Chapter Two: Followed

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z.

Pan darted from building to building, and poked her head out. Kyler was dressed as usual, black shirt, pants, boots, coat, gloves and glasses. It was like this character wanted to be seen as a loner, someone who no one wanted to talk to. That's what intrigued her. She followed him to an apartment building, where he went inside. A few minutes later he came out, minus his duffel bag. She followed him all the way out of the city. There, he broke in to an extremely fast run. He ran across old roads, and came to a forested mountain foot. He selected a path, and followed it. It twisted and turned, split and joined with others. Shortly Pan had lost all sense of where she was. He came to a large, old tree, and turned off the trail. He went in the forest for some time, until he came to a clearing. It had a large pond in it fed by a waterfall that rushed over the rocks in the mountainside. He walked up beside the waterfall while Pan hid in the bushes. When he reached the waterfall, he stopped.
"Why have you followed me?" He asked and turned around. Pan immediately felt embarrassed as she emerged from cover.
"Uh, sorry. I didn't know you knew I was here."
"You still haven't answered my question."
"Well I, see I, I was just a bit curios. I wanted to know about you. I wanted to know why you stay away from everyone."
"You know what they say about curiosity. Well, since you're here, you might as well come in."
Pan was just about to say, "in where," when he walked right through the waterfall. Shocked, and even more curios, she followed. After being soaked by the falls, she found herself in a well-lit and furnished cave. "Wow. This is, this is just amazing. I've never seen anything like it. It's wonderful."
"I come here during all my vacations and time off. It's relaxing. And private."

Pan blushed again. "So why are you so cold? Why do you stay so far away from everybody?"
"Does it matter? I like privacy. Even keeping to myself, others find a way to intrude."
Pan blushed again. "My names Pan."
"Kyler Ishayu, but you probably know that already."
"Yeah. Hey, I have to go, but would you mind if I came back later with my friend, Bra?"
"If you must. Just don't tell anyone else about this place."
"Thank you, sir!" Pan gave a quick and low bow, turned and left. Kyler looked after her, a bit surprised at the sudden sign of respect.

"You would have to see it to believe it. It was like he lived in there." Pan said excitedly.
"So you said we could go out there tonight?" Bra asked.
"Yes," Pan said. "But I would like to wait until everyone goes to sleep."
"That shouldn't be too hard. Trunks is pooped from work, and mom and dad are, well, busy."
"Then it's settled. We go tonight."

Kyler stroked the blade slowly with an oiled cloth. He loved cleaning his swords. He had all kinds of them, European swords, a katana, Japanese swords, everything. His sword collection was huge, and it all centered around one very special attraction. It was a great-sword, but unlike any design he had ever seen. He coveted it greatly, it was the most precious of all his possessions. He had found it several years ago, and it was warm to the touch, almost like it was alive. He looked up as he heard a splashing and some sputtering. He went back into the main cave, and found that Pan had kept her promise, and come back with some blue-haired floozy, presumably Bra. To tell the truth, he had hoped that she wouldn't come back, ever. "Kind of late, isn't it?" He asked.
"We didn't want Bras' family to know. We had a really hard time finding this place."
"You weren't supposed to find it in the first place."
"Hey," Bra piped up. "Tell us about yourself. Like where did you get that fancy sword?"
He looked down at the Japanese blade. "I collect them."
"Can we see your collection?"
"Fine." He led them into the chamber that held his blades. Both the girls gasped.
"This is amazing!" Pan exclaimed. She went over to his great-sword, and he snapped at her immediately.
"Don't touch that!"
"Jeeze, sorry." Pan gave a miffed look. "My Dad has a sword. You should come over sometime and see it. I think my Dad would like you, and this collection."
"No thanks."
"Aren't you the cold one?" Bra said. "You really should come out with us sometime. I think you would like it." She put her arm on his shoulder, and he quickly slapped it away.
"Don't touch me!" he yelled.
Bra bowed her head. "Maybe we should get going." Pan and Bra walked out of the cave, and out around the pond. They were about to fly off, when they sensed a Ki surge from the cave. Kylers Ki, which was just average one moment, spiked the next. One hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and on. Finally it climaxed and ended. The two girls ran back inside, and found Kyler lying on the floor, the whole room a mess. "Lets get him back to my place," Bra said, and the lifted him into the air.

"What were you doing out there, anyway?" Vegeta asked, anger in his voice.
"We just wanted to help the guy, daddy." Bra said. "He's an introvert. He's so alone. He needs someone."
"What he needs is a drill sergeant. And I don't need you going out with strange people who have unseen Ki spikes. Do not do that again."
"Yes, father. I'm sorry." Bra left the room to go visit with Pan. Vegeta turned to his wife.
"So, what is so strange with this boy?" Vegeta asked.
"Well," Bulma answered. "For one he's too strong to be human. At least he was. His energy level has gone back down. Number two, he's not even human. Not entirely, anyway."
"What do you mean, not human?" Vegeta asked.
"I ran a full bio-scan, and got some pretty weird results. One of his parents is human, and the other is saiyan."
"How can that be? There has not been any more saiyans since I first arrived on earth."
"I know, but there must be another one out there." She said. "That's not the worst of it, though. Here, I have bio-scans of all the saiyans at there different stages. I've learned that transforming to a super saiyan changes the saiyans DNA slightly. See here, this is Gohans DNA," she brought up an image of DNA on her computer. "Normal. This is his DNA at stage one. Notice that the saiyan genes have mutated slightly. This is Gohan at level two, more changes. Then, again as Mystic. I'm no geneticist, but the genetic structure has changed significantly."
"And? I fail to see what impact this has on this situation."
"Well, Kylers DNA pattern resembles Gohans, his saiyan DNA, at least. It's as if Kyler is a mystic saiyan as well."
"That's impossible. Gohan got his mystic powers from the Ki."
"Perhaps Gohans power raising just unlocked a new type of saiyan. That's not all, though. Kylers human genes are completely whacked. I can't match them with anything. It's like he's mutated into something else." "Wake him. I'll see what I can find out in the gravity chamber. You call the others and make them aware of this, though Gohan is probably the only one who will be able to understand you." He smirked, and left. "Well, it looks like you've got a long, hard road ahead of you."

So, what did you think? Next chapter Kyler trains, and something new is discovered about him, plus a spaceship is spotted. Please review!
