Dragon Ball: Ace of Spades

Prologue

Ms. Linda Night's PoV

Those darn children! Always running off into the woods, they could get hurt! I'm frantically looking for the children and hear a big explosion. No! The children might be over there! I rush in that direction, following the smoke. I ran for some time before entering an open field. I see the 4 children surrounding a huge crater from which the smoke is coming.

Me: Children!

They all look at me before looking back at the crater. I got closer and what I saw surprised me. A purple-haired child with a monkey tail! I think it's one of those accessories the children usually wear. Anyway, he looks small enough to be 5 years old, poor thing. I look at the children before sliding down the crater.

Aki: Ms.Night!

Jojo: Don't go down! You'll get hurt!

Me: I'll be fine, children!

I smile and wave at them before looking at the monkey-tailed boy and retaining a serious face. I pick the unconscious boy up and climb out of the crater. I look at the children.

Me: When we get back, you four are in SERIOUS trouble! Now, let's hurry home!

We all run to the orphanage while I have the unconscious boy in my arms. What have you gotten yourself into NOW Linda?

I sit the boy down in the medical room, removing his clothes and wrapping bandages around his body. He's breathing heavily. At least he's breathing at all. His head was bleeding badly. I undo the bandages and clean his cuts and bruises. I then apply new bandages, putting pressure on him to stop the bleeding. Once all badges were put onto him I sigh and slump to the wall. I'm stressed. I didn't know if the boy was going to be okay, and watching all of these kids alone was going to be a problem. I mean I have Dray to help me but he has a smart mouth. At least he's helpful. Speaking of the devil I hear knocking on the door. I turn to the door and see Dray. He had his usual open black jacket on with a white t-shirt inside, his blue jeans, his black shoes, and a furry belt. I don't know why his parents bought that but they did.

Dray: You look stressed, Linda. Go take a break. I'll deal with the children.

That's right. He has no manners.

Me: How many times do I have to tell you, Dray? It's "Ms.Night" to you.

Dray stood silent before turning to the boy I found. Dray looked back at me and pointed at the boy.

Dray: Who's the prune?

This rude ass little shit.

Me: Don't worry about it. Will you take care of dinner while I wait for him to wake up?

Dray says nothing and leaves me by myself. I sit in the room and listen to my thoughts. My mind wanders as I watch the clock on the wall. My thoughts eventually shifted to Dray. It was nice having someone to talk to, someone who can at least understand how hard this is. It's hard to believe he's 5 years old.

Aki: Yay! Dray's cooking again!

The kids love him but they also hate him. Aki was always a loud one, I heard it from upstairs. My eyes feel heavy as I doze off, falling asleep.

Dray's PoV

I finished cooking within an hour and made a plate for Linda. All of the children are sitting at the table. Just in time for dinner. By now, Linda would be at the door at least. But, I don't even hear her footsteps coming down the stairs.

Me: You kids better not do anything bad. Or else I'll take your food.

Jojo: We won't!

I walk out of the dining room and up the stairs. I look inside her room. She's not here. I might know where she is. I went inside the room where she sat the prune. I looked to my right and there she was. Sleeping on the floor. I sigh and shake her to wake her up. She almost wakes up but only turns away from me. I shake her more and she slaps my hand. I sigh and pick her up. Yes, I am much shorter than her so I'm not able to fully put her on my back. Her arms are around my shoulder as her lower half is being dragged on the floor. I drag her to her room. Once I get to her bed I climb the bed and pull her up onto it. once she's on, I gently get off of the bed. I noticed her shivering so I put a blanket on her. I leave the room close the door and go back downstairs to check on the children. They are all finished with their food and are waiting for Linda to tell them to get ready for bed. I guess I have to.

Me: Alright, it's time to get ready for bed. Go upstairs and brush your teeth. Quietly. Especially you, Aki.

They all nod and do as they were told. I go back upstairs and into the prune's room. He's still unconscious. I don't bother checking on him and leave the whole orphanage. Heading home, I look at the sky. Why does it feel like something weird is about to go down?

Time skip Linda's PoV

I slowly open my eyes and realize I'm in my room. How did I get in here? Did I sleepwalk? Wait! The children! I quickly get up and get ready for the day. Afterward, I do my daily "Dray Hunt" if you'd even call it that. Dray walks around the city by himself even though he's 5 years old. I have to catch him and put him in here. I bet he's used to it by now. However, today I don't see him. I look at my watch. He's 10 minutes late. I then remembered I had a new kid. I go back inside the orphanage, greet the children, and check on the "prune" as Dray calls him. I open the door and see him awake, sitting up and looking out the window. He turns to me and stares.

Me: Hello.

I got closer as he flinched. I stopped moving.

Me: I found you inside a hole, do you remember anything that happened?

The purple-haired boy only shook his head. I sigh.

Me: Do you even remember your name?

The boy thinks for a bit, looking at the ceiling. He looks back at me with a tiny smile.

Razzaline: Razzaline... My name is Razzaline.

Okay, this is a decent start.

Me: How old are you?

Razzaline counts his fingers. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't adorable. He put his hand up, indicating that he was 5 years old.

Me: Do you know your parents?

He thinks for a bit and then shakes his head. Since he's 5, I doubt he knows where he lives. I heard a knock on the door so I turned around. I see Dray with 2 plates of food in his hands.

Dray: Here. Don't oversleep again, making food is kind of a pain.

I overslept!? I didn't even realize! Dray walks over to me and hands me a plate. He then walks over to Razzaline and hands him the other one.

Dray: Well if you need me you know where to find me.

Me: But I don't.

Dray: Exactly.

With that, Dray leaves the room. That fucking kid doesn't know how to be nice at all! I look over at Razzaline as he's eating. I give a small smile. Something about this boy gives me a good feeling about the world.
