The Stranger
The venomous storm flared on but for some reason it lessened its grip. The rain instead of beating the ground senselessly, decreased in volume letting the droplets of water drift in mourning. Lightning and thunder halted and the inevitable silence followed with the exception for a desperate plea from a certain teenager. For what seemed like the first in months the sky cleared of storm clouds as if to show pity upon the girl.
Videl with all her might struggled to no end. Shifting in every position possible to free herself, but to no avail. Before the leader got any closer, the man behind her strengthened his grasp rendering her immobilized. "If I ever get out of this I'm going to beat the living shit out of these punks for killing Davis!" she mentally scoffed. And now with the prospect of getting raped, it seemed her day wasn't going to get any better.
As the leader closed in the gap with that hideous up smirk of his, Videl could only shut her eyes and wait for the worse hoping to Kami to forgive her sins and bad judgments in the past.
"Please anyone! Help me." she screamed desperately as loud as possible but it only came out muffled. Tears continuously welled up and streamed down her face. It was at that moment that she felt her pants along with her panties getting pulled off. Eyes widening considerably with a last ditch effort and with all strength, she yelled for dear life struggling and shaking frantically.
"There aren't anybody here to help you missy, so I suggest you enjoy the ride." Grinning like a madman, the tall man advanced closer and closer till she felt his breath on her.
"Open wide bitch, this one's going to be wild!"
"Mom, dad I hope you don't have to see this..." she shamefully whispered.
Strangely enough nothing came, but a streak of blue blinding light. She couldn't tell what it was with her eyes shut so tightly, but managed to see a glint of blue. Storing it in the back of mind for later investigation, she opened her cerulean eyes hesitantly and was flabbergasted. Sprawled on a car 15 feet away was the leader with blood pooling from his head with a hole threw his stomach. The three men looked devastated and confused.
"Hey what gives? What the hell just happened?" shouted the man from behind who quickly let go of Videl and ran to the seemly unconscious leader. Feeling for a pulse, he paled when nothing but more blood gushed out from the leader's mouth. Turning back swiftly, he marched sternly over to Videl.
"What the fuck are you trying to pull, bitch?" he demanded with a menacing scowl.
"The hell makes you think I did anything?" Videl fired back equally confused. The man who had silenced her was now in plain sight. Noticing him more clearly, he was almost a replica of the leader except with rolled up sleeves and a scar running through his right cheek.
"I'm gonna teach you what happens when you mess with the Black Vipers!" yelled the man before sending a punch fixated to her face. But stopped instantly once he saw what was behind her.
With his mouth agape and pointing like a madman, "What the fuck is that!?" was all he could conjuncture up before he too was sent to the same fate as his leader.
This time Videl saw the blinding blue light hit its target sending the man who just threatened her mere moments ago, into a store. He was stabbed from the behind by a sharp pole that rested upon a slab of debris jutting out inside the store. Twitching a few times with blood oozing out, he twitched a few more times before his body went limp.
"Leave her alone", a deep dark voice demanded from behind her. Releasing Videl, they whipped out their guns and shot mercilessly at the freak grinning that it was hitting him. However they paled as they saw the bullets literally bounce harmlessly off the stranger. Like lightening, he flew towards the fat man embedding his fist into the fat man's face launching him towards a wall.
Using the momentum he whipped around and ki blasted the skinny man in the mouth. Noticing that her hands were free, she hurriedly grabbed for her pants. Then she observed the damage, her two captives met the same fate as the previous with the fat man's face embedded into a wall while the skinny man laid in pieces, his head nowhere to be found.
Instinctively she turned around to see her savior only to watch as a charcoal haired teenager about her age in shredded clothes suddenly collapse hard onto the floor with a thump.
Worried Videl ran to her savior to find him sprawled out in a coma-like-state. It seemed as if he was dead by the overwhelming flow of blood gushing out of the countless wounds. Kneeling down to feel a pulse, she was relieved to feel a heart beat but very a faint.
Glancing at her watch she mentally cursed when she saw 9:50 PM displayed. "Dad's gonna kill me if I come back late again…." she sighed.
"No, I don't care! I can't let this man die, not like Davis…"
Looking around quickly she spotted a metal roof lying around near a demolished flipped car that now rested against a light post. Conveniently there were wires hanging down from it. Dragging the roof and wires back to the stranger, she hurriedly tried to push the body onto the metal roof with no such luck.
"Jeez what the hell do you eat" she mumbled in frustration before trying again but only to gain a moan from the man.
"Well let's see if this works…." Putting both hands under his back, she tried to lift the massive body.
"No, don't!" the man all but screamed twitchingly. Videl shot back and froze dead in her tracks. But to her utter delight he managed to move himself onto the metallic surface while rolling over.
Surveying his pulse once again she confirmed that he was still unconscious but very much alive. She began tying the cable around the man before turning to her watch. Pressing a few buttons on her watch, communications was immediately established. However it was spastic at best, nonetheless Videl was grateful that it was not damaged by her encounter with the men.
"Chief, I need medical attention at Site 98, pronto!" Videl demanded trying to seem collected while shuffling uneasily.
"I'm sorry Videl, but a medical van just left, you're gonna have to wait awhile" the watch replied nervously.
"Well hurry up! I don't care what it takes, we got a man on critical health and a gunned down agent", she all but yelled. And with that she shut off communications peremptorily.
"Figures..." she thought, "When I need them they can't come and when I don't need em they come racing over." Crossing her arms she began seething. Drumming her fingers impatiently she thought the boredom would kill her. Taking a glance at the still body, she examined the man for the first time in detail.
But she couldn't make out any features with the blood splattered everywhere. Her hands trembled at the sight of so much blood. So badly was she shaking that she didn't know where to start first. For Kami's sake, she could have sworn that he was dead by the large amounts of blood that now surrounded him in a puddle. Taking out a capsule, she clicked it revealing a first aid kit.
Wrapping a cloth around each wound and utilizing safety pins, she continued professionally with a courageous face to work as diligently and delicately as possible. Trying to patch up any other wounds that were starting to become infected, she ignored the huge one near his stomach. The man strained his face in discomfort but kept silent. Videl almost vomited when she looked more closely at the man's face.
It seemed like his face was nearly ripped off with flesh hanging everywhere. It was not even intact. It was barely recognizable not to mention that it hardly resembled a face at all. Melted nearly to the bone, it was horrific if nothing else. Trying to compose herself she looked anywhere but his face.
Gently with quick precision, she finished the rather gruesome job standing up but had to suppress a chuckle at the hilarious way he looked with all the bandages. "Don't you look nice and cozy" she remarked with a smile. Then she examined a desirable question, "What could've happened to this man that got him like this" she mentally questioned.
"I'll ask him when he wakes up" she unconsciously answered her own question. Then she moved over to the agent and slowly leaned in. She put her head on the man's chest and whispered apologies before hauling him over to the stranger.
"I can't believe I let an agent take the hit for me…" Videl eyed his closed eyelids. "It should've been me, Davis, ME!"
Looking away sadly, she locked eyes on the new man. She couldn't help Davis, but she be damned if she couldn't help this man say alive.
Then she noticed the amulet he was holding so firmly. Even though it was broad daylight, she could see the blue topaz sparkle with life illuminating a light, so pure and alluring.
She went for it slowly but was interrupted by the arrival of a vehicle halting with a screech. "Finally..." she huffed "took them long enough." Arriving after half an hour did not brighten her demeanor, forgetting about the amulet she marched over to the ambulance. Paramedics quickly rushed out and with much difficulty lifted the unconscious man into the back followed by Videl.
"The hell took you guys took so long" she blared sending chills down their spine. "He could've died for Kami's sake", Videl hollered giving them an earful of her mind.
"We're sorry Miss Videl for the inconveniency but apparently we found a group of injured people" a paramedic replied uneasily while quick at work. She let it slide and the rest of the ride to the hospital was enveloped in complete silence.
"The way he shot those beams…it was just like those androids…" Videl glanced at her savior. "It almost seems he was one of them…"
Shaking her head at her conclusive statement. "But I've never seen him before with those monsters…"
Looking to his individual wounds again, she let her mind take this stranger in. "Maybe he's an android in disguise…but that wouldn't explain why he helped me…"
"Grr, I don't understand you! How were you able to shoot down those men with beams? And what about that levitation!? You strange, strange boy…"
As the safe zone came into view, the paramedics rapidly got out and with all their might pushed the unruly haired teenager off the metallic roof and onto the stretcher racing to the medic area followed heatedly by Videl.

Scrambling between machines and appliances the doctor and nurses got right to work putting a stabilizer and checking his pulse. After a while everything seemed to wind down with the man's heart beeping at normal level and his vitals all stable.
Videl being shooed away by the doctors and nurses could only watch helplessly outside the window. "Hang in there." she whispered concerned placing a hand on the glass window.
Pacing back and forth, Videl's mind ran on overload as every now and then she'd peep in the room.
I wonder who that guy is…..Videl questioned biting her gloved mitt. I mean he was just lying there…I wonder for how long…but the important thing was how was he zapping those people? And what were those blue lights!?
Plopping down and crossing her arms in frustration, she glared at anyone that passed her. There were just too many questions she had. It drove her mad not knowing anything and being kept in the dark.
"It's best to just wait and ask…." She murmured leaning her head on the wall and studying the patterns.
It was not until 3 hours later that the doctor finally emerged out of the room with blood staining his white coat. Sitting down next to the girl, Videl woke up instantly at the presence.
"So what's the report Doc? Videl immediately interrogated wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"I'm sorry you had to wait so long Miss, but it seems that man will be stable for the duration of the time. And nothing seems to be the problem except that he is still in a coma. You may see him if you wish." With that said he exited without another word. Videl peeked in the room only to gawk at the amount of blood on the floor.
It was like straight from a horror movie, too explicit and unwelcoming.
She walked slowly but stiffly towards the bed where the man with unruly hair lay. He seemed calm but she knew that it wasn't the case because of seriousness of his face. The only sound heard was the humming of the machines and the thumping of her heart. It was just a long day and she was exhausted.
Pulling up a chair and plopping onto it, she continuously stared. "I wonder who his real identity is, and why his eyes were blue, and what's with the amulet..." blabbering on and on about the numerous questions she wanted to ask him. But her thoughts were cut short.
All at once the machines rattled insanely, the heart pulse device fluctuating surreal numbers, going off the charts. His body was shaking feverishly and his face contorted from in pain; tears streaming down his stricken face.
Doctors and nurses rushed in checking all the appliances only to become overwhelmed with the results. It was total chaos with people running around trying to find the cause.
"Noooooooooooooooo", the patient yelled, sitting up and grabbing his hair tightly with his hands shaking his head vigorously. Then suddenly freezing, he fell silent and limply fell back onto the bed. It was quiet as everyone eyed the patient uneasily.
That was until the inevitable sound that caused everyone to erupt into panic: the single sound of no pulse.
