Alrighty guys! This is my first fanfic that I've ever done. If you feel like I've done something OOC or just unethical, just post a review and let me know! In this fanfic, I'll be building off the end of Dragon Ball Z ('Cause we all know GT was a bunch of BS XD). This fanfic will be as if GT never happened. It's rated MA for gory fight scenes and maybe a lemon or two. Enjoy!

Chapter 1
It was finally over. He finally did it. Goku finally destroyed the last great evil in the universe, Buu. It took all he had and then some. If the universe hadn't been on his side, Buu would have won and the universe would be in great peril, but he finally did it. Completely beaten and exhausted, Goku collapsed to the ground, gave Vegeta a quick thumbs up and a smile, and passed out.
3 Years Later
"Dad!" Gohan yelled as he ran up to Goku, "Videl and I have some great news that we want to tell you! Meet me at my house in about an hour so I can tell you!" "Why can't you just tell me now, Gohan?" Goku asked inquisitively. "Because it's something that Videl and I have to tell you together. Besides, I think you'd like time to finish up your workout with Goten here." "Hey Gohan, can I be there when you tell him?" Goten asked. "Sure, Goten. In fact I want the whole family to be there." He said with a smile. 'That would mean Chi-Chi, Goku, Goten, Ox King, and maybe Mr. Satan would have to be there.' Gohan thought to himself.
After a little bit of small talk Goten got bored and decided to go call his girlfriend from school. "Well I guess we'll meet you at the house. I'm trying to help Goten here achieve Super Saiyan 2. He's so close I can almost feel it. If only he'd put more of his efforts into training other than talking to girls all day, he could be such a great challenge in the future." Goku told Gohan casually. "Well, I mean, he is a teenager. When I was that age, Mom didn't allow me to do much other than study. My only breaks were eating, sleeping, and sneaking off with you to train. Oh, and don't forget when we'd have those death battles with bad guys." Gohan said with a laugh. "Anyways, have you had any more progress towards your next ascension, Dad?" "No." Goku deadpanned, "This one just happens to be the most elusive one yet. I don't know what's keeping me from reaching it. I have the drive, the motivation, and all of the time in the world. I have no clue what it'll take for me to reach this level. But I like challenges so it'll be fun!" Goku said enthusiastically.
"Alright, Dad, have fun with that. I've got to run. I'll see you at my house when you're done training. And give him a good reminder that he's not close to catching up anytime soon!" Gohan said as he began to power up to leave. "Alright! See you then!" Goku replied quickly.
Once Gohan was far enough away, Goku turned to the now unaware Goten in the distance and smirked "You've got your guard down, Son." He said to himself. He quickly dashed over to Goten and knocked him hard into the ground. "Shouldn't have let your guard down!" He said with a laugh. Goten was sprawled out on the ground in a small crater next to a broken cellphone.
"Geez, Dad, you didn't have to break my phone!"
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. You weren't focusing on your training so it had to go."
"Looks like I'm gonna have to get you back then, huh?"
"You can try!" Goku said before powering up to Super Saiyan 2. Goten followed suit and powered up.
"Let's go, Dad!" Goten shouted as they dashed at each other ready for another brawl.
At Gohan and Videl's House
"WHERE ARE THEY?" an anxious Chi-Chi exclaimed angrily while pacing around the room, "It's been over three hours! They should've been here over two hours ago! I wanna know what this damn thing is already so I can go ahead and cook dinner because I know that's gonna be the first thing they ask for. Food!"
"Relax, Mom. You know how Dad gets when he trains. I bet they'll be along any moment." Gohan said trying to get his mother to calm down and sit down. "Look! Here they are now!"
"Goku, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN? And what happened to you two?" Chi-Chi exclaimed when she saw how beat up they were.
"Well, we were training when Goten finally reached the next level! He's a Super Saiyan 2! I'm so proud of him!" Goku said with pride.
"That explains everything." Videl muttered to herself.
"Well you two go get cleaned up and get back here. And don't even think about taking your time. You've made us wait long enough already." Chi-Chi said much more calmly.
"Yes, ma'am!" Goten said enthusiastically.
When they Goku and Goten were finally all cleaned up and somewhat presentable, they went back out to the small gathering that was their family. They all sat down in the living room. Gohan sitting in the middle of the couch with Videl on his left and his mother on the right. Goten was sitting against a wall towards the back of the room texting, Ox King was sitting patiently on the loveseat next to the couch, and Goku had pulled up a chair from the kitchen.
Once they were all seated and comfortable, Gohan took Videl's hand in his as they exchanged a quick look.
"Videl's pregnant" "I'm pregnant" They said at the same time.
The room was silent for what seemed like forever. Even Goten had looked up from his texting.
"That's great!" Goku exclaimed with joy.
"Congratulations, Gohan. Videl." Ox King said with a huge smile that he was known for.
"My little boy's growing up." Chi-Chi wept as she wrapped her son up in a huge hug.
"Well, now that that's off the table, where's the grub?" Goku asked goofily while scratching the nape of his neck.
"I swear, that's all you ever ask for, Goku!" Chi-Chi said after hitting him so hard that he was knocked backwards over the chair.
Somewhere out in space
"Sir, we are rapidly approaching the new home planet of Prince Vegeta. We should be there within the hour." a grunt flying the ship exclaimed.
"Good. Derk, make sure that everything is ready to face him. We want to make sure he's as surprised as we were when they cast us away."
"Yes, sir, Lord Kratt!"
"Let our enemies fall to Hell." Lord Kratt said.
"LET OUR ENEMIES FALL TO HELL!" the whole crew shouted as one.
King Kai's Planet
King Kai awoke with a jolt. He knew what was coming to Earth. They were not going to be happy. 'I have to let Goku know,' he thought. "Goku! Can you hear me? This is extremely urgent! There is a new group of enemies heading straight towards you! They are much more powerful than Buu. Each one of them is more powerful than Buu, but the leader… The leader is the one who is the most deadly. Get here now Goku!" He said rapidly over the mental link. "Sure thing, King Kai." Goku said just appearing behind him with the instant transmission technique.
"What are we looking at here, King Kai? Are they really that strong? I can't wait to meet them!" Goku said enthusiastically.
"This is something not to be taken lightly, Goku. These men are vicious. They were once saiyans. They have become something much stronger than saiyans due to scientific experiments. That's all I know about their species as of the moment, but they are not to be taken lightly that is for sure. You need to be at your best when they land. I suspect that they are about 10 minutes away from Earth. When Vegeta finally learns of them… I don't want to think about that right now…" King Kai explained.
"Sure. I'll go to Earth now and check up on everyone. They're all at one of Bulma's parties."
"When I called you, were you there too?" King Kai asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nah, I was out training. I guess I'll go greet them now. See ya later, King Kai!" Goku said as he instant transmissioned off of King Kai's planet.
"That boy will be the death of me." King Kai said.
At Bulma's party
Everyone was having a good time, but Bulma was off somewhere exclaiming that Goku never came to any of her parties because he was off training. Just as she finished, he appeared in front of her. She seemed to jump out of her skin when he appeared.
"Kami, Goku, don't just pop up in front of people. You can make someone have a heart attack like that."
"Sorry, Bulma. I guess I just chose somewhere at the party to pop up and this just seemed like the best place. I didn't know you'd walk right next to where I'd pop up." he said while rubbing the back of his head. "Anyways, do you know where Vegeta is?"
"He's over there by the…" Bulma began but was interrupted as a humongous spaceship landed right in the middle of the party.
The door to the spaceship opened to reveal a man taller than Goku. His eyes were baby blue and his hair was silver. He was built like Goku, but he was more defined and looked stronger.
He walked down the ramp to the earth and looked around at everyone. He looked completely at ease around them. He finally located who he was looking for. Vegeta.
"It's been a long time, Vegeta. Please, tell me how you've been the last 30 or so years?" Kratt asked.
The look on Vegeta's face was of pure terror and, if you looked close enough, you might've been able to see him shaking.
"Not going to answer me? Fine. I will just introduce myself. I am Lord Kratt. I was once one of King Vegeta's most prized advisors. Until he accused my family and I of treason and had us 'executed.' To the public's eyes, at least. He had us tested on to see if he could extract the secret of Super Saiyan. He didn't find it, but what he did do…" He paused after saying this. He motioned towards his ship as a lot of warriors began to emerge. By the time they all exited, there must've been around 100 of them, total. "...was create the perfect race of saiyan. He never named us, but we like to call ourselves Wolf Saiyans."
"Cut the crap! Why did you feel the need to ruin my party?" Bulma exclaimed.
"We came here for the head of the man whose father had our lives stripped from us. You know, because his father's dead and all. He is right there." he said pointing a very muscular arm to Vegeta.
Well, I hope you like Chapter 1. I want to do so much more with this story, but I won't continue it if I don't have any backing from at least some people. If you feel like there's something wrong with the story leave a review or PM me. I'll be posting again as soon as I finish the next chapter. It should be within the next week or so, but it might get postponed due to my personal life. See you next time guys!
