BOOK 6:

"Tch, Tch! You little!" Vegeta bellows as he pushes Joku out of bounds with his ki alone.

"Agk!" J-17 shouts in pain as he lands.

Krillin scratches his head. "See, what I tell ya? We're way out of anyone's league."

"That's not the point." Piccolo says. "The fact that he was able to confuse Vegeta was interesting in the least, let alone hit him."

Goku nods in agreement.

"Did you guys feel something?" Gohan asks.

"No, I didn't, I was too focused on the fight." Goku says.

"That was the first spike of energy I've felt from them since they got here." Gohan says, with curiosity flooding his mind.

Sapphire and the others go and check on J-17.

"Normally, I would bash you for losing to an enemy in less than 5 minutes," Riba says as she puts another stich into J-17's arm, "But since it is the Sayian Prince, I'll give you a break this time, I guess."

"Unless, you two are lovey dovely, two birds in a tree!" Sapphire squeals.

Riba punches Sapphire in her jaw.

"We are not a thing, ok?"

"Ok, sure, but anyway, I gathered some staggering news from King Kai while I was in Otherworld."

"What is it?" Riba questions?

"Frieza is dead, and there is something on Earth amassing energy since our absence."

"Frieza is dead? Is Beerus dead as well?"

"You know as well as I do Beerus isn't dying anytime soon. It's just the fact that they both died in the span of 60 years."

"The same amount of time you all have been away, hasn't it?!" J-17 says.

"Unforetunately. Which means these deaths happened during our absence, and definitely didn't happen overnight."

"So, let me guess, you think those Sayians killed Frieza."

"It's a likely possibility. Frieza was a huge tyrant that enslaved thousands of races, including the Sayians. They are extinct now, which means they are probably the only ones left. The enslavement and genocide of their race is more than enough reason to murder Frieza."

"As far as a stretch that is, the only problem we face now is the energy. All planet amass energy via gravity."

"But Earth is doing it at an exponential rate. But Earth is a rocky planet, and has a large core so it is above average. It may be nothing more than what is normal for this planet."

At the corner of her eye, Sapphire sees two contestants: Shin and Kibito. She smiles softly towards them, and Shin smiles back.

"May I speak to her for a moment?" Kibito asks for Sapphire.

"Um, sure. Take as much time as you like."

They go outside of the level they're on. (3rd) Sapphire sits on the railing as a bird lands on her shoulder. She strokes its stomach.

"So, the stories of you are true. The personification of Earth herself."

"And the stories of you are true as well, Supreme Kai."

"Oh, you knew of my existence. Kynost was right to tell me to visit you."

"Kynost told you to visit me? For what circumstances?"

"That is exactly why I've come here. For that exact fact."

Piccolo is listening in, and with every detail his face gets sticken with worry.
