A/N: I enjoyed writing Prologue. So much so that I started up on Chapter 1 immediately! So, enjoy Chapter 1.

Chapter 1: How'd I get here?

Gohan stood shocked in front of his grandfather, Bardock. "You know? How could you know?" Gohan asked as Bardock smirked.

"I don't know, but what I do know, is that you're Gohan, the son of a pure-hearted Saiyan who defeated the greatest tyrant in the universe. Somehow, you've been transported to a universe where that never happened." Bardock said as Gohan shook his head in disagreement.

"You said you remember a timeline that never happened. I don't think this is a parallel universe, but instead an alternate timeline. Someone changed something in the past to change the future. But for some reason, you and I were anchored and are the only signals of that previous timeline shining through. If there's 2 of us, there might be more." Gohan said as Bardock smirked happily.

"I remember you being a mouthy little bastard from the previous timeline. I don't know how you were brought here, and I certainly don't know how to get you back. But If you want to save your mother, maybe you should conform, just for awhile, until we have this figured out." Bardock said as Gohan shook his head.

"I can't do that. I'm Son Gohan, I wasn't raised to be a galactic pirate. I wasn't raised to be a killer!" Gohan said as he began walking away.

"What about Cell?" Bardock asked as Gohan stopped and turned towards him.

He spoke shakily, "Cell was a special case. So was Frieza. There are always special cases. Even with those special cases, I have nightmares of killing Cell." Gohan said as he noticed he was now physically shaking. "Cell had to be killed. No matter how many times I tell myself that, I still dont get over my guilt." Gohan said as he breathed deeply.

"I'm going to go try to remember how I got here." Gohan said as he flew off, looking for a place to meditate. "Piccolo, there's nothing here even close to like being on Earth. Nothing Peaceful." Gohan said sadly as he closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes happily as he remembered the technique his father taught him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He put two fingers to his forehead and appeared on Earth.

"So peaceful, just what I needed." Gohan said as he sat before a lake. Just as he was about to meditate a ki blast came out of nowhere.

Gohan looked up and saw a tall green alien, he smiled happily. "Piccolo!" he said happily as the alien powered up another ki blast, pointed right at Gohan.

"Alright Saiyan, what are you doing on Earth!?" Piccolo said angrily as Gohan remembered this timeline, Piccolo might not know him. He flew up to meet Piccolo in the sky.

"I felt the need to meditate. To think what happened to the timeline that caused me to arrive here." Gohan said calmly as Piccolo lowered his hand.

"We made a deal Saiyan, you take the women you want, and I get to keep the planet as my plaything. So unless you're not here for more women, then get off my planet!" Piccolo said angrily as Gohan forgot that Piccolo was once known as the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo.

"Of course, how could I forget? If I may, meditate for 10 minutes. Then I will leave this planet. Alright Demon King?" Gohan requested as Piccolo threw a punch only for it to be caught easily be Gohan.

"Mr. Piccolo, don't make me hurt you." Gohan said dangerously, intimidating the Namekian.

"Very well Saiyan. You may have your ten minutes, afterwards YOU are not allowed on this planet for any reason, ever again. I see you on Earth again after today, it'll be a declaration of War." Piccolo said as Gohan nodded in agreement.

He began meditating quietly as Piccolo sat across from him, drifting into meditation himself.

-Flashback-

Gohan awoke in his bed with a soft body cuddled up to him. He smiled softly as he kissed her forehead and quietly got out of bed. He sat in the kitchen drinking some coffee when his father came down.

"Hey Gohan, how was school last night? Get any better yet?" Goku asked, knowing that Gohan's first few weeks of school he would complain every day after school.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. How was your anniversary last night? I got home, Goten left a sloppily written note saying you and Mother rushed him out of the house and to Bulma's for the week." Gohan said with a smirk as Goku, for once in his life, blushed.

"It went well, dinner was great... I won't disgust you with the other details." Goku said with a Roshi-esque grin.

"Well that's-" The sound of a large crash outside interrupted him.

The two Saiyans rushed outside to find a large crashed ship. Out of it came an abnormal, terrified looking alien. He was small and weak looking.

Gohan attempted to get close, "Hey buddy, what happened?" He said, approaching slowly so not to startle the being. "My name is Gohan, this is my father Goku, we want to help if possible." Gohan said as he looked back at Goku who nodded happily to the little guy.

As the alien let it's guard down, a bit of debris floated past Goku's nose, Causing him to sneeze, startling the alien, blasting Gohan with a strange beam.

-End Flashback-

Gohan opened his eyes to notice it was now night time. "I was meditating longer than expected." Gohan said as Piccolo smirked.

"Yeah kid, happens." He said calmly as Gohan looked at him oddly.

"You're not mad?" Gohan asked curiously as Piccolo smirked.

"While you meditated, I read your mind. I may not be the same Piccolo you know. But I can understand your plight. Honestly, your timeline is one I'd rather be living in. Less Saiyans and no Frieza, it sounds like a better life than living under the tyrant's thumb." Piccolo said as he stood up with Gohan.

"You're free to roam Earth as you please. We're allies untill you get home. I suggest you find out what kind of Alien that was, because I've never seen such a being." Piccolo said, putting an hand on Gohan's shoulder.

"Thanks Piccolo. I think for now, maybe I should find someone else." Gohan said as he remembered the girl from the beginning of the memory.

"The girl?" Piccolo asked with a smirk.

"Her name is Videl. Videl Satan. You wouldn't happen to have heard of her?" Gohan asked, considering her Father was the WMAT Champ in his timeline.

Piccolo smirked, "That fool Hercule tried to stand up to me a few years ago. I beat him within an inch of his life. His daughter pays tribute personally in an attempt to get on my good side, so she can train under me, just so she can attempt to overthrow me. She thinks I don't know this, but I figured it out long ago." Piccolo said with a laugh in his voice.

"I took her under my wing a couple years ago. She fights me on political issues, but she is a strong one." Piccolo stated, "She'll probably be in the dojo, knocking out my minions." Piccolo informed Gohan.

"Is she the 2nd strongest in the world right now?" Gohan asked as Piccolo nodded. "Good." He said, putting two fingers to his forehead once again and disappeared.

He appeared outside the dojo and Piccolo was right. "Did she get anchored like Bardock and I did?" Gohan whispered to himself as she dropped several of Piccolo's minions. "I won't know until she sees me. If Piccolo is right, she'll either recognize me as a Saiyan whose come to take her to Vegeta or she'll recognize me as... well as me." Gohan said to himself, nervous that he'll be seen as her slaver.

'I can't do that. Not right now.' Gohan thought as he began to teleport once again. Videl looked towards him and saw his signature hair and felt his power before he disappeared.

She stepped out and looked around. "Gohan? Was that you?" She said, her eyes tearing up. 'He was here, why wouldn't he save me?' Videl thought to herself as she dropped to her knees and sobbed a little. When she stood Piccolo stood before her.

"You recognized him, didn't you?" Piccolo asked as Videl wiped her eyes and nodded.

"Why didn't he come for you?" He asked, hoping to corrupt her, to use her against him.

Her face turned angry and looked up at him, "I don't know. But he's going to regret leaving me here." Videl said angrily as she point her palm towards the room, destroying the city she pointed the palm at, causing Piccolo to smirk.

-Planet Vegeta-

Gohan appeared before Bardock. "You went to Earth, didn't you?" Bardock asked as Gohan looked at him sadly and nodded. "I'm sorry. Did you see her?" Bardock asked as Gohan nodded.

"Saiyans have been taking Earth women?" Gohan asked as Bardock looked away in anger.

"So you found out about that? It's because of your father he wanted Chi-Chi. He killed so many to get to her and made an agreement with Piccolo and now Saiyans give Piccolo the children of the pairings as his elite guard in exchange for women. If it werent for me, you and Goten wouldve been sent to Earth as his guards. I thought of the possibility of you changing Piccolo like the first time, but at the time you were still like any other Saiyan." Bardock said as Gohan nodded in understanding.

"I was going to go to her... I was, but then I thought that maybe she wouldn't see me as Gohan... but as her Saiyan captor. I couldnt have her look at me like that. Like she feared me, I'd never want to see that in her eyes when looking at me." Gohan said as he sat down.

"Well, I hope you made the right choice. If there is no way back, you'll be stuck in this world without her." Bardock said as Gohan nodded in understanding.

"I should get home, I'll meet up with you tomorrow I suppose." Gohan said, walking slowly out the door and back to his parent's house.

That's Chapter 1, I hope you all enjoyed.

I really am enjoying writing this story and I will try and post as often as possible, BUT I am trying to read a few books, so some days I won't write at all and some days I might write some and some I might write completely.

I wanted to end it after Videl destroyed a city, but the chapter was too short. So I added a little bit.

Read & Review :)
