Chapter 3, A Badly Worded Wish… How it all started.
Around 2 years ago….
Trunks and Goten had just finished a huge meal at capsule corp. Instead of training more, they decided to go up to Trunk's room and play some video games. Nothing new there, although they both very much enjoyed testing their strength against one another, they were still children. Children raised on earth at that, so video games were a regular pass time.
"Hey Trunks," Goten began after several moments of silent concentration, his eyes remained focused on the television and his fingers didn't miss a beat as they strategically smashed the buttons to control his character.
"What?" Trunks replied after a moment, continuing to play from his spot sitting cross legged on his bed a short distance from Goten.
"Have you ever wondered what our grandparents were like?" Goten asked of his friend.
"Uhh, not really Goten, I live with them." Trunks' replied simply, continuing to play.
"No, I mean our Saiyan grandparents." Hearing this, Trunks hit the pause button on his controller, halting the game abruptly.
Goten looked at him in a rather annoyed fashion. "You only did that because I was about to ult your sorry butt."
Trunks scoffed as he set his control aside, "Pfft, as if. I would have countered and killed you. But we will get back to that in a minute." He turned to look at Goten. "Yeah, I have. I asked my dad about it once, I got the feeling he didn't really want to talk about his mom. But he did tell me his dad was an ass." Trunks crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at his bedspread in deep thought.
"My dad says he doesn't remember his father or mother. Isn't that sad Trunks?" Goten had turned so that they were facing each other still sitting cross legged. Goten placed his hands on his knees and watched Trunks think, a very curious look on his face.
"Hn, yeah, it kind of is. My dad told me once that a lot of Saiyan babies didn't mean their parents until after they returned from their first mission. And that sometimes they were already 5 or 6 years old by that time." Trunks was still looking down at his bed, and Goten was getting more and more anxious as the seconds passed.
"What ya thinkin, Trunks?" Goten finally asked, leaning forward slightly to get a better look at Trunks pondering face.
Trunks smirked, a very mischievous smirk, and looked straight at Goten. "I'm thinking we should make a wish."
Moments later found the boys sneaking out of Bulma's lab, Dragon Radar in hand.
"Do you really think this is a good idea, Trunks?" Goten asked, barely above a whisper.
"I think it's a great idea, Goten. If I didn't, I wouldn't have suggested it." Trunks replied smugly.
It didn't take the two Demi-Super-Saiyans more than a couple hours to find and gather all 7 balls. With any luck, they would be back before Bulma realized they were gone. And with visitors!
The two demi's set all 7 balls down, they were in a large desert somewhere, but because it was the middle of winter, if was fairly cold in the normally scorching desert.
They summoned the dragon quickly. The sky darkened unnaturally, the clouds rolled away, and amazing lightning shot from the balls and up into the sky. Shenron appeared, coiled about himself in the sky. His energy illuminating him against the darkness. "Why have you summon me, state your wishes." His voice boomed in the empty expanse of the desert.
Goten and Trunks had talked a little bit about their wish, but they hadn't worked out the exact wording… shoot, they probably should have done that before summoning the notoriously impatient dragon.
Trunks swallowed before he spoke, "Uhm, yes great dragon, we want our fathers Saiyan relatives, and any other saiyan that was important to their lives brought back here on earth."
Goten added hastily as soon as Trunks was done speaking, "But if they're like really bad, make them not bad… OH! And make some of them females too."
The Dragons eyes flashed before his booming voice replied to the two demi's, "It has been done. State your second wish."
The boys looked at each other a moment before Goten had a good idea, "Hey Trunks, how about we wish for our tails back?"
A huge smile appeared on Trunks' face. "Yeah! Okay Shenron, we wish that all the Saiyan and half-Saiyans currently living without tails get their tails back!"
Shenron's eyes glowed again, "It has been done. Farewell."
"TRUNKS! GOTEN! What have you done now?!" Both boys froze as Vegeta's voice, dripping with anger, came from behind them.
"Calm down, Vegeta, I'm sure they have a perfectly good explanation." Goku's voice came from the same direction, and the boys relaxed. They knew that Goku would keep Vegeta from doing something bad… Like beating them to a pulp as punishment. Slowly they turned to face their fathers. But the shocked look on their dads faces had them turning back to face where they had been to see a small group of Saiyans making their way towards them.
"Vegeta… Am I seeing things?" It took a moment for Goku's words to sink in, and Vegeta replied harshly. "No you fool, the runts went and wished back some Saiyans." Vegeta's tail lashed angrily behind him, Goku noticing its return for the first time, he then glanced to the boys and noticed they were both sporting brown furry appendages also. Then he grabbed his own tail, "HEY! Vegeta! They also wished all our tails back! How cool!"
Goku's words almost didn't register, but once they did, Vegeta quickly wrapped his tail around his waist. "Hn, so they did." Vegeta started forward, walking past the two demi-saiyans, to the now stopped group of what looked to be his and Kakarrots relatives. Right away he spotted Raditz and a man whom he assumed to be Bardock, since he was practically a dark, scarred carbon copy of Kakarrot. Then his father emerged from the group, and he groaned. Vegeta turned and walked back over to the two demis. Smacking them both up-side the head before lifting them by their gi's and shaking them. "What. EXACTLY. Made you two think that THIS was a good idea?" He motioned with his head to the group behind him.
"Vegeta? What is going on here?" Vegeta groaned again before dropping the demi's whom landed roughly on their butts, and turned to face his father. Absently noticing that all the saiyans were in their armor, he motioned to the two children and spoke sharply. "I can't speak to their reasoning, but these two decided to bring you and apparently a few others back from other world."
Goku finally stepped forward, "Dad?" Goku looked to Raditz, who looked slightly pissed off, but also intrigued. He nodded in acknowledgement to his brother.
"Kakarrot? No way… What the hell is happening?!" Goku walked towards his father and brother, about to greet them, but he stopped when someone from the back shouted,
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? AND WHY THE HELL AM I A WOMAN!" The group parted to reveal a small woman, wearing a white tank top, white genie style pants, and a red sash. Goku's jaw dropped.
"Broly?!" Goku asked in shock and confusion.
Broly's eyes narrowed at him, and he gulped just a little bit. He knew he was now much strong then Broly, but he didn't relish the idea of the fight he very much suspected was about to take place.
"I was just wondering the same thing." Another voice from behind Bardock said aloud. The group turned and saw another female, this one being slightly larger in stature but still very feminine. It seemed female saiyans muscles were infinitely more compact, allowing for a sleek athletic build instead of the body builder type physique that the men had.
"Tora!?" Bardocks jaw dropped, and the group looked back and forth between Broly and Tora, before turned to look at Trunks and Goten who had both groaned loudly.
"Boy, what did you do?" Vegeta asked of his son.
Trunks replied quickly, wishing to avoid his father's wrath. "It wasn't me! It was Goten. He screwed up the wish!"
All eyes turned to the other boy in question.
"Goten, What wish did you make?" Goku asked, keeping an eye on Broly, whom he was sure would blow up any minute.
Goten looked like he was about to run away in a panic. "I didn't mean too, Dad…" His face scrunched up, and he continued, speaking quickly. "Trunks wished for you and Vegeta-Sama's saiyan relatives, and any other Saiyan that was important to your lives to be brought back here on earth. When he said that, I remembered that not all the saiyans were good. So I told the dragon before he could grant the wish that if they were bad, to make them not bad, and to make some of the female too… I didn't mean to turn the boys into girls, I meant to make sure that there were women brought back too… I didn't mean to, dad. I swear."
Goten looked like he was about to bawl, until Goku and Vegeta started laughing hysterically.
"Kakarrot! Your brat brought Broly back as a good little woman!" Vegeta said between great guffaws of laughter. Seeing the look of mirth on his long-time rival and friends face, he couldn't help but to double over laughing even harder as he clutched at his abdomen.
The group of Saiyans behind them stood confused, the boys words only causing more questions. After several minutes, King Vegeta had had enough. And said so, "Enough!" Goku and Vegeta straightened, looking at the man's stern face for only a moment before the laughter started again.
On their own time, Goku and Vegeta finally stopped laughing and looked to the group. "Who is among you?" Vegeta asked, looking over the group to see some faces that were familiar, and others he had never seen before.
Kind Vegeta looked very annoyed at their blatant disregard for his command. But turned to look at the group.
"Myself, and your mother Thala, the queen, also her personal guard Hana, who was for all intent and purposes your nanny as a babe. Nappa." Vegeta groaned as his eyes fell on the hulking bald saiyan, the king continued, "And my personal guards Darius and Garen. I do not know these saiyans."
Bardock stepped forward then, "Well, obviously I'm here, I am Bardock. This is my eldest son Raditz. A much changed Tora, whom was my lieutenant in my purging squad, and Fasha whom was also a member of my squad and a friend. And I see my brother Turles, although I can't say I'm thrilled." Goku grimaced, he knew Turles. Hell, he was the one who had killed him. He hadn't known at the time that he was his uncle, although the fact that they looked so similar should have been a clue, now that he thought about it.
Bardock kept looking, and finally saw his mate at the back of the group, standing a short ways away from Broly. His mate has been badly injured on her last purge before conceiving Kakarrot, leaving her nearly deaf and blind. Bardock slowly approached her, both Raditz and Goku watching intently. Raditz had not seen his mother in a very long time, but he knew it to be her. Goku on the other hand stared in wonderment as his father took his mother's hands and slowly leaned in to kiss her. "Mezia." He said just before their lips touched. It was a brief kiss. But Goku felt it meant everything to his parents. He knew for sure that she was his mother now, Raditz hair was nearly the same as hers, only slightly wilder.
"Come Mez, come meet Kakarrot." Goku's eyes widened as he watched his father guild his mother his way. They stopped just before him and her eyes squinted as she reached her hands up to either side of his face, feeling his features. "He looks just like you, Bardock." She said quietly, her voice sweet. Kakarrot laughed lightly, as she removed her hands.
"Goten," He called over his shoulder, "You wanted to meet your grandparents so here they are." Goten approached slowly and Goku took a step back to allow Goten to take his place. "Mother, Father, this is my second son, Goten." Goten smiled shyly at his grandparents, "It's nice to meet you." He said quietly looking from his grandmother to his grandfather. "Wow! Dad, you really do look just like Grampa, and that means I do to!" Goku chuckled. "Yeah, so you do Goten."
Vegeta's reunion with his father was less warm, although he did greet his mother, "Hello mother." She smiled at her son, admiring how he had grown, how he carried himself, and his obvious strength. Pride over whelmed her, "Hello son. How are you?" He nodded, "I am well. Mother, this is my son Trunks." He turned to the side allowing Trunks to come stand between him and the group. His mother's reaction to his son was nearly comical! "His hair!" She took a step closer reaching out to touch it, it fell like silk between her fingers and she smiled. "Its beautiful. I have never seen anything like it." Vegeta smirked, "Yes, his unusual hair color comes from his mother's father, and his eyes from her. Although, it's not so unusual on this planet." His mother nodded quickly, realization setting in, "Of course, he would only be half Saiyan. What is the other half?" Vegeta nodded again, "The other half is human. Of planet earth, which is where you find yourself."
King Vegeta had been observing the exchange silently, and scoffed now. "How disgusting, mixing our Royal saiyan blood. Is he at least strong?" Trunks and the queen both looked shocked, were as Vegeta just looked pissed. After a moment though, his expression changed to a smug grin. He looked down to his son, "Trunks, why don't you show your dear grandfather just how strong you are. I'm sure he would be open to a friendly spar." The look on his face, and his tone of voice told Trunks exactly what his father wanted him to do, and that was beat his grandfather's face in. "Take your time, and enjoy it boy." Trunks nodded and looked back to his grandfather, challenge written all over his face.
The king smirked. "Youre not worth my time. Nappa." He stepped aside allowing the hulking man to step forward. "Deal with this mutt."
The look of anger that flashed onTrunks' face at the word 'mutt' had Goten giggling "uhho. Dad, I think we better step back." Goku nodded in agreement and turned to walk away. The group of saiyans following. He stopped a few yards away.
Trunks looked up to his father for approval, he got it in the form of a nod. And Vegeta walked to join Kakarrot and the rest, his father and his guards going in the opposite direction, to observe the fight from the other side. Once the small area was cleared, Nappa charged, landing a hulking fist on the demi's face.
Trunks didn't budge, his head didn't even move. He smirked at the man before letting his power roll off him in waves, lifting his hair and depressing the ground beneath him. He moved in a flash, Goku, Goten, and Vegeta being the only ones present to see his movements. Trunks struck powerfully all over the giants body, he wanted to incapacitate him, not kill him, so he pulled his punches quite a bit. Mere seconds later, he landed on the ground a few feet away from Nappa. And only a second after that, the hulking form fell to the ground, bloody, bruised and unconscious. He turned to look at the king. A smirk forming on his face.
"Darius, Garen." The king stated simply. And as the men flew at him, Trunks let his feet slide apart slightly, widening his stand. He put his arms up, and blocked the attacks. Again, not moving under the miniscule force of the blows. Trunks effortlessly bat away the offending limbs, and dropped down to sweep their feet. The Saiyans hadn't even touched the ground yet, and Trunks was upon them, dealing each man blows with the power to stop a charging freight train.
And once again. It all happened to fast for the new comers to see, and all too soon, it was over.
The king charged the young demi, but his blow was met only by air as Trunks had moved behind him. King Vegeta roared as a tap was felt on his shoulder, he spun around, ready to strike viciously. But he was simply to slow, and a single punch from Trunks left him sprawling on the ground.
Trunks landed gracefully near his father who had approached, seeing the "battle" ending. Vegeta wore the same proud smirk his son did. The shamed King stood slowly, and looked to his son and grandson. He looked angry, shocked, and simply pitiful.
Goten couldn't help it anymore, he laughed.
Tbc…
Well, that should have answered some questions. :D Hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
Sorry about the switching between 'Kakarrot' and 'Goku'. I was trying to establish a base for future chapters. The Saiyans will call him Kakarrot for the most part. But his earth family/friends will continue to call him Goku.
A Special Thanks to TaniaKoi who added this to her favs the first day it was up!
