A figure could be seen flying through the air above the ocean. It's speed was about Mach 2.
Directly underneath the clouds it continued to soar, and abruptly came to a halt once it came
over the Kame House. The figure neared the small island and as it got closer the shape was determined to be a young boy.

Juunana-gou.

His hair flew around his face as he descended to the beach, where an old man was sleeping in a chair with a dirty
magazine over his sunglassed eyes. #17 landed with a soft thud and put his hands on his hips.

"Old man!" he yelled.

"Huh?!" cried Master Roshi as he was brought out of his slumber and bolted upright.

"Old man, where is Juuhachi? And tell me, is 'she' here too?"

"Uhhhhhh." fumbled the old Master as he began to get his bearings and realized that
an Android was standing in front of him. "OH! It's you! Um, yes, #18 is here."

"Well, tell her to come out now or I'll do it myself and it won't be pretty."

"*gulp* Sure. 18! 18! You have a visitor!" cried Roshi toward the house.

"What? Who wants a piece of me now?" Juuhachi's voice came from within the house.
Also heard was: "Mommy! Mommy! Who is it? Let's go see!"

"Come on, Marron. We'll go see what this person wants."

Juuhachi-gou stepped outside the house holding her daughter's tiny hand. She was lovely as the day she was made into an
artificial being and the blonde-haired blue-eyed woman still wore her traditional outfit. "Well, what do you wa------"
she broke off as she recognized her visitor.

"Juu-juunana........"she whispered. "It's you....."

"Hai." #17 said sternly. "Where is she?"

"Who?"

"Don't pretend that you don't know 'sis'."

"Wait a minute, you mean you know about........?"

"Hmmm hmmm! Of course! I know all about our younger sister, 18. You're hiding her aren't you?"

"No no. She was staying with us but one day she went on a trip and never came back."

"That brat! I'll have to find her! Thanks...............for nothing!" #17 spat and took of into the
air once again leaving a cloud of sand behind.

Marron sneezed. "ACHOO! Mommy, who was that?"

#18 sighed. "That,sweetie, was your Uncle Juunana-gou; my twin brother."

"Juuhachi! What's going on?" came Krillin's nasal voice as he rushed outside. He ran up next to his wife and daughter.
Juuhachi-gou was a head taller than her husband, but that really didn't matter to her. She loved Krillin with all her
heart and he was a wonderful husband and father.

"Hey Krillin, guess who decided to pay us a little visit?"

"Ummm, I dunno. Who?"

"My brother."

"#17?!!!!! You're kidding!"

"Iie, he flew in out of nowhere demanded to know where Zenya was and then flew away just as fast when he found she wasn't
here."

"Gosh, what a shock! I wonder what he wants with Zenya? I mean, I thought he didn't know about her and his past."

"Well, apparently he found out. Why is he after our sister?" she asked herself.

"I wonder if Dende could find out something for us."

"He might. Why don't we go and see him?"

"Ok, but Master Roshi will have to watch Marron."

"NO WAY KRILLIN! I'm not leaving my baby with that dirty old man!"

"Then she'll have to come with us. Marron, me and Mommy are going on a little trip. Do you want to come?"

"Yeah! Will you carry me Daddy?" Marron agreed and then asked her father to hold her, because she knew that the only
way her parents ever traveled was through the air, literally.

"Sure, sweetheart. Come on, 18. We're ready." and with that the family of three flew up into the air and headed for
Dende's lookout. Little did they know that all the answers that they were looking for were to be quickly resolved.

* * * * * * *

"Hold on tight, Marron, we're landing!" Krillin said to his young daughter.

"wheeeeeeee!" she cried with delight as Krillin touched down on the lookout and set her down.

"DENDE!" Krillin yelled loudly and then let out a shrill whistle, two fingers in his mouth. "Fweeeeeeeeee!"

"AAAGH!!!!!!!" came the guardian's voice as his ears were bombarded by the awful screeching sound. Dende emerged from
wherever he had been, his hands over his pointy ears. "GEEZ KRILLIN! What did you go and do that for?!"

Krillin looked over at him sheepishly and put one hand behind his head. "Uh, sorry Dende, I forgot your ears were so
sensitive."

Dende sighed. "That's ok but try to remember next time? Now, what can I do for you guys?"

Juuhachi-gou spoke up: "Namek, my brother 17 came to see us today. He demanded to know the whereabouts of our younger
sister. Even I don't know that any more. I wanted to know if you could find out what he's up to and maybe even find my
sister."

"Your sister? She's---"Dende was cut off as Zenya rushed into the room.

"JUUHACHI! Am I glad to see you!" she ran into her sisters arms and hugged her fiercely.

"Zenya." #18 said softly and hugged her sister back."I was so worried when you didn't come back. What happened?"

"Ja--I mean Juunana-gou. He came after me. I didn't even think he remembered me after all that's happened. 18, he's
found out about everything. Dr. Gero's lab still exists and he upgraded himself and was trying to force me into becoming
an android. He beat me senseless and then left me for dead that day I went out. Piccolo rescued me." she explained a small
rush of blood coming to her cheeks at the last part.

"That monster! He'll pay for this, Zenya. I'll make him." Juuhachi said angrily.

"NO! He's still our brother, Tar--I mean Juuhachi. We can't destroy him. Perhaps there's a way to win him over?" Zenya
said and thought (gosh, I almost called her, her real name. Better not let that slip again.)

"Brother or no, to #17 life is one big game. He thinks he's nearing a higher level with all this.
To win the game, he'll do anything he can, including hurting us."

Krillin spoke up: "Hey, did you say that Piccolo saved you?"

Zenya blushed again. "Yeah he did."

"Gosh! Amazing, I didn't think he gave a flip about anybody."

"Zenya is an exception." Piccolo's deep voice came from their right.

"UH! Oh Piccolo! Hi......" Krillin fumbled.

"At ease, Krillin." Piccolo said like an army Captain and rolled his eyes. "So, you guys are after some answers? Afraid
we haven't gotten that many."

"Join the club." said Juuhachi.

"Right now, all we can do is protect Zenya and be on the lookout for #17. If he comes, we'll be ready."
