Dragon Ball Z2
Author's Notes:
This is a remake of Dragon Ball GT, set after Z (hence the 2 after Z).
Chapter #1:
A Re-introduction to the Warriors! The Calm Before the Storm!
Mount Paozu
Goku and Oob were fighting at full power, not letting up on one another. Goku fired a punch at Oob, his fist landing on his student's cheek. In response, Oob sent a kick flying into Goku's ribcage and then grabbed his master's arm, swinging the Saiyan around before sending him flying away in the opposite direction. They flew towards one another again, locked in a struggle of punches and kicks. The two then flew in the opposite direction and both fired a Kamehameha at each other. Their Kamehamehas collided, as Goku and Oob attempted to overpower one another. Suddenly, the beam struggle ended with an explosion of raw energy, neither Kamehameha able to overpower the other.
Goku and Oob landed in front of each other.
"Wow, Oob. You really didn't let up on me. Nice job!" Goku congratulated.
"Thanks, Goku. But I feel like I could've done better this time. I could barely get a hit in." Oob said.
"Oh, don't be so modest, Oob. You were great!"
"Heh. Y'know, it's hard to believe we've been training for five years now. I don't mean to sound cliche, but it feels like just yesterday I met you at the tournament. The time sure flew."
"Yeah. And you've just gotten that much stronger."
Chichi suddenly appeared from out of their house.
"Boys! Breakfast!" Chichi shouted.
"Oooh, I'm starving! Let's go, Oob!"
"Right." Oob said, nodding.
Goku and Oob sat down for breakfast. As usual, Goku chowed down on his food. Oob had adopted his master's habit and ate away at the meal himself.
"I know I've said this for the umpteenth time, but you don't have to eat so fast. The food's not going anywhere." Chichi said.
"Sorry, Miss Chichi." Oob apologized.
Chichi sighed. "Oh, I can't be mad at you, Oob. You're Goku's protege after all."
Goten suddenly appeared from out of the house.
"Well, I'm off!" Goten said.
"Where to?" Goku asked with a mouthful of food.
"School, Dad. Not all of us can just train our days away. No offense, guys."
"Have a good first day!" Chichi said.
"Thanks, Mom!"
Satan City - Midtown
Man, if I don't set it to high gear, I'll be late on my first day! Goten thought to himself as he drove his Capsule Corporation convertible across the busy street.
Orange Star University - Inside
I hope I'm not too late. Goten thought as he entered the university, hurrying to his class.
Goten entered the classroom he was assigned to. In his sight line was none other than his brother, Gohan, at the front of the class.
"G-G-Gohan!?" Goten exclaimed, shocked by his brother's appearance. "You're my teacher?!"
"Goten. I see you made it. And only forty-six minutes late." Gohan said, with a disappointed look on his face.
"Well, you see, I..."
"I'm not in the mood for excuses. Now, please, take your seat."
Goten was clearly put off by Gohan's stern attitude towards him, but he obliged and took his seat next to a brown-haired girl in a yellow dress.
Gohan immediately went back to his lesson, writing on the board.
"Hi there." The girl sitting next to Goten greeted.
"Oh, hi. What's up?" Gohan said.
"My name's Palace. What's yours?"
"Goten. Mind my manners, but I'm surprised someone as pretty as you goes to this school."
"Oh my...you're so forward." Palace said, blushing.
"Oh, sorry. I just can't help it. It's the truth after all-"
"Goten!" Gohan shouted. "Pay attention to the lesson!"
"Oh, s-sure..." Goten said.
He sure is taking this teacher thing seriously. Goten thought, annoyed.
West City - Downtown
Bra walked across the street with her boyfriend, her arm around his.
"So, what are you in the mood for? Dinner? A movie? Or-" Bra asked.
"A movie sounds good." Bra's boyfriend said.
"Good! Let's-"
Suddenly, gunshots sounded in the distance.
"What the-?" Bra's boyfriend said, startled.
"Gunshots?" Bra said.
On the other side of the street, the police had their hands full with a group of robbers firing at them. They had hostages.
"Let go of the hostages, surrender and come quietly now!" The policeman said.
"Hahaha! Eat lead, cops! We're not going down that easy!" The robber said, firing at the policemen.
The policemen took cover behind their vehicles.
"I'll take care of this!" Bra stated, flying toward the danger.
"W-W-W-What!?" Bra's boyfriend asked, surprised at her confidence.
Bra landed in front of the robbers.
"What? A girl?" One robber questioned.
"And here I was hoping for a normal day out. But you had to go and ruin it!" Bra announced angrily.
"Look, missy, just stay out of this and go play with your dolls!" One robber yelled, holding his gun up menacingly.
"Dolls? That's funny."
Bra rushed at the robbers, knocking them all out one-by-one, saving the hostages.
"Agh!" The robbers cried in pain from her hits, falling like dominoes.
The policemen and the hostages were in shock at Bra's actions.
"W-What...just...happened?" One of them said, still in disbelief.
Bra returned to her boyfriend.
"So, how about that movie?" Bra said, clasping her hands together, eyes closed with a smile on her face.
"Heheheheh..." Bra's boyfriend said in response, still shocked by what he had just witnessed.
Capsule Corporation - Gravity Room
Vegeta, as always, was training in the gravity chamber, training under two hundred times Earth's gravity. He was lifting weights.
Kakarot thinks he can train Oob to protect the peace? Nonsense! I'll show him who the real protector of Earth is! Vegeta thought to himself, lifting weights.
"Vegeta!" Bulma's voice sounded from the computer screen.
Vegeta grunted as he heard his wife's voice.
"What is it now, woman?" Vegeta asked, still lifting the weights.
"I just thought you'd want to see the face and hear the voice of your beautiful wife. And also, your son has that big speech today. Planning on going?" Bulma asked, arms folded.
"He doesn't need me there." Vegeta responded.
"For moral support, Mr. Trains 24/7? For once would it kill you to support your son?"
"I have important business to attend to."
"What? Training yourself to death? Just how long do you intend to stay in there anyway?" Bulma said, referring to the gravity room.
"As long as it takes...to surpass Kakarot! You may not understand this, Bulma. But a Saiyan's primary purpose in life is to become stronger. And I won't rest until I've shown Kakarot who the true defender of Earth is!"
"I swear. You Saiyans..."
West City - Capsule Corporation grounds
"Capsule Corporation's stock is higher than ever. And I plan to perpetuate that growth by continuing to support our employees, whom we owe so much to for the company's success." Trunks stated.
This earned him a clap from the crowd.
"So what new inventions does Capsule Corp have to boast?" A reporter asked.
"We have plenty of new inventions we're working on at the moment. But we'll save them for the Capsule Corp Expo next month. Well, that's all I have to say. Thank you for coming out, everyone and please, continue to support our company."
Lookout
Mr. Popo was doing some sweeping on the Lookout with Dende at his side.
"It certainly has been peaceful for quite some time, hasn't it, Dende?" Mr. Popo asked.
"You can say that again. I still can't believe we've had five whole years of complete, uninterrupted peace." Dende replied. "It makes me uneasy, just thinking about all the bad things that can happen."
Dende turned to the direction of the Room of Spirit and Time.
"It's been three days since Piccolo entered the Room. Three years." Dende noted.
"He's determined to keep the peace, so it's only natural that he'd want to keep up his strength as well."
"I guess you're right."
Wasteland
A ship was parked in the expanse of a wasteland. The ship door opened, revealing a grey being with bloodshot crimson eyes, who walked out and surveyed his surroundings.
"So, this is the planet called Earth." It said. "At last, after so long, the time has come for my sweet vengeance on the Saiyan race."
Author's Note: So, yeah, that's Chapter 1. I know, not much happened in this chapter. I'm a little rusty with the writing, since I haven't written a fanfic in so long, so please bear with me. I'll improve with time. I feel like I just need to get back into the swing of things. In my opinion, the first chapter is always the hardest to write, establishing/setting the characters and world and all. But anyway, please review and tell me your thoughts on the story. Thanks for reading.
