Year 784 - The earth
POV Lilly
"I know Vixy, I am trying the best that I can here" The pod were I am in is small, I couldn't see a thing, my eyes still hurt. My little dragon-like friend was on my shoulder. With great difficulty, I connected the scouter to the pod by touch. I managed to find the coordinates of planet called earth through my scouter and so get the navigation and hopefully autopilot to that spot. I was still in shock. He had punished me, I clutched at my eyes. But tears still hurt. The man was out of his mind. I had gone looking for things from my origin and the man completely snapped, he blinded me! My father had many enemies, I sometimes got into the cross fire. They threatened so often with a certain name that I started looking it up. His name was Vegeta and he was apparently a prince of a violent race. A jolt of pain went through my body. I try to suppress the wild energy. "Sorry Vixy" I heard her scream. "Planet Earth, expected arrival time fifteen minutes" I heard a computer voice say,
I felt we were crashing into an atmosphere, the pod became unstable. Feeling my way, I looked for a handlebar, but found nothing. I didn't dare press or pull on anything. I was afraid, I felt Vixy`s nails in my shoulder. A shock followed, a bang, and I rolled over grass. I tried to stand on my legs, but I had become dizzy. I sank through my legs onto my knees. "Vixy where are you" I called out. And soon I felt little nails on my shoulder. "Everything ok?" and she made some sounds, it was good. I made another attempt to stand, it worked. I took a deep sigh. "Will this really be earth? How the hell are we going to find him?" I took again a deep sigh, I felt the wind softly along my face. Where will a prince of violence be located?
"Vixy off" my little friend flew into the air. My wild energy flew over and through my body. It was now seven days that I had not had my medicine and removed the chip from my back. And it was getting worse and worse. "It's ok" and she came up on my shoulder again, she gave heads against my face. "I have an idea, let's go fly and you have to say when you see something like a city or a house" I couldn't fly very well, but I got in the air and moved forward. After flying almost into a tree, a mountain and another big thing a few times we got the hang of it.
We came into a village, I think. But everyone was afraid of me. Whether they never saw a blind girl with a Saida as a friend. Or seen someone flying. And they had never heard of Vegeta or a Saiyan anyway. I flew on, beginning to doubt if I was in the right place. We came to a next village. There were stones being thrown and freak shouts. I began to doubt this choice more and more. After a day of flying I was tired. It started to rain, I hate the rain. I heard noises. The sounds were loud. I landed somewhere but my energy was playing up again. "Vixy off" and I tried to fly a little further. Wild energy shot through my body. I felt it slipping through my hands. I heard an explosion. I lowered myself to the ground "Sorry" I whispered. But I heard something firing at me. It didn't hit me somehow. "I already said sorry" I shouted. Again I heard shots. I pointed my hand to the side where I heard the shots coming from and released my energy I felt so irritated and angry because they didn't listen.
"Young girl, will you please stop shooting" a low but harsh voice came through a speaker. "Can I get out of here then, I cannot stop shooting you know" I called back disoriented. "We cannot let you go, you're under arrest" the voice replied. "Please, let me get out of here. I'm going to hurt you if you don't. I have no control over my energy". I heard two voices talking to each other. They clearly didn't know what to do. One male voice told them to shoot me; the other said he will take care of it. The man quickly approached and started talking to me calmly "Girl, I'm going to lead you out of here to a safe place. You need to follow my voice. I will fly into the air now, slowly". Together we slowly went up I felt myself getting a little calmer.
"What is your name?" the man asked. "Lilly and this little one on my shoulder is Vixy" I replied. "Wow a little dragon like that I never seen here before. I'll take a wild guess, you're not from earth". Earth, he said earth! "Oh and my name is Krillin, I'm a police officer a sort of enforcer of the law. It's not really allowed to destroy buildings here". He continued to talk in a calm tone, he didn't seem very impressed with the whole thing. As if he knew more. "Ehm mister Krillin, assuming you are a mister. I can't tell" I began to stammer. "Stop flying for a moment! Yes, we are going down very slowly now. We will come to an open field in a moment". Together we landed on the ground. "Here you can release your energy for a while, don't worry about me. I can take a little" I heard a smile on his face. "Thank you, but I feel calm now. But it will come on again soon I think. The intervals of the attacks are getting smaller and smaller"
I looked up and took a deep breath. I put my hands on the bandage I had a banded over my eyes. I felt some energy come up again. "Vixy off" and my little buddy flew away. It felt like electricity was shooting through my body. I heard crackling around me like there was a short circuit somewhere. I heard Krillin push a button, in panic I shot energy his way. "Calm down Lilly, I'm just going to call for help. Nothing will happen to you, but help must come". My hand lowered, a sense of calm returned to my body. "Bulma, yes this is Krillin. Hey I have a question for you husband... Yes you put me through please... ok... yes... Hey quick question have you ever heard of an alien race that shoots off uncontrolled energy?... Uh no... No is a young girl with a tiny dragon... no idea where she came from ... I give you my location, see you in a minute" Another beep, he turned his voice back to me. "Vegeta is on his way, I hope he can help."
"Vegeta!" my voice skipped. "He's here!" I didn't know whether to be happy or scared. "Is he a friend of yours?" I asked carefully. "Yes, by now he is. We had a difficult start when he wanted to blow up our planet and all. But in the meantime he is married to Bulma and has two children. He is now one of the protectors of earth." Will he protect me too? Will I be able to stay here? A panic flew through my body followed by that nasty feeling of having no control. This time pain also shot through my body. I fought back my tears stinging in my eyes. My body dropped and I caught myself on my knees. My hands trembled, my body shook. In pain and panic, I let out a scream.
"What's going on here" a harsh stern voice was directed at Krillin. "We found her in the middle of the city, she caused a few accidents". Was that harsh voice from Vegeta? What is he going to do to me? In a panic, my breathing stopped. Energy flew out through my body, tears of pain were unstoppable. "Hey kid, can you hear me?" The harsh voice was directed at me. "Yes" was the only thing I could manage to utter. "Kiddo, focus your energy on me, let it all out." Was he really saying that? Is he that crazy? "But" "No but, shoot" I was interrupted and without further thought I pointed my hands towards the voice. I let it all out. Then I heard the voice behind me "here I am". Shit I thought was I wrong. Pointing again and letting everything out. "Now here" he jumped all the time? What is it he was doing? He was irritating me. I tried to focus on his voice but it almost seemed like a game. I flew angry into the air, following his voice and kept shooting. Until the moment my mind went blank and I lost consciousness.
POV T runks
"Hey Goten catch" I threw a piece of popcorn towards my friend. "Guys stop" Marron pushed Goten off the couch. We tried to watch a movie that Marron had picked. But he was kind of boring. "Kids can it be quieter?" my mother's voice came from the other room "Will try mom" I called back. Goten and I were actually supposed to train outside today, my dad was in the train room and we couldn't get in it to. Then the weather turned bad. 18 and Marron came to visit so we decided to watch a movie. We let Marron choose, not a good choice because we got mega silly with this romantic movie. Then suddenly we heard a lot of noise from the other room, like someone kicked open the balcony door. Then my dad and Krillin came in. My dad had something in his arms. "Trunks I say it again do something more quiet" my mother sounded angry. "Mom that was dad" I called back. "What nonsense" her voice stopped appruptly when she saw my father standing there.
"Clear the couch" my father threw something on the couch, it was a girl. She was covered in mud, over her eyes was a bandage. She was wearing a short skirt, a shirt and high lace up boots almost to the knees. She was covered in grazes, bruises and everything was black and brown from the dirt. She had long hair but the color was barely visible, it looked dark blonde. "Ummmm dad, I know mom joked that I should get a girlfriend. But to throw one here on the couch" I tried to break the tension in the room a little. My mom and 18 ran to the girl and tried to see if she was still breathing. "She's not hurt, just exhausted" he walked away. "Where do you think you are going" my mother snapped at him. "This girl is from somewhere, and it is not earth. That means her ship or something is still somewhere". My father wanted to fly away but my mother ordered him to stay. He grudgingly stayed and waited by the window.
She started to wake up; a sort of growl came out of her mouth. "Vixy, where is Vixy" she suddenly called out. Only then did we see the small light blue dragon-like reptile on Krillin's shoulder. The little creature flew onto her owner's lap and made a purring sound. "Oh all well, nice to hear little one. Hey has it stopped raining?" She looked up and held up her hand to make sure nothing was coming from the sky. "You're indoors sweetie" my mother looked trying to reassure her. The girl stood up in fright, "Inside, no I am a danger". "Just sit back and be calm. You threw that energy out so hard that it won't bother you for a while" my father turned around. "Energy?" asked Goten and I simultaneously. "How many people are here?" she looked around, which of course is useless she can't see with that bandage around her eyes,
"We already know each other, my name is Krillin. Furthermore, here are my wife 18 and my daughter Marron. Vegeta you just met outside to, the woman who just spoke to you is Bulma his wife. Furthermore, here are Trunks and Goten. Everyone this is Lilly". Krillin took the word. "Hai" I said, I could only stare at her. She looked so sad. She started shaking; my mom wrapped a blanket around her. "Where are you from?" my father walked in her direction. He is my hero but he can come across as intimidating sometimes. "I'm from planet #213, I live or lived there with my father in a research lab" her voice echoed away and she made a deep sigh. "I was hoping to hide here from him he, he" her hands went to her eyes. "Did he do something to your eyes?" My mother's face was shocked, as was everyone else's. "He sprayed gas in my eyes; I had found a document about my origin. I was made in that lab you know; I am a fail lab experiment. I didn't even get time to read it. My father was furious".
"Uh Miss Lilly, what was that about the energy" I asked curiously. "Oh I have a broken gene. My head keeps looking for a fights and trouble. It made me a bad girl. My dad has medicine to suppress that. It also filters out the weird energy. But since I ran away my energy started to find its own way out. Last week I never pointed my hand at another person and shot". Her face looked so guilty, I felt sorry for her. Made in a lab, medicated, unable to fight. "Wow" was all I could put out.
POV Lilly
I didn't know who was asking that question, he had a kind of cheerful voice. The vibe in the room was improving. Then I heard again that stern voice of Vegeta "Tell me, kid how is that wild energy now?" I had to say, I feel calmer. It seemed to be gone "I don't feel it anymore" I heard the surprise in my own voice. "But how?" I put my own hand over my mouth. "You don't have defective genes, and the will to fight isn't something wrong in your head. You were made in a lab you say? So you don't know what's coursing through your veins. I've seen this kind of behavior before in war prisoners on my home planet. More races have this if they don't move and fight much for a long time".
I don't have a defective gene? But then what am I, my mind wandered. I sat down, there was someone sitting next to me. It was Vegeta`s wife Bulma. "May I have a look at your eyes hon?" My thoughts were still going in all directions. I nodded yes and she started to take off the bandages. I saw some slight difference without bandages, which was a good sign. Two hands grabbed my face and turned my head. Probably she wanted to look into my eyes. I suddenly saw something bright. "Your pupils are reacting. That's a good sign" I could only smile weakly, my father doesn't make things half way. Unless this was intentional again. "One more question" there was Vegeta again "why earth?" I felt a lump I my throat. "Well actually I was looking for you. You're kind of number one guy to be afraid off. I was hoping if I was here, he wouldn't dare to come" I could just hear him laughing, was this a joke? "I am honored, #213 is a planet of Frieza`s. It was a good call kid"
A growl escaped my stomach, I felt like I was blushing. "So-sorry" I stammered. Everyone shot up in laughter. "Don't worry honey; I'll get you some food. But you need to get clean too. 18 do you want to start cooking? Then I'll make sure you have a clean refreshed Lilly". "No problem, Marron you are coming to help?" Another woman's voice came through the room. Footsteps disappeared into another room. "Come on, we're going to run a bath" I walked with her, I still almost tripped over a wooden thing in front of the couch and a door is obviously narrower here. I think it would have looked really stupid.
POV Trunks
I stood in the kitchen, Goten stood by the dining table. "Here catch" and I threw plate, after plate like a Frisbee at Goten. "Don`t you dare do the same with the silverware" 18 could be very scary when she put on a voice like that. Father and Krillin had gone for a quick tour to find the ship. They came back with nothing. We heard footsteps in the corridor. On my mother's arm was a pretty girl about 1,60 meter tall. Long dark blond hair, sweet face, her eyes were dewy. She was wearing old clothes from mom. That my mom ever dressed like that? it looked good on Lilly! "Hai" I tried to sound as cheerful as possible. Goten whispered in my ear "maybe the girl is blind but it's not right to stare" He got a smack at his head.
This girl could eat; she could be one of us in a second. She still apologized for being hungry. Father just had to laugh about it. "Do you have any idea where you landed?" asked Krillin. Lilly thought carefully "Oh yes big open space, lot of fresh air. Purple grass en I saw weird little reptiles that can give milk." followed by a giggle. She was joking? "But no kidding, Vixy has a better sense of direction. She'll lead you right to it". "What?" asked Krillin in surprise. "It's a Saida, I'm not surprised" answered father. Everyone looked surprised. Lilly was feeding Vixy meat pieces from her hand. "A Saida is a unique pet, they are protective and very loyal. They are also very rare. How did you get one?" Lilly thought, "She was a birthday present for my third birthday I think." We ate some more, all plates cleanly empty. You couldn't tell that that girl had eaten so much.
After eating, Krillin and father took the dragon on their way to the ship. My mother prepared the guest room. She insisted that the girl sleeps in the same house as us as long as she can't see anything. Marron, Goten, Lilly and I went to hang out on the couch. "May I ask how old you actually are?" I was actually curious. She smiled sweetly "Sixteen." We talked more, about her dragon Vixy, about earth and about the people who lived here. She listened very intently. Later in the evening father came back. Lilly almost fell asleep but wanted to wait for her buddy. "Sleep tight."
