As the school years went on, she became a strong and competent fighter, acing her classes and becoming one of the most poplar girls on the planet. But still by the age of 18, she hadn't been in a serious relationship with anyone. She had resolved herself to the fact that she wouldn't find a nice Namekian boy to settle down with, like her mother reminded her to start doing every chance she got. Her father was just happy that she was happy. And she was happy. She was an awesome fighter, better even than Nail now, but there was something missing in her life. She knew she was different, she knew she was a Saiyan. All the others Saiyans where killed when their home planet was destroyed, or so her father told her. He was trying to protect her. He had heard rumours that the strongest fighter in the universe was out looking for Saiyans, recruiting them, or killing them. He didn't want his daughter to become either, so he went to Guru. Together, they developed a necklace for Ava. This necklace was infused with the magic of the great dragon Porunga. The necklace would give the illusion to anyone who met Ava or saw her, that she was a Namekian. But Moori wouldn't give it to her just yet. If Frieza came knocking, then he would give it to her.
She was sitting in her dorm room, having just received word that had passed her final year of school. She was going to miss this place. Fighting is when she felt truly like herself, for some strange reason. Also, she had discovered that if she didn't fight, she became extremely angry. There was a knock at the door and turned to see her father standing there.
"Dad, I said you didn't have to come get me. I know the way home." She stood up and hugged her father.
"I'm not here as your father, love." He smiled, stepping back.
"Your grandfather has appointed me as the next elder, as you well know." He explained.
"Yes, but we've known for some time now. Has anything changed, is granddad okay?" she asked, worried that the old man was close to the end of his life.
"No, he's fine. But what you don't know is that, as the next elder, I'm responsible for the protection of this planet. And I am therefore, the head of the group of fighters charged with that duty." He said to her.
"Oh, that's really cool. So, are you here to recruit fighters, there are a few good fighter this year." She said, looking past her father, seeing the new little first graders coming into the school, with exactly the same expression she had on her face 11 years ago.
"I'm here only for the top ten. To be recruited formally into the army. Even though, the army is a secret." He smiled.
"Top ten, hey, that means that you're here to recruit… me?" she asked him.
"Your master says you are the top fighter of this year, but I knew that already. And seeing as you're the strongest fighter this academy has ever trained, you will automatically be given the rank of second in command. So, my love, will you accept this duty?" he asked her.
She turned and walked to the window and smiled to herself. She had always suspected there was a secret organization that kept the planet safe, but she never expected her dad to be the head of that group.
"I will dad." She smiled and turned to him.
She walked up to him, grabbing her rucksack on the way.
"For this planet, for my home. I will do anything and everything." She said.
He smiled and walked out, leading the way.
They made their way to the HQ of the army, where she was given her new mission. Her only mission, protect the 4 star dragonball.
"But dad, surely there must be something else I can do." She whined to him.
"Ava, if all the balls are gathered, the dragon can grant any three wishes the summoner wants. But if one ball is under the protection of the best fighter on the planet…" he explained.
"Then Porunga can't be summoned." She put the pieces together.
"I will accept my new mission, father." She said, taking the ball for him.
They went home to their home village, where Ava discovered her parents had built her a home of her own, down the path from their own. When Ava landed, her mother can running out to greet her.
"Ava, sweetheart!" she shouted, running up to her.
"Hey mom…" Ava hugged her mother.
"Oh, look how tall you've gotten…" she said, touching her long black hair.
"And your hair, my goodness, it's so long now." she said, looking at her daughter's face.
When Ava had first landed and she was told to be a mother to this strange child, she wasn't sure what to think, but now, she was proud to have her as a daughter. And even though the Namekian boys didn't find her attractive, she had become a beautiful young woman.
"I wanted to ask you, can you trim it up for me a little." Ava asked her mom.
"Sure love, but first, we have a surprise for you…" she said, pointing her in the direction of her new house.
"For me, really?" Ava asked, smiling at her parents.
"You're a grown up now. You need your own home." Her mom hugged her.
"Oh, thank you so much." She said, hugging them and running off to see her new home.
Moori hugged his wife and looked at her.
"Do you regret taking her in?" he asked her.
"Not for a single moment." She smiled up at him.
