Okay, here it is, chapter ten! Whoo hoo!! Yippee!! [Does a little jig]
Yeah, I'm excited too.
Uhm, uh, anyway, see, today I introduce some new characters, a couple of which will pretty much be stayin' in through the whole fic. But first, Raditz comes [creepy music], yeah. Hehe, um, so, stay tuned, kay?
Alex: I really wished I could fight that day.
Alex Ultra: Hey, don't spoil it!
Alex: I know! But they already know that I'm not getting involved!
Alex Ultra: Yeah, but I don't want you spoiling it for them.
Mystery Guest: Hey, where do I go?
Alex: Back there sis.
Alex Ultra: HEY! I SAID DON'T SPOIL IT!!
Alex: What do you mean?
Alex Ultra: -_-... And you're supposed to be a genius? Geeze...
Hehe, moving on... I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have come up with a name for Alex's attack! I'm calling it 'Omni Bubbles', leave a review and tell me what you think 'cause I can always change it if something better comes my way.
OKAY!! Now, let's get down to business!!
~~~~~~*** AND THE DAYS ROLL ON ***~~~~~~
Well, let's see. How should I describe it? Scary. Yeah, that works.
Okay, here's the deal. I've always been pretty aware, but after training with Tien for a while, I'm even more so. I've even learned some of Chaotzu's psychic techniques! So, of course I can feel how hard Goku fought against Raditz, with everything he had. And Raditz was playing around with him! Even with Piccolo's help, Goku could not gain the upper hand. That is, until he put that hand on Raditz's tail.
The sharp fluctuation in his energy told me that Raditz was in terrible pain, his power level dropped to a practical zero. And yet, just as Piccolo was nearly charged (this is all from what I could feel, witty dialogue not included) Raditz was up again and on top of the pained Goku.
I ran outside, hoping to maybe see something, it was still possible to see the attack that killed Goku. I could feel Gohan's energy rise from practically unnoticeable to almost greater than Goku's reduced levels. Raditz (obviously caught by surprise because his level was still far too high for it not to have been) was knocked off Goku, but Goku's strength didn't return, I knew it and he knew it. He couldn't fight normally, so he gave his life to Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon.
I looked up into the sky, in the general direction of the fight, and a couple of others followed my gaze. What we saw was what I had hoped to see, the head of the Special Beam Cannon, flying off to space, where it disappeared. "Huh, must have been a shuttle or something." Was one bystander's response. "Nope, it was a green man from outer space." Was my whispered response. Did I mention that I was in the half-English section of town? Well I was. Which made it easier, you know, to buy things. Hehe, despite my little shopping trip with Tien, I still didn't have any personal effects (toothbrush, toothpaste, a brush for my now-long hair, ect...).
A couple spoke something in Japanese right next to me, all I picked out was "there" and "What". Needless to say, I still had a long way to go with my Japanese. But that was okay, I had a few years to get used to it. And I intended to learn.
~~~ About a year later ~~~
Okay, so my Japanese still isn't all that great, but at least I can hold my own in a conversation! I was still working on the accent and I still relied heavily on using mental pictures to express some ideas. I've gotten so good with telepathy that I can not only speak, I can also convey pictures, feelings, and even block other people out! Which I don't do often because not many people out here are that aware.
But hey, Kami doesn't speak too much Japanese either! Or does he? I don't know, I do know that I only spoke English to him and he only spoke English to me. So there.
Why did I bring up Kami? Well, I was having trouble watching the fight through feeling it. I had to actually see it, and the Watch Tower was the only way I knew how.
{Kami?}
{Yes? What is it, young one?}
{Um, is there anyone up there?}
{No, not right now. Why? Is there a reason you ask?}
{Yeah, well. I was wondering if I could join you in watching the fight up there?}
{Well, you know where the tower is, so if you came of your own accord, I wouldn't kick you off.}
{Oh great! Thanks! Sensing it from here is killing me!}
{Okay, I'll have Popo watching for you. Ooh!}
{Yeah, I'll bet that hurt. Poor Yamcha...} The fight had already started, and they were fighting the Saibamen, and winning. But Yamcha just lost his life.
I ran around to the back of the gym, to the alley.
"Hey there, little girl. What are you doing back here? Lost your daddy?"
"A long time ago. Now out of my way, I have no time for you!"
"Ooh! Watch out Bobby! Little girl is gonna beat you up!"
"Look, are you gonna' move, or am I gonna move you?"
"Move me." He crossed his arms and stood confidently.
"You asked for it." Without further warning I jumped up at him, grabbing his wrist I hopped over his opposite shoulder and flung him over mine. The result of which saw him careening into a nearby brick wall, and then through it. Fortunately that building was abandoned and so nobody saw me. "Well, that felt good. Anyone else?" I looked around, and a number of men were looking at me strangely, not sure whether they should run or attack.
One of them answered my challenge with a knife. I grabbed the knife (by the edge) and punched him in the gut, sending him to the ground, unconscious. "Let's get out of here!" The remaining three guys ran like the hounds of the underworld were after them.
"Heh, street trash." With some of my aggression worked out I was free to make my way to where I was going, but not before I got my watch from the gym (the one I got for my birthday, which I decided was going to be the day Tien found me in the field, hey, it was the day I came into this world, wasn't it?) And I launched myself into the sky, headed for the tower.
When I got there Popo was watering one of the trees close to the edge of the tower. "Hello, Mr. Popo."
He looked up at me and stood up. "Follow me, please." He smiled my way and went over to Kami. "Kami, she's here."
"Thank you, Popo." Mr. Popo nodded respectfully and went back to his plants. "Well, Alex. I believe there's a reason you asked permission before coming here?"
I laughed nervously. "Well, two, actually. First, I had always been taught to ask permission and to value honesty. In fact, I'm a bit too honest for my own good. And second, well, I didn't want to run into anyone who didn't already know me." I rubbed the side of my head, yeah; I guess I do remind people of Goku. Well, people who know him anyway. (Mainly me...)
"Yes, well I'm glad you did. You see, Goku is on his way here. He should be arriving any minute now."
"Actually, he left a day late, so he's going to be rather late. How late I can't say, mostly because I can't remember." When I saw Kami's confused look I reminded him of the TV thing I had explained to him before. "But I can't remember everything so don't be expecting me to tell you when he gets here. That's your job, you need to warn ME so I can hide!" Kami nodded as we watched the fight on Earth. Krillin had long ago destroyed all the Saibamen and the remaining fighters were working on Nappa.
I didn't hear the communication between Chaotzu and Tien, but I knew what was being said, so I relayed what I knew about the present to Kami. "Hmm." Was all he really said to me.
You know what the strangest part about this was? Despite that these Saiyans were from outer space, they spoke almost perfect English. No wonder they all knew English, everyone else they fought did! You would almost expect that there would be some other language they would have to learn, but there fortunately wasn't.
Oh well, whatever makes it easier.
"Go, hide, now. Goku is coming." I hid, floating down to one of the lower levels where he would never go. I watched him fly off with the Nimbus and watched to make sure he hadn't seen me.
When I felt the coast was clear, I went back to the top.
Kami was watching intently as Nappa turned his sights on Gohan. "Okay, Gohan, run while you can." Piccolo just sacrificed himself for Gohan and I was relaying his little sacrificial speech to Kami. "Oh, shoot! Kami!" Kami was fading away, he didn't have much time and there was nothing I could do. Mr. Popo was pleading with his friend not to go. But it was too late, he was gone, and so were the DragonBalls.
It's a good thing I knew what happened next, or I might have been even MORE heartbroken at seeing the two of them leave like that.
The dark-hearted Piccolo, giving his and Kami's life to save a child. It was touching. Not to mention that Kami was one of the few people I could actually talk to here. He didn't always listen, but he could at least keep a secret.
Just before he faded out completely I sent Piccolo a mental message. {Piccolo, good job.} Was all I said. I don't think he was even sure he heard anything at all, he didn't move, except for his smile getting slightly brighter just before he faded out completely. He probably thought it was some kind of 'Mystic Voice' that sometimes plagues people about to die. Yeah, that was my excuse. I was a 'Mystic Voice', and it was kind of cool.
Now Nappa's sights were on Gohan again. But there came Goku and the Nimbus cloud to save the day!
Okay, a bunch of dialogue I couldn't hear, some fighting, that Key You Ken move of his, and Nappa was blown up by Vegeta.
Okay, Vegeta's turn. Lot's of fighting, some talking (okay, lots of talking), and some more fighting.
The Galick Gun and Kamehameha collide. What a light show! Key You Ken 4 and Vegeta is knocked away. Now he's mad and transforms into the big beast thing with the moon. Okay, there's Yajirobe and there goes the tail. Now Gohan goes beast and beats Vegeta to the ground. Goku tells Krillin not to kill him and Vegeta gets away.
Well, that was exciting, but a lot more drawn out than they make it seem on TV, a lot more. The whole thing took several hours!
That's when I realized what time it was. "Oh, shoot! I'm gonna' be late!" I said good-bye to Popo, and raced off to my Martial Arts class. Yes, I was taking a class!
"Oh great! Not again!" Well, it was worth it!
~~~ A couple years later ~~~
Now I'm eight years old, it's been three years since I 'fell' into this world. I still kept those memories of Kinkilla, and trained for my meeting with him. Well, it's been about a year since Frieza appeared on Earth and Future (Mirai) Trunks killed him and his father. That wasn't really a big event and I didn't think too much of it.
But it was another event that happened that was burned into my memory.
By that time I was as good at speaking Japanese as a native speaker, so I now spent most of my time in the solidly Japanese sections of town.
Did I mention how much I hate Drunk Drivers? Well, I do because they are very dangerous. And around me, being dangerous is dangerous to your health. Even more so than the alcohol. Hehe.
See, I was walking around downtown; there was some kind of convention going on at Capsule Corp. so there were even more people on the street than usual.
SCRREEECCCHHH!!!! "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! JENNY GET BACK HERE!!!" A protective mother ran out into the street to get her daughter.
I saw the disaster about to happen long before anyone else. Those two didn't have time to get out of the way. "Oh, shoot!" I knew I could do something about it, so I did.
I ran out into the street and stopped in front of the mother and daughter, giving myself about twenty feet.
Bracing myself for impact I readied to stop that car, which was going WAY too fast! I could hear some people screaming and some people who wanted to help but knew they couldn't. I even heard some comments in my mind. {Pity, first those two, and now a foolish little girl. Didn't her momma tell her not to be a hero?} {Oh, no! Someone stop her!} I smiled a little as the car neared.
SLAM!! My hands made contact with the bumper and my feet dug into the pavement. The blacktop buckled as I dug a trench in the road with my feet. But the driver was making no effort to stop; instead he revved the engine higher.
Stopping within inches of the little family I smiled that I had saved them and risked a look over the hood.
The man in the passenger's seat was yelling at the driver to get going and the driver was punching it, nervously watching as the little girl that had stopped his car lifted the front end off the ground and angrily slammed it down again. The engine dropped out and the two 'criminals' looked very, very afraid.
I watched as the police stopped nearby and pulled the two from the car. I didn't care why; I was too worried about the two behind me.
I turned to them and saw the mother crying over her daughter, I tried to ask if they were all right, but they didn't respond to my question. Instead, the mother looked up to me, and muttered something I recognized as "Thank you." In English.
I immediately reverted to English, which I'm sure surprised the two. "Are you all right?"
The mother nodded, but the girl was different. "Hey, you don't talk funny! My name's Jenny, what's yours?"
I smiled and told her my name as I guided them to the sidewalk. "My name's Alex. Good to meet you! You know, you really shouldn't play in the street. It's dangerous."
"Okay! Hey, you wanna' play?" I smiled nervously, she was cute. But I could tell we were getting stares. No one stops a car with their bare- hands and goes unnoticed. "So where's your mommy?"
I looked at her mother, and sighed. "I... don't have one. Orphaned." I felt uneasy. I had to go. I couldn't stay here anymore. "Excuse me, I have to go. Good-bye." I ran off and, just to make sure no one was following. I flew away to the orphanage.
~~~ Three days later ~~~
"Hey, Alex."
"What?" I looked at the boy who had addressed me, Heilen. He was nice, but I didn't really like him.
"I think there's someone here for you!" He was smiling, but I was confused. Here for me?
I didn't say a word. I just went to the counselor's room and opened the door.
"Hi." I was shocked to see Jenny, the little girl I had saved the other day, and her mother was at the table, as was another man, apparently her father. There was a boy in there who looked a bit older than me. His dark- green eyes told me he was related to Jenny, probably her brother.
"Alex. These people are here for you."
"Hello?"
"Hi! I'm gonna be your new sister!" Jenny had a cheerful grin on her face, I couldn't help but smile.
"These are your new parents," The counselor was speaking to me in Japanese. Apparently they lived in America and were only here for the convention at Capsule Corp. Nifty! I'm getting adopted by a family of geniuses!
Well, this was going to be fun, and I've got a new family too!
But is that a good thing? What if something happened to them?
I didn't think I could handle that.
So I'd just have another reason to get strong.
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 10 ***~~~~~~
Whoa! Chapter 10 finished!
Did you guess who the Mystery Guest is? That's right, it's Jennifer! (Jenny's her nickname.) Oh, and do you think you can help me out? I need a last name for these people and I would really appreciate it if you could help me out (I want a Japanese sounding name please)! I really don't care what it is, if it sounds good I'll probably use it. Thanks!!
Jenn: Hey, I remember that! I didn't know that there was so much to it!
Alex Ultra: Yeah, well. There's a lot of things you don't know. Aren't there?
Alex: Hey, A U? You seen my sis?
Jenn: I'm right here!
Alex: Oh, right. Say, you wanna' go train?
Jenn: Sure! Wow, I never knew you were so deep!
Alex: Yeah, like the Pacific. But I kept it pretty well hidden. [Both walk off with silly grins]
Alex Ultra: Now, isn't that an inspiring picture?
Jeff: Hey, bro. You seen sis?
Alex Ultra: I'm not your brother, but I did see both your sisters head off to train.
Jeff: Okay, come on sweetheart. I want you to meet my sister!
Some girl: Okay, let's go!
Whatever. Well, like I said so many times before. REVIEW ME!! I'll feel so much better and might even update sooner if you do!
Well,
LATER
Uhm, uh, anyway, see, today I introduce some new characters, a couple of which will pretty much be stayin' in through the whole fic. But first, Raditz comes [creepy music], yeah. Hehe, um, so, stay tuned, kay?
Alex: I really wished I could fight that day.
Alex Ultra: Hey, don't spoil it!
Alex: I know! But they already know that I'm not getting involved!
Alex Ultra: Yeah, but I don't want you spoiling it for them.
Mystery Guest: Hey, where do I go?
Alex: Back there sis.
Alex Ultra: HEY! I SAID DON'T SPOIL IT!!
Alex: What do you mean?
Alex Ultra: -_-... And you're supposed to be a genius? Geeze...
Hehe, moving on... I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have come up with a name for Alex's attack! I'm calling it 'Omni Bubbles', leave a review and tell me what you think 'cause I can always change it if something better comes my way.

But is that a good thing? What if something happened to them?
I didn't think I could handle that.
So I'd just have another reason to get strong.
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 10 ***~~~~~~
Whoa! Chapter 10 finished!
Did you guess who the Mystery Guest is? That's right, it's Jennifer! (Jenny's her nickname.) Oh, and do you think you can help me out? I need a last name for these people and I would really appreciate it if you could help me out (I want a Japanese sounding name please)! I really don't care what it is, if it sounds good I'll probably use it. Thanks!!
Jenn: Hey, I remember that! I didn't know that there was so much to it!
Alex Ultra: Yeah, well. There's a lot of things you don't know. Aren't there?
Alex: Hey, A U? You seen my sis?
Jenn: I'm right here!
Alex: Oh, right. Say, you wanna' go train?
Jenn: Sure! Wow, I never knew you were so deep!
Alex: Yeah, like the Pacific. But I kept it pretty well hidden. [Both walk off with silly grins]
Alex Ultra: Now, isn't that an inspiring picture?
Jeff: Hey, bro. You seen sis?
Alex Ultra: I'm not your brother, but I did see both your sisters head off to train.
Jeff: Okay, come on sweetheart. I want you to meet my sister!
Some girl: Okay, let's go!
Whatever. Well, like I said so many times before. REVIEW ME!! I'll feel so much better and might even update sooner if you do!
Well,
