Two Worlds…One Hero
Chapter 1: The Landing of the Saiyans
It was the year 2047. This was the year the first super speed hovercraft was built at the famous Capsule Corporation. Here worked Bulma Briefs, a young blue haired scientist, along with her mother and father. Capsule Corporation was the most popular and most famous of all science corporations. Not only did they build machines there, they used scientific knowledge and skills that changed the way of life. Not too far away stood the Governor's household. The large home was home to the Governor and his two children…Yamcha and Chichi Maokin. With Bulma, Yamcha would help out down the corporation whilst Chichi would deal with political issues with her father. Chichi, being the youngest of the trio, was smart, enthusiastic and very strong minded.
It was late lunchtime, when the three decided to take a walk along the countryside, far away from the city life.
The loved up couple lingered behind as young Chichi walked on ahead, letting the wind blow through her long midnight hair. She let her fingers run through the long grass as the cool air kissed her delicate skin. Everything was perfect she thought. The sun was beaming down and the sky was blue with hardly a cloud in sight. Nothing could go wrong.
The three were happily walking along the Avon River when suddenly Yamcha stopped. The two girls also stopped with a curious expression.
"Yamcha?" Bulma asked in concern, "What is it?" Yamcha didn't answer; instead his focus remained on the sky above. Naturally Bulma copied his actions. Chichi also wondered what he could see or what he could feel. She hadn't yet mastered her Ki inside her body, and so she depended on her brother to feel things out. The two girls patiently watched the sky, expecting something to fall out. What they were waiting for they didn't know. Then suddenly, after moments of unbearable patience, something emerged from the blueness of the sky.
It was nothing any of them had seen before. It must have been something from another planet. Frightened yet curious, they watched as a large space craft slowly revealed itself from the small area of clouds to gravely land on the solid earth. The space craft was humungous; it would easily beat a skyscraper in height and width. This was definitely an unbelievable sight. It was white with black edges and yellow circular shapes going around the sides. Yamcha pulled the two girls behind him for protection and prepared himself for whatever came out of the space craft's layer.
As the monstrosity touched down, its landing struts came into view. The once perfectly cut grass was ripped from the roots and blown away by the ship's powerful turbines, the muddy rocks were struck with robust gusts of wind and then thrown aside. The aircraft soon came to rest and the power and noise of the mighty turbines ceased to be.
All was quiet for several long minutes. Yamcha had the urge to take the two girls and run for cover. Something about the ship gave him a bad feeling. But once a large opening in the space ship became visible, Yamcha decided to run now. The large metallic door gravely folded down and light could be seen inside.
"Yamcha…I told you aliens would invade one day" Bulma squealed in fright. Yamcha gulped and held her close.
Their thoughts were soon interrupted when a shadowy figure came into view. The figure was tall, well built and he had the appearance of a human.
"Okay, these aren't the aliens I was expecting. Where are the antennas, the green skin and the three eyes?"
"Bulma they are just fairy Tales!" Yamcha replied, also quite shocked by the so called 'Alien's' appearance. Not long after, a few more emerged, but these didn't look as evil and as ruthless as the first.
The tall creature looked around curiously. He wore steel armour over his muscular chest and tight strong trousers with metal plated boots. His hair was long and black with occasional spikes, and he wore some kind of computer device over his left eye.
"Perfect" he whispered, "Not only is this planet decent, but it will be easy to find the Golden Spheres"
Yamcha watched as the tall creature looked around the area, and as Yamcha scanned over the creature's body, his eyes were blinded by fear.
"Oh no" he whispered.
"What is it?" asked his young sister.
"He has a tail"
"And?" Bulma questioned.
"He is what they call…a Saiyan" The two girls froze.
"I've heard stories about them" Bulma whispered, "and how they destroyed most of our planet hundreds of years ago. They killed so many people and wrecked their homes. They were animals"
"That is literally true. At night, something happens to them…and they become out of control and annihilate everything in their path. And this is for no actual purpose, just to feed their hunger for blood…and death"
"That's horrible" Bulma cried, holding herself for security. Chichi sank down. She had heard many stories of the Saiyans, but never by her brother. She had questioned him on several occasions about them but he would refuse to talk about them and tell her that speaking about them was forbidden in their world.
The Saiyan creature smiled.
"Gardo! Come here!" he ordered, causing another tail intact creature to come forth.
"Yes your Greatness" he spoke coldly.
"Search the perimeter. I want to know what inhabitants live here"
"Yes my lord" he replied, signalling two others to search in other directions.
"No Gardo" he corrected, "I want you to go that way" he finished eyeing the shadowy trees, "I smell something" he said, looking down at his scrawny henchman, smiling wickedly. Gardo smirked evilly in return and began to walk in the direction of the trees. Yamcha panicked.
"He knows we're here" he whispered, with sweat drops forming on his head.
"What? That's impossible!" Chichi argued.
"You forget what he is Chi…he doesn't need eyes to see us" Yamcha reminded her, "Now keep down and follow me" Yamcha ordered.
Gardo was very close now, and carefully he sniffed out the scent.
"Aah" he gasped, "I smell flesh" he carefully glanced over the small bushes, still letting his nose gain authority over his other senses. Yamcha and the girls quietly crawled away from the Saiyan. But as Bulma crawled behind the other two she kneeled on a stone and squeaked in pain. Gardo turned to where the whimper came from and sniffed the air. He smiled evilly and ambled in the direction of the thorn bush where the two girls lay. Chichi had her hand over Bulma's mouth, trying to silence her whimpers. Yamcha was further ahead of them, and hiding under a small Corp Tree which actually brought luck to those who grew them.
"Chichi…we're going to die" Bulma cried, tears cascading down her frightened face.
"No we are not…now keep quiet. You must be quiet Bulma" Chichi whispered.
Yamcha began to breathe fast and sweat dropped from his forehead. He had to think of something fast or his girlfriend and sister were in trouble. He had no plan and no ideas but he had to save them. He stood up from his crouched position and shouted "Hey you!" Gardo turned to face the stranger and he growled at him. Yamcha ran as fast as he could away from the two girls and towards the river. Maybe if he could loose the Saiyan in the thickets near by, the girls would be out of harms reach. But his plan proved weak from the start. Gardo pounced a few feet and jumped on Yamcha's back, sending the smaller man to the ground.
"No!" Bulma cried standing up, soon getting pulled down by her skirt by Chichi.
"No Bulma! Yamcha told us to stay here!"
"But he's gonna kill him. That thing's gonna kill my Yamcha!"
"He'll be fine. My brother can take care of himself!" "Be positive will you!" Chichi ordered, trying to stay positive herself.
Gardo took the creature by his jumper and through him to the ground. The next thing Yamcha knew was that he was looking down, at the feet of their leader.
