A/N I promised myself not to say anything on some reviews I received but I couldn't help myself! First of all I knew I would get flamed at the moment I posted chapter 8 and chapter 10 and to answer Lara yes my story goes to the category of romance and second this isn't a B/V get together story if it was I would have end it up at chapter 4 like the title says it's DBZ Modified my way this is my story I wrote it that way for the purpose of it if you want to read one of my goodie go easy love story so go read The Story Not Told! I know I will lose a lot of readers before I finish that story but for those who will stick around until the end I'll tried to not disappointing you guys. Now that I am over with all this nonsense let's continue!
Chapter 11
Zen is in Trouble
A Mother's Courage
Dr Gero's ship had been intercepted by Yuri's not far after he left Earth orbit, this last one was wondering why Dr Poison didn't came back after his mission and wanted to checked this out. He was going to kill the evil scientist when this one offered his services and Zen's father accepted. Paragus and Yuri were old friends when the old saiya-jin escaped Vegeta-sei with his infant son Yuri had made sure that his friend will have all that he needed, as the years passed by Yuri used his help for various matter that didn't concerned the Hitokiri's affairs. So when Yuri learned about Zen's betrayal Paragus was the first person he called
"I don't see why you have to kill her I mean she's still your daughter adopted or not" said Paragus
"You don't understand to be one of the head members you must have an impeccable record! I have been a hit man all my life and to be accepted as a head member is really a great honor. I worked my ass off for this but I really got accepted because of Zen and Zane"
"Why?" asked Dr Gero
"You see these two kids are pretty powerful and full with potential having them as a part of this society is a great addition to our supremacy" explained Yuri
"But Zen gave you some trouble right?" said Paragus
"Yes she's a headstrong difficult to control, but her brother is no problem. I run into so much trouble because of her and almost got kick out from the bench so many times"
"I don't see why" said Dr Gero
"It's easy if I can't control a little girl how can I take care of Hitokiri affairs?" said Yuri
"Soon this won't be a problem once we take care of her there will be no problem!" said Paragus
"Yes and with the help of our friend here and of your son soon the entire universe will be ours to rule!"
"With these high tech equipments you put at my disposition I will create the perfect android ever and Cell will look like nothing before it!" said Dr Gero
"Good you know what to do Paragus?" asked Yuri
"I am on it" replied the old saiya-jin
On her spaceship Zen didn't have any idea of what had been prepared for her. She hated to be pregnant which made her felt vulnerable and the fact she was all alone didn't help either, she had wish she could stay in hibernation until she's come to term but couldn't do it because hibernation will only slowed things out and can even hurt the baby. She had to spend the last eight months alone in her ship boring herself to dead but this was nothing compared to the birth and actually take care of the baby who seemed to pass the majority of the time driving her mother crazy.
Young Gomen[1] was born with a tail and white and black spiky hair but still the mother couldn't still tell who the father was
"Damn saiya-jin they all look alike to me!" she said sighing while she was cleaning the new born. Gomen wouldn't stop crying it was like someone was torturing her and Zen felt like someone was pulling her heart out
"Please don't cry!" said Zen alarmed but everything she did the baby girl wouldn't stop crying the only time she stopped was when she is being fed or when she's sleeping. Soon Zen run out of supplies and had to land on an artificial planet where its function was much like a gas station you can buy food and supplies there. Not wanting to let the baby alone she brought her along luckily for her Gomen was asleep
"Hey you this is a bar not a nursery!" said the barman but one looked of Zen shut him up
"When I can find baby supplies in this place?" asked the woman
"Are you crazy? No one come here for this here but you can always placed an special order at Al's" said the barman and Zen left for Al's
"Hey you I have an urgent order to place" said Zen to one of the attendant of Al's
"Wow how did you get that baby?" said the man laughing
"How do you think? You nimrod! Here's the things I need how long will it takes to get them" she asked the man took the list examined it and replied
"One month or two"
"Ok I'll be back to pick them out" she said leaving
"Hey baby will you like to make one like this with me I always wanted to have a kid" said warrior that bumped into her she kicked him in the testes and replied
"Now you won't have to worry about that now"
It was hard for her to not to pass unnoticed with that baby but she feigned to ignored the stares
"Once I get those supplies we'll leave for my private planet once there I wouldn't have to worry about you for three years after that we'll have to move all the time because the Hitokiri will be after me by than but don't worry mommy will take good care of you" she said putting the baby to bed and went to take a shower
What Zen didn't know was that her father was looking for her and a special message was sent to him from the barman telling him that his dear daughter was around. Broli was in his way for his mission.
The white haired woman had little time to herself as the baby was constantly fussing not giving any time out to her mother. The day where she has pick up her supplies came she let the baby with someone but on the way she met with a tall man who won't let her pass
"Listen pal I don't have time to play get out of my way or get blown away!" she threatened him but for all answered the man who was Broli attacked and she had just the time to duck the blow
"Okay you'll soon learn not to mess with a cranky mother!" she said firing a succession of ki blast that didn't affect his opponent one bit
"What the hell!" she said surprised but his opponent fired a powerful ki blast that blew up half of the town Zen got out of the debris angrier than ever as she power up, and noticed that she had gotten whicker, she didn't have time to train since she had fought Cell. She launched a assault at the man who backed up but when she thought she was wining the man transformed into a super saiya-jin and the power level she was sensing was so great that Zen decided that she better get out of there before she got creamed
"How many of them there are?" she said heading for the hotel where Gomen was but Broli was following her closely without stopping she yelled to the man who was holding the child
"Bring her to my ship quick and stay there!" the man complied
"What do you want?" asked Zen when Broli started shouting after her but no answer came
"Don't tell me they have already found out! He's really strong I don't think I can beat him!" said Zen for herself has she tried to stay alive she blocked some of Broli's blows but not all of them one of them sent her crashing to a mountain and he continued to pound her until she made her break the mountain in two. She tried to get on her feet but felt backward that was then she saw that the man had abandoned Gomen leaving her in the ground to save his ass
"Oh the coward!!" she yelled and rolled away from Broli's foot that was going to crash her but she got hit by a ki blast in the back before she could get her balance the man burrow his elbow in her stomach making her spit blood and some more when he punched her in the face and she felt head first into the ground and Broli fired a ki blast in that direction.
Not knowing how to attack her aggressor she took out her katana, she knew that wouldn't work on a fighter like Broli but she threw it at him like a boomerang unfortunately for her the man caught it and was going to throw it back at her when Gomen started crying her lungs out he stopped looking at the baby who was laying not far away from the battlefield he growled and said
"Kakorott!" and threw the sword at the baby instead seeing that her child was in danger Zen used instant transmission and used her body as a shield for the baby and the blade lodged itself in her back transpiercing her left lung and stop at one millimeter of Gomen's head
"Don't cry you going to be ok" she said while coughing blood amazingly enough the baby stopped crying
Broli landed near her and took the sword out of her body and she fell limply on the ground he took her by the neck and lift her so she could face him she raised her hand concentrating all the power she had left and fired it in his face the blow made him let go and fell back but not without taking her puzzle box she always wear in his neck with him. Once in the ground Zen stretched her arm and took a hold of the baby put two fingers in her forehead and vanished.
Zane was working to his quarters in the Hitotkiri planet when he started to hear a baby crying and walked toward the sound only to found a woman bathe in her own blood holding a baby in her arms
"Zen!!" yelled the brother running toward her
"What happened to you?" he asked at his dying sister
"Hi bro" she said feebly while coughing
"Don't talk where's the box?"
"I lost it"
"Ok I am going to bring you to the infirmary" he said lifting her but she cried in pain before she said
"It's too late for me now"
"Don't say that? You'll be fine!"
"You were always a bad liar Zane!"
"Who did that to you?"
"Don't know…was a super saiya-jin"
"The same guy that kill Freeza!"
"No…someone else"
"Who sent him?"
"Don't know, Zane…"
"Yes"
"You were right about everything I should have listened to you. You must hate me now"
"What? Why?"
"Because everybody hates me…I was always a burden to you, father and everyone I know I am sorry I am not like you"
"What are you talking about?"
"I tried to changed but it didn't work I guest I deserve to die that way I only got what I deserved like father use to say"
"Don't say that please Zen don't die" said Zane as tears started to pour from his cheek
"I am sorry Zane but please take good care of my daughter don't let her become like me" she said giving him the child
"I swear that I'll care for her like my own child" said Zane, touching her brother face she said
"I…" but expired before finishing her sentence
"Zen, Zen!!" he said shaking her "Goodbye sister" he said crying
Yuri was furious he just learned that Zen had escaped Broli when Zane entered the room carrying Zen corpse in his arms
"Zane what happened?" said Yuri
"Someone murdered Zen" he said putting her on the table Yuri took her pulse just to make sure she was dead
"Did she tell you who did it?"
"Some super saiya-jin"
"And you want to get revenge right?"
"I can't let him get away with it!"
"I understand what you feel I'll take care of it personally"
"No! I want to kill him myself!"
"You know the law about vengeance among us"
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that you are responsible for this!"
"Zen had betrayed us and you know darn well what the price of betrayal is?"
"Death" replied Zane
"I am sorry son but the council was unanimous Zen had to die"
"She wanted just to be left alone, you should have never force her to be one of us she wasn't cut for that kind job"
"I didn't have a choice!"
"You did have one, but just didn't care she was right about you and all this time I thought you cared about us"
"I do care for you my son"
"The only one you care about is yourself!"
"So what are going to do now?"
"What I should have done a long time ago?"
"You know you can't go against the council you'll get killed and I wouldn't be able to protect you!"
"I am not afraid to die father"
"Good because they not afraid to kill you" the two men looked at each other and Zane said
"My sister blood remain on you remember that next time we meet each other I won't be calling you father" than he left without looking back. Yuri looked at the corpse laying on his desk
"What a waste if you had obeyed me none of this would have ever happened, you brought this on yourself Zen I am so sorry I had to do kill you we could have been great together" he said kissing her forehead
"You are it is always a shame to waste such a good warrior" said Dr Gero behind him
"Yes but its too late now"
"Not really"
"What do you mean?"
"Have been doing some research and I think that it is possible"
"What is possible?"
"To turn a normal human being into an android"
"You want to turn her into one of your machine! But she's dead!"
"That's not a problem when I finish with her she'll be more powerful and totally devoted to you"
"So be it" said Yuri smiling as Dr Gero took her away everything was working as planned it was a matter of time before he made his plans in action.
