Disclaimer: I do not own Tien, and I don't plan to make money off of this at all..............

Claimer: Gia is mine!!!! If you try to steal her, I'll have to kill you. You've been warned...

Gia: Okay, this is my first ever fan fiction. I hope you like it. It took forever to write. Please no putdowns. Enjoy! ^_^

It had been some time since anything new had happened. Up until now, his life actually had some sort of meaning. Now, with his best friend gone, his life was meaningless. Everything had lost its value. The three-eyed Z Fighter known as Tien sat atop the grassy hillside reflecting on his past life and the numerous events that happened during it. As a breeze blew leaves from the trees, a sigh escaped from his lips.

"It's over. Everything's gone. Nothing seems to matter anymore."

Just as he stood up and turned to leave, he sensed a disrupted chi that was weakening quickly. He turned in the direction it was coming from and concentrated on the energy flow.

"That's odd. Why did I only feel the chi now? Still, whatever it is, I'm going to find out what's going on."

With that he took off in search of whomever the disrupted chi was coming from. He soon came to a small clearing where a girl of about thirteen years of age was lying in a large puddle of blood. Lying on the ground next to her body was a M-1911 Pistol. There were numerous wounds in her body. There were two near her chest, two in her leg, and one in her right arm. He landed next to her limp unconscious body and knelt down beside the girl and picked her up.

"This doesn't look good. She's too badly injured to heal on her own. I'd better take her under my wing and nurse her back to full health."

He took off again holding her tightly in his arms. He landed at his house and walked inside. He grabbed a towel from the bathroom setting it over the couch and laid the girl on top of it.

"There. That should be good so far. Now all I have to do is somehow extract the bullets from her body."

He went into the bathroom, got out a pair of stainless steel tweezers then went out and knelt beside the girl once more. Being extra careful not to injure her even more, one by one, he removed each bullet and cleaned each wound. After he was done he sat by her side and waited long into the night until she woke early next morning.
