Keytar and the others arrived back at the cabin, only to be met with a highly different environment than what they left. "Rayne!" Kohlra ran in and saw Rayne stretching like nothing happened, and he seemed more energetic than ever before. "Heya guys! I was visited by a spectre, and now I feel better! I have a new lease on life, and I'm going to train my heart out!" Kohlra laughed, and then stopped him. "You're sure you're okay? You seem different." Rayne chuckled and walked over to the door. "Yeah, I'm completely fine. You guys go on and rest, and I'll go start my training." Suddenly, he left the cabin, leaving the rest of his Clan to rest in the cabin.
Rayne ran and ran into the forest, and he kept running until he hit a waterfall. He stopped himself before he fell, and he stared down the waterfall, it seeming to go on for ages. He looked back up, and stared out into the distance, a longing feeling driven into his heart. He then sat down and took a deep breath.
Keytar sat next to Vanilla and Frostbyte while they relaxed on the ground, Kohlra preparing a meal for the group. A little bit of silence droned over the cabin before Keytar spoke up. "You do know that since Rayne is up and well again, we're useless now, right?" Kohlra stopped what she was doing, and looked back at Keytar, before turning back to the food and continuing to cook. "Well, I wouldn't exactly say that. If we all train extremely hard, we'll be competent." Keytar chuckled and stood, walking over to Kohlra. "Why lie to yourself? It's hopeless to deny it." Kohlra took a deep breath and looked over to him, speaking quietly. "Listen, don't you think I know that? I'm just trying to keep optimism up for us all, because there's no use in being down all the time." Keytar sighed and shook his head, walking back over to Vanilla and Frostbyte.
Rayne was doing some form of yoga on the top of the waterfall, training to relax his emotions and control them more consistently. He had been going for a few hours, before he was visited by someone. Goku had appeared behind him, and called out to him. "Hey, Rayne. I have to talk with you about something." Rayne turned around and stared at Goku. "What is it Goku? I didn't expect you to come find me like this." Goku chuckled and walked a little more towards him. "Well, I didn't expect to be here either, but I realised something. I don't exactly know who we're fighting. Could you fill me in?"
Everyone sat down at the table, each having the food Kohlra cooked for them. Except Keytar. He had a bottle of water. "Alright everyone, today was a good day, and tomorrow will be better. So, with that said, does anyone have any words?" Vanilla timidly raised her hand, and looked down. "Yes dear? What's on your mind?" Vanilla rubbed her arm, and continued looking away as she responded. "Well, I was wondering, why can't I do any cool stuff like you guys can? I mean, you have the blonde hair that you can change into, Keytar is a very good leader, Frost is funny, and father is really really strong. Why can't I do anything like that?" Kohlra looked away for a moment, racking her brain trying to find an answer.
Before she was able to, though, Frostbyte spoke up. "What do you mean, Vanilla?" She perked her head up and looked at him, while Kohlra did the same. "I might be funny, Key-bro over there might be a good leader, ma over there might be able to change her hair colour, and dad might be really strong, but none of that would matter if you weren't here!" Vanilla looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" Frostbyte chuckled and turned towards her a little more. "I mean, yeah we all have our noticeable characteristics, but yours is better than all of ours. You're a docile and loving person, and none of us can compete with that! You keep the love here! You know, when you're able to." Vanilla smiled shyly and looked down, turning back towards the table. "I guess that's alright, thanks Frost." Frostbyte laughed and sighed happily. "No problem, sis. Gotta call it how I sees it."
The conversation was just finishing up as they entered a cave underneath the waterfall. "Wow. So, we're fighting a galactic emperor?" The air stayed silent for a moment, before Goku began laughing. "Ah, don't worry, buddy. We've fought a galactic emperor before, we can do it again!" Rayne sighed and rubbed his head. "No, Goku, you don't understand. This guy is not like Frieza. He is way more powerful than either one of us could imagine. There's a planet named Fuschoria were the Inhabitants are god-like, and he walked in and conquered the planet, without breaking a sweat even!" Goku's smile faded slightly, and he looked at Rayne intensely. "Well, you're serious about this, aren't you?" Rayne took a deep breath and looked out of the opening in the cave.
"I wouldn't have come back to Earth if I wasn't. I vowed to myself to stay away, and only return for dire emergencies." He then turned around and looked back at Goku with an entirely serious face. "This is that emergency. He threatens the integrity of our universe." Goku took a deep breath, and then nodded. "I know of a place where we can train effectively. We can get an entire year in one day." Rayne smiled at Goku and responded confidently. "Well, lead the way buddy."
