Secret of the Planet
Chapter 6

As the six figures landed, there were no words to be said as everyone stared at the pair seated on the cement bench before them, shock clearly displayed on all their faces.
Vegeta was sitting calmly beside a beautiful blonde goddess with his arms crossed over his chest. He had his eyes closed. The girl was likewise.
The girl, Usagi, smiled slightly as they landed. Her eyes flickered over them all, recognition sparking at Goku and Gohan. Finally she settled her soft blue orbs on the last figure, his eyes locking with her own.
"It is you." Piccolo said softly, stepping toward her almost hesitantly.
He smiled. "I thought it was you." the smirk of satisfaction was eminently apparent.
Usagi smiled impishly. "Ne, you recognized my style?"
He smirked. "Hai. You haven't changed much. Demo, you have returned. Nande?"
Everyone looked between them blankly, confused out of their minds.
"Uh, hee, hee, someone want to tell me what the hell is going on here?!" Crillon finally shouted, exasperated.
Usagi ignored him. "Piccolo, you know why I'm here. You must complete your training. My skills have been sculpted to perfection and I have been sent to train you and the Earth Forces to prepare you for Chaos."
"So it's true then? Chaos is returning?" Piccolo looked away, his eyes flashing.
"Hai."
"Hello? What's going on?" Goku asked, looking as stupid as ever.
Usagi glanced at him.
"Gomen, allow me to explain. Piccolo and I grew up together. I was born in a separate dimension from this one, transported and raised here, and then returned to my original dimension several years ago. I've returned because a great evil that I encountered in my own dimension has followed me to this one. Since I am forbidden to leave this world for the time being, I must ask that you allow me to train you for this force; Chaos."
Piccolo snuck around behind her, inconspicuously of course.
Usagi blinked as he pinched her arm, poking at her and frowning. She swatted his hand away.
"Piccolo! What the hell are you doing?!" she demanded indignantly.
Piccolo smiled again, further shocking the officially bewildered group.
"Just making sure that you're not a mirage. You have no idea how long I've wondered if Lady Time would bend the rules and let you return to me. It's been so long." Piccolo said softly, still staring at her.
Usagi giggled. "Gomen nasai Piccolo, I forgot to tell you. With the imminent rise of Chaos, I've been too distracted."
She leaned toward the Namek and embraced him. "I've missed you so! Every night I dreamed of our time together! Everything was so bogus in Dimension one! I've yearned to return for so long!"
Piccolo, to the unending shock of the awed audience, returned the embrace, a smile still on his face.
"Usagi," he said gently. "You must train me so that we can defeat Chaos. Until he is destroyed this planet is in mortal danger."
Usagi pulled away slightly, smiling. "Ne, I will Piccolo. I will train you all. Demo, I must speak to your friends here. I'm so surprised to find that you've decreased your power level. What happened?"
Piccolo frowned. "When you left, Lady Time sealed my powers and forbade me to ever reach for them again. With your return the key to awakening them must not be far though."
Usagi grinned. "I'm flattered. I think. Anyway! Vegeta-chan!"
Vegeta glanced up, finally opening his eyes.
"Could you please tell everyone what I told you before? I must speak with Piccolo alone. Piccolo, let's go." She smiled, taking his hand and levitating in the air.
He nodded, smiling and following her example.
"We'll be back in a second minna-chan!" Usagi called as they disappeared.
Vegeta grumbled about annoying onnas. "Alright, listen up 'cause I do not intend to repeat myself again. There's this darkness called Chaos..."

****************

Usagi and Piccolo vanished into thin air, reappearing in the time vortex. The foggy atmosphere was a dead give away to their location.
Piccolo turned to Usagi, his eyes filled with admiration.
"You returned. After all this time." He whispered.
Usagi shrugged, smiling. "Of course P-chan! I wouldn't have just left you alone like that!"
She grinned. "You're my best friend! No matter how many years we are apart, nothing will ever change that!"
Piccolo blinked. "Friends..." the word filled his mind.
He frowned at the emotions that that word ignited in his heart.
"Hai, of course." He forced a smile to his lips. "I will never doubt your word again."
Usagi grinned hugely. "P-chan, I'm afraid that we have little time. Your training will be completed easily, demo...the others will be a challenge. I will need you to help me. Will you?"
Piccolo nodded. "Of course. We were once the greatest team in existence, undefeatable by mortal standards. Now that you've returned I will assume that you have fulfilled your destiny."
"Hai."
"And that makes you the most powerful being in the universe. When Chaos comes, we will be ready for him. I will train as hard as I can to ensure that nothing harms this planet."
Usagi smiled sadly. "You've changed greatly P-chan. So much has transpired in my absence. There is much to discuss. For now though, we must return to your friends. Come,"
She gestured to a swirling portal that had appeared beside her.
"I'd imagine you'll be delivering us only moments after we left?" Piccolo questioned.
Usagi shrugged. "Actually, I'll let Vegeta-chan explain before we come back."
They stepped into the portal side by side.

****************

Everyone looked up as the pair flew back to them. Goku looked confused.
"Where did you guy's go?" he asked blankly.
"Yeah, for a minute there we couldn't sense your energy at all!" Gohan exclaimed worriedly.
Usagi glanced at her companion, a spark of amusement in her eyes.
He shrugged. "We lowered our energy signatures a while ago. We must have gone out of range."
Everyone seemed to buy it, though it was a really idiotic answer.
Vegeta stepped forward. "Usagi-chan, we have decided to accept your training. If Chaos is coming, we'll be ready for him."
Usagi grinned. "Great! Then let's begin!"
