Thank you for all who reviewed! It means a lot to me! ( Is there any writer who doesn't love reviews!)This chapter is longer than the previous so enjoy! And Ki Rae; I had something like that in my mind so I hope you like how I make it come out. Read on and review!
Note: I made a slight mistake in previous chapter. I said Gohan was a demi-Saiya-jin. When ChiChi wished to be a Saiya-jin it also affected Gohan's human genes coming from ChiChi's side thus making him a full-blooded Saiya-jin. So Gohan's pure blooded in this fic, ok?
Gohan landed with a soft thud on the Capsule Corporation yard, couple of meters behind his cranky father. He recalled foggily his sire saying something about 'taking a day off...' A fine off-day this turned out to be, Gohan chuckled little smugly. Hey, he was a nice boy but he was still a Saiya-jin, so being a mini-asshole was allowed, wasn't it? He half-ran in behind his father. Something in his gut told him that this was strongly related to that weird sensation only fifteen minutes ago.
Absentmindedly he began counting the possibilities of new enemy type, strategies and injuries that could be received during this ordeal. A habit developed unconsciously, mind you. Gohan grimaced. No doubt the other senshi were running the same thought through their own minds at the moment as well.
...And what possibly he could ever tell Videl so she'd swallow it without suspicions. Wait! She always suspected no matter what and why he was even thinking this. It wasn't like they couldn't wipe the memory of the Earthlings for the umpteenth time... frowning he concentrated on Videl's chi. No really reason, you know. Just to check so she didn't jump behind a couch or something like that. Nuhhuh. He wasn't really checking on her chi just to fell it... right? ...It was currently moving with quite speed and Gohan guessed she was again alerted to serve justice. He almost automatically turned to Super Saiya-jin and almost took airbone to go and help her as a Golden Fighter.
He slapped his head. Oh shit! This wasn't good! He was becoming automatic... he needed more training.
" Gohan! You coming or not or are you going to fly to that Idiot's daughter?" Goku smirked from the door and Gohan gave a half-smirk and pout.
He walked in to see everyone gathered in the living room. Goku and Vegeta both cranky but somewhat eager, Bulma and ChiChi slightly nervous. The women hadn't despite their training and being turned into Saiya-jins over a decade ago, taken part that much in real death-live fights, but their experience was growing. Goten and Trunks, the spawns of Hell as was so affectionately dubbed by Z senshi, were chattering unconcerned. A new foe that couldn't be more harder to defeat than Majin Buu, so this was what they supposed was a 'piece of cake with cherry on top.' The Chestnuts were just lounging around and Yamcha and Tien and Chaozu just came in from the other entrance.
" Finally, Kakarott spawn I!" Vegeta growled and agilely pushed himself off the wall, in akimbo, stalking in middle of the room. " So whatta hell's going on!" he demanded. None said anything as everybody's eyes shifted on Goku. In situation like this, there was no room for bantering or stupid questions or for small talk whatsoever. The other full-blooded Saiya-jin rose up, wearing the semi-expression of his battle scowl.
" I haven't got the slightest clue yet. That's why were here. To find out. Master Kaiou-sama?" he called looking upwards and the others followed his gaze. They waited anxiously.
A minute passed... another...and another... Vegeta received a tick on his left eye corner... another... Gohan rose an eyebrow... seconds crawled by...
" Uhm... Kaiou-sama? You there!" Goku asked again irritated, feeling incredibly stupid at the moment.
: GOOOKKUUUUU? YOUR SAIYA-JIN ASS DECIDED TO FINALLY COME! WHAT THE FUCK TOOK SO LONG? I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TWENTY MINUTES, ALMOST! AND IN THIS CASE TIME IS UNIVERSE: the ever giddy god's voice boomed thru the living room making acute alien ears ring. God how everybody just itched to start a yelling contest with the over seer of the Northern Quadrant... Everybody was rolling eyes and making faces.
" Time is Universe?" Gohan repeated baffled.
: YES YES YES FOR KAMI'S SAKE YES: Master Kaiou went on with his frantic soap-opera scene then magically calming down, regaining his godly cool and composure. : Yes. Twenty minutes ago something drastic happened and it's too much for the Universe to bear. The tremor you felt was one side effect of it. You see, the Universe has a certain amount of chi which consist of planets, stars and galaxies and the space itself. It has it's natural ways of keeping itself in balance so there always the same amount of chi everywhere. Now this balance is disturbed.:
" But... how? How it can just suddenly change? And what about us? I mean doesn't our chi count on anything?" Bulma asked in return, frowning. Long ago had her physics and biology lessons gone to the Hell due being introduced to such thing as chi and even more went to join the supposed knowledge already residing in Hell.
: No. Living beings energy is in the different section and it doesn't have anything to with the Universe's ancient chi. The Grand Chi, as it's called, is abiotic, non-living things. To put in short; it's the same energy as in Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb for dubbies) which is why the attack is so effective and takes so much time to charge because the energy is different and channels differently. Besides the living beings chi has unlimited limits it doesn't affect the Universe. It's not tied to it like the Grand Chi.
And now the thing is... that someone used Namek Dragonball's to wish back a planet which increased the Grand Chi which threw the balance off, you realize it's really sensitive and fragile, and now the Universe carries too much energy and it's kinda cracking apart... hehee... :
The dead silence ensued and not even the most usual background effects such as cricketing didn't dare to even consider. The stony and murderous faces of the CC living room occupants were enough to scare crap out of evil Kid Majin Buu.
" AND WHATTA HELL YOU THINK WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!" Vegeta screamed. If he ever got his hands on that unfortunate soul who had done this deed... he'd... SENSORED. NO RATINGS IN THE WORLD COULD EVER BE ENOUGH
" My thoughts exactly." pointed ChiChi and Kuririn in unison. How's that they always managed to, or Master Kaiou managed to egt them into situations like these. Gohan sighed in relief and dread. In relief he was going to die and didn't have to face the wrath of certain feisty tempered Videl or attempt any explanations. Dread: they were going to die again and how they could possibly ever even try to pull something like this. Saving Universe; sure! Easy job! Saving Universe when it's crumbling around you; come again? You want me to do what!
Not a chance in Hell!
: Now you didn't give me a chance to explain: the annoyed deity screamed. : The energy cracks the Universe and it feeds on negative Chi and it creates creatures which are gonna destroy the Universe. So all you have to do is to kill off those monsters born from the chi overload. Simple, huh:
" Oh..." the Z senshi said in unison, completely relaxed now and you could say almost happy. This was going to be good ol' kick-the-bad-guy-ass fight after all!
On planet Vegetasei, beyond some twists and turns of the time-space continuum which caused the time flow differently in other places depending on the amount of the atomic mass at times; so planet Vegetasei was a week ahead from our heroes who were still in the moment A) 'twenty minutes after the wish' when the Saiya-jin planet was in time B) ' precisely a week after the wish', but the time was still relative and it always was in the same moment, going faster or slower when needed without affecting or to be noticed by the living realm. ( Confused? Read it couple of times and it will start making sense.) So, now in time B), in front of the King Vegeta, sat kneeling the mohawked Saiya-jin who had wished the planet back. The throne room was decorated for the party occasion when Karifurauu, the savior of Saiya-jin race, was promoted to Super Elite status.
" Rise Karifurauu. And take this honor medal for your services." the King announced happily, he was still giddy about living, as the crowd cheered and hooted and threw chi blasts around. Karifurauu rose gracefully, nodding respectfully to the King and his advisors.
" My King, I still have some hopeful and good news. From reliable sources I've found out that your son is still alive with couple of surviving Saiya-jins."
The whole big throne room ceased every move and sound as everybody was beyond shocked. Their prince had survived all these years! The great hall suddenly burst with sound and cheering so loud it was hurting their own ears.
The King was almost crying. His son was alive after all these years! And his race was getting another chance! Oh joy...
'" I'm sure when we find him or when he finds us, he'll thank you and make your first subordinate and praise your courage as we do!" the king said proudly and made a little hand sign to continue/start the partying.
" I'm sure he will and I'm happy." Karifurauu declared smugly but warmly. Ah! It was good to be with his own people for the first time...
Videl's eyes met the great yellow dome of the CC in the horizon and she decided to land. She maneuvered her vehicle down, hopped out and re-capsulized it. No need to take any risks. Sometimes she swore Gohan heard her coming from a mile away and it obviously ran in family, so no need to alert super-hearing people with her copter. She strutted forwards with a scowl, making passers-by jump out of her way like lightning bolts.
There was something wrong with Son Gohan in general and she was going to find out what. The CC building came into view and Videl hastened her pace to run. Okay, this was the plan. She'd rush in and demand whatta hell was going on and got her answers from both son and father. They would have no chance escape. This was mystery was equal to solved. She smirked and rushed inside the front gate and headed for the front door. She would have her answers now!
:... so basically I'll teleport you there where the abominations are breeding and being born right now and the Goku you'll teleport everyone back thru planets, k: Mster Kaiou explained to everyone. This mission required everybody's help. : Ready: he asked and Z gang nodded and prepared mentally for the transmission to the other end of the Galaxy.
The white light engulfed the room and the door surprisingly banged open and a enraged female specimen ran in.
" SON GOHAN! I' WILL REVEAL YOUR- THE FUCK?" Videl was blinded by the odd light. Her body felt oddly weightless as she was sucked thru some kind of filter... she screamed.
" Oh fuck..." she could hear Gohan's voice whine as everything went black.
A/N: Oh hooray! The stage is set! Review! And suggestions are welcome! Ja ne!
