Hey guys!!! I know it's been awhile since my last chapter, I just got over a six week summer course with the Sea Cadets, so I can write again!!!
Anyways, you all know the disclaimer deal, I don't own DBZ or any of the characters, blah blah blah. So on to the story.
Chapter 4, of Warrior of the Fallen: Realisations
Prior to their departure from Dende's tower, Krillen had informed the recently revived Trunks about the situation that Xeexru was in, and that she needed her arm repaired. He had agreed to take her back to Capsule Corp. when he left, and make sure that his grandfather would look at her arm, although he knew it would be slightly uncomfortable, having a stranger in his family's home, and not knowing her intentions. But he felt confident that if a situation would arise, that involved her not being as innocent that she appeared to be, his father could take care of it. He had thought about that for a moment, she didn't seem innocent, as he had noticed in her battle with Cell, she was a ruthless fighter, she hadn't held anything back, but it was obvious that her intentions were honourable, she just wanted to protect those who truly were innocent... at least that's what he hoped she wanted to do.
Xeexru watched on as they other fighters talked about their fallen comrade, the one she had learned to be called Goku. She did not criticise them on the fact that they would miss their friend, and father for the other one named Gohan. It was their instincts telling them to mourn their fellow fighter, it was purely a human thing to do. She had always thought that after death there was nothing. But she had been proven wrong when she had sensed the presence of the saya-jin in her mind, talking to them through the telepathic capabilities of King Kai.
She scowled, she didn't like telepathists, well, most telepathists, it bothered her that they could find you no matter where you were, and then invade your mind, filling it with thoughts that weren't even yours, sending you into a state of paranoia, fear racking your mind.
She had been shocked when she had heard that Freeza had been defeated, it angered her to know that she had been too late. The only thing she wanted to do was to watch him suffer, the same way that so many others had, before she killed him. She wasn't sure what she would do now, her purpose in life had been extinguished, possibly the one thing that could keep her sane. The only thing she was meant to do now was die.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when the Z fighters prepared to depart from the tower. She walked forward, clutching her metal arm firmly in her flesh hand, the wires dangled from both her upper arm, and her detached limb. It was almost a sickening sight, seeing someone deprived of a limb, yet barely even noticing it was gone. She continued to walk up to the group, with the same emotionless expression. She just wanted to get out of there. She never really was much of a social person, always keeping to herself, she usually only talked to someone if they asked a question, or to threaten them.
She followed the group as they walked to the edge, before launching themselves over the side, eager to get home and rejoice in the defeat of Cell. She broke into a jog as the others flew off the edge of the tower. As she reached the edge, she jumped, preforming a head first dive, allowing gravity to carry her down. As the group split up, going their separate ways, she increased her power level, just enough to keep her airborne, and followed about fifteen feet behind Yamcha and Trunks as they flew on.
She payed no attention as Yamcha explained to Trunks what had happened after he had been shot dead. Trunks was shocked to find that his father had jumped at Cell, he was under the impression that Vegeta cared for no one.
A few moments later, Yamcha broke off from Trunks' side as they split their ways once again. Xeexru increased her speed, and little by little, she was soon flying alongside Trunks. He had completely forgotten that she was going to be following him home, and immediately converted his attention to her. She still held the same emotionless expression, as she had when they had left the tower just minutes before. Her short grey hair was blown back, much like his was, flying through the air side by side. Trunks thought of something to say to her, although she didn't look like she was in the mood for a conversation.
"My grandfather should be able to fix your arm for you by tonight." He said, and immediately cursed his choice of words to start the conversation.
"I certainly hope so, I want to get back to my training as soon as possible." She said flatly.
"I heard that you came here in search of Freeza." He said softly, trying not to provoke her, as it was obviously a touchy subject.
"That is correct," She stated bitterly. "But apparently you got to him first."
Trunks remained silent for a moment, a moment of regret filling his heart, but he forced it down, and decided to continue their conversation. "Why did you search for him?"
"He destroyed my planet, and murdered billions of its inhabitants, including my father." Her voice was cold, and full of hidden pain. She easily kept her emotions at bay, the way she had trained herself to do for five years.
"I'm sorry," Trunks apologised. "I did..." But he was abruptly caught off.
"You didn't know." She finished for him, plainly. That was what everyone had said to her... well, everyone that she had found that still lived. "No one knew, they didn't like getting involved in the business of Freeza, because if they did, they usually ended up dead." Her voice rang with hostility as she spoke the tyrants' name.
There was a long moment of silence, before Xeexru decided to ask a question herself.
"Your father, is he Vegeta, the king of saya-jins?" She remembered studying saya-jin history, and the aspects of their culture as a child, and the saya-jin she had spoken to today continued to stick out in her mind. What was the king of the most powerful race in the universe doing on a low life planet like this?
"No... he is the son of the king, although he should be king, now that his father is no longer alive." Trunks said truthfully. His mother had explained Vegetas highly respected role to him before he made his way back to the past, just to insure that her son had an idea just how arrogant his father had been, and still was.
"So he is the prince, of a dead race. That would make you next in line to receive the throne, although I don't see the point." She said, somewhat disdainfully.
Trunks thought about she had said, he was the next one to receive the throne, but in his time, his father was already dead, which now made him the king. He decided to think nothing of it, for in his time, he was the only saya-jin left, and he considered himself more human than anything else.
Once again, silence filled the air as they flew. He decided to see if he could get her to explain her heritage, because it was obvious she was not Earth born.
"Your father was a saya-jin?" He questioned somewhat casually. He was careful not to upset her too much.
"Yes, sent to Klentubiateur as an infant." She paused for a moment, not sure whether to continue, but Trunks seemed interested, so she resumed in further explanation of his question. "He was meant to destroy all the life on the planet, but the Klentubians discovered the saya-jins plan to destroy their planet, and intercepted the pod. They reprogrammed his intentions. He grew up under extreme supervision, and became the protector, instead of the destroyer." She stated calmly, remembering her fathers past. "I was born several years later, and began my training as soon as I could walk. I soon matched my fathers power, and eventually exceeded it, but by then it was too late." The last part of the phrase was said with bitter pain, and anger. She quickly calmed herself, and answered the next question that would surely be on his mind.
"Freeza came to our planet, after several of his warriors were defeated, he was curious to find out who was behind it. He arrived to find my father and myself, needless to say he was somewhat shocked to find out that I had defeated two of his elites. We quickly became aware of his power level and started a complete planetary evacuation, so that we could fight without distraction. But Freezas patience wore thin faster than we had anticipated, and shortly after the evacuation had started, he attacked a nearby village. We were given no choice but to attack him, in an effort to protect our home. My father was killed in the battle, in an effort to save me." Her voice was full of icy anger, and her power level began to rise. She didn't appear to notice her increase in power, her mind was focused on the words that left her mouth. "I was furious at both Freeza and my father for doing something so foolish. I still can't believe he gave his life for mine. That was the first time I had ever lost my temper, and I transformed into a super saya-jin for the first time. I managed to scare Freeza into leaving the planet, but that was the largest mistake I have ever made in my life. The evacustion on my planet continued, as they were still concerned of Freezas presence. The Klentubians told me to take an escape craft into space, and that they could handle the rest of the evacuation. But shortly after my ship left orbit to go to our sister planet, Klentubiateur was destroyed. Noone knew the cause right away except for me, I knew it had been Freeza, he had tried to kill me while he had the chance, to ensure that we didn't have another confrontation later on.
"The entire population of the planet was a little over twenty billion, less than two billion survived its destruction." Her voice had grown increasingly dangerous sounding, and Trunks was getting worried that she would force herself into super saya-jin.
"Everyone died because of me, I didn't kill Freeza when i had the chance. Had I killed him, eighteen billion people along with countless others would still be alive. I was such a fool to let him go!!!" Her rage was clear now, and she was struggling to control her breath and her power level, as it fluctuated higher and higher every time another word left her mouth.
Trunks remained silent, he couldn't find a way to respond to her story, he could only gape uncontrollably. He knew his past was horrifying, but compared to hers, it was nothing. Hers was absolutely devastating. He knew it must be horrible knowing that she could have prevented the entire thing from happening. But there was nothing she could do about it now.
They remained silent for the rest of the trip back to Capsule Corp. Xeexru had regained her cold composure, her anger gone for the moment.
Trunks landed gracefully, his white aura dispersed, as Xeexru landed a few feet behind him.
She watched as Trunks walked to the door of the complex, but before he could reach for the doorknob, the door was flung open, and he found himself in the arms of his young mother. She was obviously relieved to find her son safe, as the tears rolled down her cheek, uncontrollably.
Xeexru calmly waited for her invitation to enter the house, but it didn't come for several minutes. But eventually, Trunks introduced her to his mother.
"Mom... this is Xeexru, you might have seen her on TV." Trunks said calmly,
"Yes,I remember you, you're a saya-jin too, huh?" Then she stuck out her hand in the traditional human fashion of greeting. "Pleased to meet you Xeexru, I'm Bulma, Trunks' mom."
Xeexrus eyes lowered to Bulmas outstretched hand, before returning her gaze to her eyes, and narrowed them slightly.
It took Bulma a moment before she realised Xeexrus lack of her right arm, which was held in her left.
"Oh my Kami!!! What happened?" She exclaimed, while Trunks sweat dropped at his mother's ability to over look things.
"Bad incident with Cell." Xeexru stated calmly. "I was told that a Dr. Briefs could fix it. I'd like to have it done as soon as possible."
"Dr. Briefs would be my dad, but you two aren't going any where's until you get something to eat. You must be starving, especially after a fight like that." Bulma commanded rather than offered.
"I appreciate your hospitality, but I'd rather continue my training." It was unlike a saya-jin warrior to choose training rather than food, but anything was possible. Unfortunately, Xeexru's attempt to train was swatted down when she realised this woman was not to be tampered with, and would not take no for an answer.
Only a few minutes later both Trunks and Xeexru were sitting at the table, waiting patiently as Bulma cooked their food.
"What are you going to do now that Freeza's dead? Will you go back to your people?" Trunks questioned lightly, just trying to break the silence.
"I have no intentions of returning to them, not unless an emergency appears. But if that were to happen I am confident that the Tomakas can take care of it."
"The Tomakas?" Xeexru hadn't spoken of them earlier.
"The inhabitants of Klentubiateurs sister planet. A ruthless species, second only to the saya-jins... as far as I know." She explained. Trunks found that subject to be exhausted, so he tried something else instead.
"Was your mother a Klentubian?"
"Yes, although I never met her." She obviously did not mourn that fact.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be so intruding." Trunks apologised quickly.
"It is nothing to apologise about, all female Klentubians die in child birth. It is extremely rare to have one survive the process"
"You continue to refer to them as if they are not a part of you, aren't you half Klentubian?" Bulma casually intruded into the conversation.
"No, genetics work differently with them. One hundred percent of the genetic detail for the child is carried through the male. I am a full saya-jin, the same as my father. The only difference is, I'm a girl." Xeexru continued to explain.
"But I thought you said that you were the same as your father." Bulma was obviously getting confused. She received a stare that merely said, "do you not know anything?"
"The gender of a child is always determined after the child has been conceived. Even a respectable human like yourself should know that." Bulma could feel her anger growing within herself. She was beginning to question the fact if whether or not she should really be feeding this fighter, or maybe she should just let her starve.
Trunks quickly noted the tension in the air, and decided to change the subject before things got messy. It was obvious that Xeexru had not meant much harm, but he knew his mother better than anyone, she could get pissed off at the slightest notion.
"How did you get here, all the way from your solar system?" That would most likely involve complicated technology that would probably amuse his mother for the next decade.
He was right.
"I was given a ship. " She said simply, but none-the-less it definitely caught Bulmas attention.
"Can this ship travel faster than light?" She was getting excited. Bulma was always struggling to find a way to travel faster, and easier, and right now, none of her past ships were up to what she had in mind. "What kind of engine does it run off of?"
"Yes it can travel faster than light. It is powered by a quad plasma molecular relay engine, which is fuelled by a high density compound made of hydrogen, mercury, and magnesium." Bulma was already drooling, this girl was almost too good to be true. She had brought extreme technology from another world that could put Earth on the interstellar map.
Bulma quickly regained her composure, before offering Xeexru a plan of action.
"After your arm is repaired, I can give you a room you can stay in, and tomorrow you can show me your ship after Trunks leaves." Xeexru nodded, she accepted her plan. Then she turned her head towards Trunks.
"You're leaving tomorrow? I was under the impression that you lived here."
"I do live here, sort of. The place is correct, but the time isn't." He explained lightly.
"Time travel." Was all Xeexru said, her voice low as her eyes narrowed. "You came back to warn these people about Cell?"
"No, I came back to warn them about the two androids that live in my time."
"You mean the blond one I saw today? She is one of them?" She questioned, her voice remaining somewhat cold, the same way it had been for the entire conversation.
"Yes, her and her brother have destroyed my world, I'm going to go back tomorrow and destroy them." Trunks seemed confident, as she had seen earlier with the Cell Juniors, his power was immense, much higher than her own. She had realised that day that there was at least two levels beyond that of a normal super saya-jin, one of which Trunks had reached, and the other that was achieved merely hours before, by the child.
Bulma made her way back to the kitchen, and served the food onto several plates. There was enough there to feed an army. She already knew the immense appetite that Trunks held, but she did not know how much the other saya-jin could eat.
Both saya-jins ate eagerly, but after Trunks stopped, Xeexru continued. She ate almost as much a Goku had. Bulma gave a sad smile at the thought of her late friend, but she knew that he would be happy where he was, and he would always be there to help, if they needed it.
How was that? In the next chapter, Trunks has a run in with Xeexru during the middle of the night while she is training (hey, keep your minds out of the gutters, there is absolutely no romance until later chapters). And Trunks leaves to go back to the future, and Bulma discovers the wonders of alien technology. No_name_writer

Both saya-jins ate eagerly, but after Trunks stopped, Xeexru continued. She ate almost as much a Goku had. Bulma gave a sad smile at the thought of her late friend, but she knew that he would be happy where he was, and he would always be there to help, if they needed it.
How was that? In the next chapter, Trunks has a run in with Xeexru during the middle of the night while she is training (hey, keep your minds out of the gutters, there is absolutely no romance until later chapters). And Trunks leaves to go back to the future, and Bulma discovers the wonders of alien technology. No_name_writer
