Dragonball Z: Hidden Behind Blue Eyes - Prologue

A/N: I do not own DBZ!

Eight year old Goku walked out of his house.

"Oh wow! Look at that Grandpa, the sun sure is bright this morning!" He said to the dragonball he had on the table on its red pillowcase. "Well I'm hungry! I'll be back as soon as I get some fish!" He said grabbing his power pole and strapping it on to his back as he went outside.

Unknown to him, a hunter was chasing a lion cub through the forest. His friend was driving the jeep as he was in the driver passenger seat loading his shotgun. He took aim making sure to get the lion cub hurt so he could watch it die, and went to pull the trigger when the jeep ran over a rock messing up his aim.

"DARN IT THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT! YA BLEW IT! PARK THIS DAMN VEHICLE!"

"FINE! SINCE YA HATE MY DRIVING! YOU CAN DRIVE!"

"HEY! YOU TWO! I BET YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HURTING HER AREN'T YOU!" Goku shouted as he came on scene where the wounded lion cub was lying on the ground with blood coming from her left shoulder. She knew Goku very well and so made sure to stay put when he said to.

"Yeah we did, what of it kiddo?" Said the man who shot her.

"Yeah it's just a dumb animal." The driver said standing next to his partner with his own shotgun.

"YOU TWO ARE EVIL! I DON'T LIKE YOU!" Goku said as he charged at the men, with his right fist he took out the driver and threw him in to his partner making both crash in to the side of their car, leaving a huge dent, and making three tires go flat.

"Awww mama he's a freak!" Said the driver as he and his partner got in to the car and drove off.

"We're nevah comin' back!" The guy's partner shouted taking a part his gun, and regretting coming here. The guys then began to try to run away as a flash of white disintegrated the car, and the men inside it.

"Poor kitty, hold on I'll help you, let's see where is that plant? Ah ha! There it is!" Goku said as he saw the plant he wanted and plucked the leaves and crushed them. He then put the sap and leaves on to the little cat's wound when he sensed someone behind him, turning around he was surprised to see a tall boy with blue-bell purple hair with the same color of eyes and cream white skin, he wore a dark sapphire blue silk long sleeve shirt with matching pants, and a thin gold chain for a belt, his feet were bare, and his wings were emerald, and each feather lined with gold and gave off tiny multi-colored sparkles of light that changed color as he walked up to Goku and the big cat.

"There you are! I have been worried sick about you Simba!"

"Is he yours?" Goku asked feeling this man's aura and knowing that he was a good person, who was truly worried about his pet, as he knelt down across from him looking at the cat with caring eyes.

"Yes, he ran off and never returned. I came looking for him. Thank you for tending to his wound." He said as he picked up the little cat and turned to leave when he stopped and turned to Goku. "What is your name Little One?"

"My name is Goku!" He said cheerfully to the young man.

"Goku, tell me do you have a wish that I can grant you in return for helping Simba?"

"WOW! A WISH! Ah let's see…oh I know! I want to protect my friends always, no matter what!" Goku thinking of all the people he met on his great dragonball adventure: Bulma, Yawmcha, Puar, Korin, Krillen, Master Roshi, Oolong, Turtle, Launch, and Tien, and every other nice person that had helped and aided them on their adventure.

"Are you sure Goku?" He had to admit he was surprised considering he was expecting from the child the usual wishes: a bunch of toys, money to buy toys, no more parents/siblings: the usual wishes a child would make.

"Yeah!" Goku happily as the young man narrowed his eyes.

"Goku before I make this wish for you, may I hold your hand?"

"Uh…okay." Goku said as he gave him his hand, the man held it as if he was going to shake it and closed his eyes. In his mind he saw everything this man could do with and without his wish. No matter what he saw he ended up with the same result: he would defend his friends and family with everything that he was, and he would take care of them even if it meant coming back to life to save them.

He opened his eyes and let go of Goku's hand, "Alright Goku, I will grant you this wish."

"YAY! THANK YOU!" Goku said as he jumped up and down in excitement and anticipation.

The man put his hand out and a blue orb was formed by his energy and went straight in to Goku's chest.

TEN YEARS LATER

"A shooting star-like object was seen through a telescope at Astronomy Tower hitting Satellite Four, damage to the satellite is so severe that we must go up and retrieve it." Astronomy Employee Lady spoke with a almost masculine voice, in a business manner in front of a huge screen that was showing pictures of the damage satellite to her fellow co-workers in a meeting room.

"What exactly hit it? And what's the damage?" Astronomy male employee asked sitting nearest to her at the huge round table where the others were in business attire.

"We have concluded that it was an extended prominence- for those of you who have forgotten, those are the sun streamers that usually are arc in shape that extend over one thousand miles or more above the surface of the sun. Observed on the face of the sun they usually appear like a dark thread or filament. The appearance of one of these may last days even weeks before sinking back beneath the lower atmosphere. The damage that we saw on the satellite monitor indicated extreme thermal energy resonation, high enough to which we believe one of these did hit the satellite. We noticed that the satellite immediately stopped working due to being melted beyond repair in matter of microseconds." She said as she used her laptop to switch to another picture showing a black object that was so melted and dark that it just looked like a larva rock from a volcano floating in space. "If we don't, it may make contact with the Earth's atmosphere, break apart in to thousands of huge boulders, and scatter across the northern and mid-hemisphere of the Earth, killing millions possibly billions of lives."

They concluded and quickly started the project to retrieve the satellite, when a most peculiar thing occurred, the satellite broke off from its orbiting and disappeared in to space-and existence all in a blink of an eye.

The employee who had the duty to watch the monitoring screen of the satellite had been currently flirting with a female worker, and so never saw what happened, and just like everyone else couldn't explain why their was a five minute blank screen on the footage recording tape.

So the project to retrieve it had been filed as a back up plan, in case any other satellites needed to be retrieved, and the missing satellite was marked off as if it had never been.

…..

"GOKU!" His newlywed wife shouted his name from the kitchen window; ChiChi needed him to get the last bit of ingredients for dinner: mainly the fish, but Goku had been out swimming and had yet to come back. So she figured he forgot and so needed to be reminded, "GOKU!"

Goku, however, was busy lying down in the grass gazing up at the clouds. "Oh wow an apple pie! Wonder if ChiChi is done cooking…oh wow look at that, a bowl of ice cream…yummy! Let's see what el-huh?"

Goku sensed and saw a strange black dot was in the sky then fell straight in to the forest. He never sensed anything like it before and so went quickly to see what it was.

He ran through the forest heading exactly in the direction of the wounded animal and came up to the river, looking up at the waterfall then to the sky.

"It has to be somewhere around here." Just as he said this his eyes spotted something being carried up on to land by the current of the river, and was surprised to see a human. Running up to him he was immediately taken aback by the wings he saw, but then was shocked to see blood coming from the right wing. Carefully he picked up the wing, and washed it with the water from the river and then used several herbs to make a paste. Then he picked up the wing and noticed that the top arch of the wing was bleeding, but testing it he noticed it wasn't broken.

"Well that's a relief. You know I worked a lot on birds' so I have a lot of experience with fixing wings so I know this will work! You just need a place to rest, oh, speaking of birds I need to get a fish for ChiChi or else she'll kill me!" Goku as he finished putting the leaves on his wing as a bandage, he then making sure the winged human was out of the way of the water, he waded in and got a fish immediately due to the fast current coming his way because of one swimming right in to his arms.

"Aw man you are waaay to small." Goku as he tossed it back in almost immediately a giant fish dove out of the water and ate it but ended up getting caught by him. "GOTCHA! Woah, you sure are a big one aren't you?"

He floated out of the water, put on his clothes, and dragged the fish back to his "patient" to see if he was awake yet, sure enough the wings flapped a little just before the young boy opened his eyes.

"Hey! Are you alright? I fixed your wound on your wing, is it okay?" Goku asked immediately wanting to know if there was any other wound that he missed, he was sure he didn't see any other.

"…yes, I'm alright…" The masculine voice seemed to nag at Goku's mind but Goku couldn't remember where.

"My name is Son Goku! What's yours?" Goku asked as he helped the young boy to stand up.

"My name." He was interrupted when a loud screech filled the air.

"Uh Oh." Goku as he turned to his wife when his attention was caught by the shadows of the young boy raising his wings. He turned around wondering if he was going to attack him from behind but was instead surprised to see him surrounded by a gold glow. Looking at him he wondered just how old he was. He was tall for a five year old but his language was so proper, as was his behavior, that it made him wonder if he was older, even his voice was mature for his age. 'Then again, Piccolo is only one year old and he has the body and voice of a man.'

"Goku, in return for helping me, I will grant you a wish, if you have one." The boy said as he levitated a foot off the ground, by the rules if one of his kind was saved by a mortal he had to grant him a wish.

"Huh, uh…really gee…um…what to wish for…" Goku said wondering what he wanted and immediately got a thought-in fact it was on the tip of his tongue and rolled out. "You know, I would really like to have a life-long rival, one that will always give me a good fight when I really want it. Someone with as much strength as me…yeah…really stubborn, one who doesn't give up easily if he loses, and one who just wants to fight, you know like me!"

Unknown to Goku he accidentally used his empathic and psychic abilities on the man in front of him, and felt that this man was a very powerful, strong-willed fighter, one who was really mysterious too. This made Goku want to meet him again so he could fight him.

"-AND one other thing! I want you to be his son!" Goku as soon as he said it wondered at the same time, 'What the heck am I saying?'

The winged boy was already granting his wish but since he wasn't finished with it he HAD to grant it too-although it was a second wish -one that was never done before.

"Here Goku, in assurance that I granted you your wish take this." The young boy said taking a feather from his wing and gave it to him, Goku took it and glanced at it but when he went to ask a question was surprised to see the young boy was gone.
