Chapter 1

When he arrived everyone was already waiting for him, Tien, Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Master Roushi, Bulma, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Videl, all looking rather bored. Yamcha took a chair and sat next to Bulma, which made Vegeta look at him in disgust. Piccolo then stood up to address everyone.

"Now that you're all here we need to discuss this new threat to Earth. This guy is going around Earth blowing up everything in his path including people; I haven't seen anything like this since Buu hit Earth. Anyway, this guy calls himself Silencer and as we speak he's getting closer to us. I've come into contact with his power level many times and if I can feel his power level without him being in this area its pretty safe to assume that we'll have our hands full. No one knows what he wants, but whatever it is we have to stop him before he destroys the Earth. Dende has said that if this guy destroys everything there will be no way to wish it back to the way it was…because three of the Dragonballs have already been destroyed."

The room was so silent it was deafening. If this guy could destroy Dragonballs how in the world could they stop him from blowing up the whole planet and everything on it?

Piccolo went on.

"This would be a good time for us to use the hyper-bolic time chamber and increase our power levels as much as possible before this guy gets here. I have to be honest with you guys though…I don't see how we can win this one."

Vegeta sprang from his seat and raised a fist.

"Is that it then, Green Man?! You're just going to fucking give up and let this idiot take over?! I can't believe that you're letting it go so easily. Where did your balls go anyway?! Mr. Positive can't do it anymore? How weak are all of you?!"

"Vegeta, please…" Bulma scolded.

"No!" he screamed. "Ever since I teamed with you morons all I've heard is all this "we can fight this, we can win" bullshit and now you won't even stand by it! What are we supposed to do then? Stand outside and wait for this `Silencer' to come by and finish us off? Well, I won't do it! If you're all too cowardly then I'll fight him myself. No true Saiyin would back down from this fight!"

As he spoke he looked at Goku, Gohan, Goten, and his son Trunks.

"No son of mine is going to let this asshole take over. I raised you to fight like a man and be worthy of your ancestors. Don't you dare think of disappointing me. My blood flows through your veins and I WILL NOT let my son dishonor me!"

Trunks looked down at the floor. `That's all I've ever been to you, Dad,' he thought to himself. `A disappointment.'

Goku stood up and stared at Vegeta. "Don't be so hard on Trunks, Vegeta. He hasn't dishonored anyone and you shouldn't be putting all of this on him. He's your son and…"

"I know he's my son! That's why I expect better from him! He knows this and doesn't need YOU to stick up for him!"

Yamcha sat back and rolled his eyes. `Typical meeting,' he thought. `I wonder what Piccolo's hiding from us. Piccolo, as if reading his mind, looked at him and stood up.

"If you're all done acting like children I have something else to discuss. With this battle we're going to need all the help we can get. For the passed 15 years Dende and I have been training another fighter who can help us with defeating Silencer."

The room grew quieter…this had never happened before. No one else had ever helped the Z Fighters take on a battle before. They looked at each other with puzzled looks as Piccolo disappeared into the other room, soon returning with a dark figure behind him.

He looked over his shoulder and motioned to come forward.

"I hope you'll all welcome our newest fighter to the team. Hopefully now we'll have enough power to take Silencer down for good."

The figure stepped forward into the light and there, before all the Z Fighters, stood a woman with long dark hair pulled back from her face, her green eyes shimmering in the light. The blue fighting robe she wore had the symbol of Dende and Piccolo, her trainers for the passed 15 years. She looked at the people around her, their shocked expressions and gave a soft smile.

"This is Araena," Piccolo said.

"Hello," she said softly.

The room began buzzing loudly as everyone started talking excitedly. A WOMAN? Piccolo tried to quiet everyone when he noticed Yamcha, still sitting, not saying a word. His eyes had grown as large as dinner plates…he looked as if he seen a ghost. Everyone else's eyes followed Piccolo's and soon the room grew quiet. Even Araena looked at him funny.

Yamcha stood up slowly and began walking towards her. He tried to speak but found the words were barely coming out. He cleared his throat and tried to keep himself under control.

"It….it….it can't be," he stammered. "Rae? Is that really you?"

Araena looked at him in disbelief and looked like she was holding back tears.

"What? What did you call me?"

"Rae…just like I always did…"

"Oh…oh my gosh…it can't be you….Yamcha?? Is it really you?"

"Yeah…yeah it's me, Rae…"

Before anyone could say another word, they ran at each other and ended up in a big embrace. Araena's eyes were filled with tears and so were Yamcha's. She pulled herself away and looked him in the eyes.

"I thought I lost you forever, Yamcha. Where have you been all this time?"

He smirked and let out a little laugh through his tears. "Here."

She smiled at him. "Yep, same ol' Yamcha…"

Goku smiled. "So Yamcha who is this girl? You never mentioned another girlfriend before."

Araena looked at Goku and laughed. "Girlfriend?! Ha! You mean he's actually had a girlfriend? Wow, a lot has changed hasn't it, Yamcha?"

"Aww, you haven't changed much either have you, Sis?"

"SIS?!" everyone shouted in disbelief. Yamcha has a sister?
