(NOTE: Mannan: The race the Freeza, King Kold and Kooler are from)

Marija struggled and flinched in her chair, trying not to bend her tail. Orenji stood up against the wall with her arms crossed and her eyes softly glaring at the Mannan. Marija abruptly stopped moving and smiled innocently, trying to stay on Orenji's good side, at least for now. Orenji mimicked her smile sarcastically then turned to a serious face. Marija knew they were both waiting for Ichigo to come back, and she could only think of the two Saiyan's yelling at her. Orenji looked up at the ceiling and counted the microscopic holes with no frustration.

"So—Where is she?"

"Rashi? Looking for a power we felt on the way here. She's coming, just I was suppose to come here first just to warn you if anything happened."

She turned quickly. "Power?"

"Yeah, some freaky shit. We were just flying around in space and BOOM! My stomach started to knot and my mind went all dreamy. I couldn't see. And Rashi, Jesus, she fell unconscious. I became like incredibly frightened of something that wasn't—or was—there, and I ran around the ship screaming like I was on fire. It was the craziest damn thing I've ever seen or felt before Lem, besides YOUR power."

"My power? Where were you? Like in space, where were you in space?"

"Like, uh, that was the thing. We where entering this 'black' covered area, like the inside of a Black Hole, of course there were planets and we could breath."

"…Black…Darkness…?" She muttered to herself, "…Raditz…"

"What?"

"Nothing. You said there were planets right?"

"Yeah."

Orenji put her hands on the desk and bent over to Marija. "Marija listen to me, in all my years of training I studied our history; the history and myths of ancient races. In all that dark space did you come across a large purple planet representing Neptune or a huge moon?"

"…Well, um, when I was freaking out I believe we did come across a purple rock. But it wasn't completely purple, it was like blue-black- purple. Why? What's going on? —" Orenji stepped back, eyes wide as saucers. Marija stood up, "Lem…? What's wrong?" Orenji covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes became white. "Orenji-chan…?"

Orenji squeezed her fists and screamed. A blue circle of electricity cracked out of the floor beneath her, and her hair sparked, turning electric gold. She turned Super Saiyan. Marija got blown into the wall in the blast. In the living room, Ichigo's eyes snapped open as she heard her house being destroyed. SSJ Orenji-chan blew a hole through the wall and flew out, almost catching the walls on fire.

Marija lied in the corner, breathing hard and her heart beating faster. The confusion and fear in her eyes blew away everything she had ever known of Orenji-chan. Suddenly Ichigo threw open the door, which fell off the hinges and crashed to the floor. Ichigo didn't notice it, which was shown by her infuriated face

"ORENJI!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DO—"

She looked at Marija. Marija looked at her, then smiled and waved.

"Hi there Mai."

Ichigo stared astounded at the Mannan's return, let alone the giant hole through her roof.

"Uggghhhhh…" She fell and fainted. As soon as she hit the floor, Marija lunged up and tried to catch her, but instead tripped over a loose floorboard and fell on top of Ichigo, startling her to conciseness.

"OUCH! Marija! What in the name of all things holy are you doing?" Ichigo spat. Marija's tail curled between her legs and she smiled innocently, staggering to her feet.

"Er, uh, well I like saw you were falling and I tried to catch you but it just went horribly wrong."

"Oh well, whatever. What are you doing back here?" She said more cheerfully as if nothing ever happened. Suddenly they heard a moan and both flew up and out of the gaping hole in the mansion roof. They rushed outside to find Orenji-chan sprawled out on the dirt, quivering in pain.

Marija ran to her friend's aid hysterically. "Like, oh my God, is she gonna be okay?" Ichigo looked puzzled and followed Marija. She walked up to Orenji's unconscious body, lifted her leg, and kicked her swiftly in the stomach. Orenji exhaled loudly with her eyes bulged and looked up. Marija bent over two inches from her face, smiling. Orenji closed one of her eyes and grabbed Marija's face, pushing her away. Marija was knocked completely over and hit the dirt behind her. Ichigo sighed loudly and sat down while the Saiyan, who was no longer Super, sat up.

"So…what the hell?" Ichigo asked.

"Like yeah Lemmy, you nearly died!"

Orenji ignored both of them and touched her hair, eyes, and face. "I'm…not Super Saiyan…"

"Orenji—"

"I-I'M NOT A SUPER SAIYAN ANYMORE!!!"

"ORENJI! Calm down you idiot you're still SSJ! You just got knocked out and your power dropped, duh."

"No! You don't understand! I-I was holding onto my goddamn power the whole time! Nothing makes me loose it, NOTHING!"

Ichigo, seeing that Orenji-chan was going insane, swung around and punched her hard in the nose. Marija looked up at Ichigo slowly.

"Was that at all worth it, Mai?"

"Yes…ha ha ha!"

"Oh God, such violence." She began to laugh too.

"Shut up!" Orenji jumped up and became Super Saiyan, her eyes glowing white. Ichigo, realizing what her friend had become, leapt up terrified; but Marija sat unaware and confused.

"You stay back!" Screamed Ichigo, clenching her fists and becoming Super Saiyan as well. Orenji growled, bearing fangs and bits of saliva running down her lips. Her heart beat faster…faster…faster—her power increasing with each beat. Ichigo suddenly realized the air growling thicker and hotter, the earth beneath her beginning to shake and crack. Orenji breathed faster, her heart pounding. Her body shook and the ground from where she stood cracked in with little effort from Orenji-chan.

Suddenly, she looked down at the ground, put her hands on her forehead, and dropped to her knees, her eyes icy blue and her heart at its normal rate. The earth stopped shaking and the air was cool once again.

Ichigo un-Super Saiyaned and looked at Orenji, and Marija stood completely stiff and in horror. Orenji looked up at them with tear filled eyes.

"S-Something is…tearing me apart…it takes my power…my body…my mind…" She dropped to the ground unconscious once again. Marija still stood tensed, watching the Saiyan drop cautiously, but Ichigo knelt by her deadly friend. Over the hills, the sun set into the night—and it would be a long night.
