A New Generation
Chapter Two:
The Truth of the Past
"How do you know my name?" Todd gasped.
"Oh, I know a lot about you. We have kept tabs on you for a long time, but now your power is finally starting to surface, and thought you should know the truth of your origin." Replied the Girl.
Todd just gaped. He took a moment to look over this girl who seemed to know a lot about him. She looked to be about 16, like him, and she had long purple hair and beautiful green eyes. He was finally able to gasp out. "What do you mean my origin? I am just a normal kid. I mean, I know that I was adopted but so what, you mean you know who my parents were."
"Not exactly. My name is Kira Briefs. My father sent me to find you because we saw your power flair for a brief second. He decided it was time to confront you. He decided that I should come since I am less intimidating than him or my brother, and mom was busy with other things. So maybe we should go talk to your parents, there are some things we need to ask them."
After some more staring buy Todd, he agreed, and he started to walk back to his house. Kira turned and started to walk with him. They walked in silence, for Todd had some strange thoughts going through his head. He wondered about this lovely girl who just happened to be a member of one of the richest families on earth. Then the peace was broken as a man jumped out from behind a tree holding a knife.
"You look like you have plenty of money. Why don't you give me some pal, unless you want the lady to get hurt?"
Before Todd could respond Kira blurred out of sight and reappeared behind the man, as he was looking for her, she hit him on the back of the neck, and he collapsed as if his skeleton was jelly, just lying there on the ground. "I don't need protection creep."
Then she calmly walked back over to Todd and said, "Shall we get going?"
Todd stood this with his jaw hanging open. He didn't even see her move.
"I think I will take that as a yes." As she grabbed his arm and pulled him in the direction they had been heading as if nothing had happened.
Eventually he fell back into step with Kira. He could not believe what had happened, but after her arrival and all, things just didn't seem as weird now. After another few minutes of walking, they reached Todd's house. Todd opened the door and walked in. "Mom I'm home, I really need to talk to you."
"Be right there Todd." Saying this, his mother walked down the stairs and stopped on the last step when she saw Kira. "Who is she?"
"Mom, this is Kira. She is the one who actually needs to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Me."
"What do you mean?"
At this point Kira spoke up. "Mam, I know that Todd is not your son, and I also know how you found him. My family keeps track of occurrences like the one that night. We looked in on you and found that you were not having any problems with Todd, so we decided to leave you alone, but now it is different."
"What are you talking about?" asked Todd's mother.
"I am talking about Todd showing up the way he did. It wasn't the first time something like that happened. You know that Todd is different, you have seen how strong and fast he has become under normal circumstances. Tell me something, when you found him, did Todd have a tail."
"How did you know that?" Todd's mother screamed.
"Because I know a saiyan when I sense one. And you hadn't noticed that I do two." With this she unwrapped what had looked like a strange brown belt from around her waist.
Todd was dumbstruck. This girl had showed up, scared his mother and he thought she had called him a saiyan, whatever that was. But he figured that it was time he intervened before something major happened. "Would someone mind telling me what is going on here? I lost track about the time Kira said you found me. And what is this about having a tail?"
"Well Todd, your father and I hid some things from you. We found you about 15 years ago. We had seen something strange go by the house and then heard a crash. We went to the field down the road, and there we found a strange pod. The front of the pod opened as we approached and inside we found you. We took you out of the pod, and that is when we found that you had a tail. Well we took you in, and we talked to a doctor and had the tail removed, we didn't want you to appear different from everyone else. The doctor removed it and agreed to not tell anyone. Apparently, Kira here seems to know about it. But I don't know how that could be."
"Oh that is easy to explain. You see Capsule Corp has several satellites in orbit; a few of them are programmed to track reentry of metallic objects. We saw the pod land, and my mother came out here to check on it, but saw your parents and she figured you looked like good enough people so she let him stay here. What confused us was the fact that his hair was red. Pretty much all saiyans have black hair, and dark eyes. While Todd here has blue eyes and red hair. I am different because I am only half saiyan, which is why my hair is different. So we think he is a hybrid, but first we needed to find out what he is a hybrid of."
"Well I must say that I am completely lost." Said Todd with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"I guess a simple solution would be to come with me to Capsule Corp. We can find out there. And we also would like to know if you would like to move there. We think you should learn to control your power. The boy you fought today at your school. If you get stronger, you could have killed him. We think you should learn how to control that strength."
Todd thought about it for a while. Finally he decided, "alright, I will go. For now at least."
"Good. And Mrs. Collins, I promise that your son will be fine."
"I will be back later mom, tell dad what happened."
