Chapter 10
New Allies?
As they stood there they heard someone coming, Van and Allen were in attack positions of course. When the person came into the living room she stopped when she saw them.
"Who…who are you?" She asked. "I'm Hitomi and this is Van and these are our friends Allen, Millerna, Dryden, Merle, Gatez, and the crusade. I'm sorry if we startled you." Hitomi said. "Well I guess it's okay, by the way my name's Bulma." Bulma said. When the introductions were over, some other people came before Hitomi could explain. "Well this is a surprise, I thought you'd still be in training Goku." Bulma said. Just then Goku saw some people in the living room. "Where's Gohan?" Bulma asked. "Chi Chi's making him hit the books a lot and he's making up for all those days when we were on Namek. By the way Bulma, who are they?" Goku asked. "Well I only know their names at the moment." Bulma said. "What are their names?" Goku asked. "That's Hitomi, Van, Millerna, Allen, Dryden, Merle, Gatez, and the crusade." Bulma said, pointing to each of them.
Goku started walking toward them and said "Hi, I'm Goku." While his hand was up ( AN: kinda like when you're waving to someone.) "Hi Goku." Hitomi said. "Where are you guys from? You don't look like you're from around here." Goku said. "Should I tell him where you're from?" Hitomi asked, turning to the others. "Ya, why not." Merle said. She could see that the others agreed with her. "Okay, they're from the planet Gaea and I'm from the Earth, and from the looks of it I'm from the past." Hitomi explained. "Wow, but if you're from the past why are you here?" Goku asked. Hitomi paused for a little bit and then said "I'm here because of what's happened in my era, I need to train." Goku could see the pain in her eyes and when he looked at her friends they looked sad. "I know some people who can train you Hitomi." Goku said.
"I'll go contact Krillin and tell him to bring the others." Bulma said. "Good idea. I'll see if Gohan will be able to come too. Did you wanna come Hitomi?" Goku asked. "Well I do need to get to know this place a little better. Would you guys be okay with staying here?" Hitomi asked. They nodded yes. "You all can stay here for as long as you need to." Bulma said. "We appreciate it." Millerna said. Then Bulma went to the phone and called Krillin.
On the phone
Master Roshi: Kami House.
Bulma: Tell Krillin to get the others.
Master Roshi: Okay. Why?
Bulma: Well you'll find out, why, when Goku gets there.
Master Roshi: Okay. Hold on a second.
Away from phone
"Krillin, go get the others. Goku's called a meeting." Master Roshi said. "Why, is there trouble?" Krillin asked. "Bulma didn't say much, she just said we'll find out, why, when Goku gets here." Master Roshi said.
Phone hung up
Then Krillin got off the couch and went outside to the front and began to concentrate, and soon he was able to talk to his friends telepathically. "Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Vegeta, Chiaotzu. Goku wants us all to meet at Master Roshi's, but he didn't say why though." Krillin said.
Somewhere
'Well Kakarot, perhaps now we can finally continue our battle, and this time I will win.' Vegeta thought. Meanwhile, Piccolo was preparing to leave Korin Tower, Tien and Chiaotzu were already on their way, and Yamacha and Puar were also on their way.
Meanwhile at Capsule Corp :
"I can teleport you to the island, but I'll need to go to the house first to get Gohan okay?" Goku asked. "Okay." Hitomi said. "In order for you to come and not get left behind you can put your hand on my shoulder. That's the only way you'll be able to come." Goku said. Hitomi did as she was told and then Goku put two fingers on his forehead and then disappeared. They stood there looking dumfounded, except Bulma.
At Goku's house :
And then they reappeared inside Goku's house.
"Goku, what did you just do?" Hitomi asked in confusion. "Instant Transmission." Goku said. "Instant - what?" Hitomi asked. "Instant Transmission." Goku said. "What's that?" Hitomi asked. "It gives you the ability to teleport." Goku explained. Just then Gohan and Chi Chi came down stairs. "Goku, where have you been?" Chi Chi asked. "Well, I went to Bulma's to see if Krillin and Yamcha were there, so we could train, but they weren't. Then I met some people." Goku explained. Then Chi Chi saw a young teenage girl with sandy colored hair and green emerald eyes standing behind him. "Hello, who are you?" Chi Chi asked. "Hi, I'm Hitomi, Hiomi Kanzaki." Hitomi said. "Chi Chi, we're all meeting at Master Roshi's island and we need Gohan there too, so can he come?" Goku asked. Then Chi Chi gave him a glare and he took a step back. "Absolutely NOT!! Gohan missed out on a lot of his education while he was on that little escapade on Namek with you all!!" Chi Chi yelled. "But, it's really important." Goku pleaded.
"What's important dad?" Gohan asked. "Well, maybe I should let Hitomi give you a short explanation about this." Goku said. "Okay, Hitomi I want an explanation now." Chi Chi demanded. "Well, okay, something horrible is happening in my era and I've been sent here to train in hopes that I'll be able to save my world." Hitomi explained. Just then her communicator began beeping and so she took it out of her pocket, but it stopped and then she put it back in her pocket. "Aren't you going to answer that?" Gohan asked. Hitomi shook her head and said "I'll answer it when we get to the island." "Well, I guess Gohan can go, under one condition, when you get back you're gonna be hitting the books mister!!" Chi Chi said. "Alright, thanks mom!" Gohan said happily. "Okay, is everyone ready to go?" Goku asked cheerfully. Hitomi and Gohan nodded their heads. And in a flash they were at Master Roshi's house.
At Master Roshi's :
"Hey guys, we're here." Goku said.
They looked up and saw Goku, Gohan, and a teenager standing in the door way.
"Who are you?" Krillin asked. "This is Hitomi, she's from the past. Right?" Goku asked. "Yes, that's right." Hitomi said. "Oh, so I guess that's why we're having this meeting." Tien said. Goku nodded. "Hitomi this is Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Vegeta." Goku said. "It's nice to meet you all." Hitomi said. "Oh, Goku, Bulma just called and said she's bringing some of her friends." Yamcha said. Then Goku looked at Hitomi and asked "Didn't you say you were going to answer that thing when you came here?" Then Hitomi took out her communicator and said "Mend and Defend." "Um, why did you say that?" Krillin asked. "It's voice activated." Hitomi explained. "Ohhh." Krillin said. Just then a hologram appeared and it was a message from Sailor Earth.
Message:
Hitomi, listen, Magnous has somehow escaped, I don't know how but I do have a theory, while he was sealed his power must have gotten stronger and more advanced, however, I seriously believe it's true because no other enemy I've ever faced has been able to escape that. I don't know where Amono, Yukari, and your family are as of now but I promise you I'll keep searching. The images you are now seeing are pieces of your hometown. You now have 5 months to train and prepare. Goodbye and good luck.
As Hitomi was looking at the images in front of her, she fell backward in shock, and fortunately the couch was behind her.
"Are you alright?" Yamcha asked. "He has…destroyed Tokyo completely, there isn't any sign of life in those images. If she finds them it will be a miracle." Hitomi said in a sad tone. "You mean that's your era?" Piccolo asked. "Yes." Hitomi replied. "What did she mean when she said, Magnous has somehow escaped?" Goku asked. "Well, when I left the Earth he was still after me, and until he's killed me I don't think he'll ever give up." Hitomi said. "I see, but what about your family?" Krillin asked. All Hitomi said was " I don't know…" They could tell something was troubling her. Then the door opened again and Bulma and Hitomi's friends were coming in.
"Hey guys, sorry we're late but the hover car needed gas plus traffic was bad. Huh, why's everyone so quiet?" Bulma asked. Then as usual Vegeta added his two sense in. "Why are shedding tears for people who might not even be dead?" Vegeta asked in his usual careless tone. "Because it's getting harder and harder for me to believe that they're alive. I want to believe they're alive but I just don't think I can." Hitomi said, while tears were streaming down her face. "That was really cold Vegeta! How could you say that?" Goku asked. "Simple. It's not my problem Kakarot." Vegeta said. "Even so, you could be a little more considerate." Tien said. "Don't pay any attention to Vegeta, he's always like that." Yamcha said.
Then Bulma and company walked to where the others were.
"What's wrong Hitomi?" Allen asked. "Can you train me? I'll do whatever I have to do…please. I don't want anymore people to die because of me." Hitomi said in a low voice. "Sure, we'll train you, but promise us two things." Goku said. "Uh, okay." Hitomi agreed. "Okay, 1. Let us come with you and bring the Dragon Balls, and 2. Promise that you'll defeat him." Goku said. "I promise I will, but if you come with me you must promise that you won't interfere and that goes for the rest of you too. This is strictly between me and him." Hitomi said commandingly. "I'm sorry, but we can't do that." Piccolo said. "Then I've no choice, I can't let you…." Hitomi was cutoff. "Hitomi, stop and think, if they go with you then they can protect." Van said.
"No. You're only saying that because you want me to live. Fate will decide whether I live or die. However, I will let them come for the one reason that they protect all of you." Hitomi said. When it was decided Hitomi went to the back of the island and just sat there looking at the sea and feeling the fresh breeze touch her face. "It's hard to believe this is the future. It looks different in so many ways, hover cars, space pods, capsules that store things and then open when the top gets pressed, a green man that looks like an alien, objects called Dragon Balls, and animals that walk and talk like humans." Hitomi said. "Hey Hitomi, what're you doing here?" Krillin asked. Then Hitomi turned her head and said "Nothing much, just thinking, I've had a lot of things on my mind lately and I'm still figuring other things out too." Hitomi said. "Oh, okay, well, see you later." Krillin said.
1 Hour later:
Hitomi was walking back inside in the house.
"Well, I guess you like looking at the ocean." Bulma said. "Yeah it helps me relax." Hitomi said. As the others were coming back into the living room they saw a strange look on Hitomi's face. Her face went pale, her eyes became dilated, and then she passed out. They ran to see if she was alright. "Hitomi, are you alright! Can you hear me, wake up!" Van yelled. But it was in vein.
What has happened to Hitomi, and will they be able to wake her? What is the cause of this dramatic affect?
