Dragon Ball Z: The Twisted Mirror

Dragon Ball Z

Chapter 1

Babidi's Vengance

Just outside of West City, in the forest, a strange device was giving of a rythmic pulsating signal, like a beating heart, hoping to achieve it's primary programming. A task thought impossible. A plan that seemed doomed to fail...But one wizard had done research.

To turn Goku evil. Twist him into a Majin. That which was done to Vegeta. A pre-meditated plan to get the sweetest revenge. He would kill all of his loved ones. And he would be helpless to stop it...

"Are you sure this is even going to work?", a condescending voice, deep and refined in accent, said from a distance.

"Of course it's going to work, you overgrown bug!", responded a second high pitched voice, immensely offended at the previous question.

Cell shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Babidi's crystal ball with small interest. "You do know that Goku is the greatest goody two shoes to ever live, right?", Cell asked. Babidi had chanted some ridiculous incantation, one he used to control both Dabura and Vegeta at one point. Cell had heard about it, and decided to entertain the idea.

Goku's evil being exploited to control him?

The absurdity of it all! That is, until Babidi explained his findings in his recent research.

"You see", said Babidi, taking pride in his well thought out, devious plan. "Goku wasn't always a goody two-shoes!", The diminutive wizard explained with sadistic glee. His ego was fed even more at Cell's peaked curiosity. Several other villians killed by Goku in the past also came to check out the commotion. They didn't have anything better to do after all.

Babidi was all to happy to explain his plan.

"I researched the saiyan race. And as infants, the lower class infants, which Goku was, were sent to planets with programming instilled by subconcious commands by the saiyan space pods, to kill all inhabitants of the specified planet!", Babidi yelled excitedly.

"By using this variation of the magic I used to control Vegeta, I can bring out that long hidden programming and make him impure in heart again!", He added.

All the villians who had came to listen started murmuring.

"Wow, you could do that?"

"Finally, long awaited revenge."

"Cool."

"Interesting."

"KAKKAROT!"

"Mind control? hunh..."

The villians ceased their chatter as Babidi's crystal ball began to glow. An image appeared and depicted a device on the outskirts of a city.

"This device will bring out Goku's hidden programming, and allow me to twist and control Goku's then impure heart!"

The crowd began to cheer, as they would finally achieve revenge for Goku and his friends killing them.

East District

Goku was happily eating his mountain of food outside at the front yard. Everyone, including the Briefs, and friends of the family, had attended a large Cookout in front of Goku's house. The tent that held the buffet table, of course, was bigger than the actual house. Excited chatter could be heard, and the clattering of dishes and plates joined in with the friendly atmosphere. After the whole dilemma with Kid Buu, everyone decided it was time to have an after party to the one they had at Capsule Corp. Vegeta had finally learned to unwind, somewhat, sat at a table.

"Hey Vegeta, do you want your Chicken Wings?", Goku asked, almost salivating at the dish next to Vegeta.

"Of course I'm going to eat it, you fool.", Vegeta said in between bites. Really, why couldn't Kakarot just go the buffet table and get another plate. There was plenty of food for him there. Vegeta knew that it wouldn't be that easy. Kakarot would take the easy route (in his mind) and reach for Vegeta's dish.

As his hand got closer, Vegeta slapped his hand away, eating the chicken for himself. "My chicken.", he stated simply.

"Awww...", Goku said sadly before getting up to grab a plate from the bar.

Everyone had turned at the sound of dish crashing to the floor.

"Hey buddy, you okay?"

"Goku, what is it!"

"Dude, what happened, say something!"

Goku was on his knees, clutching at his head with his both his hands. Everyone crowded around him trying to get a positive response out of him.

Chi-Chi, who was most concerned about him, had quickly ran to him and placed his head in her hands.

"G-Goku, what is it?", she said quickly. Vegeta had stopped eating when he heard the crash and was wondering what was up with him.

Goku tried to say something to his wife.

"I-I need to...need to...", Goku was cut off from his response, as his eyelids closed and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He had fell unconcious. His face looked as though it was in pain, as though he were fighting something. Chi-Chi held held him in her arms, on the verge of tears.

"Someone, get him a senzu bean!", she shouted. None had any on them, and Bulma volunteered to take everyone to Dende's Lookout with her airship. Krillin and Yamcha cautiously carried Goku's unconcious body to the ship, as everyone prepared for the trip to the lookout. Chi-Chi sat in a passenger seat with Goku, his head resting on her lap, as she caressed his cheek.

"Everything's going to be okay, Goku. We'll...We'll find out what happened.", Chi-Chi said, as the ship took off to the skies.
