A woman with blue hair was sitting by a table holding onto a baby with blue hair. She stood up and approached the group with the baby girl in her arms, “Vegeta! Where did you run off to? I need you to watch the baby because I’m late for an important meeting.” Goku waved to the woman in a casual manner, “Yo! Bulma. How’s little Bulla?” Bulma handed Bulla off to Vegeta who despite his tough demeanor very carefully took the little girl in his arms much to her delight. Bulma looked to Goku and caught sight of Korian and Shihori standing behind him. “Goku, are you bringing strange aliens to my house again?” Goku chuckled and turned to introduce them to Bulma, “Not at all. This is Korian and his daughter Shihori, they’re Saiyans from Universe 9.” Bulma looked shocked as he eyes went between Goku, Korian and Shihori, especially falling onto Shihori and her rabbit ears. “Ehhhh?! Since when did Saiyans start sporting those?” Shihori stepped forward and removed her gloves to politely offer her hand to Bulma, “Pleased to meet you, ma’am. I’m Shihori. I’m half-Saiyan and I get these bad boys from my mom.” Bulma shook Shihori’s hand and laughed heartily at her forward and casual demeanor. “Oh, aren’t you just the cutest. Pleased to meet you, Shihori. I’m Bulma. Vegeta over there is my husband so I guess you could say I know a thing or two about half-Saiyan children.” She thumb-pointed over to Vegeta who noticed the gesture but decided to ignore it as he continued to be a good father and mind Bulla. Korian stepped up and offered his hand to Bulma as well, “Pleased to meet you, young miss. I’m Korian.” Bulma smiled and took Korian by the hand. “Oh, my so flattering. Pleased to meet you, Korian.” Bulma turned to Goku and Vegeta and gave her marching orders, “You two make sure they feel at home. I’ll be back in a few hours.” Bulma’s demeanor changed back to sweet as she waved goodbye to Shihori. “See you later.” Goku turned to Korian and clapped him on the back, “I gotta hear your story of how there are other Saiyans out there.” Just then a group of others joined them on the patio, a boy with purple hair, another boy that looked remarkably like Goku, along with a young girl in a trench coat, a small blue impish looking boy, and what appeared to be a dog wearing a ninja costume. The boy with dark hair called out to Goku, “Dad! I didn’t know you were here what’s going on….” He stopped in his tracks as he caught sight of Shihori, time seemed to slow down as she took notice and turned to face him. Her dark brown hair flowing as if being tossed in a hair commercial and her bright red eyes batting her eyelashes at him. “Uhhhhhhhh” The others in the group stopped and the boy with the purple hair poked his friend in the arm, “Goten? Are you okay?” Goten looked like a zombie as he continued to stare at Shihori. Goku and Korian just looked at each other awkwardly and Shihori started to feel uncomfortable that she was being stared at so much. Finally, Goten came to his senses when his friend smacked him across the back. “Snap out of it man.” Shihori stepped forward and squared off with Goten and his purple haired friend. They seemed to be sizing each other up and unable to make the first move. The purple haired friend stared at her bright red eyes and rabbit ears, “Who’re you and why do you have rabbit ears on your head?” Shihori suddenly felt a tinge of shyness come over her, it must be because the other boy was staring at her so much. “Um, I’m Shihori and those are my ears.” He stepped up and took a walk around her like he was inspecting something he wanted to buy. “Just where do you come from?” Goten was fidgeting with his hands and shyly avoided making eye contact with Shihori who did her best to do the same. “I’m from Universe 9. Just what are you doing?!” She stopped and smacked at his hand when he reached out to her gi to lift it up and take a peek at her legs. The young girl in the trench coat stepped forward and snatched the purple haired boy by the ear and pulled him aside, “Trunks don’t be rude!” Trunks gave a wince of pain and rubbed his ear looking annoyed at her, “What?! I’m just being curious.” The girl stepped forward and introduced herself with a handshake, “Hello, Shihori. I’m Mai.” She pointed to the one with the purple hair, “That’s Trunks, he’s Vegeta and Bulma’s son.” She made a face at him but turned to Goten, “This is Goten, he’s Goku’s son.” She gestured behind her to the other two who gave a shy wave, “Those are my friends Pilaf and Shu.” Shihori waved back to the pair and looked to Mai who she seemed to like because of her caring attitude, “It’s nice to meet you, Mai. Thank you everyone for having us.” She bowed politely which shocked the group but caused Trunks to laugh out loud. “You’re alright, Shihori. Would you like to come hang out with us?” Goten stepped forward finally finding the courage to introduce himself properly, “I’m Goten, you should come hang out it’ll be lots of fun.” Shihori didn’t know what to say but Goten reached out for her hand and took it which made her blush. He started blushing as well, but the group ran off back into the house with Trunks leading the way. Shihori looked back to Korian who smiled and nodded to her to go have fun. He couldn’t remember the last time she was allowed to just be a kid.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">A while later, Korian was sitting down with Goku and Vegeta explaining his origins about how he was born to parents from this universe and somehow ended up being sent off to Universe 9 in a pod. He got up to the point where he told them about how he met Towa and Mira and everything about Sorrel. Goku stopped him for a moment, “Sorrel? You said she’s a rabbit?” Korian nodded “By any chance did you two fight in the Tournament of Power?” Vegeta shot him a look and Goku looked pleased, “So you know about that?” Korian shrugged, “Only what she told me because she was on the team for Universe 9.” Vegeta scoffed at the notion, “They were the first ones to get wiped out. Don’t tell me THAT rabbit was your wife?” Korian gave Vegeta a look like he didn’t appreciate his tone, but he nodded. “Yeah, THAT rabbit was my wife.” Goku remembered just then and tapped his fist against his open palm, “Ahh! Now I remember she was fightin’ alongside Bergamo and his brothers. Yeah they got wiped out pretty fast.” Korian made a face like he was defeated and sank down in his chair. Vegeta stood up from the table, “Hold on to your Saiyan pride. I can tell you care about your wife and daughter. At least I can respect that much.” Vegeta turned and began to walk back into the house since Bulma reappeared near the doorway to the patio. Goku stood up himself and called out to Bulma, “Bulma, got anythin’ to eat? I’m starvin’!” Korian’s stomach began to growl at the mere mention of food which caused Goku to erupt in laughter and clap him on the shoulder.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Everyone was sitting around the table outside on the patio early in the evening to have a nice welcome meal for their new guests. Goku had gone to retrieve his wife Chi-Chi so she could serve up some of her home cooking and not worry about Goten. Shihori and Korian sat side by side looking at the enormous spread of food of all different sorts. Both their mouths were watering at the sight of such amazing treats “Papa, this is amazing. This is the most food I’ve ever seen in my whole life.” Korian nodded in agreeance with her “This is crazy. I can’t wait to see how much of it I can eat.” Trunks was across the table seated next to Goten who was directly across from Shihori. Mai was helping Chi-Chi serve all the food and once finished she took up a seat next to Shihori. They smiled at one another as they had quickly become friends over the course of the afternoon. Even Goten who was previously acting shy had started to warm up to Shihori more and was making small talk between her and Trunks. Korian smiled and enjoyed the sight of his daughter making friends her age, he knew Sorrel would be so pleased to see how she had grown as a person. Suddenly, Bulma stood up at the center of the table and raised her glass up, “I’d like to propose a toast. Here’s to our new friends Korian and Shihori, you’re most welcome here, but only because Shihori is just the cutest little bunny girl I’ve ever seen.” This made Shihori blush with embarrassment as Korian and Goku thought her lame joke was nothing but hilarious. Vegeta remained his usual serious self but nodded to Korian when he met his gaze. “Let’s eat everyone!” Bulma called out and in no time at all Goku had pounced on the food like a hungry predator ambushing its prey, he began plating up heaping portions of food which he took to inhaling in single bites. Korian and Shihori wasted no time in following suit and began to dig into mountains of food including rice, fish, soup, and dumplings. Shihori was so amazed by the quality of the cooking that she had tears of joy in her eyes above her stuffed cheeks “It’s so good.” Korian was seeing just how much he could eat as he had no been getting his normal servings of food for close to an entire year now. Trunks and Goten were amazed to see someone other that their fathers put away food like that but were especially struck by Shihori’s Saiyan-like appetite. Trunks called out to her between bites of food, “Shihori, you’re a petite girl. Where do you put it all?” Shihori continued to munch and shrugged at Trunks’ question. She washed down her current portion with an entire glass of water. “Maybe if you ate more you wouldn’t be so short for a boy your age.” She smirked at Trunks which drew a chuckle from Mai. He looked taken aback and grew irritated by her poking fun at him. “Aww come on Trunks, I’m only teasing you. Mai likes short guys.” Both Mai and Trunks became red in the face with embarrassment and refused to look at one another. Goku tried to strike up conversation with Korian with his mouth full and Korian mumbled back to him with his mouth stuffed with dumplings. Chi-Chi groaned to herself at the sight of her husband’s poor table manners, “You two! Swallow, now!” Korian and Goku paused and each took a big gulp which downed their mouth full of food, respectively. “Sorry, honey. I was saying I want to take you guys somewhere special tomorrow. I’d really like to spar with you and see what the Saiyans of Universe 9 have to offer.” Korian smirked appreciatively, “I was hoping you’d ask to fight because I was thinking the same thing.” The two grown men looked giddy like a couple of teenage girls about to go out on a date. This drew eye rolls from Chi-Chi and Bulma who continued polite conversation mostly centered around how Gohan was doing and how big Bulla was getting. Vegeta called out to Korian, “You were saying earlier about this demon you keep encountering. Just what does she want with the Super Dragon Balls?” Korian stopped eating as the entire table grew quiet to hear the answer, “I’m not sure but in the past before they seemed to be after collecting and storing energy for some use in the Demon realm. Whatever she’s up to it can’t be good.” Vegeta contemplated this, “I’ll kill her myself if it comes to it. I can’t believe a full-blooded Saiyan warrior would be vexed by a mere woman.” Bulma began to angrily loom over her husband with her fist clenched “Just what do you mean, Vegeta?” Vegeta raised his hands in surrender and backed down off his comment, “Well, the thing is, you know the whole size issue….” He just quit while he was ahead and crossed his arms with a “Hmph.” Bulma backed off as well and looked at Shihori and her damaged clothes she was wearing, “Don’t you have any more clothes, sweetie?” Shihori shook her head which made Bulma accusingly point at Korian, “What kind of a father are you? Having your daughter walk around in tatters.” Korian looked caught off guard by Bulma’s comment and pointed to himself like ‘Who? Me?’ She sighed and cracked her knuckles, “Alright, I’ll make you something special. Just wait a few days.” Shihori chuckled at Bulma lambasting her dad and she couldn’t help but enjoy at the wonderful treatment they were receiving here on Earth. She caught Goten looking at her again who quickly looked away. This made her smile even more.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">After dinner all the adults were gathered around having idle chit chat, meanwhile the teens had broken off from the main group and had made their way up to the domed roof of the main Capsule Corporation building. The four persons present were Trunks, Mai, Goten, and Shihori. Shu and Pilaf decided to occupy their time elsewhere, Mai had suggested that Pilaf was planning a get rich quick scheme that she found no interest in being party to, it seemed these days she much preferred Trunks’ company. Trunks it seemed at the time had at least found some gumption to pay attention to Mai and even attempted to cozy up to his “girlfriend.” Shihori and Goten were sitting next to one another but with a person sized gap between the two of them. It became quite awkward as neither of them spoke and each time they looked in the other’s direction Shihori only managed to give Goten a shy smile. Goten began to slide his way closer to her and unexpectedly placed his hand onto Shihori’s when he sidled himself a bit too close. Shihori looked to him with shock and she began to blush profusely. Goten’s expression on the other hand was one of pure dread as if the world was about to come crashing down around him. He quickly pulled his hand back, “I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to…” Her eyes fell back down, she tried to hide her smile against her tucked in knees, “It’s okay.” Goten swallowed hard and felt like his heart resettled in his chest. “Shihori? Do you mind if I ask you a question?” She turned her head slightly and her bright red eyes fell back onto Goten, “Go ahead, I don’t mind.” Goten took a deep breath and let it all out at once, “Doyouhaveanyoneyoulikebackhome?” Even with her sensitive rabbit hearing she didn’t quite catch what he was saying. “Umm I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.” Goten exhaled and muttered to himself, “okay you’ve got this.” Then he made another attempt except slower and more nervous this time, “Do you…. Shihori…. I mean, do you have anyone that you…. ummm…. like…. like…back home?” She still wasn’t completely sure what he was trying to ask her, but she took an educated guess, “Like like? You mean like a boy?” She felt embarrassed and shook her head, trying to hide her expression. Goten looked like he was ready to pass out but Shihori beat him to the punch on the next round, “Is that how you feel?” Goten nodded his head slowly and Shihori looked at him with a thoughtful expression, “I like you Goten. You’re a really nice guy, but we just met one another. You don’t know anything about me.” Goten’s heart sank and it felt like a stone that was sinking into a bottomless abyss. “But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to get to you know better.” Goten tried to think quickly on his feet when she offered him a glimmer of hope, “How about when we beat the demons and you get to wish back your mom, after that, maybe we can go out on a date?” Shihori was a little shocked that she was asked out on a date for the first time in her life. What little she knew about courtship involved her mother hilariously recounting how she and her father met one another. It was anything but your typical date. Now that the tables were turned, she did the only thing that she could think of doing, she giggled. At first Goten looked defeated but Shihori excused herself profusely, “No, no, I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that I’ve never been asked out on an actual date before and its funny to me.” Goten breathed a sigh of relief that she didn’t find him to be a clown. “I can’t imagine why because you’re so beautiful.” Shihori’s face turned as red as her eye color the instant he complimented her appearance. She waved her hands for him to stop, “Okay, okay, I give up. I’ll go out on a date with you.” He beamed like he had just won the grand prize and surprised her further still by taking her by the hand. She was surprised at first, but it was an innocent gesture which she was more than happy to allow. She smiled to herself and the two enjoyed stargazing with one another, hand in hand.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Early the next day, Goku had arrived to take Korian, Shihori, and Vegeta up to the Lookout to visit with Kami and get in some training. Korian and Shihori were taken aback by the appearance of Dende and Mr. Popo, but they both seemed very well mannered. “Guys, this is Dende, he’s Earth’s God.” Korian and Shihori both gave a polite bow to Dende who smiled, “No need to be so formal. It’s a pleasure to meet someone from another universe.” Korian nodded and explained, “I’m originally from this one but some bad stuff happened with my parents and I grew up in Universe 9. It’s alright though because if none of that bad stuff would have happened, I wouldn’t have met my wife and had my little honey bunny, Shihori.” He put his arm around her, she sunk her face into her hand, “Papa, you can be so embarrassing sometimes.” The others just chuckled while Vegeta stood off in the distance with his arms crossed. Goku socked his fist into his hand, “Let’s get down to trainin.’ What I want is for both of you to attack me. I’d like to see how strong you guys are, so I know what we have to work with if we fight this demon.” Korian blinked and Shihori held up her hands like ‘Wait a minute,’ “You want both of us to attack you? At the same time?” Goku put his hands on his hips and nodded sharply, “Uh huh. Don’t worry about me.” Shihori shrugged, “Your funeral.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The three of them spread apart the grounds of the Lookout and took their fighting stances. Goku called out from the opposite side, “Whenever you’re ready!” Korian and Shihori gave each other a nod and took off in flight as they crisscrossed paths and came at Goku at full speed. They each got into close combat with him and the pair lashed out with lightning fast blows that were being evaded or otherwise deflected. “Shihori, now!” Korian grabbed onto his daughter’s hand and spun her around where she used the increased momentum to whip a kick that caught Goku directly on the chin. He stumbled back and smiled, “That’s the stuff. Let’s get more serious.” Goku quickly brought up his energy and transformed into a Super Saiyan which gave both Korian and Shihori momentary pause. They looked to one another at they both did the same in tandem and transformed into their Super Saiyan forms. The battle picked up pace as they three of them bounded around the area at such a rapid pace that it caused a wind to kick up as they passed Dende and Mr. Popo on the ground. Shihori being the smaller and faster of the two came in low snapping a kick square for Goku’s chest, but he was luring her in and he grabbed her up by the leg and spun her around into her Korian who caught her against his chest with an “OMPF!” Goku was right there and smashed Korian down into the Lookout with a thunderous clap. Shihori rolled off her downed father who was coughing up dust and groaning in pain, “That was smarts.” Goku was hovering in the air a short distance away, “Had enough yet?” Shihori increased her power even further and transformed into Super Saiyan 2. Her longer hair sparking with electrical discharge. Goku seemed impressed by her but the real shock came when Korian’s transformation went from gold to red. His hair fell back to its normal shape and he looked up to Goku with crimson red eyes. Vegeta was surprised as well that another Saiyan had attained the transformation of Super Saiyan God, he smiled to himself and continued to watch the fight. “This ought to be good.” Korian lead the charge into Goku with Shihori hot on his heels, they were both striking out at Goku with such speed and power that it was difficult to keep up. A few punches from each had gotten through his guard and while he was stunned, Korian swung his leg up high and brought a sharp axe kick down right on top of his head which crushed Goku into the Lookout. The entire platform shook from the force of that blow and Mr. Popo looked scared they might end up destroying the place. Goku stood up coughing and dusted off his gi, he looked up to the two Saiyans in the sky. “Right. No more fooling around. It’s about time I take you serious.” He spread his stance and cocked his fists at his side as she raised his power level to astonishing heights unlike the two had ever felt before. Goku send out waves of godly ki which washed over his form and turned his golden aura and hair blue. Shihori stepped up to meet the task but Korian grabbed her by the shoulder, “Wait, Shihori. Are you sure it’s okay to push that far?” Shihori gave him a smile, “It’s okay, I can handle short periods of time no problem.” Korian stepped back from his daughter as she powered up even further, her golden aura taking on a jagged flame like appearance the electrical discharge crackled off her body, “HAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Her hair grew out past her waist as she completed the transformation to Super Saiyan 3. “Alright, Son Goku. This is as high as I can go. Show me what you’ve got.” Goku was amazed by her being able to handle Super Saiyan 3 at such a young age but just smiled as he readied to meet her attack. As Shihori and Goku mixed it up in friendly combat, Korian used the time to take a deep breath and focus his ki needed to transform himself. He had only done it a few times after his fight with Mira, but he knew he could handle this much. “HAAAAAAA!!!!” He sent his powering rushing forth like he was transforming into Super Saiyan but let it mix with his godly ki. His aura washed up his body and turned blue including his eyes and hair. Vegeta’s normal stoic demeanor broke at that point, “What?! He can do that?!” As Shihori was getting beaten down to her knees by Goku’s overwhelming power, Korian came in with a fierce right fist that smashed Goku across the jaw and sent him tumbling across the grounds of the Lookout. Shihori climbed to her feet with a hand up from Korian and the pair looked to each other with Shihori stating, “Time to finish this with a bang.” Brought of them mirrored each other’s hand movements as they brought up each hand charged with energy and as their hands pushed out met in front of their bodies at the wrists they called out, “Kyubiko-HA!!!!” and two large blue beams shot out for Goku who cupped his hands at his side, “KAME…HAME…HAAAAA!” He shot his hands forward and an enormous blue energy wave collided into their two beams which pressed them both backwards under the intense pressure. Not long after Shihori’s arms began to shake and she collapsed down to her knees and out of Super Saiyan 3, “I’m sorry, Papa. Anymore wouldn’t be safe.” Korian didn’t take his attention away from Goku whose attack drew nearer and nearer, “It’s okay. Get clear!” Shihori flew away from the beam clash and settled near Vegeta who gave her a studious look like he was still observing her abilities. Just before Korian was overwhelmed by Goku’s attack it stopped completely and he broke off his own attack as he collapsed to his knees completely out of breath. Goku calmly walked over now in his base form while Korian’s god ki faded from his body and his hair fell back to dark brown. “That was pretty impressive. I can’t believe both of you managed so much on your own.” Goku reached out to help Korian to his feet, who wiped his sweated brow with the back of his arm. “Kakarot, just where do you get all that power?” Goku chuckled to himself, “Practice and lots of battles but mostly practice. I love pushing myself to see how far I can go, don’t you?” Korian smirked as they were rejoined by Shihori and Vegeta. “If you’re both up for it, I think Dende would be willing to let you use the Room of Spirit and Time to help you in your training.” Korian and Shihori looked at one another utterly confused but fortunately Dende overheard Goku’s offer with his sharp Namekian ears. “So nice of you to destroy parts of the Lookout again Son Goku.” He sighed and turned his attention to Korian and Shihori, “The Room of Spirit and Time is an extra-dimensional space where you can get an entire year’s worth of training for just one day in real world time.” Korian looked amazed and ready to jump at the opportunity but Dende interjected, “But be mindful it is not for the weak minded as the extreme changes inside and endless abyss inside the room can drive you mad.” Korian gave Shihori a look of concern but her serious expression turned to one of confidence as she reached out to fist bump him, “I’m game if you are, Papa.” Korian smiled proudly back to his daughter and bumped her fist. Goku gave them a thumbs up and Vegeta eyed the pair as they headed off. Dende guided them to the entrance to the room and Mr. Popo opened the door for them, “You can spend up to a total of three days in chamber at any given time. Please pay attention to the sand hour glasses in the room as they will run out completely at the end of every year you spend in there.” Shihori walked into the room and Korian stopped at the door to turn around and wave to Goku and Vegeta, “See you in a few years, I guess.” Korian entered the room and the wooden door closed shut behind him. Inside the room Shihori was standing at the edge of what appeared to be living quarters and was staring off into an endless white abyss. “It goes on forever. Now I know what Dende meant that it can drive you mad.” Korian put a hand on her shoulder, “We’ve got each other and that’s what matters most.” Shihori smiled and hugged her father before she leapt into the room itself and took a fighting stance. “Time is wasting, Papa. Let’s get to training!”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><em>Demon Realm</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">It had taken more than a day for her powers to return to full strength and as time went on, she felt her body begin to stabilize to the new energies even further than before. Towa ran a hand up her face and back across her long white hair as if she was enjoying an entirely new sensation. She opened her purple eyes and the red markings had reappeared under her eyelids again. She turned her attention to the group of Majin she had created with her stronger dark magic. Each vicious beast a different color and willing to do its master’s bidding. “We’re coming for you, Korian. Just you wait.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><em>Planet Earth, </em>three days later</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Goku and Vegeta were sparring on the Lookout with one another much to the chagrin of Dende and Mr. Popo. Vegeta smashed a left hook into Goku’s face who took it with a grin and charged forward to trade blows with Vegeta. Dende called out to them, “Vegeta, Bulma is here.” This brought the Prince to a screeching halt as he lowered himself down to the ground followed by Goku. He was met by Bulma who was holding onto Bulla, she was also accompanied by Goten and Trunks who were carrying a few crates off her Capsule 576 plane. “So, this is where you two have been the past few days. I swear Vegeta would it kill you to pick up a phone and call your wife?” Vegeta just groaned and tried to ignore her nagging which gave Goku a chuckle. Goten and Trunks set down the crates which drew Goku’s attention, “What are those, Bulma?” She smirked to herself and gave a haughty chuckle, “Why those are new battle suit designs for Korian and Shihori. I remember the last time you two clowns came out of there and were in complete shambles. I wouldn’t do that to my house guests.” Vegeta scoffed at the notion that he was in the same category as Kakarott. Mr. Popo waved his arms and called out to the group, “They’re coming out.” The gang hurried over to the door to the Room of Spirit and Time and inside the glowing white aura came a figure with spikey hair. Korian appeared from the room with his armor half broken off and his gi pants torn in several places. “Hey everyone.” Bulma nudged Vegeta with her elbow as if to say, ‘I told you so.’ Goten and Trunks looked around when Goten asked Korian, “Where’s Shihori?” Korian stepped aside and a silhouette darkened the shining doorway, Goten and Trunks couldn’t believe their eyes once she emerged. Shihori had grown much taller and had a womanlier figure. Her hair was longer and tied into a loose ponytail. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest to cover what was left of her clothing which was only a sports bra and her black compression shorts. She clung to her mother’s red scarf in her ripped gloves. Korian stepped up next to her and put an arm around her shoulders, “Don’t be shy, Shihori. No one here is judging you.” Shihori who used to be shorter than both Goten and Trunks at just over 4’2. She now came up to Korian’s shoulders as he stood 5’10 and she now stood to be 5’2. Looks like she took after her mother in the height department as Sorrel normally stood around 4’8. She sighed and uncrossed her arms revealing she had filled out her now tight-fitting bra, there were also noticeable battle scars which appeared like two claw marks on the sides of her abdomen from the time she fought Mak. Goten and Trunks’ jaws were on the ground, staring in astonishment in how she had grown in just three days’ time. It was like she had hit her teenage growth spurt all at once and had come out a completely different person. This made her profusely embarrassed to be seen this way, especially in front of a boy she liked. Bulma handed Bulla over to Vegeta and she stepped up to Shihori to cover her up with her own jacket. “Don’t worry dear. You just need a woman’s touch. Not some numb skull man who is going to have you walking around in your underwear!” She socked Korian in the arm and Shihori looked apologetically to her father for the abuse he was receiving from Bulma. “Sheesh.” The two ladies disappeared with Bulma carrying one of the crates into the Capsule 576 plane. Korian turned his attention back to Goku and Vegeta the latter of whom spoke first, “Well, have you mastered your Super Saiyan Blue form after all the time you spent in there?” Korian scratched his head and looked confused, “Blue?” Vegeta growled at him for his ignorance, “Yes, you dolt. Your Super Saiyan God transformation when you further transform with the power of a Super Saiyan. We call it Super Saiyan Blue.” Korian looked enlightened by this information, “Ooooh! Yeah, I suppose but I guess you’ll have to wait and see for yourself.” Goku gave him a thumbs up, “See Vegeta? I knew all he needed was a lil bit of trainin’.” Bulma returned with Shihori who was now fully dressed in her new battle uniform which replaced her shorts with black gi pants, they were of the same loose fit design like Korian wore, she wore a gold obi belt around her waist for a splash of color, white battle armor with gold trim that was of the same style as Vegeta’s, underneath which she wore a form fitting short sleeve black compression shirt, she was wearing identical white gloves but the boots bore golden tips that were of the same design as Vegeta’s. The construction of every piece of clothing was replaced with a stronger and lighter material. Korian looked at how Shihori was dressed and was shocked to see such a grown woman standing before him. Vegeta commented, “Now you look the part of a Saiyan warrior.” Shihori smirked and began to stretch in her new outfit, she thought that it felt light and was easy to move around. “Don’t hate me because I look better than you.” She said with a chuckle directed at Korian. “Aha, we’ll see about that kiddo.” Bulma kicked a crate over to Korian with her foot and when he opened it up, he felt like a kid in a candy store. “Wow, these are great. Thanks, Bulma!” She made a dismissive gesture with her hand, “Don’t mention it. Just remember my genius when you show it off in battle.” Korian turned back to the crate and pulled off his broken armor and continued to remove his soiled and tattered clothes until he was about remove his underwear. Shihori covered her eyes before she saw anything that would be burned into her memory forever. Bulma cried out, “Have you no decency?! There’s ladies present!” Bulla gave an infantile chuckle which prompted Korian to apologize as he pulled his scantily clad behind into the new navy blue gi pants that Bulma had designed. He continued and pulled on his new armor which was the same design as Vegeta’s and Shihori’s but remained the same black and gold color scheme as before. The boots were slightly altered to be the same design as Vegeta’s but remained black and were outlined with gold around the ankles like his previous boots. He slid on bracers that were identical to his previous ones but were made stronger and lighter. Korian stretched in his new armor design and gave an approving nod, “I can see why you favor Bulma’s work so much, Vegeta. I barely even notice I’m wearing it at all.” Vegeta smirked while he held onto Bulla, “Well, my wife is the smartest woman on the planet after all.” Bulma made a cutesy face toward Vegeta and took Bulla back from him, “Aww you hear that? Daddy says that Mommy is the smartest ever, yes he did.” Vegeta just crossed his arm and let out a scoff and muttered to himself, “Hmph. Don’t let it go to your head all at once.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">A few minutes later, Shihori had finally worked up the courage to approach Goten and Trunks. She wasn’t her usual energetic and tell-it-like-is self and it was confusing her why she felt she was so shy around these boys especially Goten. “Hey, Goten. Hey, Trunks. So, do you like my new look?” she tucked her arms behind her back like she was showing off her wardrobe, yet she was completely unaware that she was giving the two teenage boys quite the eyeful of chest. Both Goten and Trunks turned bright red and began to mutter like complete idiots unable to form words. She was waiting for a response and was puzzled by their reaction, but suddenly they were interrupted by the appearance of a tall green man wearing a white turban and cape. He came swooping in from the sky and came in for a graceful landing nearby. The boys turned their attention away from Shihori and Goten called out and began to wave, “Mister Piccolo! Long time no see.” They had his attention and the very tall green man who looked a lot like Dende stopped nearby Shihori, taking a keen interest in who this stranger was the two looked at one another rather curiously “Hello boys. Who is your new friend?” Goten stepped up next to Shihori and put his hand on her shoulder, “Mister Piccolo, this is Shihori, she’s half-Saiyan like us but her mom is a rabbit.” Piccolo looked quite imposing as he took this information in and eyed her, “Is that so?” Shihori gave him a stiff upper lip and stuck out a hand for him to shake, “Pleased to meet you, Mister Piccolo, I’m Shihori, we’re from Universe 9.” Piccolo smirked and shook her hand, “Likewise. I hope you’re staying out of trouble. I know all too well what kind of ugliness stirs when you get a bunch of Saiyans together.” Shihori took it as a joke and gave him a cocky sneer, “I laugh in the face of danger.” Goten thought she was being too cool right now and Trunks just rolled his eyes at her overt attempt. “Well kids, let me go see what your parents are up to. Be seeing you around, Shihori.” Piccolo gave her a polite nod and went to see Dende and the other adults over the Bulma’s plane. Trunks was inspired by Shihori’s attempt to show off and suddenly got a bright idea to shine. “Hey, you want to see something super cool?” He leaned into Goten and whispered something into his ear, “Right now? I mean I suppose we could.” Goten nodded to Trunks and turned his attention to Shihori, “Watch this you’re going to love it.” Trunks and Goten backed off a bit and got an equal number of steps away from one another. They began to slide towards one another complete in synch while rotating their arms up and around, “FU….” Then each both crossed both arms over their chests while lifting the inside facing leg, “SION…” then each both leaned toward one another with both arms outstretched while they touched the tips of each index finger, “HA!” There was a brilliant flash of like which caused Shihori to shield her eyes as well as grabbing the attention of everyone else on the Lookout. Once she could see again Shihori couldn’t believe her eyes, she was looking at a person who was a striking mixture of both Goten and Trunks blended together. The power that he radiated was unlike anything she had ever felt, it was so unique and strikingly strong. “Wha…. what just happened?” The boy with black and purple hair just snickered and threw her a peace sign, “We fused to create Earth’s ultimate warrior, Gotenks!” Shihori was dumbfounded such a flashy technique existed and blinked at Gotenks boasting. Korian ran over like a hyper-active child, “Lemme see! lemme see! Whoa, just how did you two do that? Aw that’s so cool!” Shihori sank her face down into her hand and shook her head, “Papa, you’re so embarrassing.” Gotenks thumbed his nose cockily and pointed at Korian, “Want to find out firsthand? How about you fight us, Korian? We’ll go full power!” Gotenks took a stance like he was about to build energy when Piccolo and Dende appeared next to them with the God of Earth looking rather distraught, “No! No! No! You two are not going to be doing that on the Lookout!” Gotenks looked defeated by the notion that he couldn’t show off his strength, one couldn’t help but think that was the Goten part of him wanting to look cool in front of Shihori while simultaneously impressing her dad. Korian shrugged as he wasn’t going to argue with Earth’s God, “Some other time then.” Shihori stepped up to Gotenks and held out a fist against his chest, “Maybe some time we can try fusing.” Gotenks turned bright red in the face and got a bloody nose at the mere notion that a girl wanted to try fusing. Shihori chuckled as she wondered what part of him was more embarrassed by the idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><em>Universe 7</em>, the other side of the galaxy</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Towa clutched onto her staff as she waved her hands in front of her body as if she was conducting music.

[QUOTE="India Actual, post: 1663, member: 80"] [B][SIZE=4]Chapter 7: (Part 2)[/SIZE][/B] [I][FONT=verdana]Earth[/FONT][/I] [FONT=verdana] They reappeared suddenly on the patio of an enormous house in the middle of the day. A woman with blue hair was sitting by a table holding onto a baby with blue hair. She stood up and approached the group with the baby girl in her arms, “Vegeta! Where did you run off to? I need you to watch the baby because I’m late for an important meeting.” Goku waved to the woman in a casual manner, “Yo! Bulma. How’s little Bulla?” Bulma handed Bulla off to Vegeta who despite his tough demeanor very carefully took the little girl in his arms much to her delight. Bulma looked to Goku and caught sight of Korian and Shihori standing behind him. “Goku, are you bringing strange aliens to my house again?” Goku chuckled and turned to introduce them to Bulma, “Not at all. This is Korian and his daughter Shihori, they’re Saiyans from Universe 9.” Bulma looked shocked as he eyes went between Goku, Korian and Shihori, especially falling onto Shihori and her rabbit ears. “Ehhhh?! Since when did Saiyans start sporting those?” Shihori stepped forward and removed her gloves to politely offer her hand to Bulma, “Pleased to meet you, ma’am. I’m Shihori. I’m half-Saiyan and I get these bad boys from my mom.” Bulma shook Shihori’s hand and laughed heartily at her forward and casual demeanor. “Oh, aren’t you just the cutest. Pleased to meet you, Shihori. I’m Bulma. Vegeta over there is my husband so I guess you could say I know a thing or two about half-Saiyan children.” She thumb-pointed over to Vegeta who noticed the gesture but decided to ignore it as he continued to be a good father and mind Bulla. Korian stepped up and offered his hand to Bulma as well, “Pleased to meet you, young miss. I’m Korian.” Bulma smiled and took Korian by the hand. “Oh, my so flattering. Pleased to meet you, Korian.” Bulma turned to Goku and Vegeta and gave her marching orders, “You two make sure they feel at home. I’ll be back in a few hours.” Bulma’s demeanor changed back to sweet as she waved goodbye to Shihori. “See you later.” Goku turned to Korian and clapped him on the back, “I gotta hear your story of how there are other Saiyans out there.” Just then a group of others joined them on the patio, a boy with purple hair, another boy that looked remarkably like Goku, along with a young girl in a trench coat, a small blue impish looking boy, and what appeared to be a dog wearing a ninja costume. The boy with dark hair called out to Goku, “Dad! I didn’t know you were here what’s going on….” He stopped in his tracks as he caught sight of Shihori, time seemed to slow down as she took notice and turned to face him. Her dark brown hair flowing as if being tossed in a hair commercial and her bright red eyes batting her eyelashes at him. “Uhhhhhhhh” The others in the group stopped and the boy with the purple hair poked his friend in the arm, “Goten? Are you okay?” Goten looked like a zombie as he continued to stare at Shihori. Goku and Korian just looked at each other awkwardly and Shihori started to feel uncomfortable that she was being stared at so much. Finally, Goten came to his senses when his friend smacked him across the back. “Snap out of it man.” Shihori stepped forward and squared off with Goten and his purple haired friend. They seemed to be sizing each other up and unable to make the first move. The purple haired friend stared at her bright red eyes and rabbit ears, “Who’re you and why do you have rabbit ears on your head?” Shihori suddenly felt a tinge of shyness come over her, it must be because the other boy was staring at her so much. “Um, I’m Shihori and those are my ears.” He stepped up and took a walk around her like he was inspecting something he wanted to buy. “Just where do you come from?” Goten was fidgeting with his hands and shyly avoided making eye contact with Shihori who did her best to do the same. “I’m from Universe 9. Just what are you doing?!” She stopped and smacked at his hand when he reached out to her gi to lift it up and take a peek at her legs. The young girl in the trench coat stepped forward and snatched the purple haired boy by the ear and pulled him aside, “Trunks don’t be rude!” Trunks gave a wince of pain and rubbed his ear looking annoyed at her, “What?! I’m just being curious.” The girl stepped forward and introduced herself with a handshake, “Hello, Shihori. I’m Mai.” She pointed to the one with the purple hair, “That’s Trunks, he’s Vegeta and Bulma’s son.” She made a face at him but turned to Goten, “This is Goten, he’s Goku’s son.” She gestured behind her to the other two who gave a shy wave, “Those are my friends Pilaf and Shu.” Shihori waved back to the pair and looked to Mai who she seemed to like because of her caring attitude, “It’s nice to meet you, Mai. Thank you everyone for having us.” She bowed politely which shocked the group but caused Trunks to laugh out loud. “You’re alright, Shihori. Would you like to come hang out with us?” Goten stepped forward finally finding the courage to introduce himself properly, “I’m Goten, you should come hang out it’ll be lots of fun.” Shihori didn’t know what to say but Goten reached out for her hand and took it which made her blush. He started blushing as well, but the group ran off back into the house with Trunks leading the way. Shihori looked back to Korian who smiled and nodded to her to go have fun. He couldn’t remember the last time she was allowed to just be a kid. A while later, Korian was sitting down with Goku and Vegeta explaining his origins about how he was born to parents from this universe and somehow ended up being sent off to Universe 9 in a pod. He got up to the point where he told them about how he met Towa and Mira and everything about Sorrel. Goku stopped him for a moment, “Sorrel? You said she’s a rabbit?” Korian nodded “By any chance did you two fight in the Tournament of Power?” Vegeta shot him a look and Goku looked pleased, “So you know about that?” Korian shrugged, “Only what she told me because she was on the team for Universe 9.” Vegeta scoffed at the notion, “They were the first ones to get wiped out. Don’t tell me THAT rabbit was your wife?” Korian gave Vegeta a look like he didn’t appreciate his tone, but he nodded. “Yeah, THAT rabbit was my wife.” Goku remembered just then and tapped his fist against his open palm, “Ahh! Now I remember she was fightin’ alongside Bergamo and his brothers. Yeah they got wiped out pretty fast.” Korian made a face like he was defeated and sank down in his chair. Vegeta stood up from the table, “Hold on to your Saiyan pride. I can tell you care about your wife and daughter. At least I can respect that much.” Vegeta turned and began to walk back into the house since Bulma reappeared near the doorway to the patio. Goku stood up himself and called out to Bulma, “Bulma, got anythin’ to eat? I’m starvin’!” Korian’s stomach began to growl at the mere mention of food which caused Goku to erupt in laughter and clap him on the shoulder. Everyone was sitting around the table outside on the patio early in the evening to have a nice welcome meal for their new guests. Goku had gone to retrieve his wife Chi-Chi so she could serve up some of her home cooking and not worry about Goten. Shihori and Korian sat side by side looking at the enormous spread of food of all different sorts. Both their mouths were watering at the sight of such amazing treats “Papa, this is amazing. This is the most food I’ve ever seen in my whole life.” Korian nodded in agreeance with her “This is crazy. I can’t wait to see how much of it I can eat.” Trunks was across the table seated next to Goten who was directly across from Shihori. Mai was helping Chi-Chi serve all the food and once finished she took up a seat next to Shihori. They smiled at one another as they had quickly become friends over the course of the afternoon. Even Goten who was previously acting shy had started to warm up to Shihori more and was making small talk between her and Trunks. Korian smiled and enjoyed the sight of his daughter making friends her age, he knew Sorrel would be so pleased to see how she had grown as a person. Suddenly, Bulma stood up at the center of the table and raised her glass up, “I’d like to propose a toast. Here’s to our new friends Korian and Shihori, you’re most welcome here, but only because Shihori is just the cutest little bunny girl I’ve ever seen.” This made Shihori blush with embarrassment as Korian and Goku thought her lame joke was nothing but hilarious. Vegeta remained his usual serious self but nodded to Korian when he met his gaze. “Let’s eat everyone!” Bulma called out and in no time at all Goku had pounced on the food like a hungry predator ambushing its prey, he began plating up heaping portions of food which he took to inhaling in single bites. Korian and Shihori wasted no time in following suit and began to dig into mountains of food including rice, fish, soup, and dumplings. Shihori was so amazed by the quality of the cooking that she had tears of joy in her eyes above her stuffed cheeks “It’s so good.” Korian was seeing just how much he could eat as he had no been getting his normal servings of food for close to an entire year now. Trunks and Goten were amazed to see someone other that their fathers put away food like that but were especially struck by Shihori’s Saiyan-like appetite. Trunks called out to her between bites of food, “Shihori, you’re a petite girl. Where do you put it all?” Shihori continued to munch and shrugged at Trunks’ question. She washed down her current portion with an entire glass of water. “Maybe if you ate more you wouldn’t be so short for a boy your age.” She smirked at Trunks which drew a chuckle from Mai. He looked taken aback and grew irritated by her poking fun at him. “Aww come on Trunks, I’m only teasing you. Mai likes short guys.” Both Mai and Trunks became red in the face with embarrassment and refused to look at one another. Goku tried to strike up conversation with Korian with his mouth full and Korian mumbled back to him with his mouth stuffed with dumplings. Chi-Chi groaned to herself at the sight of her husband’s poor table manners, “You two! Swallow, now!” Korian and Goku paused and each took a big gulp which downed their mouth full of food, respectively. “Sorry, honey. I was saying I want to take you guys somewhere special tomorrow. I’d really like to spar with you and see what the Saiyans of Universe 9 have to offer.” Korian smirked appreciatively, “I was hoping you’d ask to fight because I was thinking the same thing.” The two grown men looked giddy like a couple of teenage girls about to go out on a date. This drew eye rolls from Chi-Chi and Bulma who continued polite conversation mostly centered around how Gohan was doing and how big Bulla was getting. Vegeta called out to Korian, “You were saying earlier about this demon you keep encountering. Just what does she want with the Super Dragon Balls?” Korian stopped eating as the entire table grew quiet to hear the answer, “I’m not sure but in the past before they seemed to be after collecting and storing energy for some use in the Demon realm. Whatever she’s up to it can’t be good.” Vegeta contemplated this, “I’ll kill her myself if it comes to it. I can’t believe a full-blooded Saiyan warrior would be vexed by a mere woman.” Bulma began to angrily loom over her husband with her fist clenched “Just what do you mean, Vegeta?” Vegeta raised his hands in surrender and backed down off his comment, “Well, the thing is, you know the whole size issue….” He just quit while he was ahead and crossed his arms with a “Hmph.” Bulma backed off as well and looked at Shihori and her damaged clothes she was wearing, “Don’t you have any more clothes, sweetie?” Shihori shook her head which made Bulma accusingly point at Korian, “What kind of a father are you? Having your daughter walk around in tatters.” Korian looked caught off guard by Bulma’s comment and pointed to himself like ‘Who? Me?’ She sighed and cracked her knuckles, “Alright, I’ll make you something special. Just wait a few days.” Shihori chuckled at Bulma lambasting her dad and she couldn’t help but enjoy at the wonderful treatment they were receiving here on Earth. She caught Goten looking at her again who quickly looked away. This made her smile even more. After dinner all the adults were gathered around having idle chit chat, meanwhile the teens had broken off from the main group and had made their way up to the domed roof of the main Capsule Corporation building. The four persons present were Trunks, Mai, Goten, and Shihori. Shu and Pilaf decided to occupy their time elsewhere, Mai had suggested that Pilaf was planning a get rich quick scheme that she found no interest in being party to, it seemed these days she much preferred Trunks’ company. Trunks it seemed at the time had at least found some gumption to pay attention to Mai and even attempted to cozy up to his “girlfriend.” Shihori and Goten were sitting next to one another but with a person sized gap between the two of them. It became quite awkward as neither of them spoke and each time they looked in the other’s direction Shihori only managed to give Goten a shy smile. Goten began to slide his way closer to her and unexpectedly placed his hand onto Shihori’s when he sidled himself a bit too close. Shihori looked to him with shock and she began to blush profusely. Goten’s expression on the other hand was one of pure dread as if the world was about to come crashing down around him. He quickly pulled his hand back, “I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to…” Her eyes fell back down, she tried to hide her smile against her tucked in knees, “It’s okay.” Goten swallowed hard and felt like his heart resettled in his chest. “Shihori? Do you mind if I ask you a question?” She turned her head slightly and her bright red eyes fell back onto Goten, “Go ahead, I don’t mind.” Goten took a deep breath and let it all out at once, “Doyouhaveanyoneyoulikebackhome?” Even with her sensitive rabbit hearing she didn’t quite catch what he was saying. “Umm I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.” Goten exhaled and muttered to himself, “okay you’ve got this.” Then he made another attempt except slower and more nervous this time, “Do you…. Shihori…. I mean, do you have anyone that you…. ummm…. like…. like…back home?” She still wasn’t completely sure what he was trying to ask her, but she took an educated guess, “Like like? You mean like a boy?” She felt embarrassed and shook her head, trying to hide her expression. Goten looked like he was ready to pass out but Shihori beat him to the punch on the next round, “Is that how you feel?” Goten nodded his head slowly and Shihori looked at him with a thoughtful expression, “I like you Goten. You’re a really nice guy, but we just met one another. You don’t know anything about me.” Goten’s heart sank and it felt like a stone that was sinking into a bottomless abyss. “But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to get to you know better.” Goten tried to think quickly on his feet when she offered him a glimmer of hope, “How about when we beat the demons and you get to wish back your mom, after that, maybe we can go out on a date?” Shihori was a little shocked that she was asked out on a date for the first time in her life. What little she knew about courtship involved her mother hilariously recounting how she and her father met one another. It was anything but your typical date. Now that the tables were turned, she did the only thing that she could think of doing, she giggled. At first Goten looked defeated but Shihori excused herself profusely, “No, no, I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that I’ve never been asked out on an actual date before and its funny to me.” Goten breathed a sigh of relief that she didn’t find him to be a clown. “I can’t imagine why because you’re so beautiful.” Shihori’s face turned as red as her eye color the instant he complimented her appearance. She waved her hands for him to stop, “Okay, okay, I give up. I’ll go out on a date with you.” He beamed like he had just won the grand prize and surprised her further still by taking her by the hand. She was surprised at first, but it was an innocent gesture which she was more than happy to allow. She smiled to herself and the two enjoyed stargazing with one another, hand in hand. Early the next day, Goku had arrived to take Korian, Shihori, and Vegeta up to the Lookout to visit with Kami and get in some training. Korian and Shihori were taken aback by the appearance of Dende and Mr. Popo, but they both seemed very well mannered. “Guys, this is Dende, he’s Earth’s God.” Korian and Shihori both gave a polite bow to Dende who smiled, “No need to be so formal. It’s a pleasure to meet someone from another universe.” Korian nodded and explained, “I’m originally from this one but some bad stuff happened with my parents and I grew up in Universe 9. It’s alright though because if none of that bad stuff would have happened, I wouldn’t have met my wife and had my little honey bunny, Shihori.” He put his arm around her, she sunk her face into her hand, “Papa, you can be so embarrassing sometimes.” The others just chuckled while Vegeta stood off in the distance with his arms crossed. Goku socked his fist into his hand, “Let’s get down to trainin.’ What I want is for both of you to attack me. I’d like to see how strong you guys are, so I know what we have to work with if we fight this demon.” Korian blinked and Shihori held up her hands like ‘Wait a minute,’ “You want both of us to attack you? At the same time?” Goku put his hands on his hips and nodded sharply, “Uh huh. Don’t worry about me.” Shihori shrugged, “Your funeral.” The three of them spread apart the grounds of the Lookout and took their fighting stances. Goku called out from the opposite side, “Whenever you’re ready!” Korian and Shihori gave each other a nod and took off in flight as they crisscrossed paths and came at Goku at full speed. They each got into close combat with him and the pair lashed out with lightning fast blows that were being evaded or otherwise deflected. “Shihori, now!” Korian grabbed onto his daughter’s hand and spun her around where she used the increased momentum to whip a kick that caught Goku directly on the chin. He stumbled back and smiled, “That’s the stuff. Let’s get more serious.” Goku quickly brought up his energy and transformed into a Super Saiyan which gave both Korian and Shihori momentary pause. They looked to one another at they both did the same in tandem and transformed into their Super Saiyan forms. The battle picked up pace as they three of them bounded around the area at such a rapid pace that it caused a wind to kick up as they passed Dende and Mr. Popo on the ground. Shihori being the smaller and faster of the two came in low snapping a kick square for Goku’s chest, but he was luring her in and he grabbed her up by the leg and spun her around into her Korian who caught her against his chest with an “OMPF!” Goku was right there and smashed Korian down into the Lookout with a thunderous clap. Shihori rolled off her downed father who was coughing up dust and groaning in pain, “That was smarts.” Goku was hovering in the air a short distance away, “Had enough yet?” Shihori increased her power even further and transformed into Super Saiyan 2. Her longer hair sparking with electrical discharge. Goku seemed impressed by her but the real shock came when Korian’s transformation went from gold to red. His hair fell back to its normal shape and he looked up to Goku with crimson red eyes. Vegeta was surprised as well that another Saiyan had attained the transformation of Super Saiyan God, he smiled to himself and continued to watch the fight. “This ought to be good.” Korian lead the charge into Goku with Shihori hot on his heels, they were both striking out at Goku with such speed and power that it was difficult to keep up. A few punches from each had gotten through his guard and while he was stunned, Korian swung his leg up high and brought a sharp axe kick down right on top of his head which crushed Goku into the Lookout. The entire platform shook from the force of that blow and Mr. Popo looked scared they might end up destroying the place. Goku stood up coughing and dusted off his gi, he looked up to the two Saiyans in the sky. “Right. No more fooling around. It’s about time I take you serious.” He spread his stance and cocked his fists at his side as she raised his power level to astonishing heights unlike the two had ever felt before. Goku send out waves of godly ki which washed over his form and turned his golden aura and hair blue. Shihori stepped up to meet the task but Korian grabbed her by the shoulder, “Wait, Shihori. Are you sure it’s okay to push that far?” Shihori gave him a smile, “It’s okay, I can handle short periods of time no problem.” Korian stepped back from his daughter as she powered up even further, her golden aura taking on a jagged flame like appearance the electrical discharge crackled off her body, “HAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Her hair grew out past her waist as she completed the transformation to Super Saiyan 3. “Alright, Son Goku. This is as high as I can go. Show me what you’ve got.” Goku was amazed by her being able to handle Super Saiyan 3 at such a young age but just smiled as he readied to meet her attack. As Shihori and Goku mixed it up in friendly combat, Korian used the time to take a deep breath and focus his ki needed to transform himself. He had only done it a few times after his fight with Mira, but he knew he could handle this much. “HAAAAAAA!!!!” He sent his powering rushing forth like he was transforming into Super Saiyan but let it mix with his godly ki. His aura washed up his body and turned blue including his eyes and hair. Vegeta’s normal stoic demeanor broke at that point, “What?! He can do that?!” As Shihori was getting beaten down to her knees by Goku’s overwhelming power, Korian came in with a fierce right fist that smashed Goku across the jaw and sent him tumbling across the grounds of the Lookout. Shihori climbed to her feet with a hand up from Korian and the pair looked to each other with Shihori stating, “Time to finish this with a bang.” Brought of them mirrored each other’s hand movements as they brought up each hand charged with energy and as their hands pushed out met in front of their bodies at the wrists they called out, “Kyubiko-HA!!!!” and two large blue beams shot out for Goku who cupped his hands at his side, “KAME…HAME…HAAAAA!” He shot his hands forward and an enormous blue energy wave collided into their two beams which pressed them both backwards under the intense pressure. Not long after Shihori’s arms began to shake and she collapsed down to her knees and out of Super Saiyan 3, “I’m sorry, Papa. Anymore wouldn’t be safe.” Korian didn’t take his attention away from Goku whose attack drew nearer and nearer, “It’s okay. Get clear!” Shihori flew away from the beam clash and settled near Vegeta who gave her a studious look like he was still observing her abilities. Just before Korian was overwhelmed by Goku’s attack it stopped completely and he broke off his own attack as he collapsed to his knees completely out of breath. Goku calmly walked over now in his base form while Korian’s god ki faded from his body and his hair fell back to dark brown. “That was pretty impressive. I can’t believe both of you managed so much on your own.” Goku reached out to help Korian to his feet, who wiped his sweated brow with the back of his arm. “Kakarot, just where do you get all that power?” Goku chuckled to himself, “Practice and lots of battles but mostly practice. I love pushing myself to see how far I can go, don’t you?” Korian smirked as they were rejoined by Shihori and Vegeta. “If you’re both up for it, I think Dende would be willing to let you use the Room of Spirit and Time to help you in your training.” Korian and Shihori looked at one another utterly confused but fortunately Dende overheard Goku’s offer with his sharp Namekian ears. “So nice of you to destroy parts of the Lookout again Son Goku.” He sighed and turned his attention to Korian and Shihori, “The Room of Spirit and Time is an extra-dimensional space where you can get an entire year’s worth of training for just one day in real world time.” Korian looked amazed and ready to jump at the opportunity but Dende interjected, “But be mindful it is not for the weak minded as the extreme changes inside and endless abyss inside the room can drive you mad.” Korian gave Shihori a look of concern but her serious expression turned to one of confidence as she reached out to fist bump him, “I’m game if you are, Papa.” Korian smiled proudly back to his daughter and bumped her fist. Goku gave them a thumbs up and Vegeta eyed the pair as they headed off. Dende guided them to the entrance to the room and Mr. Popo opened the door for them, “You can spend up to a total of three days in chamber at any given time. Please pay attention to the sand hour glasses in the room as they will run out completely at the end of every year you spend in there.” Shihori walked into the room and Korian stopped at the door to turn around and wave to Goku and Vegeta, “See you in a few years, I guess.” Korian entered the room and the wooden door closed shut behind him. Inside the room Shihori was standing at the edge of what appeared to be living quarters and was staring off into an endless white abyss. “It goes on forever. Now I know what Dende meant that it can drive you mad.” Korian put a hand on her shoulder, “We’ve got each other and that’s what matters most.” Shihori smiled and hugged her father before she leapt into the room itself and took a fighting stance. “Time is wasting, Papa. Let’s get to training!” [I]Demon Realm[/I] It had taken more than a day for her powers to return to full strength and as time went on, she felt her body begin to stabilize to the new energies even further than before. Towa ran a hand up her face and back across her long white hair as if she was enjoying an entirely new sensation. She opened her purple eyes and the red markings had reappeared under her eyelids again. She turned her attention to the group of Majin she had created with her stronger dark magic. Each vicious beast a different color and willing to do its master’s bidding. “We’re coming for you, Korian. Just you wait.” [I]Planet Earth, [/I]three days later Goku and Vegeta were sparring on the Lookout with one another much to the chagrin of Dende and Mr. Popo. Vegeta smashed a left hook into Goku’s face who took it with a grin and charged forward to trade blows with Vegeta. Dende called out to them, “Vegeta, Bulma is here.” This brought the Prince to a screeching halt as he lowered himself down to the ground followed by Goku. He was met by Bulma who was holding onto Bulla, she was also accompanied by Goten and Trunks who were carrying a few crates off her Capsule 576 plane. “So, this is where you two have been the past few days. I swear Vegeta would it kill you to pick up a phone and call your wife?” Vegeta just groaned and tried to ignore her nagging which gave Goku a chuckle. Goten and Trunks set down the crates which drew Goku’s attention, “What are those, Bulma?” She smirked to herself and gave a haughty chuckle, “Why those are new battle suit designs for Korian and Shihori. I remember the last time you two clowns came out of there and were in complete shambles. I wouldn’t do that to my house guests.” Vegeta scoffed at the notion that he was in the same category as Kakarott. Mr. Popo waved his arms and called out to the group, “They’re coming out.” The gang hurried over to the door to the Room of Spirit and Time and inside the glowing white aura came a figure with spikey hair. Korian appeared from the room with his armor half broken off and his gi pants torn in several places. “Hey everyone.” Bulma nudged Vegeta with her elbow as if to say, ‘I told you so.’ Goten and Trunks looked around when Goten asked Korian, “Where’s Shihori?” Korian stepped aside and a silhouette darkened the shining doorway, Goten and Trunks couldn’t believe their eyes once she emerged. Shihori had grown much taller and had a womanlier figure. Her hair was longer and tied into a loose ponytail. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest to cover what was left of her clothing which was only a sports bra and her black compression shorts. She clung to her mother’s red scarf in her ripped gloves. Korian stepped up next to her and put an arm around her shoulders, “Don’t be shy, Shihori. No one here is judging you.” Shihori who used to be shorter than both Goten and Trunks at just over 4’2. She now came up to Korian’s shoulders as he stood 5’10 and she now stood to be 5’2. Looks like she took after her mother in the height department as Sorrel normally stood around 4’8. She sighed and uncrossed her arms revealing she had filled out her now tight-fitting bra, there were also noticeable battle scars which appeared like two claw marks on the sides of her abdomen from the time she fought Mak. Goten and Trunks’ jaws were on the ground, staring in astonishment in how she had grown in just three days’ time. It was like she had hit her teenage growth spurt all at once and had come out a completely different person. This made her profusely embarrassed to be seen this way, especially in front of a boy she liked. Bulma handed Bulla over to Vegeta and she stepped up to Shihori to cover her up with her own jacket. “Don’t worry dear. You just need a woman’s touch. Not some numb skull man who is going to have you walking around in your underwear!” She socked Korian in the arm and Shihori looked apologetically to her father for the abuse he was receiving from Bulma. “Sheesh.” The two ladies disappeared with Bulma carrying one of the crates into the Capsule 576 plane. Korian turned his attention back to Goku and Vegeta the latter of whom spoke first, “Well, have you mastered your Super Saiyan Blue form after all the time you spent in there?” Korian scratched his head and looked confused, “Blue?” Vegeta growled at him for his ignorance, “Yes, you dolt. Your Super Saiyan God transformation when you further transform with the power of a Super Saiyan. We call it Super Saiyan Blue.” Korian looked enlightened by this information, “Ooooh! Yeah, I suppose but I guess you’ll have to wait and see for yourself.” Goku gave him a thumbs up, “See Vegeta? I knew all he needed was a lil bit of trainin’.” Bulma returned with Shihori who was now fully dressed in her new battle uniform which replaced her shorts with black gi pants, they were of the same loose fit design like Korian wore, she wore a gold obi belt around her waist for a splash of color, white battle armor with gold trim that was of the same style as Vegeta’s, underneath which she wore a form fitting short sleeve black compression shirt, she was wearing identical white gloves but the boots bore golden tips that were of the same design as Vegeta’s. The construction of every piece of clothing was replaced with a stronger and lighter material. Korian looked at how Shihori was dressed and was shocked to see such a grown woman standing before him. Vegeta commented, “Now you look the part of a Saiyan warrior.” Shihori smirked and began to stretch in her new outfit, she thought that it felt light and was easy to move around. “Don’t hate me because I look better than you.” She said with a chuckle directed at Korian. “Aha, we’ll see about that kiddo.” Bulma kicked a crate over to Korian with her foot and when he opened it up, he felt like a kid in a candy store. “Wow, these are great. Thanks, Bulma!” She made a dismissive gesture with her hand, “Don’t mention it. Just remember my genius when you show it off in battle.” Korian turned back to the crate and pulled off his broken armor and continued to remove his soiled and tattered clothes until he was about remove his underwear. Shihori covered her eyes before she saw anything that would be burned into her memory forever. Bulma cried out, “Have you no decency?! There’s ladies present!” Bulla gave an infantile chuckle which prompted Korian to apologize as he pulled his scantily clad behind into the new navy blue gi pants that Bulma had designed. He continued and pulled on his new armor which was the same design as Vegeta’s and Shihori’s but remained the same black and gold color scheme as before. The boots were slightly altered to be the same design as Vegeta’s but remained black and were outlined with gold around the ankles like his previous boots. He slid on bracers that were identical to his previous ones but were made stronger and lighter. Korian stretched in his new armor design and gave an approving nod, “I can see why you favor Bulma’s work so much, Vegeta. I barely even notice I’m wearing it at all.” Vegeta smirked while he held onto Bulla, “Well, my wife is the smartest woman on the planet after all.” Bulma made a cutesy face toward Vegeta and took Bulla back from him, “Aww you hear that? Daddy says that Mommy is the smartest ever, yes he did.” Vegeta just crossed his arm and let out a scoff and muttered to himself, “Hmph. Don’t let it go to your head all at once.” A few minutes later, Shihori had finally worked up the courage to approach Goten and Trunks. She wasn’t her usual energetic and tell-it-like-is self and it was confusing her why she felt she was so shy around these boys especially Goten. “Hey, Goten. Hey, Trunks. So, do you like my new look?” she tucked her arms behind her back like she was showing off her wardrobe, yet she was completely unaware that she was giving the two teenage boys quite the eyeful of chest. Both Goten and Trunks turned bright red and began to mutter like complete idiots unable to form words. She was waiting for a response and was puzzled by their reaction, but suddenly they were interrupted by the appearance of a tall green man wearing a white turban and cape. He came swooping in from the sky and came in for a graceful landing nearby. The boys turned their attention away from Shihori and Goten called out and began to wave, “Mister Piccolo! Long time no see.” They had his attention and the very tall green man who looked a lot like Dende stopped nearby Shihori, taking a keen interest in who this stranger was the two looked at one another rather curiously “Hello boys. Who is your new friend?” Goten stepped up next to Shihori and put his hand on her shoulder, “Mister Piccolo, this is Shihori, she’s half-Saiyan like us but her mom is a rabbit.” Piccolo looked quite imposing as he took this information in and eyed her, “Is that so?” Shihori gave him a stiff upper lip and stuck out a hand for him to shake, “Pleased to meet you, Mister Piccolo, I’m Shihori, we’re from Universe 9.” Piccolo smirked and shook her hand, “Likewise. I hope you’re staying out of trouble. I know all too well what kind of ugliness stirs when you get a bunch of Saiyans together.” Shihori took it as a joke and gave him a cocky sneer, “I laugh in the face of danger.” Goten thought she was being too cool right now and Trunks just rolled his eyes at her overt attempt. “Well kids, let me go see what your parents are up to. Be seeing you around, Shihori.” Piccolo gave her a polite nod and went to see Dende and the other adults over the Bulma’s plane. Trunks was inspired by Shihori’s attempt to show off and suddenly got a bright idea to shine. “Hey, you want to see something super cool?” He leaned into Goten and whispered something into his ear, “Right now? I mean I suppose we could.” Goten nodded to Trunks and turned his attention to Shihori, “Watch this you’re going to love it.” Trunks and Goten backed off a bit and got an equal number of steps away from one another. They began to slide towards one another complete in synch while rotating their arms up and around, “FU….” Then each both crossed both arms over their chests while lifting the inside facing leg, “SION…” then each both leaned toward one another with both arms outstretched while they touched the tips of each index finger, “HA!” There was a brilliant flash of like which caused Shihori to shield her eyes as well as grabbing the attention of everyone else on the Lookout. Once she could see again Shihori couldn’t believe her eyes, she was looking at a person who was a striking mixture of both Goten and Trunks blended together. The power that he radiated was unlike anything she had ever felt, it was so unique and strikingly strong. “Wha…. what just happened?” The boy with black and purple hair just snickered and threw her a peace sign, “We fused to create Earth’s ultimate warrior, Gotenks!” Shihori was dumbfounded such a flashy technique existed and blinked at Gotenks boasting. Korian ran over like a hyper-active child, “Lemme see! lemme see! Whoa, just how did you two do that? Aw that’s so cool!” Shihori sank her face down into her hand and shook her head, “Papa, you’re so embarrassing.” Gotenks thumbed his nose cockily and pointed at Korian, “Want to find out firsthand? How about you fight us, Korian? We’ll go full power!” Gotenks took a stance like he was about to build energy when Piccolo and Dende appeared next to them with the God of Earth looking rather distraught, “No! No! No! You two are not going to be doing that on the Lookout!” Gotenks looked defeated by the notion that he couldn’t show off his strength, one couldn’t help but think that was the Goten part of him wanting to look cool in front of Shihori while simultaneously impressing her dad. Korian shrugged as he wasn’t going to argue with Earth’s God, “Some other time then.” Shihori stepped up to Gotenks and held out a fist against his chest, “Maybe some time we can try fusing.” Gotenks turned bright red in the face and got a bloody nose at the mere notion that a girl wanted to try fusing. Shihori chuckled as she wondered what part of him was more embarrassed by the idea. [I]Universe 7[/I], the other side of the galaxy Towa clutched onto her staff as she waved her hands in front of her body as if she was conducting music. There was a warm glow that began to cascade itself across her form ever nearer the longer she held her pose. Not too long after it became apparent what she was doing as six of the Super Dragon Balls were gathered together in the same place, “Only one more and then there will be nothing to stop us.” She smiled to herself with a sinister grin but unbeknownst to her she was being watched from a great distance by an Old Kai in a crystal ball, “Oh no.”[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
