Surprise! She's a WHAT?!: Chapter Three

A terrifying boom caused Bulma to jump up suddenly. "What was that!? It better have not been the GR… Oh, god! Vegeta and that girl were in there!." Bulma exclaimed, rushing out of the lab. She ran through the halls of Capsule Corps and stopped abruptly when Trunks appeared out of his room with a worried look on his face.

"Mom, was that the GR that exploded?" Trunks asked.

"I think so Trunks. I have a bad feeling about this." Bulma replied as they rushed outside. The site that greeted them was not so great. Bulma and Trunks stopped dead at what remained of the GR. Debris lay everywhere and no sign of Vegeta or the girl. Bulma's heart soared to her throat and she sank to her knees.

~ Vegeta can you hear me? Vegeta? ~ Only silence echoed through her and Vegeta's bond. Trunks watched his mom start to cry and then looked at the debris.

"Mom, dad, and that girl have to be alive. They have to! I'm going to find them!" Trunks said with determination as he started to search through the remains.

Around the same time at the Son house, Gohan looked at his clock. It read 10:17 pm. He sighed and went back to writing in his journal.

Today was most interesting. I met this girl who could go super saiyan. Strange huh? I thought that only saiyans could do that? She actually has the courage to stand to the almighty prince of the saiyans. Boy I say she has guts. It was a sight to see her. Her long blonde hair raised above her head, turning blonder and her sapphire eyes to teal. I didn't know what to say afterwards, but I am glad that Bulma suggested that I leave. Although it would be cool if she kicked Vegeta's ass. That would leave a dent in his pride. Huh?

Gohan stopped writing and looked up to see Goten's worried face. "Goten what are you doing in here? Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" Gohan asked.

"Oniichan I think something happened at Capsule Corps." Goten answered. Gohan's heart dropped to the floor and he stared at his brother.

"Goten, what do you mean by that?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know oniichan. I have this weird feeling that something happened." Goten responded. He looked into his brother's eyes and saw that Gohan was thinking.

Gohan almost wanted to say that everything was okay, but remembered something. He had stopped writing to look at his clock when he felt Vegeta's ki drop drastically. *I bet that girl did beat the crap out of him, but why would it drop like that? It shouldn't.* Gohan's coal-black eyes focused on his brother.

"Goten did you feel Vegeta's ki drop?" Gohan asked him. Goten looked puzzled like Gohan had asked him a hard question, but then shrugged.

"I think so oniichan." Goten replied.

"I don't like this Goten. You and I are going to Capsule Corps. to find out." Gohan spoke quietly.

"What about mom Gohan? I mean she's really mean with that frying pan. Won't mom be mad with us?" Goten asked.

Gohan hesitated to do this, but felt he had to. "Don't worry about mom Goten. I'm sure she will understand once we tell her." Gohan said. "Now we go out quietly out my window and fly over to Capsule Corps." he added. Goten nodded and grinned happily. Gohan opened the window as quietly as he could and both boys flew out into the night.

Back in the Otherworld, Goku frowned at King Kai. "King Kai what is going on down there? You said that a girl was found, but Vegeta's ki has dropped. Is he dead?" Goku asked. King Kai sighed.

"Vegeta is not dead, neither is that girl. I am concerned about what attacked them." King Kai answered.

Goku scratched his head in confusion. "Vegeta and that girl were attacked?" he asked.

"Yes. I sensed a terrible darkness from it." King Kai replied.

A sinister laugh echoed throughout the palace, followed by an outburst. "It has been done! The saiyan known as Vegeta is dead. In addition that girl was killed too. Now not many saiyans left to go. Who should be the next victim, hm?" A hand waved across the pool and an image appeared. "Ah, yes this one. The boy may be powerful, but I doubt he will be able to withstand our power. My plans for him will go into effect tomorrow night. Enjoy your time as it will not last."

Trunks stood in where the center would have been and looked over at the debris that appeared to be in the most layers. *Man I hope dad and that girl are not in here, but I have a feeling that they be. They better not be dead.* He walked over the big pile debris and bent down. Trunks started to remove pieces of the GR, when his hand touched something warm. "Huh?" he said as his hand continued to feel the warm thing. *It feels like some kind of shield. What!?*

Bulma slowly stood up to regain her composure. She knew she should be helping Trunks find Vegeta and the girl. "Bulma, how are you--- What the hell happened to the GR?" a voice suddenly asked. Bulma was startled out of her thoughts and turned her head to see who spoke. There were Gohan and Goten a few feet from her.

"Gohan?! Goten!? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed in bed?" Bulma exclaimed. Gohan grinned nervously and put his hand behind his head.

"Well, Bulma… Goten and I had a feeling something happened to Vegeta because I felt his ki drop." Gohan answered hesitantly. Bulma's blue eyes lit up.

"Of course! Gohan you go help Trunks and Goten you come with me!" Bulma responded in a cheerful tone.

"Okay Bulma." Gohan replied as he walked over to Trunks. Goten just looked at her with a confused look on his face and followed the blue-haired genius.

Gohan found Trunks staring at his hand then at the pile of debris. "Trunks, what are you doing?"

Trunks blinked his eyes he thought he heard Gohan's voice. He titled to find that indeed Gohan was next to him. "Gohan!? What are you doing here? It's late!"

"Goten and I came to see what happened to your father. His ki dropped drastically. Bulma sent me to help you. What are looking at anyway?" Gohan responded.

"I'm not quite sure what it is. It feels like a shield of some kind and feels warm. Here you touch ii." Trunks replied. Gohan brought his hand to touch it. His hand touched something warm like a shield. Lifting his hand back, Gohan looked back at Trunks.

"You're right. It does feel warm. It might be a shield. Let's remove all the debris." Gohan said.

"Right." Trunks said. Both demi-saiyans set to work at moving the debris. After a few minutes a startling discovery was made. Underneath all of that debris, were the bodies of Vegeta and the girl. "G-gohan look it's my dad! A-and the girl!" Trunks gasped out loud.

"They both look alright, although they looked beat up." Gohan said as he reached his hand to touch Vegeta. A sudden burning sensation went through his hand and Gohan leaped back. Trunks notices Gohan is shaking his hand in pain.

"Gohan, what happened?" Trunks asked.

"Owww! That hurt! I don't know Trunks… wait! I can't touch your father." Gohan replied.

"What do you mean you can't touch my father?!" Trunks exclaims.

"Because I think that both Vegeta and the girl are being protected by the shield." Gohan replies.

Dream Sequence

My eyes dart around as I look around as to see where I am. All I see is white light and nothing else. "Where am I? Wait… am I dead?" I ask.

"You are not dead Katherine de Tanaka. This is a dream." a new voice spoke out of nowhere. I looked over to my left, to see someone. A white phoenix to be exact. Wait?! A white phoenix!?

"You're a white phoenix?! But how did you get here and in my dream?" I gasp. The white phoenix chuckled softly and walked over to me. Now I got a nice view of the rare bird. The entire body was a soft, beautiful white. The magnificent wings of this phoenix were covered with blue & silver armor.

"Katherine I am here to warn about the demon that attacked you and the prince of saiyans. That demon was one of the weaker ones, but they are more stronger ones. The head of these demons are after the saiyans. You must make sure that they survive Katherine or they will take over Earth."

I blink in surprise. I can't believe it? The White Phoenix is asking me to protect the saiyans, including Vegeta. "Even that ego-driven Vegeta?" I said.

"Yes. I do believe they are two people looking at Vegeta and your bodies. If you need me, just use this card." White Phoenixreplied, making a card appear in my hand. I tuck the card away in my belt. I watched White Phoenix disappear and I started to wake up.

End Dream Sequence

Kat opened her eyes slowly and looked up. She could make out a pair of blue and onyx eyes watching her. Trunks and Gohan's eyes went wide as the girl woke up.

"What the…?!" both Gohan and Trunks muttered. Kat raised herself to her feet and came in contact with the shield. She rubbed her head and remembered that she had put that shield right after the demon self-destructed. With a wave of her hand, the shield disappeared. Two demi-saiyans watched in awe as the girl stood up.

"What are you two looking at?" she asked. Before Gohan or Trunks could answer, a bright light shined into their eyes.

"Hiya oniichan! Trunks! Bulma and I went inside to find flashlights! Aren't they cool?" Goten exclaimed.

"Goten could you not shine in our eyes?!" Gohan stated.

"Sorry oniichan!" Goten said, shining the light on Katherine. Bulma saw what bad shape the girl was in and shined her light on the ground. She gasped.

"Oh my god! Vegeta! What happened?" Bulma exclaimed, kneeling by Vegeta's side. Gohan watched the girl sigh.

"Well, Vegeta and I were fighting each other in the GR." Kat paused for a moment to look for her sword. She saw her weapon by her feet and picked it up. "Sorry. I was picking my weapon. Gohan blinked. Now where we? Oh, yeah! I will go into details later, but Vegeta had me on the floor. He demanded that I tell him what race I was from, but then something happened. I looked around Vegeta to find someone standing behind him. There was something strange about that figure. Anyway I said that there was someone behind him. He lifted his eyebrow and turned around. Just after Vegeta had done that, the intruder fired a ki blast at his shoulder. Vegeta of course got mad and tried to go after him, but I stopped him." Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Bulma all gave her strange looks. Kat continued on.

"Strange. From I had witnessed from our fighting, Vegeta let me handle it. I drew my sword and drove it into the demon's chest. I took the sword out and that's when I began to feel weak. I dropped the sword and collapsed to the floor. I wasn't unconscious, but I did hear Vegeta say that I must have dropped because of exhaustion. The next few moments were pretty tense. I heard the demon laugh and Vegeta asking why was it laughing, it was to die any moment. The demon responded that Vegeta would die as he would. At that moment I felt pain wash over Vegeta as the demon self-destructed and Vegeta blacked out. I managed to put up a shield before I blacked out." Kat finished explaining.

No one dared to speak. From what the girl had just told them, someone was after the saiyans. Gohan looked into the girl's eyes and opened his mouth, but a groan interrupted. Bulma squealed in delight that Vegeta would be alright.

Vegeta slowly opened his eyes and found the onna's blue eyes staring right at him. He immediately stood up only to feel the burning pain in his shoulder. Vegeta then noticed that Kakarot's brats 1 and 2 were here as well as… The prince of saiyans turned to fix his glare at Kat.

"How in the hell do I survive that blast when the entire GR blew up?! How?!" Vegeta demanded. Kat waved off his words with a mere wave of her hand.

"That's easy. I put up a shield before I blacked out. There's no need to thank me." Kat replied sarcastically. Vegeta just grunted in response.

"I do not thank people brat. What race are you from?" Vegeta said.

"Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Would you like for me to heal you?" Kat responded.

"What?! You can heal people?!" Kat nodded her head. "Good! Then you can heal Vegeta and yourself." Bulma said. Vegeta made a notion to speak, but a glare from the woman made him up shut up right away. Gohan and Trunks exchanged looks with each other. Goten stared at her with a dumbfound look on his face.

"Alright." Kat replies. She tucked her sword away and brings her two hands together. Vegeta grunts in response. But then he sees her hands start to glow.

"Osxgqzl Gqloc!" (Translation: Healing Light!) Kat whispered in a strange language foreign to everyone. Gohan watches as the white light cover her and Vegeta. He shielded his eyes for a moment before looking back. The older demi-saiyan saw that Vegeta's face wasn't one of pain and the girl's sapphire eyes were sparkling.

"W-hat?! H-how is that possible?!" Gohan cried in disbelief.

Vegeta was never more shocked in his life. This female can heal just like that Namek up at the Tower. His shoulder was completely healed! But he heard her speak in that language of hers again. *Must be the language of her race. Even I do not understand it, though I traveled to many worlds. Humph!*

"Interesting ability you have there brat. Our conversation will resume tomorrow." Vegeta said as he left. Bulma turns to the others before following him.

" I suggest that you and Goten go home now. Better yet take her with you to your house. I'm sure that Chichi won't mind if she sleeps there tonight. I don't think Vegeta would be happy to have her sleep here. Goodnight!" Bulma says as she leaves.

"I better get to bed too Goten. Hand me that flashlight and I will see you tomorrow." Trunks said. Goten hands the flashlight over to Trunks and he heads off.

Gohan could not believe what Bulma just told him to do. Bring her over to his house to sleep. *I can't do that! Mom would go ballistic on me! But I have no choice.* "We better head back to my house. You have to come with us too." Gohan said.

"It is alright. It can't get any worse then staying here with Vegeta." Kat said. Gohan groans out loud and Goten sweatdrops.

"You do not know our mom. She uses that frying pan of doom on us to keep control." Gohan said.

"Yeah! Mommy real good with smacking us with that thing." Goten added.

Kat sweatdrops at both of the demi-saiyans and then starts to laugh hysterically. "You've got to be kidding me! You two are afraid of a frying pan?! I've got to see this! I can take you guys quicker to your house if I use my special technique." Kat replies.

"Fine. If you wish to find out the hard way, then so be it. We live in the 439 Mountain Area." Gohan stated.

"All you two need to be close to me. This should be interesting." Kat said. Goten and Gohan move closer to Kat. Kat puts her two hands together and closes her eyes. She searches for their house and finds it. Kat locks on to the house and they disappear in a flash.

Chichi was mad beyond belief. She had gone to tell Gohan to go to bed and found his room empty. So was Goten's. The thing that got her mad was Gohan's window was wide open. *Wait till I get a hand on those two. They're supposed to be in bed. I think a nice whack with the frying pan should do it.* She grabs her frying pan and waits patiently in the kitchen. All of a sudden Gohan, Goten and a girl appeared right in front of her.

"How dare you appear right in front of me Gohan! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Gohan gulps and grins nervously. "And furthermore what were you two doing out of bed and who is this girl?!" Chichi yells, ready to strike with her frying pan.

"Calm down! Sheez! There is no need to be worried about these two. They are just fine." Kat interjects.

"Are you trying to tell what to tell?! Then take this!" Chichi exclaimed, putting her whole strength into the swing of the frying pan of doom. Kat never saw the pan coming and *WHAM*. Gohan and Goten watched in horror as Kat fell to the floor, knocked out.

Chichi smiled in triumph and turned to her boys. They were both wearing shocked faces. "Gohan, Goten what's the matter?" she asked.

"Mommy you hit the girl I talked about that Trunks and I saved earlier." Goten said.
