Trunks sat on the couch, watching over the girls who slept soundly. Bulma walked into the room and smiled to herself. "They look so innocent when they're sleeping.." Bulma said. Trunks nodded absently as Quartina wiggled around to get comfortable. "You wanna help me clean up?" Bulma asked looking in Trunks' direction. "Yeah sure, by the looks of it, these two might not wake up for a while." Trunks replied as he slowly got up. "Gee, I sure hope no one got hurt when the girls were in their ape form." Trunks thought to himself. Trunks started to pick up plates from the tables outside, as he did he looked up at the moon. It had a slight red tinge to it. Trunks looked at it curiously, then took the plates back inside.

Trunks woke with a start, to the blood-curdling scream of the black haired female Saiya-jin, known as Somika. Trunks ran into the living room, which was where Somika and Quartina slept, to find Somika stomping around the room. "WHERE'S OUR TAILS?" she screamed looking under pillows, flower vases and couches. Trunks grabbed the screaming youth by the shoulders and shook her. "Somika, your tail will not be under any pillows, vases or couches, sit down and I'll tell you what happened." Trunks said sternly. Somika sighed and tried to come back to reality. "You're right…" Somika said panting slightly. Quartina sat up and yawned. Quartina looked over at the pillow next to her and lifted it up, underneath it was a furry, white tail. "He he, you were wrong, look! I found mine!" Quartina stated happily. "What?!?" Trunks asked astonished. "I found my tail!" Quartina said holding up the white tail that flicked from side to side. "But, but, Piccolo…How?" Trunks managed to stutter. "Quartina's lucky, her tail grows back really quickly, I'm going to have to wait, just as I am right now, for your explanation?" Somika said tapping her foot impatiently at Trunks. "Oh yeah, just sit down and I'll tell you." Trunks said motioning for Somika to sit down next to Quartina.

"Oh no! We didn't hurt anyone did we?" Quartina asked, eyes wide with shock. "I'm hoping not, but turning into giant apes can do that." Trunks replied. Somika crossed her arms and closed her eyes as if disappointed. "What's wrong Somm-ee?" Quartina asked. Somika didn't reply, but her eyes closed tighter. "I…I can feel someone coming…" Somika replied after a while. Trunks and Quartina felt it too. Soon the doorbell rang, Bulma walked over and answered. "Gohan, Goku come in!" Trunks heard his mother's voice say. Gohan came running in happily, Goku and Bulma walked in soon after. "QUARTINA, SOMIKA!" Gohan yelled as he ran up to the girls. "Hey, your tail grew back, did yours grow back too, Somika?" Gohan asked looking from the snow-white tail to Somika's, almost cross looking black eyes. Somika grunted. "No." She replied bluntly. "How's my little cousin then?" Goku asked ruffling Somika's fringe. "Tail-less…" Somika said, a small smile crossing her features. "And how are you little one?" Goku asked looking from Somika to Quartina. "I'm tail- err, not less!" Quartina replied happily. Goku smiled. Quartina jumped down from the couch and went off to play with Gohan. "Ok kiddo, I'm gonna go train for the androids, you and Quartina be good for Trunks, ok." Goku said winking. "Ok, but be careful, you're the only family I have left." Somika said hugging Goku. Trunks looked at the two, they did look a lot alike. Goku turned to leave but he stopped and frowned. "I feel something coming." Goku stated. Somika jumped up. "I can feel it too, it's him, the guy that was chasing us!" Somika said. Gohan and Quartina looked over too. "Get ready guys…" Goku said…

Oh no! The guy is coming! He he, sorry it took a while, buddy. I really like the family thing between Goku and Somika ^^ Hmm, if Somika is Goku's cousin, what would that make her to Gohan? Oh well! Over to you, bud! ^^

Heyas buddy! ^_^ hmm…well if Goku is Somika's cousin, that'd make Gohan a 2nd cousin, it's the same with my family, my cousin has two kids so their my second cousins. Anyways let's see what happens in this part of the fanfic.

Somika growled as she sensed the dark energy that was the evil guy coming ever closer to Earth, "Oh great…as if the androids in three years time weren't enough to worry about…we now has some unknown bad guy coming to Earth" Bulma stated as she saw all the guys (Vegeta, Yamcha, Trunks, Goku, Piccolo and Krillin…who just suddenly came along) standing around, looking up into the sky, frowning as they sensed whatever it was coming this way.

Quartina whimpered and huggled into Gohan who looked at her kindly "it's okay Quartina…we'll protect you and Somika from this monster" Trunks glanced over to Somika who was looking like she was prepared to fight to, Vegeta also looked over and smirked to Somika "maybe you should get that other little weakling and hide up…I could take on that monster no problem" he stated only for Somika to glare right back at him "No!…that monster is the whole reason me and Quartina fled from Planet Vegeta…and after everything he did…I want to make sure he pays dearly for it!" " But Somika…what exactly did this monster do?" Goku asked his little cousin "Well Kakarrot…I wouldn't say the time's right for stories…but…" Somika sighed and began to explain.

~Brief Flashback~

It was a fairly peaceful (well…by Saiyan standards anyway) day on Planet Vegeta and life on there was just going on as normal, there were Saiyans in the bars drinking, laughing, fighting…and generally getting drunk, some of the Saiyan Elites were being prepared to get rid of some dark desolate planets, since Frieza no longer worked in partner-ship with the Saiyans, they'd gone back to trading with other aliens, Somika was training with her Uncle (and surrogate father) Bardock, Quartina was with her father Toma, he was telling her all about how she'd be the one to become Queen when King Vegeta died since Prince Vegeta was no where to be found when they'd all been revived again, so in other words they were living pretty peaceful lives.

Then came the arrival of the monster, he wasn't related to Frieza or anyone like that but he had the same intentions as Frieza had…the Saiyans didn't trust him at all and more or less booted him off the planet when he said something about an `Alliance' and he yelled that he'd have revenge and flew off into the dark and lonely space and they thought he was gone for good.

But then a few days later he returned in the dead of night and began causing chaos, Somika was woken up from her sleep when a blood curdling scream pierced the night sky, she scrambled out of her bed and ran to her window, her eyes widened as she saw several buildings on fire and that monster was fighting several Saiyans who had come just a few seconds after someone screamed, Somika then gasped as the monster picked up one of the Saiyans and threw him over his shoulder sending him crashing into the others.

Then she decided to run and try and find her Uncle Bardock "Uncle Bardock! Uncle Bardock!! That guy's back on the Planet…he's trashing the place!" she yelled as she ran to where his sleeping quarters were "Don't worry kiddo…I thought this might happen" Bardock said as he put on his headband, however he was frowning "Somika…I want you to take Quartina and try to find a way off the planet…if this is anything like with Frieza…then I want you two to be safe…" Bardock looked down to Somika who looked puzzled "I know you'll probably think I'm crazy…but I saw that this would happen…in one of my visions…but there's no more time to explain…" Bardock began to walk in the direction of where most of the Saiyans were fighting the monster already "But Uncle Bardock!" Somika shouted but Bardock looked back to her "He's planning to wipe out all of us…just find Quartina and run for it! I'll try and hold that monster off to bide you some time" and then Bardock looked ahead again and began running to the outside, Somika just decided to take her Uncle's advice and ran for it.

Somika ran out the back door and began to make her way over to where Toma, Celipa and Quartina lived, she was surprised to find the apartment's door open but then reckoned that Toma and Celipa had gone to fight the monster too, she sensed a power level in the apartment and went in "Hey Quartina! Are you in here?" Somika asked kinda quietly just in case it wasn't Quartina she could sense "It's me…Somika…come on Quartina where are you?" Somika began to get worried slightly then blinked as she heard a whimper come from the kitchen "Quartina?" Somika asked as she came in, the kitchen seemed dark with the light from the fires outside coming in through the windows illuminating some of the kitchen in an eerie red colour "Somika?" Somika heard a little voice come from under the kitchen table, Somika looked under the table to see two innocent blue eyes looking back at her "Heh yeah, hi there Quartina…why are you under the table?" Somika asked the little Saiyan who looked slightly scared "Daddy and Mummy told me to stay under the table because I'd be safe in here…they went to fight the big bad monster guy" "Well Uncle Bardock told me to find you and that we've both got to get off of this planet…he's biding us some time…come on let's go" Somika smiled and began to go, but then noticed Quartina hadn't come out from under the table "Quartina come on! We've got to go" Quartina shook her head "No! Mummy and Daddy said that I'd be safe in here…and if I came out from under the table…then I'd be disobeying Mummy and Daddy" Somika couldn't believe this, she was trying to help herself and Quartina but Quartina was stopping them from going, "Look Quartina…I'm sorry if you feel like you'd be disobeying your Mum and Dad…but if we don't go soon…we'll both die…think about it, your Mum and Dad wouldn't want you to die and if you stay here then that's what'll happen…I've seen that monster fight and so far he's winning so we have to get out of he-…" Somika was cut off as Quartina let out an outburst "What?!!" she shouted and came out from under the table however she began running in the direction of where the Saiyans were fighting the monster, Somika ran out in front of Quartina and tried holding her back " No Quartina! Come on we have to get away from here!" however Quartina was screaming and shouting, her little face full of anger for maybe the first time in her life "Let me at that bad monster guy! I'll roast him! I'll eat him for dinner! I'll make him go boom!! I won't let him hurt Unkie Bardock or Mummy and Daddy or anyone else…Somika just let me at him!!" Quartina yelled, tears starting to stream down her face, Somika looked shocked slightly, she'd never seen Quartina be like this before "Look Quartina…I know how you feel…I don't want him to hurt anyone either…but Uncle Bardock said that me and you had to go to safety" Somika said, Quartina stopped yelling and looked at Somika "Now come on kiddo…we have to get away from here…your Mum and Dad would want you to be safe and if we get away from here then we will be safe…I'm sure your Mum and Dad would understand…so what d'ya say Quartina?" Quartina sniffled and wiped her eyes, then looked back at Somika with a determined look on her face "Yeah let's go!" Quartina stated and both girls began to run towards where the shuttle bay was.

~ End the maybe-not-so-brief Flashback ^_^; ~

"…and that's the entire story" Somika finished the story of what had happened "Man…so I guess it really matters that you fight too?" Goku asked his young cousin who nodded "I want to make him pay for what he did to our race and our planet" Somika clenched her fists and smirked a smirk that Goku did when he took on a powerful enemy.

Goku saw this and smiled "Yep…your definatly part of my family" he said to her "Hey guys get ready! It's nearly here!!" Krillin yelled, Quartina ran behind Bulma and peeked out from behind Bulma's legs and they all prepared for the monster who was coming ever nearer, Goku, Somika, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Vegeta, Yamcha and Trunks all stood frowning "when he get's here…he's gonna find out just why you should never mess with a Saiyan!" Goku declared.

Oooh! Here comes the bad guy, what will happen next?

Over to you buddy. ^_^
