Author: "Just gonna leave a quick note over here. If you're curious on what Sakura and Ninomiya look like, I recently uploaded a drawing of them on deviantART. If you go to my profile, there's a link for my deviantART in there, and you should find the drawing quite easily. Anyways, that's all I had to say. I hope you enjoy the chapter! Leave a review, favorite, follow, do what you wanna do."

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

Computer: "We. Will be. Arriving. At. Our. Destination. In. One. Day."

"Hmmm… I have a weird feeling about this. Don't you feel like that, Computer?"

Computer: "My. Database. Cannot. Compute. Feelings or emotions."

"No feelings or emotions… guess us Saiyans really are ruthless, huh… I'm guessing you can't compute any kind of interaction with others, you just give answers."

Computer: "Affirmative. I. Cannot. Compute. Friendship."

"Friendship? I've seen the database, and King Vegeta once said: 'there is no such thing as friends, but instead allies in battle.' Well, he was King Vegeta, therefore this must be true, right?"

Computer: "Cannot. Compute. Answer."

Chapter 25: Self-Proclaimed Foe

After a hefty day fighting demons, our heroes managed to find a place to stay at, even meeting a new member! Helen Helena, an English girl that lives alone with her younger sister, Tiara, proved to be a formidable character, even if she has no particular super powers. She allowed Sakura and the others to stay at her place for a while, at least until they could deal with their upcoming problem! A Saiyan spaceship was approaching Earth, which meant our heroes must prepare themselves for a new opponent to face! They would spend the entire day training… but where?

Helen: "Good morning, everyone! Did you have a… good… night… sleep…? Ummm… may I ask?"

Blanca: "Fitting five people in one bed is not particularly easy. At least Ninomiya served for a great cushion!"

Ninomiya: "My ribs… they hurt…!"

Andromeda: "Besides an injured Ninomiya, I'd say it wasn't too bad. But we can't waste much time in here. We have to go out and train!" *stomach growls* "… we will, as soon as we eat something!"

Everyone went over to the dining room and ate from the supplies. Once they finished, they got themselves ready to set out and train. However, they did not know of any particular way to do so on West City.

Sakura: "That was delicious! Now, let's go out and train! We will train at… uh… wait, I don't think we know any particular place to train at…"

Helen: "Hmmm… well, I'm guessing you're looking for something physical that pushes someone like you to the limits. I've never been there myself, but there is this one place I heard of. It's called Capsule Corp. I heard that they have a special training room used by the Z Warriors. If you guys manage to convince them to let you use the room, I'm sure you'll get much stronger!"

Sakura: "That's great! Everyone, to Capsule Corp.! … ummm… where is Capsule Corp. again?"

Helen: "Hehe, you're quite silly, Sakura. I'll take you guys there."

20 minutes later…

Helen: "Alright, we're here. Let me talk to them, I know someone." *knocks on door*

Blue-Haired Woman: "Yes? Oh, hello, Helen! Hi there, Tiara!"

Tiara: "Good morning, Bulma!"

Bulma: "Looking as lively as always! Anyways, what brings you guys here today?"

Helen: "More than Tiara and me, it's them who need your help. They're really strong people, and they want to use that training room you have. Mind letting them?"

Bulma: "Who? Oh, hi there, Helen's friends! So you need to use th—AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Bald Guy: "What's going on, Bulma?! Why are you scream… a… a… it's… IT'S A SAIYAN!"

Sakura: "WHERE?! WHERE IS… oh, wait, it's me again. Don't worry, I'm not evil!"

Plata: "She really isn't! She helped fight off the demons yesterday!"

Bulma: "AAAAHH—huh? Phew… that's a relief… man, I never thought I'd see another Saiyan in my life! Are you pure-blooded?"

Sakura: *wiggles tail* "Uh-huh! But I'm nothing like Vegeta or Broly or those other evil Saiyans that Mr. Samuel told me about! My friends and I are here to train so we can fight an evil Saiyan, though! Andromeda said that tomorrow a Saiyan spaceship will arrive, so we have to be ready!"

Bald Guy: "A SAIYAN SPACESHIP IS COMING?! But Goku and the others are on vacations on another galaxy! They left me, Krillin, on the task to protect the Earth, but I can't fight a Saiyan by myself!"

Ninomiya: "Krillin? Oh, you're that guy who dies a lot! Yay, someone even more miserable than me!"

Krillin: "WHAT?! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!"

Bulma: "Oh, get over it, you know it's true. Anyways, if there really is a Saiyan spaceship coming, you guys are our only hope! Come on in, I'll show you the training room!"

Understanding the danger the Earth was in, Bulma showed our heroes the training room Vegeta and the others used. It had a very special feature: it could alter the gravity of the room as to push the trainees to the limit! It wasn't just a twice as strong gravity deal, though! The room could hold up to 100,000 times the gravity of the Earth!

Bulma: "Right, Sakura, mind testing it out first?"

Sakura: "Sure!" *goes in room* "Let's go for… 40!" *gravity turns 40 times stronger* *Sakura almost falls to the ground* "Ah! This… is… really… heavy…! Urrrrggghhhh!"

Sakura managed to stand up straight after a while. She stayed in for an hour. By the time she finished, she could attack as fast as she wanted at 40x gravity. Next up was Ninomiya.

Ninomiya: "Alright. I'm not a Saiyan, so I can't do as much. How about… 30?" *gravity turns 30 times stronger* *Ninomiya face plants the ground* "…" *lifts face off the ground* "O-o-o-o-oooowww… I… I have to do it… I have to…! Hyyyyaaaaa!"

Somehow, Ninomiya managed to stand back up and practice for an hour. He managed to do a weak Pandemonium Whirlwind, but for his standards, it was nice. Blanca followed.

Blanca: "I say… 35." *gravity turns 35 times stronger* *Blanca falls on her knees* "Oh god… this is… ufff… come on, Blanca… you're a Byoodo… you can do it…!"

Blanca had some difficulty lifting her arm up, but her willpower was stronger. After an hour, she could swing her blade with as much grace as always and strike with her arm with just as much power. Plata was next.

Plata: "I'm not nearly as strong as my sister, but… 25!" *gravity turns 25 times stronger* *Plata just barely manages to stay on her feet* "Gah! This is harder than I thought… but I can do it…! I know I can!"

Plata was arguably the weakest one in the team, but her light and athletic body helped her overcome the intense gravity easily. Finally, it was Andromeda's turn.

Andromeda: "6,000."

Bulma: "You… you're not serious, right? Sakura can barely manage 40, how would you even—"

Andromeda: "6,000!" *gravity turns 6,000 times stronger* *Andromeda immediately holds her arms out* "Kyyyyyaaaaahhhhh! I have the ability to adapt to different gravities around the universe; this is a piece of cake! 9,000!"

Andromeda just kept increasing the gravity. All she did was stand up with her arms held out, but the gravitational force was unheard of! The last number she yelled out before finishing was 80,000!

Blanca: "Holy crap, Andromeda! I knew you had power, but my freaking god…"

Andromeda: "Meh, all I did was stand there, really. It was more mental training than physical training, but it was training regardless!"

Bulma: "You guys did great! I'm sure you'll be able to defeat that nasty Saiyan tomorrow! In fact you better do, because we're all dead if you don't. It's not like Krillin will stand a chance."

Krillin: "Hey!"

Sakura: "Thank you so much for letting us use your training room, Miss Bulma! I promise that we'll take care of that Saiyan tomorrow!"

Bulma: "Also, I talked with the manager of a restaurant close by. He said that he'll let you guys eat all you want today for saving the city twice yesterday!"

Blanca: "Awesome! Thank you so much, Bulma!"

Our heroes went to the restaurant Bulma told them about. The menu had all sorts of different plates from all over the world! They began eating to their heart's content. Helen and Tiara ate moderately, as they were regular humans. Andromeda ate about as much as Helen. Blanca and Plata ate slightly more, since their appetite was that of a strong wolf. Ninomiya ate more than Blanca or Plata, as warriors must always keep their stomach full. However, Sakura just devoured everything, as she had that extreme Saiyan appetite. She probably ate more than everyone else combined. However, only the people at the other tables were shocked. Even though Helen had never seen a Saiyan eat for real before, she is hard to impress.

Once done eating, our heroes went back to Helen's house to have as much sleep as they could. Andromeda figured the Saiyan spaceship would arrive in the morning, so they needed to get up early, too.

The next day…

As soon as everyone woke up, they ate and left for the desert. In order to get there quickly, Andromeda summoned a comet big enough for everyone to fit. Tiara stayed home, though, as she would only be risking her life. Helen decided to go as she could serve for medical support, but she would try to stay clear off the battlefield. Just as they approached the desert…

Sakura: "Huh? Hey look, there's something falling from the sky!"

Andromeda: "It's the Saiyan spaceship! We're just in time!"

The Saiyan spaceship landed crushingly against the ground. The impact made a huge crater, as big as a dome. However, the spaceship was intact, not a single scratch on it. A door began to open. Out of the spherical ship came someone, a Saiyan, of course. It was another female Saiyan! She wore an armor-like suit, used by the Saiyans for years. Her hair was spiky in a sense that made it look somehow messy, but it only had down-ward spikes, having a piece of hair cover some of her forehead, between her eyes. She also had a pony-tail coming from the right of the hair, but she had it over her chest rather than behind her back. She was 1.77 meters tall. And, finally, she wore a scouter-like device on her left eye, which she used to scan others' power levels and communicate with her spaceship. She came out of the crater, immediately pressing a button on her scouter and…

Saiyan: "Huh… the scouter reads six different power levels close-by. Power levels of 17, 223, 248, 516, 569, and… 740! That HAS to be her… what the?"

In that moment, the comet our heroes were riding on landed, and everyone got off. As soon as they got off, they saw the Saiyan. Sakura then proceeded to get close to her, not letting her guard down.

Saiyan: "So… you're the one I've been looking for. Litua is your name, right?"

Sakura: "Litua? That's… that's my Saiyan name. But that's not the name I grew by. My name is Sakura."

Saiyan: "You changed your name?" *sigh* "I can already tell you're not gonna give in easily… ah, whatever. Even worse, you're wearing human clothes. I'm guessing you're allied with those humans, correct?"

Sakura: "Of course, they're my friends! But enough about me, who are you and what do you want? Destroy the Earth?"

Saiyan: "Friends… yeah, right. My name is Scorzette. I don't want to destroy this planet… just conquer it. But that's only my second task. My main reason to be here… is you, Litua!"

Sakura: "Me? What do you want with me? Where's your tail, anyways? And stop calling me Litua!"

Scorzette: "You're going to join me and we're going to conquer this planet, like it or not! It's what you should have done a long time ago, anyways. Conquering planets is what Saiyans do! We do it for money and power. Frieza isn't around anymore, which means we can be our own leaders! And with the powers us Saiyans have, no one will dare get in our way. And, Litua IS your name! Stop denying it! Oh, and my tail is right here." *unwraps tail from waist*

Sakura: "You wrap your tail? … Whatever! There's no way you're ever going to make me betray this planet! This is my new home… people have worked hard to develop lives here. It's not fair to take it away from them!"

Scorzette: "Fair? Oh, for the love of… it's what we do! It's the Saiyan tradition! We don't care for others, we just care for ourselves! We merely have allies in battle, not 'friends' to worry about!"

Sakura: "Tradition… that's your reason to do this? Tradition? Nobody ever said that you have to do what everyone else around you did! You can be different, like me!"

Scorzette: "Just… just… SHUT UP! If you're not going to reason with me… then I'll have to beat some reason into you! Haaaaa!" *charges towards Sakura*

Sakura: "Fine! Hyyaaaaa!" *charges towards Scorzette*

This Saiyan was not playing around! Scorzette was not going to quit until Sakura joined her… or died by her hands! Fortunately for Sakura, she was not alone, as her friends were also ready to charge into battle! Who will come out victorious? Were all the Saiyans in the past as stubborn as Scorzette? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

Bonus skit

After everyone finished training in the gravity room, Helen felt somehow curious as to what it felt like in there.

Helen: "Ummm… hey, Bulma, can I try it out?"

Bulma: "Helen? But you don't have to do it. You're not going to fight the Saiyan, right? That would be suicide!"

Helen: "No, don't worry, I just… I'm curious."

Bulma: "Uh… well, sure, just go in." *Helen goes in the room*

Helen: "Just go for… 3." *gravity goes up by 3* *Helen has a hard time standing straight* "This… bloody strength of mine… get over it, Helen! Ha!" *Helen stands up straight and walks* *a 'LEVEL UP!' sign appears over Helen's head in bold, golden letters*

Sudden mysterious voice: "Helen has leveled up to Level 4! HP 80 ~ 93; MP 45 ~ 50; Attack 11 ~ 17; Defense 9 ~ 14; Speed 13 ~ 18; Agility 14 ~ 19; Specials 10 ~ 15; Helen has learned 'Knife Flash'! Helen has learned 'Shotgun Boom'!"

Bulma: "What the hell was that?!"

Helen: "Knew it, I was right on the brink on evolution!"

Bulma: "… huh?"
