After a rocky start, They all soon become friends. But their happy times are over when Furiza shows up on Earth to reclaim a prized possesion of the Espian High Council which was why he even bothered with the planet in the first place. Now it is up to ChiChi, Gokuo, Kurririn, and a host of characters, new and old, to save Earth and the Galaxy before it's too late.
R & R!
Espa. Her home.
Was gone. Everything was gone. Her onyx eyes, young and innocnet, stayed fixated emotionless on the orange and red hues emitted into the airless atmosphere.
"ChiChi..Get away from the window." Her mother's voice was strict and ChiChi knew to follow it obediantly. Without hesitation ChiChi stepped back from the port-hole and sat down on the blue couch.
"Where are we going?" Ciara, ChiChi's mother, looked up at her towering husband puzzled by his secrecy. The Ox King mumbled something incoherently then waved a massive hand at his wife. Ciara knew what he wished of her. She bowed respectfully then went to sit beside her daughters.
Next to ChiChi, sitting politely and properly, were her two sisters. They were twins and only 4 years old. Both had deep brown hair, the color of dirt in ChiChi's perspective, and eyes a little lighter than that. Twins were a highly honored attribute on Espa so it was natural ChiChi received second-hand clothing made of curtains, and other materials while they received cherished robes and garments of the finest silks.
She despised Zerumi and Zerumai. She hated them. Sibling rivalry had nothing to do it. She was 6 years older than them and still they were loved more.
No one spoke as the Ox King wound his large hands around to manual controls. He manuevered the ship around so it was facing the vast expanse of space.
"Ciara, Take the children to the training deck." Ciara gasped putting her hands over her mouth. The elegant ebony hair fell from behind her ears framing her reddening face.
"Please..No! Zerumi and Zerumai are much too young! They-"
"DO AS I SAY, WOMAN! ChiChi will help you. When I receive the time I shall complete ChiChi's training regiment. Until then start the twins on the basics."
Ciara was trembling with grief as she herded her children to the stairwell. ChiChi, however, slipped away at the last moment and rushed back to her father.
ChiChi had always loved her father more than her mother. He was just always around while Ciara had to accompany the Twins to banquets and parties.
"Papa, I won't fail you. I promise. I'll become the greatest warrior ever and defeat Furiza! I promise! I give you my word!" Her tiny arms encircled the Ox King's arm, Unbeknownst to her, Her father was crying at her words.
"Go assist your mother, ChiChi.."
ChiChi would never forget the robes her mother wore the day they stepped off the ship and onto the Earth's soil. It was a purple silk Espian dress tied together at the sides. It halted at her knees allowing the grey silk pants underneath visible. Ciara's hair was tied into a loose ponytail with a silken ribbon.
Zerumi and Zerumai were wearing matching training gis. The gi consisted of a blue silk tank top with grey silk pants tied to their slim waists with a bow the color of dried blood.
ChiChi was the last to step off the ship glowering past her father to the two small figures sitting peacefully on the grass.
"So this is Earth. It reminds me exactly of Espa minus the orange sky.." Ciara commented smiling at her surroundings.
ChiChi fiddled with her new training gi. Her other had sewn it together using ChiChi's old garments. It was not silk but satin. ChiChi found satin much more comfortable than silk even if it was of lesser value. This gi was a bright yellow halter top allowing her long black hair to contrast with the ivory skin only attained by years without sunlight. Since ChiChi was now 14 she was able to wear a skirt instead of pants and she did as it made her feel her age. The skirt was black with her family's emblem on the bottom right hand corner.
"Yes. My brother and I came here many, many years ago to train under Muten Roshi. It was still a beautiful planet back then." Ox King rounded the ship looking out over the clearing to the wooded areas and endless fields. Mountains littered the horizon here and there bringing back found memories of early morning runs and evening campfires.
"Is that why you are such a powerful fighter, Papa?" Zerumi asked. She stood fiddling with her hair pulling on the pigtails to make them tighter. That was practically the only way the family could tell them apart. Zerumi with the pigtails and Zerumai with the ponytail.
"Nonsense. Papa was a natural born fighter. He didn't need any training from the start however it is the wish of any warrior to further their experience and sharpen their skills." ChiChi retorted strutting off away from the ship.
"ChiChi, where are you going?" Ciara asked worriedly.
"For a walk. Don't worry! This isn't hostile territory-" ChiChi smiled before breaking into a run. She leapt over a broken wood rail fence post with ease laughing as she did numerous flips and somersaults. It felt good to be free again.
"ChiChi! Come-" Ciara stopped as her husband's hand fell upon her shoulder.
"Now Ciara. Leave her be. She just needs to stretch her legs again." Ox King moved away from his wife to the ship.
"Papa..Can we go for a walk?" Zerumi and Zerumai appeared behind him grinning a toothy grin.
"Not right now. Your much too young to go for walks by your self. Your mother and I will take you once we are done."
Soon ChiChi came upon the end of the wood. Brushing a few leaves and other various woodsy items from her outfit, She stepped out onto the hilltop. There was a small cottage at the bottom. She had seen a scene like this in an Earthling book her father had brought back once.
However there was no friendly smoke billowing from the chimney. No cows or pigs, goats nor horses milling around the barnyard or the barn itself. It was eerie.
ChiChi shivered. However curiosity got the best of her. Focusing her ki, ChiChi hovered into the air and slowly flew down to land on the rooftop.
There was no sign of human life or any kind of life at all. All the way here she had barely seen anything moving.
"Maybe Papa mixed up. This can't be Earth. All the books said there was so many people living on Earth. Where are they all?" The young girl slid down to the door. It was open.
"That's odd. People don't just leave doors open.." ChiChi slipped inside quietly moving the door. It squeaked on it's hinges as she entered. Sunlight shone through the broken window in rays. The window was extremely dirty which made ChiChi even more inquisitive.
"It looks like no one's lived here for..years!" However as ChiChi looked around she was rather surprised. The cottage hadn't looked that big from faraway or the outside but it truly was.
The room ChiChi was standing in looked to be the dining room as there was a table with dishes set in place and a cooking pit as well as cupboards, sinks, and various kitchen items lieing around. From the room departed two hallways.
ChiChi moved forward stealthily careful her black sandals would not catch one of the many twigs and leaves on the floor causing an unwanted sound.
From the belt at her side, She grabbed a rather beautiful dagger swiveling it around so she could stab quickly and fatally if necessary.
The dagger's blade was shaped much like an 'S' however with subtle curves. The handle was thin and ivory with a diamond and sapphire perched at the top to form an eye of some sort. For a better grip, or maybe just for decoration, at the base of the handle where her hand was tightened, were two gold pieces. One went to the left and curved upward while the other when right and curved downward.
ChiChi stepped forward into the left hallway. Framed pictures of an old man were handing off kilter on the walls most of the glass coverings broken. Still she moved onward past the pictures missing one on the floor. It was of the old man hugging a small boy with black, spikey hair and a tail..
She made thorough checks of the cottage to find no inhabitants and nothing really of value. One room contained a rather pretty incense burner made of glass and other precious metals. However in her awe she had dropped it and it had shattered into small pieces.
"Well..It's a little small for my taste but I'm sure Papa and Mama would like it. At least Mama would be happy to have a real roof and not an aluminum sheet over her head." Just then, the front door slammed open violently. ChiChi ducked back into the room peeking out around the doorframe, dagger ready at her side.
"Man! I can't believe Muten Roshi is letting us live with him for a while longer." Someone said. ChiChi's eyes widened. Muten Roshi?
"Well we are almost done training with him. We won't be able to stay for much more. Then it looks like we'll have to clean this place up. It would definitely made a swank bachelor's pad." She scrunched her nose up at the words.
'Swank Bachelor's Pad?' She mouthed in silence. Peering out the doorframe once more ChiChi saw the people standing in the dining room.
One was a boy, maybe around her age, with black hair. It stuck out everywhere in spikes and unruly tangles.
'How in the world does he brush his hair?' She thought to herself. The other was a bald man. Both were wearing the same training gi with Muten Roshi's symbol on it.
'Students! They're Muten Roshi's students! If they are they must be very good at martial arts. I should watch out.' ChiChi looked around in the room. It looked like a child's bedroom with stuffed animals littering the floor and a small bed. The walls had this strange pattern on it of large bulbous things carrying baskets in the sky. ChiChi ran her gloved hand over the wall marveling at the picture.
"Swank Bachelor Pad? Whatever you say Kurririn. I'm just going to get a few things." This remark flew completely over ChiChi's head as her mind continued to ponder the odd wallpaper. The dagger hung limp at her side as she wandered around the room to a shelf. She absentmindedly sheathed it as she worked her way over to the bookshelf.
Books of various sizes and shapes were placed lopsidedly on the shelf. She pulled one down opening it and finding she could not read the words.
"Earthling grammar is so confusing." She spoke to no one but herself. Suddenly the door, which had been partially closed, opened. Quickly ChiChi darted into a shadowed area. Cussing herself for being such a baka, ChiChi sidled up against the wall ready to leap from the window should things get rocky.
It was the boy with spikey black hair. She gasped then put both hands to her mouth. He was gorgeous! His eyes, so innocent and loving, glided around the room. They matched perfectly with his chilidish smile.
He walked over to the bed and picked up a stuffed monkey. It had a martial arts uniform on and was holding numchucks. ChiChi watched with interest as he ran his fingers along it's frayed fur.
"Wow..It's certainly been a while since I've been here, hasn't?" Oh..His voice was the exact replica of the angels on distant planets in Espian myths. Without realizing it ChiChi dropped the book in her arms.
At the slam his head whipped around to stare directly at her. It was hard to control her breathing as he moved away from the bed and towards her .
'Great! Now what do I do?' ChiChi barely breathed as suddenly she came nose to nose with the boy.
"AHHH!" Shrieking, ChiChi leapt forward pushing him back onto the bed and running from the room.
"Hey! Stop!" She kept running despite his protests and ran out into the occupied dining room. Sitting at the table twiddling their thumbs, was the bald man and a pig.
"Yowzah!" The pig exclaimed standing up on the chair. ChiChi started to back away unsure of how she was going to get herself out of this situation. The bald man looked past her to the hallway.
"Goku, do you, erm, know her?" ChiChi froze as the boy suddenly appeared behind her.
"Actually no I don't but she was snooping around my room.." His voice was slightly accusing.
"Hey you listen here buster, I am not a thief and how dare you proclaim me to be one!" ChiChi turned around hand on her dagger. Goku watched the fire in her eyes with some amusment.
"Well what am I to think? You were the one in MY bedroom." ChiChi snarled.
"That doesn't matter! So maybe I was looking around! I don't steal!" The bald man walked up to Goku still staring at her.
"If you didn't steal anything prove it!" ChiChi dropped her guard.
"You can't be serious! Where would I put anything I stole?" The pig walked up to her a cheesy grin plastered on his face.
"If you want I could check for you-" He was cut short by the dagger digging into the soft skin of his throat.
"HEY! PUT THAT THING AWAY!" The bald man ran forward ready to grab the dagger. ChiChi however saw him from a mile away and backflipped away dagger at a careful angle.
With an elegant leap she jumped sideways cartwheeling to the other side of the table and out the door.
ChiChi and her family are forced to immigrate to Earth after their home planet Espa is destroyed by Furiza. There, while searching for a home for her family, ChiChi runs into Gokuo and Kurririn. After a rocky start, They all soon become friends.
