After Nalin and Blaze had left her home Maruca sat in her chair feeling sick to her stomach. The real reason she had ignored the Saiyans' plotting and had sent the icer and her servant off on a wild goose chase to get money to pay for his services was that she was not feeling well. She had not felt well actually since she had come back from Earth when she had met Kami Tenshu with Nam.
Something just seemed off with that meeting but she could not remember what. She had felt fatigued after the battle and had fainted and now since then she had been spitting up awkward colored blood and fainting in the presence of important people like her village's landing crew and the village priest. She had also had weird dreams where she had fought an evil version of herself and had met a strange creature that was disguised as Kami Tenshu. What this creature was a mystery, but it had a tail she remembered that was much different from a Saiyan's tail, wait, no that was not right. It had hands that were different from Kami Tenshu's and Saiyans. Like it had about three digits, no, was it four?
Maruca had a hard time remembering as she rose from her seat and touched her aching forehead. Suddenly, a sense of dizziness came over her and she collapsed, thumping directly against the wooden floor of the tree. Her body shivered as though the hot air around her were cold, but that was impossible since the entire planet was suited for the Florian life style. "What in the-" she pondered to herself as she lost consciousness.
While she was asleep her mouth drooped open and the last bit of green-brown blood she would ever see dripped from her mouth. The blood cells in her body, since Kami Tenshu's strange power up on Earth at the Kami's Lookout, warped within her body into strange sickle cell shaped cells and turned a brown hue, forcing her blood stream to turn the same color. On the outside, as her blood was slowly changed, her skin began to darken and turn brown too. It grew hard like wood as a thick layer of bark sprouted up from her skin and hardened over her lean muscles.
While this occurred three strange branches grew out of her body. One from her forehead and two from the back of her shoulder blades, curving like horns as they did. The one on her forehead curved upwards and the two on her back curved downwards. While this was going on, there was an accelerated growth of seeds in her hair as many small blue flowers sprouted from her scalp and flowed down her long blond hair like a carpet covering. In terms of odd things growing out of her body the last thing to change for her, in this regard, would be the fact that two large sunflowers would grow directly out of the side of her hips. These sunflowers would be quite big and take up a lot of space, measuring an amazing one and a half feet across.
The final thing to change would be her eyes they would change from her normal blue to a pink coloring before dulling slightly. She would also develop sharp pointy fangs. She would not realize these changes though until she woke up an hour later and sat up with a shocked feeling as she felt a slightly tougher skin under the night gown she was wearing. She had simply wanted to go back to bed and think up plans on how to deal with the Saiyan and Florian relations on her planet, but had instead this to face.
Tears flowed down her eyes as she crawled over to the back end of her home and out onto a branch. She felt hungry, almost to the point of being extremely famished. So as she looked down at her people hundreds of feet below she could only think of food. Why? She had no clue, but she felt if she bit them her hunger would leave her.
Her sense of smell grew stronger as mouth watered. She wanted to eat. She had been wanting to eat a little more since she had returned to her planet only a short while ago, but this time, well. The hunger was much stronger. The bear she had eaten the night before, and had brought back with Toshiro and Blaze's help had not been enough to satisfy her stomach. Some had actually thought it odd at dinner that she had eaten so much since Florians did eat meat, but not in such large quantities that their stomachs would burst. No, they were definitely different than the Saiyans in this regard, but she felt like now she could go out there and eat something or someone on a whim.
Unfortunately, before she could even stand up to try this a headache wrecked her desire and forced her to grab her skull. There was a great deal of pain going through her head and yet she somehow felt she was imagining this all. She wanted it to end, whatever this was, but it would not. The pain kept throbbing through her head and then she heard a voice.
"Child, welcome to the family... There are many among us who would like to welcome you and your Infection." She had no idea who was talking, but it was definitely a disembodied voice.
"You received a good gift a while ago, so please use it for the family and bring in more people you would like to see among them." Maruca's eye's wavered back and forth as she tried to understand who was talking and what was going on, but all she could do was scream as a hand with three digits reached out and picked her up from her feet.
Another hour passed and when Maruca came to again she found she had gone suffered another state of unconsciousness while standing up. Nothing for her predicament had changed. Whatever happened had been real because as she looked down at herself she was covered in brown bark and had flowers growing out of her sides and hair. Whoever had contacted her in her head, if that was real, had spoken of an Infection she had been given. Whatever this was she was now permanently apart of this family, and felt a desire to try and figure out what had just happened to her.
