Lonely Fate

One guards the Time Gate for all eternity,
the other thinks he is too different to love.
Piccolo's time machine went wrong and he must stay with Pluto till he fix it.
Fighting loneliness together, yet Fate does not agree.

Author's note: You all think Piccolo had a smooth ride while going to get Vegeta? I think not! This story is in my point of view.

Chapter 3

She felt the evil presense even before the long dark hair wrapped itself around her neck. Setsuna gasped, she held on to her time key. "Pic-" she tried crying for Piccolo but her lungs were cut off.
'Piccolo help me' she screamed silently. Suddenly, a blast of light slammed into whoever it was behind Setsuna but took Setsuna down with it.
Setsuna gasped for hair and Piccolo rushed to her.
"Are you alright?" he growled.
"I'm fine" Setsuna said inbetween breaths. They both took a look at their attacker and both gasp outloud in surprise. A girl, with a body and face of no more than 12 years old was havoring in front of them. The girl's pale face was twisted with hate and the look in her eye made Setsuna double think whether she is actually 12 or 200. Dark long hair floats around the girl like snakes waiting to attack.
Setsuna quickly got up to face her. "Who are you"
She felt Piccolo right behind her, she wasn't sure why but she felt safe.
"Time Keeper..." The girl hissed. Her words came out dragging and hissing like a demon snake. "Take me to your prinncessss"
"Do you know her?" Piccolo asked. Setsuna shook her head.
"Than-" Piccolo stepped in front of Setsuna. "You wouldn't mind me blasting her away"
He got into his fighting position, shouted some words and the same blast of light was shooting towards the demon girl. The girl hissed loudly and screamed when hit. A lock of her long dark hair shooted out and knocked Piccolo far away. Before Setsuna could do anything, long dark hair wrapped around her again . Within a split second the girls face was pressed against Setsunas.
"Your prinncesss will paaay" she hissed into Setsuna's ears. "I'll make sure she paaaysss"
The time key was snatched away from Setsuna before she could do anything. The Time Gate opened as soon as the key was pointed at it.
"NO-" Setsuna tried to scream but the girl disappeared into the gate as soon as it opened. Gasping on all fours, she felt like she failed. Hell, she did fail. "Setsuna!" Piccolo appeared at her side. "Are you hurt"
"T-That girl, she disppeared into the gate! She wanted to hurt the princess! Oh my goddess-" Setsuna grasped Piccolo's hand hard. "I must go to them"
Piccolo was stroking her hair softly and Setsuna calmed down a bit.
"There's nothing to do now except to wait" Piccolo said. "You don't know how to open the Time Gate"
Setsuna's head shot up and stared at Piccolo's face. His face is blank. Should she tell him now? But she must! The princess is in danger!
"I think I almost got the time machine done" Piccolo continued. "Give me 2 more days the most"
"What if we don't have 2 more days? What if she reaches the princess"
"Setsuna..." His voice calmed her once again. She sobbed and fell into his arms. This wasn't suppose to happen, she has to either admit she lied to him or risk the princess life. This wasn't suppose to happen.
