Gira had been taking a nap in her pod as she made her way through space and towards the home of the Saiyans. She had done nothing but scream the whole first day of the trip, so now she was rather exhausted. A soft "ding" echoed through the pod as the display indicated that they were approaching their destination. The half-Saiyan was notoriously difficult to rouse, though, so the single tone did nothing to wake her up. Even whenever the pod shuddered violently after entering the planet's atmosphere, Gira simply turned over a little bit and started snoring.
While it did take much to awaken the teen, what happened next would certainly do it. Eventually, she came to her inevitable collision with the ground right outside the Saiyan capital. The decrepit pod that held the teen shattered on impact, sending her flying face-first into the ground. She slid along the ground, creating a wide trench with her face as she went along. After she finally came to a stop, Gira groaned groggily. The hybrid groaned once more as she rolled over to prop herself up on her elbows, then move to a seated position. She whimpered and touched her nose. It wasn't broken, but it sure hurt.
The hybrid gingerly wiped the dirt off of her face. "Ow... damn ancient piece of space junk." The half-Saiyan muttered in frustration before letting out a dejected sigh. "Man, what am I gonna do? I'm missing school, practice, game night at Kaci's... I bet my mom's worried too." She looked at the ground sullenly and hugged her knees tight to her chest. "Why do I always have to get myself into situations like this? I should have just left that thing alone." Gira stood up after a few seconds of wallowing in self-pity. "I guess... I better figure out how i'm gonna get home." Pota

"Thank Kami we're here." Pota yawned and stretched. He was unusually still accustomed to being roused by his Saiyan pod's alarm tone before landing. In fact he purposely set his that way after his first few times in a pod. Nothing was worse than having your sleep disturbed by colliding into a planet. Especially with the pod he had which was shaking violently and threatened to fall apart.
Pota kept one hand near his ejection button as he sped towards the planet's red surface. As he approached the planet he managed to spot another crashed vessel only about a half mile east of where he was probably gonna land.
"No doubt that's probably Gira better meet up with her as soon as I land." Pota said to himself. "If I land." The pod hit the surface of the planet making a huge trench in the earth and tearing the pod into pieces obviously no longer able to be fixed or flown again. Pota came flying out of the pod and caught himself in mid flight before he smacked head first into a rock. "Whew! That was clo-." Before he finished a piece of the pod came flying down smacking him in the head with a loud clang! "Ow! Ow ow ow ow!" Pota nursed the bump on his head as he flew off in the direction he saw Gira's pod earlier.
Flying along Pota felt a mix of nervousness, nostalgia, and excitement. It had only been about six months since his exile. He wanted with every fiber of his being to go see his twin brother. But that would only do more harm than good for either of them. After about five minutes of flying he saw Gira's pod and shouted out to his half Saiyan friend.
"Hey stranger don't see you around here often." Smiling his own little smart ass smile like he knew the punch line to a joke that only he knew.

Gira simply turned her head when she heard Pota's voice. She had sensed him when she took a break from screaming, so it came as no surprise to her that he was here. Still, Gira resisted the urge to blubber about how she wanted to go home. No, she was an adult. She'd get them out of this. Somehow. Probably. "Hey, Pota." Gira couldn't help but sound exhausted. She looked up at the purple skies of Planet Vegeta. "It's so pretty. It's a shame my first visit had to be like this."
The hybrid groaned and turned her whole body towards Pota this time. "So, what do you say we head into the city? We need to find some way out of here." While Gira asked, the question was definitely rhetorical. She was going home NOW and nothing was going to stop her. Gira marched to the city without giving Pota a chance to protest if he decided to. They weren't far from the capital, so travel was a matter of minutes. Once they entered the city proper, a curious sight caught Gira's eye; a sign by a roadside garage.
"Retus - Custom Spacecraft" was what it said. Gira looked like she was thinking for a moment. "One sec, Pota. I got an idea." Gira jogged over to the garage, disappearing through the door. An hour or two later, she emerged again, a stack of papers under one arm and a set of keys she was twirling around her other index finger. She stopped next to Pota, a grin on her face as she took the keys in her hand. "I bought a ship... and a gravity chamber. I guess Vegeta takes Bao Platinum."

Pota was about to tell Gira about his exile and that waltzing straight into the capital might be a bad idea. Before he had time to respond Gira was flying away with or without him. The young Sayain only had his Visored helmet and face mask and monkey man suit. "Its better than being recognized by anyone." Pota said to himself as he got into his red gi along with his yellow gloves and boots, matched with red cape along with a white visored helmet and face mask. He then hurried to catch up to Gira.
As he caught up with her she instructed him to wait where they were. He didn't argue just nodded and kept his eyes peeled for anyone that would notice him. Gira came out a couple of hours later declaring she bought a ship and gravity chamber. In this Pota would tell you that his heart literally skipped a few beats. Before he could ask how Gira would pull out her ultimate weapon (pause for effect).
"THE BAO PLATINUM CARD!!" The wind would flow cooly through Pota's spikey jet black hair as his dark eyes behind his visor reflected the majesty of the indestructible...
BAO PLATINUM CARD!!

Gira grinned at Pota's reaction. "Yup. Mom's gonna kill me for putting a charge that big on it, but she'll kill me even deader if I don't come home." Gira looked around suspiciously for a moment. "You wanna... you wanna test the gravity chamber out? They're gonna deliver it to me outside the city." The half-Saiyan wouldn't take no for an answer. She was a girl on a mission. Even more so than before. "Come on!" She would fly outside the city, where a hover-truck was unloading the ship. A tall, middle-aged Saiyan with long hair spiked and black in the fashion of Saiyans. On his cheek, he had a long, horizontal scar.
"'Ere's your ship. Pleasure doin' business with ya." The tall, bulky Saiyan shook Gira's hand.
"Thanks, Retus. I'll definitely remember you if I need anything spaceship related." She grinned at the older man, releasing his hand.
"I'd appreciate that. Later, toots." He sauntered over to the hover-truck and hopped in the back, the contraption taking off soon after. Gira grinned with excitement and looked over at her ship.
"Oh, it's perfect." She hugged the side of it, sighing with contentment. "Ah... gotta love that new ship smell." All sign of the frightened girl was gone. Now that they had a way home, the hybrid was excited. "Let's go inside!" She excitedly ran over to the bottom of the ship, looking at the key in her hand. "Okay... Retus said it was... this one." She pressed one of the buttons, a brief whirr sounding in response. The circular covering over the ship's bottom began to rotate, lowering to the ground with a white cylinder of some sort. In front of Gira, on the cylinder, was a set of shiny steel doors.
"Uh..." Before Gira could say anything, the doors opened with a "woosh." The half-Saiyan giggled with glee and rushed inside. If Pota chose to join her, she would wait. If not, she would go up on her own. "Let's see... training room is on the upper tier, so... three." Gira hit the button marked with the number three. The doors to the elevator shut, taking its passengers on an ascent up into the ship's highest levels.
"Upper Tier. Training Room." A synthesized male voice said in the elevator. Gira turned to Pota if he was there and explained;
"That's SAM. He's the AI in control of the ship." Once they reached the training room, the doors slid open, revealing the white-tiled training room. There was plenty of space for them to do all sorts of training. Gira gasped and squealed excitedly. "Damn it, this is so cool!"

Pota followed Gira from the garage to where the new ship was. As they approached the vessel the young hybrid embraced her new space craft. Pota couldn't help but chuckle a little to himself. He had seen high class Saiyans gifted high class straight off the line space ships and turn their nose up at them like they were moldy bread. Yet here Gira stood rejoicing at the fact that she got her own small vessel like she had been handed the keys to the universe. Pota couldn't help but admire Gira's humility in comparison to the entitled shits he grew up with.
But Pota simply followed Gira into the elevator ascending into the ship. Unbeknownst to Pota he was being followed.
"Is that him?" Asked a gruff Namekian to a heavily scarred Saiyan.
"Yup that's Pota. Client said he was exiled a few months ago." He would step forward and quickly toss a small tracking device onto Gira's ship. "We'll track them for now but its payday today Trombone!" Declared the Saiyan as they smiled at the thought of easy zeni.
Meanwhile on the ship Gira and Pota were rejoicing over the newly acquired ship along with it's own AI and a gravity chamber. What Pota didn't was the kitchen. Fully stocked fridge and pantry, as well as a four burner oven, and all the cooking tools one would need. Pota marveled over the whole setup. Of course the previous owner was a Saiyan so one couldn't expect any less.
"This is where I live bro." Declared Pota to no one in particular.

Gira looked over at Pota after she got tired of waiting. "Come on, let's give it a try." The half-Saiyan thought for a moment. "Let's see... the guy told me that all I have to do is tell the ship what I want, soooo..." Gira crossed her arms. "Okay, we'll start off at ten times gravity. That should be a good place to start for you. I've already done that with Articho sensei, but I want to start you off at something easy. I could barely move my first time." She grinned. "SAM! Engage the damage shield and set the chamber to ten times Earth's gravity."
"As you wish, Miss Gira. Have fun."
"Oh, I will." Gira giggled with glee. After that, the lights dimmed and a shimmering orange radiance coated the entire inside of the training room from floor to ceiling before vanishing completely. After a series of higher pitched beeps, a low-pitched one sounded. Once it did so, the air suddenly got much heavier as everything increased ten times in weight. Gira felt the increased weight on her shoulders, but she got used to it almost immediately. She had already done this before after all.
The teen then began to explain. "The damage shield will protect this room and the ship from any damage during our training, so there's no need to hold back." The hybrid grinned proudly. "Convinced him to throw that in for free." She cleared her throat. "Alright, so to begin this times ten gravity training session..." She paused for dramatic effect. "Come at me. Land one blow on me and I will let you have the cookies from my stash." She grinned mischievously.
"But you should know that those are my favorite, so i'm not gonna just let you win. If we have a deal, come at me. Show me the results of your training." Gira got into her stance and smirked confidently at Pota.

As Gira turned on the gravity chamber Pota almost fell straight on his face. it felt as if he had somehow been filled with lead. Every move was an effort after which felt like he had just tried to fight a meteor and lost terribly. Gira mentioned that she had already done this training with a guy named Articho some one Pota wasn't very familiar with. But if Gira called him sensei then he must certainly be stronger than her. Pota struggled to a standing position and chuckled at Gira obviously pleased at the concept of the gravity chamber. That was when Gira pulled out the big guns.
"Land one blow on me and I will let you have the cookies from my stash." Gira said with a challenging smile however Pota didn't need to be goaded on he knew about her secret cookie stash unfortunately not its location. The double chocolate chocolate chip cookies a delicacy that Gira kept to herself most Saiyans were like that keeping their respective favorite foods to themselves. Pota liked his dinosaur beef and vegetable stew. His brother Onio liked his Roasted Squid Ramen. Gira had her cookies.
Pota suddenly powered up without a single thought and rushed Gira blinking behind her as he delivered a round house kick to her head. Should that fail he would then throw a punch at her afterwards followed up with a ki blast in his off hand which he would attempt to hide from her view until the last moment.

Gira blinked in surprise as Pota suddenly found the motivation he needed to overcome the gravity. The suddenness of his onslaught caught her off-guard a bit, but by feeling out the Saiyan's energy, she could barely manage to avoid his kick hopping slightly to the left. As the punch came next, Gira ducked under it, a smirk forming back on her face. 'Heh. Wow, he's definitely been training. He's almost as powerful as he was when last we sparred with his training gear on.' A light bulb came on in Gira's head after that. The teen smirked briefly. 'Let's see if I can get him to show me his full power.'
The teen hybrid gave Pota a friendly smile as he came at her with a ki blast he had kept concealed in his off-hand. Just as Pota's attack almost hit its mark, the girl vanished from sight, reappearing above her partner's head and attempting to deliver a swift, but gentle kick to the back of his head. Should it hit, it would hurt a bit, but not too much. The attack was more meant to send Pota off balance and lead him to fall on the floor. Regardless, of whether or not she managed to hit her target, she would stand calmly a good distance away from Pota, a casual smile on her face.
"Not bad." She then held one arm out, fingers pointed straight up. She beckoned for Pota to come at her again. Hopefully, with the motivation of the cookies and his anger, Pota would show her what he could really do. She was eager to test Pota's strength for herself. She too had gotten much stronger since they last sparred. Her strength had nearly doubled since then. She was curious to see to what degree Pota had grown. The excitement built within her. Soon, she wouldn't be able to contain it.

As Gira dodged the onslaught of Pota's attacks she sent a ferocious kick to his head colliding like a freight train through a pile of rubble sending him flying at the far wall. Pota didn't lose his head though. He used his ki control to pivot his body in mid flight and land on the wall on his feet. He immediately recognized a panel that held some weights they used for lifting. He pressed the button to open the panel and grabbed some of the weights. Jumping high in the air above Gira he did a flip at the peak of his flight and threw the weights down at Gira who was directly beneath him using the gravity to increase the weights fall speed.
"I want those cookies!!" Pota yelled as the weights screamed down toward Gira like the sound a bomb makes while its falling to the ground. As Pota landed he would pivot around and fire off several dozen ki blasts at Gira. Finally he would charge a rather large last blast firing it at his sensei determined to get a chocolatey taste of the secret cookies.
After his wild attacks were done he would slap his hand together as if saying a silent prayer as green fiery ki built up in his palms for a nova burst.

Gira blinked, surprised again that Pota managed to recover from her kick so quickly. 'Wow, I didn't know that cookies would be that effective of a motivator.' As Pota opened up the control panel next, Gira watched him with a confused expression. 'Huh. Wonder what's in there. Haven't gotten a chance to fully read the manua-- oh crap!' Gira soon found out where the weights were kept in the training room as Pota soon began to throw several of them at the hybrid. 'Damn it damn it damn it!'
Gira leaped all over the training room, back and front flipping out of the way of each of the weights. They were heavy enough on their own, but the increased gravity practically made them deadly weapons. As each weight crashed to the floor, they cracked the tiles ever so slightly. Thankfully the damage shield prevented them from really messing up her training room. As soon as the onslaught stopped, Gira looked over at Pota, noticing he was charging up his signature attack.
The teen stood where she was, however, a smirk on her face that revealed just how excited she was. "Come on, Pota! Show me what you got or you'll never get to experience the chocolate-y heaven of my double chocolate chocolate chip cookies!" The hybrid's smirk grew. 'Come on, Pota... show me how strong you've gotten.' She crossed her arms and simply watched as she felt Pota's power spike higher and higher.

Pota's fiery green ki shot up around him forming a large dome of fire around the young Saiyan. As he finished his charge he seemed to not even be there anymore. Pota's eyes had rolled into the back of his head out of pure want of the chocolate delicacy. He had now gone insane over his need for them never being able to afford them himself and Gira not being willing to share. Pota let out a terrible battle cry as only a Saiyan could give as he outstretched his arms and fired off his Nova Burst. However instead of shouting its usual name he shouted only one word. "Choooooocolaaaaate!! Chooooooocolaaaaate!! Choooooooocolaaaaate!!" Pota's yell was so loud it was hard to tell what was shaking the chamber his yell or his attack. As the ki blast rocketed towards Gira like a arrow caught fire Pota would flare his ki pushing one last bit of energy into his attack making it increase in size and attempt to overwhelm Gira. As he finished firing off his beam he shot towards Gira under the cover of his attack to make his closing the distance little easier than just rushing Gira. In fact this was Pota's plan from the beginning when Gira mentioned the cookies. He planned to rush her relentlessly making her believe that he was simply desperately charging her making him predictable. But this was the peak of his plan to suddenly change tactics hopefully catching Gira by surprise enough to win his snack.

Gira's eyes widened a bit in surprise at Pota's attack. With his eyes rolled back in his head and the battle cry of a mad Saiyan, he fired his Nova Burst directly at her, screaming for chocolate instead of calling out the attack's name. 'Oh... that might be a tiny bit of an issue.' Gira stood where she was as the attack drew ever closer. 'Well, guess I have no choice.' As Pota's attack made contact with her, the Saiyan flew through his own energy to deliver a punch to her face. For a moment, it appeared victory-- as well as a snack of heavenly double chocolate chocolate chip cookies-- was at hand. Pota would see his fist collide with the girl's face, only to find that it passed right through her! In an instant, Gira appeared right above the Saiyan's head.
"Heads up!" Gira made a cheesy joke as she landed gently on the top of Pota's head with the tip of her right boot, pushing off and hopefully sending the Saiyan crashing into the wall. Regardless of her success, Gira would land gracefully on her feet. "Don't tell me that's all you've got!" A smirk formed on her lips as she stood behind Pota, putting her guard up lazily and inviting her training partner to try again. "You've gotta try harder than that if you want to even stand a chance." The teen hoped that a bit of light taunting could get Pota to show her his full strength. 'However... it seems he has devolved into saying only one word. I hope that isn't permanent.' Gira gestured for Pota to come at her, her smirk fading into a casual smile.

In his usual state Pota wasn't prone to getting pissed. However he wasn't in the normal state of mind he usually was in. In fact as Gira stepped on his head along with her snarky comment he just about lost it completely. But in a brief moment of clarity he managed to snap out of his rage as he was about to collide into the chamber's wall. In that moment he had an idea. She expected him to create a diversion with his attacks to distract her away from the main one it was his trump strategic move. But she didn't expect him to come straight at her with a frontal assault.
'No usual frontal attack will do though she'll simply dodge or parry it away I have to take her by surprise.' That's when it hit him. He waited until the last moment when he was just about to collide into the wall. Then just as he was about to make impact he charged a nova burst at the last second and fired it off propelling him towards Gira at high speeds. He looked over his shoulder with a confident smirk eyes now full of awareness and not rage and simply said. "Made ya look."
He would shoot towards Gira attempting to impact her catching her off guard. At the same time using the force of both her attack and his to barrel into her. None the less this would count as a hit and win him chocolately goodness.

Gira had her celebration too early, it seemed. As Pota fell forward towards the wall, he fired off his Nova Burst, launching himself towards her at incredible speed. The strategy caught Gira off-guard, the Saiyan slamming into her back-first. The teen fell to the ground, but recovered quickly and got on her feet. "Nice one! I gotta say, I didn't see that coming." The half-Saiyan smiled sheepishly and chuckled. She eventually shrugged, however. "Well, a deal's a deal. As promised..."
Gira reached into the pocket of her sweater and pulled out a capsule, pressing the button on the top and tossing it to the ground. In a plume of smoke, a small white tin appeared on the ground. "My real stash is at home, but I never leave without a backup. Good planning, right?" Gira picked the tin up off the floor and opened the top, pulling out a stack of three chocolatey baked treats. She held a cookie of her own in her mouth, offering Pota the others.
"Good job today. That was a pretty good strategy. You caught me off guard there." Gira smiled. She definitely let her guard down too often. 'I gotta improve on that. I can see that weakness becoming a problem in the future.' She then looked around the chamber. "Well, I didn't intend to come here, but things could have worked out worse." The half-Saiyan munched on one of her cookies. She closed her eyes and sighed happily, escaping to a chocolate-covered heaven with each bite. These truly were her favorite snack.
