Gohan flew slowly and cautiously as he stared at the giant crater
beneath him. It humbled him to see the proof that powers greater than he
live and walked in the universe. When his father was in sight, he could
see him and must have been the loose end his dad was talking about standing
next to each other waiting for him. With a surprised expression, Gohan
landed a few feet in front of his father.
"What's going on here, Dad," Gohan asked cautiously. "Is she what I think she is," Gohan asked, recognizing Niy's green skin.
"There's a new bad guy, much much worse than Cell heading for the earth, Gohan," Goku responded in a fatherly tone. "And Niy," he said, pointing at her, "Is going to help us train and defeat him."
"Yes, I'm a female Namek, Gohan, and no there aren't supposed to be. I was created by Dr. Gero, and no, I am not an android. I was created before them; I'm one hundred percent organic," Niy said slowly. "The evil being that's coming here is called the Emperor and he's made it his job to rule the universe. He wants to take over Earth, and Goku's asked me to help you guys stop him." Niy stopped and looked at Goku and they found each other looking into each others eyes.
Niy held his gaze for a minute, felt that same awkward humble-ness and dropped her gaze. "If you want to even have a hope of winning we're going to have to begin training immediately," she murmured just barely loudly enough for Gohan to hear.
Gohan mentally chewed on these new thoughts and eyed the limp figure on Niy's shoulder. "Who is that," he asked, pointing at Rezan.
"She's a creation of Dr. Gero, too, Gohan. She's like me, except she's a female Saiyan," Niy answered, the tone of her voice stronger now.
"And she's the reason Vegeta is over my shoulder," Goku said smiling a Saiyan one-sided smile.
"And I defeated Rezan," Niy said solidly.
Gohan's jaw dropped and his respect rose for Niy instantly. She reminded him so much of Piccolo. She was gruff, harsh, and underneath he could sense that she cared. Suddenly he felt something familiar about her ki.
"Dad, there's something strange about her ki," Gohan said curiously.
Goku's smile dissipated. "I know son, I know. I'll explain it to you later but first I have to get Piccolo and tell him about the training."
"Alright Dad, I understand," Gohan responded, smiling.
Goku slightly smiled and looked at Niy, seemingly asking her a silent question with a glance. And as if answering, she seemed to barely nod her head.
Turning back to Gohan, Goku asked, "Hey Gohan, can you do me a favor and take care of Vegeta for me. I'm going to be instant transmitting and I could do without the extra weight."
"Sure Dad," Gohan said, reaching and throwing Vegeta over his own shorter shoulder.
"Follow me, Gohan. I know a spot where we can train and your dad will meet us there," Niy said taking off into the sky.
Gohan furrowed his eyebrows and followed Niy silently. He knew his dad didn't need watching but he felt guilty not being able to be there for him. Still, he knew when to listen and continued to follow Niy.

Mia went to charge Piccolo when Goku's figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She jerked to a stop, and her surprise overwhelmed her rage.
"Goku," Piccolo said his name with a hiss, "What are you doing here?"
Goku looked at Piccolo's condition and frowned. "What's going on here Piccolo?"
"I'm training the brat," he snarled.
Goku slightly smiled. "You look like you're the one being trained."
"You want me to train you too, Goku," Piccolo growled angrily. He didn't need this. "I've got plenty of energy left to take care of you."
Goku looked at Mia. The being had lilac skin, long finger and toe nails. She was too skinny, almost malnourished skinny, and she had grey hair and the most crystal blue eyes he had ever seen.
"Her name is Mia, Goku, and Niy left her in my stead."
Goku's eyes widened. He didn't know there was a third. Then again, today was a day for surprises. "Niy has decided to fight against the Emperor. She is with Gohan and they have Vegeta and Rezan.
"Rezan," Piccolo asked. "Is she like Niy?" Goku nodded. Piccolo's eyes narrowed. Great, the other surprise.
"She's like Niy," Goku responded. "I'll explain the rest to you when we get there."
"You're going to take us to Niy?"
Goku looked over into Mia's innocent eyes. "If you'll let me," he responded.
Mia looked down at the ground, thought it over for a moment and nodded her acceptance.
"Good," Goku said. "Now, please place your hand on my shoulder. This will only take a minute and I assure you, it's painless."
Piccolo, grimaced, but let his hand fall on Goku's shoulder. Mia, frowned at Piccolo and glared at him, but Goku seemed to radiate a sense of trust and she found herself reaching for his shoulder.
Putting two fingers to his forehead Goku smiled and said, "Here we-" and disappeared.
"What's going on here, Dad," Gohan asked cautiously. "Is she what I think she is," Gohan asked, recognizing Niy's green skin.
