Well, once again there's not much to say except that here's where the action and suspense starts up again. Here's a chapter that I had a lot of trouble writing due to the fact that I don't want my own characters out of character… I shouldn't have to worry about that, but I know it will be the timing that gets me…

Anyway, I really don't want to worry you with my own problems, just enjoy this chapter!

Mystic Saiyan-Ch20-Alexis's Findings and the Only Thing Sakidra Ever Feared.

Alexis's Point of View—Three months later…

There goes New Namek, I should be closing in on Earth in no time.

After I had arrived on Kamorae, I greeted Charakka and little Sukara first. I had arrived in the palace gardens, where Kagari would be staying; but I decided to stay on Kamorae a while. After all, it had been a while since I had been here for anything other than strictly business.

As Charakka, my sister's not-so-mentioned mate, was leading Kamorae in her absence, I decided to take over for a while and give him a break. I just then realized how tiring it really was. No wonder Charakka looked nothing short of I'm-going-to-collapse-now whenever I saw him.

I was able to help in Sukara's training while I was there. My little niece was really happy to see me and asked when her mother would be back. I told her that Saki would be back as soon as she could, and I really hoped that it could be soon.

After three months, I decided that I had left Sakidra alone long enough and decided to go back to Earth. After bidding Charakka, Sukara and Kagari farewell, I hailed one of the faster Mystic ships and sped off toward Earth.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that I had just passed Pluto. It meant that I was in the right system at least. I passed the planets, one by one, until I came to the largest in the system. I believe it was called Jupiter. I took a look around, enjoying the scenic route, when I found something interesting. I saw a silhouette against Jupiter's surface. This silhouette worried me though. It looked familiar in the worst kind of way. A closer look at it as I passed the planet confirmed my fears.

How he finally found her, no one knows; but I really don't know. I have to tell her, now! I switched on to turbo drive and sped off toward the distant Earth, hoping the object of my sister's only fears didn't notice my passing.

Sakidra's Point of view—The Next day…

"Okay people. Let's get right into it. Today's lesson of sorts will be long-distance Chaos Transportation. Meet me in the mountains." I told them and dissipated in a black haze, immediately arriving in the mountains. Moments later, Goku and Vegeta appeared within ten feet from me. Trunks took a little longer, but materialized right above me, nearly toppling me before being able to right himself.

"That was good. Let's go back to Capsule Corp. though. I have to get one more thing in before calling it a day…" And with that, I vanished again to reappear in the yard, awaiting the others. Soon though, they caught up and I started Goku and Trunks on the Mimicry Blast, telling them the same thing I told Vegeta about its limitations.

Soon enough, I felt a presence behind me and I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Alexis standing there after a good three month absence.

"What's up Alexis? And why did it take you so long?" I asked him. He seemed anxious so I let him talk.

"Can I speak to you…privately?" He hesitated, nodding to the others. He seemed edgy about something. The feeling that I've had in my stomach came back full force as I realized that something was definitely wrong. If he wouldn't talk to me in front of the others who knew my major secret, I knew something was dangerously amiss. Kagari's words came back to me immediately.

…"Yes, the current danger at hand. I wish you luck with your trials."…

"Sure. Let's go." I said, vanishing again only to appear in the mountains again. Alexis followed me out. We hovered there for a while, an uncomfortable silence between us before I decided to sit on a stray boulder. Alexis seemed more anxious than even before and it caused me to worry even more than usual.

"What is it? Something's definitely wrong if you're out of whack like this. Spill." I told him. He looked at me and it was only then when I actually paid attention to his expression. He was truly worried and it made me inwardly terrified. He looked as if he were about to have a nervous breakdown. He opened his mouth after a minute or so. It took a couple of stuttered attempts, but he eventually spoke.

"He's here. He found you." He said. Time stopped and I felt as if Vegeta was killed all over again. I shot up onto my feet. If Alexis was suggesting what I thought… My feelings were true horror right now and I now realized why he pulled me away from everyone else. There was no way I could hide my true feelings from carving their own expression on my face.

"You're kidding. It's not nice to kid like that. Please tell me you're just kidding, Alexis." I muttered, completely in shock as I collapsed onto the rock again. He shook his head.

"I'm not kidding. I saw his ship on Jupiter right before I arrived. There was no mistaking it. It's him." He explained.

"This is impossible! How could he have found me that quickly? I've been masking my power for the most part; he shouldn't have been able to catch on to me!" I yelled, now realizing that this was the cause of the anxious feeling in my stomach.

"There is absolutely no mistaking his ship. It was in Jupiter's orbit when I last saw it. Hopefully he didn't notice me. I passed him farther away, but there's always a chance." He explained.

"Well, this explains the anxious pit in my stomach that I've been feeling for a while. But if he knew that I was going to Takara, why is he here? Takara is at least three systems from here! How did he find me!" I asked.

"It could've happened when you did your Blood Fusion Form. That has the most amount of power and he would've known to sense for that." He suggested.

"You're right. I'm such a fool! I knew I shouldn't have let that idiot get to me, but he killed Vegeta! I just lost control!" I screamed in hysterics.

"Saki, calm down. This is not your fault. This is that idiot Halorian's fault. If it wasn't for that power hungry race, we wouldn't be in this predicament. If it weren't for the damn Kalastrians obliterating the entire Haloria System, that damn group of renegades wouldn't have sought us out. This is far before your time, Saki. Don't blame yourself." Alexis pointed out, consoling me, or trying his hardest to anyway.

"But why is it he's after me? What did I ever do to him? I didn't destroy his damn family, his damn home! Why is this idiot on a bloodthirsty rampage anyway? Hasn't he done enough by completely annihilating Planet Kalastra? He blew the entire system into their five suns! Why is he after us?" I asked.

"It's because Serena denied them what they wanted. I know why she did it now. She saw what would happen if she gave the power to them, and knew that it would be purely catastrophic. I think Serena depended on us to handle this." Alexis explained.

"The point remains that he will eventually arrive here. He'll destroy this entire planet to get to you. We have to get out of here…now." Alexis added. I sobered up and stopped my hysterics. After I calmed down, I realized something that might work.

"No. I have an idea of something that might work for us. Since I found my other brother, I might be able to pull off the Trinity Blood Fusion." I told him. He looked shocked before he regained control of his facial muscles.

"Impossible and you know it. Vegeta will need another lifetime of training before he can even come close to being able to take the fusion. Not to mention that he's a Saiyan, he can't use the Chaos, or have you forgotten that?" He asked.

"But he can. I've been training him and his so-called friends how to use the Chaos and I haven't had any casualties yet. They are all powerful enough to maintain it, with the exception of Goku's son and the Humans, that is. Also, Piccolo seems to have a problem with it, but you can never tell with him. The only one we really need is Vegeta. Though you do have a point. Vegeta does need another two years of training before he can be powerful enough to handle the fusion. What's his estimated arrival?" I asked.

"Well, if he takes his time, he'll be here in about a month, but if he just does a quick search, expect him in a week. We don't have much time either way. You have to find a way to accelerate Vegeta's training if you want to go through this plan of yours. Otherwise, we have to leave now." Alexis said.

"I understand…but how will we convince them all? Kane's abilities cannot be sensed and that'll probably make it so the others won't believe us. More than likely, they'll also wonder why I only need Vegeta for this whole ordeal." I pointed out.

"You have a point, there." Alexis replied. "Well, time is running out. Let's just go."

"Sure." I added and vanished in a black haze, reappearing where the others were.

"What was that about?" Trunks asked as my brother and I appeared in front of the group.

"My worst fears have just been confirmed. I have to explain a couple of things, but then I'll need your help." I explained to everyone.

"Worst fears? What do you need to tell us?" Goku asked as he sat down by his son.

"You all might want to sit down. If I know my sister, this'll take a while." Alexis piped in. I punched him in the shoulder and then turned, nodding in agreement. Those standing chose places to sit or lean, depending on their preferences. I took a deep breath before plunging into my story.

"Goku, remember that night I told you about the different species that were after the knowledge of the Chaos?" I asked.

"Yeah. I remember, why?" He replied.

"Most of them just gave up after a few tries, understanding our stubbornness and realizing that we would never release the secrets of the Chaos to them. However, there was a war about 50 Earth years ago between two species: the Halorians and the Kalastrians…

"The Kalastrians were an abomination to the entire Universe. A matter of fact, and it looks as if Vegeta is aware of this, before Frieza's true intentions were realized, it was rumored that it was the Kalastrians who had destroyed the Saiyan planet; well, to those who thought the meteor theory to be completely out of the water. The entirety of the inhabitants of Planet Kalastra can be set off on a rage at a pin drop. This didn't help the doomed inhabitants of the many planets of the Haloria system, either.

"It can't technically be called a war, even; it was over before it had begun. The Halorians were thought to have stolen something from a passing fleet of Kalastrians; it was unimportant really. The Kalastrians had demanded the object back and the Halorians claimed not to have it. The Kalastrians, convinced of the Halorians' guilt, decided to obliterate the entire Haloria system as punishment and as the token of their rage." I explained.

"That's horrible!" Gohan exclaimed.

"I know." I replied before continuing.

"That's not the end of it. A group of Halorians was just on their way back from Takara—it's a sort of trade planet—when they realized that their home was completely gone. At the edge of their field of vision, they saw a fleet of ships that bore the very specific traits of Kalastrian ships. They knew then that they were no match for these rage-killers and sought out the only help they could find within light-years—the Mystics.

"Serena, who was still queen at that time, turned these newcomers away with the same phrase that she had used millions of times before with others who sought out the Chaos. Even after several audiences and points made, Serena still wouldn't listen. They eventually left, but intercepted us right before we reached Kamorae, knowing that we had been thrown from our previous home.

"With Alexis and I at her side, our mother still wouldn't give in to the Halorians' pleas. I remember that day, the deep blue eyes that had captured mine. We remained in a staring match for what must have been minutes before he parted. I couldn't help but realize that I would be seeing him again sooner or later." I took a break. Alexis looked at me.

"You never mentioned this to me before." He said.

"I know. I never wanted you to know. I thought it was just a silly thought of a four-year-old that you kept telling me about…" I replied.

"Is that it, or are we meant to suffer through endless interruptions?" Vegeta shot at me.

"I'm getting there, Oh Impatient One." I bit back.

"As soon as we reached Kamorae, we received news that the entire Kalas System had been blown into their five suns. We all had no doubt that it was the Halorians that had done it. They had carried out their revenge, but they were still after the Chaos; as I was meant to realize later.

"I was about seven years into the throne when he found me again. I was on Takara that day, on a…shopping trip of sorts. Our planet needed supplies and Takara was the closest place I could find them. He cornered me and demanded the Chaos.

"I asked him why he needed it when he had already carried out his revenge. He had his own reasons, was what he said. I told him no and he departed once again, but not before threatening Kamorae and everyone residing there.

"His name is Kane. He doesn't want the Chaos to become stronger—he's already strong enough to kill me—he wants it for his own bloodthirsty goals. In the way of revenge, he lost his soul. He now wants the entire Universe to drown in the same spiral of destruction that he has witnessed and suffered through his life. This is the reason he wants the Chaos and it is the reason we cannot let him have it. I remember telling Trunks once that I haven't lived on Kamorae in nearly ten years. This abomination is the reason why. If I had stayed, he would've destroyed Kamorae and the remaining Mystics to learn their secret." I finished.

"Huh? He's strong enough to kill you? Why don't you do that transformation that you used at the Cell Games? You said yourself that you hadn't used that form since you first attained it." Piccolo asked skeptically.

"It's quite simple. My power is unstable. If I used all of my power, which I would have to do in a fight against him, the repercussions would be enough to destroy a good part of this system anyway. Not to mention, the only way I could actually tap into that kind of power was if I was about to die to begin with. So, if I die, this world along with every other within two systems, would be destroyed. If I kill him using this power, those same worlds are destroyed in the backblast. It's a double-edged sword with no handle. There's only one way to stabilize my power long enough to kill him without the complications.

"It's called the Trinity Blood Fusion. I'm half Mystic, half Saiyan, so my powers and energies are naturally in a constant imbalance. There are only two people who can remedy this situation—my two half brothers. One is full-blood Mystic and the other is a full-blood Saiyan. They can stabilize my power and they are the only way that I can beat Kane." I explained.

"Are you talking about Alexis and Vegeta?" Goku asked.

"Of course. We need to be serious about this because we only have about seven days before he arrives." I said.

"What's the catch? What is keeping us from going up there and kicking his ass right now?" Vegeta asked, kicking off the wall he was leaning against.

"The major problem is, there is absolutely no way you could survive the fusion as it stands now. Before you interrupt, this isn't like your kind of fusion, either. This type can only be done within family and Vegeta would be torn apart if we tried right now. We need another three years' training before you can handle it without the side-effects; two years if we're lucky." I said. I let them all ingest this for a minute before Krillin, Trunks, and Goku suddenly stood straight up.

"You can use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!" They exclaimed.

"Interesting idea… It would only take about two days if the rumors are true. It looks like your only way out if you don't want to leave and draw Kane away from this planet. What about you, Saki?" Alexis asked, walking to my side.

"Would you be up to it, Vegeta?" I asked, turning to face him.

"Do I even have a choice?" He asked. "Let's go." I was really surprised.

"You heard him, let's go. Kain will be here in about a week and I have a lot of stamina to strengthen." I disappeared in a black haze, half the others following suit before reappearing at the Lookout and preparing for another two years of nothing but training. What did I get myself into?

:.EoC.:

Phew! That was challenging. My original of this chapter made Sakidra a Mary Sue and I had to severely change that. It was also about 2/3 as long as this… I made up that entire history lesson on a whim…had to in order to make it believable…

There are only—Looks at story chart—five chapters to go. As for the HTC trip, I know that there are limits and while I'm not particularly sure as to the specifics of those limits, I'm sure I broke at least one. Don't flame me for that fact because I should deserve to at least have a creative license in the department…

Well, my most challenging revisions will occur in the next couple chapters because their originals were spread over about seven chapters… Good Luck to me… Meanwhile, the preview:

As Vegeta and Sakidra are mercilessly training in the Time Chamber, Alexis is out fooling around with Goku and the others. In the midst of their day-to-day activities, we get a little more insight on the Mystic/Saiyan grudge and a little more Halorian history. Gravity changes ensue, Vegeta finds a new trick to be put up his sleeve, and: "I swear, when I get out if this, I will kill you." Well, till next time! Please review if you hold it within your hearts to do so, I am in desperate need of feedback on this chapter...!
