Dende smiled at the sight of a young boy flying through the air while carrying a girl who was holding bags of groceries. Earlier he and Mr. Popo had felt disturbances below and knew something had happened to one of the Z warriors, so it was no suprise that Goku was stopping by. But why he had a young woman with him was a mystery to the guardian.
"Goku, it's good to see you," Dende greeted.
Goku nodded, "Same here. I wish this was a social gathering though..."
"Dende and Popo felt something bad happening below," said Mr. Popo, "Something must be wrong if Goku is here. What is it?"
"Goten's been kidnapped," the saiyan explained, "And only Valese here can save him. Except she's no where near this enemy's level. However, I figured a few 'years' in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber could help catch up to her level."
"I see," Dende murmured, "But the entrance to the Time Chamber's destroyed. There's no way you can enter it."
"We can enter if I use Instant Tranmission," answered a deeper voice.
Valese turned around, and shrieked at the sight of a tall, bulky man with red fur covering his arms and chest, long black spikey hair, and narrow yellow eyes. Goku blinked, then laughed nervously, "Oops, sorry... guess I forgot to tell you ahead of time.... Don't worry, I'm still the same Goku, only this is my Super Saiyan 4 form. It's the only way I can use Instant Transmission."
"Oh..." Valese stared, "This is getting stranger and stranger..."
"You still want to go through with this?" asked Goku, "You can back out now if you wish."
Valese shook her head, "I don't care what I have to go through... I'm going to get Goten back!"
Goku smirked, "Allright then... let's go."
The four made their way to a doorway, and opened the door. But inside was only an empty room. "This is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber...?" asked Valese.
"Not quite," said Goku as he led the girl inside, "The doorway from the inside was destroyed, so the gateway was destroyed as well. However, if the actual dimension itself is still here, I should be able to transport us both there, so long as it exists."
"You can do that?" asked Dende.
Goku nodded, "Yep. I improved the technique just a bit." He took a hold of Valese's arm, "Ready to go?"
The girl nodded, "Yes... let's do this."
The Super Saiyan 4 put two fingers to his head, and the two vanished.
Once inside, Valese immediatley fell to the ground, the groceries spilling everywhere, as she struggled to breathe. Goku was immediatley at her side, rubbing her back. "Aigh," he muttered, "I forgot about the density here! The air's thicker and the gravity's five times heavier."
"How long... are we here... again?" Valese gasped.
"At most five years," Goku responded, "It's going to be a rough start, but I'm sure this'll help toughen up your musceles and even your lungs."
The burnette struggled to stand back to her feet, "If... you... say so...."
"Right," Goku sweated a bit, "I guess the first step to our training is to just get use to the room."
Goten pulled and tugged at the tight steel bounding his arms and legs, but it wouldn't get loose. "Argh!! What kind of bondage is this??"
"It's a spectality titanium steel," responded a female voice from the other side of the cell, "Very rare in this side of the galaxy. Not even the strongest warriors could break free. I was able to get it from a space pirate's brigade, in exchange for a chance to battle for my hand in marriage... obviously, they lost."
"What kind of person are you?" Goten growled, "I don't want anything to do with you!"
"Don't tell me you haven't heard of the Atalantan Race and what we do?"
"Actually, Dad told me all about it... and the slimey underhanded things you do just to get what you want. If you really want me, why not just battle me like you did with my father?"
"Well, I could," said Spectra, "But then if I gave you that choice, you'd obviously choose to skip out on the opportunity." She stroked the demi-saiyan's cheek, "At least give me a chance, pumpkin."
"I am NOT your pumpkin!" Goten sneered, shaking his head to push her hand away, "I don't care what it takes, I'm getting out of here and making sure you keep your sorry carcass out of this galaxy once and for all!"
"You talk tough," said Spectra, "But once we're married, you'll see what a great wife I can be... much better than that dimit with you eariler..."
"You mean Valese?"
"Is that her name? Well, after a week, I'll let you see Miss Valese one more time... before I destroy her."
"WHAT?!"
"Oh, the dimitted girl took my offer to fight for your freedom. Of course, she doesn't look like she can carry even a grain of rice across the room, so you know sooner or later, you and I will be together in the end."
Goten stared ahead, like he had just seen a ghost. "No..."
"Yes..." Spectra mused, stroking his cheek once more, "You just see."
It was a rough start in the beginning but it didn't take long for Valese to adjust to the room's atmosphere. About a month later, she was able to move and breathe as if she were outside on the Earth. Goku assured that if adjusting here was easy, imagine how much easier it would be back out there.
It didn't take long for the girl to master the basic martial arts. She could punch, kick and counter without a problem. Halfway into their second year, Goku felt she was ready to kick it up a notch, as in "Z Style" training. The first thing he taught her was to connect to her ki, summon it, then use it to either fly to attack. Once mastering her ki abilities, her basic martial arts greatly improved.
Spectra was strong, but Goku estimated her full strength somewhere between Tien and Krillin. It had already been three years since he started training Valese, but with every moment dedicated to get stronger in a room with dense air and high gravity, she was slowly but surely catching up to the Atalantan, even if she was just a mere human. Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, and even Uub were once mere humans. It was no suprise to Goku that Valese could achieve such strength as well.
"Well Valese," said Goku one day after a full four years since they started, "You've improved alot. I'm really impressed... and proud."
"Thanks..." Valese murmured, staring at herself up and down at a full-length mirror. She was now wearing an orange gi that once belonged to Goku. He certainly had plenty to spare.
"Are you okay?" the saiyan boy came up to her, sensing she was troubled by something.
"Has it really been four years?" said Valese, "I mean, back then, I was only half a year younger than Goten... but now I'm four years older. And I don't look as pretty anymore..."
"I guess I forgot to mention that you might not have the same... 'girlish' figure you use to have," said Goku, "But looks aren't everything. If Goten really loves you, he'll still stay with you, even if you look all muscley and four years older. You still love him, right?"
"I still think about him," responded the girl, "Here, it's been four years, and I really wanna see him again, but if he was really gone for 4 years, I might've moved on... but knowing that for him it's only been four days, I can't give up now! I know he's waiting for me! And I will not turn back..."
Goku smiled. "Good for you," he said, "And for the record.... I still think you look beautiful."
Valese looked down at him and smiled.
"It shouldn't be long now," said Goku, "You've gotten really strong, but Spectra's still ahead. I'd say maybe a few more months should put you two dead even... that is, if you want to continue."
Valese balled her fists and nodded, "Let's do it!"
