Vegeta gave his best one-sided smile to Niy and she scowled at his arrogance. He eyed the youth at Niy's side and frowned. Two unexpected visitors. If there were two there would be more.

"Where did this piece of trash come from," Vegeta tauntingly asked Piccolo.

Piccolo snarled in reply and re-crossed his arms, in a stubborn silence.

He looked her up and down and his mind made a connection. She looked like something he recognized. Someone he knew. With a frown he said, "You're a female Namek." He looked at her red hair and his frown grew deeper. "No you're not." He saw her hard, cold blue eyes. "You're an android," he hissed in disgust. Preparing to gather his power, he shouted, "It's time to meet your maker, android!"

"She's not an android," the youth at her side said in a low tone that seemed to pierce the air. "She is Niy, and I wouldn't talk to her like that if I were you."

Niy smiled and stared at Vegeta as she gave the child a couple quick strokes across the top of her head. Vegeta stopped, very unsure of what to do next and the fact he was unsure made his anger start to simmer.

"You are wrong, Vegeta," Niy replied, in a mocking tone. "There is another Saiyan left in this world. She is like me in the respect that she has been far perfected from the savage genes you're made up of and far more powerful as well."

Vegeta stood shaking in anger. "You push me to my limits freak. How is it you know my name and what other foolishness do you speak of?! There are no other Saiyans. Kakorrat and I were the last! Nothing can change that fool!"

"I have been bred to know your name, your age, and your 'limits' as you so put it and what I speak of is not foolishness. If you want you can help me uncover her. She would be your biggest challenge. Just know one thing, Vegeta- your limits are not hers and they are far underneath mine."

Vegeta clenched his fists in hatred, but his Saiyan mind had caught a scent of honor hanging in the wind, and this new "Saiyan" seemed a promising victory, a secret vow for a powerful fight- a perfect time to grow his own ki onto a level beyond Kakorrat's. Still he growled as he answered, "Fine, I will find this thing without a name and I will fight her and destroy here."

Niy just smirked. The youth besides her looked up and smiled a more innocent smile. They both were amused.

Piccolo took a step into the fray. "Vegeta, you don't know what you're getting into. I advise you to…"

"Shut-up Namek," Vegeta exclaimed as he glared at the Namek, "Your advice never meant anything to me, so why would it now?!"

Piccolo slightly frowned, but shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "It's your funeral," he replied.

"Piccolo," Niy said slowly, "I can tell you more of the details later, but right now you have a promise to keep and I have a responsibility.

She watched as Piccolo barely nodded his chin. Smiling smugly, she gently stepped away from Mia. The child walked toward Piccolo in three quiet small steps.

Niy smiled again and without warning blasted into the air towards the direction of Dr. Gero's old lab.

Vegeta swore, called upon his ki, and shot in the air after her. Piccolo was left with the eerily quiet child, and he looked at her curiously. Her eyes seemed to soak everything in. She was quiet, she hid her quick, darting intelligence well, and she had a steel expression that Piccolo had never before seen in a child and it chilled him.

"So, what do you know," Piccolo asked warily.

The alien youth blinked once with her lilac eyelids and white lashes before replying, "I know… to never be afraid. Fear is for the weak."

Piccolo smiled suddenly, as he became amused. Fear let us know our limits, and without fear, that meant that Niy was extremely overconfident. Through Mia he could recognize and know Niy's weaknesses. Through Mia he had a second chance to create someone in to his own image- the person he was before he had turned soft. His smile grew darker more evil, but if it scared the girl the slightest bit it didn't show on her blank face.

"I have much to teach you, little one, so pay attention. I will only show you once…"
