Chapter 2: Consequences of the Prince?

Dende and Mr. Popo walked around the gardens of Kami's lookout. The butterflies fluttered around, continuing to land on Dende, making him brush them away involuntarily. His time as guardian had been great, and he was proving to be a good guardian. Both Dende and Mr. Popo felt a familiar presence. The two both walked over to the edge of the lookout and peered over the side, almost being knocked over by a rush of wind. Dende regained balance and looked behind him, Piccolo was walking toward the main structure of the lookout.

Dende followed. "Piccolo?" Piccolo didn't respond, he just kept walking. Dende spoke again. "Piccolo, is something wrong?"

"Don't worry about it!" Barked Piccolo. "It's non of your concern." Piccolo walked into the room, disappearing from Dende's view.

Dende stood outside, feeling totally helpless. What was eating Piccolo? Why was he acting like a total jerk? These were questions that Dende needed answered. As guardian, Dende needed to make sure that nothing was threatening the Earth, and if there was, to warn the Z-Fighters so they could help save the planet.

Bulma was outside, also watering her garden. Vegeta had already been brought to the infirmary, so Bulma didn't have much to worry about, she knew her Saiyan Prince husband would recover quickly. As she got into an upright position after bending down to water her plants, Goku and his group, consisting of Gohan, Chi Chi, Goten, Trunks and Bardock, appeared in front of her, causing her to fall on her butt.

Goku, who was in the center of the group, looked down at Bulma and smiled, "Hello down there, have a nice fall?"

Bulma shot a dirty look at him, "Shut up Goku, that was rude."

"Sorry Bulma, it's an emergency." Said Gohan, protecting his father from any more verbal abuse.

"Oh?" Said Bulma. Bardock stepped forward, the look on his face showed stress, pain and irritation. "Bardock?"

Bardock smiled. "Hello." He spoke softly, trying not to bring on any more pain.

Bulma smiled. "Well, lets all go inside and we'll figure things out in there."

Trunks and Goten decided to run around back of the hourse to do what ever it is that they do, while Bulma brought Goku, Gohan, Chi Chi and Bardock into the house.

Gohan and Chi Chi went into the living room and sat down for a while, this way, the lab wouldn't be too crowded. Goku, Bardock and Bulma would be the only ones in the lab during the testing. While walking through the halls, Goku needed to make sure of one thing.

"Hey Bulma," Said Goku, "Could you do me a favor?"

"Sure Goku, what do you need?" Replied Bulma.

"Well, could you keep Vegeta away from me," Said Goku, "I don't want to deal with the 'consequences of the Saiyan Prince,' today."

Bulma laughed. "Alright, no problem."

"Wait," Cut in Bardock, "Consequences?"

"Oh, well... it's a long story." Said Goku.

"I think we can explain it." Said Bulma.

Goku sighed. "Well, okay..."

Flashback:

"Kakarot!" Yelled Vegeta from his recliner in the living room. "What in Kami's name are you doing?"

Goku, who had Vegeta and his recliner held up over his head with one arm, replied, "I lost something, I need to find it."

"What in the world could you have lost this time?"

"My wallet." Said Goku, casuing Vegeta's eyes to widen. Vegeta then regained sense.

"Walet? Why in the hell would YOU need a walet?" Said Vegeta.

"Chi Chi made me get one." Said Goku. "She's always telling me that I keep losing my stuff, and that if I kept it in a walet, that I wouldn't lose it."

"But you've lost your wallet, and no... whoa!" Goku dropped the chair, thus, dropping Vegeta, which went through a coffee table. Vegeta stood up, his Saiyan rage beginning to boil.

Goku ran out to the kitchen and dropped to the floor, looking under everything from the fridge to the stove, the large freezer, and even the large cabinet. "Darn it, where could it be."

Vegeta looked around and spotted the walet, under the microwave. " Why would that be under there?" Thought Vegeta. As Vegeta picked up the microwave, it went flying into his face, causing him to fly across the room, and into the wall.

"Hey!" Said Goku in excitement, "I found it!"

Vegeta got up and threw the microwave at Goku, who ducked, which caused him to throw his walet on accident. The microwave nearly hit Bulma, who was just entering the room. "Oh no!" Said Goku. He stood back up, "My wallet is missing again."

Bulma yelled. "Who the hell threw the microwave at me!" Bulma was boiling mad.

"Kakarot here picked up my chair with me in it, then dropped it, then threw the microwave at my head, all to find his damn walet!"

"Well, you should know better to not throw it back!" Snapped Bulma.

"Woman!" Yelled Vegeta.

"Um..." Interupted Goku. "Could you guys..."

"Shut up Kakarot!" Yelled Vegeta, who lunged toward Goku. Goku ducked and Vegeta ran into Bulma, causing them both to land with a thud.

They both stood up, and Bulma was angry. "Vegeta! I didn't want to have to do this, but..."

"No... Bulma..." Said Vegeta in fear, "Anything but that, please..."

"You're... Grounded..." Bulma then turned around and walked out of the room, mumbling to herself.

"Um... Grounded from what Vegeta?" Said Goku.

"You Idiot!" Snapped Vegeta, "What does a woman usually mean when they say 'you're grounded,' Kakarot?"

Goku thought for a moment. "Oh yeah." Said Goku, "You're not aloud to..."

"Shut up! Now grab your damn walet and go, or you'll experience the consequences of the Saiyan Prince!"

Goku decided that it was best to just do as Vegeta said, otherwise, this whole day could turn out terrible for Goku. Goku spotted his wallet on the floor, picked it up, then walked out the front door, taking off as quickly as possible.

"Damn that Kakarot." Said Vegeta.

Flashback End:

"You pissed Vegeta off that badly?" Bardock was amazed, "That's funny."

"Yeah well, I don't want to know what these 'concequenses' are." Goku chuckled.

"Don't worry Goku," Said Bulma, "I've got Vegeta on a short leash." Bulma winked and looked forward. The trio arrived at the lab door, Bulma went to the key pad and punched in the passcode. The door opened up, and the three walked in.

Videl was just landing outside of Bulma's house. "Phew." Said Videl, "Made it without any trouble." She heard a sound, and soon after the sound, Goten came running around front of the house with a bucket on his head.

"Ouch!" Yelled Goten, "Trunks, why did you do that?"

Trunks came flying around the front of the building and landed. "I didn't do it stupid, that was my Dad's fault." Trunks huffed. "He's mad at your dad, so he dropped a bucket on you from the window to start his war path, and now, he's going to find your dad and beat him up."

Videl looked at the two puzzled like. She just shrugged it off and went up to the door. Hmm... She thought, Why knock, when I can just do this. Hey Gohan, I'm here.

Gohan looked up from his book on the table, Coming. He responded. Gohan then stood up casually, and walked to the front door. Once opened, he saw Videl, who he greeted with a smile, then looked behind her.

"Um... Why is there a bucket on Goten's head?" Said Gohan.

"It's my Dad's fault, It wasn't me!" Said Trunks, "He dropped it out of the window, now he's going to beat up Goku."

"Darn, he woke up already?" Gohan sighed. "Alright, well lets get inside, we'll worry about Vegeta later."

Videl was under Gohan's arm, "Why worry about him?"

"It's... a long story." Said Gohan, who led her into the living room, she was greeted by Chi Chi. Videl sat down on the couch, and Gohan sat next to her. They were all becoming very bored because they had to wait for Bulma's testing of Bardock. The boredom would soon be broken however.

Foot steps could be heard, then a figure flew out from behind the wall. Gohan now found him self suspened off of the ground, by his shirt, by the hands of a certain Saiyan Prince. "Gragh... Vegeta, what the hell are you doing?"

"Can it Kakabrat!" Barked Vegeta, "Now, where is your useless father?"

"How am I suposed to know," Said Gohan, "I haven't been anywhere but in here."

Vegeta frowned. "Liar, you know damn well where he is, and if you don't tell me, things could get very ugly for you."

"Vegeta!" Yelled a voice from the other side of the room. "Put Gohan down."

Vegeta knew that he was in deep trouble, Goten and Trunks were haning from the ceiling fan from their tails, and watching with smirks on their faces. Vegeta slowly looked behind him, Blasted Woman!

"I heard that Vegeta!" Bulma yelled, "You don't want me to do it again do you?"

Vegeta had the look of helplessness on his face, he then dropped Gohan and walked away, mumbling something to himself. He turned his head and saw Goku walk in, then behind him, Bardock. Oh look, now Kakarot's father is here. Well, at least he isn't as idiotic as Kakarot.

Bulma shot dirty look over to Vegeta, then looked back to the group. "So, now that the testing is done, and I've got the results, shall we go outside and talk about these things?" Everyone nodded. "Alright, follow me." Said Bulma, walking to the back door.

Once out on the back deck, Bulma and Bardock prepared to tell everyone about what's been going on in Bardock's head. "Bardock, they've got to know, Goku and I are the only others that know."

"Yeah, I know." Said Bardock. He then pondered on the subject for a moment. "Alright, I assume I could tell them my special ability."

"Good, let's go." Said Bulma, who turned around and walked back to the group that sat on the deck. Goku, Vegeta and Gohan were already into the food that was put on the table, after being told not to touch it. "Um.. Hello!" Snapped Bulma, "What did I say before I put that food out?"

Goku began to speak with his mouth full. "Well *Chomp* Food is *Mumble* and we were hungry so *Chop Crunch Mumble* eating it..."

"Kakarot you idiot, I couldn't even understand you." Said Vegeta, who stopped eating, knowing what could happen if he didn't.

Bardock approached the group and sat down in one of the chairs. Alright, here we go.

The lone warrior in space was still searching, after crashing on a junk yard of a planet, he became rather irritated.

"Grrr, Rats!" He growled. "You've got to be kidding me!" The warrior scanned the area, dark and cold, hard to breathe. "This place is a dump, I'll never find the right parts on this crap hole!" He stepped back into the ship and checked the computer. "Let's see where this thing came from in the first place, I doubt that ridiculous excuse for an elite squad left it here, seeing as how they're all dead." He accessed the coordinates files. "Hmm... so the last planet that this ship was on was... Namek..." As the warrior pondered in his discovery, he came to a probable conclusion. "Ah well, it probably floated away from the ruble is all." He stepped out of the space pod, "Those fools didn't lock their ships properly... I shouldn't have been able to access anything, oh well. I guess lying dormant for over ten years automatically shut off the safe guards." He sat down next to the ship and began to fall asleep. I swear... I will find you...

With these final words, the lone warrior fell into sleep, dreaming about the day that he finds who he is looking for, but who is the person he seeks, and what answers does he hope to find. Back on Earth, Bardock prepares to tell the group about his special ability, the ability to see the future, how will these events play out, keep on reading! And reviewing would be great as well :P xD later.
