Three month has past since they've begun their training. Christmas was your typical Dragon Ball style day as the Saiyans pretty much fought over food while everyone enjoyed their gifts and the holiday in general. As of now, they were ready to embark on the journey to Planet Codia. Kuzuku helped add in the coordinates since he new where it was exactly located. Speaking of Kuzuku he actually was able to graduate early with a little help of Bulma. To explain, Kuzuku's grades pretty much excelled to the point where Bulma thought it was pretty pointless for Kuzuku to go to school now since he acquired ten million zeni. So she opted that Kuzuku pretty much doesn't really require school at the moment.

"Alright you guys I just finished preparing the ship. You are all set to go." Bulma said as she got off.

"Thanks a lot Bulma and we promise to not wreck the ship to bad." Kuzuku thanked. Goku and Vegeta merely stood by and watch as they were forced to stay back. Goku could of actually gone with them but Chi Chi commanded that Goku would tend to the fields while their gone. Vegeta on the other hand simply stayed back as extra security in case if the Earth is attacked again. For the people who are making the journey they were all boarding the ship. Gohan, Piccolo, 21, Riley, Zugo, Hudo, and Kuzuku of course. It was a good team they put together though and they were lucky Gohan wasn't gonna be busy again for a while.

"Alright guys we're off. Wish us luck" Gohan said

"Okay and make sure you knock those crooks blocks off!" Bulma stirred

"And be safe you guys, we're counting on you!" Chi Chi said. At that the ship's door closed and was begging to take off into outer-space. In mere moments the ship flew off and was out of sight in mere moments.

After Quite Some Time In Space

"Check out these stars. I can never get over the sight of this, it's absolutely beautiful." Gohan awed

"Yeah, even after spending five years traveling, I still can't get over that fact." Kuzuku said

"I get that you guys are admiring the scenery but lets talk for a moment." Piccolo said. The two turned away from the window and walked towards the group.

"First off, the main objective is to prevent that dark cloak guy from reaching the temple and breaking the seal. I was informed from the Elder Kai that it may take them awhile to find the temples location.". Piccolo then looked at Kuzuku.

"This is where you come in Kuzuku. Since you've lived on the planet for most of your life, you will navigate us through any dangerous obstacles that may be on the planet."

"You got it, I remember when I was a kid I used to to explore the wilderness with some of the kids at the orphanage." Kuzuku chirped

"Good then we will count on you then. Until then we all will be trying to gather information from the residence in the area. I heard that they've been recovering from a attack that occurred years ago. Even their village Elder is still alive so that is a plus.". 21 looked over to Kuzuku with worry as his expression changed for a slight moment. It was that time when everyone was heading to bed. Kuzuku was now in his room, sitting on the side of the bed in deep thought. The room was small, with a desk and one small bed in the corner. A knock on his door snapped the saiyan out of his thoughts. Kuzuku got up to open it and was met with the eyes of 21.

"Oh 21, couldn't get any sleep huh? So what do you need?" Kuzuku nervously chuckled

"Kuzuku you don't have to fake it. I know something's wrong." 21 said, pulling him to the bed so they could sit. Kuzuku looked down so he could avoid eye contact. This already showed something was wrong.

"Kuzuku does this have something to do with returning home?" 21 asked. Kuzuku fidgeted for a moment as he tried to speak. He thought for a moment and answered.

"Yes, it just that...I feel like they are going to blame me for what happened. I was practically the most hated kid on the planet for crying out loud. Even so, that's not the part that concerns me." Kuzuku stated

"Then what is it really?" 21 said placing her hand on his.

"It just brings back bad memories. A constant reminder on what happened that day. When I made that trip to Earth long ago, since I was told that it was a peaceful planet during my travels, I made a promised on Nana's grave to start over again. The fact that I am coming back to this planet once more just feels like I am breaking that promise." Kuzuku explained. Kuzuku could feel his eyes water but held back the tears. He then felt 21's hands pull his face to hers, leading into a kiss. The kiss broke as 21 stared into his obsidian eyes.

"Don't worry about it. The past is the past right?" 21 smiled. Kuzuku eyes widened as he remembered telling her the same thing back then. He smiled and brought her into a hug.

What can be assumed to be tomorrow came in a fly. Everyone had chores to do around the ship while they were on their journey. For instance Kuzuku as of now was performing analysis on the ships parts, making sure each one was working to it's fullest capacity and would point Gohan to make repairs. Hudo was washing the dishes while Zugo was taking care of the clothes. Since 21 was the one who helped repair the ship she was the one flying it, making sure they don't run into obstacles. Piccolo took care of cleaning the floors and washing the windows. Riley was the only one to not do chores since she was reluctant on doing so and would rather train in the built in gravity room. Everything was going find and dandy until the ship suddenly shook vigorously.

"What in the hell?!" Zugo cursed. Everyone made their way to where 21 was since she was controlling the ship.

"What going on?" Kuzuku asked as the ship shook again.

"It seem we've been caught in the gravity filed of a nearby star. The control aren't responding so it must be a big one." 21 grunted. Everyone looked through the window to see the hot blazing orb that has trapped them.

"Someone open the rear hatch, I will take care of this" Kuzuku said, rushing to the rear hatch. The door slowly opened fully and Kuzuku started to prepare his attack.

"Kaaaaaa...meeeee...haaaaa...meeeeee."

"Every grab a hold of something, things are about to get bumpy." Piccolo commanded. Every grabbed a hold of the nearest object they could find.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!". Kuzuku fired his wave in just the right amount of angle and force to not only break out of the barrier but also to fly over the depending ball of gas. The hatch closed when they thought they were safe. Kuzuku made his way back to the gang, ready to be praised for saving them.

"Are you guys okay. It's a good thing I was strong enough to lau-" Kuzuku sentence stopped as he saw the sight of dishes, clothes and everything else that would dirty up the place.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Kuzuku face palmed. From there, everyone had to pitch in on re-cleaning the mess that has been made. Once finished, they practically fell laid down on any comfortable surface they could find.

"Man I traveled to Earth and I didn't have to deal with anything like this." Kuzuku sighed.

"Tell me about it." Hudo agreed.

"I think we should rest for today and tomorrow we could do something fun since we won't have to do chores again." Riley said.

"Not like you did anything..." Zugo muttered. The astack was then smacked in the back of the head.

"Gahhh! What the hell did you do that for." Zugo spatted

"Shut up, blue mutt. You can kiss my ass for all I care." Riley remarked

"What did you say!" Zugo was getting ready to fight.

"Now calm down you two, no need to fight." Kuzuku mollified but was really thinking.

"I am so freaking proud of you right now. Keep going at him sis"

The two turned away in a attempt to shun each other. From then on, the rest of the day was spent watching the indirect battle between the two. I am pretty sure Riley set numerous traps such as wet spots that would make the Astackian slip and fall. Dropping water on his head when he went into his designated room. And even writing on his wall. The one that really set Kuzuku into being an actual big brother mode was when one of her attempts made Zugo slid into the wall, denting it a bit.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You should of seen yourself slideeee!" Riley laughed. She then felt someone stood above her. She looked up as she wiped the tears out her eyes. She saw Kuzuku staring down at her with a face that didn't look too happy.

"Oh whats up bro? You should of seen Zugo slide. It was hilarious." She laughed

"Okay Riley I'm gonna be real with you. As much as I hate puppy boy over there you should really drop the pranks." Kuzuku warned

"Come on bro, it's not that serious. Besides he starte-" Kuzuku cut her off.

"Riley get serious and stop playing around!" Kuzuku yelled. She jumped at her brothers sudden change in attitude.

"You know what your doing is really childish! Your prank left a dent in the wall. Did it ever come across that a potential part that is needed to make this ship function fall off? We are on some serious business you know." Kuzuku scolded.

"I know bu-" She was cut off again.

"Sometimes I can't even believe that you are my actual sister." Kuzuku said. Riley's eyes widened in shock. Kuzuku enraged face morphed into one of regret. Riley began to quiver as anger and sadness started to take over.

"I thought that when I was little that no one could understand me. When I found out that I had a brother out there then maybe just maybe I could find that someone since he is a blood relative." Riley whispered.

"Riley I-" His sentence was stopped.

"But I guess I was being naive. Maybe your right, I am still just a child huh? A naive little kid who was so hopeful for something as wishful as that huh?! Then fine! I won't bother you anymore. When we get home I will take my leave elsewhere!" Riley yelled as she ran off to her room.

"Riley wait!" Kuzuku called out but was ignored.

"Damn it, I just had to let that slip." Kuzuku groaned. Zugo got up and walked off into the same direction while Kuzuku was pondering on how he could say sorry. Time passed and everyone went to bed everyone except for one astackian. He was standing in front of the door of the saiyan girl. He finally mustered the courage and knocked on the door softly. A eerie silence began to take hold. He knocked again but was given a cold reply.

"Go away! I don't want to be bothered right now!". Zugo didn't take that as a answer and knocked again. In seconds the door flew open, revealing the long spiky hair saiyan. She had on a tank top with a pajama's that had snowflakes on them. She looked pretty much pissed off.

"The hell you want?" Riley harsh

"Can you let me in? We need to talk." Zugo gulped.

"Why should I? My so called 'brother' probably put you up to this." Riley denied.

"You know full well that's not true. So are you going to give me a chance or are you going to prove your brother right?" Zugo countered. Riley thought back to their argument earlier.

"Fine but you better make this quick." Riley said allowing him inside. She closed the and glared at the man before her.

"I just want to start things off by saying sorry. I shouldn't have said those things earlier." Zugo apologized

"Is that it? Well then you could lea-"

"But you shouldn't think that you are alone in this world." Zugo stated. Riley was taken back but knew where he was coming from.

"If this is about me and Kuzuku, then you could forget it. I don't even give a damn anymore" Riley spat.

"Its not about that! Well it sorta is but even so its about what you said." Zugo countered.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" Riley raised an eyebrow.

"Come on don't tell me you forgot. You said something about no one being able to understand you but is that really true? Are you sure that is the case?" Zugo said.

"It's exactly the case! I was always like this. Ever since I was little, I've never had friends. I was always alone. All I had was that old man Rigo but he's never came anywhere close to understanding me! And just when I think that I finally found someone who can guess what happened? Not even my own brother understands me! Hell, he even doesn't consider me a sibling!" Riley ranted. She felt tears stream down her face like a river.

"You know...I was the same as you, well sort of." Zugo muttered. Riley looked up at his words.

"Back on my home planet, I only had Hudo and my dad. You could say that its no where comparable to your scenario but its a good example. One day the Etterix was stolen, all because I didn't man my post to guard it. My dad died because of me and what did that get me in the long run? I abandoned my only friend and planet in devastation, just so I can somehow track down the guy. Years later I fought someone who pretty much got on my every last nerve. I guess you could call it hate at first sight." Zugo chuckled

"But despite our detest for each other, he was able to pretty much understand me to the very core. I lost utterly to him that day but he brought me back to where I reunited with Hudo again. Even after the tournament he still considers me a friend even when we insult each other from time to time." Zugo admitted

"That guy was your brother Riley. I don't know what is simply about him but he has a effect on people. He is somehow able to meld the smallest piece in a broken person's heart from time to time. I even heard that one of his masters named Goku has a similar effect but the point is you shouldn't give up on him. He always seems to understand." Zugo gave one of his rare smiles. Riley was lost by his words. All she could do was cry that someone out there was actually the same as her (Well sorta). After all these years that someone had not knew what to say but also give her a glimmer of hope. The door opened suddenly and the two turned around to see Kuzuku standing in front of them. Riley wiped the tears off her face and hugged her brother. Kuzuku was struck by this and looked at Zugo in confusion. Zugo smiled and gave him the thumps up.

"Riley I'm sorry for what I said earlier. It was uncalled for and I guess I was being a terrible big brother." Kuzuku apologized

"Don't be. You were right, I shouldn't have taken things so far. I was being childish." Riley muffled

"Still, what I sad was going too far. I should of thought over what I was going to say. It just slipped." Riley smiled and hugged even tighter. Kuzuku held her close as he felt that his apology was accepted. He looked up at Zugo and narrowed his eyes.

"Okay now that's settled, why the hell was my sister crying while you were in her room?"

"Um well you see..." Zugo sweated. He didn't have a good answer for that at the time. Kuzuku went straight into overprotective brother mode and transformed into a Super Saiyan. Zugo leaped over them and started running while Kuzuku got up and chased after him.

"Get back here!" Kuzuku yelled

"Wait Kuzuku I can explain!" Zugo worried. Riley was still on the ground, smiling at the two boys antics.
