Myshel sighed once again and shrugged towards Rejhan. "Well, if whoever is doing this truly is after the Saiyajins? Wouldn't that mean that he would come after you and I, too?"
Rejhan thought a moment. "Yeah, I guess that would mean they would come after us as well, but it doesn't make sense. My parents try their very hardest to make sure that I don't fight, so I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't, let's say, 'qualify' as a Saiyajin. You, well, even you yourself just found out that you were a Saiyajin. Since your mother died early, and your father obviously didn't say anything, I doubt that anyone anywhere even knows that you're a Saiyajin. But, that would leave..."
Both Rejhan and Myshel looked up and out into the starry night sky with wide eyes. Neither of them had noticed the small ki that kept steadily approaching their position, until that very moment.
"Gohan," they both said in unison.
Leaping into the air, they both threw their caution to the wind and sped off towards the upcoming ki. Myshel shot a quick glance at Rejhan, but Rejhan was staring straight ahead, a look of determination plastered on her face. 'Sibling love,' she thought, smiling gently to herself. 'I envy her...'
………………………………….
Gohan put on a burst of speed as he felt Myshel and Rejhan's ki flare up again. This definitely confirmed the fact that both Rejhan and Myshel could fly. But how? Why? Ki manipulation wasn't exactly a walk in the park for someone untrained in it, and Rejhan didn't train. Or did she? The evidence tonight clearly suggested otherwise. And, if Myshel and Rejhan didn't meet at school, how did they meet in the first place? Ok, ok, so there are plenty of explanations for that...
Gohan kept right on flying, following his twin and her friend's ki signatures. Between his own thoughts and concentration, he didn't notice the black-cloaked figure tailing him, keeping his distance from the teenaged demi-Saiyajin. The figure was quietly contemplating the task ahead of him, and if it went as smoothly as his last four, he should have no problem.
Pulling off to the left, the cloaked figure touched down on the ground, and crouched into somewhat of a power-up stance. A purple-black aura faded into view slowly, before exploding in pure power. The black-cloaked figure violently raised his ki, knowing full well that it was something that Gohan could not ignore.
He was most definitely right.
Gohan halted instantly in the air and spun around, staring off into the distance. 'Damn, that does NOT feel nice...' Gohan thought to himself, before blasting back in the direction that he had come from. 'Rej and Myshel are going to have to wait.'
………………………………………
Myshel and Rejhan skidded to a stop in midair and stared ahead. "That's one hell of a ki signature," Myshel said, her blue eyes sparkling in the moonlight. Rejhan nodded her agreement. Nodding to each other, they both took off faster than before towards the rising ki.
Moments later, a second ki joined the first, along with a faint battle cry in the distance. The new ki was very, very familiar.
"GOHAN!" Rejhan screamed. She powered up and shot forward at full speed, forgetting that she was supposed to be keeping her ki down. The light blue trail of energy wound off into the distance, and Myshel powered up, speeding after her friend.
Rejhan pulled up in the area that she last felt her brother's ki, and frantically looked around, searching for any sign of his whereabouts or clues to whom else had been there. Myshel pulled up behind her, watching her carefully. She didn't want to say anything, but she knew it was too late. Gohan was gone, subject to the same person who had taken Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and Goku as well.
"He HAS to be here somewhere! Come on Gohan, where are you...?" Rejhan said to herself as she continued her frantic search of the surrounding area for her twin brother. She landed and began to scurry around in the area. Myshel landed and stood calmly, unwilling to speak up, but deep inside, she knew she had to.
"Rejhan, he's gone."
"No he's not."
"Rej, I can't feel his ki anymore."
"That's because he's really good at hiding ki."
"He's not here, Rejhan, you're going to have to accept that."
Rejhan fell to the ground in a sitting position, looking around with a lost and confused look upon her face. She was fighting back tears, unwilling to let Myshel see her cry. Myshel knelt next to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. No words came from her mouth, but Rejhan turned and hugged Myshel tight, finally letting the tears come. Myshel did her best to comfort the only true friend she'd ever had.
It was a little while until the two girls separated, and Myshel wiped the tears from Rejhan's face. Taking a deep breath, Myshel sighed.
"I think it's time that our little secret came out of its hiding place."
Rejhan nodded. "I'll get my mom, we'll meet back at Capsule Corp."
………………………………
Myshel burst through the front door of Capsule Corp. and looked around. Bolting towards her room, she threw open her door and snatched a little diagram from the nightstand that she had drawn up for herself to find her way around the huge complex. After a quick look, she located Bulma's room and shot back into the hallway. It didn't take long for her to find the room and quickly but silently open the door. Stepping inside quickly, she noticed that Bulma had fallen asleep in the rocking chair in the corner; a picture frame in her lap. Moving over to her, Myshel gently shook the blue-haired genius awake.
"Vegeta...Trunks...huh?" Bulma said groggily, rousing from her dream.
"Bulma, I'm sorry to wake you, but Rejhan and I have something to talk to you and Chichi about," Myshel said sternly, picking up the picture frame; a cute little snapshot of the Briefs family together, and placing it back on the table beside the chair.
"Can't this wait till morning?"
"No, Bulma, it can't."
………………………………..
Rejhan stepped cautiously into her mother's room and inched her way towards the bed. Chichi lay fast asleep on a damp pillow; an obvious sign that she had indeed cried herself to sleep that night. Swallowing, Rejhan nudged her mother slightly.
"Mom, hey mom..." she said quietly. Faint murmurs were all she got in response. Rejhan tried again.
"Mom, you have to wake up, it's me Rejhan."
"What do you want...?"
"Mom, you need to get up and come with me. There are lots of things we need to talk about."
Chichi rubbed her eyes only to glare at her only daughter. "Things that we will talk about in the morning." With that, she promptly turned over and went back to sleep. Taking a deep breath, Rejhan said the only thing that she knew would get her mother's attention.
"Gohan's gone."
It was as if Rejhan had lit a match and shoved it under her mother's backside, because Chichi shot straight up in bed, eyes wide with anger and fear.
"MY GOHAN IS GONE! WHO TOOK HIM! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT FILTHY..."
"MOM! You have to come with me, there is something that it's about time you knew about."
…………………………………..
Bulma and Chichi sat on the couch in the Capsule Corp. living room, staring at the two young women standing in front of them. Rejhan and Myshel stood next to each other, staring at the ground as they contemplated how to break the news to the older women in front of them.
"Ok, Rejhan, Myshel, you got us out of bed, what do you have to tell us?" Bulma asked, somewhat angrily. Rejhan looked at Myshel, and Myshel at Rejhan, and they both sighed. Myshel nodded towards Rejhan, and she started talking.
"First of all, Gohan is gone. He's disappeared just as Trunks, Goten, Dad, and Vegeta have. Someone, or something, has kidnapped them. We don't know where they are, or who has taken them, but one thing is for certain. Whoever or whatever it is targeted and captured what they believed to be the only fighting Saiyajins left."
Chichi and Bulma gave Rejhan a funny look, and Myshel fidgeted uneasily. Chichi decided to open her mouth first.
"What do you mean, 'what they believed,' Rej, that doesn't make any sense. They ARE the only fighting Saiyajins left in the universe, right?"
"Wrong," Myshel said. Chichi looked to Myshel with confusion written all over her face.
"Excuse me, young lady, but the only other Saiyajin in existence is Rejhan, and I've made perfectly sure that she doesn't fight," Chichi said firmly, a smirk appearing on her tired face. Rejhan cleared her throat, fidgeting slight as she did so.
"Not...exactly."
Chichi could do nothing but stare. "Go on..." she said in a dangerous voice.
"My morning runs and walks through the mountains have been a bit more for a while now, Mom. I've been training behind everyone's backs. I've always felt left out, and I decided to take things into my own hands."
"But she hasn't been alone," Myshel continued. "Bulma, the reason Rejhan dragged me in to talk to Vegeta that day was to confirm the fact that I am, indeed, half-Saiyajin like Rejhan, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are. My mother was an elite Saiyajin that survived the destruction of Vegetasei, only to die giving birth to me. I've been on my own for a great portion of my life, as my father wasn't too great a parent. I met Rejhan when I was out training in a little valley secluded in the mountains. We've been training together for a few weeks."
"I know you are probably mad, but now isn't the time. Bulma, the fact that I've had to train myself has allowed me to come up with a special ki ability. I need you to help me use it to find where they took everyone," Rejhan finished. Myshel and Rejhan each took a deep breath, and stared at the women in front of them, bracing themselves for whatever reaction would hit them.
Hey everyone! I know this is quite sudden, but the fact that Rejhan didn't have a computer to work on gave us both a lot of time to think about what we wanted to do with our next chapters. Therefore, when she got her computer, we put our ideas to the digital-paper right away. Hence the quick updates.
Rejhan's got the next chapter, hope you enjoyed this one!
