Prologue:
Earth… A bluish green planet in the Milky Way… A planet attacked many a times by evil minds wanting to take control over the whole universe, but always been saved by the mighty Z warriors; Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotsu, Yamcha, Gohan, Trunks, Goten and believe it or not, Yacharobi too.
3 years have passed since the evil Majin Buu's death. The fight with that creature made the Z warriors attain new heights;
Goku went on to discover new boundaries of power in his spiritual form… Yamcha learnt that fighting is not everything; Tien and Chiaotsu became greater friends… Piccolo, the evil part of Kami, became a better person, and Vegeta, once an evil Saiyan Warrior with the dream of ruling the universe, found the love inside his heart for his son, Trunks, and wife, Bulma. They all learnt something or the other with their experiences…
Chapter 1: A New Threat
"Hey honey! I am going shopping; can you please hang out the clothes for me? Bye!" Bulma said as she went out and banged the door.
Vegeta who was on the sofa, relaxing, looked at Trunks, "Sometimes I don't get it why I married your mother!" he said frowning.
"Coz you love her dad" Trunks replied almost instantly.
Vegeta looked at his son and gave him a smile. He had grown into a fine lad with the facial expressions of her mother and strength like his dad. In school he was the second Bulma and in the battle fields a second Vegeta, only a little less stubborn and arrogant.
"Well, I got school. Will see ya later!" he picked up his bag and got up.
"You know you could just teleport" Vegeta said as he stretched his arms
"I know, but I prefer the car! Bye…" Trunks said and left…
"Huh! Kids! Now where did Bulma kept the basket of clothes? Ah… there it is!"
It was a fine summer day. The sun was shining brightly on the East City. One could hear the faint speech of the new Mayor Hercule in the back ground.
"Hello Mr. Vegeta! Lovely day isn't it?" said Mr. Togby, the nosy neighbour, as Vegeta felt, contrary to his family.
"If it weren't for Bulma you would have been toast to talk to the Saiyan Prince like that…" he thought and pressed a button near the door. A string shot out, hooking itself to the nearest tree…
"A new invention of your wife I see. A lovely lady she is…"
Vegeta looked at him sharply and was about to give him a piece of his mind but suddenly…
"Hh! What... What was that?" He turned around as he sensed a huge power level, much higher than that of himself and also of ... Goku's.
"It can't be... is it...Majin buu! No! He was destroyed. Then what is it?"
Suddenly he sensed the thing coming right towards him…
"Damn it! It's approaching me...All right then, I guess its time..." Vegeta dropped the basket full of clothes and transformed himself into Super Saiyan level 1. Mr. Togby unaware of Vegeta's alien bequest got the shock of his life and ran in his capsule house slamming the door behind him as hard as he could…
Vegeta waited for his opponent to approach, but suddenly…
"Kakarot! What's ... what..."
Goku quickly held his hand and used his instant transmission to teleport him onto Supreme Kai's planet...
"Kakarot! What was that...Did you sense it?"
"Yes, I sensed him… Supreme Kai wanted us to see him for the same".
The Kai's were divided into groups, each having their own planet and their own specialties… Supreme Kai was the eldest of the lot and also the creator of the Z Sword.
He came out of his quarters, "I am glad Goku and Vegeta you could come on such short notice"
"What was that?" enquired Vegeta with a hasty look on his face, he had transformed into his normal form…
"A warrior, like none other…" Supreme Kai replied calmly and continued, "The creature you sensed, his name is Ornichi..."
"Ornichi?" Vegeta and Goku said together and looked at each other. Suddenly, Gohan and Trunks also arrived over there, with Hercule...
"Hey what's the damn big idea Hercule, I was at school!?" Trunks shouted...
"Dad! Vegeta! What's...? What's going on?" Gohan asked bowing quietly to Supreme Kai…
"Gohan be quiet! Listen to Supreme Kai…" Goku said looking at his youth son.
Gohan had grown into a strong fighter with an equally good heart, just like his dad. He was a great son, brother and an even greater boyfriend to his love interest, Videl.
Supreme Kai looked at them all and with a deep breath and continued, "You won't believe this but …Ornichi is a Saiyan!"
Goku was shocked, "What? A Saiyan? But how can that be…"
"He was not born one, he wished for it..." Supreme Kai said ignoring Goku's shocked look
"I don't understand... how can anyone wish to be a Saiyan?" Trunks asked Gohan. He shook his head.
Vegeta continued, "So what does he want?"
"You!" Supreme Kai said looking at the 4 Saiyans who couldn't understand what he meant
"What... do you mean by us?" Trunks asked
"By you, I mean you!" he replied
Trunks looked at his dad... Vegeta shrugged…
"So, you mean he wants us... For?" Gohan asked with a calm face although he was as confused as everyone there…
"He wished to be a Saiyan from the dragon balls of Namek... He left the planet thinking he's the strongest, which he was, till Goku managed to transform himself into Super Saiyan three..."
"Hah! Kakarot! Always the trouble maker" Vegeta interfered... Goku passed him a cold look...
Supreme Kai ignored him and continued, "Ornichi could only reach Super Saiyan 2... In order to complete the third stage of transformation, he needs power from all four of you…"
"So, why did his power seem so strong?" asked Vegeta...
Supreme Kai's usually calm face suddenly turned stern, "That's the main thing Prince..." Vegeta on hearing his old title gave a slick smile...
"Ornichi needed you all when he was in his Galaxy, the Armanebla, which continuously absorbs energy…"
Gohan suddenly felt the chill in his spine, "So you mean..."
Supreme Kai looked at him and nodded, "Yes Gohan, Ornichi while in his Galaxy is a mere SS2, but here, in ours... He may even surpass the SS4..."
Goku, Vegeta, Trunks and Gohan, all looked at each other...
Supreme Kai continued, "He realized this when he entered our solar system. Now, he wants to dominate the universe…"
"Another plan of universal domination is it not?" Trunks interfered, "Don't they ever give up? He can't be stronger than Brolly… We will defeat him just like that… After all we haven't been sitting on our behinds for the past three years, right guys?" He said with a rather disgusted look.
"I appreciate your feelings Trunks, but if it were that easy, I wouldn't have bothered calling you all here in the first place. His power is something you haven't experienced before and he might fulfill his plans, if we don't defeat him soon…"
Gohan looked at Trunks and said "But how?"
Goku added "We don't even know anything about him!"
Supreme Kai looked at them and said, "Then I suppose its time that you learn about Ornichi…"
