Calina's body had begun to change slightly. She wasn't sure if it was due to the fact that she had actually begun to mature or if it was because she had been training. Infact, she had somewhat ignored the fact that she was growing. Calina wasn't extremely found of change.
The small group of fighters had been called to the Brief's home. Amongst her time here, Calina was fortunate enough to witness the revival of some of Gohan's friends. All thanks to the miraculous Dragon Balls. Calina hadn't seen Gohan yet today, and was curious as to where he was. Her company when traveling to Bulma's was the namekian, Piccollo. However quiet he was, Piccollo always seemed to talk to her in actions. Whether it was a small smirk or the occasional nod, Calina knew he cared in his own way.
For now everyone was focused on the arrival of Prince Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince had taken one of Bulma's prototype ships and left Earth's atmosphere. All in the name of power, Vegeta wanted to exceed Goku at any cost. Calina understood, time after time she had pushed herself while training, always searching for that next surge, that next level. The humans around her quietly mocked Vegeta, making him appear power hungry. It was simply in a Saiyans nature to want to become more powerful.
Sitting outside on a large extended balcony, Calina overheard the human whom she had come to know as Yamcha, talking about Prince Vegeta. He seemed to be snickering and his tone reeked of condescending jealousy.
Calina was quiet, she sat at a small table and quietly ate a small meal that Bulma's mother had been nice enough to provide. Yamcha continued to speak and Calina's tail unraveled from her waist and began to flicker. Krillin joined in for just a moment before stating how he wished he had the drive Vegeta had.
" Saiyans aren't like humans.. We don't just want to become stronger, we don't simply decide to dedicate our lives to martial arts or techniques like you humans.. We Have to become stronger. If we don't, if we somehow are unable to reach that next level, we loose our purpose.. Its as if we loose a piece of ourselves.. I wouldn't expect a sniveling excuse of a warrior, like yourself, to understand that.." Calina's tone wasn't rude, and it lacked hatred. Her rant seemed to come from her gut, and didn't have the intension to upset. This made Yamcha even more upset.
After her small rant, Calina listened as Tien and Krillin both laughed. Apparently Yamcha wasn't used to being put in his place. Calina quietly finished her meal and excused herself from the group of Z warriors. Leaving the balcony, Calina made her way into an empty common area. Bulma's father was there relaxing, and like always, talking to himself.
" Calina! Fantastic, just the woman I wanted to see.. Now you know that I've been working on my new prototype gravity room, and within the next few days it will be finished. I'd prefer it if you try it out before Vegeta does. That man has a habit of breaking things.." The Dr. sat casually on a comfy, crème colored couch. A small cat sat comfortably on his lap. Calina smiled politely and nodded. " Of course, I'd be more than happy to assist you in any way professor." Calina felt a small surge of happiness swell within her. It was nice to be so familiar with some of the humans of this planet. Not even a few moments after, Calina felt Gohan's Chi. Looking behind her she watched as he gracefully landed on the balcony.
Gohan's gorgeous raven black hair had grown out since their first meeting on Namek. It was no longer short, and had begun to stretch down past his jaw line. Calina quickly rushed out to the balcony. The group of men was now accompanied by the human woman, Bulma. Bulma picked at Yamcha, she had begun to mock him. She mentioned something about how he didn't work out or train like he used to. She then mentioned that she saw him with another female human. Calina stopped listening as her voice became louder and louder. She was becoming furious.
Gohan nudged her with his elbow, Calina swayed playfully for a moment before stepping back over to him. Calina's wide smile was contagious, and soon after meeting eyes with her, Gohan began to smile also.
" Geez, look at you two! " Krillin spoke up in a commanding tone. Calina and Gohan both snapped from their daze to look at him. Krillin began to laugh.
Calina had noticed that she was now taller than Gohan, it wasn't by much, but she was a few inches taller than him. In a small way, this bothered her. Gohan's facial expression changed for a moment. Calina could feel the same energy Gohan had just picked up. Prince Vegeta was heading straight for them.
When the prince arrived he barely said a word to everyone. The person he was most interested in was Bulma.
" Woman! " Vegeta bellowed from the bottom of his stomach, matching eyes with the human woman. " I demand that you bring me fresh cloths and food! " Vegeta looked to be in rough shape. His cloths were in shreds and he smelled like blood and sweat.
" How was your trip Prince Vegeta? " Calina spoke in a light tone. Vegeta turned and met eyes with her for a brief moment.
" Hmph.. lets just say I've reached a new level of perfection! " Vegeta spoke with a large smirk as Calina became quiet. She was thrilled that the prince was finally looking a little more pleased about things.
" Like, what? There is no way you could turn into a super Saiyan like Goku." Yamcha spit out a low comment and Calina and Vegeta both shot him poisonous glares. The human quickly shut up and shut down.
" Excuse me, stinky? You need a shower before I help you with anything!.. And you will ask nicely when you need something? Got IT!?" Bulma's hard attitude and demanding tone caught Prince Vegeta's attention, and Calina watched as he obliged her orders. Bulma lead him out of the balcony and to a spare bedroom off in the hall.
A small amount of time passed until the prince emerged from the bathroom. Bulma had dressed him in some sort of atrocious, female clothing? Calina wasn't sure if it was fashionable or why he was wearing what he was wearing. Gohan was sitting next to Krillin and the two were talking about Master Roshi. A perverted old hermit, who had taken the time to try to teach Calina the Chi wave known as the, Kamehameha Wave. He was very nice, and even offered to help her change out of her damaged cloths after they were done training.
She had been on Earth around a year and in this time she had grown. She had been fortunate enough to have various training partners, and her techniques had grown with her experience. Calina was standing, arms crossed. Smiling as she watched the various fighters infront of her squabble. Without notice the hair on the back of her neck began to rise. With a deep breath, she felt her senses begin to build up. Her body was preparing to go into over drive. For what? She was completely off guard. Her breathing had even begun to become labored and the fighters around her noticed. Gohan was immediately at her side and was asking what was wrong. Calina could feel her body begin to shake.
" It Vegeta too guys! " Krillin's voice was shrill, and he cautiously approached Vegeta. The Saiyan prince seemed to be frozen, his mouth was gaped and his eyes were incredibly wide.
" I don't understand! I…" Yamcha's voice sounded concerned as Calina spoke up..
" Freiza…"
Vegeta was the next one to speak up. " Impossible.. Kakarot.. Killed him.." His voice seemed to trail off. Within seconds Freiza's chi reached the rest of the fighters. Everyone was froze. Bulma was the only one who was complaining that she didn't understand what was going on. Calina was in complete disbelief.
"He'll be here.. In less than ten minutes.." Calina spoke, her body still froze. " This is..really bad.." Calina's voice was extremely low. She was frightened.
As a whole the group decided to leave the city and to wait outside the area where Freiza was supposed to land. Bulma included. The small human woman demanded that she not be left out, and without any more hesitation they left.
Piccollo met them in the air, and with a distasteful tone he couldn't believe that Freiza had gotten off Namek alive. The area that the fighters decided to land on was quite rocky, and they could easily hide if need be.
" We need to hide our energy levels. That means no power ups and no flying.." Piccollo spoke in a serious tone, and everyone understood where he was coming from. No one wanted to attract any unwanted attention. " That means you too woman! You need to keep your trap shut." Vegeta spoke as he turned and met Bulma's eyes. Bulma stuck her tongue out at Vegeta and mocked him
Freiza's spaceship broke through Earth's atmosphere on time, and landed around 400 yards away. The wind picked up around Calina and the group around her. With a subtle release, the ship's gate system relaxed out and revealed a set of stairs. From the ship emerged Freiza and King Cold, Freiza's father.
Calina felt her skin crawl. If there was one creature that Calina hated more than anything in the universe, it was Freiza. Yamcha, Piccollo, Krillin, Bulma, Vegeta and Gohan all were huddled behind different rocks. Everyone's breathing stopped as Freiza stepped off his ship and onto Earth.
" Where is Goku.." Krillin's voice was low, but you could still hear the anxiety in his tone.
" I used to dream about killing Freiza.. I always knew I wasn't strong enough.. But now, maybe.." Calina spoke allowed to herself as she began to clench her fists. As Freiza exited the ship, various scouts followed.
Everyone was on edge, and there wasn't a sound coming from anyone now. Calina looked over her shoulder and met eyes with Gohan. He looked back at her and remained silent. Was this going to be it? Calina had become found of this planet, and the humans that inhabited it. A deep push of wind brushed past her and the others. Blowing bits of rock and dust around them. It felt, ominous..
Calina listened as her ears picked up a sinister laugh. Freiza's body was shaking as he bellowed a fierce snicker. Still, everyone else around her was silent, it was as if they too were in disbelief.
" Wait.. What?!" Piccollo's voice was loud and he seemed surprised. Calina was jolted awake, senses on alert, she looked around. It took a few seconds before her body caught on to what was happening.
A new chi seemed to appear out of thin air. Calina placed both of her hands onto the large boulder infront of her. Pulling herself up slowly, she saw him. A warrior with golden hair. He was radiating hot electric energy. The fighter was speaking to Freiza.
" This is impossible! Who the hell is this guy!? " Vegeta spat. The Saiyan prince was frustrated. He didn't enjoy surprises.
" Calina get down.." Gohan was behind Calina now. He was just looking out for her well being. Calina however, didn't hear anything. She was too infatuated with the warrior infront of them.
Calina took a deep inhale, closing her eyes for just a moment. Slowly opening her eyes, she began to smile. " He's a Saiyan.." Calina spoke in a clear voice. Everyone around her seemed to simultaneously gasp.
" Calina… Seriously I don't want them to see you.." Gohan spoke again, this time he reached up and lightly touched one of her bare ankles. Calina smile even more. Looking down, she realized she was levitating.
" I can't help it.. " Calina spoke allowed. Looking ahead of her she watched as the blonde haired man began to fight with Freiza. Calina levitated up a bit further, getting more and more drawn in.
" Sorry.." Calina spoke in a clear voice, looking down and meeting eyes with Gohan once more. With a thoughtful glance, she left. Calina blasted forwards, fully intending on figuring out who this new fighter was.
The new man was quick, and before Calina left Gohan's side, he had already sliced Freiza in half. That's right, in half. As Calina watched Freiza get diced, she also watched the new warrior launch a powerful chi blast. Completely vaporizing him. Calina landed on a flattened boulder, around forty feet from the ship. She was silent, but watched and listened intently. King Cold was a massive creature, and Calina had only met him once. He easily exceeded Freiza in power, and as of the moment Calina could actually see what the warrior looked like.
King Cold's voice boomed infront of her. The King had begun a negotiation with the warrior. Calina watched as electric yellow energy bounced off the fighter. He was a Saiyan, and a super Saiyan at that. Was this really possible?
The conversation turned violent quickly. As King Cold went to slam the warrior with a hard blast.. The fighter dodged and quickly countered. Doing a few various hand signals, the golden warrior unleashed a massive chi attack. Calina caught her self holding her breath. She was shocked and overly excited.
The golden warrior's attack completely vaporized King Cold, and the remaining soldiers quickly reloaded the ship and fled the area. Calina was frozen. The warrior slowly turned to face Calina. He was tall, almost Goku's height, and his build was that of the average Saiyan male. The man seemed to flicker, and within seconds he was standing infront of her. His shadow over took her shape.
Calina stood upright, head tilted upwards. The man's eyes were hard, and the emerald iris's seemed to spike right through her. The strange man began to smile, and with a deep breath his hair began to relax and his chi dropped. Calina watched as the intimidating Saiyan warrior infront of her shifted. His bright blonde hair dropped and changed color to a pale purple. He had a deep indigo, almost black jacket on, with black loose fitting pants. Calina noticed a familiar logo on the side of the jacket, but couldn't remember where she had previously seen it.
Within seconds Calina felt a push of air from behind her as the other warriors rushed to be at her side. The man looked up at them, and spoke in a calm, friendly voice.
" You don't know who I am, but I'm a friend of Goku's.. He'll be arriving in two hours, about fifty miles from here.." The man spoke with a small grin. He was handsome, and he had a softness to him that Calina hadn't seen in a Saiyan since she met Gohan. Calina took another deep inhale and took in the new Saiyans scent. It reeked of human and Saiyan both. She decided she would keep this to herself.
" Who the hell are YOU!? This is impossible, there are only four Saiyans left alive in the universe. Kakarot, myself and Calina are all full blooded, and Kakarot's son is half Saiyan. So who are you!? " Vegeta's voice was booming and Calina felt the hair of the back of her neck pick up. He was upset.
" Listen… I know this is difficult to understand.. I need you to trust me.. please. " Calina listened as the strange man spoke. Vegeta seemed to be fuming.
" You know.. You look so familiar.." Bulma pushed Vegeta out of the way and made her way up towards the new man.
The warrior looked startled and began to slightly blush. " I.. Well.. " The man then became silent and began looking at the ground. He appeared nervous.
" Yeah, you know you kind of remind me of.. my dad?..no.." Bulma spoke allowed. She questioned her own thoughts. The man remained silent and cleared his throat.
Calina was smiling ear to ear. Who was this man? A Saiyna, blushing? This was unreal.
Calina relaxed back a little, and was happily surprised to see Gohan standing there. She rested against him for a moment. Calina felt Gohan's breath on the back of her shoulders and neck. For a moment she forgot where she was..
" How do you know when Goku will be back? " Piccollo asked with growing suspicion. Calina had noticed that Piccollo was always weary of new people.
" I know.. Just please trust me.. I promise I'm a friend.. Now please.. Follow me.. " The man spoke in a confident voice. Calina noticed his hair was cut into a sort of, bowl shape.. His hair was such a strange color..
Gohan lightly pushed Calina off his body and Calina quickly caught her balance and took off into the sky with everyone else.
Calina and the rest of the fighters kept a close eye on the man who had so easily killed Freiza. It wasn't long before they landed on cue. One by one everyone shot suspicious looks at the new warrior. The man however stayed very calm, and reached into his coat, pulling out a small box.
In the box he withdrew a pill sized device. Clicking it, he then tossed it. The small pill sized device expanded with a small pop and revealed a mini refrigerator. Calina had come to know a few things about capsule corp. The pill shaped device the man just threw was a capsule, invented by Dr. Briefs himself.
How did this man have a connection with capsule corp? Calina wasn't the only one who was curious.
" Hey.. That's a capsule from my dads company.. Hmm.. Where did you get one of those? Are you a friend of the family? " Bulma had crossed her arms and was in interrogation mode.
The warrior just smiled and pushed a hand through his pale purple hair.
" Listen, we're going to be here for another couple hours, so please have something to drink." The man's words were soft and Calina noticed that the Saiyan was missing his tail.
" Where is your tail.." Calina spoke in a clear, questioning voice. Why was it that she was the only Saiyan that felt the need to retain her heritage? It was a little upsetting. The new warrior seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her.
" Hey Krillin, he has orange soda! " Gohan was already at the small fridge and withdrawing beverages from it.
"Well, I mean we are going to be here for a while… Throw me a grape Gohan! " Krillin was smiling as he waved his hands around. Awaiting a throw by Gohan. Calina wasn't concerned with anything to drink, she was much more interested in the warrior. Her intrigue was matched by one other warrior there, Prince Vegeta.
The warrior would briefly glance at Vegeta and then look away. He did it again.. and again. Finally he glanced over to you. He seemed to catch a small blush again. " I had it removed when I was a baby.. " The warrior answered Calina's question. Calina still intently stared at the man.
The Saiyan stranger shot another look over to Vegeta. " WHY do you keep looking at me! Who do you think you are, barging in and saving the day. We would have been just fine you know! " Vegeta was beginning to boil over. He didn't enjoy beings starred at.
Gohan had brought a small can over to Calina. With a smile she nodded and took the beverage. Gohan sat next to her and Calina made a joke about how Gohan should probably be studying instead of here with everyone. Gohan started to laugh and Krillin made a comment about how ChiChi was going to freak out when Goku got here. The three of them laughed for a moment.
The new warrior was warmly smiling and staring at them. Calina looked up and caught his glance. The warrior seemed intent on watching her and Gohan.
" Why can't you at least tell us your name…" Calina's voice was low, but the warrior heard her.
" I just can't, if you were to find out anything about me it might change the future.." The warrior spoke with a serious voice. Everyone looked at him. He was looking more and more suspicious.
It was a few minutes later that everyone picked up a new chi. It was slowly entering the Earth's atmosphere, everyone immediately lit up.
" Dad! No way! " Gohan pushed himself up and off the rock he was sitting on.
" What, Goku's here! Alright! " Bulma's energy increased and she jumped around for a moment in excitement. Everyone was standing now, and the new warrior was facing west. Everyone followed his lead.
It was only a minute later that a brilliant light broke through the sky, and a pod shaped ship slammed into the Earth, miles infront of them. A harsh wind from the impact pushed past the group.
" I have a request, and I know it's strange. But please.. could you give me five minutes with Goku alone.." The new saiyan looked across at everyone when he said it.
" Absolutely not, for all we know you're the enemy." This time Piccollo spoke up. Locking eyes with the stranger.
" I promise I only need a moment.. It was.. Nice meeting all of you.." The pale haired man seemed to look in particularly at Bulma and Vegeta before he left.
The pod that was holding Goku soon opened, and the tall Saiyan slowly emerged from the pod. The Saiyan stranger soon vanished and reappeared infront of Goku. He was fast, and Calina was still impressed with his ability to kill Freiza.
Far from the ears of the group, the stranger spoke up infront of Goku. " Goku.. I need to have a word with you.. " The Saiyan stranger then proceeded to power up to super Saiyan and attack Goku.
