(Author's note: Okay this is the chapter where One is now Rina, and after I'm back at my other comp. I will make the changes in the rest of the chapters. *Rina 'talking' to Katrina and vise-versa*, Katrina has long hair and Rina has short hair. When ever Rina takes over hair turns short and vise-versa when Katrina takes over. 17 and the first half of 18 are happening at the same time just in different places, then 19 is where you left off at the end of 17 and 20 is at the same time as the second half of 18.)
Chapter 17: Finding Darius
The four young teens reached Katrina's house and was able to set the device to have them 'land' on the planet Humaik.
"Kat, I really want you to ask for help if you need it. I don't want you to act all valiant when you're fighting Darius," Goten said lightly grabbing her arm and spinning her around. He looked at her with considerate eyes.
*I told you, he loved you.*
"Shh…" whispered Katrina.
"What?!"
"Oh, nothing."
"Okay, so do we have a deal?" questioned Goten.
"Sure, I promise to ask for help when I need it," Katrina said. She gave him a hug. She looked at him through the watery tears that were forming.
"Umm… sorry, to interrupt this moment, but don't you think that it's time for us to go?" questioned Reyna holding up the device.
"Yeah, I agree," added Trunks. When Katrina looked over to him, she jumped back a little. He looked like Vegeta; standing in the doorway with is arms cross.
"You're right, we should be heading there, now," Goten said walking toward the door, he turned around when he noticed that Katrina wasn't coming. "Katrina, you coming?"
She said nothing. She just stood starring at that floor.
*Kat, come on, I know you don't want anyone to get hurt, but if they didn't want to help, they would have said 'no.' Now, we have to go.* Katrina glanced over to Goten then Trunks and then Reyna.
*I guess you're right. I just don't want to harm them, if Darius uses that stupid chip. This time he might have a stronger control.*
"Kat? Are you there?" Katrina jumped out of her thoughtful trance.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I was just thinking how we can defeat Darius," she said. "Well, are we ready to kick his butt?" She walked to the door and set the device on her wrist. "Everyone, hang on." She pressed the last button. Then lights flew passed them. The light show lasted only for five minutes.
They reappeared in a cold, dingy, old room. There were cobwebs in the corners and thin strains connecting the lamps to the walls, and there was a thick layer of dust on everything. Even on the cobwebs themselves. There was some sign that someone was there not to long ago, but that was the only sign of life.
"Katrina, where did you send us?" Reyna questioned running her finger over the layer of dust that settled on the table.
"This is where mom used to live. I figured that this place would be better to land."
"Hey, when we are done, I think that you should show that thing to Bulma she'll love to see that," Goten said checking the device out.
"Yeah, okay, I will," replied Katrina.
"Ahh…she's here. Good that helps. Now, I don't have to go down there and finish her off myself. She is on my turf now."
"Sir, what would you like me to do?" Darius stood silent for a moment, before turning and facing Vesta. "I can take care of them for you."
"NO, I want her to take care of them for me. Then I want to take care of her myself," roared Darius.
"But sir, I…"
"I don't want to hear it. You will get your chance, don't worry," interrupted Darius.
"Yes, sir," Vesta defeatedly said bowing.
The gravity of the planet didn't seem to effect the group, when they came to their senses.
"Katrina, where is Darius' place?" Trunks asked looking out the window.
"It's just over those mountains. It will take only about ten minutes to get over there."
"Well, then, let's go," Reyna said.
"Wait, shouldn't we have a better plan, before we head out?" inquired Goten.
"Yeah, but I thought we figured that out all ready," replied Katrina.
"We did, but do you really think that Rina would be able to take control over you when Darius turns on that chip?"
"Hey, I resent that. I'm more powerful than you think," Rina said behind Goten. He turned around and jumped when he saw her. He then looked back and saw Katrina.
"Rina?" shivered Katrina.
"That's me, in the flesh. Okay, not in the flesh, but It's me."
"But how? I thought you and me joined back together."
"You know that little trick I showed you? Where I can make a hologram of myself, well, that's how I'm here now. I'm a hologram."
"Oh, okay. Since you're a hologram, now, we have another fighter," explained Goten.
"Yeap," said Rina. Then she disappeared.
"If Rina can make a hologram, how can she protect us from you if the chip has been activated?"
"Good question," thoughtfully said Katrina, "if it's been activated, she could go back and then take over, or I could have a hologram and she take over my body, so when it's activated we wouldn't be effected. At lease I think."
"You know, what?" Trunks asked, "that sounds a lot better than the other plan that we had."
"Yeah, Trunks' right," agreed Reyna.
"Now, that we have a new plan, let's go," Katrina said.
"Hold on, I have another question…doesn't the chip block Katrina's power?"
"Yes?!"
"Then how can you have a hologram?"
"I can answer that question." Katrina's hair turned short. "You see the chip was implanted after I was made, so I had that power. When we joined she learned it, with the chip. It wasn't designed to block the powers I have. It was designed to block her powers," Rina explained.
"Oh…" Goten replied. Then her hair was back to its long, flowing self.
*Goten, asked a lot of questions, doesn't he?* Katrina let out a small giggle and looked at Goten with thoughtful eyes.
*Yeah, I guess you're right. At least he doesn't asked before something happens.*
"Okay, Goten, do you have any more questions, or can we go?" questioned Reyna jokingly. Goten gave her a quick evil glance.
"Yes, that's all. Now we can finally go."
"Are you sure, or do we have to explain the plan at all for you?" Trunks said sarcastically to Goten.
"No, I know it."
The four of them set out to finally help Katrina get rid of the evil that is after her. Ten minutes later, they reached the place where Darius was.
"Reyna, do you think that you can peek inside to see where the guards are?" questioned Trunks.
"Sure, I'll be back in a minute," she replied cheerfully and giving a wink. Reyna then walked through the wall. Then came back. "There is about ten guards walking around in the halls." She quickly explained where the guards where located. "And we should get in now, before the two outside come around the corners." She grabbed Katrina's hand and Goten and Trunks held onto Katrina's other arm and went through the wall again. Once through the wall, Reyna pulled everyone behind a cart. "Wait for a second. Another guard is coming," Reyna whispered to the three.
"Now, where is Darius?" Goten asked.
"I know," a voice responded causing everyone to jump.
"Rina, don't do that," Goten said turning around and noticed that it was not Rina but Katrina. "Oh, sorry Katrina."
"What?!"
"Sneaking up on us," Trunks said.
"He, he sorry," Katrina said.
"He's in the middle of the building," Rina said in a monotone voice.
"Then how do we get there?" Goten asked.
"Follow us. Katrina and I know how to get there," Rina said checking to make sure that the coast was clear before leaving the hiding spot. Katrina followed close behind. Not wanting to be left behind, Goten, Trunks, and Reyna ran after the two. Katrina and Rina stopped at the corner.
"Hey… what's wrong with you two?"
Goten walked passed the two, before he totally turned the corner, something stopped him.
"Goten, wait. There is something definitely wrong in there," said Katrina. Goten could tell that whatever that it was, it made the two girls scared.
"He knows that we are here, and he is prepared for us. I think that the chip had a tracking device or something, because I don't know how he could find out about us coming here."
"Well, I don't think just standing here is going to help," Trunks said.
"Yeah, you're right," Katrina said.
So, they continued around the corner and through the door that Darius should be in. The room was dark and cold. The only light that can be seen was from the window and the light from the hallway.
Upon entering, Katrina looked back at her three friends, with sad but confident gaze, and walked through followed by Rina. Their eyes had to adjust to the little light that was present. When the other three tried to enter, something was blocking them. They couldn't move pass the entranceway.
"Hey, talk about me standing still, look at you three," Katrina said pulling Goten's arm and finding it useless.
"Just as I thought… Darius knew that we were going to bring everyone. So, he made it so that they couldn't interfere," Rina inquired.
"Well, then we will just have to find away to bring it down."
Katrina's hair fell in her face. She lightly blew it away. She then tried to blast through the barrier. All that happened was that not that the barrier was not knocked down, the blast went right through it. Catching everyone on the outside off guard. Darius was standing in the shadows of the room, trying not to burst out laughing, seeing Katrina trying to knock down the wall, and it will just go right through.
Having enough, Katrina decided that she would try and lure Darius out of the room. She looked around the area to find Rina. Rina was no where to be found. Looking back at the three friends, she figured that they would have seen her, but they just looked confused.
"Rina? Rina?" whispered Katrina, "where are you?" Darius emerged from the shadow. Rina was captured in his arms trying to kick away. "Darius, let Rina go, NOW," growled Katrina. Rina was able to free her head to talk.
"Katrina, I'm fine. I was trying to find the machine that was controlling the barrier…" Rina struggled to say. "You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"Don't you dare think that I am just going to watch you have all of the fun," a voice said appearing in the corner. "I'm not going to wait for your to finish everyone off by yourself. I want to defeat one of these pests, too."
Katrina noticed that the voice came from Vesta. The look of her eyes turned an evil shade of crimson. Katrina never saw Vesta this angry before.
"Vesta, I told you that you will get your turn. For now, let me handle this," Darius said.
"Vesta? Why? I thought that you were my friend," Katrina cried. "Why are you on his side?" Tears formed in her eyes.
Everything was getting to complicated for her to understand. First was meeting this guy named Darius, who wanted to marry her and have her destroy the world; The next was that she found out that she wasn't human but a Humaikian and a Nameckian; Next, she found out that her mother lied to her; Another thing was that Darius was planing to have her kill the people that she loves; Another thing was that stupid chip; And the last thing was that Vesta, her baby-sitter and friend, was on Darius' side.
"Do you want to know why?…Well, I'll tell you. I was always on Darius' side. I was never your friend. I joined his side, because I needed to have someone help me take over the world," explained Vesta.
Her eyes were flaming red.
Katrina could sense that the atmosphere had changed. It was bitter and cold. A slight chill trickled up Darius' spine. Rina had felt that his grip was getting looser as he argued with Vesta. This was her time to get away. She slipped through this grip with out his knowledge. Vesta and Darius argued as Katrina and everyone watched in confusion.
"Hey, Rina?!" called Trunks.
"Yeah," she replied walking toward the door.
"Did you find that machine?"
"Yeah, it's across the room." She pointed into the darkness toward the machine.
"Well, since those two are fighting over who is going to fight, why don't you go over and turn it off, so Goten, Reyna, and I can help."
"Good idea," Rina said. She walked over to the machine and pushed a bunch of buttons before she turned toward the door and nodded her head. "Okay it should be off."
Darius turned his attention to Rina, and was trying to figure out when she escaped. Vesta turned to Darius with a 'how could you' glare.
"If I was in control of this plan this would have never have happened," Vesta yelled.
"Well, you're not and if you…"
"Umm…I not trying to interfere with anything, but can we please get on with this, please? I want you out of my LIFE," Katrina said.
"Why you little…." Darius lunged at Katrina.
(Authors note: ~Talking telepathically~ (…said…))
Chapter 18: Searching Back on Earth
"SARA, watch out," yelled Rori. Sara took a step back before turning around and checking where she was stepping. She let out a yell before Nefara quickly flew to catch her seconds, before she would have hit the bottom.
"Gotcha," reassured Nefara.
"Hey, thanks Nefara. I would have been a goner if you hadn't came," Sara said catching her breath.
"Ah, it was no prob. I'm happy to help out," Nefara said. "I think that here is another Dragonball about two miles away," she then announced pointing in the direction where the radar was beeping.
"Cool. That would be our third one, right?" questioned Jane.
"Yeah," replied Nefara.
"Let's go and get it," Rori cheerfully said. She walked in the direction that Nefara pointed.
"Um…Rori…I think that it would be easier if we took the plane," Jane said.
"Yeah, your right. Let's go, all ready. Katrina is going to need the help, as soon as we can find the Dragonballs," Rori said trying to cover up her error. The team set out, in the plane, to find the third Dragonball.
In about three hours, the teams found all seven of the Dragonballs and where ready to make the wishes.
"Do you think that we should make the wishes now, or should we wait and ask Katrina if they are ready?" asked Jane. Rori looked at her with 'what? Where have you been' glare.
"No, I think that we should wait until Katrina dies before we make the wish. Come on Jane, what have you been smoking? Katrina wanted us to make the wishes as soon as we found them," Rori said sarcastically.
"Oh, yeah!?" Jane said covering up her mistake.
"I think that we should split up and find the Dragonballs on our own," Nefara said. The girls looked at her funny. "Don't worry about getting hurt I'll be able to hear your calls, when you need help. I'll come to help you out. So, you guys don't have to be scared about getting hurt." The girls looked at each other then nodded to Nefara. "Cool! Okay, I'll give each of you a capsule and a location." Nefara took out her capsules and let the girls picked out which one they wanted. "When you find the Dragonballs call me or we will all go back to my house."
Jane picked the aircycle, Rori picked the car, Sara picked the boat, while Nefara flew but took the airplane just in case. Nefara then gave them the directions 'their' Dragonball. When each girl knew their own direction, they went on their way.
"I hope that I am still as strong as I was when I was younger, and that I can help the girls when they are in trouble. Oh, Katrina, I wish that you don't get yourself killed. I wouldn't be able to bring you back. Why didn't I kill Darius when I was able to?" Nefara was sitting on a rock, looking at the sky. Her eyes were being to blur her vision. "What am I doing I shouldn't talk like that I have to help my daughter." She stood up and checked the radar. "Ah, there it is." She wiped the puddles of water that build up in her eyes as she checked the direction in which the radar located the ball. Then she took off.
"Why is it that I always get stuck with the hard ones to find?" Rori asked out loud. "Sure… the ball had to be down a canon." She began to look around for something to help her repel down the side. She looked inside the trunk and pulled out some rope. "I knew Nefara was always prepared for anything."
She tied the rope to a boulder and started to repel down. She was half way down to the Dragonball, when she turned to check her progress she heard the shuttle sound of something unraveling.
"Oh, no. Please tell me that, that was my shirt or something." She looked up and noticed the rope was starting to become weaker, and the rocks were beginning to cut the rope. "Oh, great… if only I can fly. I guess I have to call Nefara." ~Umm…Nefara, I don't mean to interrupt you but I have a little situation here. Can you come and help me?~
~Okay, I'll be right there. What's wrong?~
~Well, not to scare you, but I'm dangling over a cliff and my rope is um…being cut by the rocks.~
~Be there in a flash,~ Nefara said. Nefara stopped and turned around to help Rori.
~Okay, I'll just be hanging around!~ joked Rori. For something inside of her made her not scared, she was calm. Her arms were giving, but she held on. It seemed like she was hanging for hours before Nefara came and pulled her up.
"Are you okay, Rori?"
Rori rubbed her arms trying to ease the throbbing pain that ran up her arms. "Man, you think with Marshal Art that my arms wouldn't hurt this much. Just from hanging on for… what was it? Ten minutes."
"That doesn't mean any thing since you're still we…" Before Nefara had the time to finish the word Rori interrupted angrily.
"Don't even say it. You're starting to act like Kat."
"You did set yourself up for that. And Ahhh… That's mean, I don't act like Katrina," said Nefara bring her hands to her hip. Rori looked at her like yeah, right.
"You're right that was mean. That would be a major insult to Katrina."
"Okay, you are in for it. Do you want me to place you back where you were?" An evil grin began to dance across Nefara's face as she flew toward the snickering girl, who turned shocked, as she saw Nefara turn evil. Nefara then picked her up and began to fly her to the edge of the cliff.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Nefara please just put me down. I know that you're not going to drop me, but please can you put me down. You know that I was just joking around." Nefara looked down at the scared girl with a smile that started to erase the grin.
"Come on, Rori, you know that I was just kidding too," Nefara joked. She placed Rori back on the ground with a soft thud.
"Yeah, I knew that," Rori replied. "Um… don't you think that we should go grab the Dragonball? So that we can get back to your house and meet the other girls."
"I think that we should," agreed Nefara. She had to restrain herself from making fun of Rori again. She looked down the cliff and judged how far it was. Then jumped down and grabbed it.
Else where…
Jane was driving along for almost two hours, when she reached the place where she was told to go to.
The place was in the middle of a forest. The atmosphere was damp, and the ground was soft under her feet.
"Great, I had to get stuck in a damp place. It's going to take me forever to fix my hair from this all of this dampness. Okay, now where is that Dragonball?" She looked around and came up empty handed. "Oh, come on, just my luck I have to have the hardest one to find. Don't I?" she said to herself.
Should I call Nefara, or should I stay here for hours trying to find it on my own? Naw, if the other girls know that I couldn't find it on my own I will never live it down, she thought to herself. She walked around looking through the forest.
"I wonder if any of the other girls are having as much fun as I am." She spotted something shining in the treetops up above. "Sure, it had to be up in a tree. Didn't it?"
Jane placed her hair in a messy ponytail and began to look of a way to climb the tree. She started her climb, branch to branch, to the top of the tree.
"I hope that everyone appreciates what I do. Kat, do you hear me? I really hope you understand what I…sorry we are doing for you. Thank goodness I work out," Jane said searching for a close branch and finding none. Instead, she had to climb it another way. By using the daggers, that she some times likes to carry around with her. She reached the Dragonball and descended the tree.
"Man, I love these things," she said kissing her daggers and sheathing them back in their scabbard, at was on the sides of her legs. "Now, to inform Nefara that I am on my way back to the meeting place."
~Yo, Nefara.~
~Yes, is anything the matter?~
~Nope, everything is fine. Just letting you know that I am on my way to your house. I have found the Dragonball.~
~Okay, Rori and I are all ready here. We are just waiting for Sara.~
Jane jumped on the bike and drove away.
Somewhere, out at sea…
A girl was turning off the engine to her boat and was looking around.
"Why does the Dragonball that I have to look for is, in the middle of now where, and in the ocean?… Okay, now to look for a sub." Sara searched the boat for a sub capsule, but came up empty handed. "Please, tell me that I don't have to swim?" Sara took her shirt and shorts off and placed them neatly on the seat, next to her. (Don't worry, she is wearing her bra and underwear.) "You know what Katrina? I really hope that you're having more fun than I am," Sara said diving in.
I'm glad I take swimming, Sara thought. She swam around searching for an hour, coming up for a breath or to check where the boat was, just every so often. She finally found the Dragonball under some seaweed. She then swam up to the boat and jumped inside.
"Maybe before I jumped in the water I should have checked to make sure that there was a towel." Sara rang out her hair. She started the boat and headed back to land.
~Hey, Nefara?!~
~Yes, Sara. Is there something the matter?~ Nefara asked looking at Rori worried.
"What's wrong? Was that Sara?"
"Yeah."
"Is she all right?"
~No, I found the Dragonball, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind bringing me a towel?~
~Okay, I will bring it to you now.~ "No, she's find she just want's me to bring her a towel."
"Okay, where is she?"
~Nefara, are you there?~ asked Sara.
~Yeah, I'm here. Where do you want me to bring the towel?~
~I'll meet you at the beach.~
~Okay, see you there.~ "I'm meeting her at the beach."
"I'll come," Rori said reaching for her jacket.
"No, that's okay. You should stay and wait for Jane. She should be back any time now."
Rori nodded and placed her jacket back from where she got it. Nefara left, with towel at hand, and headed to where Sara said she would meet.
Nefara had to wait for only twenty minutes, before she saw Sara pull up to the shore. Jane's hair was matted to her head, with a few strains that were dried and blew back from the wind. Her hair on her arms was standing on end, and she was covered in goose bumps.
"Sara, you're shaking. Here is the towel you should dry off." Sara took the towel and dried off. "Why did you put on your cloths?"
Sara looked at her and said, "Like I know… I didn't want have my cloths get wet, and if I got my cloths wet I would be even colder." She tried to look intelligent. When she was all dried off, she put her cloths on.
"Okay, ready?" Nefara asked turning the boat back into a capsule.
The two then headed to Nefara's house. It wasn't more than fifteen minutes, when the two reached the house. Inside the house, Jane was laughing on the couch, with Nike on her lap, and Rori looking at her with a glare.
"What are you laughing about?" asked Sara pluming in a chair and letting out a sigh.
"Oh, hi. Rori was just telling me how she had to be rescued, and that she had to beg for forgiveness," Jane replied looking at Rori and trying to hold back the laughter.
"What happened? Did she get a hangnail, and she was telling Nefara sorry for calling her?" questioned Sara jokingly.
"No, she had to climb down a cliff, and the rope was ripping, so she called Nefara. When she came, Rori had to make fun of Nefara, and she almost dropped her down the cliff again, but we both know that Nefara would never put us into danger. Rori fell for it and was about to cry." Sara started to laugh with Jane.
"Laugh it up you two. It wasn't very funny. I could have died," Rori said.
"That's not why we are laughing…," Sara started.
"We're laughing, because you had the guts to make fun of Nefara, and you thought that she was really going to drop you," Jane finished.
"Girls, it's not Rori's fault that she couldn't take a joke," said Nefara.
"Okay, we all had our time of laughing at me, so can we call the Dragon?"
"Yeah, okay. Did everyone find their Dragonball?" asked Nefara. The girls showed her their findings. "Good, let's get calling." The girls and Nike followed Nefara out the back door. They each placed the balls in a circle on the lawn.
"Nefara, do you know how to this works?"
"Yeah, on Humaik, we had our own version of the Dragonballs. I had to use them before. It should be a piece of cake." Nefara began the summoning with the girls standing behind her.
The sky turned dark, and the wind started to pick up. Nike hid behind the girls, scared. The Dragonballs had begun to glow, and a snake like light made its way to the sky, twisting and turning this way and that. The light became a Dragon. The sight of the event amazed the girls.
"Why have you waken me?" roared the Dragon.
"We would like to finish the two wishes that we have," announced Nefara.
"Okay, I don't have all day," replied the Dragon.
"My wish is can you take make Darius mortal, again?"
The Dragons eyes glowed.
"Your wish is granted. What is your last wish?"
"Can you take the chip out of Katrina's head with out killing her?"
The Dragons eyes glowed again, and the Dragon announced, "Your wish is granted." The Dragon turned back into light, and wounded its way back to the Dragonballs. Then the Dragonballs shot into the air and flew in separate directions. The sky turned to normal, and the wind died down.
"Wow, that was weird," Rori said.
"Yeah, how do we know that it worked?" asked Sara.
"I guess we have to hope and wait," replied Nefara. "But for now, we should go inside and have something to eat."
"Is that all? Are we just going to sit around wondering and eating, while Katrina, Reyna, Trunks and Goten are fighting this Darius guy? Well you guys can I am going to find away to Humaik and help out," announced Jane. She reached for her daggers, and was walking away. "Are you two coming?" Sara looked at Rori for an okay. Rori looked back and nodded in agreement. Then the two followed Jane.
"Wait, Jane," called Nefara. Jane turned around with Sara and Rori standing stunned.
"What?"
"You are not going to be able to reach them in time. Humaik is way to far for you to travel," explained Nefara, but Jane didn't want to hear it, and she walked away. "Jane, please. Just listen to me. I know that you girls want to help, so do I, but you have to listen to me," pleaded Nefara. A tear rolled down her check leaving a pale trail.
"Come on, Jane. I think that we should listen to Nefara. She does know what she is talking about," said Sara changing her mind about going with Jane.
"Yeah, just drop your attitude and listen to what Nefara is trying to say," agreed Rori.
"You're always the one to suck up," Jane snapped. Rori turned around surprised.
"Hey, what has gotten into you? You are acting very snappy today," Rori said. Jane didn't know what she was saying. She wanted to help Katrina, but she didn't want to wait around doing nothing. All that she could do was to look at the ground in front of Nefara with anger and thought glare.
"Sorry…okay, what should we do?" she finally asked. Nefara looked at Jane with a thankful gaze.
"Well, I know one way to get to Humaik, but I don't have one," Nefara replied.
"Great, so, now what can we do?" asked Jane impatiently.
The air was cool and damp as the group pondered about their transportation.
"Well, I do know how to make one… if only I have the right tools," Nefara finally said breaking the silence.
"Tools? That's what you need?… Well, why don't we ask Bulma? She'll let us use her lab," Sara said. Nefara looked over to her with a gleam.
"Let's go," she said. She began to head to Capsule Corp. "Nike, come here girl. You can come too," she added. Nike and the girls followed her to Bulma's. Which of course is just around the corner.
Bulma was outside putting clothes on the clothesline. The girls walked up to Bulma, scaring her half to death.
"Hi, Bulma," Nefara said. Bulma turned around.
"Oh, hi Nefara. How are you doing?" asked Bulma.
"Well, I, we, were wondering if you would mind if we can use your lab? I was going to make a devise to transport us to Humaik."
"Oh, go ahead."
"You seem pretty calm," said Jane.
"Why shouldn't I be?" questioned Bulma.
"Well, your son is fighting on another planet, and who knows what is going to happen," explained Jane.
"Hun, when you have my boy as your son, you will eventually get use to him running off fighting and not coming back for days or hours. Now if you asked Chi-chi, she would probably be worried."
"Why?" asked Sara entering the conversation.
"Well, I don't know. Chi-chi has always been like that. I wouldn't blame her. Her husband had died three times and I always disappearing, Gohan got married and had a kid, and Goten is just like Trunks, always off on an adventure."
"Oh, okay. Just wondering," Jane said hesitantly.
"Bulma?! Would you mind if Nike comes inside?" asked Nefara. Bulma looked at Nike with caring eyes.
"Why wouldn't I? You are welcome any time," she said to the little puppy. "Okay, so you need to use my lab. Well, come inside. I'll show you where it is." She gathered the remaining clothes and headed in. Nefara and the girls, and Nike followed.
Vegeta was inside watching TV with Bra on his lap. He glanced at the arrivals.
"What are they doing here?" he roared.
"Vegeta, calm yourself. They just came over to use the lab. Just go back to your TV," Bulma snapped. Vegeta slumped back into his seat. Bra laid laughing with her head on her fathers lap. Bulma turned her attention back to her guests. "Don't mind him of course. The lab is just down the hall…By the way, Nefara?!" Bulma looked back at Nefara. "Did you call on the Dragon?"
"Hee, he! I guess you saw the sky," Nefara said rubbing her head.
"Yeah, but don't worry about it. Everyone probably saw it, but they all probably think that it was from here." Jane watched, as Bulma didn't even have a tear or a stain from one.
"Bulma?!" asked Jane. Bulma turned her head.
"Yes," she replied.
"I was just wondering why you are acting like your son is not even in danger? Aren't you even a tad bit worried?" Bulma shook her head.
"To tell you the truth. I am kind of use to him and Vegeta getting into danger, but if you want to talk about being mad. You should see Chi-chi. One would think that she would be used to it by now, but whenever Goku, Goten or Gohan leaves the house, she worries. I don't blame her though." Bulma thought about the all of the times that the boys got into trouble. "Those boys are always into trouble or leaving and not coming back for days." Bulma let out a small snicker. The girls were still confused. "Oh, come on. Of course, I am worried, but the boys know that if they don't comeback they are going to have to answer to Chi-chi and me."
"Yeah, even Kakarott and I am afraid of messing with those two," Vegeta added. Bulma ignored to him after giving him an evil glance.
"Any ways, the lab is just down the hall to your left," Bulma said walking down the hallway. The girls, Nefara, and Nike followed Bulma into the lab. "Here you go. You can use any thing that you want. I would love to help out right now, but I have to go, and do a couple of course." Bulma left them to do with what they please.
Nefara walked around the lab, grabbing this and that, and then placing them at the table that was in the middle of the room.
"Okay, this should do it. With the amount of time what we have and the material, I can only make one. We can use it still," Nefara announced. She told the girls what she would like them to do. She then transformed into her true form.
The girls had taken a step back from the power. They weren't scared of her transformation but kind of excited. They haven't seen Katrina transform, but they knew that she could and that her mother could, too. They started to help Nefara out.
Nike, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to what was going on in the room at the time and left the room. She wondered back into the living room.
"What is that?" jumped Vegeta. "That is incredible power."
"Oh…that's just…Nefara. …She just… transformed…," said Bra in between yawns. She began to place her head back down, when she spotted Nike walking up to her. "Hi, puppy," she said in a cute voice, "come here." She sat up and picked up Nike and placed her on her lap. Nike accepted her invitation and laded on her lap, then falling asleep.
Back inside the lab…
Nefara and the girls were working hard putting weird items together. The girls had no clue what they were doing, just that they can trust Nefara in her work.
In only an hour, the team was done with their work, and ready to test it out.
"Okay, girls thanks for helping me out. Now, are you guys ready to test this thing out?" She finished the last little tinkering on their 'transporter'.
"So, how does it work?" questioned Jane inspecting the gadget.
"Well… if I made it correctly it should send us to Humaik in no time." Nefara place the gadget to her wrist. "I'll be right back. I'm going to test this thing out." Before she began to press the buttons, transform back into her human form.
"What would happen if this doesn't work?" Rori asked with some concern. Nefara looked at her like 'are you kidding me.'
"Well, I am not thinking about that now. If it doesn't work, then we are just going to fix it," she said with confidence. She pressed the final button, and in a matter of seconds, she had disappeared.
In about ten minutes, Nefara had reappeared in front of the anxious and worried group, with Nike in her arms.
"Well?! Did it work?"
"Yeah?! Where did you go?"
"Are you okay?" All of the girls bombarded Nefara with questions.
"Girls, girls… I'm back aren't I?" she questioned sarcastically. "It works. It is off just by a few degrees, but I made it to where I wanted to go." She let Nike jump out of her hands and run back into the living room. She then took off the gadget and opened the backing.
Bulma popped her head. "Hey, sorry that I took so long. I had a lot more chores then I thought, I had." She spotted the device that Nefara was working on. "Is that what you were working on?" she asked.
"Yeah," Rori said.
"So… what is it?"
"It is a transportation device." Nefara looked at Bulma, who was looking confused. "What it does it, let who ever wears it or hold on to it, be transported intently to the place that they set the dials to." Nefara place the backing back on. She looked back up to the anxious scientist, knowing that she wants to get her hands on it and investigate it. "You can have it when we are done with it." Bulma looked at her shocked.
"Are you serious?"
Nefara had a small smile dance across her lips. "Yeah, I all ready have one that I made. Katrina is using it. This one is not quite as good as the other one, but it's just as good."
"Thanks…So have you finished it?"
"Yeah, Nefara all ready tested it, and found out that it was off by a few degrees and is trying to fix the problem now," said Jane sitting on one of the counters and twirling her daggers.
"You made this in under an hour?" Nefara looked at her with 'yeah' look.
"Like I said I made one of these again." Nefara place the gadget on her wrist. "Are you three ready to go?" Jane jumped down from the counter and place her daggers back in their scabbard. Sara and Rori walked over from where they were watching.
"Where are we going to end up?" asked Sara.
"Hopefully in my old house. That is if I tweaked it right." She let out a slight chuckle. "Okay Bulma, I think that you should stand back. Girls, hang on to my arms or each other." The girls followed as Nefara set the device. "Oh, by the way, Bulma, do you think that you can watch Nike for me?" Bulma nodded her head.
Nefara pressed the last few buttons and held on to the girls. Lights flew passed the girls and Nefara, as they traveled to their destination, Humaik.
