Me: Hi Everyone, I'm Android 24 and welcome to my first fanfic!

Tai: Unfortunately I'm the one doing the writting for the first while, since this basically revolves round me and 24's lives.

Me: And just how, pray tell, is that unfortunate?

Tai: Because I have to sit in front of a computer for Dende knows how long, typing up my life's story when I have better things to do.

Me: Oh lighten up, I mean how bad could it be?

Tai: Very.

Me: Well too bad, you're going to stay there until these parts are done, or no G.R. for a week.

Tai: (Growls, then whispers in a low voice) Dende…I swear sometimes she's as bad as Chi-Chi, perhaps worse.

Me: What was that?!

Tai: Nothing.

Me: Good well get to writing!

Tai: Fine but first things first.

Now enjoy the story :-)

Becoming a Saiyan:

"Tai, wake up!" The sound of my mother's frantic yelling awoke me.

"What is it mom?" I asked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"Don't ask questions! We have to get out of here, the slave raiders are coming!" My mother yelled

I immediatly jolted up from my bed, making my mother stumble back a few steps.

The slave raiders are a group of people who raid villages for any able people to people as slaves. I quickly abandoned my bed and grabbed my mother's hand, pulling her to the door of our house. Hastily, my mother and I threw on our coats and made a break for it. We kept running as fast as we could, me, getting ahead my mom. As we continued to run from the place we called home, I turned around and saw one of the raiders ridding a horse towards us.

"Faster mom! There's a raider heading for us!" I yelled

My mother was running as fast as she could, but it wasn't enough, the raider was gaining and more were heading in our direction when they saw why one of their own was coming in this direction..

"Thought you could get away huh?!" one of the raiders yelled, grabbing my mother and throwing her on the back of his horse.

"Mom!" I yelled

I stopped and watched as the raider with my mom rode off while the others kept coming. They jumped off their horses made a break for me. One thing about raiders is that they are very skilled hand-to-hand combat as well as horse ridding. As they kept running towards me, I braced myself for their attack. I'm also quite good at marital arts as well, although I'm the only one that knows this because my mom is more interested in my studies.

The first raider that reached me, threw a punch or my face. I quickly leaned my head to the side to dodge it and kneed him in the stomach, he went down…hard.

I let out a shallow laugh at this, at how easy that was.

"Why you little!" Another one of the raiders yelled, running for me.

When he reached me he tried to kick me in the stomach, but I grabbed his foot, threw him in the air and made him spin like a Ferris wheel.

The third raider looked at me, turned and ran.

"That's right you scum...run!" I yelled while checking the raiders to see if they were dead.

I put one finger to the side of their necks and felt a slight pulse

"No, they're just unconscious." I thought as I saw more raiders ridding towards me.

"You idiots just don't give up do you?" I said I got into my martial stance.

Before they could reach me something crashed into in front of them causing a bright light to emminate from it, i covered my eyes with my arm and waited for the light to dissapate. When it was alright for me to look, i saw most of the raiders, laying dead in the dirt, I looked up to where the thing came from and saw a man floating in the air. He began to descend to the ground.

"Are you okay?" He asked

I almost let my shock show on my face but quickly fixed that and put back on a blank look.

"Yeah, I could have dealt with them myself you know." I said trying to defend my pride.

"What's going on here?" The guy asked.

"First things first" I said " "what's your name" I asked, pointing a finger at him.

"My names Gohan." He answered

I looked him over he was wearing an orange outfit and pants with a deep blue shirt and boot and armbands; he also had relatively short, black hair.

"I'm Tai, how did you do that?" I asked

The man named Gohan shook his head.

"Not here, it's better to get somewhere safe." Gohan said

I looked behind us and saw a lot more raiders coming.

"Good idea, just how do you propose we do that, I can't fly." I pointed out

Gohan thought for a moment, as the raiders got closer and closer with every second. The when the raiders were a few meters away his face lit up.

"Here climb on my back." Gohan said, bending down.

I did as he said and got on his back, then the next thing I know, we're 200 feet above the ground and flying at jet speed.

Silence Reigned for a while before Gohan broke it.

"So what's your name again?" Gohan asked

I stalled for a moment.

"Tai." I answered

"Tai, huh? It's got a nice ring to it." Gohan said

Sielence reigned for a few more moments.

"So how did you get mixed up with those creeps?" Gohan asked

"They're slave raiders, they raid villages and take any people who can do work, and sell them to people as slaves, and they were raiding my village." I said

"I see." Gohan said

"They…took my Mother." I said with difficulty

"I'm sorry." Gohan said trying to cheer me up.

After a while we finally started to slow down and descend to the ground outside of a little house in the woods.

"Follow me." Gohan said motioning for me to follow.

Well that's the chapter for now...so R&R and let 24 and I know what you think.

(I walk in)

Me: Yeah and try to keep the crtiscism to a minimum, this is, after all my first fic and Tai's first time using a computer.

Tai: I've used computer's before!

Me: Yeah like once and that time you punched it in frustration.

Tai: Whatever, what she's trying to say is you can rate and review but be nice about the suggestions, no flames please but suggestions and light criticism are appreciated!

Me: (Hugs Tai) See we do understand eachother!

Tai: (Sighs) Dende help me.

Me: Tai should have the next chapter up sometime this weekend so until next time, dear readers, Arigatto!
