Nina looked around and saw she was in a blinding white voide. She began to walk around and see where she was. Nina was all alone and suddenly it got dark around her and lighning flashed in the sky. Her eyes narrowed and she felt an evil power coming closer. She turned her head in the direction it was coming from and saw the silver haired boy that plagued her life since she was just becoming a teenager.
Nina bared her teeth. "Jarvus!" She mumbled under her breath.
Jarvus' back was to her and he heard a slight noise. He turned his head and saw his little sister Nina. He gave that annoying devil smile and Nina found herself losing control. She burst into red ki flames and charged after him. Jarvus turned around completely and was ready to attack. Nina yelled out with fury as she jumped in the air, aiming a kick straight to his head. Jarvus blocked it easily and before Nina could retaliate, he had grabbed her ankle and swung her around, then bashed her to the floor. Nina coughed out blood and it spread across the thick voide.
Jarvus' shadow loomed over her. "Say goodnight Nina." Jarvus muttered.
Nina looked up and saw that he had turned Super Saiyan. Jarvus also had his silver bow in his hands and it was electrifying fiercely. Nina tried to move but found her body chained to the ground. She felt herself panic and she glared back up into Jarvus' evil violet eyes. Jarvus slammed the bow into Nina's left rib cage and she heard an ear deafening crack echo through the emptiness. She screamed in pain and tried to break free but it was utterly useless. Nina found herself chained down on her stomach, her back out in the open.
Jarvus lifted up the rod again and slammed it down onto Nina's shoulder blade. Nina gave a roar of anger as the pain sucumbed her entire body, causing her vision to blur for tears were ready to reveal themselves. But she refused to cry in front of a monster so she shook off the tears and took in the pain like a real warrior.
Nina was now chained onto a board that was up, making her body vertical and her arms hung in the air as the chains clattered from her movement. She felt the rusty shackles tear into her flesh and could see the blood pour out onto the white emptiness. Nina looked up and saw her brother smiling evily. He began to pat the metalic rod in his hands and each time it hit, the bow would glow and sparks would emitt from it. Jarvus began to walk around Nina's body slowly, in a taunting way.
"Nina, Nina, Nina. Haven't I told you that you can never beat me? Now that I have thispower you so gratefully revealed to me, you and the rest of this world are doomed. You'll never win Nina." Jarvus said, full of cockiness.
Nina glared into his purple eyes and she spat at his face. Then she noticed the thin scar and she began to smile. Jarvus' grin disappeared and he pointed the tip of his bow at Nina's face. "What are you grinnin' about dear sister?" Jarvus inquired.
Nina began to chuckle and then she started to laugh loudly, it echoed over the voide. Jarvus growled and the bow sparked in front of her, but she didn't stop. "Stop Laughing!" He yelled. Her laughter eased and she still chuckled lightly.
"Even if you have the power Jarvus, that scar on your face will always remind you of how weak you are and that as a child, I defeated you triumphantly! Your statement should be changed around dear brother for the fact that you'll never win!" She snickered.
Nina laughed at him tauntingly and her eyes narrowed as she did so. Jarvus growled and he swung his rod at Nina's dangling arms causing her to scream with pain. She looked up and saw her arms hanging in an odd way. Jarvus looked at her and wasn't satisfied with what he'd done. He raised the rod again and bashed it into Nina's face, it caused her to have a long cut on her left cheek and blood seeped out of it. Nina didn't even have to look or touch to know she'd been cut open.
Nina screamed and suddenly, a power ignited inside her. A raidiant white light burned from her chest and it continued to glow brighter. Her whole body burned inside and out until Nina felt like she was consumed in fire. The light got brighter and Jarvus had to shield his eyes. The energy grew until it covered Nina completely and finally, it exploded causing the whole dark voide to go white and finally it got dark.
Trunks...where are you? It's so dark, and I'm scared and so alone.

Oh Look! She's waking up! Go get some water and a towel for me!
Nina's eyes slowly opened and she saw nothing but a blur. She blinked continuously to try and get her vision to focus and it started to work. She saw a figure in front of her that had foamy blue hair and the person seemed to be wearing a white shirt and some black pants. Or was it a skirt?
"Nina. Can you hear me? It's me, Pan." said a voice to her side that sounded worried.
Nina looked to the right side, her vision still a blur and saw an orange and black haired figure. Her sight began to focus a bit and she noticed that the orange was a bandana wrapped around the straight black hair. Pan sat on the other side of the bed and held Nina's hand in hers. Nina also noticed a woman who looked like Pan, except her hair was shorter, holding onto her shoulders. Pan wore her red and yellow trimmed bellie shirt and some baggy blue jeans along with her finger cut off fist gloves.
"Yeah, are you okay Nina?" Another voice called to her, more distant. Not as close.
She looked up from Pan and her vision steadily cleared. She saw three figure standing side by side together in height. The taller one looked like Goten but she could tell it wasn't by a closer look. They had the same hair style and everything. Next she saw a short spiky hair cut guy and knew that was Gohan. He smiled and so did the man next to him. Nina presumed it was one of the trainers she'd been trying to get hold of...Goku. And finally next to Gohan was Goten, an identical match with Goku. He smiled wistfully as he saw Nina look at him.
"Sis! Sis! Can you hear me?" This voice was so close, right near her ear.
Nina looked over to her left and saw a short bowl cut raven haired guy squeeze her hand. She smiled at her true brother...Samuel. Nina's vision ahd cleared completely and she saw the crystal tears form under Samuel's eyes. She noticed a figure behind him and turned her gaze toward it. She saw a man with jet black hair that flamed upward and he leanded against the wall, arms folded against his chest, eyes closed as well. Vegeta. Nina smiled happily. She couldn't believe all these people were watching over her.
Just then someone ran in through the door with a bucket of water and a towel hanging from his mouth. It was the lavender haired boy she'd hope to see all the time during her sleep. Trunks nearly dropped the bucket when he saw that Nina's eyes were open and her smile showing. Trunks placed the bucket on a table and dipped the towel in the warm water. He took the towel out and wringed it out of enough water, folded it and walked to her. Her eyes never left his sky blue ones. He gently placed the towel on her forehead and she felt a sudden flood of relief zoom through her body. She sighed in comfortness.
But the comfortness soon left when she sighed and felt a jeering pain shoot through her left rib cage and thought someone shattered her bones to shards of glass. She tried to lift up her arms to hold her side but when she did, it felt like someone took a sledge hammer and beat her arms till they were flat. Nina tried to sit up, regardless of the pain but felt the breath leave her as a seering pain stabbed her in the back causing her to gasp for dear life. Everyone jumped to the scene and only Goku, Gohan and Vegeta didn't go into a flurry of panic. Bulma placed her hand gently on Nina's right shoulder when she saw her try and get up.
Nina tossed and turned her head against the pillow, forcing her body to take the pain, forcing her will to be strong, forcing her emotions not to make her cry from the hurt and achingness. Those tears longed to come out, but Nina refused to let them come out for she thought tears represented weakness, and she believed with her soul that she was not weak.
"Nina, please lie still. Y'know kid, I like seeing you and all, but I wish you'd stop visiting the hospital wing everytime you come here." Bulma said, trying to be humorous.
Bulma winked at Nina and she gave a smile. Nina grinned in return and sighed again, even though it hurt like crazy when she did so. "Uh, Mrs. Bulma?" Nina whispered rather weakly.
Bulma, and everyone else in that room stared at Nina. Even Vegeta's eyebrow twitched at the sound of that name. Bulma laughed while giving her a crinkled nose look.
"Nina, I know you're new and you respect your elders, but in this case why don't you call me Bulma. Just plain Bulma, okay?"
Nina nodded. "Okay. Uh, Bulma?" Nina's voice was raspy.
"Yeah?" Bulma asked, now curious about what she needed.
"How long have I been unconcious?" Nina questioned, voice almost inaudible.
Bulma gave a look of uneasiness. "Um, for 3 days."
Nina's eyes widened. "WHAT?! FOR 3 DAYS?!" Nina cried out. She began to cough from the stress she was putting on her voice.
"You were pretty messed up. You've got 2 broken ribs in your left rib cage, a fractured arm and a bruised shoulder blade. Not to mention a scarred lung system. That's why your voice is so raspy." Bulma explained.
Nina desperately looked around at the others and then Nina glared at her brother.
"Samuel! Why didn't you give me a senzu bean?!" She said curtly.
Sam fell back from his sister's accusations and felt his rear crash onto the floor. He shook his hands in front of him pleadingly. "Hey look Sis! I wanted to but...they just wouldn't let me!"
Nina then glared at the others and at the same time had a look of wanting in her eyes. "But Why?!" She pleaded.
Vegeta opened his eyes and gave his usual stern look towards Nina. "Because it's best to heal naturally, girl. The senzu bean is only meant for emergency purposes anyhow. It would be a waste to use it on such minor healing properties."
Nina gave a groan. "But I have a field of them! It wouldn't be a waste because I have plenty to last me till the next 4 harvests!" She glanced back at Sam. "Sam, go home and get me a bean will you?"
Sam nodded and got up, only to have Vegeta stand in front of him. Sam's eyes narrowed. "Hey, could you get outta my way?"
Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "You're not going anywhere kid." Vegeta said, a hint of threat in his voice.
Sam growled at hearing the word 'kid'. He'd heard enough of that back on the Lang's farm and Nina took him away from being called a kid. Who does this guy think he is anyway? "Don't call me a kid! And I'm going whether you like it or not dude, so just back off!"
Vegeta stepped towards him. "I don't think you understand my motives kid." Vegeta emphasized the word on purpose. "When I say you're not going anywhere..." He stepped up closer, trying to show authority. "I mean, you're not going anywhere!"
Sam bared his teeth and was about to start swinging when Goku stepped in between them. Vegeta glowered at him. "Kakarot, get out of the way." He hissed.
Goku's eyes narrowed. "Vegeta, let him go. You can't force him to stay here y'know."
"I don't care! He's not going to get her a senzu bean and I'm going to prevent that from happening! You can't stop me Kakarot!" Vegeta retorted.
Sam folded his arms against his chest and tapped his foot. "Why doesn't he want me to go?! He probably just wants her to die or somethin'! Well...Does he?!"
Goku turned to Sam and his serious expression left his face. "That's not it. A senzu bean doesn't fully heal the body, it just strengthens the muscles and may heal a few broken bones. But in the condition your sister's in, it has to be a natural regenerized healing processes. Not only for the body, but for the mind as well. Vegeta's only trying to keep her from breaking anymore bones if she were to fight again. "
He turned around and faced Vegeta with a smile. "Right Vegeta?"
Vegeta gave a choke of shock and felt his face grow hot. He spun on his heels and turned his back to Goku. "I don't know what you're talking about Kakarot! I could care less about what happens to that girl!" Then Vegeta stormed out the door and slammed it shut behind him, causing everyone to flinch at the noise.
