Intro to part two
Author
I'M BAAACK!!!! Part two of 'The revenge' and in this part, you'll get more adventure, more action and more blood. Muahahaha!!! (*Cough* I think the attitude of my friend isn't so good. I think you think the same.) I hope you had fun with part one and my dry jokes (My second name is King Kai...(sweat drop)). Anyways, I'm still having fun writing this and that means it will go on. Please, if you like the story or dislike it (what I do not hope), mail me under the address I named in Authors note, before chapter one. Have fun with part two, from chapter 22! (This is page 44 in Word. Quite a lot, huh?)
P.S: I know, some characters don't act like they should, like Bulma blowing her top and she doesn't even have a life before the one she's living. The other characters, who are living their second life like Goku, they are becoming to the persons they were in the life before, got it?
Oh yeah, before I forget: If I have any comments, I will write them into braces or

Chapter 22
Mia
We slowly got ready to train. Cassie, Joey, Goten and I had brought our bags to Capsule Corp. yesterday and Ice had already been here since two days. It was a Monday and we followed Bulma to a large room. On it's door stood: Space pods. We went in and my mouth dropped. Nine large spaceships crowded the room, but only four seemed to be working. ,,I hoped I was right here." Piccolo walked our way. ,,What are you doing in here?!!" Bulma asked. ,,I was welcomed by your father." Piccolo answered, he stood on the ramp of the first pod. ,,That's not your training pod, Piccolo. The gravity in there can only reach ten thousand and I think you can do more than that. That one is for Bra and Pan." Bulma explained and Bra and Pan left our group, running into the pod: ,,When should we come out?" ,,That you have to decide yourself." Bulma sighed: ,,I will only check up on you every day at twelve o'clock. Bra, you know how to work that thing." Bra nodded and Piccolo went off the ramp, it closed. ,,BYE!!" I heard Pan and Bra calling, then the door was closed and actually disappeared! ,,Okay. Gohan and Piccolo, you take pod number three, the one next to number one, which has a gravity from minus fifty to plus five hundred thousand. Cassie, Mia, Goten and Joey take pod number two, opposite number one, that one has a gravity limit of one hundred thousand. I will come to explain how it works later, so that I don't have to explain single." She told us and we nodded. ,,Trunks, Ice. I actually wanted to give Piccolo and Gohan your ship, because it's limit is one million, but I noticed that Trunks is stronger than Piccolo and so is Ice, so it wouldn't help anyway. Vegeta, you know you're in the gravity... oh... he already went off." Bulma noticed: ,,Alright, how to function these thingies. Trunks, you know how to use number four?" ,,No problem, I even now how to fly it." Trunks grinned. ,,Now don't come to stupid ideas!" Bulma warned him. ,,Nah. I know that you entered a code." Trunks calmed her down. ,,But you also know the code." Bulma reminded him. ,,Don't worry..." Trunks held his hands to his chest, shaking his head. ,,Okay, Goten, you take over controlling number two, because you functioned one once. If you want to change gravity, you have to enter the code: KillSaiyajins. You can enter the height of the gravity with the number pad and then press enter. Bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and other facilities are on second floor above you." Bulma explained. ,,KillSaiyajins. Quite a nice code, Bulma..." Goten noticed: ,,Not noticing the fact that your son, daughter and the first guy you met, on your search for the Dragonballs, are Saiyajins." ,,I thought of it because you guys only fight and it got on my nerves, so that was the first thing that popped into my mind." Bulma answered. ,,Same code for us, right mom?" Trunks asked his mother. ,,Yes. I will check up on group two at two o'clock, on group three at three and number four gets a check up at four, every day. I want you to give me information about how much you improved by telling me the gravity level you are training in. Got it?" Bulma asked and everyone nodded. ,,Food is, in Saiyajin rating, enough for a month for four people, that means for two, enough for two months, after that, I can beam over some or you come out, your choice." Bulma explained and Gohan and Piccolo went up the ramp to their pod. ,,Bye, mom! I will come out every fourth month to get food, so you can always see me. Piccolo only drinks." Gohan called: ,,Bye, guys! I hope you improve!!" Gohan went in and the door closed and also melted away. ,,Mom, beam food over, it's a waste of time going in and out to get it every second month. And don't worry!" Trunks called as his mother made a very disappointed face. ,,Bye. See you in a year or so." Trunks said and went in. ,,Bye!" Ice called and went in with nothing but a small bag and the clothes she was wearing. She wore something different today. A green, sleeveless top with two strings tied around her neck, holding up the top. To it she wore white ¾ pants. The door of pod number four closed, now it was time for the others and me to enter our pod. Joey and Cassie went first: ,,Bye and thanks!" ,,Thank you." I thanked and followed them. ,,Now, you watch yourself, mister!" Chichi warned Goten. ,,Yes, mom. Don't worry, I'm seventeen in a year you know." Goten sighed and received a kiss from his mother. ,,Bye!" Goten called and also came in. The ground floor was empty, only a large mechanical column stood in the middle. On the far left was a ladder, going up to the second floor. I heard a hissing behind me and turned around, the door was gone. ,,Shall we start today or tomorrow?" Goten asked excited. ,,Why so excited?" Cassie asked. ,,Well, the idea of fighting and training through a whole year without school is great... for a Saiyajin." Goten answered, grabbed his bag and started to float. He flew up to the second floor and we Angels looked at each other. Cassie also took her bag and went up. So did Joey and I. The second floor was round like the first floor, but there were five doors around us. On the doors were signs: kitchen, bathroom, control room and two rooms with the signs: boys and girls. Cassie went into the girl's room and dumped her bag inside. I followed her. The room had two beds with each one small table to the left side for private items. There was a larger desk on the right with a lamp dangling over it. There was a cupboard for us to put our things and a dressing table. I wondered if in the boys had a dressing table too, but I don't think they would need one. I noticed that Cassie packed out a kind of fighting uniform. It was red with no sleeves, I recognized it as the outfit she had worn as she had gone on the date with Goten. I was surprised, she had never liked these type of clothes: ,,Say, Cassie, you want to wear that for battle?" ,,I changed it a little with magic. Now it's a excellent fighting uniform and I made the shirt longer, Ice had shortened it quite, but I didn't really like it that short." Cassie answered and I just nodded. I took out my uniform, it wasn't like Cassies', but it also had once worked as street wear. It was a tight, green t-shirt with long black pants and boots. I wore it and we both went out. Joey came out first, he wore a simple, black gi with white wristbands and belt. His shoes were like the normal street shoes that were totally in for the boys. ,,Ready?" I asked. ,,Yep, Goten said not to wear valuable clothes, sis." Joey noticed as he saw Cassie. ,,They aren't valuable... only a little..." Cassie answered. Goten also came out, wearing the same gi as his father: ,,Let's fight." ,,Say, that gi seems to be quite famous." Cassie noticed and pointed at Gotens' clothes. ,,Yeah. A little different from Master Roshis' uniform. It has a emblem on the back and left breast, without t-shirt and these shoes. And the usual students don't tie the belt like that and the cut of the top isn't so wide. This is the kind-of, clan uniform for men." Goten joked, he sounded like a crazy boy who liked to dress up. Well, he was crazy. He leaped down to the first floor. We Angels looked at each other again, then Joey followed and so did Cassie and I. ,,AH! What's this?!!!" Joey shouted and was trying to walk towards Goten, but could hardly lift his legs. Cassie also could hardly move and I had the exact same problem. Only Goten looked like he didn't feel it, he moved a little faster than us and could do push-ups. ,,What gravity is this?!!" Joey asked. ,,Four hundred times normal Earth gravity." Goten answered sweating, he was doing his push-ups with only one arm. ,,Try to move by kicking or punching the air, then you'll slowly get used to it and don't mind me, even if I clobber myself up. Only if I fall out cold." Goten warned us and got up: ,,Those twenty push-ups for the warm-up. KA...ME...KA...ME..." He started to form an energy ball at his side. It was shining blue and we watched quietly as the ball grew. ,,...HAAAA!!!" Goten screamed and fired the beam. It flew straight, then it turned around and flew back to Goten. He lifted his arms, welcoming the attack to hit. It hit his upper body: ,,UH!!" Goten fell flat on his back: ,,Wow! I never thought a half-power Kamekame-ha could do so much damage..." He stood up again, he noticed us looking at him with open jaws: ,,You should start training, guys, I told you not to mind me." Joey nodded and took Gotens' advice kicking and punching the air slowly. I started too, but Cassie seemed a little worried. ,,Cassie, don't worry about me. This is the way a Saiyajin gets stronger. We have to achieve death to become stronger." Goten told her. Cassie nodded and trained too. After a while I noticed that Goten had stopped and was looking for something. ,,What are you looking for?" I asked. ,,Something to get stuck in." Goten answered: ,,AHA!!!" He took out a cable holder. I wondered for what he wanted to get stuck. He grabbed his tail and tied with a very pain filled face it around. ,,Ah... uh..." Goten dropped onto his knees: ,,...have...to... hold...through..." He started to breath heavily and I started to get worried: ,,What the hell is wrong with you?!!" Cassie and Joey stopped sparring and looked at Goten. ,,Goten!" Cassie called and knelt down to him. ,,Don't...uh... worry..." Goten brought out. ,,What's wrong with you?!!" Cassie asked and held up his head. He was sweating terribly and held his eyes closed in pain: ,,The weakness of a Saiyajin... the tail... I'm training... not to weaken... when somebody presses it..." ,,Right, the last time we fought together, the Dark Saiyajins killed Gohan by pressing his tail and then chi blasting him." Joey remembered: ,,But you want to almost kill yourself by training?" ,,What... else shall... a Saiyajin do?" Goten mumbled. ,,Yank the tail off?" Joey asked. ,,WWWHHHAAAATTT????!!!!" Goten screamed, leaped up and transformed into a Super Saiyajin: ,,ARE YOU NUTS???!!! IT WAS A TERRIBLE PAIN GROWING IT AND YOU ASK ME TO TEAR IT OFF?????!!!!!!" ,,Goten!! Calm down!!!" Cassie called and grabbed his arm. Goten inhaled and exhaled deeply, he transformed back: ,,This tail is the reason of power. My chi rises automatically, when I have it, by one thousand and with it I can transform into an Oozaru and get ten times stronger than before." Then his eyes suddenly went wide: ,,Am I... actually... standing?" He asked. Joey nodded. ,,And the cable binder is still squeezing my tail?" Goten asked further, Cassie nodded this time. ,,I... I MADE IT!!!!!!!" Goten leaped into the air: ,,I'm not weakening!!!!" He took off the cable holder and pressed his tail, nothing happened: ,,Joey, you're a lifesaver!!!!" My left eyebrow twitched wildly. If stupidity hurts others, I would sink onto my knees and scream myself to death from pain. But... This was Goten, how Cassie hugs and loves him.
Chapter 23
Trunks
Ice and I were already training hard, with a gravity of five hundred times normal Earth gravity. I had taught Ice how to control her tail and now we were doing some push-ups together.
Ice had a little more trouble, but slowly she became faster. I looked back onto the ground before me, a large puddle of sweat was beneath me and it was getting more. ,,...nine hundred ninety eight...nine hundred ninety nine... one thousand!!" I plopped into my sweat, breathing heavily. Ice was at nine hundred ninety five and she got slower and slower. ,,Tiring?" I asked in a teasing tone to make her go faster again. ,,No!" Ice puffed: ,,...Nine hundred ninety seven..." She stopped, her arms trembled and she dropped into her own sweat puddle. I looked at my watch: ,,Almost four. My mother will check up any moment now." I got up and deactivated the gravity, the weight on my shoulders lifted and I sighed in relief. So did Ice, but she had to get up quite slowly, still catching her breath. She might be weaker than me, but she was the strongest girl I have ever met, even mentally. ,,Everything alright?" I asked worried, she did look a little worn out. ,,It's okay." Ice puffed and her lips formed to a weak smile. I nodded and went up the ladder to the control room, I heard that she was following me closely. I opened the door to the control room and plopped into a chair in front of a large monitor, while Ice laid down onto a small bed, which was there for the pilot of this thing to sleep. It was quiet for a while, only our heavy breathing filled the air and I caught my breath again. Ice was still puffing, but soon a loud crackling was to hear and the face of my mother turned up on the screen: ,,There. Ah, Trunks. How is it going?" She was cheerful, but I didn't have enough power to retreat one of my large grins, so I just answered: ,,We were training at five hundred times Earth gravity, but it's still a hard workout. I think tomorrow we can go for the five hundred fifty mark." ,,What's with Ice?" My mother asked worried, looking over to Ice, who sat up: ,,Just tired..." ,,Don't tell me you started immediately!" My mother called. ,,No, we started at fifty times and then at two hundred times we warmed up, five hundred was our max." I answered. ,,Alright. I've got a message from Goten, he said that you should watch Ice or else you'll get into trouble with him." My mother explained. Ice laughed behind me: ,,As if... I'll go now and take a bath." She went out. I followed her with my eyes, but then as she disappeared out of the door, I turned back to my mother: ,,Any message from Goku?" My mother shook her head: ,,No, he's taking course towards the former planet Namek, I don't know why. Trunks, is there a reason why you are so stern nowadays?" ,,Wouldn't you be if you know that you might die?" I asked, pulling up my eyebrows. ,,Well, yes I would. I understand. Trunks, I've got another message from your sister." My mother said. ,,What does she want?" I asked a little annoyed, hoping it wouldn't be something devilish. ,,I know you don't like to hear that, Trunks, but I think your sister isn't always a little wild. She told you to watch yourself and Ice, I think she likes her quite a lot." My mother answered. I chuckled, remembering my sister saying that she would like Ice as sister-in-law. ,,What's wrong?" My mother had noticed. ,,Nothing." I answered, grinning. ,,I know that grin of yours, Trunks!" My mother warned. ,,Mom, I'm seventeen and I do have my private life." I reminded her, still grinning. My mother sighed heavily: ,,Why can't I be a little like Chichi?" ,,Please don't!!" I called, leaping up. My mother grinned this time: ,,No, don't worry." ,,Promise." I told her. ,,I promise, Trunks." My mother smiled. Suddenly a delicious smell rose up my nose and made me sniff: ,,Hey... What's cooking?" ,,What's wrong?" My mother wondered. My stomach growled. ,,That." I answered. My mother started to laugh: ,,Then go and eat. See you tomorrow." With that, the screen became dark again and I stepped into the hall. The kitchen door was open and I went nearer, the smell was getting stronger. I peeked in and saw Ice standing at the cooking-stove, in front of three pots and one pan. ,,Hey..." I went in and she looked at me with her dazzling smile. ,,I heard that Saiyajins become very hungry after hard training." Ice explained, flipping the pancake in the pan. ,,I didn't know you could cook." I noticed and stood behind her and wrapped my arms around her waste, sniffing the food. ,,I have to know, since I lived alone." Ice answered and took a spoon, stirring the sauce of a pot. She didn't seem to care that I was standing close behind her, watching her cook. ,,You can help me instead of looking over my shoulder." She suddenly said. ,,Why not?" I answered: ,,What shall I do?" ,,Put out some bowls." She answered and took a pot off the stove. I nodded and looked for the bowls and silverware. I heard Ice giggle: ,,Top left." I was looking in the bottom cupboards and I opened the door on the top left, like she had said and found the bowls. I put out two and the silverware was already outside. ,,What now?" I asked, putting my hands into my pockets. ,,Here." Ice gave me a plate full of veggie: ,,But don't eat it on the way." I grinned and put the plate onto the table behind her: ,,I'm not my father or Goku." ,,But you're Vegetas' son." Ice explained: ,,With an appetite of a normal Saiyajin teen." I grinned even wider. I just couldn't fool her.
After a while, I was sitting in front of empty plates and bowls, sighing in satisfaction: ,,I needed that." I noticed how Ice shook her head with a grin. ,,What?" I asked. ,,You finished all that in ten minutes." Ice still grinned, putting down her empty bowl. ,,So?" I wondered. ,,That was enough for at least hundred people." Ice got up and put the empty dishes into the dishwasher. ,,Let me do that." I told her and helped. She stepped aside, while I filled the machine and finally switched it on. ,,Thanks." Ice thanked and kissed my cheek. I could smell her soft lavender smell, which calmed me down. I took her into my arms and pulled her nearer. I felt her cold nose on mine: ,,Cold?" ,,A little." She answered and I pressed her softly: ,,Better?" ,,Yes." Ice answered, looking up into my eyes. She was a half head smaller than me and very slight, even if she can fight with a power near mine. The reason why she looked so slim must have been her Angel heritage, I didn't find another reason. I kissed her, tasting her sweetness.
Now I knew why my father couldn't be so proud in front of my mother, she had a mental strength, far stronger than the one of my father. The greatest warriors of Earth, all are too weak to stand up against their wives and girlfriends. I admit, I couldn't, either. I was sure, the training with Ice would change my entire life and little did I know how much it would change.
Chapter 24
Chichi
Two years passed like two centuries, while I was staying at Capsule Corp. with Videl, so that we wouldn't be so alone at home. Goku hasn't returned yet, but I felt that he would soon. Since years I haven't been longing for him like that, sitting on his Nimbus, staring at the sky, hoping he would brake through the clouds and take me into his arms.
It was another day, where I was sitting in the garden of Capsule Corp. on Nimbus. Goten, Gohan and the others had came out of their pods for new year, but it was so long ago and I felt empty without my family. ,,Chichi..." I heard Bulma behind me and turned to her: ,,Yes?" ,,Food is ready." Bulma explained. ,,I'm not hungry..." I answered and stared at the sky again. ,,Chichi, you have to eat!" Bulma called: ,,Stop staring at the sky! Goten, Gohan and Pan are here with us, so what's the problem?" I looked down onto the yellow cloud I was sitting on. Bulma stood next to me: ,,It's Goku, right?" I nodded sadly. Something peeped and Bulma took out a transmitter: ,,Bulma here!" I heard a voice that made me leap off the cloud: ,,Bulma! KRRZZ... It's me, KRRRZ, Goku!" ,,Goku?!! Where the hell are you?!!" Bulma asked. ,,On...KRZ... my way back to Earth! I just passed Jupiter and will arrive in about ten minutes!" Gokus' voice became clearer. ,,We're getting ready!" Bulma answered and tucked away the machine. She ran towards the other pods and I followed her. ,,Videl! Get Vegeta out of the gravity chamber and come to the pods!!" Bulma called and entered the large room. She activated a large screen: ,,Calling every group!!!" Four different pictures appeared, each filling the faces of every group: ,,What's wrong?!" ,,Goku is going to land in ten minutes!!" Bulma answered and switched the screen off, just as Videl and Vegeta came in. They had heard the message. ,,Kakarott?! At last he's back!" Vegeta growled, but I could hear that he was happy. The door of pod one opened, Bra and Pan came out. Both had grown a lot and Pan was five and Bra seven. The second pod door opened, Gohan and Piccolo came out. Gohans' hair was wild, it was tied to a ponytail and spikes grew to every side. ,,I informed the others by power Morse." Gohan called. ,,What's that, dad?" Pan asked. ,,A code like the Morse code, but only with a power up." Gohan answered: ,,You have grown, dear." ,,Yeah!" Pan laughed and hugged him. I hugged both: ,,Nice to see you." ,,Hi, mom." Gohan greeted. The third pod door opened, Mia and Cassie stepped out first. They had grown a little, but their hair hadn't changed a bit. Joey also came out, his brown hair was like Gohans' two years ago. Goten stepped out lastly, he had grown, but his hair had not. ,,Hi, mom!" Goten called, waving happily and hugged me, Gohan and Pan. The door of the last pod opened and out stepped Trunks, his hair seemed to be freshly cut and he was a half head larger than two years ago: ,,Hi!!" He really looked like a nineteen-year-old boy and as I compared with Goten, he was rather small. Both still had the same height. Ice stepped out too, I didn't know why, but I liked her. Her hair was very long and even tied, but still it reached her knees. She didn't wear things in which she showed more skin than two years ago, she had even more cloth than Cassie. A long black pants, with black boots and a black, sleeveless top with gloves. She didn't carry her tail anymore, but instead, she carried large wings. ,,WEEEEEE!!!!!" It suddenly toned and Trunks turned around a little surprised. Something flew into his face and made him fall to the ground: ,,Lion!!!!" I heard a childish laugh, then Trunks grabbed the thing that had made him fall: ,,I always told you not to do that!" Ice laughed: ,,Don't be so hard with him. He's the first time out here." Trunks put down the figure and it faced us. Bulmas' jaw dropped. A small boy, in the size of Gohan with nine, with dark purple hair and eyes, wings and a tail, grinned at us: ,,Hi!" Something rammed the boy: ,,You say: Hello! Not: hi!!" A voice of a girl toned. The person, to who the voice belonged, landed. It was a girl, looking like Ice, but only with the hair and eye color of Trunks and she too had wings and a tail in the color of her hair and eyes. She bowed: ,,Hello." ,,Bah, you're so full of shit, sis." The boy sighed. ,,Lion!!" Ice called. ,,Sorry, mom." Lion grinned. ,,Come on." Trunks came to us: ,,Nice to see you guys again." ,,Trunks..." Vegeta started, he was pale: ,,...don't tell me... those two... are your kids..." Trunks grinned: ,,Well... yes. Sepia and Lion." Goten suddenly laughed: ,,Hey, I'm really lucky!!" ,,Huh?" Trunks wondered. Goten whistled and I somehow knew that something, which could make me fall unconscious, would come out. Two shadows hopped onto his back: ,,Hey!" The two shadows turned out to be two boys. Both with spiky black hair and dark eyes. The smaller one had the same haircut as Goku, the other the same as Goten with sixteen, before he had cut it. ,,Leo!" The larger boy called. ,,And Kakarott jr.!!" The smaller called, in the same voice as Goku with twelve. Somehow I smiled, I was astonished, but not shocked. ,,Mom, guess who's children they are." Goten grinned. ,,Yours?" I asked. Goten grinned even wider: ,,Yep. Mine and Cassies'." Two pairs of black wings flapped behind the two boys and two tails wriggled. ,,So, who else is new...?" Gohan asked, a little pale. ,,Oh, Mias' and Joeys' two kids." Goten answered and his brother became paler. Two girls landed on Joeys' back, both looked strongly like Mia. One had blue hair, eyes and wings, the other brown hair, eyes and wings. ,,They look elder. How come?" Bra asked, as the six kids stood on the ground. ,,Because the children of Angels grow quickly in the first two days, until they reach the size of a grown-up. But since they are half bloods, they grow until they reach the size of a nine-year-old. Our children caught a little of my Saiyajin blood, that's why they also stopped growing so fast and will now grow like any other normal child." Mia explained. ,,How are they called?" Gohan asked and nodded to the two girls. ,,Irene!" Called the brown haired girl. ,,And Serene!!" The other girl called. I noticed how Sepia hid herself behind Trunks, grabbing his pants. ,,Hey, Sepia! What's wrong?" Trunks asked and turned to her. She just hid herself more, without answering. It knocked at the door and it opened, Krillin and his family entered, followed by Tenshinhan and Chao-zu and then by Yamchua, Master Roshi, Oolong and Pool. ,,Is Goku here already?" Krillin asked, then he saw the six children: ,,Hey, who's kids are those? Ah, Gokus' and Chichis', right?!" Krillin asked as he saw Kakarott. ,,No." Goten growled a little disappointed. ,,Tell me." Krillin called. ,,Isn't it obvious?" I asked. ,,Well, if you ask me now, that small boy there looks like Goku and Goten." Krillin answered: ,,And the other like Goten with sixteen, without a new haircut." ,,Well?" Cassie asked. ,,I can feel an enormous power near us!!!" Kakarott suddenly called: ,,That must be my grandpa!!" ,,Grandpa? Don't tell me that boy is your kid, Goten!" Krillin called. ,,Yes, both who look like my dad and me. Kakarott jr. and Leo." Goten answered, rubbing the head of Kakarott and turning his hair into a bigger mess than it already was. ,,Dad!" Kakarott called and shook his head, so that his hair returned it's normal position. ,,And the other four?" Yamchua asked. ,,These two are mine: Irene and Serene." Joey answered. ,,And the rest looks like from Trunks. Especially the girl, the boy looks rather like Ice." Master Roshi noticed, he was right. Lion had the same frown as his father and grandfather, even with a smile, which made him look a little mean. Sepia looked cuter, with shining eyes. ,,That's right. Sepia and Lion." Trunks answered and Sepia stepped to the front. She went nearer to Master Roshi: ,,Master Roshi, right?" Master Roshi laughed: ,,Yes." ,,Grandpa entered the atmosphere!" Leo called. ,,They're good, they remind me of Goku." Master Roshi noticed. The wings on Kakarotts' back disappeared and he ran a little to the front: ,,He will land in front!" Bulma nodded and pressed a button, the roof opened and we could see a large flaming ball come nearer. Now I noticed how much Kakarott was like Goku and why Krillin had held him for his son. He wore a miniature of Gokus' famous gi and even had the same voice. The large ball stopped before it hit the ground and landed softly. The door opened and we all went nearer. Goku stepped into the light, I only recognized his hair, eyes and smile, but the rest was far different. Around his head he had tied a blood red cloth and he made a very focused face, he also had a scar across his left cheek. His clothes were still the same, but the red of his gi seemed to be stronger than before. ,,Hi!" Goku called and lifted his right hand, his entire face changed. Now he looked like always. ,,Grandpa!!!" Pan called and leaped at him, hugging him tightly. ,,Pan! You have grown!" Goku noticed. ,,Grandpa!" Kakarott and Leo called, also hugging him. ,,Hey!" Goku laughed and took a small step back: ,,One after another!" ,,Dad!" Goten and Gohan called hugging their father short after their children. ,,Goku!" I started to cry and hugged him too. ,,Chichi!" Goku laughed and hugged me. ,,Old friend!" Krillin laughed and all of Gokus' friends, except for Vegeta and Piccolo hugged him. Ice also hugged him, since he was her uncle and Trunks, Joey, Mia and Cassie shook his hand. Piccolo also came and shook Gokus' hand. Lastly Vegeta came, with crossed arms and nudged Goku friendly in the shoulder. Goku grinned and retreated the gesture, they still were Saiyajin friends. ,,You look like one thousand years ago." Joey noticed. ,,Yeah, but it was rather an accident. I've got the scar from a fight against Cooler, Freezers' brother; he caught me off guard, as I was on my way back and nearly destroyed the ship. The cloth is from my father, a kind of remembrance. He told me that it was actually white, but it laid in the blood of his friends, that's why it's blood red." Goku explained, squinting towards the cloth on his head: ,,So, what else happened, besides the fact that we have company?" ,,Not really our company, dad. More parts of our family." Gohan answered and pointed at Sepia, Lion, Kakarott and Leo. ,,Hey, he looks just like me!" Goku noticed Kakarott. ,,Yeah. Like me too. That's why he's my son, we named him after you, Kakarott. His brother, Leo, looks like me with sixteen. And there are Sepia and Lion, Trunks' and Ices' kids. Leo and Kakarott are Cassies' and mine. The other two girls are Irene and Serene, they are Joeys and Mias' kids." Goten answered, pointing at the children. ,,They're quite big." Goku noticed. ,,Because children of Angels grow to a certain size and then stop, but since they all a kind of half bloods, they stop growing so fast with the size of a nine-year-old." Ice explained. ,,Lion and Sepia are named after you two." Goku noticed and nodded to Ice and Trunks. ,,In our last life." Ice reminded. ,,And Leo is named after Goten in the last life." Goku also noticed. ,,You regained your memory quite fast!" Joey noticed. ,,Well, I saw it in my dreams." Goku answered, his stomach suddenly rumbled: ,,Oh... I didn't have food for like... two days." ,,Mom just cooked!" Sepia called and pulled her mothers uncle to pod number four. Ice laughed: ,,I wasn't expecting anyone." ,,Moms' food is great, Goku!!" Lion called and landed on Gokus' shoulder. ,,Grandpa! I want to know what you did in space!!" Pan called and hopped onto Gokus' right shoulder, while Lion was sitting on his left and Sepia was floating in the front, holding Gokus' hand with her tail, directing him to pod number four. ,,We want to know too, grandpa!!" Kakarott and Leo called, running after the quartet. ,,Poor Goku, grandpa times three." Krillin laughed. Vegeta grinned: ,,Well, in the past he did have a large family and now it's even larger." ,,So do you." Bulma laughed. ,,Grandpa!!!" Lion and Sepia came out again. Vegeta moaned: ,,I've got to train..." ,,Grandpa, our dad told us you can tell us a lot about the Saiyajins!" Lion called and landed on Vegetas' back. ,,Yes, I can." Vegeta answered, crossing his arms. I noticed how Ice grinned and blinked to Trunks, who grinned too. ,,Can you tell us, please??" Sepia asked with shining eyes and sat onto Vegetas' crossed arms. ,,No, I have to train. I think you know that we only have one year of training left." Vegeta answered. ,,Oh, grandpa! Please!! Just once!!" Sepia pleaded, her nose almost touched his. ,,Oh, alright, but I will only tell you once!" Vegeta called and sat down onto a ramp. He started telling the two children about the Saiyajins. Bra grinned: ,,They're better than me! I don't think that's from my brother!" Trunks shot his sister a very angry glance. Ice laughed: ,,No." So everyone was gathered and talking with each other happily. The happenings to come didn't break the normal lives of the warriors. In the contrary, it made them better friends than before.
Chapter 25
Kakarott, 1 in Earth measurement
I sat on the lap of my grandfather, after whom I was named. I had all the information about the other warriors and people from my parents, my brother and I are kind of the fusion of my mother and father. I had more from my father and grandfather, than from my mother.
Grandfather had just finished food, Sepia and Lion had returned and cleared away the dishes and Irene and Serene had joined us to listen to the story of my grandfather. Sepia, Lion, my brother Leo and I were all related, but we just came to know each other. Irene and Serene were friends.
,,So, how did you meet great grandpa?" My brother asked our grandfather, he was sitting opposite me. ,,I made it to get into the other dimension, that's why I had taken course towards the destroyed planet Namek, since Vegeta had existed a few light-years further. That's where Devegeta was in the other dimension and I think you know how Boo broke out of the room of spirit and time, which is also another dimension. That's how I got there." Grandfather explained. Sepia and Lion suddenly flumped onto the floor, I only saw a big puddle of feathers and some were flying around. One landed on my nose, it was deep purple and that's why I knew that it belonged to Lion. ,,HA..." I started, the feather tickled my nose: ,,...TSCHII!!!" Suddenly, I felt how my muscles spanned a few millimeters and how my eyebrows took a different position. In the window in the front, I saw that I had transformed into a Super Saiyajin for the first time. ,,Cool!!" Sepia stood again, her hair was all messed up and she had grabbed the hand of her brother with her tail. ,,Wow!!" Lion and my brother called. ,,Awesome..." Irene and Serene called. ,,Since when can you do that?" My grandfather asked surprised. ,,I never did." I answered: ,,But... How do I get back?!" My grandfather started to laugh: ,,Just loosen up." I noticed that my body had tensed up and tried to calm down. I looked into the window again, at my reflection and sighed as I saw I was a normal person again. ,,Just like you, Goku! Our grandfather said, you reached Super Saiyajin first!" Lion called. ,,Yep, but your grandfather made it one or two years later." Grandfather answered: ,,Short before your dad was born or else he couldn't reach Super Saiyajin so easily." ,,You mean I got it from dad?" I asked. My grandfather nodded: ,,Actually, your brother, Sepia and Lion also can use the Super Saiyajin stage easily. But come on, let's go out, it's quite cramped up in here." I hopped from my grandfather's knee and ran out first, to tell my dad the great news. ,,Dad!!" I called, as I rushed out of the pod. ,,What's wrong?" My father turned to me, he was talking to my uncle. ,,Look!!" I called and transformed again. The mouth of my father opened wide. ,,He just transformed as he sneezed." Grandfather said as he reached us. ,,Well, nothing unusual, but at that age?" My uncle asked. ,,The Super Saiyajins get younger and younger." Trunks' father sighed. ,,And the first ones using it were grown up men." Trunks grinned: ,,Gohan made it with nine. Goten and I with six or seven and they, normally counted, only with one and a half. That just shows how much stronger the following generations are." ,,Not really." Ice interrupted. ,,What?" Trunks, my dad, uncle, Vegeta and grandfather asked. ,,If I got everything right, Gohan, Goku and Vegeta became Super Saiyajin trough hard training. Goten and Trunks were born after Goku and Vegeta made it to the Super Saiyajin stage one, that's why Goku and Vegeta passed the Super Saiyajin gene towards Goten and Trunks, who passed it further on to Kakarott, Leo, Lion and Sepia. I noticed something else..." Ice stopped and pointed at my dad and me: ,,You two, look and looked exactly like Goku." ,,So? Nothing unusual, I'm his son and he's his grandson." My dad answered. ,,Let me finish, dear cousin." Ice looked a little angry: ,,Well then. I don't know anything about Gokus' family tree, but I do know that he is the second son of his family, born after my father. Goten, you were born too as second son and look like your father. Kakarott is also born second, right?" ,,Where did you get that from?" My father asked, I looked up between them. ,,Easy: It is always the second son, in Gokus' family tree, who looks like he himself." Ice answered. ,,To correct: It is always the second son of my entire past family tree, who looks like me one thousand years ago." My grandfather said, holding up his index finger. ,,Ain't that strange?" My mother asked, in a funny accent. ,,Strange indeed." My father continued in the same accent. ,,I don't want to go back the entire family tree of each and every family here, finding the super warriors in it." Lion sighed. ,,You're so lazy! It could be important!" Sepia called and knocked his head. ,,I wonder from where he got that..." My father grinned and squinted towards Trunks, who noticed: ,,HEY!!! If anyone is lazy around here, then it's you!" ,,Hold your horses!" My grandfather leaped in, continuing the strange accent of my mother and father. ,,We don't want each and every generation doing the same as the last." Grandfather called. ,,What does he mean...?" My uncle sighed and I was sure he meant it ironic. ,,Hey! We don't know everything!" I called out loud. Everybody looked at me. Then, my grandmother, Bulma, Yamchua, Krillin, Master Roshi, Tenshinhan and Chao-zu started to laugh. My grandfather looked a little grumpy: ,,What's so funny?" ,,Good question." Vegeta crossed his arms. ,,It's so nice to have him around." Krillin laughed: ,,It really reminds me of the time where I was thirteen and first started training." ,,I didn't know Goku from the start, but I think he was exactly the same." Tenshinhan smiled. ,,It is as if Goku was young again." Yamchua grinned: ,,That reminds me of the old times, where we all were weaker than the weakest under us now... And how Goku punched out my tooth." ,,That was Goku? You never told me that!" My grandmother laughed. ,,Don't... talk about it." Yamchua grumbled. My grandfather didn't make a less puzzled face as I did, as we stood next to each other, looking at the group of laughing people. Master Roshi smiled: ,,I didn't see that face since ages. I don't know why, but I really liked you as innocent kid, Goku." ,,Maybe because he didn't know what's going on and always helped you out, because of kindness, and got me into ugly situations." Bulma growled and looked very angry towards Goku. ,,I think... I have to go to the toilet..." My grandfather grinned and ran off. Now I was dumbfounded, as only one. ,,That's how it is when you look and act like your grandfather, kid." Master Roshi laughed: ,,You are just like him as child. You don't remind me more of your father, more of your grandfather. He was a small kid back then, only reaching my hip and didn't know anything about the wide world. Didn't even know what the sea was. He was naïve, very naïve. You could have never thought of him to become a person, not even belonging to this planet. I just love to remember the time as I first met him and gave him Nimbus. Then how he pulled Krillin out of the sand. One scene I will never forget. Krillin and Goku first got to know each other as kind of rivals, not as hard as Goku and Vegeta, but rivals in strength and training. Krillin saying Goku didn't look like a warrior and Goku taking it as joke and saying Krillin looked like a bowling ball. I wish I could see all of them again, as small teens or children." Master Roshi sighed. ,,I think we all remember the small hero. We all had adventures together. The search for the Dragonballs, containing Pilaf. The tournament. The Red Ribbon Army. Uranai Baba. The second tournament, where we met up with Tenshinhan and Chao-zu and then first meeting Piccolo, indirectly. Then the three years, which changed us all. Krillin and Goku came to the end of their teen age, Tenshinhan, Chao-zu and I became grown-up men. I'll never forget the day of the third tournament. Then, the Saiyajins and we all became stronger and stronger, got children, had families and always greater rivals. I hoped that our adventurous lives take an end when we become old grandpas and grandmas, but this has no end." Yamchua sighed: ,,To be true, I liked the adventures we had as we all were still young, in the age of Trunks, Goten and so on." I listened interested, I wasn't the only one. The other five had also sat down, listening to Master Roshi and the others remember the old times.
I noticed that they all must have changed a lot.
My father, Trunks and the others, not even born at that time, also sat down and listened.
Especially my grandfather was a main theme. How he grew, how they all first met him, either as naïve boy or as little warrior, with the small age of twelve. I thought how many adventures he had lived through and how much terror he must have seen. I admired him in every way. He was strong, brave, smart, very experienced and he also had a special gift, that no one else had, not even my dad and uncle, nor I. How I heard from the stories of the others, he had met them as fiends and now they ended up as friends. Even Vegeta, the proud Saiyajin prince, was too weak to resist that gift. One question I would surely not ask, even if I would like to know: How did my grandfather feel about all this?
Chapter 26
Goku
I sat next to the door of the pod room, listening to the others. They often mentioned me, as great personality, as hero and the person who had brought them all together.
I saw myself as normal person, doing what he thinks is best, which must have been the reason why they all liked me so much. Others were too shy to tell what they think; I never held anything about talking round and round, loosing important time. In all the years of my life, I had found out how important time was to all our lives. It was as if my life had whizzed by me without me myself taking notice. I only saw the future to come and the present, which quickly passed over to each other. We had come to other dimensions, where a year takes a day, we have used precious time to train for the danger facing us and always we found a way out. We have been friends since ages. The first people I have come to know as I met Bulma. Master Roshi, Oolong, Yamchua and Pool, Chichi and her father, Krillin, Tenshinhan and Chao-zu. All of them were part of my life as child, a small warrior, who always seemed to be in a cheerful mood. I was happy, but also sad, that they didn't know that even that cheerful child didn't have peaceful dreams. I have been often confronted with my past, the time before I had fell and lost my memory. Two nights before, I had seen my entire life, since my birth on Vegeta, to the time I lost my memory. How much different I had been back then, but also how much I still was that Saiyajin. Now I knew why I had often fascinated the stars. As child I have often looked up to them, asking myself how each and everyone looked like. One story I have always loved. My father had told me, as I had nightmares one night. My family on Vegeta hadn't been like every other Saiyajin family, not like Vegetas'. Mine had to hold together, we had been poor, because we were weak. What would I give to hear the story out of the mouth of my father again. In his voice, with his gestures.
I got up and walked towards the exit of the entire building. I knew that it was about nine o'clock in the evening and that it was dark already. That was what I wanted. The night sky. I passed by the pod room and looked inside, Kakarott was the only one who had noticed me walk by. I didn't care and just went on.
I never knew my way in Capsule Corp., but to my luck, I had a perfect orientation or else, if I get whirled through the air in a fight, I wouldn't know where up and down is.
I leaped against a wall, letting my speed rise and my chi screamed up.
It was a feeling of freedom. I liked it and I have loved it. In all my fights I had felt it. My own chi ran through my veins, causing my body to pulsate and somehow also cause my head to go numb, as I was young. Now it wasn't that bad, I only felt a small stitch, every time I felt that an attack was coming.
I pressed myself off the wall, leaping from one side to the other, letting my speed rise more and more, every time I touched the wall. My movements were soundless; I had found the trick how Ice moved like a shadow. I myself couldn't feel the whirl in the wind I must cause and I had learned to feel movements ages ago and always used it. I didn't make phantom pictures; I hadn't used the attack since years. I decided to let one appear for fun, just to see if I still knew the attack. I landed on the ceiling, looking at the ghost image of myself. I hadn't looked into the mirror since two years and was surprised. I hadn't expected a stern, concentrated and Vegeta-like look on my own face, but it really was mine.
I really looked like my father now. I didn't really want it, not that I don't like my father, but I do have my pride. I actually was satisfied with his cloth, but that I had to get his scar, wasn't one of my wishes I would make if I could. Of course I could, but I wouldn't do it. I have learned to accept things as they are, if I wouldn't, things would turn my whole life into misery.
I decided to make another ghost, but this time, I tried not to frown like Vegeta.
The two years in space had positive, but also negative things to show. The positive, I learned a lot more than Gohan in school. The negative, that I always fought out there and never really smiled, I mostly had grinned.
This time, I landed on the right wall, looking at my picture again, while the other disappeared. ,,Phew, I thought I forgot how to smile." I sighed and leaped on. I soon reached the living room, then I came into the hall, leading outside. ,,Hello, Goku! Here again?" Mr. Briefs asked, holding a cup of coffee, sitting on the couch and watching TV. ,,Yes." I answered and tried to smile nice. ,,You sure have changed, dear." Mrs. Briefs noticed, I frowned a little. I never really liked her presence, it somehow gave me the creeps. Seeing her always happy and unworried face. She hardly had changed, if you take out the gray hair. ,,Yeah." I just nodded to her comment. ,,I thought you would talk with the others? Why are you on your way outside?" Mr. Briefs asked. ,,I have to catch some fresh air." I answered: ,,Have a nice time!" I went out, my nose had called out emergency alarm. The smell of Mrs. Briefs' perfume made me feel giddy, one more reason to get some fresh air. I stepped out and instinctively looked to the sky. It was dark, but the stars and the moon shone. Luckily, it wasn't full moon or else I would of mutated to an Oozaru. I inhaled deeply, the air was cold, it was autumn and the leaves flew around me as the wind blew. Capsule Corp. had two bases now, one in the city, where I had started towards Namek and this place, out in the fields. I sat into the grass smelling that it had rained one or two days ago. Suddenly my senses were alert, I wasn't alone. I didn't feel any aura, so it must be a warrior, because others I would have noticed. I felt how Mrs. And Mr. Briefs got a little exited, so it must be one or more of the kids. Somehow I found it a funny thought, Goten having children with eighteen. But I myself became father with nineteen and married with eighteen, in Earth years, so there wasn't much difference. Even doe I was two years younger than Bulma, she got her first child far later than me. Well, she was a little undecided. Yamchua or Vegeta.
I felt how the door behind me opened and as the wind blew, I could feel what blocked it, what body it was. Small and wild hair. One of the Saiyajin children. I grinned as I felt the presence was Kakarott. Behind him was another presence, his brother Leo, named after Goten. ,,Why are you looking me up?" I asked, without turning around. I felt how the eyes of the two children widened. ,,How do you...?" Leo started. ,,I can feel movements in the air, anyway, I felt your presence already, everyone, except for Cyborgs or robots have auras. Every creature." I liked to teach them in my own way.
Piccolo and Vegeta said I couldn't teach, but I thought that I can and could. I had thought Gohan and Piccolo together, I had thought Goten, Pan and a few times Trunks. They all had become better.
,,I don't think you're here in the same reason as I am." I said: ,,Sit down, if you like." Leo and Kakarott took place each on one of my sides. I looked to Leo first, then to Kakarott, after that I saw towards the silhouette of the horizon again. ,,Grandpa, why are you here?" Leo asked, breaking the silence. I smiled: ,,Kind of daydreaming." I looked towards the stars. Kakarotts' and Leos' eyes followed. ,,What are you dreaming about?" Kakarott asked in the same voice as I would in his age.
I liked to have a kind of double around me, he reminded me of the past and not only me alone. Everybody saw in him me. Maybe he was like me, maybe he would become as strong or even stronger than me.
,,About the past." I answered short, I didn't want to tell them if they didn't want to hear. But they seemed interested. ,,About Boo?" Leo asked. ,,No. You really want to know?" I asked and looked at both again, smiling. Both nodded eagerly. I laid into the grass: ,,This could take a little longer." They too laid into the grass and became silent. ,,As I was born, on the planet Vegeta, as it still existed, Vegetas' father, King Vegeta, just had gotten the crown. I was born as low class child, like my father, brother and mother. The low class was poor, most of them didn't even have a home, but to my luck, we did. We lived in a barrack, up in the hills, not far from the city. On Vegeta, I lived two years. Saiyajin children sometimes learn talking faster than any creature, so I already could talk and understand what my family was talking about. I often laid awake in bed, having nightmares and somehow they were combined with the future to come. My father always brought me out and told me stories at those times, mostly about the stars, his adventures at the royal army and other things like legends. One story or legend, is the reason why I often look to the stars." I explained. ,,What story was it?" Kakarott asked with shining eyes. ,,My father and brother called it idiotic, but my mother said it could be true, I had the same thought. My father had sometimes talked about it, so I asked him to tell me the story. He told me. Some say, the light of the stars show how many people live on it. Others say, it shows how powerful the life forms there are. But the story says: If you see the stars, shining bright and warm, you know how much happiness is on the planet. If it shines weak, you know that people are sad there. I spent the whole night with my father, looking for bright shining stars and weak ones. My father told me that some of the weak shining ones belonged to Freezer, so from that day on, I hated Freezer. As I thought how terrible Freezer must be, I saw the brightest shining star that was at the sky. I promised myself to go to that planet and see why the people there are so happy. A day later, before I took off for Earth, I looked up for Earths' coordinates. I was shocked and happy at the same time. Do you know why?" I asked, the two children shook their small heads. ,,Because Earth was that shining star. I was shocked that I had to destroy that planet and happy to finally get there. As far I can remember, I was a little disappointed as I reached Earth. I thought that other creatures become, like us Saiyajins, happy when they fight, but it wasn't so on Earth. So I had decided to accomplish my mission, but luckily, I never could. I fell on my head and from that day on, I didn't remember a piece of the past, only in my dreams I saw it, but I never remembered." I answered. ,,There's a very weak shining star..." Leo noticed, pointing over to the left. I followed his finger and tried to remember if I had visited that planet. ,,Do you know that one, grandpa?" Kakarott asked. ,,I think so. If I'm correct, it is the old planet Freezer 79. Vegeta was there a few times, I went there one year ago. It was shining even weaker before that. The people there were still working for Freezers' henchmen, so I just helped a little. And you know what?" I asked, laughing a little. ,,What?" The two asked. ,,One of the guys there called me Bardock, after my father, because I looked exactly like him. He ran away after that. My father must have beat the living daylight out of that one." I answered: ,,So I just needed to step on a podium, the rest I left to the looks of my father." ,,Cool." Kakarott said: ,,Then I'll go there once and step on one, let's see what then happens. Did you visit many planets?" ,,Around the hundred in the first year, the second had more, about two hundred fifty." I answered. ,,Three hundred fifty, I think..." Leo answered. ,,At least you didn't get the head of your dad." I laughed: ,,He isn't very brainy. As far I know, he couldn't even count seven plus seven with eight, that was, before he went to school, of course. But you should get to bed, it's late." I sat up again. ,,Can't you tell us more stories? How you first looked for the Dragonballs?" Kakarott answered. ,,I would love to, but I think your mom won't like me for that. But I promise to tell you when the time is suitable." I promised: ,,Deal?" ,,Yeah!" Kakarott and Leo called, they ran in. I got up, I myself was tired. ,,I'm getting to old for all this..." I sighed, scratching my hair.
Indeed, I had quite some years on my twenty-year-old looking body. With forty-six years, not counting the years on Vegeta, I was an old man, if I wasn't Saiyajin. I was actually forty-eight, which means, I have counted nicely as I said I was fourteen.
I went in, Goten stood in the room and he had Kakarott and Leo on his shoulders and was carrying them away, yawning on the way. Gohan bent his back backwards, he too yawned. Now only the grown up people were in the living room, talking about the most different things. Piccolo started talking to Gohan, Bulma was chattering with Chichi quickly and Ice was talking intensively with Videl. The others, except for Vegeta, stood in a group, talking about the good old times and I was sure they had drank some beer, by the way some of them were talking. C-18 was nowhere in sight, so were Trunks, Goten, Cassie, Mia and Joey, including the youngsters. I grinned, the parents must be sending their sprouts to bed. Trunks came in again, Goten walking behind him, talking with him. ,,Ah, the great hero..." Master Roshi called, he was drunk alright. He held a can of beer and I sighed, as he gave it to me: ,,Here! Have a drink!" ,,No thanks, master. I don't drink." I answered, putting down the can, next to Yamchua, who drank it. Krillin gave me a sign that he was still he himself, by showing that all of them around us were going crazy because of the alcohol. I knew that Krillin seldom drunk, we both had seen Master Roshi in the drunk state and that had scared us, because both of us hadn't seen Roshi like that before. ,,Come on, Goku... You're so tough..." Yamchua jabbered. I shook my head with a smile: ,,No thanks. I don't want to knock myself out cold." ,,Ah, you're so weak..." Even Tenshinhan was drunk, I had never sawn him like that. He was normally stern, but he was completely drunk, so it was normal. ,,We're hard men! Can drink... seven in one go..." Yamchua jabbered again and laid his arm around my shoulder. I slipped it off again, not wanting to be squished by Ten and Yamchua, who started to sing. Yamchua grabbed for another beer can, but I pointed and the can moved away: ,,You had too many already, old friend." ,,Ah! I can stand that weak stuff..." Yamchua called and wanted to grab a whole bottle, but it too moved away, while I just pointed at it. I had the same power as Chao-zu, that's why I could move it away from my almost crazy friend. Almost wasn't the right word, totally fitted more. Master Roshi was threatening Krillin to let him take another 'drink', while Krillin was trying to stop him from running against the whole pile of empty cans. I shook my head with a grin, Vegeta stood next to me: ,,Crazy humans. They think they drink hard stuff. What they drink is water. I think you got a drink of the so called petrol out there." ,,Yeah, I did, but don't tell anyone." I answered grinning. ,,When did you go out cold? I made it to ten." Vegeta grinned, thinking he was better. How wrong he was: ,,I made it to stay conscious throughout twenty." I answered. ,,No way, Kakarott! The only guy I met who can take that much is my father in person! I won't believe that!" Vegeta called. ,,You can check. I think you know that people say, if you drink one, keep the cap and don't steel or else you die." I answered. ,,You don't believe that shit do you? ... Well... I did it, because I was a little past the real Vegeta." Vegeta said. ,,I did believe it and did it, because I wasn't myself either. I think I beat up ten guys. Well, I kept the caps. Here." I took out a small bag, containing the caps of the petrol. ,,Five...ten...fifteen...twenty! You did!" Vegeta called, totally pale: ,,Man, Kakarott! How did you do that?!!" ,,I clobbered up five guys after five drinks. That means I clobbered up exactly twenty, excluding the guys who didn't want to give me the stuff. Like you said, you get a little off the line with that stuff and I got a hell of a headache one whole week." I grinned, petrol was worse than beer. It was like a drug, but only not that bad, it was between beer and extreme drug. ,,What are you two talking about?" Krillin asked, holding Master Roshis' hand. ,,About the alien beer." Yamchua seemed to be back to senses, he was pale. ,,And?" Tenshinhan also seemed to be interested. ,,They said it's far worse than beer and Vegeta drank ten." Yamchua answered. ,,It has ten times more affect than beer." Vegeta added. ,,Wow... that's top..." Tenshinhan said. ,,Not if you compare him to Goku..." Yamchua whispered. ,,Hey, wait a second! That place was so dry, I needed it!" I called. ,,No, really? Kakarott, you really aren't a good liar." Vegeta grinned. I gave up and sighed. ,,How many?" Master Roshi also seemed interested. ,,Twenty." Yamchua answered, Krillin became pale: ,,Ten times more affect of one beer, times twenty?! Goku! I thought you don't drink!" ,,I don't." I answered. ,,Then what the hell is that?!" Krillin asked. ,,Okay. That was just a small trip into horror." I grinned: ,,If you go to space, don't drink that stuff, I got a headache a whole week, which meant I had to stay on that crazy planet. Those guys party day and night and always tried to bust in, so they could see me drink again. Hell, I hated them for that. They made it to make me drink one bottle two days later, but luckily, I hardly felt it." ,,I heard a guy dropped off half dead at the half of a bottle and you don't even feel it." Vegeta grinned. ,,Would you?" I asked: ,,Let's talk about something else, I think I'm getting a headache again." Tenshinhan, Yamchua, Krillin and Master Roshi laughed, Vegeta also grinned. ,,Hey, what's so funny?" Goten and Trunks stood next to us. ,,Your dads are just telling us...MBMLMM!!!" I held Krillins' mouth closed, Vegeta also had leaped to the front. I grinned: ,,Nothing." ,,Dad..." Goten moved his head to the right. ,,I'm not in the mood of getting a headache again." I just answered, letting Krillin go. Master Roshi grabbed for a beer again and drank it: ,,I hope I can make two hundred beer..." ,,Dende up above... save us..." Krillin pleaded. ,,What gave him the idea of drinking two hundred beer?!" Trunks asked, totally shocked. ,,Want to bet if he lives on?" Vegeta asked me. ,,I don't think so." I answered and leaned over to Master Roshi: ,,Master, how much stronger am I, compared to you? And then you should count that I am not a human." Master Roshi just nodded and kept on drinking, then he stopped and spit his beer out: ,,I almost forgot!!!" ,,Thank... Dende..." Krillin sighed in relief. I too sighed: ,,I will never go to space again..." ,,Hey, Kakarott, I have a box of that stuff in the cellar..." Vegeta grinned. ,,Uh-oh..." I thought. ,,It should be drunk out soon and it contains exact thirty. Fifteen for you and me. How about it? I'm sure you'll hardly notice it and those humans can see what tuff guys are." Vegeta continued. ,,Is this Vegeta or a crazy guy?" A voice asked in my head and I had the problem to be not able to say no. ,,No thanks." I said. ,,Come on." Vegeta knew he just needed to press a little to get me do things I wouldn't. ,,Oh alright!" I sighed and he pulled me away. ,,This is going to be tense for my poor head." I thought.
Chapter 27
Krillin, 47
I watched how Vegeta pulled Goku, who didn't really look happy, away. I was sure Vegeta was up to no good: ,,Where are you going?" ,,To the cellar." Vegeta answered, still pulling Goku along. ,,Is there more beer?" Master Roshi asked. ,,Nothing for weaklings." Vegeta answered. ,,Don't tell me he's got that funny stuff down there and they're going to..." Tenshinhan started. ,,I think so." I answered. ,,This I've got to see!" Yamchua, Tenshinhan and Master Roshi ran off and I decided to follow. Maybe I could save my poor friend Goku, who didn't even seem in the mood of drinking. The cellar wasn't far and Vegeta hat put Goku onto the floor and put a box in front of him. ,,Please no..." Goku cried. ,,Give me a drop to see." Master Roshi said. ,,Alright, old man, you all can get two bottles, the rest is for Kakarott and me." Vegeta said. Master Roshi took a quarter bottle, then he coughed: ,,MAN!!! That stuff could kill you!" ,,UAH!!!" Yamchua and Tenshinhan had finished the bottle and had started the other to the half. ,,Here Krillin. Have fun." Tenshinhan puffed: ,,Those guys are men compared to us girls." Goku kept on crying that he wouldn't do this. I breathed in deeply and drunk. Not that I wanted to, but I wanted to know how much those two could take. Immediately, I spit the stuff out. It burned terribly like fire and made my voice box feel like melting. I coughed and watched how Vegeta drank a whole bottle empty without flinching. He threw one bottle to Goku, who just sighed and took the whole thing in too. Everybody in the cellar, except for the drinking Saiyajin, had open jaws. Second bottle. Third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight. Vegeta started struggling, Goku still just drank on, but he didn't look like he normally would: ,,He, he. Getting weak?" He was drunk alright. ,,Pah! You're the weakling!" Vegeta called and drank the ninth and tenth. That one he drank down very slowly, he made a very pain filled face. Vegeta emptied the bottle, then he breathed in and out loudly and slowly. Goku grinned an ear-to-ear grin, his cheeks became a little pinkish. ,,That... was...too much..." Vegeta puffed and coughed. I was sure, it would take him two weeks to recover. Goku just kept on drinking. He even drank the leftovers of Vegeta. The last bottle he drank was the one, which made me feel giddy. My friend looked real sick: ,,Oh, boy... I shouldn't have done this...Hey, Vegeta..." ,,Yeah...?" Vegeta was swinging from one end to the other, trying to stand. ,,Let's spar lightly, that's one way not to think of it..." Goku suggested, but then he dropped off, almost unconscious: ,,Boy... The twenty bottles nearly killed me last time. These eighteen are my minimum, but at eighteen, I already start to..." WOMM!! He didn't finish, he and Vegeta just went out cold. ,,When Chichi and Bulma see this..." Yamchua grinned: ,,Let's get them back up." We picked the two unconscious and drunk Saiyajins up. Tenshinhan split into four, so that we could cover the last full-blooded two of their species. Gohan noticed us walking in a large group: ,,Hey..." ,,SHHH!!!" I hissed and pulled him along. We carried the two men into the pod room, laying them onto the floor and Gohans' mouth dropped open: ,,What the...?!" ,,SHHH!!!!" I hissed again: ,,You wouldn't look any better after a one hundred and one hundred and eighty beer, Gohan." ,,What?!" Gohan asked quietly, shocked. ,,Well, aliens have a beer, called petrol and it has ten times more affect than beer. Vegeta had a box of thirty in the cellar, we drank two and your dad and Vegeta drank the rest. Vegeta had ten, your dad eighteen." I explained. ,,W...wow..." Goten and Trunks were also around, standing next to Gohan. ,,Vegeta! Vegeta?!!" We heard Bulma call and leaped in front of the two Saiyajins. ,,Did you see Vegeta?" Bulma asked, but then, she sniffed the air: ,,Hey, I know this smell. Smells like the alien beer petrol I made a month ago for Vegeta." We all became pale. I stepped to the side, revealing the unconscious Goku: ,,That's what happened to it." ,,Goku and beer? No way!" Bulma called, then we revealed Vegeta. Both Saiyajins were drooling in their sleep, making them look worse. Bulma started to laugh: ,,That's great! How many did each have?!" ,,Goku had eighteen, Vegeta ten." I answered, pointing at each person. ,,What...? But I told Vegeta that one is enough...." Bulma stuttered. ,,What's wrong with that stuff?!" Gohan asked worried. ,,It raises their fighting spirit and love for fighting. They're dangerous now. Very, very dangerous... Get away from them and try not to wake them..." Bulma explained and we all moved away, this was worse than we thought. Too late... Goku had already opened one eye and looked angry: ,,What noise is that?!" His words growled. ,,Bulma, Goku told us, that is just for drinking..." I whispered. ,,But I put in some stuff that would raise their spirit, so that they fight better and harder." Bulma answered: ,,I didn't tell them to drink the whole box. The petrol contains a little of it, but I raised the amount, so that they don't drink too much." ,,GRR..." Vegeta also sat up: ,,I smell... an underclass..." He hissed the s and looked over to his Saiyajin friend. Oh... I mean... fiend.... Goku glanced back: ,,If anyone is an underclass, then it's that piece of shit next to me..." ,,Say that again, drain cleaner." Vegeta stood up, looking furious. ,,No problem, ape prince." Goku growled. Vegeta lifted his fists: ,,Come on and show me what a girl can do." ,,STOP!!" Four voices shouted. They were high and belonged to four children. Sepia, Lion, Leo and Kakarott. Goku and Vegeta looked up at them, looking quite angry: ,,What?!" Leo took a step back as he saw Gokus' face, but Kakarott stepped as only one to the front: ,,We are not here to fight each other! We are here to fight the Dark Saiyajins! Remember?!" That boy was either brave or totally brainless, he was like Goku, so it could be both. He didn't know how dangerous the two full-blooded Saiyajins were, but even if he knew a small part of their power, he was under that stage, but still, he dared to stand up against them. I watched Goku for some moments, how he fixed Kakarott with his emotionless eyes, then, slowly they started to shine. Goku fell unconscious again, Kakarotts' eyes widened, he was shocked, seeing his grandfather just drop to the ground. Sepia also stood to the front, standing next to Kakarott, with tear-filled eyes and a very scared look: ,,Grandfather... please... don't fight with your... best friend..." She sniffed and Vegeta looked confused. Suddenly, he too became unconscious again. Trunks ran over to his father and Goku, feeling their pulses: ,,They're okay, just out cold." ,,Your father is such an idiot!" Bulma scolded. ,,I do not want to agree with that, because he would clobber me up if he finds out." Trunks sighed and picked both men up. Chichi popped in: ,,My god!! What's going on?!!" ,,Vegeta forced Goku to drink the special drink Bulma made, that would let their fighting spirit rise and they drank a whole box of thirty. Goku eighteen and Vegeta ten, we couldn't stop them." I answered. ,,I hope he's okay!!!" Chichi shouted. ,,Yeah, just out cold, grandma..." Kakarott tried to save his grandfather. ,,Alright..." Chichi sighed. Goku woke up and stood: ,,Ouch, my poor head... I think I'm going to kill Vegeta for this..." Vegeta also woke up: ,,You want to kill me? Try it..." Vegeta seemed to be still drunk, the way he sounded and he would surely not challenge Goku so open in front of Bulma. I could see a hint of pink running over his nose and cheeks, while Goku only looked sick and held his head: ,,I think he's still drunk." ,,Drunk?" Vegeta asked and started to sway. Goku sweat dropped, seeing his Saiyajin friend make an idiot of himself: ,,I hope he recovers soon..." ,,I don't think so. He took his maximum, that means, he recovers in a week or so." Bulma answered. ,,Yeah!!! Now we've got the gravity room!!!" Trunks and Goten called. Ice, Cassie, Joey and Mia also came in: ,,What?" ,,My dad is drunk for a week, that means we can have the gravity room!!!" Trunks called and hugged the mother of his two children. Bulma became pale as Ice and Trunks kissed each other, but not deeply, since the kids were around. Bulma cleared her throat and Ice and Trunks stopped, grinning. ,,Oh, mom..." Trunks grinned. ,,No. Your father will kill me if I let you into the room without his permission. He will only let Goku in, because he knows Goku would go in anyway and he's stronger." Bulma explained. ,,As if dad would kill the mother of his two children." Trunks still just grinned. ,,Why not? He is capable." Bulma answered. ,,He is, but he won't. I know dad, mom. Trust me. But if you say so, we won't go in. We have the pods anyway. Another thing is, we have to be fit for the battle." Trunks explained. ,,Too bad we can't come." Tenshinhan had become one again. ,,Why not?" Goten asked: ,,You could." ,,No, we're getting a little old. You Saiyajins are forever young, you could battle throughout your whole life, but we humans not." Yamchua explained. ,,Gohan is also getting quite old." Goten noticed and Gohan knocked his head: ,,As if twenty-eight years were old..." ,,I can't compare with dad, he's full-blood." Goten whined, rubbing his head: ,,But to think of it, for forty-six years dad makes a quite young appearance." ,,Of course! I'm Saiyajin!" Goku called: ,,Anyway! I'm forty-eight!" ,,Huh?" Chichi wondered. ,,I know you couldn't count with twelve, but you still can't?" Bulma asked. ,,I can and could. I actually counted right. I had two years of life on Vegeta, as I said I was twelve, I only counted the years on Earth." Goku answered. ,,That means you're a year older than me and look like thirty years younger." I noticed a little grumpy. ,,This angry at me for growing?" Goku asked, grinning. ,,I couldn't stop you..." I grumbled. ,,With my hair I look taller." Goku noticed, rubbing his hair. ,,How about cutting it?" I asked. ,,What?!! No way! My hair won't grow back anymore, I can't do that! Anyway, I like the haircut of my dad, it reminds me of him." Goku answered, he was pale of shock. ,,My dad will cut his hair soon." Trunks noticed. ,,Really? Vegeta?" Goku wondered: ,,Never thought he would." ,,Mom 'pleaded'." Bra, who also had come, explained. ,,I did." Bulma ejected. ,,Yeah. 'Cut that goddamn broom on your head!'" Trunks recalled. We all started to laugh.
Chapter 28
Sepia, 10 from her evolvement
One year passed quickly and we started to get ready for the first encounter with the Dark Saiyajins. For some, it was only a battle of many, for others, like my brother and me, it was our first real fight in our entire life. Leo, Lion, Irene, Serene and I were nervous, only Kakarott seemed calm. If I compared him with his grandfather, after whom he was named, I understood why his parents had called him Kakarott. He was like Goku, his grandfather, even in character. Lion, Leo and Kakarott had become quite good friends, like their fathers and Irene, Serene and I too, like our mothers.
Kakarott, Leo, Lion, Irene, Serene and I were training in pod five; the one Goku had used to travel in space. The others were training either in the gravity room or in pods too. In about a month the Dark Saiyajins will arrive and until then we will be ready for battle. Kakarott was training alone, his mother had sewed him a dark red cloth, which he had tied around his head. He must really like his grandfather, because I just could stop him from getting him a scar too. ,,KA...ME...HA...ME..." Leo shouted, forming a ball of energy in his palms. He was battling against me. ,,...HAAAAAA!!!!!!" He screamed, firing his energy beam. ,,SHEN...BEAM!!!!!!!" I shouted firing off my special attack, the godly beam. One hand is over the other and in full length, while the other is lightly bowed. My golden beam hit his blue one, causing a large cloud of dust and a beautiful color. The beams faded and the dust started to clear, both, Leo and I, were puffing. We had used all our power, but something caught my eye. A shadow was within the cloud of dust: ,,YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" The dust whirled quickly aside and revealed a small person, only slightly larger than me with wild, golden hair. Kakarott. My mouth dropped open as I saw Kakarott, who seemed to have leaped into the way of the two beams, he was hardly hurt. Only a little blood ran down his cheek and he was puffing lightly. ,,Was that full power?" Kakarott asked, lowering his arms. He looked at his brother, then at me. His green eyes were emotionless and I twitched as his eyes stared at me, as if he was staring at the wall behind me. ,,Yes..." I answered in union with Leo. ,,Train harder." Was the only comment from Kakarott, who started his own training again. ,,Idiot..." I hissed. ,,He's right. If he can take us as Super Saiyajin, only with a small wound, we are quite weak." Leo said and started training by himself.
Why is everyone of that stupid Son clan so direct?! Goten, Gohan, Pan, Leo and especially Kakarott and Goku.
The gravity suddenly sunk and the door opened. Oh no. Goku. That's one person I need last. I don't know why I can't really call him friendly like the others did. Maybe because I only know him a year. ,,Time to get some rest. We need a small pause after all this, since we have to be fit for the battle and not all worked out. Come on." Goku went off again, his sentence burned in my ears. I was sure, he and my grandpa would still train. Kakarott also looked like he wanted to go on, not caring about the words of his grandfather, but as he transformed back, he smiled: ,,Okay, grandpa!" He ran out, followed by Leo and Lion. Irene, Serene and I walked out slowly, talking. ,,Oh, that Kakarott! He's such an idiot!" Irene scolded. ,,Hey, he was Super Saiyajin." Serene interrupted. ,,Yeah, but I still don't really get to like him and his entire family." I commented. ,,Your mom is related to them." Irene reminded me. ,,That's why she has such a pig head." I said. ,,Hey, your mom is real nice!" Serene called. ,,Oh, no, really?" I asked ironical. ,,Your family isn't better." Irene noticed. ,,What?!" I asked, totally shocked. ,,Well, your family is totally proud. Your dad and aunt not really, but sometimes. Your grandpa is horror." Irene explained. ,,Forget it." I said and went over to my parents. My father looked stern as always, while my mother was smiling bright.
That's what happens when grandfather Vegetas' and Gokus' family get together. Sternness against happiness. My brother had the stern look of my father, while I carried the nice, natural look of my mother.
Everybody was around in the living room. Krillin, Yamchua and the others. Even Tenshinhan and Chao-zu had come by. ,,Ah, how I would love to fight with you." Krillin sighed: ,,But I'm too old." ,,Sorry. You know, we appreciate every help we can get." Goku answered: ,,But it's better this way. You died so many times already. You shouldn't die again." ,,You died too." Krillin reminded him. ,,Yeah, but I didn't die four times." Goku laughed and I turned towards Serene and Irene. Suddenly, my stomach rumbled and I grinned. I heard rumbling coming from almost all sides. My dad, grandfather and all other Saiyajins' stomachs were empty from training. ,,Seems the warriors are hungry." My grandmother noticed. ,,Let's make some food or else they'll starve." My mother laughed and went into the kitchen, followed by Chichi, Videl, Cassie, Mia and my grandmother. C-18 didn't flinch, but seconds later, she followed. Maybe because she was the only woman around.
Before I could think nicely, I was sitting at a long table, eating what I could. My father was to my right and my grandfather to my left, both ate more than me. ,,I still wonder what stomachs you Saiyajins must have." Krillin sighed as he drank a coffee. ,,Well, that's their trademark." Yamchua laughed: ,,I still remember Goku eating for fifty, with twelve, after the tournament." ,,Poor Master Roshi. He had to pay." Krillin laughed. ,,That was my own fault. Now I know, never bring a Saiyajin kid or grown-up out for food." Master Roshi sighed. ,,To my luck, I didn't have to pay at the second tournament." Tenshinhan laughed: ,,Looking at Goku eat now is horror." Suddenly, Goku and Kakarott stopped eating, both looked concentrated. I reached out with my senses and felt a large group of energy, but the next second it disappeared. The second was enough, every warrior in the room had felt the negative energy out north. ,,It's time..." My grandfather noticed. ,,What?" My grandmother wondered. ,,They're here, mom." My father explained. ,,Have you got the uniforms?" My grandfather asked. ,,All ready!" My grandmother answered and rushed off. Everybody followed. We came into a large room and my grandmother stood in front of large boxes. ,,Vegeta! Your uniform!" My grandmother called and took out a Saiyajin armor. My grandfather disappeared into a room next to the one we were in and came out in the armor. It had shoulder straps and was yellow, white. ,,Trunks!" My grandmother called. One after another, got an armor. Now, all the men, except for Goku and boys wore their armors. ,,Ice." My grandmother called and my mother took her uniform. As she wore it, it looked far different than the one of the men. It fitted perfectly and was fully black. Only the gloves, which were only up to her elbow and shoes, were white. Now, I too wore an armor and my grandmother gave an armor to Goku. He didn't have his red cloth, neither did Kakarott. As Goku was finish, he tied the red cloth around his head: ,,Ready?" ,,Yes!" We all called, only Kakarott had remained quiet. He was trying to tie the red cloth around his head. ,,Come on." Goku grinned and tied it neatly around the head of his grandson. ,,Where were those guys?" Cassie asked. ,,Up north." My grandfather answered and my grandmother took out a map. ,,... I am sure, it was right here." My grandfather pointed at a large city. ,,Northern capital. That's bad." Goku noticed. Everybody nodded. ,,Well, luckily, we can revive them with the Dragonballs. It's more important to save the universe." Gohan explained. ,,You're right." His brother nodded. ,,Let's get there, before they 'evacuate' the entire city." My father said and we all went out. ,,Be careful!!" My grandmother and everyone else called. Some of us waved them goodbye, but the elder warriors just walked on, until we were outside. My grandfather and Goku were up front, as if they were the leaders. In an indirect way, they were. They were the eldest of their families and the most experienced. ,,Wait!" Piccolo came behind us, he wore his normal gi: ,,I'm coming too, remember?" ,,Right." Goku nodded: ,,Let's go." We took off at high speed. The northern capital was about three hundred kilometers away, which would have taken a high-speed plane about ten hours. We, without any mechanical items, only took five minutes. As we all hovered over the city, we didn't find any strong auras or unbelievable energies. ,,Did anybody feel anything?" Mia asked. ,,None." Goku answered. ,,Nothing." My father said. ,,Nada." Irene answered. ,,Looks like we have to use our eyes." My mother noticed: ,,I think we should spread out." ,,In groups." Goten added. ,,Good idea. I don't feel good leaving the kids alone." My mother commented: ,,Goku, Vegeta? Any ideas of groups?" ,,In every group there should be a stronger one." My grandfather said. ,,Always three kids together. Irene, Serene and Sepia, you go with Piccolo." Goku said: ,,Okay?" We nodded. ,,Kakarott, Lion and Leo, you go with Goten." Goku continued: ,,Bra and Pan, you go together with Gohan. Cassie, Mia and Joey go together. Ice and Trunks together and Vegeta and I go single." ,,How shall we call for help? We can't just scream." Goten noticed. ,,We'll do it like we did with the Cyborgs. A power up." Piccolo said. ,,Good idea." Goku noticed. ,,Split!!" My grandfather commanded and we grouped up. We all flew to different sections of the city, landing somewhere. Irene, Serene, Piccolo and I landed in a shopping street and started our search.
Chapter 29
Leo, 10
My brother, father, Lion and I flew to the part of the city, which was near the mountains. I felt how Sepia, Irene, Serene and Piccolo went for the middle. The life I had spent until now, only contained pod five and a few parts of Capsule Corp. This was the first time the other five children and I were outside.
My father and grandfather were more experienced. My grandfather had traveled around the countryside, looking for adventure and ways to become stronger. My father had explored many cities and especially malls, which were his specialty.
,,Let's check out this part. Land on different buildings, so that the people won't notice us so fast." My father said and landed on a building with a round roof.
Even if he was still a teen, he seemed to be more developed than others of his age. The reason must be that he was a warrior, like many of my family. My father had seen death, felt it and knew, like everyone of us, how much worth some things had. Other people, mostly humans, killed others, because they don't know the worth of life.
My little brother landed on a building opposite our father and Lion was a little undecided. He hopped over four buildings, until he found a perfect place. I took the building that stood on a curve of the street, able to see four streets at once. ,,See anything, boys?" My father asked, looking up and down the street. ,,Nothing on these two streets!" Lion answered, showing at the street my father saw and the one that went towards the hills. ,,Me no see nothing!" Kakarott joked: ,,No, really. I don't see a thing and I can check up two streets." He turned around his own axe, showing he saw nothing. I looked around.
First the left street, then the right. Nothing. At the back? Nothing. In the front?
I blinked. Did I just see a red tinted Scouter? I didn't say anything yet and looked closer. Brown armor, spiked, white hair. I didn't know how the Dark Saiyajins looked like, but I did know how normal Saiyajins looked like. Brown armors and spiked hair were some trademarks. I blinked again, trying to see the figure. A Scouter and... a white tail!!! ,,Alarm!!!" I screamed, raising my power higher. My father, brother and Lion leaped next to me and I pointed down to the white haired figure. ,,Darn!!" My father called and he too rose his power. Irene, Serene, Sepia and Piccolo reached us first: ,,Found them?" ,,Only two!" My brother answered, pointing at the two figures. The second one looked like the first, so it wasn't hard to find him. ,,Piccolo! Tell the others to look for white, spiky hair!!" My father commanded, looking very annoyed: ,,That white is giving me a headache. One more reason to get rid of those guys." Piccolo closed his eyes and soon, powers burst out like flowers in spring. Ten powers, signalizing that everyone had gotten the message. The ten powers arrived soon, now everybody was standing on a building, watching the two white spots in the crowd. ,,How shall we attack? They're Scouters should have detected us already." Piccolo noticed. ,,We can't just drop in. We have to get them up here. I'm sure, they want us to go down and kill some humans." Vegeta said. ,,I can't detect them..." My mother noticed. ,,Me either." My grandfather said: ,,They must have an aura, but they don't. They can't be Cyborgs." ,,Do you want to wait forever up there?!!" Came a very cold voice from the bottom. We looked down from our discussion and saw the two Dark Saiyajins floating above a stunned crowd. ,,Looks like we can forget the surprise attack." My brother growled. ,,Their Scouters have already found us, stupid." Vegeta hissed. ,,He's new, Vegeta." My grandfather reminded his Saiyajin friend. ,,Forget it, let's party." Vegeta grinned and slowly floated downwards. We all landed in a circle of people. ,,I thought there would be a thousand of you ugly fellows?" Vegeta asked. ,,We're only a small part of a large explorer group, King Vegeta." The left D-Saiyajin (It's too long to write: Dark Saiyajins the whole time) said. ,,Thanks for the info. What are your names? It's a little strange to think left D-Saiyajin and right D-Saiyajin." Grandfather said. ,,Pico." The D-Saiyajin with the longer hair said, he stood on the left: ,,And this is Guido." ,,You're brothers." Piccolo noticed. ,,Uh... Nice green..." Guido frowned at the sight of Piccolo. ,,Well, come on now. We have to capture you guys." Pico said. ,,Stop jabbering such shit! We're not going anywhere!!" Kakarott shouted. ,,Hey, that Kakarott guy shrunk." Guido noticed. ,,No, I'm the real Kakarott. This is Kakarott jr." Grandfather explained. I heard Guido whispering to his brother: ,,That guy looks dangerous and you know, he's the strongest Saiyajin ever lived..." ,,Forget it! That's just a stupid fairy tale!!" Pico shouted: ,,If he is that ugly legendary Saiyajin, who was the third Saiyajin born, Saiyajins are weaklings! That guy only has a power level of one hundred!!" Vegeta grinned: ,,You guys didn't learn, did you?" ,,Let's give them a piece of our mind. Who wants?" Trunks asked, slamming his fists together with an evil grin. ,,Let's play for it. Only one gets them?" Uncle asked. ,,No, let's take two against two." Bra said. ,,Okay. Rock... paper... scissors!!" My mother and everybody joined in. Kakarott, Lion, my dad, grandfather, uncle, Piccolo, Trunks, Joey and mother fell out. Now Irene, Serene, Sepia, Pan, Bra, Mia, Ice and Vegeta were still inside the game. So Pan, Sepia, her mother and I were the only ones of our family. ,,Again!" I called and this time Irene, Sepia, Pan, Bra and Mia fell out. So four were left. ,,Okay, here it goes again!" Ice called and we showed our hands. ,,YEAH!!!" I called, Serene and I had won. ,,Ladies first." I grinned. ,,Okay." Serene went into fighting pose. I heard my father cursing and my grandfather was laughing. He didn't seem upset to have lost: ,,Well, you should let the kids go first. It's their first real fight." ,,Stupid little girl, only with a fighting power of fifty." Pico laughed, he didn't know in how much trouble he was getting. ,,Oh yeah? Take a look at your Scouter, baby." Serene grinned, I felt how her power rose, but didn't flinch. She was an Angel and Angels were weaker than Saiyajins in any way. Angels were a far related species of the Saiyajins. ,,Not bad for a ten-year-old Angel." Serenes' father noticed. ,,Weak for a new generation Saiyajin." Vegeta noticed. ,,What?" Guido wondered: ,,New generation Saiyajin? And why are you guys so aggressive? Normal Saiyajins are normally quite friendly." ,,Well, we aren't normal Saiyajins." Vegeta answered: ,,The normal Saiyajins are extinct, we are an evolvement of normal Saiyajins, new generation Saiyajins, but mostly known as Super Saiyajins. You D-Saiyajins are an under-developed species." ,,Tell us more, before you die." Pico suggested. ,,Okay. Super Saiyajins aren't very old. Normal Saiyajins are more than two thousand years old, D-Saiyajins one thousand five hundred years old and Super Saiyajins about fifty years old. I was the first born Super Saiyajin, Kakarott the second. There are Super Angels too, Angels that are much stronger than normal ones and even more aggressive. We also have a Super Namek, with a high power level and mixed children. I think I can name the species: Super Angels, Super Nameks, Super Saiyajins and human Saiyajins, I'll just call them Rage Saiyajins, since they become stronger under extreme rage and there are Angel Saiyajins, I'll just call them White Saiyajins, because they are a little friendlier than Super Saiyajins. Enough?" Vegeta asked. He had listed up quite some things. White Saiyajin was fitting to Sepia, Lion and me, I hope, but Kakarott was a little different. ,,Eh, Vegeta?" I asked. ,,What?" Vegeta asked. ,,Kakarott isn't really friendly." I answered. ,,Say that again!!" Kakarott boomed: ,,I and not friendly? Why not?!" ,,That's why, little brother." I explained, rubbing my ear. ,,Hey, your brother is friendly, but how shall a person be friendly to enemies?" Grandfather asked: ,,And in training you need concentration." ,,Let's just call him Kakarotts' reborn state." Vegeta said. ,,What?! But he's my boy!" Father called. ,,But he's more alike to your father than to you, Goten." Vegeta growled. ,,Oh... I was alike to dad too." Dad noticed. ,,So, who is what?" Guido asked. ,,Do we have to tell you the entire history of Saiyajins and it's developments or are you going to fight? Just for the info, I'm a Super Angel." Serene said and her power rose to the half of maximum. The Scouters of the two D-Saiyajins exploded: ,,What...?!!" ,,I lastly measured... five million..." Pico stuttered. ,,Mine had six million." Guido whispered. ,,Time for some action!!! DIE!!!" Serene screamed and fired off a chi blast, that vaporized Pico. ,,Oh my god!!" Guido wanted to fly away, but I had my power ready already.
An unbelievable feeling ran through my body. It was like I had butterflies in my stomach and little pieces of debris flying against my body, making it tingle. Adrenalin ran through my veins with my power and my body tensed.
My eyes formed to slits and I flew off, I overtook Guido easily and stopped him dead in his tracks: ,,And where do you think you're going? Maybe... to hell?" I asked and blasted Guido to hell. ,,That was fun..." I grinned. ,,You're a Saiyajin alright." Grandfather grinned: ,,Let's stay around, I'm sure a few of their friends will turn up soon. Ah... there they are already." I noticed how a shadow fell over the city and looked towards the sun, only finding something large in front of it. As the shadow became larger, I noticed white eyes, red tinted Scouters and brown armors. More of those guys. ,,WHOOHOO!!!! At last a little danger comes into this boring trip!!" Kakarott started to howl. I found it quite of idiotic. ,,A battle cry goes like this... HHHAAAAA!!!!!!!" Vegeta shouted as loud as he could. ,,YEEEHAAAAA!!" My father and his friend Trunks shouted. They all seemed to love battle. ,,This is going to be fun!!!" Ice, my mom, Joey and Mia called. Piccolo remained quiet. ,,YEEAAAAAHH!!!!" Uncle screamed. The D-Saiyajins stopped floating down and parted into groups, looking at us rather confused. ,,Blast the D-Saiyajins to hell..." Pan and Bra sang loudly and danced. I found my fellow warriors a little crazy. Lion and Sepia leaped into the air with an outstretched fist: ,,YEAH!!!" Vegeta had stopped screaming and turned to grandfather: ,,Where's your famous battle cry? Or didn't I hear nicely as you battled with me and kicked with full power?" Grandfather grinned: ,,Leo didn't either." He pointed at me. ,,Come on, kid, give it your best shot. It's kind of an tradition to scream in and before battle, so that we scare the hell out of our enemies." Vegeta explained and crossed his arms: ,,Or else you can't fight." That forced me to scream a 'battle cry': ,,IIIHHYAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!"
It was an unbelievable feeling. My power rose even higher and my Saiyajin instincts activated. That's why everybody was screaming and shouting, it was kind of a wake-up call for the instincts of a warrior.
Grandfather hadn't even loaded his power, but suddenly, his eyes became empty and wind slowly rose up from the ground around him. He formed his hands to fists and held his arms by his sides and looked slightly upwards. He gritted his teeth and as the wind fully covered him, I twitched. ,,RRRAAAAHH!!!!!" His voice was booming and even Vegeta twitched and stood a little dumbfounded. The wind blew against us and fully disappeared. A golden aura surrounded his body and his hair flew wildly around. ,,Isn't that... the mystical Saiyajin stage... that only Gohan could use...?" Vegeta asked. Mystical Saiyajin? ,,What's a mystical Saiyajin?" I asked. ,,An unnatural Saiyajin stage. If you have a power, far beyond the Super Saiyajin power, without transforming, you become a mystical Saiyajin. Until now, only I could use that stage, because my hidden power was freed by the Kaioshin from before 15 generations." Uncle answered: ,,How did dad get to that stage? And he's even more powerful than me as mystical Saiyajin." ,,I trained under a gravity of five hundred thousand, but it was too much for my body, but somehow I reached the mystical Saiyajin and could take it a little." Grandfather answered: ,,Let's party." ,,Yeah!!!" Every Saiyajin and Angel called, only Piccolo still remained quiet. ,,YAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" We flew upwards and the battle started. I saw beams in the colors of red and black fly towards me, but I didn't even feel them whiz by my body. I turned around my own axe, as a beam had caught me and caused a tornado. ,,Energy... tornado!!!" I shouted, pulling the D-Saiyajin group into the tornado of energy and sending them to hell. Vegeta was fighting with only his legs, his arms were crossed and a D-Saiyajin hit him towards the ground. He flew into five buildings, making them collapse onto him, but a golden comet shot out of the debris and killed another group of D-Saiyajins. It was Vegeta, he was unharmed and looked rather bored. Serene had a lot of work, she had the largest group of D-Saiyajins and I decided to help her. I knocked ten away, giving her space to form an energy explosion. I felt how she gathered her energy and then it burst out of her body, turning the surrounding D-Saiyajins into dust. ,,Thanks!" Serene thanked and looked around. ,,You're welcome." I answered and also looked for anyone who needed help. Nobody did. Uncle, dad and grandfather were goofing around with their group and Bra and Pan didn't have work anymore. Piccolo, Ice, my mom, Joey, Mia, Trunks and Irene were also just floating around. Lion and Sepia just finished off the second last group and Kakarott was also just playing around. ,,Come on, you guys! Give them the rest and lets look for new toys, the old ones are all so breakable." Trunks laughed. ,,Okay." The four alike looking Saiyajins answered. Goku blasted his group to hell in less than a second, so did Gohan and dad. Kakarott made the same move as our grandfather and was almost as fast as him. ,,These guys were boring..." Dad yawned: ,,I killed one by just flicking my finger." ,,Weaklings." Vegeta growled. ,,Did anyone count how many they were?" Uncle asked. ,,About... five hundred." Ice answered. ,,Five hundred to one thousand five hundred left." Grandfather noticed and looked around. Suddenly something knocked me out of the sky and made me crash into three buildings, since I was quite small. As I hovered above the destruction I have made, looking for the reason why I had caused it, I noticed I wasn't the only one being attacked. About fifteen buildings were destroyed and debris filled the air. Vegeta had caused another row of five buildings to collapse, so had grandfather and uncle. Everybody with larger bodies had destroyed five, I had counted wrongly. Fifty buildings had collapsed, about a quarter of the whole city. The smaller persons, like me and my brother, had only caused three to collapse. Eight times three makes twenty-four-buildings, half of the quarter. We had destroyed a little less than the half of the large city and surely, we had killed about two thousand humans. Thank Dende for the Dragonballs or else he would kill us. ,,Which fucking asshole was that?!!" Vegeta screamed and a small part of the area around him exploded. ,,Dad!!" Bra called disgusted. ,,In a way he's right." Uncle said as he stood up, stones fell of his back: ,,No more Mr. Nice Guy." ,,GRR!!!" Kakarott arose from a pile of stones, he looked furious. I heard thirteen explosions, one louder than the other. Trunks was the last one causing an explosion as he freed himself out of a pile of dead bodies and stones. Grandfather was still missing as the last of the first fleet of D-Saiyajins landed. ,,Back away guys." I heard a voice in my head, recognizing it as the one of my grandfather and we all listened, even Vegeta. Only he knew what his fellow Saiyajin was up to. ,,Die you fucking bastards!!" Vegeta laughed. ,,What...?" A D-Saiyajin with brown hair asked. Suddenly, the ground behind them exploded. ,,Kamehame...!!!!!" I heard the voice of my grandfather out of the clouds of dust and he was revealed: ,,...HAAAA!!!!!" The blue beam emerged from his cupped hands and it was large. It was at least five times as large as my Kamehame-ha, which had the size of an elephant. It wasn't very strong, though it was enough to kill every D-Saiyajin who was standing in the way and that was every single one of them. They had made the mistake to stand in a large group and not split up, but it wouldn't have helped anyway. ,,Well, that was this years mission. I can't wait until next year, at least the guys will be stronger." Father sighed. ,,Ah, that was good." Vegeta stretched himself: ,,I thought my mean side didn't exist anymore." Grandfather came over to us: ,,That was fun, mommy, can we do that again?" I started to laugh: ,,Yeah, next year, grandpa!" ,,I think we should revive these guys now, since Dende changed the Dragonball rules and now we can die as often as we want." Uncle noticed and picked up a burned person: ,,UGH!!" ,,I see dead people." Kakarott joked as he looked around. ,,We caused quite a wallop around here, huh?" Trunks noticed. ,,Reminds me of my first time of wrecking." Ice grinned. ,,Oh yeah! That thingy at the mall, right?" Mom asked laughing: ,,Trunks, that surf over the fountain water was cool." ,,Thanks." Trunks thanked and then he looked up. We followed, we all had heard the noise of rotors in the sky come nearer. We watched how a copter landed, a cop emerged from it. ,,Oh shit!!!" Dad called and backed away a little. ,,We're in big trouble! I hope they don't have us on video!" Uncle called and he too backed away. ,,As much as I like this super hero job, I hate it because of one thing: The press and the police!" Kakarott shouted and leaped onto dads back. ,,We should make a move, shouldn't we?" Vegeta asked. ,,Good idea, but somehow..." Sepia looked downwards at her legs. A half dead D-Saiyajin held her angles. ,,Oh, fucking idiots!!" Vegeta hissed and was about to chi blast the Saiyajin as the police came over to us. ,,What happened?!!" The leader asked, he was very small and didn't even have hair on his head. ,,Well, there was a gas explosion." Uncle lied. ,,This and a gas explosion? The stones of the buildings wouldn't be so big if it was." The policeman said: ,,Now, you guys did this, right?!!" ,,Honestly, sir, we didn't do a thing!" Ice looked at the man with very honest eyes, but only from the outside Sepias' mother looked like an Angel. She was a rebel. ,,Sir..." It toned from the bottom and we looked downwards at the D-Saiyajin: ,,...these... killers... they... destroyed... and killed... everything..." ,,Shut...!!!" Vegeta wanted to start, but grandfather held his mouth closed: ,,Vegeta!!" ,,You're under arrest!!!" The policeman called. ,,I don't think so. Damn idiot!!" Trunks hissed and kicked the head of the D-Saiyajin, killing him. ,,Teleport for everyone!!" Grandfather called and we all ran over to him. The area around us disappeared in a golden light.
Chapter 30
Vegeta, 52
Two weeks had passed since we, more Kakarott, had killed the explorer troops of the D-Saiyajins. This life had begun with so much adventure, but now... boring.... Train and fight with people you know since ages and nothing new. Really, I need some action. One week ago, I only got shocked. Bulma had insisted for me to cut my hair and now I'm having short, even more spiked hair (GT look). I mean, my hair has more spikes now. I'm real angry with Bulma, she didn't get that the hair of Saiyajins doesn't grow! Now I'm stuck with this fucking haircut... FOREVER!!! But one thing is real strange.... Saiyajins over fifty start to weaken, but somehow I'm getting stronger instead. Must be because I am the first of the Super Saiyajin species and that Super Saiyajins have other genes. It also could be, I'm getting as strong I was in my last life, but as far I can remember, I was even weaker. I was just as weak as I was as I first met my long life blood brother Kakarott. Even he is getting stronger and stronger and stronger... I don't think it has an end and he's always better. I think, that's just the way it is. But I still hate it!!
Kakarott and I had both just came out of the showers, since we had trained until eight pm. It was almost nine now and, as always, every single not battling woman, inclusive C-18, is sitting in front of that stupid TV and watching the news.
I couldn't stand the news since two weeks, I had blasted at least ten TVs and two radios. The only things the news brought was: 'Terror in the northern capital' 'dead thought people: alive!' and things like 'eighteen normal people: terrible murderers'.
Everybody of us, who had been in the battle, was totally annoyed and everybody was blasting TVs and radios, so I wasn't the only one this time. As I walked through the living room, I stopped dead in my tracks. Kakarott was watching TV too. The title this time: 'Hero and criminal: What made the hero of the entire world become evil?'. I didn't understand the title and decided to watch this time.
,,The horrible slaughter two weeks ago reveals more and more shocking facts. Now, the king himself said that six of the criminals looked like the boy who had saved us from Piccolo years ago. He even said, it could be the grown up man with the scar and red cloth. Another shocking fact is, that another criminal, with unnatural green skin, looked like Piccolo. The king said: 'if you, who have done this horrible thing, see this, please come and tell me. I will not capture you, I only want to know the reason of this terror.' Now the sport."
,,Maybe you should pass by the palace, Goku." Kakarotts' wife noticed. ,,I don't feel good about the whole thing, Chichi. I know the king is a nice guy, but I have a bad feeling." Kakarott explained. ,,Oh please! You can't let this go on like that! Go there with Piccolo, Gohan, Goten, Pan, Leo and Kakarott. If you want you can take everybody, but just go." Chichi pleaded. I knew Kakarott couldn't say no. ,,Alright." Kakarott sighed: ,,But I'm going to take only one person along. I don't want to make the king feel offended. It could make things worse." ,,Who do you plan to take?" I asked. ,,What do you think?" Kakarott asked. ,,Me." I growled. ,,Right." Kakarott answered. ,,Why?" I wondered. ,,Because we were the main characters. We caused the most damage." Kakarott answered: ,,We're going tomorrow at two pm." ,,Don't you want to tell him, you're coming?" Bulma asked. ,,To get the press? No way. I don't want Vegeta blasting people to hell and I think I myself couldn't hold back. I'm getting too old and too much Saiyajin for all this." With that, Kakarott went upstairs to sleep. I sighed and also went upstairs. Tomorrow, I would have a very long day and I will need a lot of nerves.
I hardly noticed that I slept until noon. On normal days, Kakarott and I sleep until five, ate breakfast and start training until twelve, eat again and train until eight pm.
I went downstairs for food, on the way I teamed up with my fellow Saiyajin Kakarott: ,,What time is it?" ,,Twelve, idiot." I growled and sped up. ,,What did I do now?" Kakarott asked a little annoyed. ,,Ask." I answered, more annoyed. ,,The clock in my room ran out of battery last night, what can I do for that?" Kakarott asked further, he too sounded a little grumpy. ,,First, you pull me to the king. Second, you ask stupid questions!" I scolded and looked over at him. I could hold myself back from going on, the glance he gave me would have made my soul leave my body and run for cover. His eyes were fully black, none of his friendliness was shown and I was sure, he had a real bad sleep last night. ,,What's gotten into you?!" I asked, sounding a little shocked. ,,Bad night." Kakarott growled in a way only I would. I wanted to ask again, but he interrupted me: ,,I dreamt about the past. Compared to you, I saw how Vegeta was destroyed and how my parents lost their lives. You, my friend, have a life light as a feather." With those words Kakarott went into the kitchen. He left me behind, totally dumbfounded.
In a way he was right, I didn't know how it had looked like as Vegeta was destroyed, but I had traveled with Freezer my whole childhood and that was real scary. But know, after Kakarotts' words, I was a little confused. Was his life really harder than mine? He had lived with humans, dropped onto his head, had been confronted with death with only twelve years and fought for his dirty life. Maybe it wasn't the life on Earth that had scarred his soul. He had two years of life on Vegeta (alternative future, remember?) and a Saiyajin can walk and talk with one. And he was underclass. Must be a terrible combination. I decided to ask him once.
After eating, Bulma forced Kakarott and me to take a shower, because we would meet up with the king. But Kakarott was different. Bulma didn't know that he had a bad night and a very bad temper today, so she just started whining. ,,You two take a shower, before you go and wear something neat!" Bulma explained sharply. ,,Taking a shower isn't really against my will, but I don't like to wear that decent stuff." Kakarott answered, crossing his arms my style and turning his head away. I wanted to tell Bulma about his bad temper, but she was faster: ,,What?! The king is an important and respected man! He will think even worse of you if you turn up in used out clothes!!" ,,Bulma..." I started quietly, trying to stand between Kakarott and the mother of my two children. ,,I'm just going to wear my armor." Kakarott commented. ,,You..." Bulma started again, but this time, I shouted: ,,BULMA!!!" ,,What?!!" Bulma asked, looking furious. ,,Kakarott just happened to have a bad sleep last night and I worsened his mood already this morning. I don't think you would like it if he blasts the king to hell." I answered calmly. Was I saying that shit?! ,,I wouldn't blast him to hell, but I do not accept the idea of wearing decent clothing." Kakarott growled and glanced at me. I wish he hadn't done that. He scared the life out of me again: ,,Kakarott, do me a favor..." ,,What else?" Kakarott asked a little annoyed. ,,...try to be yourself..." I pleaded, not really pleading, more demanding, but he nodded: ,,I'll try, for your sake." So we took our showers and Kakarott looked a little better now. At least he didn't have that mean frown on his face, now he looked normal. Without a smile, but his eyes were as always. Thank Dende.
We wore our armors and took off. The palace wasn't far, that's what Kakarott had told me. ,,So... what are we going to tell that guy?" I asked. ,,Lets just see what he asks us, then we'll answer if we can." Kakarott answered: ,,We have to go a little more to the left." We turned a little and sped up, leaving a golden trail behind us.
Just shortly I had achieved the mystical Saiyajin stage and that was the reason why I could hold up with Kakarott.
Like Kakarott had said, it wasn't far. We had only taken two minutes of flight in mystical Saiyajin stage and landed in front of the castle. ,,Looks like they didn't change the architect." Kakarott noticed. ,,What?!" I wondered. ,,As Piccolo and I battled around here, Piccolo disintegrated the entire area." Kakarott answered: ,,Hey, you know what? Let's just do it like Saiyajins." ,,I'm liking you more and more." I grinned and we walked up towards the gate. Two guards were standing at the sides and as they saw us, they pointed their guns at us: ,,Stop!!" ,,We're here to see the king." I said. ,,Your entry form?" The left man asked. ,,Shall I give it to him?" I asked Kakarott and pointed. ,,You'd rather not, I don't want you killing anyone." Kakarott answered: ,,Just do it a little nicer." ,,Okay." I stepped towards the man and lifted him up, before he could react, of course. I pressed him against the wall: ,,Want to see our entry ticket?" I held up my fist. Kakarott held back the other guy, by squeezing his gun to trash. ,,No..." The man squeaked and I let him down: ,,We can go." Kakarott bent the door open: ,,Sorry, we don't have keys." ,,Still having a bad mood?" I asked. ,,Yes, now stop asking." We went up towards the main doors and I kicked them open, so that they flew out of their angles. The king sat in the room in front of a table, two of his people stood at the sides of the red carpet. ,,Wow, with a red carpet even." I joked. ,,And nice digs, too. I only saw this thing from outside once." Kakarott commented. ,,Who are you?!!" The king asked, leaping up from his chair. ,,You wanted an audience with us, dear king of Earth." I answered: ,,You have called us here, we didn't ask you if we could come." I walked up to the humans, Kakarott followed me, looking around. ,,You have to wait for an audience!" One of the guards called: ,,So please go out!" ,,Hey, Kakarott. Is this the way humans treat an other king?" I asked, I was actually joking.
Saiyajin humor is a little stupid, but I am the king of the Saiyajins, because if I were the prince, I must love Ice, but it is not so. She is the girlfriend of my son Trunks and the mother of his two children.
Kakarott decided to play along: ,,No, king Vegeta. They just don't know about other life forms." ,,King...?" The guard asked. ,,Yes, king! Now, is this audience finished?!!" I boomed, the two humans scrambled off. ,,What... what do you want? Who are you?" The king asked. ,,You wanted to talk to us and we will only talk to you ALONE!" Kakarott hissed a little, the guard was pointing his gun at him. ,,Oh... okay... Guards, leave the room." The king said and the guards moved a little, but then they stood still. ,,I know a perfect place to talk." Kakarott noticed: ,,The northern tower. Perfect all-round sight, if it interests someone." He went to the left. ,,Come." I said and followed, the king walked behind us. ,,But king! They could kill you!!" One of the guards called. ,,If we wanted to kill him, we would of blasted this place to smithereens already!!" I shouted and went on. It wasn't very high, but we walked slowly, so we took about a minute. Kakarott was already standing at the window, looking at something special. ,,Why are you staring at that piece of metal?" I asked a little annoyed. ,,Oh, it came handy once in the battle against Piccolo." Kakarott answered and turned around. The king sat in a chair behind a table again, we stood. ,,About what do you want to talk?" The king asked nervous. ,,You called us here per TV." I answered. ,,What?" The king wondered. ,,Okay, let us introduce ourselves. I am actually called Kakarott, but mostly named Goku." Kakarott bowed lightly. I found it idiotic: ,,I am king Vegeta." I didn't bow, but Kakarott kicked into my knees, which made me look like bowing to the king of Earth. ,,What was that for?!!" I asked angrily. ,,He is the king of the planet we newly call home, remember?" Kakarott asked. I growled deeply: ,,Idiot." Kakarott pulled up an eyebrow, but didn't take further notice: ,,You wanted to talk to us. If our names tell you nothing, we were two of the 'terrorists'." Kakarott didn't like the humans calling us terrorists at all, we had actually saved them. ,,You! Why have you done all that?! What do you want?!" The king leaped up, slammed his hands onto his table and looked real angry. ,,We don't like people shouting at us, king of Earth." I growled and crossed my arms. ,,We haven't done all that on purpose, we actually wanted to outgo all that." Kakarott answered calmly. ,,Then why didn't you?!" The king looked like he would want to cry. ,,It's a very long story, I think we should tell you." Kakarott sighed and I looked up: ,,You don't want to tell him about our heritage, do you?!!" ,,Is there another way? I would accept it, if it is better than my idea." Kakarott answered. ,,Well... I can't find one." I answered, this will be a long story.
Chapter 31
King of Earth, age unknown (must be old)
These... these... people... They have killed three thousand people, without even wanting it, which is what they say. They don't know how terrible things like the terror they had caused is. (How wrong he is. Remembering Freezer erasing one whole planet. Now that's what I call terror.)
,,Please, sit down." This Goku said and directed onto the chair behind me. I shook my head. ,,You are an old man, sorry to say, but you have been king almost as long as I live." Goku said in a very warm tone and I decided to listen. His tone seemed friendly, but it was wrong. He had murdered with others coldly. ,,You may not believe this, but we are not from this planet." Goku started. ,,What?!" I was shocked, an alien?! ,,Yes, it is the truth. That's why Vegeta is king. He is the king of Super Saiyajins, our race. The reason for all that terror is that we have much larger reasons, so large that we cannot respect single lives, how much we want to. There is another race, another type of Saiyajin. The Dark Saiyajins. They search for clean souls and absorb them to become stronger. Next to the Super Saiyajins and Dark Saiyajins, there are the so-called Angels, another Saiyajin type. The Super Saiyajins and Angels have gathered to battle against the D-Saiyajins, to stop their terror, like one thousand years ago. As the Saiyajins, Angels and D-Saiyajins had just begun existing on the planets Sepia-sei, Heaven and Hell, the D-Saiyajins invaded the planet of Angels, Heaven. More than the half of the Angels died, the others died in the war. The Angels searched up the help of the Saiyajins on their home planet Sepia-sei, to help them in battle against the enemy. Whole armies were slaughtered, families were parted and children were left alone to die. Only four Angels survived all that to die later: princess Sepia and her three guards: Joey, Cassie and Mia. The half of the Saiyajin nation was unconscious, the other half dead. The only battling Saiyajins left were: King Vegeta, prince Lion, the warrior Kakarott and his clan, containing three others. All named are reborn as new people with the old souls, to stop the D-Saiyajins again. You see, we are all reborn after one thousand years, even the D-Saiyajins. Prince Lion and princess Sepia loved each other and Sepia was even pregnant as the war started. There were five very strong D-Saiyajins, who had caused our death. Oregano, Grape, Lavender, Mea and their leader Mandarin. Even if I was stronger than the king, I couldn't defeat Mandarin. Oregano, Lavender and Mandarin were the strongest. Mandarin wanted to kill prince Lion, but princess Sepia leaped into the way and saved his life. They did something forbidden as Sepia died. Lion absorbed her soul, causing his power to reach the endless state. He did a kamikaze and killed all left over D-Saiyajins. Moments before, my sons, the daughter of one of them and I died. Lion died too, because he had self-destructed and Mia, Cassie and Joey tried to revive him, but they too used up all their power and died. So only king Vegeta was left, to die because Sepia-sei was destroyed by the last two D-Saiyajins. Mea and Grape. They died too, after they hadn't found anymore souls to absorb." Goku sighed and sat onto a chair. The story had touched my heart and I was sure it was true. They knew what real terror was, how it felt and how to stop it. ,,I thought you didn't know a thing about what you have done, but you seem to have seen more terror than anyone of us. I only remember the most horrible day in my life: As Piccolo turned up and at the same day I became happy, because a strange boy killed him." I told them, king Vegeta sat down: ,,If you only knew who that was. Piccolo isn't evil anymore, in the contrary, he is helping us, because Gokus' son Gohan has made friendship with him." I was surprised: ,,What...?" ,,Yes. Piccolo and I know us quite a long time. If I would be secretive, I wouldn't tell you that I was that strange boy with the ape tail, the trademark of all Saiyajins, even the not Saiyajin behaving Angels." Goku answered: ,,Our story is at about the half, you still want to hear?" ,,Yes, I have to know." I answered. ,,But swear not to tell anyone." Goku said, he had closed his eyes for some moments. He opened them rapidly, there was a small flame in each eye. I gazed into them, but I stopped as a blue colored picture in my head popped up. Fire, all over and screams of children and women.
,,I swear." I answered. ,,Vegeta, you go on." Goku stood up and went to the window, turning his back to us. ,,You saw how our planet was destroyed, why don't you tell?" Vegeta asked. ,,Because I don't want to go through every single thing again!" Goku turned around, his eyes had changed a lot. They were dark, very dark, but also sad. ,,Okay, okay, calm down." Vegeta said and turned to me: ,,More than hundred years later, the Saiyajins have changed. We became warriors, bloody and cold warriors. We lived on the planet Vegeta, named after my father and me. There was a guy called Freezer, who gave us technology and money, but we had to work for him. One day, we became too strong for his taste, so he decided to kill every Saiyajin on Vegeta. I wasn't around at that time, but Kakarott was. I don't know exactly what happened, but Freezer blew up the whole planet. Only four Saiyajins survived. Kakarott, his brother Radditz, Nappa and me. Nappa and Radditz are dead because of their deeds, so only Kakarott and I are the last full-blooded Saiyajins alive. We became a new race, the Super Saiyajins, because we were far smarter, stronger and faster than normal Saiyajins. That was the entire story." Vegeta leaned back and my eyes swayed over to Goku or Kakarott. His tail, which I still remembered, hung down, he stared out of the window and his hands were formed to fists. ,,Is everything...?" I started. ,,Yes." Goku interrupted me in my question. Vegeta stood up and went over to his Saiyajin friend: ,,Hey, what's going on with you? Weakening after such a day of bad mood?" ,,No." Goku just answered, still staring out. ,,I hate to ask, but... how did you get here?" I asked. Goku didn't turn around: ,,I was chosen to kill every human and sell Earth, but I fell on my head and forgot everything. From that day on, I became weaker, until I trained in space for the first time, years ago." ,,What actually happened on your home?" I asked, I was curious and Vegeta said that only Goku had sawn how their home was destroyed. ,,Freezer can breathe in space, so he climbed out of his ship and formed a large ball of energy. While all that happened, my mother carried me to the space ships and put me in against my will. My father held Freezer up, so that I could flee. Short after I left the planet, I whizzed by Freezer and my father. I watched how the ball of energy touched my home and disintegrated it, with every living creature on it. I got my revenge. I nearly killed Freezer on an other planet, years later. He died, even if I didn't cause his death." Goku answered, still facing the window. But then he whirled towards the door and wanted to rush out. ,,Hey!" Vegeta called. Goku stopped: ,,King of Earth?" ,,Yes?" I wondered. ,,That wasn't the end of terror. The war has just begun." With that, Goku went out.
Chapter 32
Lavender, 23
,,WHAT?!!!!" A scream roared through the room and it came from no one else than Mandarin. I sighed, must be bad news if Mandarin goes up the wall. ,,The explorer troop has completely... vanished?!!" Mandarin stood up from his seat and gritted his teeth. ,,As I tell you, master." Potaito, a Dark Saiyajin of the second wave, reported. ,,That means the Saiyajins and Angels know that we are coming. They must be remembering. Darn!! At the second wave will only arrive in one year!" Mandarin clutched his fists. I stood up from my place and went over to him: ,,Calm down, Mandarin. Those Saiyajins are surely still as strong as they were years ago (how wrong you are, Lavender). This will be an easy game." ,,You're right, Lave." Mandarin answered and stood up straight again. I smiled, I had a lot of influence on Mandarin. Not only because I was his favorite training partner, because he loved me, so did I love him. His shining white hair started to float a little, but then it set down again. His hair wasn't very long, it only went up to his shoulder and he tied it to a ponytail. I was like a dark shadow next to him. Not only his hair was shining, his eyes were icy blue, which gave him a ghostly appearance. I was, like said, a shadow. I had lavender hair and eyes, hip long and open. Grape, my brother, also stood up: ,,We should see if the second troop can survive too." Grape had, fitting to his name, grape color hair and eyes. Oregano also had a fitting hair and eye color, dark green and Mea had gray hair and eyes. Strange, because she wasn't old. We all hate the Saiyajin and Angels that have token our lives years ago.
We all hated king Vegeta and his best friend Kakarott. Kabuki, Kakarotts' first son and his second son Leo. And there was Celia, the daughter of Kabuki. We also hated Joey, Mia and Cassie, the three helpers of princess Sepia. Sepia... That horrible name. The princess of the Angels, princess Sepia and the prince of the Saiyajins, prince Lion. These two are the ones we hate most. Not only that they have killed Oregano, Mandarin and me. Prince Lion just had to absorb her dirty soul.
My eyes turned to slits as I thought of our enemies. I wonder what has become of them? Maybe weaklings, but something told me that they were... better. ,,What's wrong, Lave? You look so angry." Mandarin noticed. ,,Nothing, just thinking about those dirty Saiyajins and Angels. I think I have to throw up if I only hear those names!" I scolded: ,,But I do wonder how they look like now. We hardly have changed, but since all Saiyajin women are dead, how will the children look like? Or do they exist? Do Lion, Leo, Kabuki and Celia live? What do you think?" I asked. ,,I think they are alive. If Celia is alive, so are her father Kabuki and her uncle Leo and when Sepia is alive, Lion is surely alive too. But this time, they don't have the Angelic and Saiyajin armies to accompany them." Grape answered grinning. ,,But if they could defeat two thousand men alone, they are much stronger than before." A peeping interrupted me and we turned to a large screen. First we only saw black, then we heard a voice: ,,Kakarott, can you fix it or not? I thought you're a technical genius when it comes to things from Saiyajins and others?" I recognized that voice, King Vegeta. ,,It's working already, stupid. I'm only fiddling with the display, I think it's working on their side, but not on ours. Press that red button." The other voice was familiar, but different. We stayed quiet, then the ugly face of Kakarott appeared on the screen. The red piece of cloth, the horrible scar and those... dazzling eyes. I was dumbfounded. Even Mea was fascinated, Kakarott had changed a lot. ,,Hey, can you D-Saiyajins hear me?" Kakarott asked. ,,We can, dirty Saiyajin. What do you want?!!" Mandarin commanded and I disliked him for his tone.
Kakarott didn't do a thing. What am I thinking?!!! I'm falling for the enemy!!! Our worst nightmare!!!
,,I only wanted to tell you who killed your army." Kakarott answered stern, in his eyes was a dark fire and as I gazed into them, I nearly became pale.
In a kind of blue color, I saw his remembrance. His father, who looked exactly like him and how he died. How Kakarott cried for the lives of his parents and how he shouted for his father, reaching out with his hand, to only find nothing.
,,Oh... my god..." I stuttered and held my hand in front of my mouth. Mandarin was talking to King Vegeta, who said something: ,,Kakarott erased the largest part of your army without even breaking sweat, Mandarin. You should get stronger if you want to fight us." ,,Get off the line, you talk so much shit." Kakarott pushed King Vegeta out of the way and then I saw it again. His remembrance. ,,AH!!" I turned away and combed through my hair. What terror. So terrible that even a Dark Saiyajin becomes scared. ,,How I see, you have a little problem. Then I will leave you." Kakarott said, I had hoped for it. It was so terrible, his remembrance was now burned into my brain and always turned up when I closed my eyes. I sacked onto my knees: ,,Go away!!!" I started to cry: ,,And take your terrible remembrance with you, you... you dirty Saiyajin!!!" ,,As you wish." I heard Kakarott and the communication broke off. I fell into darkness.
,,Mother!! Where are you taking me?!!" Kakarott screamed, his mother carried him, while she was running in panic. ,,To safety!!" His mother replied and ran past Freezer and Kakarotts' father: ,,Run!! Get Kakarott to Earth!!! I'll try to stop him!!" Freezer laughed coldly and Kakarott looked back to his father and leaped off the arms of his mother: ,,Don't die!!!" He was near to tears already. His mother picked him up and ran into a building. She threw him into a pod: ,,Kakarott... listen... we don't have much time. Go to Earth and train hard! Become strong, like your father and I always wanted you to. I love you, dear." His mother slammed the door closed, before Kakarott could reply and the pod disappeared. ,,Mother?... Mother!!!!" Kakarott screamed, his pod rushed backwards out of the atmosphere of Vegeta. Kakarott saw a large red ball, which made it's way towards Vegeta, then he started to cry. He reached out with his small hand and only touched the window of his pod, then Vegeta exploded.
I quickly sat up and tore my eyes open.
Why do I have to see this? Why me? Because I dared to gaze into his strong and sad eyes? Because they had that strange fire? Was that fire... the fire before the explosion of Vegeta?
I broke out in tears. I had never cried for another, but the story of Kakarott had touched my soul, if I had one. I shouldn't tell anyone about this, they would lock me up. But... will I weaken when I see him again? Will he rob me of all power, by just turning up? And what is this strange feeling I have in my stomach? And why did Kakarott have to pull that terrible fait?
Chapter 33
Goten, 20
The rest of the year had passed quickly and every warrior was waiting for the day of the arrival of the second wave. We had lots of meetings in the last weeks; tips for the fight for the young ones and kind of forbidden things were mentioned. We also talked about Lavenders' blackout we could watch on the communicator of the ship of the D-Saiyajins. She had told my father to go and take his remembrances with him and many of us wondered what she had meant. Actually, everybody, even my dad. He was dumbfounded when we asked him what he had done.
We were at the beach for some relaxing, it was the first thing normal we did since years. The kids, even the ever so stern Kakarott, were playing in the water and sand, while we parents talked about old times and other things. My mother was talking to Bulma and C-18 in her hesitating tone and Bulma and C-18 commented. The girls, that means: Ice, Mia, Bra, Pan and Cassie, were lying in the sun and talking sometimes. Gohan was talking with Videl and Trunks and I were talking too. Everything was idyllic. Almost everything. If you don't count Vegeta and my dad missing, everything was all right. Even on a nice holiday like this one, they prefer to fight each other again, just without the Super Saiyajin stages. ,,I'm going to grill your ass this time, Kakarott!!!" Vegeta screamed from above and fired off a Final Flash with little power, since it would destroy Earth. ,,That's what you think!!" My father answered and attacked with a Kamehame-ha, that blasted the Final Flash and itself to smithereens. I heard my mother sighing: ,,Always the same old thing and they still think it isn't boring." ,,Well, I think we humans will never understand Saiyajins. Especially the great king and his even greater best warrior." Trunks' mother joked. ,,Ah, can't those two stop fighting for at least two minutes?!! Is that too much to ask?!! They're standing in my light!!!" My cousin scolded and sat up. Trunks and I were watching our fathers battling each other and slowly my father was winning the upper hand. He smacked Vegeta across the landscape and right into the sea, a big fountain of water splashed, but Vegeta shot out again: ,,I hate you!!!" My father laughed joyfully as he attacked Vegeta and made it to give him a bath again. Now the children noticed their battling forefathers. Sepia, Lion and Serene were calling for Vegeta to win and Kakarott, Leo and Irene were laughing joyfully over my dad winning. Krillin and Maron landed with Master Roshi, who stared at Mia, Cassie and Ice, who were watching the two battling Saiyajins. As long Master Roshi didn't start to nosebleed or have drool sliming out of his mouth, I didn't care much, neither did Trunks or Joey, who had came to us. Yamchua also landed and Tenshinhan and Chao-zu too. We all started to watch the two battling men. There were two blue shields around their muscular bodies, protecting each other from attacks. They were ramming into each other, wanting to break the shield of the other. My father came slanting from the top and Vegeta slanting from the bottom. They crashed against each other, causing large thunderbolts to run around their shields. They changed sides and rammed each other again. This could take longer, I knew it. The shields were a new technique, made by my dad and Vegeta. So they were the only ones using them for the first. Vegeta came from the left, crashing towards my father and my father didn't even flinch to evade. He just did the same and rushed towards Vegeta. This time, their shields caused a loud explosion and forced them towards the water. They hit the brakes short before they landed directly in it, only their shields touched it and forced the water to splash to the sides. ,,Yeah!!! Go, grandpa, go!!!" Sepia, Lion, Kakarott and Leo screamed, lifting their fists for the two. Father let his shield fade away and so did Vegeta, this was the final attack, I could see it in their faces. ,,HAAAAAA!!!!!" Vegeta screamed, I remembered that shout as his battle cry. He was dipped into golden light and blue thunderbolts, he had entered the mystical Saiyajin stage. ,,RAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" My father screamed too and transformed into a mystical Saiyajin. ,,FINAL...!!!!" Vegeta screamed even louder, loading his power to maximum. ,,KA...ME...HA...ME...!!!!!!" The blue ball formed in the cupped hands of my father. I knew this was his strongest Kamehame-ha without transforming. The longer he pulls the words away from each other, the stronger the Kamehame-ha gets and if he screams every two letters, he went over his limits. Even Vegeta took long to load, his hands were glowing bright, but he didn't look satisfied. Slowly I felt the different energies of Vegeta and my father. My father had to take his hands further apart, so that his ball could become bigger, but he pressed it together again, so that his energy beam would be faster. ,,...FLASH!!!!" Vegeta screamed at the top of his lungs and the golden beam emerged from his hands. I could see some veins pop out of his forehead and felt the immense power. I was sure, I wouldn't survive such an attack in normal form. ,,...HAAAAAA!!!!!" Father screamed and his blue beam rushed towards Vegetas'. ,,Long pulled 'ha', which means: Extreme and deadly power." Gohan noticed, as we all watched the beams rush towards each other. With a loud explosion, the beams collided, parting the water like Moses in the bible, only these two menaces did it with energy beams. Luckily, this was a private beach of the Capsule Corp. But other beach visitors must be already noticing the black thunder sky and the bright beam of light. And that really large tidal wave. ,,TSUNAMI!!!!!" Sepia laughed, as the water splashed over her. My mother, Bulma and Master Roshi had already fled into a glider and were hovering over the scene. The rest only floated if they didn't want to get wet. Trunks and I rushed over the tidal wave towards our fathers, we knew that they had used up all of their power. I saw how the beam of my father slowly pressed Vegetas' backwards, but then both led the beams to the sky and fell strongly breathing towards the water. Trunks and I caught them in last minute. ,,Aw man! When can we be as good as you?!" I asked, while I carried my father at his tail towards the beach. ,,That was fun!!! Can you do that again, grandpa?!!!" Kakarott laughed as we landed. ,,I think I need a rest...." Dad just commented and I slumped him into the sand. Trunks set his father next to mine: ,,Watch it..." ,,I am, dad." Trunks answered and let go of Vegetas' tail. Kakarott and Lion sat down in front of their grandfathers and discussed loudly about the fight. ,,My grandpa would have won if they didn't lead the beams to the sky!!!" Kakarott called, nose high and hands on his hips. ,,So?!! My grandpa is the king of your grandpa!!!!" Lion tried unsuccessful to defend his grandfather. ,,Yes, but Kakarott will stay stronger, always." Vegeta sighed and sat up: ,,Ah!" ,,Dad, do something!! I don't want that Kakarott is best!" Lion whined and pointed at his best friend Kakarott Jr. ,,Like what?" Trunks asked. ,,Beat up Lions' dad!!!" Lion answered with shining eyes and Kakarott Jr. sighed. He knew, so did I, that Trunks was better than me. ,,No Super." I quickly said, not wanting to blast Earth to nothingness. Dende would hate us for something like that. ,,Want to fight, Goten?" Trunks grinned, he was already sure to win. ,,Let us do this, this time! You men can fight later!! Ladies first!!" Ice shouted and leaped up, so did Cassie. Trunks and I got worried, we weren't married with them, but they were the mothers of our children. ,,Are you sure you want to do this?" Trunks asked unsure. ,,Yeah!" Ice answered: ,,So does Cassie!" ,,That's good!!!" Lion called, he knew his mom would win for him, I could see it in her face. The battle started quickly and I had almost forgot Ices' perfect movements. She moved like a leave in the wind, soundless and elegant. Trunks was proud of his girlfriend and lifted his nose, so were Sepia and Lion of their graceful mother. I couldn't be proud of Cassies' way of fighting, but I could be proud of her intelligence, which was better than Ices'. Ice disappeared and Cassie was kicked to the front, Ice stood behind her. Cassie flew to the front, but landed softly, even if I could hear her feet landing in the wet sand, it was a kind of squishing sound. Ice leaped backwards as Cassie attacked, not even leaving tracks and in the middle of a back flip, Ice kicked Cassie twice with each leg. ,,Ouch..." I closed my eyes, not wanting to see the battle, but I could feel the two women moving, so I could open my eyes. It wasn't so intensive like feeling. The eyes of my father rushed around as I saw back to him. He was sitting, only his eyes were moving, as if the girls were able to see for everybody. But my mother, Bulma and Master Roshi couldn't see a thing, they could only hear the fists and legs clashing together with other parts of the body. Soon Cassie appeared again, she was flying on her back into the sand. She slid a few meters, but then she laid there without even twitching. Ice also reappeared, she landed in the sand with crossed arms: ,,That was it." ,,Unbelievable, Ice! With only a punch!" Trunks called. ,,That wasn't only a punch, Trunks." My father got up, almost unharmed, only blood ran down his forehead: ,,That was a very good placed punch. She hit Cassies' liver with her fists one time, not very strong, but effective. I can still remember, using something like that. I punched a guy K.O. with three hits of my elbow into his liver. He didn't recover for a week. But that guy was around the one hundred with his power." ,,Oh, you mean Panputto?" Tenshinhan asked. ,,Yeah." My father answered. I ran over to Cassie and helped her up: ,,Thanks, Goten..." ,,That was great mom!!" Lion called, hugging his mother. ,,I hope I didn't punch too hard, Cassie." Ice looked rather worried, as if she hadn't wanted to hit Cassie like that. ,,No, it's just hurting a little, not too bad. You're still as silent as always." Cassie moaned and held her stomach. ,,Is really everything okay?" I really was worried, I never was so worried about her. Trunks would say: ,,I smell something sweet. Must be love." But he didn't, he had to free Ice from Lion first: ,,Oh, come on, Lion! Let your mother sit down!" ,,Okay!" Lion laughed and grabbed Trunks instead of Ice now, squeezing him joyfully. ,,Hey, don't kill me!" Trunks laughed and lifted Lion up. He swung him around and threw him into the water: ,,WAAHH!!!!" Trunks laughed joyfully and I grinned. Father and son. It was something new to see Trunks as caring father, but I think he was so caring because his father hardly had cared about him years ago. Lion rushed at Trunks again, this time, he threw Trunks laughing into the sand. They punched each other playfully and now Sepia leaped onto her brother and father. That gave Serene and Irene the idea to leap at their dad too, who also took it playfully. I let Cassie down and stood a little further away, I knew that my two kids were going to leap at me. Correct. They threw me face first into the sand and started to tickle me. ,,Hey... HEY!!!!" I laughed and grabbed onto my back. I caught both tails and threw the two into the sand, this time, I was the one tickling them. ,,Grandpa... GRANDPA!!!!!" Kakarott laughed loudly with Leo. One thing I hadn't expected, my dad coming to save his grandchildren. Pan also came into the game and leaped onto dads back, while he carried me at my angles and swung me around: ,,DAD!!!!" Before I knew what was going on, I slammed into Gohan: ,,Ouch..." The area around me was turning around me quickly. Cassie laughed loudly at the sight of me, swinging around like drunk. Now, as I regained my senses, I stormed at my father and threw him with Kakarott, Leo and Pan into the sand. ,,Five against one isn't fair!!!" Dad laughed. ,,Six against one, dad!" Gohan also joined in, we hadn't had so much fun with our father since years. ,,Daddy!!!" Bra shouted and I looked up. She swung around Vegetas' neck and made him drop back into the sand: ,,BRA!" He looked angry, but his voice told us all that he wasn't. He couldn't be angry at Bra, not if she looked at him with big teddy bear eyes. ,,Stop it!!!" Dad laughed, trying to get rid of all of us. He didn't. ,,Why do we fathers have the largest trouble with the kids...?" Vegeta moaned, Bra was sitting on his back, holding his arms: ,,I won!" ,,Don't know, Vegeta." Dad answered. Leo, Kakarott and Pan were sitting on him, while Gohan and I tickled him. He started to laugh and Leo, Kakarott and Pan were riding on him. ,,Help... me..." I heard Trunks moan, his two kids had tied him against a palm tree and were using him as punching bag. Of course, they only played around. That made Kakarott and Leo leap of their grandfather and onto me: ,,NOOO!!!!!" Joey was already tiring out, he was lying flat on his stomach and his two girls were digging a hole, large enough to put him in. Kakarott had quickly dug a deep hole and Leo slumped me inside, only my head looked out: ,,Help..." Now I was stuck alright and only my two boys would let me out. ,,It's a fun day, this Sunday." Trunks sang, he was stuck, like me, in the sand next to me. I tuned in, so did my dad, who was opposite to me. Vegeta just looked grim, he was opposite Trunks in the exact situation. Joey was also next to me and Gohan was about to be stuck next to my father. Joey sang along too and so did Gohan as he finally was stuck:
It's a Sunday afternoon and the sun is bright,
not a cloud to see, at the blue, blue sky.(Blue, blue sky.)
I'm sitting here with my best friends,
having fun, fun, fun and this day won't take an end. (No end in sight)
(Chorus)
It's a fun ,fun day
this Sunday.
And nothing can disturb our pleasure.
It's the greatest treasure, this
fun day, this Sunday.
We're going along the streets,
just you and me.(you and me)
Having fun, fun, fun and fun again.
Talking, laughing and joking around,
Singing (singing):
(Chorus X 2)
JJ
Goofy song, I know, but it fits, doesn't it? And it's really fun, fun, fun and fun again, to sing this song. And the Copyrights? MINE!! Maybe I will write more songs into the story; it makes the story more active. Back to the happenings in the Dragonball world:
JJ
,,So, this fun day needs an end, kids." Vegeta growled. I still was speechless. He had sang along, even if he was out of tune, but at the last two parts, he was perfect! ,,I didn't know you could sing, Vegeta." Bulma laughed, holding her stomach. ,,Nice song you composed there! (Those untalented guys?!! I'm the one born with that talent, not them!! That's MINE!!!)" Ice noticed, laughing too. The kids had also tuned in after the first chorus. I must say, the White Saiyajins had nice voices, even Kakarott. If you compare his voice with the one of my dad, you could say: They're miles apart. Well, my dad isn't a born singer, he's a born warrior. The thought fell. Warriors, fights, power and the will to win. ,,I think we should go now. Get your dads out, kids." Mia said, still giggling and Joey frowned: ,,This isn't fair, why do we guys always have to play off with the kids?" We were freed quickly and wanted revenge, but we decided to do it another time. The year has almost passed. Only one week was left, until the second wave arrived.
Chapter 34
Ice (count her age yourself, I lost track)
(Sorry, if I'm having unfriendly comments, I had a bad day. (Because of my darn Latin teacher, doing things so boring and blaming me for sleeping)) L
We had a meeting, we, the Z group, at Capsule Corp. The last week of waiting has passed and now we were waiting anxiously for the second wave of D-Saiyajins to arrive. Just an hour ago, the kids were still playing, but as Goku started to walk up and down impatiently, they stopped and waited, without loosing a single word. It was scary seeing children like that, but they were born warriors, just like every one of us, so it was just a habit. Goku walked up and down in front of Vegeta, who started to get annoyed: ,,Stop walking up and down, baka!!" He sure had a bad mood today, must be because the D-Saiyajins took so long. Goku suddenly stopped dead in his tracks: ,,I sense something moving towards Earth from space... Two hundred, not very strong, beings. It's the second wave." We all became very attentive now and reached out with our senses. Goku was right, THEY are here. They had already landed in the southern capital, not far from position of sky palace. ,,Hey, wait a sec. They can't just land there without the permission of god. We should give them a ticket, don't you think? (dumb joke, isn't it?)" Vegeta asked and formed his hands to fists. ,,The last one there is the weakest!!!" Goten called and rushed out. We all ran after him quickly and flew towards the southern capital.
Why do those silly D-Saiyajins go there, where they shouldn't? Most probably, because after they defeated us, they would disintegrate the whole planet, that's why. That just shows how sure those guys are and that gives me a numb feeling. Maybe because I'm worried about Trunks, Sepia and Lion, but it also could be that I wasn't so sure like the D-Saiyajins. No, it wasn't only that. Something will happen, I just know it.
We landed on some buildings, looking out for white hair or other odd things, which competed with our odds.
We all were odd to 'normal humans'. First, we had two guys who looked like twins, but weren't, instead they were grandfather and grandson. Then we all had tails, some of us wings and the one or the other spiky black hair that stands off to all sides. We also had odd hair colors. Like Trunks, Sepia, Lion and me, family odd, that's what that was. Trunks and Sepia with light purple hair and Lion and me with dark purple hair. At least both were purple. Then we had my, I hope, sooner sister-in-law. Trunks had already told me that Bra would like me as her sister-in-law and the fact that we were the parents of the same children made it more obvious. Oh no, here I go again, thinking of my children and Trunks. As mother and girlfriend, I didn't have a choice. Of course, I wouldn't overdo it like Chichi or Bulma. Hm... Trunks comes a little after his mother, he didn't marry me yet, but still he has two children with me. I never thought to compare them, but they were so different from character, so I didn't think of it. WHAT WAS THAT?!!
As I was lost in my thoughts, something had exploded. A whole building came crashing down onto the crowd beneath us. ,,Man, what are those guys doing?!!" Kakarott asked, shielding his face from flying debris and other things with his arms. ,,Ice, get away from there!!" I heard Trunks shouting, then the ground beneath me started to rumble. Before I could react, something grabbed me tight and landed on another building. I recognized the grip and looked up into Trunks' worried face: ,,Everything alright?" ,,Yeah, thanks to you." I thanked and he let me go. I was pale from shock, I knew it, because as I looked into a puddle of water in front of me, I saw a person with almost white skin and large saucer eyes. ,,Mom!!!" Sepia and Lion landed: ,,Everything okay?" ,,Yes. What actually happened?" I asked: ,,I was daydreaming, I don't know why." ,,The D-Saiyajins were wearing capes and hats, that's why we couldn't see them, then they attacked Bra, Pan and you, mom." Lion answered, looking up to me with the same eyes as his father. ,,Isn't that cute? The whole family together, ready for capture. Let's play Super Angel, Rage Saiyajin and White Saiyajin hunter." A D-Saiyajin laughed as he appeared in front of us. ,,I don't know why you're laughing about your own death sentence!!" Trunks shouted and chi blasted the D-Saiyajin. ,,Cool move, dad." Lion grinned and leaped down. ,,Watch out!!" I called after him and flew with Sepia to a group of D-Saiyajins: ,,Trunks! Go with Lion!!" ,,Alright!!" Trunks answered and leaped after our son. This battle wasn't so dangerous as the last one, now we knew the strategy of the D-Saiyajins, that's how we blasted them to hell quickly, without harming many spectators. I was just slicing off the head of a D-Saiyajin, when I heard two battle cries. ,,HAAAAAAA!!!!" ,,RAAAAAAHH!!!" I recognized them as the ones of Vegeta and Goku and turned to the way from where I heard them. They were standing back to back in a circle of D-Saiyajins, some of the last ones. Everybody was rushing to them to help, but they didn't look like they needed any. But somehow, everybody must have felt the same numb feeling as me. Something bad was going to happen, we all knew it and I was sure that Goku and Vegeta did too. ,,If you're going to kill us, you're coming along!!!" A D-Saiyajin cried (If anyone wants to know, it's: Potaito). He grabbed into his pocket and pulled out a small device. Vegetas and Gokus' eyes went big as they saw it. ,,A bomb!!!!" Bra screamed: ,,With the power of at least five thousand D-Saiyajins of the first wave!!!" Goku lifted his arm and tried to blast the D-Saiyajin, but the D-Saiyajin already pressed the knob of the device. ,,NO!!!!" Vegeta screamed and formed a large ball around his body, a protection shield, so did Goku. There was a loud explosion, in which we all were whirled backwards into different buildings. The light was blinding and even if it was only a bomb, it was enough to weaken me terribly. I only saw how Goku and Vegeta were whirled, still in protection shields, towards space. Then I smashed into a building and had to close my eyes to protect them. The sound of the explosion echoed in the now dead city. I was still lying in the crater I had created, too weak to move and I was stuck. My body was lying under an entire building and I was so weak, that I couldn't free myself out of a pile of stones and dead bodies. ,,Help..." I winced. ,,Ice, hold on." I heard Trunks, his voice calmed me down. ,,Help me out. I'm stuck and too weak..." I felt how tears ran down my face, the pain was terrible. Stones rumbled, then a small ray of light shone in my face. It was gone and I saw a person bending over the hole: ,,I'm getting you out, tell me if something is going to drop onto you." It was Trunks. ,,Please hurry, Trunks..." I cried. I never felt so weak in my entire life. The stones rumbled more and slowly more light flooded the cave like broken building. Then Trunks landed next to me, he turned towards me and became paler than he already was. He looked terrible, his hair was covered with dust and blood ran down his entire body. He lifted the stone I was under and threw it aside. ,,Oh god..." Trunks only brought out, but then he leaned over me and picked me up. I gritted my teeth, it hurt terribly. ,,Sorry." Trunks whispered. ,,About what?" I asked quietly, I couldn't speak any louder. ,,That it had to hurt and that I couldn't protect you." Trunks explained, he didn't dare to look at me. ,,It's okay. That thing was enough to distract you, wherever you would have been. I'm even happy that you didn't protect me. Who knows what could have happened to you." I said and tried to move my arm, but it was broken. Trunks leaped into the light, where I saw how much destruction the bomb had caused. Everybody was wounded in a kind of way and I started to worry: ,,How are Sepia and Lion...?" ,,They're still in an okay condition. Sepia has just got a small wound, just like Lion, Serene and Irene. I don't know how he did it, but Goten managed to save them from further damage. He got out just like you and I think it's getting worse. Kakarott could save Cassie, Mia and Joey, don't ask me how. He must of blasted the ground before them and made them fly backwards. I managed to get Pan and Bra out of trouble. Gohan saved Piccolo, who was totally shocked. But I don't know what happened to dad and Goku..." Trunks lowered his head, looking at me sadly. ,,I saw them. They were still in protection shields and got blasted into space. I don't know what happened after that, I landed in the building short after." I explained. ,,Good to know that they're unharmed. Let's get to the others." Trunks leaped down the destroyed building and I saw terrible things. It was horrible, I couldn't stand it. Cassie was kneeling next to Goten and held his hand, he had his eyes closed and was breathing heavy. His right arm was broken and he way lying in a puddle of his own blood. Gohans' back was blood soaked, he was lying on his stomach and Pan was trying to help him out. And Kakarott was in the same condition as his father. Blood soaked and his brother was trying desperately to keep him conscious. ,,Oh my god..." I brought out and Trunks put me down near Goten. I looked away from them, I didn't want to remember this terrible day. Then I saw Trunks. He was in a worse condition than I thought he would be. He sat down tired and weakened next to me. His breathing was as if he was coughing and his shoulders lifted as he inhaled shortly. He too was blood soaked and looked like it had cost him the last of his power to get me out. ,,Trunks..." Tears ran down my face faster: ,,...stay conscious..." He nodded without answering and looking up. ,,Mom!! Dad!!!" Sepia and Lion ran over to us, I could hear their small feet touch the ground lightly like mine in battle. Lion was just in time to catch his tired father from dropping onto the floor: ,,Dad!! Please answer!! Nod or say something, but do it!!" Lions' face was totally wet, he was crying. ,,Brother!!!" Bra shouted and also knelt down next to Trunks: ,,Take care of your mother, Lion. I'll take care of Trunks." Bra told Lion and he nodded unwillingly. He didn't want to leave his father like that, but he also wanted to help me as it seemed. ,,Mom... mom..." Sepia stroked my hair softly, her eyes were red and her face tear-filled. ,,Sepia...Lion..." I whispered as Lion knelt next to his sister. I closed my eyes. ,,Don't close your eyes, mommy!!! I don't want to see you like that!!! I don't want to see you like dying!!!" Sepia screamed and I opened my eyes again, I didn't want her to cry: ,,Don't cry, dear. I'm not dying, I'm only very weak. I just don't want to see everybody in such terrible conditions... I don't want to remember all this..." I tried not to cry in front of my children, but as I blinked, tears rolled down. Lion was pale, he couldn't bring out a word, but then slowly, he regained his speech: ,,Mommy, are you really not going to die?" ,,No. I will hold through until help comes. I'm sure, one of the others will come to help us out." I answered. ,,Is daddy going to die?" Lion asked, now, he and his sister were normal children. They said mommy and daddy, were worried and helpless. It was strange to see children, who are strong enough to destroy the whole planet, so helpless. ,,I'm sure he won't, Lion. Why did he want to look for me, even if he was so weak?" I asked them. ,,He said we all should take care of the others and even pushed aunt Bra away as she wanted him to sit down. We don't know why he wanted to find you, mommy. He wanted to, we couldn't do a thing... and now he's getting weaker!!!" Sepia cried and fell around my neck.
Oh, Trunks, my little baka. Why do you always get into trouble because of your pig head? And especially then, when you shouldn't?
Lion was now sitting on the other side of me, also hugging and crying. I tried to lay my hands on their heads, but I couldn't: ,,Please stop crying..." I felt how Lion lifted his head: ,,Mommy... grandpa... he's gone with Goku..." ,,Don't worry about them, they're okay. I saw it. They're going to come back as soon as they can." I explained: ,,Now, listen. I want you to look for the others like Krillin or Yamchua. They will surely have Senzu beans." ,,They're here, mommy!!!!" Sepia squeaked happily and ran away. She came back with two Senzu beans. She looked fit again, she had eaten one already and now she gave me one. My bones returned into their place and I sat up: ,,Thank you, now hurry and give one your dad." ,,Lion gave me one already." Trunks leaned over me. ,,TRUNKS!!!" I screamed in hugged him that he nearly fell: ,,Hey!!" ,,You're such an idiot..." I cried into his breast. ,,Huh?" Trunks wondered. ,,Why the hell did you look for me in that condition?!!" I shouted through my sobs: ,,You could have killed yourself!!" ,,At least we are all healthy again, Ice." Bra sighed happily. ,,Don't do that ever again!!" I called, hammering my fists against Trunks' chest. He grabbed them and leaned down to face me: ,,Calm down, Ice. It's okay now." ,,And then she tells us not to cry." Lion laughed. ,,Your mom is getting as hysterical as mine." I heard Goten laugh. ,,Please no!!!" Trunks called. I stopped sobbing and looked up to him: ,,Am I really?" Trunks grinned and wiped my cheeks: ,,No, Goten is just playing idiot again." ,,And YOU!!!" I turned to Goten: ,,You scared the hell out of me in your condition!!! Make sure to watch yourself next time!!!" ,,Ice, why the hell do you always have to play the big mother of all of us?" Goten sighed and hugged me. Everybody started to laugh, only I didn't. I was still sobbing. ,,Because she's Ice." Trunks hugged me from the back and kissed my cheek. Then I smiled.
Chapter 35
Goku
What the hell happened?!
The last thing I remember, was getting into a large explosion and getting whirled towards space, but that was all. As I busted out of the atmosphere, I went out cold, because of screaming and finding no air to keep my blood at work. Now I was lying on a large rock and just a few meters away was Vegeta, with the same look as me. I could see in his face that he was asking himself the same as I did: Where in this stupid universe were we?
,,So, Kakarott, any idea where we are?" Vegeta asked. ,,If I would say it your way, I would say: Don't ask me stupid questions when you know I can't answer, idiot." I answered and stood up. ,,Say that again!!" Vegeta shouted. ,,I said I would say it the way you would, Vegeta." I reminded him and he calmed down: ,,You were right. So, know we're stuck at the ass of the universe, without any transport or even an idea where the hell we are." ,,One thing you should hope Vegeta." I noticed and looked around. ,,What?" Vegeta asked. ,,That we're not on that party planet on which I drank twenty bottles of petrol." I answered. The planet was totally blue, it was only having water on its surface and only a few rocks looked out of it. Vegeta and I could call us lucky for landing on one of these few. ,,You were the last one in space, you should know better, Kakarott, so... GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!" Vegeta screamed. ,,Shut up, Vegeta!! I have to think!!" I hissed and turned around my own axe: ,,Let's see if this place is inhabited." ,,And how do you think to find out?" Vegeta asked annoyed. ,,I know you don't like me, but I think we have to start cooperating instead of beating each other up. Anyway, we could sense presences of others." I explained and reached out with my senses. ,,Not very strong, but a high amount. About ten million." Vegeta guessed: ,,Now what, Mr. Brainy?" ,,I never felt this energy. Time to ask a man who knows more than us both together." I answered and grabbed into my pocket. I pulled out a chain and hung it around my neck. ,,And what do you plan to do?" Vegeta asked and crossed his arms. ,,Wait and see." I answered and formed a kind of ball around the amulet. It started to glow and float, so did I and I closed my eyes. ,,Father... father... can you hear me?" I thought. ,,What the...?!!" Vegeta called. I felt how another presence came onto the planet and opened my eyes. There he stood, my father Bardock: ,,You called?" ,,Yes. I'm sure you watched the past happenings, right?" I asked him. My father nodded. ,,Where the hell are we and how can we get back on time?" I asked. ,,I just hope you have more luck here than on Earth, Kakarott. You're on Atlantis, home of the Quellion, water creatures who are very advanced. They will only help you out if you get them in a good mood or else you won't get off this planet. This time, you really need luck, even if Vegeta thinks a good warrior doesn't." Father explained and nodded towards Vegeta. ,,Thanks." I thanked. ,,Good luck, my son." My father disappeared again and I tucked away the amulet. ,,What the hell did you just do?!!" Vegeta asked. ,,Talk to my father. I don't know how, but I can communicate with him through this amulet. Well then, let's try our luck. Atlantis... I heard of that one before. You have to call a magical password, then you can get to the city underwater. I think I know the password..." I answered and pulled up my legs to think while floating. It was kind of a habit of me to float and think: ,,'Waters of the deep' or something... 'Waters of the deep, you who buried... who buried ships and cities beneath you like stones the sand... show your secret beneath and let it arise again.' THAT'S IT!!!" I leaped up and stood up straight: ,,Kind of goofy, but here it goes: Waters of the deep, you who buried ships and cities beneath you like stones the sand. Show your secret beneath and let it arise again!" Suddenly the ground rumbled, the sky became black and thunderbolts flew. ,,I am the god of Quellion! What do you want, stranger?!" A figure arose out of the water. It had no nose, yellow eyes and blue skin. A Quellion and an extreme large one to it. ,,We landed here on your planet and seek a way home!" I answered, I tried not to say: 'We got blasted here and want to go home'. I was sure, that sentence would of made that guy angry. ,,You have spoken the spell, but now it is up to you if you want to enter." With that, the figure disappeared again. ,,Great Kakarott. You got the god, but you didn't get the way in." Vegeta teased. ,,Shut up and let me think." I hissed again, this was really devastating.
First, I have to say a goofy spell and then I talk in a goofy way, then this guy let's a goofy riddle with us. Great. We land on a goofy planet, with goofy guys and goofy ideas. Did I mention the ideas were goofy?
,,I hate riddles." I thought loudly and decided to do it MY way. But before I could do a thing, Vegeta said: ,,How about swimming down, stupid?" With that he leaped up and was about to crash into the water, but just as he touched it, it turned to stone. ,,Ah..." Vegeta moaned as I pulled him back onto dry land: ,,I hope you're satisfied, KING Vegeta." He was king alright, king of idiots. Power doesn't help much against brains, I think he got that now. I slumped him against a stone and decided to try myself. If these guys like mystic things, they'll like this. I transformed into a Super Saiyajin and the wind blew around me, causing the water to blow away. I stepped into the water, but it turned to stone again. ,,Nice try, stranger. We do love mystic things, but the Super Saiyajin is well known. We find knowledge of old tribes quickly and make use of it." The voice of the god toned. I transformed into Super Saiyajin two, no use either. Mystic Saiyajin didn't help much, so did the third Super Saiyajin. ,,Remember... remember..." I told myself. I was trying to remember things I did on Vegeta, before it was destroyed and I landed on Earth.
Did I do anything strange, special or really fascinating? Nope, I didn't. I killed for food, like every other kid of the under class and was weak. Weak? I was the strongest of all in the under class. Another thing for what I was famous, was my really bad temper. If I didn't get it, I screamed and fought until I did. Maybe I should try that. Bad idea. Most probably, the Quellion will get a bad mood.
I sighed and stepped into the water, again it turned to stone. I walked further until I found a nice place to think, far away from Vegetas' idiotic comments. I looked down at the gray rock and it was like looking into a mirror! I saw myself, how I stood on the stone. So the water, which had become to stone, had remained some of its elements. I noticed I wasn't concentrated and totally overfilled with thoughts. 'Become a stone' I recalled. It was like in another time, another life, where I had heard that sentence from Mr. Popo in sky palace. I emptied my heart and soul, easier than years ago. The wind, that was blowing, stopped, as if the wind was peaceful with me. I felt Vegeta a few meters behind me, then it started to become warm. I looked down at my feet and nearly leaped if I wasn't trapped. There was a ring of fire, going around me like I had stepped into a circle and someone had set it on fire.
'Why are you always so wild, Kakarott? Can't you calm down at least once?' The voice of my mother toned in my head. 'Stop behaving like fire, you're a person, not an element.' Strange. She had said I was like fire. I had asked why I was like the fire, then she had smiled and answered: 'Wild, uncontrollable and dangerous, but also warm, friendly and helpful.' Hm... I wonder what she had meant with wild, uncontrollable and dangerous, I couldn't harm anyone if I wasn't forced to. My mother had been strange, really. She said Radditz was like the thunder, angry, loud and dangerous and my father like the wind, wild, peaceful, but also dangerous. And my mother had called herself like the water. Sometimes quiet and nice, but combined with the wind, dangerous and wild.
I opened my eyes and looked up to the front. The god of the Quellion had appeared again: ,,Fire? How? Fire can't exist here, because water extinguishes it!!" The ring of fire was still around me, I really didn't understand from where it had come from. ,,Hey, Kakarott, can you teach me that?" Vegeta asked and I turned around: ,,I don't even know how it got here!" ,,You are a rare boy, sonny." A old voice toned and I turned to the person to who it belonged. A very old looking Quellion stood there, with a walking stick and a bent back. He had a fin as tail and another fin on his head. He didn't have ears and a nose, no lips either, only a line that seemed to be the opening to his mouth. ,,What do you mean?" I asked, the fire extinguished. ,,You have the ability to show your personality in an element, in your case the fire. Wild, uncontrollable and dangerous, but also warm, friendly and helpful. Am I right?" The Quellion asked: ,,People like you are rare in new times. Hundred years ago, every newborn child showed it's element right after birth. Some were only terrible like thunder, others only calm like the earth and there was another type, the ones that were both, like fire, water, wind and animals. Mostly, these were the ones who were born as warriors and were the best of their type. I haven't seen an element warrior since I was young, come to speak of a fire element warrior. I haven't met one in my entire life. The fire element warriors are very rare, but then, mostly the most powerful and wisest of all. Seldom you will see another element warrior win over them, not even water element warriors could hold up against them, because they only became warriors when they fight with wind element warriors, who also only fight with storm element warriors. And the storm element warriors are only able when thunder and weather warriors come together. That means, you need every single element to fight up against a fire element warrior. But fire element warriors are nice persons, only wild when people try to extinguish them. I was an element fighter myself, I stood in the element of the water. Watch what you could do, when you learn it." The man said and then he turned into a puddle of water. I was shocked and astounded at the same time. He became normal again: ,,Every element has a favorite companion. I see yours is right behind you already. Ah... the mixture type. Storm and water, nice combination. Create storm to make the water wild, together, they can make fire uncontrollable. Your faces tell me that you didn't know a thing about these things. Well, an element fighters special talents come to appearance at a special time. Like the one of you, my boy, you have calmed and were a little furious at the same time, that's when your element awakened. I think I know a way to make you to the perfect pair of warriors. First, we have to get the elements of this guy to your standard." The man turned to Vegeta. ,,I'm his standard since I was born, old man!!!" Vegeta screamed. ,,Yes, become angry, so angry that the water can't find any peace anymore." The man whispered. (Small interruption: I don't know how I came to element warriors, but I thought it would be nice to have Goku and Vegeta as fighter pair, instead of rivals the whole time. They look quite nice as friends.) I felt how my body tensed, something was getting me angry. ,,Come on, ape. Become more angry." The man teased, that blew the last fuse of Vegeta: ,,SAY THAT AGAIN, FISH!!!" Thunder growled above and wind blew strongly. The Quellion started to laugh: ,,Now, let's see the reaction of your friend." He looked over to me, but I didn't care. I had more trouble to control my temper than ever: ,,I'm okay, there's nothing around here that could get me angry. I'm okay. I'm okay." I repeated and repeated, but it was no use, my anger was rising fast. Then it started to rain, the last thing I needed. ,,Let your anger go, boy." The Quellion said, then I slowly loosened. I calmed down again. ,,No! Hey, think of storm, large storms. Trust me and do it!" The Quellion called hysterically. I didn't know why the hell he's doing all this trouble with Vegeta and me, but he's sure making it important. I looked at Vegeta, he just twitched with his shoulders and seemed to be doing what the man wanted. ,,Now, you let your anger go. Then you will become even stronger and better than before." The Quellion explained and that was enough to motivate Vegeta and me. We wanted to be better and stronger, in which way we had to get it wasn't important. The storm above us grew and slowly my anger rose again. Who knows why. ,,GRR!!!!" I growled and looked upwards. ,,HA!!" I screamed, so did Vegeta. We both did the same at the same time. I felt how my power rose and a small fire was in front of me. It took the form of an upper arm long snake. ,,Yeah!! At last I'm back to business!!" A voice screeched and a small, red dragon evolved from the fire. My eyebrow twitched, that animal was real small and weak and I was wondering why it was here. ,,Hi, boss! I'm Drake the fire dragon, at your service!!" Drake bowed. ,,Goku or Kakarott." I answered and looked over to Vegeta. His power was high too and he also had a small dragon in front of him. His was black, shimmering blue and had some golden lines, which looked like thunderbolts: ,,I'm Draconica the storm and wind dragon and ready to serve and teach my master." ,,Ah, there. Now you have your element dragon. They always help out and they will teach you, until you reach the final stage. That is the time, where you become your personal uniform and weapon. They are also good for flying. They grow and then you can fly on them and they can bring you to any planet you want. Now, leave and learn." The Quellion disappeared in a puddle of water. ,,What's your name?" Draconica asked Vegeta. ,,Vegeta." Vegeta growled and crossed his arms. ,,That attitude, young man, isn't good for you!!!" Draconica leaped onto his chest and pointed at him. ,,Watch it, Vegeta. Draconica can get very dangerous." Drake explained, grinning: ,,So how shall I call you, chum? Kakarott or Goku?" He pulled at my pants: ,,And how old are you anyways? Twenty or something, right?" ,,Call me how you like, Vegeta is the only one calling me Kakarott. I'm fifty-one." I answered and Drakes' jaw dropped open: ,,Fifty-one?!! You look like a teen! What medicine do you use?!" ,,None." I answered, this dragon was really strange. Little did I know, that he was a good friend.
Chapter 36
Drake, 1000 years old (And he says Goku was old)
Fifty-one, no medicine and still with the looks of a twenty-year-old?!! That guy must be kidding me!
,,Are you telling the truth...?" I asked Goku. ,,Yeah, believe me. Can I ask you something?" Goku asked. ,,As my master, but also student, you can." I answered, this guy was really strange. ,,What the hell was that old guy talking about?" Goku asked and I nearly fell: ,,We've got a long way to go... ALRIGHT, GOKU!!! Listen up! You are a warrior, chosen to be strong and one of the greatest of your generation! You've got a lot to learn, but I can see that you will become greater than the strongest in the universe!!" Goku had a real large sweat drop on his forehead: ,,First: I am born as warrior. Second: I am the greatest of my generation, how others say. Third: I am the strongest of the universe, how others say." Ups. I sure got a hard one. One of the greatest warriors. I should have read that update in my mail yesterday. Time to freshen up. I spit fire and a small desktop appeared. Goku pulled up his eyebrows: ,,What's that for?" ,,I'm checking the updates of element warriors and other famous guys. Kaioshin always gives us info about the greatest warriors of the universe and... HOLY COW!!!" I became real pale. I had found Gokus' name in the registration, but I hadn't expected a four page long list! Reborn state of the legendary Kakarott. Son of Bardock. Member of the Earth Z group and strongest of the universe. That guy got some good titles there. I sighed and printed out his data: ,,Do you have anything to add to this?" I handed him the four pages. He looked at them: ,,No, only things I would love to take out." ,,Oh, you mean like: One of the most naïve guys?" I asked and grinned. ,,Exactly." Goku nodded and gave back the papers. ,,Died two times excluding the time against the D-Saiyajins, very interesting. Last..." I became real pale: ,,One of the last... Saiyajins...?" I stared at my new student and master. He looked like a Saiyajin, but his behavior didn't come near to a Saiyajin.
He was friendly, nice and honest, I never thought to meet a guy with such an attitude, who is one of the most popular Saiyajins. I should have noticed it at his name, Kakarott. His tail, his hair, everything fitted together, even the fact that he looked like twenty years old. Son of Bardock. I met Bardock before and he was real proud of his son. Now I knew why. Through this guy, if he makes it to the final stage, I will be able to become a real dragon, because his famous name will carry mine with it. I think I'm going to like him.
,,So, Goku... you have quite a good reputation, how I see. Doesn't change your lessons. Here." I spit fire again, a thick book dropped onto Gokus' head. ,,OUCH!!" He called and picked it up. I snipped with my finger and my desktop disappeared, I kept Gokus' 'hall of fame' I mean: Hall of names. ,,Fire element warrior book one?" Goku asked as he read the title: ,,What shall I do with this thing? Anyway, I don't have much time, I've got to get to Earth in a year, to help out my friends and family." ,,Oh, you'll get through in a day with that book, then you'll have lesson two, three, four, until ten. Lesson ten is the last and hardest, to each lesson you have a test. If you make it through, you become stronger, faster and can learn new element attacks." I explained. ,,What's so special about that?" Goku asked, holding up the book. ,,Easy: You can't die, not until fire stops existing and you're immune to it. And, if you learn lesson five, fusion, you can fuse with your partner, into a warrior, better than anyone else." I answered. ,,Then forget lesson five. I learned fusion already." Goku noticed and sat down in the air. He opened the book and started reading. ,,Cool. Potara or dance? Oh, I forgot. Potara can't break." I slapped against my forehead. ,,Potara can break, but I only made it because the smell was so terrible. You can look in that list." Goku explained, but he didn't look up: ,,This is interesting." ,,I don't get why I should want to become an element warrior!" Vegeta shouted at Draconica. ,,Because you become stronger, better and can life forever, under the condition, that your element doesn't stop existing!" Draconica answered as loud as Vegeta, even if she was ten times smaller. Draconica turned to me and her mouth fell open as she saw Goku sitting quietly and learning already: ,,How did you get him to do that?!" ,,I just gave him the book, answered all his questions and he opened it himself. Then he said it was interesting and started reading." I answered grinning. Draconica nodded and gave Vegeta his book, he flipped through the pages and stopped in the middle: ,,Hey, Kakarott has got a point there." He flipped to the start of the book and started reading too. I don't know why these two Saiyajins found lesson one, which was going totally to element transformation and teleportation, so interesting. Lesson one was the most boring one for other students.
Draconica and I had made a small fire and were waiting for our students to finish. ,,Ah, these Saiyajins are real strange guys, don't you think?" I asked her. Draconica nodded: ,,Real strange. My special subject in school was the different races of the universe, but in the test about Saiyajins, I got a six. I still don't understand how their bodies stay young at a high age. And, I never got their history right. (Bad, bad, Draconica. You have to know with Vegeta around*snicker*) Well, I think we will find out more about them the longer we know them." Draconica sighed and looked towards the setting sun. The golden parts of her skin shimmered beautifully and my own skin looked like it was out of fire. Draconica sat a little nearer and had a real dreamy look on her face. I grinned. Draconica and I were friends since nine hundred years and always got partners to work on. Since eight hundred years, we started getting closer. Suddenly the voice of Goku disturbed my thoughts about Draconica holding a small baby dragon that looked like me: ,,I hate to disturb you guys, but I'm finish with lesson one." ,,I hope you meant that honest, Goku." I hissed and stood up. ,,Sorry. But Vegeta and I have to get to Earth as fast as possible." Goku explained, the book in his hand disappeared, without me doing a thing. ,,How I see, you mastered the first lesson already. Well, here comes lesson two and here three and four, not that you come back again that fast." I whispered angrily and three books landed in his hands. Goku grinned: ,,You sounded like Vegeta. Well, thanks." With that, Goku went off again. Shit! Now I can't get back my nice dream, because of him. I decided to look over his shoulder for some time. I leaped after him and as he sat down, I leaped onto his shoulder and peeked with him into the book. ,,I thought you were having private talk?" Goku asked, without even looking at me. ,,Not since you busted in." I hissed. Goku started reading lesson two, about controlling his element. Not an easy task, if you ask me. But as he reached chapter ten, he made it to create a small fire in his palm. It had become night, but Goku kept on reading, unlike Vegeta, who had started sleeping with lesson two as pillow. ,,You should catch some sleep." I noticed and yawned, I myself needed some. ,,Since two years I hate sleeping." Goku answered and flipped over a page. ,,Why?" I asked. He closed the book and put it aside. I could feel in his aura that he was sad. ,,Hey, I didn't want to come to a theme you don't like to talk about..." I said. ,,No, it's okay. I'm just thinking. Since two years I started getting nightmares again. I dreamt about my fights, how I got killed and other things. But they always have a real bad ending, not like they had been and I wake up sweat bathed and can't sleep anymore. Especially how Vegeta was destroyed has burned into my memory. What I would give to forget all of it." Goku sighed a deep, sad sigh. ,,You know, how good a warrior is, he will never be able to forget terror, because he is born to do it or stop it. I read in your data that you had quite some adventures with young age. With two you already was confronted with death and you died the first time with twenty-four. Not a nice feeling, that's for sure, but... the more terror you see, the more it motivates you to go on. You don't want coming generations to see what you have seen. You don't want them to loose things you already lost in very young age. That's why you became so powerful and you know what?" I asked Goku and he turned his head to me: ,,What?" ,,I think you are worth more than you think you are. You think you're just a small Saiyajin, in the big wide universe, right?" I asked. Goku nodded. ,,But you didn't count that you have saved people in every kind of way and they're all thankful for what you have done. You won quite a lot of friends in this universe and life and friends are very important for everybody. Even for villains. Look at Vegeta, tell me, how do you think he feels about you? You saved his life, even if he nearly killed you. You motivated him to become stronger and helped him to find the right track." I explained. ,,Vegeta hates me for saving his life and being stronger. I think we're friends in the Saiyajin way. He doesn't admit it, but I do. I mean, we did the fusion and have fought in almost every battle together. He wouldn't have done it, even if he would want to fight and defeat me. How I know him, he would have surely traveled to space and come back when he thought he was strong enough to kill me. He wouldn't have stayed on Earth with Bulma and everybody." Goku said. ,,I didn't find much about your family in your data, I only know you're the son of Bardock." I noticed, flipping through the pages, again. ,,Most probably, because my sons have a special reputation of their own." Goku grinned. ,,Tell me something about them, I'm curious, you know." I said. ,,Okay. Ask something, I don't like to talk about things that don't interest anyone." Goku explained. ,,You only have sons, right?" I asked, Goku nodded: ,,Two. Gohan, already married and one daughter, Pan and Goten, not married, but having to boys, Kakarott and Leo." ,,Phew. That's a large family you got there. Any other relatives?" I asked. ,,Yeah, my brother Radditz, who died with me. He has a daughter, created by him and Bibidi, her name is Ice. She's the girlfriend of Trunks, Vegetas' son and eldest sprout. They have two kids, Sepia and Lion." Goku answered. ,,Cool. I would love to have such a large family like you." I noticed. ,,Your time will come, don't worry." Goku grinned a real strange grin, which I have never seen before. It was real crooked and showed his teeth.
In the following days, Goku told me about the D-Saiyajins and other things. We often talked in the night, where Draconica and Vegeta were sleeping. Goku and I built up a friendship and we told each other our adventures of the past years. Vegeta and Goku were becoming friendlier to each other after every day and I think they're becoming friends too. Only one thing didn't change as fast as the others: Draconicas' and my friendship.
Chapter 37
Chichi (I like her perspective, noticed?)
Where is he? And what was he doing out there so long? Was he still alive?
Question after question went through my mind and everyone was about Goku. Again I was longing for him. It had been four months ago, that he had disappeared with Vegeta.
Again I was sitting on his Nimbus, but this time I was humming a song.
He had sang it the day before the second wave of the D-Saiyajins had arrived. I had cried that day, feeling that something bad was going to happen. Nobody knew that I had cried, only Goku.
I liked the song, it fitted to my situation and gave me hope in a way. Gohan and everybody else of my family was trying to help me, but they all found that best was to leave me alone. This time, I wasn't alone, waiting. Bulma often sat on a bench, since she couldn't sit on Nimbus and I was wondering how she could miss a guy like Vegeta. But then she always asked me: ,,Why do you miss Goku?" Then I always stop bugging her with Vegeta and she goes in.
I was humming the melody of the song again and again and every time I cry. Sooner or later, I won't have any more tears to shed. This time, I decided to sing the text to the song, maybe it would calm me down more:
Have you ever asked yourself,
what love means?
Have you ever felt
the sadness of goodbye?
Whatever you have seen.
Whatever you have done.
I will stay with you, as long you...
(Chorus)
Don't shed your tears,
because of me
Don't stop, believing in you.
Don't shed your tears.
Love and hate have followed us,
like shadows.
Friends and fiends will guide,
forever.
Whoever belonged to them.
Whoever felt your fear.
I will stay with you, as long you...
(Chorus)
Don't shed your tears,
you will need them again,
but not for me.
Even if I'm not here,
with you,
I will be there
I will be there.
(Chorus)
Don't shed your tears,
because of me.
Don't stop believing,
in what you see.
Please don't...
Don't shed your tears.

First song I ever composed, nice, huh? Well, that's what my friends say. I know it's strange to hear that Goku has composed it (IN THE STORY!!!), but I found it romantic. I love stories about G/CC, don't ask me why. Back to the story:
JJ
This time, I didn't cry, as if the words were the ones calming me, not the melody. Now Bulma came out, she sat down on the bench next to me and sighed: ,,I wonder if they'll be back on time..." ,,I hope so." I said. ,,They will." A voice toned from the door and Bulma and I leaped up to see that it was Ice. ,,What makes you so sure?" Bulma wondered. ,,Because they won't let us down, they know that we need their help." Ice answered and smiled a smile only she could manage. ,,At least now I know why Trunks fell for you." Bulma noticed and Ice blushed lightly. ,,Why have you come out here?" I asked her. ,,Oh yeah!" Ice slapped her hand against her forehead: ,,I almost forgot. Goten and Cassie want to marry." I smiled, so did Bulma. ,,And Joey and Mia too." Ice added. ,,What about you and Trunks?" Bulma asked, she got the point she wanted to talk about, I saw it in her face. ,,What? Oh... well... uh..." Ice grinned crooked and scratched her head. ,,MOOOOMM!!!!" A voice toned from the top floor and we all looked up, since we all were mothers. Sepia was grinning wide and looking out of the window. ,,What's wrong?" Ice asked and shielded her eyes from the sun. ,,Dad wants to talk to you." Sepia answered, grinning even wider. I was sure to know what Trunks wanted to talk about. ,,Why?" Ice asked, she didn't understand why Sepia was grinning and why Trunks asked her to call Ice. ,,Dad said I can't tell." Sepia answered: ,,Just go to his old room." With that, Sepia pulled in her head and closed the window. ,,I wonder what he wants." Ice wondered and went in. ,,I think I can guess what he wants." I smiled. ,,What?" Bulma asked. ,,Wait and see." I answered. Kakarott and Leo hopped out and were teasing someone at the back: ,,We're becoming a real family!" ,,So what? We too!" Lion came out with his sister close behind. ,,Lion!! You shouldn't tell!!!" Sepia scolded and knocked his head from the back. ,,Ups..." Lion grinned. Kakarott suddenly became stern: ,,Isn't that...?" ,,What?" Sepia wondered and looked around, then, she too was surprised: ,,They..." ,,The D-Saiyajins?" Bulma asked in panic. ,,No..." I somehow knew what was going on: ,,Goku and Vegeta." ,,How do you know, grandma?" Leo asked with large eyes. ,,I... I don't know." I answered confused. ,,Chichi..." Gokus' voice toned in my head: ,,...Vegeta and I are about to reach Earth. We'll arrive in about five minutes in the garden of Capsule Corp." ,,Get everyone out here!" I called, not caring if Gokus' voice was an imagination or not. Soon, everybody was outside and Ice looked like she was the happiest girl in the universe. Suddenly the sky became black and thunder flew. The wind blew strongly, then suddenly, a thunderbolt hit right before us. A coughing emerged from the dust that was whirled up, then a small creature stepped out of it. It looked like a dragon, only in black and blue with golden stripes: ,,Attention please! Welcome back... Vegeta, master of the storms." The little creature stepped aside. ,,Your jokes are really dry, Draconica." Vegetas' grim voice toned and he stepped out of the cloud. He looked different. He wore the kind of t-shirt Goku would wear under his gi and a dark pants with a dark belt. His shoes were as always, white with golden tips and he wore gloves. He wore a jacket over his shirt, too: ,,Where the hell is Kakarott and his darn dragon?" ,,Excuse me, KING Vegeta! May I remind you, you were the one taking off earlier?!" A screeching voice toned and a small fire flamed up next to Vegeta. Another creature evolved from the element, this time a red one and a few parts of his skin shone orange or yellow, which made him look like fire: ,,He is strong, he is fast and he's Saiyajin... welcome back: Goku or GRBLMM!!!" ,,We know it, Drake." It was Goku. He held the mouth of the dragon closed: ,,Hi!" He too wore different clothes and they made him look much younger than he was. A long, white coat and, unlike Vegetas', brown gloves. He wore the same under his coat like Vegeta, only his shoes were the ones he always wore. He still was having his red cloth tied around his head. I didn't care about his looks, I just fell around his neck: ,,Goku!!" I started crying of happiness, seeing him still well and healthy. ,,It's okay, Chichi." Goku smiled and stroked my hair. ,,As I was saying: He is strong, he is fast and he's Saiyajin... welcome back: Goku or Kakarott, master of fire." The dragon finished his speech, but nobody listened. Everybody was hugging and shaking hands with the two lost warriors. After all was said and done, Gohan finally asked: ,,Who are those two creatures that were introducing you?" ,,Two good friends we first met on the planet Atlantis. The red dragon is mine, he's called Drake and the blue, black one Vegetas', her name's Draconica. They taught us some things on the way." Goku answered and Drake hopped onto his shoulder: ,,Nice to meet you all! After all Goku told me about you, I sure became curious and you're even cooler than I thought you would be." ,,Drake likes to talk." Goku grinned. ,,Shut up." Drake growled and spit fire and I gasped. But Goku was unharmed: ,,You know that, that only tickles." ,,Too bad." Drake crossed his arms. ,,How...?" I started. ,,Long story." Goku sighed and they started telling us about element warriors. So they didn't meet Draconica and Drake for nothing. I noticed that Goku and Vegeta were sometimes grinning at each other. Not evilly, actually friendly. I was astounded. Goku and Vegeta were rivals since years and now they turned out to have become closer friends than me and Bulma and that meant quite a lot. ,,Well, since you're all back and we are all together, we can brake the news!" Goten stood up. ,,We're becoming a real family!!!" Kakarott and Leo laughed and leaped onto the back of their father. ,,That was my speech..." Goten noticed dull. ,,Just say it again." Goku grinned. ,,I'm going to marry Cassie." Goten stood up straight again. ,,Congratulations!!" Krillin started, but then Joey stood up: ,,And I'm marrying Mia." ,,Hey, two marriages!" Yamchua grinned. ,,No, three." Trunks grinned wider than Goten and Joey together, because he was the only one who had kept the whole thing a secret until now. Ice had told Bulma and me already that Mia and Cassie were going to marry Joey and Goten. ,,I'm going to marry Ice!" Trunks said proudly. ,,Wow. The biggest troublemaker in the universe is having a wife and two children. Everybody applause!" Goten joked. Trunks frowned angrily at Goten: ,,I overheard that." Everybody started to laugh. We seemed like normal people in that moment, but I was happy that we were different from the other people on Earth.
