A/N: For anyone who answers as a guest without another name I'll answer your questions by number, but if a guest created a creative name then yours won't be counted as a number.
Guest 1: How strong will Fasha be?
My answer: While it's true she's been part of Bardock's team her strength didn't reach his level. From what I can tell Bardock would most likely train mostly with Tora—being they're best friends—my guess is after Bardock, Tora would've been the next strongest in the team. Let's look at it this way before everyone "dies" Bardock was the strongest. Next would be Tora maybe at a level of 2,500. Then, I'm guessing Borgos—the guy is huge and he dies right before Tora—and his level let's say 2,000. Here comes the hard part Shugesh vs. Fasha…I'm going to guess and say Shugesh might have this one. Why? In the movie Fasha states she could never remember the Great Ape transformation, Shugesh doesn't remember much either, but he does say he can remember the Kanassan who gave him the small scratch. So…I'd say Shugesh was about 1,800 and Fasha around 1,500. Anyone can argue with me if you want…I'm guessing I'll hear some complaints.
Also, the demon blood? I have no idea where that came from, but it does make sense considering who the Ox-King is based on a demon character. Okay I'll give them a demon ancestor; it'll make things more interesting.
The number of positive reviews for having Fasha as Chichi won out which means Gohan would be 75% saiyan and Pan would be 37.5% or 3/8 saiyan.
Guest 3: Well to sum it up you'll have to read this chapter to find out how Gine and Fasha interact with each other. I didn't really think Fasha had a crush on Bardock and I didn't really see any signs of her having any which really confuses me how so many says she had one! Anyway in this fic she doesn't and never had a crush on him.
Fasha won't really join them in the journey and to find out why read the chapter!
Your good cop and bad cop takes on Fasha and Gine pretty much sums up what it'll be like…and when Gine is the bad cop, read carefully to tell when Fasha will be good cop or stick to being bad cop too.
Gine and Fasha as best friends I actually like the idea…
Guest 4: Okay obviously many are oppose to the idea of having Bardock return in the saiyan saga, but to make it blunt him being weaker is my intention, that is if I were to return him that early. Not sure yet though.
Guest 5: Fasha's power level of your estimate is too high at least for now. You've got to read the chapter to understand why though!
Chichi is definitely going to have a crush on Goku! This chapter's actually been fun writing it and you'll see why.
Shinen no Hikari: The power levels I gave them may seem low, but I believe that saiyans are able to come in tune with their energy more easily than humans.
(Guest) Saiyan: One of the many reasons Fasha fell for the Ox-King is for his cooking skills.
The Thunder Shock Surprise would actually be a pretty good move for Gohan to learn.
JMPthewriter: Sorry but more reviewers wanted Fasha as Chichi's mother, actually Gohan and Goten wouldn't be pure saiyans they'll still be a quarter human.
Guest 6: I also do believe the purity of heart will have some effects on the saiyans.
Yeah, Bardock and his crew did seem like they were a tiny bit better than the other saiyans, but not exactly angel like Gine shows.
The saiyans blessed by a Warrior Ape like God? Not likely considering how they behaved, but an ancestor might've been more Ape like.
QWERTYblues: Gine's personality is actually interesting, at least how I'm making her and it'll get better trust me. All those moments she'll have with friends, family, enemies, and perverts will amaze you. She may not act like a saiyan, but she'll have her moments.
I know I have grammar errors, but I'm writing this whole thing myself! I'm going to make mistakes now and again.

Chapter 5: Keeping the Secret
Gine blushes a dark scarlet color as she twirls her fingers around and having her legs tucked under her. She curses at Oolong for saying those vile things and making her son ask those types of questions. Of course she was planning on telling him…just not this early. He's still so young and hasn't even met a girl to his liking. Heck, he doesn't even see girls any different from boys!
She avoided her son's shocked expression by having her hair fall over, hiding her face. This conversation hasn't even been planned and yet she's here telling him. This is one of those times she wishes her papa Gohan was alive! He would've told Goku and she would've been there making sure he doesn't go too into detail.
Lifting her face up slowly and from the corner of her eye she saw Goku's face change from shock to horror. She bit her lip as she cleared her throat trying to collect her thoughts on this matter. It was embarrassing for her to speak to her own son about these matters when it should be a male figure! Still there was no turning back and it's not like she's telling him everything…just the basics.
"Well…there you have it son." She gulped as she finished.
Goku shuddered as he stutters "So…girls…d…do…don't," he swallowed "Girls don't have…balls?"
If possible she blushes a darker color as she nods. Why!? Why did she have to tell him? Why couldn't it wait another year!?
"Why?"
Gine covers her face with her hands as she says "Mommies and daddies are just born like that." Let his questions end!
"But I'm not a daddy though."
"One day you will though." Gine said.
Goku huffed crossing his arms and kicking his feet to Oolong's front seat "That's stupid."
She sighs in relief knowing he's done with his questions. Though, she knows one day she'll have to tell him the rest, but hopefully it won't be until years from now.
"I can't believe you took this long to tell him." Oolong grunted.
Gine blushed again though not as dark "Shut up!"
"You should've told him earlier." Bulma said from her seat on the passenger's side.
Groaning she hid her face again muttering "I wish I never had to." This was all Oolong's fault and Bulma for demanding that she explain to Goku the difference!
Everything was normal the night before; they were all inside Oolong's vehicle enjoying a meal before bed. Bulma took a bath, then she did and right after they both discovered they didn't have any clean clothes! Oolong said he would clean the clothes, but Gine didn't want that little pig going anywhere near her clothing. So while Bulma went to sleep, she uses the washing machine—Oolong kindly taught her—to clean her clothes. Right after, Oolong gave her and Goku a glass of cold juice before bed. It smelled funny, but he claimed nothing was wrong with it even taking a drink himself.
It was right after that she heard a noise and decided to investigate, seeing her son tiredly yawn, she went off alone. Gine herself felt sleepy and decided to take a moment's rest on top of the recreational vehicle or Oolong's RV. She dozed off right as she laid her head down and woke up the next morning.
She flew down tiredly forgetting that she hasn't placed any clothing on and was wearing only a towel the night before. She came right through the door still sleepy and woke up, only, when Bulma screams at Oolong about her lack of clothing!
That's when she finally woke up and notices her lack of attire! Giving a scream she made the situation worst by having everyone stare at her. Oolong the little pig fell off his seat with a dazed expression, Bulma turned a light pink with a slight glint on her eye, and Goku her poor innocent son pointed right at her screaming about what happened to her balls.
Then when she finally was able to change—still damp—and the crazy morning finally ended with Oolong's RV being destroyed and Yamcha the teen boy from before gave them a car, Oolong and Bulma demanded she gave Goku the "Talk" or at least the "pre-talk" which she had done.
They stayed quiet in the car for some odd minutes as they continued off to Fire Mountain. It seems like forever before Gine took a peek at Goku and saw him back to his normal self before that conversation started. He stared off in wonder out the window, watching whatever they pass by, deep in his own thoughts. Its times like this Gine see's his father in him and it made old scars feel like new. She shook her head and looked back out her window.
"How much longer till we get there?" Bulma asked tiredly.
Oolong kept his eyes on the road as he says "Not long enough."
"You're still scared?" Bulma scoffed "It's not real Oolong, just a legend. There's like no way a mountain could always be on fire."
Gine had seen things similar to what Oolong described back as a child and through her early teen years. It could likely be true especially with how the temperature feels warmer than normal.
"Oh wow look at the sunset have you ever seen anything like it?" Goku pointed at the beautiful orange bright colors ahead.
Bulma agreed "Oh wow."
Gine stared carefully at the "sunset" and jumped back as she realized what it actually was.
"That's not a sun set you idiots! That's fire Mountain." Oolong stated loudly.
Everyone but Oolong seemed shocked at the new area and spoke with bewilderment. They got closer to the mountain leaning closer to get a better look at the flames surrounding the place "Well this is Fire Mountain." Oolong said as he put the small car in park.
The four got out of the car staring at the flames "Wow I've never seen anything like it!" Bulma said in awe.
Goku jumped on top of the car and Gine sat on the front as they stared at the flames burst with fury "Well we've seen enough now let's get out of here!" Oolong said hoping they'll listen this time to him.
"We have to get the dragon ball first Oolong!" Bulma told him with a sneer "No silly bonfire's going to scare me away." She crosses her arms around her bunny suit. Gine wonders if anyone will take Bulma serious wearing that costume; she also wonders why Oolong had that outfit in the first place.
Oolong and Bulma continue going back and forth one trying to warn, the other just wanting the dragon ball "Yeah I'm sure it up there," Oolong pointed to the top of the mountain "probably in his castle and it's all yours just: get pass the fearsome giant in the world and pass through the wall of flame there and THEN YOU CAN HAVE IT!"
"I wonder when Oolong will try to make his escape again." Gine whispers to her son as they listened to the two bicker and the story he told of the area and how the fire started.
Goku watched Oolong before saying "Now." They watched Oolong try to make his getaway and waited for him to get a head start before the three called out "Piggy, piggy, piggy!" Gine and Goku laughed at his situation while Bulma did it in anger.
_ (-V-) _
"Ugh it's so hot here!" Bulma complains loudly.
Oolong panicked saying "Dummy shut up! The Ox-King will hear you!"
Gine and Goku walked to the side where bones laid on the ground. Goku poked some of the bones with sticks out of fun. Gine giggled at her son's curiosity as he poked the skull of some dead man, poking the stick through the empty eyes and hitting the skull. While she usually finds these things creepy her papa Gohan taught them to face fear and be successful.
"Hey Sons think you two can fly up there and grab the dragon ball!" Bulma yells at them.
Goku took the skull from the ground placing it in front of his face "I tried that once and look what happened!" Both Sons giggled.
"Goku you're crazy!" Bulma giggled along with them.
"I know," Goku tosses the skull away and yells out "FLYING NIMBUS!"
Oolong cries out "Don't yell! Now he must've heard us for sure!"
Goku hops onto his cloud joining his mother to the sky as they flew towards the flames. Gine and Goku flew high above watching the flames with sweat "Wow it's hot up here," Goku wipes his sweat and says "Here I go!" Gine calls out in warning "Wait no!" too late, her son went low being engulfed by the flames and coming back out with Nimbus.
"MOMMY!" He screams as he tries to cool down.
"Goku!" His mother calls racing towards him.
Gine manages to grab her son's waist and threw them both into the lake cooling him down. They floated back up with Goku looking back at his tail "You alright there tail?"
Gine spat out water before saying "Looks a little burnt, but it'll heal quickly." She sighs in relief that he's alright. She waves her hands on an attempt to cool his tail while he tries to blow it cool.
"HELP!"
"Huh?" Both Sons looked at each other before Gine grabs her son and flies them back to Bulma and Oolong.
Gine from above notices the giant, but her son has yet to "It's too hot to get into the castle guys!"
"S—Stupid!" Bulma yells.
Goku finally notices the giant "Who are you?"
The giant man looks around ten feet tall, had a lot of brown facial hair and is very muscular. He wore a helmet with horns on each side, a long blue feather, and goggles made of gold. The giant wore a red cape and what seems like a violet and gold armor. Gine furrows her brows at how his armor seems very similar to the ones of saiyans. His armor didn't seem to belong to the ones who belonging to the planet trade system; as theirs were far more advanced and protected. Though, the pants and stars on his armor weren't exactly something someone out of this world would wear.
"I knew it!" The giant says angrily swinging his ax around as if it weighs nothing.
Gine gasps as the man swung his ax up at them. She made a quick dash to her right with Goku still in her arms. The ax came back to his owner though! She wonders how it does that, but had no time to wonder as the giant started flying up with his ax ready to swing at them again.
"Eeep!" Gine squeaks dodging the ax as he swung it with a speed matching her own. She dodges each one and notices that he wasn't even getting tired. Fear started consuming her but she shook it back as her son wiggles out of her arms "Goku—yah!" her back hit one of the destroyed walls and the ax centimeters away from her face. He had swung it and was close to tearing her head off!
Goku was quick to act calling Nimbus to distract the guy who almost hurt his mom! He flew around him in circles waiting for his eyes to indicate he was dizzy before giving a high kick to his back, hoping to do some damage, but to no avail!
"This guy's a rock!" Goku pouted going back to his mom and helping her shocked and dazed expression back to normal.
"Are you crazy get out of there kid! You can't hurt the Ox-King!" Oolong shook as he even witnessed that the kids mother close to having her head chopped off.
Gine rubbed the back of her head as her son gasps out "You're the Ox-King?"
"Hmm," He confirms focusing his gaze at the cloud "I know about that cloud!" he pointed to Nimbus "And you couldn't have ridden it if you stole it! So who gave it to you?" The Ox-King demanded.
"I got it from a man who said he was the turtle hermit." Goku explained to him.
"Turtle Hermit?" He knew that man anywhere "His name's master Roshi!" The Ox-king moved closer "He was my old teacher do you know where I could find him?"
Gine nods slowly "We should be able to retrace our steps," This Ox-King seems kind of scary "He lives by some ocean from what I could tell."
Ox-King started hopping from one foot to another in pure joy "Oh boy! I can finally return to my castle!"
Everyone stares in surprise at the giant who acted so child-like.
"Hm? Where did you get this from?" Ox-King pointed to Goku's power pole as soon as he notices it.
Goku placed both his arms behind his head smiling at the mountain King "My grandpa gave it to me before he died."
"You're Son Gohan's grandson!" Goku nodded. "And that's my mom!" He pointed to his mother by his side.
The Ox-King began to laugh in joy "Unbelievable to meet Gohan's family!" he shows his giant teeth "You know your grandpa Gohan and I were very close friends almost like brothers back in the day! We trained under Master Roshi he became the first to be chosen and I was the second!"
Gine gave him an excited smile "You mean my papa Gohan became strong because of Master Roshi?" Maybe that old hermit wasn't that bad of a guy after all…then again he did say something unexpected and embarrassing.
"Uh huh Gohan and I both learned martial arts from that man before forming some of our own styles! Say! What are your names?"
"I'm Gine and this is my son Goku!" The three conversed as if they've known one another for years shocking the others.
After a few minutes Ox-King finally got serious "Alright enough talking about the good old days," Gine and Goku looked a little disappointed "Look Old Master Roshi has a very powerful fan made of a palm-leaf and it's called the bansho fan. It's the only thing that will extinguish the flames," He placed both his hands together in a praying position "Will either of you two go to Master Roshi and borrow the fan for me?"
"Yeah!"
"Sure, but can you give me a dragon ball in return?" Goku took out the four star ball showing it to the man.
The Ox-King took a good look at it before saying "Yes I've seen it in my castle of course you can have it my little friends!"
"Then wish us luck!" Gine said with Goku giving the peace sign; both giving wide grins.
Bulma and Oolong took the time to come out of hiding excited they were going to live and having made peace with a very powerful man.
"We'll be back as soon as we can!" Goku said getting Nimbus ready.
"Wait!" The Ox-King lifted his giant hand "There's something you should know," Everyone turned to the king "Why just yesterday I sent my beautiful wife and darling daughter to find Master Roshi," he shook his head "I'm worried even though I shouldn't but I'm scared something might have happened to them. Do you two think you can bring them back too?" He then animatedly said "How would you Goku like to marry my darling daughter Chichi?"
"Chichi?" Goku cocked his head to the side wondering what marriage was.
Gine's eyes watered with happy tears. She might not want her son to grow up to fast, but for him to find a bride and giving her grandchildren one day would make her happier than a feast on Christmas day!
Oolong and Bulma in the background snickered imagining his daughter being an exact image of him that was until he took a picture of her out.
"This is my daughter Chichi!" The picture he held showed a child of around ten years with long straight raven hair, her eyes are large and the color of onyx with the loveliest fluttering eyelashes. She seems to wear a pink helmet and a type of blue armor from the picture and has a bright smile.
Gine gasps "She's beautiful!" Someone as beautiful as the Ox-King's daughter seems fit for her son! She just can't wait to meet her future daughter!
"I'll do my best to find her." Goku blinks at the picture of the girl. For some reason he flashed back to earlier when his mother told him of the differences of a boy and a girl. He felt his cheeks heat up slightly and shook his head wondering if he was getting sick.
"Ah she's really cute!" Oolong said surprised that a giant like him would have something so adorable. He also thought of who would actually want to marry such a scary man like him.
"Don't worry we'll bring her back!" Goku and Gine waved at the other three before taking off. They wished them luck as they left the premises.
After they left though it was then that the Ox-King notices their backs and saw a brown tail attached to both of them. He didn't know if it was eyes playing tricks on him or not, but they looked just like the ones his wife and daughter have!
_ (-V-) _
Some miles away from Fire Mountain a young girl sat on the green land alone and rubbing her head in pain. She's an adorable little girl wearing pink gloves, pink boots, and a pink helmet with a sharp ax on top and a white button on the center. She also wore blue armor that seems more like a bikini top with bottoms, blue shoulder blades, and a blue choker holding her blue cape.
The young girl wonders where her mother was half an hour ago when a giant dinosaur chased her around for who knows how long and a boy five to seven years older than her came out of nowhere and giving her head a sharp elbow strike. She passed out right after and woke up to the same person who knocked her out.
He seems to blabber on about being in love with her, but she paid half attention to him. She knew when her mother came or even her father he was going to get it! Maybe she could use some of the moves her father taught her and teach him a lesson herself!
The sound of car tires racing away brought her attention back to where the guy along with his cat was before, but he seems to have left.
"Hey!" Her ears picked up the sound from above "Are you Chichi?"
She looked up to see a boy shorter than her by a few inches wearing some blue fighting uniform. The boy had messy hair going every direction, slight tan, dark onyx eyes, and a tail like her! Her eyes lingered on the boy's tail wondering why he had one when she knew of only herself and her mother having one.
"Why yes I am…but I don't think I know who you are?!" Chichi calls up to the boy on top of a yellow cloud.
Goku had Nimbus float closer to the ground before he notices something brown and furry wrapped loosely around her waist "Hey you have a tail too!"
"I noticed yours too!" Chichi never met a boy with a tail before. Was it common for them to have their tails hang loosely? Her mother told her to keep it wrapped around herself in case someone decided to pull it. She wonders if she could trust this boy.
Goku wiggles his tail freely "Why do you have it wrapped? Doesn't it bother you?"
"My mommy told me to keep it around myself in case someone pulls it." Chichi told him "It really hurts and I'd rather not feel pain."
"My mommy tells me the same thing, but only when we're hunting or sparing!" He then grinned at her "I'm not going to pull it and I bet it feels nice to have it move around freely."
Chichi stares at his smiling expression wondering if he was lying, her parents always told her to never trust someone so easily, but she felt that she can trust him without problems. He also looks kind of cute. She slowly let her tail unwrap itself and let it move freely "I missed this." With the constant fire around her home she could almost never let it free.
Goku stares at the girl's relaxed and happy expression feeling like he should return the expression to her. He always did feel better when seeing another happy, but somehow hers felt different. Maybe it's because she has a tail too!
"Oh right," Goku finally shook his head "Your dad the Ox-King asked me and my mom to find you and your mom. He also wants' us to go to go and get the bansho fan at Master Roshi's place!"
"Really?" She was right to trust him. If her daddy trusts him than she should too!
"Come on hop on Nimbus and we'll ride together." He said.
"I can actually ride this cotton candy cloud?" Chichi asks.
"As long as you're pure of heart!" Goku tells her.
"Then it's fine! When you're the daughter of the Ox-King there really is no reason to misbehave!"
Chichi jumped up grabbing a firm hold on the cloud, but it was still too high up! She struggles to get on wishing she could fly like her parents, but her mommy says she's still too young to learn! Finally, she had enough and had her tail latch onto Goku's using it as leverage.
Goku froze up at his tail being pulled and as she let go he shutters "Can you not do that?"
"Oh I'm sorry!"
They both flew on the flying Nimbus to who knows where "Wait what about my mom?"
"Your mom's the short haired, black color eyes, wearing pink girl right?" Goku only saw another woman with a tail.
"Yes!"
"My mom decided to stay with her," Goku shrugged "She said they know each other."
Chichi chewed on her lip wondering why her mother never mentioned other people with tails before, "Huh?" she felt something touching her most private part. Giving a squeal she saw Goku using his feet to pat her down there.
"All of you girls really don't have any balls!"
_ (-V-) _
Gine stood across from the woman she never thought she'd see again. It's been over twelve years since she saw her and everyone—not including earthlings—knew that their kind age slower. Their physical appearances are suppose to stay the same and only age slightly as time goes on. Gine knew she still looks the same as she did when she had Goku and not like the humans her age.
The woman across from her though, while her physical appearance hasn't changed by much there was something about her that looks different. Her hair was still short, her eyes still dark, and her tail was still attached. The most anyone would notice would be her clothing, her once pink and yellow armor had been replaced. She wore a pink sleeveless top, pink tights, yellow leg warmers, and pink boots. Her scouter was replaced by a light pink, almost transparent, crown sitting on the top of her hair.
Though, it wasn't the clothing Gine notices the changes, but how she held herself. The woman always stood with confidence, fury, and arrogance. Her eyes always seems narrowed and her expression always at a sneer, but now…she looks lighter? It was as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders and released her of pain. She seems almost human like now and dare she say it gentler.
"Gine," The woman from across breathed in pure shock. Her voice seems to have lost that coldness tone used anytime their presence were together and her eyes didn't reveal any resentment "You're alive?"
The smaller saiyan woman flinched, shifting uncomfortably as her once comrade that held nothing, but resentment for her spoke without hate laced in her voice for once. It was strange to hear a saiyan speak to her like that and she forced her body to stay still, knowing her instincts told her to run from the more powerful woman from the same race as she. If her papa didn't teach her to face fear then she would've grabbed her son and ran back home. Gine let out a breath having her eyes cast down "It's been some time Fasha."
Fasha watches the other saiyan avoid her gaze and felt a pang of guilt hit her before she banished the feeling. Her head swarmed with thoughts of how the other saiyan came to this planet? How long has she been to Earth? Were there other survivors? Obviously, the boy from before was another survivor. The saiyan child looked so much like his father only gentler, he must've inherited that from his mother then. Her eyes widened as she thought of other saiyan survivors. Her heart races and her palms sweated with tension if there are other saiyans will they ruin her life? The life she rebuilt here on Earth?
Gine didn't like the silence coming from Fasha and took a peak to see her trembling with a slight horror struck face. She flinched again wondering if she read her wrong and that the other woman still distasted her. Was seeing her really bad? She knew Fasha didn't exactly like her and was glad when she decided to quit the job back with her pregnancy with her eldest. Fasha felt that Gine was an embarrassment to women saiyans everywhere with her lack of power and unwillingness to fight, at least that's what Gine overheard years ago.
"Gine," Her name being called causes her to look back at Fasha, but averted her eyes just as quickly "Who are the other survivors?"
Survivors? Gine felt her eyes prickly with tears at the remembrance "It's just us and…Goku." Her voice quivered as she fought back the memories trying to shut them back up.
"Goku?" Fasha wondered how that could possibly be a saiyan name, then, again her own daughter didn't take up a saiyan name. Her daughter however held human blood from her father and Fasha doubted Gine would've had a Halfling with an Earthling. Once a saiyan mates it's for life there's no going back.
"Um…actually his name is Kakarot but he prefers Goku." Gine wonders if Fasha even knew she had gotten pregnant once again.
"Oh." Fasha actually does remember Gine being pregnant again. Her lead comrade mentioned it to another of their team and he congratulated the saiyan louder for the rest of the team to hear. It's kind of strange that the last time she spoke to him he seemed convinced that he wouldn't want to meet the newest saiyan. His reaction shocked the team since he reacted differently towards his eldest, but then again with the space tyrant making the rules and sending off infants to unknown planets it would make anyone want to push away those close to him before getting too attached.
The blue dressed saiyan leaned on the back of her feet bouncing back and forth wondering if she's allowed to ask a question, but didn't want to risk getting the other angry. Finally, she asks "Fasha how exactly are you alive?" Gine assumed she died along with every other saiyan on planet Vegeta.
Fasha flinched wondering if she should tell the other saiyan. She shook her head then knowing which saiyan this was. This is the saiyan she disliked so much in the past for being someone so vulnerable to everything and everyone around her. She didn't understand how her lead in command took interest in the small saiyan, assuming he found her appearance attractive like every other male, but when he announced that he and Gine were mates it became unbelievable! Mates aren't common, but when those types of bonds form they become sacred and no amount of anything can ever tear the pair a part. She knew that once the bond starts it makes both have a weakness—which is each other. When she heard this she wondered if their team would fall now that their lead in command finally had a weakness, but even before they announced it…it was obvious they held feelings for each other, why else would he risk his life and never force her into more training each time she got herself in trouble!?
She stares at the other saiyan wondering when her feelings changed, but she knew the answer herself. She gave a long sigh before saying "Gine let's take a flight." They both rose from the ground flying close to each other at a rather slow pace "Well it started after the mission on Kanassa," The story was going to be a pain, but something tells her to tell Gine, maybe it was because after what happened to her she finally understood her "After, we were assigned to invade planet Meat and B—he was in a healing tank," She noticed how her eyes watered and quickly corrected herself not wanting to hear the other to weep "It was to take place with or without him and that's what happened." She could still remember how those minions laughed at their stupidity.
"Frieza sent out some of his top mongrels to put a stop to us," Fasha could still remember that after using up most of their energy to fight of the people of Meat; they still had to face off those elites, way above their own elites "And they succeeded at least mostly," she looked down at the fields avoiding the other saiyan's gaze "Somehow I was still alive, but the other's…"her head shook "They weren't moving, wounds were still bleeding out; they were dead."
"I forced myself to crawl back to my space pod after I awoken," Fasha looked back up gazing ahead "I set it to Vegeta but it said the planet didn't exist. Database showed the planet to have obliterated," She gave a forced chuckle "I knew better though."
"Can't remember much after I just passed out," Fasha looked at Gine from the corner of her eye "Though I always wondered what my pod detected when it led me to this planet. I guess mystery finally solved."
The taller saiyan flew near a wide open land "This is actually where I landed," They both touched ground "but it wasn't where I woke up," Fasha let a smile take place "I woke up in the largest room I've ever seen on the softest of beds," she could still remember how bright and warm it felt "the walls, the bed, heck even the blankets everything looked so bright, warm, inviting, and open."
"Don't get me wrong I was still in pain but the bed made it bearable," Gine felt herself hide a giggle "I was a mess though, I knew there were different people walking around and the thought of being so defenseless had me angry," Fasha sat on the open field "One of them came to the room bringing me a small bowl of soup and you know what I did?" Gine had an idea "I threw it, screamed at her demanding her not to feed me poison."
"Oh Fasha." Gine couldn't help the giggle this time.
"She ran out…then another came in. He was a man wearing white with graying hair and all I could think is that he better not be a bozo. He touched my ankle, causing me to curse at him and lash out with these claws." Fasha blew at her nails "Turns out he was a doctor, but a lousy one if he causes pain instead of curing it."
"No one really wanted to come near me and it stayed like that until a couple of days later," Gine sat across from her with her head on her hands "That's when this giant human came in speaking loudly and excitedly that I was finally awake. This guy apologizing for not being able to be there for my awake, because he had work to do. Yeah. Sure. Whatever." Fasha rolled her eyes.
"I hissed at him to leave me alone and you know what he does? He laughs at me patting my head as if I was a dog!"
Gine laid on her stomach listening more to the story "The man didn't leave and I decided to give him the silent treatment. If he can't get me to talk then he gets no information from me."
"I ignored him for three straight days and during those three days he gives me his name—,"
"Was his name the Ox-King?" Fasha looked surprise at the woman "We kind of met him and made a deal."
The pink and yellow dressed saiyan nodded her head before continuing with her story "Ox gave me his name. He also told me that he's king of Fire Mountain, man can that guy brag," Gine lifted an eyebrow "He told me how he was one of the strongest humans on Earth and had many treasures that he values."
"Oh wow." Gine scratched the back of her head. The man sounded kind of arrogant like the saiyans were.
"On the third day he notices I never ate anything, but my stomach was clearly making it known I wanted food," Fasha lies on the ground "I'm surprise I even lasted that long without any food."
Gine and Fasha shared a look knowing how lack of food was one of the worst things they could ever endure.
"He called from the hall for someone to bring some food, but everyone was too afraid of me," Is that really something to be proud of? "He just laughed at all their concerns of me being some evil creature and went to the kitchen himself." she hummed at the next part "Brought back a descent size meal for me." With a man that huge it's possible a descent meal is something close to saiyans standards.
She patted her stomach "At first I didn't want to eat it, but he didn't take no for an answer. Grabbed my chin, I bit his finger, he gave a yelp then forced some fried fish into my mouth," Fasha must've been really hurt if she wasn't able to fight back. While the Ox-King is tough Gine knew Fasha was three to four times stronger and could have easily taken him down "Damn was the food amazing, thought it was just the hunger talking, but after eating his food for a while you just can't help, but be keen on."
"I actually threatened to kill him while eating his food," she looked away awkwardly while telling the story "He laughed and said I looked…cute," Gine saw Fasha trying to hide a light pink tint to her cheeks.
"Aw!" Gine couldn't help but squeal. The thought of Fasha stuffing her face with food crossed her mind.
"Shut up!" Fasha yelled at her turning a shade darker "Anyway, after that I demanded that he let me leave, but you know what he said? No can do Pink. Pink? Out all the names he calls me pink? I screamed out that my name's Fasha one of the strongest female saiyans!" True that Fasha was one of the strongest; she came right behind that one female elite, she used to be third until the queen died "He looked at me as if I was crazy; guess no one ever heard of saiyans here."
"He said he'll help me—I didn't ask for help!" Fasha saw Gine giving her a confuse look. There was no way Fasha would ever admit to needing any help "No amount of threats worked on the man. He had the maids, cooks, and the doctor from before come back. He monitored the whole time making sure nothing like before happened again. When any of them came near or try to touch me I'd warn them to leave before I ripped them to pieces."
Fasha whistles "Made four maids quit, two cooks run for the hills, and had the doctor replaced twice. Seems even at my weakest I still made everyone afraid…well everyone but the Ox-King that is." She picked up a random flower from the ground; claytonia virginica "He still refused to let me leave."
"Did you ever get close?"
"Oh yeah, a handful of times actually and each time he knew exactly where to find me. He'd pick me up like some Neanderthal and take me back to my room; kicking and screaming like some madwoman." She sighs "The healing system here pretty much sucks."
Gine could relate to that "What happened after you healed?"
"I left."
"Huh?" That couldn't be it.
"I flew out the window as soon as my strength mostly returned. Went to find my space pod, but I had no idea where it even was. I decided to lay low for a while and just train. At least I tried to." Fasha seems uncomfortable to tell the rest.
"Earth didn't exactly have anything that would help to increase my strength. The gravity was too light, the objects around not heavy enough to even strain, I doubted anyone was strong enough to even call it a spar," She covered her eyes with her arms "Five days I was outside, bored out of my wit until something happened."
Fasha closed her eyes "The smell of burning became evident, smoke's seen from a distance, the animals scattered in fear. I should have ignored it and just picked another spot, but something told me to go," Gine has a pretty good guess what was happening "I went to investigate and as I got closer I noticed that it was coming from Fire Mountain," She pointed to where other hills hid the mountain "My heart began racing, my hands became moist, the fire was really strong."
Gine didn't believe the fire was causing that reaction from the other saiyan "The earthlings ran around; some trying to leave, others gathering water to put it out. I saw all unfamiliar faces not one that I recognize. The fire didn't help my sense of smell, but even without it I could tell the Ox-King wasn't there. He seems to care for his people, unlike our king," Fasha mutters at the end "I heard the villagers cry and some of them scream for their ruler. He protected them from outsiders making sure no harm came to his subjects."
"I—I went through the fire it was almost like an instinct, but it was like I knew where to find him." She knew the feeling well "I kicked one of the doors down and he was in front of a couple of unconscious soldiers. The fire was closing in and these humans are so much fragile than we are," Even Gine whose power level was by far the weakest of the saiyan race would've handled it better than any regular human "I flew in front of them and fired up a full power energy attack."
Full power? Gine didn't think much of the castle survived if she used that attack.
As if guessing her thoughts Fasha continued "The fire died down, but the castle didn't wasn't the same."
That's what she thought.
"It's been a while since I used any kind of attack so I was a little rusty, but it did do the trick," Gine questions why Fasha hasn't tried using her ki again to rid of the flames, but she'll probably get to it later in the story "I lost consciousness after and woke up in the same room as the first time. Earth might not have strong fighters, but they do have some strange elements."
"The Ox-King was in the room this time when I woke up. He was asleep for a few more seconds before waking up. The man might not have been strong, but boy when he hugged it felt like he could break some bones. He told me the castle was being renovated and gave me thanks for saving them from the fire. It seems the area goes up in flames plenty of times, but they were always able to detect it before it gets out of hand."
"I told him that it was just me repaying him," Fasha uncovered her eyes "there was a sound coming from outside and when I looked out the window it seemed like everyone was outside screaming thanks at me. I yelled at them to get lost, but instead of running away like I planned they praised me and laughed as if I was joking."
"They saw me as I savior; at least that's what he said,"
"You saved a village of course you're a savior!" Gine told her happily.
Fasha slaps her hand on her forehead "Not you too," she mutters "He told me that if there is anything I wanted he'd give it to me." She swallowed "I asked him if he'd seen my space pod and he said he did."
"Later that day he took me to where the pod was hidden and when I saw it…I knew I wasn't leaving this planet. The pod was completely destroyed, nothing worked, and I didn't care."
"I stayed with the Ox-King. Woke up early to train—didn't want myself to get weak," Fasha grinned "He woke up too and trained but his moves were so different from what I was familiar with and at times I spared with him, but I had to go easy on the guy." Of course "He never won a match, but he always had fun."
"Then one day while sparing…he pulled my tail," they both flinch "He finally found my weak point and did it hurt like a bitch. I cursed every word that I knew of at him demanding he let go of it. He did, started apologizing and I punched his chest—good thing I knew how hard I needed to punch to not kill him—he fell on the ground and I aimed a kick to his side, but he…uh grabbed my tail again. He used it knowing I'd fall when he pulled it." Fasha turned her head away from Gine "We ended up spending the rest of our day together."
"Doing what?" Gine didn't think they spared all day. Didn't they need to eat?
"Gine use your head," Fasha gave her a look that Gine could only give a blank expression to "We had sex."
Gine's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with both her hands while turning a few shades darker than a red rose "Sex ok got that." She choked.
"Come on sweet Gee you know what sex is. You even have evidence of having some." Fasha told her with a slight smirk.
"Can we get on with the story?!" Gine squeaked out.
"Fine after that day we would sometimes sneak off and—,"
"Have sex I got it!"
Fasha laughed at the other's expression. The saiyan was just so innocent almost like a child "After a year he told me he wanted to get married. He explained that it was a ceremony humans had when two commit to each other. I didn't really get the big deal, but if it made him happy I was willing to put on a show."
"We got married and that was the day the Ox told me he's infatuated with me."
"Love." Gine coughed out.
"Will you let me finish?" Fasha asked crossing her arms "On our wedding night I told him that I cared—," Gine coughed again "Love!" Fasha gave her a glare "for him too."
Gine gave her a happy lopsided grin of innocence.
"Few months later I was feeling sick, waking up to vomiting me meal from the day before; at first I thought it was just some bug, but the vomiting increased from the morning to any random time." The flower she held was thrown back "Doctor came and examined me…few days later she came back to tell us we were expecting a child."
"Her name's Chichi right?"
Fasha nodded "I didn't know what I was getting myself into. My mate's a human, I was pregnant with a half saiyan child and it felt strange. I never thought of having any kids, back on Vegeta it was pretty much having a kid and he'll have a slight chance at life." Scary thought "That baby girl though made me feel something I didn't before."
"I was starting to realize how much of a danger our species were and how hated we were. If any word got out about saiyans being alive it was going to become hell. I told Ox to never speak a word about saiyans that it wasn't safe."
"You think they'll come here?" Gine knew the possibility.
"They might," Fasha shrugged "Months later our girl was finally born and boy did she look like a great big mixture of the two of us. My color eyes, my color hair, the saiyan tail of course. She was born with his smile though! Chichi was born so human like, her power level was like a human infant, her skin wasn't tan like warriors and her eyes were so huge and innocent. My tiny little girl didn't seem like she could survive the life as a saiyan…it made me think of you."
"Me?"
"Yeah," Fasha sighs "I wanted to protect her and train her…she was scared though. She had this cowardly—remember how you were always needing saving? That's how she was, but I saw the potential in her. I pushed her too far once though," A guilty expression showed up "She was five and I wasn't paying attention it was a full moon."
"I saw her looking at the sky and next thing I knew she was transforming to a Great Ape. I didn't look up I knew that if I did I might create something worst."
"Chichi started terrorizing the village, stomping on everything even injuring many of them. Most of the humans are weak and none could've stood a chance with her. I saw her father trying to stop her, but she lashed out her tail causing him to hit one of the tower walls. She was aiming for him and I knew he was stronger than her form, but he wouldn't hurt her…I did though. I threw one of my attacks at her—it was the hunting arrow; the brightness of the attack was enough for me to avoid gazing at the moon."
"She lost consciousness and had a large wound. She was losing blood fast," Fasha's voice trembled "I thought I was going to lose her."
Gine knew how she must be feeling and shifted closer to her "But you didn't."
"No I didn't, but it was enough for me to stop my training."
"What?"
"I couldn't do it. Not anymore, not if it means losing my own daughter," Fasha took a couple of breaths "I saw her wounded and ready to die. I couldn't let that happened. I was training her to fight off danger when I was the danger the whole time."
"The decisions a mother has to make." Gine said "You know Goku doesn't know about saiyans either. I didn't want to tell him, but someday he'll have to find out."
"Yeah just like Chichi but not today." Fasha told her.
_ (-V-) _
Gine and Fasha came back to Fire Mountain the same time Goku and Chichi did. They did a quick introduction before they waited for Master Roshi to show up. When he did and scolded the Ox-King everyone sweat drop at the blubbering giant. Fasha the most embarrassed dragging her husband back up and pulling his ear.
"Momma, where did you go earlier?" Chichi asks her mother.
Fasha still pulling her husband's ear says "Sorry Chichi, but I kind of thought I saw someone coming to the village that I recognized and I did." She pointed at Gine.
Chichi nodded smiling at the other woman with an excited expression. Fasha gave them both a look wondering why the two seems excited to meet each other.
"Mom, Master Roshi wants to ask you something!" Goku called at his mother.
Gine nodded following them a few yards back "Okay, so what is it?"
"Well I can explain." Master Roshi started.
"He wants to go on a walk with you!" Goku got straight to the point.
"What?" Gine thought they already walked far enough.
"A moon light stroll really…hehe." He told her.
Gine still didn't get it "Why?"
"You're son said you'd allow me." The turtle hermit said "He said you'd walk around with me on my island if I put out the fire."
"Uh…I guess." Gine still didn't get why she should walk with the old man on his island. At least he wasn't sounding like a pervert this time.
"Great! Then pinkies swear!" He held out his pinky and Gine did the same thing "Earth, water, sea, air I declare a pinky swear!"
They walked back to the others with Roshi yelling "It's time to cool this mountain down!"
Gine walked back to Fasha who lifted a brow "What did he ask?"
"He said he wanted me to walk on his island at night with him." She shrugged.
Fasha gave her a disbelief look "And you just agree?"
"Yeah it's not like he asked to touch my chest." Fasha felt like she should smack the other saiyan for being so naive.
"Sexy ain't I?" Master Roshi called out to the woman.
Everyone sweat drop at the man while looking at his ribs, and spotted back. He had Goku help him climb a short wall to put out the fire. While he tries to find his balance Gine notices a bandage on his head for the first time "How'd he get a bandage on his head?" She saw Chichi looking guilty at the side. Maybe Fasha was wrong about Chichi being a coward; maybe the little girl actually wants to train and is capable of keeping up.
"Here I go!" Master Roshi concentrated all his energy and before long his skeletal self bulged out to a muscular man.
Everyone looked shocked at the man as he breathed out once more bulging twenty times what he was before. Everyone's jaw fell and trembled at the unexpected development. Fasha and Chichi knew he was strong, not as much as Fasha and now the Ox-King, but didn't expect him to transform into a monster looking man.
Roshi pushed one arm out straining his muscles and concentrating his energy carefully. His hand started lighting bright neon blue that followed his whole body next "Watch this he's going to perform the Kamehameha wave!" The Ox-King told them remembering the move from so many years ago.
He moves his arms around summoning all his energy before he stopped at his final stance. Feet shoulder length apart, bended halfway down; both arms extended outwards "Kame," he moves his arms back to the right "hame," a bright energy started forming around his hand "HA!" he releases the energy straight to the castle, the ki being twice his size easily.
The brightness causes everyone blindness for only a second before it dies down along with the flames "Oh I'm pooped!" Master Roshi sat down breathing heavily.
"Look Master you put out the fire but you kind of…" The Ox-King pointed behind Roshi.
"Spit it out!"
"Well the mountain and my castle." He pointed to the now destroyed area.
"Looks like I got too excited." He stuck his tongue out at them.
Everyone fell down with their legs lifted to the air. Gine and Fasha seen pretty powerful moves, but to see an attack stronger than oneself and capable of destroying an entire mountain along with a castle is something else.
_ (-V-) _
Bulma and Oolong went off to look for the other dragon ball around the rubble, Ox-King, Chichi, and Goku spoke to Master Roshi while Gine and Fasha spoke on the side.
"Fasha, why didn't you put out the flames this time?" Gine knew that she didn't want to use her ki anymore, but wouldn't this count as an emergency?
"I couldn't," Fasha mutters "Each time I tried it came back stronger than before. Whatever move that old man did was pretty powerful."
"Kamehameha." Gine whistles "I wonder if I can learn it?"
Fasha looked at her with surprise. Since when did she ever want to learn anything involving fighting? "Why not try it?" she asks while they walked back to the others
"It'll take fifty years to learn the kamehameha wave." Master Roshi finished telling her son.
"Aw, fifty years!" Goku looked at his hands disappointed.
Fasha looked at the two disappointed saiyans and saw how they seem so alike "You guys could just try it." Ki beams were har enough, but to develop a special technique was very difficult.
Gine and Goku share a look like they usually do and tried to copy the position Master Roshi did earlier "Kamehameha!" their combined energy hit the car in front of them causing the tires to deflate and the windows to crack with the driver's door hanging out.
"Eh!?" Fasha and everyone else showed surprise at the duo.
"Aw it wasn't even as strong as the turtle hermit!" Goku complains looking up at his mother who pouted slightly too.
Fasha looked at Gine then at Goku with curiosity. Something was different about Gine, back in Vegeta she didn't learn or train at all. She never learned any technique other than flying and she bet it was Bardock who taught her. This saiyan had a power within her that she never used or attempted…is it possible that Gine could've been one of the strongest saiyans alive? Her eyes shifted to Goku; could this child be stronger? His father was very strong and if she was right about Gine then this kid can actually grow to be the strongest man of the universe.
"That was excellent we'll they are Gohan's daughter and grandson." She heard her mate say.
She gazes back at them as they spoke "What Gine is Gohan's daughter and Goku is his grandson?"
"Yes but I thought you knew that already."
"No, I didn't but I remember Gohan speaking of a child and young woman with tails," he shook his head "Gohan must be training them himself."
"So tell me how's Gohan doing?" Gine and Goku looked back where Master Roshi stood behind them.
"Grandpa died a long time ago." Goku told him sadly.
"He did!" It seems Roshi didn't know "Oh I see I'm very sorry to hear that." He looked down sadden before perking up "Hey I got a great idea! Why don't the two of you come to my island and I'll train you two personally." He wiggles his eyebrows at Gine "Very personally besides we still have a walk to get to."
"Ohhh…it be a great honor to have the same teacher my grandpa had!"
"We can come after we get all the dragon balls." Gine told him with her tail swaying gently like Goku's was.
"Hooray! Yippee!" They turned their heads to the direction of Bulma's screams.
"Guess she found another dragon ball." Goku said.
"Hey what happened to the car?" Bulma asks angrily that another car is gone.
"Sorry!" Goku and Gine did their signature hand to the back of the head.
"What are we going to do now!?" Bulma groaned.
Fasha bumped her elbow to her husband's "Here you can take one of ours," he tossed a small capsule revealing an old flying car "It's a little old but fast!"
Bulma got to the driver's seat with Oolong on the passenger discussing where the next dragon ball was going to be.
"Gine you remember your promise right?" He whispers to her.
"What promise?" Bulma asks hear the whispering.
"He said he wanted me to walk with him under the moon." She whispered back wondering why she was doing it on the first place.
"What?!" Bulma grabbed her hand and Oolong's "We'll be back!"
Bulma dragged the two behind some stone walls "Gine when a guy says that they mean they want to go on a date and be all hands on with you!"
"Eh!? I never agreed to that!" She hissed angrily at being tricked.
"Gah! We don't have time for this! Oolong transform to look just like Gine now!" Bulma gave him the piggy threat.
He grumbled before looking like a short chubby version of her "That looks nothing like her you idiot!" She hit his head.
Oolong transformed again this time looking like an exact version of Gine. He grumbles at them while they went to hide behind another wall.
Fasha flew over to the girls grabbing Gine's attention while Bulma made sure Oolong did his job.
"I guess you'll be leaving soon."
Gine nodded "I hope to see you again though!" She jumped to Fasha engulfing her into a great big hug rivaling the Ox-King.
"Hey get off of me!" Fasha even stronger than the girl, by ten times, found it a struggle to release her iron grip. Gine had her arms wrapped around Fasha's neck with her feet hovering inches from the ground "Gine let me go before you suffocate me!"
Gine finally let her go with a bright smile "I can't wait to see you again Fasha! You're my best friend!" Fasha felt her cheeks get warmer, but shook it off "Shut up!"
They turned back around to where Bulma had Oolong on the ground with her fist shaking at him angrily "Uh…?"
"That's normal." Gine told her friend.
"If you say so…" They all walked back to the others, though Gine and Fasha looked confused at Master Roshi who had his nose bleeding and a daze look.
"What's up?" Goku asks Chichi as she looked at him.
"Oh nothing I was just wondering if you were ever going to think about me again." She admitted.
"Of course I will!" After all she's the first girl who was able knock him off his feet. He just wondered if his mother was telling the truth about girls not having balls and Chichi was able to push him off the flying Nimbus.
"Oh my you're so funny!" She blushes giggling.
Goku gave her a toothy smile "Do you think you're ever going to think about me again Chichi?" he hopes so. She's the first girl who, wasn't him mom, and had a tail like him! She also seems like she'll be a great sparring partner one day.
"Oh my gosh!" She squeals covering her redden face "Once we're older you'll come back to take me as your bride right?"
"A bride?" Goku still doesn't know exactly what that was.
"Huh?" Fasha blinked at her redden child and confused looking little boy. Since when did they start talking about marriage? She felt someone wrap their arms around her neck again only from the back this time.
"Isn't it great Fasha? We'll be in-laws one day!" Gine squeals loudly.
"Bye, bye now!"
"Bye!"
"See yah!"
Everyone waved before they all departed their own ways for the remainder of their journey.
Wow, a little over eleven thousand words and twenty-six pages written for this chapter and it only took me over a week!
I'm doubting the next chapter will be over ten thousand, but hey some will be longer and others shorter.
The Emperor Pilaf saga is almost drawing to an end and then the Tournament saga begins!
Remember only selective episodes and chapters are being chosen to be written so make sure to ask which you'd like to read on about. Also, in the future some of the Dragon Ball series err sagas will be shortening. Mostly, because I'm more eager to write of the events that happen in Dragon Ball Z. While you read you notice how a like Dragon Ball is from the original, but I have major plans for Dragon Ball Z.
Also, I made Fasha somewhat of OOC, but don't worry she'll get her fighting spirit back!
How'd the chapter go? Did it clear up some questions? Any others?
