Okay guys we are switching gears here! Going into the life of Future Chidori and Trunks!

'Dad?'

'Why dad? Why did you have to die?'

The girl fell to the ground after hearing the news and trembled, "D-daddy" she shivered, "Daddy"

Piccolo dropped to his knees and put a hand on her back. Words were not needed. She could feel his sorrow too.

Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Bulma and even Vegeta were outside the Son home waiting the verdict. Vegeta was the first to sense it and then Chidori sensed it next.

'Kakarrot.' Vegeta thought, 'And here I thought that one day we could have actually fought again. It seems that that day will never come. Chidori' he looked over to the girl who kneeled on the ground, tears forming a puddle below her, 'You left her again. Right when she needed you the most.' His gaze wandered to Bulma who was holding an infant in her hands. His infant. Their child, 'I won't make the same mistakes as you, Kakarrot'

Chidori suddenly let out a scream and tore at the grass below her, her tail bristling in anger and the pain in her heart only grew, "Daaaaaaad!"

Piccolo, knowing his student would have difficulty recovering from this as it was, pulled her to his chest close and let her cry into him. She couldn't be alone at a time like this. He pet her hair and rubbed her back to soothe her but it barely worked. She was finally down to muffled sobs when he pulled her away, "It'll be okay kid. You've went through harder things than this before, remember? You'll be okay. Your mother will be okay too. I promise"

Chidori looked up to Piccolo and suddenly anger washed over her. She pushed away from him and flew off into the sky, leaving her home and her friends behind.

-8888888888888888888888-

A few hours later she returned home, dried tears still evident on her face, her eyes puffy and swollen from the crying. She didn't remember crying so much before. When she reached the house, everyone was gone, having paid their respects to their fallen friend.

Chidori didn't see the lurking Namekian behind the tree, "Hey kid"

Chidori whipped around to face the possible foe only to see Piccolo. She blushed and suddenly felt bad, "Piccolo. M'sorry I pushed you earlier. I-"

Piccolo came out of the shadows and walked up to her, "Don't worry about it. You're upset. You have good reason to be. Your mother is still inside getting Goku's body ready for the funeral. You should stay out here until she's done. Okay?"

Chidori flinched at the mention of the word 'Body' but nodded and went over to sit at the tree Piccolo was standing by earlier. Piccolo went over to join her, sitting beside her. The Namekian knew the girl needed solace but how would he possibly give it? He didn't know anything about emotions or loss. Did he?

He stared at her for a few seconds before finally speaking, "You're a brave kid, Chidori. You're strong. A loyal friend. You're a great person. Your father knew that too. Don't you ever forget it."

Chidori stared back at him and nodded slowly, "I won't, Piccolo."

He stayed by her that night as she decided to stay under the tree. She didn't want to be in the same house as her dead father.

It was only a few days later after the funeral that terror struck.

Two Andriods were wreaking havoc in South City. Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Krillin heard about it first. They were also the first ones to die.

The Andriods had no mercy and were after Goku. They didn't know he had died already by the heart virus.

Vegeta encountered them next as they had found him on his way to the Son household. He couldn't feel the android's power but he felt the Earthling's fall and it was getting closer to closer to where Chidori and her mother were. Chidori felt that something was terribly wrong but remained in the house, frightened to leave her mother alone.

"Sweety" Chi-Chi spoke for the first time in days, "You need to go. You need to go and help. You must"

"But mom! Their close! I can't!"

"Listen to me and just go! I'll be fine!"

Chidori stared at her mother, having never seen that look in her eyes before. She nodded and left the house, looking for the power level of her Saiyan friend. It was low but she found it and set forth for it. Little did she know that Piccolo was on his way to the Son house.

Chidori didn't pay any attention to anything else. She just set a straight course for Vegeta's energy, not feeling any other. Finally she reached him. Chidori looked on in horror.

His body was beaten and broken, bloody and dirty. She pounced closer, "Uncle Vegeta! No!" she ran towards him and leaned down by him. She didn't have any senzu beans so her fear was rightly so. She tried lifting him but he groaned out in pain, "S-stop!" he grasped his belly and that's when she saw it. The bleeding hole that had been so viciously made in his stomach.

Chidori lowered him back down, "Vegeta" she whimpered, "No. I can't lose you too."

Vegeta looked up at her, exhaustion evident, "Ch-chidori." She spoke, blood oozing from his mouth, "Please. Listen t-to me"

"Yes?" tears flowed down her face but he allowed it. Tears were running down his own, "The enemy. The en-enemy is strong. Y-you can't beat them. Th-that's fact. O-one day you will th-though. Please. You must live. Pr-promise me one th-thing Chi?"

Chidori had never heard Vegeta like this. Usually he was one to boast and goad her on but he didn't.

"Y-yes?"

"Please. Pr-protect my family. Please. Pl-please."

Chidori's eyes stung and her throat constricted in the pain she felt for her fading friend, "I promise, Vegeta. I swear to you. I'll protect them with my life"

Vegeta, for once, let a smile crawl on his face, "T-thank you. Thank you . . . . Ch-chidori"

With one final breathe he was gone.

Chidori gently set his body down but there was no time to linger. She felt another power level suddenly dropping! And it was near her house! She blasted off towards the shrinking aura to finally get to her home.

Two people stood with their back to her, a man and a woman. The man had black short hair while the woman had blonde short hair. Their gazes turned to see her with a cruel smile on their faces. The man chuckled lowly and stepped away, to reveal two bodies on the ground.

The woman spoke with an angelic voice, "Do you think we should kill her too?"

The man smirked, "Hmmm. Nah I don't think so. We killed all of the formidable opponents already. Just wish Goku was here to join the fun though, ya know, Eighteen? Too bad he's dead already"

"Yeah I hear ya. Hey kid!"

Chidori's gaze was knocked away hard from the bodies on the ground. She slowly looked up to the woman who spoke again, "Today's your lucky day, brat. We won't kill you today. Maybe someday but not today."

The man spoke again, "We might need a toy to keep our minds off killing pathetic humans like your mother here"

Chidori's eye twitched and her tail began to bristle and shake.

"Oh look Seventeen. You made the little girl angry."

Seventeen chuckled, "Oops don't want that" They laughed.

Chidori felt an anger she never felt before. Just like when she faced Nappa and Frieza. The anger was horrid. The anger was frightening, even to her. Her tail and her hair flashed gold and she shook.

She couldn't think straight but the one and only thing she thought was, 'Stronger! I need it! I need to be! Stronger!' she clenched her fists as the golden aura was rising within her, lightning flashing and crackling in the sky.

Seventeen narrowed his eyes, "What's going on with her?"

Eighteen shrugged, "How am I supposed to know? You're the one that made her mad!"

Chidori stared at the bodies, chanting for power in her head, over and over, remembering Vegeta's mangled body and his last words. She remembered what her mother told her but she didn't care.

Everything was just a blur now as she screamed towards the sky, the lightning overcoming her, the rage enveloping her body and soul and the fury in her now broken teal eyes. It was all too magnificent.

She surged forwards in attack.

But her fury was all in vain.

The defeated her. They laughed at the 'light show' and left her for dead. Right by her mother's dead body. She opened her eyes barely and crawled. She could just barely feel some energy coming off the other body. She struggled but finally made it with all of her might. She grasped on to Piccolo's hand.

"P-Piccolo" she pleaded, "Pl-please tell me you're o-okay"

He didn't say anything and she tried shaking his hand in hers, "Piccolo" she cried helplessly.

The Namekian slowly and painfully turned his head to face her, "K-kid" he rasped out.

"Piccolo!" she crawled closer to him, "D-don't worry! We'll be okay." She cried again, feeling so helpless.

"Don't leave me. I can't lose y-you too!" she used her last remaining strength to pick herself up onto her knees and put her hands on his chest, intending to give him energy, "I'll help y-you"

Piccolo snapped his good hand onto her hands, "D-don't. It'll just b-be a waste of-of energy"

Chidori's eyes blurred as the tears obscured her vision, "Please don't leave me Piccolo"

The Namekian chuckled roughly, "S-seems familiar d-doesn't it?" he reminisced on the last time he died, "I tried to save her. Y-your mother. B-but they were too strong. I'm sorry"

Chidori shook her head furiously, ignoring the pain, "Don't talk like that! I don't b-blame you! Piccolo, you're my best friend. I d-don't want to lose you!"

"Hey" he forced his hand crawl up her arms up to her cheek, "You'll be okay. I'll a-always be th-there for you, kid. Don't worry a-about that." He rubbed her tears away with his large hand and smiled at her, "Ju-just stay alive . . . be-because . . ."

Chidori grasped his hand that was on her face, "Piccolo?"

"Y-you were always like a d-daughter to me. I k-know it w-was the same for Vegeta and especially f-for Goku but it's t-true."

The lump in her throat grew and it was so painful she couldn't speak or interrupt him.

"I love ya kid. D-don't die"

He drew his last breathe with a few tears escaping his eyes. Chidori clutched his cooling had to her face and clenched her eyes closed tightly, "No. Oh god no!" she felt an overwhelming pain inside of her that only grew. It grew and grew until she finally had to let it out.

So she screamed. She screamed in the rage and fury she had used earlier. She screamed in her sorrows and fears of losing her friends and family. She screamed, knowing she wasn't good enough to kill the ones responsible for her growing pain.

She stopped after hours of screaming, her voice raspy and rough. She finally let out all of the emotions and she just laid her head down on Piccolo's cold body, briefly looking over at her mother's corpse as well. A new fire burned within her and her tail curled.

Chidori stood in all the strength she could muster up, 'I'm not good enough as Vegeta said. But one day. One day they'll see. The Andriods may not have a threat on this planet as of yet.'

She clenched her fists, ignoring all pain, 'But they will'

-888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888-

Fourteen years later

"Come on!" she shouted, "You can do better than that!" she blocked her opponent's attacks, "You're not even trying!"

She kicked her opponent in the gut and stepped onto his stomach to keep him there, "You were better at this yesterday, Trunks! What's gotten into you?"

The Fourteen year old boy groaned, "I don't know master Chidori. I guess I'm just not feeling today"

Chidori growled and picked him up by his shirt and threw him into a destroyed wall, "Don't give me that shit! You think the Andriods are going to care if you're 'not feeling it'!? Gah! You're wasting my time Trunks! Either fight or quit! I don't care which"

With that, she stomped away to go back into the house only to run into Bulma, "Hey guys, lunch is ready. Hey Chidori. Do you want a bite too? I know it's been a while since you've eaten."

Chidori's stomach growled on que and she laughed, completely doing a swing on her mood, "Oh yeah! That sounds great! Hey Trunks! Why don't we stop training today and have a little break, huh?"

Trunks' face twitched but he still smiled, "Sure!" she ran up to her, "Wow, Chidori, you sure are moody when you're hungry!"

Chidori whopped him upside the head, "And don't you forget it, brat!"

Bulma laughed at them as they walked into the broken home. They came up to the table and sat at their respected spots. After the Z warrior's deaths, Chidori wanted to respect Vegeta's last words and protect his family. She found Bulma Fourteen years ago as she was fleeing the city. She said she left because she felt something horrible had happened.

Chidori blandly had told her what happened but the single mother merely but on a brave face and let Chidori lead the way to safety. Bulma could pretend all she wanted but Chidori saw right through her. Bulma was crying on the inside. They had finally found a small town far away from any large cities. Only two other families lived out here and they lived safely.

Now it was only them. The other two families had left in fear when Chidori let her rage seep through. They had tried to steal food but Chidori wouldn't let them. Now they were all alone.

"Hey Trunks" Bulma pulled her out of her thoughts as her friend said her son's name, "Why do you look so down? Eat your food. You know we can't afford to waste any of it"

Trunks pouted, "I know. It's just . . . well."

Chidori munched on her stale toast, "Spit it out kid"

"What was my dad like?!' he blurted, taking his master's words to heart.

Chidori swallowed her toast and looked to Bulma, "You haven't told him?"

Bulma sighed, "Trunks. Your father was a good man"

"That's all you ever say about him though! Who was he? Was he a fighter like me? What was he like? Am I like him?"

Chidori couldn't stifle a laugh and Trunks stared at her, "Sorry Trunks" she giggled, "You're nothing like him"

Trunks looked a bit put out and sad and Chidori sighed, "Only that . . . You have his eyes. Full of determination and stubbornness. Yep that was him!"

Bulma nodded, "Well put, Chi!"

Trunks raised a brow, "I still don't understand though."

Bulma tried to simplify it, "Your father . . well . . .he was a different kind of man. He was a loner. A fighter. He was also egotistical."

Chidori chuckled, "A real Prince"

Bulma couldn't help herself but to laugh softly as well, remembering her husband fondly, "But he could be so gentle and nice when he wanted to be"

Trunks stared down at his plate, "If he was here. . . Would he have beaten the androids?"

Chidori bit her lip, remembering the terrible things that had happened so long ago, "If he had lived and not fought like the true warrior he was then he wouldn't be Vegeta. He wouldn't be your father."

With that, Chidori walked away but before she could get out of the room, the radio suddenly turned on with a blasting news report that the Andriods were close to a nearby city.

Trunks stood up, "Hey! They're close! Do you think they'll find us!? We have to fight! We have to beat those stupid Andriods! Come on Chidori!"

Before Trunks could run out, Chidori grabbed his arm and glared, "No. It's too dangerous. Bulma? Get your lab packed up in a capsule. We're leaving. Trunks. Grab all the food you can and fit I tall into a capsule as well. Got it?"

Trunks looked like he still wanted to make a break for it so she clenched her fist around his wrist, making him cry out, "Got it?!"

Trunks stared up at his master, seeing pure rage and fury in her eyes. Finally he nodded and left back into the kitchen to pack up the food.

-88888888888888888888888-

They were in the deep parts of the country now, not a soul around them for hundreds of miles. Chidori and Trunks had built a small house in under a week and Bulma had made a new lab in the basement they had made. Chidori taught Trunks how to hunt and cook for himself and Bulma had been working on something really important.

She wouldn't say but Chidori had a feeling it was going to be one of her greatest inventions.

It was weeks later when Trunks couldn't be found anywhere.

Chidori and Bulma looked everywhere but he couldn't be found anywhere he usually was. Chidori finally locked on to his power level and her heart lurched, taking off without telling Bulma anything.

She finally found him on the ground, rain crashing down and soaking his clothes.

"Trunks! No!" she blasted off down to the ground where he laid.

Chidori used her Ki to keep herself dry as she picked him up and forced him to swallow a senzu bean. The last one they had.

When Trunks woke up, Chidori's eyes were filled with rage and fear but also with something Trunks hadn't seen on her in a long time. Happiness. True happiness.

She cried and held him close for a while before her emotions decided to do a 360. She grabbed his shoulders and screamed at him, "What the fuck were you thinking?! You could have died Trunks! Don't you ever listen?! You're lucky they decided not to kill you! What were you thinking?! Huh?! Tell me! TELL ME!"

Trunks shuddered and looked helpless. Chidori almost wanted to throw up. It was the same look she held the day every one of her family and friends died.

"I. . . I just wanted to see them. I'd never seen them before and-"

"And?! And what?! You thought just they'd roll over and die?! Well I got news for you, boy! Life doesn't work like that! You can't just think you're gonna do good and win, Trunks! You have to train if you want to make a difference! Don't you ever go off and do that again!"

She fell into tears and hugged Trunks tightly, "Don't you ever leave me, you hear? I've lost too many. I can't lose you too, Trunks"

Trunks didn't know what to say or do. He had never seen Chidori like this before. Angry yes. But sad and hysterical? This was new. Cautiously, he wrapped his arms around his sensei and hugged back.

"I won't do it again. I promise"

Chidori cried a little more until she finally quit and pulled away, "I'm sorry Trunks. It's just that . . . Your father made me promise to protect his family. Those were his last words. Vegeta. Your father. He was like a second father to me. I called him my Uncle even though we weren't related by blood. Your father wasn't the type of person to care about others, Trunks. In fact, before he met your mother and I, he never gave a damn what happened to Earth or any other planet. It was only ever him. For him to make me promise to protect you and your mother meant so much more than you'll ever realize. That's why I'll never let anything else bad ever happen to you Trunks. You understand?"

Trunks nodded, "Yeah. I understand, master"

Chidori smiled at him. A true smile, "Good. Now let's go back to the house, huh? Your mother's worried about you"

With that, they took off back home.

It was three years later when Bulma said she had a surprise for us.

A time machine.

Chidori had never been so happy in her life. A time machine!

"A time machine!" she cried out, "You mean if we go back in time enough and warn them about the Andriods, they could live and this timeline will be changed?! They'd be alive?!"

Bulma shook her head, "It doesn't work like that, Chidori. My time machine is based off of a multiverse theory. This time line will remain the same but a different timeline, the one you two go back to, will change. Get it?"

"Oh" she seemed a bit disappointed at first, "But I'll still get to see everyone again!"

"Yes" she rolled her eyes with a smile, "But you have to make sure that neither I nor Vegeta finds out who Trunks is. You can't mention his name and you two can't go super saiyan! Got it? Then they'll know right away."

Chidori and Trunks nodded, "Got it"

Bulma waited then for them to return. It had been a few hours and she was getting worried but suddenly a flash of light appeared in the sky and the time machine dropped back down to the Earth with Trunks and Chidori inside.

"Hey! Did everything work out as planned? Did you get to meet everyone?!"

Chidori nodded with a grin, "Yeah! It was great! We arrived when Frieza got there with his dad but for some reason we must have changed something because dad didn't appear right away. So we had to go super saiyan and ick their asses. Anyways we met dad and everyone and I gave dad the medicine"

"You did what?!" Bulma screeched.

Chidori was at a loss as was Trunks, "We gave dad the medicine?"

"No!" Bulma shook all around, "What do you mean you two went Super Saiyan?! I told you both not to!"

"Yeah well" Chidori rubbed the back of her head and curled her tail, "You guys must have been really stupid back then because neither of you connected the dots. Except everyone knew that I was Chidori! I saw little me too!"

Bulma only fainted. When she awoke, Trunks and Chidori were standing over her, "So when can we go back to help them against the Andriods? They're going to need all the help they can get after all!"

Bulma had never seen Chidori so happy so she could only tell her, "A few months, okay kid? Gosh, you two are gonna give me a heart attack one of these days"

Chidori and Trunks both grinned at her.

Later in the evening, Chidori was on her own in her room just thinking.

'Dad. I hope you listen to me. You really are gonna need the help, ya know'

-88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888-

Back in little Chidori's timeline.

She sat on her bed, waiting to be told to come downstairs. When she and her father got home, he told her to go up to her room so he could discuss a few things with her mother.

'I hope they won't come to an agreement that I can't fight. I need to fight! I need to help! They can't just tell me not to! Well if they don't let me then I'll just have to train on my own!'

She huffed and laid down on the bed, "Maybe Piccolo would train me"

"What? You don't think your dad would let you?" a new voiced sounded and Chidori jerked up to see Piccolo himself floating by her window. She scrambled up and ran towards the window with a smile.

"Piccolo! I thought I wouldn't see you for a while! And yeah I think dad's not going to let me train! He never wanted me fighting on Namek, why would he let me fight even stronger foes? Aren't you gonna train Piccolo?"

"Of course I am and don't just jump on conclusions. You're father's a smart man. There's no doubt he'll train you himself."

"Really Piccolo?!"

The Namekian ruffled her hair, "Yes. But look. I'll meet you downstairs. Your parents are coming up to talk to you"

"Wait what?"

But he jumped down in the yard and not a second later, her mother and father were at the door, "Honey we need to talk to you for a second"

Her mother opened the door with a worried expression on her face while her father looked only contemplative.

"Sweety" Chi-Chi said, "Your father told me about the Andriods that will appear in three years."

Chidori nodded and her mother continued, "I told him you should fight with the Z warriors."

Chidori gaped suddenly and her tail wagged around in furious happiness, "REALLY?!"

That's when Goku finally understood, 'Future Chi was right. It really is in her nature. I guess I have no choice.'

Goku nodded, "But it won't be easy Chidori. Piccolo's gonna train you first and then I will, myself. That sound good?"

Chidori ran over to her father and hugged him tightly, "Yes! That's awesome! I can't wait! When do we start?!"

Goku laughed, "Well hold on there for a second. Are you sure you want to fight, Chidori? No one's making you"

Chidori growled and looked up at her father in the most serious expression she could muster up, "I want to fight. I'll do all I can to protect my friends and family!"

Goku and Chidori stared down for a while before Goku finally smiled, "Good. We start now. But first we got to find Piccolo"

"Oh he's in the yard waiting! He was just at my window talking with me before you guys came up!"

Chi-Chi nearly fainted, "What?! Why was that monster up here?! Did he do anything to you? Did he hurt you?!"

Chidori snarled, "Of course not! Piccolo's my best friend! He would never do anything to hurt me! In fact, mom, when Vegeta and Nappa first arrived, he died for me! So before you go on saying bad things about him, just think about that!"

Chi-Chi was silent and pale but just walked out, too upset to think straight.

Goku led his daughter outside and just as she said, Piccolo was there waiting for them. Piccolo walked up and laid a hand on her head, "Thanks for that, kid"

Chidori smiled up at him, "No problem! You ARE my best friend, Piccolo"

She looked from him back to her father, "So when do we start?"

Piccolo smirked, "Now"

-8888888888888888888888888-

"Taaaaaahhhh!" she attacked her friend fiercely in the air, not letting up. Piccolo barely had enough time to block as Chidori landed a kick on his arms.

She launched attack after attack with Goku supervising on the ground. It had been a year since they started and still, her father had not taught her anything himself. They were going too easy on her.

Finally Chidori had had enough and punched Piccolo in the gut, making him cough up spit and groan, "ugh!" he let out a noise as he clutched his stomach. Chidori snapped out of her anger and fussed, "Crap! Piccolo! I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Piccolo stood up, still clutching his stomach, "That was a powerful punch, kid. Heh. You, know, I think you're ready. What do you think, Goku?"

Her father flew up and stared at his daughter. Chidori could see a bit of worry in his gaze, "I don't know, Piccolo. Maybe a few more days and we'll see."

Chidori let out a growl, "W-what!? Are you kidding me, dad?! You've been saying that for over a month already! I'm ready to take you both on! I am! Just give me a chance!"

Goku just couldn't do it, "I'm sorry but not today. Piccolo, you up for another round?"

Piccolo glared at him but sighed, "Sure. I suppose"

Chidori glared and crossed her arms, "No. Dad, you've been going too easy on me and I'm just about as strong as Piccolo is. Just give me a chance and fight me!"

"No means no, Chidori" her father was persistent.

She pulled her trump card, "Fine then. If you won't, I'm sure Vegeta would be more than happy to"

Goku's eyes hardened, "You don't need Vegeta to train you. You have me and Piccolo"

"No, actually I only have Piccolo because you're too chicken to take me on yourself!"

Piccolo's eyes widened at the family drama, "Kid, you should listen to your father"

Chidori ignored him and snarled, "I'm going to Vegeta" with that, she took off to Capsule Corp, leaving a shocked Piccolo and an angry Goku behind.

'Dammit, Chidori, you don't know how hard this is for me! It's not easy for a father to hurt his daughter. If I train you, then that is sure to happen! I just wouldn't be able to take it! For me to be able to take it you'd have to be able to go super saiyan or something!'

That's when an idea hatched in his head.

Piccolo sensed Goku's dilemma, "Goku. You do realize she's not a little kid anymore right? She hasn't been a little girl for years ever since Raditz came to Earth. Do you think I was gentle with her when I trained her?"

Goku stared at nothing, "Yeah but you're not her father. You wouldn't understand. Besides. There's a plan."

Piccolo wrinkled his nose, "A plan?! Goku it might have escaped your notice but I care about her just as much as you do. Besides, she's done a lot of things without you there to protect her, you know. I trained her without you. She went to Namek without you and faced Vegeta, the Ginyu force and Frieza in his second form without you. The future Chidori has even been surviving in a dying world as Earth's protector WITHOUT you. Now you tell me. Can she not handle herself?"

Goku didn't have an answer for him without giving away what he was planning.

Meanwhile, Chidori landed at Capsule Corp, surprised her father never tried to stop her. She saw Vegeta's ship with the gravity machine in it and walked over to knock on the door. She could hear Vegeta yelling from the inside, "What the hell do you want now, woman?!"

Chidori giggled, "Actually it's me. Chidori! Let me in!"

There was a few seconds pause before she felt the gravity machine shut down and Vegeta opened the door, shirtless and sweaty, "What do you want, brat?"

Chidori pouted, "Dad's still not training me himself. He's been making me only train with Piccolo for the last year but I've already reached Piccolo's level. Dad still won't train me himself, though. He doesn't think I'm strong enough. So I came here to you! You'll train me! Right?"

Vegeta stared down at her. He was almost there. He knew it. He was almost at the level of a super saiyan. He couldn't let the brat get in his way of that! Not when he was so close!

Vegeta glared as he drank some water from his water bottle and finally sighed, "You know what? I think we should have a little talk with your father. As much as I hate to say it, it should be your father that trains you. He would know your attacks and moves better than I do right now."

Chidori pouted with an angry look on her face, "But I've tried talking to him! I've even tried yelling at him! I told him I was coming to you if he didn't want to train me himself and he just let me come! Talking isn't going to help, Vegeta!"

Vegeta smirked, "Let's go and find out then, shall we?"

He pulled on a shirt Bulma had given him, grabbed Chidori by the back of her shirt, and took off in the direction of Goku and Piccolo. Chidori was surprised at how fast Vegeta could go now and in only a few minutes, they reached their destination, stopping right in front of Goku and Piccolo.

Piccolo seemed a bit worried, "Chidori! Vegeta, let her go!"

Vegeta smirked and threw Chidori upwards, allowing her to float in midair by him. Goku glared, "What do you want, Vegeta?"

The Saiyan Prince frowned, "You shouldn't hand off your kid to other people Kakarrot. It gives them the wrong idea."

Goku said nothing but the look he gave Vegeta was enough. Vegeta continued, "She wanted me to train her. I believe it's the father's duty to train their spawn. That's what I was taught by MY father at least. Now do your job and train your brat so I can have some peace and quiet!"

Goku's frown deepened, "She's not ready"

"The hell I'm not ready!" Chidori protested and Piccolo scowled at her language, making Chidori look away.

Goku's eye twitched, hating to be so harsh with her, "I'll say you're ready when you're ready! But you're just not there yet! Trust me for once!"

"I've trusted you all my life but you never trust me back!"

That one hit a heart string and Goku gaped at her, remembering what Future Chi had said to him.

Vegeta snarled, "Well?! Train your brat, Kakarrot!"

Goku was still thinking. How could he possibly get Chidori to the point of going Super Saiyan? She was just a kid. But then he remembered all of those times Chidori's tail had flashed gold and now he finally knew what that meant. But to make her level up he had to do something. Something to make her angry. Angrier than she already was, that is.

"Just shut up, Vegeta!" he pulled through his little act, keeping down a smirk as Vegeta's anger rose.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?!" Vegeta shouted at him and Goku snarled.

"You heard me! Now get the hell out of here and take her with you if you must!"

Vegeta was getting pissed and Chidori was just growing even more distrust worthy of her father.

"How can you just talk like that!? She's right here and you're telling me to just take her?! What kind of a father are you!?"

Now for the last nerve, "Like you'd be any better, you egotistical scumbag!"

"That's it!" Vegeta lunged at Goku with all he had and suddenly there was an all-out match against the two. Chidori, meanwhile was rising in her anger.

Piccolo watched the scene, not for sure if he should butt in or not. Instead, he watched Chidori to make sure she was alright. What he saw astounded him.

'Her tail! It's glowing yellow!' he looked back to Goku and Vegeta to notice that Goku was glancing at Chidori momentarily and smirking as he was fighting Vegeta. It looked like he was giving it his all but really, he knew better.

'Goku.' Piccolo thought, 'You're doing this on purpose! You sly bastard! So this was your plan'

Chidori's head was not a good place to be. She was in turmoil, anger over flowing her emotions and lightning crashing around in the sky, not to anyone's notice.

'Why are they fighting?! I know neither of them want to train me! Why?! Why does everyone think I'm weak?! They say otherwise but I can see right through them! They don't believe me! They don't trust me! Why?! Dad why?! Why don't you believe in me!? I am strong! I need to be strong! I need to be! I have to be strong! Strong enough!'

Her eyes suddenly turned teal and her hair stood up and flashed yellow, a golden aura radiating off of her. Her tail bristled in anticipation and rage pushed off of her like waves, "I AM strong enough!"

She blasted forwards in between her father and Vegeta and kicked her father in the gut. To say Goku was shocked was an understatement.

'Why is she attacking ME?!'

Chidori glared threateningly at her father and came at him again, this time with a Ki blast, "Masenko! HA!"

"Oh crap!" Goku saw the humongous ki blast coming for him and he transformed as well, ready for it, "Haaaaa!" he caught the blast but it was burning his hands, "Rrrg!" he finally was able to kick it up to the sky. He wasn't ready, however, for Chidori to appear in front of him punch him in the face.

She screamed as she put all of her strength into that one blow, "Rrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!" she landed the hit, sending her father crashing into the mountains in the distance.

Piccolo and Vegeta stood looking at the scene, gaping at the sheer power the father and daughter used.

'Amazing! So Chidori did it after all! But dammit! Why couldn't I have become a super saiyan first!? Now Kakarrot AND his brat are stronger than me!'

Goku teleported back in front of Chidori with a smile, "Whoa Chidori! That was awesome! You've become a super saiyan! I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it!"

Chidori wasn't prepared for the comment and suddenly her hair flashed down to black, "W-what?"

Goku grinned at her, "You did great today, Chi. I'm proud of you"

Chidori's eyes widened, not sure what to say. Her father had just given her praise on her fighting.

"I- I don't understand. You said I wasn't . . . wasn't strong enough"

"Chidori" Goku tried to console her, "I knew you could do it. It's been inside you all along. If your future self could do it, why not you? It was just the means on how to get you there that was tricky. I'm sorry I caused you so much pain, sweety"

Chidori backed away as Vegeta and Piccolo came closer to the calming area. Vegeta snarled at Goku, "You mean you planned this all along?!"

"Well I didn't plan you to get involved, Vegeta, but I guess it worked out anyway, right? Haha!"

"You idiot" was Vegeta's only response.

Chidori glared at her father, "Stop laughing dad! You think toying with my emotions is funny!? Huh!?"

Goku seemed surprised, "What? No! I didn't mean! I uh!"

"Oh forget it" Chidori looked away, "We'll settle this tomorrow. Right now I just want to kill you and that won't do. I'm going home. Don't follow me." With that, she took off home, leaving the two Saiyans and the Namekian alone.

Vegeta scoffed, "You went the wrong way to go about things, Kakarrot. Whatever, I'm going back to train. Don't let your brat bother me again" he took off without another word.

Piccolo was still watching where Chidori had left, "Are you still proud of how you handle things, Goku? Because for once, I agree with Vegeta"

Goku sighed and closed his eyes in sorrow, "Everything will be fine, Piccolo."

'I hope'

"Hey Chidori?" Trunks asked her.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think Goku took your advice?"

She bit her lip, "He had better. Otherwise we traveled back in time for nothing. I just hope he doesn't take everything little me says to heart. I was pretty hormonal when I was that age. But he'll get over it. Everything will be just fine. You'll see"

Trunks smiled softly, "I hope you're right." He left to go to bed.

'So do I'

R&R

Was the end too stupid? Or did it work? I'm not for sure but it seems like Goku is an asshole who doesn't think about other's emotions first. Oh well. Everything will work out in the end
