Hey, Wykid here. Now I'm sure you've read this story before. Yeah.. it's my first DBZ fanfic, I deleted it and decided to repost it under my new name. Hope I didn't break any rules, I honestly didn't intend to, I just wanted this story completely under my new name and to give it another chance in the lime light (I didn't touch the story, simply the intros and ending summaries).
Also I don't own DBZ or anything related to it. Just the following storyline.
Enjoy and please give me a review of what you think, I, like any other writer, thrive on reviews.
Chapter 1: Short lived Peace
It is now a few weeks after Cell was defeated. Things seem to be simpler, life was good. Everyone is healed now either with the use of Sensu beans or natural healing. Gohan has spent a majority of his time studying just as Chi Chi wished. Piccolo is being Piccolo, finding different sparsely populated areas on earth to train and meditate. Krillin has been seeing Android 18 as of late, either training (Despite his fear of her brute force) or getting to know each other as individuals. Tien decided to drift away from the Z fighter scene by traveling a far distance from everyone to train with Chaoutzu, his best friend, after his and Chaoutzu's heart warming departure, Yamcha broke away from fighting all together, spending time with Puar and more on his personal life on earth. Vegeta remains in isolation, consistently pushing himself to new heights in the Gravity Room located across from the Capsule Corp where he lives with Bulma and their baby Trunks. Vegeta has unintentionally repeated the tradition to where Saiyan parents do not pay too much attention to their children. Android 17 seldom visits Android 18, and even when he does, he doesn't intend nor attempt to socialize himself with the Z fighters. The scene shows Gohan sitting at his desk with his head resting in the palm of his hand, his muscular arm propped up on the desk at which he is writing on. He takes a rare second to glance out of the window and watch a flock of birds swoop by before taking a good look at the outside world in which he feels so torn apart from. He sighs and groans before leaning back in his chair, placing himself at risk if Chi Chi were to ever enter the room. Gohan mumbles to himself.
Gohan: This is boring.
Just then, the gloomy face of Gohan quickly stretches into joy when a deep raspy voice enters his mind from seemingly no where. Gohan immediately recognizes this grunt-like voice.
???: You're not going to be someone to rely on next time if this is all you're going to do.
Gohan: Piccolo!
Just then, cloak and all, there appears Piccolo at his window with his arms folded, he doesn't exactly look happy, his stern facial expression brings pure seriousness to the situation.
Piccolo: Gohan, you have to realize that you are possibly our strongest player at the moment.
Piccolo almost gains a smile, yet it turns out as a smirk as Gohan lightens himself up with a grin of his own.
Piccolo: If you want to continue that rank, then you need to keep active.
Gohan: Oh... but I can't... mom won't let me.
Gohan leans over the desk as shadows dominate the lower half of his face.
Piccolo: Gohan, since when did you let studying stop you from protecting the earth?
A moment of silence passes as Gohan lets Piccolo's words sink deep within him. Before he can respond, a concerned Chi Chi enters the room.
Gohan: I guess I'd have to thank dad for the majority of the times that I've been able to fight... now that he's not here...
Chi Chi abruptly interrupts Gohan.
Chi Chi: Gohan, who are you talking to?
Gohan's mouth stretches nearly a mile wide, displaying gritted teeth as his eyes narrow in guilt that he wasn't studying.
Gohan:... Um... Er... Well... hahaha...
He glances over at the window where he expects Piccolo to be, only to find a clear view of the outside world once more, no Piccolo whatsoever.
Chi Chi: Gohan, who were you talking too!?
Gohan:... Nobody mom, just reading something...
Chi Chi: Oh my! I hope all of this studying isn't wearing down your mind completely! You're talking to yourself!
Gohan thinks silently to himself, placing blame on Piccolo.
Oh man, thanks for backing me up on that one Piccolo!
Gohan then raises a desperate and rather brave idea.
Gohan: So mom, do you think I can go outside for a while?
Chi Chi: AND WHAT FIGHT WITH YOUR WHACKO FRIENDS!?
She leans over Gohan, screaming at the top of her lungs as he nearly falls back in the wooden chair raising an arm in defense.
Gohan: No mom... really I just need some air!
Chi Chi takes a moment to herself, once calmed down she debated on the idea to herself, yet outloud.
Chi Chi: Well... You have been working very hard lately...
Gohan's face displays every single trait of anticipation as he leans forword himself.
Chi Chi: Ok.. but be back before the sun sets!
Gohan: YEAH! Ok mom, thanks!
Chi Chi smiles as her heart warms and she moves in for a warm hug, that is before Gohan zips straight out of the window and is out of sight within mere seconds, she falls on over on the desk, knocking the chair over as the result of the hug that didn't connect.
Chi Chi: ARRRGGGH! I let him go and I don't get so much as a hug! That teaches me to let him go out with his bizarre alien friends...
----------
Gohan is seen floating in the air with a big ole smile smacked on his face, it seems that no one could ever remove it. Gohan twirls and whirls around a few times to fully enjoy the fact that he was free.
Gohan: Alright! This is more like it...
He swoops up to halt in mid air before scanning the area.
Gohan: Now where is Piccolo?
He searches around a few seconds more before snapping over toward his right with a huge grin.
Gohan: That must be him!
---------------------
He then zips on off in the distance of his location before the scene cuts on over to Bulma who is trying to comfort a furious baby trunks. She keeps gently bouncing him around in her arm, before trying to feed him.
Bulma: Oh geez... give mommy a break will you Trunks?
Trunks doesn't really react besides crying his eyes out along with the ear buzzing screaming.
Bulma: I THOUGHT I WAS MARRIED DURING ALL OF THIS! Where is Vegeta? VEGETA!!!
Just then, her phone added its ringing to the multiple clashing of noises, she picks up the phone.
Bulma: WHAT!?
Krillin responds with a "eek" before pushing the phone away from his head, he waits a few seconds before placing it against his head once more.
Krillin: Uh.. Bulma... sorry for bothering you, but have you seen Gohan?
Bulma: Gohan? Why would Gohan be here?
Krillin: Well Chi Chi's getting kinda desperate, she called me... and told me to help her spread the word that Gohan needs to be home as soon as possible...
Bulma: Oh Krillin... so easy to be pushed around...
Krillin: Whaaaat-ever, I'd rather face a super saiyan than you two ole broads any day of the week.
Bulma: OLD!?.... OOOOOOOLD!?
Krillin once again has to jerk away from the phone before trying to reason with the frustrated Bulma.
Krillin: No.. NO that's not what I meant.. What I mea...
Just then Vegeta enters the room where the crying baby is tormenting Bulma's ears. Bulma notices him instantly and approaches him with fire in her eyes.
Bulma: Where have you been?
Vegeta: Woman, you know darn well where I've been, the gravity room doesn't turn on all by itself you know. Besides, Your constant nagging drives me to the extent of complete insanity!
Bulma: Oh! It's all about Prince Vegeta and his daily training, nothing else matters to you Vegeta!
Vegeta simply grunts before folding his arms and walking away.
Krillin:... Did I call at a bad time?
Bulma: Ugh... ask Vegeta, he knows all about you fighters..
Vegeta comes to a halt, dead in his tracks before glancing over his shoulder.
Vegeta: What? Who is that?
Bulma: It's Krillin! He wants to know where Gohan is.
Vegeta: Gohan!? How should I know?
Bulma: Well don't scream at me.. tell him!
Bulma extends her arm in which the phone is shoved into Vegeta's chest, he mumbles under his breath before lifting the phone to the side of his head.
Vegeta: What do you want weakling?
Krillin:... Well hello to you too Vegeta, I was jus...
Vegeta: And I don't know where Kakarot's kid is! Anything else baldy?
Krillin: Hey! I'm on the road to growing my hair back!
Just then a click is heard on Krillin's end.
Krillin: Hello?... Hello!?
Just then the constant beeping sound plays over and over again signalling that Vegeta has hung up on him. Krillin sighs and hangs up the phone himself.
Krillin: Well, if you want to do something right, you gotta do it yourself... Man these women push me around too much, and Vegeta isn't the nicest guy either.
With that he tightens his belt with a quick jerk in opposite direction before running out of his house and zooming off into the sky.
---------
We now catch up with Gohan who is still on heading toward the energy source that he sensed earlier. He finally comes to a sudden stop and lowers into the woods, once there, he scans the habitat before spotting Piccolo hovering over a rock, clearly lost in his intense meditation. he appears to have a white aura around him as his face becomes more stern by the second. Gohan watches, impressed to say the least. Piccolo exerts a gust of wind as the aura glows brighter and grows wider. Gohan has to cover his face as best as possible, he squints his eyes to see. Piccolo gradually comes to a rest, the aura dies down to apparent nothingness as he floats on over to flat ground, lowering himself to make his stand. Gohan greets him with a grin and an extended hand, in which Piccolo accepts and shakes.
Gohan: Piccolo, you haven't slowed down a bit.
Piccolo: Too bad I can't say the same for you, Gohan.
Gohan regains that gloomy face once more as he gazes down at the waving grass.
Gohan: Piccolo... Mom wants me to go to college, I can't help it!
Piccolo: I suppose so...
As the facial expressions swing back and forth, Gohan gains another priceless grin.
Gohan: But now that we're out here we can train!
Piccolo: Not exactly Gohan... This is serious.
Gohan: What?... What are you talking about Piccolo?
Piccolo: Follow me, you have to see something for yourself. We may already be in another troubled spot.
Gohan: WHAT!? But we just finished Cell, how can there be another problem already!?!?
Piccolo: Just follow...
Piccolo is lifted off the ground as if by magic, he then rushes off surrounded by a ball of white aura, Gohan gains his own aura of blue and then races off to follow Piccolo.
What could this mean for Earth? Yeah, starts out pretty slow, but I think this pre-plot stuff is important, the story will pick up soon enough. Hope you enjoyed the exposition of this story. This is Wykid signing out for now.
