The Arrival of a Knight! Lyra's Royal Heritage!
Chapter One: Arrival
After the defeat of Majin Buu, the Earth enjoyed a period of peace, forcing our favorite heroes to take up other tasks to preoccupy their time: training, watching dirty movies, giving up martial arts to pursue a career in law enforcement, becoming a scholar, or maybe sneaking in training instead of looking for a job and incurring his wife's wrath.
Lyra has been a close friend of the group for years. She was a farmer, a student under Master Roshi, a skilled sparring partner for Goku. Lyra was a young beautiful woman around Videl's age. She intense light blue eyes which complimented her pure white short hair. Her body was all but frail, being a farm girl and a proud student of Roshi's school of Martial Arts.
"Thank you all for attending today," Lyra's father, Dan, began. "My daughter, Lyra, and I would like to honor your bravery and valor for protecting our world time and time again. I know you have your reasons for choosing to remain in the shadows, but I want you all to know that you are all heroes. To heroes!"
"To heroes!" everyone yelled as they raised their mugs. Everyone was there. Piccolo, Goku, Chi Chi, Goten, Gohan, Videl, Bulma, Vegeta, Trunks, Roshi, Krillin, 18, Tin. Everyone. Vegeta insisted he didn't need the praise of some commoner, but submitted to Bulma's will after she began yelling.
"Now, everyone eat and enjoy yourselves!" Dan yelled and they did just that. Trunks and Goten went to explore the barn.
Goku and Lyra began arguing about who's the better fighter.
"Master Roshi? Tell her I'm better," Goku whined like a child.
Master Roshi eyed Lyra who smiled while arching her eyebrow. "Oh, I'm not getting in the middle of this."
"Oh, come on! You have to choose," Goku and Lyra whined in unison.
"I'll let you two decide for yourselves," Master Roshi replied, busy looking at a dirty magazine and getting a nosebleed.
"Yeah, that sounds great!" Goku yelled, suddenly excited like a child on Christmas morning. "How about it, Lyra? Let's have a fight!"
"Oh, you're on! And I apologize in advance for making you cry," Lyra replied sarcastically.
"Better be careful, Kakarot," Vegeta replied with a smile on his face, "Sounds like she means business."
The others began betting who would win before Dan intervened, "If you two really insist on fighting, take it elsewhere!"
"Okay, Dad! Try to keep up, primate!" Lyra said before she and Goku flew off.
"Oh, this I gotta see," Piccolo said following.
"Me, too," Krillin agreed and followed Piccolo.
Eventually, Vegeta was alone with Dan and the women. They all eyed him before he sighed angrily and got up, "I better go make sure that clown doesn't dishonor our race."
"What is it with men and fighting? And Lyra! What a tomboy!" Bulma started.
"Hmm hmm," Chi Chi agreed nodding and having her arms crossed
. . .
Far from Earth, a figure clad in armor, his face concealed by a full helmet, made his way to Earth. His armor was damaged from previous fights, but he beat them all.
The hologram inside his helmet was telling him that the Pandoran pod was on the third planet from the sun. "I'm coming for you, princess of Pandora," the warrior spoke through an intimidating modulated voice. "Finally."
. . .
Lyra and Goku were already fighting before the others arrived.
"So how are you doing with no enemies to fight and all?" Lyra casually asked as they fought.
"I know peace is a good thing and all," Goku complained, "but I'm so bored. Lately, all I've been doing was training so I can become stronger."
Lyra smiled, knowing Goku's family all too well. "And how does Chi Chi feel about you training?"
"She says I can't train anymore and that I need to start acting like a grown up and get a job," Goku continued to complain, dodging Lyra's attacks.
"Ouch," Lyra replied with a sarcastic smile, back up to dodge Goku's kick.
"I know," Goku said, "I just don't know what to do. I'm a Saiyan. I'm supposed to train, not do chores and work."
Lyra had an idea and shared it with her friend, "I have an idea, Goku. You should take up farming."
"Farming?" Goku asked.
"Yeah," Lyra explained, "My dad has an extra tractor you can use. Chi Chi is against you training. You can pick a secluded spot like this one and sneak in training. That way you are still working on getting stronger and making money to make Chi Chi happy."
Goku stopped fighting, distracted by Lyra brilliant plan, leaving himself vulnerable to a punch in the face which knocked him on his back.
"Oooh! That one looked like it hurt," Krillin joked.
"You're a disgrace, Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled proudly.
Goku laughed, "Well you got me this time, but I won't go easy on you next time."
Lyra's eyes widened. "You through the match?!"
"Yeah, sorry," Goku laughed as he got up.
Lyra got heated and she began yelling at Goku, but everyone was looking at the sky with wide eyes. "Guys, what's going on?"
"You don't feel that?" Gohan asked.
Lyra concentrated and suddenly felt the strong energy. "I only felt this energy once. It didn't scare me then, but it does now."
"It feels cold. Angry. Vengeful," Piccolo stated.
"Yeah," Gohan agreed.
Suddenly the energy disappeared. "Hey! Where did the energy go?" Lyra asked.
Goku's gaze was serious for a second. "Whatever it was, it's gone now."
"Should we investigate, Goku?" Piccolo asked.
After a moment of silence, Goku replied, "No. Let's get back to our fight, Lyra, and I won't go so easy on you just because you're a girl."
That upset Lyra and she lunged at Goku again.
(A/N: A couple of friends of mine talked about Dragon Ball Z a lot so I began watching. I started with Dragon Ball. It was okay. I just didn't like the graphics or the story as much. Dragon Ball Z was next and I couldn't help but laugh at all the yelling the characters did when they powered up. Someone is having trouble using the toilet. Ha-ha. So far I like Dragon Ball Super a lot and wish the English dubbed episodes would get released faster. Let me know what you think in your reviews. If you want to see something happen in the next chapter, let me know and maybe I can include it.)
