Chapter 7: A Surprise
Mia looked up from her computer, startled. "Gohan, where's Echo?"

"I'm not very sure. She went out a little while ago." he replied in confusion, as he didn't know why the professor was so uneasy.

Yet it had to do with all that was happening to them over the course of these days.

Echo flew on, over the forest, the wind of her motion causing her raven black hair to whip about. Something else is bothering me. It's not just that Taulpa is messing up the after life, but there's a familiar power nearby. I've felt it for five weeks now. Who could it be? She continued through the sky, trying to relax.

Then, she saw a couple of people coming right at her. Going up. Ha, elevator talk. The amazon continued to shoot up into the sky, then stopped high above them.

"Who was that?!" Juunana cried.

"I'm not sure, but it looked like my sister." the woman with him muttered.

The amazon continued to hover above them, trying to figure out was going on. Juuhachi flew up. "What are you doing?"

"Konnichiwa, Juuhachi. I'm trying to figure out who they are."

The jinzouningen looked down, then drew a sharp gasp. "Juunana!" she cried, floating down to his location. He jerked about, startled by the sudden cry. Then, he saw both his sister and Son Echo hover before them. "Is this why you weren't paying attention to me the last time I came to see you?"

"Hai, she kinda distracts me." he commented while blushing. Then they both turned to the others, for a startled cry attracted their attention.

"Echo! Kamisama, girl, where have you been?!"

"Lana? What did you do to your hair?"

"It's blue. So what? Did you think that I dyed it?" The two sisters hugged eachother in mid-air, startling the jinzouningen.

Echo, come home. We have big trouble.

She pulled away from her sister and flew off. "Well, there she goes. I've never seen her act like that before." Lana declared. Juuhachi looked up.

"Come on you two. Something's wrong." She flew off, pulling her brother with her, and with the saiya-jin following. The group arrived at the house, and Lana glared angrily at Gohan.

"You!" she cried, lunging at him. They fell to the ground, rolling about. The amazon leapt forward to pull her sister off of her husband.

"Stop it, Lana! This isn't the time to pick fights with your relatives!"

The blue-haired saiya-jin stopped in shock, realizing what her sister was saying. This guy was her brother-in-law. Mia came up to Echo, and she was holding a photograph. "Can you make heads or tails of this?" she inquired, handing it to her.

"When was it taken?"

"Last night."

Echo looked at it with interest. "Well, this planet is Neptune. And a large ship is passing it. This ship is going over the escape velocity for that planet! Which means it's already at Jupiter!" Her eyes noted that some of the planet's gases had been pulled off.

Piccolo looked over at them from his location. "We should leave this area then. There will be too many casualties if we fight them here." White Blaze growled in agreement with what the Namek-jin warrior just said.

The group left the area, heading for a far off place. It would take a good deal of travel to get away from civilization.
