Picking up where the story left off, Julia and Gozu headed out to the villages containing all the population of Earth... that was evacuated, anyway. It wasn't too difficult to get people to understand that they could go back, since most of them were brought by Universal Transmission, anyway, but it was a little difficult to get everyone to understand that, magically, the Earth was okay now. The natural disasters were over and there was going to be no more issue with it becoming an exploding planet.
Fortunately, Shiro and Tyson showed up to help with the work. Though Shiro had some bad news... the Black Star Dragon Balls shot off everywhere when they got back to Earth... meaning they'd have to find them again once they were no longer stone.
Shortly after discovering this bit of information, Couric showed up to greet the gang, having actually found out that he was alive again. It's about time.
Julia gave him a hug, of course, and there was smiling and a little blushing. But then they all got back to work... the five of them worked together to help convince the human populace to return to Earth and get back to their old lives.
A few humans decided to stay, though... they rather liked New Namek.
Such strange people.
After returning to Earth, Gozu, Julia, and Couric, went back to the planet of the Genies for some good old rest from all the hell of being a hero. Relaxing in the comfort of the planet they'd made home, even though, for a home, they don't spend that much time there, it seems... until now.
There was an issue that eventually needed to be solved. However.
Gozu spoke to Couric, telling him about how Julia's 'programming' had gained full consciousness or whatever... she wasn't totally hostile, but she wasn't a nice person, either... she had no problem ripping Gozu's chest open, for one thing. And considering how she bragged about how her power was only at half its minimum, or something like that, Gozu was a bit worried that she might find a way to get that power... since she did talk about it a little during her time in the world of the conscious.
So, Gozu and Couric decided they needed to help Julia get control over Katatonia. And it was best they did it together; in case Kat got out of control, there'd be no way Julia could overpower both the saiyans.
Unfortunately, it never seemed to work. Every time Julia raised her power, Katatonia came out, and stayed out. In fact, the very moment she was back for the first time since she awoke, she knew that the reason she'd lost control is because she powered down. So she stubbornly decided to maintain her power for as long as possible, just so she could stick around, and be a bitch to everyone. Then a long while later, she'd collapse, leaving Julia in exhaustion, with no idea what happened.
Katatonia also, once or twice, tried to sneak out in to town to cause some havoc amongst the genies, but Couric and Gozu always made sure at least one of them kept an eye on her... though neither of them are the brightest sparks, so sooner or later they slipped up, or almost did... she managed to actually sneak outside for a few seconds... only to be stopped when the one of them who wasn't keeping an eye discovered her.
Couric had fallen asleep, and screwed up, but Gozu made the save. So it was all okay.
After a year or so of constant failure in trying to control Katatonia, at least the Kat became house trained, as such. She seemed to keep a pouting sort of mood the whole time she was around. If only she knew what Julia was like... she could impersonate her and get out of this hell, but she couldn't... but she didn't want to stop existing. She wanted to stay.
So she quit seeming so dangerous, and simply became a constant nuisance who had a foul mouth and no respect. Gozu and Couric gave up there... there had been no more progress for a few months, and they couldn't stand any more of the bitch ruining their lives.
Julia gladly agreed to never raise her power again until they could work things out better, and Gozu and Couric finally left to do some exploring... Gozu went to the Planet of the Kais... Couric went to Vegeta...
So, Julia was now on her own in the Planet of the Genies... she decided that maybe it was best to try to raise her own power naturally... without the whole dangerous power up sequence leading to releasing the bitch. So she spent her days training... she was actually training by herself... and for a long time...
Man, she was determined.
But Gozu and Couric never seemed to come back... so she got worried...
Julia, first of all, decided to give Couric a visit, and found him on Vegeta... looking disturbingly like he was part of Cajabe's gang... with the armor and all... she discovered that he had been taken in by his sister to work for King Vegeta. It was all part of the bet Cajic, the fusion of Cajabe and Couric, had made, and lost.
Though this meant Couric and Cajabe could very well meet each other... working for the same person and all... Couric managed to somehow, eventually, calm Julia down from all her worries. Or at least she showed she'd calmed down... inside she was still at her wits end.
What if Couric gets hurt again?!
Julia decided to then try visiting Gozu, who was very busy training with the Supreme Kai. He had totally forgotten about everyone else, just like his ancestor Goku did repeatedly... every time he got in to some huge training session, it became his life!
So, after a bit of a reunion, Julia went back to the planet of the Genies, and continued her training. She was getting closer, but she could never quite reach the level of power she felt in those brief moments when she powered up to become Katatonia.
Occasionally, she would visit Gozu and Couric, but they never got together that much. Gozu always had some crazy new training method going on, and Couric always ended up being dragged off on a mission shortly after they met.
It was becoming a little depressing, really.
Eventually, Julia had had enough of it, and decided to visit Couric, and waited for him to finish the mission he was dragged off on, and waited for him to heal up after it... then sent Gozu a scouter message, and he showed up... but something was so different...
He was a Super Saiyan 2!
"Hey guys, what's up?"
