Author's notes: Steven here, Chapter 6 is Here! After a long time of waiting and trying to get rid of our
writer's block, we had managed to get it out of the way, and now, we're ready to present you one of
the Final Chapters. ^_^ Oh, one more thing. This chapter is going to be BIG! So be prepared
for a big chapter, okay? Let's go!

The next day, I awoke in a bed on the 4th floor of Capsule Corp. I began to stir when I first felt the sun's
rays come in from an open window. I got up, streched, yawned, and sat up on the bed.
I was a bit drowsy. I felt as though I had just gotten over a VERY big headache. Also, I my entire body felt
tremendously weak. I lifted my arm and looked at it. There was a very tiny bump on it. It was probably where
Bulma used the needle for the transfusion.
I turned to the open door and saw Jesscheaux walking in with a bouquet of flowers. She placed them in a vase which
was part of the room's decor, brought up a chair, sat down, and said, "Hi."
"Hi, Jess. What's up?"
"Ah, nothing. I just came by to see how you're doing."
"Oh. Well, I've been doing all right, although I feel really tired and light headed."
"I see..."
Jesscheaux and I remained silent for a few moments, finding nothing to say, yet enjoying each other's company.
She then said, "Steven. Tell me, even though I know why you have come to this world, I want to know...why did you stay?"
"Why? Well......the reason I stayed here was because of the trouble between me and Piccolo. He and I are not friends,
and I wouldn't like to get on his bad side. Also, the matter of the U. Mavericks coming here makes me want to stay and
protect you guys?" I said.
"But Steven, me and the others have faced many powerful forces before. There's no reason why we can't stand our ground!"
"Jess, these guys may not be the strongest in the universe, but they do have magical powers that are outside this
world. That is why I'm worried about them and worried about you. I'm not sure if pure physical strength can withstand
magical strength."
"Well.....I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle!"
"You're pretty confident, Jess." I said with a smirk.
"Yes I am because no one, and I mean, NO ONE can beat me!" Jess said while starting to laugh a little bit.
"Is that so..." I said.
"Why? You spoiling for another fight?"
"Yeah...."
"Well, all right, but don't be surprised if you lose again!" Jess said with a wink in her eye.
"I won't."
She and I hugged each other tightly, then she said goodbye and left.
As I watched Jess leave, I smiled and said, "What a strong girl...."
I looked to the right and saw my armor sitting there on the chair. In the stomach part of the armor, there was an
open part, where Jess used that Kamehameha wave.
I leaned forward, picked it and raised it up above my head, and slowly slipped it on. I also reached toward another
chair, and put on my two buster guns, and my pair of boots.I then reached into my pocket and grabbed a thin remote
control with two buttons on it, one blue and one red. I pressed the red one, and all of a sudden, the armor
that I was wearing, and the boots and buster gun that I was wearing only a minute ago dissappeared into thin air.
"At this point in the training, these items are dead weight to me."
* * *
After 3 days of rest, the Saiyan Blood in me had restored my body and I felt stronger then ever. However, I was
supposed to be in Bulma's care for 1 whole week. I told her that I need to train as soon as I could and she
sighed and told me to 'go ahead'.
Jesscheaux, Reyanne, Piccolo, Yamcha, Goku, Chi Chi, and Gohan were all standing outside the Capsule Corp entrance,
waiting for me to walk out.
* * *
While I was walking towards the entrance of my room, Bulma and Vegeta escorted me. I was wearing a white T-Shirt
and dark blue cargo shorts, preferring to wear something light and easy to move in instead of strong and heavy.
"So, Steven, what are you going to do now?" Bulma said.
"What do you mean? I said.
"Well, you haven't have enough time for your blood to rebuild itself, and the Saiyan Blood could cause...."
"SAIYAN BLOOD?!" yelled Vegeta suddenly, "Woman, what have you done?!!!"
"Um...yeah..." I bent my head, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed.
Bulma was not to be outyelled, however, "YES SAIYAN BLOOD, VEGETA! What did you want me to do, just let
poor Steven DIE? I had to use Goku's blood to SAVE HIS LIFE!!!!"
"YOU USED KAKAROTT'S BLOOD?! ARE YOU INSANE?! Even though he's a 3rd class baka, the 'human' here isn't worthy
to carry the blood of such a noble warrior race!"
Vegeta glared at me once again; "Impossible!" He yelled, then he pushed me against the wall and said close to my face,
"You are still a mere human to me, no matter if you have Saiyan Blood in you, and you will never be stronger than I!"
For some odd reason, I smirked and bluffed, "We'll see about that."
Vegeta walked back to his room, feeling quite angry about this whole blood issue. Me and Bulma kept walking along.
"Anyway, before my husband rudely interrupted, I was saying that you haven't had enough time for your own blood to rebuild
itself, and the Saiyan Blood could really affect your body for the worse. After all, you do have an alien's blood
in you." She said.
"Well....I'm afraid there is nothing we can do now but wait and see. I don't want to waste anymore time in the
hospital. I want to train and get stronger for these Ultra Mavericks, and if I don't use every moment I have to
train, we barely stand a chance."
Bulma shook her head, "Well, I guess that's true...." She took a deep breath, and kept her head bent, wondering
what could happen to me without proper supervision.
When we left the hospital, Jess was the first one to run to me and give me a BIG hug. She was so happy because I
felt so much better after our last battle, and also, because I totally forgave her, which surprised her somewhat.
Piccolo stared and felt just a little bit of jealousy, but after what he told Jesscheaux, he would usually make
sure to think of Jess first instead of his jealousy.
I hugged her back, and we stayed at Capsule Corp for at least a few more minutes...
* * *
Late that night, at Dende's lookout, Goku, Gohan, and I were meditating. Jess suggested that I learn how to use
my SSJ powers as soon as I could, so it'd be best if I train with Goku and Gohan from now on. If I tried to train
with Vegeta, he would surely try and attack me because he thinks I'm still a 'mere human.'
"Concentrate, Steven. Focus on your Saiyan Blood. Focus on the thing that makes you most powerful. Focus on the
aftermath of the big fight coming up."
I did, and thought about it. I thought about the Saiyans and who they were, I thought about me and my friends, and
I thought of me, Jess, and everyone else celebrating because we had defeated the Ultra Mavericks once and for all.
Thinking of just that, soon, I felt my body becoming stronger. I felt my hair begin to stand on it's own, and when
I opened my eyes, Goku and Gohan were in Super Saiyan form, and apparently, so was I.
I stood up and stretched.
"Is that's how it's done, Goku?"
"It's the basics. You'd have to have a few months of training to learn how to use your Super Saiyan form just like
that." Goku snapped his fingers.
"So if I think of those things, I should be able to change into a Super Saiyan, right?" I said.
He nodded his head.
"Okay! I think I got it!"
Goku and Gohan gestured that they wanted to train with me. I nodded my head. We jumped off of Dende's lookout and
flew toward an empty spot in the world.
Jess walked toward the edge of the lookout because we had suddenly left. She smiled and noticed I was in SSJ form.
Even though I never heard it, she yelled, "Go, Steven!"
* * *
"Ugh!"
Vegeta stepped back, holding his stomach and looked up.
I was standing there with my leg thrusted out in SSJ form. I lifted it higher to stretch it out and placed it on
the ground. I smirked, which caused Vegeta to grow angrier.
"Blast it! I can't be defeated by him! He's not even a real Super Saiyan! A mere human can never defeat the Prince
of All Saiyans!"
"Oh? Then who am I then? I'm what you call a mere human, yet I'm defeating you." I said, making Vegeta growl again.
"That's it!" Vegeta thrusted both of his arms and made a fist with both hands.
"FINAL FLASH!!!!!"
From his hands, Vegeta's trademark move, Final Flash, suddely shot out from his hands toward me. I stood there,
at first a bit frightened, then I smirked and jumped high in the air at the last second. The huge Ki Beam flew
all the way toward a hill, and the hill exploded!
Vegeta stood there unfazed by the wind and dust resulting from the blast. Suddenly, he felt someone kick him hard
in the back. Vegeta fell to the ground and skidded until he came to a stop. He looked up and he saw me, finishing
another backflip before I landed on the ground.
He got up, ran up to me, and threw a flurry of punches and kicks at me. I dodged everyone of them and soon, I
grabbed his right arm, pulled it to the left, and punched him in the stomach. Vegeta's breath was knocked away
and he fell on my shoulder.
I let Vegeta down and let him lie on the ground, still holding his stomach in.
"Nice one, Vegeta. But I'm afraid that I got the best of you today."
I walked off toward the side, where everyone else was just staring at me with a gaped jaw. I looked at everyone
and sweatdropped.
"What?"
* * *
It has been nearly 1 week since Jess took me to Capsule Corp. and tried to keep me alive. Three days of that week, I
was resting in bed and letting Bulma examine me further to make sure I was doing fine. The next 2 days after that,
Goku and Gohan helped me learn how to control my Super Saiyan powers. I spent the weekend training with Goku
and Gohan and also, Vegeta challenged me to a fight! Somehow, I won, which was an amazing feat.
Now only two more weeks remain. I've got to stop freeloading, get off this chair and get back to work. The fate of
the entire world rests on our shoulders, and if we fail, we shall have the blood of everyone in the world on our hands...
* * *
I dashed forward, lunging at Goku, who was in SSJ Form. I had decided to not train in SSJ Form for now since it would
improve my overall power if I trained in my normal form.
We were training back at Dende's lookout since we all agreed it'd be the best place for everyone to train. Vegeta,
Piccolo, and Gohan were watching. Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu were busy training with each other. Jess had walked off
somewhere--I didn't know where.
Goku stood on one foot and lifted his knee, trying to knee me in the chin. To his surprise, I thrusted my arms forward,
threw his knee down and lifting me off the ground a little. I attempted a backflip and thrusted my legs up, kicking Goku
in the face.
I didn't make the flip, but I landed on my hands and did a front flip, landing back on my feet. Goku wasn't angry,
but he was a bit irritated. He wiped the blood off his lip and dashed forward at me.
He pulled his arm back and threw a punch at me. I leapt out of the way, barely dodging him. As I was in the air, I
landed on one foot, and thrusted my leg backward, kicking Goku in the back and making him fall to the ground. He
leapt to his feet, and raised his fists. He dashed at me and pulled his arm back. Before he had a chance to
punch me, Jess yelled from across, "Guys! Lunch is ready!"
Me and Goku stopped fighting and looked at each other. We dashed to the kitchen, ready to chow down!
While everyone was walking over to the kitchen, Jess was already serving us. She gave me one bowl of rice with a
little meat in it while she gave Goku 3 bowls of rice with LOTS of meat in it.
While Goku was eating the 1st bowl, I grabbed my bowl and quickly gobbled down the food. As soon as I was done, I
said, "Hey Jess! Could I have some more?"
She stood there a bit surprised.
(How can he eat so fast? Well, he does have the blood of a Saiyan, and I guess the appetite was inherited too...)
She thought, then she brought me 4 more bowls. She brought Goku more bowls of rice with the same amount of food as
mine had.
As Jess brought more bowls in, everyone showed up. Gohan and Vegeta joined in the feast while Goku and I were
continuing to devour many more bowls of rice.
As we 4 ate, everyone stood there, wide eyed. Jess was still surprised, but she was even more surprised that she
could giggle at me because of my appetite all of a sudden. She continued to serve us 4 while we kept eating.
Piccolo stared at us with a new look of disgust. "Oh great....another one...." He took a deep breath and turned
his head away.
* * *
The next few days, I continued to train under Goku's supervision. Because of it, I had progressed to a new
level of martial arts.
The 2nd Week went by really fast and I ended up fighting among the most elite of fighters. I had defeated
everyone, save Goku, Gohan, Jesscheaux, and Reyanne. Goku and Reyanne were among my equal in power. Gohan was a little
more stronger than me, but I was able to hold my own. As for Jesscheaux....
I had wanted to fight her in battle ever since I got out of the hospital. Even though I had apologized, I really
wanted to pay back the debt I owed her from that last match. I wanted to defeat her in combat or at least be her equal
because she really overpowered me and I didn't want that to happen again. I wanted to defeat her so that I
could be certain that I can defeat the Ultra Mavericks....
* * *
It was the beginning of the 3rd week. Everyone had gathered up to the Hyberbolic Time Chamber, ready to train for
one whole year.
Reyanne and Yamcha were the 1st to enter the chamber. They walked in, and closed the door. They won't see us for a
whole year, but they'll get through.
As everyone continued to train, Jess and Piccolo were talking to each other.
"Perfect opportunity..."
I walked up to Jess and tapped her shoulder. She turned and saw me smiling.
"Hi Steven. What's up?"
"Well....we never did finish our match, ya know." I rubbed the back of my head. "You wanna fight again?"
She looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and smirked, "Sure! I'll fight you again, but don't be surprised if you lose!
He he he..."
I smiled slyly and said, "We'll see about that."
Me, Jess, and Piccolo suddenly leapt off Dende's lookout and begin to fly toward an empty plain at the bottom of
the huge tower. As we were flying down, Jess yelled, "Whoo! I love to fly! What a rush!" I looked up and smiled.
(Looks like she cheered up.) I thought as I continued to fly towards the ground.
I landed on the ground gently. I stretched my arms apart and got into battle position. Jess got into battle position
too, and Piccolo stood to the side, watching the fight.
I flexed my arms tightly, and begin to increase my overall power. Soon, my body shined with a yellow and white aura
as my hair spiked up and turned yellow. I had changed into a Super Saiyan again!
"Okay, Jess. Ready!"
Jesscheaux ran up to me and jumped off the ground. She then flew towards me and she thrusted her arm at me and
opened her hand, releasing an invisible, but incredibly fast ki blast.
I knew what this was. It was a basic tech known as a 'kiai.' It was when you used a quick amount of energy to shoot
at the opponent, causing him to be pushed back quite a distance.
I saw this coming and held out my hand, countering the kiai with a stronger blast. I felt a small shockwave come from
the impact of both blasts and felt a small, but strong wind pushing my hair and clothes back.
I looked up and saw Jess drop from above with her hands held apart, releasing another ki blast at me. I turned sideways
and flew upward. Since I was standing sideways, Jess's ki blast missed me, and I ended up headbutting her in the stomach.
She flew back in pain as I did a back flip, kicking her in the chin in the process. I also dashed up as soon as I was
finished with the backflip, and grabbed her neck. I flew upward a little, then dropped to the ground, pushing Jess into
the ground. I jumped back, and saw her get up; she looked really mad at me now.
"Ergh!!" Jess literally growled at me as she began to flex her own arms, increasing her power. She was going to go
Legendary when she suddenly thought, (Wait! I don't want to hurt Steven like last time....I'll just play with him a
little more and make this match fun...)
"HERE I COME!" She yelled.
Jess dashed at me again with a very thick aura surrounding her. She pulled her fist back and screamed, ready to punch
me hard in the face. I smiled, closed my eyes, and sidestepped, avoiding her. I said with a gentle laugh,
"Need a little practice, eh?"
Jess suddenly began to grow angrier by the minute. She jumped back, and continued to try and hit me by punching at
me randomly. I yelled, "Hey! Try something else! Your moves are too predictable! If you don't change your tactics,
you'll never win!"
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT!" She threw another punch at me, but I raised my fist and caught it dead on. I smiled at
her, and punched her hard in the stomach. Jess took a small breath, then fell to her knees, clutching her stomach
tightly. I took a step back and said, "Giving up?"
Jess stood up slowly, holding her stomach in, and to my surprise, she thrusted her arms back and forth, shooting many
kiai blasts, causing me to be pushed back at the base of Dende's lookout, and I was being pushed into the tower. After
she was done, she took many deep breaths as I fell onto the ground, but quickly got up.
"Not bad, Jess. I wasn't expecting that." I wiped the blood off my lip. "But if kiais are all you got, you may as well quit."
"WHAT?! THAT'S IT! GRRRR!!!!!"
Jess suddenly crossed her arms, and then spread them apart, flexing them even more. Soon, her aura grew more and more
visibile and brighter. Jess's power increased to an incredible level as her body began to suddenly change color in
seconds, making her skin look like an intertwining rainbow. Her hair was pushed up by an invisible force as it began
to change silver and move on up her long hair, changing it from purple to silver. Her wings soon opened up
and spread out and far as it can. She let out a loud scream as she relaxed her muscles, causing her hair to be let
down and for her to finally relax.
I was surprised once again, for seeing Jesscheaux transform was still an amazing sight to me. I bluffed even more
and lifted my index and middle fingers, gesturing her to come at me. She grew angrier, and dashed at me. She flew up a
little, lifted her knee, and kneed me in the chin, making me fall back. Before I can even hit the ground, Jess was
already behind me, and held my neck with one hand; punching me hard in the back continuously. I felt the pain, yet it
seemed disconnected from me, as though it were someone else's pain. Finally, I lifted my arm and elbowed Jess in the stomach,
then I leapt off the ground, turned around and gave her a hard kick in the face, causing her to skid across the floor.
"Hmmm...I guess it's time to try out my new theory."
I got on my knees why Jess was still skidding, and I began to pray, praying for my Angel Wings to come out. I imagined
the thought and image of of me, standing up with my Angel Wings spread out and I was in Super Saiyan form as well.
I prayed long and hard on that image.
As soon as Jess got up, she noticed me praying.
"What can he be doing? He's trying to change into his Angel Form while he is in SSJ Form! He can't do that!"
She was to be proven wrong because soon, a transparent image of Angel Wings appeared on my back. Then, the transparent
image became solid as the wings began to form on my back. My body grew with a white/yellowish aura. Jess looked at me
in total surprise. She had not expected me to change into my Angel Form, and my power had risen tremendously, so much that
it even rivaled her power.
As soon as I was done praying, I got up and let my majestic wings spread out, shining with a faint light which
emanated from the wings. Jess stepped back, but bent her left leg back and stretched out her right leg, showing me
that she was ready for an incoming attack.
I raised my hand and opened it, suddenly releasing a ki blast at Jesscheaux. She saw this coming, but it was moving
faster than she thought, and she ended up immediately slapping it out of the way, causing her hand to twitch because of
the stinging pain it caused. Suddenly, I dashed at her and gave her a hard punch to the face, causing her to fly across
the field. I then teleported in front of Jesscheaux and gave her a hard kick upward.
Jess flew up in the air and eventually came to a halt. She was so angry by this that she decided to release all her
energy upon me with a Kamehameha attack. She placed her hands together, and began to call out the attack's name. When
she was done, she thrusted her hands forward, releasing one of the strongest Kamehamewa waves she ever had.
I looked up and was going to shoot a ki blast out of my buster gun, but it was no use. I didn't have my buster gun
with me, and it would take too much time to get the remote and change into my armor, buster guns, and boots. I decided
it was time to use an actual ki technique without any help from a Buster Gun or sword.
I placed my hands together, beginning to summon both my Holy and and my ki energy to the space between my hands. Soon,
a sphere of these two types of energy began to form. As I began to state the attack's name, I could feel the warmth of the
sphere in my hands.
"Ka....me...ha....me....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I felt the heat of the energy sphere grow a little warmer as I thrusted my arms forward with my hands wide open,
changing the small sphere into a huge Ki Beam, heading directly towards Jesscheaux. Soon, both of the beams collided
and began to push at each other. Jess and I began to increase our power as both of the waves began to push at each other.
Soon, the power of these beams became so great and our power diminishing that we could not control these attacks any
longer. The beams exploded and caused a huge wind to suddenly appear, pushing us back either into the ground or up
in the air.
Jesscheaux, being pushed up higher, looked at me covering my eyes from all the excess wind being pushed into my face.
"He's the first person to withstand my Kamehameha attack! I don't believe it!" She exclaimed then felt sore all over.
"Oh great...I can't fight anymore...I've used up too much power on that attack..."
She flew down to the ground, near me, where I was no longer in Super Saiyan nor my Angel Form. I opened my eyes and
saw Jess standing there. I was a bit scared since I had used up most of my power in that one attack. I raised my fists,
trying to set up my guard when I felt a gentle touch on my right hand. It was Jess, holding my hand.
"You are really the first person to withstand my Kamehameha attack, and you are also the first person to rival my power.
Steven...thanks...for being my rival."
I blinked.
"Rival huh?" I thought. "Heh...I have a rival now....cool!"
I shook Jess' hand, and sat down with my legs crossed.
"Heh...looks like the great Jesscheaux finally met her match." said Piccolo with a broad smirk on his face.
Jess turned to him with a surprised look on her face. "Met my match?! HAHAHAHAHA! Never! No one can match my power!
Ever! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Jesscheaux continued to laugh about this, and me and Piccolo sweatdropped. I turned to him and said, "Looks like
she's back to normal."
"Yep."
* * *
Jess really wanted me to go in the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. She said that with more training, I could become stronger
than Goku! I thought she was trying to imply that I could be stronger than her, but she was way too proud to admit it.
"Nah, that's fine. I have training of a different kind." I said.
"What do you mean?"
I held out my hand, and soon, white bolts of energy began to form into a sphere. Jess saw it and said, "What's so
special about a ki sphere?"
"This isn't a ki sphere. This is a sphere of magical energy."
"Magical?"
"Yes. Remember when we were at Reyanne's house, and I healed Yamcha? Well, that was my magic. In fact, that Angel and
Demon transformation was a result of magical power."
To my surprise, Jess turned her head at me. "Psh...magic. Magic's okay, but it won't be as good as fighting someone
with energy attacks and brute strength!"
"Well...okay, but magic does have it's benefits, and I need to train my magical side. I haven't had any practice
training my magical side, and I spent 2 weeks practicing my physical skills."
I walked to the edge of Dende's lookout and waved goodbye. I leapt off the lookout, and flew to a nearby waterfall.
When I got there, I teleported myself directly below the waterfall, so that the water would be falling towards me. I
floated in the air, had my hands clasped together, and began to meditate. This is supposed to be a special faith
healer's mediation which can increase magical and religious power quite a bit.
From Dende's lookout, Jess thought to herself, (Steve..you're missing out on this.)
Piccolo walked up to her and said, "Where did he go?"
"To someplace out there in that area of land." She pointed toward a series of mountains.
"He's just wasting his time training out in the wild. He should have stayed here."
"Yeah, but I don't want to force him. He's just going to have to deal with his own abilities his own way, I suppose."
"Speaking of, shouldn't we get in the chamber, Jesscheaux?"
"Yes, let's go."
Jess and Piccolo were next to go into the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. The door closed, and they would be training together
for a whole year.
Meanwhile, time went much faster for me as I floated up and down the waterfall, meditating, and entering a blissful,
quiet state of mind where everything was calm, quiet, and peaceful.
* * *
For the rest of the week, everyone spent time training in the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. Goku and Gohan were in one
group, Chaotzu and Tien in another, Yamcha and Reyanne spent time with eachother, Piccolo and Jesscheaux were another
group, and Vegeta, acting so selfish, went in by himself. I, however, spent the week, floating up and down the
waterfall, gaining much mental strength.
When I teleported myself out of the waterfall, my body was immensely cold, however, I felt much more at peace with
myself, and I my mind felt stronger than before. I flew back to Dende's lookout, where everyone was basically talking,
training, and resting.
Jess was the first one that I talked to.
"So, did you have fun spending all your time freezing yourself? Because you are kinda wet. Did you meditate under a
huge waterfall?"
"How'd you guess?" I said, realizing that I was soaking wet.
"I can tell where you were by sensing your ki. Why'd you do that, anyway?"
"Well, I heard it was an extreme test for magic-users and faith healers if they did that sort of meditation, and if
you survive, you become much stronger mentally."
"I see...."
I flexed my arms, and summoned a warm aura around me. Soon, my clothes became dry instantly. I placed my hand behind my
head and sweatdropped.
********Jesscheaux*********
I chuckled at my rival as he sweatdropped. Yes, I said rival....but I swear I'll get stronger than him...and then I'll
have NO rival! HAHAHAHA! Er....yes as I was saying. We were gearing up for the U Mavericks and our training was
mostly done by now. I'm so glad that Steven was ok. It would've killed me had he died....anyway! No more focusing on
the past. EXCEPT, Steve beat Vegeta! It was great! That arrogant saiyan baka had it coming to him! GO STEVEN!
Oh right! I was talking about the training. Well, it went rather well, especially the time chamber training and also
brought the people that went in together closer and for the married couples it was almost a 2nd honeymoon..hehehe.
Piccolo and I had finally gotten over our fight completely and it was a huge relief. It really killed me to be
separated like that. I smiled as I felt his hand come to rest on my shoulder and I put my hand over his.
"Hey..." I trailed off while staring at the swiftly setting sun.
"Hi." he answered me and then I leaned against him and sighed. We watched the sunset together, Piccolo's cape blowing
in the wind. As the last rays were vanishing, my husband turned me around and looked deep into my eyes. He caressed my
violet hair and I could feel my eyes filling up with tears of happiness.
"Oh Piccolo....I love you..." I breathed softly as I leaned up to kiss my beloved.
"I love you too, Jesscheaux..." he answered and our lips met in a soft kiss.
Looking back, I realize just how peaceful it truly was before the villains came along. I was always training most of the
time and never really enjoying every moment of life. Training will always be a priority to me, but somehow I knew that
there was something more. More important. Family. Friends. All the good things in life. We never really appreciate
them until they're gone.
Well, enough of that mush! We're going into battle again.... I've been on earth for nearly two years, the best two years
of my life, and already another villain to fight. I guess Goku really wasn't kidding when he told us about the other battles
they were in. But you know what? I think that we're ready. The Z warriors and Steve (whom I dubbed an honorary Z warrior)
have trained as much as we can. But will it be enough? Only time will tell...

The next day, I awoke in a bed on the 4th floor of Capsule Corp. I began to stir when I first felt the sun's
rays come in from an open window. I got up, streched, yawned, and sat up on the bed.
I was a bit drowsy. I felt as though I had just gotten over a VERY big headache. Also, I my entire body felt
tremendously weak. I lifted my arm and looked at it. There was a very tiny bump on it. It was probably where
Bulma used the needle for the transfusion.
I turned to the open door and saw Jesscheaux walking in with a bouquet of flowers. She placed them in a vase which
was part of the room's decor, brought up a chair, sat down, and said, "Hi."
"Hi, Jess. What's up?"
"Ah, nothing. I just came by to see how you're doing."
"Oh. Well, I've been doing all right, although I feel really tired and light headed."
"I see..."
Jesscheaux and I remained silent for a few moments, finding nothing to say, yet enjoying each other's company.
She then said, "Steven. Tell me, even though I know why you have come to this world, I want to know...why did you stay?"
"Why? Well......the reason I stayed here was because of the trouble between me and Piccolo. He and I are not friends,
and I wouldn't like to get on his bad side. Also, the matter of the U. Mavericks coming here makes me want to stay and
protect you guys?" I said.
"But Steven, me and the others have faced many powerful forces before. There's no reason why we can't stand our ground!"
"Jess, these guys may not be the strongest in the universe, but they do have magical powers that are outside this
world. That is why I'm worried about them and worried about you. I'm not sure if pure physical strength can withstand
magical strength."
"Well.....I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle!"
"You're pretty confident, Jess." I said with a smirk.
"Yes I am because no one, and I mean, NO ONE can beat me!" Jess said while starting to laugh a little bit.
"Is that so..." I said.
"Why? You spoiling for another fight?"
"Yeah...."
"Well, all right, but don't be surprised if you lose again!" Jess said with a wink in her eye.
"I won't."
She and I hugged each other tightly, then she said goodbye and left.
As I watched Jess leave, I smiled and said, "What a strong girl...."
I looked to the right and saw my armor sitting there on the chair. In the stomach part of the armor, there was an
open part, where Jess used that Kamehameha wave.
I leaned forward, picked it and raised it up above my head, and slowly slipped it on. I also reached toward another
chair, and put on my two buster guns, and my pair of boots.I then reached into my pocket and grabbed a thin remote
control with two buttons on it, one blue and one red. I pressed the red one, and all of a sudden, the armor
that I was wearing, and the boots and buster gun that I was wearing only a minute ago dissappeared into thin air.
"At this point in the training, these items are dead weight to me."
* * *
After 3 days of rest, the Saiyan Blood in me had restored my body and I felt stronger then ever. However, I was
supposed to be in Bulma's care for 1 whole week. I told her that I need to train as soon as I could and she
sighed and told me to 'go ahead'.
Jesscheaux, Reyanne, Piccolo, Yamcha, Goku, Chi Chi, and Gohan were all standing outside the Capsule Corp entrance,
waiting for me to walk out.
* * *
While I was walking towards the entrance of my room, Bulma and Vegeta escorted me. I was wearing a white T-Shirt
and dark blue cargo shorts, preferring to wear something light and easy to move in instead of strong and heavy.
"So, Steven, what are you going to do now?" Bulma said.
"What do you mean? I said.
"Well, you haven't have enough time for your blood to rebuild itself, and the Saiyan Blood could cause...."
"SAIYAN BLOOD?!" yelled Vegeta suddenly, "Woman, what have you done?!!!"
"Um...yeah..." I bent my head, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed.
Bulma was not to be outyelled, however, "YES SAIYAN BLOOD, VEGETA! What did you want me to do, just let
poor Steven DIE? I had to use Goku's blood to SAVE HIS LIFE!!!!"
"YOU USED KAKAROTT'S BLOOD?! ARE YOU INSANE?! Even though he's a 3rd class baka, the 'human' here isn't worthy
to carry the blood of such a noble warrior race!"
Vegeta glared at me once again; "Impossible!" He yelled, then he pushed me against the wall and said close to my face,
"You are still a mere human to me, no matter if you have Saiyan Blood in you, and you will never be stronger than I!"
For some odd reason, I smirked and bluffed, "We'll see about that."
Vegeta walked back to his room, feeling quite angry about this whole blood issue. Me and Bulma kept walking along.
"Anyway, before my husband rudely interrupted, I was saying that you haven't had enough time for your own blood to rebuild
itself, and the Saiyan Blood could really affect your body for the worse. After all, you do have an alien's blood
in you." She said.
"Well....I'm afraid there is nothing we can do now but wait and see. I don't want to waste anymore time in the
hospital. I want to train and get stronger for these Ultra Mavericks, and if I don't use every moment I have to
train, we barely stand a chance."
Bulma shook her head, "Well, I guess that's true...." She took a deep breath, and kept her head bent, wondering
what could happen to me without proper supervision.
When we left the hospital, Jess was the first one to run to me and give me a BIG hug. She was so happy because I
felt so much better after our last battle, and also, because I totally forgave her, which surprised her somewhat.
Piccolo stared and felt just a little bit of jealousy, but after what he told Jesscheaux, he would usually make
sure to think of Jess first instead of his jealousy.
I hugged her back, and we stayed at Capsule Corp for at least a few more minutes...
* * *
Late that night, at Dende's lookout, Goku, Gohan, and I were meditating. Jess suggested that I learn how to use
my SSJ powers as soon as I could, so it'd be best if I train with Goku and Gohan from now on. If I tried to train
with Vegeta, he would surely try and attack me because he thinks I'm still a 'mere human.'
"Concentrate, Steven. Focus on your Saiyan Blood. Focus on the thing that makes you most powerful. Focus on the
aftermath of the big fight coming up."
I did, and thought about it. I thought about the Saiyans and who they were, I thought about me and my friends, and
I thought of me, Jess, and everyone else celebrating because we had defeated the Ultra Mavericks once and for all.
Thinking of just that, soon, I felt my body becoming stronger. I felt my hair begin to stand on it's own, and when
I opened my eyes, Goku and Gohan were in Super Saiyan form, and apparently, so was I.
I stood up and stretched.
"Is that's how it's done, Goku?"
"It's the basics. You'd have to have a few months of training to learn how to use your Super Saiyan form just like
that." Goku snapped his fingers.
"So if I think of those things, I should be able to change into a Super Saiyan, right?" I said.
He nodded his head.
"Okay! I think I got it!"
Goku and Gohan gestured that they wanted to train with me. I nodded my head. We jumped off of Dende's lookout and
flew toward an empty spot in the world.
Jess walked toward the edge of the lookout because we had suddenly left. She smiled and noticed I was in SSJ form.
Even though I never heard it, she yelled, "Go, Steven!"
* * *
"Ugh!"
Vegeta stepped back, holding his stomach and looked up.
I was standing there with my leg thrusted out in SSJ form. I lifted it higher to stretch it out and placed it on
the ground. I smirked, which caused Vegeta to grow angrier.
"Blast it! I can't be defeated by him! He's not even a real Super Saiyan! A mere human can never defeat the Prince
of All Saiyans!"
"Oh? Then who am I then? I'm what you call a mere human, yet I'm defeating you." I said, making Vegeta growl again.
"That's it!" Vegeta thrusted both of his arms and made a fist with both hands.
"FINAL FLASH!!!!!"
From his hands, Vegeta's trademark move, Final Flash, suddely shot out from his hands toward me. I stood there,
at first a bit frightened, then I smirked and jumped high in the air at the last second. The huge Ki Beam flew
all the way toward a hill, and the hill exploded!
Vegeta stood there unfazed by the wind and dust resulting from the blast. Suddenly, he felt someone kick him hard
in the back. Vegeta fell to the ground and skidded until he came to a stop. He looked up and he saw me, finishing
another backflip before I landed on the ground.
He got up, ran up to me, and threw a flurry of punches and kicks at me. I dodged everyone of them and soon, I
grabbed his right arm, pulled it to the left, and punched him in the stomach. Vegeta's breath was knocked away
and he fell on my shoulder.
I let Vegeta down and let him lie on the ground, still holding his stomach in.
"Nice one, Vegeta. But I'm afraid that I got the best of you today."
I walked off toward the side, where everyone else was just staring at me with a gaped jaw. I looked at everyone
and sweatdropped.
"What?"
* * *
It has been nearly 1 week since Jess took me to Capsule Corp. and tried to keep me alive. Three days of that week, I
was resting in bed and letting Bulma examine me further to make sure I was doing fine. The next 2 days after that,
Goku and Gohan helped me learn how to control my Super Saiyan powers. I spent the weekend training with Goku
and Gohan and also, Vegeta challenged me to a fight! Somehow, I won, which was an amazing feat.
Now only two more weeks remain. I've got to stop freeloading, get off this chair and get back to work. The fate of
the entire world rests on our shoulders, and if we fail, we shall have the blood of everyone in the world on our hands...
* * *
I dashed forward, lunging at Goku, who was in SSJ Form. I had decided to not train in SSJ Form for now since it would
improve my overall power if I trained in my normal form.
We were training back at Dende's lookout since we all agreed it'd be the best place for everyone to train. Vegeta,
Piccolo, and Gohan were watching. Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu were busy training with each other. Jess had walked off
somewhere--I didn't know where.
Goku stood on one foot and lifted his knee, trying to knee me in the chin. To his surprise, I thrusted my arms forward,
threw his knee down and lifting me off the ground a little. I attempted a backflip and thrusted my legs up, kicking Goku
in the face.
I didn't make the flip, but I landed on my hands and did a front flip, landing back on my feet. Goku wasn't angry,
but he was a bit irritated. He wiped the blood off his lip and dashed forward at me.
He pulled his arm back and threw a punch at me. I leapt out of the way, barely dodging him. As I was in the air, I
landed on one foot, and thrusted my leg backward, kicking Goku in the back and making him fall to the ground. He
leapt to his feet, and raised his fists. He dashed at me and pulled his arm back. Before he had a chance to
punch me, Jess yelled from across, "Guys! Lunch is ready!"
Me and Goku stopped fighting and looked at each other. We dashed to the kitchen, ready to chow down!
While everyone was walking over to the kitchen, Jess was already serving us. She gave me one bowl of rice with a
little meat in it while she gave Goku 3 bowls of rice with LOTS of meat in it.
While Goku was eating the 1st bowl, I grabbed my bowl and quickly gobbled down the food. As soon as I was done, I
said, "Hey Jess! Could I have some more?"
She stood there a bit surprised.
(How can he eat so fast? Well, he does have the blood of a Saiyan, and I guess the appetite was inherited too...)
She thought, then she brought me 4 more bowls. She brought Goku more bowls of rice with the same amount of food as
mine had.
As Jess brought more bowls in, everyone showed up. Gohan and Vegeta joined in the feast while Goku and I were
continuing to devour many more bowls of rice.
As we 4 ate, everyone stood there, wide eyed. Jess was still surprised, but she was even more surprised that she
could giggle at me because of my appetite all of a sudden. She continued to serve us 4 while we kept eating.
Piccolo stared at us with a new look of disgust. "Oh great....another one...." He took a deep breath and turned
his head away.
* * *
The next few days, I continued to train under Goku's supervision. Because of it, I had progressed to a new
level of martial arts.
The 2nd Week went by really fast and I ended up fighting among the most elite of fighters. I had defeated
everyone, save Goku, Gohan, Jesscheaux, and Reyanne. Goku and Reyanne were among my equal in power. Gohan was a little
more stronger than me, but I was able to hold my own. As for Jesscheaux....
I had wanted to fight her in battle ever since I got out of the hospital. Even though I had apologized, I really
wanted to pay back the debt I owed her from that last match. I wanted to defeat her in combat or at least be her equal
because she really overpowered me and I didn't want that to happen again. I wanted to defeat her so that I
could be certain that I can defeat the Ultra Mavericks....
* * *
It was the beginning of the 3rd week. Everyone had gathered up to the Hyberbolic Time Chamber, ready to train for
one whole year.
Reyanne and Yamcha were the 1st to enter the chamber. They walked in, and closed the door. They won't see us for a
whole year, but they'll get through.
As everyone continued to train, Jess and Piccolo were talking to each other.
"Perfect opportunity..."
I walked up to Jess and tapped her shoulder. She turned and saw me smiling.
"Hi Steven. What's up?"
"Well....we never did finish our match, ya know." I rubbed the back of my head. "You wanna fight again?"
She looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and smirked, "Sure! I'll fight you again, but don't be surprised if you lose!
He he he..."
I smiled slyly and said, "We'll see about that."
Me, Jess, and Piccolo suddenly leapt off Dende's lookout and begin to fly toward an empty plain at the bottom of
the huge tower. As we were flying down, Jess yelled, "Whoo! I love to fly! What a rush!" I looked up and smiled.
(Looks like she cheered up.) I thought as I continued to fly towards the ground.
I landed on the ground gently. I stretched my arms apart and got into battle position. Jess got into battle position
too, and Piccolo stood to the side, watching the fight.
I flexed my arms tightly, and begin to increase my overall power. Soon, my body shined with a yellow and white aura
as my hair spiked up and turned yellow. I had changed into a Super Saiyan again!
"Okay, Jess. Ready!"
Jesscheaux ran up to me and jumped off the ground. She then flew towards me and she thrusted her arm at me and
opened her hand, releasing an invisible, but incredibly fast ki blast.
I knew what this was. It was a basic tech known as a 'kiai.' It was when you used a quick amount of energy to shoot
at the opponent, causing him to be pushed back quite a distance.
I saw this coming and held out my hand, countering the kiai with a stronger blast. I felt a small shockwave come from
the impact of both blasts and felt a small, but strong wind pushing my hair and clothes back.
I looked up and saw Jess drop from above with her hands held apart, releasing another ki blast at me. I turned sideways
and flew upward. Since I was standing sideways, Jess's ki blast missed me, and I ended up headbutting her in the stomach.
She flew back in pain as I did a back flip, kicking her in the chin in the process. I also dashed up as soon as I was
finished with the backflip, and grabbed her neck. I flew upward a little, then dropped to the ground, pushing Jess into
the ground. I jumped back, and saw her get up; she looked really mad at me now.
"Ergh!!" Jess literally growled at me as she began to flex her own arms, increasing her power. She was going to go
Legendary when she suddenly thought, (Wait! I don't want to hurt Steven like last time....I'll just play with him a
little more and make this match fun...)
"HERE I COME!" She yelled.
Jess dashed at me again with a very thick aura surrounding her. She pulled her fist back and screamed, ready to punch
me hard in the face. I smiled, closed my eyes, and sidestepped, avoiding her. I said with a gentle laugh,
"Need a little practice, eh?"
Jess suddenly began to grow angrier by the minute. She jumped back, and continued to try and hit me by punching at
me randomly. I yelled, "Hey! Try something else! Your moves are too predictable! If you don't change your tactics,
you'll never win!"
"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT!" She threw another punch at me, but I raised my fist and caught it dead on. I smiled at
her, and punched her hard in the stomach. Jess took a small breath, then fell to her knees, clutching her stomach
tightly. I took a step back and said, "Giving up?"
Jess stood up slowly, holding her stomach in, and to my surprise, she thrusted her arms back and forth, shooting many
kiai blasts, causing me to be pushed back at the base of Dende's lookout, and I was being pushed into the tower. After
she was done, she took many deep breaths as I fell onto the ground, but quickly got up.
"Not bad, Jess. I wasn't expecting that." I wiped the blood off my lip. "But if kiais are all you got, you may as well quit."
"WHAT?! THAT'S IT! GRRRR!!!!!"
Jess suddenly crossed her arms, and then spread them apart, flexing them even more. Soon, her aura grew more and more
visibile and brighter. Jess's power increased to an incredible level as her body began to suddenly change color in
seconds, making her skin look like an intertwining rainbow. Her hair was pushed up by an invisible force as it began
to change silver and move on up her long hair, changing it from purple to silver. Her wings soon opened up
and spread out and far as it can. She let out a loud scream as she relaxed her muscles, causing her hair to be let
down and for her to finally relax.
I was surprised once again, for seeing Jesscheaux transform was still an amazing sight to me. I bluffed even more
and lifted my index and middle fingers, gesturing her to come at me. She grew angrier, and dashed at me. She flew up a
little, lifted her knee, and kneed me in the chin, making me fall back. Before I can even hit the ground, Jess was
already behind me, and held my neck with one hand; punching me hard in the back continuously. I felt the pain, yet it
seemed disconnected from me, as though it were someone else's pain. Finally, I lifted my arm and elbowed Jess in the stomach,
then I leapt off the ground, turned around and gave her a hard kick in the face, causing her to skid across the floor.
"Hmmm...I guess it's time to try out my new theory."
I got on my knees why Jess was still skidding, and I began to pray, praying for my Angel Wings to come out. I imagined
the thought and image of of me, standing up with my Angel Wings spread out and I was in Super Saiyan form as well.
I prayed long and hard on that image.
As soon as Jess got up, she noticed me praying.
"What can he be doing? He's trying to change into his Angel Form while he is in SSJ Form! He can't do that!"
She was to be proven wrong because soon, a transparent image of Angel Wings appeared on my back. Then, the transparent
image became solid as the wings began to form on my back. My body grew with a white/yellowish aura. Jess looked at me
in total surprise. She had not expected me to change into my Angel Form, and my power had risen tremendously, so much that
it even rivaled her power.
As soon as I was done praying, I got up and let my majestic wings spread out, shining with a faint light which
emanated from the wings. Jess stepped back, but bent her left leg back and stretched out her right leg, showing me
that she was ready for an incoming attack.
I raised my hand and opened it, suddenly releasing a ki blast at Jesscheaux. She saw this coming, but it was moving
faster than she thought, and she ended up immediately slapping it out of the way, causing her hand to twitch because of
the stinging pain it caused. Suddenly, I dashed at her and gave her a hard punch to the face, causing her to fly across
the field. I then teleported in front of Jesscheaux and gave her a hard kick upward.
Jess flew up in the air and eventually came to a halt. She was so angry by this that she decided to release all her
energy upon me with a Kamehameha attack. She placed her hands together, and began to call out the attack's name. When
she was done, she thrusted her hands forward, releasing one of the strongest Kamehamewa waves she ever had.
I looked up and was going to shoot a ki blast out of my buster gun, but it was no use. I didn't have my buster gun
with me, and it would take too much time to get the remote and change into my armor, buster guns, and boots. I decided
it was time to use an actual ki technique without any help from a Buster Gun or sword.
I placed my hands together, beginning to summon both my Holy and and my ki energy to the space between my hands. Soon,
a sphere of these two types of energy began to form. As I began to state the attack's name, I could feel the warmth of the
sphere in my hands.
"Ka....me...ha....me....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I felt the heat of the energy sphere grow a little warmer as I thrusted my arms forward with my hands wide open,
changing the small sphere into a huge Ki Beam, heading directly towards Jesscheaux. Soon, both of the beams collided
and began to push at each other. Jess and I began to increase our power as both of the waves began to push at each other.
Soon, the power of these beams became so great and our power diminishing that we could not control these attacks any
longer. The beams exploded and caused a huge wind to suddenly appear, pushing us back either into the ground or up
in the air.
Jesscheaux, being pushed up higher, looked at me covering my eyes from all the excess wind being pushed into my face.
"He's the first person to withstand my Kamehameha attack! I don't believe it!" She exclaimed then felt sore all over.
"Oh great...I can't fight anymore...I've used up too much power on that attack..."
She flew down to the ground, near me, where I was no longer in Super Saiyan nor my Angel Form. I opened my eyes and
saw Jess standing there. I was a bit scared since I had used up most of my power in that one attack. I raised my fists,
trying to set up my guard when I felt a gentle touch on my right hand. It was Jess, holding my hand.
"You are really the first person to withstand my Kamehameha attack, and you are also the first person to rival my power.
Steven...thanks...for being my rival."
I blinked.
"Rival huh?" I thought. "Heh...I have a rival now....cool!"
I shook Jess' hand, and sat down with my legs crossed.
"Heh...looks like the great Jesscheaux finally met her match." said Piccolo with a broad smirk on his face.
Jess turned to him with a surprised look on her face. "Met my match?! HAHAHAHAHA! Never! No one can match my power!
Ever! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Jesscheaux continued to laugh about this, and me and Piccolo sweatdropped. I turned to him and said, "Looks like
she's back to normal."
"Yep."
* * *
Jess really wanted me to go in the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. She said that with more training, I could become stronger
than Goku! I thought she was trying to imply that I could be stronger than her, but she was way too proud to admit it.
"Nah, that's fine. I have training of a different kind." I said.
"What do you mean?"
I held out my hand, and soon, white bolts of energy began to form into a sphere. Jess saw it and said, "What's so
special about a ki sphere?"
"This isn't a ki sphere. This is a sphere of magical energy."
"Magical?"
"Yes. Remember when we were at Reyanne's house, and I healed Yamcha? Well, that was my magic. In fact, that Angel and
Demon transformation was a result of magical power."
To my surprise, Jess turned her head at me. "Psh...magic. Magic's okay, but it won't be as good as fighting someone
with energy attacks and brute strength!"
"Well...okay, but magic does have it's benefits, and I need to train my magical side. I haven't had any practice
training my magical side, and I spent 2 weeks practicing my physical skills."
I walked to the edge of Dende's lookout and waved goodbye. I leapt off the lookout, and flew to a nearby waterfall.
When I got there, I teleported myself directly below the waterfall, so that the water would be falling towards me. I
floated in the air, had my hands clasped together, and began to meditate. This is supposed to be a special faith
healer's mediation which can increase magical and religious power quite a bit.
From Dende's lookout, Jess thought to herself, (Steve..you're missing out on this.)
Piccolo walked up to her and said, "Where did he go?"
"To someplace out there in that area of land." She pointed toward a series of mountains.
"He's just wasting his time training out in the wild. He should have stayed here."
"Yeah, but I don't want to force him. He's just going to have to deal with his own abilities his own way, I suppose."
"Speaking of, shouldn't we get in the chamber, Jesscheaux?"
"Yes, let's go."
Jess and Piccolo were next to go into the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. The door closed, and they would be training together
for a whole year.
Meanwhile, time went much faster for me as I floated up and down the waterfall, meditating, and entering a blissful,
quiet state of mind where everything was calm, quiet, and peaceful.
* * *
For the rest of the week, everyone spent time training in the Hyberbolic Time Chamber. Goku and Gohan were in one
group, Chaotzu and Tien in another, Yamcha and Reyanne spent time with eachother, Piccolo and Jesscheaux were another
group, and Vegeta, acting so selfish, went in by himself. I, however, spent the week, floating up and down the
waterfall, gaining much mental strength.
When I teleported myself out of the waterfall, my body was immensely cold, however, I felt much more at peace with
myself, and I my mind felt stronger than before. I flew back to Dende's lookout, where everyone was basically talking,
training, and resting.
Jess was the first one that I talked to.
"So, did you have fun spending all your time freezing yourself? Because you are kinda wet. Did you meditate under a
huge waterfall?"
"How'd you guess?" I said, realizing that I was soaking wet.
"I can tell where you were by sensing your ki. Why'd you do that, anyway?"
"Well, I heard it was an extreme test for magic-users and faith healers if they did that sort of meditation, and if
you survive, you become much stronger mentally."
"I see...."
I flexed my arms, and summoned a warm aura around me. Soon, my clothes became dry instantly. I placed my hand behind my
head and sweatdropped.
********Jesscheaux*********
I chuckled at my rival as he sweatdropped. Yes, I said rival....but I swear I'll get stronger than him...and then I'll
have NO rival! HAHAHAHA! Er....yes as I was saying. We were gearing up for the U Mavericks and our training was
mostly done by now. I'm so glad that Steven was ok. It would've killed me had he died....anyway! No more focusing on
the past. EXCEPT, Steve beat Vegeta! It was great! That arrogant saiyan baka had it coming to him! GO STEVEN!
Oh right! I was talking about the training. Well, it went rather well, especially the time chamber training and also
brought the people that went in together closer and for the married couples it was almost a 2nd honeymoon..hehehe.
Piccolo and I had finally gotten over our fight completely and it was a huge relief. It really killed me to be
separated like that. I smiled as I felt his hand come to rest on my shoulder and I put my hand over his.
"Hey..." I trailed off while staring at the swiftly setting sun.
"Hi." he answered me and then I leaned against him and sighed. We watched the sunset together, Piccolo's cape blowing
in the wind. As the last rays were vanishing, my husband turned me around and looked deep into my eyes. He caressed my
violet hair and I could feel my eyes filling up with tears of happiness.
"Oh Piccolo....I love you..." I breathed softly as I leaned up to kiss my beloved.
"I love you too, Jesscheaux..." he answered and our lips met in a soft kiss.
Looking back, I realize just how peaceful it truly was before the villains came along. I was always training most of the
time and never really enjoying every moment of life. Training will always be a priority to me, but somehow I knew that
there was something more. More important. Family. Friends. All the good things in life. We never really appreciate
them until they're gone.
Well, enough of that mush! We're going into battle again.... I've been on earth for nearly two years, the best two years
of my life, and already another villain to fight. I guess Goku really wasn't kidding when he told us about the other battles
they were in. But you know what? I think that we're ready. The Z warriors and Steve (whom I dubbed an honorary Z warrior)
have trained as much as we can. But will it be enough? Only time will tell...
