DragonBall CS: Sora-Atsu Festival Arc. Sub Arc: Preparations/The Days Leading up to the Festival, Wish Thirteen: The Long Flight Back Home.

Hiatus=OVER

Hey guys! This is the second to last chapter before the ending of this sub arc. The next sub arc will be Sora-Atsu Festival Arc. Sub Arc: The First Day Of The Festival. A quick note, GC is just a shortened version of "Gravity Room/Time Chamber." So enjoy! And please review! It's what motivates me!

Before Cooper could speak, Steffon started flying west. So the rest followed suit. Brian sighed, "This is going to be one long flight."

It was 6 p.m. and the guys reached the shoreline about fifteen minutes ago, and flew over Angel Island about ten minutes ago. Brian and Jimmy were slightly ahead and were conversing about the DC Universe. Tori flew between Steffon and Cooper. They were quiet compared to Jimmy and Brian. Tori spoke up, "Hey guys?" All the guys stopped and circled Tori at once. Steffon: "What's wrong?" Cooper: "Are you tired? You need a break?" Jimmy and Brian: "You want to join our conversation?" Tori shook her head, "No. I want to watch you guys' train later on. Is that ok?"

They all shrugged. Cooper spoke, "Sure. We don't care. But why?" "I want to enter the tournament." Cooper froze, "Tori. You do realize that we're entering it, and that you have no possible chance of beating us, right?" "Yeah, but I just want to see how far my training has come along. I probably won't even make to fight one of you guys in a round. Haha." She then started to fly forward and the guys followed suit.

It was now seven, and Brian estimated they were now 200 miles away the U.S.

Cooper then sighed, "We're not making good time at all, and we should've been over Hawaii by now. At this rate we won't make it there till ten." He looked back, "How are you doing Tori?"

"I'm tired."

"That's what I thought, we'll take turns carrying you. We need to be flying over Honolulu by six Hawaii Time." Cooper put her in his arms, "Hold on tight." He went Super Saiyan and the rest of the guys followed suit and gained higher altitude and speed.

It was now seven Hawaiian Time and the group was about 300 miles past the islands. Brain looked at his GPS app on his iPhone, "By the looks of it, if we don't go faster we won't get home till eleven p.m." Tori gasped, "That's awesome, we're going to fly into Sunday, but when we get back to Japan, it'll be Saturday again." Steffon clicked is tongue, "Yep. Hey Tori, why did you come to America anyway?"

"I got bored sitting around the house. And I felt Creon come into existence again." Cooper sighed, "You tell her everything don't you Steffon?" "She is my best friend. Haha." Jimmy growled and grabbed his spiky hair, "Argh! Why is this international dateline and time zone crap so confusing?"

Everyone else had a good laugh at Jimmy's expense. Then Steffon spoke up, "We have a lot to do. We gotta fix the watches."

The other guys replied in unison, "And show us Super Saiyan Two."

"We also have to refuel the jets."

"And show us Super Saiyan Two."

"Oh yeah! And we have to get our outfits ready for the festival, and finish our homework."

"Then you show us Super Saiyan Two!"

"Oh and we have to start training by ourselves, and are we going to use our powers?"

"Baka! We don't care! Just show us Super Saiyan Two!"

Steffon sweat dropped, "Geez, you guys sure are pushy!" Tori looked confused, "What's that?" Cooper then explained it to her. "Ohh…I want to see it too Steffon!"

"I can't show you guys."

Everyone else: "Why?"

"I can't quite grasp the transformation yet, I've only went it twice, and I both times were spontaneous." Cooper flew closer to Steffon, "So how did Creon do it?"

"I don't know, I was wondering that too. Maybe the heightened amount of Saiyan DNA is what helped Creon do it."

"How much Saiyan is Creon?"

"Around 44% I believe."

"Ah. No wonder."

Jimmy, Brian, and Tori sweat dropped and spoke in unison, "They act like Creon is like their fellow triplet or something."

Tori perked up, "I know I forgot to tell you guys something! The festival beginning date has been moved to Tuesday!" All the guys started to cheer. Tori sweat dropped, "You do know that means we have to go to Atsu City and help with preparations on campus all day tomorrow and Monday, right? And if you guys have forgotten sophomore class 2A has the horror house and freshman class 1A has a French café'."

...

Guys: "NOOOOOO!"

DBCS

The group landed in the C.C. Atrium, exhausted. Brian looked at his clock and noticed that it was indeed eleven pm. "Ha. I was right!"

They all fell to the ground anime style and stretched out on the grass. Cooper went back to his base form, and looked at Tori, "That was good training. You flew about halfway."

"Yeah. But I need to practice more. I'm hungry by the way."

All the guys' stomachs started growl and they made a dash to the kitchen. Jimmy looked back at Tori, "You better hurry up before it's all gone!"

About twenty minutes later the guys came out patting their stomachs. Then they all went to their respective rooms.

Sidenote: Brian has his own bedroom, next to Jimmy's.

Tori followed Steffon to his room and plopped down on his bed. "I'm beat! Are you guys going to train tonight?"

"Yeah but I think we should all train in our own separate GR/TC."

"Can I watch you?"

"Yeah, I don't care."

"Hey, I have a question."

"Shoot."

"If you could grasp transforming into Super Saiyan Two, wouldn't you win the tournament, no contest?"

"Yes. But I'm not."

"Why?"

"Cause it's kind of unfair. Also, I don't know how I did it the other two times. And plus, I'm scared…"

"Why are you scared to go Super Saiyan Two?"

"Because I become a completely different person…it's scary."

"Ok. I see. I wonder why the festival Budōkai is going to be open to faculty and Atsu citizens this year. I guess to spice things up a bit."

"What! Guys!"

In about two seconds all the guys fazed into the room, Tori slightly blushed; all of them were shirtless, exposing their ki-enhanced muscles. "What Steff?"

"Tori said that the Budōkai's open to the faculty and Atsu citizens this year, not just for students."

"Hey guys, that means we can beat up our teachers that piss us off all the time!" Jimmy pouted, "That's no fair! The year they lower the age limit from sophomores to freshmen, it also has to be open to everyone else."

Brian turned to Tori, "Wait, doesn't that mean-?"

"Yep. The qualifying matches will be held in the afternoon of the first day, instead of six am the morning of the Budokai, like it was last year." All guys slumped down and spoke in unison, "This totally messes up my schedule!" Cooper sighed, "Steffon, we have so many club activities to do already. How are we going to put time in for enjoying the festival?"

"We could take the early morning shifts. Wait…Tori! How many days is the festival now?"

"It's still three days, as it always has been, for the past eighty years. You need to go on the school website more often."

Steffon replied with a mocking tone, "Well maybe I will." He decapsulized his MacBook and went on the school website. Sure enough like Tori said, the changed status of the Budōkai was on the home page. The first article was titled "Renovations to the Atsu City stadium are now underway to house the Budōkai. Most of the funding will be provided by Capsule Corporation." It showed a picture of how the stadium should look when the renovations were complete. The fighting ring looked pretty much like it did last year, but instead of grass surrounding the ring, a lake did. Two stadium sized plasma TV's were on the north and south end of the stadium. Multiple courtyards, and many small buildings to house the infirmary, media station, contestant quarters, food court, and other Budōkai related things.

The guys were amazed at how the end product would look like. Jimmy whistled, "That will cost us one pretty penny. It's more stuff than last year. Wait! If it's open to everyone, then that means…" Tori made an 'Ah-Ha' face, "Your parents both work as part time professors at the university, so that means they can compete!" Cooper leaned against the wall, "I wonder why Dad didn't tell us." Brian stretched his arms, "That's probably what he wanted to talk about at the restaurant." Steffon capsulized his MacBook, "Ok. Well if we have to fight them, we will. Let's go train. It's 11:30 now, let's be in bed by one, ok? Cause we have to probably be at school at around nine. Oh and by the way, I call dibs on the main GR/TC." The rest of the guys fazed back to their rooms to get finish changing.

Steffon took out a green sleeve less hoodie and shorts and walked into the bathroom to change. He called out from the bathroom, "Hey Tori?"

"Yeah?"

"Do your parents know where you are?"

"They're not even on the planet right now, so why should they be worried about where I'm at?"

"Moon base?" "

Yep."

"Don't you just love being rich?"

"Always."

"Let's go."

The two walked out Steffon's room and down the hallway, he called out, "Don't forget! One a.m.!" The rest of the guys just grumbled in response. Steffon and Tori walked in the GR and Steffon started to stretch. "Hey Steff?"

"Yeah?"

"You want me to go sit the control room?"

"Why?"

"Cause I won't be able to take nothing above 20x Earth gravity. I'll be a burden on you."

"It's fine. I don't want to be sore tomorrow, so we'll just put it 10x."

"Ok, thanks."

"No prob."

Steffon powered up bit and let the white aura surround him. Tori did likewise. "You've improved Tori."

"Thanks, let's spar."

"You sure?" "

Yeah. Just don't go Super."

"Alright."

Steffon fazed forward and threw a punch at Tori's solar plexus. She dodged, back flipped, side flipped, then did a roundhouse kick to Steffon's face. Steffon turned his head to dodge it, but was too slow and Tori's foot made impact with his nose and he went back a few feet. "Like I said, you've improved. Haha. Time to get semi serious." He then fazed out of sight.

Tori searched for his ki and located his re entry spot. She flew to that spot with one fist out ready to deal the blonde a ki-enhanced punch to the face. But he never appeared. "What? I feel your ki right here!"

"Ah. Don't you just hate when I do that? Heh heh..."

Tori turned around ready to retaliate, but she was too late. Steffon used air pressure to hit her in the chin, and she flew up about twenty feet. Steffon then fazed again, elbowed her in the back and she went flying back down. He caught her before her body made contact with the floor.

She pouted and turned around, "I will win one day."

"You keep saying that. Haha."

Tori then blushed, "Umm Stef?"

"Yeah?"

"Umm…your hand…when you caught me, umm…your hand is on my…"

Steffon looked to see where he caught Tori, he had his right hand on her bosom.

Steffon blushed, let her go, and backed up a bit. "Good spar Tori. Haha. Damn fine sparring! Damn fine! Time to do exercises!"

He went Super and started to do light speed pushups, sit ups, and ran laps around the room. Tori giggled at that, 'He's so innocent. He's not like most guys. I guess that's why he's my best friend.'

The room started to rumble, and a power up scream could be heard. Steffon and Tori ran out of the main GC, and ran down a hallway to the main courtyard where Cooper's GC was. A few seconds later they were met by a Super Saiyan Jimmy, he was using the back up GC. "Stef, that's Cooper I believe!"

"What is that baka trying to do?"

Brian came from the hallway that leads to Atrium, still in his Super Saiyan state and ran along side with the group. "Knowing him, he's trying to reach SSJ2"

Steffon scoffed, "How? I don't even know how I reached it! It just happened! But he's doing something right! You feel his ki? It's amazing!" They made it to the courtyard that housed Cooper's portable GC. Brian looked at the panel, "He's at 190x Earth Gravity! Hmm, that's strange but no time change." Steffon nodded, "So that's how we heard him. Did you guys do the time change?" Jimmy and Brian both shook their heads. Jimmy spoke, "Would've tired us out more... Crap! He has the pass code on!" Tori went into deep thought the spoke up, "Try 'Baka'." Brian typed that in and it read 'Denied', "Hmm…let's try 'Saiyan'." The screen yet again read 'Denied'. Jimmy perked up, "Try 'Creon'!"

'Denied'. Steffon reached his arm out and typed his initials, 'STF'. And the screen read, 'Approved', the artificial gravity turned off, and the doors slid open, letting the wind and aura from Cooper's power up come out. Everyone gave Steffon puzzled looks, "He took the capsule to my personal GC by accident."

"Ohh…"

Cooper stopped powering up and kneeled to the floor, "I…I did it!" When the smoke caused by Cooper's power up dissipated, they saw that he looked a bit taller, had very spiky bangs that stood straight up, and his training shirt was ripped, and so was his pants because of his greatly increased muscle size.

He staggered a bit to stand up and noticed that everyone else was there, "Haha. As expected Steffon, I was the first to control the transformation. It wasn't so hard. Maybe you should try harder." He then tried to walk to them, but had a little trouble. Each step made a slight thud on the floor; he looked slower...more sluggish.

Brian rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but Steffon touched his shoulder and shook his head then walked up to his twin. "Cooper, since you're a Super Saiyan Two, try punching me." Cooper laughed, "OK. This is going to be too easy! Don't cry when I hurt you."

Cooper threw a punch, but Steffon simply rolled his head to his left. Cooper tried an upper cut, but Steffon took on step back. Cooper tried once again and went for a right jab, but Steffon sidestepped it. Cooper had a confused look on his face, "Why can't I hit you? I'm throwing these fast as I can!"

"Cooper, you didn't noticed that those punches were about the same speed as your base, if not slower? You haven't notice that your muscles have gotten so big that you can barely move; you didn't notice that form is eating up your ki? You my friend are not a Super Saiyan Two."

Cooper stomped his foot on the ground, creating a good size crater, "Then what the hell am I? Huh? You're the genius! Explain! Tell me!"

"You know that form is an Ultra Super Saiyan. And that it's the worst form to use; you just have been blinded by your conquest to get stronger than me. Let me give you a hint, to break the barrier to SSJ2 you need to be pushed to your limits, and experience great emotional turmoil."

"Well since you know so damn much Steffon, show me! Show me NOW!"

"You know that I can't."

Steffon turned his back to Cooper and started to walk out. 'Don't you turn your back on me baka!'

Cooper reverted back to Ascended and stalked towards Steffon. "Come back!" Said twin kept walking towards the exit. "I said come back!"

Steffon turned, grabbed Cooper, spun him, and threw him to the ground with concrete breaking force. Steffon didn't even look down to see if his twin was ok, he kept walking. "Don't forget to be in bed by one."

Jimmy, Brian, and Tori could've sworn they saw a couple of electric sparks bounce around Steffon's retreating figure as he left the courtyard.
