Author's Note:

When I said this chapter is interesting about GV, I lied, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry because I had mistaken this chapter for the next one. And yes, the next one will have GV and I hope it's funny enough! Anyway, this chapter is for Christmas and once I finish editing the next chapter, I'll update it asap probably next year!

I'm now re-writing the chapters from the very beginning to shorten down the words and made it more readable unlike lots of Japanese terms and ways. So this means I have more schedules up that might tightened me down but I had plans to end this Saga on a limited time so I can move on to the next.

Lastly thanks for reading and reviewing it. My story and English aren't that great but thanks to all of your support, I've been putting more efforts in writing it. How I made the story this far (more than 40 chaps) were all thanks to all of you. I'm not planning to get the reviews/pms shaken me anymore because it will not affect the plot I had already planned for the story to flow. But I will be gladly to receive some corrections in the plenty of mistakes I made throughout the story. (In fact when I re-read the story I had so many mistakes which I doubt some of you notice it) So once again, English is not my first language!

One of my mistakes is that I never really explain in detail how Kurisal and Boru actually looked like. I just only mentioned that they dressed in cloak. I'll correct it in the future chapters!

PS: Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year~!


Chapter 44: When There's A Will, There's A Way

She opened her eyes tiredly and her vision started to get a little clearer. She was on the ground lying with her eyes opened up, staring at the yellowish sky. The purpled-eyed girl blinked one time, two times, before she pulled herself up and into sitting position. Where is this…? She couldn't feel her hair being tied up as her hand tried to run through her hair, only to realize her blonde hair was short to her neck. Her hand was shorter as well. No, not just shorter. Her bare legs as well. Her size wasn't right. Not again. She didn't know how many times have she had this strange dream that keeps haunting her. How many times have she dreamt of herself as a child like now?

The solid ground hurts her butt and she is not comfortable with that. Standing up, she tried to look around when she was interrupted by a voice behind.

"Garasu."

The little girl turned and tried to see the person who just called her… name…? No, that's not her name. It's a name that sounds similar to hers. But why Garasu?

It was the same like before. She can never see the person's face at all. This woman is taller than her but her height doesn't look like an adult age. The white dress that covered up her whole body seemed to be blocking her view of what and who she is. The only thing that she can see is that this person has long black hairs with end curls. Her face was blank… like an incomplete painting without a face. Yet, the voice of this woman continued, reaching her hand to her. "Come on. Let's go see mother now."

Mother…?

She was practically mute in her dreamland. No matter how many times she tried to say something, words never came out. And her body just went against her will and moved along to this mysterious woman who had been appearing in her dreams. But this time, it was a bit clearer. This woman finally said 'mother' which was a word that seemed close yet not there. Also, this woman finally called her, but not her name. Her hand went up to the woman as their fingers crossed. The older gently pulled the little girl with her as they continued to walk ahead. She looked up at the woman and the angle was still reflecting to her he same. She was faceless for some reason.

She wanted to ask who she is.

But there was another strange question.

Bayans never dream unless they are dying. That's a trait of the race.

Are the dreams sign that her life is about to end?

Her eyes widened as her body pulled away from the pillar that she was leaning against at. She sighed heavily and allowed a hand to wipe her sweat drops. Her head dropped and eyes on the floor before she straightened herself up and stand-leaning against the pillar again. It was her first of sleeping while standing up ever since she arrived on Earth. So she actually slept on a place like this? She cleared her throat and sighed. She is beginning to hate herself a bit for actually adapted to the life of a human.

At the Palace, she never sleeps. But on Earth, sleeping is needed to replenish energy.

This time, she was sure that her dream is getting closer to her answer. Who was that woman that kept appearing in her dream?

She thought she was a goner when the cursed took effect on her and poisoned her. Of course half of it was her luck for having a gift to stop the time. Yet, fate got twisted and she was allowed to live once more. If the dreams keep coming in, does that mean her life is still going to end at some point? The stronger the dream is, the nearer her life is going to end.

Why did that woman said about her mother? That was a mystery to the half-Bayan. Her mother and father have never even looked at her as their daughter. Her father was always away and her mother treated her nothing but a stranger.

Then, her eyes fixed on that Namekian who was leaning against the tower's pillar on the other side.

"What?" Piccolo suddenly spoke and had his eyes opened up.

She wasn't startled because she knew he doesn't need to sleep to survive. Even if he does, he was used to not sleeping for days. "How long has it been?"

Piccolo knew she was probably asleep and lost track of the time. "Just 2 hours. It's about 3 in the morning."

Except for Karin and Yajiroube that went back to sleep at their own place, Piccolo and Guarsu were the only ones in the tower. The others have went further up to the Look Out.

Seeing that it was a chance to speak without the others, she spoke. "I have something to say." She said to the green-skinned alien.

The view ahead of him was something that he can't find a word to describe of. It was beyond his imagination of how a 'garden' would look like. Surely he had seen pictures what and how exactly a garden is but nothing special like the one he is looking at now. At one glance, it did seem like an ordinary garden. But the aura and the unique enchanted-like place immediately captured his attention, mind... and even his heart. The space in the garden was probably as big as a field. In other words, the garden is huge. There was a huge archway with steps decorated with colourful flowers. And further ahead, he can see a few pathways made of stone-like material along the way with fresh flowers in different colours at the sides with small fences to cover and separate it from the path.

The flowers looked so unique that some were in circles and some in shapes that he can't describe. There were also some thin tall trees around the flowers.

Few small archways ahead could be seen further up with paths that seemed to lead different ways.

The place wasn't bright or dark, just somewhere in between. The whole garden seemed to be covered by a huge bright blue coloured glass that it looked like a greenhouse.

This place has pure greenish grass painted on the ground, wooden fences surrounding at some locations, benches in a few areas and flowers decorated almost everywhere which he can't seem to identify. But one thing for sure, he was attracted by the beauty of it. He was quite a nature lover despite he didn't really show much like he cares.

He continued to move on and choose the nearest bench he could spot before he gentle put the boy down.

"Thanks." The Videl-like voice answered while he sits on the bench. "Have a seat too." He offered.

"Aren't you sick?" he asked, not accepting his offer.

"Oh don't worry, once I stop my cough, it won't come back for some time."

His strange words didn't get his attention at first. But soon he realized something was not right. "You talk like you can control your cough."

The boy quieted himself before he smiled. "You're not in a hurry right?" This time he moved a bit and leaves a space for him.

Seeing that there wasn't any harm, he decided to take up the boy's offer and sat next to him.

"Look." He said and had his eyes wandered around the garden. "Isn't this place beautiful?" Of course, the talkative boy didn't waste a time to have a conversation going on. "I always failed for not looking at this magnificent garden every time I passed by. The grass, the trees and the flowers, the nature sure is beautiful. Though... these are artificial."

"Artificial? You mean... these aren't areal?" He looked everywhere.

"..." he stared and frowned before he replied. "I thought so. You must be new on this planet. You sure don't know much about here, do you? So... what brings you here on this planet anyway?"

"..." That was a question he doesn't want to answer.

But as if the boy noticed the troubled look, he skipped it off. "Oh well, it isn't easy to build plants here because it's not that simple to survive without sunlight. Our planet has no sun and we had to rely on the Matise Laya. But even relying on that, it isn't effective because it is also artificial and not nature sunlight"

"Matise... Laya?"

"Take a look at the sky. It's in chartreuse colour, a colour that's between yellow and green. While other planets may have sun, we don't. We had Matise Laya to act as lights so we can see the surroundings. It's actually a special ice that creates light around which was made by the Queen. Therefore, we have no night-time here. The Matise Laya stays there forever and thus there will be light for eternity. But as our clouds are black, sometimes it gathers itself together and becomes really dark so there might be some places with dark clouds that made it like night-time."

Gohan recalled that Kuristal did mentioned the planet was created by the Queen.

"That's why we have to grow the plants under this huge glass. Within here, the plants, soils, trees and every nature and grow normally. The Moclus City, our capital city, is also doing this method to supply fruits and vegetables as well. Oh, maybe you don't even know what Moclus City is?"

"No." He replied.

His face suddenly lit up. "Being new isn't an easy task. Say, what kind of species are you? Since we do have a form that looked quite identical, I'm guessing you must a Hardoxien or Raphiens. They're the ones i know about that look quite much like us."

"Uh, do I have to answer that?" He had no idea what's up with this boy.

"You're an interesting fellow!" the boy chuckled.

For some... strange reasons, Gohan had noticed that the boy's cheek turned red like a cheery and... something hit him. Kind to think of it, he has white skin like human does. But with the way how his voice sounded the same like Videl, just made him feel like Videl is just right here. He stared confusingly at him. "Hey kid, you speak like you're not a race from the two species you've mentioned. What are you then?"

The boy turned quiet and eyes wide. Now his question to him and questioned him back. "That..."

"Humans look like this form as well, aren't they?" said Gohan.

The boy suddenly gasped in surprised. "A human?" Then he broke his laughter. "Okay you're funny. I don't know where you're from but for your information, humans are not able to survive on our planet."

"Huh?!" Hey, hey, I'm a half-human!

"That's because Human's cells are too weak to withstand the air around our planet whether if it's gravity, oxygen and other chemical substances. Their bodies are too fragile to do anything here. Hmm... well to be more precise, rather than saying they can't survive, it's more like they can't bear the air around here."

I see... so I'm okay because I'm a half-alien.

"Well, it's been quite some time since I had someone to talk this long." Said the boy as he looked at Gohan, who somehow can't find a reason to stop the chatting session. "No aliens are like you. They always ignored me because they think I'm a weak little creature."

Now that he said that, he does look rather kind of fragile. He's short enough to be a girl my age and definitely a fighter type since he gets sick easily. It's no wonder he looked really weak at one glance. But speaking of which, what is he doing here alone?

"Hey, we haven't had an introduction yet." Said the boy as he offered a handshake. "My name is Ruby."

Finding it was rude if he doesn't respond; he smiled and accepted his shake. It was then he realized how soft and small the boy's hand was. "Gohan."

"Nice meeting you, Gohan. I've made my first friend!"

"F-Friends?!"

"Yeah. You helped me out and we talked. Aren't we friends now?"

Uh, not exactly, kid. Do I even have time to be making friends now?

But the pair of indigo eyes looked up at him with a sign of 'puppy eyes' and how his mouth form into a pout ALONG with Videl's voice, he dropped his guard down. "I-I-I guess so."

"Hey, shall we play something fun?" he changed topic.

"Play?!" Alright, Gohan was not prepared for that. I don't have time to play!

"What's with your frown?" he chuckled. "It's not like we'll ever get tired at all. Since we don't need to sleep or eat in here, why bother?"

"Wait, what?!"

The boy almost forgotten that Gohan was new here. "Oh I forgot. Basically, the palace on this planet is a place where it doesn't require to eat or sleep because it has been covered and protected by a barrier which produces energy. This means that we will not lose any physical energy to the nature and remain healthy without consuming even water. In other words, we're immortal in here."

So that explains why I don't feel hungry or thirsty after hours. I thought it was just my imagination. But does that mean I don't even have to go to toi— wait! I shouldn't be thinking this much!

He had his hand run through his hair in troubled. "Sorry but... I got important things to think about and it's not something that can be easily solved. I don't have to play."

Ruby's eyes narrowed in disappointment. "What is the problem that you are troubled with anyone? Most aliens came here for gambling purposes. If you're not for entertainment or business, then what?"

Gohan's eyes naturally looked down on the grass. "To save someone who is more important than my life."

The boy had a moment of silent stare at his new friend before he smiled. "I see."

"I lost her once." Gohan continued. "And I'm not going to lose her again!"

Silence once again filled up the atmosphere as they both went silent. But it was getting a bit too quiet so Gohan turned and face at the boy who seemed to be thinking something before he noticed his stare. "Are you in love?"

What a simple question. "I'm crazy about her to the point I will lose my mind."

His eyes fixed back on Ruby who had a smile that doesn't seem... happy. "I envy you. You got a chance to know what love is. I wish I can be like you. But I was grown up in an unique environment and my body is weak. I never had a chance to meet someone." Ruby rolled his indigo eyes wide at him. "Is loving someone deep like you a great thing?"

The conversation somehow turned into a love session. "How should I put?" Gohan narrowed his brows. I never know I could love someone this much until I know her. It just... happens and you can't stop it. I'm not sure about other people but for my case, I guess I'm in-between the great and the bad."

"Why?"

"Hmm... Loving someone is something that words cannot describe really well. Of course people may use the words like bliss, happiness, heart-racing and maybe words that represents the emotions that one is feeling. But... if the person that you love doesn't love who you are but a part of you that doesn't exist, well, you feel kind of an unbearable pain. But I got to admit I was partly at fault due to being a coward."

"I get it." Ruby suddenly left the seat and dropped his feet on the ground.

Surprised by him, Gohan asked. "Hey, aren't you still having a fever?"

He raised his arm to his head like a salute and smiled like he had just received a wonderful gift from God. "Don't worry about me. I'm just about to go back home and rest."

So this guy does has a home somewhere. "Uh, sure."

"I'll be here once a day so I'll be glad if I can see your around again."

He didn't know why but it doesn't feel bad to have a new friend. "I can't promise you if I can't find my way back here."

The boy chuckled, gave a wave, and left jogging away, leaving the teen sat there in confused. That is one mysterious boy.

...

It has been 10 minutes but Videl has not even had her 10th step and she was already exhausted. The body was obviously not following her orders at all and she can't even see what's ahead. Everything is going dizzy as she steps further up. And finally, as if she had given up, she decided to take a rest and sat on the ground, leaning her back against the wall. The moment she stopped moving, the pressure seemed to ease and she stopped breathing hard.

Calm down, Videl. Just take a rest and think about the next step. Let's see... okay first I want to take a look at myself. What body has she put me into? But first, I need a mirror. I need something that can reflect myself.

Her eyes wandered around the darkness with only glows from certain areas of the wall that came from nowhere. Ignoring the mysteriousness, she followed her eyes through the hallway and noticed a path that leads to an open door. But the distance was far ahead and having unable to even walk for 10 steps, it was just far too impossible to get there unless she gets used to her body. But she can no longer free herself out if she does what the Queen says. "That woman! It will only benefit her from making me one of them! I won't allow myself to give in!" Despite her stubbornness, she knew how well there wasn't a choice for her at all. Either she waits for some miracle rescue or she submits herself to their kind. "Now that I think back, what did she mean by not a normal palace maid? Geez, it's confusing!"

"This place sure gives me the creeps." She muttered. There was nothing except the hallway and the only path that leads to that open out space ahead. Her eyes remained forward on that direction and somehow sensed that that the outside had some yellowish light. "Okay one more thing. Is my vision this good? Oh what am i saying? This body is nothing but an alien's corpse. Maybe that's why I can see this far."

The quiet and eerie aura of the place is driving insane. "Okay here I go." She thought up of an idea and had her body faced the ground, lying. Her face looked up ahead. "If I can't walk, then I'll crawl!" she growled and took the first step by moving her arms and legs, one by one. "Okay, not bad. I don't feel restrain but... I feel like I'm a lizard! Arg, forget it. It doesn't matter as long as I can get to the other side!"

It took her more than half an hour to finally crawl herself all the way ahead. As she reached to the exist, she felt a gentle cold air blowing against her skin.

She crawled further up. But as soon as she had an arm outside on the ground, she shrieked in shock and moved back. "Ouch! Cold! What was...?" she looked at the outside floor and realized the floor was different than the inside. It looked like some kind of marble-glass but as she stares at it longer, she realized it wasn't glass but ICE. She had her head out from the inner hallway and peek outside, only to find that the ground outside was all ice. She moved back and sat on the ground.

She inhaled and exhaled. "Someone please tell me I'm in a dreamland right now." She speaks but soon gave up. "Sigh. Nothing surprises me anymore. But how am I supposed to crawl now if the floor is so damn cold?"

She decided to stop thinking for a moment and once again, peeked outside. She sees a metal fence that was around a child's height blocking her view from what's ahead but she turned her head to the read and realized the fence stopped at some point and there was a staircase that lead downwards and further up. And although she was blocked by the view and can't move well, she could see the yellow-green sky above with grey-black clouds at a distance away. There was a garden-like place decorated with bushes and trees around. "It looks a bit like Earth but it's so quiet. Isn't there anyone nearby?"

It was then she gasped. "Hold on! I can see myself on the floor!" she faced down on the icy ground.

That made her surprised about her new look.

She looked completely different than her original look. Her hair was in black, side fringe, straight long hair to the height of her tummy. The colour style was completely different as well. Her current hair texture was superior than her original's, silky and smooth. Next, she paid attention to her eyes. The colour was indigo – dark blue, which was not very like of the purple-violet colour that the Kuristal and Queen possessed. But it doesn't change the fact she was similar.

She was wearing a strange necklace around her neck made of plastic-like material with some blue leaves-shape like as decoration. She was also wearing a pair of blue stick piercing on her ears. Now that she had absorbed about of her look, she had this satisfaction of what a girl should look. She wasn't exactly beautiful but not ugly either, still, she looked more attractive than any humans she had seen on Earth. Maybe it's the aura of the Alien's body. "So this is how I look huh? Darn and I can't even get used to this voice of mine either! Plus with this weird dress..." she clutched a part of the light-blue coloured dress she was wearing. It looked like a two-piece dress with a style of an ombree mini dress where the colour drops from bright brown to blue colour, a long drapes that matches along with the dress, white small ribbons decoration around her waist and the golden bracelet on her wrists which she had first noticed earlier. Finally, she looked down at her feet. She was wearing a blue knee-high sandal-like shoes with a zipper that seemed like it was made up like some elastic material straps.

"..." she stared in disgust at the invisible air or whatever she's looking. "For one thing, I look absurd in this outfit."

Of course, she never wears dresses. Hello? This is Videl Satan we're talking about. She has never fancied about revealing clothes and she hardly even wear a skirt, heck, it's impossible she even wear a dress. And here, she dressed such revealing clothes that show so much of her skin to the air.

She sighed and continued to sit in a W-Sitting position, staring outside with a blank mind. "What should I do now?"

Since she felt that there was nothing that she can do to prevent herself from the icy ground, she only came to the conclusion that is to crawl forward FORCEFULLY unless she wants to get used to the body. "No. I can't give in! Staying here is just wasting the time! Besides, I don't think I'll die from that cold with this alien body!"

She gently and slowly had her palm on the icy floor. "Oh Kami!" she removed it quickly. "This is horribly cold!" she bits her lips in anger and tried to feel it again, this time for a little longer before she removed again. "Darn it. If only I can walk with this body... wait a second!" An idea popped out. She took off her zipper shoes while trying to resist the body. It was not easy even by moving a bit but she managed to take off her sandal-like shoes. "I just hate troublesome sandals."

She wear the sandals with her hand to act like some protection against her skin and she did the same with her other hand. With this, while lying on the ground, she slowly crawled forward and placed her hand-with-sandal-shoes on the floor. "It seems to be working." As she slowly crawled and finally moved out, she forgot one important thing. "Cold!" she twitched in pain because she had forgotten her knees to her legs were all uncovered. As her mini-toga dress only reaches up to her knees, the rest of her legs were bare. Her arms were okay since she has drapes but not her lower body. "I must move on!"

With all her will, she managed to crawl as fast as she can to the staircase. She didn't count how long she took but for a guess, perhaps about 8 minutes.

When she finally reached at the start of the stairs, she noticed the next level ground seemed normal and not made of ice. Seeing, she gathered more energy from nowhere and crawled downwards, bit by bit. She finally had touched the ground with her hands in her sandals but her legs were still half-way on the stairs. She panted heavily. "I've never felt worse than this."

Her eyes then fixed ahead. There was a path but was blocked by some huge bushes-like plants, keeping her view out of what she could see. "When there's a will, there's a way." Since the ground was much warmer, it was easier for her to crawl, though still not very ease. "Keep it up, Raven!" she unconsciously spoke.

"..."

Wait a second. What in the world did I just blurted out? Did I just call myself Raven?! Shit. Maybe that Queen did something to me that I even forget my own name?!

The path eventually lead to a long forest walkway, causing her dropped her jaws and brows risen up. "Is she trying to joke with me?! Darn! I can't even see where this path will lead and am I going to crawl all the way like this?!"

No option for her. Cursing under her breath, she continued to crawl like a lizard or a centipede or whatever a creature that crawls on the ground. It definitely looks ugly for her to endure but it couldn't be worse than stuck on this alien body for eternity.

...

Now let's go back to Great Kaio's planet.

Goku had himself appeared back to Kaio in a flashed. "Great, I only met aliens with two heads, five hands but not any of them with three legs."

Kaio simply answered. "The two heads should be the Radious. Five hands should be the Mataniens. If you were able to meet them you should be on the right track. All you have to do is to sense further up away and you'll reach their planet."

"Great~!" he exclaimed. "I'll try again!"

SWOOSH.

(Plant Unknown)

Goku appeared himself in the middle of... some short creatures. "Eh?!" he blinked and stared at the aliens around them, looking utterly surprised... though it was hard to tell. But this time, Goku was pretty sure he met the right ones. Just like how Kaio described, they got black skins, long nose that is as sharp as knifes and they all have three legs. While he was analyzing the aliens, all of them had their eyes fixed on the strange who appeared in the middle of nowhere. They were gossiping some strange language that he doesn't understand.

"Hello guys!" he said cheerfully. "Bye!" And he disappeared.

SWOOSH.

"Alright I got it!" exclaimed the hyper Saiyan after he teleported back to Kaio. "Their kis are low but I already got that in my mind." He faced Kaio. "Thanks, Kaio! Bye!"

"Hey..."

But Goku already vanished before he could even stop him.

Kaio just stared through his glasses up. "When can he stop being so carefree?"

...

Goku eventually teleported himself back to Earth sensing Piccolo's energy. But when he went back to the tower, Piccolo was the only one there awake. Well he did realize he didn't sense the others around the tower but rather somewhere above. "Hey Piccolo... where's everyone? Above?" he frowned and wondered if the rest had went to the Look Out.

"It's 4am, Goku. Everyone just moved up there and rest. You sure took your time to get one wristband." Said the Namekian calmly.

"Oh you mean this?" he took the golden wristband out before he put it back inside his turtle style uniform. "Something happened on the way. Anyway, we'll should go up to the Look Out and plan—"

"No." A voice interrupted and the Bayan showed herself from a corner. He swears he almost got surprised to fail to sense her there.

"We shall plan here." Piccolo continued for her. "Where everyone was up there sleeping, she talked to me about the plan and this shall be only between the three of us."

He scratched his head confusingly. "Why so?"

"Didn't I mention earlier?" she spoke. "The reason they took Videl's soul is because a human's body is unbearable on our planet. This means that we're the only ones who can go since both of you are aliens and have stronger cells within you. The others are not in a condition to go. Furthermore, the lesser of us, the better it is."

"Oh I see..." he swallowed hard and imagined how furious his wife is going to look. "I guess... that's fine. We shouldn't involve them in."

"We want to be part of it too!" But the conversation soon got interrupted by two chibi voices outside the tower and all of their eyes focused outside. Trunks and Goten flew in and landed, surprising them.

Piccolo twitched. "Aren't you two supposed to be asleep?"

Trunks stick out his tongue before he continued. "Yeah right like we would! This time we're going to do some help! Since Goten and I do have Saiyan Blood in us, we could go too!"

"Forget about it! You two—"

"—are just kids!" Trunks continued for him. "You know what? It's useless to keep using that against us!"

"That's right! We're not normal kids and we can fight too!" Goten yelled along with Trunks, as though as both of them had already planned beforehand.

The pony-tailed Bayan, who couldn't watch anymore longer, cut in. "You two are asking for deaths. I can't suddenly add 2 of you in. It's difficult to have so many people."

"But we can help!" said Goten.

"Having more of us will have better chances." Added Trunks.

"..." She has nothing else to say because it's not like she didn't expect these two will interfere. She did, after, stayed on Earth for a year to watch over the group especially she knows well about their characters. "I'm not going to be responsible for what happens later. Save your own butts later if you got into trouble."

"Goku!" Piccolo hissed the Saiyan.

Goku just stood there with a blank face before he said softly. "We can bring Trunks but... maybe not Goten."

"Eh?!" The chibi Goku pouted with an unhappy look.

Gee! Stop looking at me like that, Goten! It's like looking at my own reflection! Goku scratched his cheek with a finger. "Uh... someone has to entertain Chichi right? She'll kill me if I bring you along."

"But you're dead!" said Trunks with a tone of sarcasm.

"Awwwww! That isn't fair!"

"It's not the time to be fair or unfair!" said Piccolo. "Goku is right! That woman is going to make a fuss if we bring you along."

Trunks decided to help out his best friend a bit. "I'll be fine if Goten just leave a letter to her and go with us willingly. After all, if he choose his own decision, he'd be the one to be screamed at."

"Trunks!" Goten cheered brightly. "I'll do that! Mom is scary..." he tried to imagine but shake off that thought. "But it's okay!"

"..."

"N-No! Goten." Goku lowered his knees to reach his son's height. He patted on his shoulder and faced near him. "I'll be KILLED by Chichi this time. You remembered how furious she was when I brought you with me to that healing pool earlier? It's not a joke!"

"But you're dead!" Trunks repeated again. "Say, why are you so afraid of your wife?"

"..." Goku laughed weakly. "Then aren't you afraid of your mother? I mean imagine if she gets really mad."

"Uh... well..." Trunks got cat-tongued.

The Bayan who was standing steps away from them, felt something warmed up her heart. Or rather, she giggled unknowingly. Giggled? But she stopped and went back to her emotionless state. "It does seemed that the Saiyans are terribly weak against females. If so, I wonder how are you guys going to handle the rest of us."

"What did you mean?" asked the lavender-haired.

"Bayans have more female populations. There are hardly any males and the numbers can be easily counted. How are you guys even going to handle more than hundreds of females surrounding all of you if you three are frightened just by your wife and mother?"

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Trunks frowned.

"QUIET!" Piccolo finally couldn't hold his breath anymore with a conversation he is unable to understand. "Goku, just bring Goten along. With the kids, they might come handy in some ways. As for your wife!" he paused with a sweat dropped sign appeared. "You... You can just avoid her since you still have to go back to the underworld later on."

"You got a point..." said Goku. "Okay, so it's all decided then!"

And so, the group finally had the conversation to the planning part.

The Bayan stood next to Goku and started. "Listen carefully and make sure to remember everything I said. If you miss a single important part, our disguise will be revealed immediately."

All of them nodded.

She faced Goku. "So you do know where the Zarus are?"

"Yeah, it wasn't easy but I managed. They're a bunch of aliens with long sharp noses and three legs right?"

Her eyes widened a bit. "That's right. But were you seen by them?"

"Kind of... my teleportation technique will ends up near where the energy is so I can't help to choose a location that nothing's nearby." He spotted her face with a sign of concerned. "I-Is there a problem?"

"There are a bunch of serious aliens. I doubt they will let something strange like you off easily."

"But it was only about 5 seconds before I vanish?"

"I just hope they will not think much." Said Gurasu before she sighed. "Since the location is set, I'll continue. Now, before we go to the planet, we need to get some cloak to cover ourselves up. The colour is just simple purple since the Queen and her followers usually wear that when they are at there."

"Cloak? How are we going to get that?"

"I can make them." Said the Namekian and pointed at the group. With a beam coming out from his finger, all of them had purple cloaks that suits their sizes.

"Wow!"

"Is that okay?" he asked.

She stared at the cloak. "It's simple and long, fits fine. But the colour should be darker. Can you try dark violet?"

Piccolo tried again and created a darker one for all of them. "How's that?"

"Perfect." She answered. "With this cloak on, it will represent ourselves as Bayans. Normally, they won't check every single of the Bayans and allowed them to board on their spaceships and back to Planet Dia. However," she looked at the squirts. "... they only know that I'm the only Bayan around this age. They've seen me but not you two."

"How is that going to be a problem?"

"I can speak my language and convince them that you two are experiments to be tested for the Queen. In other others, both of you need to act like captured aliens."

"Captured aliens?" Trunks narrowed his brows. "Isn't there a better idea than being such a young criminal?"

She quickly brushed off his remark. "That's the only way. If you can't do it then nothing will go accordingly."

"Fine." He lost his words.

"Next." She turned to the adults. "Both of you have to dress up as females."

"..."

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Piccolo growled. For some reasons, his sense of hearing is just too powerful that he doesn't need a second time to listen.

An eerie smile sticks on her face. "Even though that you will be wearing clock, the Zarus would want to see the faces of everyone. They can tell the sex differences based on their appearance."

"HAHAHAHA!" Trunks failed to hide his laughter before he covered his mouth trying to hold it down. "Now being a captured alien sounds much better."

"T-Trunks..." Goten was also trying to hold it down.

"Why?!" Piccolo couldn't understand this. Goku just stood there calmly. Or maybe confused.

"Only Bayans are allowed to use their spaceship without identification being verified both their planet and our home planet. In order to get through it, being females have better chances. Besides, we don't have the male Bayans visiting that planet much so that's the only way."

Goku finally opens his mouth. "But isn't this a bit..."

"What's wrong? It's just a disguise." She cut in.

"Hmm... okay fine. It's not like I haven't dress up as a girl before." And a smile appeared, recalling the old times. "Hey Piccolo, let's do that!"

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Piccolo exclaimed with an anger face, though the redness is barely visible due to his skin. "How am I supposed to become a female when I don't even understand what they are?!"

"No one ask you to become a female! You just have to act like ONE!" Trunks burst his laughter while he tried to imagine a female version of Piccolo.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Goten added in the laughter.

"Stop laughing!" he screamed and glared at her. "I'm sure there's another way to get through this!"

An idea popped from Goku's mind as he had his hands rolled to a fist and one of it pressed on top of the other. "Oh maybe we can ask Shenron to turn Piccolo to a female for a period of time? That will work right?"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" This time Goku joined in the fun and laughed along with the squirts.

"Stop this nonsense!" Piccolo flared up. "It's not going to work anyway because we already used up all 3 wishes not long ago!"

The Bayan managed to hold up her laughter. "I know it's difficult for you to accept this but this is the best chance. It's only going to be for only a short while before we enter the planet through their spaceship."

"Piccolo, just abide it. I don't like it either but we don't have choice." Said Goku. "But... how are we going to dress up?"

"Save that talk for later. Let me finish the plan first." Said Gurasu. "Do you have a way to teleport not at a place where there are a lot of them? It would be suspicious that we suddenly appeared in front of their sight."

"I don't know if I can but that should be fine as long as I'll choose the place where the energy is the lowest."

"Fine, that's better than nothing. Listen, once we arrive there, you guys need to keep your mouth shut in tight. For the kids, they should be alright since they're the experiment aliens but for Goku and Piccolo, please don't even make a noise. You guys don't know my home planet language and you'll get suspicious if you speak in a language that they don't know."

"Okay." Said Goku. "But now that I think about it, how did you guys managed to talk our language?"

"It's auto translation. Most aliens had this power to translate their own language to the other aliens. Well most of us don't really think of that as an issue because it's not unusual at all. It's not even an issue to become a problem. Well there are some cases of species that they only understand their own language."

"I see."

"Let's move on. Once we enter the spaceship, there will be one Zarus with us through the journey. So don't speak anything until we arrive at the planet. It will only take about 2 minutes. Before entering the planet, there will be a security in guard asking for identities. The Zarus will do the work for us by issuing its own identification. We'll enter the planet somehow and more or less we'll be at the Moclus City. That's our one and only city at the moment. Since there will be plenty of different aliens there, we'll be safe. So far, is there anything not clear?"

"Clear."

"Okay, that's all for this plan. As for how to go to the palace, I'll guide you IF we succeed to enter the planet without getting caught, if you guys get what I mean."
