Chapter 24

A small island started to come in Ozora's view and her brows furrowed at the small pink house. She landed on the sand and she looked around for any signs of people despite feeling Goku's energy on the island.

She walked forwards before hearing something and her eyes shot towards a head that popped out from the back of the house. She stared at the old male with his bald head and watched as he readjusted his glasses on his nose.

"Can I help you, Miss?" He asked and Ozora nodded while walking towards the older male. "Yes, I want to know if Kakkarot is here" Ozora stated and the older male's brows twitched.

"Are you an android?" He asked as he frowned deeply and never took the chance to let his guard down around her. Ozora stopped advancing towards the male before she let out a sigh and crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, I'm Kakkarot's mate, Ozora. Nice to meet you." Ozora bowed slightly before the older man's eyes bulged in shock. "What?! Y-You're that Ozora?!" He exclaimed in shock before he gained his composure and cleared his throat.

"I'm Master Roshi. Nice to meet you too, Ozora. I've heard great stories about you! Please come in!" Roshi offered and Ozora kindly smiled while following him inside the small house. She looked around at the living room where he led her into while he smiled at her.

"Goku's still resting upstairs if you want to see him. I was just about to go up to see how he was doing if you want to join me" Ozora nodded and Roshi hummed as he led her towards the stairs. His perverted eyes traveled towards her visible bust before he grinned back forwards.

Goku! You're such a lucky man! Roshi thought. "This is quite an isolated island you have here. Do you live here alone?" Ozora asked and Roshi snapped out of his haze. He cleared his throat again and looked back at her.

"No, I have a few students that live with me from time to time but they're not here right now" Roshi replied and Ozora nodded. She wondered who his students briefly were before smiling. He must've been a great teacher to have his students stay with him.

Roshi stopped at the top floor and opened the door to the room where Goku was being taken care at. He entered the room before his eyes widened. The bed where the Saiyan male had lain in was now empty and the covers were messy.

"H-He's not here!" Roshi exclaimed and Ozora's brows furrowed as she stepped forwards. She bent down and touched the covers to realize that they were still warm. "He couldn't have gone far-"

The entire island shook with great force and Ozora took a step back to gain her balance while Roshi was thrown across the room, off balance. Ozora ran towards the open window and looked out only for her eyes to widen.

Kakkarot...

Goku was standing in front of the ocean with the waves crashing form high to low from an attack. Ozora felt herself start to tears up and jumped out of the window. Roshi blinked a few times before he tried to climb out of the window as well.

"Hey, wait up!" Roshi called as Goku charged another blast before he released it into the ocean. The ground shook greatly and he fell out of the window before he crashed into the ground. "G-Go ahead without me..."

"Kakkarot!" Ozora called towards Goku and his eyes widened before he looked back at the Saiyan female. He smiled at her and Ozora almost tackled the male to the ground in an embrace while a few tears dared to escape her eyes.

"Hey, why are you crying?" Goku asked as Ozora found her footing again and he bit her bottom lip before punching him hard in his stomach with an angry facial expression. "You idiot! Don't ever do that to me again!" Ozora yelled at him.

"I honestly thought that I was going to lose you for a moment!" She snapped back at him and her eyes were glaring at him. Goku laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head in an innocent gesture.

"Sorry about that, Ozora. I didn't mean to worry you but everything turned out fine, didn't it?" Goku stated and Ozora scoffed while rolling her eyes at the male. "You call fighting for the Earth's existence 'fine'? You're truly a stupid Saiyan" Ozora insulted and Goku laughed.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a close embrace. Each of them felt that strong pull within their chests and Ozora could feel her face start to heat up.

"A stupid Saiyan that missed you a lot" Goku said and Ozora's eyes widened before he closed the gap between them and kissed her passionately. Ozora felt her body lit aflame and for the first time in a long time felt her soul become whole once again.

"I missed you too Kakkarot... Are you sure you're alright? That was some intense pain you went through" Ozora asked with a worried facial expression and Goku nodded with a reassuring smile.

"Goku, I see you're all better. That's good" Goku's eyes traveled towards Roshi before he greeted the older male. His brows furrowed and he frowned deeply.

"In my dreams I could hear everything that was going on. We're in deep trouble, aren't we? But I'm not ready to fight just yet." Goku stated and Ozora's eyes briefly widened. Everyone put their hopes on his strength and yet he wasn't ready... His enemies were too strong.

"Goku, why not?" Roshi asked and Goku smiled sheepishly while Ozora raised an eyebrow. "It's time for me to start my training once again. I need to move to the next level" Goku answered and Ozora's eyes widened.

The next level...? Ozora looked at her palms before she clenched them tightly while silently knowing what Goku was talking about. I... I've mostly already ascended to that level...but fully?

"Vegeta knows it too. Through my dreams I could hear him speak the same words that I also felt. There's a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan and I'll rise to claim it!" Goku exclaimed and Ozora smiled while shaking her head.

Master Roshi was in shock at the statement and didn't think it was possible. Ozora on the other hand knew that Goku could do it. She had trained with him for a long time and know that if anyone can ascend to the next level, it was him. The only problem they had was time.

Goku clothed up with new clothing and made sure that his uniform was ready to go. "I'm planning on becoming stronger than a Super Saiyan. It's the only way to beat Cell and I know I can do it" Goku said and looked at Ozora who leaned against the wall.

She had her arms crossed over her body and her eyes were staring out of the window towards the vast ocean. It was strange peaceful scenery for Ozora which she wasn't used to at all. Usually the planets she went to was covered in swamps and poisonous water.

However, on Earth, much like Namek, there was this calm feeling that dared to wash over her raging Saiyan genes. She could understand why Goku could turn soft on Earth and knew if she stayed here too long, the same would happen to her.

Yet, she knew that her Saiyan genes were too overwhelming at times and her anger flared more now than ever. She didn't know why but the more powerful she became, the more she struggled to control her anger instead of her power.

It was as if something was beckoning her to cross the line and she refused. She had come in contact with this 'limit' to ascend on Namek during her training and despite it being against her pride, she feared what would happen if she did cross boundries.

"Besides, I can sense that Ozora's already done it" Goku pointed out and Ozora's eyes widened while Roshi fell on the floor in shock. "I haven't reached that level yet, Kakkarot. My strength merely grew from my training." Ozora assure and Goku chuckled.

"I only need a year to know for sure if I can reach that level" Goku said and Roshi slowly stood up while fixing his glasses. "I hate to break it to you, Kakkarot, but you don't have a year. If you're lucky you'll get a month" Ozora stated and Goku grinned at her.

"Wait! You're not thinking of taking the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, are you?!" Roshi asked and Ozora's brows furrowed as Goku nodded. "Yip, that's the place. A year's training can be done in a day" Goku said.

"WHAT?! There's a place on Earth capable of that?! That's impossible!" Ozora exclaimed and started thinking about his impossible it could actually be. There was no way that there was a place where time was the length of a year while normal time passed.

"No, it's possible. We have a place names the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber'. Inside it, a year can pass but outside it would only be a day that passed. Pretty cool right?" Goku asked and Ozora was speechless.

"Kakkarot, I won't believe it until I see it. You need to take me to this place" Ozora said and Goku nodded. "Sure, but first I have to pick up Gohan and the others. I want him to train with us to get stronger" Goku stated and Ozora let out a sigh with a nod.

"Alright, you two keep safe. I don't know if you can really be stronger than a Super Saiyan but good luck anyways" Roshi said and Goku nodded while walking over towards Ozora to put a hand on her shoulder.

"You ready to go?" He asked and Ozora smirked at him before his body started to become incredibly light. "I was born ready, Kakkarot" She replied before they vanished from sight using Instant Transmission.
