A/N:: Hullo everyone. I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. i've been ground form the computer about 100 times now, actually, I'm supposed to be ground from it until March 3rd, but my step-dad doesn't need to know that I'm on right now, does he?
NOTE:: special thanks to my beta-reader, Shigasu. Don't worry, I'm working on my grammer. LoL.
To SonKatsuko:: Hey girl!! Don't worry, I'm lazy too when it comes to certain things. Just to make you happy, here's the translations to the Japanese words I've been using.
Vegeta No Ouji~ Prince Vegeta
Nan De Mo~ Whatever
Now that that's done, now it's the depressioning disclaimer. ~_~

False Hope
Chapter 4

Bulma pressed a blue button on the rejuvenation tank as she saw Starr tap on the glass. Slowly the liquid began to drain, and the hatch lifted up with a hiss. Starr pulled off the oxygen mask, and climbed out of the tank.
"How do you feel?" Bulma asked her young friend, concern dominating her tone.
"Like I got hit by a friggin' train." The Saiyan answered as she raised her ki in order to dry off. "Do you know who attacked me?" A strange gleam flashed through her eyes, a gleam of anger.
"One of Quenandra's minions," Vegeta answered.
Starr smirked in amusement at this. "I guess she'll be paying a visit since her pathetic minion didn't do the job."
Vegeta nodded in agreement with Starr. The teen sighed, and stretched out her back.
"Well, I'm going to be doing some hard-core training. Nobody attacks me, and gets away with it." Starr turned and walked out of the recovery chamber.
Vegeta, who didn't want to be alone with the blue haired woman, followed the girl. Bulma shook her head and sighed.
"You would think that they were going to war or something."
_______________________________________________________________________
Starr collapsed onto her knees as the gravity simulator's computer had risen the gravity to 450 times earths normal gravity. With great effort, the Saiyan shakily got to her feet, retaliating against the heavy pressure of gravity that was weighing down on her.
"I can't remember if I'm training to fight the androids, or if it's because of the fact that Quenandra decided to attack," Starr said aloud to the empty room. She shook her head, and began punching and kicking imaginary enemies in front of her. As luck would have it, the moment she released a ki ball at one of the droids, Starr heard a knock at the chamber entrance. Starr turned her head and looked at the door. Just as her focus was returning to the task at hand, her own blast hit her squarely in the stomach, forcing her into a wall with a tremendous force.
"Damn it!" Starr got back to her feet. "Computer, shut down gravity simulation." The computer 'beeped' in reply. Growling, she walked over to the door and opened it. Starr leaned against the door frame, and stood glaring at the lavender-haired boy from the future.
"What do you want Trunks?" Starr asked none too nicely. Trunks looked back at the female, who obviously didn't like being interrupted.
"Bulma sent me out to see how you're doing,"
"Oh I see, now you're an errands boy," Starr sneered. She saw the look on Trunks's face, and sighed. "I'm fine. Happy?" Trunks merely sighed in answer. Starr Growled, and moved out of the doorway so that Trunks could enter.
Trunks got the message, and walked inside. Once both teens were inside, the full-blooded Saiyan closed the door.
"Obviously you were here for another reason," Starr stated. "Well, what is it?" Trunks sat down on the floor, and looked up at Starr.
"What's going on between you and that Quenandra person?" Trunks asked. Starr scowled.
"Were you not listening at all yesterday? I already told you!"
"I know you said PART of it, but I can sense that there's more to it then just blowing up a planet. From what I saw yesterday, Vegeta is the only one who seems to know the whole story."
"That's because he's the only one I WANT to know the whole story." Starr was getting a little irritated now.
"Oh come on, Starr, if we don't know what's going on, how are we supposed to help?" Trunks asked. Starr sighed in defeat, and sat down next to Trunks.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" Starr asked, not looking at Trunks.
"Why is Quenandra so intent on getting that seeing orb?"
"Because I stole it from her, that's why." Starr answered.
"What? Why?" Trunks asked, shocked.
"Listen up and listen good Trunks. I'm only going to tell you this story once," Starr began. "Quenandra and I used to be mission partners, and we got along pretty well, which is unusual for a Saiyan and Crusettian to do so. We were always paired up, and we always completed our purging missions with in a matter of days. Once she had discovered how high my power level was, she became jealous. So in her jealous rage she did something that no one, not Saiyan, nor Earthling, could ever forgive."
"What did she do?" Trunks asked, seeing he was close to getting the answer that he wanted.
"She murder my youngest sister."
Trunks stared in shocked disbelief.
"You... You have a... a sister?" Trunks asked, still disbelieving what he heard.
"Yes I have a sister," Starr snapped back, unintentionally. "I have a few sisters. In fact, I have, or should, I say had five: Saruka, Astra, Volga, Surleena, and Saria." The two teens sat in silence, until Starr spoke again.
"In return, I not only volunteered to destroy her planet, but I also stole her families heirloom."
"The seeing orb," Trunks said, finishing the thought. Starr nodded.
"The reason why I was so pissed, to say the least, was because Saria was only 3-years-old. It doesn't matter what race you are, killing a child the way she did is pure cowardice!" Starr growled, slamming her fist into the floor, causing several thin cracks to form.
"No wonder you looked so enraged when you saw her," Trunks muttered. He looked at Starr and asked. "Why is she still fuming about the loss of her planet? I mean I know obviously it's because it's her home planet, but was there another reason?" Starr nodded.
"She's still pissed for the same reason that Vegeta is still ticked about Planet Vegeta. Now that there's no planet, she'll never become queen. You see," Starr said with an evil smirk. "I took the throne away from her when I destroyed Cruset. She's the crowned princess."
"Are you serious?" Trunks asked, daring to hope that Starr was joking.
"You took the throne away from her?"
"Isn't that what I just said?"
"Whoa," the demi-Saiyan brushed his bangs away with his hand. "Even Vegeta handled the whole 'my planet's gone, now I'll never be ruler thing' a lot better than Quenandra did." Starr raised an eyebrow at Trunks before answering.
"Vegeta was also five-years-old, and away on a mission. Neither of us knew the planet was gone until Frieza's right-hand man, Dodoria, told Vegeta. Of course, Vegeta was about to rip the pink tub-of-lards arms off," Starr said with a smirk. "Quenandra was ON the ship, and was FORCED to watch Vegeta and me destroy her planet."
"So the difference was that Vegeta didn't find out who destroyed his planet until you all went to Namek, and Quenandra found out as she watched her planet blow up," Trunks thought aloud.
"What do ya know, you're smarter than you look," the female Saiyan sneered at Trunks, earning herself a glare in return. She ignored it, and closed her eyes. "Cruset had quite an explosion when our Ki blasts hit. Nothing like the sound of a planet blowing up to wake you up in the morning." Starr smirked.
"Ummm... I'll take your word for it, Starr," Trunks said, getting to his feet. Starr snapped her eyes open, and stood up as well. She opened the chamber door, and all but threw Trunks out.
"Nice talking to you too," Trunks muttered, as Starr sealed herself in the GR once again. Trunks heard the GR power back up, and walked back to the main part of Caspule Corp..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lady Quenandra, we're approximately 3 days away from our destination."
Quenandra opened her eyes and looked at the communicator to her left.
"Very well, Enid. Notify the others."
"Yes M'lady," the picture of Enid bowed, and disappeared from the communicator. Quenandra flipped a few switches, and cut herself off from the other space pods.
"It would seem as though you have only three days left to live, Saluna," Quenandra muttered as her pod filled with a sleeping gas. "Better use your time wisely, because I will show no mercy, not after what you did to me." The Crusettian closed her eyes, and drifted into a sleep where all her plans for revenge were forming in her dreams, weaving about in her calculating mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unaware that her mortal enemy was Three days away, Starr finished her day as usual.
She finally emerged from the GR around 11:30pm. As she entered the kitchen, she saw the food that Bulma had laid out for her. Starr ate, left her plate on the table, and proceeded to the bathroom to take her shower.
Once she finally exited the shower, Starr made her way to her room. She stripped out of her towel, and threw on a pair of sleeper pants with a cami top.
"I can feel my power rising already," Starr yawned, and laid down on her bed. "I'll be ready for you, Quenandra." She whispered into the darkness with determination. The Saiyan pulled her covers up to her chin, and drifted into a light sleep.

I'm sorry if this chapter is shorter than the others. It's taken me about a week to write it. I've got alot going on right now. I recently got my first job, and I've been in training for it. (no serving french fries for me, I'm an ice cream gal. LoL). Then there's my school. Can you believe that my teachers decided that I shouldn't be allowed on the computer unless it's for homework?!?! Kuso!! I don't like my school very much.
Starr:: *mocks Mrs. Huster* A computer is a tool, not a toy. It should be used for homework purposes only"
for get that idea. Review, and it'll make me feel better.
