Disclaimer: Jedd: Hmmmmm. Hey Garon, Arak, we've a problem.
Arak: What's that?
Jedd: I can't think of anything funny to do for the disclaimer.
Garon hits Jedd between the legs with a baseball bat: Problem solved.
Arak: Jedd doesn't own DBZ, but does own trihawks and cat children. Hey Garon, give me that bat. *Takes bat and also hits Jedd, same spot*
Jedd, cringing on the ground in pain,: I hate all of you.
Garon: That's what you get for badmouthing RiverValley!

DBOA Chapter 9 Days of our Lives
** Day 1 **
They were all there, on the planet of the Supreme Kai. The North, South, East, West, Grand, Supreme, and Elder Kais. They had been put there and stranded by the mysterious cloaked man. Unable to get off the planet, and unable to contact anyone, they were out of the picture.
And Elder was not taking this quietly, much to the others distress, "The nerve of him! How dare he do this to me, after all! I'm an old man, I've got rights and privileges! This is rude and uncalled for conduct! When I get my hands on Fyr, I'll give him and earful!"
Supreme looked up, "Fyr? That's the madman's name? How do you know him, Elder?"
Elder froze in midrant, then turned to look at the assorted Kais, "You mean you don't know? You can't tell?" All he got was a bunch of shaking heads. "Honestly, kids today! Don't pay any attention to history! Fyr is a Kai, like us!"
South jumped up, "Whaaaat?! How can HE be a Kai?!"
"SHUT UP AND MAYBE I'LL TELL YOU!!!!" Elder shouted, causing South to fall backwards, "That's better. Since you're all so uneducated, I'll just have to explain this, then. Millenia ago there was another Kai, the Kai of Death. He determined where souls would go when they came to the Otherworld. But after centuries of centuries of seeing evil hearts, of dealing with cruel people, he lost faith in life and sought to destroy it.
"Because he was the Kai of Death, he was able to take the souls of the dead and use them to make himself more powerful. When he started killing, he would grow more powerful still, with the souls of those he destroyed. Galaxy after galaxy fell before him, and he became unstoppable, until he came to the planet of the Saiyans. In a mighty showdown, one saiyan, pushed beyond his limits by watching his friends and family slaughtered before him, turned into the final form of Super Saiyan, and killed Fyr, at the cost of his own life.
"But, as you have seen with Northern Kai, we still retain our bodies, even after death. So us Kais sealed Fyr away, so he'd never be released again. I'm afraid that battle with Buu must have cracked the seal we set upon him, and he's finally broken free. Or he was free and had been lying low. Whatever the case, Fyr is free, gaining the strength of every person that dies, and he's out for blood."
**
Fyr stood there, thinking. A Cat Child...very rare. Cat Children were a very interesting species. They looked almost human, with feline ears and a tail. But it was their powers that made them interesting. The most frail and weakest of this species had as much raw physical strength as Spopovitch had, but that was it. They couldn't use energy waves, nor could they fly. But in contrast, they were energy resistant, making energy waves useless against them, then there was the fact that they could transform. Into what, he didn't know.
He had learned all this from a soul he had devoured, the soul of a Cat Child. And now he knew what else was heading for Earth. A Cat Child, who shared the planet that the Trihawks lived on, who was the Trihawks mortal enemy.
**
Garon gasped for breath as he sparred with Arak. After a while, they had figured out how to make her a lethal opponent. As soon as she had figured out how to use telekinesis, she added that power to her punches and kicks. The result was meant she could match him blow for blow. Add to the fact she could simply use her telekinesis to hit him, she was keeping him on his toes, even though they were flying.
Gohan watched from below. His training was simple, wear really heavy clothes and fight until he stopped them. It had already been 3 hours since they had started, and they hadn't stopped yet, not even for a break.
AND THAT BITCH WAS CONSTANTLY IN HIS HEAD!!! She was reading his mind so she knew what he would do even as he tried it. The only good part was that it was with all these advantages that put her on an equal fighting level with him. Finally, Gohan called them down, and they had to do a series of stretches. After 10 minutes of that, they were allowed to relax. Looking around, Garon noticed Jedd still wasn't around, oh well. Garon still couldn't believe it, he was actually going to participate in the World's Martial Arts Tournament, only a week away! Gohan had said afterwards, he'd teach them energy waves. Life was getting better.
**
Chi Chi chuckled, "Well, you're certainly handy in the kitchen!"
Jedd laughed, "Just call me the lean, mean, vegetable cutting machine!" He tossed several carrots into the air and in a series of swipes, skinned them, cut off the ends, and cut them into cubic pieces. This was his training, working on his accuracy with his wings, and he was getting very good with them. Also, he was making sure to use his empathy to make Chi Chi feel happy around him, this way she wouldn't feel like hitting him on the head with a frying pan because of his dumb jokes.
While Garon and Arak had been training with Gohan, he had been busy training in his own way, and felt fairly confident that he stood a good chance at actually LIVING through the tournament. As he thought that, he felt someone laughing in the back of his head.
'Oh, shut up, Jayla,' he thought at her.
**
Brolly looked around. The tournament grounds themselves were empty. But there was already a crowd of people eagerly waiting outside for the tournament to start in 1 week. 1 week and Kakarot would show up for the tournament. 1 week, and he'd be able to fight a REAL one on one battle with him. Oh yes, he'd wait for this...
**
Fyr smiled, things were going very well. All his fighters now were powered by the Juuin magic, magic from the combined powers of Bipidy and Bopidy. On top of that, he had the two working on a special project even now, a very special project.
And even Dr. Gero was helping. It seemed Cell WASN'T his last experiment. Cell had a sister, Ary, who remained shut down. She was a defective version of Cell because Piccolo's cells wouldn't take with her, though all the others did. Because of this defect, Gero had installed the energy absorbing devices into her hands.
Soon, he'd have even more warriors. Yes, things were going better than he had even dared hope. He reached up and pulled back his hood. He looked human, except for his pitch black eyes. He had short, ebony hair with a strife of ivory white down the middle. He took a deep breath, and smiled, "With those souls I've taken, I've finally gotten my body back, but I'm still nothing but a shadow of my former self, but this is a start. For every person that dies anywhere, I grow stronger. My gift, as the Death Kai.
** Day 2 **
Jedd groaned, bored. There was literally NOTHING to do around this house! He was at Hercules home. Apparently Vegeta had banned him from being anywhere near Capsule Corp., and frankly until he found out what the deal was with this 'Jayla', he didn't want to see Vegeta. Though she had been very helpful as of late. He had learned a great deal about her, like she had once been a trihawk, meaning that this was a species that existed in this dimension, before she had died. That had been a shock, finding out he was possessed in a fashion.
But with her help, he had a major trump card he could use against Arak and Garon in the WMAT, and he had another one, a very special trump card.
....................
BUT HE WAS STILL BORED!!!!
He looked at his travel bag, which he had kept brought with him and began rummaging through it. His CD case, CD walkman, Yu-Gi-Oh deck, cell phone, and Garon's Yu-Gi-Oh deck? Oh yeah, he had grabbed that before being transported here. Well, he could duel, but with whom?
Goku walked in and Jedd smiled, "Hey Goku! Want to learn a cool game?"
Goku walked over, "What game?"
Jedd handed him Garon's deck, Set, "It's a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh."
Goku took the rubberband bound deck and looked at it, raised it above his head and looked under it, then from side to side, "Ummm, ok!"
Jedd pulled out his own deck, Puck, "Ok, first let me tell you the rules..."
**
3 hours later
**
Garon pushed the door open and staggered inside, Arak right behind him with Gohan following. He and Arak were about to drop from exhaustion because of the intense training. And things were just going to get harder and harder. As much as he got stronger from his saiyan powers, Arak's psychic abilities were growing just as fast!
While there was little sparring today, his training had been hard. He had spent the day working on his accuracy by throwing rocks at a target so far away he could barely see it! That, or he'd be bench pressing boulders while Arak pushed down on them as hard as she could with her telekinesis, the end result being a very fine pile of sand that used to be a boulder.
As he walked in the room, he saw Jedd and Goku playing something. Fuck, didn't that dolt do anything? Did he even bother training?! And what were they play-?.....!!!!!
"THAT'S MY DECK!!!!"
Jedd's head snapped towards him, eyes wide, "Oh shit!"
As Jedd bolted, Garon gave chase, "GET BACK HERE YOU!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU GOT MY DECK, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"
"HEEEEEEEELP!!!"
"AND YOU LET KAKAROT TOUCH IT! DAMN YOU!"
Arak groaned and went to take a shower while Goku, unaware that his opponent had just been chased away, still tried to figure out his move.
**
Night 2
**
Jedd stood at the top of the tree, arms outstretched and wings released. There was only one thing he needed to practice, and that was his flying. A trihawk at full flying speed could go as fast as a ss2.
Opening his eyes, he jump from the tree and swung his arms down. Unlike the others, he had to flap his arms to fly, but those wings on them made a big difference in ariel acrobatics, and he was going to practice every trick he could think of.
Maneuver after maneuver, time passed, and Jedd crashed once again into another tree. Sitting on a branch, he waited for the world to stop spinning around him. Once it did, he tried again and got even farther before hitting another tree. 'Ummm, you know, I could help,' came a voice in his head.
'Oh, and how's that?' he asked.
He head Jayla laugh, 'Well, I WAS a trihawk, so I've plenty of flying experience, and I've got a few tricks I could show you...errrr, well you know what I mean.'
'Well, if you could get me to stop indenting myself in trees, I'd love your help.'
'Then get ready, my student! Teacher Jayla's going to teach you everything she knows about flying!'
'You know, there's got to be a joke somewhere about being possessed by your ghost teacher, but I'm in too much pain to think of it!'
**
Day 4
**
Garon slipped up behind Trunks while Arak pressed the frontal attack on their opponent. A sidekick to Trunk's side would have sent the half saiyan into the nearby mountain, except Arak hit him with a telekinetic blow, knocking him right back to Garon, who slammed fist after fist into Trunks stomach.
He didn't even notice as Goten slipped up behind HIM, grabbed his, shoulder, turned him around, and calmly slammed his fist into Garon's face.
Gohan had recruited Trunks and Goten to help train Garon and Arak that day for 2 on 2 battling. As it was, there were on an equal playing field now.
Garon fell to the ground until he slammed his arms back and halted his descent. Throwing himself back in the fray, he charged right at Goten. He would have fought dirty, but that probably wouldn't go well with Gohan, so he had to keep this clean.
Flying below Goten, Garon grabbed his leg and began swinging Goten around and around, over and over again, just like before ((private joke)). When he let go, he sent Goten careening into the mountain. Now it was Trunks again.
He flew at the lavender haired boy.
**
Vegeta paced back and force, back and force. A trihawk......A TRIHAWK!!!! This was impossible. It couldn't be happening, it just couldn't.
And not because he didn't want it to be happening, but because it just plain COULDN'T be happening! IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
He was in his gravity chamber, set to 700 times normal gravity, and a ss2....and TICKED OFF!!!
There was no way, no WAY IN HELL a trihawk could be here....he should know.....After all, he had killed the last trihawk himself....
He stopped pacing at the memory, and shuddered. He looked out the window at the sky. How long ago had it been since he had gone to that planet as a child, how long ago since he killed.....
**
Jedd was surrounded by darkness. He and Jayla were trying something new....a first meeting. He was waiting for her to 'show up', and he didn't have to wait long as a form began shimmering in the darkness. She stood about his height, long, light blue hair pulled back in a pony tail, icy blue eyes, and the trihawk's blue wingblades.
Jedd looked at her, "Hmmm, blue seems to be the color with trihawks, doesn't it?"
Jayla laughed, "Better believe it! Now, lets get to training, I'm not staying in the body of a guy that doesn't know how to fly WITHOUT hitting trees!"
Jedd grinned, "Training training training, that's all that goes on around here!"
Jayla smirked, "At least you can train in your sleep, how's that for an advantage, empath boy!"
Jedd nodded, laughing, "Anytime you're ready, empath girl!"
**
Day 6
**
Bulma looked around, "Is everyone ready to go? Where's Jedd?"
Garon smirked, "Probably still in bed."
A voice came up from behind him, "Probably behind the short guy."
Garon chuckled, turning around, "You're awake before noon!"
Jedd groaned, "Dawn, it's just Damn with an upside down W. So, when we leaving? I could use a good fly to stretch my arms."
Bulma looked at him, "You're flying by yourself?"
"I don't want to be near the spoilsport husband of yours. And unlike my lazy counterparts, I'm still training!"
Garon glared at him "FUCK YOU! I'm flying there myself too!"
Arak chimed in, "Count me in also! I bet we get there before you do!"
Jedd laughed, "I'll fly circles around you two, figure eight style even!"
Bulma smiled, "Then I guess we're ready to go!"
**
Garon looked around, but he couldn't find Jedd anywhere. They had only been flying for 20 minutes and he had lost the trihawk all ready! Damn that Jedd, where did he-
"GARON! LOOK OUT!" Arak screamed, throwing a mental picture of a trihawk diving from the clouds at him.
Garon banked a hard right and something flew by right where he had been. He watched Jedd speed towards the ground, then arc back up, spinning as he did. In the span of a single second, he was back in the clouds again. "SHOW OFF!" he yelled at Jedd.
Laughter echoed around him, "I thought you two were supposed to have been training. Come on and catch me!"
Arak searched around with her mind, "He's moving too fast for me to get a lock on him, FUCK! I can't read him!"
Garon grinned, "Then we'll just have to catch him!" He gave chase flying up in the clouds with Arak right behind him. But as he got above the clouds, he notice Jedd was still no where to be seen. Thinking he must have gone below the clouds, he ducked under them again, but still no Jedd.
Arak called out as a thought occurred to her, "Ummm, Garon? You don't think....."
Garon looked back at her, slowing down until they were side by side, "Think what?" "Well, he's an empath.....so he might be able to feel where WE are by our emotions, and that's how he's hiding?"
Garon stared ahead, then let out a string of curses, "DAMN HIM!! He's CHEATING!"
"Am I?" asked a voice from above them.
Garon and Arak looked up in time to see Jedd launch himself higher, and higher.....and higher until he was nothing but a speck.
It was Arak that was able to talk first, "Well, that explains where he went, now how do we get to him? He's too high up!"
She was about to say more when Jedd did another dive bomb.
Garon groaned, "I'm really beginning to hate trihawks! How the fuck can he be so fast?"
**
Gohan watched all the activities from inside the plane. The trihawk's speed was incredible. Now he could see why Jedd had been confident about not being caught. Even Arak would have a hard time catching him at that speed! And that empathy of his, there was no telling what limits there were on that gift, or what he could do with it. He didn't have much time to study it, but what he had learned scared him.
Jedd had the ability not only to feel emotions, but transmit them also. That explained the cold fear he had felt right before Jedd had killed Spopovitch. Transmitting alone was dangerous enough, but there were other things. An empath could also feel what hurt a person, or make someone feel the empaths pain, emotional OR physical. Fighting an empath could be like fighting yourself!
An empath, a psychic, and a powerhouse. These three teens had come into this world somehow, and no one, not even them, knew why. What was going on?
He shook his head, feeling as if he had just made a horrible pun.
Well, with the tournament the day after tomorrow, he'd have to worry about beating these kids.
**
Jedd couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he watched his friends below him. With his empathy, he could feel whenever Arak tried something with he psychic powers, and was able to avoid whatever it was. He couldn't tell what she was trying, only that she was trying something.
Well, they'd find out he had learned much more than how to just fly. He was no powerhouse, but speed was all he needed to win this tournament, and he planned on winning. And with his two trump cards, one for Garon and Arak, the other a major back up card, he planned on taking this place by storm.
And things were going according to his little plan right now. By dodging the two, he was throwing off their game, as it were. If he could keep it up, well, all the better for him at the tournament.
**
Garon: What the fuck? You get trump cards? What are they?
Jedd: Why would I tell you? If I did, you'd be able to prepare against them!
Arak: I'll just read your....mind? Hey, why can't I read your mind?!
Jedd: I lost my mind years ago, it kept trying to come back but I'd just send it away!
Arak: No, really? Why can't I read your mind?
Jedd: I'm serious, I don't have a-URK-
Garon, who just blasted Jedd: What? I got to hurt him SOMEhow every muse!
Jedd:.....medic.....
Garon, thinking of something, gives Jedd a sensu bean: Now, what the hell was with all the plot in this chapter?
Jedd: Urk, there were a lot of things that had to be answered, so I just used this chapter to connect all the dots, and put in our training to make it actually sound like a story. Pretty ingenious, no?
Garon, hitting Jedd with the baseball bat from before, same area: No.
Arak: MY TURN!!
Jedd:......I hate you all!
Arak: What's that?
Jedd: I can't think of anything funny to do for the disclaimer.
Garon hits Jedd between the legs with a baseball bat: Problem solved.
Arak: Jedd doesn't own DBZ, but does own trihawks and cat children. Hey Garon, give me that bat. *Takes bat and also hits Jedd, same spot*
Jedd, cringing on the ground in pain,: I hate all of you.
Garon: That's what you get for badmouthing RiverValley!

DBOA Chapter 9 Days of our Lives
** Day 1 **
They were all there, on the planet of the Supreme Kai. The North, South, East, West, Grand, Supreme, and Elder Kais. They had been put there and stranded by the mysterious cloaked man. Unable to get off the planet, and unable to contact anyone, they were out of the picture.
And Elder was not taking this quietly, much to the others distress, "The nerve of him! How dare he do this to me, after all! I'm an old man, I've got rights and privileges! This is rude and uncalled for conduct! When I get my hands on Fyr, I'll give him and earful!"
Supreme looked up, "Fyr? That's the madman's name? How do you know him, Elder?"
Elder froze in midrant, then turned to look at the assorted Kais, "You mean you don't know? You can't tell?" All he got was a bunch of shaking heads. "Honestly, kids today! Don't pay any attention to history! Fyr is a Kai, like us!"
South jumped up, "Whaaaat?! How can HE be a Kai?!"
"SHUT UP AND MAYBE I'LL TELL YOU!!!!" Elder shouted, causing South to fall backwards, "That's better. Since you're all so uneducated, I'll just have to explain this, then. Millenia ago there was another Kai, the Kai of Death. He determined where souls would go when they came to the Otherworld. But after centuries of centuries of seeing evil hearts, of dealing with cruel people, he lost faith in life and sought to destroy it.
"Because he was the Kai of Death, he was able to take the souls of the dead and use them to make himself more powerful. When he started killing, he would grow more powerful still, with the souls of those he destroyed. Galaxy after galaxy fell before him, and he became unstoppable, until he came to the planet of the Saiyans. In a mighty showdown, one saiyan, pushed beyond his limits by watching his friends and family slaughtered before him, turned into the final form of Super Saiyan, and killed Fyr, at the cost of his own life.
"But, as you have seen with Northern Kai, we still retain our bodies, even after death. So us Kais sealed Fyr away, so he'd never be released again. I'm afraid that battle with Buu must have cracked the seal we set upon him, and he's finally broken free. Or he was free and had been lying low. Whatever the case, Fyr is free, gaining the strength of every person that dies, and he's out for blood."
**
Fyr stood there, thinking. A Cat Child...very rare. Cat Children were a very interesting species. They looked almost human, with feline ears and a tail. But it was their powers that made them interesting. The most frail and weakest of this species had as much raw physical strength as Spopovitch had, but that was it. They couldn't use energy waves, nor could they fly. But in contrast, they were energy resistant, making energy waves useless against them, then there was the fact that they could transform. Into what, he didn't know.
He had learned all this from a soul he had devoured, the soul of a Cat Child. And now he knew what else was heading for Earth. A Cat Child, who shared the planet that the Trihawks lived on, who was the Trihawks mortal enemy.
**
Garon gasped for breath as he sparred with Arak. After a while, they had figured out how to make her a lethal opponent. As soon as she had figured out how to use telekinesis, she added that power to her punches and kicks. The result was meant she could match him blow for blow. Add to the fact she could simply use her telekinesis to hit him, she was keeping him on his toes, even though they were flying.
Gohan watched from below. His training was simple, wear really heavy clothes and fight until he stopped them. It had already been 3 hours since they had started, and they hadn't stopped yet, not even for a break.
AND THAT BITCH WAS CONSTANTLY IN HIS HEAD!!! She was reading his mind so she knew what he would do even as he tried it. The only good part was that it was with all these advantages that put her on an equal fighting level with him. Finally, Gohan called them down, and they had to do a series of stretches. After 10 minutes of that, they were allowed to relax. Looking around, Garon noticed Jedd still wasn't around, oh well. Garon still couldn't believe it, he was actually going to participate in the World's Martial Arts Tournament, only a week away! Gohan had said afterwards, he'd teach them energy waves. Life was getting better.
**
Chi Chi chuckled, "Well, you're certainly handy in the kitchen!"
Jedd laughed, "Just call me the lean, mean, vegetable cutting machine!" He tossed several carrots into the air and in a series of swipes, skinned them, cut off the ends, and cut them into cubic pieces. This was his training, working on his accuracy with his wings, and he was getting very good with them. Also, he was making sure to use his empathy to make Chi Chi feel happy around him, this way she wouldn't feel like hitting him on the head with a frying pan because of his dumb jokes.
While Garon and Arak had been training with Gohan, he had been busy training in his own way, and felt fairly confident that he stood a good chance at actually LIVING through the tournament. As he thought that, he felt someone laughing in the back of his head.
'Oh, shut up, Jayla,' he thought at her.
**
Brolly looked around. The tournament grounds themselves were empty. But there was already a crowd of people eagerly waiting outside for the tournament to start in 1 week. 1 week and Kakarot would show up for the tournament. 1 week, and he'd be able to fight a REAL one on one battle with him. Oh yes, he'd wait for this...
**
Fyr smiled, things were going very well. All his fighters now were powered by the Juuin magic, magic from the combined powers of Bipidy and Bopidy. On top of that, he had the two working on a special project even now, a very special project.
And even Dr. Gero was helping. It seemed Cell WASN'T his last experiment. Cell had a sister, Ary, who remained shut down. She was a defective version of Cell because Piccolo's cells wouldn't take with her, though all the others did. Because of this defect, Gero had installed the energy absorbing devices into her hands.
Soon, he'd have even more warriors. Yes, things were going better than he had even dared hope. He reached up and pulled back his hood. He looked human, except for his pitch black eyes. He had short, ebony hair with a strife of ivory white down the middle. He took a deep breath, and smiled, "With those souls I've taken, I've finally gotten my body back, but I'm still nothing but a shadow of my former self, but this is a start. For every person that dies anywhere, I grow stronger. My gift, as the Death Kai.
** Day 2 **
Jedd groaned, bored. There was literally NOTHING to do around this house! He was at Hercules home. Apparently Vegeta had banned him from being anywhere near Capsule Corp., and frankly until he found out what the deal was with this 'Jayla', he didn't want to see Vegeta. Though she had been very helpful as of late. He had learned a great deal about her, like she had once been a trihawk, meaning that this was a species that existed in this dimension, before she had died. That had been a shock, finding out he was possessed in a fashion.
But with her help, he had a major trump card he could use against Arak and Garon in the WMAT, and he had another one, a very special trump card.
....................
BUT HE WAS STILL BORED!!!!
He looked at his travel bag, which he had kept brought with him and began rummaging through it. His CD case, CD walkman, Yu-Gi-Oh deck, cell phone, and Garon's Yu-Gi-Oh deck? Oh yeah, he had grabbed that before being transported here. Well, he could duel, but with whom?
Goku walked in and Jedd smiled, "Hey Goku! Want to learn a cool game?"
Goku walked over, "What game?"
Jedd handed him Garon's deck, Set, "It's a card game called Yu-Gi-Oh."
Goku took the rubberband bound deck and looked at it, raised it above his head and looked under it, then from side to side, "Ummm, ok!"
Jedd pulled out his own deck, Puck, "Ok, first let me tell you the rules..."
**
3 hours later
**
Garon pushed the door open and staggered inside, Arak right behind him with Gohan following. He and Arak were about to drop from exhaustion because of the intense training. And things were just going to get harder and harder. As much as he got stronger from his saiyan powers, Arak's psychic abilities were growing just as fast!
While there was little sparring today, his training had been hard. He had spent the day working on his accuracy by throwing rocks at a target so far away he could barely see it! That, or he'd be bench pressing boulders while Arak pushed down on them as hard as she could with her telekinesis, the end result being a very fine pile of sand that used to be a boulder.
As he walked in the room, he saw Jedd and Goku playing something. Fuck, didn't that dolt do anything? Did he even bother training?! And what were they play-?.....!!!!!
"THAT'S MY DECK!!!!"
Jedd's head snapped towards him, eyes wide, "Oh shit!"
As Jedd bolted, Garon gave chase, "GET BACK HERE YOU!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU GOT MY DECK, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"
"HEEEEEEEELP!!!"
"AND YOU LET KAKAROT TOUCH IT! DAMN YOU!"
Arak groaned and went to take a shower while Goku, unaware that his opponent had just been chased away, still tried to figure out his move.
**
Night 2
**
Jedd stood at the top of the tree, arms outstretched and wings released. There was only one thing he needed to practice, and that was his flying. A trihawk at full flying speed could go as fast as a ss2.
Opening his eyes, he jump from the tree and swung his arms down. Unlike the others, he had to flap his arms to fly, but those wings on them made a big difference in ariel acrobatics, and he was going to practice every trick he could think of.
Maneuver after maneuver, time passed, and Jedd crashed once again into another tree. Sitting on a branch, he waited for the world to stop spinning around him. Once it did, he tried again and got even farther before hitting another tree. 'Ummm, you know, I could help,' came a voice in his head.
'Oh, and how's that?' he asked.
He head Jayla laugh, 'Well, I WAS a trihawk, so I've plenty of flying experience, and I've got a few tricks I could show you...errrr, well you know what I mean.'
'Well, if you could get me to stop indenting myself in trees, I'd love your help.'
'Then get ready, my student! Teacher Jayla's going to teach you everything she knows about flying!'
'You know, there's got to be a joke somewhere about being possessed by your ghost teacher, but I'm in too much pain to think of it!'
**
Day 4
**
Garon slipped up behind Trunks while Arak pressed the frontal attack on their opponent. A sidekick to Trunk's side would have sent the half saiyan into the nearby mountain, except Arak hit him with a telekinetic blow, knocking him right back to Garon, who slammed fist after fist into Trunks stomach.
He didn't even notice as Goten slipped up behind HIM, grabbed his, shoulder, turned him around, and calmly slammed his fist into Garon's face.
Gohan had recruited Trunks and Goten to help train Garon and Arak that day for 2 on 2 battling. As it was, there were on an equal playing field now.
Garon fell to the ground until he slammed his arms back and halted his descent. Throwing himself back in the fray, he charged right at Goten. He would have fought dirty, but that probably wouldn't go well with Gohan, so he had to keep this clean.
Flying below Goten, Garon grabbed his leg and began swinging Goten around and around, over and over again, just like before ((private joke)). When he let go, he sent Goten careening into the mountain. Now it was Trunks again.
He flew at the lavender haired boy.

Vegeta paced back and force, back and force. A trihawk......A TRIHAWK!!!! This was impossible. It couldn't be happening, it just couldn't.
And not because he didn't want it to be happening, but because it just plain COULDN'T be happening! IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
He was in his gravity chamber, set to 700 times normal gravity, and a ss2....and TICKED OFF!!!
There was no way, no WAY IN HELL a trihawk could be here....he should know.....After all, he had killed the last trihawk himself....
He stopped pacing at the memory, and shuddered. He looked out the window at the sky. How long ago had it been since he had gone to that planet as a child, how long ago since he killed.....

Jedd was surrounded by darkness. He and Jayla were trying something new....a first meeting. He was waiting for her to 'show up', and he didn't have to wait long as a form began shimmering in the darkness. She stood about his height, long, light blue hair pulled back in a pony tail, icy blue eyes, and the trihawk's blue wingblades.
Jedd looked at her, "Hmmm, blue seems to be the color with trihawks, doesn't it?"
Jayla laughed, "Better believe it! Now, lets get to training, I'm not staying in the body of a guy that doesn't know how to fly WITHOUT hitting trees!"
Jedd grinned, "Training training training, that's all that goes on around here!"
Jayla smirked, "At least you can train in your sleep, how's that for an advantage, empath boy!"
Jedd nodded, laughing, "Anytime you're ready, empath girl!"

Day 6
**
Bulma looked around, "Is everyone ready to go? Where's Jedd?"
Garon smirked, "Probably still in bed."
A voice came up from behind him, "Probably behind the short guy."
Garon chuckled, turning around, "You're awake before noon!"
Jedd groaned, "Dawn, it's just Damn with an upside down W. So, when we leaving? I could use a good fly to stretch my arms."
Bulma looked at him, "You're flying by yourself?"
"I don't want to be near the spoilsport husband of yours. And unlike my lazy counterparts, I'm still training!"
Garon glared at him "FUCK YOU! I'm flying there myself too!"
Arak chimed in, "Count me in also! I bet we get there before you do!"
Jedd laughed, "I'll fly circles around you two, figure eight style even!"
Bulma smiled, "Then I guess we're ready to go!"
**
Garon looked around, but he couldn't find Jedd anywhere. They had only been flying for 20 minutes and he had lost the trihawk all ready! Damn that Jedd, where did he-
"GARON! LOOK OUT!" Arak screamed, throwing a mental picture of a trihawk diving from the clouds at him.
Garon banked a hard right and something flew by right where he had been. He watched Jedd speed towards the ground, then arc back up, spinning as he did. In the span of a single second, he was back in the clouds again. "SHOW OFF!" he yelled at Jedd.
Laughter echoed around him, "I thought you two were supposed to have been training. Come on and catch me!"
Arak searched around with her mind, "He's moving too fast for me to get a lock on him, FUCK! I can't read him!"
Garon grinned, "Then we'll just have to catch him!" He gave chase flying up in the clouds with Arak right behind him. But as he got above the clouds, he notice Jedd was still no where to be seen. Thinking he must have gone below the clouds, he ducked under them again, but still no Jedd.
Arak called out as a thought occurred to her, "Ummm, Garon? You don't think....."
Garon looked back at her, slowing down until they were side by side, "Think what?" "Well, he's an empath.....so he might be able to feel where WE are by our emotions, and that's how he's hiding?"
Garon stared ahead, then let out a string of curses, "DAMN HIM!! He's CHEATING!"
"Am I?" asked a voice from above them.
Garon and Arak looked up in time to see Jedd launch himself higher, and higher.....and higher until he was nothing but a speck.
It was Arak that was able to talk first, "Well, that explains where he went, now how do we get to him? He's too high up!"
She was about to say more when Jedd did another dive bomb.
Garon groaned, "I'm really beginning to hate trihawks! How the fuck can he be so fast?"
**
Gohan watched all the activities from inside the plane. The trihawk's speed was incredible. Now he could see why Jedd had been confident about not being caught. Even Arak would have a hard time catching him at that speed! And that empathy of his, there was no telling what limits there were on that gift, or what he could do with it. He didn't have much time to study it, but what he had learned scared him.
Jedd had the ability not only to feel emotions, but transmit them also. That explained the cold fear he had felt right before Jedd had killed Spopovitch. Transmitting alone was dangerous enough, but there were other things. An empath could also feel what hurt a person, or make someone feel the empaths pain, emotional OR physical. Fighting an empath could be like fighting yourself!
An empath, a psychic, and a powerhouse. These three teens had come into this world somehow, and no one, not even them, knew why. What was going on?
He shook his head, feeling as if he had just made a horrible pun.
Well, with the tournament the day after tomorrow, he'd have to worry about beating these kids.
**
Jedd couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he watched his friends below him. With his empathy, he could feel whenever Arak tried something with he psychic powers, and was able to avoid whatever it was. He couldn't tell what she was trying, only that she was trying something.
Well, they'd find out he had learned much more than how to just fly. He was no powerhouse, but speed was all he needed to win this tournament, and he planned on winning. And with his two trump cards, one for Garon and Arak, the other a major back up card, he planned on taking this place by storm.
And things were going according to his little plan right now. By dodging the two, he was throwing off their game, as it were. If he could keep it up, well, all the better for him at the tournament.
**
Garon: What the fuck? You get trump cards? What are they?
Jedd: Why would I tell you? If I did, you'd be able to prepare against them!
Arak: I'll just read your....mind? Hey, why can't I read your mind?!
Jedd: I lost my mind years ago, it kept trying to come back but I'd just send it away!
Arak: No, really? Why can't I read your mind?
Jedd: I'm serious, I don't have a-URK-
Garon, who just blasted Jedd: What? I got to hurt him SOMEhow every muse!
Jedd:.....medic.....
Garon, thinking of something, gives Jedd a sensu bean: Now, what the hell was with all the plot in this chapter?
Jedd: Urk, there were a lot of things that had to be answered, so I just used this chapter to connect all the dots, and put in our training to make it actually sound like a story. Pretty ingenious, no?
Garon, hitting Jedd with the baseball bat from before, same area: No.
Arak: MY TURN!!
Jedd:......I hate you all!
