History Lesson
Sii and Waila arrived on the Kai's world and the two of them looked around. Waila had expected it would be in ruins from the fight with Buu but it was as serene as it could be. Sii breathed in the cool clean air and smiled.
"I haven't been here in forever. I always loved this place." Sii said.
"Where is everybody? The instructors back home said that the Supreme Kai of the last cycle would be here." Waila said.
"I believe that's him." Sii said pointing at two spots off in the distance flying towards them.
The two landed and stood in front of Waila and Sii. The both of them pointed at Sii and backed away screaming two names.
"Bii!" The small old Kai cried.
"Buu!" The taller one cried.
"I'm not Buu! And you! Oh you are in for it!" Sii growled as she walked towards Old Kai.
Old Kai ran and hid behind a tree while Sii fumed and steamed leaked out of her head.
"Uh what's going on?" Kaibito asked.
"Uh I'm one of the new Supreme Kai's." Waila said.
"You are the only one here who deserves that title! The old fart is a moron. And you! You were tricked into fusing weren't you?" Sii asked Kaibito still fuming.
"Uh yes. But it has helped immensely. I am much stronger now." Kaibito said and Sii laughed.
"Much stronger? Waila's stronger than you are right now." Sii cried while laughing.
"Who are you? Why do you look like Buu?" Kaibito asked angrily.
"Buu is my Brother. I am half of the Goddess that created the Kai's. I am Majin Sii." Sii said stretching her body so she was right in his face.
"Bii!" Old Kai cried.
"Why does he keep calling you that and why is he scared of you?" Kaibito asked.
"That was my name when I was a God. And I sealed him in that fake sword until I was to let him out. He escaped a few eons of punishment." She growled.
"So your a Supreme Kai? Your… bigger than I imagined…" Waila said.
Sii swiped her hand across Kaibito and he split back into the Supreme Kai and Kibito.
"Eh?! How did you do that?!" The Supreme Kai asked.
"I invented the Potara earrings. I can undo them." Sii said somewhat bored now.
"I thank you Madame." Kibito said with a bow.
"Meh. Now to determine Waila's Title." Sii said as she flew off.
Waila and the others, even Old Kai, followed after her. She landed on a Stone slab that was floating in a lake. It had four symbols written on the four cardinal directions and Sii waved to Waila to come down. The female Kai landed and was immediately thrown to the south by an invisible force. She fell into the water and when she surfaced she looked very unamused.
"You knew that was going to happen." Waila said as she spat out a stream of water.
"Yeah. It's always funny." Sii said.
Waila twitched her ears and shook the water out of her hair then flew up to where the other Kai's were waiting. Sii joined them and the five of them landed under a patch of trees.
"So Waila is the Southern Supreme Kai. She is also the strongest out of all of you. So I've got a gift for you." Sii said holding out her hand.
A thin sheathed sword appeared in her hand and she tossed it to Waila. Old Kai backed away from the blade cautiously.
"That is the real Z Sword. I used to have 2 but I gave one to those aliens to kill that big monster… anyway, it's made with a metal that absorbs and regenerates the first source of energy it comes in contact with. Which was me. If you can learn to use that sword then you will be as strong as I was when I was still Bii." Sii said.
"T-thanks Sii." Waila said attaching the sword to her back.
The blade was only three feet long and had a simple unadorned cross guard. The pommel had a red gem at the bottom.
"No problem. And you!" Sii said pointing at Old Kai. "You are not allowed to unleash people's potential. It's a placebo. It gets people killed. Or I'm locking you in a star next time." Sii growled.
Old Kai nodded and scooted away from the angry Majin. The Supreme Kai and Kibito sat and stared at Sii.
"What?" She asked in annoyance.
"You made the Z sword?" Kibito asked.
"Well I didn't. And one was the Z sword the other was the Hero's Blade. They were gifts. I stopped a Legendary Super Saiyan from destroying a Galaxy, the inhabitants were very grateful. They teamed up and made me both swords. I'm more of a staff person myself…" Sii said holding out her hand.
A five foot metal staff appeared in her hand and she smiled. The staff was made of a silvery metal and had two red rings near each end.
"Ah I missed this thing." She said as she tossed the staff into the air and it floated a few feet off of the ground parallel with the ground.
Sii sat on it and took off like a witch on her broom. Waila started laughing as her new friend looked just like a child playing with a toy they forgot they even had. Sii went through a few loops and landed next to the others.
"Ah that was fun. I used to do that around planets. Especially when I was only five thousand." Sii said happily.
"Just how old are you?" Waila asked.
"I am the oldest being in the universe. I was born when the universe was still dust, just like my real brother, Demigra. I became the goddess of Protection later when life began to appear. Before that we went around destroying planets for fun. Then I actually grew a conscience and we fought. I won and banished him to the demon realm. Now he's the Demon God." Sii said.
"Okay so you are absolutely ancient. How come you act like a child?" Kibito asked.
"Who says you have to grow up? I actually did though as Bii. She may have been the model for my personality but she was… cold, ruthless. Scary. Like my little episode back at the Tournament." Sii said with a shiver.
"That's what Bii was like? Then why're you… not?" Waila asked trying to phrase the question.
"I don't know but I don't want to turn into her again. I'd turn down all the power of it meant remaking Bii." Sii said.
"It must have been bad as Bii." Waila said.
"Not at first. She was welcoming, warm friendly. It was after so many of her friends died, either naturally or not, that she snapped. I almost want to thank Bibidi for splitting us." Sii said.
"So Buu and you were what made up this, Bii?" The Supreme Kai asked.
"Yes. I was all the good and intelligence. Buu was the power and insanity. Though I guess I have a bit of both of those now. I would hazard a guess that if I absorbed Buu then we would go back to Bii." Sii said.
"Well you don't have to worry about that. Goku destroyed Buu, right over there." The Supreme Kai said pointing to a crater.
"Good. I rather like being Sii. Now I suppose it's time I got back to earth. Come visit anytime Waila. And you three! Get stronger! You are supposed to be guardians!" Sii said as she vanished.
Back on Earth…
"Alright is everyone back? Are we missing anyone?" The announcer asked.
"I think we're good." Videl said.
"Alright then! We only have one match left. Gohan vs Mr. Satan! Who will emerge victorious!" The announcer cheered.
Videl chuckled as her father stepped into the ring trying to appear as confident as possible. Gohan glanced over at her and she nodded. Gohan cracked his knuckles right as Sii appeared in the waiting area next to Videl.
"Si-?!" Videl said as Sii gave her a hug.
"Uh… Sii? Kinda hard to breathe." Videl croaked.
"Sorry. I'm so sorry. Everybody." Sii said.
"Don't sweat it." Trunks said.
"Yeah. You were awesome Sii!" Goten cheered.
"Hold on guys, this will be the quickest champion fight in history." Videl said and Vegeta laughed.
The buzzer rang and Gohan vanished. There was a half second where nothing happened then Mr. Satan went flying out of the Arena and landed with a thud. He wasn't hurt, just confused as to what had just happened. Gohan walked over to Mr. Satan and held out his hand. The big man took it and Gohan hauled him into the arena. They stood together in the arena.
"I have surpassed the man who defeated Cell!" Gohan yelled and the crowd cheered.
"He's not lying, he is stronger than when he fought Cell." 18 said.
"Yeah. At this rate the kids are gonna be stronger than us in no time." Goku said looking at Vegeta.
"I refuse to admit that until I defeat Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled as he flew off, presumably to train.
"He'll never change." Krillin said.
"So now that the tournaments over, what do we do?" Sii asked.
"I'm going to keep training until I can beat you!" Goku said excitedly.
"I think we're headed home." Krillin said as he stood next to 18.
"I'm going to think. You'll see me again." Tien said.
"Uh, I don't really want to go home. But I don't have the money to stay in the city." Cresh said.
"No problem. I'm sure Mom won't have a problem if you stay with us." Goten said.
"Really? Goku?" Cresh asked.
"Not my decision. Come on." Goku said as he led Cresh towards the crowds.
"What about you?" Sii asked Videl.
"School starts again in less than a month. I don't want to go!" Videl said.
"Chi-Chi said if I live at their house I have to go to. I hope it's not as bad as you make it sound." Chim said.
"Well I never went to school. Could be a nice change of pace." Sii said.
"Let's see how long you think that." Videl chuckled.
They all flew off to their homes and when Videl and Sii arrived at the Satan mansion they walked into the gym where Hercule's trainees were waiting.
"What do you guys want?" Videl asked in annoyance.
"Teach us how to fight like you did. You know, flying and stuff." One of the guys said.
"Humph. Not a chance." Videl said.
"Oh come on Videl. At least give them a chance." Sii said cracking her knuckles.
"Fine. If you can land a blow on either of us then I'll teach you. Or Sii will." Videl said.
The two dozen trainees all rushed forward and tried to tackle the girls but the both of them vanished and reappeared on the other side of the room. The men all stared at them in confusion.
"How did you do that?" One asked.
"We are that fast. Good luck." Sii said with a smile.
And so the girls spent the next few weeks dodging the trainees and fighting criminals, as per the usual. Once the school reopened the two of them stood outside the doors of the main building waiting for the others.
"Do I have to wear this?" Sii asked as she tugged at the uniform that Mr. Satan had gotten for her.
"Well the only other thing you will wear is your Gi. We can go find something else after school." Videl said.
"Hey!" Gohan yelled down to them.
He, Chim and Cresh landed next to the two of them. Chim was wearing a dress and it looked like someone had wrestled her hair into a braid. Sii chuckled a bit at the sight.
"Oh yeah? You look even more ridiculous than me!" Chim growled.
Cresh was wearing a similar outfit to Gohan. He had a black shirt and blue jeans.
"So everyone ready?" Gohan asked.
They followed he and Videl inside and almost immediately people were staring at them. Gohan didn't know if it was because they could see Chim's tail, Sii's appearance or that the World Champion was walking down the hall. He found out very quick.
"Look she's pink! Looks like she's made of gum." One of the Battle Ball Players said with a laugh.
"This ones got a tail! I wonder if…" He said as he grabbed Chim's Tail.
She yelped in surprise but didn't attack them. Gohan quietly thanked the Kai's that Chim wasn't as violent as most Saiyans.
"Back of Jason." Videl growled.
"Pfft. Please your dad couldn't even beat nerd face here. I doubt you're any stronger." He sneered.
Videl looked like she was about to pummel him when Gohan intervened.
"How about this, the five of us against the whole Battle Ball team. One game on Friday. If we win then you won't bother us. If you win we won't report you to the dean." Gohan said.
Jason smiled smugly.
"You've got yourself a deal point dexter." Jason said.
"Good. Now I believe you are going to be late for class." Gohan said as he grabbed the others and they vanished.
The bell rang seconds later. Jason and the other players panicked.
In the classroom things were different. People stared at Sii but she had gotten used to that, the Teachers didn't bother her as she and Videl had come in during the summer to speak with them. They had been informed of her past and a few had even been shown her memories. They gave her their respect. The lunchroom however…
The five Z-Fighters stuck together in the cafeteria. Jason was preoccupied picking on the younger students to bother them but Sii could sense and hear the bullying. Maybe it was instinct from her days as a protection goddess or maybe she just wanted to get even. Either way steam shot out from the holes in her head. She vanished for an instant and somehow, the Bully's all ended up face first in the trash cans while the bullying victims ended up with their trays of food.
"Sii…" Gohan warned.
"You really think that I'm going to stand by while he does that to a bunch of kids?" Sii asked as she refilled her bowl of rice for a fifth time with her magic.
"No I really don't but, be more discreet about it. Don't make Jason mad. He'll take it out on them." Gohan said.
"Fine." She mumbled.
The rest of the day went off without incident and when the final bell rang the five warriors shot out of the school and into the sky.
"Cresh and I are training with Goten, wanna come?" Gohan asked.
"Can't, helping Sii find some better clothes." Videl said.
"I think I'll come. I could use some variety in my wardrobe." Chim said.
So the girls spent the rest of the day finding decent clothes for Sii. In the end they settled on jeans and a black turtle neck. She pulled a ball cap down on her head and smiled.
"Awesome. Now to just…" She said pulling on her ear holes.
She pulled them and snapped them into a new shape. Videl and Chim laughed a bit as her new ears took shape. They were large and pointed similar to Waila's.
"You look like an elf." Videl said.
"You realize the myth for elves originated from the Supreme Kai's?" Sii asked.
The two teenagers stopped laughing as they realized she was probably right. They were interrupted by screams at the front of the store. The three of them shot to the entrance only to be faced by Gitar who looked rather embarrassed.
"Uh hi, I was uh wondering if you could uh, help me find some clothes?" He asked awkwardly.
"Oh this will be awesome." Sii said as Chim and Videl dragged him into the store.
By the time they left, it was dark and Videl's wallet was 500 Zeni lighter. Gitar now had a blue tee shirt and a black windbreaker with black jeans.
"Well that was worth it. So Gitar what brings you to Satan City?" Videl asked.
"Uh well, you are the only people I really know who live in a town so… I kind of just followed your energy." He said.
"I guess everyone else does kind of live pretty far out of the way. Well, where are you staying?" Chim asked.
"I've been staying up on the Lookout but Dad went off to train solo for awhile. I feel bad just sitting up there free loading off Dende and Mr. Popo." Gitar said.
"Well why don't you train?" Sii asked floating next to him.
"Unless the earth needs me to fight, I don't want to get any stronger. I mean, the only reason I competed in the tournament was because that's what dad raised me to do. I want to do something besides fight." He said.
"Sounds like you have issues with your dad." Videl said understandingly.
"You could say that. He taught me things in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber but I'd rather learn things that don't have to do with fighting." He said.
The three girls looked at each other and Sii grinned.
"Want to go to school?" She asked.
"Pfft! You think that they'd let me in? I'm the grandson of King Piccolo! To almost the whole planet I'm a monster." He said.
"So? Did you see what I did at the tournament? People should be terrified of me. I got picked on by a muscle headed idiot today." Sii said.
"You got picked on? How?" He asked.
"He said I looked like bubblegum. And he pulled Chim's tail." Sii said.
"No how did he get away with it? Couldn't you just beat him up?" Gitar asked.
"Yeah, then I'd really be a monster. No, we're having a Battle Ball match on Friday. A group of us vs the varsity team." Sii said.
"Speaking of which, we need to learn the rules so we don't have to give up by default." Videl said.
"Gohan's reading up on it. You know, we could always use more team members. And the Dean's house is only a few blocks away. That's how we got Sii into the school." Chim said.
"Oh no. I'm not joining your little club." Gitar said.
"Yes you are. Come on. You'll like school I swear." Sii said dragging the Namekian towards the Dean's house.
When the four of them arrived the Dean looked surprised.
"Hmm, Miss Sii, Miss Satan and Miss Chim, what an unexpected surprise. Please come in." He said.
He was a tall skinny man with a pointed mustache that stuck out on either side of his face.
"To what do I owe the pleasure? And who is your friend?" He asked.
"Sir, would you consider letting Gitar attend Orange Star?" Videl asked.
"Hmm, the son of Piccolo Jr.? You would face quite a bit of animosity. Speaking of which, how was your first day?" He asked looking at Sii and Chim.
"Jason picked on us a bit, but we set up a Battle Ball game on Friday. If we win then he isn't allowed to bother us the rest of the year and if we lose then you aren't allowed to take action against them." Sii said.
"Very well played. I will enforce those rules. Though you will need a minimum of 7 players, for a legal team. I doubt you will find anyone outside your friends that will face Jason. He is brutal on the field. Battle Ball is far from gentle." The Dean said sipping some coffee.
"Well if we get Gitar to join us that makes 6. Who else do we know that would help us?" Videl said.
"I haven't said I'm helping you." Gitar mumbled.
"Oooo! I'll be right back!" Sii said as she vanished.
"She is quite strange." The Dean said.
"Yep. Definitely one of a kind." Chim said.
Sii reappeared a few minutes later with Waila. The Supreme Kai wore earthling clothes and she smiled as they appeared.
"Hey ya guys." She said with a smile.
"Sir, this is Waila. She's a Supreme Kai. Basically a God." Sii said.
"I'm not a go-" Sii cut Waila off and elbowed her in the ribs.
"She is quite welcome to attend. As is Gitar. If they both wish to." He said.
"Yes!" Waila cheered.
"I guess…" Gitar said.
They stayed and talked with him for a bit longer then they left and the five of them flew up into the night sky.
"So how did you get her to come here?" Chim asked Sii.
"She hates being up there. Plus, I told her I'd teach her how to use her sword." Sii said.
"You know how to use a sword?" Chim asked.
"No, it's a special sword." Sii said looking at Waila who was chatting with Videl.
Gitar flew next to the four of them seemingly asleep with his arms crossed. When they were above the Satan house, Gitar and Chim waved goodbye as they flew out to Mount Paozu. Waila landed next to Sii and Videl as they lightly touched the courtyard.
Sii sighed as she sensed the trainees waiting for them just inside.
"Alright Waila, Videl's dad trains a bunch of guys here. The deal is, if they can catch us then we have to teach them how to use energy and fly." Sii said.
"So don't let them catch us?" She asked fiddling with her earrings.
"Yeah. Should be pretty easy." Videl said.
The three of them walked inside and evaded every trainee in the room. When they walked through the opposite door leading to the bedrooms, the trainees were sprawled on the floor.
"We're there three of them?" One asked.
"Yeah she had pointy ears right?" Another asked.
They followed after the girls just to be sure.
"Alright Waila. You can stay here. Sii's right across the hall and I'm a few doors down." Videl said showing Waila a bedroom.
Waila walked inside and layed down on the bed.
"So much better than grass." She said happily.
Sii noticed the trainees watching them and grinned.
"What you want to go a few rounds?" She asked.
They ran back to the gym and Videl gave Sii a high five. They went into their rooms and Sii smiled as she drifted off to sleep.
The rest of the week went much the same as the first day. Though now Gitar and Waila were Jason's victims as well. He had started by simply pulling on their ears but he found Waila wasn't much fun and focused much more on Gitar. He made comments about Piccolo and Aliens in general just to get under everyone's skin. At Lunch Waila used a bit of her own power to change almost everyone's lunchroom food into gourmet dishes. Except for Jason and his gang.
"Okay that was awesome how did you do that?" Sii asked.
"Simple transformation technique. I made it up after I realized that the only food on the Kai planet was fruit." She said.
After that they continued classes which, much to everyone's surprise, Waila and Gitar were both very gifted in. When school ended they met up on the roof and Gohan explained the rules of Battle Ball, with assistance from Cresh.
"So, the goal is to get the ball into the opposing teams goal area. If the ball touches the ground then the play is over and a new play starts from there. You get five plays, if you don't get the ball to the goal before then, then the other teams gets the ball." Gohan said.
"And unlike other sports, you can injure and sabotage your opponents, hence the name and all the equipment they wear." Cresh said.
"So how do you win? I assume there's a time limit of some sort?" Gitar asked.
"Nope, first team to ten points. After someone gets a point then the ball is placed in the center of the field and you race to see which team gets it." Gohan said.
"So can you steal the ball from the other team?" Videl asked.
"Yep. Listen, I think we should put on a good show. We shouldn't just move so fast that no one can see us. If we do that then he could just say that we cheated. We need to do this so it looks good." Gohan said.
"I agree. Plus if we go slow I can beat him to a pulp." Chim said smoothing out the fur on her tail.
"Alright so here's the game plan…" Gohan said pulling out a few sheets of paper.
By the time Friday rolled around, they all knew the game plan and The Dean had put up posters publicizing the game. So when the seven of them arrived on the field the stands were packed. The Dean sat in the announcers box.
"And here is the opposing team. Now, five minutes until the game begins." He said.
The seven of them were wearing their Gi's while Jason and his team all wore their gear. He was working the crowd and showing off. Sii rolled her eyes.
"He's begging for it. Alright, everyone ready?" She asked.
They all nodded and took their positions. Jason's team took up their positions , with Jason in the lead. Chim stood only a few feet from him and she grinned as the ref threw the ball into the air. She leapt up and grabbed it then hopped off Jason's head and took off on the ground. She weaves through the opposing team and stepped into the goal zone a few seconds later. The crowd was silent.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it would seem that The Orange Star Battlers were just outdone by one girl." The Dean said.
Chim walked back to the center of the field and tossed the ball to the Ref. He held the ball, stunned, until he remembered the game. He blew his whistle and Gohan's team moved its players around so that Sii was in front. She smiled innocently and Jason laughed.
"Your going down, Gum Girl." He said.
Sii's smile turned into a frown and steam flew out of her head. The Ref threw the ball and Sii extended her arm grabbed it. She gave Jason an evil grin and waved it temptingly. He charged and tried to grab it but she brought up her foot and smashed it down on his back. He made a crater on the field and Sii smiled as she walked to the Goal Zone. There was stunned silence. They had all watched the tournament and seen her fight but according to Mr. Satan, that had all been a trick…
"Uh… right. If Mr. Smith is able to continue playing then we will continue." The Dean said.
Jason picked himself up. His pads had softened the impact and he only had a few bruises. Though he had felt the force and he knew to fear Sii now.
"Waila your up." Sii said tossing the ball to the ref.
Waila took point and gave her best evil smile to Jason's team. All of them had pulled on her ears and now she was going to get them for it.
The ref threw the ball and Waila allowed Jason to grab it, as he ran past her she grabbed his shoulder pad and flipped him over her shoulder and onto the ground, facedown. She grabbed the ball before it touched the ground and walked through the other side of the field beating each of the players into the ground. They all groaned but we're mostly unharmed.
Next Videl simply ran through them landing a gentle punch on each. Gohan simply walked to the goal while all seven of Jason's team members tried to either steal the ball or stop him from advancing. When Gitar was up he grinned and enlarged his body until he was nearly thirty get tall. He squatted down and looked at Jason.
"Boo." He said.
The Battle Ball star fell backwards as his legs gave out. Gitar caught the ball and took one step into the goal. He chuckled as he shrank back down and tossed the ball to the ref.
Cresh was the last one to stand before Jason and his small stature bolstered Jason's confidence.
"Aw you Aren't much of a threat now are you?" Jason mocked.
Cresh curled his fist in rage but waited until the Ref tossed the ball. Then he sent a blow to Jason's gut that launched him into the air. He ran over to the goal then hurried back and caught Jason before he could slam into the ground.
"No more! No more! We give up!" Jason cried.
"Really? Want to tell everyone that?" Cresh asked gesturing to the stands.
"WE GIVE UP!" He yelled.
"Well, then I declare the challenging team the Winners! And I'd like to see you boys in my office tomorrow morning." The Dean said to Jason's team.
Sii and the others laughed as they flew out of the stadium and over the city.
"Yes! No more obnoxious boys!" Waila yelled.
"Obnoxious boys? You sound like a little kid." Videl said.
"Well yeah, I'm only seven." She said.
Everyone but Sii and Waila stopped in place at that comment.
"She's seven? What the heck?! I thought she was old like Sii." Gohan said.
"Hey! If you're so young then how are you so smart?" Videl asked.
"Supreme Kai's are born fully grown and with basic knowledge on how to use their powers. Also, when I fused with Sii, I kind of got a… memory infusion? It messes with your head." She explained.
"Huh. So you were born as an adult then?" Chim asked.
"Oh no I'm not an adult yet. That will be when I'm about fifteen. I'll get grow quite a bit and should get a major boost to my power." She said.
"Huh. Then what about Shen, the other Supreme Kai? He's about your size." Gohan asked.
"He's small for a Kai. So is Old Kai actually." Waila said.
"Whatever. Who wants ice cream?" Sii asked flying down to an ice cream truck.
The others followed her and she pulled a wallet out of her pocket. Videl punched her shoulder.
"You had money? And yet you made me pay for those clothes?!" Videl said.
Sii held out an ice cream cone for her and she took it still fuming. When they all had ice cream they leaned against a nearby wall and watched the sunset.
"You realize, everyone's probably going to hate us now. We did kind of embarrass the most popular guys in school." Videl said.
"Who cares? It was fun." Sii said.
They stayed there until well after dark then went home. When Videl, Sii and Waila entered the house they found the usual barrage of trainees. They simply ran through the group and walked out.
"They aren't going to give up are they?" Sii asked.
"Nope, maybe they'll eventually be worth training." Videl said.
The three of them laughed as they went into their rooms.
