CHAPTER 2: THE FIRST BATTLE; ARIANNA LOSES HER TAIL

Trunks glanced around; Bra was practically crawling up on his back.
Goten tapped him on the shoulder. Pan glanced nervously around. "Can you
feel it?" Goten whispered, glancing around, the source of the power was near.
Very near.
Trunks nodded his head. "Yeah, it's near, and dangerous. Maybe we
should go back and get father and Gohan. I don't think it's wise of us to
go up against this thing by outselves. At least with Bra and Pan with us.
Mom would kill me if anything happened to Bra, and so would Dad, even though
he would never admit it." Trunks glanced nervously around. It was near, he
could almost feel the source of the power breathing down their necks. What
are you, Trunks thought out at it, Where are you?
Goten silently nodded his head. "Yeah," he said, "Gohan and Videl would
kill me to if I let anything happen to Pan. I wouldn't be able to go home,
Mom would be after me to. How could you let anything happen to my only
grandchild,?" He mimicked Chi Chi's voice, shaking his finger at Trunks.
Bra started laughing, Trunks quickly slapped his hand over her mouth,
"Quiet," he hissed between clenched teeth, quickly glancing around. The
creature could be anywhere. "How 'bout we get back. I do'?t feel like
explaining to Mom why Bra isn't with me. "Gee, sorry Mom, we were out
looking for the space ship that crashed out beyond Goten's and the alien
creature got Bra. I'd never hear the end of it." Trunks sighed. Parents
could be so difficult. When he finally had kids, he would be nothing like
his parents.
Pan grated her teeth together. "I'm not afraid of some ugly alien
creature." She grumped. "I can take care of myself." She said walking
farther into the woods. A sudden growl stopped her in her tracks.

Arianna stared at the four creatures in front of her. She could sense a
great power in the two males. Were they perhaps the decedents of King
Vegeta? She wouldn't know until she got them into a battle. The dark haired
female started walking forward, away from the safety of the males. Foolish
Earth girl, Arianna thought to her self. She slinked forward, growling low
in her throat.

Trunks whirled around; he'd heard the growl. The feline like growl that
came from behind him, just in front of where Pan now stood. He peered into
the murky depths, but couldn't see anything. He heard the growl again. A
menacing growl that sounded very cat like. He looked over at Goten, Goten
nodded at him and they both powered up, jumping to Super Saiyan. "Where are
you?" Trunks called out.
He was answered by another growl, this one right behind him. He turned
around quickly and caught sight of the creature. His heart stopped. What
in the world, he asked himself.
The huge cat advanced towards him, it?s feet silently padding along over
the soft forest floor. It growled low in it's throat again, baring it's
teeth. It's green-blue eyes focused on him, it's nostrils flared. It
sauntered in a semi-circle around him, than eyed Goten. It turned it's
strange gaze back to Trunks, and opened it's mouth. "I'm right here." It
said in perfect English.
Trunks eyes opened wide in shock. Goten took an unsteady step backwards.
Pan gasped in dismay. Bra stared stunned at the strange cat. It was dark
brown, looked like a large panther, with weird green-blue eyes, and powerful
muscles. It looked like it could easily bring Trunks or Goten down without a
fight. It's long snake-like tailed whipped around violently, like the cat
was annoyed. "You asked where I was, I'm right here." It repeated, voice
slightly annoyed.
Bra took a shaky step forward, towards the cat. "What are you?" Bra
asked, looking in awe at the strange creature. Trunks flew forward, to stand
in front of his sister. The cat leapt forward. A low growl escaped from her
throat. She took another step menacingly forward. Trunks took a retreating
step back.
"Are you afraid of me?" The cat queried. "Why do you retreat?" Her
voice held an edge of condescension in it.
Trunks stepped forward. His fists balled. "I am not a afraid a mere
cat." He whispered. "I come from a long line of warriors. It will take
more to scare me than a single cat." He took another step closer to the
strange cat; she in turn stepped forward also, growling low in her throat
again.
"You should be afraid little Earthling." The cat said, her tone
menacing. "It will take more than a mere Earthling like you to defeat me."
she paused, like she was thinking. "You could be helpful though," she purred,
The boy could give her a few insights into the fighting styles of humans, she
thought right before leaping at him. Bra screamed, Trunks lunged forward, to
meet the cat in mid-air.
The cat growled, a terrible sound that froze Trunk's blood. The cat
corkscrewed in mid-air, and landed softly a few feet from where Goten was
standing. Then she was air-born again.
She clawed at thin air, no where near where Trunks was at, it wasn't
until he saw the small arrow-head shaped projectiles that he realized she had
released something, that was heading directly towards Bra and Pan. "Goten,"
Trunks yelled.
Goten caught sight of the missiles and fired a quick burst of energy.
That caught the cat's attention. She stopped her attack on Trunks and
landed soundlessly on the ground. "What are you?" She asked. She glanced
back and forth between the two golden haired boys. "You are not Earthlings,
they are not suppose to have these types of powers." She sat down, showing
she would not attack again. "Or at least not these power levels. Who are
you?"
Both Trunks and Goten powered down, returning to normal, the cat's eyes
narrowed, a soft growl escaped from her throat, "What are you?" Her voice
was just above a whisper.
Trunks glared at her. "Why should we tell you anything?" He snarled,
stepping over to Bra to make sure she was all right. He turned back to look
at the alien cat. "Who the hell ARE you and why have you come here?" Trunks
paused, "What are you?"
"I am an Arcaticain. My name is not important, and it would do you no
good to know it either. It will gain you nothing. As for why I am here, I
am seeking revenge." She stared first at Trunks than at Goten, not even
bothering to look at the pitiful females. Human females rarely if ever had
any power to worry about, her information had told her.
This angered Pan and she sent her own energy burst at the unfriendly cat.
The cat easily dodged it and promptly attacked Pan. Pan was slammed to the
forest's floor, the air being knocked from her lungs. The cat growled low in
her throat, her face mere inched from Pan's frightened eyes. "That was a
stupid mistake, Earth Girl. Though you Earthlings are proving to be very
interesting, our gathered information on you seems to be consistently
incorrect, the Mystics will be very interested with what I collect here."
She said, snapping her jaw shut with a loud click. She bared her teeth so
the pitiful human could have a good look at what death would like. "I could
kill you easily, right now-" she paused, snuffing at the air.
She turned to regard the lavender haired boy. His scent carried on the
winds to her, it smelled remarkably similar to what King Vegeta smelled like.
Was this boy related to King Vegeta than? She removed her paws from off of
Pan's shoulders and stalked over to the boy. "Your name," she growled, her
nostrils flaring, sniffing the air, her eyes narrowing. "What is your name?"
He glared in turn at her, "My name is Trunks." He answered, "What is it
to you anyway?"
The cat glared at him for a moment. She racked her memories, calling up
distant ones, ones that were not her own. These belonged to her grandfather,
it was these memories that enabled her to know her quarry, know his scent.
Trunks was not a Saiyan name. This human had a strange scent around him, the
Saiyan scent, but also another one, a strange one. Could he be a half-breed?
The boy was still glaring at her. "What!" she snarled. "I have come
here looking for a Saiyan named King Vegeta, do you know him?" she growled
menacingly. "You smell similar to him, are you related?"
The boy stepped back, shocked. "Yes," he stammered. "He was my
grandfather," he said, looking cautiously at the powerful creature before
him. She could rip him to shreds, or he could kill her. They were evenly
matched, if he was reading her power levels right. She was an alien though,
so he wasn't sure if he was getting accurate reads or not, it was just a
guess anyway.
"I warn you now then, I will kill you and your family in revenge for what
your grandfather did to my family and my world." With nothing else to say,
the giant cat launched herself at the gape-jawed youth.
He did not remain shocked for long. Instantly he dodged to the left, she
leapt past him, swiping at him with one of her large paws. She just gazed
his right shoulder, and then slammed into the ground, her claws digging into
the soft soil. She growled, and ran at him, hissing, her mouth opened just
slightly. Trunks didn't see what was happening, Goten did. "Trunks," he
yelled, "She's going breath an energy bolt at you, watch out!"
Trunks ducked, the energy bolt traveling over his head and back. "Nice
try," He hissed. "But you missed me." He unleashed his own energy bolt at
her. She dodged and was preparing to launch another attack when she realized
he wasn't there. "Behind you?" he whispered. She spun around and rammed
right into the energy blast he was releasing.
She howled in rage. She lashed blindly out at anything, the light still
reeking havoc with her eyesight. "Where are you?" She growled.
"Right here," came a calm voice from behind her once again. She saw a
searing light again and whirled around to face it only to feel a blinding hot
pain travel through her tail. She screamed in pain, lashed out again, and
was satisfied when her claw met with something soft and yielding. The scream
she heard was not the one she was expecting. It was high-pitched,
female-like. She's hit one of the girls instead.
The dark-haired boy growled in anger. She was hit from two different
sides, blasted unmercifully. She'd found a weak point in these boys. The
girls. She growled, raising her power level, turning into a Raging Feral
Cat. Her teeth bared, her senses heightened, she charged. Her sight was
still hampered, but she was depending on her other senses. Her sense of
smell told her the lavender haired boy was near, standing near or next to the
blue haired girl. She noticed for the first time that the girl smelled the
same as the boy. Were they related then? Was this girl also a grandchild of
King Vegeta? "Did I hit you sister Trunks?" She mock whined.
She heard his snarl, "You'll pay for that you fucking bitch!" He yelled.
Her paws sensed a pounding on the ground, coming her way. Trunks was running
towards her, hoping the fact that she couldn't see would help his assault.
She waited till he was right on top of her and hyper-jumped behind him,
reaching out with her left front paw, and clawing his leg. He fell, she
could feel and hear his thump as he landed on the soft soil. He howled in
pain. "You fucking baka bitch," he snarled.
She heard a slight rustling, like someone walking slowly towards her, she
sensed no ill intent, and it confused her. She could smell Trunks sister
coming closer to her, slowly. She also caught the scent of blood. Had she
hurt the girl badly? Why did she care, she was going to end up killing her
sooner or later. So why not sooner rather than later? She suddenly felt
someone's hand atop her head, softly patting her silky coat. "Why do you
hate us so?" A soft voice asked, right next to her ear.
The cat reacted, and Trunks watched in dismay, waiting for the animal to
attack and kill his sister. To his amazement, the cat turned and faced his
sister, her nose mere inched from Bra's. The cat licked her lips, like she
was awaiting her dinner. She bared her teeth, and Trunks closed his eyes,
fearing what was coming next. He heard Bra start to laugh, he opened his
eyes a crack and was astonished to find the cat delicately licking his
sister's face. "Why do you hate us so?" His sister asked again.
"It is not you I hate, but your grandfather. He came to my world, long
ago, long before I was born and tried to take our world over. My family sent
all their strongest warriors out to fight him, all were defeated and killed.
My grandfather was the last to go. The fight ended in a draw, with your
grandfather leaving, injured. My grandfather died a few hours later. A few
months later my father was born. He never got to know his father, just as I
never got to know my grandfather." She paused; she could not believe she was
telling this to this girl. She growled low in her throat. "If I fail in my
mission, there are others on their way. They will pick up where I failed.
One day my grandfather will be avenged." She licked the girl's face again,
showing her respect for the young one. Not many would have dared approach
her in Raging Feral form, the girl had been very brave, and had done it.
There was more to this grand child of King Vegeta than the eye beheld. She
got up and left, she slowly turned around, to face the four, "We will meet
again, and next time I will be ready for you, one of us will die. It will
not be me, remember that." With that she disappeared into the woods.
Trunks, limping, went over to Bra. He offered her his hand, pulling her
up from where she sat on the forest floor. "What on Earth made you attempt a
stupid stunt like that?" He asked, looking her over, making sure she was ok.
Blood trickled slowly from a cut on her shoulder, nothing to serious.
Bra shook her light blue hair, "I don't know," she answered. "I just had
a feeling she wouldn't attack me. She's confused, I think."
Goten laughed, "She didn't seen very confused when she was trying to take
a chunk out of Trunks, she seemed to know what she was doing then."
"Let's go home." Pan said, still agitated that the cat had gotten the
best of her. "Father and mother would probably want to hear about this. Not
to mention that Vegeta will want to know that there's some alien cat here to
kill him. This could be very interesting, I'd like to see this cat go up
against your father," she said, thoughtfully looking up at the darkening sky
than over at Trunks and Bra.
Soon enough, Pan, you would get your wish.

Arianna slunk into the shadows, her eyesight was still dim, and would
take time to heal. But it would heal, and then she would go after this
Trunks and his family. First she would find his father and deal with him.
First things first.
She walked slowly through the forest, another cat jumped into her path.
A questioning purr gurgled up from his throat. She glared at him, hissed
sharply, and then sent a Breath Energy Blast at him. He never new what hit
him. These Earth Cats were so stupid.
