[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
<<<Last time, Jess departed from her time to embark on a special mission. Unknown to the others, the Time Portal wasn't working properly and sent Jess to the wrong point in time. Now it is up to Psywolf to locate and rescue her.>>>
Psywolf: *gets hurled out of the portal and slams onto the ground* Ow damn, that hurt! *levitates himself to his feet* Where the hell am I?! When the hell am I?! *looks around at his surroundings*
<<<Psywolf finds that unlike in his time, there are no
half-destroyed buildings, the sky is bright with sunshine, the air is filled with hovercars, and people are bustling about, talking about this and that.>>>
Psywolf: *runs over to a newsstand and checks the date* Holy crap, I went a long way back!
Stand Attendant: Hey buddy, are you gonna buy one or stare at the damn thing all day?!
Psywolf: Oh sorry… *puts it down*
Woman: *comes up behind Psywolf* Trunks, what did you do to your hair?!
Psywolf: *turns around* Huh, who's Trunks?
Woman: Oh I'm sorry; I thought you were someone else. My name is Bulma and you are…?
Psywolf: My name is Psywolf Xero. Can you help me? I'm looking for someone.
Bulma: I'm headed to Capsule Corp. right now. Stop by sometime and I might be able to help you. *leaves*
Psywolf: *to himself* I should probably try to keep from being noticed as much as possible.
<<<Suddenly an explosion rocks the planet and destroys part of a building.>>>
17: *in the sky; hovering* Well that was fun. Hey 18, someone's coming.
18: *also hovering* It's probably Vegeta again, 17.
17: No, he looked pretty bad after that beating you gave him.
Psywolf: *down below* I can't intervene, it could have severe consequences.
Namek: You two are a real pain in the neck, you know that?
17: I'll take this one, any objections?
18: No.
17: What about you, 16?
16: I'm only programmed to fight Goku.
17: Talk about a one-track mind, I'll take that as a no. You're the one they call Piccolo, right?
Piccolo: Yea, why don't we take this elsewhere?
<<<All 4 of them leave.>>>
Psywolf: Well that was weird. *looks around seeing Capsule Corp. in the distance and goes inside*
<<<Inside Psywolf finds that he has entered a very high-tech building and to the right there is a desk with a receptionist behind it.>>>
Receptionist: May I help you?
Psywolf: Yea, Bulma sent me.
Receptionist: Yes, I see. You look like one of the Z-Warriors. Second door on the left, in that hallway right over there.
Psywolf: (What's a Z-Warrior?) *walks through door as told*
Bulma: *working on a computer*
Psywolf: *clears throat to gain her attention*
Bulma: *turns around* Oh it's you. I swear you look just like my son, Trunks! Now, what was it that you needed help with?
Psywolf: I'm looking for a girl named Jess Vegeta Briefs.
Bulma: What?! Are you sure that's her name?
Psywolf: Completely sure. Why?
Bulma: That's my family's last name.
Psywolf: Maybe you're related?
Bulma: I doubt it, we only have one son and he's still a baby. Then again, there is that one from the future that sometimes shows up. He's only a teenager though so she couldn't be his daughter…
Psywolf: *explains the situation*
Bulma: Oh that would explain it. She's probably my great great great granddaughter or something.
Psywolf: Yea, we did come pretty far back.
<<<Suddenly, a girl about 16 years old standing at about 5'04” with blonde hair, a cybernetic left arm, and wearing jeans and a Capsule Corp. t-shirt runs in.>>>
???: Bulma, I heard you had a visitor!
Bulma: Yes. Psychi, this is Psywolf.
Psychi: Hi Psywolf, I'm Psychi! *shakes his hand*
Psywolf: Hi…
Bulma: Don't worry, she's always hyperactive.
Psychi: Hey, you make it sound like a bad thing!
Psywolf: So can you help me find Jess?
Bulma: Maybe, does she carry anything with this logo on it? *shows him a picture of a Capsule Corp. logo*
Psywolf: Only her watch. Due to a high level of crime and mass chaos, Capsule Corp.'s products are kind of rare.
Bulma: That's okay, a watch will work.
Psywolf: So what's the plan?
Bulma: All Capsule Corp. technology has a tracking device in case it is lost, stolen, or in this case the person wearing it is missing. We can track the location of her watch and hope that she is still wearing it.
Psywolf: Impressive.
Bulma: Follow me. *walks out of the room and into a room with a large computer*
Psywolf: Wow, that computer's huge!
Bulma: *pushes buttons on computer* I found her. She's in the Gingertown area.
Psywolf: Do you have a map?
Psychi: I could take you there!
Bulma: No Psychi…
Psywolf: Actually, I think it would be a good idea.
Bulma: Are you sure?
Psywolf: Yes. *looks over at her smiling*
Psychi: *winks at Psywolf*
Bulma: Okay…go ahead then. (I think something's going on between those two.)
<<<Psywolf and Psychi fly off through the main gate.>>>
Psychi: So who is this girl, anyway?
Psywolf: She's my partner. I was the only one from the Hunter's Guild who could stay stable in the Time Portal.
Psychi: Why is that?
Psywolf: I'm a cyborg. I was created in a lab.
Psychi: At least you've got friends.
Psywolf: Yea it helps, but I don't think they will completely trust me unless the mission is successful.
Psychi: Sounds harsh. *points at a very large city down below* There's our target.
<<<They land in the middle of the city. The city appears to be abandoned with empty clothes lying all over the ground. Unlike in West City, there is no sign of life whatsoever.>>>
Psychi: What the hell?! Something weird's going on here.
Psywolf: This is unusual? That's good, I was starting to get the feeling we landed in the middle of a nudist colony.
Psychi: *gives Psywolf a funny look* Let's look around for Jess and hope she didn't get turned into a pile of clothes also.
Psywolf: Yikes, don't say things like that! I'll use my radar to try and find her, we should be within range for it to find her exact location now. *skin “melts” away and reveals the panel once more* Follow me.
<<<They run down the street and around a corner to find Jess and the Namek from earlier fighting an unknown green warrior with a tail and black spots covering his body.>>>
Piccolo: This is pitiful, you know you can't beat us and yet you still won't give up!
Jess: *flies up and gives the unknown warrior a roundhouse kick to the head*
???: *knocked back into a building*
Piccolo: *charges energy* Special Beam Cannon! *fires a beam from two of his fingers at the spot where the warrior crashed through the building*
Psychi: Wow, they make a good team!
Psywolf: So will we, come on! *grabs Psychi by the arm and leads her into the building*
Piccolo: Psychi?!
Jess: Psywolf?!
<<<Piccolo look at each other for a moment then follow Psywolf and Psychi into the building.>>>
Psywolf: *searching* This isn't going well.
Psychi: Tell me something I don't know.
Psywolf: Here's something you don't know, you should cover your head.
Psychi: *confused but does it anyway*
Psywolf: *levitates off of the ground slightly as his eyes glow blue and his body is engulfed in a blue aura of psychic energy*
Psychi: Whoa, that's awesome!
Psywolf: *blows away the entire building with his mind*
<<<5 min. later after everyone makes it out of the debris.>>>
Jess: *brushing dirt out of her hair* What the hell just happened?!
Piccolo: I got hit in the head with a boulder!
Psychi: Dammit Psywolf, you had to blow away the entire building didn't you?!
Jess: Psywolf did that?!
Psychi: Yea, showing off again.
Psywolf: *rises out of a pile of debris, completely unaffected and lands on the ground; aura disappears and his eyes turn back to their normal color*
Piccolo: Looks like Cell got away again…
Psywolf: He looked different than the one in my files, that one was more human-looking.
Jess: How'd you find me Psywolf?
Psywolf: Combination of my radar on your watch.
Jess: Well if you came here to bring me back to the future, you're wasting your time. I'm not going back!
Psywolf: What?! Why?
Jess: I can't stand the constant chaos brought on by Sigma's attacks and in this time, I actually feel like I can make a difference in the world.
Psywolf: So what am I supposed to do? Everyone's expecting me to bring you back!
Jess: Tell them about my decision and give this to Sarah. *hands Psywolf a strange device bearing the letters “HG”* It's my Hunter's Guild call device, returning it to the commander is a sign of resignation.
Psywolf: I never got one of these.
Jess: You don't get one until after you complete your first mission, Sarah will give you yours when you return.
Psychi: Hey Psywolf, why don't I come with you to the future in Jess's place?
Psywolf: Are you sure you want to do that?
Psychi: Yea, I don't have any family I'd be leaving behind. Jess can you tell Bulma goodbye for me?
Jess: Sure thing.
Psywolf: *checks device on arm panel* I'll send the retrieval signal to the Time Portal. *pushes a couple buttons* Don't be a stranger, come visit sometime!
Jess: Okay I will.
Psychi: We'll come back to visit you sometime, too.
Jess: Okay. Bye!
Psywolf & Psychi:*waving* Bye!
Psywolf: *pushes a button on his arm panel*
<<<They both disappear in a blinding flash of light, leaving nothing but smoke and a crater behind. How will the others react to Jess's decision and Psychi's arrival? To Be Continued…Fin!>>>
