Travel with Destiny



Lady Onra woke up. She was cold. Lady Onra was in the bed she had at Goku's house. She looked around at the room. It was her room. True she hadn't been there long so there wasn't mush stuff. Nothing personal. She looked down at her pajamas. They were she dark navy blue ones. Her favorite ones. And the sheets were the same ones she had. The ones that were a nice dark red color. They too were her favorite ones. She got out of bed. Her bare feet touched the cold wooden floors. That was one if the things she loved about her room.

'Maybe . . . it was all a . . . dream? No . . . something is wrong . . . ' Lady Onra thought for a moment. She looked around. She couldn't find anything wrong with the room. But she knew something was wrong. She felt her face with both hands. She looked at her hands. Lady Onra got up and walked over to a mirror. She was 11 again. She looked at her long black silky hair. She looked into her intense blue eyes. They had always had a tint of turquoise in them. She moved a bit of hair out of her face. The room seemed to be getting colder. 'It had to e a dream which means . . . ' A small smile crept across her face. Lady Onra ran to the door and opened it. She ran out to the kitchen. No one. That was strange. Chichi was always there in the morning. Lady Onra looked around the house. No one.

"Moshi-moshi Goku! Chichi! Anybody!" Still no one. 'Maybe they're out on another picnic.' Lady Onra went back to her room to change. She opened the closet door. There was nothing in there. She frowned. Lady Onra looked over all the room. There were no clothes. She shook her head. Lady Onra left the house. She flew all around. There was no one. 'Maybe they are at Bulma's house.' Lady Onra flew to Bulma's house. She landed on the backyard. Lady Onra walked up to the door. She knocked three times. No one answered. 'They must be too far into the house for someone to heard.' But there was doubt in that thought. Lady Onra opened the door and walked in. "Moshi-moshi Nobody answered the door so I let myself in!!!" No answer. "Bulma? Vegeta? Trunks? Bra? I'm sorry but I couldn't find anyone when I woke up! I looked all over!" Not a sound filled the house. Lady Onra was still cold. 'Maybe it is getting close to winter.' Lady Onra turned to leave. She stopped at the door way. "I'm leaving now!" Lady Onra flew off. 'They might be at the lookout . . . ' She flew there. No one. 'Kame's house?' No one. 'Where . . . where can the be . . . Goku would have left a note or something.' She looked down. She was flying over a city. No one was there. She landed. There wasn't anyone in the streets. 'This isn't happening . . . it can't be happening . . . is this some kind of joke . . . that must be it . . . there's no other way to explain it . . .' Lady Onra flew back to Goku's house. 'This is like . . . ' A tear fell down her check. 'guarding those . . . ' Another tear. 'gates of destiny. I am alone. I don't want to be alone . . . I am . . .' Tears watered the ground. 'afraid. I don't want this . . . I want' Lady Onra walked back to her room. She got in her bed and pulled the covers over her cold body. The room was freezing. Tears soaked the pillow. "Goku . . . "

"Why do you want Goku?" Lady Onra looked around the room. The window disappeared. The room turned gray. There was nothing but her bed.

"Who . . . who said that?" There was no one in the room. "Show yourself!" Goku appeared. Lady Onra looked at Goku. Colder. The room was getting colder. "Goku . . . "

"Not Goku. Destiny."

"Destiny doesn't do this . . . "

"How do you know?"

"Because I am Amaya! I am the-" Someone else cut her off.

"No you aren't." This voice was familiar. A woman stepped from the shadows. She had long sky blue hair. It went alittle farther than her waist. Her bangs were longer on the right side and covered up her left eye. All you could see was her right eye. And that was because there was a part in her bangs that was above the right eye so it was able to show. Her eye color was an intense blue. It was darker than the hair color. There was a small tint of turquoise. The eye color was more intense than Lady Onra's. She had peal earrings that were in the shape of a tear drop. Her shirt was styled like a bathrobe almost. But the martial was soft and silky. It was wrapped like a bathrobe. The shirt was red and the ribbon that was like a cored for a bathrobe was a gold color. The sleeves were a white silk and they were see through. The outlining on the shirt was gold. She had two gold bracelets on each wrist. She had black tight pants and gold boots that came up to her knees. The laces on the boots were gold too.

"You can't be . . . that's-"

"What? Impossible." The room was colder. She could see her breath. But they weren't breathing. "You have said it more than once. You are not Amaya. What makes you think that you can come back to Destiny and get Amaya's powers."

"I . . . I am Amaya! I am the Goddess of Destiny! You must restore my powers!"

"Destiny mustn't do anything you say. You were once pure but no more. Now love and fear. Destiny was denied."

"Please restore my powers. I beg of you."

"Destiny is not to be begged of."

"I am sorry. But-"

"The goddess broke 7 of the 8 devout taboos. Why not the last one?"

"There was no reason to."

"Destiny has no reason to return power." Lady Onra was getting colder. Frost had started to cover the room.

"Riki will take over! That cannot be the way of destiny!"

"Destiny will allow goddess to regain contact with destiny. Destiny cannot return any other power." Goku and the woman disappeared. The room disappeared. There was a swirl of colors and it was all around Lady Onra. Lightening came from no where and hit her. Lady Onra let out a scream. A blood curling scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a deathly silence. Everyone was in total shock.

"Onra . . . is a god?" Mari smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Amaya and I are gods. Piccolo and Vegeta were right. They thought from the very being that we were gods. But now that you know what we are you have been dragged into a world that you never thought existed. And now I suppose that you all will want to go and help Amaya." Mari was about to say something else when Mari became aware of something. She looked at them all. "Something is wrong. I have never felt something like that!" Goku walked towards Mari.

"Tell us on the way to get Onra back." Mari looked at him.

"She is god. What makes you think that you can do anything? That she needs you or even wants you?"

"While Onra was here she never acted better than us. She never did anything that was rude. She was kind. And when we wanted her to tell us the truth she was sad. Onra didn't want us to know. And now I know why. She didn't want to be treated different. Now let's go get her." Mari looked at Goku. After a moment she sighed.

"Fine. It will take awhile to go to were we need to go. The Divine Star of Eternity. That is where we will start looking." Goku nodded. "We go as soon as we can."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun rose. The warriors had gone and packed the best they could. They shouldn't take up too much space. Bulma of course insisted on going along. She had scared them all into allowing her to go. And they might need someone to fix the ship if something went wrong. The ship was huge. But not big enough for them to pack anything more than they needed. The food had its own storage room. With two full blood Sayians and three half along with a Namek and some humans they needed a lot of food. Mari didn't need anything. Not even a room to sleep in. Bulma turned to Mari.

"How long do you think this will take us? With all these people coming the ship might be too small." Mari looked at Bulma.

"Three months should be about right."

"Three months!!! There is no way that we could last that long! The ship alone won't be able to last that long!"

"I know. But it will only take about two weeks to get to Red Eyes 7. And that is at top speed. We will stop at Red Eyes 7 to get another ship. A much faster one. That will cut the trip down to three months there. If we kept using your ship it will take about a year to get there. And by that time Amaya will not need our help. She will have either gotten away or be dead. Then we will take that ship and go to Corintor. We will get supplies. Then we will go to The Divine Star of Eternity. Even if Amaya isn't there we can find her. There portals to anywhere at The Divine Star of Eternity. That is the plan." Bulma nodded in a daze.

"And where is Red Eyes 7? I'll need to put it into the ship's computer to get us there."

"All ready done. All that is needed is for Krillin and his wife number 18 to get her. Unless we are missing anyone." Bulma turned around and counted.

"Yamcha, Tien, Chaozu, Piccolo, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Videl, Vegeta, Trunks. Yeah we have everyone but Krillin and 18." Mari laughed. "What is it Mari?"

"You want to make sure it is done right. I like that in a mortal." Mari walked off.

"Thanks . . . I think." Bulma walked inside. She was pretty tried. Vegeta was sitting inside. She sat down beside him and rested her head on his shoulder. Vegeta was taken by surprise. "Vegeta . . . why didn't you tell any of us the rest of that legend."

"Would you have believed me or just said that I had lost it."

"The ladder."

"Thought so."

"But I shouldn't think that you are crazy. Sure sometimes we get on each other's nerves but I should think that."

"It's alright. I would have thought the same about you." Bulma sat up straight and looked at Vegeta. "Do you think Goku is taking it alright? With Lady Onra being a god?" Vegeta sighed and shook his head. Bulma looked at the ground. "Thought so." Outside Krillin and number 18 landed. Yamcha turned and looked at the two of them.

"What took you guys so long?" 18 walked over to the ship. Krillin looked at Yamcha.

"Master Roshi wouldn't stop going on and on about Lady Onra being a god. First he wouldn't believe us and then he kept on be philosophical. I'm happy I'm not there any more." Krillin shook his head. He looked at the ship. "When are we going to be ready to get going?" Yamcha just shrugged. He and Yamcha talked about nothing really, sports and that kind of stuff. Tien and Chaozu sat and talked about Mari and Lady Onra. Goten, Gohan, Videl, and Trunks talked about how they were going to spend the time in the ship. Piccolo sat and mediated. Goku merely sat and thought. Mari made sure that everyone was there.

"Alright. It will take us two weeks to get to Red Eyes 7. There we will switch ships." Mari walked onto the ship. The others followed. It was alittle crowded on the ship but not to much. The ship let out a burst of fire and flew off. It was alittle rough at first but it got better along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been three days so far. Bulma spent most of her time working on the ship making sure nothing went wrong. She spent alittle time talking with Mari. The two of them had a nice time talking with each other. Most of the time they spent talking Bulma was asking stuff about the universe. The others spent a lot of time training. Mari looked over at Bulma.

"Bulma, I have a question to ask you." Bulma looked up from the computer.

"You need to ask me something?! Shoot." Mari looked out the window at outer space.

"How did Amaya act around Goku? He cares for her I know but . . ." Bulma smiled.

"You aren't sure that she feels the same. I thought you were in tune with everything Mari." Mari nodded.

"Hai I am but . . . my powers have been weakening." Bulma thought for a moment.

"Well, in the short time that I have known her I'd say she feels like he is a father." Mari shook her head.

"I don't know how that is possible Bulma. Amaya is always silent. She is a god. She doesn't feel." Bulma sighed.

"In all the time that I have known Goku I would say that it is possible. Goku can sometimes do the impossible." Mari looked at her.

"Do you really think so Bulma?" Bulma nodded. "Then I suppose it will be the hardest thing I have ever done." Bulma looked at her confused.

"What will be hard Mari?"

"Letting her go. Amaya . . . she is always sad. I know gods are above everything but Amaya is different. She has taboos that must never be broken. And she will do what must be done. But she will forget everything for a chance . . . " Bulma looked Mari.

"Taboos?" Mari looked at the ground. "What are the taboos?"

"The 8 devout taboos.

The first one is that she is never to let mortals have the ability to change their destiny.
The second one is that she is never to allow anyone who came to learn of their destiny to live.
The third one is that she is never to leave those gates.
The fourth one is that she is never to allow mortals to feed off her powers.
The fifth one is that she is never to fight.
The sixth one is that she is never to train anyone.
The seventh one is that she is never to allow anyone to know who she really is.

But Amaya never told me the last taboo. I don't know why." Bulma was about to say something when the there was a beeping sound and the lighting changed. It was red and an alarm sound went through the ship. "What is it Bulma?" Bulma looked at the computer and pressed in some codes. On the screen a bunch of numbers were on it.

"We've got something coming at us." Mari looked at the screen.

"Why is it in numbers?" Bulma smiled.

"I had to make sure there was one reason that they took me along. But there is something big coming this way." Vegeta, Gohan, Goku and Piccolo ran up to them. They had been in the training room.

"Hey what's going on here?" Goku was looking at the screen when he asked Bulma. "What does all those numbers mean?" Bulma didn't even turn around when she answered him.

"Something is coming straight at us!" Mari turned to Bulma.

"How long till we hit?!"

"I don't know! The speed keeps changing! And there is more than one!" Mari stood up. The others came into the room.

"This shouldn't take too long." Goku looked at Mari.

"What are you going to do Mari?" Mari looked at him.

"Take them out."

"You can't do that Mari! What if they aren't a threat at all?" Mari was about to say something when the ship shook violently. For a moment it felt like they were spinning around. It stopped as fast as it had started. Anyone who was standing up fell down when it stopped. The lights died. There was a chilling silence. It was awhile before anyone regained woke up. Mari forced herself up and looked around. There was nothing but darkness.

"Everyone alright?" There were some moaning in response to her question. Mari held out her hand and a ball of light formed. She looked around again. The ball didn't give off much light. Bulma pushed herself off of the control panel. "Bulma, what is the condition of the ship?"

"I don't know, we lost power. There is no way of getting it back up for atleast an hour." Mari sighed.

"Then it looks like we got some exploring to do till then."

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This is Bulma again. Mari has to transform back into Alex because she is getting so weak from being in her god form. She says something is draining her powers. We met some space travelers like ourselves. They seem nice but I don't know. They keep whispering and looking at Alex. And strange things keep happening. I don't like this one bit. They want me to have me solve some puzzles and the others . . . hey! Where are the other?! What's going on here?!
