"I wish you were still around, Shin. I learned so much from you Kais
but ever since then, everything's gone wrong. I've made a mess of
things and I guess at this tournament thing, I'll get what I
deserve," Loren said as she gazed at the hull of her ship.
"Where did you get this? Tell me the truth," Piccolo said as he
walked up to her.
"It belonged to someone close to me."
"Where did you get it from?"
"The place that you're from."
"When have you been to Namek? You had to have gone before it was
destroyed."
"I was there when I was younger."
"The only person I know of that was there besides my people was..."
His voice trailed off as he stared at her. His memory had become
clear. He knew where he had seen her before. She was the child
that Rion had been given charge of.
"Why didn't you come back?" Piccolo asked and she looked at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she replied as she opened
what appeared to be a toolbox.
"You know who I am, Loren. Don't tell me you've forgotten
everything. Don't tell me you've forgotten those days."
"The only friend I had on that planet was destroyed with it just
like the time before."
"Perhaps, but perhaps not."
"What are you talking about?"
"I am not the same person that you first met. His memories are
within me as well as his abilities but that's it. Nameks have the
ability to fuse with another if you remember, and that's something
I've done twice."
"Why should I believe you?"
"It's the truth."

Vegeta slammed the door and Bulma looked at him.
"Excuse me. That's NOT how you enter a room," Bulma said.
"Woman I want that creature out of here!" he yelled and Bulma
folded her arms.
"This is MY parents' house and you have no say in who I allow to
stay in it."
"Get that creature off this planet. Isn't it enough that your
pathetic little world has Cell to deal with? Now you want to have
this treacherous creature stay?"
"Just WHAT did she do to you Vegeta? You're carrying on like she's
done something immoral with you."
"Bite your tongue woman! I would NOT sink so low as to commit some
immoral act with a demon."
"Then what happened? She won't tell me and you seem to be scared to
death of it."
"I am NOT afraid."
"Whatever you say Vegeta."
"Father, I think you're overreacting," Trunks said as he entered the
room and Vegeta glared at him.
"What makes YOU such an expert, boy? Simply because that demon has
touched your so-called heart?"
"Father..."
"No. I am NOT going to listen to your one-sided logic. You don't
know what that...that things is capable of."
"We all should find out at the Cell Games," Piccolo said and Vegeta
snorted.
"That's got to be the height of arrogance to name a tournament after
himself," he said.
"Well, my dear. I can't fix it. I've never seen anything like it
before," Dr. Briefs said as he walked past with Loren behind him.
"But can't you try?" she asked.
"Not if I don't understand the language of those who made it."
"I can't be stuck here. I don't want this destroyed like my other
homes."
"But if you can't leave, don't you think you should try and make the
best of things?"
"Not here. I'm already hated here."
Bulma folded her arms and gazed accusingly at Vegeta. Vegeta
returned the glare and Trunks sighed.
"Don't you feel a little sorry for her?" Bulma asked.
"No. Why should I feel sorry for someone capable of mass destruction
if she chooses it? All you see is a poor creature. You have no idea
what that creature is capable of."
"I'm also aware that you have a tendency to exaggerate," Bulma said.
"He may have some truth in what he says about her power. Her ki was
above normal when she was younger," Piccolo said and Vegeta grinned
in satisfaction.
"So another person is aware of what this creature can do," he said.
"However, I don't agree with your destructive slant on her. From my
father's memory, I see nothing to speak of as destructive."
"But aren't Nameks...?" Trunks asked and Piccolo held up his hand.
"Let's not get into that now," he said and Bulma looked at him.
"How far back does your memory go?" she asked and Piccolo smiled.
"It's much longer than yours, I can assure you."
