As far back as she could remember training had always been the driving force in her life. Her sensei Tora had taught her to fight using strategy and not just brute force. She smiled at the memory of gaining the upper hand in one of their spars and knocking Tora out proving that she had what it takes to advance her training. And Today was that day; her training now would consist of sparing with the other kids. She showered quickly and pulled on her usual outfit consisting of black baggy pants and green tank top. She was just tying off her braid as she gave her reflection a once over. Unlike a majority of Saiyans her hair was easy to tame. She noted also how strange she must seem to the adults with her silvery white hair and jade green eyes which sparkled with glee as her white tail lashed about behind her.

strange indeed she thought to herself as she rushed out the door bumping into a rather tall figure. She peered up at the figure giggling, it was Tora she was very tall and intimidating woman though her eyes were soft and gentle.

"Up already I see", Tora stated with a raised brow and a trade mark smirk.

"Ohayo Tora! Can we go now?!"

Tora simply shook her head grinning and then add

"Common then my bundle of energy"

They made their way through the camp towards a cluster of training domes, six in all, three on either side each with a viewing window to the entrance. They stopped at the last two.

"Here you are" Tora waved her arm to the right, Leaving her charge "I'll meet up with you later"

"Hai" she replied waving and once Tora was out of site she entered the dome. From the outside the inside seemed small, but it was huge it defied all logic.

"Curious as ever…A' Ria?"

She looked to the center of the room and saw a young boy grinning at her and found herself grinning too.

"Oi! Mouko I didn't know I'd be sparring with you"

He simply nodded and got into a fighting stance "Ready?"

Getting into her own stance, her expression serious with a smirk "Of course"

He flew at her with a right hook mere seconds before he hit she dodged and jumped to the center watching him compose himself his back to her he turned grinning mischievously at her

"This is gonna be fun"

Meanwhile an ominous shadow loomed over Vegeta-sei... Frieza had come and only Bardock knew why.

The spar was a nonstop thrill, Ria was completely enjoying it. When something sparked her senses and she stopped mid stride, barley avoiding Mouko's punch, she had that vacant look and her eyes were unfocused till it hit, wave after wave of pure unyielding pain she grimaced and clutched her throbbing head, dropping to her knees

Mouko saw her eyes, she had stopped mid stride what is she doing he thought then he saw her face grimace with pain and she gripped her head.

"Ria!?" he rushed to catch her as she fell, the moment their skin touched he could feel it, the waves of pain. is this what she is feeling? he wondered gritting his teeth against the pain.

Her whole being shook with pain where had this come from!? she thought as her vision blurred and began to dim she knew what it meant and welcomed it to escape the pain.

Once Ria had passed out the waves of pain he felt stopped and he looked down at her. She was clinging to him, he hadn't expected that. Shaking his head he picked her up to take her to a med dome. As he reached the door of the training dome Ria stirred and opened her eyes looking at him dazed and confused. He stiffened

"Are you ok now?"

"I think so…" She rubber her forehead and looked about noticing he was carrying her and blushed

"Could you put me down?" she asked not looking at him

"Oh…right" he let her down; though she could stand fine he still had his hand on her arm.

"What happened?" he asked concerned

"I'm not exactly sure..." she looked as if she were reading something in her mind.

"What is it?" he gripped her arm and she looked at him her eyes flashed with some emotion......was it fear?

"You'll think I'm crazy" she stated flatly

"No I wont, you can trust me"

She sighed "It's Frieza…he's destroyed our home planet" she looked at him worried he'd still think she was crazy

Ria! Mouko! Get to the meeting hall asap! The intercom had startled them and he looked back at Ria who's expression shown she knew what the meeting was for.
