AN: Ready for more? I thought so. Please read and review. The evil is coming, and you'll meet it very soon, I promise. You'll be surprised, I'm sure.

I want to thank Thomas Drovin, lovethestory, and Marty King of Wafflemen for reviewing so often. It makes me happy to get so Many reviews, but I need more!

And one last thing, soon I'll have the next story in the New Destiny saga ready to post, hopefully once I get this one finished. It's called A Conceivable Destiny. Look for it soon!

Here we go!

Chapter 55: The First Signs

At home, it's the year 2022, here it's 779 AD, and I'm now 32.

Its getting to the last few days before this evil arrives, whatever it is. I can sense it. I've made contact with Supreme Kai and King Kai, and they both say its getting closer, but they can't tell how long for sure.

And my Sensory Gift has been on High Alert for the past week. It will just suddenly go off with no known reason. One time I actually got sick because of it. I've kept a constant eye on the news and the sky, looking for anything out of the ordinary. So far a few tremors and bizarre weather have hit certain areas around earth, but that's been it.

I hadn't had much time to relax, so once again I went to the Flare for a drink. It's actually a nice place to hang now. Let's just say that Sayaman and SayaWoman cleaned it up.

"Bloody Mary." I said as I took my favorite seat at the bar. With my mood as dark as the club I was praying for someone to try something. I wanted some action.

After my third drink nothing had happened, so I thought of leaving. That's when Piccolo again came to retrieve me from this bar. He had done it after I defeated my dark side five years ago, and now he was doing it again.

"Hey, have a drink, Piccolo. I'll pay."

"No thanks. You know I only drink water."

"Whatever, you're loss." I said as I took another swig of my drink.

"Should you be drinking? You might have to fight today. And besides, isn't drinking against your religion?"

"A few drinks never hurt anyone." I said with another swig, "Something weird is going on."

"You've sensed it, too?"

"And the fact that it's all over the news sure helps. Weird weather and earthquakes, and not to mention the animals going nuts. Icarus nearly bit me the other day, and you know Icarus. He doesn't bite."

"Well, with earth's spirit shifting so much, I'd bite someone, too."

Well, I had wanted action a moment ago, and now I was going to get some. A fat loser came up to me and tried to ask me out. Just imagine a fat, bearded drunk who looks like one of those nobody's out of a bad movie's bar scene. That's the type of guy.

"No thanks, I'm taken."

"Come on, let's go somewhere else. Let's get away from that guy." He pointed to Piccolo with a disgusted look.

"Hey-"

"Was I talking to you, green bean? No, I was talking to the normal lady."

"And what's wrong with him?" I snapped.

"He ain't like us, baby. He's a green bean."

"Have you even tried to get to know someone different from yourself? This green bean, as you put it, is one of my best friends."

"But he ain't like us. Lets go somewhere else."

"How drunk are you? How would you react to knowing that I'm not at all what I seem?" at this point I moved my tail out of the loops on my jeans and started to wave it around.

"What the…? You have a tail?" he gasped.

"You bet, and like I said, you racist pig, I'm taken. So get out of here before I go all racist on your fat, hairy ass, human." The man took off without another word.

"Smooth, Katie."

"Hey, he caught me in a bad mood. And besides, he insulted you."

"Racism is stupid, anyway."

"You bet. You ask me, the only major difference between people is if they're good or bad. Gender has a part, of course, but we're all equal, no matter the strength or gender or race. If that guy wanted to be scared of you, it should have been because you are strong enough to blow up this room with your pinky finger, not because you're green."

"Nice monologue. Anyway, something big is on its way right now. We're all meeting at the Lookout in an hour."

"I'll be there."

I got back to the house and got ready for battle. Since I had no idea what I was facing I was going prepared. I was wearing my blue Sayjin body suit (you know the thing that goes under the armor), the Sayjin boots, my Karma stone bracelet and my wedding ring, for luck, work-out gloves (no fingers), and a long-sleeve black leather jacket that stopped under my ribs. I had Arina on my back, a knife hidden in my left boot, and two laser pistols attached to my thighs. My hair was tight in a bun and I had an assortment of capsules in my jacket pockets. Among the items inside the capsules were Zinzu beans, other first-aid articles, ammo for the pistols, and food.

I teleported to the Lookout, expecting a bigger crowd than who was there. But Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, and Mirai, along with Dende and Mr. Po-Po, were the only ones there. Vegeta was in Sayjin armor, Goku in his normal Gi, and Mirai in his normal attire from our first encounter during the battles with the androids, except no jacket, and he had his sword.

"Where is everybody?"

"This is everybody." Vegeta said calmly. I wasn't sure what he meant, so Goku clarified.

"Buu, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and the rest are staying here to watch for trouble. We're the strongest, so we decided we'd go with you."

Yeah, but to where?

"Thanks, and even though I know you will disagree, I'm going to say it anyway. I don't want you to go with me, it's too dangerous, and I'm not even sure I'm the one."

"Of course you are the one!" Vegeta snapped. It surprised everyone, because Vegeta was always the last one to admit that someone else was stronger.

"Katie, you've been there for us this entire time. You trained with me on King Kai's planet-"

"You fought me and did surprisingly well after that-" Vegeta interrupted.

"You went to Namek and fought the Ginyu force-"

"You stayed by my side as I died, and even after I was dead." Vegeta said, barely above a whisper. That was a very touchy subject.

"You helped me see what courage was. You knew our future, but understood that too many changes could be bad. I only wish I could have had the wisdom you did when I came back in time." Mirai said.

"You were captured by Cell and kept your cool." Vegeta said.

"Even when you were evil you didn't kill us. Katie, what we're trying to say is, if its not you, then who else could it be?" Goku finished.

"Great pep talk guys. How long had you been practicing?"

"Katie, we're serious!" Mirai said.

"I know, I know." I sighed, turning away as I finished, "But guys, I'm scared. This time only I can stop the bad guy, and I don't even know what it is."

"That's how we've felt. We didn't know about Frieza, or Cell, or Buu, you did. Now none of us know what we're up against." Goku said.

"Well, I know I'm ready. I've speed trained with Piccolo, learned the Spirit Bomb from Goku, and learned survival training from Vegeta. King Kai helped me with psychic techniques, Mirai and Trunks taught me weapons training, Tien taught me the multiple form technique, Krillen and Yamcha helped me improve my fighting techniques in general. Even 18 helped by teaching me how to read my opponents better. I've had the best teachers in the world, in the galaxy, and now I'm as ready as one can be to fight. I even have the Sayjin's natural abilities in my arsenal."

"And it looks like you're about to get to test that theory…" looking in the direction of Goku's shocked gaze, I heard the others gasp as a ship appeared in the sky.
