Jarvus couldn't help but smile at the appall and then irritation on his younger sister's face. Although he couldn't blame her. She hadn't met him since she was an infant, let alone knew he existed. She may have known somewhere deep in her soul, but living on her own for 13 years made Nina learn to push those certain feelings aside. Though to Jarvus' dismay, he didn't have time to try and get to know her, nor tell her how much he'd been meaning to take her and Kino, his other younger sister, away from the orphanage at that time, but he had training to do. And that was why he was here, to train his sister in a way that may cause her to stereotype Jarvus' true motives. But there was no time for sentimental feelings such as that. She had to become a Super Saiyan and quickly.

Nina continued to look at her tail. She couldn't believe it had grown back! Just her luck too! Now she no longer had an alibi to go on. So this Jarvus guy obviously knew who she was, but he was no brother of hers. Nina would've known long ago that she had a sibling. She couldn't understand that if he was her brother, why didn't he take her away from all the torture she had been through. Nina was too young to remember that far back. Well, whatever the reason was, she was going to get the story on this guy and that was a promise she meant to keep on this. But importantly, she had to keep herself from facing the moon, otherwise there would be serious trouble. She could've cared less about the cottage, even though Samuel and herself did work hard on it. It was Sam she was more concerned about. Nina could remember the first time she transformed when she was about 7 years old at the orphanage and it was all over the news the next day.

She looked over in Sam's direction to see he was very angry. He obviously did not like this disturbance anymore than she did and she couldn't blame him.

"So, are you going to fight me or not Nina?" Jarvus asked, bringing her attention back to the cause of all her aggrivations.

Nina's fist tightened and then relaxed. "I'm not going to fight you. I have nothing against you," She paused. "Stranger."

Jarvus winced at the last remark, but then sneered. He knew how to get her to fight. He shrugged. "Okay then, since you won't fight I'll just take all my aggressions out on your so-called brother here."

Her eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare!" she snapped.

Jarvus cocked an eyebrow. "Oh I wouldn't would I?" he mocked her.

Nina's eyes narrowed in anger and she grabbed his shirt collar, wrenching him down to her level. His purple eyes gleamed with arrogance while a low growl escaped her throat. "Now you listen and you listen good! If you so much as lay a hand on my brother I'll kill you!" she snarled, then pushed him away from her.

Jarvus stumbled back and then righted himself. He brushed a silver strand of hair from his view and smiled. He had surely gotten to her then, but it wasn't going to be enough to get her to fight. Then another idea hit him that would definately get his sister to fight.

Suddenly he disappeared and Nina could not trace his ki signal and this was bad. Not only could she not trace it then, but she didn't sense it when he approached the first time. She continued to search until she heard a faint grumble, as though someone were struggling to get free. Nina turned around and saw that Jarvus had her brother Sam in his grasp while Sam tried to break loose, but it was obviously no use.

Rage filled her mind. "Take your hands off him!" she screamed and then charged towards him.

Jarvus easily threw Sam aside and he went skidding down on the ground hard. He slammed up against a tree and started to groan in pain as he slid down against the trunk. Nina ran to his side and tried to shake him awake. He was in a bit of a daze so he did not recognize her at first. When his eyes came back into focus, he saw his sister and smiled.

He tried to speak, but only managed to cough out some blood. Nina felt like crying. "D-don't w-worry about me Nina. I'm a-alright, re-really." he reassured.

Nina wiped his mouth clean while holding back her tears. "Don't worry Bro, I'll get'm!" And without waiting for a reply, she spun on her heals and shot off towards her new found enemy.

Just as Nina was about to slam into Jarvus with some attacks, hatred flooding her heart, he had pulled the rod off his back and it gleamed silver, sparking with electricty. He held it out in front of him and it stopped Nina dead in her tracks. The steel rod dug into her abs, but she managed to push the pain back far down into the depths of her mind.

Jarvus smiled down at her. "Man, you're weak! You've gotta be quicker than that!" he said and then disappeared.

Then he was behind her and kicked her hard in the back, causing her to sail up in the sky. She caught herself and turned around, floating in the air. Nina's mind wasn't focused. She had to get focused! Her eyes darted everywhere but in the direction of the moon and suddenly she could sense him. Nina shot off a red energy blast and he flickered back into view, just dodging the attack. Jarvus charged at her and swung his rod while she tried to block as many attacks as possible. But her defense wasn't all too great so many of the attacks went through. He had clobbered her in the ribs, legs and then punched her hard in the face which made her crash to the ground. She tried to lift herself up only to find that Jarvus was now on her stomach, rod raised high in the air, sparking with intensity.

Nina scanned the sky for the moon. Desperate times call for desperate measures. she thought.

She found the moon and made sure she got an eyefull. Her heart started to pound hard against her chest, as though there was a bass drum beating inside her instead of the steady, rhythmic beat of her heart. It wasn't until her eyes narrowed and got blood red that Jarvus knew she was transforming. The pain of her flesh wounds were no longer a concern to her at the moment. Nina lifted her arms and saw that they were beginning to grow hair on them. She grabbed Jarvus by the ankles and threw him off of her. He landed with a hard thud in the grass, but as soon as he recovered, he stared at the scene before him in horror.

Her teeth grew long and pointy in her mouth and she could feel her facial features start to grow out. She gave a mighty roar that was so terrifying, it sounded like a cross between a tiger and an ape. Her body grew large and powerful, ripping the shirt that she wore. Underneath her shirt however, she had on one of her mother's old bodysuits that stopped a bit above the elbow and were shorts on the bottom. The socks she had on her feet began to unthread and Nina grew from 5 feet to 8, and then to 10. She was large and stocky, covered in hair except for the bodysuit, and had pointy ears. Her eyes were angled red and she snarled, continuing to reveal her wicked fangs under her snout. Nina had transformed into an Oozaru, the first extrodinary transformation of the Saiyan race.

Sam gazed at his sister in shock, opening his mouth as if to scream but no sound came out. The pain of his wounds had completely fled his mind. In fact, he was now off the ground, but as if a reflex he clutched his arm. He knew that Nina could transform into something very horrible. She had told him about it many times because she would always remind him to keep her inside if a full moon was out. But Sam had never imagined anything like this!

He trembled and shook off a shudder. "Man, she's so big! Hope she doesn't crush the cottage!" Sam said absent mindedly.

Even though Nina had only transformed a few times in her life, during that time and with the help of her mother's discs, she was able to control her bloodthirsty rage. It took her the whole 2 years to learn this (As well as some sneak practices in the middle of the night without Sam's supervision.) and learned to do it well within the beginning of the 2nd year.

Nina turned to face Jarvus, red eyes narrowed as she bared her teeth. "HEH-HEH! YOU STILL WANNA FIGHT ME JARVUS?" she bellowed.

Nina did not wait for an answer. Instead she scooped up Jarvus in her large paws and began to squeeze him, causing the Saiyan to yell out in pain. To his own regret, Nina was facing away from the moon so he could not transform himself. She raised her fist in the air and brought Jarvus down with her own fist. The massive paw struck the earth, cracks spreading in every direction. Jarvus screamed in agony as he felt his legs collapse beneath him. Nina brought him up again, but this time let go which caused him to soar into the night sky. She opened her mouth and a red energy beam erupted from her mouth, sweldering with heat. It engulfed Jarvus, the flame stinging him all over his skin and then descended towards the ground. Just when he got in front of Nina, she snapped her jaws at him, but missed. Instead, her sharp fangs tore into the skin on his left cheek. Then he slowly fell, blood raining down on the ground. He was now a heap on the grass, broken and barely concious.

Nina was about to crush him with her large foot, but a voice stopped her. "NINA!"

She turned her head, wondering who it might've been. She looked down to see her brother Sam, blood falling down over his eye from the cut on his head. He looked so much more vulnerable from her point of view.

"Nina! Stop this! You've already won! Enough!" he yelled to her.

Nina's eyes narrowed. "HE SENT YOU SAILING ACROSS A FIELD, HURTING YOU AND YOU WANT ME TO STOP?!" she roared, anger rattling in her throat.

Sam formed a blue discuss in his hand and gazed up at Nina with hurt eyes. "I'm sorry about this Nina." he said, and then threw the discuss at her.

The saw-like object cut her tail and she began to shrink down to her normal size. She roared in distress as well as anger. The hair vanished from around her and her facial features returned. Her body was fatigued and she collapsed onto the grass. She wasn't in full control as she thought she had been. Nina fell into a deep sleep. Sam looked over where Jarvus lay, only to see that he was no longer there. He had made his leave during all the confusion.

~Back to the Present~

Sam had never forgotten that face, and during the situation at hand before him, he wasn't as surprised as he thought he was when it revealed itself on her face. Nina's eyes narrowed severly at him, wondering why he had come. He was just putting her at a disadvantage. He had to go or else she wouldn't be able to fight.

Cougar saw that Nina wasn't looking so decided to take her chance. She raised up her hand and her claws lunged at her back. Caught off guard, Nina slowly turned her back and saw the long talons head for her, preparing to end her life. Suddenly, a figure flickered before her and fear clutched at her heart. For a moment she thought it was Samuel and the fear increased as she could hear the claws rip through the flesh. It made her sick to her stomach and she collapsed onto her knees.

She let out a sob and looked down at the ground when she noticed that she was standing in a pool of blood. Nina followed to where the pool began and gasped with horror. Expecting her dear brother Sam, in place was Jarvus, lying face down in the grass. His silver hair was stained with blood splatters and the sight made her heart wrench in agony. She saw his back heave and hope filled her heart. He was still alive! Nina scrambled over to the body and turned it over, suddenly wishing she hadn't.

His stomach had been torn open, blood pouring everywhere next to the scars that were revealed near his abs. His white shirt was soaked in red blood and his jeans looked more maroon than black. Nina saw his face turn pale as he recognized who had turned him over. He did not want to see the grief stricken expression that now showed on her face. Jarvus tried to turn over, removing himself from her pained violet eyes, but Nina held his shoulders firm and wouldn't let go. She let out a sob as his dark violet eyes began to fade from dark to lavender, almost white.

Jarvus smiled, struggling to lift his arm up. "Take care little sister of mine." he whispered as his eyes began to fade from white to grey, and then his arm dropped in the red blood.

Nina's eyes widened, tears falling down her cheeks. Jarvus, her own brother, had died for her just then. All her life she had grown up hating him, even before she knew him she hated him. She had hated him for abandoning her in the orphanage. She had hated him for not bothering to check up on her or Kino. She had hated him for hurting Sam just to get to her. All her life, she had hated him. But seeing her own brother Jarvus die in her arms, in his own blood and without fear, caused a new feeling to grow inside of her. The feeling was compassion and sympothy, for now she truly knew what he had been trying to do all that time. Trying to make her hate him so she could train viciously just to destroy him. She finally realized the truth. She had just lost a part of herself.

She hated him no more.

* * * * * *

Marron screamed out loud, tossing and turning in her bed. Sweat covered her face as she began to fidget against the pain. Videl was now by her side, fear swept over her wondering if the child had fever. She placed a hand on Marron's foreheard, but it felt normal. Suddenly, Marron's blue eyes shot open and she gave a frightened whimper. She sat up and began to heave her lungs, dying for air. Videl pulled the child close to her and Marron wept in her chest.

"Marron honey, what's the matter?" Videl asked.

A soft whine escaped Marron's lips. "It's just awful Mrs. Videl! Just so awful!"

Videl pulled Marron from her chest and stared at her tear stained face. "What's awful?" she asked.

Marron wiped the tears from her face and sighed. "I feel sorry for Nina." she whispered.

Videl gave a confused look. How did she know about Nina? "Why's that?"

Marron looked out at the full moon over the dark sky. "Her brother just died."

* * * * * *

Nina screamed. She screamed until her lungs hurt, and continued to do so after that. A blood curdling scream that was enough to wake the dead. A fierce battle cry that made the earth tremble, so much in fact that the entire world felt the ground rumble beneath their feet. The stone symbol on her head began to beam red, as well as the stone around Jarvus' neck and the one that hung on Kino's ear. All of them, red as the blood that Nina kneeled in. Her black hair began to rise off of her neck, flashing from black to red. The long black locks on each side of her cheek grew smaller and curled upward, a bright scarlet. Nina's eyes were now a cat-like yellow, brows red over the golden haze.

Cougar looked at the young Saiyan whom she tried to kill, but instead killed her brother. Well, she had gotten part of her mission done although she wished to destroy Nina instead. But why on earth was this girl screaming so much, I mean it wasn't that much of a loss. Cougar wasn't sure if she could keep her balance on the unstable ground as it continued its tremulous movements.

Nina glared at Cougar, rage shone in her yellow eyes. "I'LL KILL YOU!" she shrieked.

The mark on her forehead was now bright red and the stone around Jarvus' neck snatched itself from around the faded leather strap. The stone shot itself towards her forehead and placed itself in an angle next to the stone mark in the middle. There were now 2 glowing marks on her forehead, burning red. Amidst all the confusion, Kino's stone tore itself away from its chain link restraints and found its place on the other side of the stone in the middle of her younger sister's forehead. Finally they faded into a deep, dark scarlet.

Nina threw her hands in the air as the winds began to pick up around her in a swirling vortex. She continued to scream as the power surged all around her, red bolts of lightning stinging her entire body. But she didn't care about the pain, she just wanted to destroy the one who destroyed what was a part of her. The 3 stone marks on her forehead shot off a brilliant beam of red light at Cougar. She tried to dodge the rays but her evasion was all but successful. It pierced her just above the heart, her blood unrecognizable against the beams red light as it sputtered in many directions. She clutched at her chest and fell onto her knees, shrieking in pain.

Nina turned her head sharply and caught a gaze of the other two assasins. It was all their fault that Jarvus was now gone. If they hadn't have come, he wouldn't have died. It was their fault! They were to blame for his death! Even though she didn't care for him too much at first, he was still blood. They had to pay, they were going to pay dearly for his demise.

The beam shot off from her and headed towards Tessay. Her eyes widened in shock as the unknown attack came to claim her life. In quick thinking, she did a backflip but failed to dodge the blast completely. Instead, while her legs were in the air the beam shot through her leg right below the kneecap. When she tried to land, she simply fell onto her knees as blood poured over the grass. She growled with pain.

Rowan didn't notice the second blast until after Tessay had fallen onto the ground. Then he saw an emense bright force head his way. He tried to soar up into the sky, but the blast was too quick. While he tried to fly into the sky, the ray had succeeded in tunneling through his side, just above the hip. When he looked down, high in the air, he saw his own blood spill over onto his jeans. He was totally shocked. No one, at least no one he could remember, had ever spilled his blood and lived afterwards. Yet there was no feeling of rage in his body. He looked over at Nina and had a feeling of complete admiration. It was too bad that now she had to die.

Suddenly, Nina's body disappeared and then reappeared in front of Cougar. She had moved so fast that Cougar had no detection of her. Before she could defend herself however, Nina reared back and slammed a punch straight into the wound hole she had created above Cougar's heart. The pain was emense and torturing as Cougar could feel solid flesh burrow through her chest. But before she coudl retaliate, Nina had disappeared once again, leaving a faded image of herself behind, the blazing red hair spiked and piercing yellow eyes enough to send chills up Cougar's spine.

The young Saiyan flickered in front of Tessay and she was quick enough to block an attack that was aimed for her wound. But Nina speedily punched Tessay in the stomach, uppercutted her and then kneed her in the chest. Tessay coughed out blood, but before she could gasp for air, Nina had backfisted her and then slammed a kick into her arm, the pressure digging into her torn flesh. She screamed in pain, but the shriek was cut off as Nina headbutted her and then flickered away.

Nina phased before Rowan and this time he was the one to retaliate against her. He punched at her, but caught his fist and began to squeeze it. A bone in his hand began to crack and the pain surged throughout his entire body. He tried to punch at her with his other hand, but she caught that one as well and squeezed it with just as much force she had on the other. Both of the fists' knuckles began to crack and finally, she broke 3 of his fingers. Rowan screamed in pain, but then bit his lower lip and began to whimper. Nina looked into his dark eyes and he looked into her bright yellow ones. There was a sudden connection, but then it was lost as Nina back handed him and then spin kicked him on the hip, the heel of her foot dug into his wound and more blood began to spill out.

Rowan managed to wriggle out of the hold she had on him and jetted up into the sky. Followed by Tessay and Cougar who seemed quite broken as well. Nina floated down towards the ground and saw the 3 figures against the dark sky. Her eyes narrowed in fury, but she would not chase.

Tessay glared down at the Saiyan. "That punk! I'll kill her if it's the last thing I do!" she muttered. "And I'll be damned if anyone's gonna stop me!"

Cougar snarled viciously as her ears twitched. She had gone back to her regular form and she clutched her chest, lungs heaving in pain. "Stupid monkey, I'll make her pay for this injury!" she hissed.

Rowan held strong, trying his best to ignore the pain in his hands and hip. "She's good I'll give her that, but I'll not let her forget what's going to take place on her." he said to himself calmly.

Tessay growled. "Hey Weaklings!" she called out to the Z fighters. Then she shifted her gaze towards Nina. "That Includes You Nina! If You Think That You've Won, You're Sadly Mistaken! This Is Far From Over! In Three Days Time, We Will Return And Anyone Of Your Fighters May Challenge Us One By One, Or All Together! Whoever Wins Will Determine Whether Or Not Earth Will Still Be A Planet! This Fight...Is To The Death!" she screamed and then the 3 assasins raced towards their ship.

The black diamond shot off from the ground and ascended into the sky. Nina fell onto her knees, brown hair wafting in the wind as she stared at the three ivory colored stones before her. They glowed, shimmered and gave a type of calm before her. She looked up at the sky as she saw the ship break through Earth's atmosphere.

Nina's eyes narrowed. "Bring...it...on." she said, and then collapsed onto the ground, her hands closed over the 3 stones, the mystery of her power and her origin.
