A/N: I started a story, so who cares? This is a new style of writing for me, and yes, it's short, but it leads to something. I have the name of the chapters worked out, but not the story. But don't worry, it'll be really good. So... Read on.

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ at all.

Shinzon – New Existence

Chapter 1: Whispers of Things to Come

The figure stared intently into her magical crystal ball, keeping a careful eye on her intended target. If all went according to plan, she could take and rip apart one of the proudest warriors ever. Making a sharp whistle through her teeth, one of her most trusted servants walked in from the arched doorway.

"Yes, master?"

"Fetch me Techme."

"Right away, sir." The servant disappeared through the archway again to reappear minutes later. "Here he is, sire." Bowing, he left as a raven flew in, landing on his owner's shoulder.

"Ah... Techme, my pet." She stroked the raven's feathers gently. "Are you up to another mission?" The raven squawked loudly. "I want you to spy on this man and tell me his weak point." The figure pointed into the crystal ball as it showed a close-up of a man with black, spiky hair. "He is very powerful. Do not be spotted, got it?"

The raven squawked again as though he were talking. The figure smiled. "Go then." The raven launched off of its master's shoulder to the open window lying a few feet away, flying out of it and into the night sky. The figure cackled evilly.

"Soon, the whole world will know my name. They will fear the one being able to take down the strongest: Reina."

"Whaa!" Goku caught a nearby branch as his feet grazed the grass below. "Phew. That was close. I could have hurt myself." He pulled himself back up onto the branch, staring up to the very top of the tree. "I was so close too, before I tripped on that loose twig and fell. Now I gotta start all over again." Jumping to his feet quickly and carefully, he started his ascent back up the tree.

Soon, he was at the top, overlooking the hilly plains near his home as a windswept breeze picked up, feeling cool and brilliant to his sweating body. "Ah... Nothing like a good breeze to cool me down." The sun was starting to rise as suddenly, a little boy in like appearance to him flew across to land next to Goku.

"Dad, mom wants to know when you're going back home. She's getting worried."

"Okay, Goten. Thanks for telling me, son. I'll follow you shortly." Goten nodded and headed off back homeward. Goku watched his 8 year old son fly away as he sighed. "He sure is getting big. I'm so proud of him. Just like his father: Strong." He glanced at the sky as it grew gray. "Storm's headin' this way. Better get on home." He cracked his neck and took off.

Somewhere down below in the depths of a tree, a lone raven watched the mighty Saiyan fly off. It gave a tiny squawk and tailed after him.

"Goku, do you want second helpings?" His wife, Chi-Chi, asked as Goku eagerly nodded his head. Chi-Chi took up his plate and poured more mashed potatoes on to it. "Here you go, dear." She set it back down in front of him before walking over to the sink, scrubbing off dirty plates from yesterday.

"Hey mom, can I head over to Capsule Corp? Trunks has a new Playstation game that I wanna play," Goten piped in.

"Sure, just be careful. And don't stay over there for too long."

"I won't, mom." Goten knocked his chair backwards and ran to the door, immediately taking flight. Chi-Chi shook her head and gave an exasperated sigh.

"He needs to slow down. Time won't go any slower if he hurries up like that."

"Oh give him a break, Chi. He's still a boy," Goku replied after swallowing a mouthful of food.

"Yes, he is still is my little boy to me... But Goku, he's growing older. Soon he won't even need us. He'll have a wife of his own..." Tears lit Chi-Chi's eyes.

"Chi-Chi, honey, don't be sad... That's still a long way to go."

"You're right... I shouldn't be like this," Chi-Chi said as she used the sleeve of her shirt to wipe the tears away. "I'm going upstairs to rest. Why don't you head over with Goten, just to make sure he stays out of trouble?"

Goku got out of his chair instantly. "Sure, hun! I guess I'll be back before dinner as well?" He smiled.

Chi-Chi smiled back. "Of course. Now get going or Goten will beat you there." Goku nodded his head and took off after Goten. Chi-Chi walked up the stairs to her room, her feet slightly echoing around as she suddenly felt alone. Sighing, she laid down on her side of the double bed, staring up at the ceiling. "My poor little boys... Growing up so fast..."

A creak on a floorboard was heard from downstairs, startling Chi-Chi and making her sit straight up. "Who's there?" She called out. "Goku?" No answer was returned to her question. The whole house seemed to grow deadly quiet. "Goku, or Goten, don't try scaring me like this... March your butt in here right now, mister..." Another creak was heard as the sound scared Chi-Chi a thousand times more than the first one.

More creaks from the floorboards were heard as the sound was getting closer and closer... "Don't come any closer!!" Chi-Chi screamed out loud. But that did not stop the mysterious sound or figure as the door swung wide open... to find nothing standing there. Chi-Chi grabbed the covers of the bed in fear, looking at the door, wide-eyed.

Suddenly, a flash of a glinting knife was seen before Chi-Chi, and, before she could react, she crumbled to the floor, blood dripping vexingly from her throat to the floor, in a loud drip-drop sound.

Soon, Chi-Chi Son was no longer living.
