Xena's Story: A DBZ Fanfic

The Time Nest

I have been here in the time nest working for the kais as a time patroller for many months now. My 14th birthday has come and gone. If I'm not going on missions I'm training with Piccolo working on learning when to old back and when to go all out since while with my father I didn't know what holding back meant.

"Xena you aren't holding back enough, you are going to harm your opponent!" Piccolo barked at me making me falter enough that gave my sparing partner an opening to attack. He was fast but not fast enough, I caught his fist before it made contact with my stomach.

"You are too slow, learn to attack faster or don't bother attacking at all!" I snapped at the majin boy annoyed. I release his fist as he steps back away from me. I glare at him before flying up to the hilltop Piccolo was standing on. "Am I done now?" I ask his as I land.

"Not until you learn to hold back on your power, you about killed your last sparing partner." He said crossing his arms.

"Well what did you expect? I was trained to fight and kill by Goku remember!" I snapped throwing my arms up in the air. I started calling father simply by Goku shortly after my 14th birthday due to the fact that I decided he no longer deserved that title.

"I'm fully aware of that which is the point of all this, you need to learn to control your power instead of just going all out all the time." He said staring down at me. I don't reply just stand there glaring and growling at him.

"Xena we have a new mission for you." Elder kai said walking over to us.

"Alright coming. Also I have a bone to pick with you old man!" I say storming over to him.

"What is it?" He asked as he started walking.

"What the hell is with this skimpy ass uniform you guys make me wear!" I yell at him.

"That's the time patroller's uniform for the saiyan race, so there for that's what you have to wear if you want to work as a time patroller." He explained. "Besides it's no less skimpy that what you had on before." He said referring to my black and grey gi.

"At least with my gi I wasn't walking around in literally a pair of black panties! My gi covered my ass, why can't I wear the earthlings uniform they actually have clothes instead of a piece of armor and underwear!" I said annoyed. I swing my tail back and forth irritably.

"We can continue this conversation later we are here. Wrap your tail back around your waist and let's go." He said walking into the time nest.

"Tsk..." I swing my tail around a little more before wrapping it back around the bottom of my armor and follow him into the building.

"Glad you are here Xena, we got a new mission for you." Supreme Kai of Time said seeing me come in. "Here have a look at this..." She said unrolling a corrupted time scroll. In the scroll we see Yamcha and Tien getting beaten by the saibamen that have gotten a lot stronger than they should be. "This isn't good, Xena we need you to go help them out. Here." She said handing me the corrupted scroll. "See ya when you get back." She smiled as I was enveloped by the familiar white light.

When I open my eyes back up I'm standing in a wasteland with Yamcha and Tien staring at me. "Who are you?" Yamcha asked.

"It seems like she's here to help so does it matter who she is?" Tien said turning back to the saibamen.

"But look at her outfit, she's dressed just like the saiyans!" Yamcha yelled glaring at me.

"Look I'm here to help, besides it seems you have a more pressing matter to deal with rather than complaining about my clothing." I said with an expressionless look on my face.

"Tsk..." Yamcha finally turned back to the saibamen as they charged at us.

"Stupid little shits die!" I yell as I fight the countless saibamen attacking me trying to stay in control. I stay out of sight of the saiyans due partially to the fact that I was dressed like them. 'Don't lose it, don't lose it...' I think to myself as more of them swarm me as I see my aura flash from it's usual pale green to the light pink of my rose form.

"YAMCHA!!" I hear Tien yell after a large explosion. I feel his energy signature fade away as I start to rush over to see what happened only to see Yamcha's body unmoving curled up in a crater.

~This is what's supposed to happen, the time line has been restored you can come back now.~ Supreme Kai of Time said through my scouter.

"~understood, on my way back.~" I said back through the scouter as I start the transition back to the time nest.

"Well done Xena." Supreme Kai of Time said as the white light fades. I hand her the time scroll that has returned to normal.

"We were watching your performance and you were losing your control on your power again child." Elder Kai said.

"Well excuse me old man, what did you expect me to do when I was getting swarmed with those stupid little plant men!" I snapped at him. "I'm well aware of the fact I was losing my control. I don't think it's possible for me to control my power, it's too much and I still have the urge to let loose and kill someone. I'm well aware I'm still as ruthless and heartless with my missions as I was back in my time line." I said thinking back to that time a year ago before the old man brought me here.

"Xena don't say that, you aren't heartless and you are only ruthless because you haven't learned to control your power yet." Supreme Kai of Time said walking over to me.

"Yea right, I don't think I'm capable of kindness or compassion like you guys. I've been raised to kill no questions asked remember? I doubt I will ever change." I said coldly swishing my tail around again.

"Xena..." She started then trailed off.

"What?" I said with the same cold tone that Goku used with me throughout my childhood. I see her flinch back from my icy tone.

"Y-you will have another mission tomorrow morning so report here as soon as you are ready...ok?" She asked watching my tail flick back and forth quickly.

"Understood." Is all I say as I leave the time nest headed for my room in the barracks.
