Training for the Saiyans' arrival part 2
A few days after Raditz gave Puar his message to give to the Earthling warriors, the long haired Saiyan had begun his 1st day of training with Piccolo. "So, Raditz, are you ready?"
Raditz took his battle stance and answered with eagerness. "Always."
"Good. With an attitude like that, you'll do just fine." Piccolo said with a grin. "Now, come at me. Give me everything you've got."
Raditz then rushed to Piccolo and they began trading punches and kicks, blocking or dodging every blow they could throw at each other until Piccolo tried grabbing Raditz's tail, only for the long haired Saiyan to grin before he landed an elbow on Piccolo's chest that sent him flying back while the Namekian warrior fired an energy ball that hit him head on, sending him flying back as well before they stopped themselves and stood up.
Piccolo then fired eye beams at Raditz but he just deflected them away and grinned evilly. "Hahahahahaha. Nice try, Piccolo, but I've been on the receiving end of cheap shots like that many times before."
Piccolo grinned, very satisfied. "Excellent work, Raditz." He said before Raditz teleported behind Piccolo and tried to kick him but Piccolo easily blocked it with his right forearm. "But remember, I've been trained by Akio and she sometimes got me with cheap shots too."
"Ha. I know I don't know Akio as well as you, Piccolo, but it wouldn't have surprised me." Raditz said with a grin.
"I'm glad you realized that. Just remember that the next 6 months will be for intense training, a little eating and a little rest. We can't afford to waste any time with the other 2 Saiyans' arrival being close at hand."
"Oh, don't worry, I remember." Raditz said before getting into a battle stance again. "But, there's something you should know, Piccolo."
"What?"
"1 of the Saiyans coming to Earth is…closely related to princess Akio."
"Closely related to her?" Piccolo asked with a raised eye. "Does she have…family? I thought her family all died when Frieza destroyed her home planet."
"Not all of them. There's 1 more member of the royal bloodline left besides her. It's…her older brother, prince Vegeta the 4th. He survived, too." Raditz revealed.
"Her…her brother?" Piccolo asked with shock and surprise.
"Yes. But make no mistake, Piccolo, Akio means nothing to him, as a warrior or a sister." Raditz said with contempt for Vegeta. "He sees her as nothing more than low level trash and the family outcast, just because she was born with a low power level of 30. Our king and queen realized a few years before they died that we Saiyans shouldn't be judged by what power level we're born with, only our potential for growth as warriors. But unfortunately, their arrogant, prideful and egotistical bastard son never realized that, he stuck to the old ways that Saiyans were judged. And as such, his exceptional power level has made him think so highly of himself that he believes himself to be the greatest warrior who's ever lived, so much so that he saw Fasha and I as low level trash and expendable, not allies or comrades."
Piccolo listened to Raditz very carefully and thought that Akio's brother needed to be put in his place. And who better to do so than his sister, as a way to prove him wrong and make his pride suffer. "Well, that bastard is going to be wishing he never came to this planet, because when Akio returns, she'll put him in his place and shatter his pride forever. And that…is something I will train every minute of the next few months for. Believe me, by the time Akio's done with him, he'll beg for death to release him from his eternal torment."
Raditz grinned at that, imagining Vegeta finally being put in his place and seeing him finally be what he's long deserved. "Oh, I will very much enjoy seeing him suffer. Now, Piccolo, let's continue."
"With pleasure." Piccolo said before they resumed their intense sparring.
Meanwhile, at Kami's Lookout
As the Earthling warriors were training intensely, practicing their own forms and techniques, Kami and Popo came out of the palace. "Kami will see all of you now."
"Hey, Kami, I don't wanna be rude, but we're not really learning anything new." Krillin said as Kami gave him a look.
"He's right." Yamcha said while walking up to him with Tien and Chiaotzu. "So far, you haven't taught us anything we couldn't do on our own. We wanna be as strong as Akio and Piccolo were when they were here."
"Yeah, come on, we want the same training you gave Akio and Piccolo, Kami." Krillin added.
Kami then confessed to them. "The truth is that…I didn't have to teach them anything." Before walking back into the palace, much to the Earthling warriors' shock.
But Yamcha wouldn't give up. "Mr. Popo, we all know that Akio made a bargain with Kami to train her and Piccolo here. Why can't you tell us what kind of training it was?"
"Yeah. We just wanna get stronger, that's all." Krillin added.
But Popo knew they had a different motivation. "Are you truly doing this to get stronger, or do you just want to try once again to put Akio and Piccolo in their places?"
"How'd you know that?" Yamcha asked dumbfounded.
"How could I not know? All of you have tried and failed to put Akio in her place. And now that she has Fasha and Raditz, along with Piccolo, that desire has increased tenfold. You believe that by beating Akio, you can defeat anyone, is that right?"
"Well…it's just that…we've been in Akio's shadow ever since we met her. And we still think that it would have been much easier for everyone if Fasha and Raditz had just taken Akio and Piccolo off this planet and fought their war away from the Earth and us." Tien explained.
"And besides, as we've said lots of times before: Akio is insane, bloodthirsty, and a complete savage and psychopath." Krillin said with contempt for Akio and her personality. "And she obviously trained Piccolo to be like that, too. They should've just…left the Earth with those other 2 and never come back."
"And, as I saw, it was exactly that kind of xenophobia that caused Fasha and Raditz to take little Hana and bring her to Akio and Piccolo, therefore making her witness 1st hand how the Saiyan race fights." Popo reminded them. "You judged the other 2 Saiyans, and by extension, the entire Saiyan race, by your interactions with Akio and believed that all the Saiyans were like her."
"Oh, come on, Mr. Popo. You've seen how 1 Saiyan acts, and now 3, you've seen 'em all." Yamcha said.
Popo then got an idea to make them see what he and Kami had seen a few years ago. "Follow me, please." He said, leading them into the palace as they followed him.
They followed Popo into a dark room with some sort of time device that was swinging back and forth like an old big clock. "Whoa, check it out." Yamcha said with amazement.
"What is this place?" Tien asked.
"Here, the past, present and future are mixed." Popo answered.
"Amazing." Chiaotzu said.
"This is where you'll begin your training. When Akio and Piccolo were here, a quarter of their training took place in this room before they moved on to other places here."
"What? Just a quarter?" Yamcha asked with amazement.
"That's right, I hope you're ready." Popo said.
"I think we are." Tien said with confidence. "Let's do it!"
"Yeah." Krillin said with equal confidence.
"Step inside the circle, please." Popo said before the Earthling warriors did just that. "Gentleman, I can only recommend that you see with your hearts. Now, close your eyes." And when they did, he continued. "The next time you open your eyes, you will be on another planet from 27 years ago, a few years before Frieza had destroyed it. I wish you the best of luck, gentleman."
A few minutes later
The Earthling warriors opened their eyes to find themselves on a different planet, and from the looks of it, not a bad looking planet either. "Where are we?" Chiaotzu asked.
"I don't know, but it really looks like a different planet than Earth. Not too shabby either." Yamcha said with a smile.
"I wonder who lives here?" Krillin asked with curiosity.
"Or rather did live here once. Remember that Mr. Popo said that Frieza destroyed this planet, so this must have been before he decided to do it." Tien said while keeping an eye out. But then, he spotted something above that his exceptional eyesight caught. "Guys, get down, now!"
And when they took cover behind bushes and trees, they saw who unmistakably looked like 2 female Saiyans landing near the river, much to their shock. "I…don't believe it. They're Saiyans." Yamcha said.
"And female Saiyans, too." Krillin said before seeing them about to do something with each other. "And it looks like they probably came here for a sparring session."
"No, I don't think so." Yamcha said before he saw the female Saiyans take off their armor and bodysuits, along with their gloves and shoes and Scouters until they were completely naked!
"Aaahh…they…just stripped…naked…!" Krillin said as he and Yamcha stood frozen in excitement, while Tien and Chiaotzu covered their eyes.
The 2 female Saiyans jumped into the air and dived into the river before they began swimming around for a few minutes until they swam back up, revealing themselves to be in an embrace as they passionately and lustfully tongue kissed, much to Krillin and Yamcha's shock.
"Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm… Ohhh…I love you, Akchoy." The female Saiyan with a gorgeous curved and hourglass body, with C-cup breasts and spiky horn-like hair, similar to Akio's but different because of the widow's peak.
"And I love you, Erkin." Akchoy, who had the same body, but with a bit longer hair and still spiked in places, moaned out in lust before they began having sex, rubbing their bodies together in the water. "Mmmmm…baby, let's leave. Let's run off somewhere together, far away from Frieza and his minions. We… Ooooh yes. Aaahh… can live on some other world where we can train ourselves to get stronger…. Aaahh…Uuhh, yesss…. And we could even find a way to have daughters together, on our own…and start our own faction of Saiyans."
"Aaahh. Uuhhhh! Ooohh…fuck. Oh, baby. Ahhhh…" Erkin moaned in pleasure. "I…would absolutely love that, baby. Aaahh…yes. And, I've talked with the queen and several other female Saiyans like us, and…Oh, shit…ahhhh…she approves of it as well. Ahhhh…after we're done here, we…fuck…can gather the few that want to join us and leave immediately after." Before they both leaned in and shared a loving and passionate tongue kiss.
And while the Earthling warriors kept themselves hidden while covering their ears to keep out the moaning, Tien seemed to hear what they were planning. 'So, is it really possible that…those 2 Saiyans and a few more female Saiyans like them…escaped this planet long before Frieza destroyed it? If so, there may be several other survivors of the Saiyan race that Fasha and Raditz didn't know about, and especially not Akio.'
After the lesbian Saiyans Erkin and Akchoy had climaxed together and were done making love, they got out of the water, dried themselves and put back on their bodysuits, boots, gloves and armor before they put on their Scouters last.
Erkin pressed the button on the scouter, putting it on a secret frequency as she contacted the 30 other lesbian Saiyans that wanted to join them. "This is Corporal Erkin, calling out to all mine and my dear Akchoy's fellow loving female Saiyans, who wish in search of a better home because of us being lesbians, the time has come for us to leave planet Vegeta for good and head out to a new planet for us to live free, be ourselves and become as strong as we can possibly get, to celebrate and honor the youngest member of the royal bloodline: princess Akio. You will all be sent the coordinates of a selected planet far beyond the reaches of King Cold's Empire on this frequency." Erkin however then gave a sigh and told. "But... if any of you have second thoughts and choose to take your chances and stay on planet Vegeta, we will all understand. Corporal Erkin out." Before she broke communications and both lesbian saiyans held hands before flying off to the nearest city where they had their space pods.
Unknown to them, Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu and Yamcha, curious, secretly flew to the landing platform of Erkin and Akchoy's Space Pods, while seeing a town full of Saiyans just going about their day, with a bunch of other female Saiyans chopping up large amounts of meat. And other groups moving pods around while others were talking amongst themselves and even Saiyan children as well, talking with each other, sparring or just being with their parents doing things that any Earth family would. It seemed like Saiyan society wasn't all that different from Earth's, save for having technology far more advanced than theirs, even being capable of interstellar travel. And seeing all this, the earthling warriors were slowly gaining a different perspective on the Saiyan race, as not all of them were as insane as Akio was.
They then stopped and hid at a landing building, where 1 male Saiyan asked Erkin and Akchoy a few questions regarding their unexpected planned trip to a designated planet in Cold's Empire to live in peace, be themselves and train privately to get stronger and stronger.
Achoy then asked him with a threatening voice. "Is that all, soldier?"
Nervous, knowing that both Achoy and Erkin are more powerful than he is because he had a weaker power level than them, which he knew all too well, which made him choose to work at the landing pod section, the Saiyan male soldier nodded. "Uhh... yes! Yes, of course."
As the dumb Saiyan left, Achoy and Erkin exchanged a lovely smile and shared a passionate kiss before entering their designated space pods. "Hopefully, if the gods allow it, when we see each other's faces again, my love, we'll be on our new home planet."
"Yes. May the gods be kind to all of our loving lesbian Saiyans, and to all Saiyans on planet Vegeta, my sweet Achoy." Erkin said with a sweet smile before their pod doors closed.
After typing in the coordinates, both their space pods flew up, leaving planet Vegeta.
Joined with the 2 lesbian Saiyans, about 30 more space pods joined them, showing they were the other lesbian Saiyans that wanted to join Achoy and Erkin and that they had all answered the call to join them.
Erkin then contacted Achoy and the other lesbian Saiyans with her scouter. "This is it, my fellow female Saiyans... we're leaving our home world behind... and starting a new life somewhere far away from the Cold family's empire." And while she and Achoy simultaneously changed their pods coordinates, she then spoke. "From here on out, we're on radio silence…until we land on our intended planet." Before she took off her scouter and crushed it in her palm, destroying it.
Achoy did the same thing, followed by the other 30 female Saiyans. And as all their pods changed course, all of them slowly went into Cryosleep, while in 1 bigger pod, which was enough for 2 people, 2 other lesbian Saiyans exchanged a smile before planting a kiss on each other's lips before they went into Cryosleep while holding hands.
Back on the planet's surface
Krillin, Tien and Yamcha looked up at the sky as they saw all the pods go into lightspeed, leaving planet Vegeta behind, before they exchanged looks. "Wow. I can't believe they went through so much risk just to find a place where they could all live in peace." Yamcha said.
Krillin nodded. "Yeah. They must've really wanted to live somewhere far away from Frieza and his family and…find a peaceful planet where they could be themselves, get stronger and…maybe even have kids of their own…if that's even possible for a big group of all female Saiyans." But then, he wondered. "Do you think that... they could still be alive somewhere deep in outer space?"
"Maybe. It's possible." Tien said before he frowned. "But still, I'm not trusting them for a second. If they are all still alive out there somewhere, who knows what those Saiyans are capable of if they've gotten much stronger then they were on this day and time. If anything, they'd just cause the Earth and the universe trouble. Just as Akio's insanity just puts us all in danger over and over and over again!"
"Hey, guys, see that place over there?" Chiaotzu asked while pointed at the building on the hill.
"Yeah, that looks like a palace. Could that be…King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot's home?" Krillin asked. "Oh, what am I saying? Of course that's where they'd live."
"Let's go explore the palace. There's bound to be something in there. But we'd better stay together. The palace will definitely have the most elite warriors in there, so we can't let or guard down for even a second." Tien said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about me. I could take on 1 of these Saiyans with my hands tied behind my back." Yamcha said arrogantly.
"Yeah, me too, I hope." Krillin said nervously.
"Still, I'm amazed that none of the other Saiyans have noticed us yet." Tien said.
"Maybe they're too chicken to come after us." Yamcha said with overconfidence.
"I highly doubt that." Chiaotzu said, knowing from experience due to knowing Akio.
"Has our experiences with Akio really taught you nothing, Yamcha? Saiyans may be a lot of things, but cowards definitely aren't 1 of them. Akio's a prime example of that. She's never ran from a fight, even when she knew she'd have absolutely no chance of winning. I'm not her biggest fan, but that's 1 of her best and good qualities, and that is saying something." Tien reminded his friend.
"Let's just worry about what the palace has to offer and not start an argument that could possibly, very more than likely, end up getting us all killed, all right?" Krillin said to his friends, making them both reluctantly nod in agreement.
After they had sneaked into the royal palace, which proved to be a difficult task in its own right, the four Earth warriors began exploring it, seeing many interesting rooms and chambers that anyone would see in a palace, from a big ballroom, many bedrooms, and a massive kitchen with large amounts of meat like in the town they'd seen, all the while, being extremely careful not to make any Saiyan inside the palace aware of their presence, but in the process, seeing that some of the Saiyans were skilled at several other things besides just fighting, like cooking, and even some of them being scientists and technology developers, while also seeing a very large training room, with some adults acting as teachers to many children, practicing flying, energy attacks for those that preferred blast combat and basic punching and kicking for close quarters combat, as well as a large area outside where many Saiyans were training their tails and their Great Ape forms.
But unknown to them, around a corner several feet away from them, the King and Queen of the Saiyan race themselves were watching them, having seen them while on their way to the nursery to check up on their newborn daughter after getting a report from the doctors that there was something in her DNA, which they called a mutation unlike anything they'd ever seen before.
Queen Carrotalot checked their total power level and told her husband. "Their total combined fighting power is 6,583. Quite impressive. But still, they could be a danger to our daughter."
"Indeed. Especially since the direction they're heading in leads right to the nursery." King Vegeta said with concern for the infant princess. "Let's follow them, but order all nurses in the room to clear out of there and alert Bardock and his squad."
"Of course, my husband." Queen Carrotalot said before using her scouter to do just that while following the earthling warriors.
Back with the Earthling warriors
"You know, I gotta admit, Saiyan society isn't really…not so different from ours, save for having tails and all the other benefits that come with being Saiyans. And having technology advanced enough for interstellar travel." Tien said with realization.
"Yeah. Now that I think about it, none of them seem as insane as Akio. It kinda makes me wonder what she could've been like if she lived with her own kind. Maybe…she'd still be the warrior she is…just…far less insane, bloodthirsty, savage and psychopathic." Chiaotzu added while thinking about what Akio could have been like had circumstances been different for her.
"Maybe. But in the end, none of this changes what she turned into in the end, and I don't think even the dragon balls can change the past." Yamcha said, indifferent.
"And I don't think Akio would even want the story of her life changed anyway, except…maybe having her home planet, her people and her parents alive and thriving." Krillin said with a bit of sympathy for Akio losing her home planet, her parents and all her people.
They then entered a room and saw what looked like capsules with many Saiyan children inside them, with some of them being empty. This was the nursery where all the newborn Saiyans were sleeping until they were ready to come out and choose what kind of life they'd live in Saiyan society. "Wow. Look at all these Saiyan babies. There must be dozens of them in here." Tien said.
"This must be where all Saiyan babies are nursed and taken care of after their birth. Bulma told me that Akio's pod had a nursing capsule just like these." Yamcha added. "She said that these nursing capsules give the babies all the nourishment they need for at least the 1st 3 to 5 years of their lives."
"That's…kinda cool. If Earth babies had these kinds of capsules, it'd sure save their parents the trouble of having to buy things for nourishment until they're 3 or 5 years old." Chiaotzu said with amazement that the Saiyans had developed technology to nourish their children through infanthood.
"Yeah." Krillin said while looking at the capsules, seeing that most of them were yellow. "Still, you'd think they'd pick a different light color for the capsules because they're mostly yellow."
"Not these, though. They're at least different colors." Yamcha said while at the circle of different colored nursing capsules.
Tien looked at them as well, getting a theory about these Saiyan babies. "These Saiyan babies must be part of the future elite. Bulma also told us that Akio told her that the nursery in the palace was reserved for exceptional children who became part of the Saiyan elites when they grew up. But it wasn't until later that they finally started letting even low-level babies with great potential be here, too, depending on their parents' successful missions across the universe. And, now that I think about it, we're standing in the exact same nursery right now."
Chiaotzu eyed the nursing capsule at the very top of the stairway. "Hmm…I wonder who's Saiyan baby is in that capsule?" He asked himself before flying up to the top capsule and looking very closely at the Saiyan baby inside of it. But when he got a very good look at the baby, even though its face was partly covered by a mouth mask and tube, the very familiar hairstyle and the small female body was a dead giveaway to exactly who she was, making Chiaotzu very shocked and surprised. "Ah… Ah…. Aaahh! G-guys, you really should…come look at this."
The others ran up the stairs and got a really good look at the baby as well…and stared in silent surprise and shock as they realized that this incubator…was Akio's, with the Saiyan princess sleeping peacefully inside. "N-n-n-no way. That's…Akio!"
"This…this is…her nursing capsule." Yamcha added.
"Or rather…was her nursing capsule before she was sent to Earth." Tien added.
And after getting over their shock after a few minutes, they couldn't help but smile and chuckle softly after seeing how adorable Akio looked as a baby. "You know, guys, she's…actually…kind of…cute and adorable. She looks very…peaceful and…innocent like that, you know?" Chiaotzu said with a smile.
"Hey, I got an idea: let's check her power level." Yamcha said before he used his scouter to measure baby Akio's power level, which surprised him. "What?! 30?! Just a lame power level of 30?! That can't be right. This thing must be broken or something."
"Oh, I don't think it is, Yamcha. Remember when Bulma read Akio and Piccolo's power levels with the scouter Akio gave to her during the tournament? They could raise and lower their power levels at will, and it fooled the scouter." Krillin explained. "And she also said that they sometimes raised their power in an exact instant they attacked each other, and when they did, it was such a brief flash that the scouter couldn't detect it."
Yamcha thought about that and it made sense to him. "Yeah, that does make sense. Which means that when it comes to warriors that can raise and lower their power levels at will, the Scouters are practically useless. But since this is baby Akio, and she hasn't learned how to do any of that yet, it's completely accurate."
"Which means we have to work on sensing power levels, too." Chiaotzu said.
Tien kept looking at baby Akio. "So, this is the baby who'll take over the Earth 1 day. If only her parents knew how she would turn out, I bet they'd just possibly send her to a different planet."
"Yeah. But, you gotta admit, though, she is kinda cute and adorable as a little baby." Yamcha admitted.
"Well, this cute and adorable little baby's gonna grow up to be an insane, bloodthirsty, savage and an antisocial psychopath who's going to get us and our families and friends and the entire Earth into mortal danger again and again and again." Tien reminded them. "Sure, I'll admit she's cute and adorable now, but you guys have gotta remember what she's eventually going to be like when she's old enough to walk and talk all the way to being fully grown."
Suddenly, the analyst computer beside baby Akio's nursing capsule beeped, getting their attention before they looked at it, seeing her DNA, specifically in her tail, and that something very odd about it was… changing before it began to glow a dark red color. "I'm no biologist, but I don't think that's supposed to happen to DNA, right?" Yamcha asked.
"Yeah. But why's her DNA changing like that?" Krillin asked.
"I don't know. Do you think it could be some kind of…mutation or something?" Chiaotzu asked.
Tien looked at baby Akio and saw that she'd awoken while hearing her growl despite her voice being muffled a bit from the glass. "Guys, I think you better have a look at this."
And when the others looked and saw Akio, they were completely shocked, especially with Akio's eyes, which were now opened, began to change as Yamcha's scouter beeped, showing her increasing power level. "What the hell?! No way! Look at her eyes!"
"Yeah! They're…changing!" Krillin said with shock as Akio's eyes began to change what they knew into pure glowing blood ruby red and pupiless.
"RRRRRRHHHHHHH!" Baby Akio roared out while the liquid in her chamber began to boil to hot levels, as without knowing it, her berserker rage, which was a result of an unknown mutation in her DNA, had taken her over.
But just as it began, the mutated DNA, while changing back somewhat but left vast traces of the glowing dark red everywhere, had at least stopped glowing as Akio's eyes changed back to normal and she closed them before resuming her peaceful slumber.
"Whoa, that is crazy! For a couple of minutes, her DNA changed like it was mutating and her power level went from 30 to 300!" Yamcha said as he checked Akio's power level. "But it looks like she's gone back to normal now."
"If her power level had been any higher than 30 with that tenfold increase she just had, I don't really wanna imagine what it would've been like at any point in her life we've known her." Chiaotzu said, terrified at the thought.
"Yeah. It's scary to even think about. If she really does have this kind of mutation in her, then she's more of an insane, bloodthirsty and savage animal than I thought." Tien said with fear in his voice.
But without their knowledge, the 3 earthling warriors heard a stern male voice, saying. "You'd better watch your mouth when insulting and talking about our daughter that way, fools!"
Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu and Yamcha turned themselves, seeing in shock while turning as pale as ghosts, 2 Saiyans hovering in front of them, both wearing Saiyan Elite armor and both wearing a long cape and gold neck wear, with the female Saiyan demanding darkly. "Step away from that nursing capsule, NOW!"
All 4 earthling warriors, while slowly hovering into the air to get away from baby Akio's nursing capsule, could easily see the resemblance in both of them, as there was not a single doubt in their minds that they were Akio's parents. "You 2 are... are... Akio's mom and dad! King Vegeta and... Queen Carrotalot!" Krillin said while sweat formed on his forehead. "But that's... impossible! You're dead! I mean...! Akio told us you are both dead!"
But Tien then told Krillin. "They're not real, Krillin. They're probably just images of the past."
King Vegeta the 3rd however formed a smirk. "You really think we're not real? I'll show you!" Before he quickly powered up and flew right towards Tien, punching him hard in the midsection, shocking Tien before King Vegeta kicked him in the face, sending him flying backwards through a wall that led outside the palace.
Yamcha looked in shock "Tien!" But then he suddenly was met with a number of fast and strong punches in the chest and face by Carrotalot, sending him flying backwards after a powerful energy wave attack, while her husband sent Krillin flying back after them!
Carrotalot then grabbed Chiaotzu by his head and flew after the earthling warriors, seeing them land into the forest area, where Bardock and his squad were waiting. "They landed here, your majesties. What do you want us to do with them?" Bardock asked his king and queen.
"Take your squad and protect the children in the palace nursery, Bardock." King Vegeta answered.
"Leave these strangers to us." Queen Carrotalot added, making Bardock and his squad nod before they flew off to do just that. And when the King and Queen of the Saiyans landed, she threatened the earthling warriors by squeezing Chiaotzu's head. "Tell us why you are on our planet and how you know of our daughter, or this 1 dies!"
"Tien, help me! Help me!" Chiaotzu cried out in desperation.
"Chiaotzu!" Tien cried out.
"Help! Let me go!"
But as Tien tried to prepare a Tri-Beam attack, King Vegeta used a shockwave to send him flying back before he could dodge it. "Never try to attack my dear Carrotalot! Ever!"
"Help! Let me go! Let me go!" Chiaotzu cried out.
"Shut up, stranger! Stop whining like a coward and accept your fate like a true warrior! Now, tell us how you know about our daughter, NOW!" Carrotalot demanded, only for Chiaotzu to not say anything due to being worried about the possibility of changing history as they knew it. "So be it!" Queen Carrotalot said before vaporizing him with just 1 blast!
"CHIAOTZU!" Tien cried out in horror.
King Vegeta then told him. "You should have told us what we wanted to know, stranger! But you fools could still save yourself and give us information on how you know about our precious Akio!"
But Tien, blinded by his rage and the loss of his best friend, rushed to attack the Saiyan queen, despite Krillin warning him. "Be careful, Tien! She is Akio's mom after all!"
But Tien didn't listen and tried to land a few fast punches and kicks that Queen Carrotalot easily blocked and dodged…until he managed to find an opening and landed a very good knee to her ribs and a jump spin kick to her midsection that sent her flying back before he prepared another Tri-Beam Cannon. "TRI-BEAM…HAAAAAA!" He yelled out before firing his blast and it landed a direct hit!
But Queen Carrotalot, completely unharmed, just rushed to the 3 eyed earthling warrior and landed a rush kick to his midsection, sending him back before she teleported behind him and landed a very hard punch on his lower back, making him yell in pain before she wrapped her tail around his neck and squeezed. "Very impressive technique, I'll give you that, but you're still weak! Now, tell us how you know of my precious little Akio!"
But Yamcha quickly prepared his Spirit Ball attack. "Come on, come on…Yes!" He said as the attack was complete.
But King Vegeta got in his way. "If you want to fight her, you have to get through me 1st!"
"With pleasure, your majesty!" Yamcha mocked the Saiyan king before launching his ultimate technique at him, sending it up 1st and catching King Vegeta off guard before Yamcha sent it down onto him and Tien quickly kicked queen Carrotalot in the side of her face before kicking her towards her husband as the Spirit Ball exploded on impact with them!
But when the smoke cleared, the Saiyan king and queen were completely unharmed. "Was that supposed to hurt, stranger? Because all I felt was a tickle!" Queen Carrotalot said with a smirk, much to Yamcha's disbelief.
"Oh yeah?! Well, how about this?!" Krillin said while preparing a Kamehameha wave, while Tien and Yamcha prepared another Tri-Beam Cannon and Spirit Ball at their full power and fired their blasts at the royal Saiyan parents, who took a defense stance, causing a much more massive explosion when the blasts hit them!
And when the smoke cleared, there was a bit of a crater and a hole where King Vegeta and queen Carrotalot had stood. "It looks like we actually did it." Yamcha said.
"Man, those 2 were tough." Tien added.
"Yeah. Now we know where Akio got all her skills. Of course, she was trained by mostly Fasha, but at the end of the day, she was still the daughter of the king and queen themselves."
"Got that right. Poor Chiaotzu didn't even have a chance." Yamcha said sadly as he thought of Chiaotzu.
"Chiaotzu, we've avenged you, my friend." Tien thought to himself.
"You've avenged no 1, strangers!" The voice of queen Carrotalot said from all around the earthling warriors, shocking them as they looked around for her.
But then, she jumped from the hole and into the air before vanishing. "Whoa, she disappeared!" Tien said…before the right hand of King Vegeta burst out of the ground and grabbed Krillin by his left ankle and pulled him down! "Krillin!" Tien cried out. "Are…are they immortal here?"
"No, I don't think so. This is probably just how strong Akio's parents were before they died." Yamcha theorized. "And if that's true, if we don't watch out, they're gonna get us while we're not looking."
But then, they heard the sounds of Krillin getting beaten to death while he screamed in agony. "AAA! AAAHH! AAAAHHHHH!"
"KRILLIN!" Yamcha and Tien cried out for their friend at the same time.
"Come on!" Tien said before they ran to the hole they made, only for a big purple blast to come up from it as Krillin gave another yell before he burst out the hole and Queen Carrotalot teleported above him and vaporized him with a 1 handed Galick Gun before she disappeared again!
"Krillin!" Yamcha cried out.
"I don't care if they're images of the past or Akio's parents, they're just as evil as she is! And right now, all I wanna do is beat them!" Tien said with anger for the parents of the 1 being he disliked more than anyone in the entire universe.
But then, King Vegeta teleported above them. "You should have told us what we wanted to know, strangers!"
Then queen Carrotalot appeared next to her husband and added. "But we can give you another chance if you want to leave this planet with your lives. Now, how do you know about our precious Akio?!"
But Yamcha just gathered energy for another Spirit Ball, much to king Vegeta's annoyance. "So it appears you still want to do this the hard way." Before he and his mate disappeared again.
"If that's what you desire, strangers, then so be it!" Queen Carrotalot added.
Yamcha and Tien then jumped down the hole and saw the royal Saiyan parents and prepared for another attack. "All right, Yamcha, let's give them everything we've got."
"We're losing patience with you, strangers. Now tell us what we want to know!" King Vegeta demanded.
But Tien only said this. "Multi-form!"
"Spirit Ball!" Yamcha added, charging up the biggest Spirit Ball he ever had before, while Tien split himself into 4 and surrounded the Saiyan king and queen and each of them prepared a Tri-Beam Cannon at their maximum power and fired at them while Yamcha launched his Super Spirit Ball into the air before bringing it down on the royal Saiyans, causing an even bigger explosion than before!
And when it appeared that King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot were finally defeated, Tien combined into 1 once more while Yamcha fell to his knees in exhaustion. "Man, that was horrible. Those 2 really were Akio's parents."
"Yes, they were. And to think that the baby we saw in that nursing capsule was born with just a power level of 30. And what's worse, Akio must have been even stronger than they were before she died." Tien added while believing that Akio had surpassed her own parents before her death.
But that was when King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot burst from the ground, taking Tien and Yamcha by surprise as they began beating the earthling warriors to bloody pulps for the next few minutes before they used their tails to strangle them.
Queen Carrotalot then asked in a demanding tone. "You and your friends have fought valiantly and have lasted longer than anyone else we've fought together. I commend you all for that, but now it's over! And now, for the last time: who are you, strangers? How did you get to planet Vegeta? What were you doing in the nursery?"
King Vegeta would swiftly add. "And how did you even get inside our palace?! And most importantly, how do you know of our daughter?!"
Yamcha attempted to answer weakly. "Uh, will you see, Your Highness..."
King Vegeta countered with the intimidating glare on his face. "SPEAK QUICKLY!"
Tien immediately cried out. "Wait!"
The Saiyan King demanded while glancing back at the three-eyed Human warrior. "Why should we wait, weakling?"
Tien answered while looking at Yamcha, who reluctantly and sadly nodded, silently telling him that it was okay. "Because we're...sort of 'friends' of your daughter, Akio…in the future."
As soon as the words left his mouth, King Vegeta and Carrotalot would stare in deep shock after hearing that stunning revelation and the Saiyan Queen would ask softly. "What? You certainly didn't speak of her as such. And there's no way you could know her, she's only an infant!"
King Vegeta ordered them demandingly, as he was deeply curious to how the four humans could possibly be 'friends' with his daughter when she was only still a baby. "Explain yourselves, while you still have life left, NOW!"
Tien then answered for himself and for Yamcha, explaining to King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot on how they were Humans from the planet earth who came from the future and how they knew Akio was because she had been sent to Earth...shortly before Frieza had destroyed Planet Vegeta and annihilated the entire Saiyan race. And as both King Vegeta and Carrotalot silently listened to Tien explain how he, Krillin, Yamcha and Chiaotzu knew Akio, the Saiyan King and Queens couldn't help but smile after hearing what a beautiful, strong and very smart warrior their daughter had become...even though Carrotalot and even her husband were deeply shocked after hearing that Akio had developed a severe antisocial personality disorder, along with a bloodthirsty, savage and psychopathic personality.
Shortly after Tien had finished his explanation, both King Vegeta and Carrotalot would thank the three-eyed Human warrior for his honesty. "I thank you for your honesty, earthling."
"Indeed. And…even though we couldn't see it, it warms my heart to know that our precious Akio will grow up to be everything we hoped she would be…despite her becoming a severely antisocial, insane, bloodthirsty psychopath, as you humans call her." Queen Carrotalot said with sadness that she or her husband couldn't see their daughter grow up.
"But…if you earthlings really are from the future, we won't risk the slightest change to our daughter's role in the time stream. History must unfold as it should, earthlings, and no 1 must be allowed to change it, NO 1!" King Vegeta said, having respect for the laws of time itself.
"And so, earthlings, it is with a heavy heart that you both must die today, like your other friends did. We won't risk the slightest chance of Frieza or any of his mindless lap dogs finding out about her existence! We won't risk anything or anyone endangering her or her future. But take heart that Akio will be the 1 who kills Frieza and his family and their mindless lap dogs. And when that happens, she will save the entire universe…AND RULE IT IN THE WAY SHE SEES FIT!" Queen Carrotalot added before she and her husband blasted Yamcha and Tien, vaporizing them both!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" They both yelled out in horror before everything went black.
And when Tien opened his eyes again, he saw Kami and Popo standing a few feet in front of them. "Mr. Popo. Kami."
"I'm alive." Yamcha said with surprise as he touched his face.
Tien looked and saw Chiaotzu. "Chiaotzu!"
"Kami, how did we get here?" Krillin, who was just as surprised, asked.
"You never left. Only your physical bodies remained here." Popo answered. "With the help of this room, your spirits made dream bodies which they used to travel to into the past." Before Kami nodded to confirm it.
Tien and the others, after getting over the surprise, hung their heads in shame. "We…we weren't even close to beating a Saiyan, especially not the King and Queen of all Saiyans themselves." Tien said with anger at himself.
"Yeah. They…were just too powerful for us, and what's worse, they weren't even as strong as Akio was." Yamcha added. "But…they did what they did to us to…protect Akio, so…I don't think I can blame them."
"Yes. King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot only did what any parent should have done: protect their child." Kami said wisely. "And I know that you saw what Saiyan society was like at its peak. So, I trust you all saw them in a far different light now?"
"Well, I think we did, Kami. They…may be different from us in so many ways, but in some ways, they're not so different at all." Krillin said with a new perspective on the Saiyan race.
"Yeah, and most of all, none of them were like Akio. Personally-wise, anyway." Chiaotzu added. "I guess…time and circumstances, as well as some of her parents genetics, made her that way."
"Kami, there's something we have to know." Tien said, remembering the main 2 things he saw.
"Yes. The form Akio took as an infant in her nursing capsule. Even I, or Akio herself, didn't know what it was. But now, I see that it's because of a mutation in her Saiyan DNA. It makes her have everything that comes with Saiyans becoming a Great Ape when there's a full moon, only she remains in her human form, regaining her speed and agility, but it appears to have a high price: she loses all sense of who or what she is and cannot control it the way she learned to control her Ape form."
"But…what about those 32 female Saiyans that left planet Vegeta? It was at least a few years before Frieza destroyed the planet and every Saiyan on it, so they were extremely lucky to leave when they all did." Yamcha said with curiosity. "Do you know… what happened to them?"
Kami closed his eyes and answered. "I'm afraid that I don't. I can only see events happening on Earth, not the entire universe. But…the 2 you saw, Achoy and Erkin, seemed like good-hearted people, along with the other 30 Saiyans that joined them. Hopefully, if the gods above even me were kind, they completed their journey across the universe and found their intended planet…and the peaceful lives they sought out far away from Frieza and his empire."
"I still can't believe it. To think there were more Saiyans left out there besides Akio, Fasha, Raditz and the other 2 that are coming here." Yamcha said. "You don't think Fasha Raditz and those 2 others knew about them, do you, Kami?"
"As far as I could see in Raditz and Fasha's minds, they had no knowledge of the female Saiyans. But if there's a chance that they're still alive somewhere out there, Akio, Raditz and Fasha have a right to know about this." Kami answered.
"Well, when this is over and the other 2 Saiyans are dealt with, we'll tell Bulma about it, and she can tell Akio." Chiaotzu said, thinking Bulma could be the 1 who can tell Akio, Fasha and Raditz about the 32 female lesbian Saiyans.
"That would make sense. Bulma's the 1 earthling that knows Akio better than we do, and the 1 who that insane, monkey-tailed jerk mostly trusts and considers as close to an earth friend as she can get, if that's what you can call the kind of relationship they have." Yamcha said, thinking that could be a good idea.
"But still, I can't believe after all our training over the last 5 years, we couldn't beat the king and queen of the Saiyans themselves, and they weren't even close to their own daughter's level." Tien said, still ashamed of himself.
"Regardless, Tien, you all did very well. You all fought valiantly against Akio's father and mother. Even Queen Carrotalot herself admitted it and even commended you for fighting them with the intent to fight to the death. I hope that comforts you somewhat." Kami assured them all. "But you all should know this: the Saiyans who are on their way to Earth are far stronger than King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot were in their lifetimes, and I fear that they may even surpass Akio's power."
This shocked the earthling warriors, as they couldn't believe that King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot were weak when compared to their own daughter, Fasha, Raditz and Piccolo, and even her power levels were weak compared to the other 2 Saiyans that were coming to Earth right now.
"Far stronger than even Akio? Are you sure about that, Kami?" Yamcha asked with shock.
Kami nodded his head to confirm his answer. "I can certainly understand if any of you want to back out of this now. Believe me, there would be no honor in doing so. But if you wish to leave, go now, because there will be no looking back for those of you who remain after today."
But just as it seemed like they were going to give us, the earthling warriors grinned. "Wouldn't miss it." Yamcha said.
"No, me neither." Tien added.
"I'm in." Chiaotzu said with a smile.
"Me too." Krillin finished, making Kami and Popo look at each other before back at the earthling warriors.
"It's settled then." Yamcha said with determination. "We'll spend 24 hours a day in this room if we have to. We'll beat those Saiyans and show Akio and Piccolo that we can defend our own planet."
"Yeah!" Krillin cheered.
"Then let's get to work." Tien said with the same determination as his friends.
Back with Piccolo and Raditz
As the 2 warriors were continued to train extremely hard for the other Saiyans arrival, Piccolo had introduced Raditz to the form of meditative training he and Akio had invented years ago, with the long haired Saiyan finding great results in his offense and defense attacks and even counterattacks, with both warriors getting great hits on each other, beating each other almost to the brink before using the healing chambers that Akio had Bulma build in her home when she was a child, which increased their strength to greater levels.
They'd been doing this for the last 2 months, improving greatly to honor their respective comrades-in-arms for when they'd finally return to them. But it was on this night that Raditz would see 1st hand the power of Piccolo's berserker rage.
At nighttime, Piccolo was taking his rest, he dreamt of Akio and the fight she'd have with her brother when she finally returned. But that dream soon turned into a nightmare.
In Piccolo's dream
Akio, bleeding, battered, bruised and broken, was laying on her back, yelling out in agonizing pain as a Saiyan that looked almost in every way, although because of the darkness, he couldn't see what he was actually like, was stumping his right foot down on Akio's ribs, breaking them all as he laughed at her suffering in evil delight. "Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! You see now, Akio?! You're nothing but low level trash and the outcast of the royal bloodline! A waste of Saiyan blood that never deserved to be born! And now, I shall correct that mistake and purify the bloodline completely!" He said with a delightful grin as he prepared to blast Akio into non-existence. "Now… DIIIIIIIEE!" Before he blasted Akio into nothingness!
Back in the real world
Piccolo opened his eyes, horrified by his nightmare. "Akio. Akio!" He said before getting up and looking at the full moon, beginning to get very angry as he felt the same feeling he did when he and Akio sealed Garlic Jr in his own Dead Zone, his eyes closing tightly for a few minutes as he placed his hands on his head…before they opened again with a bright green glow. "AKIOOOOOOOOOO!"
Meanwhile
Raditz, who'd sensed the increase in power due to mastering how to sense energy levels, became very surprised before he flew to Piccolo's position. "What the hell is going on with Piccolo?" He asked as he landed and looked around, seeing Piccolo's cape and turban before seeing Piccolo himself walking towards him. "There you are. What the hell are you up to, Piccolo?"
But Piccolo, having lost control of his senses completely, only growled like a bloodthirsty animal before he roared out, not seeing Raditz, but the Saiyan from his nightmare in his place. "RRRRRRHHHHHHH!" And tried to pounce on Raditz, who dodged him, only for Piccolo to rush back to him and begin to trade blows with Raditz until he found an opening and punched the Namekian back and tried firing his Saturday Crush. But Piccolo deflected it and jumped up on the ledge, making Raditz jump on the opposite side, where they stared at each other for a few minutes before jumping towards each other for an attack, with both seemingly not hitting each other as they landed!
Raditz felt blood leaking from his right cheek and touched it in surprise. "What the hell? I didn't even see him attack me! How could his power increase this much?!" He asked himself before following Piccolo, who was running like a wild, bloodthirsty animal on all fours. "Piccolo!" He said with anger before firing eye beams that Piccolo easily avoided before the long haired Saiyan got in front of Piccolo. "Piccolo, I don't know what the hell's gotten into you, but it must stop, now!"
The crazed and bloodthirsty Piccolo then jumped up as Raditz fired his Double Sunday attack at him, but he just took the blasts, as if he didn't even feel them, and rushed to Raditz to trade blows with him, getting in lots of good hits in before Raditz began counterattacking, getting in some punches and kicks of his own before he saw Piccolo's glowing green eyes!
"What the hell happened to your eyes?!" Raditz asked with shock. And when Piccolo began trading blows with him again, with the Namekian landing a very hard punch and roundhouse kick that cracked Raditz's armor before punching his face and sending him back, he stopped himself and rubbed his aching face. "Ahh. What the hell has gotten into you, Namekian?!" He asked himself before he realized that this was what Piccolo was talking about. The mindless and bloodthirsty rage, the small changes to his body, and especially the 10 times increase in his abilities. "So, this is the berserker rage he was talking about. And it seems he's so lost in it that he can't feel any pain. But how did it take control of him? Why now?" He asked himself before Piccolo pounced on Raditz, kneeing his ribs and sending him flying across the ground and making him mad. "Damn that Namekian!"
And when Piccolo tried to do it again, Raditz quickly fired a barrage of lightning energy blasts at his ally, grinning as it seemed to work. But after a few minutes, Piccolo lunged himself forward and used his arms to move the blasts away from him before firing a Super Special Shine attack at Raditz, who barely dodged it before the blast went below the ground and made lava burst out!
"If I don't find a way to stop him, he'll destroy this entire area and possibly be as well!" Raditz said with anger before he powered up to his maximum and launched a Weekend blast at Piccolo that missed him. "And it looks like I may have to beat his senses back into him!" He said before he lured Piccolo away from the area as the Namekian continued to fire Super Special Shine blasts at him, not seeming to get the slightest bit tired. "Eat this, Piccolo! Let's see if you're berserker rage can take this!" He said before firing another Weekend blast at Piccolo at his maximum, only for Piccolo to just fly straight through it before getting to Raditz at point blank range, making him shocked before he teleported behind Piccolo and flew back. "Yeah, this berserker rage you spoke of really is everything you said it was, Piccolo. But, no matter what it takes, I'm going to snap you out of it!" He said before rushing to Piccolo, landing a strong and hard head blow on his face that sent him flying back into a rocky ledge before he followed him and proceeded to beat his face in repeatedly. "Come on, Piccolo, snap out of it! Snap out of it, NOOOW!" Before he flew up and charged up a Super Weekend attack. "All right, Piccolo, let's see if we can't bring you back to your senses. WEEKEND ATTACK!" Before he fired at Piccolo, hitting him directly and destroying the area around him in an incredible explosion before it died down and Raditz landed, seeing that Piccolo, who's gi was almost gone, had changed back, with his body's muscle mass back to normal before he checked his pulse, finding 1 and making him grin. "So, Piccolo, you've proven to be a very exceptional warrior…but there's a beast inside you that's just like a bloodthirsty Great Ape. But, while I think it could be useful to us down the road, it could also be a danger to our allies, as well as our enemies. And it makes me just as scared of what Akio could do if she ever unleashes her berserker rage." He said with a bit of fear in his voice. "Let us hope that whatever caused his rage to come out doesn't happen in our battle with Vegeta and Nappa… and that Akio doesn't unleash her berserker rage the same way…or the same way we Saiyans turn into Great Apes." Before picking Piccolo up and flying him back to their campgrounds.
Meanwhile, with Akio and Fasha
The Saiyan princess and her now mate/companion/comrade were still running along Snake Way, having felt more refreshed after their stay at Snake's palace and with additional goals in mind for the future, they were more motivated than ever to reach this King Kai and make him train them. And after what felt like an eternity, they finally saw the end of the long road.
"Fasha, look!" Akio said to her mate and princess.
The now turned mate and princess of the Saiyan race looked and saw the end of Snake Way as well, making her grin with insanity. "At last, our long run is finally over!"
"And now, my love, it's time to receive our long awaited training." Akio said before they ran to the end, but saw nothing. "What the hell, there's nothing here!"
But Fasha looked up and saw what looked like a small planet. "No, wait, look up! There is something up there!"
Akio saw the small planet and grinned evilly. "So, that fool Yemma wasn't lying after all. That's excellent news for him." She said before taking Fasha's hand. "Shall we, Fasha?"
"Yes, my precious Akio, we shall." Fasha answered before jumping up to the small planet and feeling the gravity of it, making them land hard on their feet. But after a few seconds, due to being in places that had more than 10 times gravity before, they quickly adjusted and looked around, seeing a tree, a red car and garage and a house, as well as a road that went around the small planet. "The gravity on this planet is just like planet Vegeta's."
"Indeed. But don't worry, Fasha. I 'convinced' Bulma's company to make a gravity machine that could go up to 100 times gravity. And while I have gotten to at least 30, I plan on eventually conquering 100 times gravity, 1 day." Akio assured her mate.
"Then…I'll be sure to be right there with you, Akio." Fasha said with a loving smile before looking at the tree. "But before we do anything else, let's snack on some of that fruit hanging on the tree."
Akio smiled before walking up to the tree and banging on it once, making 2 of the fruits fall off it before she caught 1 with her tail and gave the other to Fasha. And when they bit down on it, they found it tasted excellent. "Mmmmm…not too shabby."
"Indeed." Fasha said before eating her fruit.
That was when they heard an angry sound before they looked to their right and saw a little monkey that was pounding on their legs. "OOOHHHHH! OOOHH! AAAHH! AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHH! AHHH! OHHHH! AAHHH! OHHHH! OHHHH! AAHHH! AHHHH! AHHHHH! AAAAAAHHH!" He hooted angrily before grabbing their tails and biting down hard on them, making them hiss a little at the pain of it.
But this only got the 2 Saiyans very angry, which the monkey noticed before he became very afraid of them while he let go of their tails and backed up before trying to run away from them. The Saiyans, however, grinned with insanity as they slowly followed him like predators toying with their prey. The little monkey ran from the Saiyans as best he could, but only got more and more terrified when Akio and Fasha appeared right in front of him while grinning evilly and laughing insanely. And when he ran up the three and hid himself for the next few minutes, not seeing or hearing anything, he came down from the tree and looked around, not seeing the Saiyans, who unknown to him, were right behind him. And when he sighed with relief, turned around and saw them again, he gasped before Akio wrapped her tail around his neck and began to choke the monkey as he tried to get free.
"If our Great Ape forms were that small, we wouldn't want to draw any unwanted attention, particularly attention that wants to kill you, to ourselves, you banana-for-brained little simian!" Fasha said darkly while looking into the poor creature's terrified eyes.
"But…we'll be willing to let you live and overlook you trying to pound our legs and FOR BITING OUR TAILS IF YOU TELL US WHERE YOUR OBVIOUS MASTER IS!" Akio said with anger. "Oh, I forgot, you're incapable of speech, aren't you. I guess you'll just have to show us where your master is, won't you?!"
"HEY! LET HIM GO!" A voice from their left yelled out.
Akio and Fasha looked at where the voice came from and saw a rather short individual with blue skin, pointed ears, and had a pair of catfish-like barbels on the sides of his face. He wears Teashade sunglasses, a pair of small white shoes, a black tunic with goldenrod-trimmed sleeves, as well as his symbol on the front, and has a pair of cricket-like antennae.
"And who are you?" Fasha demanded.
"I'm King Kai! Now, please just let Bubbles go!" The being, revealed to be King Kai, pleaded.
Fasha smirked. "Humh. So, you're King Kai, are you? Well, ultimately, whether or not your pet gets to live is up to my precious Akio."
But Akio grinned evilly before rubbing her Fasha's shoulders. "I think I'll let you decide if this little fleabag lives, my dear Fasha. Tell me, as a princess of the mighty Saiyan race, what should I do with this pest?"
Fasha wanted to make an example of this monkey, but knowing that they'd wasted enough time just getting here already, decided. "Let him live, my love. We've wasted too much time just getting here already."
"So be it." Akio said before throwing Bubbles at the door to the house before he quickly got up and went inside. "So, you're King Kai, huh? I can tell just by looking at you that you can't beat us in combat. So, I'm going to demand you do something for my Fasha and me. Depending on your answer, you may find yourself without a planet, or even worse, your little simian will pay the price."
"Why should I do anything for you 2?" King Kai asked defiantly. "I know who you both are, what you both are, Saiyans! I only need to see the tails to know what you are!"
"Oh, is that right?" Akio asked with a smirk. "Well, if you know who and what we are, you know why we're here. You see, 2 other Saiyans are on the way to Earth now, and we want you to teach us whatever useful techniques you have. If there are any."
"No! I won't train someone like you or her, princess Akio! Your heart is so full of darkness, you're not worthy of my training!" King Kai refused.
But Fasha grinned evilly and said to him. "Our hearts are full of darkness, Kai, we won't deny that. But, unlike Frieza and his family, while we embrace our inner darkness, we don't let it consume us like they did."
"Indeed. While I am an insane, psychotic, ruthless and bloodthirsty Saiyan princess, I don't rule the Earth like a typical tyrant. I unofficially rule them in a…benevolent type way…by allowing them the freedom to live out their lives…while I have control of Capsule Corporation and let them have their freedom as well, provided they complete projects that serve my livelihood... and secretly protect the planet and the earthlings." Akio added after her mate.
"For your own reasons, not to protect anyone!" King Kai countered.
"Indeed. But, I only hurt and slaughter people that deserve it, or when they try to take what's mine or what I make mine. And I plan to rule the entire universe that way, while sharing my power with my fellow Saiyans, including Piccolo. I have a vision for the future of this universe, 1 where it can thrive, flourish and evolve under the protection of the Saiyans, and I won't rest until it's made a reality. But…you could have a small part to play in that, Kai, provided you train me and my Fasha."
"And what does the universe get out of your vision?" King Kai asked.
"Oh, just their dream of not being ruled by Frieza and his family any longer, as well as the privilege of evolving, come true, under the eyes of the mightiest warrior race in the galaxy." Fasha smirked.
"Oh yeah? And what about me?!"
"The more pressing question is: How about you just settle for you and your little pet not… BEING TORTURED FOR REST OF ETERNITY IF YOU DON'T?!" Akio yelled out while grabbing King Kai by the neck with her tail and choking him.
"Aaagg…you and…Fasha…really…drive a…hard bargain!" King Kai said before Akio released him before he coughed out and gasped to catch his breath and then got back up. "But 1st, I need to find out exactly how long it'll take them to reach planet earth."
"Then do it." Fasha told him.
King Kai then moved his antennae from front of his head and used his powers to see exactly where the 2 other Saiyans were in the universe and quickly found them. "I've found them. Yes, and I'm afraid they don't come any stronger than those particular 2."
"No shit, Kai, considering that 1 of them is my eldest brother and, besides myself, is the last living member of the royal bloodline." Akio said with annoyance.
"WHAT?! You…you're…a member of the royal bloodline of the Vegeta clan?!" King Kai asked with shock.
"Wouldn't her appearance be a dead giveaway, you annoying fool? Or have you not been paying much attention to the North part of the universe, specifically the planet Earth? Pathetic excuse of a god." Fasha smirked. "But anyway, how much longer until they arrive on the Earth?!"
"Well, by my calculations, they should arrive on Earth in approximately…88 days."
"Then I strongly demand you begin training us…NOW!" Akio told him while inches from his face.
"Well, normally, I'd let someone train with me…if they make me laugh." King Kai said.
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR NONSENSE, KAI, WE'VE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME GETTING HERE ALREADY!" Fasha yelled out.
"Either you give us training that isn't stupid and foolish, or we'll have to settle for torturing you and your little simian pet for the rest of eternity." Akio added. "But 1st, we want something to eat. We haven't eaten since we left from Snake's palace. So…whip up a meal for us, and we may not kill you right now."
Fasha charged up an energy ball while grinning insanely. "Not that it really matters, as you'll just end up with a halo, and that means if we can't ensure my princess' vision for a greater universe, we'll just have to settle for making the entire Otherworld ours, especially your planet, Kai and you'll spend the rest of eternity wishing we would blast you into nothingness, assuming that's what'll happen if you die with a halo."
"O-okay. Okay, I'll do what you guys want. Just…don't do any of that." King Kai said before quickly going inside and cooking the Saiyans a decent enough meal. And after eating their food, he asked them. "Satisfied, Saiyans?"
"Not the tastiest meal I've ever had, but…decent enough." Akio said.
"Now, I believe it's time for us to begin our training, Kai." Fasha added. "And don't even think about training us to adjust to the gravity here. We know this planet has the same gravity as our home planet. And you know that we Saiyans have a sixth sense for battle. We can fight anywhere in the universe, because it's what we were born and bred for."
"Yeah, I know all about you Saiyans and your sixth sense for battle." King Kai said before signing. "I guess I'll have to teach you both the more serious things of my training. And besides, you both aren't giving me a choice."
"Damn right, Kai." Akio said. "But know this: the fight with my brother is going to be just a test for our eventual battle with Frieza and his thugs. Don't try holding anything back from us, because I know when someone is keeping secrets, and I despise secrets."
"Fine! But there is 1 thing you should know: my ultimate technique is called the Spirit Bomb, essentially, to use the Spirit Bomb, one must have a pure heart so they can manipulate and gather energy from all living things from whatever planet it's on, plants, water, animals and all other living beings, into 1 giant ball and potentially kill the person who the creator uses it on, otherwise the move can backfire and hurt or kill the user. him/herself. And you 2, being not completely pure of heart, definitely don't qualify for that technique."
Akio grabbed him by the throat and demanded. "You mean to tell me that a very useful technique like that can't be used by me?!"
"I…didn't say that…there wasn't a similar technique you…could use in the Spirit Bomb's place." King Kai said while holding Akio's wrist.
"Then tell her what it is, Kai!" Fasha demanded.
"It's called…the Sunset Bomb. It's basically the same technique as the Spirit Bomb, but doesn't have the same restriction of it. But…depending on the size of the planet or the entire solar system, if you choose to, it takes a huge amount of time to…gather the necessary energy…and leaves you wide open for your opponent to attack, and that makes it an extremely risky attack, as it will also greatly weaken or even kill the user if not used right."
Akio seemed pleased with that and threw King Kai down. "Then that's the technique I will be using. But know this: I'm renaming it the Royal Bomb. And I will find a way to form it without having to stand in 1 place. That is my promise, Kai."
"I don't doubt that, Saiyan." King Kai said while dusting himself off.
"But is there a technique you have that doesn't require standing still and is excellent for melee combat and increasing someone's fighting abilities to far greater heights?! And I do mean…all of them." Fasha asked.
"Yes, I do have 1. But, I strongly recommend you increase your base power before you learn it. It'll increase your power even further if you do." King Kai answered.
"Then we will, once you tell us what the technique is, Kai." Akio told him.
"It's…sort of like a transformation into a super version of yourselves. It's called the Kaio-Ken, basically a multiplayer of the user's base power. There's no change to the user's physique, but the enormous stress of the technique can result in increased blood pressure, popping out veins and swelling the user's muscle mass. The technique can also generate large amounts of heat from the user's body whilst being activated that makes steam rise from their body. It's like a massive upsurge of energy. Everything is heightened: power, speed, even hearing and vision improve dramatically. But, like the Spirit of Sunset Bombs, it comes at a very high risk of destroying the user's body if used for too long or in a weakened state."
The 2 Saiyan princesses were listening very carefully and thought that this Kaio-Ken could be extremely useful to them, especially if Piccolo and Raditz had it as well. And it could mean they could have a very powerful technique that they could make drastic improvements to…if it was used and improved frequently.
And so, with an insane grin, Akio told him. "Then those 2 techniques will be what you teach us, but I will be the 1 who learns the Royal Bomb. And we will also claim ownership of them, along with Piccolo and Raditz once we teach the Kaio-Ken to them as well. Is that understood, Kai?"
"Yes." King Kai said reluctantly.
"Excellent. Now, if you don't mind, begin our training." Fasha demanded.
Meanwhile, with Piccolo and Raditz
The Namekian warrior and the long haired Saiyan were sparring very intensely, landing very hard punches and kicks, as well as ki blasts on each other, though Raditz was trying to be very careful not to awaken Piccolo's berserker rage again due to how potentially dangerous it could be to him and to Piccolo himself if he was pushed too far. While he didn't know what caused his change the night he fought him for real, he had a theory that mental, and most importantly, physical pain were the triggers. And because of that theory, he did fight Piccolo at full strength, but always stopped once Piccolo showed signs of his berserker rage coming out.
But that didn't stop Piccolo from always telling Raditz to use his full power against him when they trained together, which had become constant and had increased their abilities to greater levels than before. And after it was nighttime, they talked a bit about Akio's time on Earth. "So, Piccolo, I know those Earthling fools told me and Fasha some of the things that Akio's done since on this planet from their perspective, but what about yours?"
"Well, Akio lived in the wilderness for the 1st years of her life…practically living off the land while training her tail and her Great Ape form, which she did after 2 years. During that time, she found the 4 star dragon ball and decided to keep it. But she was unaware of its true purpose or the existence of the other 6. She explored the Earth for a few years after that but chose not to interact with the earthlings…until the 1 named Bulma showed up on her turf in search of Akio's dragon ball. And after a little…'persuasion', Bulma told her about the other dragon balls and their power. And that's when Akio decided to go with Bulma to speed up the search, for the sake of getting a wish, of course. And after many…adventures across the world, during which she slaughtered an occultist army who wanted dominance over this planet, their commander, being last, got the worst of it by being butchered alive, and finding out about an event called the world martial arts tournament, circumstances led her to my father and eventually my birth, and…I believe you get the picture."
"I do. But…even though I always knew, being of the royal bloodline, she'd want some kind of control of this backwards planet, I never imagined the environment she grew up in would have ended up driving her psychopathic and insane." Raditz admitted. "But, being the daughter of King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot, that kind of insanity would have gotten passed on to her, though her father and other ancestors were as insane as her, I don't think."
"Perhaps. But I wouldn't have her any other way, Raditz. Her insanity has struck fear into the hearts of many earthlings, the same way my father did long ago. Isn't that what Saiyans have always done: striking fear throughout the universe ever since they got into the pirate business through their partnership with the Arcosians so very long ago?"
Raditz smirked. "I see you've done your homework, Piccolo. Or did Akio tell you everything about our history?"
"The latter. Though she did show me the archives installed in her pod. They were…quite intriguing." Piccolo answered with a grin. "Especially after the old Saiyans…disposed of the Arcosians after Akio's mother and father decreed that the Saiyan race become mercenaries for hire for refugees without a planet decent enough to live on."
"Hahaha. Indeed. It was very…liberating." Raditz said with a smirk.
A couple of days later at King Kai's planet
Akio and Fasha were progressing exceptionally in their training for the last few days, pushing each other nearly to death but got healed right after by King Kai. And 1 day, when they ate dinner, he offered to tell them about their Saiyan ancestors. "Would…you both like me to tell you…about your ancestors?"
Akio thought she and Fasha could use something to pass the time while they ate, but she didn't want this weakling Kai to do it, so she looked at Fasha. "How about you tell me about the beginnings of our race, my dear Fasha?"
Fasha smiled at her dear Akio and began to tell her about the beginnings of the Saiyan race. "Well, my dear, sweet Akio, as you already know from what the holographic images of your father and mother told you: we Saiyans came from a planet called Sadala. And as you probably already know, we Saiyans were born with 1 desire above all else: the desire to fight. But an internal conflict between a faction of so-called pure hearted Saiyans who thought as those weak earthling warriors do, and the dominant part of our race, the evil ones, wreaked havoc across our planet, with something from the legends and myths called a Super Saiyan and a Super Saiyan God, gaining the upper hand against the evil Saiyans. But while their powers far exceeded any normal Saiyan, the Super Saiyan God disappeared somehow, while the Super Saiyan, whose power was unrivaled after the god disappeared, could only maintain his power in the transformed state. His power was extraordinary that he had no equal in the universe. But, unlike us, he was far too primitive to control it. His rage burned so intensely that it eventually consumed him, and in the end, he was destroyed by his own power, leading to our original home planet being destroyed."
"If that's true, how did the remaining Saiyans who survived the civil war get off Sadala before it was destroyed?" Akio asked, curious about what the more primitive Saiyans did to get off the planet before it was destroyed by the civil war. "And from what I was told, the Super Saiyan and the Super Saiyan God appeared to be only myths, just a children's fairy tale for little Saiyan children like the ones in yours and my generation of children, and nothing more."
"Perhaps they were just myths and legends spread around by our ancestors, but that didn't stop Frieza from doing what we've long suspected he did for years, Akio. In fact, it wouldn't have surprised me if he did because he was so paranoid and afraid by those myths and legends becoming a reality and wanted to stop that from happening by any means necessary, especially the only he knew how and even favored."
Akio knew that made sense, as the archives in Akio's pod told her everything the Saiyans all the way from King Vegeta the 2nd's time knew about the Cold family and their empire. "It wouldn't really surprise me either, Fasha. Once I read everything about Frieza and his family and brainless minions, it didn't take long for me to put 2 and 2 together."
Fasha smiled before continuing her tale. "Well, By unknown means, the primitive Saiyans either acquired or possibly built many spaceships which brought them to the home planet of a technologically advanced race called the Tuffles: planet Plant. The Tuffles had used their technological skills to construct and live in great cities. However, our Saiyan ancestors on the other hand, lived in small primitive villages in the outskirts and badlands of Plant. And although they shared the same planet, our 2 races rarely confronted each other and stayed relatively peaceful for many years. However, after a while, we Saiyans began to grow tired of living in filthy primitive villages, as well as allegedly being treated like slaves, from what you're grandfather, king Vegeta the 2nd kept telling the later generations, and so it was devised by King Vegeta the 1st, that they started a great war for the planet against the Tuffles. So, with great King Vegeta the 1st leading them, the primitive Saiyans, using their great power and brute strength, attacked the Tuffles. And although physically the Tuffles were much weaker and smaller than us, they had advanced weaponry and technologies at their disposal. As the war waged on, both our race and the Tuffles each won their fair share of battles, and for the next ten years, the war waged on."
Akio smirked, as the stories she'd been told from the holographic images of her father and mother, were all true. But she still wanted to hear the rest. "Go on, my love."
Fasha smiled. "As the war continued with no end in sight, something occurred that brought the conflict to a quick and violent end. When a full moon appeared on Planet Plant, something that only happened once every seven to eight years, our ancestors transformed into Great Apes. The transformation greatly increased their power, and within a few short hours, they completely annihilated the Tuffles from the face of the planet, thus ending the great war. And after it was finally over, we Saiyans claimed the planet as our own, and it was renamed Planet Vegeta, in honor of King Vegeta the 1st."
"So, the stories the holographic images of my father and mother told me were all true." Akio said with delight. "But regardless of how the great war between our ancestors and the Tuffles started, or which side started it, 1 side of both, nothing can ever change what happened or the outcome of it, not even dragon balls."
"Plus, we were born a few generations later, so I guess the exact details of which side started the great war don't matter anymore, it just leads us back to the present." Fasha said before they took a sip of their drinks. "But then, as our ancestors rebuilt the cities and constructed our own empire, a new problem began for our ancestors: without the technology of the Tuffles, our race couldn't travel through the unknown parts of the universe, which meant we couldn't satisfy the desire we all shared: the desire to fight with powerful opponents, except for our own kind. But, with as much of the surviving technology as they could find, they eventually built a spaceship and visited a not far away planet called Arcose, home of the Arcosian race. The Arcosians had great wealth and technology and, as we found out soon after that, were members of the Frieza Force. However, their planet was not suitable, so they hired our ancestors to attack and take over a new one for them in exchange for money and technology, which they did and soon after that, our 2 races formed a partnership and with the might of our race combined with the Arcosians' ingenuity, we formed a fleet of galactic pirates, and eventually, when their usefulness ran its course, our ancestors wiped out the Arcosians and took their fortunes and technology for ourselves, and for many years, we conquered planets across the universe and sold them to whoever the highest bidder would be. But, unfortunately, in the time of your grandfather, King Vegeta the 2nd, it drew the attention of King Cold and he annexed our planet and forcefully drafted all of the Saiyans into his army. He forced our people into servitude and slavery while reaping the benefits of our work until he eventually retired and gave his empire to his son Frieza…and the rest I think you know already, my precious Akio."
"Indeed I do, my sweet Fasha. But, as much as I still greatly admire my family bloodline, the choices our ancestors made was what inevitably brought our race towards the brink of extinction." Akio said with a crazed grin. "My mother had the right idea about how our race should have lived, and I think it's time that I continue that line of work. Just like you and Raditz did during those last 20 years. But only after Frieza and his family and their entire empire are nothing but ashes that blow across the entire universe, and from those ashes, a new, far more benevolent empire ruled by the last remaining Saiyans alive, will rise to take its place. An empire that allows every living species in the galaxy freedom…under the everlasting protection of the Saiyans!"
"And what about your brother, Akio?" Fasha asked.
"Well, if he doesn't share my vision for the future of the universe, either he stays on my terms, or he'll live the rest of his simi-immortal life in exile, or die if he won't cooperate with us." Akio answered. "He holds on to the old ways of our race and as such, he's unfit to lead our race. I, on the other hand, have embraced my mother's way of thinking, while also keeping a few of our ancient traditions alive. Under our influence, my dear Fasha, the Saiyan race, as well as the entire universe, will thrive and flourish as it once did before King Cold enslaved us and them. And I won't rest until that future becomes a reality."
Fasha leaned in and passionately kissed her precious Akio. "And I will be right beside you to ensure that your vision becomes a reality, my precious Akio." Before they went outside and continued their training with King Kai, who began teaching them the Kaio-Ken and Akio the Royal Bomb.
A few weeks later, on Kami's Lookout
"Gentleman, Mr. Popo and I are both pleased with the progress you've made here. Each of you has reached a new level of skill and technique, but now it's time for you to head back down to Earth and test your new strength and skills against a far stronger opponent. It will be the final step in your training." Kami said while congratulating the now much stronger earthling warriors. "May you fight with honor."
"Right." The earthling warriors said with respect for Kami and Popo.
"So, are you guys up for going through with the plan we had before we started training here?" Yamcha asked with eagerness.
"Definitely. Let's go find Piccolo and Raditz and show them we're not as weak as they think we are, and when we send those Saiyans packing, we'll get to show it to Akio and Fasha, too!" Krillin said with equal confidence.
"That's a good idea." Chiaotzu said with a smile.
Tien was much more eager to test his new strength against Raditz and Piccolo, as they'd be the perfect test for when he faced Akio in battle again. 'Akio, I hope your training with Fasha is going well, because you're both going to need it.'
A few days later, with Piccolo and Raditz
The 2 warriors were taking a break from a sparring session that left them on the brink before they healed using senzu beans. And after having a meal of fried fish from the river, they were ready to continue their training when they both sensed something. "Piccolo, do you feel that?"
"Yeah. The other Saiyans obviously aren't here yet, but I sense 3 high power levels." Piccolo answered. "And they're close by as well but they feel like they just split up."
Raditz then realized who those powers belonged to. "Wait, I know who they are. That blue cat that I unwittingly saved said that her friend, um, Yamcha, I believe his name was, told me that once they finished training at your counterpart's Lookout, they'd come find us and test out their new strength." He said before grinning. "Hahahaha. Not that it'll make a difference in the fight against Vegeta and Nappa, if that's what their little test is for. Their power levels, while having increased, are still far too low to even match their current level."
But Piccolo had a good idea. "Still…if they wanna see how far out of their league they really are, I'll be more than happy to show them." He said while cracking his knuckles.
"Ahhh…excellent idea, Piccolo. Tell me, which 1 of those fools do you want to humiliate?" Raditz asked with eagerness.
"The little bold monk Krillin. You take the 1 with the scars Yamcha. He's the one who hangs around with that flying cat. Then, after we've taken them down, we'll meet back up and pay the 3 eyed earthling and his little psychic powered friend a visit."
"Excellent. See you then, Piccolo." Raditz said before flying off.
Piccolo grinned evilly and flew to Krillin's location, quickly finding him and landing in front of him, making him jump back in fear at the sight of him. "Hello, earthling."
"Whoa! P-Piccolo!" Krillin said with fear in his voice.
"Raditz and I sensed you and your other friends were a bit stronger than usual." Piccolo said while crossing his arms.
"Uh, y-yeah… I trained at Kami's place. Me and my friends." Krillin explained.
"I already knew that, little man, but even so, I hope your little cat friend gave you Raditz's message to stay out of the coming fight…unless you and they have a death wish." Piccolo grinned evilly.
That got Krillin a bit mad as he got into a fighting stance. "Why, you…!"
Piccolo, despite viewing this as a waste of time, got into a fighting stance as well. Krillin then rushed to Piccolo and tried to land multiple punches and kicks on him, with the Namekian noticing that his blows were coming at him much faster and stronger than they usually did until he got a few punches and kicks in on Piccolo, stunning him a bit before he grinned evilly and began to hit back, landing multiple hard blows on him until he kicked him away into a rock.
But Krillin got up and thought to himself. 'Well, I guess this'll be a really good time to test out my new technique.' Before he held his right arm up and created an energy disk that looked like a buzzsaw. "Get ready for this, Piccolo! DESTRUCTO DISK!" He yelled out before throwing the disk at Piccolo, who could instantly tell what kind of technique it was before he easily dodged it, making it fly past him before it cut through a big rock, cutting it in half lengthwise! "Damn, he dodged it! Guess he knew what kind of technique that was!" Krillin said before trying out an improved Kamehameha wave. "Well, here goes nothing! KAMEHAMEHA HAAAAA!" Before launching the blast at Piccolo, who grinned before he caught and deflected it! "What? No way! I put everything I had into that!"
Piccolo then teleported right in front of him, scaring Krillin before he landed a few hard punches and kicks on him for a few minutes until getting bored and kicking him into the ground. "Humh. Now you see just how far out of your league you are." He said with a grin before telling him. "Give up, little man, you're already beaten. Don't embarrass yourself more than you already have."
Krillin got to his feet while panting hard. "Man, you've gotten way stronger since you began training with Raditz."
"What'd you expect? But…you have improved somewhat. Be thankful for that. Still, if you don't wanna die a 2nd time, stay away from the coming battle." Piccolo warned him, though he didn't really care what Krillin and his bleeding-heart friends did. "And tell your friends to stay out of it as well when you see them again. This is my group's fight, not yours or any of your friends!"
"I-I'll…show you and your group of psychopaths! I'm a student of the great Master Roshi, just like my friends are! We'll all show you and your group that we can defend our own planet from scum like the Saiyans, with or without you and your group!"
"Hahahahahaha! You and your friends are more than welcome to try if you so desire it. But know this: if you do interfere with our coming battle, myself, nor Raditz, nor Akio or Fasha will not save you pathetic hero-playing fools!" Piccolo said darkly before flying off, leaving Krillin behind.
Meanwhile, with Raditz
The long haired Saiyan was looking for Yamcha and quickly found him. "There you are, fool." He said with a grin before he landed in front of the scared human. "So, the power that Piccolo and I sensed came from you and your friends after all."
"Nice to see you too, Raditz. I was half expecting Piccolo though." Yamcha greeted with contempt for Raditz despite his new perspective of his race.
"I assume your little cat friend gave you my massage?" Raditz asked while crossing his arms and moving his tail around.
"Yeah, she did. And guess what: me and my friends are gonna fight the other 2 Saiyans, with or without your help. But as a test, I'm gonna try out my moves on you!" Yamcha said with eagerness.
"Hahahahahaha! YOU want to fight ME? You're dumber than I thought you were, fool! You think just because you've increased your power level somewhat, you can take me on? You couldn't even take on Piccolo's counterpart when he was disguised as a human years ago! And last time I checked, even with your friends' help, you could even hurt Fasha and I when we 1st met!"
"Oh yeah?! Well, you're looking at the new-and-improved Yamcha, thanks to Kami." Yamcha said with confidence. "He says I gotta fight someone stronger than me now, and you're the perfect training dummy. I'm thinking I can even beat you now. And if I can beat you, I can finally beat Akio when she comes back! I'm not about to get left in hers and Piccolo's dust again! Buckle up, pal, cause you're in for a challenge!"
"Is that so?" Raditz asked tauntingly. "Well then, let's test that little theory of yours, fool! Come at me… if you dare! Just don't blame me if I kill you before the other Saiyans do! That is, unless this beating makes you and your friends heed my warning!"
Yamcha rushed at Raditz and began trying to land a few punches on him that he easily blocked and deflected, even his Wolf Fang Fist attack didn't didn't even land a hit on the long haired Saiyan. And when Raditz got bored of this pointless fight, he began going on the offensive, landing a few kicks and punches on the human that left bruises until Yamcha got free and charged up an Extra Large Spirit Ball and launched it at Raditz, who took a defensive stance before it hit! And when the smoke cleared, he looked for Yamcha and smirked when he sensed he was above him before he turned around and was hit by a Kamehameha wave that didn't do much damage, shocking Yamcha before Raditz teleported behind him and overhead smashed him to the ground hard!
And when Raditz landed in front of him while crossing his arms, Yamcha only asked himself. "Wh-What's going on? I should be better than this."
"Humh. Not too bright, are you, earthling?" Raditz asked with a smirk while waving his tail in his face. "Did you really think that Piccolo and I were just sitting around doing nothing while you and your friends were doing whatever you were doing? Train all you and your friends want, it'll never be enough to beat me, let alone even 1 member of my group!"
"D-Don't count us out just yet. We've got what it takes." Yamcha said with a glare.
"Hahahahahaha! Keep deluding yourself, fool! You and your friends should have taken mine and Fasha's offer when you had the chance, but now it's far too late to reconsider. And know this: if you and your friends don't want to die, stay away from the coming fight! This is our battle, our war, not yours or your friends!" Raditz warned him before flying off to meet back with Piccolo.
And it didn't take long for the 2 strongest warriors on Earth to meet back up again. "So, how'd it go with the scared human?" Piccolo asked.
"Well, despite that I acknowledge that his power has increased, he still couldn't really hurt me." Raditz answered with a smirk. "Ha. But what can I expect from someone who couldn't even beat your counterpart when he was disguised as a human?"
"Hahaha. I expected nothing less. And…it was good to put that little twerp in his place again, though I admit he was stronger than normal. But now, it's time for the 3 eyed earthling."
"Indeed." Raditz said before he and Piccolo sensed Tien's power level and quickly found him before flying to his location and landing in front of him and Chiaotzu.
"Piccolo. Raditz." Tien said with his usual glare.
"Fancy seeing you here, earthling. We already ran into your 2 other friends, and as you can see, they both didn't defeat us, despite having increased their strength." Raditz said with a smirk.
"And it looks like you knew exactly where we were…without 1 of those stupid eye gadgets. So I assume you've finally learned how to sense ki. It took you long enough." Piccolo added while he grinned evilly.
But Tien wasn't scared. "You both have quite the mouths on you. Don't think for a second that I've started trusting either of you after what you did to poor Hana. To me, you're still enemies. I'll defeat you both here and now if I must."
"Oh, is that right, 3 eyes?" Raditz asked with a grin. "Well, I hope you realized that what happened with the little earthling girl was because of yours and your friends' xenophobia."
"Still, you think you can beat Raditz and me?" Piccolo asked mockingly. "All right, we'll humor you. In fact, this is the perfect time for Raditz and I to showcase our own kind of teamwork."
"Don't get too cocky, Piccolo! I did train under Kami with my friends. He instructed us to come back down to Earth and polish our techniques by sparring with an even stronger opponent…and guess who came to mind?" Tien asked with a smirk before he got into a battle stance. "Let me show you how strong I've become."
"If you're at the same level or a little bit stronger than your friends, it won't end well for you." Raditz said while wrapping his tail around his waist.
But...we could use some entertainment." Piccolo said as he got into a battle stance. "But please…put up more of a fight than your friends did." He said with an insane grin.
Tien then rushed to both Piccolo and Raditz and they began using excellent teamwork against the 3 eyed warrior. But they found out that while they blocked his offensive punches and kicks, as well as deflecting his ki blasts, including his Tri-Beam Cannon, Tien was easily dodging their ki blasts, as well as barely some of their melee attacks. Chiaotzu even tried to paralyze them using his Paralysis power, but they didn't even feel it due to teaching each other how to easily break out of psychic holds. Piccolo and Raditz, after the Saiyan whacked Chiaotzu away with his tail, began using joint punches and kicks on Tien, beating him but not trying to kill him until they finished him with a weak combination of their Special Shine and Double Sunday blasts, sending him crashing to the ground!
After landing in front of him with their arms crossed, with Raditz unwrapping his tail from his waist, Tien got to his right knee and was panting hard, while Piccolo and Raditz smirked. "I admit you weren't half bad. You managed to dodge our ki blasts at least."
"But still, be grateful that we were holding back. The other Saiyans wouldn't have been so merciful to you or any of your friends." Raditz added.
"You scum. How…dare you?!" Tien said with anger. "You both may have the upper hand now, but…it won't be for long. I-I'm going to eventually defeat both of you…and eventually Akio."
"Humh. We'd like to see you try, 3 eyes." Piccolo said with an evil grin.
"But, as we told your other friends: do not interfere with our coming battle." Raditz warned him as Chiaotzu flew next to Tien. "Because we won't be the ones that save you."
"W-We'll show you! We'll show you both, and especially Akio and Fasha that my friends and I can defend our planet, with or without you and your group." Tien vowed.
"I highly doubt that. You and your friends will just be cannon fodder for the other 2 Saiyans." Raditz said with a grin.
"We warned your friends, and we'll warn you the same way: if you or they interfere or get in our way, we won't save you. Unless you or they have a death wish, stay as far away from the coming battle as possible." Piccolo added before he and Raditz flew off to resume their own training.
"I'm sorry, Tien." Chiaotzu said sadly. "If only I wasn't so small…"
But Tien assured his best friend. "Don't give up yet, Chiaotzu. We've still got a lot to do. We have to train hard and show everyone that we can beat the other 2 Saiyans and show them, and especially Akio and Piccolo, Fasha and Raditz that we're not to be taken lightly."
But Chiaotzu thought to himself, as there was only 1 thing he could do if his Paralysis technique wouldn't work on the other 2 Saiyans if it didn't even work on either Piccolo or Raditz, and he could only hope that it wouldn't be in vain. 'If my technique doesn't work against the other 2 Saiyans…then I've got no other choice.'
A few weeks later, back on King Kai's planet
Akio and Fasha were having a sparring match together, delivering fast and powerful punches and kicks, with both doing their best to deflect them and search for an opening to attack. Just then, both saw an opening and delivered a strong simultaneous punch on each other, sending each other flying backwards with Fasha almost hitting King Kai's car while Akio hit the tree, breaking it as it fell down!
The monkey Bubbles and the cricket Gregory, who they'd been introduced to a few weeks ago, and who Akio had almost eaten as a snack because of King Kai and the cricket being annoying, but was stopped by Fasha, who declared that he wasn't worth wasting their time with, looked in shock, while Bubbles grunted as the tree with all the delicious fruit was now gone.
Akio scoffed at the monkey. "Shut it, stupid little ape."
King Kai, who'd seen everything, shook his head in disapproval as he looked down at the now destroyed tree. "Now that's a pity. Such great fruit this one gave." But then he took something out of his pocket, showing it was a small seed. "Luckily I'm prepared in case someone would be stupid enough to destroy my fruit tree." Before he pointed his finger at the destroyed tree, firing a blue laser-beam, vaporizing it, leaving nothing but an empty hole. King Kai then walked over to the hole, put the seed in the ground and took a few steps back while he formed a smile. And in less than a minute, the seed fully grew to a big plant and eventually a fully grown new fruit tree.
Bubbles grunted with happiness and quickly climbed up the tree, taking some newly fresh fruit from it. "Ooh. Ohhh. Ohhh. Ahhh. Ahhh. Ahh."
"Now, that's better." King Kai said before he turned to face his 2 Saiyan students.
Fasha crossed her arms. "If you're waiting for an apology from us, think again, Kai."
King Kai however gave a simple shrug. "Oh, I wasn't expecting you two to apologize for the damage you've caused. Though you 2 are the rudest, unkind and craziest and downright insane students I've ever had in over a million years, I've had to face a lot worse than the both of you."
"Is that supposed to scare us?" Akio asked with a show of being unimpressed and crossed her arms.
King Kai however shook his head. "Nah, I think you both aren't the kind of people to be so easily convinced or scared. And frankly, I don't even care about that right now. All that I'm saying is that if you both wish to become strong enough to face those 2 Saiyans Nappa and Vegeta, your brother, Akio, then at least take my teachings seriously, otherwise Earth as you know it and perhaps the whole universe will be in danger." King Kai then sighed, but then formed another smile. "Which is why I made a few arrangements to show you both what's really at stake here. But I'm not going to be the one who will do that."
That got Akio and Fasha's attention. "And who would that person be, Kai? If it's a stronger opponent we have to face before our return to the living world, I'm all in for it." Akio said and finished by forming an insane grin on her face.
"And we do take training seriously…when it isn't something that is completely stupid and pointless." Fasha added after her mate and princess.
King Kai however shook his head. "I wouldn't exactly call them new opponents to face. More like a... family reunion, as you both might say." King Kai then turned and left, going back inside his home.
"What the fuck is he talking about?" Akio asked her lover. "'Family reunion'?"
Fasha shook her head. "No fucking clue, baby."
Then, while Bubbles wanted to take another piece of fruit, he saw something up in the sky, seeing it was coming closer down on King Kai's planet, seeing it were 4 figures having tales. The monkey grunted and quickly ran away.
Fasha and Akio glanced back, seeing to their surprise 4 Saiyans, having halos above their heads as they landed on the small planet's surface. Akio couldn't believe who she was seeing, as 2 of them were people she knew all too well, revealing to be her deceased parents: King Vegeta the 3rd and Queen Carrotalot. "Mother...? Father...?"
And to Fasha's shock, she saw 2 people she thought never to see; her own deceased parents, Cargot and Pyckla. "I... I can't believe it."
Both walked up to them and Fasha tried to hold herself, trying to still look tough, though it was hard as all she'd ever wanted was to just see her parents in the flesh.
Cargot stepped forward, putting his hand on her shoulder. "You sure are the spitting image of your mother." But then he chuckled and shrugged. "Well, except that you inherited my eyes and my good-hearted nature."
Pyckla annoyingly rolled her eyes in amusement and elbowed Cargot. "Pff! Show off. Even in death you never change." But then she glanced at her daughter, forming a sweet smile. "Hi, sweetheart."
Now, Fasha couldn't hold back her tears and hugged them both. "I've desired this moment for my entire life."
A tear fell from Pyckla's eye, saying softly. "Me too, sweetheart. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you as you grew up on your own. But... I'm so damn proud of you."
Akio however just stood there face to face with her parents, neither of them saying a word for some time, till King Vegeta spoke with a grin on his face. "My own daughter, a fully grown Saiyan Princess. You're truly honoring the Saiyan race by how strong you have become and how you're ruling the Earth in secret, as our family would've done too if we were in your shoes, Akio."
Akio gave her father a nod. "Thank you, father. Anything for the glory of the Saiyan race."
"Though, we never would have imagined that the loss of us, our planet and almost our entire race, as well as the environment you had to grow up in would have made you as…insane as you are now, my dearest Akio." Queen Carrotalot said with sadness for her daughter's insanity.
But Akio grinned with insanity as she assured her mother. "On the contrary, mother. I love being an insane, bloodthirsty, savage, sadistic, merciless, psychopath, while being smart enough to know that I am and admit it. Though I think part of it was genetic from you and father, I welcomed and embraced my insanity. It was always inside me. The loss I felt for losing our planet and our race just gave me the final push necessary to release it. It's because of my insanity, along with the teachings of both you and Fasha, that I survived and lived on for as long as I did. After all, isn't that what you sent me to Earth as an infant for, to survive and live on to become stronger?"
The royal Saiyan parents couldn't deny it. "Yes, it was."
Akio smiled and then told them both. "But all the same, mother and father, I thank you both for all the training simulations that you gave to me when you sent me to Earth as a baby to protect me from Frieza. Your training taught me much and has served me well, and I thank you also for choosing Fasha as my teacher."
Fasha held her hand and said while their tails slowly wrapped around each other's. "And also... your partner… lover…and eternal mate."
Carrotalot gave them an approving nod. "Yes. You're perfect together."
King Vegeta then added. "If circumstances had been different and our race wasn't wiped out by Frieza all those years ago, I would've been proud to call you my daughter-in-law, Fasha."
Pyckla nodded, same with Cargot. "And we couldn't have asked for a better partner and lover for our daughter, Akio. And we too would've been proud to call you our daughter-in-law."
Both gave them a nod, being happy deep down that Akio and Fasha's parents all gave them their blessings. But then Akio wandered and asked them. "But... how did you all know that we were here training on King Kai's planet? And I thought... considering all the bad shit we did for Frieza and his father for all these years, that none of you would ever be at this place, but in Hell?"
King Vegeta understood his daughter's confusion and stated as he patted Cargot's back. "You have him to thank for me and Carrotalot no longer being in Hell, and also thanks to our friend, Gine."
"Gine?" Fasha asked. "Bardock's wife and former member of our old crew?"
Cargot then stated. "Yeah. Despite what most of our people did, me and Gine were surprisingly the very few ones that were allowed to go to Heaven instead of Hell." Before he formed a smile at Pyckla. "But... when I heard that your mother died after giving birth to you and was sent to Hell by that fool King Yamma despite her not being all that bad, I demanded King Yamma to reconsider and allow Pyckla to be in Heaven. At first he wouldn't budge, but after some thinking, he reconsidered his decision, but only after I did some jobs and a few tests for him." But thinking back of all the tests he had to do for King Yamma annoyed him a lot. "I had to do that piece of shit's bidding for years. But finally, after 4 years, I'd completed the final test for him and he finally allowed Pyckla to join me in Heaven." Before he and Pyckla held hands while their own tails intertwined.
Hearing all this, made Fasha proud of her father. Despite the fact that he wasn't as strong as all the other Saiyans, he was willing to do anything, even fight to be with the woman of his life again.
But then Akio asked her parents. "So, I guess that Gine had done the same kind of tests and doing Yamma's bidding for years, but had a harder time to do them because she wasn't a fighter like most of the other Saiyans, and also was trying to free both her husband Bardock but also you guys from Hell?"
Carrotalot nodded. "Yes. Gine had a far harder time doing Yamma's bidding to free me, Bardock and Vegeta from Hell, and also Bardock's crew; Tora, Borgos and Shugesh."
That surprised Akio. "She even did more tests so she too could free Bardock's own crew from Hell?" And made her form an impressed grin. "She sure has a strong spirit despite being physically not strong."
King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot then frowned and told their daughter. "Akio, we know who you and Fasha have trained to fight: the former general Nappa…and your brother."
"And we know why your brother is coming to your claimed planet: he wants to use the things that the guardian of Earth, Kami created: the…dragon balls to wish for immortality. Complete physical immortality." King Vegeta said before he scoffed. "The fool. He disgraces the Saiyan race by wanting such a wish. Immortality in the living world is no blessing, it's the desire of the greatest of cowards…and a curse. He disgusts me with that kind of arrogance and his lack of what true Saiyan pride really is."
"Indeed. Not like the wish you made some time ago, my dearest Akio." Queen Carrotalot said with a smile. "But if immortality is what your brother is after, then he's gone insane to want to bestow a curse like that upon himself."
"Wish? You…already made a wish, Akio?" Fasha asked with a raised eyebrow.
Akio smiled at her mate and intertwined their tails. "Indeed, my dear Fasha. 2 years ago…I wished for myself, Piccolo, and any Saiyan that was still alive out there in the universe…to have the blessing of…eternal youth and…the ability to survive anywhere in the universe without the need for oxygen."
Fasha was astonished at hearing that from her Akio. But then she remembered something that happened to her, Raditz and even Vegeta and Nappa 2 years ago, and realized exactly what it was. "Those green beams that hit me, Raditz and those other 2, that…was you…making your wish, wasn't it, Akio?" She asked, getting a nod from Akio to confirm it. "But…why didn't you use them to revive planet Vegeta and our race?"
Akio answered with a very rare look of sadness. "Because…it wasn't until later that I learned from that weakling Kami that…those wish orbs have limitations. He told me that…because the dragon balls can only bring back a group of people that have been within a year after they've died. The dragon balls can revive a large number of people who haven't died by natural causes, but only for those who died within a year after. But…anyone who dies pyar to that…can never be wished back. And our race has been dead for 2 decades."
"But…don't you think he was lying about that?" Fasha asked, thinking that Kami may have lied to spite Akio.
"No, he didn't lie. He was telling the truth. I've trained myself to suspect or know when someone is lying or feeding me half truths or keeping secrets. And…there was no lie in the old man's eyes or his voice. He is an old fool at times, but he is at least honest." Akio explained. "But I always knew that there may be other Saiyans that survived out in the universe. That's why I wished for any Saiyans still alive to share the gifts that those orbs granted Piccolo and me."
King Vegeta smiled at his daughter. "And you made the right decision, my daughter. You found a middle ground between making sure that the Saiyans would live on, through you and any others that would have those 2 gifts, while at the same time, ensuring that you would not be a coward like so many other beings in the universe that fear death and welcome its embrace."
"And also, as it is a vital quality of all Saiyans, my remarkable Akio, you fear nothing. Not pain, nor death or eternal nothingness. And despite your insanity being the main part of it, it makes us so very proud of you." Queen Carrotalot said proudly to her daughter.
Akio smiled at that, as she'd often wondered if her parents would be proud of what she'd managed to accomplish in her lifetime. "Thank you, mother." She said with a smile before frowning. "It's too bad my brother can't say the same thing, as unlike myself, he's intending to take the cowardly route and cripple the 1 thing that we Saiyans view as our greatest gift: our Zenkai boosts." Akio said with contempt for her brother and his insane plan. "But mark my words: Fasha and I, along with our 2 comrades on Earth, Raditz and Piccolo, will stop him. I will never allow my brother to disgrace our race's name anymore than it already is by using my dragon balls to become immortal. And I'll also teach him a lesson he'll never forget…and I will be the 1 to rule the universe, the way I rule the Earth, and become Queen of all Saiyans and empress of the entire universe, while sharing my power with any Saiyans, Piccolo included, loyal to me, especially Fasha…when I make her my wife."
Surprisingly, King Vegeta and Carrotalot actually agreed with their daughter. "Akio…you are as ambitious as we were in our lifetimes. And we…encourage you to see your vision become a reality." King Vegeta said with a proud smile.
That surprised Akio and Fasha. "You…want my Akio to replace Vegeta as the ruler of the universe?"
Queen Carrotalot smiled. "Of course, Fasha. Our remarkable Akio and you would make far better rulers than our son could ever be. Frieza's corrupt influence has poisoned his mind and unlike Akio, he has held onto the old traditions of our race that made us feared and hated throughout the universe by everyone in it, even among our own kind, as a child when our planet and race was still alive. Therefore, he truly lacks the qualities needed to be King of all Saiyans."
"Then I vow, as princess of the Saiyan race, to stop my brother's ambitions, and him, as the 1st part of my ultimate goal for the universe. The Saiyans will be known throughout the galaxy once again, but not as its conquerors, as its secret, unofficial rulers and protectors. Our ancestors went about their plans for the universe the wrong way after the great war against the Tuffles, and it was their completely evil ways that caused the civil war amongst ourselves and destroyed our original home planet Sadala in the 1st place. And it eventually drew Cold and his family to us and he annexed our planet and forcefully drafted our race into his army. And in the end, it was their own kind of evil, as well as Frieza himself that wiped out nearly all of our kind. As I've learned in my lifetime, a typical tyrant's ways either gets them imprisoned or wiped out with all their kind. With their evil ways and what they did to the universe for generations, it was…inevitable. But my way of ruling has allowed me to thrive for 20 plus years, and I intend to make sure our race thrives as I have for eternity."
Queen Carrotalot smiled at her daughter's determination to see her vision for the future of the galaxy become a reality. "Then…we'll hold you to that vow, my dearest Akio." She said as she shared a hug with her daughter that was long overdue, along with King Vegeta.
Akio had never received this kind of affection, aside from mating with Fasha, before in her entire life, for reasons she obviously knew and really didn't care about anyway. But this coming from her mother and father, despite being Saiyans and that her race wasn't exactly known for showing affection for even their own children, strangely felt right to her and she returned the embrace. "I don't really know what sort of thing this is, but it coming from both of you…feels right."
King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot smiled at their daughter as the king softly said. "We only wish your mother and I could have held you in our arms whatever it was time for you to come out of your nursing capsule, my daughter."
"Indeed. It's always saddened me that we couldn't live to see you grow up into the strong and beautiful warrior you are today, but we're so happy that you adapted well to the environment in the Earth wilderness for the 1st years of your life. And it's good that you managed to trust at least 1 of those Earthlings, the smartest 1 on that planet." Queen Carrotalot added.
"Believe me, mother, that earthling Bulma does hate me…for reasons I know but don't give a shit about. But regardless, I did manage to eventually trust her, even as I took control of her father's company and their people, as they are the smartest people on that planet who specialize in making advancements in whatever technology they can, provided they build machines that suit and satisfy my livelihood." Akio explained with a smirk.
Pyckla smiled at the mate of her daughter. "And we know that our precious Fasha did what we couldn't, princess: start a resistance movement against the Frieza Force. Which you and your brother-in-arms Piccolo decided to join."
"Indeed, Pyckla. He really became the only warrior worthy of my comradeship. His powers are similar to our race. Very impressive…for a demon." Akio said with a smirk.
"Actually, Princess Akio, he's not a demon. He's not even from the Earth." Cargot explained.
"What? What do you mean, Cargot? Are you saying that…Piccolo's an alien?" Akio asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Akio, he is an alien." Queen Carrotalot explained. "But I don't think even he or his counterpart knew about their origins, as he must have somehow lost his memory by unknown means."
After thinking about it, it made sense to Akio, as it explained why Piccolo had similar powers to hers and even his psychical looks were more alien than demon. But then she looked at Fasha. "Fasha, did you know that Piccolo was an alien?"
Fasha looked down in shame at keeping something like this from Akio, knowing that she despises secrets, half truths and lies. So she answered. "Yes, Akio. Raditz and I both knew that Piccolo was an alien and we knew exactly what race he was just by looking at him for the 1st time. The race he comes from is the Namekian race. They're known for having above average power levels and some mysterious hidden abilities as well, as well as some…magic tricks only they know how to use. But…we didn't even know why he was on Earth and…we didn't want to add more confusion before we got our official business out of the way 1st. But I assure you, my love that we would have told you both…after we fought each other. But with Piccolo accidently killing us, and everything you and I have been doing here, there…wasn't a better time."
Akio, despite hating half truths, lies and secrets, did understand that, so she smiled at Fasha and drew her in for a passionate kiss that lasted for a minute before they separated with a smile. "I'll forgive you for keeping that a secret from me just this once, Fasha…as long as you don't hold back any more information and keep any more secrets from me."
Fasha smiled and assured her precious Akio. "I promise, my sweet Akio. And I promise to tell Piccolo all about his origins, if Raditz hasn't already. And after your brother is dealt with, we'll travel to his home planet Namek to show it to you and him. Who knows. Maybe he'll regain a few memories of his time there. That is, unless he was on Earth at a very young age and can't remember. But regardless, I promise he'll get to see his home and his people."
Akio smiled and kissed Fasha again. "I'll hold you to that, my dear Fasha. But 1st…we deal with my brother and his brainless brute. Which means we must resume our training."
Cargot and Pyckla smiled, but wanted to give their daughter a parting gift. "Fasha, sweetheart. I'm afraid we'll have to go now. But we'll give our baby a great parting gift."
Fasha looked a bit sad that her parents had to go, as she really wanted to know them better. "Do you…really have to go?"
"Yes, we do, dearest girl." Pyckla answered sadly. "But as our parting gift, you may have a match with us." She said while she and her mate fired up their auras. "Come, Fasha! Show us the strong and beautiful warrior you've become." Before Fasha smirked, with her tail twitching in eagerness as she fired up her pink aura and engaged her parents in a fight, as she'd always dreamed of in her lifetime.
Akio looked at her parents and grinned with insanity. "So, father and mother, will you grant me the gift of having a match with you, as a parting gift?" She asked while firing up her aura and waving her tail around with eagerness.
King Vegeta and Queen Carrotalot smiled and took battle stances as well before firing up their auras as well while wrapping their tails around their waists. "Indeed we will, dearest Akio. I've dreamt of this ever since I laid eyes on you after your birth." Queen Carrotalot said with eagerness to face her daughter.
"Come, Akio! Show us the warrior you've become over the years and show that you're truly worthy of the title as princess of all Saiyans!" King Vegeta added before he and his wife engaged Akio in combat!
And to the 4 older Saiyans' surprise, their respective daughters were holding their own against them, while also surprising them with their skills and techniques, as some of them surpassed even what they had during their time in the mortal realm, with Akio's basic melee combat skills far surpassing theirs, as Earth's fighters had quite impressive martial arts skills, and it seemed like she'd created a martial arts form of her own. And to top it off, her blasting skills were even greater than theirs, especially her ultimate signature technique: the Galick Kamehameha, which was her own made version of the Galick Gun…as well as her Galick Kamehameha Cannon. And when it was over, despite them being skilled in their own right and getting in a few hits and blasts in on her, Akio's skill and technique had won her the match.
And it was the same way with Fasha, as her parents were skilled, especially when working together, her skills had surpassed her parents due to her years of learning new techniques her parents never knew about, especially her Hunting Arrow blast and her melee attacks had long adapted well to Akio's due to training with her here on this planet and their fight on Earth. And during her training here, she'd absorbed some of her mate's martial arts skills into her own basic style of fighting but kept some of her own skills and her energy attacks had been modified in ways that none of the Saiyan before her knew in their lifetimes. It seemed like Queen Carrotalot was right to promote her to a Saiyan Elite and be Akio's teacher as the princess grew up. And in the end, their daughter had beaten her parents quite easily but didn't have to worry about killing them, as they were already dead.
And when they recovered enough to stand up, they were panting a lot. "Wow. It's amazing. They both defeated all 4 of us, your majesties." Pyckla said while being held by Cargot.
"Yes. Their power and skill have far surpassed even ours." King Vegeta said with pride and admiration for both his daughter and future daughter in law.
"Indeed, my love. But…I have never been as proud of our daughter as I am now. For her skills and power to be that much greater than even ours…is a true blessing." Queen Carrotalot said with happiness.
Cargot was happy as well, as despite still being a low level with the same power level he had in life, he was glad that Fasha was his daughter. "She may have my eyes and maternal nature, Pyckla, but everything else she inherited came from you, especially her fighting spirit. But her power and skill… she achieved them both through her hard work and determination. And for that, I've never been prouder to be her father."
Akio and Fasha were both really happy in knowing that they'd made their respective parents very proud of them. And so, they walked up to them and shared a group hug with them, even though Akio still found it a bit strange. Clearly some Earth ways of affection had rubbed off on her. And when they separated, Akio bid her parents goodbye. "Goodbye, father and mother. I will stop my brother's ambitions and eventually…Frieza, his family and their minions, along with their entire empire will all die by the hands of the Saiyans. Our people will be avenged, along with all 4 of you, and Bardock and Gine. That is my promise."
"But I have a request." Fasha said. "Tell Bardock and Gine that…Raditz loves them both and that he wishes that they could've seen him grow as a warrior."
"We'll be sure to give them his love, sweet Fasha. We promise." Pyckla said with a smile. "And we'll give them, and your crew yours as well."
"But know this: our spirits will always be with you, along with Raditz and even Piccolo….in wherever your paths may lead you all." King Vegeta said with a proud smile.
"And know that this isn't goodbye, my remarkable Akio. We will see each other again." Queen Carrotalot added after her husband as they began to fly away from the planet.
"We'll see you again as well, dearest Fasha. But until then, we'll always be with you, as we've been throughout your entire life." Cargot said to his daughter.
"Take care of each other and everyone you care for, my dearest princess Fasha, especially Raditz and your dear Akio. And know that we'll never leave you, no matter what realm you're in." Pyckla added after her dear Cargot as they followed their king and queen back to heaven, leaving their respective daughters behind as Akio and Fasha shed a tear of bittersweetness.
A few more weeks later
After mastering the Kaio-Ken, as well as Akio mastering her new Royal Bomb technique, they were finally ready to return to the living world. "Well, this is the last day I have to train you both, Saiyans. But if only we had enough time to hone your comedy skills, then you'd be all set. Hahahahahaha!" King Kai said with a laugh before seeing Akio and Fasha's very serious faces. "You 2 really have no sense of humor."
"Enough of your stupid, pathetic gibbering, Kai!" Akio told him. "Unless you prefer I eat your little insect alive."
"Hey!" Gregory said with a glare.
"How about we give your new Royal Bomb a test, my precious Akio?" Fasha asked while wrapping her tail around her mate's.
Akio liked that idea. "Excellent suggestion, my dear Fasha. And I know just what to test it on." Before gesturing to King Kai's car.
Fasha grinned evilly before walking up to the car and lifting it up, much to King Kai's confusion. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"QUIET, KAI!" Fasha yelled out before gesturing to Akio. "Anytime you're ready, my love."
"With pleasure." Akio said before holding her arms up and concentrating on gathering energy from every living thing on the small planet, which only took a few seconds, as the planet was very small. And after a red-orange aura formed around the Saiyan princess, she put it all into her right hand.
"Get ready, Akio!" Fasha yelled out with a crazed grin.
But King Kai protested. "HEY! NO! NOT MY CAR!" Before Fasha threw the car off the planet and after finding the right moment, Akio threw the Royal Bomb at the car before it hit, destroying it in a massive explosion that caused a big wind, making the new fruit tree fly off the planet, and King Kai, Bubbles and Gregory cover their eyes while Akio and Fasha eyed the explosion in insane delight.
And after the wind stopped, Fasha ran into Akio's arms and passionately kissed her as Akio spinned her around. "You are truly a great Saiyan warrior worthy of the Vegeta clan, my love. The way you used that Royal Bomb was astonishing!"
"Indeed, my sweet Fasha. That technique will be of great use to us in our future battles." Akio said with a crazy grin that Fasha loved so much. "But, I also must remember to use it only as a very last resort, and only once. Compared to this little spec of a planet, the Earth and everything and everyone on it, will have much more energy to draw from, especially when the sun is out, or when I draw energy from an entire solar system. But at the same time, I know it may be too much energy for even myself to control on my own. I may end up destroying the very planet I claimed as my own many years ago."
"That's right, Akio. But, with the Kaio-Ken, I doubt you'll even need to use it. At least not against you that brainless brute Nappa. Your brother, on the other hand, may be another matter." Fasha said with confidence in her princess. "But we'll see what happens in the next 24 hours, when they arrive on Earth."
But what Fasha just said got King Kai to break out of moping for his destroyed car to realize something critical. "AAAHH! OH, NO, I FORGOT HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU CRAZY FREAKS TO GET BACK TO EARTH!"
"What?! I thought you would just teleport us back there?!" Akio furiously asked, only for the Kai to shake his head in fear.
"GRAAAAA! DAMN YOU, YOU IDIOTIC SCUM!" Fasha yelled out in anger. "Just tell us how long it'll take us to go back through that snake road with our new speed!"
"Only…24 hours if you go all out!" King Kai answered while backing up. "And Kami will be there to take you the rest of the way!"
"Then can you at least get us in touch with Piccolo and Raditz?!" Akio demanded with a look that could kill.
"Y-y-y-yes, I can definitely do that. Just place a hand on me and think as hard as you can!" King Kai answered while sweating and turning around in the direction of the Earth.
Akio and Fasha did just that before thinking of Piccolo and Raditz. "Piccolo. Raditz. Can you hear us?"
"Raditz. Piccolo, it's us." Fasha added.
Meanwhile, on Earth
Piccolo and Raditz were in the middle of a meditation session when they heard the 2 voices they'd been wanting to hear for months, making them open their eyes in surprise. "Akio?"
"Fasha? Is-is that you?" Raditz asked with shock.
"Yes, Raditz. It's good to hear your voice again." Fasha said with the tone of a loving stepmom.
"Akio, I'm…so glad to hear your voice again. But where are you?" Piccolo asked with curiosity.
"There's no time for details, Piccolo. But we've completed our training and we need to be brought back to life right now. Do you have all the dragon balls?" Akio asked her brother-in-arms.
"Yes. I've had them in me ever since that day." Piccolo answered.
"But why do you both need to be brought back now?" Raditz asked before he realized why. "Wait. Vegeta and Nappa will arrive sooner than we thought, won't they?"
"Yes. Sometime tomorrow. And Akio and I won't be getting back until the day after." Fasha answered.
"But in the meantime, you both must hold them off however you can." Akio told them both. "We're counting on you to defend our territory."
"Then it shall be done, Akio." Piccolo assured her. "Don't worry. Raditz and I have increased our strength tenfold compared to 1 year ago."
"Indeed. They'll be in for a few surprises. Nappa may not be alive when you return, but we'll be sure that Vegeta is for when you both return." Raditz added. "He's long overdue for a reunion with you, Akio."
"And I look forward to it, Raditz. But…make sure those bleeding-heart fools get in the way. This is a battle between Saiyans vs. Saiyans! This is our fight, not theirs!" Akio said, not wanting the earthling warriors getting in the way.
"Don't worry about them, I'm sure they'll stay away after the beatings we gave them." Piccolo assured her.
"But if not, I'm sure that brainless brute Nappa will teach them a lesson in trying to play hero." Raditz added after his new comrade.
"Excellent. We look forward to seeing you both again." Akio said before breaking contact.
"It would seem I miscalculated the speed in which Vegeta and Nappa would be arriving here." Raditz said with a bit of anger at himself.
"Perhaps you did, Raditz, but remember, miscalculation or not, it was inevitable that they would get here." Piccolo assured his comrade before he uningested the capsules with the dragon balls and quickly got them out and dropped them on the ground before they began glowing. "Arise, dragon and grant our wish!"
And in a matter of minutes, the sky turned black and lightning began to strike. And in a burst of power, Shenron appeared before them. "You who have gathered the dragon balls, speak your desire and I will grant you any wish that is within my power!"
"Un-Unbelievabe! I could never have imagined such a creature could exist." Raditz said with magnificence at seeing the eternal dragon for the 1st time.
"Dragon, I wish for the 2 Saiyans Akio and Fasha to be brought back to life." Piccolo requested.
"Very well, it shall be done!" Shenron said before granting Piccolo's wish, bringing Akio and Fasha back from the dead.
Meanwhile, at Bulma and Chi-Chi's house
Little Hana, who was somewhat recovered from seeing the horrible things that the Saiyans were capable of, saw that the sky was black and lightning was striking from a window. "MOMMIES! MOMMIES!" She called out, making her mother's, who were preparing their little flower for her summer vacation at her grandparents' house, run up to her.
"What's the matter, honey?" Chi-Chi asked with concern.
But Bulma looked out the window and knew what was going on. "This isn't a storm, the dragon balls have been activated." She said before realizing what that meant. "That means Piccolo and Raditz are wishing Akio and Fasha back to life."
Chi-Chi then realized the other horrible reason for that. "But that means…either they wanna come back early or…the other 2 Saiyans are gonna get here sooner than Raditz said they would."
That realization made Bulma pick up little Hana. "Come on, sweetie, we're going to master Roshi's house, okay?"
"Okay, Mama." Hana said while nodding her head.
Meanwhile, back on King Kai's planet
Akio and Fasha saw their halos disappear and smirked. "At last, the princesses of all Saiyans have been brought back to life once again!" Akio said with pride.
"And now, let's head back to Earth. Your brother is in for a reunion that's long overdue." Fasha said with a smirk before sharing a passionate kiss with Akio.
Akio then fixed their clothing and armor with a power she'd been taught by Piccolo. "Indeed." Before looking at King Kai and his pets. "I hope I never have to come back here, Kai, because when I do…I might just kill you all." She said darkly.
"And by the way, Kai: teach your little pets to not draw attention to themselves that could get them killed, especially that little ape of yours." Fasha added before she and her mate ran to the Snake Way road and jumped towards it, but not before blasting King Kai's house as a parting gift.
"NO! NOT MY HOUSE TOO!" King Kai said with anger. "AAAHH! I oughta smack those monkey tailed-" He said before running to the fruit tree and kicking it but hurt his toes in the process. "OWWW…OHHHH!" He screamed as he held his foot while hopping around.
"Hahahaha. Hahahaha!" Akio laughed with insanity before thinking about the coming battle against her eldest brother. "Vegeta! I believe the time has at last come for a little family reunion. And trust me, it'll be a reunion you'll remember for the rest of your life!"
"And I believe that brainless brute Nappa's life has run its course. It's time for me to get some payback on him, for me and for Raditz! And believe me Nappa, when we're done with you, you'll be begging for the sweet release of death! Hahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!" Fasha added before she and her precious Akio began flying back to the check-in station at their full speed.
Meanwhile
Even as Akio and Fasha began their return along the million mile long Snake Way, elsewhere, the other Saiyans year long journey through space is nearing it end, as Vegeta and Nappa's pods had entered the Earth's solar system and had already passed by Jupiter and began their descent upon Akio's claimed planet Earth. And in 1 of the cities, as its people were enjoying their day, the 2 pods flew through 1 of the buildings and crashed in the city, creating 2 craters where they landed.
As the scared citizens gathered around the craters, talking almost themselves about what the 2 round objects were, the pods opened and Vegeta and Nappa stepped out and breathed a sigh of relief while Piccolo, Raditz and all the earthling warriors sensed their incredible power from miles away. Vegeta and Nappa flew out of their craters beside each other and grinned evilly, as they believed their evil intentions were within their grasp.
Meanwhile, with the Earthling warriors
"Whoa. Do you guys sense that?" Krillin asked his friends.
"Yeah. It's them. The other 2 Saiyans." Yamcha answered with a bit of fear.
"Tien, I'm scared." Chiaotzu said with fear in his voice.
"Damn it! They aren't supposed to be here yet. They're a month early." Tien said.
Meanwhile, with Piccolo and Raditz
"So, Vegeta and Nappa have arrived at last, like Akio and Fasha said they would." Piccolo said with eagerness to fight while grinning insanely.
"Indeed. I'd know those power levels anywhere." Raditz said with equal eagerness. "It's a month earlier than I expected, but I believe we can take on at least Nappa until Akio and Fasha return. But Vegeta, we'll leave him for Akio. They're both in for a reunion they'll never forget."
Meanwhile, with Akio and Fasha
"Vegeta and Nappa should be on Earth right about now. But if Piccolo and Raditz have gotten strong enough, they'll be able to stand a chance until we get there, my precious Akio." Fasha said with eagerness for the coming battle.
"Oh, I have faith in them, my dear Fasha. But I'm mainly focused on meeting my brother for the 1st time ever." Akio said with insanity as she imagined the reunion between her and her older brother. "PREPARE YOURSELF, VEGETA!"
There you go, my dear friends, the training chapters are complete. Next will be the fight between the earthling warriors, Raditz and Piccolo and Fasha vs. Nappa and the Sabamen, as well as the long long awaited battle of sister against brother for the future of the Saiyan race and who will have the right to be worthy of the royal blood in their veins. And I have big plans for the 32 female lesbian Saiyans, including Erkin and Achoy, as well as a certain other Saiyan who has a certain fruit from a godly tree, and their future role in the story. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Rate and review and I'll see you all next time, my dear friends.
