Chapter Three – Revelation

"I am. Normally, Magicians are born, not chosen. I am the exception; for some reason I was chosen to become a Magician. I'm only four months away from completing that process."

Vegeta was speechless, are pretty rare thing to happen to him. He had heard about the Magician race but he had never actually seen one. There weren't many left. That fact, combined with their typical habit of keeping to themselves a lot, made them very mysterious beings.

"But why were you chosen? What's so important about you?"

"I don't know exactly," Gee answers. "But it was made perfectly clear to me by the Circle that I'm not to take any risk at all. That's why I'm kind of an indoor girl."

"Hmpf. What could possibly happen to you here? I know you're not defenseless, far from it. On top of it all you have me hanging around here to defend your sorry ass. Why be so careful?"

"I can see you're not familiar with Magic powers… I think even you would be shocked by what they can accomplish."

"Hah! I doubt that!"

"Oh and by the way, you owe my sister an apology for almost killing her." She glared at him with cold eyes.

Vegeta shows her his trademark smirk, but then it fades away rather quickly as Gee keeps looking him in the eye. He is stared down by her and mumbles: "It won't happen again."

"Close enough," Gee says. "I'm getting out of here." She walks out of the kitchen and vanishes.

Vegeta looks at the door furiously. 'How the HELL did she do that? She almost had full control over me!'

Bulma laughs nervously. "You better learn how to control that temper of yours, mister. She's always around and she knows everything."

"You're in no position to threaten me, woman." Vegeta growls and leaves for the gravity machine to train.

'He sure is a handful, this Saiyan,' Gee thinks to herself when she's back in her own private quarters. 'And dangerous too! He was about to kill Bulma just because he didn't get what he wanted… I have to make sure she is safe here while he's around. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her.'

With that thought, she gets out of her room and goes to see Vegeta.

"Now what?" Vegeta yells. Someone knocked at the door of the gravity machine and he only just started his training! He opens the door and the gravity level immediately drops to Earth's normal gravity.

"You again! What do you want?" he glares daggers at Gee, who is standing in front of him, not in the least intimidated by his rude behavior.

"I want you to guarantee my sister's safety," she states plainly.

"HAH! Idiot! What makes you think I'd do any such thing?"

"Well, let me think." Gee puts up a hand and Vegeta withdraws.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you," she smiles.

"As if you could," he replies mockingly.

She shows him images of Goku as a Super Saiyan. He shrugs.

"So?"

"I'll show you one possible future, Vegeta. Watch closely."

He sees himself standing on top of a mountain, golden hair and green eyes.

"That's who you're supposed to become, I think. I can help you with that, but you have to promise me that my sister will not be harmed in any way. Not if you can help it."

"Who says I need your help?"

"You underestimate me, Vegeta. Did you take a close look at your possible future self?"

He looks closer. "My tail? That's impossible. You're playing tricks on me, woman. My tail was cut off beyond the root, there's no way I'll ever grow it back again."

"You're wrong. I'll give you your tail, Vegeta, but you have to make your promise first."

He looks at her thoughfully and then shrugs. "Fine. I promise."

"You can do better than that, Vegeta."

"Blast it, woman, do you have to be so persistent?"

She looks at him patiently in response.

"Alright, if that's the way you want it, you can have it." A small energy dot glows up in his right hand and he uses it to make a shallow cut in his left underarm. He looks her straight in the eye.

"By my blood I swear that your sister shall not be harmed in any way. Not if I'm there to prevent it."

"See? Now I believe you. Here's my part of the deal." She holds up her hands and makes magical symbols with them in the air.

It itches at first, but soon Vegeta founds himself in a hell of a lot of pain. His lower back seems to be the centre of it. He can't bear it any longer and falls to the ground. Suddenly it stops.

"There you go, Vegeta."

Sweat runs down his face as he gets up. He turns around and sees his tail curl up behind him as it used to do. He looks at Gee in amazement.

"I did underestimate you," he says.

"You're welcome. Just remember your end of the deal." She turns around and leaves him standing the in astonishment.
