Chapter 3

Two years had passed since Gine and Kakarot arrived on Earth. The small island that Master Roshi called home had become a sanctuary for them. The days were filled with training, laughter, and the simple joys of life. Kakarot, now a two-year-old boy, was full of energy and curiosity, exploring every corner of the island with wide-eyed wonder.

Early one morning, as the sun began to rise over the ocean, Gine stood on the beach, her feet sinking into the cool sand. She took a deep breath, feeling the salty breeze on her face. 'Another day to grow stronger,' she thought, her resolve unwavering.

"Ka...me...ha...me...HA!" Gine's voice echoed across the water as a powerful beam of energy shot from her hands, crashing into the waves with a tremendous force. She watched the water spray into the air, a satisfied smile on her face.

Roshi, who had been observing from the porch, clapped his hands in admiration. "Incredible, Gine! Your Kamehameha is even stronger than before."

Gine turned to him, her eyes shining with determination. "Thank you, Roshi. Your training has helped me a lot. But I still have a long way to go."

Roshi nodded, his expression thoughtful. "You've come a long way, Gine. Your power is truly remarkable. But remember, balance is just as important as strength."

Gine glanced over at Kakarot, who was playing in the sand nearby. "I know, Roshi. I want to be strong to protect Kakarot, but I also want to be a good mother to him."

Roshi smiled warmly. "You're doing a great job, Gine. Kakarot is lucky to have you."

As the days turned into weeks, Gine continued to train tirelessly, pushing herself to new limits. She balanced her training with taking care of Kakarot, ensuring he was always safe and happy. The bond between mother and son grew stronger with each passing day.

One afternoon, as Gine was practicing her martial arts forms, Kakarot toddled over to her, his tiny hands reaching out. "Mama!" he called, his voice filled with excitement.

Gine scooped him up, her heart swelling with love. "Hello, my little warrior. Did you have fun playing?"

Kakarot giggled, his eyes sparkling with joy. "Yes, Mama!"

Roshi watched them from a distance, a smile on his face. 'Gine has found a perfect balance,' he thought. 'She's becoming stronger every day, but she never forgets her role as a mother.'

In the quiet moments, when Kakarot was asleep and the island was still, Gine's thoughts often turned to Raditz. 'I hope he's safe,' she thought, her heart heavy with worry. 'I wish I knew where he was.'

One evening, as the sun set over the ocean, Gine sat on the porch, watching the stars appear in the sky. Roshi joined her, sensing her unease. "You're thinking about someone, aren't you?" he asked gently.

Gine nodded, her eyes filled with concern. "Yes. I wonder if he's safe. I wish I could know."

Roshi placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Who are you thinking about, Gine?"

Gine took a deep breath, her voice steady. "I have another son, Raditz. He's older than Kakarot. When our planet was destroyed, he was on a mission. I wonder if he's safe."

Roshi nodded, understanding her worry. "Don't worry about him. I'm sure he's out there, surviving. And one day, you might find each other again."

Gine smiled, grateful for Roshi's words. "Thank you, Roshi. Your support means a lot to me."

As the months passed, Gine's power continued to grow. She mastered new techniques and honed her skills, always striving to become stronger. Roshi was amazed by her progress, often marveling at her strength and determination.

One day, as they were training on the beach, Gine focused her energy, her hands glowing with a brilliant light. "Void wave" she shouted, unleashing a powerful attack that sent shockwaves through the air. The beam combined the intense, focused energy of the Kamehameha with spatial distortions, creating a devastating effect.

Roshi's eyes widened in awe. "Gine, that attack... it's incredible! You've created your own signature move."

Gine lowered her hands, her breathing steady. "Thank you, Roshi. I've been working on it for a while. I call it the void wave."

Roshi nodded, his expression serious. "Gine, your power is truly incredible. I've never seen anything like it.
