Chapter 5 - Kassava (18 years old)

I can finally see Planet Earth through the window.

"We are almost home, Mother," I say.

"We are?" my mother replies.

She joins me in looking at the Planet we are about to land on, my home. We had put in the exact location where we need to land. We need to land back to my house.

In one year, we have talked about a lot of things, like my mom has caught up about my life and then, I have caught up about what my mom has heard while she was in prison.

She has caught up about my past school years, my friends, my adoptive parents, what I like to do, what I don't like to do, etc.

I have caught up, hearing that she has heard a lot of things such as a lot of Saiyans want to go to Planet Earth to kill the innocent people and sell the planet. They also want to go to other planets too such as Planet Kanassa and Planet Meat, but for some reason, a lot of the Saiyans want to go to Planet Earth. The way they pronounced Planet Earth is so funny, I laugh every time.

We have also practiced our fighting skills and she told me that she needs to teach me how to use Saiyan powers in an open space, so we aren't able to do it inside the space travelling machine. However, we need to find open space somewhere outdoors since we can possible damage the equipment in here. We have also practiced on moving and fighting with different kinds of gravity since there is a gravity machine here. The max we got to was 200 times Earth's gravity, also known as 200 G.

We get closer to the atmosphere inside Earth. We are both really excited and then, we eventually reach my house, exactly on the spot where I blasted off a year ago.

When the door opens, I see Lauren and Gabriel stand in front of us with really big smiles on my face. Lauren is jumping up and down and hugging Gabriel while Gabriel is hugging Lauren.

"Welcome back, Bianca!" my adoptive dad and adoptive mom greets. My biological mom already knows that this is my Earth name, so she is used to it. Lauren and Gabriel both hug me and then I hug them back.

"Hello, Lauren and Gabriel! Thank you, guys!" I greet.

"Welcome, Been! Bianca has told us a lot about you," Lauren greets.

"Thank you," my mom replies, smiling.

"Welcome, welcome! You are welcome here and if you have any questions, don't ever hesitate to ask us," Gabriel greets my mom.

"Thank you all, you guys are very very kind," my mom replies.

"No problem at all," Gabriel replies.

"You're welcome," Lauren says.

We all walk inside the house, following Lauren.

"We can give you a tour of our house if you'd like," I offer my mom.

"That would be amazing, thank you," my mom replies.

We show her all around the house as well as outside the house and the laboratory. After that is done, I show my mom where she will be staying, which is in our guest room right next to my room.

"So this is Planet Earth? It really has a different feel to it, but in a very good way," my mom says to me.

"Oh yeah, definitely," I reply, smiling. My mom smiles back.

"Do you wanna go buy some new clothes for you right now or do you want us to go later?" I ask, "Or do you wanna borrow some of my clothes, it really doesn't matter to me."

"It doesn't matter to me either. I need to shower and then I will rest after that," my mom replies.

"Okay, do you want me to give you some clothes to change into?" I ask.

"Yes, that would be good. Thank you," my mom replies.

"You're welcome," I say.

While my mom is sleeping in the guest room, I am sitting in my room and in my desk. Five college applications are on my desk and I am working on the last one right now.

After I finish my last application, I neatly stack all of the applications on my desk. I then go to sleep on my bed, making a mental note to pay the application fees one of these days. I actually now can't fall asleep, but a flashback comes to mind.

On Planet Vegeta, I see two kids, one a boy and one a girl, bullying another kid, who has very long hair. Then, I can't tell if it is a boy or a girl since the bullied kid was facing his or her back towards me.

"You are too weak to even be called a Saiyan," the male bully taunts to the bullied kid.

"How about we show him a piece of our mind?" the female bully asks the male bully.

"Yeah, we should," the male bully replies to the female bullies.

I now know that the one being bullied is a young boy.

"If you guys make one step, I will beat both of you up!" I, the usually shy six year-old, yell, defending the bullied, long-haired kid.

Both of the bullies including the bullied child then look at me.

The male bully laughs.

"Who are you?" The female bully asks me.

"Kassava," I reply.

"Wait? You're Kassava, one of the other weak Saiyans on this planet? You think you can beat us?" The male bully says.

"Yeah, I think I can beat you both," I say before getting in front of the kid being bullied.

The bullies start laughing again.

"Spina, should we show our friend, Kassava, not to mess with us?" The male bully says to the female bully named Spina.

"Yes, Parsli, we should," Spina replies.

I think to myself, "Those bullies are not my friends."

"What are you doing? I can defend myself," the bullied kid whispers to me.

"Don't worry, I'll show them a thing or two," I whisper back, "I'll show these kids not to mess with us."

I, myself, get taunted with words like "weak" and "stupid" by my father and a lot of the other Saiyans too. I get bullied by these people regularly and as a result, I practice my combating skills even though it probably didn't do much, but at least I felt stronger on the inside.

As Spina and Parsli take one step, I punch Spina hard in the face. I warned them, didn't I? Spina falls to the ground and then Parsli tries to grab me. After that, I was able to dodge it and then I punch Parsli from the side of the face. Parsli is walking backwards and he was about to fall to the ground, but then before he was able to catch himself, I kick him and then he falls to the ground.

Spina then gets up and then she charges towards me. I then do a roundhouse kick and then she falls to the ground.

They are still conscious even though they can't get up at the moment. Hopefully, they won't beat us up.

I look at the bullied kid and I think to myself that he might tell me with an angry face that he told me that he didn't need any help.

"Hey, thanks," the bullied kid replies. I then feel relieved since I was scared that he would be angry with me.

"No problem," I say.

"I'm Raditz, by the way," Raditz says, "You're Kassava, right?"

"Yes. Hey, did those bullies hurt you?" I ask.

"No, not this time, but they and some other kids make fun of me and beat me up very much."

"Me too," I say.

"Really?"

"Yep, very much."

"Wow," Raditz replies, "Well, I got your back too."

I say, "Thank you."

"Yeah, that's what friends do," he says. I made a new friend named Raditz.

-The flashback ends-

I don't regret that time at all. By now however, I feel like he could probably hate my guts that I am no longer to be seen on Planet Vegeta or he is still probably wondering where I went.

I think to myself, I really am sorry that I could no longer be there for you, Raditz, but I really hope you understand and let me explain if I ever see you again.

If I were to ever explain to him, however, he could possibly think that I am a "traitor" and a "disgrace" to the Saiyan race as well as to Frieza. I really don't care about being known as a "traitor" and a "disgrace" to the Saiyan race and to Frieza. I don't regret that at all and I have accepted that some time ago. My mom and I both know that what we are doing is with good intentions. We aren't actually betraying anything and anybody.

Most of the Saiyans are the ones that are doing wrong. They should feel ashamed and not my mom and I.

A/N: What do you guys think? Constructive criticism is always welcome and I hope you guys have an amazing day! :)
