A Whole New Era 1

This is my first fic, so be kind, R&R please! It's a whole new take on DBZ, I call it DBNE, Dragon Ball New Era, or Next Era.

Disclaimer: All the ideas of DragonBall Z characters belong to Akira Toriyama, the MAN! The family I created, Kae, Sonel, Godak, Tan, Leela, and Kale were all my conception!

A Whole New Era

Chapter 1

"RRING!" The last bell of the day rang, and the school doors opened. Kae and Tan were the first one's running out, really happy, since it was the beginning of their spring break. "Catcha later, Tan!" Yelled Kae. "Sure thing man!" Yelled Tan. They went their separate ways, and Kae, feeling that the coast was clear, flew the rest of the way home.

She threw open the door, and sure enough, the presence she sensed was there, Sonel, waiting on the couch. "Hey!" Sonel said happily. He was already in his fighting outfit, wearing the traditional orange and blue. "Yo!" Replied Kae, giving him a big hug. "Gimme a sec!" She ran into her room and locked the door. She flipped on the stereo, threw off her school uniform, and then got into her fighting clothes: a blue outfit and red wrist pads and red shoes. Now she was ready…

Sonel brought his hands forward. "Ka…Me… Ha…Me…HA!" He fired a small kamehameha wave at Kae. She took a couple of deep breaths, saw the attack, the jumped to dodge it. "Ha ha!" laughed Kae. "You're way too slow." "Oh yeah?" Sonel questioned. He rushed forward and threw a frenzy of punches. Kae dodged them all, but the last one caught her off-guard and got her in the side of the face. She fell backwards, but not without returning the favor by kicking Sonel in the stomach. They both fell over.

"Damn!" Says an out-winded Sonel. "Heh! That was good." Kae said, also catching her breath. "Let's take a break." Kae and Sonel had been training seven hours straight. "HEY KIDS!" Yelled Kae's mom, Leela, "DINNE…(WHOOSH!) Whoa! Okay." Kae's dad, Godak, was already at the table, spoon and fork in hand. Kae and Sonel quickly joined him.

"Thanks again for letting me train a while here with Kae." Sonel said, giving Kae a little sideward glance. "No Problem, Sonel." Replied Godak, "Family is always welcome here." Sonel is Kae's cousin, but the way they acted, it seemed like they could be brother and sister. They were really close to each other, and loved training together, too. "I can't wait to take a shot at fighting you, Sonel." Godak joked. "Heh! No way!" Sonel said, "You'd ground me to a pulp!" "Oh yeah…" joined in Kae.
