Author: "IT'S FREAKING AUTHOR NOTE TIME! Last time, I said I was going to put Lost Origin in the DBZ section rather than the DB section. And, well, I did get one more follower and favorite, but most importantly, this fan fiction is now in a community! The Neo Z Fighters is Lost Origin's new home, and I am quite pleased with the members. On another note, I have pre-typed all the way till Chapter 45, so I can finally take a break from Lost Origin and into another DBZ fan fiction I'm making! I promise that one won't be as OC heavy and unfamiliar as Lost Origin, though I do freaking love this fan fiction either way.

I don't own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, or any reference you recognize. If you've never even remotely hope to have heard of it before, then it's mine. ON WITH THE STORY!"

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

Dude #1: "Dude, like, I swear to freakin'… I dunno, something, but I totally got a date with Stella yesterday!"

Dude #2: "Pfft, yeah, right. Stella's too hot for you, man! She'd rather chill with… like… my dog than to chill with you!"

Dude #1: "What, is your dog hot or something? Come on, dude, believe me! I swear I dated her, it was awesome!"

Dude #2: "Yeah, you totally dated Stella. And aliens are sending their robots to… freakin', spy on us or some crap."

Then, another black spike fell from the sky, activated the antenna, and began scanning.

Both Dudes: "…"

Dude #1: "Now you believe me?"

Chapter 28: Hope for the Lost

After an entire day fighting, our heroes finally defeated Scorzette, the Saiyaness that came to Earth with the intention of conquering it AND turning Sakura to the bad side! It took much effort and pain, but it was over. However, although Scorzette tried to kill everyone, Sakura was not willing to let her die. Sakura believed there was still hope for Scorzette to become one of the good guys. But if she wanted to do that, she had to hurry and save the Saiyan fast, or else she could die!

Helen: "Sakura, how are you holding up?"

Sakura: "Don't worry… I can do this! Haaaaa!"

Without a comet to fly on, our heroes needed another kind of transportation! In her desperate state, Sakura grabbed a chunk of rock from the ground and used it as a platform to put everyone else on. She tied some ropes to her chest and the rock, and when Helen, Ninomiya, and Sakura got everyone on it, the young Saiyan ran like a bull, carrying the dubbed "taxi-rock" by Ninomiya.

20 minutes later…

Sakura and the others arrived at West City's West-Wing Hospital, and began carrying the injured in.

Sakura: "It's an emergency! If we don't help these people, they'll die!"

Nurse: "I, uh, I, eh, I-I'm sorry, but all the emergency rooms are full after the demon attack!"

Sakura: "No! There has to be at least one! Please! I'm begging you!"

Nurse: "I'm sorry, but I really can't do anything…"

Dr. Ridley: "I'll take them in."

Nurse: "Dr. Ridley? But, your room is full, too!"

Dr. Ridley: "Oh, I'll make space for them. Now quickly, get them to my room!"

Sakura: "Of course! Thank you so much, doctor!"

Seeing as his patience, Blanca, needed immediate assistance, Dr. Ridley did not think it twice before aiding our heroes. He ordered for four extra beds to be put in his room immediately. Sakura, Helen, and Ninomiya, who were alright, put Scorzette, Blanca, Andromeda, and Plata on the extra beds. The other patients in the room were ready to leave the next day, so it was not much of a problem.

1 hour later…

Dr. Ridley finished examining the damaged warriors. He went out the room, ready to inform Sakura and the others about the situation.

Sakura: "So? How are they, doctor?"

Dr. Ridley: "Well, let me begin with the easy one. Plata only received a hit in the head, and no brain damage was caused. All she needs is a little rest."

Ninomiya: "Phew… thank god."

Dr. Ridley: "The princess from Starflow Kingdom has a fairly strong burn on her left arm. However, with the help of some antibiotics and cooling medicine, she should be feeling like new in two days or so."

Helen: "That's a relief…"

Dr. Ridley: "Blanca… huff… her Brontobit Arm got busted from the inside. It will take us about a week to get her arm fixed, as well as healing her chest, as it got burned from the inside, too."

Ninomiya: "Oh, no! But she'll be OK by then, right?"

Dr. Ridley: "I promise you that she will at least be able to walk by then. Now… the black-haired girl… Scorzette I believe you told me… she's has the deepest injuries I have ever seen in my life. She's currently in a state of coma. The only way to heal her is by using tissue builders. She has, in total, 7 impaled holes on her body, mostly on her torso and legs. It could take up to five days for the tissue builders to recognize the DNA of her body, and possibly five months for her to be able to move again."

Sakura: "FIVE MONTHS?!"

Dr. Ridley: "I'm sorry, Sakura, but unless some miracle happens, five months is the least it will take for Scorzette to recover. I can tell she's really special to you, though. We'll make sure that this process doesn't take any longer than those five months."

Helen: "This is a lot for Sakura to take in… and… oh god… Dr. Ridley, how much is all of this going to cost?"

Dr. Ridley: "Hmmm… for the medicine, treatment, and repairs for the patients' bodies… I'd say this is going to go on the 15,000,000 Zeni mark."

Ninomiya: "FIFTEEN MILLION ZE—" *faints*

Helen: "There is no way we're ever going to get that kind of money!"

Bulma: "I'll take care of it."

Everyone else: "Bulma?!"

Bulma: "Dr. Ridley, put it all on Capsule Corp.'s account."

Dr. Ridley: "Y-Yes, ma'am!" *goes to office*

Bulma: "So, how did it go?"

Helen: "Wait, but Bulma, are you sure about what you're doing?"

Bulma: "Oh, don't worry about it. You guys saved the world. That's the LEAST I could for you. So, again, how did it go?"

Sakura: "Fortunately, nobody died. Not even Scorzette."

Bulma: "I'm guessing that's the Saiyan. What happened to her?"

Sakura: "I… brought her here…"

Bulma: "Ah, I knew it. From the second I saw you, I could just tell you had that 'thing' that Goku has, Sakura. No matter how they look like on the outside, you only care for what they look like on the inside."

Sakura: "I… guess that's true. Scorzette thinks she's evil, but she's actually not sure. She wants the best for the Saiyans, but she just isn't doing it the right way."

Bulma: "I see. And even though she tried to kill you and the others, you care for her safety more than anything else now, right?"

Sakura: "Y… yes… you guys might think it's stupid of my part and that I might be threatening the life of others by saving Scorzette, but…"

Bulma: "Oh, don't think about it like that! If you believe in something, you have to prove that you're right! Besides, with my experience with Saiyans… yeah, I have some hope for Scorzette, too. Just like Vegeta."

Ninomiya: *wakes back up* "Ugh… what happened?"

Author: "15,000,000 Zeni."

Ninomiya: "FIFTEEN MILLION ZE—" *faints again*

With the pass of time, our heroes healed from their wounds. Plata only took a day, Andromeda three, just to make sure she was in excellent condition, and Blanca was just about done. However, every single day, Sakura would just sit besides Scorzette's bed, waiting for her to wake up from her coma. Dr. Ridley and the rest of the hospital staff tried to convince Sakura that it would take months for Scorzette to wake up, but she just ignored them and kept waiting. Every day, Sakura would think of how Scorzette's life was in the past, and she was anxious to ask her all about it. Scorzette was the only other Saiyan Sakura knew in person. Sakura knew of the existence of Goku and the other Z Warriors, but she never met them, and they weren't even in the Milky Way galaxy for her to greet them. Scorzette was really all she had left to hope for the Saiyans.

Ten days had passed since the fight, and Sakura was still in the room, giving the sleeping Scorzette company. Sakura even slept beside Scorzette's bed in case she woke up during the night. Sakura only ate small portions of food… or, well, for a Saiyan it was small, thinking that Scorzette would wake up hungry and would want some of her food. Everyone was worried about Sakura, but they couldn't do anything about her. But on the 15th day…

Ninomiya: *knock knock* "Hey, Sakura, can I come in?"

Sakura: "… mhm…"

Ninomiya: *enters* "Hey, ummm, are you hungry? Do you need anything?"

Sakura: "I'm fine, thanks…"

Ninomiya: "Are you sure?"

Sakura: "Mhm… how long has it passed since we got to the hospital?"

Ninomiya: "15 days. But if you're asking for the five months, then she still has 135 days to recover. Sakura, please, just come out already! There's no use staying here!"

Sakura: "I told you, I'm not going anywhere until I can talk to Scorzette!"

As they spoke, something unbelievable happened. Scorzette's finger twitched, then her hand began moving very slightly!

Sakura: "What was…?! Scorzette?! Scorzette! Scorzette, can you hear me?!"

Scorzette: "Uh… ah… wha… what…? Who… Li… Litua…?"

Sakura: "Scorzette, you're awake!" *hugs Scorzette*

Ninomiya: "WHAT THE… BUT THE DOCTOR SAID FIVE MONTHS!"

Scorzette: "Wait… why are you… what happened?"

Ninomiya: "I don't even know how you're waking up already… but, if you're asking what happened to you, think about it like this. 15 days ago, when you arrived to this planet, you fought all of us and you almost killed us, including Sakura here. But even though you almost killed her, she immediately brought you to this hospital to save you. How about that?"

Scorzette: "Litua, you… saved me? Why?"

Sakura: "You forgot already? I told you, you're all I have left to believe in the Saiyans! Even if you did try to kill us, I know you're not evil. You're just confused. All you need is help, and I'm the one who is going to help you."

Scorzette: "You saved me… because I mean something to you…? How… how can you be so forgiving? Saiyans are not like that…"

Sakura: "There you go with your ranting about 'Saiyan tradition' again. Look, Scorzette, Saiyans might have done things in the past that new Saiyans would do still, but we're not chained to that behavior! We can think for ourselves, feel for ourselves, and look after ourselves. If Saiyans were like you describe them, we'd be mindless bodies that can't understand emotions. But does it look like I don't understand emotions? Does it look like YOU don't understand emotions?"

Scorzette: "But…"

Sakura: "You act like you do because you had no one or nothing to care for. But now you do. I care for you. This planet can welcome you. And who knows, maybe there are more Saiyans out there in the universe. Wouldn't you want to find them?"

Scorzette: "I… guess so, yes…"

Sakura: "Then there you go! You have someone, somewhere, and something to live for!"

Scorzette: "I… I… th… thank… thank you…"

Sakura: "What?"

Scorzette: "I said thanks! Ow!"

Sakura: "Don't move too much, you're still hurt! Oh and… you're welcome. Tee-hee!"

Scorzette: "Bah, whatever… don't expect me to be all nice-like from now on. I'm still me, got it?"

Sakura: "Hihi… got it."

Ninomiya: "… damn… Sakura, you should be a psychologist when you're not saving the world from catastrophic events."

Dr. Ridley: *knock knock* "It's time for the daily check, Sakura." *comes in* "I need to see how Scorzette is—HUH?!"

Sakura: "Hi, Dr. Ridley! Look, Scorzette is awake now!"

Dr. Ridley: "B-B-B-B-BUT—"

Scorzette: "I'm a Saiyan. Our bodies are much tougher than those of you humans."

Bulma: "Yup. Happened with Goku and the others back in the day."

Dr. Ridley: "Mrs. Bulma, you need to stop appearing out of nowhere…"

Like a miracle, Scorzette had already awakened from her coma which was supposed to last at least five months! At that rate, she would be back on her feet in about another week. What kind of life awaits Sakura and Scorzette? What will be the next thing to threaten to destroy the Earth (because it's guaranteed to happen)? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

To be continued…

Bonus skit

Now that Scorzette awakened, she had a couple of questions. But there was one in particular…

Scorzette: "OK… now that I'm able to talk, I would like to know… WHO. THE HELL. WAS THE ONE. THAT CUT. MY. FREAKING. TAIL?!"

Ninomiya: "(Oh, thank god, she doesn't know it was me…)"

Sakura: "Oh, it was Ninomiya here."

Ninomiya: "WHAT-NO-I-AH-NO-I-I-I DIDN'T CUT-CUT-HER TAIL!"

Sakura: "What are you talking about, Ninomiya? I saw you jump behind Scorzette and slice it right off!"

Ninomiya: "SAKURA, PLEASE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING E—"

Scorzette: "Ooooohhh, so it was you! Litua, just remind me: If your friend Ninomiya ever needs to get an amputation on ANYTHING, I'M the one taking care of the job."

Sakura: "Really? Great! Look, Ninomiya, I got you a personal surgeon!"

Ninomiya: "Gee, thanks Sakura, reaaaaaally appreciate it… (I'm dead…)"
