Hey guys, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm abandoning some other stories, it's just that I'd like to make as much of the stories I'm focusing on as I can since it's a bit easier for me to develop those rather than others

I know some of you really like the ones not being updated as much, but perhaps read some of the more frequently updated ones in the meantime?

And I'm sorry if this chapter feels a bit rushed, it's not my intention to do that, but we all know I'm messing with the plot to a point I'll be making some stuff up as I go for filler

Before she knew it Ryuko had already arrived at Kame House, only to find Krillin embedded in the side of the house and Goku grabbing her stomach. "Karotta! Krillin!.. Wait a minute... Karotta, where's your daughter?" Goku looks up at her with a heart broken look, already telling Ryuko what she needed to hear. She picks Goku back up and goes over to help Krillin as well. "I'm going to get her back from Raditz, ok Karotta? I'll be back soon."

She then turns in the direction that Raditz had left, and takes off at an extremely fast pace, being gone from sight in only a few seconds. At this moment in time Ryuko didn't care about hiding her power, she was pissed someone had dared to kidnap her friend's daughter. In less than a minute she could already see Raditz's pod and the crater it had left, and the Saiyan in question was looking up with a terrified look on her face. Ryuko immediately dashes towards the ground, causing a cloud of smoke to erupt when she had landed.

Once she stands back up and walks through the cloud, she crosses her arms and glares at Raditz. "You're not making a very good impression on your niece, now give her back before I break your legs Raditz." Raditz could only stare in shock, it was like looking at a ghost, but ghosts didn't put out this much energy. "I-impossible, Frieza told us all you met your end going on a planet raid!" Ryuko shakes her head as her tail flicks around angrily at the mention of the space tyrant. "She says a lot of things, but even the Ginyu Force getting a cheap shot on me in my pod can't kill me. This is my home Raditz, you walking in and taking my friend's daughter makes me want to kill you, but I won't."

Raditz stares at Ryuko like she had grown a second head. "W-what? I um.. O-ok, I know I made an awful first impression on Karotta, but she was supposed to rid this planet of life!" Ryuko walks over to Raditz's pod and taps the glass to get Gohan's attention. "I'm aware, and I don't care, had she done that she wouldn't have so much potential Raditz. I believe she can become a Super Saiyan some day." Raditz's jaw drops as she hears this. "M-my sister, a Super Saiyan?"

Ryuko chuckles and opens the pod, picking Gohan back up and patting her back as she hugs her tightly and cries into her shoulder. "It's a legend of a Saiyan rising above the rest, if one of us can do it Raditz, all of us can do it, right? I just need to figure out how to do it. Come on, let's go back to your sister before she comes to us, you don't want that." Raditz nods and quietly follows Ryuko, staring in disbelief at her scouter as they fly back. 'T-this power level is unreal, and I get a distinct feeling that she's holding back most of her power.. This woman scares me more and more every time I see her.'

Once Ryuko and Raditz land back at Kame House everyone had recovered and were ready for a second attack, only to find Raditz cowering in Ryuko's presence, as was everyone else to some extent. While everyone had that reaction, Gohan simply ran back to her mother quickly. "Mommy mommy!" Goku gasps and hugs her daughter tightly, trying to console the crying child. "Sshhhh, it's ok Gohan, it's ok, mommy's here." Ryuko pushes Raditz forward a bit and coughs to get their attention. "Karotta, Raditz has something she'd like to say."

Goku and Gohan both look up at the Saiyan in question, who was nervous and blushing dark red. "K-karotta.. I'm.. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble, and I'm sorry about kidnapping your daughter. I had only wanted you to come join us, but I suppose you've had some good company for the past few years." Goku smiles softly and sighs, standing up and ruffling her daughter's hair. "Because I've been raised by one of the nicest people in the world I will forgive you, but your niece will be scared of you for a while. I'm glad we didn't have to wish anyone back to life with the Dragon Balls though, that's a plus."

Raditz nods and looks down at the ground in even more embarrassment. "I'm a Saiyan warrior, why am I feeling so stupid for doing this?.." Ryuko chuckles and pats her shoulder comfortingly. "That's because it's your family idiot. Now I can't have Frieza finding out I'm alive, and I believe you've got another minute before the scouter transmits the readings it picked up right?" Raditz nods in confusion, looking at Ryuko strangely. "Um.. Yes, that's how they're made, now what are you-"

Ryuko simply plucks the scouter off of Radit'z face and crushes it. "H-hey! What the hell Ryuko?!" Ryuko huffs and crosses her arms. "Oh come on, we both know Frieza can't know I'm still alive, otherwise she'll come to Earth and kill us all. Besides, Vegeta and Nappa will probably be coming if they heard Karotta talking about the Dragon... Wait a minute, Karotta, you mentioned wishing people back to life.." Ryuko and Raditz both turn to stare at Goku while she giggles nervously. "I-I guess I forgot to tell you.. There are seven orbs on this planet called the Dragon Balls, gather them all and speak the password and you can ask Shenron the eternal dragon for anything you could ever want, even immortality."

Ryuko slowly walks over to Goku while everyone backs up a bit in nervousness, suddenly grabbing her by the front of her gi. "Karotta, you mean to tell me there are seven magical orbs on this planet that I could've used to wish for immortality in order to kill Frieza and do the entire universe a favor, AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THEM IN THE TWO YEARS I'VE LIVED HERE?!" She feels a small tug on her leg and looks down to see Gohan looking up at her. "M-miss Ryuko? C-could you put Mommy down please? Mama would be really mad if something bad happened to her."

Ryuko finds all of her anger melting away as she looks at the half Saiyan girl, nodding softly and putting Goku down. "Karotta, do not keep information like that from me again, please." She then kneels down and picks Gohan up, who giggles a bit in excitement. "Now I know you both got off on the wrong foot, but would you like to meet your auntie?" Gohan nods softly and buries her face in Ryuko's breasts as she walks back over to Raditz. "It's ok Gohan, say hello, she won't hurt you."

The little girl cautiously brings her face out of hiding, looking over at Raditz with a shy expression. "She's right, I have no plans to hurt you, I have no reason to." Ryuko pats her head and smiles. "Don't mind her indifference, she's used to fighting, not kids." Raditz was about to open her mouth until Ryuko glared at her. "Shut it, not for a few more years Raditz." The warrior sighs and nods while Gohan looks back and forth between them with a confused look, until she looks up and points. "Miss Ryuko? Who's that green man with things coming out of his head?"

Ryuko's body locks up and she slowly turns her neck to look over her shoulder, spying a green man in a purple gi with a white cape and turban and berating herself for allowing him to sneak up on them. Her eyes widen when she senses the power behind the attack he was charging, and she saw it was aimed at Goku. "Raditz hold Gohan!" She tosses Gohan to Raditz, who catches her in surprise, and quickly runs towards Goku as the blast is fired. "SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!"

All Ryuko could remember was running towards Goku, the next thing she knew her foot was extended as if she had kicked something, and the green man was missing an arm. "W-what the fuck did I just do?" Everyone was staring at her in shock, Goku looking between Ryuko and the newcomer in shock. "W-we don't know Ryuko, one moment you were by Raditz, next I know I'm shoved away and you.. You kicked the beam back at Piccolo."

Ryuko looks down at her foot and notices it's smoking a bit, putting it back on the ground and looking up. "So that's Piccolo? Huh, I thought he'd actually be a demon, he's just a Namekian." Piccolo floats down to the island with a look of anger directed at Ryuko. "What did you just call me?!" Ryuko simply crosses her arms and stares at him. "I called you a Namekian, it's the name of your race. Considering the malice I can feel from you right now I'd say you're the evil half."

Piccolo grits his teeth and clenches his remaining fist in anger. "You seem to be well educated on what I am while I am not, why should I believe a word you say?" Ryuko gestures to his stump with a passive look. "Grow it back then, if you can't then I'm wrong, and I'll kill you. Or you could grow your arm back, accept that I'm speaking the truth, and I'll let you live and give you some advice." The Namekian growls as he glares at Ryuko, but finally relents and forces another arm to grow out of his stump with a yell. "Fine, you win, now what do you have to say to me?"

Ryuko chuckles and raises her power to about five percent of her true strength, getting the point across for everyone to listen. "Your potential is as limitless as you allow it to be, use that to your advantage, and try making your enemies your friends. Take Karotta for example, or as you know her, Goku. Two years ago I crash landed on this planet, a day after I decided to train her, and two years later her power has tripled what it was before."

Raditz looks at her with confusion written all over her face. "What the hell do you mean? I checked my scouter, her power is only a few dozen above the Namekian's!" Ryuko simply sighs and appears behind Raditz, chopping the back of Raditz's neck and sending a jolt through the woman as an odd feeling fills her mind. "There, I grow tired of Saiyans not knowing how to sense ki, that visit to Kanassa payed off in that regard I suppose. Now try reaching out with your senses and feel the power of your sister, feels like a small river being blocked by something right?"

Raditz nods and looks over to Ryuko. "W-why does yours feel like this island compared to the sea surrounding it then?" The former elite chuckles mischievously and points her hand out to the ocean, gathering energy in her hand. "Spirit Blast." With those two words a bright white beam shoots out across the sea, causing a massive trench in the surface of the water. Everyone stares at Ryuko in shock, in her two full years of living on Earth she hadn't fired a single beam of energy.

"That's because I don't want even a single scouter picking up my energy until I'm trying to kill Frieza, but rest assured I've only gotten stronger since crashing here." Raditz nods and stares at the sea, which was still flooding back into the trench Ryuko had made. "W-well, Vegeta and Nappa will be here one year from now, perhaps your friends should train further so that they won't die should those two decide they want to fight." Ryuko smiles and gives Raditz a pat on the shoulder. "That's a great idea actually, though I'll be taking you and Karotta, as for Gohan.. Piccolo, you'll be training Gohan."

Goku and Piccolo both stare at her like she was insane, speaking in sync. "HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?!" Raditz looks at Piccolo and Gohan, nodding in understanding. "It's actually quite smart. Not only does it settle your differences, it will help your daughter with her shyness problem. Can't be a good fighter if you're too scared to attack after all." Goku and Piccolo were about to retaliate, until an elderly Namekian descends from the sky and lands in between them.

Ryuko elbows Raditz and smirks. "See? Told you, evil half." Raditz sighs and shakes her head and crosses her arms. "You're honestly ridiculous Ryuko, you always get the weirdest things right." "I visited Namek once when Frieza was done sparring, you know she didn't have my travels logged. I learned everything they were willing to tell me." Raditz huffs and crosses her arms. "You lucky bitch, I can't believe you."

Ryuko laughs and Bulma decides to walk over. "So you're Goku's sister huh? I suppose I can see it, you've both got that determination in your eyes. I'm Bulma Briefs, the one that gave Ryuko a home." Ryuko pats her back and smiles brightly. "Don't be so modest Bulma! You taught me how to work in your lab, how to cook, and how to blend into society, you've been nothing but helpful." Raditz looks at Bulma in mild curiosity. "So Earth has people of science as well huh? Interesting, though primitive compared to what Frieza has in his army."

Bulma's eye twitches and she grabs Raditz by the collar, a fiery rage in her eyes. "I'll show you primitive when I rip off your tail and use it as a scarf you little shit!" Raditz goes a few shades paler as Bulma yells at her, and while this happens Ryuko walks over to Gohan, kneeling down and kissing her cheek. "Whatever happens during your training with Piccolo, know that we all have faith in you, ok sweetie? You're much stronger than you think you are, even now."

Gohan hugs her tightly and looks up at her in determination. "I'll come back stronger than ever, and I'll keep getting stronger until I can even beat you Miss Ryuko." Ryuko smiles and ruffles her hair, making the girl giggle. "I know sweetie, you're gonna make me and your parents very proud." Gohan then walks over to Piccolo, who nods ad tosses her up onto his shoulders before taking off into the sky.

Goku and Raditz then walk over to Ryuko, and Goku was smiling brightly. "Kami said he wants us to run Snake Way in Otherworld to get to some guy called King Kai, and that he would train us." Ryuko raises an eyebrow. "Otherworld? Wait a minute how in the hell are we gonna get there?! Don't you have to be dead?!" The elder Namekian, now known as Kami, walks over and chuckles softly. "Well as the Guardian of Earth I get special privilege to go to Otherworld whenever I wish. Grab on and I will take you to the check in station, but that's as far as I take you."

Bulma glares at the Saiyans, before making a decision that would most likely change her life forever. "I'm sick of being told to sit on the sidelines, and I'm sick of being abandoned or being treated like a glass sculpture! I've had it, I'm coming with you all and you're gonna train me, understand?!" Ryuko stares at Bulma for a second, before she starts to chuckle.

Everyone stares at Ryuko as her chuckle graduates into a small laugh, which gets louder and louder until people back away like she's insane. Her power starts to leak out bit by bit, making the ground rumble as Ryuko is surrounded by a white aura around her. She keeps going, ten percent, twenty, and she stops at twenty five. Everyone stares at her in disbelief except for Bulma. "What the hell's going on, why are you staring at her like she's got two heads?"

Ryuko walks over and pats Bulma's shoulder a bit. "I'll teach you all about ki on our journey, let's go Kami." The old Namekian nods and extends an arm, which everyone grabs onto, and soon after they disappear. One second they're at Kame House, the next they find themselves in front of a massive desk looking up at a mountain of a man in a suit. "Kami, these must be the ones you're sending to King Kai." Kami nods and taps each on the shoulder as he says their names. "Ryuko, Raditz, Goku, and Bulma Briefs. Three Saiyans and a human with no knowledge of how to use ki."

Kami then gestures up to the massive man and smiles. "This is King Yemma, he's the one that sends you to Heaven or Hell, though none of you will go to either since you're not dead. No, you will run to the end of Snake Way, which only one has ever done before." Ryuko scans the room and notices the ever so faint smirk on King Yemma's face, gaining a smirk of her own. "Damn, the only one to run Snake Way and you're stuck doing paperwork forever, must suck."

Yemma sighs and plants an elbow on the table, resting his head in his hand. "I've been doing paperwork for millennia and millennia and I will continue to do it for many more to come, it's my job. Run along now, you've got a ways to go before you make it to King Kai, best get started now." Ryuko looks to the others and sighs. "King Yemma, does King Kai know anything that will let me grab them and take them with me? I can make a trip like that very fast, but they're not as fast."

The large man ponders this for a second, before digging through his desk and throwing them an odd device, Ryuko's having a button. "Because I'm in a helpful mood I'll give you these, hit that button and they'll be transported to you." Ryuko bows respectfully and smiles, before she suddenly disappeared. A split second later the air was pulled out the door that led to Snake Way, Yemma's papers nearly flying off the desk had he not caught them, though Goku was the only one able to talk at the moment. "S-she's a lot faster than I could've imagined." Everyone simply nods at the statement, they had no idea such speed existed.

Not even a few minutes later Goku, Bulma, and Raditz all disappeared in a small flash of white light, making Yemma's jaw drop. "N-not possible.. She went through Snake Way in less than five minutes, just how strong is she?!" Meanwhile, there was a very surprised Kai staring at a Saiyan woman in casual wear, one in armor, one in a gi, and a normal human, the latter two having trouble standing. "J-jeez, it feels like my body is made of lead." "You're telling me, I c-can't even move."

Ryuko and Raditz chuckle at their expense, until the short Kai clears his throat. "Um.. Excuse me, why are you all here? My planet isn't exactly a vacation home after all, and you're not even dead." Ryuko walks forward and bows respectfully. "You must be the King Kai that Kami told us about, I'm Ryuko, these are my friends, and we're here to receive training from you." The blue Kai taps his chin in thought, before smiling and putting his hands behind his back. "Very well, your first test.. Is to tell me a joke that will make me laugh."

Everyone stares at the Kai in disbelief, while Ryuko's eyebrow had developed a twitch. "Are you serious? Please tell me you're not serious." King Kai nods and smiles. "I'm very serious! Making me laugh is not an easy task at all I'll have you know." Ryuko's eyebrow twitch had spread to her eye as well, clenching her fist tightly as she tried not to lash out at the short blue idiot. "Why do you think we're even here?" King Kai stares at them with a confident look on his face. "You have here for advice with jokes, it's obvious!"

He then yelled in fright and had to stumble back to avoid getting punched in the head by Ryuko, who's fist impacted the ground and left a rather large crater. "We'll see how many jokes you crack when I really make you talk out your ass you little shit!"
