Gira tapped her foot while she waited outside her house. She had called her new friend Pota over so that they could put together a costume for him. The paper bag over his head would conceal his identity in a pinch, but it wasn't a costume appropriate for a hero. Kaci was the one among them that was good at crafts, sewing included. She was the one that made Gira's costume, so she called her over too to help look for materials. She probably had plenty of fabric at home, but they needed more than just some fabric. The half-Saiyan was happy she could walk now, otherwise this venture wouldn't be possible. She had gotten used to not having her tail at this point. Her balance was practically back to normal. It still felt weird not having anything back there. She wasn't waiting for too long when she saw Kaci come out of her house across the street. She waved to Gira and walked over to her. "Hey, still waiting on him?""Yeah. He should be here soon. You stocked up on fabric the other day, didn't you?" Gira asked Kaci as she leaned up against her house. Kaci nodded. "Yeah, all sorts of patterns and colors too. He should have plenty to choose from.""Good. Then we just need accessories and a mask." Gira nodded to herself, thinking of where they could begin their search.

It was approaching noon on another lovely day on the outskirts of West Capitol. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the giant trout were jumping like popcorn in a microwave. All was peaceful and tranquil as a new born babe. SNOOOORE! Unfortunately so was Pota to the disturbance of a family of nearby squirrels who had the misfortune of making their home near Pota's newly built cottage. Although Pota was sleeping blissfully he had accidentally forgotten that Gira had invited him to have his new super hero costume made by her human friend Kaci. Pota of course had no alarm clock seeing as his house was made out of logs and tightly tied leaves to try and keep out the rain. The only thing he had to tell the time was his old scouter which had been broken on his landing on Earth so now it acted as little more than a means to tell time or a paperweight since Pota started his hand at story writing (He isn't good as he thinks he is). Finally the Saiyan arose but only because he fell off his bed due to his more than awkward sleeping position.
CRASH!
"Ouch Fuck!!" Pota cursed as he rubbed his neck fortunately it wasn't the first time this had happened the only difference was his brother Onio wasn't here to break his fall like he sometimes had the misfortune of in the morning "Damn didn't realize how much I'd miss him, simple things huh?" Pota said to himself. At that time he looked at his cracked scouter and powered it on. "Well then what time is it...Holy Hell I'm late!!" Pota dressed as quickly as he could and all but jumped out the door. "Gira's gonna kill me!! OW!!" just as he finished his sentence an acorn hit him in the head and he turned to see his neighborly squirrels pelting him with their winter rations. "Alright Alright I get it I'll get you some tiny ear plugs or something geez just have mercy!!"
Pota approached Gira's house around 1:00. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't have an alarm hope I didn't keep you two waiting." Pota laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.

Gira sensed Pota approaching. "He's here." The Saiyan landed right after Gira said that, stating an apology for being late. "Don't worry about it. We weren't waiting for too long." The half-Saiyan put a hand out towards Kaci. "Pota, this is Kaci. She's my best friend. She'll be helping us out with your costume today." Kaci waved at Pota.
"Um... hi there." Saiyans still made her nervous. She knew Gira her whole life, so she was fine. Kaci knew that she would never hurt her. Still, the Saiyan invasion was still fresh in her mind. A lot of the fighting took place in West Capitol, so taking cove and hiding from the invaders made Kaci develop a kind of subconscious fear of the Saiyan race.
"So, we're going to be heading to some stores downtown to find a good mask and maybe some accessories for your costume. We have plenty of fabric at her place, so we won't have to worry about that." Gira smiled at her two friends. "So, ready to go?"
"Yeah, we should try and get this done before it gets too late to make the costume before the end of the day." Kaci added.

Pota smiled his usual smile and waved at Kaci "Nice to meet you Kaci." Though Pota couldn't shake the feeling that she was somewhat nervous but figured that was none of his business. As Gira explained the plans for the day Pota to his own surprise found himself looking forward to the day he never took much pleasure in shopping unless it was for food, gardening supplies, or book writing material. But the thought of having his own super hero costume gave a sort of giddy rush that one might see in an adolescent Saiyan youth when he goes off on his first battle. Although Pota's was less than pleasant for him. The young Saiyan pushed such thoughts from his head today was a new day with new friends on a new planet, with new adventures ahead of them. As they approached the market district in the city they happened by what seemed to be a martial arts store with various weapons in the window no doubt to draw in customers. There was a pretty wide variety of blades and oddly shaped weaponry that Pota had never seen but what caught his eye was a little more simple than what most people would want. A simple hardened oak quarter staff which had dragons carved into the weapon on either end and meeting in the middle in what seemed to be a heated altercation, literally. "Now that is some fine craftsmanship." Pota then realized that Gira and Kaci were getting a little far away and decided he would come back later right now he had a costume to make. As he caught up to his two new friends he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Kaci. "I hope this isn't too over the top but its roughly what I had in mind."

Gira chuckled and shook her head as Pota ran off. "Come on, Kaci. We should catch up with him." The two girls ran to meet the Saiyan, meeting up with him on the street. He showed them the picture he had of his costume design. Kaci looked it over, figuring out if she could do something like that. After a few seconds she nodded.
"Yeah, I can do that. Seems simple enough." Gira giggled at Pota saying that he hoped his design wasn't too over the top. The whole point of the Watcher was to be over the top.
Kaci made a mental list of the things she needed to make the costume come to fruition. "Okay, i'll be right back." She ran off to find supplies, going into a crafts store. She came out several minutes later with bags full of stuff. It seemed like it should have taken her longer than it did to gather so many supplies. Gira leaned over and spoke to Pota directly.
"I swear, when it comes to shopping, she can move faster than I can." She joked. Finally, Kaci approached.
"Okay guys, I think I have everything. You ready to go back?"

Pota smiles and nods just before walking off he remembered the weapons shop and got to thinking. "Hey you guys go on ahead I'll catch up I'm gonna grab some bells and whistles for the new costume to make it all come together." And with that he turned towards the direction the shop was in and waved to his friends as he yells back. "Don't worry I'll be quick as a rabbit." proclaims the young Saiyan as he sped off. As Pota ran towards the shop he thought. 'Maybe I'll buy some smoke bombs as well it would do well to put weaker opponents at a disadvantage and at the same time hide me and Gira's identity if we get caught in a jam.' The Saiyan was so deep in thought he almost didn't notice the shop coming into view but as he approached he noticed a couple of guys at the shop and the shop keeper was talking to them loudly.
"Get outta here you hooligans I ain't payin' no more protection money this is a "Weapons" shop and by Kami I will use them if I have to!!" Shouted the old man as he swung the very quarter staff that Pota had his eye on. However the thugs just seemed to smile and laugh while lazily dodged the old man's attacks.
"Silly old man you couldn't hurt us if you tried." Said the bigger thug as he caught the old man's staff and pulled out a gun. "Besides you brought a stick to gun fight stupid." That was quite enough for Pota's taste he was use to bullies he dealt with them alot but pulling a gun on the elderly crossed a totally new line for him. Concentrating ki in his feet he sped forward and before the thug could even pull the trigger he snatched the gun outta his hands and held it front of the thug.
"I've seen cowards but shooting an old man with nothing but a staff to defend himself.." Pota calmly put his hands on both thugs abdomens'. "That's absolutely despicable." Says the young Saiyan before firmly putting just a little bit of pressure on his push against the assailants' abdomens forcing the air outta their lungs knocking them both out instantly. The old man, after he got over his initial surprise he turned toward Pota.
"Thank you my boy that was looking ugly there for a minute there is there any way I can repay you son?" Pota didn't even think about his answer.
"Actually I came by to buy that off you it caught my attention earlier today." The old man looked down at the staff in his hand and laughed heartily.
"Oh a good eye for weapons you got there boy this is one of my best works but for what you just did for me I'll gladly gift it to you just be sure to take care of her that bit of craftsmanship is very dear to me." Pota nodded and smiled happily.
"I promise."

Gira waited patiently with Kaci as Pota ran off again to get some accessories and the like for his costume. A couple minutes passed, but there was no sign of him. Gira had just decided to wait a little longer when she felt a small spike in Pota's power. He was fighting? Why? Gira turned to Kaci. "Hey, stay here. I think something's going on."
"I'll go with you. I can handle myself, Gira." Kaci looked at Gira with a scowl. The hybrid sighed as her best friend protested.
"I know that. I just don't want you to get hurt. I'll be right back. It's probably nothing. I don't sense any strong powers in there besides Pota. Still, i'd like to know what's going on." After getting a grumbling half-protest from Kaci, Gira approached the weapon shop and headed inside just in time to see Pota retrieve his staff. A fair distance away from him were two unconscious men. It appeared that whatever occurred here was done.
Still, Gira waved to Pota when she entered, deciding to make sure everything was fine. "Um... hey. Everything alright in here?"

Pota was just about to go rejoin his friends when he heard Gira behind him. "Oh Gira yeah everything is fine just some thugs nothing I couldn't handle I got what I came for you ready to meet up with Kaci?" The young Saiyan smiled and waved back at the shop keeper. "Thanks for the staff I promise to take good care of it!!" Pota was very happy with the way things had been going on earth the only real friend he had on Vegeta was his brother Onio, but here he had meet Gira, Kaci, as well as the Weapon shop keeper and the cook at Gira's favorite food joint and he couldn't wait to get started on his hero training.

Gira looked over at the unconscious men when Pota mentioned that he had a problem with some thugs. He said he had it handled and he clearly did. When asked if she wanted to meet up with Kaci, Gira nodded to him. "Yeah, she's waiting on us outside." With that, Gira led Pota outside and to Kaci. Now that all was said and done, the trio went back to Kaci's place so that the blond teen could make Pota's costume. Kaci's home was rather nice. It was a testament to the success of her mother and father.
They weren't incredibly wealthy, but her mother and father had good jobs studying alien biology, so they were able to afford to live quite comfortably. Kaci had Gira and Pota wait downstairs while she got her things ready. Soon after, she came out with measuring take and began to take Pota's measurements. That part of the process was rather quick; she would simply take a measurement and write it down in a little notebook.
"Okay, i'll be back." Kaci waved to the two and went upstairs to begin her work. Once she left, Gira flopped down on the couch and looked at Pota.
"Best not bother her while she's working. She gets in... a trance when she's working on her sewing stuff. It just wouldn't be smart to bother her." Gira reached down into the mini fridge next to the couch and pulled out two ice-cold cans of HETAP, tossing one to Pota and opening up one of her own, taking a sip. "So, Pota, you wanna spar while Kaci is working on your costume? She'll be up there for a few hours trying to make it perfect." She chuckled.

Pota stared at the house in wonderment Gira had mentioned before that Kaci's parents had a pretty good job as alien biologist so they made a decent living, still he was surprised at how fancy their house was. Pota's family on Vegeta were minor nobles so he knew what wealthy looked like but this was I guess what he would call "Earth Wealthy" and it was pretty impressive when you didn't have to spend money on lots of weights and gravity chambers evidently you had enough room for other cool stuff. Pota was snapped out of his thoughts by Gira tossing him a HETAP and offering to spar while Kaci was busy.
Spar was all Pota needed to hear he hadn't had a good spar since he left Vegeta. The young saiyan catches the HETAP cracks it open and downs it hurriedly and crushes the empty can in his hand. "Do you really need to ask we are Saiyans after all, wait we won't be bothering Kaci will we." He was all up for sparring but he didn't want Kaci to mess up on his costume he wanted to be the "Great Monkey Man of West Capitol" but he didn't want to be on a mission and have himself have a wardrobe malfunction. Then he'd be known as "The Great Streaking Man of West Capitol". The thought was enough to make him blush in embarrassment a little bit.
"I just wanna make sure we don't mess her up." Pota smiles and scratches the back of his head nervously.

Gira chugged the rest of her HETAP and got up from the couch. "I've got a spot where we won't disturb anyone. We're kind of in the middle of the city too. And right across the street form my house, where my mom is. I can't have her seeing me fight. She wouldn't understand." Gira threw the empty can away and stretched. "We'll leave a note just in case Kaci gets done before we get back. I doubt it, though. She won't come down until she's done." Gira grinned, the excitement of the coming fight setting in. She grabbed a sticky note from the coffee table and wrote a note informing Kaci that she and Pota went off to spar.
"Okay, follow me." Gira put the note on the end table next to the couch and then made to the back door. If they took off from the backyard, her mom probably wouldn't see them. Once Pota was in the backyard with her, Gira pointed to the sky, indicated that they would be taking to the air. With a grunt of effort, Gira jumped into the sky, using her ki to keep her afloat as she rocketed through the skies, heading to the training grounds she had been using since she first began her journey to power. All the fights she had with her friends had taken place here. Gira thought it only fitting that she spar with Pota in this location.
The young girl touched down on the grass, looking around with a smile on her face. The sun was shining and a slight breeze was blowing... it was the perfect weather for a spar. Gira took off her jacket and set it aside. Didn't want to get her school clothes torn up. It was kind of awkward trying to explain to her mom where her clothes went. Seeing how Pota wasn't as strong as her, Gira figured she would use her new energy suppression trick to get herself more on his level. Gira closed her eyes and relaxed, allowing her power to slowly fall until it was on par with Pota's. She opened her eyes again and prepared for battle.
Gira spread her stance and dropped her center of gravity, putting one fist out even with her knee while she put her other fist back, making her arms parallel with one another. A smirk crossed her lips. "Okay. You get the first move. Now, come at me. Show me what you can do."

Pota flew with Gira to her training area he couldn't sense energy but he could tell by the look on Gira's face that she was looking forward to sparring as much as he was. After awhile they touched down at the place they were gonna spar Gira got into her stance and told Pota that he got the first move. Pota smiles and places one leg behind the other propelling himself forward as he lunged his fist at Gira's face and just as it would've made contact he planted his foot on the ground and shifted his body weight around Gira in an attempt to flank her and catch her by surprise with a kick meant to send her flying upwards.
It was obvious to Pota watching her fight those thugs when they first met that he wouldn't be a match for her strength, hell this match would probably be over in a second if it wasn't a spar. But maybe he could use some of his battle experience from his life in the Saiyan military to his advantage though even that would be a long shot due to the fact that Gira fighting strong people on earth being the Watcher and all.

Gira stood still and tanked the blow. She wanted to get a good idea of Pota's strength, so she let him get that one hit in. Her head moved to the side with the blow and a bit of spittle shot from her mouth. Pota's flanking attack was impressive, succeeding in meeting its target. Gira flew up into the sky, stopping herself about a hundred feet in the air. Gira looked down at Pota, a smile on her face. He was strong. Practically as strong as she was when she first started in her superhero career. This was going to be fun.
The half-Saiyan put her hands near her chest, palms facing each other. "Let's see if you can handle this!" She moved her hands around, a small point of light forming in the space between her hands. As she moved her hands around in a sphere, the point turned into a small blue ball of energy, growing ever larger. Once it was the size of a fist, Gira took the ball in one hand and held it up as it hovered above her palm. "Here on Earth, we have a game called "catch." Let's see how you play."
Gira's personality seemed a little different in combat. She was a lot more arrogant now. Battle really brought out her more Saiyan qualities. "Now, here's my fast ball!" With that, Gira threw the blue ball of energy as fast as she could at Pota.

Pota smirks as the ball of energy rockets toward him. "Catch eh??" Says the young Saiyan as he thrusts his palm forward intending on catching the dangerous orb as Gira's game suggested. "Sounds like a fun game lets play ball!!" Pota declares as the attack crashes into his hand as he winces in pain and pushes back against it. 'Damn and to think that she's holding back that's kinda scary but also really exciting I can't wait to see what she can really do!' Pota braces his legs against the ground determined not to be pushed back. As he pushes back the ball he smiles up at Gira he says. "Lets have some fun" As he tosses the ball back towards Gira.
As the ball rushes towards Gira he clasps his hands together as green flame-like ki form between his palms as he charges his own ki based attack. "Now that you showed me your's I'll show you mine." Just as similar ki to that in his hand erupts around his body."Now an attack of my own creation NOVA BURST!!" He yells as he outstretches his hands while his fingers are linked firing out a firey beam of green ki behind the ball heading toward gira.

Gira's smirk grew as Pota launched her attack right back at her and fired one of his own. 'Strong indeed.' With that, Gira began her counterattack. She flipped around in midair, catching her attack and firing it downwards at Pota's. The two attacks collided in midair, cancelling themselves out. Gira rocketed at Pota after that, aiming a flurry of punches at his midsection and face. "You're strong, Pota!" She said in-between blows. "But there's one problem!" She would then send a kick towards his face. "I'm much stronger!" The half-Saiyan was having a blast. She hadn't been able to fight like this in awhile. She hoped that her goading would spur Pota to even greater action.
She wished she didn't have to scale back her strength, but that was all the more reason to make Pota stronger. One day, they'd fight and she wouldn't have to hold anything back. But until then, she'd give Pota the fight of his life. Eventually, she'd turn up the heat in this battle. Gira first wanted to see if Pota could handle her at this strength, however. So far, so good. She thought that he might be ready soon. She wouldn't use her full power in this fight. Oh, no. At best, she'd go at twenty-five percent. But based on her estimates, that should be more than enough.
