Thank. Goodness. With the overwhelming vote towards no GokuxKorra and my personal opinion, it will not happen. Like, it won't even be mentioned at all. That would have been really weird to write and could get confusing really quick. So please forget about it entirely.

I haven't responded to any reviews yet and I won't for now, but I'll address the guest reviewer SSGSSJ3 Vegito. Sorry dude, but I honestly don't know how I would make that work. I'm not that into romance between minor characters anyways and forget about me doing a rated M story. You have to get someone else to do it for you.

I'm sorry to inform you guys of this, but this story won't be updated in quite a while, so yes from hereon out, it is on hiatus. Not an indefinite hiatus, but temporary.

Leave your thoughts in the review section below! Tell me what you thought of this chapter. Was it too short? Did I miss certain facts?


"I think I have a favor for you," Korra put it simply. Goku blinked then chuckled a bit.

"That was quick," he remarked.

Korra put her hand behind her head and scratched it. "Well, I was hoping you could show me that technique of yours...whaddya call it again? The red aura and all?" she asked of him. Give her a break, she's only heard the name once.

"You mean Kaioken?" Goku was flabbergasted by her request. He didn't even know if she could manipulate her energy at all and that technique took him several months to learn. But then again she only wanted him to show it so he could comply with that.

The Avatar's expression lit up and snapped her fingers. "Yeah! That's what I meant to say."

Goku wasn't really a fan of showing off his moves to just anyone but this girl seemed adamant about it. Oh well, not like any harm was being done. He smiled and nodded at her. "Sure why not? I'll show you the Kaioken just one more time." A quick look at his surroundings told him that this probably wasn't the best place to do it. Korra seemed to read his thoughts as she started towards the door.

"Come on outside. I'm sure Su won't like it if her room got messed up," she suggested. Goku said nothing as he followed her out the door, agreeing with her statement. It was nearly dusk outside, as the sun was about to set for the day. The two made their way to an open grass area in front of a couple buildings that were currently vacated; the perfect place for a demonstration such as this.

"Alright, I think this place is good," Goku said. Korra took a few steps back from him, remembering what had happened last time and was prepared for the wind that wouldn't hit her in the face this time. The Saiyan widened his stance as he prepared for the power increase.

"Kaioken!" Surprisingly, only a gentle breeze came out of the burst of power, as a gentle red aura surrounded Goku again, this time less violently. This was only the base powerup, so it felt like nothing to him now. His hair didn't flow upwards as much anymore either, long since having gained proper control over it.

He looked at the Water Tribe to see her reaction. It wasn't a surprised face; more like in awe or something akin to it. "Wow...I've never seen anything like this before," she managed to get out. Not that she had seen many auras before in the first place, but it looked like he was in complete control.

The alien grinned cheekily. "Well, I did kind of learn this in the afterlife," he pointed out just to tease her.

Korra turned red out of embarrassment, forgetting the fact that the man had freaking died then came back. In all her years as the Avatar, resurrection was not really a topic that she ever thought she would deal with. "Yeah well...I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. And that you're not from this world either. I thought being the Avatar would help me deal with this."

Goku shrugged as he let his red aura die down slowly. Then he picked up on a piece of what she said. "You're a...what? A labrador?"

Korra almost face-palmed at that. "No! I'm the Avatar! Master of all four elements and that stuff-" she paused as she remembered...again that he was an alien. He didn't know jackshit about what an Avatar was. Regaining her composure she gave an apologetic look to him. "I'm sorry. I keep forgetting that you're a spaceman."

He only shrugged again. "None taken."

"Well on our world, we have normal ordinary people called non-benders. People who can't bend an element. Then we have people who can bend one element like air, water, earth, or fire. But there's only one person in the whole world that can bend all those elements. Care to take a guess who?" she questioned smugly. No matter what anyone said, she will always be proud to be the Avatar.

Goku only scratched his head and gave a blank look to her. "Uh...question? What the heck is bending an element?"

This time Korra was prepared. "I meant manipulating an element. Nobody wants to say air manipulation or water manipulation, so we just call it airbending or waterbending," she answered swiftly. He nodded, signaling for her to continue.

"I'm the Avatar, meaning only I can bend all four elements," she revealed to him. His eyes widened a bit before he connected the dots in his head.

"So that's why your energy is the strongest I've felt on this planet so far." Well if this girl was important, maybe he could get a quick spar here after all.

Now it was Korra's turn to be surprised. "You can feel someone else's energy?"

Goku nodded. "Sure I can. Everything here has it's own distinct life or spiritual energy. The grass, the trees, the animals, the people here. But," he dragged out that last word a bit as his face turned into a slight frown. "Why does there feel like there's another...signature inside you."

She knew exactly who he was talking about and didn't feel like elaborating everything for him now. "Just the perks of being an Avatar," she waved it off casually. He apparently got the hint as he decided to stop prying. But what caught him off guard was what she asked next.

"Can anyone learn how to use this Kaioken?!" she asked suddenly. The Super Saiyan actually took a step back in surprise. He should have expected that by now, but still...did she really think that this was easy? He was silent for a moment, scrutinizing her under his gaze with a serious look. She looked back at him with equal determination.

"I'm sorry...but I can't," he revealed to her solemnly, looking down at his feet.

Korra's expression visibly deflated right away. "What? Why not?"

He looked back at her with sympathetic eyes. "It's not that I don't want to, honest." Her behavior so far showed that she was more of the demanding type. Not well suited for a technique such as this.

The Avatar spread her arms out questioningly. "Then why? Is it too hard to do or something?"

Nodding, he began his explanation. "Yeah see that's the thing. The Kaioken isn't some sort of plaything that you can learn in a few hours. It's a really tough martial arts discipline that took me months to learn, even when I totally dedicated myself to it." A part of himself was surprised he managed to think of all that.

"I guess so. Sorry for asking, it looked pretty neat to me," she apologized uncharacteristically. 'That's weird. Usually I'd be yelling or angry right now.' Tenzin would be so proud of her, she thought with amusement.

Goku put his hands behind his head. "No biggie. I actually acted the same way you did when I first saw it being demonstrated." That was another thing King Kai had instilled in him: Lots and lots of patience, all being worth it in the end.

"So I guess you'll be leaving for your home tomorrow then," Korra asked, wanting to change the subject. Goku put a finger on his chin, thinking about it long and hard. While he could do that, there was an entire world waiting to be explored. No way was he going to pass that up.

"Nah, maybe in a couple days. I'll probably see the sights around this planet for a while before packing up," he told her.

Korra nodded at him, but then made a curious expression. "Oh so then you'll need an airship for that right? Or a boat of some kind," she suggested, but at the same time doubting he'd be able to acquire those things.

The Saiyan blinked. "No it's fine. I can just fly around." To prove his point, he lifted himself off the ground a few feet and levitated there.

Now beginning to think that this was normal by now, Korra gaped in awe. "B-but how? You're not even airbending!" she exclaimed. The teen tried to feel any disturbed air currents with her hands but couldn't find any.

He stopped his levitation and landed on the ground. "No, I'm using the energy in my body to do it; my ki," he answered, yawning the next second. Man he was more tired than he thought.

Korra gave him a confused glance. "Ki? You mean chi?" she asked.

Goku stared at her for a moment before shrugging. "Whatever you guys call a person's energy here. I just push my energy underneath my feet to do it," he explained, putting a hand on his head. This whole planet sure was strange to him. No one knew that flight was possible?

Korra clenched her hands into fists and was about to say something before a man rushed up to them in the field.

He was slightly out of breath and put his hands on his knees so he could catch it. Regaining his composure, he cleared his throat awkwardly and bowed. "Avatar Korra, the matriarch has invited you to a private meeting regarding her daughter. Son Goku, you have also been asked to join."

Korra nodded to him. "When is it supposed to start?"

"Once the gates of Zaofu close for the day," the messenger replied.

She took a quick look at Goku and almost laughed. He had an incredulous look on his face that screamed 'What the heck?'. "Alright. Tell her I'll be there and Goku will be coming along."

Hearing the part about him made him frown. "What? Why do I have to go?"

Almost as if the messenger expected the question, he replied right away. "She states that there will be a full course meal involved."

Any thoughts of not attending were completely vanquished at the thought of food. His frown turned into a full blown grin. "Well why didn't you say so in the first place?" He walked up to him and casually slapped his back. Well, attempted to be casual. Next thing he knew, the poor guy was now rocketing away from the city at high speeds while screaming at the top of his lungs.

"What the heck Goku?! Why'd you do that to him?!" Korra asked with a panicked tone. She wanted to be able to catch the screaming man but he was too far away for her to do any good.

The Saiyan had the same look on his face. "AH! I didn't mean to do that. I'm not used to this planet's gravity yet." With that said, he ignited his white aura and blasted off to catch him, creating winds that blew Korra to the ground.

"What the- Oof!" She landed on her rear end, but that wasn't what surprised her. He was so fast! Not even a second later, he instantly appeared before her with the man over his shoulder, presumably passed out from the shock.

Setting the guy down gently on the grass, Goku ran a hand through his hair. "Oh geez, what do I do now?" He looked at Korra for an answer, but she was still stuttering something incoherent.

"Wha- Bu- How- the- what- did- so- fast..." she tried to form a response, but it was too hard considering her awe. For once in her life, she was utterly stumped. How many surprises did he have with him?

Goku decided to just drop the whole issue and thought about the food on the dining table, making him drool a bit. He held a hand out to Korra, which she declined and got up herself, patting her clothes to get the dust off it.

He chuckled and turned towards the opposite direction. "C'mon! There's a full course meal with my name on it, haha!" He ignited his aura once more and blasted off towards the direction of Suyin's energy, also catching some bystanders by surprise as he zoomed past them.

Korra stood there and just shook her head. "This day has been way too crazy for me," she said to herself as she started walking towards Suyin's home as well.


The Avatar and her friends walked through the halls of the matriarch's home, taking a few glances at the architecture once in awhile. Bolin stretched his arms and yawned loudly, irritating his brother.

"Really Bo? In my ear?" Mako made an irritated face as well.

The earthbender seemingly ignored him and turned to face his Water Tribe friend. "I get that we're Team Avatar, but why did you wake us up to go to this meeting of yours?" he groaned, wiping his eyes of any gunk.

Asami slapped him on the arm lightly. "Hey you volunteered for this mission Bo. We came to help Korra remember?" she was amused when he yawned again, this time even louder.

Korra smirked at him. "I didn't want to get bored that's all," she giggled a bit as he pouted at her. "Besides, I'm hearing from city boy here," Mako rolled his eyes at the nickname, "that you got a thing for Opal."

Bolin fake gasped and turned to Mako. "What made you think that?!" he exclaimed.

Mako raised an eyebrow in amusement. "You told me when we got to our room bro," he said matter-of-factly.

Bolin childishly glared at him for a second before turning back to Korra. "Like I was asking, what's this all about?"

"It's something Suyin wanted to talk about me with. Has to do with Opal and her airbending training," she answered.

Bolin slightly grinned at that and puffed his chest a bit. "Then sure why not? You guys could use some Bolin help anyways." The others just stared at him with knowing look. Obviously, he was just going there because of Opal.

"Sure Bolin, whatever you say," Korra laughed. They both walked into the dining hall where Suyin told her to meet up at. The tables and chairs were all back to their original place before Goku had trashed the place with his transformation.

Suyin was sitting in the middle of three seats at the end of the U-shaped table, with Lin glaring at the floor right in front of her. The new airbender next to her looked very uncomfortable with her aunt. The teen Avatar rolled her eyes at that; why was she being so hostile to her own sister? "Ah, you're here Korra," Suyin called. "Please all of you, take a seat," she gestured towards the empty seats at the table.

As expected, Bolin immediately darted to the chair next to Opal. Mako chuckled and turned to Korra. "You go sit next to Suyin. I have to watch over the two lovebirds," pointing to his brother. Korra smiled and nodded. Walking over to Suyin, she sat down on her chair, which was actually really comfortable.

"I trust that you are being well accommodated here?" Suyin asked. Lin snorted to herself but made sure she was heard. Her younger sister turned to give a swift glare but she quickly turned back to Korra.

"Yeah, it's a really nice place you've got here. Looks like you made the perfect life," Korra complimented her.

The matriarch smiled at the praise. "Yes, it's almost everything I could've asked for," taking a quick glance at her sister, "and so much more." She was about to say something else but then took note of the empty seat next to the Avatar, making her frown a bit. "That's strange. Where is Goku? I could've sworn I told the messenger to call him here too," the youngest Beifong wondered.

Korra looked to her side but merely snorted. "Don't worry about it. He's probably ravaging the kitchen right-"

"Is the food here yet?" a certain Saiyan interjected as he entered the dining hall.

"-now," she finished as a blank look crossed her face. 'Of course now he'd show up,' she thought amusedly. She saw the disappointed look on his face as he didn't find what he was looking for.

Suyin chuckled to herself before calling out to him. "No it's not, but if you would sit down it would arrive quicker." And just as she said that he came running towards the seat next to Korra and sat down, eager to get his next fill. The older woman gestured to a servant in front of her to go to the kitchen which he did with haste, knowing this was about this man's bizarre appetite.

"Neat place you got here," Goku said off-handedly as he looked around the whole room they were in. "Never really see places like this a whole lot."

"Thank you, I've been getting that a lot lately," the matriarch said, referring to Korra. She exhaled lightly and look around the dining hall.

Goku with food: Check. Team Avatar: check. Opal and grumpy aunt: check. Now that everyone was here, the meeting could commence. "Alright may I have everyone's attention," all conversations stopped at the call of Suyin's voice. "I have gathered all of you today for an obvious reason. My daughter's airbending training was originally supposed to be here, but my daughter," gesturing to Opal, "has requested to go to the temple with the rest of the airbenders."

It was obvious to the delegates of the meeting where this was going: She wanted external input of the situation because she was hesitant to send her daughter off somewhere away from the confines of her only home. It was a mother worrying about her daughter's well-being. A feeling Goku could relate to in a way.

But before he could continue with his thoughts, a huge surge of energy invaded his senses. An energy that felt like malice and evil incarnate. An energy that was all too familiar to him. His eyes widened with panic. 'Oh...oh no! It can't be him! I thought I finished him off!', he thought to himself. The energy was very faint, but he could tell it was him if it was even further away from the planet.

It was Frieza.
