Chapter 9: The Arrival
Chichi walked outside, looking up at the cloud-covered sky. She sighed softly, just as the clouds began to look threatening. A loud squall grabbed her attention. "I'm coming, Goten!" The woman walked back inside, then gently lifted her son up from the floor. "Get a grip, little one. You're half saiya-jin." she gently whispered.
She looked out the window, seeing three streaks of light coming. "Look, your tousan and niichan are coming home." He let out a happy sound.
"Kaasan, someone's with them." Goten muttered, the sharp splinter in his hand forgotten. The vapor trails vanished from the sky as quickly as they had appeared.
Goku came into the house. "Konnichiwa, Chichi. We found Gohan and brought him back. There was also a girl there who belonged in this dimension."
"Well, let's not make them stand out there. A storm's coming."
The warrior let them inside. Echo held back as Gohan approached his mother. "Kaasan, I missed you! You too, Goten!" A fierce family hug was shared. Then Chichi turned to the girl quietly standing there.
"What's your name?" she inquired.
The girl looked a little unsure for a second. "My name is Luz Echo." Her gray blue eyes shifted uneasily about the living room. Nothing here was familiar or comforting. She wished that Esperanza were here. Then, at least, she could find comfort with her beloved horse.
"Echo, you don't have to be nervous here. You can stay as long as you need to."
"Arigato. I appreciate your hospitality." the girl replied.
"I'm going to start dinner." Chichi declared. Three stomachs rumbled loudly as she walked into the kitchen. Echo chuckled as Goku's stomach rumbled again. He blushed then turned to Goten. The saiya-jin then inflicted the tickle torture on his son.
After dinner had been eaten, Gohan showed the girl to a spare bedroom. "Goku, I'm a little worried about her. She seems so shy."
"Well, she just found out that she's a saiya-jin today. That and she lost the family that raised her. But you shouldn't worry. She's tough."

Echo sat quietly on a cliff, overlooking a fertile valley. There were many people tending the fields that were behind their homes. The scene suddenly changed. A once fertile valley was now charred with repetitive fires. Many saiya-jins shot their ki at enemies from other worlds. An alien that was purple and white stood there, directing the actions of the warriors. Suddenly, there was an explosion that seemed to come from the planet's core.
"Echo, you've returned to your home dimension. Now you must know about the history of your people." a feminine voice declared.
"Who are you?" she demanded.
"My name is Aquila. I am your mother." The voice drew a deep sigh. "The saiya-jins are a warrior race. Few have survived to present times. You and your sister are just two of the children protected from the wrath of Frieza by the powers of the stars. The others have since passed on, but not you. Our clan is one of the oldest from Vejitasei. It is the Star Clan. Your sister fulfilled the prophecy of a child of water coming from the children of light."
"Aquila, what do you mean?"
"Child, your element is the light. Your sister's is water. She will come soon."
