Sorry it's been awhile. I guess I'm not very consistent in my writing. -_-

Enjoy! :)

"Begin!"

All four boys felt themselves suddenly getting extremely heavy. They all fell to the floor. Hikari walked up to them and kicked all of them into the nearest wall. "What's wrong boys?" All four of them push their heads up with all of their might to see Hikari smirking. She walked up to Natsu. "I thought you said this would be easy." Hikari was taunting them to no end. Natsu forced his body to stand up but he ultimately failed and fell back down on his hands and knees. Hikari started walking away from the boys.

"What is going on?" Natsu questioned as he noticed the others were having a similar problem. Hikari stopped walking and turned around and saw them struggling to just stand.

"Simple. I changed the gravity." The boys eyes widened. "The gravity is currently 10 times the gravity you are use to." Hikari flashed a grin. "On my old planet, this was our normal gravity. I'm already use to this." Hikari walked over to the kitchen as the boys continued to struggle.

"This is impossible." Ichigo grunted as he still struggled to get up. Luffy then had an imaginary light bulb go off. Luffy started to crawl around and make baby noises while the others looked at him as if he was an idiot...which he was. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

"Well I thought that we should crawl to get to use to the gravity, like babies!" Naruto and Natsu started yelling at Luffy and called him an idiot. All three of them started arguing while lying on the cold hard ground.

"Wait!" All three turned their attention towards Ichigo. "Luffy might be on to something." Luffy flash a big smile as Ichigo continued. "We need to start off small and work our way up." The four boys worked together to create a training routine starting with push ups going to lunges.

"Bet I can do the push ups faster than you guys." Natsu shouted as he started struggling with his first push up. Before they knew it, it was a competition. Hikari was sitting in a stool eating an apple when she over heard their conversation. She couldn't help but smile at their competitive nature. 'They might be able to finish the training after all.' Hikari thought as she grabbed the newest edition of Eglion Life. She flipped through magazine in boredom. She had no interest in any of the latest fashion or gossip. She only read the magazine to get any important news. She continued flipping through the pages till an article caught her interest. "Hikari Ōtsutsuki: A Real Hero?" Hikari scanned through the article. It simply criticized Hikari and the Legion and posed them as terrorists. Many people who were in journalism, politics, and law considered Hikari as a "menace" to the universe's "well-built" structure and society. Hikari sighed in slight exhaustion. These people never seem to rest when it came to making propaganda to make her look threatening. It was simply disgruntling. She was not a threat to anybody. Hikari proceeded to throw the magazine into the waste bin.

"Hikari-sensei!" Hikari turned her head. Was that Naruto she heard? He sounds like he is in distress. Is he hurt? Hikari was a bit panicked. Why? It was just Naruto... Could it be that she is overly concerned about him because he is Asura's reincarnation? Hikari rushed to the area where she left the boys only to see that they were not there.

"Uzumaki?" Hikari looked around. "Where are you guys?" Before Hikari knew it, Ichigo swag his sword downwards. Hikari jumped back only to met Naruto's foot. Hikari was able to catch Naruto's foot and threw him across the room. Hikari stood in shock. All four boys were stand, they were slightly wobbly but still standing.

"You said we shouldn't underestimate the training." Hikari looked at Natsu who was mocking her from before. "Well you shouldn't underestimate us!" Hikari surprise was replaced with understanding. Hikari smiled.

"Forgive me for underestimating you." Hikari got into a fighting stance. "It won't do it again." All four boys attacked Hikari, one attack following the other. Hikari had been caught of guard multiple times. "It looks like you've overcome your gravity problem." All of the boys gave Hikari a cocky smile. Hikari reached into her pant pocket and took out a remote. "Let's see if you guys can do it again." Hikari pressed a button on the remote and the gravity went from 10 times to 20 times. Hikari watched as the boys struggle to adjust to the new gravity. Hikari remembered when she went through the training herself. She had heard that a Saiyan like herself had used this training to become stronger. Hikari had never met this other Saiyan but she knew he was super Saiyan. Hikari was amazed when she heard that another Saiyan was able to receive the same ability that she had received 1000 years ago. Back then, the ability did not exist, never the less heard of. She was the one who discovered it. What most people don't know is that it was a gift not a talent. Hikari smiled as the boys were already on their feet. Hikari got into a fighting stance and prepared for another barrage of attacks. After fighting in 20 times gravity, Hikari stopped the boys. "I am going to do something." Hikari got out the remote. "I want you to face each other in 30 times gravity." The gravity changed and Hikari walked over to the kitchen.

"What do you think she is doing?" Ichigo asked as his sword clashed with Naruto's kunai. Natsu flaming fist came out of nowhere and almost hit Luffy. Luffy jumps back and punches Natsu in the face.

"I don't know." Natsu replied as he rubbed his nose. "Maybe she is planning a surprise attack." Ichigo chuckled lightly as he swug his sword at Naruto.

"Possibly." The boys continued to fight each other until they were completely worn out. Hikari walked towards them.

"If you guys are done beating each other to a pulp," Hikari put her hands behind her back. "I made you some dinner." The boys followed Hikari to the kitchen to find a huge feast with all of their favorite foods. The boys dug in. While eating, they noticed Hikari had a strange appetite. She ate almost everything on the table, in a somewhat barbaric way, and fought Luffy over some meat. The boys sweat dropped as Hikari kicked Luffy across the room and ate the meat in a prideful manner. The days followed and at the end of the first week the boys were able to walk around in 50 times gravity. The boys were breathing heavily. "I am very impressed you guys." They all looked at Hikari who was sweating. "You guys are officially half way through the training." With that, they continued to work towards 100 times gravity.


Maki and the other lieutenants had arrived in Kalia, a planet in the northern part of the universe. Kalia was not only trading area but also a tourist sight. Many from around the universe came to this planet to visit it's beaches and museums. Kalia has the biggest collection of universe's treasures including the infamous Union jewel. Near the beginning of time, there was constant war between two large groups of warriors on how the planet should be ruled. One day, the leaders of both groups had fallen into the same cave. While stuck together with no weapons or armor, they had found the jewel. Both reached for the jewel at the same time and, like magic, the hate for one another was gone. The two groups unified into one and the constant war had come to a end. Maki was reading a book on Kalia history and only sighed. She was looking for some information on past disasters. Maki concluded that the answer was not going to be found in the past, rather, the present.

"This place is so beautiful!" Orihime commented as she looked at the horizon. Hinata shyly nodded in agreement.

"But it's so boring!" Hinata and Orihime turn their attention towards Nami who was sitting in a chair with her feet on the table. "I thought this was a mission." Nami yawned. Lucy was sitting next to Maki who's head was in a book. Lucy drank her milkshake as she watched Maki read the book. Out of curiosity, Lucy slowly moved her head to see what Maki was reading. Maki shut the book hard. Lucy squeaked in surprise and scared Nami out of her seat. "What was that all about?" Lucy apologized to Nami.

"This book is useless." Maki concluded. "Let's try looking for clues around the area. Nami and Orihime, I need you two to look around the central market. Lucy and Hinata, I need you two to check around the beach area. I will try to find some more information at the library. We will meet here in about an hour." The girls set off in their different paths. Nami and Orihime walked aimlessly around the central market. Orihime was fascinated by the aliens she was seeing. The aliens ranged from Phytheas, which were purple skinned aliens with two small horns who tend to be very compassionate, to Crylids, which were red skinned aliens with reptilian scales and had a had a bit of an unlikable personality. Orihime was so distracted by the colors that she accidentally bumped into a stranger in a black cloak. The stranger dropped a bunch of papers.

"Oh I am so sorry!" Orihime apologized to the stranger. The stranger brushed her off, picked up all of his things, and carried on. Nami couldn't help but grunt.

"So much for having manners." Orihime looked back down to the ground and saw that the stranger left a compass of some kind on the ground. Orihime immediately picked up the foreign object.

"Oh no. He forgot his compass." Nami took the object from her hands and examined it. The compass was different from anything she has ever seen, and she was a navigator. The strangest thing about the compass was that it didn't seem to be pointing north. 'Maybe coordinates are different here' Nami thought.

"Well there is no way we can give it to him now." Nami put the object in her pocket and continued to walk around the market place with Orihime following.

Lucy and Hinata were walking the beaches looking for clues. There were many people present at the beach. There was nothing suspicious about the place at all. They both started to leave when they heard a woman shouting.

"Get your charms here! Guaranteed to get rid of any unluckiness the disasters might bring! Only 100 Unions!" This caught the girls' attention as they started walking towards the stand. "Hello young ladies. Would you like to buy a charm?" The woman looked about 70 years old with wrinkles that covered her blue skin.

"No thank you." Lucy declined politely. "We actually wanted to know about the disasters that have been occurring lately." The old lady smiled in a sinister manner. Almost as if she had been anticipating that question.

"Why these storms have been constant. They have brought misery to homes and washed away businesses. You girls should be careful." Lucy was about to go more in depth on the subject when she heard a crash. She and Hinata looked behind them to see a young alien, maybe in his 20s, rubbed the back of his head in awkwardness while a woman, supposably his mother, yelled at him for "dropping the merchandise". Lucy and Hinata turned back around only to see that the stand had disappeared.

"W-WHAT?!" Lucy shouted in shock. Hinata was also very shocked seeing as the stand had been there only moments ago. Hinata activated her byakugan to see if she could find the old lady but there was no trace of her. "Oh well." Lucy sighed as Hinata deactivated her eyes. "Looks like we are going to have to look somewhere else for clues."

Maki was busy scrambling her brains for answers. These disasters randomly appeared about two weeks ago and had been consistent. The only problem is the why. Why did they start occurring? None of these books are helping her.

"Looking for something?" Maki jumped out of her seat and fell on the floor. She looked up to see a woman who was maybe in her 40s with gray skin and a tail that looked very similar to a lion's tail. "Are you alright?" The female offered a hand which Maki accepted. "Didn't mean to scare you like that." Maki proceeded to dust herself off.

"No problem. I should have been more aware of my surroundings." Maki said with a sheepish smile.

"I see you are doing research on the recent disasters. I might be able to help. I am a journalist for the local news so I have done some research myself." The female led Maki into a cafe where they sat down. The female ordered a Milky Summer beer, which in human terms is a milkshake that tastes like beer. Maki ordered a glass of water. "My name is Lycid by the way."

"Maki." Maki responded as she reached for her drink. "What can you tell me about the disasters?" Lycid drank some of her beer before responding.

"Well you have good instincts if you are suspicious. I, myself, find it very strange since the condition of our atmosphere is in perfectly heathy condition. I have a theory though." Lycid leaned in. Maki also leaned in out of instinct. "Do you know about the Union Jewel?" Lycid asked in a hushed tone. Maki nodded as she had read all about it in her book. "Well I think thats the main purpose of the disasters." Maki was surprised. "Think about it. The Union Jewel is a big deal around here and ever since these disasters have been around its like everyone has forgotten about it. It's a distraction." Maki's eyes widened. It makes perfect sense. Maki jolted out of her seat.

"Thank you Lycid-san." Maki bowed slightly. "You've helped me a lot." With that Maki left the cafe to met up with the others. Lycid payed the bill and walked out of the cafe. She started walking down an alley way until she saw a black cloaked figure in her way.

"Excuse me. I need to get to the other side." The cloaked figure flashed a devilish smirk before he stabbed her in the chest. "Wha-" Lycid was speechless.

"Sorry sweetheart but you were to close to my plan and I can't have you walking around anymore." Lycid dropped to the floor and a pool of blood started to form underneath her. The cloak figure put his knife away and started walking away from the murder scene. "Now. Time to get that compass back."


Cliffy! Review if you can! Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! :)
