Chapter 5 - Part A

Bulma arrives at Goku's house. She quickly gets out of the plane, runs over to the house and bangs on the door. Goku answers soon after: "What's wrong, Bulma?"

"Goku, I need your help. Vegeta's acting strange. I think he might be turning evil again."

Goku steps outside, closes the door behind him and walks out to the yard. "Slow down, Bulma. What would give you this idea?"

"He's been training non-stop since last night and he's completely ignoring everyone. Me, Trunks, everyone."

"This has only been happening since last night you say. Maybe he's just in a bad mood."

"I know my husband. He's always in a bad mood. But something is definitely wrong."

"You should listen to the lady. She's a bright girl."

Ginyu is hovering in the sky above them with his arms crossed. He slowly lowers to the ground.

"Vegeta, I told you to wait for me and watch the workers."

"HA! Like I care!"

Goku scrunches his nose like he's trying to remember something: 'I know that laugh from somewhere…..OH GOD! Capt. Ginyu!' "So when did you switch, Ginyu?"

Ginyu walks slowly towards the Saiyan. "Ahhh Goku, you remember. Yesterday morning. I've been spending my time learning how to use this body. I've grown quite accustomed to the prince of Saiyans."

The two are now face to face. The stare down seems like it lasts for hours but it's only a couple of seconds. "Why, Vegeta? It's obvious I'm much stronger than him."

Ginyu grins and an energy ball forms in his hand that hangs by his side. "That's what you think."

Ginyu lifts his hand and gets ready to throw the ball. Goku gets in position to block and Bulma runs to hide behind a tree. All of a sudden, Ginyu freezes in mid motion. Bulma looks shocked as Ginyu stays frozen in front of a blocking Goku. "What happened? Why wasn't there a boom?"

Ginyu's ball of energy goes out. "I….can't…..move." Goku remains frozen as well. "Me neither. What is this?"

"I'm sorry. That would be my doing." The three hear a strange voice coming from an unknown figure. "What? Can't find me? Here, let me help you out."

Out of nowhere pops a small green alien dressed in a mercenary outfit. He is standing between the tree where Bulma is hiding and the two frozen warriors. Goku's head is frozen but he sees the figure out of the corner of his eye. "You must be Guldon."

"And you must be Goku. I see Tranmy has contacted you. Otherwise you wouldn't know who I am. Now tell me: where is the old fool?"

"I sent him off. Said that this was the first place you would look for him and told him to get as far away as possible."

Bulma continues to listen from behind the tree. She turns and sees Tranmy peeking out the window with Chi-Chi and Goten standing beside him. She makes a signal for them to stay in the house then quickly turns her attention back to the three when Ginyu begins to recognize Guldon as well. "You? You look like a former member of my team: Guldo."

"So you were the Captain that enlisted my pathetic little brother. He was never worth the trouble anyway."

"Don't you talk down on any former member of my team! I swear when I….."

A simple wave of his hand and Guldon makes Ginyu faint.

"It's amazing what mind webbing the right brain cells can do. Now, I am only going to ask one more time: Where is Tranmy?"

"I told you: not here."

"Wrong answer."

All of a sudden, Goku, still frozen, screams in terrible pain. "You see, Goku: before I was mind webbing your muscles, paralyzing you. Now I'm creating a mind web for your blood stream, but your heart keeps pumping. Now, personally I don't know what it feels like to have your heart keep pumping while your blood is not moving, but I don't think it could be too pleasant."

Goku continues to let out a shrill of terror.

Goten comes running out. "Leave my daddy alone!"

Goku tries to plead to Goten. "Stay back Goten! Daddy's alright. Just stay back."

"NO!"

Goten powers up to Super Saiyan and gets ready to charge at Guldon. Chi-Chi comes running out and grabs him before he charges. "No Goten. Now is not the time. Please, stay here with me."

Guldon gave a little smirk to Chi-Chi and turns his attention back towards Goku. "You have a smart wife, Goku. Now: Where…the hell….is….TRANMY!?" "I…..don't…..know. AHHHH!"

Guldon release his mental hold on Goku and the Saiyan falls to the floor. "You're a tough one, Goku. I'll make you a deal. I'll give you 24 hours to produce Tranmy. If you don't, then I will take your word that he is not on this planet and have it destroyed. I'll take it you'll make the right decision."

Goku is on both hands and knees and looks up at Guldon in agony. Guldon grins and just like that….he's gone.

Chapter 5 - Part B

Videl flies through the air of Satan City as the Great Saiyaman. She is tailing a car that is speeding way past the speed limit. The car tries to make as many turns, and puts as many lives as in can in danger to try and lose Videl, but she use her ki blasts to keep the car away from civilians.

Further up on the road; Gohan, with his sunglasses and bandanna, waits patiently for the car to reach him. As the car gets closer, the thug in the passenger seat takes out a gun. He aims at Gohan and fires two shots. Gohan, with ease, dodges both bullets.

The driver, now angry at his tailgaters, speeds up to hit Gohan. The Great Saiyman jumps in the nick of time and lands on the hood the car. The thug in the passenger seat yells. "What the hell are you doing?! Get him off!"

"I'm trying. It's like he's stuck to the car." The car swerves and speeds up trying to get Gohan off. All of a sudden, the car fishtails and is headed straight for a store. Gohan jumps off and the car crashes.

The two men get out and point their guns right at Gohan. Videl quickly pounces on the two men and kick the guns out of their hands. Gohan just stands and watches as Videl beats the men up and cuffs them. He then takes a look at his watch and a look of shock runs across his face."Videl, I gotta run!"

"It's ok. I got everything covered here. Go home."

Gohan takes off full speed towards home.

Chapter 6 - Part A

Bulma races in her plane to get Tranmy, the unconscious Ginyu and a recovering Goku back to Capsule Corp. to think of a new plan. She left Chi-Chi and Goten alone to wait for Gohan. She figured they would be safe since Tranmy is the one Guldon wants. Goku and Ginyu are in the back resting and Tranmy is in the front seat talking to Bulma.

Tranmy tells Bulma the same story he told Goku. Bulma, of course, has many questions. "Where would someone get enough energy to run this machine?"

"There is an ancient legend called the Stone of the Ages. The story is about a black hole storm that was manifested in one of the old galaxies and sucked in many planets, stars, asteroids, space debris and even time itself into it. When the storm cleared many beings lost their lives. Their ki and rubble from the other objects were all crammed into a single stone. The stone fell through the galaxies and ended up on an abandoned planet.

"It is believed that this stone contains in it eternity and time: the most powerful forces to ever exist. With it one can control unlimited power, forces, and even existence itself."

"Gatesbill believed this legend to be true and sent out his army to find it. They did and he gave it to me so I can find a way to transfer the energy of eternity to the weapon. The energy in the stone was more than enough to wipe out all of existence. I couldn't let that happen so I put the stone in my body so he couldn't find it and ran away."

"Wait, you put the stone in you?"

"Yes. I surgically put the stone inside of me. Now I will have to die before they could ever get it."

Bulma begins to ponder what this means. 'If this stone really has the energy of an entire galaxy, then being inside of him could backfire in an extremely bad way. If somehow this stone is activated while still inside of him, Tranmy would become a….a God.' "Tranmy, why don't you go back there and check on those two."

Tranmy gets up and starts slowly walking towards the back. He notices that Goku is sitting up and looks deep in thought. "How are you feeling, Goku?"

"My body is healed but my pride is hurt much more. The power this Guldon had, it was…..unthinkable. I mean, all the power I had, all the strength that I have been working for ever since I was a boy….it was nothing compared to the power his mind had over me."

"Don't beat yourself up about it. If there was a way, I believe you, out of everyone in the universe, would find it."

"I could really use Vegeta right about now. Too bad Ginyu had to resurface when he did. Talk about bad timing huh?"

Just as Goku said that Ginyu's eyes began to open. The two make eye contact for a split second. Ginyu grins and lets out a scream while he releases his energy in an explosion that blows up the entire plane.

Bulma and Tranmy go flying through the air. Goku flies as fast as he to grab both of them. He lands behind a rock in the desert where the plane blew up over. All over the ground are pieces of the exploded plane on fire. The three try to catch their breath. Behind them Ginyu stands in the middle of the desert screaming for Goku. "Come on out, Mr. Super Saiyan, and show me exactly how much more powerful you are than Vegeta. Well that is of course if you're not scared. Or maybe I should pay a visit to your house now that I know where it is. See if I can introduce myself to that supposedly lovely wife of yours. What was her name again….ahh yes: Chi-Chi. Or maybe the younger one: Goten was it? Lets see how long he holds on before he gives in to the pain I will cause him to feel."

"That's enough!"

Goku steps out from behind the rock and faces Ginyu. "Don't you threaten my family any longer. You want me? You got me." Goku powers up to Super Saiyan.

"You are going to have to power up way beyond that level if you even want to be on the same battlefield as me, Goku."

"Is that so? And what secret of Saiyan power did you find that Vegeta could not?"

"It is something I have noticed from watching the Saiyan race evolve; from being under the rule of Frieza to witnessing you battle endless number of foes on this planet: Saiyans are evil. Whether you want to accept it or not is irrelevant. The Saiyan race is not one that draws its power upon love but by hate. That is the only reason they get stronger after healing; it is because after they restore to full strength their hate for their opponent grows. That is what I learned from being in Vegeta's body. Just look at the times Vegeta reaches the level of a Super Saiyan. First, he realizes that there is only pure evil in his heart. Then, to reach the second level Babidi harnesses the evil in his heart once again. But Vegeta over the years has lost touch of that hate. He has begun to love and that is the one thing a Saiyan must never do in order to gain true power."

"You're wrong, Ginyu. Love is a force more powerful than anything. When you want to fight until the end, love is the only thing that can push you beyond your limits to a Super Saiyan."

"Oh really? Then how did I reach the level of Super Saiyan 3 with Vegeta's body?"

Goku has a complete look of horror and shock on his face. Ginyu smirks, then lets out a scream unlike anything Goku has ever heard before. Before he knew it, light completely surrounded and blinded Goku. Electricity and lightning fall from the sky and strike Ginyu, who is being hid by the light. The ground begins to shake, and when the dust clears…..Ginyu is a Super Saiyan 3.

Chapter 6 - Part B

Gohan approaches his house when he senses something wrong inside. He quickly lands and runs inside. "Mom, Dad, Goten? Anybody here?" "We're over here, Gohan." He sees Goten and Chi-Chi over on the couch. "What happened here mom?" Chi-Chi then goes on to explain.

Gohan takes charge immediately. "It's not safe here we have to leave."

"It's ok, Gohan. Guldon only wants Tranmy and he is not here so we have nothing to worry about."

"You don't understand, mom. I knew Guldon's brother. I know the family and I know their kind. They don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want. We are not safe here. We have to leave now."

"Ok. Ok."

Chi-Chi and Goten stand up and the three walk to the door. They walk outside and Guldon is standing there waiting for them. "So nice to see you two again. And who is this new one?"

"I'm Gohan. And you better leave now."

"Ooooo. Harsh words there."

"I have dealt with your kind before and I know what you're capable of."

"Oh really? You must be talking about my brother. Well the difference between me and my brother is that he trusted his life to a simple team of 5 people; while I travel with an army."

Then out of nowhere, a humongous ship falls from the sky and lands behind Guldon. When it opens up troops in massive numbers come pouring out. Chi-Chi begins to scream at Guldon. "You told us we had 24 hours!"

Guldon smirks. "Heh. I lied."

The troops begin to charge at the family. Goten and Gohan power up and get in front of Chi-Chi. They punch, kick and blast all they can but the soldiers just keep coming. What the army lacks in power they make up for with sheer numbers. An endless wave of soldiers keeps coming. Goten and Gohan fly and jump around to try and get the battle away from Chi-Chi. What they don't realize is this is exactly what Guldon wants.

Guldon continues to watch the battle from a distance and behind him the ship looks completely deserted. Then a single figure comes walking out of the ship wearing a business suit. He stops and stands next to Guldon. "I assume this is part of your plan?"

"100% sir. The stone will be yours in no time. And I assume my money is being transferred as we speak?"

"That was the deal wasn't it. You worry about the stone. Let me worry about the money."

"Yes, sir. Now if you'll excuse me I have business to attend to."

Guldon walks away from the man and continues to make his way towards the hiding Chi-Chi.

The battle between the army and the two half-Saiyan brothers continue. Then the army retreats quickly and get back aboard their ship. The ship takes off and before Gohan and Goten know what's going on the army of soldiers is gone…..and so is Chi-Chi.
