Nina and Trunks were busy setting up the tents before nightfall. Goten and Lei had gone into the forest to get some firewood. Nina was gonna go with Lei and have the guys put up the tent, but she could sense 2 things right off the bat about Lei. 1, she had a huge crush on Goten. It was easy to figure that out, because everytime she got around him, she'd go all red in the face and sweat drops would form on her brow. But Nina didn't want to give Lei away, after all, she was her friend. 2, Lei was an exceptional fighter and could take care of herself. Nina could sense her power level and was quite impressed with it. She almost thought Lei might have a chance to beat herself in battle, but Nina very well doubted that. Another thing Nina began to realize, was that Goten's little 'school crush' on her was starting to fade rapidly since he met Lei today. It wasn't just another crush either. Nina could tell in Goten's eyes that this was truly a deeper feeling, the same kind of feeling she had for Trunks.

Unfortunately, Nina was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't realize what happened next before it was too late. Nina missed the peg she was hammering into the tent flap and the nose of the hammer came crashing down her thumb!

"YEEEEOOOOOWWW!" Nina yelled out loud enough to shake the entire mountains.

Trunks felt like he was about to jump out of his skin from the sudden outburst. He was caught off guard so bad, that he threw his hammer in the air and he gave a small yelp of his own. He turned to face Nina who was sucking her left thumb, half whimpering, half swearing under her breath.

Before Trunks could go over to help her, the airborn hammer came crashing down on his head! Tiny balls of tears hung from his eyes as he muttered a curse. He rubbed the spot where the hammer head had connected to his own. Trunks felt the spot begin to heat up and grow warmer than usual. He winced in pain. "That's gonna leave one hell of a knot!" he hissed at himself.

Once he felt his legs weren't gonna give way under him, Trunks got up to where Nina was sitting on her knees, legs out to the side and she continued to suck her thumb while hammering the peg viciously into the ground. Trunks ran to her and snatched the hammer away from her. "Take it easy!" Trunks scolded at her. "You're gonna pound the peg into the ground! Then what're we gonna do?!"

Nina shot a glare at Trunks and his severe mood began to calm down. Nina edged off a little, but she still continued to glare at him. "I DON'T CARE!" she shouted in a muffled tone. Nina still hadn't taken her thumb out of her mouth. She began to sob. "It hurts!" Nina mumbled.

Trunks knelt down next to her, smiled, and then jerked her thumb out of her mouth. Her teeth had rubbed up against her soar thumb, causing it to hurt even worse. She was outraged, so she balled up her fist, pulled it back, ready to slug the guy who just caused her to hurt even more. And she really didn't care if she loved him or not at that moment. Just then, she felt a refreshing wind flow over her thumb. It instantly made her relax and her vision, blurred by anger, began to clear. Nina couldn't help but smile at what she saw in the clear.

Trunks was holding her hand, thumb still out, oh so delicately in his own hands and while he did, he was blowing cool soft air on her burning, throbbing thumb. Nina felt the pain slowly fade away, when finally it was almost gone completely. But instead of continuing to blow till the pain went away, Trunks sealed it away as he kissed her thumb tenderly. Nina shivered in delight as the sensation rushed to her brain, and just like that. The pain had left for good, and there seemed to be no sign of swelling at all.

~Somewhere in outerspace, near the outskirts of entering Earth's solar system~

Deep in space, a large, diamond shaped ship was on its way towards Earth's solar system. Inside, were 3 recruits who were on a mission to cause chaos and destruction. They were hired by Emperor Zell, ruler of Zircon. Their mission: To Destroy the Earth, but if that mission could not be accomplished, they were to kill the children of Taliyah and Jutus. 3 children, confirmed to be on the Earth. This was their main objective. Destroying the Earth was meant to be a last resort. These recruits were young mercenaries and they enjoyed their work thoroughly. They thought this mission was just another game, hoping there was going to be a challenge like Emperor Zell promised there would be. Hopefully this challenge would be worth not destroying the planet. The young and skilled mercenaries found that after the first 4 or 5 planets you blow up, it quickly gets old.

One of the mercenaries left her quarters to go see if her companions were awake yet. The spunky girl was around 18 years old and the anticipation of her mission kept her awake for awhile so she changed clothes, getting ready for today's training lesson. Even though it was around the afternoon time, they usually had their sleep in the day and trained at night. She had long straight green hair that came down her back. Her banes, and the upper part of her hair were braided into thin braids, little tufts at the end barely above her dark eyes. She wore one earring in her left ear and it was a black star with a diamond in the center that hung from a few links of the chain held by the stud. On top of her head, she wore a type of hat that fit the shape of her skull. The hat was red and trimmed with yellow silk.

Her face was a light brown, tan color. She wore a skin tight long sleeved shirt that looked almost like another layer of skin. It only revealed an inch of her neck and the sleeves came down to her wrists, then they stopped there, revealing her lightly tanned hands. On her chest, there seemed to be an open diamond shape, showing just a bit of her endownments. The mercenary wore a bright red skirt that was trimmed in black silk on the bottom. The front and back pockets were black and so was the zipper cover. The skirt came a few inches past her rear, like a mini skirt. She wore a black leather belt with a yellow star buckle.

On her legs, she wore the same type of material as she had with her shirt. It looked like a second skin, just as tight. Only it had a slight shimmer to it then the skin tight shirt she wore. She wore red socks that had thin, black vertical stripes down them and on her feet, she wore black skeakers and the toe, strings and sole were white.

The young girl walked to the main deck of the ship and went to the Communication Control panel. There was a large, square, dark translucent shape on the podium of the panel. The young mercenary pressed a button and a smaller square lit up where she had pressed. Like a keyboard. She then began to type more constantly and just then, a face popped up on the screen. It was a man dressed in the Zirconian Information staff uniform. The Zirconians were a teal colored race, with flowing purple hair and a green triangle on their forehead. The information employee gave a salute to the female soldier and she simply nodded her head.

"Yes Miss, how may I be of service to you?" the Zirconian asked.

The mercenary gave a sigh of sheer boredom. She had grown tired of that 'How may I be of service to you?' crap a long time ago. It was her patience that kept her from losing her composure. She brushed a braided bane lock of her hair to the side. "Yeah whatever. Get me Zell, now." the girl replied flatly.

The Zirconian staff member saluted. "Yes Miss, right away!"

The screen blinked off. The young soldier flopped onto a swivel chair and began to rock back and forth in it. She gave a yawn of exhaustion and then she scratched the back of her neck. She was about to fall asleep from all this waiting when the monitor blinked on again, showing the grand Zirconian Emperor Zell. The girl didn't care about his royal ranking and the Emperor knew of this, so he did not expect her to get up and bow. Though this concept made him angry, he did not push the mercenary's authority. She continued to rock back and forth in her chair as she eyed the Zirconian.

Zell cleared his throat. "Yes Lieutenant, what did you need?" he asked, trying not to sound exasperated.

The girl stretched her arms in the air and propped her feet onto the edge of the podium, making sure her feet didn't hit the controls. She yawned a bit and then blew a few braided locks out of her view. "Well Z, just wanted to get somethin' clear, that's all." she cooed at him.

Zell sighed, wondering if she was going to ask for more money. "What would that be Lieutenant?" he asked.

She flipped out of the chair and began to walk around the main deck. "Well Z, somethin's been buggin' me. I've been wonderin', why exactly do you want a few kids out of the way? I mean, you've told me why but, what's the use? You know when they find out you had them killed, they'll kill you." the soldier said while waving her hand from side to side.

Zell growled lowly. "Lieutenant, it is not your place to question the missions I give you."

The young soldier jerked her head toward the monitor, growled and then her eyes narrowed. "Look Zell! I don't know who you think you're talkin' to! You seem to have forgotten whose authority you are questioning here!" she retorted.

Zell swallowed hard. "I want them completely under my control! Besides, the Saiyan race is a menace and after those kids of theirs are destroyed, there will be none to try and over throw me! Not even Taliyah and Jutus can stand up to my entire Zirconian military!"

The girl gave a snort of amusment. "You idiot! Don't you know there are more Saiyans on Earth besides those three kids? They are just as strong as your whole stupid militia combined and even more, not that my fellow soldiers and I can't take them on, oh no, that isn't the case at all. It's just that..." she grinned. "We want to handle this one on our own accord. If you even once send in a troop to shoot off that infernal laser machine you've created on the Earth while we're on it, I promise you I will have remained alive, along with my comrades and we will hunt you down and kill you ourselves. Then we'll release those 2 Saiyans of yours and let them multiply even more so you can be disgusted in the other dimension!" the mercenary threatened, promised.

The Lieutenant flopped onto the chair again. "The only reason we're doing this stupid mission is to give us a challenge, have a little fun and for the money. If it weren't for those reasons, we would've said 'Skrew you!' and been on our way. Now don't you forget Zell." The face in the monitor shifted uncomfortably on his throne. She sneered at him. "Don't play with fire, lightning, or sharp objects. You'll hurt yourself if you treat them the wrong way."

The young mercenary laughed for she was reffering to herself and her fellow soldiers, and shut off the monitor. Just as she did so, both her fellow companions came out of their rooms, rubbing their eyes sleepily. They had heard alot of noise and wondered what was going on.

The first one to come in was another girl soldier, the same age as the first. She looked like a cat humanoid. Her hair was a bright orange and it was short and thick. Her banes were thick and high, though barely above her eyes. Her ears, golden brown on the outside, white and fuzzy on the inside stuck out of the bright orange hair. They twitched frivolously. Her eyes were a brown color and the retinas were big now, trying to get light to show in her eyes. Her face was fuzzy and her nose was an upsidedown black triangle shape, her lips were white and furry, she had 3 freckle dots on each side under her nose. She was wearing a Bengal Tiger striped night gown that came down to her knees. Her brownish gold tail, white at the tip and a thick horizontal black fur line under it, switched back and forth. Her padded feet made a slight noise on the ground. She began to wash her paw hands and then wipe them over her nose and face.

The other mercenary was a boy, also 18. He was tall and his hair was a dark blue color but not navy. More like a royal blue. His banes were spiky and so was the top portion of his hair. He wore a black loop earring on his left ear. On each side of his head, was a braided lock of hair that came down to his jawbone and was tied by a black rubberband. His skin was a light brown color and his eyes were black, pupil outlined in yellow. On his forehead, was the traditional mark of the race and planet the young mercenary came from. It was a thin yellow bolt of lightning, like a birthmark. In the back, he wrapped his hair in a black ribbon, making the ponytail holder length about 3 inches. The rest of his long straight royal blue hair fell down his back and past his rear. He was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, walking on his bare feet across the linolium floor.

"What's goin' on?" the two asked in unison.

The bane braided girl shrugged. "Just discussin' some things with Zell. I didn't mean to wake you guys."

The feline humanoid walked up to her fellow soldier. "So how long till we reach Earth?" she asked, still washing herself.

The Lieutenant looked at the coordianate holo-map. "Uhhh, we should be there in a few hours. Maybe 3 or 4."

The boy groaned and rubbed his forehead. "Man, that's gonna feel like an eternity! Can't this thing go any faster?!" the boy complained.

The young mercenary shook her head. "Nope, I already got it at the fastest we can go. And anyway, if we go too fast, when we break into Earth's atmosphere the heat by the pressure will cause alot of damage to our ship." she waved a hand at them. "Besides, it'll be alot more fun to have a night battle, don't you think?"

The two mercenaries looked at eachother, then back at the green haired girl. They nodded while grinning. "Exactly." they all said in unison. Then they all laughed together, excited about the new challenge they were going to face.

* * * * * *

The stars glittered in the night sky as Nina, Trunks, Lei and Goten were sitting around the fire near their tents, roasting marshmellows while wrapped in their sleeping bags. Trunks and Nina huddled closely together, trying to keep warm. Goten knew about the feelings Trunks and Nina had for one another. It hurt Goten as he looked over towards them, but surprisingly, Goten wasn't all that fazed by it. He accepted it eventually and ever since he met Lei today, well that feeling seemed to be replaced by another one for Lei. He was so sure that Nina would be the love of his life, because the surge of passion that swept him that day he first saw her, was unlike anything he had ever felt in his life. Goten's heart was pounding like a kettle drum when he met Nina for the first time, but when he met Lei, his heart felt like it was about to burst. He couldn't believe he kept his wits about him when he shook her hand. But what was even more strange was that, when Lei shook his hand, she turned scarlet instantly! Goten looked over at Lei who was sitting on a log across from him. She had been staring at him and when she saw Goten look in her direction, she blushed brightly and turned her head away. Goten smiled.

Man, she sure is shy! Maybe I oughtta go talk to her, make her a bit more relaxed. She seems so stressed out whenever she's around me, like she's afraid she might say something wrong. Goten thought to himself.

Goten then noticed the bandage on her knee and the red bandana on her elbow. His smile broadened a bit. He couldn't forget how she was when they were out getting firewood. Lei was so nervous around him she ended up getting that cut on her knee and on her arm. She was about to go crazy when he tried to help patch her up. She kept running away from him, like Lei didn't want to be around Goten.

~FLASH~

Goten and Lei walked together in the forest looking for firewood. Lei was a good 4 feet away from Goten. For some reason, she thought it be best to keep her distance away from him. She felt she might do something stupid like drop a branch on his foot or trip and fall on her face. That would be an embarresment, so she decided not to make him think badly of her. Though keeping her distance away from him might give him a bad impression, but Lei didn't seem to care too much about that. She just pretended to pick up more sticks for the fire. Lei began to lose her grip on the huge bundle of branches she had in her arms. She had nearly dropped the bundle twice, but was lucky enough to keep them balanced. Lei didn't want Goten thinking that she was clumsy too.

Goten noticed the heavy load she was carrying and saw she was about to pick up another branch. If she picked up anymore with the rest of the stuff she had in her hands, she'd drop them as well as get herself hurt. He decided that he ought to go and help her. After all, he was just carrying some twigs and pine cones so it wouldn't be too much trouble for him.

Just when Goten went over to help Lei, she turned around from where she was about to pick up the branch and saw him coming near. She nearly went bonckers when he was less than 6 inches away from her face. Goten held out his hands towards the large bundle of wood in her hands and he gave a meek smile.

"Uh, Lei? Do you need some help? That sure does look heavy." Goten offered.

Lei felt her cheeks grow burning hot and she hid her face behind the branches. She shook her head from side to side. "N-No, I d-don't need any help! I'm just fine carrying these sticks!" she sputtered out.

Goten cocked an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Here, let me help you." He reached out and tried to reach for the bundle, but Lei scrambled out of his reach.

"No! Leave me alone!" Lei shouted from behind the bundle. Lei turned around to go run into the woods. She knew she was acting childish, but she was just too scared in making a fool of herself. Besides, she didn't want to be thought of as weak.

When Lei turned to go deeper into the woods, she tripped on the large root of a tree and went flying forward. The bundles of wood flew out of her hand and they sailed through the air. Goten reached out for her, to try and keep her from falling, but Lei didn't have time to try and keep her balance.

She was so caught off guard she didn't know what was going on. Lei felt her knee crash onto something jagged and it cut into her flesh. She turned herself around and tried to grab onto the tree to steady herself, but she was moving way too fast to catch it completely. Lei grabbed onto the rough bark, the base of her arm scratching against it roughly. Her elbow had been cut as well as a few wheps on the bottom part of her arm and she could feel some cuts on her hands as well. Lei fell on her butt hard, her back and then her head slammed against the jagged object she had fell onto with her knee.

Goten jumped over the large tree root and knelt down next to Lei whose back was against a rather large and jagged rock. She had her eyes closed and was sucking in air to keep from whimpering. Goten looked down at her right knee and saw there was an angled cut half on and below the kneecap.

Lei lifted her right arm, painful as it was, and rubbed the back of her head. Her ears were ringing and her skull was pounding. She felt something drip down her arm and she turned to look at her elbow. Blood was running slowly out of it. She felt an irritating, stingy feeling on another part of her arm. Lei turned her arm over to look at the base. There were many scratches and wheps on the base and her palm.

Goten looked at the site in horror. He felt like he was about to jump out of his skin. Blood was running down her leg and arm. He felt awful about not helping her earlier with that heavy load. He looked back at the scattered branches and twigs across the grass. He shut his eyes, turned and looked back at Lei. She was still rubbing the back of her head painfully.

Goten took off the red bandana he wore across his forehead to keep the sweat out of his eyes. He then went to Lei and her eyes snapped open as she heard him approach. She tried to roll out of his reach as her face turned rosey, but she was too hurt to move very far. Unfortunately, she couldn't go anywhere if she tried to now. Goten had grabbed her wounded arm and began to wipe the blood off of her. The blood began to smear across her arm, but after a few more strokes it began to wipe off clean. He then tied the cloth around the cut that was just a little bit above the elbow.

Goten had an idea. He decided to use that crazy ancient remedy his father taught him to use, as well as his brother. The knee would definately need some ointment, but the arm could wait a bit.

That bandana should keep the blood from flowing until I come back with the ointment. Goten thought to himself.

Goten stood up and dusted off his pants. Lei looked up at him, wondering what he was gonna do. She felt really stupid now, she'd understand if he'd want to scold her for being so clumsy.

Man! I just HATE myself! I just had to go off and fall like an idiot! Now he probably thinks I'm a wierdo or somethin'! she thought coldly to herself.

Then Lei noticed Goten smiling at her. She started to grow a darker rosey color. Now he thinks this is amusing, in that kind of way that makes you feel like a court jester! Lei continued to fuss at herself.

"Well Lei, those are some pretty bad cuts. I'm going to go find some herbal leaves to help the healing. It shouldn't take me long to find, so you just stay here and don't move, okay?" Goten explained to her. Lei nodded. "Good. Now I mean it. Don't move! Not for any reason. I don't care if a giant meteor is falling down on Earth, don't you move an inch!"

Goten then took off with a burst of blue ki into the woods. Lei watched him leave, but she couldn't help wondering if he meant to abandon her here. She shook that idea immediately out of her head. "He'll come back, I know he will. I need to stop being such a pessimist!" she told herself. So Lei sat there and waited, soon she drifted off to sleep.

Later she woke up in a snap and started to yell as if she had been stung in the knee by a bee. Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth to muffle her screaming. She looked down and saw it was Goten and he was putting some sort of dark green, tear shaped, jagged edged leaf on her knee. Lei felt the unbearable pain shoot through her again as he rubbed the leaf against her cut knee. Was he trying to kill her or something?!

Goten pulled something out of his back pocket. It was a long white linen bandage. He made sure the leaf was secure on her leg and then he began to wrap the cloth around her knee tightly. Lei felt the stingy goo touch her sore and she yelled out again. Goten didn't even try to cover her mouth this time, he simply smiled as he tied a knot with the linen on the back of her leg, securing it tightly.

Lei stopped screaming and decided to take the pain in. Goten got another leaf covered in a golded brown goo that was lying on a flat rock next to a rod like piece of wood.

That must have been used to squeeze that terrible mess out of the leaf. Lei figured.

Goten took off the bandana on her arm and placed the leaf over the cut a little bit above her elbow. She winced with pain as the sap went into her wound. Lei bit her lower lip in agony. How much more of this did she have to take? Goten went back to the flat rock and scooped up some more of the golden goo on his finger off of a larger green leaf. He came back over to Lei who was watching him the whole time. He then gently rubbed the ointment onto her scratches on the base of her arm and in her palm. She continued to wince with pain. Goten looked at her sympathetically.

"I know it hurts Lei, but it has to be done." Goten said, quoting his older brother and father.

Afterward, Goten wrapped the bandana around her arm again and tied it tight. Soon, the pain began to fade a bit, once Lei got used to it. Lei looked at Goten and her face turned a very light pink. Goten smiled in return to the reaction. "Are you okay now?" Goten asked.

Lei nodded. "Yes, yes I'm fine. Thank you." she replied.

Goten stood up and held out his hand to her. Lei took it and Goten pulled her off of the ground as gently as possible. She felt a little off her feet while she was leaning on her wounded leg. Lei fell into Goten's arms but then pushed herself off of him and turned her back to him, biting her thumbnail.

"Uh, can you walk alright Lei?" Goten asked, voice full of concern.

Lei shook her head, back still turned. "No." Then she started to float off of the ground and she turned around, hands behind her back and she smiled, cheeks still rosey. "I can fly alright."

Goten smiled. "Great." Then he glanced back down at the pile of wood on the ground. "Why don't you let me help you carry some of the wood this time okay?" he asked, a hint of humor in his voice.

Lei nodded. "Okay."

~Back to the Present~

Goten walked towards Lei and sat down next to her on the log near the fire. She wasn't as nervous as she used to be. Goten made sure that she conquored that little flaw. Nina had her head on Trunks' shoulder and they were both asleep. Goten chuckled to himself. Lei wondered what was so funny, then she followed his gaze and she started to giggle as well. Goten placed another branch in the fire and shifted it to make the flame blaze a bit more.

"So, how are your wounds doin'?" Goten asked.

Lei nodded her head while placing a hand on her arm, then her knee. "They're doin' good. Thanks to that medicine of yours." she said gratefully.

Just then, a ki nicked both of their senses and I mean hard. They gasped together from the reaction. Goten and Lei looked at one another, eyes as big as saucers. "Did you feel that?!" they both said, barely above a whisper.

Obviously the power was great, for Nina and Trunks snapped out of their slumber immediately. Their eyes were narrowed as they glanced towards Goten and Lei, who seemed to have felt the same thing. Suddenly, Nina's eyes widened and she stretched a hand towards Goten and Lei.

"AWAY FROM THE FLAMES!" Nina screamed out to them.

Goten grabbed Lei, held her close to his chest and rolled off of the log onto the grass. Trunks did the same with Nina, right when she started to warn them, he sensed it too and pulled Nina and himself off of the log.

Right when they did so, just a split second later, a massive white energy blast crashed into the fire, causing little burning pieces of wood to scatter everywhere. Nina and Lei buried their faces into Trunks and Goten's chest while they covered them. In the dark shadows of Trunks' protection, Nina's anger grew. She knew of only one person who would attack without warning for sport. After the ash had stopped flying, Nina pulled her head up from Trunks' chest while he turned to look at the sky. Lei and Goten did likewise.

Floating high in the air was a young man, golden ki flames surrounding his entire body. His hair turned golden and spiky as it spread from all sides and his eyes blazed emerald. He held a metalic rod in his hands as it began to electrify fiercely. He wore a black vest and where the sleeve should have been, there were fringes hanging. He wore a white muscle underneath and black wrist bands, baggy black jeans that were ripped in several places and ragged black and white sneakers. There was a thin scar on his left cheek, but he had no tail. He chuckled down at the people on the ground.

Nina bared her teeth. "Jarvus!" she snarled.

Trunks looked up incredulously. "No way! That can't be Jarvus! There's no way he could've turned Super Saiyan in just 1 week!" he said.

"So, he's that jerk who put Nina in the hospital huh?" Goten sneered.

Jarvus laughed from above them. "I'm back guys, and as strong as ever!" he stated proudly. Jarvus then pointed his bow down at the ground and a jagged lightning bolt shot out from it, striking the place where Nina and Trunks were just inches away. Trunks gave a slight shuddar but Nina didn't even flinch. She continued to glare up at Jarvus while he grinned at her. "I challenge you Nina! Right here, right now!" he yelled down to her.

Nina and Trunks got up as well as Goten and Lei. They dusted off their clothes and stood at the place where the raging fire used to be. But instead there was only a patch of burnt earth and grass singed from the ki blast. Nina balled up her fist and started to power up her ki.

It continued to grow. Man, he's gotten so strong in such a short amount of time! He's alot stronger than when I last fought him. Her eyes narrowed. Even as a Super Saiyan, this might prove to be a challenge.

Nina's long dark hair started to rise in the air and turn spiky. It flickered from gold to brown every few seconds. Her eyes glazed over in green and then her brows turned gold. Finally, her hair turned bright yellow and her eyes were a glowing jade. The red ki flames changed to gold and the yellow inferno began to grow. Nina had completed her transformation. Her green eyes turned to the sky. "Alright Jarvus! I'm ready when you are!"

Jarvus gave no heed in replying. He flickered away and disappeared from the sky, reappeared in mid air and charged. His ki flames rolling off of him like sweat as he headed towards Nina. Jarvus aimed his mteal rod at Nina and out shot another lightning blast from its tip.

Nina dodged the blast with ease, but Jarvus began to retaliate with a barrage of more bolts. Nina tilted her head left, right and back, the electricity barely missing her nose. She gave a sigh. "Whoa! That was too close for comfort!" She mumbled.

Jarvus was now on the ground and resumed shooting the lightning blasts at Nina. She backflipped out of their path as the bright whip crashed into the ground causing more dark spots to be seen. Nina decided it was her turn to be the ring leader and so she was gonna crack a few whips of her own. She gathered up some energy in her fist and shot off the blast, a long stringy light beam. Jarvus shifted to his right, barely missing the thread like beam. Nina pulled her fist upward and the beam whip slapped the metal rod out of Jarvus' hand. Jarvus winced a bit and clutched his hand while Nina just grinned as the beam whip disappeared.

Jarvus cocked an eyebrow. "So, it's no weapons is it?" He asked. He went into a fighting stance. "I can certainly manage that!"

Nina went into a fighting stance as well. Her grin widened and she dared her brother to attack. "Bring it on." She replied firmly.

Jarvus gave a battle cry and charged towards Nina, his ki continuing to rise. She too charged towards Jarvus head on. They contacted eachother, fist by fist and kick by kick. An explosion of pure energy could be detected all around them. Trunks, Goten and Lei could only stare as the 2 Super Saiyans went all out on one another. The battle started to go on past the camp site and soon it started to go in the air. Blasts of energy being exchanged and both going at a fast pace.

Suddenly, a large black diamond like object fell through Earth's atmosphere and the hull was burning red from the intense heat. The 2 Super Saiyans stopped fighting to look at the object. The spectators on the ground did likewise.

The object was getting closer to Earth's surface and by now they could tell it was some sort of ship. Many smaller black diamonds seemed to be shielding the ship from the heat as well as some damage that might come to it when the ship hit the Earth. The black diamond ship began to rotate in the air and finally it landed vertically with and Earth shaking crash. Trunks, Goten and Lei tried to keep their balance from the impact while Nina and Jarvus just stared at the smoking black diamond.

Just then, a bright red beam emerged from the ship and as quickly as it came, it vanished. But this time, 3 people were on the ground standing next to the ship. One appeared to have bright green hair and a red skirt on with red and black socks. The person also seemed to be wearing a black body suit. Another had long blue hair tied back in a ponytail and this person had on a black short sleeve shirt with some sort of yellow design on the front of it. Under the black shirt he wore a long sleeved white shirt and the person wore dark blue jeans. And the last one had radiant orange hair who seemed to have sharp ears sticking out of it. It's skin was a brownish gold and it was wearing a bright orange dress that had a white collar, sleeves and it was trimmed in white. The dress had black spots all over it and the stranger had a white tipped tail. On its shins it wore some sort of furry socks that had no feet to them and they stopped at the ankle.

Nina's eyes narrowed. Who could they be? she thought.
