A New Threat Arrives…From Space

I don't own Digimon or Dragonball Z

Daisuke dashed through the forest, looking around frantically. Why did she bring them here again? Oh, right, they loved this place. Including all of the terrifying animals that could eat them. Daisuke had made the mistake of taking her eyes off of them for just a few seconds, and they were gone. Sensing their energy was difficult, but she was quickly narrowing it down. Goku had split up so they could cover more ground.

Her eyes widened as she ran into a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a huge, growling Saber-tooth Tiger. And in front of that tiger were two young children. One had mid-length black hair and his father's black eyes. He was dressed in a slightly torn robe with a hat holding the Four Star Dragonball on top of it. Next to him was a young girl with blue hair, yellow eyes, and was clothed in a small yet elegant dress with a frilly hem. Daisuke had moved into action barely a moment after registering the scene. There was no way she was letting Gohan and Azumi, her own children, get eaten by a tiger.

She kicked the tiger in the face, sending it flying into a tree. It growled at Daisuke who snarled back with her eyes glowing, causing the tiger to back down and walk off.

"Mama," Azumi said in relief while Gohan smiled until they saw Daisuke frowning at them.

"Do you have anything to say anything for yourselves?" she asked the twins, both of whom were looking at their feet. "Your father and I told you to stay right next to us. We thought something bad had happened to you both." They began tearing up.

"We're sorry mommy, we didn't mean to," Azumi said sadly as she and Gohan began crying, making Daisuke sigh before she knelt down and hugged her children.

"It's alright you two. Just don't two it again, your father and I couldn't bear it if something happened to the both of you," she told them, kissing their foreheads and making them smile. "Come on you two, let's go and find your father."

"Okay mama," they said, and followed their mother who walked out of the clearing.

Five years had passed after Daisuke had defeated Piccolo Jr. During those five years, she and Goku had gotten married and settled down in Goku's house, near a forest at the foot of Mount Paozu. Bulma had offered to make the house bigger, much to Daisuke and Goku's gratitude. Soon, Daisuke had become pregnant, and a year after the Martial Arts Tournament, Daisuke gave birth to twins. Gohan was named after Goku's grandfather who inherited a tail like his father, while Azumi inherited her mother's looks including Digimon like traits, surprising Daisuke since she didn't think her children would look like digimon.

Azumi had pointed nails that almost looked like claws and some sort of plated white tail.

"Daisuke, there you are." Daisuke was brought out of her thoughts when she saw her husband Goku running over to her and the kids. "I'm glad you're alright, all of you," he said, hugging his kids before doing so to his wife as well.

"Don't worry Goku, we're fine. Just had a run in with a sabretooth tiger," Daisuke reassured him. Over the years, Goku had stayed mostly the same personality wise, however, his outfit had changed due to Daisuke's insistence that if he was going to kick ass, he would look good while doing it.

He now wore a dark red, almost black Gi top with a metallic black tank top underneath. He also wore a pair of black fighting pants with blood red arm bands and a pair of black and red combat boots. His hair remained the messy spread that it always had, somewhat to Daisuke's chagrin.

"Are you sure?" Goku asked, causing his wife to roll her eyes.

"Yes Goku, we're fine. Now come on, otherwise we'll be late for the reunion at Master Roshi's." She pulled out a capsule and tossed it in front of her where it opened, revealing a hover car. "Hop in, we'll get there in no time."

"Oh boy," Gohan said, running towards the car with Azumi on his heels.

"Good thing Bulma helped you get your driver's license," Goku said, and Daisuke nodded, climbing into the car with Goku before it flew off towards Kame House.

In a field far away, a farmer was busy shovelling hay into the back of his pickup truck. "This job's harder than I thought it was going to be," he mumbled before looking to the sky, watching as something fell towards the earth. "What the?" he asked, watching as the object crashed not far from where he was. He got into his pickup truck and drove to the crash site. "Better bring my pea shooter." He grabbed his rifle before approaching the crater to see not a meteor, but a sphere made of steel. "That's no space rock, it's made of steel. What's going on here?" The sphere opened up and a male figure emerged before floating out of the crater and landing in front of the farmer.

"So the creatures on this planet are still alive. Kakarot has failed us," the figure said in frustration.

"You're….on…my property," the farmer said nervously.

"Is that so?" the man asked, activating some sort of device over his left eye. He laughed as a number appeared on the screen. "Your power level is five…scum."

"Don't you come any closer I'll use this!" the farmer warned as the man walked closer. He fired his rifle, but to his shock the man caught the bullet with ease. A flick of the wrist send it flying back at him, killing the farmer and sending him flying into his truck.

"Now then….Kakarot, where are you?" The device beeped. "A high power level over there, prepare yourself Kakarot!" he shouted, flying off in the direction the device was leading him. He flew over a city and scowled in disgust at the inhabitants below. "Miserable vermin."

In a desert wasteland, Piccolo stood, overlooking the barren landscape, now wearing his turban and cape once again. A moment later he turned around with a look of terror on his face. "What is that? I've never felt so much power before, it can't be Goku or Daisuke's it is too horrible. That power's easily twice my own." He saw the strange figure approaching.

"Pardon me for dropping in, I'm trying to find a man named Kakarot. I thought you were him," he told Piccolo once he landed in front of him.

"Well you thought wrong. Now turn around and leave before I get angry," Piccolo told him.

"Well, someone's having a bad day."

"Trust me, you have no idea. Now get lost," Piccolo demanded, causing the stranger to chuckle.

"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you?" he asked, activating the device again and it beeped. "Power level five hundred and twenty two. Not too bad, I assume you're not from this planet. But you'd be a fool to attack me with such a….insufficient power level."

"Listen here, you came to me. I have no intention on starting a fight," Piccolo said.

"Oh, but I do," the stranger said with a chuckle, making Piccolo grit his teeth.

"Alright, if that's the way he wants it." With that thought, Piccolo raised his arm and fired a powerful wave of Ki at the stranger, creating a cloud of dust on impact and making him smirk. The smirk faded as the smoke cleared, revealing an unharmed opponent who laughed.

"I'm impressed you managed to singe some of my leg hairs, but allow me to show you a more effective way to deal with an opponent. It's one of my favourites, I call it a Double Sunday," he said, holding his arm up while Piccolo shook in terror. "Now then, see if you can follow this one." Before he could attack Piccolo, his device beeped. "I guess this is your lucky day green man." He flew into the air looking around. "There it is, just at the edge of my scouter's range and it's big. It must be the highest power level on this planet. It's Kakarot, I'm sure of it." He flew off in the direction, leaving Piccolo who had fallen to his knees, panting with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"I don't believe it, I hit him with a lot of energy and he didn't even flinch. This guy could be a problem," he growled.

"Have you forgotten your pride Kakarot? We are Saiyans, the mightiest warriors in the entire universe. I can still remember the day we sent you to this planet as an infant. We had high hopes for you Kakarot, why have you not carried out your mission?" the Saiyan warrior said, flying through the sky. "You are a discredit to our race brother; once I find you, I'll show you what it means to be a Saiyan. Kakarot!" the alien shouted, flying through the sky at an even faster speed.

Meanwhile, at the Kame House and unaware to the danger that had arrived on the planet, Master Roshi, Krillin, and Turtle were inside as Bulma landed outside in a flying vehicle. She walked to the open door. "Hey you guys," she greeted.

"Hey Bulma," Krillin replied.

"It sure has been a long time hasn't it?" the blue haired woman asked, walking into the house.

"Yeah, but look at you, still as beautiful as ever," Roshi, who was wearing a simple green shirt and yellow shirts, complimented Bulma. She was wearing a strapless blue shirt, white shorts and shoes, and a white jacket.

"Oh you, you're impossible," she said, giggling.

"I guess you forgot about my truffles, but it is okay, I forgive you," Roshi said, chugging down a beer before Bulma surprised him with a box she pulled out from behind her back. "Goodness, you're going to spoil this old man. I'm so happy right now, I could just squeeze ya," he said lecherously, staring at Bulma's breasts and earning a whack on the head from her.

"Why did I ever think you could change?" Bulma asked angrily.

"Wahoo!" Azumi and Gohan cheered as Daisuke drove the hover car over the ocean. "So cool." They watched as some seagulls flew past them.

"So, what's Yamcha been up to these days Bulma?" Krillin asked, causing her to growl.

"That jerk, I don't even want to think about him. He made me so mad; I didn't even tell him we were going to be here today. I never want to see him again, we're finished. I mean, can you believe it? He cheated on me with Chi-Chi of all people!"

"Breaking up is hard to do," Roshi said.

"I wouldn't know," Krillin replied.

"So, where are Daisuke and Goku?" Bulma asked.

"Well, they said they were going to be here, so I should assume they're on their way over," Krillin answered.

"Maybe they're getting in some last minute personal time," Roshi said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively, and earning another whack on the head from Bulma, knocking the old turtle hermit to the ground.

"This power moves with great speed, but not fast enough. Kakarot, you can't escape me," the Saiyan thought as he began to fly over the ocean.

"Here we are kids," Daisuke said, landing the hover car outside the Kame House.

"Hello, anyone home?" Goku asked.

"Goku, Daisuke," Bulma greeted, opening the door followed by Roshi and Krillin.

"Yo," Daisuke replied with a grin.

"Who're the kids?" Bulma asked, looking at Gohan and Azumi in their parents arms.

"You trying to earn some extra cash babysitting?" Krillin asked.

"Nope. They're our kids," Goku answered.

"WHAT!?" Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin shouted.

"Pretty wild, huh?" Goku asked.

"They're adorable," Bulma cooed.

"Yup. Gohan, Azumi, say hi," Daisuke told her kids.

"Hello everyone," Gohan said, bowing and the others bowed.

"Hiya," Azumi chirped.

"Gohan? You named him after your grandfather didn't you?" Roshi asked Goku.

"Yeah," he answered.

"Well he looks like a fine boy, I'm sure your grandfather would be proud," Roshi said while Turtle approached the two kids. They gently held onto their parent's legs.

"So Gohan, Azumi, how old are you?" Bulma asked.

"Four and a half," Azumi answered, both her and Gohan holding up four fingers.

"What do you guys wanna be when you grow up?" Bulma asked, crouching down to speak with the twins.

"Do you wanna be big strong fighters like your parents?" Krillin asked.

"Well, we haven't thought about that yet; it's possible. But it's their choice. We're not forcing them to be anything they don't want to be," Daisuke answered, and Goku nodded. He saw Turtle bowing his head to Azumi and Gohan.

"I think he wants you two to pet him," he told his children who nodded and began to pet Turtle.

"Hey, they've got tails," Bulma said, noticing the tails on Gohan and Azumi.

"Yup they were born with them just like me," Goku said.

"Oh man. Uh, has anything strange happened to them at night?" Bulma asked.

'What do you mean?" Daisuke asked as Roshi appeared beside her.

"She means, have they ever looked up at the moon at night when it's full?"

"No, they haven't," Daisuke replied.

"Yeah, we all go to bed really early," Goku added while Azumi and Gohan began to ride away on Turtle. "Why do you ask?"

"Ah, no reason, no particular reason at all," Roshi said, quickly patting Goku's shoulder while chuckling nervously.

"Well they're certainly different from the two of you when you were younger," Krillin said, watching as Gohan and Azumi stood at the shore before running and hiding behind Turtle as the waves rolled in.

"I know, Daisuke's very protective of them," Goku said.

"Because they're only four Goku, if we just let them do whatever they want, they could get hurt," Daisuke replied as Azumi and Gohan began playing rock paper scissors with a crab which had walked onto Turtle's shell.

"Rock," Azumi cheered, holding out a fist before the crab began blowing bubbles at her, making Roshi laugh.

"Careful there, Azumi that crab's a mighty sore loser, he might pinch ya," Roshi warned the girl who ran back to Daisuke and jumped into her arms. Gohan did the same with Goku.

"He's got a Dragonball on his hat," Bulma said.

"Yeah, the four star ball, it took me a while to find it but I wanted Gohan to have it since it was passed down to me by my grandfather. We've been collecting Dragonballs for fun, we've got the three star and the six star ball back at the house," Goku replied.

"So, what're you two gonna wish for when you get the other Dragonballs?" Krillin asked, skimming a rock across the ocean.

"Not really sure; to be honest, I really don't need to ask for anything since I've got everything I could ask for," Goku answered, skimming his own stone. Daisuke joined in, and soon both she and Goku were neck and neck.

"I thought the two would have less power now that she and Goku have settled down, but it seems that they're as strong as ever, if not even stronger," Roshi thought before Daisuke and Goku tensed up and they began looking around. "What is it?" he asked them.

"There is something bad heading right for us," Daisuke answered.

"You sure?" Bulma asked her.

"We're positive, I've never felt a power like this before," Goku answered.

"Yeah I'm feeling it now too," Krillin said.

"There's nothing there you guys," Bulma said.

"What is it? I've never felt a power this big before, such an evil power," Daisuke thought, looking up to see a figure flying down towards them. "Up there!" she shouted.

"I see him," Goku said.

"It's not Piccolo is it?" Krillin asked as the figure landed on the beach.

In front of Goku and Daisuke was somebody that neither knew, but radiated danger. He had long midnight raven black hair that was spiky and like a lions mane in length, peach tan skin similar to Goku's and a lean yet muscular build that all fighters have. He also had muscular arms that had white gloves on them, a black armor chest plate with shoulder pads, a black speedo, and had a brown monkey tail wrapped around his waist. His face was angular yet handsome, and he had onyx eyes, one that was visible and the other covered by a green, eye like device attached to his ear. A pair of white boots with gold tips covered his feet and he had a scowl like sneer on his face. The air around him made Daisuke want to roar.

"So we meet once again, you've grown up since I last saw you. But I recognize you, you've grown up Kakarot," the figure said.
