This
takes place between DBZ and DBGT. It's about 10 years later. Videl and
Gohan are married, and Pan is born. Here's what happened to everyone…
There's some OOC, and AU
Gohan- around 25 or 26, successful scholar, trains when off work
Videl- around 25 or 26, has a degree in teaching, stay at home mom, trains
occasionally
Pan- around 3 or 4, happy baby, likes to bug Trunks and Goten-it drives
them up the wall
Goku- around late 40s early 50s, hasn't seemed to age a bit, still acts
like a kid, trains a lot
Chichi- around late 40s, early 50s, still pushy and bossy, looks older
Goten- around 16 or 17- tries to act like Trunks, tries to go on dates…most
are unsuccessful
Vegeta- around mid 50s, still is trying to catch Goku's strength, trains
extra hard, still has an attitude
Bulma- around mid 50s, hair still changes a lot, pushy, still rich, new
head of Capsule Corp.
Trunks- around 18 or 19, has his own car, dates a lot…he's a lot like a
playa, trains with Vegeta a lot
Piccolo-age unknown, Nameks don't seem to age- can still hear from
distances, he uses this to find out stuff a lot, uses his once
guardian title to get around in the Kaio world
Krillin- a year older than Goku, trains occasionally, still short,
still does NOT have a nose
Android 18-around Krillin's age, still trains, attempts to take care of
Marron, has won the last world championship against Satan (None of the
other Z fighters entered…they thought something would come up and make
them leave.)
Marron- around 13 or 14, stays distant from parents, drools over Trunks and
Goten (Trunks, mostly. She loves his long hair) refuses to fight, valley
girlish
Okay, now you know how everyone is, on with the story…
Saving
Yardrat
Chapter 1
It was a great day for a party. The sun was shining, the birds were
singing, and everything was perfect for a day at the park.
"Hi, unkie Goten" a girl said. She couldn't have been
older than three
years old. She had jet-black hair and blue eyes. Goten cringed at his name
being called. He forced a smile and turned around.
"Hi, Pan. Do you remember our little talk about calling me
that?"
"No"
"Don't call me that, Pan. I'm Goten. GO-Ten" He said,
slowly.
"Okay!"
"Good" Goten turned back around and continued walking.
A few moments later, Trunks came walking by.
"Hi unkie Trunks!" Trunks stopped and cringed.
"Hi Pan. Remember the talk Goten and I had with you about
calling us
that?"
"No"
"Well, I'm Trunks. TRU-NKS." He said, slowly. He turned
around and walked
away.
"Unkie Trunks! Come back! Come back! Unkie Trunks!"
"I'm not you're uncle!" Trunks called back, "I'm
busy, leave me alone!"
"Unkie Trunks, Unkie Goten! Come back!" She started to
cry.
Gohan walked up to Pan and picked her up. "SH. Don't cry,
little one.
What's wrong? Uncle Trunks and Uncle Goten being mean to you again?"
Pan
nodded her head. Gohan looked over at Goten and Trunks. They were standing
by
a tree trying to get Vegeta to talk to them. "Goten! Trunks! Get
yourselves
over here!"
Goten and Trunks walked over to Gohan. "What do you want
Gohan" Goten
said.
"Were you two telling Pan you that you would feed her to Buu if
he ever
came again?"
"No, Gohan" They both said.
"Did you tell her that if someone like Cell came back that you
wouldn't
save her?"
"No, Gohan"
"Then what did you do?"
"We don't know!" Trunks said. "I just told her not to
bother me."
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? NEVER TELL A THREE YEAR OLD NOT TO
BOTHER YOU!"
Gohan screamed. "I'll get the better of you two!"
Goten and Trunks ignored Gohan and walked away, laughing.
Pan had lost interest in the conversation. She was crawling around,
looking for caterpillars and such. She stopped when she saw Goku.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" She called. Goku walked over and
picked her up. "Yup!
I'm your grandpa, Pan! Heh Heh. How are you doing today?" He threw her
up
into the air.
An odd looking creature wearing strange clothes materialized out of
nowhere. He scanned the area and walked towards Goku.
"Are you the man they call Goku?" he asked
Goku turned to him and putting down Pan, he said, "Yes, how did
you…"
"I will explain later" the creature said, "Please,
come with me to my
planet. We need you."
"Hold on, what planet are you from?"
"Yardrat"
Goku's eyes narrowed. "Yardrat? What happened? Is something
wrong?"
"Yes. Something is terribly wrong. Please come with me
now."
"Sure! Hold on one second while I tell everyone I'm leaving" Goku
turned and
ran over to Chichi, Bulma, Trunks, Goten, Pan, Gohan, Videl, and the rest
of the gang. Piccolo and Vegeta were in separate places away from the
group.
"Sorry guys, but I've got to jet. I have no time to explain
what's going
on, but I'll be back after I find out. See ya!" Goku and the man put
two fingers to their foreheads and disappeared.
"But Goku!" Chichi screamed. She turned to Bulma,
"What on earth do you think was wrong? Goku would never leave
with a stranger for no reason." By this time, Piccolo and Vegeta
had rejoined the group.
"I say it's a set up." Vegeta said, crossing his arms,
"Kakarott's way to trusting. It's his fighting weakness"
Everyone except Piccolo chose to ignore his comment.
"No, Vegeta. Something's wrong on the planet Yardrat. Goku
befriended some of its inhabitants on the way to Earth after he fought
Freiza. I say we wait until he gets back. He might need our
help."
And wait they did…
Goku and the Yardrat landed in a city. It was in full ruins. People
were flung everywhere. You could still see the terror on their faces.
"Oh my goodness! What happened here?" Goku exclaimed. "No offense, but I know you people
aren't very strong, but your technique is amazing. They couldn't have
held this off?"
"Of course we couldn't, Goku." A voice said from behind.
It was a Yardrat who survived the attack.
"What took you so long?" he said, coughing up some blood.
"You
should come around more often."
"Ratka!" said Goku, running over to help him, "what
on earth happened?"
Ratka coughed. "A..a band of Oo…Oozarus destroyed the village.
We don't know who they are or what they wanted. They're gone now,
though. We don't know when they'll strike next. Last time they struck
was on a…a full moon." He coughed, fell, and closed his eyes.
Goku caught Ratka and shook him. "Ratka! Don't leave me
yet! Oozarus? They couldn't have been! Ratka! Answer me!" Ratka
didn't say a word. Goku felt for a pulse. "He's gone." Goku
laid Ratka down and turned to the Yardrat who brought him there.
"We need to go back to Earth and let the others know. I think the
people attacking are Saya-Jins. I thought that Vegeta and I were
the only full-blooded Saya-Jins left, but I guess we were wrong. I don't
know how powerful they are, so I don't know if I'm going to need
help."
"Al right" The Yardrat said, "Let's go. We need to
hurry though. There's 14 days here to every day on Earth." With
that, Goku and the Yardrat headed towards Earth.
"Where's Goku?" Chichi screamed. They had been waiting all
day. The sun was already setting.
"I don't know" Krillin said, "knowing him, he's off
saving someone."
"Well he better not be!" Chichi screamed, "We need
him to drive the car!"
"Then get your own license," He murmured. He turned towards his
daughter Marron, who was with Trunks and Goten. She was clearly
flirting around with them.
"Oh god, there she goes again…when will she learn?"
Krillin mumbled. He moved next to Bulma. "Hey, how about we hook
Marron and Trunks up. She'd love it," he whispered to her.
"What do you mean hook Marron and Trunks up? She's too young
for him! He likes to date kids his OWN age, you know!" she stated
loudly, for everyone to hear. Marron marched up to Krillin. She was a
head taller than him. She stooped down to his level.
"Like oh my god dad. Did you say something again? YOU LOSER!
You're like, such a loser, dad! All I want is a normal life, and I get
stuck with a fighting loser like you! God, you'll never understand me!
I HATE YOU!" Marron screamed. Tears were forming in her eyes.
"Look at her go." Goten whispered to Trunks.
"I know, she cries every time she does that, too." Trunks
said back.
"I heard that!" Marron cried, stomping over to Trunks and
Goten. "All I ever did was to hang out with you guys! I just
wanted to go on a date with Trunks! I don't want to be alienated! I just
want you to like me!" The tears started rolling down her cheeks,
and she ran off.
"I'll follow her" 18 said, walking away. "She's
having another one of her tantrums. Teenagers. What a pain" She
rolled her eyes and walked off.
Obsessed with her own problems, Chichi started her rant again.
"Where's Goku? I need him to drive the car! I'm not walking all
the way home today! No way! He's the only one with a license! I need
Goku!"
"Mom, chill" Gohan said, "Dad will be here. Besides,
I got a car. We can drop you off at home."
"Oh, Gohan! You're a lifesaver! Come on son, let's go!"
"Gohan, come over here" Goku had finally made it back with
the Yardrat. Gohan rushed over to Goku.
"What is it dad? Is something wrong? Who is that?" He
said, pointing to the Yardrat.
"Oh, this is um…uh…"Goku scratched his head and turned to
the Yardrat. "I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name."
"It's Latke"
"Okay" Goku said, "As I was saying Gohan. Yardrat is
being invaded by a bunch of Saya-Jins."
Piccolo's ears pricked up as Goku continued. "I know it sounds
strange son, but Ratka-he's a Yardrat guy I know-said that a bunch of
Oozarus attacked the city. They only attack on full moons. Only
Saya-Jins are capable of this." Goku drew in a breath and looked
past Gohan. "I trust that Piccolo has heard me, and he will
inform everyone as I talk to you. I'm going to need everyone by my
side. I don't know what we're up against."
"Even Vegeta?" Gohan asked
"Most of all, Vegeta. He's the prince of the Saya-Jins, after
all. He
should prove to help a lot." Goku and Gohan then headed back to the
group. Piccolo was just finishing the story as they arrived.
"Kakarott, I don't know what your trying to pull, but you and I
are the only full blooded Saya-Jins left!" Vegeta said to Goku.
"No one else can transform at the sight of a full moon!"
"Chill, Vegeta. I know it sounds strange, but we have to check
it out. The people of Yardrat are my friends. We need to help them.
Everyone with me?"
"Yeah!" Everyone except Vegeta and Piccolo yelled. Goku
knew they couldn't resist a fight.
"Okay, let's go!" Goku said, putting his hand on Goten and
Gohan's
shoulders. "Mind giving me a hand with this, Latke? No one else knows
the instant transmission technique except for us two."
"Fine" Latke said. He placed one hand on Vegeta's
shoulder. Trunks and Piccolo placed their hands on Goku's shoulders.
"Al right, let's go" Goku said, placing two fingers to his
forehead.
"Unhand me right now you insolent fool!" Vegeta said.
"Shut up Vegeta. Let's go Latke"
Soon there was no one else except for Krillin, Chichi, and Bulma.
"Goku!" Chichi yelled. "Don't go!"
"It's too late Chichi" Bulma said, "They're not
coming back until they win."
"But Goku almost always dies when he fights a big battle. I
don't want Goku to die again! I don't want my babies to die!"
Chichi started crying.
"Aw, don't cry, Chichi" Krillin said soothingly,
"Everyone will be just fine in Goku's hands."
"And what about Vegeta?" Bulma glared at Krillin. "He
is the strongest next to Goku!"
"Sorry Bulma, but knowing Vegeta, he'll lose his temper and get in the
way."
Bulma continued to stare at him. "Okay…I'm going to go find 18 and Marron
now. Goodbye!" Krillin waved his hand and flew off.
"Come on Chichi, we're leaving. I'll give you a lift home,"
Bulma said, taking out a capsule.
"Oh thank you Bulma! I'll just put up my car, and we'll be ready
to go!"
"Okay!"
Bulma and Chichi then left the park.
