Chapter 2

Vegeta watched Raditz like a hawk as he and Chichi fuelled up the ship. He knew his little sister was an excellent fighter and can take care of herself but he didn't like that she was going off when he had just returned from a purging mission. He was protective of her. His father called her Chicory but his mother would always refer her as 'Chichi' instead. When their mother died he remembered he was eight years old, holding in his arms with her freakishly long tail wrapped around his arm, that he made a vow. He would never let anyone harm her, the vow strengthened when their father and many of the saiyans died.

"Raditz stop checking out my ass already!" Chichi screeched as she threw what appeared to be a screwdriver at him.

Raditz dodged him, smirking proudly before having Chichi throw a wrench squarely at his head. Vegeta growled at Raditz and then at himself for going into daydream while his sister was ogled again.

"Weak!" Chichi snarled at Raditz who was out for the count on the floor "Vegeta, aren't you going to help me?"

Smirking against the wall Vegeta just looked proudly at his little sister.

"No, you can do it yourself" Vegeta said.

Chichi's left eye twitched.

"You're a hell spawn you know that!" Chichi growled.

"And damn proud of it" Vegeta grinned.

Chichi let out an animalistic growl before picking up the wrench and sealed the place where the fuel went. She turned and threw the wrench at Vegeta but he just caught it with a smug smirk. In retaliation she gave him the middle finger and dragged the unconscious Raditz into the ship. Chichi places Raditz on a seat nearby the hatch and strapped him in quickly, the faster she got off the planet the faster she could return to her brother.

"Y'know, that's the only time he ever looks cute" Chichi said, looking at Raditz's unconscious form.

Vegeta growled behind her, mentally placing two lines under Raditz's name on his 'who to kill list'. Chichi rolled her eyes at her big brother's behaviour, she was just stating a fact that's all. Looking over to her brother she smiled.

"Don't worry, he is on the bottom of the list big brother" Chichi said.

"Good, I will not have a low class as an in-law" Vegeta grumped.

Chichi rolled her eyes again from the notion before pulling her brother into a hug. Vegeta was tense for a second from the rare affection before relaxing and hugged his sister back.

"Get stronger brother, I wish to see him fall" Chichi said softly.

"I will, stay safe and get as many saiyans as possible" Vegeta said.

"Don't worry about that brother" Chichi said, releasing each other "You can count on me" she pats him on shoulder "I'll try to find some that are worth a challenge".

Vegeta nodded and noticed her eyes were glistening with tears. He pulled his white glove off to reach out and wiped them away. It the only time he ever showed compassion was with her and she ever showed much emotion to him.

"You are a warrior Chichi. Don't not fear for me, I will be alright." Vegeta said.

"Just don't end up dead when I return" Chichi said.

Vegeta chuckled and looked at her smugly.

"Not a chance. May your homecoming be as swift as you fly! Farewell" Vegeta said.

"Farewell" Chichi said.

With that Vegeta nods and exits. Chichi sighs before closing off the hatch after her brother and walks to the control room. She sits down, placing her seatbelt on, turning the ship on. A blue transparent screen appeared before her, showing maps and monitors from different main parts of the ship. Checking all the systems, she pulls her scooter down and presses a button.

"Command centre this is Princess Chicory of the Saiyans on Cargo Flier XSP5, all systems are clear, over" Chichi said.

"Command centre to Princess Chicory, clear sky all ready for you, over"

"Roger that. Over" Chichi said releasing the com-link.

She flicked a few switches above her powering up the engines before leaning back on seat and grabbing the driving helm as it popped up. The blue screen splits into two, map on her right side and monitors on her left. Straight ahead of her was her brother giving her his trademark smirk. She gives him a playful salute, making his smirk widen and sends the ship into the sky. Once she hits space she accelerated at top speed before she sets the coordinates into the ship and places it into auto pilot. Despite letting go of the helm, she watched the stars and planets fly by through the windscreen.

"This is going to be a long ride" Chichi mumbled out loud, crossing her arms in a meditative manner after pushing her scooter up. "At least I'll mostly be in sleep status during this trip"

"What hell happened to me?" Raditz roared.

"And I won't hear that buffoon during it" Chichi added.

"Your highness please let me out of this!" Raditz shouted.

"When I feel like it" Chichi shouted back, irked that he had the cheek to order her around.


After a month and half of being in sleep status Chichi wished she hadn't freed the giant fur ball next to her. She growled for the second time at Raditz when he tried to touch her. She wanted to blast him to smithereens but she held herself back, no point killing what there was very few of. No matter how tempting it was. The piloting area of the ship she was in was made for three people but apparently there wasn't 'enough' room for dear Raditz.

"You're in my personal space again asshole" Chichi snarled, keeping her eyes on the screen.

"I can't help it if my hair is large" Raditz said.

"Just because you're compensating doesn't mean you shouldn't have a haircut" Chichi said.

"Are you insulting my intelligence?" Raditz growled.

Chichi looked at him, giving him one very evil smile.

"Okay. Make that two things" she smirked.

By the look of Raditz she knew he wanted to call her something vile but held his tongue. No point giving her a reason to kill him on the spot and by the look on her face she might hurt him before she did the job. I trill sound was then emitted in the air by the computer, alerting them of the upcoming planet. They broke eye-contact, Raditz first, gazing at blue and green rock before them.

"Is that it? Damn, it's ugly. Why would Frieza want that piece of junk?" Raditz said. "It's tiny too!"

Chichi didn't comment on it, to her it was breathtaking but kept her face very casual.

"What did the people call this planet again?" Raditz asked.

"Earth" Chichi said.

As they neared the planet she saw something about it that didn't look right. She could feel it too. There was something about this planet that made her think…twice. Not something normal for dear Chicory, when she assessed or thought about something she would do it once because it was usually right. Just as they hit the atmosphere she saw them, buzzing cities full of life. Full of people.

"Tell me, who is the saiyan that was suppose to purge this planet?" Chichi said nonchalantly.

Raditz, who didn't have her strong eyes and noticed the problem, pressed a button on the control panel making a see through blue screen spring before him. He pressed some keys on the screen and the saiyan's infomation appeared.

"Third class baby. Power level of 1000. Male. Name Ka…ka…"

Raditz just lost the will to speak, staring at the picture, completely astonished at who the purger was. He thought he would never see him again. Not after he saw him off to the 'doomed' planet.

"Kaka? Who in the universe would name their son Kaka?" Chichi said mused.

"Kakarot, his name is Kakarot" Raditz said strongly.

"Sounds like you know him" Chichi said observantly.

"He's my brother" Raditz said.

"Hmm, it would explain this" Chichi said.

"Explain what?" Raditz asked as he looked through the windscreen, noticing civilisation "Umm, aren't they suppose to be dead?"

"Well done genius." Chichi said sarcastically. "Lets land and get to the bottom of this"

Mentally exhausted Chichi managed to land the ship in the edge of a thick forest, hiding it well, before she and Raditz released their seat belts. She was not happy; she could feel the vein on her forehead almost pulsing with her irritation. This was the first time she had to collect a purger who didn't finish off his job and she certainly didn't want to finish it off either. She loved fighting so much that she craved for a challenge but killing was a different matter. Unlike other saiyans she made it very quick and clean so the being would not feel any pain. It was another one of those things Frieza had burned her with, torture and slow kills was not something she was keen on. If she could she'd avoid it at all costs, though she didn't mind it if she hated someone. Flicking her eyes on Raditz it looked like he was ready to commit mass genocide.

"Raditz, if you so much as touch one creature with or without you ki power I will rip you apart." Chichi snarled.

"But your majesty, these people may have killed my brother" Raditz growled back.

Faster than a speeding bullet she propelled herself, grabbing him by the throat and slammed him high against the ship wall. The impact not only made the ship shake but created a lovely dent to where she slammed him. Radtiz would have automatically hit her in instinct if it wasn't for a slight flash of green in her eyes. It kept him still, reminding him of her strength and in wonder if he had even seen the teal glint there at all. The pain in his head reminded him that probably because of that he may have been seeing things.

"I do not give a fuck about your brother. Why should I? If he's dead, he's dead. If he's alive he must have a damn good reason why these people are alive. We do not want to alert these people of our presence!" Chichi snarled as Raditz gasped for air. "Do what I fucking say or plead for the gods for help because they will be the only ones that would stop me from sending you to hell. GOT IT?!?!?!"

"Ye…ssss" Raditz wheezed out.

With that she let him drop to the floor, slumping over and coughing from her chokehold. Her irritated growls made him stand, he thought she would have kicked him otherwise. He was a half a foot taller than her but the look she gave him made him think he was tiniest thing on the planet.

"Good, do not disappoint me" Chichi said.

She turns back to the piloting controls and swore at flashing on one the screens.

"Great, we don't have enough power to get us to the next planet" Chichi said and looked back Raditz "Where did you place the fuel tanks on the ship?"

"Umm…" Raditz said, looking at her a little nervous.

"What?" Chichi said, frowning.

"You knocked me out before I could have put them on" Raditz said.

Her right eye twitched as she stared at him for a moment. Crossing her arms she began to think carefully at what they should do. They may have to explore the planet before trying to find Kakarot or whichever way that comes up first.

"You better hope there is galric fuel here Raditz or your next best option is praying" Chichi said.

Turning off the ships power and exiting the piloting area Chichi pushed the hatch door open and dropped onto ground. She smelled the air, not as pollutant as where they lived but that was enough to know there were transporting machines there. Question was did they run on the same fuel. Flipping her scooter down, she began checking for masses of ki.

"Perfect" Chichi smiled at a nearby city.

Cocking her ear at a particular sound she looked up and saw a vehicle flying in the air carrying passengers over her. An idea popped into her head and she blasted towards it before landing on the bonnet. The occupants screamed in surprise, clutching each other in fright when she bared her sharp teeth at them before jumping off just as they crashed into the ground below. Gliding down gently, Chichi checked the unconscious passengers before ripping the bonnet lid off and smelt the engine.

"Hmm, there is traces of Galric but not one hundred percent of it" Chichi muttered, tail uncoiled and swaying gently in excitement, looking over to the flying Raditz as he came towards her. "Your in luck Raditz, there is Galric fuel here just not the pure kind. No matter we'll find some after we find your brother"

"I thought you didn't want alert our presence" Raditz said, landing besides her.

"Strip them to there underwear, their clothes will be useful" Chichi said, taking off her gloves revealing a mechanical arm bracelet on her let.

Scratching one of them with her sharp forefinger nail, she pressed a button on the bracelet while Raditz was doing as he was told. Wiping the blood into the bracelet opening, it closed and hummed into life. On her scooter, data was being pulled up about the blood.

"Interesting" Chichi said.

"What is Princess Chicory?" Raditz asked.

"Was you brother send here on the day our kind was being destroyed by Frieza?" Chichi asked.

"Yes" Raditz said.

"You wanted to know why Frieza wanted this planet purged, yes?" Chichi said.

"Err…yeah" Raditz said slowly, remembering his earlier question.

"The humans, Frieza wanted them all dead, they will be quite useful to us" Chichi cryptically said.

"Your majesty?" Raditz asked, puzzled.

"Raditz finish stripping them and do try not to touch the female. I find it quite repulsive at such an act" Chichi said as her freakishly long tail coiled around her, hanging in an 'X' way on her abdomen.

"Spoil sport" Raditz muttered.


Goku looked down at the masses of food on the table. His mouth was drooling at the sight of it but his will power kept him on the spot. He was at Bulma's home, when there was food made there it was either done by Bulma or by Mrs Briefs. So there was a fifty/fifty chance that he would get stomach poisoning, something only Bulma could cause him. He looked at Yamcha and mouthed 'Is it safe?'

Yamcha chuckled at him "Yeah Goku, it is"

"Woohoo!" Goku cheered before diving into it.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Bulma asked her former boyfriend.

"Oh, he just wanted to know if his favourite is there" Yamcha lied quickly, offending Bulma meant he was going to listen her mother prattling on about something that would make any guy squirm, even Goku.

"Pfft! All food is his favourite" Bulma said.

"Yes Bulma, but there are some he likes more than others" Yamcha stated before changing the subject "So what have you been inventing lately beautiful genius?"

Bulma loved it when anyone called her that and would it always deter her earlier mood. She may have a huge ego when it came to her looks and brains but she was a nice girl that always likes to help when she can. Although, her outspoken self can get her into a lot of trouble!

"A gravity room at the moment. It's very complex but Daddy and I think we can get it working by the end of this week." Bulma said happily.

"Why a gravity room?" Yamcha asked.

"Instead of using weights you fighters can use the higher gravity to train in" Bulma said.

"Higher graity?" Goku asked confusedly, just catching the conversation when the word 'fighters' came out.

"An invention for you guys to train in and become stronger" Bulma said, slightly annoyed at having to repeat herself again.

Bulma had to stop from doing a double take, it was still a surprise at how much Goku ate and the speed too. He had finished ten plates in under 2 minutes. If she or anyone else tried it they would have one major tummy ache and would be throwing up by now.

"Cool!" Goku cheered happily. "When will it be done? How soon can you build it? Can I use it first?"

"This week and yeah Goku you can use it first, just don't break it okay? It's still a prototype" Bulma said, with a smile at his excitement.

Goku just grinned at her happily before his smile dropped slowly to a frown. He looked outside into the distance. Yamcha frowned as well feeling something wasn't right.

"What is it?" Bulma asked, worried.

"Someone powerful is coming to earth" Goku said then after a moment of silence "They are here."

"They?" Bulma stunned.

"Two" Yamcha said, finally distinguishing the ki power. "One more powerful than the other."

"Lets go and meet them, see if they are just passing through." Goku said.

"I doubt it." Yamcha said.


"Why is everyone starring at me?" Raditz growled.

They were walking through the high street crowd of Capsule City in the clothes they had stolen. Radtiz was wearing brown trousers and a white shirt while Chichi was wearing red baggy trousers and a white blouse. Both kept there white boots on. If it wasn't for the fact of Raditz's height and Chichi walked like she owned the entire city they would have blended in very well.

"It's either due to your lovely hair or the fact your tail is hanging out all fluffy like" Chichi sarcastically.

Raditz quickly tucked his tail into the trousers, feeling it was very cramped in there.

"I don't suppose there is a nice place to eat that won't cause a scene" Chichi said, feeling very hungry.

"An all you can eat buffet is over there" Raditz said.

"Lets go eat" Chichi said.

"What about my brother?" Raditz asked.

"I am not going to find your brother without a full stomach, got it?" Chichi growled.

"Hey there's an all you can eat buffet!" a cheery voice shouted behind them.

Both Chichi and Raditz looked at each other before stopping to look over there shoulders. There excellent hearing had caught the voice quite a distance away and since there wasn't a buffet down there that person must have had good eyesight.

"Not now Goku" a stern voice said.

"I know, but I'm hungry" the cheery voice whined.

"Again? Look, we'll eat there once we find those people" the stern voice said. "We don't know what kind of power they have."

"They're up ahead"

Both saiyans frown at each other and looked back again. There sharp eyesight trying to pin point the voices.

"Why are they in the city anyway? Don't they usually like to hang around the open fields?"

"Maybe they want to tour."

"Or maybe to cause as much destruction as possible."

"Not all of them have to be bad Yamcha."

"Goku, you are too naïve for your own good."

Quickly Chichi pulled out her scooter along with Raditz and scanned the area for strong ki. Though they were being stared at they really couldn't care less as there scooters read everyone till they hit two high Ki's, one only just as high as theirs. The owners appeared before them.

"Guess we found them" Goku & Chichi said.


You all know the fact that Saiyans have this 'I'm named after a vegetable' thing so 'chicory' is a type of vegetable and NOT a name I made up. Go check, I kid you not!

Which leads me to one thing I hate about DB/Z/GT, with all the sexual innuendos, blood, gore, excessive violence, swearing and male nudity (that us girls like), why on earth do they not show the couples kissing (as in lip locking!) each other? It dosen't make any sense!

Synea-Aja : Thanks and there's the update! Hehe!

Arcadia81: Damn girl! That was one LONG rant and I am their with ya I can't believe how little character development there was for Chichi and Goku and if there had been it was very subtle! I get that marriage and children does change characters but it was annoying at how they changed them. Chichi had gone from sweet young fighter to one nagging house wife. Yes there are problems with Goku and, hey, I'd go nuts but it gets annoying if that how she is always seen! And when GT hit, to me, it absolutely KILLED her. That's why I prefer the manga and the 'dubbed' Japanese version she has more wit and fun and has more patience with Goku. And there is always fanfiction to makeup the mistakes for the writers of the DB/Z/GT.

Anyway, while I thinking about the characters I thought that Chichi and Vegeta were quite similar. They both have quick tempers and react violently if not cooled quickly. They both try to take control of the situation. They both excellent in fighting and very tough and not to be messed with. You don't ever see their mothers, only their fathers. They are not afraid of anyone or afraid to hurt Goku physically and do occasionally. They are protective and optimistic and if it wasn't for the fact that Chichi was Goku's wife and had thrown Vegeta into a tree after he did something, though I can't remember what exactly, they'd probably have a brother and sister relationship if Vegeta wasn't so rude. So whoola! Hoped you like!

.Funny.Bonez. : I love that brother and sister pair too! I think that should have had a relationship like that instead of just hating each other. So thank you for your review!

Jadedrache: I just LOVE Chichi kickassness! There is something about a strong loyal woman that makes you stand up straighter. Oh and thanks, I'll do my best.

Fab: not quite sure what you mean by that but if you are referring to the title then nope that's not what the story is all about. Parallel is another word for 'similar' and I thought 'parallel' would be a more of fitting, mysterious title. Oh well. Hope you liked it.

Calise: I'll try my best, just excuse some spellings since I'm from England and you may not be from there and well, dyslexia don't help when it comes to checking either.

Review?
