Uub woke up early the next morning. Since all the Saiyans had progressed to Super Saiyan Three or above, they had pretty much lost interest in the Room of Spirit and Time. Dendi had restricted training in there for them because the power overflow was doing quite a bit of damage to the Lookout. The extra-dimensional room simply could not hold the vast amounts of energy being employed by the Saiyans. So, they had started to go to the Nexus, and use the gravity rooms at Capsule Corp. Uub also trained at the Nexus, but today he had promised Kirillin that he would spend the next day/year in The Room of Spirit and Time with him. He and Kirillin met at the appointed time and place, and entered the mystical room.
"During the prime of my life, I increased my abilities as long as I worked at it." Kirillin said. "After a while though, I became discouraged at the slow progress I was making compared to the Saiyans, especially Goku. He was my best friend, and I just felt that as our abilities grew apart, so did our friendship."
"You know that Goku never felt that way Kirillin." Uub tried to console the little fighter. "Those years that he was training with me he mentioned you a lot! He used you as an example of what a warrior should be on numerous occasions. It was Kirillin this, and Kirillin that… It was almost nauseating."
"Really?" Kirillin said. "I can't tell you the number of times I thought Goku just forgot about me.
"C'mon Kirillin, you know Goku. He's not exactly the most thoughtful person where the social skills are concerned. He's forgetful, a bit clueless, and downright rude at times, but who would be the first to your side if there was any trouble?" Uub asked.
"Kirillin thought about this and smiled. "You're right. Goku would be there in a flash! I guess I just missed him after the whole Shenlon thing."
"I know Kirillin, we all missed him. Even Vegeta did, if you could get him to admit it." Uub said.
Kirillin smiled. "Ok then, the next question of the day. If humans are Saiyans, why can't humans get as strong as a Saiyan? Or can they?"
"Well, you heard Tao Kaioshin. He removed our tails and stripped us of our powers." Uub said. "What all of that means I don't really know."
"Hmmm… I guess that it will at the top of the questions I have for Tao Kaioshin the next time I see him." Kirillin smiled. "It's just been so long since I've felt that I've made any sort of difference in combat. I sure would like to be something more than a cheerleader this time."
"Well, let's get to training and see what we can do." Uub smiled.
"Right! Let's do it!" Kirillin said excitedly.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Nexus shows us what we need to see. Apparently it also changes the environment to what we need to be in. As everyone gets stronger, the pull of the various planets, moons, stars, etc also increases, making training more difficult by the day. Yambia and Nappa were fighting it out on a lifeless, medium sized planet while Vegeta and Goku watched.
"They're good!" Goku said. "Yambia is holding her own quite well against Nappa."
"Nappa hasn't gone into Super Saiyan Three yet, but I don't think that Yambia has pushed herself to the limits with her mystic form yet either." Vegeta said.
Suddenly, Nappa was kicked from the sky to go sailing into a mountain. Nappa screamed his rage and went Super Saiyan Three. Nappa then launched a vicious assault on Yambia. Yambia was getting pummeled into the planet's bedrock. Suddenly a scream escaped Yambia's lips and the planet began to rock and shake, then split apart below Nappa. Then the world became a golden glow.
Before them, in all the debris, floated Mystic Super Saiyan Three Yambia. The planet was toast and slowly breaking up. Yambia extended her hand and the planet came back together, whole and undamaged.
"Alright you big ape. I'm gonna……." Yambia started.
Nappa had noticed something, the planet had a moon, and it was full.
"Hey, what's wrong Nappa?" Yambia said as she turned to look where Nappa was staring.
Vegeta seen was happening. "Yambia, don't look!!" But it was too late. Both combatants were going Ouzaru. Nappa's roar could be heard for miles.
"Umm.. Will these guys have control over their Ape forms like you did?" Goku asked.
"I don't know! Nappa was always a real berserker type when he went Ouzaru, and I don't know about Yambia." Vegeta answered.
Nappa's transformation was complete, and he was roaring and releasing his power, reveling in his power in a very uncontrolled manner. The planet was starting to break apart again. His fur was golden and he was glowing brightly.
"It doesn't look like Nappa is in control. We may have to blast that moon." Goku said.
Yambia's transformation was also complete. She was, however, in complete control, but also reveling in the power.
"This is incredible!" Yambia shouted above the din of the dying planet.
"Wait Kakkarot! Don't destroy the moon yet!" Vegeta said as he flew to a spot in front of Nappa's enormous face.
"Nappa!! NAPPA! Get control of yourself!!" Vegeta commanded.
The break up of the planet suddenly accelerated as Nappa opened his mouth and shot a beam of pure power straight at Vegeta. Vegeta immediately went Super Saiyan Four and batted the power away with the back of his hand.
"Listen to me Nappa!!" Vegeta warned.
Vegeta's sudden power surge caught the attention of the huge Ouzaru, something flickered in Nappa's mind. "My prince?" Nappa's booming voice managed to say.
"That's it Nappa! Concentrate! Force yourself back to your Saiyan form!" Vegeta commanded.
A moment of confusion wavered in Nappa's ebony eyes, then a look of concentration as he began to shrink, ever smaller… until Super Saiyan Four Nappa stood on the crumbling planet. Super Saiyan Four complete with a head full of ebony hair.
"You did it!" Goku exclaimed.
"Yeah! I did…" Nappa was busy looking himself over.
Yambia was still in her Ouzaru form. She hadn't felt like this since she was a little girl and her father had gone to a celebration that only happened once every eight years on Vegeta-sai, with the full moon. She was given strict orders to stay inside, but she couldn't help herself. She went out and gazed at the full moon and went Ouzaru. This is the very epitome of being Saiyan! The very essence of what Saiyan is! She only wished that Roger were here to share this with her. Then she felt the planet breaking up again and extended her great paw to repair it. She willed it back together and whole again. It seemed to be a natural power of the mystic side of her. Then someone was talking to her. "Vegeta?" Yambia's voice was quite feminine, but booming and deep at the same time.
"Yes Yambia, it's me. Do what I say, alright?" Vegeta asked.
"Sure Vegeta. But I'm in control, there's nothing to worry about." Yambia said.
"I know, but your power isn't as controlled as you think. It's tearing the planet apart again." Vegeta said.
Yambia looked down, and sure enough the planet was cracking through the core once again. "Ok, what do you want me to do?"
Concentrate on your form. Force yourself back down into your Saiyan form.
Yambia concentrated, but nothing happened at first. She redoubled her efforts and started to shrink. She became smaller and smaller until she too stood as a Super Saiyan Four.
Goku's jaw dropped. "Mystic Super Saiyan Four!"
Yambia's hair was waist length, ebony black with a lightening bolt of white running from over her left brow, over her head, down and across to the right side of her waist. She looked grim and determined.
Piccolo and the rest of the Z-Warriors in the Nexus had come to a place behind Goku and were awestruck at the recent developments.
"Hehehe… Roger's going to get a surprise when he gets back." Yambia snickered to herself after extending her hand and healing the planet one last time. Then her hand came back to her stomach while she got a shocked look in her face. "Oops! It looks like Roger is going to get two suprises when he gets back."
Goku extended his senses, concentrated a bit, and smiled.
Piccolo could scarcely believe the power he was feeling from Yambia. "I-it's incredible!"
"I would hardly describe myself as an 'it' green bean." Yambia smiled. "But thanks just the same."
"So, where were we?" Nappa said as he attacked Yambia once again.
"Wait a minute, I can't have you fighting like that." Yambia raised her hand and completely healed Nappa and restored his energy. Even though he had made the Super Saiyan Four transformation, the Ouzaru transformation had seriously drained him.
"Whoa! That is much better. Thanks!" Nappa said.
"No problem big man, now look out because here I come!" Yambia yelled as she took off towards Nappa.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Several hours later, on the other side of town, Yambia and Nappa landed in front of a modest ranch style home.
"Tell me again why we are coming here Yambia. Shouldn't Roger be with you when you do this?" Nappa said.
"Yes, he should, but he's training with the Ultimate Kai right now and I need some… family." Yambia said.
"Well Yambia, you know that the Z-Warriors are pretty good family when it comes right down to it." Nappa said.
"I know Nappa, but this is different." Yambia said.
"I still can't believe that you went on sparing with me when you found out that you were…" Nappa started.
"Believe me Nappa, if there was any way I thought you could hurt me, I would have stopped.' Yambia smiled.
"Well now I feel insulted!" Nappa scowled.
"Don't let it bother you big man." Yambia gave Nappa's arm a squeeze.
"Okay." Nappa smiled. "Just why am I here again?"
"Moral support big man, in case these scene turns ugly." Yambia said.
"Sure, I'll wait out here until you need me then." Nappa smiled. Nappa was fast beginning to think of the Universes one and only full blooded female Saiyan in a fatherly sort of way. His own children having been destroyed on Vegeta-sai, he was trying to fill that void with Yambia. He had even went so far as to think of himself as 'Grandpa Nappa' to Yambia's unborn child.
"Ok, here goes then." Yambia stepped up to the door. She wasn't entirely sure how to proceed until she noticed a small button on the door frame facing her. After looking to make sure her tail was tucked away and out of sight, she pressed it and was awarded with a very short, melodic, chorus of bells. "We don't want to present these people with too many shocks all at once." She thought. No one answered the door so she looked around the yard. It was well kept and mowed, with small statues placed in various tasteful locations. There was what appeared to be a glass tank with some sort of seed in it, it appeared that it was either designed to feed birds, or the birds were robbing it, some were fighting over prime locations to grab the seeds. There was also a large box up on a pole with several holes in it that the birds seemed to be using as a nesting area. The entire yard was alive with the sounds of the birds, and their calling cards if you weren't to careful about where you stepped.
"Maybe they're not home?" Nappa said.
"Their car is in the driveway." Yambia noticed.
A sudden shrill sound came from the back of the house.
"Ah.. They must be out back." Yambia said.
"Ok, let's go then." Nappa said as he started to lift himself skyward to go over the house."
"Whoa there big man, let's just walk around. Wouldn't want to scare the yokels." Yambia smiled.
Yambia and Nappa walked around to the other side of the car port and around the house where they encountered gate in a chain length fence. A rather large German Sheppard was standing with his paws on top of the fence looking the strangers over.
Nappa ignored the "beware of dog" sign to reach over and pet the canine. The dog bit Nappa's hand. The dog immediately sweatdropped and released Nappa's hand, howling.
"Hehehehe… Not as soft as you're used to, eh dog?" Nappa chuckled.
Nappa opened the gate and walked in with Yambia. The shrill sound still in the air. As they passed the dog, Nappa reached down and tried to pet it again. The dog allowed it without incident.
"There now! That's better!" Nappa said. The dog opened it's mouth to pant, baring several loose teeth.
Nappa and Yambia rounded back of the car port and came across a man who seemed to be in the middle of a construction job of some sort. The shrill sound was a skill saw cutting through plywood. A woman was busy measuring the next piece to cut. The man turned ready to make the next cut when he noticed Nappa and Yambia standing in front of him.
Both the man and the woman stopped mid-stride.
"Who the hell are you and how did you get back here??" The man, an older version of Roger before he became a Saiyan, looked back over his shoulder to see where his wife was. "Mimi! Go inside and call the police! Where is that good for nothing dog of mine! Bo!"
Bo was along side the carport with his paws on top of his head. He knew he was in trouble.
"Please sir, let us explain. We mean you no harm. We're here about Roger." Yambia said.
"Roger! You know where Roger is!" The woman spoke up.
"Yes, we do." Yambia said. "Although you might not like the answer, or even believe it for that matter."
"Stop being so cryptic and tell us flat out where our son is! The last we heard he was going on a short space journey of some sort and would be back in less than two weeks! We haven't heard from him since and we are worried sick!" Mimi was almost in tears.
"Okay. Roger has been chosen by the Ultimate Kai to train to fight a grave evil that is threatening our plane of existence." Yambia said flat out. "We don't know how long he will be gone."
Blank stares.
"Do you expect us to believe that?" Roger's father almost chuckled.
"Yes, and I can prove it." Yambia removed the Crystal ball that Raditz let her borrow.
"There, that is Roger." Yambia gestured towards the ball.
Both parents stared disbelieving into the ball. His hair was different, and even through the clothes they could tell he was more buff, but the body language, facial features, and the laugh could only belong to one person. There was also some other men, a little girl, a strange looking green guy, and a guy that looked like a Kai had been described to them as children. The Kai suddenly turned towards them and said. "Hey Roger, your parents are watching."
"What?? Mom? Dad? Where?" Roger twirled around trying to find his parents.
"Through the crystal ball." Tao Kaioshin said. "Yambia is trying to explain things to them."
"What?? Why?" Roger said.
"Hehehe.. That's enough for now." Tao Kaioshin said as the ball went blank.
Roger's parents stood there silent for a few minutes. His father finally broke the silence. "Ok, so that answers the question of where Roger is, and he's safe thank goodness!! Now who are you and how did our son get to the Ultimate Kai's to train to fight? Last thing we knew, he was working himself through college! But first things first, who are you?"
"I am Roger's mate." Yambia said flatly. "I suppose you would call me his wife."
Mimi fainted into her husband's arms.
