Chapter 8 - Earth Life

So, this must be the planet Earth that Cold mentioned. Mizuna looked around the rocky area,taking in the landscape. Not the prettiest place, I suppose. Then she looked back up to the battle between Freeza and the unknown Saiyan. He had just slashed Freeza in half with utter ease. She wondered if this was the one called Goku, it could only be him.

She slid down to the ground against the rock and watched the events unfolding before her. She was too worn out to do anything about it now, but part of her was incredibly annoyed that someone stole her kill. Well, as long as the bastard was dead, it hardly mattered who killed him.

Her eyelids were growing heavier by the second as she laid back and stared up at the sky. A nap wouldn't hurt, she probably wouldn't miss much, she was safe from harm here at least. "Earth, not so bad." She muttered as sleep took her.

A few hours later, the ground violently shaking is what awoke her, from pure instinct she leapt to her feet and looked around. Nothing here. She took to the sky and seeing the large indent in the ground with a group of spectators gathered around it some ways off. She kept her energy low moved quickly across the ground towards the group of strangely powerful group of earthlings. She watched from afar as another person levitated from the crater, emerging from a Ginyu Force Attack Ball, strangely enough.

Who appeared to be a Saiyan. Another one without a tail though, which she found odd. She watched as they all spoke in excited voices, only briefly catching some of the words. Now that she looked more closely, she barely realized it was him, he was older and wearing a strange pink shirt, but was that Prince Vegeta with them as well? Incredible to see him still alive. I'd love to speak with him after this.

Once the newly arrived Saiyan and the teen-aged one went off on their own, she decided to make herself known. She waited until they appeared to be done talking, she was impressed watching them both transform and have a brief spar. Goku was powerful, a decent bit stronger then herself at full power. She took to the sky and landed a few feet away from them. Bewilderment apparent on their faces. She could hear outcries from the others. It had been a long time since she had met another Saiyan, decades in fact. It was a comforting feeling to say the least. She lifted her hands in greeting. "One of you is Goku, yes?"

The black haired, older man nodded and pointed at himself. A friendly smile on his face. "That's me! I must be pretty popular today, huh?"

Mizuna looked briefly confused, she wondered who the younger man was then, stumbling upon two Super Saiyans? Impossible. "Something like that, you're both Super Saiyans, then?" The younger blue haired man, who at first seemed surprised, was much more guarded then the other. "What's it to you? You're sorta interrupting us here."

Mizuna shrugged. "Well, I heard there was one on Earth, finding another one is shocking. But.." Mizuna focused her energy and grunted as golden light exploded out around here. "Make that three."

Goku and the unknown Saiyan both looked even more shocked if that was possible. Goku was the first to speak. "Awesome!" He looked back and fort between Mizuna and Trunks. "Metting two Super Saiyans in one day, I'd love to spar with you too!" Trunks interrupted him. "Well, actually. Goku, as fascinating as this is. I should get going. I only came here to give you what I did. I'll be back though, like I promised." Goku enthusiastically grasped the young mans hand and shook it. "I hope so! Take care Trunks, stay alive." Trunks smiled hopefully and nodded, giving a brief look at Mizuna and flew off. Goku returned his look at Mizuna as she powered down, he was walking back towards his friends but walked slow so they could talk. "So, what's your name?

Vegeta was fuming at this point, a third random Saiyan appearing in one day, and she could transform too? It was bad enough he had fallen behind Goku yet again, but two more people as well? This level of insult to his Saiyan pride could not stand! He would ascend and surpass them all! It was his natural birthright!

Goku and Mizuna arrived back at the group of fighters, plus Yamcha. The majority of the questions was redirected by Goku, answering more about what Trunks was speaking to him about. Something about killer Androids. Mizuna introduced herself to everyone briefly and moved off to speak to Vegeta, giving him a shallow bow. "Hello, Prince Vegeta." Vegeta only sneered at her in response. "Do you come here with that brat?" Mizuna shook her head. "No, just coincidence." Vegeta took an intimidating step towards her, despite being 6 inches shorter. "What are you still doing here then, low class?" He whispered, a dangerous edge to his voice. He had always been rather menacing as a kid, but they were adults now, and Planet Vegeta was long in the past. "I was actually just under you on the tier list, but you and your royal ass of a father never paid much attention to anyone but yourself, right?" Her lip curling in anger as she glared down at him. "How dare you, you trash! You're no Saiyan, what Saiyan has blue eyes anyway?! You're simply a flawed reject." Mizuna tightened her fists, she could feel her blood start to boil in anger, vaguely aware of everyone else staring at them. Vegeta had hit a sore spot, she had always felt different from other Saiyans and had been picked on as a child because of it. Like hell she'd let some pompous prince insult her like this.

The scarred human quickly moved between them, sticking his hands up. Yamcha was it? "Woah woah guys. Let's take it easy. She just got here." Vegeta only growled and took off to the skies, ready to start his training and stop interacting with everyone already. Yamcha's looked returned to Mizuna a moment later, his eye brow arched, a stupid grin on his face. "Mizuna, right? What brings you to our little planet?" Mizuna only rolled her eyes. She knew she was attractive, and it always got her the type of attention she hated from men, but her following response always made her chuckle. "Sorry, I play for the other team." Yamcha seemed to deflate but not before the blue haired woman.. Bulma. Scowled at the two of Yamcha. "Oh, that's all it takes? One beautiful woman shows up and you forget I'm here?!"

Mizuna quickly excused herself from that brewing storm and back to the talking others. They were mostly leaving now but that presented her with a totally different issue. She had no where to live here.

Goku, his son Gohan and the Namekian Piccolo were discussing training when she came back over. "So, there's an Android threat? I'd be willing to fight alongside you guys." Piccolo nodded but seemed to scrutinize her closely. "How do we know we can trust you?" Mizuna thought of a good answer for a few moments before answering him. "I know you guys just had a run in with Freeza." He tilted her head to the sky where he had been obliterated not a few hours ago. "Not long ago, I killed his brother and fought their father."

Goku nodded in wonderment. "Trunks had said in his timeline that King Cold had shown up for this battle and died, but you took him on yourself and kept him from coming. Did you win?" Mizuna sighed in disappointment, rubbing thr back of her neck. "No, he transformed and there was no winning that fight at the time."

Piccolo appeared to grimace. "They tend to do that." Goku only smiled, punching his fist into his other open palm. "Then we'll just have to train you up so you can go and beat him properly. I'll even go with you if you want, but we'll have to deal with the threat here first."

Mizuna smiled cheerfully. She hadn't been expecting that, but it lifted her spirits all the same. "It's a deal." Mizuna noticed Gohan peering at her. Then she had a thought. "We could always use another Super Saiyan, we'll have to push you hard the next three years." Gohan appeared flabbergasted. "I'd love to, but my mom is incredibly strict with my studies. Goku shrugged. "It's true. Chi-Chi puts his studies first, and fate of the world stuff second." Mizuna smiled inwardly. "Well, nothing we can work around."

The next three year passed by in a blur. It wasn't entirely spent training, but only mostly. Mizuna had spent most of her own training with Piccolo, Gohan and Goku but she spared time to visit the other human fighters and spat with them as well. She encouraged everyone to train more together and teach other skills. For some reason none of them had thought of it prior and the humans all master the Kaio-Ken Technique from Goku, skyrocketing their power to heights they'd never have achieved normally. They'd stand a far better chance with that in their arsenal. She had learned it as well, but it seemed like a useless ability when she had Super Saiyan, and she figured combining the power ups would be almost suicidal. She had learned some other interesting moves from the others to make up for it though.

Aside from traninig, she had fast fallen for life on Earth, she had spent a lot of time when she first got here flying around and taking in the landscape. Trying their incredible variety of cuisine and tried to make herself feel at home here. She didn't have an actual place to live for most of the past three years, she mostly just foraged and hunted for food. Nothing she wasn't used to, of course. She had taken up the offer of Roshi to stay at his small island home, but that fell through after 2 days when he continuously attempted to grope her and she kicked him through the wall and out to sea. Nowadays she hung out with Goku and his family for the most part and she felt like she belonged.

Since she had become more comfortable here, her style of clothes had changed as well. It was far more casual then she had ever worn. Just a black tank top with baggy pants with a sort of half short skirt over part of it, knotted at the side, she wasn't sure what to call it, but she loved the look. She also cut her long brown hair to slightly past her shoulders, she had never really liked the long hair look and it was annoying to have when she transformed.

She dodged a blow from Gohan, the current youngest of the Super Saiyans had made amazing progress. She learned he had incredible potential but it was tied strongly into his rage. It'd probably get easier to unlock as he aged. She grabbed his arm and launched him directly at Goku who had attempted to stealthily strike her from behind, but instead caught his catapulted son in his arms. They had been going at it for hours now. The day of the androids arrival was fast approaching and none of them wanted to Trunks' horrible future to come to realization.

Goku was chuckling as he released Gohan and the three of them powered down, and landed on the ground, exhausted. He wiped sweat off of his face. "You've come a long way Gohan, you're even stronger then I was on Namek. Gohan beamed with pride. "Thanks Dad, I just don't want to feel that helpless again like when Mr. Piccolo went down and Krillin was killed." Gohan said, pride welling up inside him. "Next time, I'm gonna fight right alongside you!" Mizuna whooped in agreement. "Good words, Gohan! We'll teach metal bastards not to fuck with Earth."

Chi-Chi called out to them from the kitchen window. "Dinner is ready! Hurry up before it gets cold!" The three Saiyans quickly rushed into the house and took their seats at the table. Mizuna had noticed how relaxed Chi-Chi was becoming recently. She was definitely overbearing as Goku and Gohan had first described her when they had first met, but she seemed to mellow out a bit more, maybe she enjoyed having another woman around. Who knew. It let Gohan take his training more seriously at least, which had certainly paid off. She was a very caring woman and not everyone could be as supportive with the kind of lifestyle that they all shared, but they seemed to make it work.

Vegeta had left the planet a few weeks ago, Mizuna had attempted to speak to him again a few months ago, but that went about as well as expected He simply couldn't stand to be around her, his sore pride wouldn't let him. It was frustrating, but she had seen it before. She wouldn't push it for now.

Suddenly, there a crash as Gokus plate hit the floor, he was clutching his chest and breathing heavily, and slipped off his chair. He was already unconscious. "Goku!" Both Chi-Chi and Gohan shouted and ran to his side. Mizuna knelt down alongside them. "I think this is that heart virus that Trunks mentioned. It's happening at a different time then what he told us though." Mizuna picked up Goku over her shoulder. "Let's get him upstairs. Could you grab his medicine, Gohan?" Gohan nodded and ran off to find the medicine cabinet. Chi-Chi followed behind her as they took him to their room and laid him down on his bed. Gohan returned a few minutes later and gave him a dose of his heart medicine. "What are we going to do now?" Gohan said, clearly distressed. "We need him, we're only two days away from the Androids showing up!" Mizuna already had an answer. "We're going to fight them and win. We've trained all we could. Just have to hope it's enough." She felt utterly confident in that. Everyone was ready.

Everyone is stronger then in canon, Goku having a Super Saiyan to train with greatly increased his original gains, same with Gohan gaining SSJ earlier. People always tend to worry about power levels, but as I believe I've stated before, I'm not doing the multiplier fan system, it doesn't work and it makes everything wonky. I'm using the Bringer of Death power level system, it's works better and doesn't give insane boosts. Goku at this point at 50x would be in the billions which is way too high. The basic SSJ transformation gives every user 145 Million Units of power. A Saiyan that has only acheived SSJ has a base limit of 70 Million before they start getting smaller overall gains. There are other paths for a Saiyan when they hit this wall, but we'll get there in time.

As is tradition with fan fiction, the humans have Kaio-Ken so they're able to actually keep up and not be cheerleaders as per canon. I did add my artwork of Mizuna to the story, just to get an idea of how she looks now.

Mizuna (Base): 65 Million

Goku (Base): 65 Million

Gohan (Base): 35 Million

Vegeta: ?

Tien: ?

Krillin: ?

Yamcha: ?
