Chapter 1

Peace Begone

The air was always chilly atop of the lookout but Gohan had become quite fond of it and the life that he had established there. He took in a deep breath and let the chilled air fill his lungs before turning his attention to the laughter of his young son. He smiled as he watched the boy run playfully from his beautiful but increasingly irritated mother.

18 dove at her young and small target, tackling him to the ground. The young boys laughs continued to fill her ears and the mother couldn't help herself but to smile. " Ok Trunks, you knew the deal. If I caught you it was bath time. Now get in there and scrub the dirt off of you." She did her best to keep a straight face and a serious tone so the young boy would be able to tell that she wasn't joking.

The Gohan look alike got to his feet and bowed his head to his mother. " Jeez...Ok mom, I will.." Trunks slowly walked back inside of the large palace that is his home.

18's eyes traveled across and met her husbands. " It was so nice of you to step in, Oh wise guardian…" The sarcastic tone in her voice was evident but her smile told Gohan that he wasn't in too much trouble.

" Sorry 18" The nervous demi-saiyan chuckled. " You looked like you had it under control though." He smiled and walked over to his wife and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. " Lets get in there and make sure he is actually bathing. We can't have the heir of the guardian having bad hygiene"

The couple laughed and walked inside of their large palace home, unknowing of the evil that was about to release itself upon the world.

The sound of computer keys clicking echoed throughout a large empty room. " I will create the most powerful warrior ever imagined….Then...The universe will be mine.." A slight smile spread across the pale blue skin of a woman. The woman tilted her head back and let her silky white hair fall behind her. A loud beeping erupted through the speakers of the computer and catching the woman's attention.

" Aw finally. I can get started…." The blue skinned beauty rose to her feet and placed a small vial in one of her skin tight pockets of her red uniform and made her way out of the small room. A sudden voice caught the sly woman's attention causing her to stop in her tracks.

" Towa...What are you doing here this late? You know that this is a restricted area after curfew." A tall and slender red skinned man stood only a few feet from the woman. The man's skin was a deep shade of crimson and large horns protruded from his forehead.

The beauty turned and smiled as the man questioned her. " I wasn't aware that I couldn't put in some overtime at the lab sir...I won't let it happen again." Towa turned and began to walk away until the man placed his hand on her shoulder.

" Towa..I am not a fool. What were you doing in there and what did you place in your pocket? I am only going to give you one chance to tell me or I am going to go to Dabura and you know he will not be pleased.." The mans face was serious and his grip on the woman's shoulder was firm.

Towa let her head hang as she let out a long sigh. " There is just no getting by you is there….Fine you caught me. For the last several years I have been working on a way to create the most powerful warrior in the universe. It has taken many painstaking hours but I have finally found a way. You see I am going to travel the universe and collect the Dna of the most powerful warriors the universe has ever seen and by doing so I will free of this realm as well as its pitiful rules and the universe will be mine."

Silence followed the beauties story and left the red man without a response. Towa finally turned and faced the man " What's the matter? I thought you wanted to know what I was doing?" The man just stood in silence, still in shock from what she had told him. Towa removed the man's hand from her shoulder and smiled " You know what this means don't you?"

The red man finally found his voice and responded hesitantly " Towa...I..You..You know I have to tell King Dabura…"

Towa smiled " I know...I understand." in an instant a long thin spear formed in her hand and she quickly thrust it through the mans face causing black colored blood to cover the halls. " Sorry...I just couldn't let you do that." She watched as the man's limp body collapsed to the ground before turning around and heading out of the large laboratory and discarded her building ID.

The cool night breeze wafted through the guardians palace and chilled Gohans bare skin. The demi-saiyan laid in his bed, wide awake as his thoughts raced through his mind. He just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He had mentioned his worries to 18 but there just wasn't much they could do other than put themselves on high alert. " I dont know whats coming but I know there is something...Hopefully it won't be anything major. All my son has ever known is peace and I would like it to stay that way..I don't want him to have to experience battles like I did at his age.."

A soft warm hand touched the guardians cool skin and caused him to lower his eyes to that of his wifes. 18's voice came almost as a whisper " I see you are still worrying...You know, If you don't get some rest you will get lazy and possibly overlook whatever it is that you are worrying about." The womans deep blue eyes sparkled in the dim light of the room.

Gohan smiled at her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. " You are right. There is no sense in worrying myself when nothing is here yet…"

18 sat up and gave a mischievous smile " Yeah besides...maybe I would like to be at the forefront of your mind for a bit." She watched as her ever bashful husbands face began to flush and she began to kiss him wildly.

The couple rolled passionately beneath the sheets of their cool bed, fighting for dominance over one another. Gohans hands firmly grasped 18's smooth waist as she moved on top of the demi-saiyan. Gohans heart was racing as he watched the ageless woman remove the large shirt that covered her flawless body. The guardian quickly rolled over, placing his wife on her back. He smiled as he watched her lightly bite her lip. Just as he began to speak, an overwhelming feeling of fear flooded into his mind.

18's passion flooded eyes suddenly snapped back as she saw a fearful look spread across Gohans face. " Hey...What's the matter Gohan. What has happened?..."

Without hesitation the guardian jumped out of bed and onto his feet. " Whatever IT is...Its here.." He shifted his eyes to his wife and her nude body, nearly drooling at the sight of her. " Im sorry love...We will have to take a raincheck on this one…"

18 rolled her eyes but flashed a slight smile at him " You wish you could be so lucky again…" sarcasm dripped from her words before her expression changed " Seriously though...be careful and get back here soon…."

Gohan walked over to his wife and placed a soft kiss upon her lips before heading out of their chamber and launching himself into the night sky. As he darted through the clouds his thoughts raced " This is a strange feeling I'm having….I have been faced with some of the most powerful and evil warriors in the universe but this is the first time I have ever truly been scared like this...Whatever this may be I have to stop it and I have to do it as soon as I can.."

The sun began to slowly rise upon the area of the Gizard Wasteland as Towa made her way to the sight where Frieza had landed all those years ago. " Now I know it has to be around here somewhere..This is where the computer said it would be." It wasn't long until the blue skinned woman came upon a clearing that housed many half buried metal shards. " Ah...here we are. That must be what was left of that buffoons ship. Now all I have left to do is locate some of his Dna."

Towa held her hand out in front of herself and a small device appeared in her palm. " Now finding any of Frieza's organic material should be simple." The woman chuckled smugly and began scanning the area until the sound of feet landing on the rocky terrain behind her caught her attention. Without raising her eyes from her device she spoke to her visitor. " I was not expecting any company...I would advise you to move along young man as I do not have the time to waste on you nor the patience.."

Gohan stood strong and kept his eyes locked on the strange woman. The guardian noticed that she was a thin but shapely woman with some interesting features. He noticed that she had longer pointed ears as well as dark sharp nails accompanied by a strange shade of pale blue colored skin. He didn't think the woman looked too threatening and he could feel that he held the clear advantage in power but one thing he had learned long ago was to never underestimate a beautiful woman, 18 had shown him that long ago and left a scar across his face to remind him of the lesson.

" Who are you and what are you doing on my planet? I will not tolerate anything that will disrupt the peace here.." Gohan's eyes and tone were harsh and firm as he watched the woman carefully.

Towa finally raised her eyes to the readied warrior. " My my, what a way to greet a visitor.." Her eyes traveled to the emblem on his white cloak like uniform. " Ah..I see. You must be this planets guardian, that explains the commanding nature of your words." The woman smiled and knelt down to the sand and thrust her hand deep into it, pulling out a wet, clay-like ball. She gently squeezed the clay ball and collected its fluids in a small vial and then discarded the clay.

" To answer your question..Guardian..My name is Towa and I am a scientist from the demon realm. I have come to your planet seeking the Dna of several of the universes greatest warriors. As soon as I have the Dna I will be on my way." She flashed Gohan a smile and waited for his response.

He was surprised she was so willing to give up her information but he refused to let it keep his attention for long. " Why are you collecting Dna Towa...What is it that you are planning to do?."

" Wow you are a curious little pest aren't you." she chuckled " Well fine I will tell you. I am collecting Dna so I can create the most powerful warrior that the universe has ever seen. Once I do that then the universe will be mine.." A shrill laugh echoed throughout the canyon and forced Gohan to grit his teeth in anger.

" I've known your kind before….You are all the same. What is it that makes ruling the universe so appealing..all any of you ever do is harm people and that is something I simply can't allow. I am going to give you one chance to abandon your plans and return back where you came from. If you do not, I promise I will stop you here and now...The choice is yours demon." Gohan prepared himself for combat as he knew that they never took the easiest option.

Towa began to laugh uncontrollably at the guardians demands. " You..you are quite the comedian. Its a shame I will have to destroy you." Before Towa could react Gohans fist had slammed into her belly and sent her staggering backwards. As the guardian pressed forward Towa landed a stiff blow of her own to the demi-saiyans face. " You will regret that you piece of filth" she yelled before mounting her own aggressive attack.

Gohan dodged a swift punch from the demoness and landed a powerful kick to cheek that sent her tumbling to the ground. Towa looked up at the guardian in amazement, she had never seen someone this powerful in person. " He is powerful and I know he is holding back the bulk of his power but he doesn't have the traits that I am looking for in my warriors...I know what he would be perfect for though…"

The scuffed up beauty pushed herself back to her feet and watched as the guardian landed just a couple feet in front of her. " You are quite good guardian..join me and be my personal guard." her cocky smile spread across her face.

Gohan shook his head from side to side " No thanks, Im already employed…" his gaze never left the deep purple colored eyes of his opponent.

" You see young warrior….I wasn't asking.." Her smile disappeared and at a shocking pace the demoness phased behind the guardian, her hand outstretched and her long spear forming in her palm out of thin air. Before Gohan could react Towa had jammed the long tip of the spear into his spine causing him collapse onto his hands and knees and scream out in pain. Towa smiled and let her spear disappear " You see young warrior, I have implanted technology deep into the marrow of your spine and in just a few moments your mind will be mine and only mine. You will do as I say and when I say to do it...Are we clear?"

Another pained scream erupted from the demi-saiyans lips. " You….monster..you can't…" Gohan collapsed onto the ground before he could finish his sentence and Towa looked on in approval. " You will come to find out guardian….I can do whatever I want.."
