Author's Note: This took longer than intended why? Well one author is going away on holiday, another was grounded. I was sick and still am, and Jeril's back *hugs her beta* I'll leave her alone for beta-ing for a while though. This is not been beta-ed to the best of my ability due to the fact I AM SICK!!! Low iron count, mental illness and anemic... less motivated and college, plus over the past week and a half I've had an assignment I HAD to do... sorry but it counted for part of my passing mark in this degree. That came first. and ffn was not workign for me during my assignemnt so I could not read, edit or review any fics (I think that was a sign)... Jo thanks gurl for the understanding in the e-mail. *smiles* made me not feel so bad about irl...

I have yet to get the OUT list of ANBM. For those who want to stay in the fic E-mail me. I will not write for you though, I'm talking about those who are not regular apperances (not the norm like BG, Jeril, S'rac, Toby, Mab, VC, Eternity, Kitty, Kattrina Vixen, Jan, Raine, Dragonball Fairy, Raine and so on... if I missed someone I'm sorry 'tis the illness)... I am writing for Maria, Seisetsu, Crysten, Selene (who is back now too) and Myself. So if you wanna stay sorry to sound bitchy but you HAVE to write your own piece. If not let me know and I will remove you nicely...

***Fade Away***

and ya endz, coz I'm gettin' out, I don't want your phone, or ya bone, you can

keep that stuff, I've had enough of your love, now I'm playin' rough.*

*The Dragonball Fairy*

I walked around, looking at everyone's costumes and giving marshmallows to random people before I started throwing them around yelling "Marshmallows to all!"

I continued to dance around the room passing out marshmallows when Tux said

"You know you're being a bigger idiot then ususal"

"Hey I'm allowed to have fun aren't I?"

"What happened to that whole, I have to beat my evil side, thing?"

"I'm going to try to forget about that, atleast for tonight anyway, now go mingle Britney!"

"This is so degrading" Tux groaned and looked for a hiding place where no one could see his costume

"Hey look over there there's a moneky dressed as a pimp, you two can go be degraded together" Tux sighed then walked up to the monkey, next to one of the authors eating a bunch of bananas. I scanned the room with my eyes, then I spotted it...the food table, I gave a short cackle before I ran over to the table and began to eat.

~*~

A few hours had passes, the party was reaching its peak when....

KABOOM!

all heads turned to where the sound came from, as a crowd began to form infront of the kitchen, I heard gohan cry "My kitchen!!!!".

I stood on my tip toes to try to see above everyone and find out what happened, damn I hated being short sometimes, I was short in the real world and I was short in this one. I floated above the crowd and saw there was a small fire in the kitchen coming from the fride.

"Guess the party's over" I frowned then floated back down and turn around, then out of no where a thought struck me "Where'd J'dee go?...."

***

*BananaGirl*

"Hey Bitchney." I called to a muse who had come over to us, looking extremely pissed off.

"You know, I've heard tht at least forty times whilst I've been here." Tux replied.

"Evil author?" Quorky inquired.

"Very." Tux muttered.

"Aw, how cute." I grinned at the two muses who looked extremely glum.

"Is this all you do at parties? Eat bananas?" Tux asked.

"And make fun of my muse! Quorky, you look stoopid! Muwhahahaa, I can call you stoopid and its true!" I taunted. 'Why doesn't he just have fun? If he's not gonna, I wish he'd go away.'

"Why don't you just...whats happening?" Quorky demanded, his voice getting quieter as he slowly faded away.

"OK...who's been putting stuff in the bananas?" I demanded of the room, blinking rapidly.

"No...he's...disappearing." Tux looked at the dissolving form of Quorky in shock.

"But...but...I didn't even wish or anything!" I cradled my head and groaned. "Well...not aloud anyway."

"Stacey! Why the hell did..." Quorky disappeared completely, his sentence cutting off.

"I wish Quorky was back!" I demanded as soon as he left. "What? Not the same as with Bulma, Dende? I thought I suffered enough! Just wait 'til I meet you, your green ass is mine!" I screamed to the ceiling. This was not good. Sure, I taunted and mocked him, but what would I do without a muse? How could I play crazy tricks on Skittles if I had no muse? How could I continue my fic without a muse? How can I dress myself without Quorky? The monkey tells me what to wear! "No no no no no no no no no no NO!" I screeched. "I'll be walking around in a banana suit forever! Sure, it's spiffy, but not practical! What about the heat? And damn is it hot is Japan!" I shouted, causing everyone to look at me, if they hadn't already.

"I'll be going now..." Tux said, looking slightly scared.

"Ok, calm." I told myself. "Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe I can cope without a small, lime green haired monkey. It's not the end of the world." I began squashing bananas on my forehead. "I'm in hell, I'm in hell."

*J'dee*

It was a horrifying bright light and the pain in her head it became like needles from all angels penetrating her very skull bringing forth memories emotions she had hidden deep within for so many years, the violence the anger, the unknown strength she had. Grabbing the side of her head she cried out unheard over he music pulsing in the distance and she felt Babity grab her pentacle and he held it tight in his grip he looked at her and her tail twitched she saw she was kneeling in front of him like some sort of servant and her mind instantly fought and she pulled back. She heard a snap of a cord and looked as Babity still held her pentacle necklace. She stood up slowly. Her body aching and she brushed herself down and ran her hand through her hair.

"I'm sick of people always ruining other's fun." She commented her voice cold. "I just wanted to throw a party damnit!! Can't anything happen in this world without bad things happening to good people?!?!" She shouted at him forming a ball of energy in her hand. She threw it at the little wizard, but it just rebounded off an unseen forcefield and she jumped out of the way.

"Grrrrrr..." She growled and then she let out a yelp as several beams of magickal energy flew towards her and she played dodgem for a few seconds before phasing out appearing behind Babity and giving him a boot up the back end.

"Go home!" She shouted as the little wizard went sailing through the air.

"Jera!!" She heard Gohan's voice calling her and she turned round in time to see another blinding flash of light along with Babity's magickal incantation that never changed... She didn't mind Babity in fact she though he was cool but incantations coulda used some- not ALOT of work.

When she could see again she felt Gohan's arms wrap round her waist and nuzzle at her neck. But something was wrong she could feel it, at least something was wrong with her and she stared at her hand, the blood caked on it and she saw Gohan's hand touch it and he nipped at her ear talking to her. "What happened?"

"Blake..." She sighed.

She felt Gohan stiffen. "He's here?"

"Yeah, along with Seru and Tri."

Gohan groaned. "Great just great." he let her go and J'dee turned and looked at him. He looked mad and she had no reason why she was suddenly drawn to that factor. He looked at her and he blinked.

"Jera..." He blinked then suddenly she leapt at him attacking him. "Whoa!!!"

Gohan blocked suddenly. "Hey-! What-?" He was knocked to the ground forcefully and he grunted as she pounced on him. He tried to move but realised she had overpowered him. "Jer-" He began.

Suddenly her mouth dominated his hungrily and almost wildly. "mhrp?!"

He pulled his mouth back as she looked down on him her eyes darkened. "Jera... we've got party guests..." Gohan breathed although this was true, he made no move to fight her. She looked at him and he felt her hand run over his chest and he groaned.

"Not now... damn... you..." His tail whipped about, of all times for her get in the mood.

"Paaaaaaaaaaaaapaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Pan's chibi voice cried out looking or them.

Gohan heard J'dee groan and he looked at her still holding him down.

"Tonight after everyone's gone." He whispered.

J'dee smirked at him. "Nah-uh.... I'll give you twenty minutes, meet me in the bedroom orrrrrr I'll make tonight a living hell for you." She kissed him passionately slipping up walking off.

Gohan stood up and he let out a breath and brushed himself down. 'One minute she wants to fight the next she looks like she wants to tear my clothes off and then bam back to normal... I'll never understand her.' He straightened his cape up.

"Paaaaaaaapaaaaaaaa!" Pan ran up to him. He smiled and ruffled her hair.

"What's up sweetie?"

"Uncle Vegeta's here..." Pan smiled.

"Okay is Bra here too?"

"Uh-huh!! I'm gunna go play."

"Behave okay?"

"Kay."

Gohan watched as Pan ran off and Gohan wandered back to the party to see J'dee already on the dance floor and he sighed. Vegeta was trying to take the musketeer hat off but was slapped across the back of the head by Bulma every time he tried.

"ONNA!!!" Vegeta bellowed.

"Behave Vegeta."

"This is completely pathetic. I refuse to stay in this absurd outfit."

"Hey Vegeta! Glad you could come." Gohan smiled.

"The onna made me." Vegeta crossed his arms like some spoilt child.

***

Bail Out

*Raine*

"You're positive you're okay?" Yamcha asked. Tsunami hadn't left her room since the party started. Never really was the partying type, her parents forbade it. He sat across from her in a chair, still very concerned. She looked up at him with a warm smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You sure you don't wanna go to the party? It'll be fun," Yamcha formed a smile. She shook her head, turning to the side, "That's okay. My parents kinda drilled it into my head that parties usually meant strangers, drinks and chaos."

Yamcha chuckled and took a seat beside her, an arm wrapping around her. On reflex, she cuddled up beside him. Man, she missed being in his arms. And he smelled so good. Her tail began to sway. She looked up into his eyes, "Go and enjoy the party. I'll be ready to go home when you are."

Yamcha sighed and kissed her, "There's no swaying your opinion, is there?"

She smiled and kissed him back, "Go on."

Once he was gone, she took a deep breath and exhaled. She was worried he'd never leave. She stood up and spoke her wish mentally. She now stood in a pair of black jeans. Her top was a green camouflage spaghetti-strap shirt, the V-line cutting like a bikini-top. Her long brown tail bristled behind her, signaling her nervousness. Hanging from her shoulder was a semi-large blue duffel bag. On her feet were black boots and she wore her signature silver hoop earrings. With a deep breath, she opened the door to her guestroom and made her way out.

She probably stood out because she was the only person in the area not wearing a costume. She spotted Yamcha's back somewhere in the group of party-goers. She managed to remain calm as she continued on her way to the backdoor when she felt a tug on her jeans. She looked down to see little Pan looking up at her with wide black eyes.

"Nani?" Tsunami inquired, squatting down before the little Son child. She smiled, "I'm glad you're feeling better now Tsunami."

She couldn't help but smile and gently rubbed the girl's spiky hair.

"I'm glad too. Thanks for caring," she stood upright and continued on her way. She couldn't hear the little girl asking where she was headed.

She had opted to her destination. She still had a big fear of heights and after that episode with Piccolo, she wasn't willing to try it again. As she ran, she pondered, What did happen to Piccolo, anyway?

All that left her head when she finally reached it: the forest. She had concentrated while in her room and managed to get a fix on his ki. The other saiiyans were there too. And someone else. Someone familiar.

Damn, should've trained more with this thing..She walked through the forest silently, clinging to the duffel bag. Her somewhat bright clothing would attract saiiyan eyes, she knew. That was what she was counting on. She placed down her duffel bag and began to search through it.

They still hadn't found the Namekian woman, and it was getting late. He shook his head digusted. They were saiiyans! Hunting should've been second nature to them. He shrugged it off, though. He had other things to think about. That's when it hit him. And it him so hard he came to a screeching halt in midflight.

The woman! His eyes widened. He couldn't believe it! She practically came to him! A great big grin filled his features as he quickly blasted off in her direction. He wondered if the onna would be ready for a second round.

Yamcha was enjoying the party somewhat, but it was still missing something. Someone rather. He really wanted to bring Tsunami along with him, but she refused. He wouldn't force her into it. Maybe he'd plan something for just the two of them.

Making his way over to her guest room, he knocked on the door. And got no answer. Odd. He knocked again but still got no reply. Turning the knob, he stepped inside to find the place empty. A grin formed on his face. Maybe she decided to join in after all! He quickly headed back outside in hopes of finding her, but to no avail. He felt a tug at his pant leg and looked down to see Pan.

"Hey kiddo," he heft her into his arms, "What's up? Have you seen Tsunami anywhere?"

"Mm-hmm, she came out of her room and left out the backdoor," she explained. Yamcha's brow rose and he placed her down, heading out the back. Concentrating, he tried to seek out her ki and flew after it.

Upon arrival, Turles landed and began to look around. She was near. He pointed his nose skyward and inhaled, and it made him shudder.

She's DEFINITELY here...Her scent was more alluring than ever! And it drove him wild! He licked his lips and quickly began to run towards her ki.

Only to fall into a deep pit with sharp metal spikes protruding upward from the floor. He stopped quickly and flew back up. How could he have been caught off guard so easily? He growled and continued to seek out the woman's ki.

The second time, his head was nearly knocked off by a swinging wooden beam that came down out of nowhere and swung back up into the treetops. He panted but then smiled and gave a feral growl. The woman was still fighting him. He'd play along. He stood upright and then phased out.

A gasp.

He smirked and phased back into appearance before her, throwing her to the ground and climbing on top of her. She screamed and struggled and he chuckled, taking in a deep breath of her scent. His mouth began to water and he looked into her eyes.

"It seems I have caught you again woman," he said in a low tone, licking his lips. A blast of her ki knocked him off of her and up against a mountain wall. She was on her feet in an instant and growling at him.

"Have you finally decided to join your mate?" he asked as he began to approach her. She scowled, "I have no mate."

Turles chuckled again, stopping behind her, "Yes you do."

He gently pushed back her hair to spot the mark on her neck, "I claimed you the night I took you..." he gently touched it, earning a shivering moan from Tsunami. He smirked, "You are mine, woman."

She quickly pulled away from him. The lust in his eyes was even stronger than ever, "You smell so good I could eat you up...what happened to you?"

She smirked and snapped her fingers. From underneath, a net made of thick black vines lifted and trapped him, hanging him from a branch. The saiiyan struggled and growled. He tried to power up and use his ki to burn it, but it backfired, heating up the vines and thus hurting him. He turned at the sound of her laugh.

"Not so tough now, are we?" Tsunami asked with a confident smirk. He growled, "Let me out."

"Hah, you're serious?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips and walking towards him.

"I said I didn't want you. To let me go. You ignored me, you took one of the most precious and sacred things in my possession. And you dare to order me to release you?" she said in a deathly calm tone. She pointed a finger at the net and it released an electric charged that shocked the saiiyan confined in it. He growled and struggled in the impenetrable net. Tsunami scoffed, "Are you angry? That's good. I had actually planned this in the morning after I had a talk with a friend. The reason my scent is stronger is because I chose to make it so. I created those traps to lead you into this one. Now you can pay for what you did to me.

Did you really think I would willingly become your mate? That I'd forget about Yamcha for you? You're cold-hearted, murderous bastard with nothing on your mind but food, fighting and females. I could never feel for a guy like you. And besides, do I really look like to type to sit around all day raising brats?"

She was only a few inches to his face, "Y'know, back in my world, we'd have discussions about world issues: poverty, hunger, money, abortion, rape. Whenever the discussion came up, I always said that the guy who committed the crime should get a life-sentence...or castrated."

Turles paled, "You can't do this to me! What about our child?!"

Tsunami had to resist the urge to laugh, "Oh, about that: I can't have any children. Not before marriage anyway. While I was here, I made a silent wish to conceal my eggs. They each have a barrier around them to prevent fertilization. Hmm, must've slipped my mind."

Turles growled, "Trickster!"

"Oh, time's up. I have to find a suitable punishment for you before the others begin to wonder where I am," she pointed her finger at the net and Turles was electrocuted again.

"Ah! You'd kill me?" Turles asked. Tsunami shook her head, "Nope, 'fraid not. Damned morals. Unfortunately, I can't kill you because it's wrong to take a life. You didn't create it so you have no right to take it. And besides, a second death is way too good for you. I think torturing you slowly will do."

Turles braced himself for another wave of pain when they both picked up a familiar ki level.

"The human." Tsunami sighed, "It looks like you've lucked out this time, Turles."

"You mean you're leaving me here?" Turles looked at her incredulously. She shrugged, "Yeah. You're buddies won't be able to free you because they aren't authors, nor are they at my level of power. I was just gonna electrocute you anyway. Now I can think up a more gruesome punishment for you. Nighty night!"

She walked off, leaving a speechless and pissed saiiyan trapped in a net.

What Tsunami neglected to tell Turles was that the net also hid his ki. She couldn't help but giglgle as she was greeting by strong, muscular arms eveloping her in a tight embrace. She sighed, melting into it. Her arms made their way around his neck and she buried her face in his chest, "I missed you."

Yamcha chuckled, "I've only been gone a few minutes."

"And that's long enough," she looked up, "What are you doing here?"

"I came for you. You weren't in your room and Pan said you left. How about we just head home," Yamcha suggested and Tsunami nodded.

Yamcha held her tightly to him as he flew home, her face buried in his chest. He smiled at her kawaiiness. Someday he'd have to train her out of this acrophobia of hers. They soon made their way into the apartment where Puar was fast asleep on the couch. The two smiled and tip-toed away from her. They stopped in front of Tsunami's room and looked at each other. Yamcha placed his hand behind his head and gave a silly grin, "Well, I guess this is where we go our seperate ways."

He began to walk off.

"Yamcha.."

He stopped and turned to face her, "Yes?"

Tsunami took a deep breath, prepping for his reaction, "I don't want to sleep alone tonight."

*Tobias / Mabelle / Piccoloz Girl / Jan / S'rac*

We stood on the front step and knocked, we were greeted by Gohan and I smiled as I showed him my costume and Toby's.

"Whatcha think?" I asked as I twirled around. He chuckled.

"You look tough," he laughed as he led the way into the house. I snuggled against Toby and sighed as we walked into the main area where there was food. J'dee and S'rac seemed to be arguing but I didn't understand a word of it.

*****

Tobias snacked his face, and muttered, "Idiots." CLANG! CLANG-CLANG! Tobias cried out and clutched his Alien head and felt the three new bumps under his costume head. He was about to make the costume hiss at Mabelle when he glowed for a second. Now he was standing there in a Hicks uniform, a pulse gun in his hands. He growled and turned to Jan.

"What? I didn't do it!" Jan cried and took off.

*****

"I did it," I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. "I wanted to see your face when we danced." I kissed him again and he smirked against my lips. I felt a slight pull at my pants and I looked down into a pair of beautiful black eyes. I smiled at Pan as I broke from Toby's gasp and looked down at the little girl.

"Hi, I'm Pan" she said as she tilted her head to the side and I felt my heart melt.

"Hi, I'm Mabelle," I said as I looked at her, my head tilted the same way.

"Wanna play with Bra, Uubu, and me?" she asked and I smiled as I looked at Toby.

"Go ahead," he chuckled and I smiled as I took Pan's hand into my own.

"Lead the way," I said as I waved back at Tobias. "So what are we going to play?" "Hide and seek, and you're it!" Pan cried as I looked out the backyard, which was near a forest, and the three children ran off into the woods and I sighed.

"Great. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Ready or not here I come!" I cried out happily as I jumped over the side of the porch and into the forest.

*****

I giggled as I watched J'dee interact with the others. She seemd kind of depressed about something but eh, it happens. I smiled to myself as I watched S'rac go off to flirt with that crazy girl in the bana suit. Fine if he didn't want me, then I would make him jealous. I went up behind J'dee who was dancing on the dance floor.

"Minf if I cut in?" I purred into her ear, earning a frown. I snickered and began to grind up behind her. The group around us began to murmur as J'dee began to get into the dance. I laid my hands on her hips as she closed her eyes. She probably thought I was Gohan. I smirked as I leaned over her shoulder and gave her a kiss on the lips.

*****

I growled as I edge up along the side of the cave towards the opening of the cave. There was the sound of a girl crying and another yelling. Were they my daughters? Or were some children being tortured for the fun of it? I wasn't about to let those apes hurt some children!

"Get away from them you dirty monkeys!" I cried as I stood there in my gi. It was a black gi with a V-neck top over a white tube top and it was a skirt with shorts under it. My boots were Namekian.

"Lady Piccolo!" a child cried and I could see the group of six males standing around the campfire with two little girls in the center by the fire. It was Pan and a little blue haired girl, Bra. "Don't cry, Bra, she'll save us!" I got into a fighting stance as I looked at the Saiyans.

"Well, well, well, the Namekian Bitch has come out of her hiding spot," Raditz said as he looked at me and I gulped. I powered up.

"Let the girls go," I said as I calmed down, I could fight, hell, I had been kicked out of school three times for finishing fights.

"No way, these girls are part Saiyan, we can smell it! We're keeping them!" Nappa said. He smiled as he picked up Bra by the back of her dress. I bared my fangs as I watched Raditz pick up Pan, holding her away from him.

"I think I should teach you a little respect," one of the other Saiyans said and I gulped. I knew I wasn't going to be walking away from this one.

*****

"I hate this ridiculous get up!" Vegeta snapped as he walked out onto the porch where Tobias was looking over the grass, watching the chibis play. Vegeta DID look ridiculous, especially with his hair being forced under the hat. He glanced at Tobias and looked around.

"Baka!" he hissed at him. Tobias frowned gave Vegeta a puzzled look.

"What is it Prince Vegeta?" Tobias asked, sipping his scotch. Mabelle had disappeared a bit ago, and he thought he had seen her gone off to play with the chibis.

"My future brat has set up a poker table in the basement, and only myself, Kakarot, and his eldest brat know about it. Are you any good?" he asked. Tobias looked surprised and Vegeta smirked.

"Your inviting me to join you for a card game?" he asked, surprised. Vegeta nodded, and made a silencing gesture.

"Be quiet about it baka, the onnas have no idea. We invited the one you call S'rac as well since that nympho sister of yours has been harassing him and Kakarot's eldest's mate. Well baka?" he asked. Tobias looked around saw Jan grinding up behind J'dee to everyone's shock. They could slip off in the distraction....... He nodded and they slipped away as there was a loud cry of shock from the group. Deciding he didn't want to know, he followed Vegeta threw the hidden door and closed it behind them making it look like another part of the wall. They walked down and saw a small radio playing light rock music as MT, S'rac, Gohan, and Goku placing Saiyin sized bowls of Doritos and pretzels in bowls on the large table. Tobias grinned.

*****

S'rac chuckled as he walked outside to get some fresh air. He sipped his drink and looked up into the slowly darkening skys. He'd had a fun time so far. Hadn't danced too much, but there were plenty of people to talk to. After staring at the sky, blankly for a few minutes, he was interrupted by a familar voice, "Hi! I'm we're gonna play some cards downstairs and were wondering if ya wanted to play."

S'rac looked down to see Goku, smiling the Son Grin at him.

"Uh, sure Goku!" S'rac said back smiling.

"All right then. Just follow me!" he said, motioning for S'rac to follow. S'rac to another sip of his drink and turned to follow Goku. Goku led him through what appeared to be a secret opening in the wall. S'rac walked down the stairs, to see Mirai, Gohan, and Vegeta getting things ready for the game.

"Come on, let's go get some snacks!" Goku said. S'rac nodded, smiled, and followed.

*****

"Bitch!" J'dee hissed, and I smirked as I saw a brief M appear on her fore head. I snickered, and gently brushed by her to the door, taking her pendant. She was unaware, as I slipped it into my pocket and out the door.

"Good work, Jan." said a male voice near the door. I smiled and turned to the source. There stood Blake with Babidi, Lady Tri, and Lady Seru.

"I aim to please." I purred, and Blake snickered.

"It was wise to send you that message threw Babidi's telepathy. Now come, we must prepare for your brother and his bitch." Lady Seru said. Babidi snickered.

"I have already sent some Saiyins to take care fo the bitch." he said and everyone laughed as they took off.

*****

I felt worried as I carried Uubu on my shoulders and I wondered where Pan and Bra were. This was bad, we'd been out for about half an hour and I still hadn't found them.

"Where are you Panny?" Uubu cried and I caught the scent of a Saiyan male. I growled low in my throat, what the hell was wrong with me? Suddenly I got the mental image of Pan and Bra being hurt by Saiyan males and I growled more.

"Uubu, go back to the house," I said as I sat him down on the grass. He nodded and ran back towards the house. I moved downwind of the scent and I saw firelight and I could smell blood. I quickly moved through the forest and looked into the clearing, I could see six Saiyan males, all of them were below SSJ. I smirked until I saw that (the two HAD to be) Nappa and Raditz were holding Pan and Bra. I started to growl as I saw the form of a Saiyan beating on something small. I watched in horror as the form was thrown into the light on the far side of the campfire. I could see the green skin, purple hair, and a lot of purple blood. I growled as I stepped out as the Saiyan beating on her lifted her up so they were face-to-face.

"Put her down!" I growled as I powered up.

*****

I looked up to see a woman standing tall and I thanked Dende, I was getting my butt kicked and I watched as she began her attack. Taking out the one who had been after me first and then the rest fell on her. I got up, groaning at the effort I saw that Raditz and Nappa were standing back with the girls still in their arms. I turned back in wonder as I felt the power of the girl raise and suddenly there was a flash of light and the five warriors that had attacked her lay around unconscious.

"Put them down," she said as she looked at Nappa and Raditz.

"And who would you be, their mother?" Nappa asked and the woman laughed as she glared at him.

"Do I look like I could be their mother? I'm here to collect them!" she growled and Nappa handed Bra over to Raditz.

"You'll have to get through me then," he chuckled as he attacked. It didn't last long and I watched the look of terror that covered Raditz's face.

"Here you go!" he cried as he dropped the kids and ran. I watched the woman hug the girls to her and then walk over to me.

"Are you okay?" she asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I think there are several ribs broken, my leg isn't responding, and I'm minus and arm," I said as I finally realized that I was missing an arm.

"Here," she closed her eyes and suddenly a bag appeared in her hands. I was thrilled when she handed me a senzu bean. I quickly ate it and suddenly I felt better. I concentrated and watched as my arm regenerated and I stood up.

"Thank you, um," I didn't know her name.

"I'm Mabelle," she said in a sing-song voice and I smiled as I shook her hand.

"Tatsu," I said and I felt for Piccolo's ki, he had to be worried about me now. He was in the direction that Mabelle had come from.

"Why don't you join us at the party at Gohan's?" she said as she placed Pan on her shoulders and held Bra.

"Um, well, Piccolo's already there I think, so, why not?" I laughed as I placed my hand behind my head.

"This way," she said as she led the way.

*****

I was shocked when I was buried under a pile of Namekian children with Tatsu. Pan and Bra began to laugh as the Namekian children rushed up to Tatsu and began crying about their 'Mommy'.

"Tatsu, thank Dende!" Piccolo cried as he grabbed the girl/woman and kissed her passionately. *Sorry, PG-01 I had to write that* He pulled away and I watched as the two of them realized they had done that in front of everyone.

"Mommy, you're okay," one of the little boys said and I smiled as I looked down at him.

"Yes I am, thanks to Mabelle here," she said as she smiled at me.

"We owe you our thanks," Piccolo said and I blushed, as I always do when I'm complimented.

"No need, I was glad to help," I quickly got away from the group of people and headed to the back of the room. Gosh, I hated to be the center of attention like that, heck, I always tried to avoid stuff like that. I pulled out my tarot card and began to shuffle them absently.

"You know how to use those?" I looked up at J'dee and nodded.

"Yep," I said as I smiled. "Want a reading?"

"Sure," she smiled and I kneeled on the carpet and indicated she take the same position across from me.

*****

"I fold." Gohan snapped, slapping his cards down, disgusted. S'rac folded as well. That left only Goku, MT, Vegeta, and Tobias. Goku scratched his head and turned one of the cards around.

"Ummm......I bend." he said, putting them down. Vegeta just shook his head and placed 2 three hundred zenni chips onto the table.

"I raise you six hundred zenni." Vegeta smirked. Tobias kept his face neutral as he didn't even glanced at his card calling and raising Vegeta.

"I call your six hundred, and raise you another thousand." Gohan whisteled as MT made a choking sound.

"I fold." MT said, and Vegeta smirked.

"I see your thousand, and raise you seven thousand." he said. Goku's eyes went wide as these guys began to throw away their money.

"Uh, I don't think Tobias can call that Vegeta." Gohan said. Tobias kept his poker face and pulled out his wallet. He pulled out a pink piece of paper and placed it on the table.

"The deed to my cabin and the thousand acers around it. That in itself is worth sixty thousand." Tobias said, and everyone, but Vegeta, stared in shock.

"Uh, Tobias, Mabelle will kill you if you lose your home." S'rac said, but Tobias kept a poker face, not even acknowledging him. This had become a staring contest between Vegeta and Tobias. Vegeta smirked, and placed ten capsules on the table.

"My last remaining Royal Saiyin armor, three top of the line Gravity Rooms, a bottom less fridge I wished for from Shenlong, and my black convertible. I call." Vegeta said, laying down his cards and everyone but Tobias groaned.

*****

"Okay," I whispered as I felt my energy running into the cards and their energy running into me. "First we need a card to represent you." I pulled the top card off and smiled as I placed the High Priestess down and smirked. "This is the part where I do all the talking, I'll place the cards and then tell you what they say." She looked at me like I was saying the obvious. "I need complete silence so bear with me."

"This is my Significator," I said as I placed the High Priestess on the floor and I watched in wonder as the picture of the solemn woman in blue and white robes changed into a picture of J'dee herself. I looked up to see if J'dee had seen the same thing, but she sat there as if nothing had happened. I shut my mouth and pulled the next card placing it over the High Priestess. "This covers her." The Magician card stared up at me...only it wasn't the picture of the man with a wand and red robes, but an image of Babidi. I gulped as I looked at him, he looked quite evil and...alive.

"This crosses her," I placed down the Knight of Swords, a battle card and I could see in it what appeared to be a great battle between various Z-senshi and authors...amongst ourselves??

"This crowns her," I put the Fortitude card down, the image of a happy reunion between J'dee a woman and a young man was on the card.

"This is beneath her," I placed the Eight of Swords down and I could see J'dee standing over the body of the woman with tears in her eyes.

"This is behind her," I put the Five of Cups down, I could see J'dee unhappily surrounded by books and the image of the woman and a man fighting in the background.

"This is before her," I said and gasped. The card was suppose to be the six of wands but instead I saw an image of Blake standing over J'dee as she looked confused and lost. I put my hand up as J'dee went to say something. I placed four cards down and felt fear creep up into my heart. The Five of Pentacles was the image of us standing battle worn and tired. Then the Two of Cups showed me and Toby standing facing each other, I was in tears and he looked like his heart was breaking. The Three of Swords was me on my knees crying as Kakuna and Tatsu tried to comfort me. And last was the Three of Cups and I looked at the black nothingness on the card...nothing was certain. I sat up and gulped.

"What?" J'dee asked as she realized I was done. I looked at her and wondered, was Babidi already in her head.

"You are going to be going through a hard time soon, but you have passed the worse. You no longer have to worry about your father. However, there is going to be a BIG battle coming up and you will be betrayed by someone you once trusted," I said as I tried to figure out the last part of the reading. In the end you will overcome this betrayal, I don't know how but if you stay strong I know you will. After this upcoming battle we will go for one last adventure. I see Toby and I sharing a heartfelt good-bye, I'll be alone with only Tatsu and Kakuna for comfort, and after that I can't say. I believe this represents all of the other authors leaving, including you. Leaving the three of us I named alone."

"What?" she cried and I looked at her.

"And you are going to betray us too," I whispered I could see the Babidi card had the image of J'dee with the 'M' on her forehead. "You will become someone else's puppet."

*****

"Good, it is time Babidi." I heard Blake say. Babidi nodded, and he began to chant. I saw the Saiyins we had taken under our wing turn Majin with the M's glowing on thier foreheads. They immeaditely took off, for Mabelle.

"Give me her pendant." Babidi said, and I handed him the pendant. He began to chant.....

*****

"A full house!" Goku exclaimed, cheerfully. "Wow, Vegeta."

"I guess this means I win baka." Vegeta said, beginning to pull everything to him. Tobias grabbed his hands and Vegeta's eyes flashed. Tobias gave a smirk and laid down his cards, everyone gasping.

"A royal flush! Holy shit!" MT exclaimed as Tobias pried Vegeta's shocked hands from the chips, capsules, and deed.

"Thanks Vegeta." Tobias said, as he gave the chips to Gohan for the money.

"Why you little!" Vegeta snarled, beginning to power up. Everyone looked to the other backing away from the two men. Then there was a scream from upstairs, and they whipped their heads to the door. In a flash they flew up the stairs and out the door (though Tobias snatched all his money, capsules, and his deed, which he gave a kiss). There was J'dee clutching her head. Tobias locked eyes with Mabelle, who looked a bit frazzled but not much, in between them was an arrangement of cards on the floor. Tobias watched as J'dee screamed seeming to struggle internally. His costume decided to change back just then and he was dressed as an Alien again, as J'dee powered up to Super Saiyin.

"J'dee!" Gohan cried, rushing to her. She back handed him away as she struggled, and Gohan was thrown outside. J'dee screamed again and blasted off into the night air, smashing another hole in the roof.

"Gohan!" Tobias shouted as Mabelle took off after J'dee. Tobias went to help Gohan up but he was just batted aside. Gohan glared at Tobias as he got up.

"First you harass my family, then you drive my ex-wife away from her own child and now you make my mate go insane! Leave me alone!" Gohan screamed, racing after J'dee. S'rac walked over to Tobias.

"What's going on, Toby?" he asked.

"I don't know but I got a BAD feeling about this!"

*****

S'rac grumbled as he folded, once again. He grumbled, unhappily. He'd never played cards much, but he did know how to play Poker a bit. Even so, Vegeta and Tobias had both been winning the whole time. He sighed, as Vegeta put down a full house. He tried to pull everything everyone had bid to him, but Tobias held him back, and placed a Royal Flush on the table. S'rac's eyes went wide and he let his face hit the table. Tobias pulled everthing to him with a Vegeta-like smirk. Everyone backed away as Vegeta powered up to fight Tobias, when they heard a scream from upstairs. S'rac turned around and he, with everyone else jumped out of their chairs and rushed upstairs to see what was wrong. When S'rac got upstairs, he was surprised to see J'dee clutching her head and screaming in agony, as if something was torturing her. She yelled even louder and turned Super Saiya.

"J'dee!" Gohan yelled, rushing up to her, only to be back-handed outside. She gave a final yell, and blasted off into the night sky. Mabelle flew off after her, as Tobias tried to help Gohan up, but he was only pushed away, as Gohan yelled at him, before blasting off after J'dee, as well. S'rac walked up to Tobias as said,

"What's going on Toby?" in a seriouus voice.

"I don't know but I have a BAD feeling about this!" he said, staring after the three who had just flown off into the night.

S'rac stood there, thinking for a moment, wondering if he should fly after them. 'That looked familiar,' he thought to himself, as he tried to figure out where he'd seen something like that. An image flashed in his head, as his eyes widened. 'BABIDI!!!'

*****

I felt that sickness I got when I was near evil people build up, but I shoved it back down as I began to search for J'dee, if she got away from us then she'd be easier for Babidi to capture. I growled as I searched for her ki, there was nothing, it was like she simply disappeared off the face of the planet. I sighed as I landed on the branch of a tree. I could hear voices and I wondered. Should I follow them??

*VegeChan*

I suppose telling you this doesn't really matter, but I've never really been to a costume party before. So, you can imagine my giddiness when Trunks and I left our home at C.C. to go to Gohan's.

Hand in hand, my mate and I flew through the air, both anticipating our arrival. 'I wonder what everyone else looks like,' I ponder. 'I might even see a few dressed as characters I know.' *mental beam*

Getting there was easy and everything had gone as I'd expected and so much more! But, deep down, the moment my feet touched the ground, my mental alarm system began to ring. Looking about me in adverse confusion, I searched the mob of randomly dressed people, some of whom I did not recognize. I couldn't place it, and the sensation hadn't left me.

Hoping that maybe I'm overreacting and only being subjected to a pregnant induced side effect, I managed to place my unease upon the back burner. I would not let my paranoia ruin my day, all because of some 'feeling' I'm getting. All my life, I'd been overcome with these bouts of odd sensations, all of which had resulted in some misfortune or a warning to the future of an impending doom. I have an unnatural attraction to trouble. Of course, maybe this time I could be wrong, but not once have I been incorrect in my predictions. Such is what left me an outcast among my peers. They never understood why I came down with bouts of splitting headaches or why I could move things without touching them. People fear what they cannot comprehend… So, most of my childhood was spent in libraries, allowing my mind to grow without their influences.

Turning away from my thoughts, I occupy myself with the glass of punch my mate has brought. I smile, loving the feel of a strong arm wrapped around my shoulder in comfort.

Enough with reminiscing of the past, what is done is done. I'm glad that I don't have to go back. I have a choice and my place is here, with the man I love.

Without really paying attention, I find myself wandering away from the crowds of people towards a more secluded area of the yard. It just so happens, I find that I wasn't the only one who'd wanted to be alone.

I am met with the cold gaze of Vegeta, dressed in a musketeer's outfit. At his feet laid the garish hat adorned with a large peacock feather, thrust to the side with little or no care as to how it fell. I'm sure it wasn't him who'd chosen to dress in such a way and for a moment, I pitied him, realizing that Bulma must've blackmailed him into it. Trying hard not to laugh, I took a slow step forward and asked, "Mind the company?"

Offering a rare smile, he stepped aside and kicked the hat disdainfully to the front of him. "Finding large groups to much for you too?"

I nodded, crossing my arms casually. "I suppose I'm not feeling up to it for some reason."

"Whatever for?" He asked.

Trying hard to mask the pain in my eyes, I shrugged, looking ahead towards the mountainous terrain, privately admiring the beautiful scene.

"Are you not well?" His gaze immediately fell to my midsection, signaling to me as to what he's referring to.

"No, Vegeta. It's not that." Wrapping my arms tighter around me, I close my eyes, flashes of blue and white pervading the darkness. Why can't this place ever be at peace?

I suppose I could answer my own question, this is Dragonball Z. Nothing is ever quiet. Perhaps, that is why I love this world so much.

Hearing him positioning himself closer to me, I prepare for the questions that will follow. "Mind telling me then?"

"I have this ability. Even when I was just a normal person, in the other world, I was born with it. Call it, clairvoyance, telepathy, telekinesis… It's a combination of it all, but… I am able to sense and predict things."

He nodded, his curiosity piquing.

Wincing, I lean hard against the side of the house, fighting a wave of dizziness. "There is a disturbance…" I can't pass out. Normally something like this doesn't happen unless it's really bad. Damnit… Willing myself to remain conscious, I bite the inside of my cheek, drawing blood.

His hand supported me as I struggled. His scent had changed. I can smell his fear for me. He knows, due to the time distortion of mine and the others' being here. He knew my mother, the saiyan. She had gifts such as this, far stronger and more terrifying in her adulthood. In a world that knew little of her talent, she was forced to endure it alone… Apparently, he could see that I had inherited her abilities. So much for keeping secrets…

"What is it?"

I couldn't answer too busy focusing upon the sudden vision that I was overcome with. Reality had no meaning, anything and everything had lost physicality and I was left floating in a black void, waiting.

With patience, I opened my eyes, glowing white with the second sight, my body thrashing involuntarily, back arching in pain upon the touch of an invisible attacker.

I'm cold, my breath escaping my lips in cloudy whisps. His hands are ice cold, clutching the broken chain of a pendant that I quickly recognize as the pentagram that I've seen hanging around Jaydee's neck.

She is thrust back, the cold hand releasing its hold upon her. He has what he wanted and now she is left crumpled upon the floor. A smaller hooded creature steps forth, bulging eyes scantily covered. His sharp little tongue releases the quick incantations of a spell, words that I am not familiar with.

I know, even though I wish to help her, I am only able to bear witness… This hasn't even happened yet, but I try none the less. Fated be, I have more power over the astral plane than I realized… I stood before the creature, fists clenched in anger. How dare he hurt her… Feeling heroic, I push forth my power, wave after wave of psi-energy enveloping the creature, squeezing tightly around him.

Those large glistening eyes turned to me, widening in a mixture of confusion and surprise.

"A force," it hissed. "My plans will not be ruined!" Screeching in yet another droll of the foreign language, I held up my arms in defense. Strangely enough, no harm comes to me and I open my eyes once again. I know him by name from the majin buu saga… The sick little roach guy named Babidi…

Holding out a hand, I fend off yet another attack, only to watch in horror as a wall of energy sped forth, my hand burning as it phased through. I could not scream, my voice lost in wave of power… Opening my mouth, I lose the hold of my concentration, power seeping through my pores as my mental barriers are shattered… My last thought was… 'Will I live?'

*J'dee*

The reading had got her thinking long and hard about the future. Something she hated. Future. She believed in the now. Brushing a strand of hair out of her face she sighed defeated. The end. There was always an end to everything. But this was too good to end. She was happy here. Gohan she'd found happiness in him. She felt her cheeks heat up thinking on it. She closed her eyes and her fingers went to clutch her pendant and she stopped. It was gone. She looked down she lost all forms of protection on her body. No protection what so ever. The pentacle gone, the trinity gone. Blake was out in those woods too. Babity as well. She twitched nervously.

Her past. The things she'd done to others. The bad things. The people she'd hurt. She hadn't meant to hurt them but they'd been in the way of her anger. In the way. Everyone was always in her way. She felt the prodding at the back of her skull. All kinds of memories sufficing. The girl she nearly killed in anger, she still remembered the blood on her hands and school uniform. J'dee had been seven. Her body began to twitch nervously. She tried not to think on the girl's unconscious body. She had not comprehended at that stage that hurting others was wrong, just cause she had always been hurt.

She saw Mabelle just looking at her. Was it concern or did she know. A pure heart always knows when it's round evil.

'Evil...' She thought panicked. "I- don't feel to good." She tried to stand to leave to get out to lie down when her body twitched and then the most agonising pain in her head abruptly stabbed her and she doubled over.

"VISION..." It was always a reaction. Always now since being in this world she had to call out when it was happening.

She saw Jan handing her pendant over to Babity. He took the pendant. He had something that belonged to her. He could do ANYTHING to her. It was common knowledge among those that did magick. Mana... Her mana he was going to put her through pain. She knew Babity would.

'A par-pidi pa!!'

J'dee's eyes flew open and she gasped.

"J'dee chan?" She looked up seeing Selene standing there. The smile on her face.

"Yes..." She stood up shakily. Mabelle looked at her and J'dee smiled. "I'm okay. It's normal... everything will be fine." She was more assuring her self than anything.

'I gotta find Babity! But that little slug wizard could be ANYWHERE.' She thought.

She could suddenly feel the magick coursing through her body and she could feel the location of everyone, she was getting stronger, more powerful. But how, she was fully aware of Kakuna near by the most though. She rubbed the side of her head.

Then she could hear it in her head. She could hear Babity's voice.

"ALOT HELP THAT DID!!!" She screamed at the powers that be, before she lost complete control over her mind and body.
