-The Lost Empire-
Chapter 1: Rebirth

The day had grown late, the sun was slowly setting into the horizon and the stars were beginning to be visible once more. A normal sized form could be seen in the distance carrying a small pack. After a while the contents of the pack were revealed as small orbs each glowing bright then dim as if pulsating. The person was unable to be seen from the distance but you could tell it was a male, long hair stood up straight spiking to one single point. Arms were raised as the mysterious figure spoke out loud.

"Dragon! Come out now and grant me my wish!"

The orbs now revealed to be the dragon balls were glowing a bright golden color, the sky became even blacker than what it was as clouds filled the sky. Bolts of lightning struck the ground and one single flash appeared as a large pillar of light formed from the ground, thick and unyeilding to its surroundings. As it touched the clouds it began to take form, its extremely long body, legs and arms, the head was the last to emerge from the forming pillar of light. A loud deep voice was heard seeming to come from the now apparent dragon.

"You have awakened me from my slumber, I shall grant you two wishs" The dragon spoke as if not wanting to be bothered.

"I shall make this quick, I want you to ressurect my home planet from the one who destroyed it!" The male spoke almost as sharp toned as the dragon had.

The dragon's eyes glowed a bright red as the wind had suddenly kicked up. "Your wish has been granted, Now what is your second wish?"

"Bring back all those native to my home planet who were killed in it's destruction! And hurry up!" the form had spoken louder than before.

After much contemplation the dragon decided to grant the man's wish. "It shall be done" After the typical glowing eyes and rising wind the dragon spoke once more then soon vanished from the scene in a bright flash of golden light.

Another form could now be seen not to far away from the taller figure and spoke in a low tone as if of a child. "Uhm.. do you think it is a good idea to do this father?"

"Quiet boy, do not question your father and your soon to be reborn king" The taller figure spoke in a sharp tone. " Come now, my son, we have a lot of planning to do in the morning."

The two soon departed from their position, taking to the air. The wind became much colder that night and remained that way until the morning had come. In the night sky a new bright light could be seen, glowing brighter than the northern star had ever glown.

Hours had passed since the dragon had been summoned. At the Son house, Goten and Trunks could easily be seen outside playing in the field as Gohan and Videl had been placed over Goten, Trunks was simply visiting as he had always done routinely. Videl had been taunting Gohan about how he never takes her out on any dates any more and he always replied with a joking laugh and another lame excuse. Trunks stopped from his normal play with Goten as he looked serious, staring out towards the east.

"Hey Goten, do you know what my dad's been doing ever since your dad left again with your mom?" he asked inquizitivly.

"Uhm, not really" Goten had replied in his noncaring childish way.

"Well im not going to tell you if you dont know" The older boy spoke keeping the younger one in suspence.

"Aww! C'mon Trunks tell me. If you dont, I'll tell Gohan!" He spoke with a sharp threatening tone this time, knowing that once he brought someone older into the argument that he would always win.

The older boy merely smirked at the comment knowing Gohan had his own troubles to deal with and took flight towards the Capsule Corporation. Trunks had something up his sleeve and Goten knew it, but what he didnt know.

"Hey Gohan? Can I go to Trunks' house for a little bit?" He looked to his older brother with a timid expression as if trying to get what he wanted and knowing Gohan would want to get away from Videl for a while, he agreed. Gohan had excused himself from Videls presence but not before being forced to agree on a date later with her. The two of them then set out to find out exactly where Trunks was, noticing that Vejita was not far from the Son house.

Trunks had soon joined up with his father as Gohan and Goten flew through the air to attempt to catch up, upon landing the two Sons saw in full view just exactly what Trunks had been talking about. Before them stood a large shuttle, similar to the one that Goku had used to travel to Namek in, only slightly larger for that of about four or five passengers.

Vejita looking over the shuttle didnt seem too pleased with the construction, but trusted his mates father and took no second thoughts, he then turned to the 'children' near him and spoke in a sharp tone. "I have decided to leave and you three are coming with me". The three boys all complained and moaned upon hearing the news. "Silence! You have no say in the matter, you will all learn about your heritage as saiyajin.. even if you all are only half".

Gohan decided to speak up and question why Vejita decided on this trip with the boys. "Hey, Vejita? Why are we going if we can just listen to you and dad tell us stories about our race and our former planet?"

"Because, Kakaroutt is a moron and doesnt know his race from a hole in the ground. So we are going to see for ourselves how our race is and you shall learn about your heritage first hand."

They all stared at him blankly as he ranted on about the Saiyajin race and the home planet Vejita. After everything was over Goten looked to Trunks still puzzled. Trunks decided to put it in terms Goten could comprehend. "Father used the dragon balls to wish back the planet and now we are going."

"Oh.." It was the only reply he managed to get out of him as Goten was now surprised.

Vejita turned to Gohan knowing he would have full confidence in him. No words were needed as Gohan knew that Vejita wanted him to make sure the boys stayed out of trouble while on the new planet. But why not go alone? Why did he want the three halflings to 'tag along'.

At the Kame House, Goku and Chichi laid on two beach chairs, enjoying a nice vacation with just the two of them. Bulma had made sure Roshi stayed off the island and at the Capsule Corp building, Yamcha and Tienshinhan had not been seen in many weeks and Yajirobi, on the few occasions he did show up had decided to stay up on top of the tower for the time being. Chichi smply rolled onto her side to look at her husband with a smile on her face as he had drifted alseep. She always did like watching him sleep, she said it remined her of when they were children, how he had the expression of when he was a child, not having a care in the world.

"Goku, i love you" she whispered into his ear as he slept then she soon fell alseep in her own chair.

~Capsule Corp. flight 203, ready for lift off~ A computer voice had spoken out as the 4 saiyajin had been prepared for the trip they were about to take.

"Blasted machine, get on with it already!" It was apparent that Vejita was still the same and had no patience when put into a situation and made to wait.

~5..4..3..2..1.. Blast off~ The ship took the the air with not a flaw and left for the planet Vejita.
