Gathering



Piccolo mediated at the lookout. He opened his eyes and flew off. It was time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Krillin looked up. He had been watching the ocean. He saw the time.

"18 . . . " Android 18 looked up from her book. She saw the time and nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex sat by a mountain. She sighed.

"Mortals! Amaya!" Alex shook her head. "This is something I never thought I would do. Go back to THE MOST sacred place throughout the universe with mortals! The Divine Star of Eternity is not to be visited by mortals! By anyone who is not one of us! But yet we do something that is not heard of!" Alex stood up. She looked around. "What do you want Amaya?" Lady Onra appeared in front of Alex.

"Please . . . my name is Lady Onra in this form."

"Fine, whatever."

"Alex, I don't know if I can tell the others."

"What do you mean . . . Lady Onra." Lady Onra turned away from Alex and looked at the landscape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bulma woke up from her long deserved nap. She walked out to the kitchen where Vegeta was getting a drink of water. She looked at him. He turned and saw her.

"I was wondering when you going to wake up baka."

"Nande-koto-wa?"

"You got lucky that's what happened. You fell asleep and you would have hit the ground if I hadn't been walking by." Bulma looked at the clock.

"Vegeta . . . it's time."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Throughout time I have always been depended on. I would know what to do. I had more responsibilities than everyone else. Everyone would always say, 'Let's ask Amaya what to do. She'll know.' Not Tomiko, the queen of us, not Dara, the one who knows all the mystery. Amaya. That was what was done. Just because my source of power. I was tried of being depended on. And then, for the first time ever, someone wanted me to depend on them. Not the other way around. I loved it. I have always had to be strong. Never shed a tear or rest. But with these people. I finally got a break and . . . " Lady Onra looked back to Alex.

"You don't want to loose it." Alex shook her head. "You may be just a child to them. But in reality you hold the most power in the universe. The rest of us cannot survive without you. You are the most powerful one of us all. You are stronger than the rest of us, you may not be happy as the rest of us, but with your power you could-"

"I could wipe out everything. I could change the balance in life. I could change anything I wanted." Alex smiled.

"You see, you are the most powerful being. You have unlimited power! Nothing will stop you! Nothing can! Now, it is time to go back to those mortals and tell them who we really are! Then we can leave without them and this whole thing will be over. Let's go!" Alex flew off. Lady Onra watched her for a moment.

"You don't know how wrong you are."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Piper flew over a town. 'Masaka! This is going to take longer than I had ever thought! Where is she?!'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the warriors of Earth had gathered at Capsule Corp. This was the day that Lady Onra and Alex were suppose to appear and tell everyone the truth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lady Onra flew high above the clouds with Alex. She was silent in thought. Alex turned to Lady Onra.

"What is it?"

"I . . . I can't tell them."

"Not this again. Damare! Look, if you don't tell them then they will try to follow us. They won't leave you alone." Lady Onra turned to Alex. She stopped where she was and floated in the air. Alex stopped and flew back to her. She floated in the air.

"Let's . . . let's go to The Divine Star of Eternity. I can't tell them. If I do . . . I don't want to tell them. If I do . . . if I ever come back . . . they . . ."

"It's that Goku person. You are above him! Along with everything else on this planet!" Alex shook her head. "Alright. I didn't want anything to do with them anyway." Lady Onra sighed. She looked at the sun. It was setting.

"The day . . . is over . . . now they might come looking." Lady Onra turned back to Alex. "Let's go now!" Alex nodded. Alex began to glow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goku sat down on the ground. The day was over and the two had never shown up. Bulma sighed and walked inside with Vegeta. The others began to leave. Chichi walked over to her husband.

"Are you alright."

"I kinda knew she won't show up. She keeps running. What made me think she was going to stop."

"She must have a horrible secret and is scared. Goku, you were like a father to her. That was all that she wanted."

"Hai I guess you're right."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Piper flew through the air. She had felt the ki that was all too familiar to her. She had helped hunt down others with a similar ki. She then saw it. Alex. Alex was changing. Her clothes glowed and were a complete white. They seemed to reshape while glowing. She wore a short, blue dress. It cut off a bit before her knees. The lining was red, lining where her dress came around her neck and went off to the side in to under her armpit in a diagonal line and her sleeve ends. Her sleeves cut off alittle farther than her shoulders. A red ribbon was tied around just above her waist. Also, she had a wrist band that started a little below the elbow on her left arm that cut off at her wrists. It was blue with red lining and a red line down the center as though it was a seem on the front side of her arm. She also had the same on her legs, starting below her knees and ending at the ankles. Down the center in front was another red line. Her eyes seemed to become a light blue. Her pupils were only a shade darker than the color of her eyes. She hair become silver and it shined. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and there was a lock of hair in front of each ear. She looked a few years longer and her lips became a light purple. Her hair didn't make her seem older at all. Piper looked at this new form.

"Mari . . . she transformed back into her true form." Piper was in totally shock. She had never seen such a transformation. She shook her head trying to regain control over herself. Lady Onra smiled at this new form.

"Alex, no, you are no longer Alex. Mari, do you now understand what I meant. You are in two different forms. You must have felt it. You must have felt different as Alex." Mari nodded.

"Yes . . . Lady Onra . . . forgive me. It had been so long since I was last in this form that . . . my views were off." Lady Onra nodded. She was about to say something else when she felt something that she hadn't wanted to feel. A ki. More than one ki. Lady Onra turned and saw the warriors of Earth. Goku looked at her and Mari with hurt and confusion.

"Goku! I-I didn't-I'm-it's just- " Lady Onra tried to explain. She felt a panic in her. Before she could say anything else Piper appeared behind her. She grabbed her and took some kind of pale yellow shot out. It had two needles and they were only a centimeter long. It didn't have an injector. She stabbed in to the side of Lady Onra's neck. Lady Onra struggles to get free stopped. Her eyes lost their shine and her pupils changed size. They changed their size several times and then stopped changing after a moment. Her pupils were much larger than they should have been. Lady Onra went limp. Piper quickly flew up to a black portal above her. It all happened so fast. Mari held out her hand a and a bokken formed. It was white and it had a vine with flowers designed on the handle. Piper saw this and blasted Mari. Mari slashed the blast in half with the bokken. She made and another slashing motion and a great force flew at Piper but she went into the portal too soon for the blast to hit her.

"LADY ONRA!!!" Mari watched the portal close in terror. "LADY ONRA!!!!!!!!!" Goku turn to Mari. Everything had happened so fast that no one except Mari was able to do anything.

"What is going?! That's the same lady who attack Onra!" Mari looked at Goku.

"Forgive me . . . we should have come and told you but . . . but Lady Onra was afraid. She didn't want to tell you so we didn't come. And I am sorry for what I have said to you."

"Who are you? Why were you with Onra?" Mari smiled.

"I was Alex, but now I am in my true from. In this form I am Mari."

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Gohan here! Next time Lady Onra is taken to Riki. On the way she searches for something in her mind. She can't really do anything after whatever it was the was injected into her. Mari says she'll tell us what she and Lady Onra are. This is getting way too confusing. What is going on? All I know is that my father Goku is too kind for his own good. I mean, Lady Onra was alive over 20,000 years ago. He doesn't need to protect her. She can probably take care of all of us instead of it being the other way around.
