In the farthest reaches of the west, within five peaks known collectively as "the Devil's Hand", in a castle located in a dense forest, there was an extremely beautiful princess who is foretold to have been asleep for several millenia. However, she is guarded by a truly fearsome army of monsters and demons!...

Chapter One:

Return to Roshi's Island

It was a bright, sunny summer's day, and who else should be cruising along aboard the mystical Flying Nimbus cloud, but the plucky young Saiyan, Son Goku?

Flying alongside him were his older brother Raditz, and their mother, Gine. Many days had passed since their incredible journey to find the seven Dragon Balls, and since then, the trio had taken off in search of new adventures. After parting ways with Bulma and their friends, the Saiyan family returned to Goku and Raditz's home on Mount Paozu, so as to spend some time together as a family.

A few days afterward, the trio had resolved to head off to the Turtle Hermit's island so as to receive training from the old master. They had been flying for four hours, until they caught sight of a single pink house under a palm tree, with the red letters "KAME HOUSE" on the front side.

Goku's eyes widened with joy as the Nimbus cloud streaked down to the ground, and he hopped off. Raditz and Gine both landed on their feet, in the sand.

"Hey, Master Ro-shi! We're ba-ack!" Goku yelled.

Raditz began to ponder. "Now where, oh where, could he be?" he asked.

"Maybe he's inside," suggested Gine. "Let's head in and pay him a visit,"

"Smart thinking, mother," Raditz nodded, beaming visibly.

Inside Kame House, the owner and proprietor himself was in the middle of watching his daily workout show...although he wasn't exactly taking part in the workouts themselves. More like, he was busy ogling and drooling over the women on TV who were working out.

"Very ni~ce!" he giggled goofily to himself, as a thin line of saliva hung from his mouth and over his beard.

"Ready? Now spread those legs, girls!" chirruped the exercise lady as she and her students bent down and started doing toe-touches. "One-two, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2..."

Of course, Roshi's eyes were more focused on the women's shapely spandex-clad buttcheeks, and his eyes followed along, in a lusty haze.

And since he was so out of it, he didn't even notice the three Saiyans standing nearby. "Hey there!" said Goku.

"Up and at 'em, old man!" Raditz yelled, waving his hand in front of his eyes. But it did no good. "He's completely zonked-out," he reported.

So, the 3 Saiyans all took a deep breath, and shouted: "HEY, OLD-TIIIIIIMERRRRRRRR!" The force of the shout left Roshi's brain completely rattled.

A few minutes later, Roshi was pouring himself a cold beer as he sat at a small end table with the others. The Saiyan brothers were both eating some meat, and Gine simply chose to have tea. "So you three want to become my pupils, eh?" he asked.

"That's the long-and-short of it, yeah," Raditz nodded, a chicken leg in hand. "Well, I don't take on many students..." the old man replied. "...just those which I believe show potential. And my training IS quite strict, definitely not for the faint of heart!"

"We don't mind; in fact, we're gonna get even stronger than you!" Goku retorted, while eating his meat.

"So...you're hopin' to become even stronger than the great Kame-Sennin?" Roshi asked, chortling. Soon, Goku joined in. "Well, I won't train you two fer nuthin'!"

Gine rolled her eyes. "Of course there's a catch...what is it?" she asked, taking notice of the lusty smile creeping across the old man's face.

"We~ll..." Roshi drawled. "you could...sh-show me your...breasts!" Gine's face turned red with a mix of embarrassment and anger; but before she could respond, Raditz quickly zipped between the both of them.

"If you try to sexually harass my mother EVER AGAIN..." he growled deeply. "I'll reach into your chest, pull out your backbone, and twist it like a pretzel before I re-insert it up your anus!"

Roshi's face went pale-white. "Then again, I'm more than willing to train you three, free of charge...!" he replied nervously, sweating bullets. Raditz smiled darkly. "Well, I'm glad we could reach an agreement. What do you think of that, Kakarot?"

But Goku's attention had been caught by something else. "What's that?" he asked, turning to the window.

"What?" Roshi gawked. "I can barely see 'im; how can you hear him?"

"Saiyan genetics, old man," Raditz replied, glancing out to the ocean. Out there was a rowboat, piloted by a 3-foot-tall bald-headed male clad in monk's robes. As he got closer to Roshi's island, he placed the oars to the side, and grabbed his cloth-wrapped bundle.

In an instant, the boy leaped into the air, tumbling and turning end-over-end through open space...only to land head-first in the sand. Raditz couldn't help but laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of this attempt at coolness, while Gine just rolled her eyes in response. The boy kicked and flailed his legs wildly, before attempting to dislodge himself from the sand.

Roshi glanced at Goku. "Pull him outta there, wouldja?" he asked. Goku nodded, and he and Raditz took hold of the boy's legs, before straining...and then uprooting him like a carrot in a vegetable garden.

From closer-up, everyone could see that on the boy's forehead were six small dots, arranged into 2 rows going straight downward.

The boy cleared his throat, then proceeded to dust the sand from his scalp. "Thanks...I slipped back there..." he muttered, before all the sand was cleared away.
