Just above the rings of Saturn, what looked like ripples in space, a ship emerged from the distortion. The ship was badly damaged from energy blasts and the trip through the distortion didn't help matters.

Another ship came through the distortion. The instant the ship had come through, it locked and fired weapons at the other ship. Most of the energy blasts hit the ship, knocking it around.

Zonera finally got to her feet. "What the hell happened?"

"I'm not sure," Kombu said. "Sensors are offline but that looks like that Earth planet we landed on a few years ago dead ahead."

"It looks different," Zonera said. "Like it's older."

Another energy blast rocked the ship once again and a light blinked on the control panel. "Our engines are gone." Slanoito said. "We're not going to make it."

Zonera heard the defeat in his voice. With the engines gone, she knew that the other ship would over take them and destroy them. She was a bit surprised that they lasted this long. She thought for a moment and then voiced her thought. "We'll get in the escape pod."

"We all won't fit in there." Kombu said. "When it was just the nine of us sure, but not with the children as well."

"Then we'll just have to send the children." Zonera replied. "We did not come all this way just to have our entire existence wiped out." At that she then turned and headed deeper into the ship.

Only moments later, as the ship continued to violently shake, the Saiyan adults stood around their five children. They each said their goodbyes as one by one each child entered the escape pod. Zonera's son was the last child outside of the pod. His mother took off the gold necklace and put it around her son's neck. After one more goodbye, Zonera's son entered the escape pod and the hatch closed. That would be the last time the children would see their parents.

The children felt the launch of the escape pod and then a few seconds later they were tossed around from the force of a shockwave hitting the pod. The pod entered the atmosphere and lit up like light. Debris from their ship surrounded them and lit up just as brightly, masking the pod's visibility from their pursuers.

Inside the pod, the kids were continuing to be tossed around. Suddenly, it seemed as though something sliced through the pod. Tt began to break apart. Now they were out in the open air and were falling fast towards the ground. Four of the five Saiyan children were able to grip each other. Zonera's son reached for the fifth child's outstretched hand.

Their hands were only inches apart when another explosion took them in separate directions. The four Saiyan children were launched in one direction while, the fifth child was sent in the other.

Meanwhile, Goku's family as well as Vegeta's family sat around in the park that was inside of Capsule Corp. They were celebrating Vegeta and Bulma's youngest child's birthday. The small blue haired child sat around munching on food and opening gifts. Goku laid on his stomach watching the small girl with innocent fascination. He had always been curious about little children and he could remember when Gohan was this young. He missed out on Goten's growth until the age of seven when Goku returned to the living plane during the incident with Majin Buu.

Suddenly, Goku shot to his feet and stared upward at the ceiling to his right. Everyone seemed to notice his reaction.

"What is it, Dad?" Gohan asked.

"I'm sensing some sort of life energy." Goku said. "They are fluctuating and seem to be in trouble." The strongest warrior then looked to his two sons. "Gohan, Goten. Let's go." He put his index and middle fingers together and focused.

"Wait a minute, Kakarot." Vegeta said. "If you're going then I am too." He sounded as though he was expecting a fight.

"So am I." Trunks said.

The five of them disappeared using Goku's Instant Transmission technique.

The five Saiyans reappeared on the beach of an island nine miles southwest of South City. They looked around, looking for any sign of the life energy that Goku referred to.

"Look, up there." Goten said pointing towards the sky.

They all looked up and saw smoke and four falling objects. Goku lifted off the ground. "Let's go."

They all took to the air and flew towards the falling figures. Goku sped up as he realized that the falling objects were people and he grabbed the closest one, which was a female. Gohan grabbed a male as did Goten, and Trunks grabbed the last one, a female.

Goku held the girl under her knees and back as she clutched to him with her arms around his neck. He looked to the others and seem satisfied by the rescue.

"Is that everyone?" he asked.

Goten looked around. "I think so."

Vegeta's gaze was focused on something else other than scanning the area for anyone else.

"What does this mean?" he asked. The others seemed to notice at that moment and shared the surprise.

"We're Saiyans," the oldest male said.

"We should get them back," Gohan said. "That would be a better place to continue with the questions."

Everyone seemed to agree. Goku turned in the air, hinting that he wanted the others to place a hand on him so he could get back to Capsule Corp.

Once everyone was set, they all disappeared just as quickly as they appeared.

Their sudden appearance startled the others. The fact they had children with them caused more confusion.

"What's going on?" Bulma asked.

"We rescued these Saiyan children," Gohan said.

"Did you say Saiyan?"

He nodded and looked to them as they seem to huddle together. They were clearly scared. Gohan was reminded of when he made the transition from the child his mother wanted him to be and the fighter he needed to be. In particular, how frightened he was when Raditz was making short work of his father and Piccolo.

The oldest male stood out in front of the other three with his arms slightly stretched out as if he was going to protect them from anything. Gohan noticed a slight familiarity in that child's facial features but could not figure out why.

Bulma noticed the necklace around the male's neck. She recognized it. She slowly stepped forward and knelt down in front of him.

"I used to have this necklace," she said.

"It was my mother's. She gave it to me," the boy said. "She gave it to me just before she put all of us in the escape pod."

"Why did they put you in the escape pod?" Trunks asked.

"Someone was after us," one of the girls said. "There wasn't enough room…"

"Okara!" the boy said shooting her a look. Okara quickly closed her mouth and lowered her eyes. No one said anything. There was no reason to say anything. The boy returned his eyes to Bulma.

"Your mother was very beautiful," Bulma said. "She also seemed very kind."

"She did mention meeting a blue haired girl once," the boy said. His eyes moved around as if he was trying to remember something. "And that she gave her a gift and repaired the ship for a jewel with stars on it."

"That's me," Bulma said. "I gave her that necklace and helped her and the others fix their ship in exchange for a dragonball."

The boy lowered his arms and stepped forward, wrapping them around Bulma. He wasn't sure why he felt comfortable around her but it seemed right. He felt that he could trust her. Maybe it was because he saw her as one of the few aliens to treat his mother with kindness even though they were strangers. Bulma returned the gesture and also hugged him.

"I'm Scatter," the boy said.

"It'll be okay, we'll take care of you."

"So, you met their parents and helped fix their ship?" Trunks asked.

"Yep," Bulma said as she and the child broke the hug.

"How is that possible?" Gohan said.

Bulma pivoted around, planting a knee to maintain balance to face the others. "I didn't know it then, nor did I even realize til now but I met a group of Saiyans years ago," she said. "In fact, it within the same week I met Goku for the first time." She pivoted back to face the child. "Your mother was pregnant at the time. It was probably with one of your older siblings."

The child shook his head. "No, I was her first born."

"That doesn't make any sense," Bulma said. "I was around sixteen at the time and Goku was even younger than me,"

"It's true," Okara said. "None of us have any siblings."

"Hmm…"

"I remember hearing my father say something about Earth looking different as we were getting into the escape pod," she said.

"Yeah, my mother brought that to his attention," Scatter said. "She said something in the atmosphere made it seem different but with sensors down, they couldn't be sure."

"What about a time rift of some sort?" Gohan asked.

"Is that possible?" Bulma asked turning back to Gohan.

"Really?" Trunks asked. "You met my future counterpart and you're asking if that is possible."

"You're right, it was a dumb moment," Bulma said. "I just really wasn't expecting that to be an explanation." She turned back to Scatter. "So you're Scatter and this one is Okara. What about the other two?"

"The other girl is Leeta and the boy is Ion," Scatter said. "We're the last of the Saiyans."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, Kid but we're also Saiyans." Trunks said. The children looked shocked. Trunks pointed to himself then to Goten, Gohan and his sister. "We're half Saiyan half human and Pan over there is a quarter Saiyan." He then pointed to Goku and Vegeta. "However, my father and Goku are full blooded Saiyans."

The children looked to Goku and Vegeta. Goku smiled and waved as Vegeta did move from his usual arms crossed stance. Although, he was a bit more intrigued now that there were more Saiyans around and didn't show off his typical bored look.

"There may be more Saiyans out there but we don't know," Gohan said. "We keep coming across more Saiyans but most of the time we end up having to fight them. You're in good hands here."

"I do have a question, though," Scatter said. "When do we eat?"
