Supergirl Z: The Growth and Maturation of a Superhero
Disclaimer: "Hello my name is Beerus the God of Destruction of the 7th universe here to tell you that superspeeder doesn't own Supergirl or Dragon Ball! They belong to their respective owners; if you don't believe me I'll destroy Earth as the consequences. Trust me you don't want to make the God of Destruction angry. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and get some more pizza, Goku and Vegeta have ate all of the boxes Whis gave them in the realm I send them to control their God form…"
Me: As tempting as that idea sounds Sage Broly will not be making an appearance in this story beyond Trunks' memories of the fight. Besides who would want to revive a psychotic saiyan that hates Goku? I will say though that a Broly like character will be involved in this story-to be more specific a certain movie involving a certain Kryptonian, an anti-hero with all sorts of gizmos that has a beef with said Kryptonian and a woman who is on another realm of strength-in a twist of the beloved hero Goku. That's all I'm going to say on the matter so don't spoil it if you know what I'm talking about! Anyways onwards and yon wards!
Last time on Dragon Girl Z, Kara and Trunks admitted their love and now are a couple! However, it was not all happy as Astra revealed that her army was about to attack and far off in the future a voice cries that what they are battling are nothing! What could all of this mean? Find out RIGHT NOW ON Dragon GIRL Z!
Chapter 15 GIFT Act I;Identities revealed!
While Astra's army was preparing for a massive attack on the city, the voice that had spoken said that those threats were mere child's play. "I hope that Trunks didn't hear my message" it sighed before turning away; at that moment a younger voice asked "what's the matter?" She gave a sad smile before answering "just reminiscing and looking into the past...Alice Briefs". The girl gave Pan a sad smile in return before musing "well as bad as things might be, you always said they could be worse". "You can say that again" Pan agreed as she looked at the child of her mentor...and Supergirl(A/N surprise!); Alice 'Alura' Briefs was the answer to bringing peace once more. Now you'll ask what happened to disrupt the peace; Baby and Omega and the both of them killed Vegeta, Gohan, Superman and Kara and Trunks themselves. I know you will ask how can a Baby and an Omega disrupt the peace well the answer lies in the details; Baby was the last of the Tuffles created genetically superior life forms, parasite-like organisms, which they infused with the DNA of the Tuffle King. These organisms were spread throughout the universe around Age 730, with the overall goal to destroy the Saiyans in revenge for the destruction of the Tuffles by King Vegeta and his Saiyan forces(Dragon Ball Wiki Baby). Now you will ask okay but why did Baby kill Kara given that Baby was a Saiyan enemy well the answer to that lies in history.
During the Saiyan-Tuffle war, the Tuffles frequently send Saiyans they had captured as slaves to certain allies of a high ranking monarchy. However with the Saiyans slowly making gains over the duration of 10 years, the Tuffles found their forces began to stretch dangerously thin. They send word to the Kryptonians(since they along with the Green Martians were one of the major powers of the galaxy) to help them. Instead of help, the Kryptonians send back a coldly worded message that the Tuffles were getting their comeuppance for treating the Saiyans like dirt as well as an unnerving prophecy the Kandorians added that implied their demise was coming soon. The day they got the message, the Tuffle King made Kryptonians their enemies as well but that night the moon rose over Planet Plant(the first time in a hundred years) enabling the saiyans to win the war and fulfilling the Kandorian prophecy. History was about to be rocked in dramatic fashion and it all began with the fight with Astra's army.
Astra decided to repay the kindness Kara showed to her by betraying her husband by killing him. After Kara wholehearted forgave her, she asked if her aunt would want to live with her on Earth. Astra decided instead to pay penitence for what she had done by living in exile on the moon but she did agree that if Kara ever needed her she would be there. Afterwards, Earth was at peace and Kara never learned the truth about John's double identity as Hank Henshaw until the day Baby killed her but I(as the author) am getting ahead of myself. What happened next affected Kara for Cat Grant found out she was Supergirl and fired her. This also affected Winn who (unable to hide his feelings any longer for her), decided to prove himself to Kara by joining his criminal father and he confessed to Kara he loved her. Kara only knew that she felt friendship towards him but this(along with his betrayal) ended the friendship they had and the potential feelings Pan could've developed for him were caused a media stir that was only matched by the aftermath of the Cell Games(and later Buu) in the universe Trunks had saved. Bulma was forced to sever connections to the Queen of all media and made Kara work as a reporter for Capsule Corps. She still saved National City as Supergirl but Kara's life was no longer tethered to it. James Olsen still had feelings for Kara but Lucy gained tighter reigns over him because of his friendship to Supergirl and also because Cat had leaked Kara's identity to the US military.
Trunks and Kara were wed in secret with only their family, Alex and Hank as witnesses to the event because Kara's identity was known to Cat and the media. Before the wedding, Trunks told her about his adventures traveling in time and the Dragon Balls. Naturally Kara was upset that Trunks had the means of undoing Krypton's destruction but Gohan set her straight by telling her that in the hands of dangerous foes like Maxwell Lord, the Dragon Balls would be used to depower her permanently. Furthermore, the hybrid informed her that Kara changing Krypton's destruction would also change her history now. That made Kara realize that although Krypton would always be in her heart, she loved being Supergirl and inspiring the people of National City to hope. It was this realization that Kara tearfully begged Trunks to forgive her for the harsh words she had said when he had told of this. "There's nothing to forgive Kara" he had told her "you just needed time to digest and think about the implications of what changing the past and restoring Krypton would do" which made her fall in love with him all over again.
Even though she was called a trickster by Cat, the people of National City still adored Supergirl and her and Gold Fighter became the "duo of justice"(as Bulla lovingly dubbed it). Naturally she also asked Kara about the potential for offspring with her brother and begged her father(and Piccolo) to look into it. They concluded that although Saiyan DNA was malleable, Kara was infertile so it came as a shock to everyone when 4 years later, the Kryptonian revealed to everyone she was pregnant. Nobody(not even Superman himself) could explain how it was possible but Trunks regarded his wife's conception as a miracle. Although Trunks was nervous at becoming a dad(because the androids made him grow up so quickly) he looked forward to it and wondered if Saiyan, Kryptonian or human DNA would be dominant in the child. Given the miraculous nature of the conception, Kara repeatedly refused efforts from Bulma, Hank, Alex and even her own husband to find out the child's gender commenting "I want it to be a surprise". In her heart though, Kara hoped that the child be a girl as names were being banded for the offspring of a Kryptonian and Half-Saiyan. Alex and Bulma had a spirited competition compiling a LONG list of male and female names for the unborn baby.
When Astra heard about the pregnancy she also rejoiced for her niece and the fact that the first Kryptonian in 2 decades was to be born. She asked to be there for the birth and after convincing Trunks, Kara allowed Astra to be there which turned out to be a wise decision on her end. Pan was reminded that she couldn't even conceive and Alex's over protectiveness of her sister at the birth(to the point she yelled and pointed her gun at the Capsule Corps doctors) made Astra the only one who could've properly guide Bulma as Kara gave birth. Trunks never felt pain as he did when she crushed his poor hand as she gave birth; her Kryptonian strength was only amplified by the pain of giving birth. "IT'S A GIRL!" Bulma exclaimed as the baby took it's first cry; "she's perfect" Kara happily wept. 'A daughter' Trunks thought as Bulma handed the baby to him(after giving his exhausted wife a kiss) 'I have a daughter' and give her a similar peck on the forehead. Then to Bulma's surprise he gave her to Astra who cradled her protectively; "what is her name?" she asked Kara. She smiled and responded "Alice Alstura Brie-El"; "after your mother and me" Astra responded as a tear fell from her eyes. "We'll call her Alice Briefs for short" the exhausted mother joked "Rao knows that my daughter would get suspicious looks if she used her full name". Trunks wholeheartedly agreed and true to his word, Pan was named Alice's Godmother; everyone(even Vegeta to Astra's surprise) had tears as Kara allowed all of her family to hold her newborn child.
It seemed like everything was happy but it was far from the truth; the Tuffle King that became Baby had arrived on Earth and he heard that the Saiyans still lived and Kryptonians were well regarded. However the Tuffle waited until it had gained sufficient power to launch an attack and when it did(a year later) it was vicious. Vegeta was the first to die quickly followed by Superman, his ally from the Justice League and Gohan the last of which causing Trunks to ascend what Bulla dubbed Super-Saiyan 3. However before said ally fell, he was able to force a confession from Tuffle on why it had targeted Earth. Kara was horrified to learn that her kind were the cause of Baby's hate and despite the fact that she had got Alice to stop breastfeeding engaged him in battle. Despite his rage, the Super-Saiyan 3 Trunks was not able to destroy the Tuffle. Kara worked with Alex and her reformed Aunt, Baby was trapped in Fort Rozz and shoved into space but in one last spiteful act, the Tuffle tried to take an exhausted Trunks with him. Just like Jeremiah did for John, Kara made the ultimate sacrifice that that, shoving Trunks out of the way so that the Tuffle would take her instead.
Despite the risk of Cat or the military finding out, Shenron was summoned to bring all those who were killed by the Tuffle back..and that's where it all went wrong. All the negative energy due to all the wishes both Shenron and Porunga made was released in the form of a dark dragon named Black Smoke Shenron, who separated into the seven Shadow Dragons. Each of them took form around one ball which meant that Kara and all the other victims of Baby couldn't be wished back devastating Trunks. Given that Kara had told him of her worry that Alice's Kryptonian DNA will eventually show as she grew caused Trunks to take radical action; erasing the memories of Kara from his daughter's mind. John reluctantly was the individual who carried this out but it was the last time the Martian and the halfing worked together. Even though he could've made contact with the Shadow Dragons, the knowledge of erasing Kara as Alice's mom from her mind prompted him not to. Alex took Trunks' side in this but the relationship between the two wasn't nearly the same and James angrily confessed his love for Kara and calling the hybrid a coward didn't help either. Bulma decided to rebuild Trunks' old time machine so that the past could be warned of the threat of Baby and the Shadow Dragons but fell ill and died before she finished.
She left the remaining job to Pan who carried it out while Trunks ruthlessly trained with his daughter to kill all seven shadow dragons. Not wanting Alice to be totally ignorant of her heritage Astra secretly taught her how to fight exactly like Kara. She did however call her niece Supergirl along with everyone else per Trunks' orders; Kara was a forbidden topic along with James and Winn(although that more came from Pan). Gohan(through King Kai) had told Trunks that he wouldn't stand a chance against the shadow-dragons as a Super-Saiyan 3 and recommended that he get a tail. Dende used his guardian magic to grow Trunks tail since he wasn't born with one to begin with; finally after another 5 years he felt that he was ready. The shadow dragons appeared but Trunks was still badly beaten(even after training his Super-Saiyan 3 form) and landed on the moon. Just as it looked hopeless Trunks looked at Earth's reflection and transformed into a Golden Great Ape! Alice was the one who finally calmed Trunks down-since hybrid Oozaru had more control over their minds than an untrained Full-Bloodied Oozarus(as evident by Gohan when he transformed to fight Vegeta so long ago) and this resulted in another change this time for the better. Trunks emerged with red fur, red eyes and a golden aura; "what do you want to call this?" Alice had asked after feeling the power of the transformation. "How bout" Trunks began startling Alice that the tone of his voice was deeper than his Super-Saiyan 3's tone "Super-Saiyan 4".
The transformation in Alice's eyes was frightening and Trunks used all the rage he had build up since Kara's death to deal with the Shadow Dragons and one by one they were destroyed by his new powers. All of them that is except for the one star dark dragon who named himself Syn. He completely dominated Trunks newfound Super-Saiyan 4 powers and told him that it was the fault of all those who use the dragon balls that caused beings like him to appear. Moving in for the kill, Syn Shenron is then confronted by the intervention of Piccolo and Martian Manhunter; Astra then came to lend her aid stalling the Evil Dragon long enough for the female hybrids along with Gohan and Vegeta(thanks to King Kai in otherworld) for Trunks to absorb their powers to become significantly stronger. Unfortunately just it seemed the corner was turned, Syn killed Astra and absorbed the 6 other Dragon Balls to become Omega Shenron. Trunks was grossly outmatched by Omega even with the additional energy he gained from the other saiyans. Just as it seemed Omega was about to kill him, Gohan came from other and bashed him in the face. He had to convince the witch Baba to bring him back so that he could fight, but Baba refused. Finally King Kai came up with the solution of letting Gohan get his tail back so that there would be 2 Super-Saiyan 4's instead of 1 to fight Omega. She agreed and looking at the moon, he also transformed but even together they couldn't bring him down.
Finally as a last result they used the Fusion Dance to become Super-Saiyan 4 Gorunks; he was able to easily bat Omega around but the problem was that the dead Gohan side of the fusion was ciphering energy from the alive Trunks side. In the end, Baba made it so that both warriors were dead; naturally Alice protested but the fusion told her that this was the only way they could win. The Trunks side also told his daughter that he was proud to be her father and that he loved her before finally ending Omega for good. Alice could only watch as Trunks flew off with Gohan to join those who had died in the afterlife and the memory of that battle haunted her for the next 4 years as she(along with Bulla) were the only defenses Earth had the aftermath of the battle. Pan had thrown herself full on into restoring the time machine so that Alice could go back and warn the past version of her family of the threat Baby and Omega held. Bulla was too broken to by the deaths of both her father and her brother, Alex outright refused because she would have an emotional breakdown when she saw Kara, and Pan herself felt guilt over the fact that Winn had betrayed his friends.
Lucy Lane on the other hand took the news of Trunks' death with joy and declared war on Alice after his death after gaining super-human powers thanks to her father. Cat had cruelly dubbed Lucy 'Superwoman' and even though Bulla and Alice were both Super-Saiyans(Bulla transformed upon seeing Vegeta die and Alice when Trunks had died) Lucy easily was more powerful than both of them. More scary for the ones who knew Kara was Alice's mom was that Lucy's artificial Kryptonian DNA activated Alice's sleeping Kryptonian DNA. At around the age of 9(the same age when Gohan reached the ascended state) is when Alice was aware that something was happening to her something frightening. When she asked Bulla and Pan, they only stated that her Saiyan DNA had seen Lucy's powers enough to copy and use on her own. Alice accepted the explanation but Lucy didn't; she taunted her as being the daughter of a whore and saying that Kara really never loved Trunks. When Alice asked about that, they flat out told her Lucy was lying and refused to tell her more about Kara. Only Alex was the one who talked about Kara but it was always in passing and in the persona of Supergirl so Alice grew up with a reverence for the heroine but a hatred for the person behind the heroine.
The fights with Lucy finally came to an end when Alice beat and left her unconscious but at the cost of the life of John Jones. That year the time machine finally was prepared however at the moment of truth Gohan's daughter had a terrifying vision. A figure with Goku's Gi, boots, a pencil with 2015 inscribed on it and a strange gas mask appeared in her dreams; "who are you?" the terrified Pan asked the figure. "I have come" the figure who sounded Asian answered "to deliver to you a message". "What-what message?" she inquired still terrified. "Do not send the daughter of Trunks back now" he stated deadly serious; "w-why?" Pan asked "she needs to be there". "Alice does need to be there" the figure conceded "but her purpose in the past is far greater than what you know". "Purpose? What purpose?" she asked but the figure gave her a smile and simply said "I will make two more appearances to you Pan. When you see me again, Alice be may be send back. The last time when events that will shape her destiny and reveal the truth of her identity as the daughter of a Kryptonian begin I will appear to you!" and dissapeared. Pan woke up with a gasp; 'what a dream' she thought to herself 'I don't know how he knows about Alice but the guy sounded like he means business'. She wondered what to say to Alice when she had asked if she would be send back at the time Astra's army was to attack in the present timeline. Finally Pan said "you aren't quite strong enough; if go back now, the forces in the past will kill you". "They will?" she asked; "yes" her Godmother answered; "but why?" whined Alice "I wanna help!"
Pan smiled; Alice's desire to save everyone was a clear indication that her Kryptonian DNA was manifesting itself. She told Alice "I know you want to help but the foe Trunks and Supergirl are facing has the same powers and abilities as Superwoman". Trunks daughter paled at this and muttered "I guess I can start to at least try and master those weird abilities that I've used against that woman"; Pan nodded and said "off you go". Alice bounced away to get started and it was this point that she saw the picture of Trunks and Kara that Bulla had hidden away from Trunks cleaning the house of any evidence of their marriage broke down and cried out to the past version of the couple. "Do you think Alice will discover the truth about Kara being her mom" Bulla asked after Pan finished crying out; "I don't know Bulla. I just don't know" Gohan's daughter answered back and with a sigh turned off the light to Alice's room to train her Goddaughter. They had no idea that the purpose that the person in Pan's dream had told her lay in store for Alice was already in the process of beginning and when she was to be send back, history as those in the future knew it had been forever changed...End Chapter
Outtro: "Hello its Baba and next time on Dragon Girl Super Grand Kai had summoned King Kai and myself to a meeting but what could he want to talk about? It must be important cause Supreme Kai is there with him..WHAT?! They're beings stronger than Super-Saiyan 4?! Frieza's alive?! There are 12 universes?! This is all so confusing; hopefully the Kai's can give us a good explanation what the hell is going on here! Next time on Dragon Girl Z: Glimpse into the Future(GIFT) ACT II: An Other world(ly) meeting! Don't miss it(*mutters*) I think I'm going to be sick
Author's Note: Hey guys its me Superspeeder apologizing once again that this chapter and 14 were repeats. I had no idea why that happened but in any case I put out a revised chapter that you can say is 'History of Alice' abridged. Given the current season of Supergirl and the plotlines of Dragon Ball Super I had to rethink how I can do this chapter in particular and the two that follows this(16/17) and came out with this. The predominant family that has slavery is an backdoor reference for Mon-El and the Dominators(obviously) 2 VERY important elements of S2 of the show. From what has been revealed(without going too much into spoilers) it is my belief that they, the Kryptonians, the Green Martians and the Plantians(the original inhabitants of Planet Vegeta) were the major 'power players' of the galaxy.
Now you may say if the Daxamittes were a power player why didn't Frieza annex them into his empire? Well from what Mon-El HIMSELF said(again without getting into spoilers) my theory is that the deterioration of their society from being a power player coincided with saiyan ascendancy into being THE major power player(before Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta). Another apology is the figure who appeared to Pan; I at first wrote that it was Zuno then I wrote that it was Omni-King Zeno but based on the Goku Black arc I had to change it from him. I was at a loss until I remembered Tori-Bot which is a parody of the author of Dragon Ball itself Akira Toryiama; given that Alice is my own character he doesn't have any sort of power over her. He only has power over all the characters he had created and given that Pan is one of them Toryiama created you can see why that Pan followed his orders.
He'll be the one who shows himself to Alice in the U6 tournament and tell Alice about Super-Saiyan Blue but when she presses him about information about her, he won't say anything. Actually that moment will be comical(rather than serious) because his editor will apologize to Alice and leave before Zeno arrives to confront Beerus and Champa. As for the details I wrote about in Chapter 16, that'll be revised to show Toryiama's original version of Monaka fighting Goku and the Son of Superman will not appear during the tournament because he's not part of U7. Actually he won't even be mentioned until after Goku v Hit round 2 which occurs after Tyler Hocher became the TV version of the Man of Steel. Actually, it's more like a Kaioshin who is responsible for time will tell Champa to bring Superman's son to her and uses the threat of his erasal by Zeno to do so.
Anyways I hope this version of what happened in Alice's timeline is a much better version that what I had originally wrote in that Omega was still alive instead writing that it was Lucy's Superwoman that Alice faced. She is the 'Cell' to Baby/Omega's Androids and she is NOT dead! She along with DOJ Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman and the assistant 1984 Supergirl MOVIE foe Selena will play a role in the Goku Black arc. However Lucy/Superwoman will not appear until Super-Saiyan Rose Black uses his scythe to rip a hole into Mirai's timeline during Black's rematch with Super-Saiyan Blue Vegeta. So with all of that said until next time!
