'Wow, he's even cute as a human.' Nina thought to herself.

"Well, I got some work to do." Kuzco said.

"Such as?" Pacha asked.

"I-I have to say sorry to someone..." Kuzco said. "A lot of people actually... Could you guys get me back in the palace and clear up that I'm not really dead?"

"Sure, Kuzco." Patch smiled.

They all soon got into the palace. Things were going to change for sure in the empire.

"I guess I better get back home." Nina said to her father.

"Yes, you should." Pacha said.

"All right, I'll see you back there." Nina replied.

"Thank you, honey." Pacha smiled to his oldest.

Nina smiled back and then went back to the village.

"That should do it." Drell said.

"So, what's gonna happen to Kuzco's pool?" Patch asked.

"Oh, he's still gonna use it... As a bird bath." Drell told the others.

"That's nice." Mo smiled.

"Yep, things are gonna change around here, though technically can't be emperor until he graduates anyway, but that's a story for another day..." Drell said.

"Graduates?" The others asked.

"Surely you guys have heard about Kuzco Academy..." Drell said like it was obvious, though they didn't seem to even know that there was a school in the village.

"No, we haven't." Atticus said.

Drell groaned and sighed. "Oh, well, at least Kuzco is taken care of for now and he's going to move into the village."

"Yeah." Patch nodded.

"I suppose you're all ready to go home then, hey, where's Darla?" Drell noticed someone was missing.

The others looked to see Darla was not there and then looked around.

Kronk was now a Junior Chipmunk camp counselor with Bucky the Squirrel as his helper and he had several kids in his troop, including Darla who would become an honorary member even if she could already talk to and understand animals.

"There she is." Mo said.

Darla was in a uniform and held up an acorn to complete the Junior Chipmunk pledge with the other kids, including Yzma who was still a kitten and was forced to participate.

"Uh, Darla, it's time to go home." Atticus said.

"Aww..." Darla and the other Junior Chipmunks pouted.

"You can keep the uniform," Kronk told her. "It looks great on you."

"Yeah, it really does." Bucky agreed.

"Aw! Thank you!" Darla beamed.

"And we promise to visit you all from time to time." Patch said.

"Much appreciated, right, Yzma?" Kronk smiled.

"Right..." Yzma growled as she was stuck as a kitten.

The others waved as their new friends went to leave the village as their adventure was over. They soon went back in the Fudo house.

"Still afraid of storms?" Patch asked Darla.

"A little bit..." Darla smiled sheepishly. "I guess you think I'm a baby..."

"No, you'll learn better..." Atticus soothed. "I used to be afraid of storms too!"

"You still are." Cherry replied.

"You'll need to be trained by Goku." Drell said.

"Who?" Atticus asked.

"Come on, let's go into my office." Drell said as he then pushed them upstairs.

"Do I need to hear this too?" Cherry asked.

"Yes, because Atticus is your best friend, you might be happy for him," Drell insisted. "Oh, by the way, Darla? You have a letter from Serena."

"Yay!" Darla smiled.

Drell then took Cherry and Atticus upstairs as Darla opened her letter from Serena, but it wasn't just from her, it was from the other Sailor Scouts and they really missed her and hoped she would come visit again soon after their first adventure together and where they would one day.

Cherry and Atticus sat in Drell's office.

"Now, tell me, do either of you know what a Sayian is?" Drell prompted.

"Uh...No." Atticus and Cherry said.

Drell face-palmed. "What are they teaching you at that school?!" he then took a deep breath and relaxed. "Okay, so anyway... A Sayian is an endangered race of extraterrestrials, they are a rather aggressive warrior race who often tried to be the strongest in the universe, and they come from the Planet Sadla."

"What does that have to do with Goku?" Atticus asked.

"He is one of them." Drell replied.

"Ohh," Atticus smiled. "Is he super strong?"

"Very strong..." Drell replied. "In fact, when I first met him in younger years, he seemed like someone you'd hit it off with..."

"Awesome, I can't wait to meet him." Atticus smiled.

"I can teleport you to where he is." Drell smiled back.

"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered.

Cherry slowly clapped with a straight face to show her appreciation and gratitude for Atticus.

"Now if I remember correctly, he's staying with his family which would be a few miles away from Satan City." Drell said.

"For a second there, it sounded like you said 'Satan City'." Cherry spoke up.

"I did and no, it's not named after the devil, it's named after a man who's lied to the city and everyone else telling them that he was the one that saved them all from Cell and Bu who were both powerful beings." Drell said.

"Oh..." Cherry said with slightly wide eyes.

"Now, don't worry, Bu is back, but he's good, anyway, Atticus, I'll have Goku informed of your arrival." Drell said.

"Alright, but do I have time to pack and tell my parents and Mo?" Atticus asked.

Drell soon snapped his fingers and two luggage suit cases soon appeared.

"Okay, does he have time to tell his parents and Mo?" Cherry then asked in slight deadpan.

"Fine, but make it quick." Drell said before teleporting Patrick, Emily, and Mo into his office along with Patch.

Atticus then went to say goodbye to everyone.

"Well, I guess I'll go home and do nothing while Atticus is gone." Cherry smirked.

"Yep, because Atticus has to do this alone." Drell said.

"Of course he does..." Cherry replied. "I never get a solo mission."

After saying his goodbyes to his parents and pet and girlfriend Atticus went and picked up his luggage to see someone appear next to Drell while he had two fingers on his forehead as did the man that appeared. Patch whimpered slightly, but Patrick and Emily comforted him.

"Welcome back." Drell smiled to Atticus.

"I'm ready." Atticus said before noticing the man next to Drell.

The man had spikey black hair and was wearing an orange/red/golden gi over a dark blue short-sleeved undershirt along with dark blue wristbands, along with dark blue boots with a yellow border that are outfitted with red laces and looked really strong.

"He's ready." Drell told him.

"First, let me see what I'm working with." The black spikey-haired man said.

"Alright, Atticus punch him." Drell said.

"Um, okay." Atticus said before punching the black spikey-haired man who just blocked his punch with one finger and where it worked.

Drell stepped back. "Cherry, you might wanna leave now before you end up in the hospital."

Cherry ducked out of the way.

After about a while ,Atticus soon got exhausted while the black spikey-haired man wasn't tired at all.

"Looks like I've got my work cut out for me to whip this kid into shape." The black spikey-haired man said.

"Who is this guy, Drell?" Atticus asked him while panting.

"Atticus, this is Goku." Drell introduced.

"Nice to finally meet you, Goku." Atticus said, extending his right hand to him still exhausted.

"Nice to meet you too." Goku said, shaking his hand, squeezing it slightly.

"Whoa, that's quite an iron grip you got there." Atticus said as he felt how strong Goku was by his squeeze.

"Maybe you should take some tips from me." Goku smirked teasingly.

"Yeah, maybe." Atticus groaned as he could feel a bit pain.

"I didn't mean to do that, I guess I'm stronger than I thought." Goku said.

"Anyway, good luck." Drell said.

"Atticus, grab your bags and grab my shoulder because I'm about to instant transmit us to my house." Goku said.

"Yes, sir." Atticus said as he grabbed his luggage and then grabbed Goku's shoulder.

"I'll be watching you on the other side." Drell told Goku and Atticus.

Goku soon instant transmitted themselves to where he and his family lived. Drell removed his glasses as he wiped his eye and smiled proudly as Atticus went off to even bigger and better things.

"Where did they go?" Patch asked.

"To Goku's home." Drell said.

Patch whimpered as he was really going to miss Atticus.

"Hey, come on, he's not gone forever..." Drell told the puppy. "I mean, you've done adventures without him, especially with the Air Buddies."

"True." Patch nodded.

Meanwhile with Atticus and Goku...

Goku and Atticus along with his luggage soon arrived at a house that was circular that seemed to be miles from a city.

"Ready to move your stuff in?" Goku asked as the sun was setting.

"Yes, please," Atticus smiled. "Um, you got a space for me?"

"Yes I do, and I'm sure Chichi won't mind another mouth to feed." Goku said.

"Is Chichi your wife or something?" Atticus asked since he had just met Goku.

"Chichi is my wife and you'll soon meet her and my sons, Gohan and Goten." Goku said as he helped him with his luggage before going to the house.

Atticus smiled as he got settled in. He soon met Chichi, Gohan, and Goten, who were all happy to let him stay with them while he trained under Goku's wing while also going to school with Gohan so it would be fair for both parents. Atticus knew he was going to be homesick, but he had to tell himself that it would be all okay and it would be over soon and he would be home again. He took out a picture of the family together and soon hugged it with a small sigh and he even opened a photo album that he had of the times with Cherry and there was even a picture that Cherry kept hidden away from everyone, but it was in the album just for him: It was the picture of when they were adopted by Cinderella's father.

Chichi was a tough woman with long straight black hair, a moderately curvaceous figure and a lighter skin color. Gohan had black hair and black eyes he had his father's facial features, and also had his mother's light peach complexion rather than his father's light tan. He was also quite muscularly developed for his age. Goten had looked just like Goku as a kid along with messy unkempt hair and playful face he also wore a gi to Goku's, minus the kame symbol along with a dark blue long-sleeved undershirt and black training shoes with dark blue shin guard.

"I hope you don't mind him staying..." Goku told his family about Atticus.

"Oh, of course not, besides, this won't be forever." Chichi said, trying not to sound mean.

"It'll be great to train with you and Atticus, Dad." Gohan said.

"We'll see about that, buddy." Goku chuckled.

"He looks pretty cool." Goten smiled.

Atticus soon came out to the family.

"You settled in?" Goku asked him.

"I guess so..." Atticus said softly. "I just can't believe I'm getting this homesick, I've been gone from home before."

"Have you been away from home in a different dimension?" Goten asked.

"No, and I guess that's why I'm feeling homesick." Atticus said.

"It'll be okay," Goku soothed. "Chichi, why don't you make something special for dinner?"

"What would you like?" Chichi smiled to Atticus since he was their guest.

"Steak and broccoli, please." Atticus said.

"You like broccoli? Yuck." Goten said, sticking his tongue out since he was a kid.

Chichi patted Atticus on the head and went to fill out his request.

"Hey, broccoli is awesome!" Atticus glared to Goten.

"I guess teenagers and grown-ups like eating their vegetables." Goten shrugged.

Atticus shrugged back as he hoped he could get used to this for his next adventure, but that was a story for another time.

The End
