Authors Notes: Hi! This is the rewrite of Dimensional Destiny: The Dragonball Z chapters. I found that it wasn't very well written as the other chapters, so I decided to rewrite them. I hope you readers don't mind! Also, people will be out of character at times...We aren't gifted enough to capture their personality perfectly. We apologize.
Disclaimer: We don't own Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, or Sailor Moon. However, we own Rika, Miryo, Pota and Kenja so no touchy.

Rika tried to enter Miryo's room, but it was locked. Determined to see what was wrong with Miryo, she knocked. "You okay?"
No response.
"Miryo? You there?"
"...Yeah..."
Miryo quietly opened the door. Rika entered, as Miryo relocked the door.
"So, what's bugging you?"
"Kenja's comment," Miryo simply replied.
"But he always teases you like that, why are you so mad this time?"
"Trunks...it's serious this time. It's life and death and I'm worried. Kenja just seems inconsiderate."
"Well you know Kenja, he doesn't show much consideration."
There was a 'bump' and a quiet "says who?" at the door. Rika switched to telepathy, directing her message only to Miryo. -Heh, they're trying to listen in on us. He gets worried too, you know? He is considerate, at times; it just doesn't show as often or as clearly.-
-I guess.-
There were more hushed voices at the door and another loud 'bump'.
-They're still at it...- Rika sighed telepathically. -...But Miryo, do you like Trunks?-
-I don't,- Miryo said. Rika searched her face to see if she was lying, but couldn't find an answer. -Seriously Rika, I don't like him. He's a friend, and I'm just worried for his safety.-
-Alright, then.-
-
"Kenja!" Pota hissed as his friend bumped his head on the door.
"Sorry! Do you think I want to hit my head on the door?"
"In fact, yes. But they definitely know we're here now. Let's take a walk."
"A walk?"
"You know, where you take steps forward?" Pota chuckled as he stood up.
"I know that, but why are we going for a walk?" Kenja asked as he followed Pota's lead.
"Well, Krillen did tell me that the training is cancelled today due to Trunks' leaving, and he's gonna try and find a temporary mentor for Ryo. So we've got nothing to do."
The two boys slowly walked to the grassy field they had used for training. After walking far enough that they felt as if they were in the middle of nowhere, they stopped and sat down. Silence draped in between the two, but was quickly broken as Pota spoke, "You know, you should be more considerate of Ryo's feelings."
"What do you mean?" Kenja shifted in his sitting position.
"Well, she seemed pretty peeved when you made that comment about her and Trunks."
"But I always tease her about other boys, and just about everything else too," Kenja objected. "Why the sudden explosion?"
"I don't know...but we'll force it out of Rika later, if Miryo won't answer."
"What? Why Rika?"
"You really are clueless," Pota sighed in defeat. "The two are probably having some type of "girl-talk", so Rika would probably know why she's upset."
"Ah."
The two were attacked by silence again, and this time they remained quiet. The area was so peaceful, that they didn't feel like doing anything. Instead, they observed the training grounds, and the carnage of the wildlife there that they had made the day before.
Ten minutes later, Kenja turned to Pota who was slouched over with his eyes closed, quietly snoring.
"Hey man, you awake?" Kenja jabbed Pota's arm.
"Huh? Yeah, I am..." Pota rubbed his eyes as he sat up.
"Can you fly yet?" Kenja asked as he stood up, attempting to fly. "I almost got the hang of it. I've been practicing it yesterday, since I couldn't sleep."
"Kinda," Pota stood up as well, levitating. "Still can't move too much."
Kenja did a spin in mid air. "This is fun, you should practice more."
Kenja flew around above Pota, doing various flips.
"Wanna spar?" Kenja challenged, as he landed. "We'll see who is better."
"Bring it on," Pota smirked.
-
-I think they're gone now,- Miryo glanced at the door.
-Yeah I think so.-
After a few minutes of stillness, the two girls decided to check on the boys.
"Hey, I can slightly feel their ki's," Miryo looked around. "They're far from here."
"I think they're at their training grounds. I don't know where else they would go, without being close," Rika said as they headed towards the boys' training area.
The duo walked to the training grounds and saw Pota and Kenja exchanging punches and kicks, levitating off the ground. The two took a seat on the grass to watch the two spar. Both boys looked tired, but refused to give up. Kenja fly kicked Pota's head, sending him to the ground. Pota shot up in the air, showing off his improved flight skills as he kicked him in the shoulder in return. Pota broke away suddenly, and shot a powered up ki blast at Kenja, knocking him into the distance.
"Well, I guess that ends the match," Pota turned to Rika and Miryo and grinned. The victory was short lived as Kenja came charging at Pota, throwing a series of ki blasts, catching Pota off guard.
"Hey! I wasn't ready!" Pota dashed at Kenja, tackling the shorter boy down.
"Too bad! Solid Tiger Terrain!" Kenja shot his signature ki blast directly in Pota's face, sending him flying back.
"Aw man, I can't believe I lost to Kenja..." Pota jogged back to his friends as he recovered from the attack.
"Guess I'm the stronger one," Kenja smirked, dusting himself off.
After a short rest, the girls joined in them with sparring. None were surprised when Miryo began picking on Kenja. After trading punches with each other, Pota joined in and with Miryo, they teamed up and threw Kenja into a nearby tree.
"No fair, two on one!" Kenja griped.
"Got my revenge, so I'm happy," Pota shrugged as he began sparring with Miryo.
'Where's Rika?' Kenja wondered as he rubbed his head. He looked around and spotted Rika lurking in the nearby trees. With extraordinary speed, Rika sped out to the fighting duo and smacked Pota on the head, then disappeared from view again.
"Ow, what the..." Pota distanced himself from Miryo as he darted his eyes around, looking for Rika. In a blur of red, Pota was in a headlock by Rika.
"Didn't see that coming now, did you?" Rika tightened her arms around him.
Pota grabbed her arms and forced them apart, and threw her over his head. Rika grunted, as she entwined in her flight skills and stopped, inches before the ground. She quickly sped off in another direction, before Pota could continue attacking.
Miryo replaced Rika as she kneed Pota in the gut, and sent a solid punch to his head. Rika rejoined the brawl as the three began beating each other up. Kenja decided he wouldn't join in their fistfight, but flew above the clash and yelled out, "Solid Tiger Terrain!"
The muddy tiger tore through the air and scattered the three into different directions.
"Aw..." Pota stretched his aching neck. "Let's call it a day."
"Uh huh," Rika nodded as she picked herself up.
"I concur." Miryo hovered her hand over her cuts and bruises, as a blue light engulfed them, closing the wounds.
"Aw...you're lucky, you can heal yourself," Kenja pouted, a little envious of Miryo's powers.
"I'm just wondering how Rika can be so fast," Pota remarked as Miryo began healing a particularly large bruise on his head.
"I don't think this is the full potential of my healing powers," Miryo commented, as the blue light was drained, halfway through healing Pota's bruise.
"What? That's all you can do right now? Damn, this is gonna hurt tonight," Pota nursed his sore head.
"You know, even though we're nearly brothers and sisters, our powers are so different," Rika observed as they neared Capsule Corp.
"Yeah," Kenja agreed.
"At least where the other is weak, another is strong," Pota stated.
"Yep...then, we can help each other well," Rika smiled. "I'm off to rest, sparring really drains the energy out of you."
"See ya."
For the remainder of the day, the quartet rested and practiced their flight abilities by themselves.
