Dragonball Evolutions

Chapter One

It was just another day in the dragon world. Eighteen months since the battle with the evil Sheng Longs (there were seven) and the leaving of Gokou. Piccolo is still dead (since Baby blew up the earth) and Gokou, wherever he was taken (he left with the good Sheng Long), is still a child, about twelve years old, after Pilaf's wish. However, Gohan has decided to gather the dragonballs at the end of the year to wish Piccolo back to this dimension. This can be done because, although Piccolo had been wished back before, it had been done with the Namek dragonballs and had nothing to do with the earth dragonballs.

And with the turn of the year he indeed wished Piccolo back. Instead of staying on earth, (which is really the only planet he has known as home) Piccolo chooses to travel to New Namek and learn more about his mysterious heritage. He summons Kaio-bit to teleport him to the planet and once again leaves Gohan, but promises to return to him. On New Namek Piccolo is warmly greeted by the people of his homeland and so his identity quest begins.

Vegeta, though mildly depressed at losing (maybe?) his best friend and only rival Kakkarot, still trains in hope that Kakkarot will return to challenge him. He has had Dr. Briefs assemble him the most advanced training room ever. Instead of just being a gravity room, it has simulated fight sequences in any imaginable climate with robotic opponents set at your own difficulty level! Vegeta was very pleased with his father-in-law, though by his usual sinister look you could not tell what he was thinking. In the middle of his training one day Vegeta's body suddenly changed and got more strength and energy as his grey hairs disappeared, as usual he credited this to his extreme training. He had to be impressed with the advances in human technology.

Gohan knows that his father is okay where he is and Goten, who is once again single (as ditzy as his last girlfriend, Helen was no one was surprised), is not overly concerned about his father because for the first seven years of his life, Gokou was M.I.A. Nevertheless, Goten knows how important it was to his father to keep up his martial arts training, so he and Trunks train together at Capsule Corp in a gravity room like Vegeta's. He now looks exactly like Gokou, if Gokou was a teenager, except he wears an orange stocking cap to keep in his unruly and so he doesn't remind his mother too much of his missing father. Trunks' hair is very long now, to the middle of his back almost, and he often ties it back when he is fighting. He and Trunks wear matching tank tops, Trunks' is purple and Goten's is black. They have been training in fusion mode as Gotenks. Such good friends as they are, they have developed a such a strong bond between the two of them and now they can sustain fusion as long as they want up to five hours. Their energy ring attack can now sap an opponent's strength and reintroduce the power to Gotenks. Unfortunately they have to wait 45 minutes before they fuse again because they use much more power now.

Chi Chi has never been the same since Gokou left, but Gohan and Videl are helping her get through it. Even though Pan is only a quarter-saiyan and only 12 years old, she still has much fighting spirit in her and has been training with Uub. However Uub, (still powered up from Buu's spirit rejoining in him) wants to train with someone stronger and abandons Pan to train with Gohan. Ultimate Uub, which he becomes when transformed(after he got Buu's powerup), has a mostly black mohawk with white and gold streaks. He wears a small black vest with thick red trim along the openings that is open at the chest and stops just above his abdomen. He also has white pants with butter colored boots.

Gohan, having accomplished his mother's dreams of him being a scholar is now extraordinarily smart. He no longer needs to be educated from books and is now learning from life experiences as he did when he was young (how much can you learn on earth anyhow?) and he is also in training. Though rusty from lack of practice, Gohan has tapped his hidden power and can once again use the immense power he recieved from Dai-Kaioshin in the Boo series. For now he can only go SSJ at level one because he cannot totally control his power. He and Uub are now sparring in the Tenkai (Dende's Palace). Uub is keeping up with Gohan until he goes to almost SSJ2 in USSJ form and starts putting the beats on Uub.

The only warriors not fighting/training are Tenshinhan, Kuririn, Chaozu, Yamcha, and Master Roshi. Tenshinhan and Chaozu do train with each other occasionally, but lately they have been just enjoying the quietness of the forest. Lunch/Kashami is back in the area to see old friends and has been dating Yamcha (he says her mood changes are just like Bulma's). Kuririn and Master Roshi have been chilling out at Kame House and enjoying the beach, while Roshi molests women in the water. Kuririn reflects on how Gokou and he used to be such good friends.
