Author: "AUTHOR-DA-FRIGGIN'-NOTE-TIME! Do excuse the lack of action lately. These past few chapters have been focusing more on character development, and there really isn't a whole lot of room for action with that! However, you WILL see action... soon. I can't tell you exactly when or how it's gonna be, cuz that would be spoiling, but it will be... soon.

In other news, people are liking To Be Born Anew (the other fan fiction I started uploading a week ago)! I'm personally having tons of fun typing that one, since I've given Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest a break. Like I've said before, I've pre-typed all the way till Chapter 45 for this fic, so you guys still have plenty of chapters to read! And for those of you wondering, no, Chapter 45 is NOT the final chapter... it's just the chapter that marked the beginning of my break.

OK, done talking. Read, review, follow, fave, do whatchu wanna do."

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

"Hmmm... so... one of those two is not an experienced Saiyan, I see. She still needs to be trained for her Great Ape form and all!"

Assistant: "Yes, sire. It also appears that the other Saiyan lost her tail, making her incapable of transforming."

"And making her an easier target to annihilate. This is going to be easier than I thought. All I need now is the perfect time to attack."

Assistant: "But when would that be, sire?"

"When they least expect it, of course... hehehe..."

Chapter 32: You and I Miss That Home

Scorzette, annoyed by Sakura's inability to control her Great Ape form completely, faced the task of teaching her. It did not seem easy, but to Scorzette's surprise, Sakura was a much faster learner than expected. Thanks to this trait of hers, in only four days, Sakura was now capable of fully controlling herself in Great Ape form, without the need of her classic meditation. On the fifth day, Scorzette would give Sakura a test to ensure that she had, indeed, mastered the Great Ape form. After the test, our Saiyans' tasks at Starflow Kingdom would be over... or so they thought.

Scorzette: "Alright, Litua, today I'm gonna test you, to make sure you're not rough on the edges still."

Sakura (Great Ape): "OK. What do I have to do?"

Scorzette: "I'm going to start running as fast as I can. You're going to have to catch me. But here's the catch... no pun intended: I'm going to be as tricky as possible to annoy you! If you rage and lose control, if you break something, or if you hurt me, you'll fail the test... and you'll have to pay hospital expenses."

Sakura (Great Ape): "Ay... OK, I got it. I'll do my best!"

Scorzette: "Alright, ready? Set... GO!"

As soon as she said "GO," Scorzette ran at inhuman speeds (well, duh, she's not a human...)! But Sakura wasn't falling behind, despite her tremendous size! Every time Sakura was just mere meters from catching Scorzette, she would jump towards any random direction Sakura wouldn't expect. Scorzette even climbed some giant rocks, making it even harder for Sakura as she had to get her while not destroying the rocks by accident. Just following Scorzette wasn't working for Sakura... so she had to start getting tricky herself.

Sakura (Great Ape): "Oh, man... this isn't working... gotta think of something! Hmmm..." *thinks* "I've got it!"

Scorzette: "What, tired already? Come on, Litua, I know you're better than that!"

Again, Sakura began chasing Scorzette, but this time with a plan. In a quick move, Sakura moved to Scorzette's side, forcing the tail-less Saiyan to change direction. Scorzette ran towards some more giant rocks, in order to make it harder for Sakura again. However, that was part of Sakura's plan! When Scorzette climbed on one of the rocks, Sakura jumped towards a rock that was just to the side of that one!

Scorzette: "You idiot! You'll crush that rock into pieces if you jump on it like that!"

Despite what Scorzette and all laws of physics would assume, Sakura landed gracefully on the rock, without causing even a single crack to open! Thanks to her old equilibrium training with Mr. Ikeda, this was no big deal for Sakura. Dumbfounded by what she had just witnessed, Scorzette almost lost focus when Sakura jumped towards the rock she was on. Scorzette just barely managed to jump to another rock before Sakura could catch her. She kept going like that until Sakura took an even greater leap, skipping the rock Scorzette was now on. Unable to calculate where Sakura would land next, Scorzette just proceeded to jump to the next rock. To Scorzette's surprise, this was the same rock Sakura aimed for on her last jump, finally giving her a chance to catch the Saiyan. And she did.

Sakura (Great Ape): "Hah! I caught you, Scorzette!"

Scorzette: "OW! Hey, you're pressuring too hard!"

Sakura (Great Ape): "OH NO! I'm sorry!" *lets go* "Wait... does that mean... does that mean I failed the test...?"

Scorzette: "... Pfft! Hahahaha! You fell for it! Priceless... But, in all seriousness... you failed."

Sakura (Great Ape): *gasp*

Scorzette: "YOU FELL FOR IT AGAIN! Aaaaaaahahahaha! You are so naive, Litua! Don't worry, you passed! You have officially mastered the Great Ape form! I'd give you a diploma, but I don't have one myself, so my words will have to do."

Sakura (Great Ape): "Really?! Yes! I made it!"

Scorzette: "Yeah... heh... diploma... reminds me of grade school... back home... eeeh, whatever. Let's get you back to normal so we can rest for the rest of the night."

Scorzette returned to Starflow Kingdom, Sakura waiting just outside the kingdom walls. Scorzette asked Andromeda to split the moon for a couple of seconds so Sakura would return to her normal self. After doing so, Scorzette went outside to take Sakura back to their room, as she had fainted from the tiresome test and transformation.

The next morning...

Sakura: "Uuuuhhh... hmmm..." *yawn* "Good morning, Scorzette... Scorzette? Wait, where is she?"

Scorzette: *sitting beside the window* "I'm here."

Sakura: "Oh... why are you looking up to the sky? Is there something outside?"

Scorzette: "No, it's not the sky... it's outer space. I just... I... I miss home..."

Sakura: "You miss... Planet Vegeta... I guess you miss it more than I do since, well, you actually had a childhood there. I can't remember anything, other than my parents' last words. How was Planet Vegeta, anyways?

Scorzette: "Hmmm... you'd think a planet dominated by the race of the strongest and most feared warriors in the universe would be ugly, but... I don't think it was ugly at all. Most records for the planet are from the North-Western region, where Frieza and King Vegeta did all their business. That region, due to all the fighting and barbaric murder, had decayed greatly, and looked like a lifeless desert. But our South-Western region still had plenty of vegetation, animals, clear skies, even the Saiyans over there were actually nice, for the most part. When I left the planet, I was taught that all Saiyans were like the North-Western ones, but now that I have a clear mind, I remember the kind of people I lived with... and they were friendly. Sure, they were also warriors, and could fight just as well, but it was to be prepared in case we were attacked... guess it wasn't enough training."

Sakura: "That... sounds nothing like the stuff I've read about Saiyans... which means that no one in this world knows the whole story!"

Scorzette: "Besides you, yeah, everyone thinks us Saiyans are all like the North-Western ones. North-Western Saiyans are too mainstream... But, anyways, yeah, that's how I remember Planet Vegeta... that's why I miss it."

Andromeda: "Very interesting."

Sakura: "Huh? Andromeda? Since when have you been standing beside me?"

Andromeda: "Well, you two and Ninomiya were gonna pack your things today, so I thought I'd come help, but when I came in, Scorzette was talking about Planet Vegeta. The stuff she was saying is just too interesting the interrupt."

Scorzette: "(Totally not a stalker...)"

Andromeda: "Well, you know what this means, right? I've gotta do some serious updating to my Planet Vegeta library. And I'll be the author of the new encyclopedias. But, just what Scorzette said won't be enough to fill ANY encyclopedia, so... the only way to get enough info is to actually visit Planet Vegeta."

Scorzette: "Well, I don't know if you remember, but the planet was, oh, I dunno, blown into a million pieces?"

Dat sarcasm.

Andromeda: "Oh, don't worry, I'm aware. What YOU'RE not aware, though, is of my new powers. I absorbed a hell-of-a-lot of energy from the power core recently, which means my galactic powers have increased considerably. Enough to... guess."

Sakura: "Umm... move moons around?"

Andromeda: "I already could do that..."

Scorzette: "Summon normal sized quasars?"

Andromeda: "Not THAT much power!"

Sakura: "Take bunnies out of a hat?"

Andromeda: "... what... no, Sakura... that's not my... kind of mag-OK, no, you guys aren't getting it... with these new power, I have the ability to rebuild planets!"

Scorzette: "REBUILD PLAN-" *jumps towards Andromeda* *grabs Andromeda* "SO THAT MEANS YOU CAN REBUILD PLANET VEGETA?!"

Andromeda: "AH! Y... ye... yes... I... I can... but... please... let me go... I'm scared..."

Scorzette: *lets go* "OH MY GOD! I HAVE A CHANCE OF SEEING HOME AGAIN! YYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!"

Sakura: "I'll be able to have vivid memories of my home planet! This is great! Andromeda, what do we have to do to rebuild Planet Vegeta?"

Andromeda: "You, nothing. Other than coming along to see your planet be rebuilt from the core up, you guys don't have to do anything. I'll take care of it. All we need is a space ship, and it should take us like two days to get there, and a day to rebuilt the planet, with moon and everything!"

Sakura: "Yay! I'm going to go tell Ninomi... umm... are you OK, Scorzette...?"

Scorzette: *rolling on the floor* "I GET TO-HEHEHEH-I GET TO-AAAHEHEHE-I GET TO VISIT HOME AGA-AAAAAAAAHHAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" *twitching*

Sakura: "Well... I guess she's happy... tee-hee!"

Andromeda: "That is the most psychotic and unhealthy happiness I have ever seen in my entire life."

The exciting news filled our heroes with joy! Specially Scorzette, she was filled with a lot of joy and... a LOT of joy. Maybe too much joy. Sakura went to Ninomiya to tell him about the whole thing. He was very happy for them, despite it not affecting him particularly. That is until he joined them.

In the ship before launch...

Ninomiya: "Alright, I'm very happy for you guys and I hope your planet being rebuilt helps Andromeda with her research and all, but... WHY DO I HAVE TO COME ALONG?!"

Scorzette: "Yeah, why is HE coming along?!"

Sakura: "Because Ninomiya is my best friend! We've gone everywhere together!"

Ninomiya: "Yeah, we've been to a lot of places here on Earth, but not in outer space!"

Andromeda: "Oh, quit your complaining! Besides, this is a good chance for you to make it up to Scorzette for cutting her tail off."

Ninomiya: "Again, if I hadn't done that, our lives would have been in danger!"

Scorzette: "I was already knocked out, you idiot! I wouldn't have been able to do jack even if I wanted to!"

Sakura: "Oh, come on guys, don't start! This is a happy journey, not an angry one!"

Scorzette and Ninomiya: *staring at each other* "Aaaarrrggghh... humph!" *face their backs at each other*

Andromeda: "Awww, that's a sign of a great friendship in the future!"

... is it?

Author: "I'm not telling."

Damn it...

Ship computer: "Commencing countdown for launch operation. The ship will part in: one minute."

Andromeda: "Alright, everyone, say your last good-byes to Starflow Kingdom and, well, Earth!"

Sakura: "Bye, everyone! We'll be back soon, and so will Planet Vegeta!"

Ninomiya: "If anyone needs me for some sort of emergency right now, it's your last chance!"

Starflow King and Queen: "Nope, you're good, Ninomiya!"

Ninomiya: "(Damn it!) ... Okay..."

Ship Computer: "The ship will part in: 30 seconds."

Scorzette: "Thanks, everyone, for letting me stay here even though some of you are probably still scared of me!"

Some citizens: "Bye, Scorzette! Just don't forget to work on your anger management!"

Scorzette: *angers* "I DON'T NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT, YOU FOOLS!"

Andromeda: "Typical..."

Ship Computer: "The ship will part in: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... launching ship."

And so, the space ship's rockets started, lifting the ship off the ground. In mere seconds, the ship attained speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour, then thousands of kilometers per minute, and then a crap-ton of kilometers per second, somehow not creating a portal to an alternate dimension! But it's a fan FICTION, so who cares if it didn't? Will our heroes be able to rebuild Planet Vegeta in its entirety? Will there be an inconvenient event that will thwart their plans? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

To be continued...

Bonus skit

Sakura and Andromeda were talking about the ship they had just obtained to go to outer space, and an interesting question came up.

Sakura: "Wow, Andromeda! That's an awesome ship! But... where did you get it?"

Andromeda: "It came from... eh... where'd the ship come from?"

I don't know, I'm just the narrator... where'd the ship come from?

Author: "Hmmm... you know, that's a great question..."

... you mean that thing just appeared out of nowhere? That's non-sense!

Author: "OK, fine, fine... how about... ummm... the Starflow King and Queen had in on their garage!"

Andromeda: "We don't have a garage..."

Author: "... well, how about... it... uh..."

How about it just came from the secret room no one else knows about?

Andromeda: "We have a secret room?"

It's a secret, you're not supposed to know about it.

Andromeda: "But you just told me abo-"
