Nonica was fast asleep the whole trip. She didn't know exactly where she was going, she had just punched something she had remembered hearing one of the Saiyans say before the planet was destroyed. The ship crushed landed after traveling through space for about a week. The sensor that indicate that the ship had reached it's destination began to go off, waking the little princess from her peaceful slumber. "You have now reached your destination, Planet Earth." the computer said.

Nonica rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Earth? Why does that sound so familiar?" she said. She shrugged her shoulders and open the door of her space pod. She hopped out of the ship and looked around her. The sky was blue and the grass green. There were trees everywhere and they almost all had fruit on them. The flowers in the forest she was in where beautiful and made the air smell sweet. "This place is really beautiful." she said to herself. Nonica then heard her stomach start to growl. "Time to feed the beast." she giggled. She reached inside the space pod and grabbed the bag that her brother had packed for her. When she opened the bag and looked inside most of the food had gone bad. "Vegeta really didn't think that one through." she said as she dumped the food out on the ground, "I may need this bag." and she put the bag on her shoulder. Nonica decided to try the fruit on the tree. She floated up to the trees and picked as many as she could hold and then went back down to the ground. Taking a seat on the ground, the princess began to eat. She was glad that the fruit was good, but she was so hungry that it really didn't matter. After she was finished she laid back on the grass and looked up at the sky. "I have to find somewhere to sleep and to figure out what I'm supposed to do now." she reasoned. She began to wonder why she had even picked this place to come to. She didn't know this planet, she'd never even heard of it. She was certain that she didn't know anyone that was from Earth….That's when it hit her. "The Saiyans sent a baby Saiyan here just before the planet blew up. I remember hearing them say that Bardock's son was sent out. What was his name?" Nonica said as she began to rack her brain. "Kakarot. That was his name. I wonder where he is and why this planet isn't completely demolished." The more she thought about it, the more she began to worry. "What if the people on this planet on this are stronger than we thought and they found the baby and killed him?" said the exiled princess, "I have to look into these Earthlings." With that, she stood up and started walking through the woods. She soon heard laughing coming from behind some bushes and went to investigate. She quietly pushed away the bushes and saw a family having a picnic in a clearing in the woods. The people were sitting on a blanket and their children were playing some sort of game. The were wearing strange clothing and they did have tails though they closer resembled Saiyans. Hmm…no tails. she said. She was wearing her own tail around her waist. If I'm going to fit in at all then the tail has to go. But what can I do with it. I am not cutting off, that would be way too painful. she began to weigh her options and then she had a stroke of genius. She pulled her armor off and threw it to the ground. She took a quick look around just to make sure that no one could see her. She pulled her suit down until it was down around her waist. She wrapped her tail tightly around her waist and pulled the suit back up. She decided to lose the gloves too and slipped them off, throwing them to the ground. She looked back over at the family, They don't look so strong. I wish I had my scouter. Maybe Kakarot just didn't survive the trip. He was really young if I'm remembering right. she thought. Soon she decided to start exploring a little and see what she could find. This new planet was unlike anything she'd ever seen before. It was lush and beautiful. The sky was bright and the air was fresh. Nonica walked for a long time. She soon saw something in the distance that looked like a tower. "What is that?" she questioned as she continued to walk toward it. It was so tall that she to take a few steps back just be able to see. She decided to simply float up and see what was up there. She came to a place that looked interesting, so went on up to it. When she looked inside she could see that someone lived there. Her curiosity got the best of her and she floated inside and touched down on the floor. The place she had discovered was beautiful and she wondered who lived in it. She turned and walked over to the stone guard rail and looked over the side.

"What are you doing here?" the voice almost made Nonica jump over the rail.

She turned to see who had spoken to her and saw something very strange. There standing right in front of her was a large white cat. He was holding a stick with something that looked like a wooden spike on the top of it. And he was standing on his hind legs. "Did you just speak to me? You're animal." she said in amazement.

"How good of you to notice, but you didn't answer my question." said the white cat.

"I saw the tower and I gout curious." Nonica replied still in complete shock that she actually talking to a cat.

The cat was amazed by this news, "How did you get up here?" he asked then.

True to her upbringing, Nonica had a little bit of an attitude, "Not that it's any of your busy, but I flew up here."

"Well now, there's no need to be mean about it. I was just wondering what such a little girl like was doing wandering around by yourself. Where are your parents?" he asked.

Nonica lowered her head, "They're dead." she said looking back up at the cat, "And I'm old enough to take care of myself."

The cat could see how much it hurt her to admit that she was all on her own so he decided to change the subject, "My name is Korin. What's your name?" he asked.

Nonica could tell that he meant her no harm and didn't see any reason to not at least tell him her name. "I'm Nonica."

"That's better. It's nice to meet you, Nonica. Are you hungry?" he asked.

It had been a while since she'd eaten anything and now that he mentioned it, she was getting hungry. "Yes, I'm hungry." she said. Korin smiled and lead the strange child inside and made her a wonderful supper, which she gladly ate.

Korin was happy to give her something to eat, but he never banked on her eating so much. Where is she putting it all? She is such a little girl. How can she eat so much? he thought as he watch Nonica eat her sixth serving of food.

When she was finished eating, she stretched her arms out, "That was good. Thank you so much." she said.

Korin smiled, "You're welcome. Glad you liked everything." he said, a slight blush appearing on his face.

Nonica was enjoying herself, but she wanted to see what else she could find on this new and exciting planet. "I think I better get going." she said.

Thought Korin didn't want the child to leave, he knew that if she could fly then there was nothing he could do the keep her there. "It was nice meeting you. Please, feel free to come back anytime." he said.

Nonica nodded and waved goodbye. She then went to the rail, climbed on top of it, and jumped off and into the air. She was about to fly away from the tower when she looked up and saw that there something big in the distance. She flew up to see what it was. The closer she got the more she realized that it was a massive platform floating in midair. She couldn't believe the luck she was having finding all these interesting places. When she reached the top she found that it was beautiful. It had trees and flowers and this beautiful temple like house. She floated down and started to walk slowly toward the house. When she got up to the house, she heard what sounded like humming. She stopped in her tracks and stared at the steps that lead up to the door way. A small, black man with a turban, a red vest, and white pants with pointy shoes was coming out the door. He stopped when he saw the little girl there. "Hello there, where did you come from?" he asked.

"I flew up here." she answered.

"You flew? Who taught you how to do that?" the strange man asked.

""My father, but he died." replied the young girl.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. What is your name?" he then asked.

"Nonica." she said deciding to keep her answers short and to the point. She knew that she couldn't reveal too much about herself especially her origin.

"I am Mr. Popo. Have you come for training?" he asked.

"What? Training?" she said confused.

"Yes, from the guardian of Earth."

"No, I was just curious as to what was up here." she answered.

Mr. Popo was amazed at her. She had flown all the way up there and all because she was curious. The child wasn't seeking any kind of training or anything of that sort, but was just acting on a whim. "No one has ever come all the way up here just out of curiosity. Everyone that comes is seeking training from the guardian. He is a very skilled and powerful master and is very wise." he said.

This intrigued Nonica and her Saiyan blood began to scream for her to challenge this powerful skilled master of the Martial Arts. But she just wanted to meet him and see what he was like. "Can I meet this guardian?" she then asked.

"To seek training, you have to defeat me in a fight." he said.

Nonica was beginning to get annoyed, "I told you. I'm not here for training, I just want to meet this guardian." she said.

Mr. Popo was about to speak when someone interrupted him, "Mr. Popo it's alright. The child wants to meet with me, I will see her." he said.

Nonica looked over at the steps and saw a taller man walking down the stairs. He was green with no hair and pointy ears. He was old with antennas and was carrying a stick in his hand. The small child looked up at him in amazement as he stopped in front of her. "You're the Guardian of Earth?" she asked.

The old man nodded, "Yes I am. My name is Kami. And you are?"

"Nonica." she answered.

"I understand that you're not seeking my training. It is amazing that you flew up here and you say that your late father taught you how?" he said. She just nodded. Kami placed his hand on top of Nonica's head and closed his eyes. "This child possesses great power. She is very strong for someone as young as she." he said. He then opened his eyes and removed his hand from her head.

Nonica began to get intimidated by this guardian. How could he sense her power without a scouter? How could he know that she was powerful by just placing his hand on her head? "I have to get going now. It's getting late and I'm really tired." she turned then and started to run to the edge.

"Feel free to come back anytime you like." Kami said.

"Yeah, you bet." Nonica replied as she jumped into the air and took off.

"Popo, I want you to please keep an eye on her. Make sure she is alright. There is something that girl is hiding. I sensed that something terrible as happened to her though I'm not sure what it is." requested Kami. Mr. Popo nodded in understanding. Kami turned and walked back toward the temple. I sensed something dark in that young child. It was faint and perhaps it can be channeled into something for good. I must keep watch over this young child. Kami thought to himself. Mr. Popo went back to what he was doing. He would check in ever now and then, but he was unable to find her. She was no doubt still on the move and thus making it hard to pin point her location.

Nonica wasn't lying when she said that she was tired and needed to get going. She had been so busy with exploring that she had forgotten that she needed a place to camp at for the night. She found a cave that seemed suitable enough. All those years of having to fend for herself while purging a planet had paid off now that she truly was all on her own. The small child had gathered fire wood, hunted down and cleaned her meal for the night, and had in cooked over a fire before sunset. Nonica looked up at the sky after the sun had gone down and the moon shone on the ground. She was horrified to see that the moon was full, "No, I can't change. Not here." she said and quickly ran inside the cave. When she was inside she laid on the ground. That's when the realization that she wasn't going to ever see Vegeta again hit her and she began to cry. She missed him so much already and was a little homesick, except she no longer had a home. No planet, no people, no family just nothingness and loneliness. Nonica dried her eyes, remembering that she was a member a race that could survive in any condition. That the blood of a race that never back down pumped through her veins and she was going to overcome this and make a new life for herself. Her brother had given her a second chance and the young child was going to take advantage of it. Her tears stopped and she was able to drift off to sleep.

The tiny Saiyan princess awoke the next morning and stepped outside the cave. She saw a brown bag sitting on the ground, right in front of her feet. "I wonder what this is." she said as she bent down to investigate. There was a note attached to it, she pulled it off and read it.

Nonica,

Mr. Popo and I thought that you could use these few items on your journey. I sincerely hope that all goes well for you and just know that you are welcome to visit the Lookout at time you like.

Kami

Nonica looked inside the bag and found two changes of clothes and a pair of shoes similar to the ones that Kami was wearing. She felt that the bag had a little weight to it and reached inside to find a beautiful dagger in a sheath that had a strap that she could fasten around her waist. Well, that was very kind of them. People on this planet are quite the sentimental race. she thought. She put the clothes back in the bag and put the dagger around her small waist. She went hunting for some breakfast and after that she found a place that was completely deserted to train for a few hours. Just because she wasn't going to purge planets didn't mean she was going to let her skills get rusty. She used energy blasted at shook the Earth. When she stopped to take a break, the ground was still trembling. She looked in the distance and saw that all her training and attracted the attention of a huge dinosaur. It was coming straight for the little fighter with it's teeth bared. "Oh so you wanna play, huh?" she said and jumped into the sky. Nonica threw a small energy ball at the beast that made it stumble back. It only served to further tick off the giant monster and it tried to lunge at it's potential lunch. She had to dodge many swipes from his large tail. The child warrior eventually got bored the beast, "Alright, let's end this!" she shouted and blasted the dino with all she had. She floated back down to the house, "Looks like I've found my lunch and my dinner for tonight." she said laughing.

"You handled that quite well, little one." a voice behind the princess said.

She turned to find Kami standing there on a rock holding his staff in one hand and the other was behind his. "Are you following me now?" she asked.

Kami smiled and said, "No, I was actually coming to see if you received the things I had Mr. Popo leave for you. But I can see that you really don't need the weapon, do you?"

Nonica looked back at the charred dinosaur that was laying behind her. "I guess not. But thank you anyway." she replied. She turned back to the old green man, "So, is that all?" she asked.

Kami floated off the rock and walked up to the small child. "How did you learn to do all that?" he asked.

Still unsure of what to tell and not to tell, Nonica decided to continue to keep her answers as vague as she could. "My father taught me how."

The guardian seemed satisfied with her answer. He was very impressed with her ability to take care of herself and so he made a decision there and then. "Nonica, I want to offer you training. You are very powerful and the right guidance you could be a great warrior." he said.

Nonica scoffed, "I'm already a great warrior." she said folding her arms.

"Yes, but you are also an inexperienced one. You need instruction, Nonica." said the guardian.

The idea of becoming a better warrior was intriguing and it was an offer that Nonica just could not say no to. Just because she was seeking training from a master in the Martial Arts didn't mean that she would use it for evil. "Okay. I'll train under you." she said.

This was very pleasing to Kami. He was very worried about Nonica being on her own and her living on the Lookout would put his mind at ease. "Wonderful. Come, we must get to the Lookout and began with your training." he said. He and Nonica went back to the Lookout together.

Our little Saiyan has found a new home and someone to train her. How long can she hide what she really is? What kind of training can Kami offer her? What of the darkness that Kami can sense in Nonica? Find out next time in the next installment of Princess of Saiyans.
