Hey everyone! Well, I finally came up with a chapter that I liked enough for this, so here ya go!

Myshel threw a left punch at Rejhan's face, followed by a quick roundhouse kick, Rejhan blocking or avoiding both. Myshel continued her offensive, performing various manouvers with as much intensity as she could pull out of her body, Rejhan matching pace with her defence. It hadn't even been three days since both girls first entered the gravity room, and they had already worked up to training in 200 times the Earth's normal gravity. They were pulling around eight hours a day, much to ChiChi's dismay, but both of them were having the time of their lives. They didn't have to worry about keeping their ki down because their secret was already out, so there was nothing to hold them back.
Myshel flipped up and backwards, tucking into a ball before snapping open, her hands crossed abover her head. Rejhan stared up at her from her position on the ground, her face set in determination as her best friend took on a stance that reminded her very much of her twin's Masenko technique. Myshel let out a battle cry, a bluish-white ball of energy forming in her hands.
"Hi-ka-ri-ma HA!" she cried, bringing her hands crashing down in front of her. A good sized beam shot forward, screaming through the air towards the young half saiyajin on the ground. Rejhan gritted her teeth and threw out her hands, forming her own blast as she watched Myshel's close in on her. Yelling out her own battle cry, she released it, and the ball of glowing energy crashed into the oncoming one. Both girls kept strength behind their own attacks, struggling to gain the upper hand over each other.
With a blinding flash of light, the beams imploaded, and Myshel and Rejhan charged straight at the other. Locking hands and bracing their legs, they began a furious battle of strength. Their bodies began to shake with the combined forces of exerted power, the power from the other warrior, and the pressure of the gravity that was, little by little, starting to take its toll on the girls. But, both refused outright to give up.
Finally, with another battle cry, Myshel jerked her hands upwards, flipping Rejhan above her. With a quick burst of ki, she lept into a backflip, catching her half-saiyajin friend in the stomach, sending her crashing into the hard metal wall of the gravity room. Myshel landed heavily, but didn't waste any time in charging after her, knowing full well that such an attack would do nothing but stun Rejhan. Sure enough, Rejhan, after tumbling to the floor hard, jumped to her feet to confront her. Just as Myshel was getting there, she twisted upwards. Myshel recoiled and sent a spin kick backwards at her, but, Rejhan was already gone. A twinkle of light caught Myshel's ice blue eyes, and she turned to find that Rejhan was already behind her, but it was too late to do anything else. Flaring her ki, Rejhan directed a blast into Myshel, who spiraled out of control and collided with the control tower in the center of the room. Seconds later, a computerized voice came over the speakers, echoing oddly off the metal walls.
"Gravity session, terminated."
Feeling the pressure on her feet instantly disappear, Rejhan shakily made her way over to Myshel, who was hauling herself to her feet. Myshel shot Rejhan a smile, which Rejhan returned.
"I think we broke something..." Rejhan said, looking over the panels that Myshel had crashed into. Wires were sticking out in various places, buttons were missing, and the metal panels themselves were warped and bent. Myshel glanced back at them and laughed, nodding her head.
"You can say that again...damnit Rej, you're way too fast for me."
Rejhan laughed as they both started out of the gravity room and for the bathrooms, where they could take a shower before Rejhan went to work with Bulma and Myshel started dinner. With Bulma working on the sensory device for Rejhan, she couldn't get any cooking done, and, even though ChiChi had decided to stay at Capsule Corp, Myshel had gladly taken the mealtime responsibilities. I guess you could say that she still felt partially guilty that Rejhan and gotten in trouble that night, along with getting that scare from her mother. Rejhan shook her head as they turned a corner, making their way down one of the long hallways of the housing complex.
"Yeah, but you're getting better, and you still have the upper hand when it comes to strength," she said, thinking. Myshel snorted, then laughed.
"Even then, what's strength gonna help if you can't catch your enemy?"
"True..."
After washing up, Myshel headed off towards the kitchens to whip up some other creation for the four women in the house to eat that night, and Rejhan took off towards Bulma's lab. She strolled into the gigantic room and right up to the blue-haired woman, who was sitting at a computer doing calculations.
"I'm all yours, Bulma," Rejhan said, plopping down on a nearby chair. Bulma turned to her and smiled, a sparkle in her eye that made Rejhan wonder.
"Good, I have something I want you to try out. Follow me."
Bulma rose from her chair and strode away, Rejhan shuffling after her. She entered a side room and hit the lights, and Rejhan stared at the object in the middle of the table, supremely interested.
"Isn't that...a saiyajin scouter? Dad told me about those..." Rejhan said, trailing off as she saw the odd little headset-like device. Bulma beamed.
"Indeed it is. I got a hold of one on Namek all those years ago and managed to make it display in our language rather than saiyajin. I came across this looking for one of my toolboxes, and I wondered if I could use its built in ki device to my advantage. Of course, I've made some modifications, not to mention giving it uplinks to all of the most powerful satellites in the galaxy, but I've also given it the ability to learn new uplinks. Go ahead, see for yourself," Bulma said, motioning for Rejhan to take the scouter. Rejhan reached out and lifted it into her hands, holding it up so she could get a better look at it. Bulma crossed her arms, a smug and satisfied expression crossing her face.
"But, Bulma, what happened to the amplifier? Did we give up on it, already?" Rejhan asked, turning the scouter over and over in her hands, admiring its simplicity of design. Bulma snorted.
"I hit a brick wall on that one, Rej, I just couldn't get it to expand its field beyond the asteroid belt."
"Wait a second, you said this runs on satellites, right? There aren't satellites all over the universe, are there...what happens if Dad and them are out of the satellites' reach?"
Bulma smirked evilly at this question. "Very good, Rejhan, but I'm way ahead of you. I thought that exact same thing as I was making my modifications. However, I did remember one thing. The capsule that I have for you and Myshel to travel in has a very powerful sensory device in its controls. Simply hooking the scouter up to the capsule gives you millions of lightyears at your disposal. That, and, on that trip to Namek, I dropped a couple solar powered satellites into orbit around a few different planets. Those...oh I think there were eight of them, give you a hundred thousand lightyears each. The scouter already has them uplinked."
Rejhan stared at Bulma in wonder and amazement. Now, this woman was a true genius. Not that she ever doubted it, it was just...it was so hard to believe that one mind held the power to make such modifications and connections to such a simple device as a scouter, and a piece of machinery from a different planet, no less! Rejhan attached the scouter to her head and switched it on, numbers flying across the little screen for a few moments before setting at stand-by. This brought up another question.
"Bulma, when I use my sight to sense someone, I have to close my eyes to get an accurate picture..."
"...and the scouter has enough neuro-technology now to pick up on that and enhance it. Explaining it fully would just confuse you, just trust me. You should have no problems using it, if I've worked out all the bugs, that is."
Rejhan gave Bulma a curious look before closing her eyes, focusing hard on Myshel's ki signature. In nanoseconds, she saw the light blue shape of her best friend cooking up a storm in the kitchen, when she was interrupted by a beep in her ear. She opened her eyes, and was taken aback by what she saw on the screen in front of her left eye.
The scouter screen displayed none other than Myshel's name and approximate power level, but that wasn't all. Lower down on the screen, it had two sets of coordinates. Rejhan furrowed her eyebrows in wonder. Bulma saw the look on her face and pushed her gently over to a computer in the corner, having her sit down. Punching a few keys, she brought the main Capsule Corp. satellite online.
"Put in the coordinates, both sets," she instructed the young demi-saiyajin, who complied without complaint. Rejhan hit enter, and nearly fell out of her chair. Almost instantly, a window popped up on the computer screen. It had the first set of coordinates, followed by a number of statistics before a large, bolded word. The bolded word said 'Earth.' The second pair of coordinates was followed by some more stats, and two more bolded words. These said, quite amazingly, "Capsule Corporation.' Rejhan looked up at Bulma in complete awe.
"The scouter did all that?"
"You told it to. You focused on the ki signature of Myshel, and it went and found it for you. Now, of course, the second pair of coordinates were given because the satellite knows the addresses of every building on this planet. Unfortunately, the satellites don't know that about every planet, so youmight notget a second set in space. But, the first set is the coordinates for the planet itself, I figure that's all that you'll need. Now, am I good or what?"
Rejhan's look of awe slowly faded, a wide smile replacing it. "This is GREAT Bulma! As long as this thing works in deep space, we should have no trouble finding the guys! Thank you so much!" Rejhan cried, throwing her arms around the older woman in a tight embrace. Bulma hugged the young girl back enthusiastically. "I have to go tell Myshel, we can leave in the morning!"
Bulma watched as Rejhan jumped up from her chair and started to bolt from the room, when Bulma called after her. "Rejhan!" Rejhan turned abruptly, staring back at the blue-haired sorceress of science and technology with a sweet smile on her face. Bulma tried her best to smile back. "Just, bring back our family, that's all I ask."
Rejhan nodded firmly. "Of course."

After a good meal and a night of hard training, both girls packed a few of their things into Bulma's best capsule and prepared for take off. ChiChi clung to Rejhan as long as she could, still unwilling to let her only daughter stray from her watchful eye, but, with the help of Bulma, she finally bid herand Myshel off and ran inside, unable to watch. Bulma watched her flee, then turned back to the two girls. Rejhan had on her favorite black and royal blue gi, and Myshel had donned a completely black gi, both girls' hair tied back securely. They both had definitely gotten stronger from their gravity room bouts, as it was easily visible to even the untrained eye. Rejhan had already fastened the scouter to her ear and face, and both her and Myshel stood tall, determined to see their mission through.
"You know, I still can't say that I agree with you two going alone, but I know that Chi and I would just get in the way..." Bulma said sadly, and all three of them smiled. "You both be careful, ok? That communicator isn't broken, you know, I want reports every now and again."
"We'll keep you posted, Bulma, we promise," Myshel said, putting a hand on Bulma's shoulder. Bulma smiled again and hugged the two of them, before both Rejhan and Myshel retreated into the capsule. With a wave, Bulma watched as the metal door sealed shut behind them, and she stepped back as the engines fired up. Seconds later, the white, yellow, and black capsule rocketed into the air and out of sight, carrying it's two passengers into the black unknown of outer space.

"Alright Rej, we've officially left Earth's atmosphere, you wanna give the scouter a try?" Myshel said, leaning back in her chair as the gravitational control button flashed on, keeping Rejhan and herself seated in their seats. Rejhan nodded and switched her scouter on, then pulled a connection wire from the control panel of the capsule and connecting it to its port on it's underside. "Try your dad or Vegeta..., if anyone, they're probably the ones putting out the most energy," Myshel suggested, and Rejhan nodded her agreement.
Rejhan closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could on her father's energy level, searching as far as she could. She prayed that the scouter would pick something up, because so far, she was drawing a blank. Over and over she searched, reaching out with her senses, farther than she had ever reached before, but still, no detection by the scouter. Rejhan opened her eyes and shook her head at Myshel, who furrowed her brow.
"Let's try widening the range, and I'm gonna bring those eight satellites online," she said, punching a few commands into the main keyboard of the capsule. After around a minute, she turned and nodded for Rejhan to try again. Taking a deep breath, Rejhan shut her eyes again, and started searching. This time, after around thirty seconds, the scouter beeped in her ear. Snapping her eyes open, her face brightened with excitement. 'I hadn't even formed a picture yet!' she thought, and she frantically began to read the output the scouter was giving her.
"Son Goku," she read happily, fighting to keep from jumping up and down with joy. "Power level...formerly known as...coordinates!" she practically yelled, skimming through the input to find what she needed. "Put this in the computer!" Rejhan told Myshel, who rotated in her chair and hit a blue button. A screen dropped down in front of the windshield of the capsule, and a new keyboard flipped open. Myshel brought the galaxy database online, and waited for Rejhan's command.
"PJX 465 K90R...did you get that?" Rejhan said, leaning over to watch as Myshel expertly typed the letters and numbers into the computer and pressing enter. Two long minutes later, and a window popped up on the screen. This time, it was Myshel reading the output.
"Planet Awlgrene, in the west Gamma sector of the Pheonixia galaxy," she said, trying to contain her own excitement. Immediately, she leaned over and punched the same coordinates into the capsule's navigational computer, and the engines roared to life again. In seconds, the pod was shooting off deeper into space. Myshel shut down the computer and leaned back in her chair again, looking over at Rejhan, who still had a bewildered look on her face and the scouter glued to her ear. Myshel laughed lightly.
"You can take that off now, we'll check it every now and then to make sure your dad's ki isn't moving. What do you say, up for a bit of a spar?" Myshel said, snapping Rejhan out of her daze. Rejhan smiled and disconnected the scouter, placing it carefully on her chair as she stood up, nodding cheerfully.
"Sure, why not?"
It may not be much, but it's something, right? And at least we're off Earth and into the story now. The scouter idea just came to me as I was writing, I hope you all understand it. If you don't, go ahead and get my email from http/ and ask, I'll explain it to ya! Well, Rejhan's up next, so tootles for now!
