Chapter 1:
BANG! Trunks looked up and received a kick from Goten. "Hey, stop that! I heard an explosion Goten, I think it came from the Capsule Corp.!" Trunks turned back normal and Goten followed his example. He looked in the direction of the sound and noticed smoke coming from the great white building. "It IS your mother Trunks, let's go check it out!" The boys took off, leaving Uubu and Bra behind. "Hey! They always do that!" Bra yelled upset. Uubu laughed. "Come on Bra, it's not like you ever wait for us when you want to go somewhere, we're always chasing you!" Bra punched him, but not too hard. "Just you wait until we spar.. I'm gonna kick your ass, but let's hurry back home. Maybe mom needs our help" She took off, followed by Uubu.
"Woman! Where .. ugh..are you? What is this smoke?!" Vegeta yelled. "Bulma? What have you done, are you.. okay?" Vegeta tripped over something and fell down. "Hey! Be careful you! I've been working very long on that, do not break anything!" Bulma pulled a switch and the smoke slowly disappeared. Vegeta crawled back up and looked at Bulma. She was 'different'. Her skin was smoother, her hair was longer, she was 'younger'? "I know what you're thinking. I AM younger!" Vegeta still couldn't take his eyes off his wife, she was beautiful as always, but she reminded him of the Bulma when Trunks was still 8 years old. "Why?" he managed to bring out. Before Bulma could answer Trunks and Goten came running down the stairs into the cellar. "Mom, are you okay? What are you.. huh?" "Wow ms Bulma," Gotens mound fell open "I don't mean to be rude, but you look hot!" Vegeta glared at the boy who gulped. "I mean, you look so .. young?" Bulma smiled. "That's right, I am younger. I've been working on this machine, I call it the Rejuvenation- machine. It can change your molecules and make you decades younger! But before I explain how and why, let's call the other okay?" The new and improved Bulma walked up the stares, and Vegeta caught himself staring at her butt. He shook his head and followed her.
"This had better be good. I was on a date you know!" Yamcha cried. Chi Chi rolled with her eyes. The whole Z-fighter gang was assembled and they were all wondering why Bulma had asked them to come. Chi Chi pulled at Yamcha's ear. "You don't ever grow up, do you? Have you ever considered marriage? I mean, you can't stay single your whole life, and you are not getting younger!"
"Maybe he is. Maybe we all are!" Bulma sais as she walked into her living room. Everybody stopped talking and they all staired at Bulma. Bulma smiled, she loved attention. "Listen up everybody, I've invented a method to keep us all younger. This way, the wives of certain Sayians can stay with their husband longer, since Sayians age slower and thus lives longer. "But Bulma.." Yamcha started.
"Let her finish!" Vegeta growled. Yamcha shut his mouth. "As I were saying.." Bulma continued, "since we are the earths protectors and all, and of course very close, I thought we could all benefit. We aren't getting any younger. Videl, Chi Chi, you were my first targets. I want you two to try out the machine." Videl stood up and walked with Bulma, Chi Chi however, hesitated. "Mother? Aren't you going?" Gohan asked. "Well, I don't really have a Sayian husband anymore, do I?" "No, but you do have two Sayian sons, who will miss you very much so try this machine out and who knows!" Goten hugged his mother and pushed her towards the door to the cellar.
Ten minutes later the door opened again. Videl stepped out, with a big smile on her face. She ran towards Gohan. "I'm younger!! My wrinkles! They're gone! Oh Gohan, this is fabulous!" Chi Chi followed her daughter in law, smiling too. "Mother!" Goten began. "Wow, you are just as ..well, when I was a kid!" Bulma laughed and looked really proud. "Okay Bulma, this is all very exciting, but why does this concern us!" Bulma pushed Yamcha back in the chair. "Because silly, you are our friends! Krillin, your wife doesn't age, but you do! I want you to use the machine too. And you Tien, and Launch too, feel free to use it. YES YAMCHA, you can use it too." The whole gang started talking again. Bulma helped everybody into the machine. They came out years younger and were grateful to Bulma. The next generation stood there, looking at their younger parents and friends. They didn't really know what to say or do, so they eventually stepped outside to let the 'oldies' celebrate.
"So this is bizarre." Pan was the first to speak. Bra laughed. "I don't know, I kinda like the idea of my parents staying together for a long time. I mean, they are happy, so it isn't a bad thing."
The boys nodded. "So.. Uubu!!" Bra turned to her friend "I thought you'd promised me a spar, right?" Uubu looked up and smiled. "You sure you can handle me?" Bra glared at him. "Try me.."
It was dark, as always. And cold. Strange, people always think it's warm down here. But it's not. It's freezing cold, just as the hearts of the people who are sent down here. Enormous mountains block the view. Pits of cold lava and geysers with cold air are everywhere. The monsters and villains are separated in groups, talking to each other, looking at each other with hate in their eyes. Even down here, there's no peace. The war between the evils has been going on for ages, ever since this place was created. Piccolo looked up, and saw a bright light. 'There is no bright light in Hell.. What's going on?' He stood up and looked around him. He was the inhabitants of Hell looking towards the light, covering their eyes. They all gathered and just waited. This was strange, the groups never gathered, except when they were fighting. He frowned and flew up. He headed towards a mountain in the far west. When he landed he searched for a cave and entered it. He raised his and mumbled a few words. A gap in the wall appeared and he could see the other world.
"King Yemma? Are you there?" he asked. This secret cave was the only way to stay in touch with the other world, to keep contact with King Yemma and to make sure everything was going well. Ever since he came down here he has been keeping the order, making sure there were no serious incidents. "King Yemma?" "I'M SORRY PICCOLO, BUT I REALLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR YOU! SOMETHING BIG IS GOING ON; TRY AND TALK TO KING KAI". Piccolo smirked, he didn't like talking to King Kai, he was always being so.. funny. "Oh well.. here goes nothing.. KING KAI? Can you hear me?" "NO! Bubbles! Stay away, oh Gregory! What are you doing! Don't touch that.. I.. OH! Piccolo! I wanted to talk to you!" King Kai looked over his shoulder and stopped running. "I'm sorry to bother you, but there's something going down here. And.. what is that foolish monkey of yours doing?!" Piccolo saw how Bubbles was jumping up and down, but with an angry look on his face. "Be careful with your words, Piccolo! He's very sensitive. You know, a new evil has arrived. This isn't good I tell you, he is stronger than the Z-fighters together. But he doesn't want to destroy the earth or something, he is gathering the evil from hell." Piccolo frowned. "Why would he do that, they will never cooperate. They can't even live together in one place, why would they obey him?"
"Because.." King Kai started " he is the master of all evil. They can do nothing BUT obey him. But that is not all. He has challenged us." Piccolo looked over his shoulder. He couldn't stay for long, that light was getting brighter. "Challenged who?" he asked. "The Gods of this realm" King Kai answered. "He said he had gathered an army of Evil. He wanted to challenge the Gods to show evil will win. He has demanded a group of fighters to enter in a tournament. If they do not obey, he will literary 'unleash' hell. He will let them all go Piccolo!" "But.." Piccolo started. "No!" Kai continued. "You obviously do not understand that if hell is unleashed, the other world will be overwhelmed with evil. There is just too much evil down there, and to let them go will disturb the holy balance. The whole universe can be destroyed, live itself will cease to exist!" For once, King Kai was utterly serious. "What can I do?" Piccolo asked. "I think it would be best if you left Hell. The Gods have given permission. You must go and get Goku. I will warn Dende and get the fighters from earth. The other Kai's are searching for strong fighters across the universe. This is it, I guess."
"One thing, King Kai, what is the name of this master of evil?" Kink Kai shook his head.. "We don't know his real name, but he prefers to call himself.. VENOM."
Okay.. this was the beginning… Please review to tell me what you think of it!!
Next chapter I will begin on the real story. Dende receives bad news, the Gods have been challenged!! (groovy!)
