Disclaimer: See First Chapter
Author's Note: While I expected it, I am still pissed. Whenever I post, it does not show up under the updated list, only the new publish list. Since Update is the default, it means that most people won't even have a chance to read my story if they wanted to. Hopefully a second chapter will correct this problem, but if it does not, I will be forced to sign up under a different name to post this work. Anyways, this is the second chapter of my story. If you are reading this, then you read my first chapter, which I thank you for. Also, please review or at least leave a little hello in the reviews. It takes five seconds and I really like seeing that review number go up. Also, if you post ideas or things you think should happen in the story, I will consider them and possibly make changes. While I have a pretty good idea of how the story is going to go, I could still change things half way.
New Genesis
Chapter Two: A New Hope
The five Saiyans mourned the death of their father, friend, and prince. No one spoke of his final request until one week had passed after his burial. Gohan accessed the Capsule Corps computer system and found the file that Vegeta mentioned. It was actually an archive including, maps, locations of old Saiyan bases, certain Saiyan customs, translation programs for different languages, and the design for a ship he and Bulma had both worked on after Trunks and Pan's trip into space. The ship had already been built some time ago in case another emergency required its use. While based on the original Capsule that was taken to Namek and the designs of one of Freeza's ships, the ship was not just a transport like the older models, but it was a full functioning battleship as well. Both Bulma and Vegeta had agreed that any new ships built for space would need both defensive and offensive capabilities. This ship took the most state of the art technology that Vegeta could remember, and used Bulma's intellect to improve upon it.
The result was designs for a ship known only as the Exodus, one of the most powerful ships in the universe. The shield and weapons systems could take on any other ship head to head, and the propulsion system would allow travel at speed never before obtained by a ship. The hull was triple reinforced with an alloy that could only be created in an advanced laboratory. Size was also increased twenty fold, allowing the ship to comfortably house up to over fifty people. Using capsule technology, enough food to feed a Saiyan for a day could be fit into a small pill that could be eaten and then slowly expand in the stomach to keep the person full all day long. There were cargo rooms full of these pills, enough to last the five Saiyans several years in space without a single refill. A combination of micro-fusion and micro-fission allowed their power supply to be reusable forever as long as they had enough energy on the starter batteries. Since the batteries recharged every time the power supply was running, this would not be a problem.
Bedrooms and Cargo rooms were not the only rooms in the ship, however. There were training rooms, laboratories, and work rooms, as well as rooms for tactical, communications, and astrometry. The ship had everything they would need to get to New Genesis and get back. The maps had stopping points labeled every so often, along with information on planets that could support life so that they could visit other civilizations on the way. On a direct path, New Genesis was over six months away. The path on the map laid out for them would take nearly a year. Gohan was ready for a long trip to help him sort out his feelings and get away from things that reminded him of what he lost. His mother, father, wife, and friend were now all gone. He may have bee from the second generation along with Goten and Trunks, but he is the only one who remembers what really happened between Vegeta and his father. The rest heard stories but he watched it unfold before him. He was the last living man who knew Vegeta before he had settled down and started a family. He was also the only one who could remember the horrors that were caused by the tyrant Freeza. Trunks may be the key to the mission's success, but Gohan was the most capable to lead them.
The two both agreed to go on the mission, which caused Pan to join as well. With the two men she loved not coming back for at least two years, if ever, she had to join them. She did realize, however, that this would be most likely a one way trip for them all. Even if they did succeed, Trunks would be needed to lead his people, and she would stay with him. The only Saiyans who would possibly stay on Earth would be Goten and Bra. They themselves seemed to be the only ones burdened by the choice they must make. If they leave the planet, it would mean the end of both the Briefs and Son families from the Earth. Capsule Corporation would leave the hands of the Briefs family for the first time since its creation, and would most likely never return. There would only be one man strong enough to protect Earth against any real threats, and Uub now had a family with Marron and their daughter. But perhaps it was best this way. To let a human defend a planet of humans, and let the Saiyans defend other Saiyans. Uub's powerful genes, along with Marron's part android genes would continue on through their children, leaving powerful defenders for the Earth for a long time to come.
So the time came when Goten and Bra had to talk to each other about making a choice. "Goten, I have a feeling you won't like what I have to say, but I want to go with them." Bra told Goten who was lying next to her in bed. "I would rather that we stay here. You are pregnant and it's too dangerous." Goten responded to her. "Goten, it was my father's wish that we go, and I could help lead our people. We may be part human but we are part Saiyan as well. Our place is no longer here on Earth. Trunks, Gohan, and Pan will need our help if they are too succeed, and I for one want to give them that help. Besides, I am only six weeks pregnant, we would be well underway before I would have trouble getting around." Bra told Goten. "Bra, I worry about you too much, I really don't want to go." Goten responded. "Goten, I know why you really don't want me to go. My father told me before he died that you and he were very much alike when showing their feelings. His pride and your fear cause you to act differently around the people you love most. You must drop your fears; both of losing me to death and losing me to another. I will always be with you Goten. No man could ever replace you in my heart and you know this. We shall always be together, whether in this dimension or the next. I will wait for you no matter where you are. I will not go without you, but I am asking you as a favor to my father and most importantly me, lets go with them." Bra told Goten, giving him the final decision in the matter.
"I need to know your decision soon, for arrangements need to be made either way. The ship leaves in two weeks, so I will need to know your answer within a week from now. You must now decide between your Saiyan side and your human side. We will see which will come out on top." Bra said as she rolled facing away from Goten in the bed, and snuggled her body close to his. Goten rapped one arm around his mate and used the other arm to run his fingers through her long flowing hair. Bra softly purred at his touch, giving Goten a warm feeling all over his body. "I don't need a week to decide, my princess. I will go on the trip to New Genesis, and I will stay as long as needed. However, I would like to you to know that you were wrong. My decision had nothing to do with my Saiyan or my human side. It had nothing to do with your father, Trunks, Pan, or Gohan. It only had to do with the most beautiful creature in the whole universe, my wife. Besides, a year or two in close quarters with you is like a dream come true to me. Now since I don't have to contemplate my decision anymore, I wonder what we can do to pass the time." Goten told Bra in first a serious and then a sexy tone. Bra's smile formed into a smirk as she rolled back facing Goten and locked her lips with his in a passionate kiss.
Two weeks quickly passed, and the five were ready to head out into space. They had settled all matters of estate that they needed to, and all their worries were now behind them. Almost half of Capsule Corporation's shares were split among the current workers, depending on years of employment and what job they help. The other half were given mostly to Uub and Marron, with a few going to Roshi and Yajirobe, who were both only kept alive by the mystical waters at Korin's place. The Son residence where Gohan was born at was left to be cared for by Mr. Popo. Mr. Popo was also given Nimbus to help with this. Android 18 would now live their alone; with her husband and brother gone, and her daughter grown up and moved out, she had nothing to do anymore except keep Mr. Popo company and visit Marron often. Unable to age, she would be able to defend Earth for a very long time, until her internal power supply finally gave out several centuries from now. She would fight in tournaments and train others for fun as well. The five would actually start off as six, since a certain green Namek was joining them on their trip until they reached New Namek. With the dragonballs gone, Dende had hoped for a chance to return home, and this was the opportunity he was waiting for. As for the rest of the Earth, the five Saiyans declared their leaving the planet to all the people of Earth, and it was a sad day for many who knew and idolized the famous warriors.
Everyone except Gohan boarded the ship along with their very personal possessions in capsules. Gohan walked around to the nearest landing leg and pulled out a large black permanent marker. He proceeded to write something on the leg and then headed back into the ship. The launch was a success and the people of Earth looked up to the sky as a final farewell to the heroes now leaving them. The ship left Earth's atmosphere and a course was set for New Namek. They would reach the planet in just under three weeks. The large, powerful ship sped through space at unimaginable speeds. The only things that could be recognized on the outside of the ship was the Capsule Corporation logo, the ship's name, Exodus, in large bold letters on the front, and the barely visible markings one of the ship's legs, reading only one word: Hope.
