I do not own Dragon Ball Z...sadly.
Time was not on this young woman's side. Soon a rein of terror would ruin her life. Yet, as time progressed, she had forgotten her dilemma and of her fears. The troublesome thoughts subsided and the voice quieted at last. Her mind erased the times she had those nightmares. It was as if she never had something troubling her in the first place.
This was the year she was a true woman, in human terms. Although her date of birth was unknown, she was about sixteen in age. Her body changed to fit that age as well.
Her height was one foot less than that of her master's; so her height was about six feet and five inches. Long red hair would normally land on her thighs but she had learned how to braid her hair; so now it reached down to her lower back. Her limbs were long and slender, making her far more graceful than any of her companions. Her elfin years were as big as ever, yet she would seem out of place with out them.
The wardrobe she wore was close to what she wore when she was a girl. Her usual black gi stayed on her, along with her weighted cape, now white. She replaced her skirt, trading it for pants. Her reason was that Yamcha and Roshi kept glancing at her. After a quick 'talk' from Piccolo, and a few snickers from her closest friends, Mori replaced the accursed clothing with her traditional pants.
The alien was a sight to behold. Any friend of Goten's or Trunks' would constantly try to ask her out. Every one would receive a slap to the face and a kick to the groin.
Her companions, Trunks and Goten, changed as well. The Breif child was taller than his old man, if he wasn't already, and looked much like his father as well. He was the same as the future Trunks that the old Z Fighters had met.
Goten had changed as well. He was as tall as his best friend, yet his hair was cut so it didn't look so wild. He was a womanizer, which was the truth. Every young lady the man brought home as a 'girl friend' was not approved by Chi-Chi, Trunks or Mori.
Yes, things were starting to change, and not for the better.
"Mori? Are you even paying attention to me?"
The red haired warrior was leaning on her hand in boredom. She sat at the Brief's table with the Brief's household, plus Goten, for breakfast. Who says they were too young for sleepovers? She lazily glanced over to Trunks, "No, not really. If you didn't have such boring topics, I might even try to act like I was paying attention."
A slight chuckle escaped from the sayian prince and the dimwitted son of Goku. Trunk's scowled at the two before returning his attention back to his childhood friend. He tapped a fork against his plant, "Cold fusion is very interesting! I mean, just think what it could do for people! It could chang..."
Mori interrupted him, "I was right, you are boring."
Goten laughed, "Who ever thinks Trunks is boring raise their hand!" Bulla raised her hand high while standing on her chair. Vegeta raised his hand briefly before devouring his good again. Mori chuckled and raised her hand as well. Trunks huffed in anger and crossed his arms in a pouting manor.
Mori continue to chuckle when a booming voice of her master echoed in her head. 'Mori! Get Vegeta and his family over here now!'
The young warrior knew not question Piccolo. She rose from her chair rapidly. The chatter between everybody stopped when the seriousness of Mori's face appeared. Mori said, "There is an urgent matter to attend to at the Lookout. Piccolo needs us there immediately."
The three sayians dropped their silverware and finished chewing their food. Bulma sighed as she watched the warriors sprint out the door and fly into the sky. She shook her head as she wiped milk off of her daughter's face. She whispered, "Something is terrible wrong, and I fear for them."
The Lookout was in sight only after a few minutes. When they landed, nothing but shock overwhelmed them.
In front of them stood Goku with his idiotic smile. He was laughing at something Krillin or Yamcha had said when he turned his head. A sparkle in high appeared, "Oh wow guys!" He ran up to Goten, "Look how big you have gotten Goten, you look like me!" The two Sons laughed.
Goku placed a hand on Vegeta, "Good you see you again Vegeta. Been a while, hasn't it?" A slight smile appeared on the prince's face and nodded.
Then, the sayian looked over at Mori. His mouth went agape, "Is that you? Mori? Wow! You are taller than me!"
Mori chuckled, "Only by a few inches Goku."
Goku giggled, "I am guessing you are even stronger than before?"
The alien crossed her arms, "Of course. I could wipe you with the floor if I wanted to."
Piccolo walked over to the group, "This is not the time for greetings. By the way, if you are wondering why Goku is here it is because the old hag brought him back. So we are very short on time."
Vegeta crossed his arms, "What is this all about?"
An aggravating voice echoed through their heads, "There is something attacking new planet Namek. The enemy there is intensely strong, I don't know what it is." The prince scoffed but let the bug continue. "Four of you need to go there quickly to stop it. If it isn't stopped before then, it could very well head towards Earth."
Gohan, who stood behind Goku, asked, "Why only four?"
Goku replied, "I can only carry three other people when I use instant transmission."
Trunks looked at the old Z fighters and the new ones. He asked, "Well, who is going then?"
Mori stood forward, "I will go!"
Piccolo sneered, "No. You are not going."
The teen was taken back. Never before has her mentor told her not to fight. Confusion and rage swirled in her body. She yelled, "Why not? I am stronger than the rest of you! I could totally..."
"No!" Piccolo was staring down at his charge, "You will not go. You, Trunks and Goten will stay here. You three are the youth and would be the best to protect Earth. Since you are the strongest being on Earth, you will be the protector of it. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and I will go to Namek." The others watched in awe as the two fought back and fourth.
Mori eyes had fire in them, "The one chance to actually fight an enemy and you won't let me go! Didn't you promise that once a threat came that you would let me fight them? I know why you don't want me go! You don't want me to show you up!"
Piccolo's patience has risen to the top and now he had none left. He raised his hand and had hit her with out training for the first time in his life. The talking was done between the crowds around them.
The student and teacher looked at each other's eyes. Piccolo was shocked at what he had just done to Mori.
Mori stood with tears in her eyes as the stinging sensation on her cheek rose. Piccolo had never raised a hand against her without it leading to a sparring match. Soon her shock had turned to loathing. She walked away from her teacher, keeping a distance away from him. A tear fell down her cheek, breaking Piccolo's heart.
He made her cry.
Mori whispered, "I. Hate. You." She blasted off into the sky, flying as fast as her kai would allow her.
Piccolo wanted to after, to apologize, but Goku grabbed his gi gently. Goku said awkwardly, "Come on Piccolo, I don't have much time."
Tears flew behind her as Mori flew away from the Lookout. She flew until she landed on a mountain with no plant in sight in a mountain range she did not know. She found a cave from above and slowly descended down. She hid her power level as her foot steps echoed in the large cave.
She walked over to a wall, slumped against it and slid down to the floor of the cave. She brought her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Soft sobs echoed around her.
Finally, a voice she hopped was gone, appeared, "Poor child, finally finding out that there is not such thing as love. The poor thing has little self control." The demon's voice was muffled by her sobs. The demon chuckled, "That is right, my dear, let it out. I shall keep you company."
The demon was finally heard. Mori yelled, "Go! Leave me alone!"
The thing laughed, "My dear, let your darkest side control your mind. I will rid you of the pain in your heart."
Mori shook her head, "No no ahhh!"
A pain in her temple caused the girl to scream in agony. She clutched her skull as her nails dug into her scalp; causing blood to trickle down to her cheek, mixing with her tears. "No! Ahhh! Stop no! AHHHHHHH!"
Ah-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!
I decided to just skip to the plot.
My brother came up with the idea that something was attacking Namek. I needed something to get Mori's weaknesses down. Oh, in the future chapters, most of the ideas will be my brothers. He is fricken awesome!
