We were walking along the forest side, trying to find some place for shelter. We stopped when a large roar came from the front. I grabbed Gohan and jumped behind a tree.
We sat there, and soon enough the trees erupted and a large shape, taller than the trees, came out. It sniffed the air and looked around.
"A tyrannosaurus? Here?" Wow… Jurassic park had nothing on the real thing…"Aunt Katie?"
"…I've never seen one before, that's all." I said, looking down at him. I looked back up as it walked away, "We should get away from the trees. I think he lives in there."
"Yeah, sounds good." Gohan agreed.
We walked away from the trees toward the rocky plain to look for a cave or something.
"I'm tired!" Gohan whined.
I am too…"Okay, we'll rest for a moment."
I looked around as I sat down, still searching for a cave.
"Do you really think we can stop those Saiyans?"
"Yes, I do." I said it and meant it.
I got off the ground and looked around. There were no trees in sight, and the only animal I had seen was a snake. Of course, it didn't stay that way. A large eruption in the background got my attention. Gohan started to cry.
I can't baby him… but I can't let anything happen to him either.I ran to Gohan's side and look toward the sound. Suddenly the source of the sound burst through the rocks. It was the t-rex, and he looked hungry.
"Aunt Katie!"
"Gohan, run!"
Together we ran toward the nearest rock face, but it turned out to really be a dead end. The t-rex was right on our tails and had us trapped.
"Gohan, jump, now!" I cried as I jumped up to a ledge a few meters high, "Gohan!"
"I'm scared!" he cried. I jumped down and got in front of him. I didn't know what I could do against a dinosaur, but I'd try to protect Gohan.
The t-rex bent down and sniffed me. He opened his jaws and roared, then lunged at me. I punched it in the jaw, and it backed away, but came back angry.
Damn, I have to protect Gohan, at least until his hidden powers release. I hope that's soon, I only have one good arm to use.
The t-rex lunged again, and I dodged, but not well enough. His hard head slammed me into the wall. My bad arm met with a rock and pain raced through my side. My back hit the wall hard too, so when the dinosaur lunged at me again, I couldn't move. I screamed.
Then I heard Gohan scream in anger.
"You leave my aunt Katie alone!"
Gohan jumped and kicked the dinosaur in the chin, throwing him back. The dinosaur got up, blinked and lunged at Gohan again. Gohan jumped and the t-rex hit the wall. I got up and moved out of the way just in time. The dinosaur was stunned, but he got up and ran off.
"Take that you dumb reptile! Way to go Gohan! Gohan?" I looked, and Gohan was on top of the cliff, too high for me to even fly with my energy low because of the t-rex head-butt and lame arm.
"Aunt Katie, I'm scared! How did I get up here?""Gohan, I can't come after you, I lost too much energy. Either you get down on your own, or wait until tomorrow."
"But what do I do!"
"I… I don't know…" I said. I sat down below the cliff, "I'll stay close, Gohan!"
Now what do I do?
XxX
The stars were shining brightly as I sat by my little fire. I used my Ki, of course, but it was still cold.
"Hey kid, how's the first day going?" I looked up to see Piccolo floating in the air. He started to lower himself ground level.
"Not so good…" he raised an eyebrow, "Gohan and I were attacked by a t-rex, and now…" I pointed up.
"How'd he get up there?"
"Hidden powers." I sighed.
"Can't you get him?" Piccolo asked.
"No… I'm still too weak." I said, looking up at Gohan. Just then my stomach growled, and I just pulled my knees to my chest.
"You're hungry."
"No."
"I heard that noise, doesn't that mean you mortals are hungry?" he asked.
"I'm not." I growled.
"Okay, fine. I got some apples for you and Gohan, but if you don't really want them." He held out a green apple and I couldn't get my eyes off of it.
"Okay, stop mocking me, give it here." I said, snatching it from him.
Piccolo smirked and sat cross-legged from me. I began to eat the apple. It was sour, but I already knew it would be.
"Gohan didn't like his food." Piccolo said.
"I don't like it, either, but its all there is."
"What about the animals? Surely you could hunt-"
"No."
He raised an eyebrow, but didn't push it. I looked up.
"Damn…" I said, looking away quickly.
"What is it?"
"The moon… damn, you better do something." I said, getting up and trying to spot Gohan.
"What? Why-" he saw it then, it was a full moon.
"Too late!" I spotted Gohan's form changing. I backed off, falling onto my butt over a rock.
"He's… he's changing! Just like- that's what Raditz- and you-""Piccolo, we got to do something! Quick, destroy the moon! Remove his tail! Something!"
Piccolo nodded and jumped into the air. He tried to fight off Gohan, not listening to my advice.
What can I do-"Ahhh!" Gohan's tail hit me, sending me back. I opened my eyes and saw the full moon.
I can't look, Piccolo… needs… help…
I felt the Bluntz Waves, but I fought them back. I couldn't resist.
This is bad…
XxX
"What…?"
My head was throbbing, but my arm was healed. I went to stand up, but I fell back over.
No… my tail…?
I looked back, and sure enough my tail was gone. My clothes were changed now as well. I had a training Gi just like Goku's. I looked over and saw one similar on Gohan, and he had a sword. I had a bow and arrows. The demon sign was on the back and over the heart of our Gi's.
What happened? Did I… transform? Did I become an Oozaru?
I thought back; I remembered. I had changed, and then Piccolo cut off my tail. That was it, all I could remember.
"Piccolo… if you're near enough to hear me, I'm sorry."
I've lost control twice now. What if I hurt Gohan? Or Piccolo?I held my knees again and started to cry once more.
Damn tears…I forced the tears gone and stood up. I looked back at Gohan.
"Sorry, kid, but the risk is too great." I picked up my bow and arrows, then I left, into the woods and away from Gohan.
You'll be okay, kid. I know you can do it.
