Nina clutched Pan tightly against her chest. Pan had buried her face in her hands as she leaned against Nina. Nina looked around herself and saw the others were alright, but a good 40 yards away. As she looked down, she saw over 50 different medium-sized craters smoking from the sweldering heat of the electricity. The Z fighters who were caught off guard began to shake their head from puzzlement. Nina sighed and recollected her thoughts as Pan breathed heavily in her grasp, trying to calm herself from the split second moment.

The timing was almost too perfect. In a swirl of almost deep confusion, Nina, Kino, and Jarvus actually managed to know what they were doing. Rowan had timed his movements and the Z fighters as well. He knew they would all leap out of the bolt's path, that's why he had them branch out. The Saiyan siblings knew of this and quickly took action.

Nina had snatched Pan into her arms, the young Saiyan gasped in shock. Then she used some of her own energy and caused a wave to disperse. In the wave, she knocked Trunks, Goten and Lei 30 to 40 yards away from the blast. They yelled as they were hurdled into the sky and then landed like boulders on the ground. Though the impact was great, no damage was done to them. The only thing that was shooken up by the 3 were their nerves. From where they stood, each teen looked up and saw Nina with Pan in her arms as she dodged several lightning strikes.

Kino was on all fours, positioned like a feline predator ready to strike. She looked straight ahead as the smoke rose up from behind her. Kino shifted her eyes towards the woman with short blonde hair, the short messy haired man she was with, the man with the flaming black hair and the green warrior not of this planet. They were sitting up, rubbing the backs of their heads and holding their arms. They were about 50 yards away from where she was crouching.

Kino could feel the sparks coming and had she not been raised out on the streets to be a quick thinker, she would've got hit. The blast was so close she could smell the burning heat of electricity pounce its way towards her. Kino redirected her energy at the bolt that was heading towards her. It sparked and shot into the sky, so she took the opportunity to get as many people out of the way she could. Kino held out her palm and shot off 4 powerful energy blasts at any four fighters, she didn't care which ones because four was all she could get in at that moment. They gave a yelp of surprise as they flew over the field and landed with a hard thud on the wet grass.

Jarvus was levitating in the air, silver rod swung over his shoulder. The wind blew his silver hair to the side, revealing the scar on his face. He looked around and saw Yamcha, Tien, Gohan and Goku sprawled out across the ground. A smoking crater was barely 2 inches away from Yamcha's nose as he layed on his belly. Tien rolled over onto his back and breathed heavily, sweat falling down his cheek. Gohan and Goku had already stood up and were looking at the damage that had fallen on the earth. Their eyes were huge for they couldn't even trace the young silver haired boy's movements. All they saw was a flash of light and something hitting their gut.

Jarvus was someone who didn't care about anyone except for family. He had grown up looking after the one sister he could find while trying to search for the other at night. It was a 24 hour cycle and when he did get rest, it was only for a brief moment. He would have just leaped out of the blast's path with ease, but a spark of his sister's thoughts came into his mind.

I can only get a few out of the way. I just hope Jarvus isn't so heartless as to not help the others.

Nina's words echoed in Jarvus' mind then and with a flash, he shot off 5 ki blasts at Gohan, Yamcha, Tien, and Goku. Once they were out of harm's way, it left Jarvus time enough to take his rod and knock the bolts away from himself as well as the others. For good measure, he shot one of his own sparks at the three enemies. He saw that a shield, pure energy, had blocked the bolts. He knew that the blasts were weak for he didn't have time to gather enough energy to do real damage to them.

Tessay smiled as she placed a hand on her cheek. She understood why Zell wanted those three out of the way. They were pretty strong as well as fast if they could dodge those bolts shot off from Rowan. Not only did they have time to get themselves out of the way, but the others as well. She liked the silver haired boy's spirit, brave enough to attack them, futile as it was. Tessay knew she was going to have fun with these three.

Rowan blinked a few times, making sure he saw what he thought he saw. He couldn't belieive it! Nina was the one he was most impressed with. She didn't use energy blasts like the others did. All she did was use her own energy that was swelling inside of her, knocking her 3 friends out of the way, while dodging his sparks with a young girl in her arms. Nina just didn't cease to amaze him at all.

Cougar began to purr happily. She was gonna have so many toys to play with, she didn't know which one she should fight first. The thought made her jumpy inside and out for she hadn't had a challenge like this in several years. Her tail began to lash from side to side. Her anxiousness was making her very unstable and both Rowan and Tessay knew of this.

Rowan smiled. 'Will we have to leash her Tessay?' he asked telepathically.

She returned the gesture. 'I doubt that my friend. This new challenge is hyping me up as well.' she answered.

Rowan looked over at Tessay. 'Say Tess, are you sure we can't let one of the Saiyan children live? I mean, Nina could be quite useful to us.' he suggested.

Tessay shook her head. 'Nope. Can't have that goin' on Row. See, she's pretty strong I can tell that already and that could prove to be a problem in itself. Since she seems to be the strongest out of everyone else, she must be the most iron willed as well. She'll be pretty hard to break, but the weaker ones we could do without also.' she explained, then shrugged. 'They've all got to go.'

Taliyah was training viciously in the Gravitron, pumping sweat from her skin as it splashed onto the floors. The room was bright white and she was in a fighting stance ready to attack, panting heavily. She had removed her armor, it was cluttering her movements, though it was hard for her to admit to that. Taliyah was fighting in nothing but her body suit, boots, and gloves.

On her chest was a white circular pad that had a microchip beeping inside of it. A Simulation Unit that manipulated the Gravitron's surroundings with just a tap of the instrument. Taliyah was beginning to grow agitated of her sweaty palms, so she removed her gloves and threw them aside. Taliyah had also removed her tail and Jutus' as well. There was no point anymore for they had never bothered to transform before. No use for it now, even if there was a full moon on Earth. She brushed a strand of sweat soaken hair away from her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. She looked over at the panel for the gravity control.

~ 800 G ~

It had been 4 hours since she started to train while Jutus rested up. The energy jump from the stone had pushed her up a notch, but a notch wasn't going to be enough against these new foes so she had to exhert her body to the limit. If there was one. She had been born into a good and noble family. Her father, Aveh, was a well respected man then. Director of the army of Saiyans who would conquer lands outside of Saiyan territory. And Raco, that piss bucket, killed him just because he had wanted the job.

Taliyah felt her energy boil inside her, and the anger surfaced as she screamed, throwing her hands into the air and letting her cry echo against the walls of the training room. Columns of lighting rose from the tiled floor and began to strike against the room's walls, cracks and pieces of the tile crumbling to the floor. She continued to scream, the waves rattling the entire ship!

Her energy began to go even higher and along with the columns of electricity, there were now columns of fire. The blazes of burning flames swirled all around her, as well as the lightning, but she didn't care. She was mad. Even though she had taken care of Raco 35 years ago, the recollection of it all was torturous, knowing her father's life was taken in vain. Killed. Just because of the rank someone else wanted.

Then her mother Ignas died soon after. Grieving day in and day out until one day, Taliyah came home from class to find her mother cold and clammy in the bed. Dead. A death that was proved to also be in vain. Ignas was well known around Vegeta too. She worked in the Technological field, creating scouters and the best pod ships. She designed training facilities and field exercises for the children who wished to be part of the Elite, but had not yet made the final cut. Ignas too was gone, never to return to this dimension.

Taliyah's screams grew louder and she felt her muscles burn and grow larger. Her eyes flickered from jade to violet and then remained as jade. Her banes began to turn upward, some staying on her face, and then they glowed a bright yellow. Taliyah's red ki flames began to change into a golden aura around her as her feet crushed into the ground, tile pieces rising along with the amazing energy eminating from her. The blood of her ancestors were pumping furiously in her veins. She had finally done it. Taliyah, was a Super Saiyan.

* * * * * *

Nina floated down from the sky and landed on the ground. She released Pan from her protective arms, though she stayed near in case something else were to happen. Trunks, Goten and Lei were at their sides soon, shocked expressions all over their faces. They couldn't believe this girl had knocked them over so many feet away, and just with her energy! She was alot powerful than she was letting on, that was for sure.

Kino got up from her crouch and dusted off her hands. She was quite impressed with these newcomers. But this was no time to be amused by their power. She knew that this was only the beginning. The real fireworks were going to start in just a moment, and they weren't going to be pretty either. Surprisingly though, Kino was ready for anything. Even her demise.

Jarvus remained in the air, arms crossed as he blew a strand of his silver hair from his view. These guys were gonna be tough, yes-sir-ree. They may look weak, but he could sense that they were hiding something, and they were enjoying the fact of keeping him and the others in suspense. Jarvus was gonna make sure that they have the fight of their lives, to the very end. He never cared about dying at all, death never scared him. He was always prepared for it, whether it lashed at him from behind or right in his face. Jarvus knew there would be a time when he would die and he wasn't expecting it to be the 'Growing Old' bit neither.

Goku and Gohan looked at each Saiyan child, admiring their unbreakable courage. Had they known these 3 were on the Earth at the time of all the adventures, they would have brought them along. It would have made the jobs easier and there probably wouldn't have been so many casualties. Goku and Gohan let that sudden thought sink in hard.

Gohan's eyebrows furrowed. "Uh, Dad?"

Goku turned to look at him. "Yes Gohan?"

"Have you ever wondered, if all this time these 3 have been here, why haven't they ever helped us against the people who were threats to Earth?" he inquired.

Goku placed a hand on his chin. "Now that you mention it, it did cross my mind once or twice." he replied. "But remember Son, they are younger than you and I. I believe that older one there must have been around 4 or 5 when Cell was here. He couldn't possibly have helped us in a way that would have been useful." Goku then explained.

Gohan nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But what about their parents? They were here for awhile before they passed away, wonder why they didn't?"

"I don't know Gohan. But whatever reason it might have been, they've taken that secret to the grave."

* * * * * *

Jutus felt the ship quaver around him, making him nearly lose his balance. It wasn't everyday he wished his tail were around to support him if he fell. But fortunately he kept upright. What had caused the ship to jerk like that? Could it be that they were in the middle of a magnetic storm, or perhaps an asteroid field? Whatever it was, he had to go on the main deck and make sure they weren't knocked off of their destination route.

As he was going to the elevator, he felt a phenominal strength coming from the Gravitron where Taliyah was training. He peeked in through the window and saw her screaming, hair flaming up and gold, eyes burning like green jewels. He couldn't believe it! She had reached Super Saiyan.

Taliyah began to grow weary as the flames started to spurt. She was falling out for she had exherted herself beyond control. Her body wasn't used to so much power. Soon her hair fell back to its original brown and her eyes returned to their shimmery violet. Her eyes half lidded, she soon collapsed onto the floor in an exhausted, sweating heap on the floor. Bits and pieces of the floating tiled fell on top of her and small chinks were heard as they collected around her. Body completely numb, she didn't feel anything, not even the cold floor or the moisture of her own sweat against her.

Jutus slammed against the door, knocking it onto the floor and him with it. He quickly scrambled off of the door and clawed his way over to his wife. She was breathing heavily, as though she were dying. Jutus dragged her off of the floor, trying to shake her awake in the process. She just mumbled something inaudible and her head fell against Jutus' chest. He smiled. Sound asleep. Well there was one good thing coming from all of this. Taliyah was getting her worth of many years of no rest alot these days.

He picked her up and carried her to the bed chambers and laid her on the bed. Jutus then stripped off her body suit and placed it into a laundry basket against the wall. She rolled over onto her stomach, entire body bare except for the underwear she wore. Jutus smiled at how smooth her sand colored skin was, hardly a blemish on her body, just bruises that were going to fade after awhile. Taliyah clutched herself and began to shiver.

Better get her into some warm clothes. he thought. But first I better clean her up.

He looked in one of the dressers and got out a fresh, warm towel and cleaned off the sweat from Taliyah's body. Then he looked in one of the closets and found a silken garment that looked like a bed spread but had a hole in the center and 2 angular cuts had been made from the edge of the garment. Obviously where the arms were to come out of. Jutus slipped the cloak-like garment over Taliyah's head and she instantly relaxed against the fabric's softness. Jutus pulled back the covers, tucked Taliyah in and kissed her gently against the forehead. Then he cut out the lights and left quietly.

After he checked to make sure they were on the right course to Earth, he went into the gravity room and tried his best to fix the door. Then he set the Gravitron for 800 times normal gravity waves, pulled his hair into a tight ponytail and placed the Simulation Unit onto his chest. "I've got training to do"

* * * * * *

Tessay walked up to Cougar and placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to nearly jump out of her skin. Cougar slashed her claws at Tessay but she caught her paw just before it hit her face. She gave a sigh of relief.

"It's only you Tessay. For a second I thought you were one of those 3 kids. Don't sneak up on me like that!" she hissed.

Tessay shrugged. "It's not my fault that you're so jumpy. Anyway, I came to ask if you'd wait until I had a little test of my own against them. Then we'll start having some real fun, okay?" she asked.

Cougar huffed. "Man! I wanted to play!" she complained. "Okay, I guess so."

"Thank you Cougar." she said, and walked out ahead of her comrades.

Nina's eyes narrowed as Tessay approached them. "What's she up to?" she muttered.

Tessay walked towards the Z fighters as they were starting to get over the sudden shock of their launchings. The others started to surround her, making sure she didn't do anything hostile. Nina, Kino, and Jarvus kept an especially close watch on her. If one enemy attacked, then the others would as well.

Tessay enjoyed the fact that she was being surrounded, and out numbered at that. She decided to test the 3 young Saiyans' skills a bit further. She could have cared less about the other Saiyans, they were of no threat to her. But the ones she was assigned to kill, they proved to have alot more power than they were letting on.

Tessay grinned. "Watch this." she said as she held up her hand, palm up to the sky.

Energy began to collect around her hand, a red-yellowish flames created a hypnotic aura around it. Everyone got into a fighting position except for Nina, Kino, and Jarvus. They were the only ones who remained calm and alert. The fire-like energy started to grow even larger and then a flash of white sparks shot out from her hand. As the sparks began to clear, they saw a tennisball sized fire sphere floating above her hands. Then the ball began to float even higher above her palm.

Tessay looked around her. "Now, keep your eye on the fireball." she said in a childish tone.

The flaming ball of energy continued to rise and then it stopped for just a few seconds until it split in half, forming 2 energy sphere instead of 1. Then those 2 split in half now forming 4 energy flames. This process continued until there were 14 balls of fire were floating above her hand in a circular pattern. The very top fireball split in half and the 15th ball of flame was in the center of the flaming ring.

The balls began to rotate in a revolution, faster and faster until it looked like a pin wheel circling in the wind. The only thing that remained still was the fireball in the middle. The ring of fire started to float from Tessay's hand over her head, now flat on a horizontal postition, moving like a hoola-hoop on fire. Then the ring moved from one side of her body to the next in a springy motion, just inches from hitting the ground. Suddenly, they all circled around Tessay and the single sphere that was in the center floated over her head while the others spun around her. The others looked at her, wondering what sort of attack this was.

Just then, all the spheres shot out at the Z warriors. They all got into a fighting stance, trying to block the impact. Nina remained still as the fireball headed towards her face. Kino braced herself for impact, as well as Jarvus. Just when the flaming balls reached less than an inch away from the Z warriors' noses, the ball took a sudden dive near their feet and smashed into the ground, burrowing under the earth. Everyone blinked a few times, wondering what had happened to the energy balls.

A spark flickered in Nina's mind. "EVERYONE! INTO THE SKY AND SPREAD OUT NOW!" she shouted.

The others looked at her, but did not move. The earth suddenly began to rumble and shake beneath their feet. Everyone began to quaver from the sudden tremulous activity occuring, their insides being rattled as well. Lei was the first to take off into the sky, followed by Goten, Trunks, and then the others. Nina was the last to take off into the air.

Tessay's eyes narrowed. This girl is spoiling my fun. Better make the balls split apart now. she thought.

The earth continued to rumble, Tessay still in the center of the small ring of holes that surrounded her. Everyone in the sky began to spread out amongst themselves, Nina staying closer to some of the others in case she had to move them out of the way. Down below, into the Earth's soil, the ball shaped flames began to multiply.

Nina looked around her surroundings. "Alright everyone, when I give the signal I want you all to dive into the center and attack the enemy." she explained. "Watch out for the--" but she was soon cut off.

A loud explosion was heard and suddenly, columns upon columns of flaming pillars shot up from the ground and headed straight for the Z fighters. Boiling like lava sticks, the blazing fire columns tried to scorch the fighters. They dodged as many as they could, some rising higher to get away from the flames. Nina grabbed Trunks and Pan by the hands and pulled them to her sides as an unknown column of fire sprung up to claim their lives. They looked at her, gratitude and appall written clearly on their faces.

Nina let go of them and started to dive. "NOW!" she shouted, and began to gather energy for her fierce attack.

A ball of blue energy glowed viciously in her curled hands. "KAAAA!" Nina screamed as the energy grew larger.

"MEEEEIIII!" Beams of light began to shoot from the ever growing ball of energy.

Nina plummetted towards the ground. "HAAAAA!" Towards her enemy.

She continued to yell as the blue energy ball began to grow bigger and more powerful.

"MEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

Tessay looked above into the sky and saw nothing but a giant blue energy ball being formed. A drop of sweat formed on her brow as the blast came closer, her flaming columned creations being a wall of inferno around her, but it could not protect her. She was open to Nina's deadly attack.
