Chapter 1: A Time of Peace

Earth. A beautiful, lush planet full of hope and happiness. After going through many hard times, such as the Red Ribbon Army, Frieza,s Arrival, the Androids, and finally, Cell, Earth is now in a state of well-deserved peace.

"Gohan! GOHAN!! Where are you?", shouted a women in her 30's. She was the mother of this child, Chi-Chi.

"I'm over here, mom!", shouted the boy back, who was busy studying something for class. He was outside studying the plantlife in the area for a project for school.

Gohan, the New Protector of Earth after his father, just 1 Year ago, gave his life to save Earth from Cell. Even thought his main source of inspiration for fighting was gone from his life, he still looked up to his father greatly. Now, he has started to respect his mother's wishes and almost abandoned training completely now, focusing all of his time and efforts on scholarly projects and work.

"When you are finished with that, could you help me with something over here?", shouted Chi-Chi.

"Sure thing!"

He jotted down the last notes in his book and went off to help his mother. She was having a hard time trying to get something in another room since it was on the highest shelf in the house.

"Hmph! That Goku! He always DID put stuff on the highest shelf, but I could never reach them!"

She was beginning to, of course, miss Goku greatly. She was making due with life now as a widow, but she missed her husband greatly. Soon after the news of his death reached her, even more startling news was found, as she found that she was pregnant by Goku again and she was expecting another child in 3 months. She had the child and named him Goten. Goten is now 9 months old and was as much of a screamer as Goku was when he was a baby.

Gohan laughed and jumped up, reaching for the jar at the top shelf. He swiped it with ease and handed it to his waiting mother. Chi-Chi sighed.

"You boys. I hope Goten doesn't pick up any bad influences from you!"

Gohan chuckled and said, "Mom! I'm going over to Bulma's place!" Before he flew away, he uttered on last "Bye, bro!" and flew off. He flew off into the sky, heading for Capsule Corp.

At Capsule Corp, the usual schedule for a certain, Saiyan resumed as normal. Training, Training, and mroe training! It didn't cease except for the times he had to eat and sleep. He kept pushing himself to the brink. The Saiyan Warrior came out of the Gravity Chamber for a break.

"Vegeta! You keep doing that and there won't be anything LEFT of you OR the room!" The voice of his wife was beginning to pierce his brain like a needle.

"Woman! I know my restraints better than you do!", he replied in a curt manner.

"Well, excuse me for looking out for your well-being! Hmph!' She walked off in a huff, fed up with arguing with the proud Saiyan.

At this moment, The Saiyan sensed someone coming toward them. He looked up and saw Gohan, in his school uniorm, heading straight for them. Gohan landed in front of them.

"Hey, Vegeta! Hey, Bulma!"

"Hmph! You aren't getting any cheer from me!"

"Vegeta! be kind for ONCE! Anyway, hi, Gohan!"

Gohan gave a puzzled look. "Why's Vegeta so mad?"

"How can a brat like you surpass not only me, but Kakarot as well? It's absurd by all means!"

Bulma laughed. "Someone doesn't like it when he loses!"

Vegeta just growled and went into the house to rest and wash off.

"So, what are you doing here today,Gohan?"

Gohan replied, "I justt came to visit and, I guess, to just hang out. It has been awhile!"

"Yeah! Gosh! When you think about it, it hasn't been THAT long, but it feels like forever."

While those two old friends have begun to catch up on old times, there was a dark threat headed straight for them. In the desolance of space, there was yet another, living Saiyan, who was desperate for revenge. Who is this new threat and what is his goal?
