It was late afternoon by the time that Keysa found Goku. He was outside in a field training by himself. He saw Keysa coming towards him and waved at her. She landed in front of him and he greeted her with a big hug. "You cut your hair!" he noticed and Keysa nodded. "Well… It was Bulma's idea. I wasn't crazy about getting it cut, but it turned out alright," she said, still not willing to admit she liked the haircut.
"Has your memory come back at all?" he asked and Keysa shook her head no. "I hope it comes back soon, though. I feel like such a huge part of me is missing," she explained and decided to change the subject. "How about that fighting you were talking about yesterday? I don't remember fighting or not fighting before I came here, but something about it feels right," she said and Goku got a big grin. "Ok! I'll take it easy on you until I figure out where your skills are," he said and took a fighting stance. Keysa got into what felt like a natural fighting stance as well and smirked. "No need to take it easy, I'm no pushover," she said and Goku laughed.
She waited for him to make the first move and he did. He came at her and she dodged him and kicked his feet out from under him without even thinking, and it felt good. She knew this was something she had done before. Goku fell to his ass and smiled at her. "So you do know what you're doing. I figured you would, your energy level is really high. I knew you had to have quite a bit of training for an energy level like that, but I didn't know if you'd remember how to fight. I'm gonna guess you remember," he said and Keysa raised her eyebrows at the mention of knowing her energy level. "How do you know my energy level by looking at me?" she asked and Goku laughed. "I can sense your energy, it doesn't have anything to do with looking at you. You don't know how to do that?" he asked and Keysa shook her head. "Oh… Well I'll teach you later. Do you wanna meet some of my other friends?" he asked and Keysa sighed. She had come here to fight, not to meet his friends. "But we haven't started fighting! I blocked you once and kicked your feet out from under you, big deal. I want to see what I can do," Keysa grumbled.
"Oh, come on, Keysa. It'll be fun, you'll like my friends. Besides, my friends all train and fight pretty well too. They'd be interested to see what you can do," he said and Keysa sighed. If she was going to fight with Goku, it looked like she was going to have to meet his friends first. "Whatever…" she said and he grinned. "Great!" he exclaimed and called his nimbus cloud again.
The first one of his friends they came to was a short bald guy. He lived on an island in a pink house with an old man and a talking turtle. "KRILLIN!!" Goku yelled into the house and the short guy came out of the house. "Goku? What are you doing here?!" he said excitedly and then noticed Keysa standing there. "Who's your friend?" he asked. Keysa looked at the man, he was a cute like a puppy or a kitten was cute. But nonetheless Keysa thought he was a cute little guy. "This is Keysa, she came from another planet but her space ship crashed and she lost her memory. So I can't really tell you much else about her," Goku said. Krillin gave her a big grin and then noticed her tail. "You have a tail?" he asked and Keysa rolled her eyes. What was with people and tails here? "Yes, I have a tail. How observant," she said sarcastically and Krillin's face turned red. "Well… It's just that Goku used to have a tail just like yours…" he said and Keysa raised her eyebrows as she looked at Goku. "Really?" she asked and he nodded. He didn't say anything else on the matter, but he didn't have a tail any longer.
"Anyway… This girl is pretty cool," Goku said changing the subject. "She can fly faster than my nimbus cloud and watch this," Goku said and threw a punch at her. She instinctively caught his fist and glared at him. "What the hell was that for?" she growled and he just smiled back at her. "See how fast she moved there? I bet I can learn a lot from her!" he said to Krillin and Keysa realized why he had tried to punch her. He was showing off to Krillin what she could do. "Whoa…" Krillin said as he took it in. "Not even Goku could fly faster than the nimbus cloud. And now that Goku said that… Your power is huge! It might even be bigger than Goku's. Crazy," Krillin said.
"Well, lucky for you, Master Roshi isn't on the island right now," Krillin said as he looked at her. "Although he'll be sad he missed you, that's for sure," he finished. Both Goku and Krillin laughed, but Keysa didn't get what was so funny. "Don't worry about it, you'll understand when you meet him," Krillin said. Keysa just shrugged her shoulders, she didn't really care to meet whoever the guy was anyway. "Have you met Tien and Chiaotzu yet? I bet he'd love to see how fast she can fly, considering that he's the one that taught us to fly," Krillin said.
"No, she hasn't met them yet. We were going to see them next, do you want to come with us?" Goku asked. Krillin laughed and shook his head no. "Your nimbus cloud doesn't like me, and I know I couldn't even begin to keep up with you," he said. "I could carry you… Jump on to my back," she offered. Krillin raised his eyebrows, obviously not sure about the idea of her carrying him. "I don't bite, it's ok, really," she said. After some hesitation he finally jumped onto her back. "Alright Goku, you lead the way," Keysa said and Goku jumped onto his nimbus cloud.
They went off and Keysa followed Goku all the way. Krillin held on to Keysa as tight as he could and when they landed he immediately jumped to the ground. "You weren't joking when you said she was fast, Goku," he said. Keysa looked around, she didn't see anybody. "Over here guys," Goku said and her and Krillin followed them.
When Goku stopped in front of her she almost ran into him. She looked over his shoulder and saw a bald man who appeared to be meditating and a little person with pasty white skin and bright red cheeks. "Tien!" Goku yelled and the man jumped up in surprise. He opened his eyes and Keysa noticed that he had three eyes. The man looked surprised to see Gou and started walking towards them. "Oh, hi guys. What brings you guys out here? I haven't seen you all in awhile…" he said and then noticed Keysa. "Who are you?" he asked.
"The name's Keysa," she answered. "And who might you be?" she asked and his face reddened a little. "Oh… Uh, my name is Tien. How do you know Goku?" he asked and Goku filled him in on everything that had happened. "That's crazy. And you can't remember anything?" he asked. Keysa shook her head no. "But you remember how to fly and fight?" he asked, intrigued with her situation. "I don't remember exactly, it's just instinct," she said.
"That's pretty interesting, have you fought with Goku yet?" he asked and Keysa sighed. "Not really. We started, but he got distracted and insisted I meet you all first," she said. Goku laughed, as she was seeing was something he did a lot. He was such a happy person, it seemed a little odd to her. "I forgot about that. Let's do it right here, I'm sure Tien and Krillin would get a kick out of seeing this," he said. Finally, she thought to herself. She took a fighting stance and so did he.
He made the first move and dashed towards her, though he wasn't moving that fast. She jumped up and flipped over him, easily dodging him. He spun around and threw a punch at her and she caught it, but the punch was harder than she had thought it would be. Maybe this guy was stronger than she thought. She gripped his fist and grabbed onto his other fist and threw him behind her. He rebounded with a back handspring and landed on his feet. He definitely knew more that she had thought. She got a smirk on her face, "Don't hold back on me. You're better than I thought you would be, so come at me with everything, got it?" she demanded. He grinned back at her and nodded.
The two fought for a long while, they were both tired by the end. They were almost equal in strength, but Keysa had a definite upper edge with her speed and quickness. She could tell there was something special about this guy, though. He had a fire in his eyes, a desire to be strong. Yet he was so nice and gentle at the same time. Those things didn't go together in her mind, but it was working for him.
"Watching you two fight is amazing. You both move with so much speed and strength. I've never seen anything like it before," Tien said. Keysa caught his gaze and his face reddened a little, which she thought was cute. She looked back at Goku, "So what about that whole being able to sense somebody's energy thing? You should teach me how to do that," she said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you don't know how to do that. Hmm… How do you teach that to somebody? Hey Tien, how would we teach that to her?" Goku asked and turned to Tien. Tien looked at Keysa and then back to Goku. "Uh… Well, let me think about it…" he said and looked thoughtful. "Keysa, you should just relax. Sit down and close your eyes, let your body and your mind relax. And Goku, you raise your power as high as you can," he instructed. Keysa sat on the ground and closed her eyes, but her eyes opened again when she heard Tien instruct Goku to raise his power. "You can control how high your power is too?" she asked. She was pretty sure she didn't know how to do that either, but now that she knew about it she'd have to learn how to do that too.
"You don't know how to do that either? Oh... Well, I guess you'll have to learn how to do that too. Anyway, close your eyes and relax. Take in a deep breath and try to focus in on finding Goku's energy," he said. Try to focus in on his energy? If she knew how to focus in on that she wouldn't be having to learn how to do this, she thought to herself. She tried anyway. "Are you feeling anything?" he asked and she grunted. "No," she said impatiently. "Oh… Well… Let me try to word this differently," he started. He tried to explain it to her in many different ways, but none of them seemed to work. She decided she'd just try to figure it all out on her own. After an hour or two of sitting on the ground, she closed her eyes once more and focused in on finding Goku's energy. This time was different that the other times she tried, because she felt something. She focused on that feeling, and it became stronger. The she realized that she could sense three lesser things, which she knew must be Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin. She smirked and opened her eyes, "I found all of your energies."
"Awesome! Good job Keysa," Goku said happily. "You learned that quick. But I should probably get going home… Chi Chi is probably already wondering where I am. We'll teach you to lower your power level later, ok? Come on Krillin, I'll take you back to Master Roshi's," Goku said and the two of them left. Keysa turned to Tien and smiled at him. "Thanks for helping me learn that," she said and his face reddened again. "Well I'm pretty sure I didn't really help you much… You figured it out on your own, didn't you?" he asked and she laughed a little. "Yes. But I appreciate the effort," she said and smiled at him. The people she had met so far on this planet were nice. She wondered if the people from where she came from were nice.
"Well… Now that you know how to sense somebody's energy, you can find me whenever you feel like it. Feel free to come and find me to do some training with," Tien said and Keysa nodded. "That sounds like a good idea," she said with a grin. "I should be going, I'm tired and not fully recovered from my crash landing yet. But I'll take you up on that offer, I'll come find you sometime soon so we can do some training," she said and took off. Tien and Chiaotzu were left there watching her zoom off, and Tien had a smile on his face. "You liked her, didn't you Tien?" Chiaotzu asked and Tien's face reddened slightly. "She's a good fighter…" Tien said and Chiaotzu nodded in agreement. "Yes, she is. But that's not the only reason you like her, is it?" Chiaotzu prodded, causing Tien's face to turn an even darker shade of red. "Chiaotzu, stop it!" he said and Chiaotzu laughed at his friend's discomfort.
Keysa landed back at Bulma's place and walked in. She went into the kitchen and saw that some food had been left for her. She looked over at the clock, she had been out training with the guys a long time. Keysa took a plate full of food and ate by herself in the kitchen. Once she was finished eating she went and took a shower, then went to her room.
She laid down on the bed, and even though she was tired she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was reeling. She thought about the new ability she had learned today and focused in on finding her new friends' energies. Goku's was the easiest to find, though she could identify Tien, Chiaotzu and Krillin's as well. She thought about her new haircut and clothes, which she'd have to go pick up from the tailor tomorrow, and how generous Bulma had been in buying all those for her. These people had taken her in as a friend without knowing anything about her, she was thankful for that. She probably would have died if it hadn't been for their generosity. The thing was, she didn't think that she would have been so generous… But she didn't know for sure. It still bugged her that she couldn't remember anything about herself, it was like a big part of her was just missing. She tried to remember something, anything, from her past but she couldn't recall anything. She finally fell asleep, trying to figure out even the slightest detail of who she was.
When Keysa woke up in the morning she was still tired. She hadn't slept well, she tossed and turned with dreams all night. There were people in her dreams that she couldn't remember or place. She wondered if they were from her past, but they didn't seem familiar at all. There was a pink lizard like being that she knew was a monster. Then there was a guy with long spiky hair and a tall, bulky bald man. There was one other guy in her dreams, he wasn't very tall but he was muscular and very well built. He had spiky hair that stood straight up and she found him very attractive. She figured they must be people she had known before, but she couldn't figure out any relationship she had to them.
The next few days went by in a blur, Keysa seemed to be in a fog because she wasn't sleeping well and wasn't able to focus on anything. She got the clothes from the tailor that now fit her, and she decided she needed to get a job so that she could make some money and get out of Bulma's house. She also knew she needed to get some new clothes for training. She just had the one spandex dress she came to the planet in, Bulma hadn't bought her any clothes to train in while they were out shopping. She was growing restless on this planet, but she didn't have many options but to accept this life. Until her ship was fixed, and that was only if Bulma could figure out how to fix it, she was stuck on this planet and would have to make the best of this new life.
As days turned into weeks, Keysa began to feel a little more at home on Earth. Her friends, especially Goku and Tien, had helped her adjust. Goku was always up for training with her, and she was amazed at the rate at which his abilities improved. She would train with Tien too, even though his fighting abilities were much below hers, he had a lot of insights to fighting. He thought through everything, he had a very smart fighting style. He seemed to enjoy spending time with her too. She still hadn't been able to remember anything from her past, and she started to grow used to the idea that she might never remember. She would just have to build a new life here with her new friends and learn to live like an Earthling.
