Piccolo was the last to step out of the portal. The warriors surveyed the
dark forest that surrounded them. The huge trees covered the sky from their
sight. But the color of the grass, the bushes, the leaves, and the flowers
made the place seem calm and majestic and mystical. When they breathed in
air, it was so fresh, and was way cleaner than earth's polluted air.
"I sensed a power here when I came here first. But now, I can't seem to feel it." Goku warned. "Keep an eye out."
"So," Yamcha said with hesitation, "Where do we go?"
No one knew. "We can fly." Tien said. "We can—"
Vegeta quieted him a shush. He felt his heart twitch. "Kakkarot, can you feel that?" That feeling was back. The feeling of knowing she was present, alive, and safe. A sort of calm feeling fell and blanketed Vegeta's heart.
Goku concentrated, and then his eyes were filled with understanding. "Yeah, yeah! I feel it! It's got to be Bulma!"
The rest of the men became quiet, and then they began to agree. "Then all we have to do is follow it." Vegeta said, and began to fly up from the forest.
"Wait!" Piccolo yelled. His ears twitched. "Do you...hear that?"
Again, silence. The ground began to move just a little, and then the sound of footsteps can be heard. A roar was heard in the distance, and the footsteps became louder. It was heading straight for them.
"It doesn't sound too happy." Krillen said nervously.
"It's weak." Tien said. "We can handle it."
Gohan stepped closer to his father and waited to see what was going to greet them. The roar was heard again, this time closer. Piccolo's ear twitched again. He could hear something in its roar. It wasn't anger or hunger. It was...fear.
"Guys, it's not hear to attack. It's.........running away from.........someone.........or something."
"What are you talking about, Piccolo?" Krillen asked. "Can't you hear that sound? It's obviously angry!"
The roar came again, but this time, it was very close. The ground began to shake more like an earthquake. The trees began falling down and a huge figure came into view. It was gigantic looking dinosaur with red scales. Its mouth was open. All the warriors stood in place, feelings the hot breath from its scream.
And then, it fell. It began to try and stand up. They saw a lady climb up the body from its tail and took out a sword. She stabbed the dinosaur many times until it went limp with death. She fell back and sat on it, breathing hard.
"Time for the real training." She said to herself.
"Training?" Yamcha whispered to them. "Killing dinosaurs are just warm ups?"
It was Yamcha's voice that made her turn her head to them. She was a pretty built woman, not like Goku, but like a runner. Her red hair was tied tightly into a ponytail. Her eyes were wide and yellow. The outfit she wore was the skin of a cheetah that made her look like a cave woman.
"Humans..." she whispered. "I have never seen humans before..."
"Humans? People on this planet must be monsters!" Krillen said with fright. The woman jumped off of the big dinosaur and stood before them, examining them.
"I have seen only one woman." The girl said. "She was a pretty woman, all wrapped in a white blanket. But her hair was bright blue. King Oniramu was holding her with great care."
"Oniramu must be the name of that guy who kidnapped Bulma." Tien said. "Bulma has to be here."
"Can you tell me where we are?" Goku asked. The woman seemed trustworthy and kind enough.
"Sure." She said happily with energy. She leaned one leg and placed her hand on her hip. "You are on Planet Theru, in the forest that belongs to Yashi."
"Which way is the kingdom?" Krillen asked. He was calmed and relaxed.
"Behind me. You just keep going north, and you'll find it." The lady said.
"Why are you helping us?" Vegeta asked. He, Piccolo, and Goku were the only ones suspicious and seem to have noticed her too kind attitude.
"I, too, am asking myself that." The lady said. "Get along now. Before Yashi comes and get you."
They started to walk passed her, but Tien stopped right beside her. When he did, so did everyone else. "Who is this Yashi?" he asked. He watched her close her eyes and smirk.
"I thought you'd never ask."
Goku's senses picked up a strong power. It was growing quickly. Soon, everyone else did. It was so strong that everyone was thinking of its power than to sense where it was coming from.
The woman opened her eyes, and Tien saw purple eyes. Her arm came up, her fists smashing against Tien's face. He flew back a few feet and landed on a bush.
"She must be Yashi!" Krillen said with fear. "Her power is enormous!"
The lady named Yashi laughed with triumph loudly as if she won already. Goku felt not only power from her, but also an evil presence. Pure evil.
"I had orders to kill you from King Oniramu." Yashi said with an evil smile, exposing glistening white fangs. Dark shadows appeared under her eyes suddenly. She pulled out the tie that held her hair up, which was made of cheetah's skin, and threw it Krillen. The skin covered Krillen's sight of Yashi, but just when it moved downward, the next thing he saw was a fist. Yashi's fist smashed against Krillen's face, and was pushed back to where Tien was, who unsuccessfully tried to get himself loose.
Krillen's hand flew to his painful face and he screamed. "Ow! The pain! She's one strong lady!"
Yashi turned to Vegeta and studied him. "Looks can be deceiving. Strong things can come in small sizes."
Vegeta didn't know whether to feel insulted by her comment of him being small, or feel complemented because she said his power was strong.........can s he sense his power? No way!
"Then again, the power isn't strong enough to beat me." Yashi laughed loudly. Now he was insulted. Vegeta growled. Yashi's laugh stopped suddenly as Vegeta's knee collided into her stomach. As she bent down, Vegeta elbowed her nape and watched happily as the impact forced her down into the floor.
"Want to laugh at me now?" Vegeta taunted. When she didn't say anything, nor made an effort to get up, he laughed. "Cat got your tongue?" he eyed her clothing, made of cheetah.
Yashi pushed herself up and spit out dirt, her eyes glaring at Vegeta with so much hatred. "No one laughs at me and gets away from it!" her hand grabbed for Vegeta's neck like claws. The movement was sudden that Vegeta was able to dodge her hand to protect his neck. But his cheek held three slits, little lines of blood pouring from the sides. Vegeta lightly touched the cut and winced of the pain. He looked at Yashi's fingers and saw sharp nails with tiny spots of his blood on them.
But scratching him did not satisfy her. She made a move to scratch him once again, but Vegeta sidestepped her, filled with his own anger.
"Vegeta! We have no time to fight!" Goku called. "We can't afford the time to fight. Bulma can be in greater danger than she was minutes ago. Even seconds!"
"We'll leave, after I smash this stupid woman into bits!" Vegeta yelled back. An energy ball appeared above his gloved hand and grew larger by the second. He threw it at Yashi. She ran away from it, but he was happy to see the ball chase after her. However, the smile disappeared when Yashi led it into a tree, moved to the side suddenly, and laughed when the ball exploded against the tree.
"Vegeta! Are you going to waste your time fighting this woman, when you should be saving Bulma? Don't let fighting get in your way!" Goku said.
"Fighting her is the only way, Kakkarot! You're either stupid or deaf—wait! You're both! Didn't you just hear her that she had orders to kill us!" Vegeta yelled back.
Goku turned to Yamcha. "Yamcha, take care of Yashi. Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan, and I will go on!"
Yamcha gasped. "You expect me to fight her? She punched Tien and Krillen already." Their heads turned to Tien and Krillen. A sweat drop fell down the side of their faces when they saw Krillen pulling on Tien's leg, attempting to help pull him out.
"You three distract her. At least for a few minutes."
Yamcha gulped. "How much time do you need?"
"As much as you can give us." Goku said thankfully. He gave Yamcha a manly pat on the back for luck and looked at Piccolo. The namek knew what was to happen so he nodded. Goku turned to Vegeta. "We're leaving, Vegeta."
"No!" Yashi and Vegeta said at the same time.
"I'm not leaving until I finish her off!" Vegeta said angrily.
"Vegeta! Stop being so stubborn!" Goku yelled. His patience was evaporating every second. "Bulma may be hurt! We're wasting time."
Vegeta was quiet for a moment, deciding what to do. He smirked at Yashi. "Lucky woman. I guess you won't die so quickly today." he was going to have the last laugh. He turned to Yamcha, Tien, and Krillen. That's when he had his doubts. His eyes, full of questions, turned to Goku, showing his doubts of the three goofballs: Yamcha, who was either sweating with nervousness or shyness, Tien, who was trying to free himself from the bush, and Krillen, who tried to help Tien. Fighters? No, they're more like embarrassments.
Yashi was thinking the same thing. "Do you really think these three idiots can fight me and win?"
'No,' Goku thought, 'but it will give us time to find Bulma.'
"Let's go Kakkarot. We wasted enough time on this stupid woman." He blasted away, Goku, Gohan and Piccolo following him, their white aura's surrounding them. Yashi covered her eyes from the wind. She then turned to Yamcha.
Krillen successfully got Tien out of the bush and looked at Yashi.
Yamcha didn't know what to do. He can't fight and win? She could probably win in one second. He decided to go for another plan.
Yashi watched the man called Yamcha turn his head towards the floor. And when he brought his face up, he was blushing with cute adoring eyes. What the...?
"Did anyone tell you how gorgeous you look?" Yamcha asked with a flirty look on his face.
Krillen and Tien came up with the same conclusion at the same time: With the huge amount of fear, Yamcha had gone nuts.

"I sensed a power here when I came here first. But now, I can't seem to feel it." Goku warned. "Keep an eye out."
"So," Yamcha said with hesitation, "Where do we go?"
No one knew. "We can fly." Tien said. "We can—"
