Adventure! Criss heads of to yardrat!

Cross waves to everybody as she gets ready to depart to meet up with and hand Goku the medicine on Yardrat.

Raditz and Gohan step forward, "We are coming with you!"

"No, you're staying here to train for the androids."

"We can train here or we can train on Yardrat with my brother, and Gohan really wants to see his father."

Cross ponders for a while, looking forward to Cici who gives a silent nod and shrugs, "Alright then, all aboard!"

Gohan gives a big smile, laughing as he skips aboard the train, "Thank you, Miss Cross. You're the best!"

Cross chuckles, boarding into the front of the train as it begins to roll off into the sky, the rest of the warriors waving goodbye.

Navi walks the halls, asking if the pair need anything at the moment, but they wave her off.

"I hope Yardrat is more accepting of a line station. We could really use one in this universe."

Gohan tilts his head curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, Nikki didn't say?" The android giggles. "Whenever we visit a new world, one of our main objectives is to get permission to build a train station to allow us to connect that world to the Rainbow Line and begin ferrying customers between universes. Building trade routes, tourism, and the like helps fund our next trip."

Raditz laughs, "Building your own little space empire, aren't you?"

Navi shakes her head, "Not at all. We are building trade routes and lines of connection. We are not trying to rule. We are simply trying to connect people."

Gohan glares at his uncle, "Not everyone is like Frieza, Raditz. Some people just want to make the world a better place."

Raditz laughs and scratches the back of his head, "Yes, yes, I know. While we were under the rule of Frieza, we had to destroy a few worlds like that. We always considered them to be weak and naïve, but clearly Cross isn't, and clearly what we used to think was severely flawed. We can't change the past, but hopefully, we can learn from it. Old habits die hard, Gohan. In the Frieza Force, you either succeeded or were put down. The only reason I survived as long as I did was that I got very good at being very sneaky. I don't need to tell you that my power level is dwarfed by Nappa and King Vegeta. And I am, as I'm sure you already know, much higher than the rank-and-file Frieza troops, and yet I was in an elite squad. Can you begin to imagine the things I had to do just to stay alive?"

Gohan took a few moments to think. He had ideas, but he did not want to speak them aloud. Still, it gave him a little bit more insight into his uncle. What would he do if in the same situation?

"Nikki could tell you tales for hours about enemies who have put her under their direct control, either through guile or direct mind control. When she finally broke free and looked back at all the bad things she had done, she had to live with those consequences as well. Even though she started to repair bridges and make up for the damage she had done, sometimes we are forced to do bad things. What determines if we are good people or bad people is the actions we take when we are free of those controls."

The pair tilted their heads curiously, "What kind of things?"

Navi paused, "One of the earliest examples in my records is actually with her first team. The being that gave them their powers was a spirit of the Earth, and he had grown bitter with humanity's disregard towards nature and the planet. Even though humanity was working to fix their own ignorance and mistakes, he decided to strike against humanity directly. With Nikki's mind consumed by the beast, she fell into his sway. He in turn recruited a few more who he could bend to his will with the power of nature, and they struck out for humanity to pay for their crimes against nature. While she still had her mind, it had been overwhelmed by the beast, and she was more cat than girl."
