Chapter 7: The truth about Katrina
"Heather, where is my mom?" Katrina asked a tall lady behind a desk.
"I believe she is in room 6," Heather said.
"Thanks," said Katrina. "Come on." The two followed Katrina around the corner.
Heather leaned over the counter and said, "Wait, I think that she's with a patient." Heather couldn't finish her sentence, because Katrina was out of sight.
"Mom, I need to talk to you. Are you available?" Katrina asked as she entered where her mother was.
"Oh, Kat, what is the matter?" questioned the doctor. Katrina looked at her mother with an 'I need to talk to you, Now' look. "Okay, meet me in room 16, I believe that it is empty. I just have to finish here and I'll be right there."
A few moments later, a doctor entered the room where the trio was waiting.
"Now, what can I do for you, Sweetie?" she said. "Oh, who are these two dashing young, gentlemen?" looking at Trunks and Goten, and they both, started to blush.
"This is Trunks and Goten. They are the two, I told you about."
"Oh, yeah, that's right. Thank you for helping my daughter study for her test," the doctor said extending her hand. The two looked at Katrina with a puzzled look and didn't know what to do.
"Mom, to tell you the truth, I meet them about 5 years ago. And just last week, I fainted in front of their house-" But before she could say a more her mom interrupted.
"I thought you said that you didn't have any more fainting spells?"
"Well, I'm sorry. Any ways, today when I was going to the movies I ran into them, and when we were talking, a green guy, named Darius, came by and said I was to be his bride. The other strange part about it was that I felt that energy before," She looked at her mother, who looked like she was about the faint. Then she added, "so I said 'no' and he was going to grab me and I started to fight him, but he knocked me out. When I woke up, I was with these two and some one named Dende, but when I woke up, I looked at my hands and they were like this." Katrina focused and a light-yellow, swirling aura surrounded her and faded away, when it passed, she was green, again. Her mother looked in wide-eyed.
"But, how I thought I blocked that?"
"I was healed. What is going on mom? I know you know. Mr. Popo said that I'm might be a Humaikian. Is that true?" She looked at her mom.
"Okay, it is true. I am from another Planet. Before you were born, my planet, our planet, Humaik was being taken over by the Frylaks, an evil race hoping to takeover any planet that they can. So, I came to earth, I was the only survivor left, I think. I met you dad, and he understood. We both agreed not to let you be able to use your other powers until we thought the time was right. I blocked yours and Reyna's memory of when you were younger and you powers, except for you healing powers. So, I was controlling your human powers, So now that you know how to, you do have to change back into you true form every once and a while," her mom said as she began to cry. "We just wanted you to live a normal life. I didn't mean for you to find out this way. Please forgive me." Giving her daughter a hug.
"I forgive you. Just tell me one thing, who is this Darius?"
"Well, you said that he was green, right?" Katrina shook her head. "Then he couldn't be a Frylak."
"Yes, we know we think that he is a Nameck," Goten interrupted.
"A Nameck, you say, well. I don't know why he wants you to be his bride, but you have to watch out." Just then the door opened.
"Doctor Kol, we need your help. What the?" He looked at Katrina, who didn't turn back, yet. "Who are you? What are you?"
"You didn't see a thing." And Mrs. Kol waved her hand in front of his face. He blinked once and left like nothing happened. "I want you to turn back and leave," she said, turning to face her daughter.
"Wow, what did you just do?" questioned her daughter. "And can you teach me?"
"I blocked his memory kind of like I erased his memory to make you look like normal. Here." She waved her hand over her daughter's head and a small blue light came from her palm. "There every thing you need to know about you powers, what types of attacks and abilities that you have. You have just gained all of the knowledge that I block and then some. Now, hurry up. I want you to stay with Trunks and Goten today, you would be safer. Is that okay?" Goten and Trunks nodded.
"Thanks, Mom," Katrina said, and they left to fly to Capsule Crop.
Chapter 8: The Gravity room?
"Hey you guys, would you like to train, before my dad gets home?" Trunks asked opening the door for Katrina and Goten to enter.
"Sure, but I'll like to have a snack first, it you don't mind," Goten said, flying to the kitchen. "How about you?" he asked looking at Katrina, who was too busy, looking around the living room.
"Oh, I'm fine," she replied.
"Hey, Goten, let me help you." Trunks came flying into the kitchen. "Did you notice Kat, learned how to fly just like that." He snapped his fingers. "I know it's not that hard, but we're raised around that, but she probably didn't know what a ki was or how to use it."
"I don't know, but like her mom said she knows it all now. I wonder what her other powers are, maybe she can teach us, and we can teach her." Goten was rummaging through the frige., and found half of a chicken, on the bottom shelf. Trunks was looking in the cabinets.
"I'm ready to…" Katrina stopped mid sentence when she saw Goten and Trunks 'snacks'. "I thought you guys were having a snack not a meal."
"Yeah, we are. This is our snack. Us, Saiyans eat a lot," Goten replied taking a bit of his chicken.
"We can't help it, and after we're done we have enough energy to fight at full power. If we don't eat sometimes it's hard for us to fight," said Trunks.
Katrina sat down next to Goten and waited patently until they were done. "So, Trunks, where are your parent?"
"Oh, ummmm… I think they went out with my sister."
"Didn't your parents and mine went to Master Rochi's?"
Trunks thought back then nodded his head. "Why didn't we go again?" he asked looking at Goten. Goten looked up from his chicken.
"You know, why." Goten glanced at Katrina then back at Trunks. Trunks follows his movements, than nodded in agreement. Katrina wasn't paying attention to the conversation, and was still wide-eyed at the two eating their 'snacks'.
"Are you two done, yet? I would like to see what you do for training."
The two stopped their discussion and looked at Katrina, who was standing up.
"Well?!" she said tapping her foot as she looked at them with eager eyes. They stared for a second. Goten looked at Trunks, who did the same. Then the two finished their picking.
"Well, that's better," Goten said rubbing his stomach.
"Okay, Goten should we use the gravity room, or don't you think that Kat, here can handle it?"
"What do you mean if I can handle it? You know just because I'm new to this energy stuff, but I think I can handle it just fine," Katrina said with her hands on her hips, and giving a glaring look.
"I didn't mean it like that. It's just not a normal room that you might think of. My mom made it, actually it was my grandpa, but anyway we can change the gravity, in the room. I can handle over four hundred g's."
"So can I," interrupted Goten.
"Well, I think that I can handle it just fine, but can we start of low?"
"Yeah, we weren't going to start of high for your first time," Goten replied with a smile.
After that was settled, the three walked to the gravity room.
"Okay, then, Trunks and I should spar first, just to show you what to do. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes, that's fine with me."
"Let me put the shield up," Trunks said, and he walk to a wall that had a lot of buttons and started to tap a few then a clear wall dropped in front of Katrina. "There, now you won't get hurt from an stray ki," Trunks joked. "Also the gravity on this side is different then your side, about four hundred and fifty eight times more different."
Katrina watched Trunks and Goten take their shirts off them, warm up, before they got started. Next, thing she knew, Trunks had disappeared, and reappeared above Goten.
Wow, what energy they have. I never notice this before but they are kind of cute with out their shirts on.
"But I think Goten is a little bit more cuter, don't you?" questioned a voice behind Katrina.
"Reyna, don't say that out loud, he might hear." Katrina turned around.
"You know that he didn't."
"Yeah, well. Oh, why weren't you there to heal me? You can still heal, can't you?"
"Yes, I can, but I can't heal the injures that you had. I can only heal small cuts and bruises."
"Oh, yeah. Hey, can you do me a favor? I want to watch this fight but I'm thirsty. Can you get me some water? I'm petty sure Trunks wouldn't mind."
"Sure," Reyna said and faded through the wall.
"She actually doing something that I asked. Man, I think something is wrong with her," she stated and turned back to the fighting, as she looked up a ki as coming straight for her. She let out a slight gasp, before the ki as absorbed by the invisible wall, and then she relaxed.
Goten had been the one who shot the ki, for Trunks had disappeared. When Trunks reappeared Goten already counted on were he was and swung his fist in Trunks' stomach, causing him to bend over. Before Goten could hit again, Trunks had swung at Goten. Then Trunks faded out again and reappeared above Goten. He knocked Goten right in the back of the head, causing Goten to come crashing into the ground with a loud thud. Katrina with out realizing knew what Trunks was going to do next.
~GOTEN… WATCH OUT, TRUNKS IS GOING TO SEND A KI, STRAIGHT FOR YOU,~ Katrina screamed toward Goten. Goten knew what Trunks might do, but he did sense him powering up, yet. Trunks had almost sent the ki, but Goten flipped out of the way. When he was at a safe distance, he looked over at Katrina, puzzled.
How did she do that? Goten thought to himself. Katrina looked at him with relief in her eyes.
Thank goodness he's all right, she thought to herself. Leaving Trunks behind, Goten flew over to where Katrina was.
"Hi Goten, are you done all ready?"
"Not yet. How did you do what you did?" Goten questioned Katrina through the wall. She looked at him with a thoughtful look.
"I kind of figured it out before I got into that fight. I mean that I was able to sense what was going to happen before it does. When I my mom did that thing that was one if the abilities she was talking about, but I did know how to some what when I was at the look out. Reyna came by now and told me some more things," she replied. When she looked backed up at Goten, he looked surprised yet he knew that it wasn't that strange.
"Oh, well thanks for that heads up. I knew that he was going to try something like that but didn't sense that ki he was powering up."
"I know. He just thought of it as I was 'telling' you."
"Hey Goten, what's going on?" Trunks came flying in behind Goten and startling him. "How did you know what I was planing to do. Can you read minds and not tell me?"
"No, it wasn't me-"
"It was me. I had 'learned' how to read minds," Katrina interrupted Goten.
"But, how, when?"
"Here, I think this will help." She waved her hand in front of Trunks' face. He looked at her funny, and then he nodded his head in agreement.
"Oh, that's how you learned?"
"What did you do?"
"Nothing, I just told him with out actually telling him. Well, are you going to continue to fight to not?" Katrina looked at the to with well look on her face. Trunks looked at Goten then at Katrina.
"I don't care," he final said. "Let me turn of the wall and gravity." He started to push some buttons near the invisible wall. The hum had stopped.
"Hey, Kat, here is the water you wanted," a voice said coming through the wall of the room. When the voice had taken a form, it realized that Goten and Trunks as there. "Oh, hi Trunks and Goten. Nice to see you, again. Trunks, I'm sorry that I went into you frige with out asking but, Kat wanted some water, and since Kat knew you I figured you wouldn't mind." She handed Katrina the water.
"Um, that's okay with me. You can help yourself to any thing in the house."
"Thanks," said Reyna and Katrina.
"Reyna, go tell mom, that I'm learning a lot and might be late coming home. Also, go find Sara, Rori, and Jane that I'm sorry and reschedule for me."
"Sure, Bye." Reyna turned back around and went through the wall.
"Bye," Trunks and Goten said.
"Okay, Now, do you think that you can stand seven g's?" questioned Trunks pushing buttons to turn on the gravity. The room began to hum, again.
"Now, Kat, if this is to much for you, please don't feel shy to tell us to lower the gravity. Also if we go to fast let us know," Goten said looking back at Katrina. She just looked up at him and said nothing. She was to busy trying to hold herself up right, under the seven g's.
"Are you okay?" questioned Trunks. He took a hold of Katrina.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Hold on a sec. I think I am getting the hang of this." As she said that she had a light-yellow, swirling aura around her and when she was 'completed', she was able to with stand the gravity. "Ah, that's better. How about you two?" Looking over where Goten was and Trunks walked over to him.
"Man, I thought that she would have a little more trouble with this much gravity," Trunks said to Goten.
"Well, I guess not. Are we ready to get started?" Trunks and Katrina both nodded with agreement. "Okay, who would you like to spar with?"
"I don't care. How about both of you?" Goten and Trunks both looked at her with amazement.
"Something wrong?"
"Well, do you think that you can take both of us on at once?" Goten said.
"Why, you don't think that I can handle it do you?"
"No, just that you are new to this, and well…," said Goten.
"Oh, you're in for it, now. I'll show you what I can do." She began to warm up and she took off her jacket and boots; she also put her hair in a messy ponytail.
"If you say so," Trunks replied. Goten and Trunks looked at Katrina warming up. "Man, she's not that bad."
"Yeah, I know," Goten whispered. "Hey, wait a second Kat, are you going to use your abilities on us?"
"I'm not going to say you would just have to find out on your own," snickered Katrina in her fighting stands.
"Is she for real?" questioned Trunks getting in his fighting stands.
"I don't know, but it is sure going to be interesting," replied Goten, who also got into his fighting stands.
"Well, if your ready, I'll like to start," Katrina said darting toward Trunks with incredible speed, that she caught Trunks off guard. Goten saw her coming and jumped out of the way leaving Trunks behind. As he looked back to where he was, he saw Katrina coming for him instead.
"I knew you were going to do that," she snickered kicking him in the chest.
"Why you little…"
"Little, what? Come on, you can say it," she teased.
"You know what I was going you say." Goten knew that he shouldn't have said or thought of what he did, because Katrina got this evil look on her face like some one smacked her in the face. "Ah-oh." He started to step back.
"Your in for it, now," Trunks said getting out of the way.
"Oh, thanks, I liked that boost of confidence, from you." Goten looked at Katrina with confidence in his eyes. She lunged at him with full speed.
"If you what to play like that, then I can deal with that." And he began to power up and knocking Katrina to the ground.
I knew that he had a lot of power hidden… but I never imagine this much, I better be careful. Goten had transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Um, Goten, do you think that you should be doing that, now?" questioned Trunks. He was sitting on the sideline watching the fight. While Goten and Katrina were fighting, Trunks decided to see how much Katrina could handle, so he set the gravity room to increase the gravity by two every five minutes.
"I think that she can handle it. Any ways, if she can't I can always stop. Also, she can read minds, right, I'm just testing how much she can read!" he said turning back to Katrina.
She was starting to get up, and rubbed her head. Katrina looked at Goten in ah, then let out a small snicker. Reyna was right, he is kind of cute, but even cuter, now, Katrina thought.
"You just think that if you power up that you would be able to beat me? You should think again, buddy."
Katrina powered up, too. Goten flew toward Katrina throwing a punch at heart her. Katrina blocked it but the next one hit its target, so did a couple more. Katrina knew which one was going to hit where, and prepared for the impact. She didn't fight back as much because she was trying to figure out his strategy, from this fight and the one with him fighting Trunks. She did block some of the attack.
"I wonder if cats really land on their feet? What do you think, Kat?" Goten questioned. Goten swung her to the ground but before she hit the ground she their feet," joked Goten dodging her glare.
"Ha, ha, very funny Goten," Katrina snickered. Flipped over to her feet and landed, with a loud thump… but the gravity just changed causing her to fall to her hands and knees. Taking a quick, deep breath, she extended one foot to the side and the other one bend to her chest and her hands where on the ground in front of her to help balance. She then glared back up at the banged up boy.
"Wow! I guess they really do land on their feet!" Goten said trying to hide from Katrina's glare.
As the two fought, Katrina was gradually getting slower, but not by that much. She noticed that something was different, but didn't pay that much notice to it.
This went on for about a half an hour. Trunks wasn't trying to enter the fight because he was having to much fun watching the two fight and bicker. He was also impressed with Katrina, because the gravity was about nineteen-g's more than normal, and she was keeping up pretty well. So, Trunks deiced to change the gravity to increase by five every two minutes. When he was done, the room was humming a little bit louder, but you couldn't tell that much, do to the fact that there was a fight going on.
Goten flew in the air above Katrina, and threw a ki at her. Katrina looked up and jumped out of the away, but the gravity just increased, and as she jumped her leg got caught in the blast. Causing a pain to shoot up the side of her body. Katrina let out a slight scream. She whipped around to check her leg and found that it was gone.
"Hold up, Goten, I think that Katrina is hurt really bad."
"No, I'm fine. Just let me fix my leg." Goten looked at where her led was and just saw a green stub.
"Oh, Kat, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you that much," Goten said as he tried to help the stunned girl up. He noticed her scrunching her face, like she was getting a shot.
"What are you doing?"
"Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate on my leg," she said through her teeth. He looked at her leg and it began to grow.
"I should have known that you could do that," Trunks said looking over her leg.
"Why do you say that," Katrina said.
"Well, because Namek's are able to heal any limbs that are cut off, just as long as their head is still in tack," he replied.
"Um, not to sound so picky but I really am tired of fighting. Do you think that we can go to Master Rochi's with our parents?" Goten said.
"Sure, why not. I'm kind of tired too. Two fights in one day is a little too much," Katrina replied. The three left, making sure that the gravity room is turned off and Katrina powered down. "Man, outside I feel so light compared to the gravity room."
"Yeah, but you'll get used to it," Goten said letting Katrina in.
