Chapter 12 - Tarble's Trouble

Gohan and Videl's wedding was amazing. Hercule spent an obscene amount of money and it was definitely a wedding worthy of royalty. Videl looked gorgeous in a beautiful wedding dress that went up around her neck, leaving her shoulders bare. Gohan was struggling to control his emotions through the bond and I didn't begrudge him that. When he saw her, I am pretty sure his heart stopped when Hercule and Videl started walking down the aisle.

They had a grand wedding but it was only Erasa standing on Videl's side and Goten and I standing with Gohan, both of them wanting a small wedding party. We had convinced Dende to be the official and he took to it with a huge smile. Hercule was crying his eyes out and mumbling about his baby growing up. It was actually kind of sweet. My mom was doing the same thing.

Goku stuck around for the whole ceremony, but we couldn't expect too much more from my dad. The day was bright and sunny and even Nimbus showed up to take the two new lovebirds away. They met me at Capsule Corp after the reception where I would be their honeymoon pilot.

"You two ready to go?" I asked.

"You bet sis!" Gohan said his smile and emotions were at an all-time high.

I smiled and took the new Capsule out of my pocket, much larger than the other ones like a ping pong ball turned into a pill shape. I pressed the button and threw it straight up into the air.

Wind blasted around and the form of my massive spaceship came into existence above us. I held my hand up and accessed my Ki reserves within the ship. I immediately ignited the engines, turned the shielding on, and directed the bubble projection arrays. Gohan and Videl were picked up by a large golden bubble and began to rise into the air.

Looking up at my new space ship there were a few final changes. The hull was mostly the stark white of the standard Capsule Corp color pallet. Under the sleek white hull were lines and sections of reliefs in black, and a massive golden star had been painted at an angle on the rear sides of the ship.

On the front where we had left room for the names, just before it finished the curve into the knife-like bow of the starship, was the new name, UC-01 Golden Star. Universal Cruiser number 1. I was so happy with it that I just used Instant Transmission to plop down on my Captain's Chair. The entire ship was within range of my Instant Transmission since it had my Ki already within it, meaning that I can teleport all throughout.

I watched on with glee as Gohan and Videl, who were smiling and waving from within their golden bubble, were lifted into the underbelly hatch. The spiral doors hissed open to let them in and pulled them up into the ship.

"Welcome aboard Passengers, Newlyweds, and all, to the maiden voyage of Chiyo's awesome starship! The Golden Star!" I said over the announcement systems. I could feel Gohan's amusement through the bond we had and I looked up to one of the screens showing the small receiving room they landed in.

I guided them to one of the few viewing rooms that I help to design. I put champagne, fruits, chocolate, and all the stuff a new couple could want.

"Alrighty, folks, it will be a 12-minute trip to Saturn and we have provided you both with an array of snacks and treats! Please enjoy!" I said over the loudspeaker again.

"Thank you, Chiyo!" Videl said as Gohan carried her to a comfy chair.

I guided the ship into orbit with the Captain's Control Console. Something that I could essentially push a button to have flight controls appear from some more Capsule Tech, letting me fly the ship from the Captain's Seat.

I had the room for a full flight crew with around 6 spots at working stations. The Bridge itself was large and the Captain's seat stood high above, and I could look out across the bridge where glowing blue screens, camera projections, engine statistics and more were on display.

As surreal of a feeling of having power like a Saiyan is, this had to be up there. I was sitting in a starship, MY starship.

I took the futuristic 'steering wheel' which was essentially just a two-handled control that can move the ship in any direction. I had the thrusters on the right, where I had different settings.

Inputting the course to Saturn I just followed a holographic pathway that my computer projected onto my screen, and off we went.

The engines were nearly silent, I could feel a slightly powerful rumble as our blue marble disappeared in seconds. We wouldn't even be going full speed while just in our Solar System, or we would drastically overshoot it by thousands of lightyears...this ship is REALLY fast.

By the time we got to Saturn I could tell that the two love birds only had eyes for each other and not the stunning views, I just told them to message me if they needed anything or had trouble with the ship.

I used Instant Transmission to pop back to the reception which was winding down, but still a great time. We had delicious smoothie drinks, which were probably my favorite, some type of mango and strawberry with ice cream or something. I drank nearly a whole gallon to myself while hanging out with 18, Bulma, and my Mom.

I also talked with Hercule a bit, his usual ridiculous personality was all over the place, the pains of giving his daughter away I guess. I got him to tell stories of old fights and stuff like that which he loved so I sort of made him feel at home.

We all had smiles on our faces as the day came to a close, now with an extra sister-in-law. Part of the reason for me putting my brother across the Solar System was that I didn't want to feel the feedback of emotions from their...first night together. It was with a great deal of frustration that some of the emotions and feelings still made it through, and I was only able to block everything out while meditating, so I just did that as much as possible.

The week after Gohan and Videl's wedding, they were still enjoying time together as they had the week off, so it was time for me to make the next round of Wishes to better secure our power.

I summoned Shenron again and this time had brought along Carina Florez and Tien Shinhan so she could witness it, and so I could unlock his potential. We usually just stored them a the Lookout, but I also liked to hold onto them so Bulma didn't go wishing for a nicer butt again... and it was a fine butt already so it was crazy that she would want it again.

"Eternal Dragon. By your name, I summon you forth, Shenron!"

The blast of golden light as the massive dragon came was as blinding as always, and no less amazing to watch. My heart hammered in my chest as the dragon looked down at us.

"Hurry and speak your wishes..."

"I wish for you to unlock Tien Shinhans' full potential."

"Done," Shenron's eyes flashed red.

"Wha...Chiyo..." He was cut off as his Ki skyrocketed and his eyes went fully white. He stood there in shock as if receiving a vision. I turned back to Shenron.

"I wish to have a way to help others access their mind spaces to help unlock potential, bloodlines, or spiritual things of that nature" This wish is a huge gamble, I was hoping that I could help others interact with their sources. It would be interesting if it works and we had a path for humans to advance.

"Hmmm, an alteration of my blessing, not a problem. You should be able to access people's Spirit Spaces with their permission now."

I nodded, officially receiving a name for the place according to Shenron, time for the last one.

"I wish for a weapon that can use Spirit Fission on those it hits and that I can always carry with me, if not physically then spiritually."

"Spirit Fission is a technique in which you use your own energy to disrupt, manipulate, and separate energy from the target, enabling you to undo Fusion or Absorption. I can create a weapon through my blessing that enables an ability similar to that, but only disruption and separation, not manipulation of the energy of a target. Weapons are inherently used to destroy so that is what it will be, Granted."

I expected a weapon of some sort like the Z-sword to appear around me as Shenron disappeared, but nothing happened. Then I felt a slight energy build up on my right arm. I took my jacket off, its sleeves were covering my upper arms where the energy was.

A golden serpent...no a golden Shenron appeared like a tattoo. It coiled gracefully around my arm and onto my shoulder where the animated dragon seemed to be looking around.

I couldn't feel it physically, but only an external source of Ki, which felt imperious and domineering. That of a dragon.

"Huh..." I said then willed the weapon to show itself.

The dragon seemed to roar and I jumped back in surprise, as did Carina, while the roar was very loud and physical. The Shenron Tattoo flew down my arm and into my and as a golden-hilted Odachi sprang into existence. It was like something out of an anime as the nearly two-and-a-half-foot handle met a nearly 10-foot curved silver-green blade, glowing golden with my Ki. It was like an extension of my body and I instinctually knew that I could 'cut' through anything, especially energy. I would have to learn how to wield a sword...I have never trained with weapons.

"Holy shit," Then it turned into clouds and merged onto my arm once again. , my energy nearly spent. That could be a problem, using most of my energy to hold it for only a few seconds.

Tien, Piccolo, and I walked into the now-named Central Arena, "Well how does it feel Tien?"

"I still can't believe you did that, wasting a wish on me..."

"Tien, please stop, it isn't a waste, and you know it. I did it for Piccolo too..." I said nodding at Piccolo. He just raised an eye-ridge.

"I know but still...it is crazy how strong it is," Tien said. "I am unable to fully access it for now."

"Exactly Tien, you both are Trainers of the Z-Force the most powerful mortal agency in Universe 7! You have too many techniques not to be among the strongest. While Saiyans have the unlocking of power through combat or through power exchange... humans have it worse. We have no direct method of gaining power like Saiyans do with the Zenkai boost. That being said, humanity grants its power from diversity and uniqueness I think. I know my lineage from my mother's side, from wherever the Ox King comes from, has to do with fire."

"This is the Mind Space you were talking about?" Tien asked me.

I nodded, "Officially called a Spirit Space, but all these names are interchangeable. That wish was to be able to help others access that, so they can unlock potential and sources from hidden bloodlines. You are what, 50% Triclops?"

"Uhhh, less than that I think, my grandfather was a Triclops, but I seemed to have inherited a bit more from it."

I nodded at that, I could feel his power just waiting to boil over and it didn't feel human, though it did feel... odd.

"Alright, today is all about us three, as the leader of the Z Force I need the trainers to be some of the strongest. We might never beat Goku and Vegeta in the long run, but we have the ability to catch up with Piccolo's new Orange form and whatever you learn to stabilize Tien."

"Don't act like you don't have something else too Chiyo..." Piccolo said.

I smiled at that, "I might have something I have been working on. Alright, Tien, can you power up and show us what you got?"

"Yeah...no problem," Tien said as he closed all three eyes and got into a power stance.

Tien began to power up, but instead of rage or anger for power, it was something much different, a sense of protection, or no... the feeling of being protected emanated from Tien. Like, just by being here in his aura we were under his watch...I don't know how to explain it.

He sort of hummed and then immediately flashed a forest green light as he grew in size. I immediately felt it and looked to Piccolo to make sure I wasn't dreaming, Piccolo also looked shocked. Tien has access to a form of Divine Ki, and it was coming from his Triclops side!

When the power settled, Tien was now nearly 20 feet tall, had four arms and his three eyes were a solid glowing white. He felt intimidating yet natural and a part of the world like I felt while using Divine Ki. Dark green lines of power seemed to grow all over his skin like vines, and his clothes had changed.

He still had martial arts pants and shoes on, but he now had a sort of small vest like something Majin Buu would wear, but it looked to be some sort of dark green material as well, leaving most of his chest and four arms open.

A ball of ki seemed to orbit his body in different directions as it went around him.

"Awesome, it is strong too," I said to Piccolo who just nodded.

My dad popped in with the sound of Instant Transmission, "Oh wow! I thought that was you Tien, your power is amazing!"

I smiled at my dad, "Do you have anything that you have been working on, Dad? This would be a great time to try it out."

"Hehehehe, I don't know...I might have something, Tien do you want to spar?"

Tien laughed, his bastion-like aura showing his amusement, "Sure Goku, I would love to see where we stand." His voice was deep and seemed to force the air to vibrate with it.

This was the thing about Divine Ki, it was harder to tell how much a person could access, like how hard it was to see the curving surface of a planet while standing on it, it was just too much to compare without the distance to view it all. That being said, I could immediately tell that it was strong than my Super Saiyan Blue form, by a lot.

We now had another powerhouse worthy of S rank at least.

My dad began to power up and easily hit Super Saiyan Blue, I wanted to talk with him about Saiyan Transformations, but that would have to wait until we get the first batch of new recruits up and running.

I was shocked when I heard my dad speak, "Kaioken, times ten!"

Piccolo, Tien, and I watched with our jaws hitting the ground as my dad's blue aura gained the powerful red aura of the Kaioken Technique. He looked like a bonfire of red and blue power as he once again claimed the top spot of total power.

"Wow, Dad, that looks amazing, you two should go spar in the upper atmosphere. Divine Ki isn't allowed in here!" I said, they both nodded and flew up through the partially retracted roof. Piccolo and I followed shortly after.

He turned to speak with me, "Kaioken..." He snorted, "Goku just can't stop powering up can he?"

I laughed at that absurd statement, "Of course not, he's a Saiyan after all."

Piccolo snorted again, "What is your new deal?"

I raised an eyebrow at him but he didn't let me speak, "Come on, you already hinted at it, you are worse than your dad, Vegeta, and Gohan...combined!"

I smiled, "Alright, I think I figured out how to merge my Oozaru form into my Super Saiyan Blue or Red forms...a Divine Oozaru form."

He just shook his head, "You really are crazy, you know that Chiyo."

Laughing I spoke, "Come on, let's power up and spar alongside them, I want to go against your Orange form again!"

He sighed, "You first!"

"Alright!"

We flew up into the sky, much below the place where Tien's massive form and my dad's red and blue one were engaging in a heavy spar, sending shock waves through the atmosphere.

I closed my eyes, accessing my Spirit Space. I pulled on the Oozaru form while jumping into the Divine Saiyan form and focused on coalescing them into something greater.

When I tried this before it wouldn't work, like the Oozaru form was too predatory for the peacefulness of Divine Ki. I wasn't sure how else to bring them together without accessing something from my human side. Powering up to forms with emotions is great and all, but acquiring something that uniquely represents you is more akin to moving forward on the path.

You have to become true to yourself, and I had only been using my human side to heal people, and that was more just an unlocking as the blessing from Shenron. It was time to at least bring his blessing over to my Saiyan side as well.

I focused the basis for the power as my Super Saiyan Blue Transformation and thought of the Oozaru as a flavor changer, a filter for my power to come together. Then I supported it with my blessing from the Eternal Dragon. Something clicked.

I felt my mind go cold and calculating as I embraced the Oozaru within me. The Divine Ki changed my presence and my energy. I was larger than just my physical form once again, and I could feel an odd sort of external regeneration of my power and body taking place.

Opening my eyes...I could see my hair had grown to crazy proportions. It was black with wild blue-fiery highlights moving through it. My hair was larger and coming over my shoulders and down my back. I can feel it, not it touching me, but feel FROM my hair like it gained nerves.

I looked down at my hands and realized my clothes changed. I have no idea how this works, it wasn't anything I focused on. I had black Gi pant's a black breast wrap with silver accents all over. I had silver bracers, shin guards, and rings on my biceps and ankles. I wasn't wearing shoes, just anklets that were below my shin-guards. It was odd but kinda cute.

A black tail with the same blue light, now as long as I was tall came floating around my back like a snake. I had incredible instinctual control over my tail and it matched my color scheme.

I looked up as I felt the gaze of Tien and my dad, while Dende and King Kai were also watching us, Vegeta would be here in a few seconds. How could I sense King Kai's Gaze? And is that Shin, Kibito, and Old Kai? Strange.

I spoke to Piccolo, "How does it look?"

As I inspected him, parts of him seemed to glow in red light and I realized that it was points that I can attack to cause greater damage, to put him down. The predatory Instincts of the Oozaru were working overtime to analyze what I could see.

Piccolo closed his mouth, "You...you look crazy. Blue glowing ring around your eyes and you have a silver pupil."

I nodded at that and noticed that silver lightning crackled around me. I thought the color scheme might be close to my dad's future Ultra Instinct, but my blue was much different and the silver was almost chrome instead of just metallic.

Ultra Instinct is a form about peace of mind, this one is about being at peace with who I am as a predatory species. About accepting myself.

I also didn't have silver hair, just silver eyes, my aura was a darker blue than normal, closer to a completed Super Saiyan Blue, and it seemed to flow through my hair like it was changing often.

I wasn't bulky like the Legendary Saiyan transformation, but still sleek like the Divine one. I felt lithe and athletic.

"Another new form then...impudent princess brat!" Vegeta scoffed as he flew up to us, Goku and Tien came down as well.

My dad spoke as soon as he saw me, "Wow Chiyo, you look amazing! I want to fight all of you right now!"

"Another brawl?" I asked.

Vegeta laughed menacingly as he too powered up. He grew to nearly 10 feet tall, hair turning a greenish gold as he bulked out, "I will show you the true power of the Saiyan Race!"

Piccolo sighed, "Does it have to be a brawl again Chiyo? Last time was ridiculous and we nearly destroyed the planet again."

"Get powered up Piccolo! We must learn to control our power well enough that the planet doesn't get hurt, let's GO!" I said while lacing some Ki into my voice at the end so it echoed.

"Yeah! That's the spirit!" My dad said.

Piccolo begrudgingly turned into his Orange form, and I could tell it still wasn't complete, but it was strong.

"So be it," Piccolo said.

I am not sure who won the fight today, we all walked away beat up with smiles on our faces. I was much stronger this time though.

I was ready to bring in the first wave of Z Force recruits. These would mostly be made up of Tien's old students, and they were quick to come to try their hand here at the Z Force. The opportunities for power advancement alone were worth it, not to mention the prestige that our organization will hopefully bring to the world. I just needed to play the right cards at the right time.

Speaking of which, it was time that I gave Yamu and Spopovich the next test, the most important one in their immediate future. I would find out if they are worth pulling out of life imprisonment or not. It was a harsh choice, but King Furry fully agreed with my assessment when I showed it to him.

I would read their minds and if they were not up to my liking then they would stay in prison, if I didn't like their dedication, purpose, or anything that made me question their loyalty I was well within my rights as not only a Princess of the world, but the Director of the Z Force.

But why do I feel so nervous about this? I am hoping with all my heart that these two have changed their ways, locking someone up for life is a death sentence after all.

When I got to the Capsule Corp holding cells I quietly entered and sent my Ki forward. Reading their bored auras carefully. Both were meditating, but really just hoping to pass the time. I sent a touch of Ki in their direction, not enough to impact their aura, but hopefully to enter their Ki Sense range. Have they been doing what I have told them?

Tests upon tests for these two, I will make their life hard, but worth it. I felt Yamu react to my Ki and I sent him the impression of approval through my Spirit Control abilities to layer emotion into my aura. He just felt confused and shocked, but didn't say anything.

It took a few seconds but finally, Spopovich began to 'look around' with his aura. I could feel it looking around like a spotlight at night. It was very rudimentary and he has a long way to go, but I will give my approval for learning Ki sense.

I walked in and spoke to both of them who could see me through the force field wall, "Well, you both apologized to my brother and sister-in-law, and it was sincere enough to earn their approval," I counted off, "Yamu, you have a decent sensory field and were able to pick up my tendril of Ki."

I nodded at him then turned to Spopovich, "Your senses are too focused and had trouble sensing me...but you did sense me. That is two out of three things that I have asked you both to do, good job."

Both looked nervous but nodded.

"Yamu, come here," He stood and came forward.

He had a stormy expression, but I could feel that he was just nervous, knowing what was about to happen, "I just want to say one thing before this."

I tilted my head to show that I was listening, so he continued, "I haven't had the best life out there, same with Spopovich here. We both went out, looking for strength and power and when we finally thought we had it, the Champ went and fought a crazy green alien man named Cell...miles above us in power."

I was surprised, expecting his first topic to be Babidi.

"Yeah, we thought we had it until Hercule beat us both down like chumps, then he goes and does that stuff with Cell," Spopovich interrupted.

"But then... we find that real power wasn't even close to what we thought it was...We can fly, shoot these Ki things from our hands, and it all felt fake when we didn't even realize that we had it," Yamu said, with sincerity that I had never heard before in his voice.

"What do you mean?" I said.

"I mean when we finally got power it was not what we thought it was...like we couldn't even focus on that aspect of it, blinded by rage at hate," Yamu said, Spopovich nodded.

"Either way this goes, I just want to thank you for the chance. Go ahead, read my mind, I have nothing to hide," Yamu said, looking straight into my eyes.

I nodded, "You are welcome, and just so you know, I want you both to succeed. Our world needs the help of men like you, I want to put you to good use, to trust you. I will find out now if I can."

That was all I said, and dove in.

I read his mind, his life. It had a lot of anger, a lot of regret. He never had family, only had friends in those who would betray him. I could feel his disgust with himself as I read his mind, I kept my mind cold and went on. I found his motivations for continuing on. Not just the one that he keeps telling himself, but the true one that he can't accept yet. He wants to be accepted by people, he wants a place to belong.

I can accept that.

He also has a tail fetish and it took one too many steps to realize what that meant before exiting entirely.

"Alright...you pass, I will put you through our training program, you already have the means to continue forward, but I expect you to focus on other things as well. You need to help others succeed alongside you. More than just Yamu. You need not be friends with them, but the reason for our organization is to help people. If you cannot help your coworkers, your fellow Guardians..." I left the rest unsaid, "Do you understand?"

He immediately felt relieved and embarrassed, but he also had an odd amount of pride in his acceptance, it was too much to analyze beyond that from just his aura, "I do, thank you again, I will do my best to help everyone I can."

I smiled, "That is what I want to hear."

"Spopovich-" I began.

"Please...can you call me Ivan, my lady?" His voice sounded much less...well dumb is as best as I can say it.

"Ivan?" I asked.

"I don't want to be Spopovich anymore. He looked sad about it, but I could do that.

"Of course Ivan, are you ready?"

He nodded and looked up into my eyes.

Where Yamu had some regrets that defined a small part of his anger...Ivan was covered in it. Immediately tried to show me his shame, a memory of his mother and sister dying in a car crash. He lost his mind after that. They were his world since his dad was never in the picture. It had just been him, his sister, and his mother. He was working the day that it happened and...

I pulled away from it, keeping my mind separate. That memory was the basis for all of his anger, and while he definitely had lost himself in that life, he was someone who was looking for a new person to protect, I can feel it. His heart was reaching out with the will to form a shield. I nodded, seeing all that I needed to see.

"Ivan, you have a good heart that is tainted by loss. I will offer you a path forward, a place to belong. You just have to extend that shield that your heart wants to make, to everyone that needs it," It was pretty cheesy, but I was doing my best to hold my emotions in.

I also learned something here, I had the acceptance from both to access their minds, but not their Spirit Space. I could feel it there like a door I just had to knock on. I will ask them if they wish for my help in that aspect another time.

He nodded as tears came to his eyes. I dropped the shields into their cells and threw a capsule at each of them. A new set of Z Force, Recruit-Level Training Gi's were waiting for them in the right sizes, "Get changed, today you begin your real training."

I was overseeing the training session of both groups, the Z Guardians who were learning other Utility abilities with Piccolo as lead, and the group on our outdoor training grounds. We had a surprising amount of people show up and Yamcha had been recruited by Tien to help alongside him and Chiaotzu to wrangle the 30+ people.

Ivan and Yamu were there as well, not just doing the workout, but demonstrating drawing their Ki forth and sharing their own means with the other recruits.

Turning to the other group, Piccolo was trying to teach telepathy and telekinesis, something that I wanted to learn as well. My telepathy was Ki based and therefore had to be maintained through touch or eye contact.

"What do you think Carina?" She was standing next to me, Piccolo's group was in the Central Arena, while Tiens was in the Training Courtyard, yet we had large screens of both that were somehow projected on the wall of my office as we stood and watched.

Down below us was a bee hive of activity, people running around like mad, this was the first day of our full forces on campus, literally everyone that worked for us was here.

"I am...amazed, honestly. You have done an incredible job, bringing all these people together for the same goal. To start from scratch, and to make it to where we are in less than a year...I just have never seen the world turn at these speeds before," Carina said.

"Look, I would be at square one without you, we both know that, I just don't have the abilities you do with organization, administration, leadership, and more...I would be lost.."

She exhaled with silent amusement, "Always humble?"

Before I could answer an alert popped up on my wall where the projections of the different training grounds were. I pressed the button and Rebecca Voss's voice came through, "Director! Sorry for the interruption, but we have a priority Alpha alert right now! Two Attack Balls have just entered the Solar System and will be here in a minute or so."

"Two of them you say? They are flying together?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Alright, message them the coordinates of the Attack Ball Landing pads. I think they just need to be activated," I said, knowing we would be getting visits from Saiyan Pods at some point I had created a line of four landing pads that could hold one in the air on a gravitational field. I think I know who this is, so I am going to get ready.

"I think this is the Tarble situation I briefed you on, keep your eyes open for another set of Attack Balls following them," I said again to Ms. Voss.

"Understood, Director."

I didn't have to worry about grabbing everyone since all the parts of our family were in the viewing room right now. Bulma and my Mom were there with Trunks and Goten watching everyone train, I teleported in and told them that Vegeta's brother and his wife were incoming, and Bulma about lost it. I giggled at that and said that I would bring them in when they landed.

I then used Instant Transmission to appear next to Tien, all of his recruits jumped except Ivan and Yamu who just looked on curiously.

"Tien, we have incoming, will you have your recruits go to the viewing room and then meet me at the landing pads? The Attack Pod ones..." I asked.

"Of course Director, Alright everyone, with me!" Tien said and ran off at a speed that the recruits could keep up with. I nodded to Ivan and Yamu then used Instant Transmission to get to Piccolo's training group.

"We have incoming, Vegeta's brother and his wife will be here soon. Followed by a couple of Frieza's old goons, I figure this would be a good chance for our trainers to show us what they can do, what do you think Piccolo?"

He just shrugged, "If they are weaker than Frieza... it shouldn't be a problem."

I smirked, "Good, would you please come with me, Piccolo?" I didn't want to reveal that they could merge and become stronger but Ado and Cado could fight Trunks and Goten and lose without merging and it would be a good trial for my new trainers.

I flew out to the landing pad, I had my wristwatch, and received a communication from Rebecca Voss, "30 seconds out director, looks like the pods are headed right towards you."

"Thank you, I will bring them in."

Tien landed next to us and I finally spotted two Attack Balls as they came in for a landing. The gravity arrays activated and slowed the pods to a complete stop before they floated just off the ground.

Both popped open at the same time, and a younger and smaller Vegeta-look alike hopped out. He immediately reached up to his Scanner and checked our power levels, I immediately masked mine so it would show as 1. I saw the confusion on his face when Piccolo didn't read at all and Tien just laughed and shook his head.

"Hello, Tarble and Gure. Welcome To Dragon World," I received surprised looks as Gure also stepped out, the different-looking person who was Tarble's wife also looking at us in surprise.

I bowed respectfully, but not low enough to symbolize anything close to deference, "I am Princess Chiyo, Director of the Z Force. If you would follow me, we have begun preparations for Ado and Cado's arrival."

Their mouths dropped open in shock at my revelation that I knew why they are there, I doubt I would ever get sick of seeing that look on people.

"How...?" Tarble asked, he finally noticed my tail and wild hair that matched, "You're a Saiyan!? Are you my brother's wife?"

My eyes widened in shock and I reeled back from that, "WHAT!?"

Tien and Piccolo burst out laughing.

I was as red as a tomato, "I AM NO ONE'S WIFE!" I looked at the two trainers with an evil glare and they only partially stopped laughing.

"Anyways...No, I am not related to you in any way...just come along, you will want to meet Vegeta's family."

"Oh..alright, my apologies for the misunderstanding...you are a Saiyan though?"

"Half...I am also half-human, one of the native species on this planet," I explained.

Gure seemed super reserved, so I tried to bring her in, "Gure, you will love Vegeta's wife Bulma, she is a great woman."

"Oh! I am so sorry, you said your name was Princess Chiyo?"

I smiled, "Just Chiyo is fine if you don't mind."

"That would be great, you said you can help with the..."

"We are already prepared for them, please relax, both of you. They do not stand a chance," I tried to reassure them, but I understand their nervousness without understanding the level our planet has been operating at.

We walked for a minute before I asked, "What is your planet like?"

Tarble smiled at Gure and let her speak, "It's beautiful! More purple in our plants and our sky is almost a teal color throughout the day. It is very beautiful, we would love to host you of course..."

I smiled again, "It sounds like a wonderful place, I hope that you two can stay here for a little while after we help with this situation."

"We would love to!" Gure answered before Tarble could.

I walked them to the viewing room where our families were watching the rest train, "Bulma, this is your brother-in-law, Tarble."

The room was silent, "Whoa! You are like a mini-Vegeta! Tail though, huh?" Bulma asked before walking over.

"Ah, I look forward to seeing him, you said your name is Bulma?"

"Got it in one sport! And who is this?" Bulma asked while gesturing at Gure.

Tarble spoke up, "This is my wife, Gure!"

I smiled, "Please take care of Gure, Bulma, Tarble and I need to get ready for the incoming forces."

"You got it...Director," She had been relentlessly teasing every new title I acquired, so I just rolled my eyes.

I walked over and addressed all the new recruits who were sitting in the empty rows on the other side of the room, telling them to pay attention to the upcoming fight. The more that they could see the further along they would be. Then I walked

"Ready, Tarble?"

"Uh, for what?"

I just put my hand on his shoulder and used Instant Transmission to appear in the ring.

Tarble staggered for a second as we were in the 10 times gravity of the Central Arena.

"Tarble...is that you?" Vegeta asked.

"Brother!?"

The rest of the Z Force in the room echoed at the same time, "BROTHER?!"

"I thought Father sent you to a distant star 'cause you couldn't fight?" Vegeta asked his voice containing a bit of challenge and a bit of hostility.

"A Namekian told me you returned to Earth after defeating Frieza. A terrible brother duo named Ado and Cado are terrorizing my planet...but Princess Chiyo says that you are all prepared for it."

Vegeta snorted at that.

My dad popped up, "So how strong are they?"

He tried to read my dad's Ki with his scanner, "They are weaker than Frieza was at Namek, but they can merge to be a stronger version of that. I confess to using this as our first run for the Z Force. Tien and Piccolo have dibs on the fight."

My dad looked disappointed, "Well, they aren't that strong anyways..."

I smiled at him, "Don't worry, we will have many more strong foes."

"Director, the next set of Attack Balls is about to land," Ms. Voss's voice came over the loudspeaker.

I nodded at her, "Alright everyone, mask your Ki for now. Otherwise, they will flee before they commit."

I heard Krillin lean over to Gohan, "Your sister is terrifying

Not 5 minutes had passed until Piccolo and Tien had led the red and blue brothers, Ado and Cado, into our Central arena. They looked at each other when they saw the group and felt the gravity, but both relaxed after scanning us. We held our smiles back.

"Well then, Tarble...you have caused us trouble," Cado the red one said.

I stepped forward, "Do not worry about Tarble. Whether or not you realized it, you have come here to learn something. Piccolo and Tien here will be your teachers."

They stepped forward, shaking their heads at my melodrama.

Both trainers looked at the thugs, unimpressed. Instead of waiting for a discussion, Tien disappeared in a flash of movement, his newly unlocked power made it so he could access power near the level of a Super Saiyan, all before transforming. He connected with a kick to the back of Ado's head, slamming him down onto the metal floor.

Piccolo just fired a single Ki blast from his finger. It impacted on Cado's chest and it broke through his armor sending the guy down to the ground in one hit.

I watched with rapt attention as they began to...wait, they are both out cold.

"Uh, guys this was supposed to be a training exercise!"

Tien had the decency to look sheepish, but Piccolo just laughed.

I shook my head and flew over and healed both of them to full health.

"I am so sorry guys, please we are going to do this again, I got the power levels wrong," I helped the poor brother's to their feet. They looked very confused after being knocked out in just a hit.

"Uh, Ms. Voss, can you send in Goten and Trunks please?" I asked into my wristwatch.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it will be fine."

"Alright, Director...in they go.."

I turned back to the Ado/Cado brothers, "Just give me a second, your opponents will be right out. I healed you both up, just stay right here please."

I steadied them and nodded before flying back over to the smirking Tien and Piccolo.

"Plans not working out like you wanted huh?" Piccolo asked.

"Hah! Coming from you, you could have gone easy on them."

Tien spoke up, "Yeah, that's my bad, I am still getting used to this power-up."

Goten and Trunks finally flew out and made it over with huge grins on their faces, "Do we get to fight them Chiyo!?"

They spoke at the same time, "Of course, just make sure to do your..." I thought about it for a second, "Well just do your medium-ist."

Looking confused, but still wanting not to argue, Trunks replied, "Uh, you got it Chiyo."

Ado and Cado still looked confused, but Cado at least had his scanner on and tried to read their signatures, "They shouldn't be as strong."

"Let's get through them and get Tarble!"

They flew forward and before they moved ten feet, two blurs of destruction in the form of Goten and Trunks smashed into them, already fully Super Saiyan. My lessons in finishing fights quickly seemed to be paying off.

The two little half-Saiyans did a gut kick each before following up with different moves, Trunks angled Ado up into the air and landed a massive elbow on his back. Goten smashed Cado down into the rough metal floor before following up with a miniature Masenko.

Both were out again.

"Am I just underestimating people right now?" I asked.
