Her head was spinning.... A stomach-wrenching ache
made her feel like her head was split open to her skull.... The last thing
she remembered was the swirling portal, and then... falling... and the
sweet smell of fresh grass and of clean air....
The young red-head rolled over fittfully in her
sleep, nightmares tourmenting her thoughts. She had been sleeping for hours,
Bulma thought wearily. It had been at least three hours since Goku, Gohan,
Piccolo, and Vegeta had brought the young girl back to Capsule Corp. in
order to heal. They had been taking turns watching over her in the case
that she awoke and found herself in a strange place with no one around.
Bulma shifted uncomfortably and checked her watch again. Surely, it must
be time to switch shifts?
Suddenly, the girl moaned and rolled over onto her
back, eyelids fluttering lightly, as though she were waking up. The blue-haired
woman stood up and walked cautiosly to the door, knowing fully that the
girl wasn't human, as Piccolo had informed her. She glanced to the gently
snoozing Trunks who was sitting in the chair only a few feet away. None
of the Z-Senshi knew this mystery girl's intentions, and all were weary
of when she woke up. Bulma knew that Picccolo and Vegeta fully intended
to get every bit of information possible from this girl with the strange
powers who had seemingly appeared from nowhere.
Hesitating in whether or not she should call down
to one of the Z-Fighters, she made up her mind when another moan was emitted
from the tossing girl's lips. Pushing the button on the intercom, Bulma
quietly annouced that their guest was waking up.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Coming closer and closer to full wakefulmess, the
red-haired girl tossed and turned more violetnly.... Suddenly, her deep
green eyes shot open and she sat straight up, almost passing out again
as all the blood rushed from her head. Weakly letting her pounding head
fall into her hands, she took slow, deliberate breaths. It was only then
that she realized there were other people in the strange room with her.
Quickly turning to see who they were, she was reward for her jerky movements
with another dizzy spell. Blinking to clear the spots before her eyes away,
her features hardened as she took in the scene.
Several beings stood by the door, some of them certainly
not human. One was about eight foot tall and bright green, there were two
women there, one with viberant blue hair, the other with black hair. By
each of the women there was a boy, one with purple hair, the other a living
replicant of a taller man with unruley black hair that stuck out at all
angles. There was another boy, but he was tall with short black hair and
a navy blue gi. Standing behind everyone was a short man, but Terra (the
red-head. I got sick of saying 'the young girl' and 'the re-haired girl'.
so sue me. (not literally!)) could tell immediately that he was not one
to mess with.
Seeing that it was obvious there was no way she
was going to fight her way out of here, a surge of adreniline rushed through
her body, her dark green eyes flickering from green to gold. She lept from
her bed, away from everyone in the room and landed in a fighting stance,
teeth bared like some wild beast. This could be fun!
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
To say that the Z-Senshi were surprised was a mild
undestatement. Everyone except Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks and Goten practically
had their jaws hanging on the floor. Vegeta smirked smugly and Piccolo
retained his impartial mask, whereas Goten and Trunks were giving varied
compliments on how that 'looked SO cool!' Terra wore a smirk identiacal
to Vegeta's, with the exception of pointed canines that slid over her bottom
lip. Seeing her fangs, the troublesome twosome burst into another round
of gasps and exclaimations. Unable to hold it back any longer, Terra burst
into gales of laughter. Trunks and Goten hushed their ramblings when the
nameless guest started laughing.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Goku, now totally lost asked,
scratching his head in confusion. The red-head let out one last snort of
laughter before pointing to Trunks and Goten, who looked as equally confused
as Goku.
"Them." She said, still grinning, but in a darker
sort of way. "They are. All of you seem like you're either scared of me
or mute. But these two..." she snickered. "I dunno, I just think it's hilarious
that they're so young, but they're the most outgoing out of all of you..."
she paused, a distrustful gleam in her eye as she glanced at Piccolo. "...people."
She finished, crossing her arms loosely over her chest.
The room was totally silent for several streched
moments as everyone gaped at the outgoing young girl before them. ('cept
for Picci and Veggie, of course. I just can't imagine them gaping... well,
maybe Piccolo, but I dun think Vegeta would...) Terra raised an eyebrow.
"So, is everyone just gonna stand there gaping at me all day, or are you
going to tell me where I am?" The silent Vegeta studied the young creature
before him. She obviuosly wasn't human, that was certain, just by the wave
patterns of her ki's... Therefore, she must be a being from another planet.
He smirked. If this was true, then she would recognize and fear his name.
The Saiyin Prince stepped forward. "You are in no
position to be asking questions, girl." He put an empisis on the
last word and she scowled. "And exactly who are you to be ordering me
around?" She said in a sassy street voice. "And by the way, the name's
Terra. Not girl." Her tone was mocking and rude, and extremely disrespectful.
Vegeta glowed. This puny excuse for a... whatever
she was, dared mock him?! He would show her. He would prove in an all-out
fight if he had to, who here had the rights to take that tone. "I am Vegeta,
Prince of all Saiyins, girl, and I will call you what I wish!" He
paused to study the effect this had on the girl, fully expecting her to
cringe at his name and beg forgiveness!
She looked about as impressed as if he had said
he was Prince of all vegetables, (Ha ha! Get it? Prince of all Vegetables?
Veggie? LOL!) but she pulled her face into a mask of mock-surprise.
"Wow, really?!" the mask crumbled. "I really do not care." She almost
burst out laughing again at the sight of the face he made. His features
were contorted in rage and his eyes flickered from black to turquiose and
back again, just as his hair began to take on a golden hue around the edges.
"Vegeta..." The warning word from Bulma was enough
to calm the riled Prince of Vegetables down enough to that he wasn't on
the verge of becoming a Super Saiyin. He fully remembered the threats that
Bulma used to keep him in check. Eyes and hair returning to their normal
black, Vegeta glared at the ignorant young girl before him. From the superior
look on her face, she apparently had no idea how close to death she had
come today.
With a snarl of anger, Vegeta turned and stormed
from the room, most likely going to train in the GC. Terra shook her head.
"Two words." She said. "Anger Managment." She looked up at the people before
her. "So, gonna tell me where I am?"
A/N: That's it for now! Sorry if this chapie seems kinda hurried, I just wanted to get it done and posted. Hopefully the next one will be up before the end of the day, but at latest, by tomorrow. Please R&R!!
