Part 2: "Training Day"
"So, you found this girl near here?" asked Chi Chi, who had just tucked her into the guest bed.
"Yes, Mom. Honest!" replied a flustered Gohan.
"Poor thing. Alright, you can leave now, but I don't want to catch you trying to take a peek at our guest. The last thing this family needs is another Roshi!"
"I didn't do anything, Mom!"
"Good. Now, go on. Shoo!"
"Yes, ma'am!" And off Gohan went.
"What are we going to do with you?"
Early the next day, at the crack of dawn, the Son family were "greeted" by their mysterious guest.
"Dear, you shouldn't be out bed!" Chi Chi exclaimed, as she rushed over to the mysterious girl.
"I…I am fine. I'm just hungry, that's all."
"Oh. Well, by all means, have a seat. Gohan!"
"Mmmm?" replied Gohan, who was stuffing his face.
"Move over. Miss-?"
"Umm…Juuban. My name is Juuban. I think."
"Well, Juuban, please have a seat. Is there anything in particular you like to eat?"
"Do you have ice cream?"
"No, but Gohan can get some later."
"Then I'll have what 'Gohan' is having."
"Certainly."
"Can I ask you something?" asked Goten hesitantly.
"Umm, sure."
"Why is your left purple?"
"I-"
Suddenly, Juuban reeled from a memory of a laughing, green monster.
"Juuban, are you okay?" asked Gohan.
"I…I'm fine. I don't know what came over me."
"I'm sorry for asking you questions," said Goten dejectedly.
"It's no problem. To be honest, I don't know what came over me. But to answer your question, I don't recall why my left eye is purple, while my right eye is blue."
"Well, don't worry," said Chi Chi. "I have a friend that we'll help us help you."
"I appreciate everything that you are doing for me, Mrs. Son."
"What are good neighbors for?"
After breakfast, Gohan and Goten went out to train some more in preparation for the Martial Arts Tournament. At his mother's request, Gohan was also to entertain Juuban while Chi Chi got in touch with Bulma (in regards to their guest).
"I bet you're bored with all this training," said Goten.
"It looks interesting," Juuban replied. While sporting a long braid, the girl was dressed in one of Goku's training outfit, though modified to fit her frame. It would be temporary until Chi Chi modified enough of her own clothing to give to Juuban. Later, she would take her over to Bulma's for a thorough examination.
"Hey, you look like you could be an actual fighter!" said Gohan. "I got an idea. Would you like to learn a few self-defense techniques? I'm suppose to tutor this girl in martial arts this week and she hasn't arrived yet. What do you say?"
ACCEPT HIS OFFER.
Where did that come from? Juuban asked herself. "Okay."
"Great! Now, here's what we should do…
Like with Vidal, Gohan went on to explain the basics for "ki" control. While he didn't expect to master such a feat quickly, he reasonably felt that Juuban had what it take to learn it. At the very least, Juuban could have complete control of her own available ki within a month, as she increases her speed, strength and stamina.
It took Juuban about a minute to fully master it.
"You're sure you aren't a martial artist, Juu-chan?" asked Gohan.
"If I am, I don't recall."
"Mmmm. Alright. Now this next technique is a bit difficult. I don't expect you to learn it in a minute, though."
The "technique" Gohan was referring to, was the ability to fly. Only those who both mastered their will and their ki could ever hope to barely levitate. Gohan was still amazed that Vidal was able to fly like she could, but he concluded that she simply had a lot of willpower (and anger) that enabled her to do so. Surely, Juuban couldn't surpass Vidal's efforts so quickly.
Not only did Juuban surpassed Vidal's learning curve, but also she was about to approach Goten's. Gohan was getting suspicious, when Vidal finally showed up.
"So, new girlfriend?"
"It's not what you think, Vidal. Honest!"
"Humph. Right. So, aren't you going to introduce me?"
"Oh. Yeah! This is Juuban. We found her out last night unconscious in the backyard. We think she was attacked and is suffering from amnesia or something."
"Is that so? You seem okay to me. What are you doing out here if you're not well then?"
"Gohan has offered to teach me some self-defense techniques."
"Is that so? Well, show me what you got!" Vidal said, as she got into a fighting stance.
"Vidal!"
"I'm simply testing your student. That's all."
"Very well, I will accept your 'exam'," Juuban replied, as she got into a stance of her own.
"Don't worry. I'll go easy on you. Heee-YAH!"
Vidal rushed over to deliver a series of blows. Nothing serious, mind you, but delivered with enough force to make a point. Instead of backing away, Juuban merely deflected the blows with ease.
Wow, she may be good. I better up the tempo, Vidal thought. That's when she began including kicks in her barrage. Like before, Juuban blocked or deflected each blow with ease.
Why isn't she sweating? Vidal thought. Then, out of desperation, Vidal threw a solid punch that was caught by Juuban. Looking at her face closely, that's when noticed two things:
One, her left eye was purple, and, two, that same left eye started to glow brightly.
"Insolence," Juuban relied softly, and proceed to deliver her own series of blows, each one faster and stronger than the next. In 2.3 seconds, Vidal was on the ground and in pain. What kind monster is she? Vidal thought. Just when Vidal was about to be hit again, Gohan interceded.
"That's enough, Juuban! You made your point!"
"Go…Gohan?" Juuban responded, as if she was waking up from a day- dream. Immediately, Juuban turned and ran back towards the Son residence, crying her eyes out.
"What…was…THAT?" Vidal exclaimed, as Gohan helped her up.
"I'm not sure. But Vidal, you're the one who goaded her into a fight. You shouldn't have done that."
"I know. It's just that when I saw you with that girl, I was concerned. That's all."
"Yeah, right."
"Whatever. Anyway, I better get going."
"But you just got here."
"I know, but I need some rest after SHE almost beat me up. But mark my words, you will help me to train tomorrow. OKAY."
"Whatever you say, Vidal."
"What's wrong with me?" Juuban asked herself, as she looked into the bathroom mirror. Suddenly, the image of the green monster appeared.
"NO!" Juuban yelled, as she smashed the mirror with her fist.
"Juuban, are you alright?" yelled Chi Chi through the bathroom door.
"I'm okay, Mrs. Son," Juuban relied as she examined her injured hand. "I had an accident, that's all." Her eyes widened when she saw the cuts on her hand heal up instantly. That's when she fainted.
"Juuban? Juuban!" Chi Chi yelled, as she burst into the bathroom. She knelt down, and hoped that her guest will be okay.
Meanwhile, at Tokyo's famed Cherry Hill Temple, a small gathering of sorts was occurring.
"You sure they will be here soon? You know I got that assignment to go to as soon as possible."
"Relax, Minako," replied Rei. "We wouldn't want the famed television reporter to be late for her gig."
"Besides," began Ami, "I'm sure Makoto will keep her companions in line long enough for them to come home on time and in one piece."
"With Ranma's big mouth and Goku's stomach? Doubtful."
"Please, Rei, have a LITTLE faith in Mako-chan. Minako, do you know if Momaru will be here?"
"Doubtful. He likes to put up a good effort, but ever since Usagi's disappearance, he hasn't been the same."
"I know. We all miss the meatball head."
"Guys, the Mercury computer detects a breach in the dimensional wall."
"What signature?"
"It's-"
An atmospheric vortex formed, spewing out three bodies.
"That is the last time I let YOU have a say in where we go, Goku!"
"Yeah! I don't mind taking on a challenge, but did you have to piss-off an entire clan of Titans?"
"But we had fun, didn't we?"
"Grrrrr. I swear that this is the last time I'm going with either of you clowns on a training mission."
"Hey, what did I do?"
"Plenty, Ranma."
"Welcome home, guys!" exclaimed Minako, as friends swarm the trio.
"Did you bring back plenty of souvenirs?" asked Ami.
"Certainly. Here."
"Thanks, Mako-chan."
"Look, I'm heading home," said Ranma. "I talk to you guys later." And off Ranma went.
"I swear, that wife of his got him trained, like Chi Chi does with Goku here."
"Did someone want me?"
"It's nothing."
"Okay. I'm heading home to. See you later!" And off Goku goes.
"So, Mako-chan, what did you three do?"
"Well…"
Tbc.
Authors note: Another installment done. Let me know what you think.
Next time: It is the day of the Martial Arts Tournament, and old familiar faces show up. Plus, a shocking turn of events (and it's not necessarily b/c of Juuban either!). Be here when the gang gets together to have a "Reunion". See you there!
