7:30a.m.

Ally is still in her night clothes. She's had a rough night with alot on her mind. She stands on the balcony and she looks up at the fortress. It seems so close yet its still so far away. Ally just looks at it. Mickie walks out of the bathroom. She's got her battle clothes on and she walks to her bed and she sits down and she puts her boots on. Mickie then looks at Ally. She can sense the war going on inside Ally. Mickie stands up and she walks out on the balcony.

Mickie: Good morning.

Mickie leans on the rail. Ally looks at her.

Ally: Hi Mickie.

Mickie: How you feeling this morning?

Ally: Not good. It was a rough night.

Mickie: Really? And why's that?

Ally: Mickie...did...Trevor really hand pick me to fight the Commander here?

Mickie: Of course...Why do you ask? Are you afraid?

Mickie smiles as she looks at Ally. She can sense the fear in Ally's heart.

Ally: No. No of course not.

Mickie: Ally.

Ally: Okay okay. Yes. I'm alittle afraid.

Mickie: You should never lie to yourself. Its just as important to be truthful with yourself as it is others.

Mickie looks up at the fortress.

Mickie: So tell me...why are you so afraid? I thought you wanted to be a Saiyan warrior.

Ally: I do...I just thought...Well...I thought I would have more training first...I mean...come on I've only had 4 lesson's. What could Trevor expect from me?

Mickie: Listen...Trevor would never hand pick you for a fight...if he didn't think your ready. The first battle is always the hardest.

Ally: I got ya...but.

Mickie: But.

Mickie looks at Ally.

Mickie: What?

Ally: What do you think Mickie? Do...you think I'm ready for my first battle?

Mickie: I do. I believe in you...now...you need to believe in yourself.

Ally smiles as she looks back at the fortress.

Ally: I understand.

Mickie: Remember your training. Keep your emotions under control and you'll walk away the winner.

Ally: Thanks Mickie.

Mickie: Now...Go get dressed. Its almost breakfast.

Mickie pats Ally on the shoulder. She then turns and she walks back into the room. Ally turns to her.

Ally: Um...Mickie.

Mickie stops and she looks at Ally.

Mickie: Yes Ally?

Ally walks into the room.

Ally: I've...got a confession to make.

Mickie: What might that be?

Ally: You know that Frost held me prisoner once.

Mickie: Yes.

Ally: But...there's something I didn't tell you.

Mickie crosses her arms.

Mickie: Oh?

Ally: Yes.

Ally pulls out a chair and she sits in it. Mickie takes a seat in another chair.

Ally: Frost has another prisoner.

Mickie: Really? And why did you wait so long to tell me?

Ally: I...wasn't going to tell you.

Mickie: Why?

Ally: I don't know. I just...didn't care I guess.

Mickie: Who is it?

Ally: She belongs to an Alien race. She's not a Saiyan like us.

Mickie: I'm disappointed in you Ally.

Ally: I wasn't going to tell you...but...after training with you...and being with you all...I'm...turning into a different girl. We have to stand up for our family and friends.

Mickie: Who is she? How do you know her?

Ally: She's...my best friend.

Mickie: And you were just going to abandon her?

Ally: No...I mean...Yes. Look I was selfish. I learned about your team and I just wanted to find you so you would train me to be a Saiyan warrior.

Mickie looks toward the floor. She looks disappointed.

Ally: I'm sorry Mickie.

Mickie: You made a mistake. Its okay. You made it right. You told me about her...Now we can help her.

Ally: She might be able to help the team.

Mickie: So how did you become best friends with a girl from an Alien race?

Ally: Long story short. I went to a camp when I was 9 years old. It was full of many children from all kinds of Alien races. I was the only Saiyan at the camp...I was...feared by almost everyone. There were races from all over the galaxy there. Even some human's. Funny things is...even the adults feared me...just because I'm a Saiyan. But there was a girl there. She wasn't afraid of me...and she was very friendly. She turned out to be my only friend there. And of course after we left and returned to our home worlds. We stayed in touch with each other. Well. After I had that fight with my parents and my brother and sister. I packed my stuff and I ran away from home. I contacted my friend. And she came to our home world and she picked me up...So I went to live with her and her family on Ryloth. Everything was great until Frost showed up...Roughly about 2 years after I moved there. And Mickie...Bad things happen to the female's. Because most of them are very beautiful. They...often get traded off into slavery. To be servants. Entertainer's. Dancer's. Even sex slaves.

Mickie crosses her arms and her legs.

Mickie: Goodness. That's awful.

Ally: Yeah...I know. Look...I feel bad for not telling you about her...but...we've got to save her.

Mickie: Don't worry...We will.

Ally: Thank you Mickie.

Mickie: Now change your clothes and let's go have breakfast....Then we'll move out for the fortress.

Ally: Got it.

Mickie: I'll meet you in the dining room. Take a few moments to yourself.

Mickie stands up and she leaves the room. She closes the door back. Ally sits there for a moment.

Ally: Alright...I can do this. Nothing to be afraid of.

Ally begins to change her clothes.

[Trevor Belmont]

after breakfast the team continues on toward the Fortress

Trevor: okay before we head out, Katie, Tori, I should have asked this of you two sooner but I was preoccupied with ally here.

Tori: oh really now?

Katie: hey cut that out shes only 16!

Tori: Oh!... gosh sometimes its easy to forget age when you're a saiyan...

Trevor: Mamma mia.... its always about that with you isn't it?

Mickie: Go to horny jail Tori.

*Mickie bonks Tori with a broomhandle*

Tori: owie

Trevor: Good grief... (im not that desperate...) no you two and that includes me heck Mickie too the rest of the journey i want us all to be in super saiyan as much as we can, none of us have even mastered the first level yet so we need to stay in the form and let our bodies get used to it im also ordering a few hours of meditation per day to focus our minds, Ally you can do the meditation too its very helpful to not only relax and focus the mind but work on energy control.

Ally: uh... got it. huh I didn't know you meditated Trev..

Trevor: Honestly been slacking off on it, but we're gonna hit that again hard. Understood?

team: yes sir!

Mickie: Hey wait im the leader here!

Trevor: hahaha! sometimes i can't help myself. Anyways those of us with Super Saiyan, light it up if you get too tired you can power down but as soon as you can handle it power back up and meditate in super saiyan form too we all have to work on the form's effects on our emotions and energy bleedout.

Ally: Wow, i had no idea Super Saiyan had so many drawbacks...

the team powers up to super saiyan 1 Trevor's aura is the calmest looking.

Ally: Woah, I still can't quite get over seeing it.

they hit the road leaving the inn behind them they just chat and carry on, they hike over hills and swim over rivers cuz Frost's men blew all the bridges up.

Ally: yikes! cold water cold water!

Tori: thank goodness i dont wear white..

Katie: brrrrrrr

Trevor: that water was quite a bit chillier than i thought it'd be.

the wind blows furiously

Ally: EEP!

Mickie: Trevor, we're soaked through and the winds picking up, we're gonna catch cold.

Trevor: no you aren't.

Trevor gathers some wood up

Trevor: Fire Wave!

Trevor makes a big bonfire the team huddle around it

Katie: ahh much better.

Trevor: Flame Mammoth was good for something.

Tori: im hungry, and i saw some pretty big fish back there.

Trevor: I guess it is about lunch time.

Tori walks over to the river she uses Chameleon Sting to spear a few big ol fish she returns and roasts them over the fire, Trevor adds more wood its nice and toasty.

Ally: ahhh...

Tori: Alright, some goku sized fish for lunch.

Trevor: Well, may as well eat up

after they finish off the lunch they just sit around the fire Mickie Trevor Tori and Katie are still powered up

Trevor: So girls, feelin tired yet?

Tori: a little

Katie: same, i can keep going powered up like this.

Mickie: this hasn't been so bad

Trevor: Yeah, im hardly feeling any energy bleed anymore.

Tori: you look completely calm man.

Katie: yeah, I can feel energy flowing out and im a bit agitated.

Ally: I can't believe im just hanging out around Super Saiyans, ive heard so many stories.

Trevor: Yeah im sure you have. they're mostly true thooough some bits may be exaggerated or specifically referring to the Legendary Super Saiyan, which is a unique power all on its own, one that can completely destroy you if you let the rage win. This is why I want us all to work hard on controlling our emotions.

Ally: Mickie, your power coulda destroyed you?

Mickie: Yes, the rage it made me feel was pretty intense so much so that my heart had to work several times harder than any saiyans heart should have, several times ive went into what was basically cardiac arrest...

Ally: my goodness...

Mickie: but, my friends and family they were there for me and they helped me bring it under control now my rage is a weapon and I control it as such.

Ally: Awesome.

they sit around and chat around the fire some more, eventually they put the fire out and continue onward, the path eventually goes up again so more hiking it is after what feels like forever they make it to more even ground but the path goes down again the fortress looms ever closer. the Fortress rests at the end of a big stone bridge the only path inside, the drawbridge is up its still a bit of a walk to get to the bridge but they're close now close enough to see its filthy with Frost soldiers.

Trevor: Guards everywhere...

Ally: wonder if they can see us?

a big cannon pops up from the top of the fort and fires a big Bomb-omb out and blasts the team Trevor and Tori go rolling down the down the hill Mickie and the others get up and run for cover.

Trevor and Tori hit the bottom of the hill roughly they end up on top of each other

Tori: ow.....

Trevor: she... had to ask....

Ally: Oops....

Mickie: everyone alright? i think they just wanted to mess with us they aren't firing again...

Trevor: Peachy...

Tori: i aint complainin.

some frost soldiers show up they start firing on Trevor and Tori

Katie: look out! Rolling Shield!

Katie steps in and surrounds them with Rolling Shield the blasts are reflected back at the soldiers killing them.

Tori: c'mon Trevor get up!

Trevor places a hand down to get up he feels a horrible pain in his arm

Trevor: AGHH

Katie: I can't hold this for very long, what's wrong!?

Trevor: I'm fine...

Trevor gets to his feet his right arm is completely limp at his side

Katie: you are not!

Trevor: I only need one.

Trevor powers up to Super Saiyan 2 he charges the Spiral Crush Buster and fires it one handed it wipes out all the soldiers in its wake.

Katie: Woaahh..

Trevor: Target practice.

Trevor looks at his arm he grabs it and pops it back into place with a sickening sound.

Trevor: FFFFFFF.....FUDGE!!

Trevor moves the arm around and tests it out.

Trevor: Whew, not broken at least. Not broken..

Tori: oh man i heard that pop.. eugh...

Ally: you alright?

Trevor: I'm fine, just popped outta socket.

Mickie: Geez, that was rude of em. thank goodness we're at the rest stop though. I guess we're roughing it tonight doesn't seem to be an inn anywhere

Trevor: Dont worry, I came prepared.

they set up camp and settle in for the evening, everyones in base form now as they're winding down.

Trevor: you all went the whole day as super saiyans, i'm impressed. Katie and Tori especially.

Katie: yeah, wasn't easy but we managed. im beat though..

Tori: same..

Katie: gonna change into night clothes, do you have a privacy screen or anything set up Trev?

Trev: uhhh well i guess just change in the tents, the front flap zips up.

Katie: okay

Trev: may as well get dressed too.

everyones in night clothes now Trevor is preparing some food he brought. they eat and chat

Tori: Im sleepy...

Katie: Uh Trevor is there enough room in these tents for all of us?

Trevor: each tent can hold about 3. why?

Katie: Me, Mickie, Ally, Tori, you...

Trevor: uhoh.

Tori: Well i guess one of us is sharing with Trevor, I CALL DIBS

Katie: huh!? wait unfair!!!

Tori: neener neener you're too slow!

Trevor: How did I goof that up...

Tori runs inside Trevor's tent

Trevor: Shes.... excited about this.

Katie: Ugh, mamma mia....

Trevor: Look, dont worry i wont..

Katie: I'd rather you not we dont need to hear that.

Ally: huh what?

Mickie: n-nevermind.

Trevor: good grief... im gonna tie you to a tree. fine im comin im comin.

they settle into their tents for a nights rest.

Trevor: Good night everyone

everyone: goodnight

Tori: it's peaceful out here, considering we got shot with a cannon earlier...

Trevor: Yeah, im gonna be sore tomorrow.

Tori: oh yeah.. hey shouldn't you ice that arm? what if theres swelling?

Trevor feels his arm, theres definitely some swelling.

Trevor: hrm.. yeah it is swelling.

Tori: that wont do..

Tori fixes up some ice packs on Trevor's arm.

Trevor: hrm, thanks.. already feels much better.

Tori: Don't fall asleep with em on

Trevor: yeah i know..

Tori: are you... okay sharing a tent with me?

Trevor: yeah, why?

Tori: just dont want you to be uncomfortable.

Trevor: I'm fine, really.

Tori: by the waay... wheres that Alucard guy?

Trevor: on the ship helpin Trish. i think we can handle this adventure without him.

Tori: he was a big help against Sigma, taking out two of the Maverick generals.

Trevor: Yeah, but he said he wanted to sit this one out. i think he's just... done. he's lived a long long life longer than saiyans even cuz he's gosh probably over a thousand now.

Tori: huh!? for real?

Trevor: been fighting pretty much that entire time too, i think he's just... Done. ya know?

Tori: yeah... i know... hey Trevor?

Trevor: Yeah?

Tori cuddles up to Trevor Trevor looks puzzled but smiles.

Trevor: it is a bit chilly tonight.. isn't it?

Tori: yeah.

Trevor puts his arms around Tori's waist he takes the ice packs off.

Tori: Do you miss her?

Trevor: Everyday

Tori: Trevor...

Trevor: But, I won't let myself be stuck in the past anymore. I went down that road, it's a dead end street... I let myself succumb and look what happened.

Tori: your.. "other"

Trevor: That thing came from me, and now it's threatening this world.

Ally is up and listening in as the tents are pretty close.

Ally: "Other"?

Trevor: When Sypha and my son died, I thought my whole world died with it. But... my world also has you guys in it.

Ally: his... son? this Sypha person his wife?

Tori: Poor Mickie didn't speak for quite awhile after Sebastian died. But I've begun to notice her actin more like her old self.

Ally: Goodness.. what has happened to these people?

Ally lays her head down not wanting to really hear anymore.

the sounds of the nocturnal wildlife surround them as well as the river nearby.

Trevor: I'm just... tired, tired of the doom and gloom tired of the nightmares. When I meet that "other" me, I'm going to make it understand it has no hold over me anymore.

Tori: I know you can do it.

Trevor: Thanks..

the pair falls silent as they drift off to sleep a figure places a hand on Trevor's shoulder that makes him feel a familiar warmth he smiles.

Sonia: My son, be strong guide the youngling on her path to becoming a warrior. Do not let despair rob you of your light.. know that even in death i am always with you... i love you.

the figure fades away

9:00a.m.

Mickie, Katie, Ally, Victoria and Trevor are sitting around their small camp. Trevor has changed into his normal battle clothes. The girls however are still in their night clothes.

Katie: Okay. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I'm hungry...and there's no place to have breakfast.

Victoria: Well. The extra rest did me good.

Katie: Yeah. I do feel better. Just hungry.

Mickie: Don't worry everyone. I've got enough food here for all of us.

Mickie digs through her back pack and she begins to pass food around.

Mickie: It may not be the Royal breakfasts we've been having...but at least its food.

Everyone begins to dig in. Ally looks troubled. Trevor looks at her.

Trevor: Whoa.

Trevor and Mickie both can sense the war inside Ally's heart. Trevor looks over at Mickie and he leans in to her.

Trevor: You feel that?

Mickie: Yeah...Ally's at war with herself.

Trevor: Any reason why? Oh no...don't tell me...she's afraid to go into battle today.

Mickie: No...I really believe she's ready but...she told me something that...well. I can understand why she's at war with herself.

Trevor: What'd I miss?

Mickie: Well.

Katie: So Tori...What was it like getting to room with Trevor?

Victoria: It was nice. I enjoyed his company. I think he enjoyed mine too.

Katie: And you really didn't do anything?

Victoria: Nothing more than sharing the tent.

Katie: Maybe next time I'll get to share a tent with him. Would be nice to have some male company for a change.

Victoria: It was really nice.

Trevor: Ryloth? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before. Maybe not though. Did she say what kind of Alien race lives there?

Mickie: No. She didn't even tell me the girl's name. But I can tell she's upset with herself for not telling us.

Trevor: I can understand to a point...I just wish she wouldn't have waited so long to tell us...but at least we know now...so we can help her.

Mickie: I know.

Trevor: I wish she would have told us what kind of Alien she is...so we would at least know what we're looking for.

Mickie: I know...but I think we'll know her when we find her.

Trevor: Probably right.

They all finish breakfast. The girls then begin to change into their battle outfits. Katie goes in one tent and she changes while Victoria uses the other tent. Mickie walks to Ally.

Mickie: Ally. I've got something for you.

Ally: What's that?

Mickie smiles and she hands Ally a black and red battle outfit.

Ally: What? What is this?

Ally takes the outfit.

Mickie: Its your battle outfit. I made it for you.

Ally smiles.

Ally: I...don't know what to say...Other than Layla...no one has ever shown me so much kindness.

Mickie: Layla? Your friend right?

Ally: Yes...I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you her name.

Ally smiles as she looks at her battle outfit.

Ally: This...means so much to me.

Mickie: Hey...your one of us now kid.

Ally looks at Mickie.

Ally: What? You mean?

Mickie smiles.

Mickie: Welcome to the team. Your family now.

Ally tries to keep from crying. She smiles and she hugs Mickie. Mickie smiles and she embraces her.

Ally: Thank you.

Trevor smiles as he watches Ally.

Trevor: Wow. She's like a child on Christmas morning...she sure has been though alot...I know the feeling. All too well. Don't worry Mickie. I promise you. We will bring out the best in Ally. She will become a strong and mighty Saiyan warrior.

Katie and Victoria walk out of the tents. They are dressed in their battle outfits.

Mickie: Go on Ally. Go put on your battle outfit.

Ally smiles as she takes her boots and she walks into a tent. Mickie walks into the other tent and they change clothes. Mickie walks out and then Ally walks out. Ally looks more like a Saiyan warrior now.

Katie: Wow.

Victoria: Looking good kid.

Trevor: Looking more like a Saiyan warrior already.

Ally takes her long blonde hair and she pulls it into a ponytail. She then looks at the fortress.

Ally: Come on everyone...we got a land to take back.

Trevor and Mickie smile. They then move out for the fortress.
