I NEVER GIVE UP

By: AMCM74

Chapter 29

Melody stared at her brother. He leaned on Bra. T was clear her was trying to stand on his own power and failing. Bra was all that stood between him and a confrontation with the floor. She knew how he felt. Seeing him alive was having that effect on her. This was her brother. The all powerful Mark Devero. The one that she had been obsessing over for months of her life. She shook her head and opened her mouth but only a tiny sound escaped.

Mark pinned his eyes on her and they demanded an answer. It was like standing a child again with your hand stuck in a cookie jar. He had a powerful presence that reached right down into your core and instilled intimidation. Melody took that second to look at everyone else.

Jeff Ambers had his game face on. She could see he was still assessing his surroundings. Having his boss before him was a bit unsettling to him as well. Trunks and Bra Briefs seemed unaffected. But the attendant was shaking almost as badly as Melody herself.

"She is your sister, Mark." Trunks said in a low tone that was almost a growl.

Bra felt not even a flinch from Mark at that remark. "I have no siblings, Trunks. She is a conartist." Mark hefted himself off Bra and stood amazingly under his own power. "Listen here girl. I don't care who you are or why you are doing this. But I am not dead. There is nothing to gain here but jail time. So" He gave her a look of calm reserve that you see on businessmen closing a minor deal. "If you would go now I will for get this incident ever happened.

Melody felt the flush rising on her face. This was embarrassing to say the least. "Mark, I know this is hard for you, but I am your sister. My name is Melody Sanders. I am the daughter of Jonathan Sanders and Gina Devero."

Mark looked at Melody hard. There was no denying the girl look almost exactly like his mother. He had for some reason over looked that before. It could possibly be the kind and innocent look in her eyes and her good natured aura that held such a difference to him. In his lifetime Gina had already been jaded and cold. Her eyes never sparkled unless she was getting something she wanted. He shook his head and sighed "Bra, baby, get me to a hotel. I want a shower more then anything." Bra slipped her arm around him again and he frowned. Looking up at him with a question in her eyes he whispered in her ear so that no one else could hear his velvety words "Did I say more then any thing... I lied there is one thing I want more."

Bra laughed and cut it off as the others looked at her. She blushed wildly. Her being alight with joy. Mark was hers again. NO one was taking him from her again.



"I AM NOT LEAVING NOW!" three year old Aiko stood before her grandfather. Her arms crossed and stared up at him.

Vegeta tried hard not to smirk at her. Humoring the child only made her more arrogant and stubborn. It was obvious he had over coddled her. How else would she be developing this rebellious streak? Shaking his head "It is time for us to return home."

"DO I LOOK LIKE A SUPER SAIYAN TO YOU?" She stomped her foot. Clinching her fists and dropping them to her sides. "I can not leave here until I am a Super Saiyan. I wanna be a Super Saiyan."

"You are possibly too young to attain that kind of power Aiko. You have learned all you need to, for now." Vegeta grabbed and arm and began to drag her to the door. Aiko struggled against him. Her little face mottled with anger. "We will continue to train in the gravity room at Capsule Corp."

Aiko gritted her teeth "That is not what I want! "

Vegeta never looked back as he opened the door and tossed the child out. "TO bad that is what you get."

Aiko hit the hard marble and rolled. Coming to a stop she looked up at the earth guardian. Dende looked nervous as he glanced to Vegeta "Pan arrived looking for you. Piccolo is umm entertaining her..."

Vegeta cocked up and eyebrow and then head the sounds of a ferocious battle. Running around the corner he felt Aiko step in front of him. Together they watched as Pan let loser\ her anger on the older Namek.

Pan was kicking and punching with skilled form. "HOW DARE YOU LET VEGETA TAKE HER IN THERE!"

Piccolo blocked and avoided as many attacked as he could from Gohan's daughter. She was justified to her rage. The child, Aiko, when she emerged would be just that a child. Not the baby Pan had held only a few days ago. Still Vegeta had put up a strong argument for the child's training. Looking over he was Vegeta and stopped.

Pan turned to scream at Dende. Who she assumed Piccolo was starting at. It was then she saw the girl. Dark, almost black, purple hair waved in the wind on Kami's tower. She stood in Saiyan fighting armor slightly scuffed, but not destroyed. It was the huge blue eyes that rose id defiance that full impacted Pan. This child was Aiko. Her baby was SOOO BIG!

"AIKO!" Pan ran over and slid to her knees. Pan's arms wrapping around the stiff child, which did not return her hug.

Aiko merely stared ahead for a shocked moment. Then she glanced up at a chuckling Vegeta. Aiko snarled "DO NOT LAUGH AT ME." Aiko shouted much to Vegeta's amusement "Let go of me woman!" after that last statement Vegeta's amusement vanished. Aiko did not just tell her mother to let her go. Please some on tell him she had not.

Pan pulled back and stared at her baby. Aiko was turning into a beautiful girl. But the barely restrained anger was burning the child's eyes. "I am you mother, Aiko." Pan whispered

"Yes, I can see that." Aiko folded her arms and stared. "You fight well."

Pan stood up and glared at Vegeta "You did this!"

In response Vegeta swallowed hard.



Gina walked down the halls of Global looking over things. Her cell phone ringing in her purse. Pulling it up she pulled off her earring and tossed her golden hair before placing it next to her ear `Gina Devero."

Her face fell. "Jon. I told you never to call me here." She frowned, "Melody came to see you?" looking around she walked into an empty office and shut the door "Tell me what is going on." Gina listened intently. "I will talk to her." With that curt statement she hung up and dialed a new number "Yes this is Gina Devero. I want to know what you have found out about Mark's personal PI. YES, Jeff AMBERS." With a nervous look she stared out the window "So he has found a lead. Fellowes Health Center. Yes, I have heard it. Of course I am very excited! I can't tell you how delight I would be to find out Mark is alive!" Gina clinched her eye shut and hung up the phone. "If that boy is still alive I swear."

She sat in the near by chair and fumed "Melody went to see her father, and didn't tell me. I can't believe she is turning on me like this." She shook her head and ran her delicate fingers over her face. "Mark, please, please be dead."
