Goku and Sno appeared at Kami's Lookout. They were greeted by a small nemekian and a chubby, black creature. They were greeted happily.

"Oh, Goku!" The little nemekian greeted.

"Hiya, Dende! Just stopping in for a bit," Goku smiled.

Goku explained to Dende what was going on, how Sno was being protected from the androids. Dende nodded in understanding. Sno was told that Dende was the new guardian here, they needed a nemekian here so that the Dragon Balls could exist. Goku tensed up, sensing ki's were dropping too quickly. He needed to help them. He turned to Sno.

"Sno, I have to go help them. You stay here, and I'll be back as soon as I can," Goku said with intensity. He was also a little wary about Vegeta's reaction when he would show up without Sno.

Sno nodded. "Okay."

Goku touched his forehead, disappearing. Sno sighed, she felt completely useless. Dende could sense her worry.

"What has you so worried?" Dende asked.

She glanced at him. "I wish I could help. I feel so useless."

Dende looked behind him, an idea forming. The chubby, black creature, Mr. Popo, just stood there.

"We have a hyperbolic time chamber that could probably help with your training, should you decide to. Time moves differently in there,"Dende suggested.

"How do you mean?" Sno asked, tilting her head to one side.

"An hour out here, equals to a year in the chamber. You could get a year's worth of any training in one hour," Dende explained.

"I would suggest meditation," Mr. Popo spoke suddenly, expressionless.

Sno thought about their suggestions. She couldn't deny that they probably know what they're talking about. She nodded in agreement and Mr. Popo led her to the time chamber.

Sno was sitting on the floor, gazing foward in to the vast, open space. She was warned not to wander too far, for she could be lost forever in the chamber. She stayed close to the small, lone architecture. How was she to meditate? She recalled Piccolo explaining it to her quite some time ago. Close your eyes and relax, he would say.

So, Sno did just that.

It wasn't long before Sno started to feel something writhing within her. She felt power, but it wasn't sheer and raw like her Saiyan friends. It was ancient, warm. It felt as if a summer breeze was caressing her soul. She frowned in confusion, what was that? She prodded at it with her mind, earning a burst of heat. She breathed out a shuddering breath, shivering in innocent pleasure. It felt amazing.

"You have been gifted, my dear."

Sno sat frozen. She knew that voice. She dared to open her eyes, just a peak. A silhouette stood on front of her. She gulped, then completely opened her eyes.

There stood her mother. Sno choked out a sob, still unable to move. Her mother smiled softly, taking a few steps forward.

"Mom?" Sno croaked out.

Her mother smiled again. "Yes, dear. I'm here."

Sno could feel the power within her swirling, writhing. "I don't understand."

Her mother knelt in front of her, concerned flashed in her eyes. "Control it, Sno. If you let your emotions take over, your power could overwhelm you."

Sno swallowed, listening to her mother immediately. Her power calmed, small waves rolled within her. Her mother smiled.

"How are you here?" Sno breathed.

"I was given some time to help you," her mother stated. "Sno, you were given a gift by the old gods. They heard your plea, it's not much, but now you won't be completely helpless."

Sno nodded in understanding. She felt grateful for the old gods. She smiled at her mother, but she saw hesitation in her mother's eyes. She thought nothing of it.

Two figures that towered buildings in comparison loomed over their basin. They watched Sno and her mother. The larger of the two felt Sno's gratitude, smiling slightly.

"She appreciates our help," he said.

The smaller one nodded. "She's going to die."

"I know."

The small one looked up to it's master. "Why waste your power, then?"

The large one huffed. "Its not a waste. She'll make a good candidate, yes? Pure heart, completely and utterly fair. She cares for nature."

"What of the prince? If his mate dies..."

"He must experience this loss," the master said plainly.

"All hell will break loose," the small one stated.

"So be it. She won't be gone for long," the master smiled.

The small one stared down at the basin warily, he watched Sno pick up on the training almost immediately. He smiled to himself. Perhaps she would make a worthy goddess.

"She shall reign him in in no time," the master said confidently.

Vegeta and Goku raced back to Kami's Lookout, an uncomfortable silence between them. Vegeta had nearly ripped Goku to shreds for leaving Sno alone. Now that android 19 and 20 were taken care of, the rest of the fighters were also on their way to Kami's Lookout. The Lookout came into Vegeta's view, he picked up his speed, landing roughly onto the ground. He didn't see Sno anywhere.

"Well?" Vegeta demanded, turning to glare at Goku as he landed next to him.

"Goku, Vegeta. Sno is in the time chamber," Dende greeted.

Vegeta frowned. Why was she in the time chamber?

"She should be walking out in a few moments. It's been an hour," Mr. Popo informed.

As if on cue, Sno walked into view, and she looked quite different. Her hair had gotten longer, much longer. It was in a thick braid, hanging down her right shoulder to her hip. Her violet eyes seemed to glow now, wide with happiness. Vegeta ran up to her, stopping short when he felt the power within her.

"What happened to you?" he asked.

Sno just smiled, glancing behind her. Vegeta looked around her, eyes widening at the sight before him. He saw someone who resembled Sno perfectly, only middle aged. Although, her hair was brown and her eyes were green, it was a spitting image of Sno. Vegeta immediately knew who this was. Sno's mother nodded to him, smiling.

"I heard you that night, Vegeta. Thank you," Sno's mother said softly.

Vegeta nodded, watching her fade away. Sno sighed, already missing the presence of her mother. Vegeta placed his hand on her cheek, finally feeling relieved that he could touch her again. He pulled away and joined the rest of the group that just touched down. Gohan ran up with Blizz.

"Guys! We found an identical time machine that Blizz came in, whatever was in it is roaming around," Gohan informed.

"You mean it's the same one?" Goku asked.

"Yes, the same one that came here in. That means that they would have come here before I did," Blizz said, concerned.

Sno was able to get a good look at Blizz now. His face was familiar, his stance was familiar. Everything about him was familiar and she just couldn't place it. As she stared at him, she noticed that him and Vegeta were standing the exact same way, rolling their eyes at the exact same time and scoffing in the exact same manner. Sno's eyes widened slightly, noticing that his face was oddly similar to her own. This was her son, she felt it. Part of her was angry that he had kept this information from them, but she also understood the consequences. Her emotions were high and she could feel her power coiling and spinning, making the other stop to look at her. Keep it together, she told herself, corner him later.

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes.

"Sno," Vegeta breathed, standing right next to her. She opened her eyes to find everyone looking at her. Blizz looked a little startled when her glare fixated on him.

"We have some things to discuss later," Sno directed to Blizz. He gulped.
