Son Squad Ch. 1
Goku was making his way out in the woods, looking for the perfect tree. His search took him to the middle of the woods until he found just the tree he had been searching for. With a swift punch, the young man was able to knock it to the ground with ease. "This is perfect," He said as he picked it up and carried it home on his shoulder.
Speaking of home, a young Chi-Chi was walking around with a small baby girl in her arms. The young woman had a worried look on her face as she came outside. "Gohan! Chiyo! It's lunch time!" She called out.
The baby girl in her arms cooed at the sound of her mother's voice and reached up towards her, a big goofy grin on her face. Chi-Chi giggled and kissed the little girl's cheek. At least she knew where one of her kids were.
Suddenly, Goku emerged from the forest with the tree he had punched in tow. "Goku, there you are," Chi-Chi remarked as she saw her husband. "Have you seen Gohan and Chiyo? It's lunch time."
"Lunch? Oh boy, I'm starved," Goku stated with a big grin on his face.
"Didn't you hear me?! Your son and daughter are missing!" Chi-Chi snapped at Goku for a moment before calming down, remembering the six-month-old in her arms. "They must've wandered off while I wasn't looking."
"Don't worry, Chi-Chi. I'll go look for them," Goku assured his wife before turning to look at the sky. "NIMBUS!"
A moment later, the flying Nimbus came and stopped right in front of Goku. The young man hopped on the cloud and flew off to look for his two elder children.
Sitting on a log in the woods, Gohan and Chiyo were watching as a bird was sitting on the log in the woods. It was perfectly perched there for the two small children to see. The two children's tails swung back and forth freely in unison with one another. "Wow, it's so pretty up close," Gohan whispered to his twin sister.
"Yeah," Chiyo nodded in agreement.
If you looked at the two from afar, you would think that they were practically identical. However, upon further inspection, one would find that the young boy had slightly shorter hair than his sister, whose hair reached nearly to her waist and was in a nice braid. Both wore similar outfits, but their colors were different; the boy had on a yellow top with green sleeves and green pants while the girl had on a more gold top with purple sleeves and purple pants. Both sported red caps with the boy having the four-star dragon ball glued atop his while the girl had the three-star dragon ball glued atop hers. Other than that, they were practically identical.
Suddenly, the bird they were watching began to fly away. Both children reach up to try and grab it but the sudden movement shakes the log free of its spot and causes it to roll down the hill and into the river with both Gohan and Chiyo still atop it. The twins soon pop both their heads out of the water and gasp for air. "Daddy, help!" They both shouted out as the log rushed down the river.
Hearing the cry of his children, Goku has Nimbus rush to the scene and he sees Gohan and Chiyo clinging to the log for dear life. "Gohan! Chiyo!" He called out to the two. He tried to reach down to grab them but noticed a cave coming up down the river. He couldn't reach them in time and had to go up and around the mountain in order to get to them. He got to the other side and was shocked to find the log falling down the waterfall that was pouring out of the cave. "Gohan! Chiyo! Where are you?!"
"Daddy! Help!" A scream from above shouts.
Goku looks up the waterfall and notices that Gohan and Chiyo are crying on a branch from above. They both were like that for a minute and didn't notice Goku floating up on Nimbus to get them. Once they both realize their father is there, the twins jump into his arms.
"Oh Daddy, it was so scary!" Gohan cried into Goku's chest.
"We thought we were gonna go over the waterfall!" Chiyo sobbed as well.
Goku comforted the two children and pats them both on the back. "It's okay, you two," Goku comforts them. He looks down at the waterfall raging below and up at the branch. It was a pretty big jump to get up there. "How'd you two get up here?"
"Uh, we don't know," Gohan shrugs, Chiyo nodding in agreement.
The savior of Earth sighed and looked down at his children with a smile. It didn't really matter right now how they got up there; at least they were safe. "Ok you two, we should get back home. Your Mom was worried sick about you both."
After finishing up their lunch, Goku, Gohan, and Chiyo mount the Nimbus cloud and prepare to head off to the island of Goku's former teacher. "Goku, you do know that you need to bring the twins back by sundown, right?" Chi-Chi asked, wishing to verify that with her husband.
"Don't worry, Chi-Chi," Goku told her, smiling in reassurance. "I'll make sure they'll both be home before then."
"Bye Mommy! Bye Chinku!" Chiyo waves to her mother and baby sister from Goku's lap.
"We'll see you both later!" Gohan waves as well.
Both children had big grins on their faces that reminded Chi-Chi of her husband and she smiled back, a bit at ease now.
"Ba-ba!" Chinku babbles back in her baby talk, opening and closing her little hand as her way of waving. It was her way of saying goodbye.
They all wave one last time before Nimbus takes off, all of them unaware that that would be the last time they would all be together for a while.
About an hour or so later, Goku, Gohan, and Chiyo soon arrived on Master Roshi's island. Goku picks up his two children and jumps off the cloud with them. "Hello? Anyone home?" Goku calls out.
Inside the house, there was movement to be heard. A few moments later, several pairs of feet were heard rushing to the door and from the house emerges Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi. All three of them smiled when they saw Goku after having not seen him in five years.
"Hi guys!" Goku greets back, waving while still holding the two kids.
Everyone else was confused. They were glad to see Goku, but they didn't expect him to bring two children with him. Who were they? Krillin was determined to find out what was going on; "So, Goku, who are the kids? You running a babysitting service or something?"
Goku smiled and shook his head. "Nope. They're my kids," He answered.
The others gasped in shock. Goku, with kids?! "They're what?!" Bulma, Krillin and Roshi all shouted in unison.
"That's right." Shifting the twins a bit, Goku places them both on the ground and in front of his three friends. Both children are a bit nervous at suddenly meeting these three people and huddled close to each other. "Go ahead, you two. Say hello."
"Um, hello," They both greet at the same time and do a little bow of respect.
"Hello," the three adults greeted back, still coming to the realization that Goku was a Father.
"Their names are Gohan and Chiyo," Goku introduces the two. "They're twins."
"Gohan? As in your late grandfather?" Roshi realizes upon hearing the name.
"Yep."
"Aww, that's so cute," Bulma awed and then walked over to greet the two children who had retreated to hide behind their Father. "Gohan, Chiyo, how old are you?"
Chiyo does counting on her fingers and holds up four of them. Gohan speaks for the both of them; "We're four, miss."
"Oh, how polite! You sure they're yours, Goku?" She awes once more. However, her eyes widen upon seeing something quite familiar to her swinging behind Gohan; it was the tail. She looked over to Chiyo and sure enough she had one too. "They have tails?"
"Yep, just like when I was younger. Pretty wild, huh?" Goku didn't realize what this meant to Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin. When they saw the tail, they could only think of the times that Goku had turned into a giant ape and destroyed everything in his sight. It was terrifying. His friends went on to ask him about if their children were odd during full moons but Goku explained that they all went to bed early due to Chinku, surprising everyone again at hearing there was another child of Son Goku.
While all the adults were talking, Gohan and Chiyo went over to play in the sand. Roshi's turtle followed after them and became a shield for the two when the waves came crashing towards them. He didn't mind and Gohan poked his head up first to see a crab on the turtle's back. Chiyo soon looked up too and gasped at the little creature. Gohan began playing rock-paper-scissors with the crab while Chiyo watched, cheering on Gohan and telling him he could definitely win. When he did win, however, the crab retaliated by blow bubbles in Gohan's face, causing Chiyo to laugh. The crab noticed this and blew bubbles at her, now causing Gohan to laugh. They both ended up laughing with each other, which warmed the adults' hearts.
After cleaning off each others' faces, Gohan and Chiyo ran up to their Dad and that's when Bulma noticed the little balls they had on their heads. "Hey, I just noticed that on the top of their hats are dragon balls." Bulma realized, smiling a bit at the little feature on the children's attire.
"Yep. Gohan has the 4-star ball on his hat because he's named after Grandpa. Chiyo has the 3-star ball on her hat and Chinku has the 6-star ball at home on her dresser." Goku chuckled as he imagined little Chinku at home gnawing on the dragon ball like it was a teething toy.
Suddenly, Goku felt a huge power level heading towards the island. His smile was replaced by a serious look that told the others that trouble was on its way. Was it Piccolo coming to take his revenge?
That's when a figure came closer to the island finally touched down in front of them. Goku noticed his crazy long black hair going out in all directions and the smirk on the stranger's face. "At last I've found you," the stranger spoke. "All grown-up are we? Still, I'd recognize you anywhere Kakarot. You look just like Father."
"Kakarot?" Goku blinked. What did he say?
"What is the meaning of this Kakarot?" The stranger questioned. "Have you been distracted by something on this world? Why hasn't your mission been completed yet?"
"Look pal, you better leave right now," Krillin warned. "We don't need guys like you hanging around." As Krillin tried to approach the stranger, Goku began to feel uneasy.
"Krillin, hold on a-" Goku couldn't finish because Krillin was smacked in the face and sent into the wall of the house. "Krillin!" Goku turned to look at the hole and then at the stranger. Rage was written all over the young man's face. He had come to hang out with his friends and this guy just decided to come and attack them? "Why you-" He stopped in mid-sentence when he saw that something was swishing around the stranger's body; it was tail that looked like his own tail that he once had.
The twins took notice too.
"H-He has a tail. Just like the twins, just like I use to have."
The stranger still smirked. "That's right," he said. "So you remember then."
"Remember what? I don't understand."
That's when Master Roshi began to speak. He told Goku about his Grandfather- Grandpa Gohan- and how he found a baby in the woods with a tail. At first, the baby was too wild and out of control. However, when the baby fell into a gorge and hit his head it almost died. It somehow miraculously survived. After that, the child was as sweet as could be. Then Roshi revealed the identity of the wild-child; it was Goku.
"But what does this guy have to do with Goku?" Bulma asked.
"Tell me, who are you?" Goku growled.
The stranger, who still smirking, then began to speak, and surprised everyone; "You and I are the same! You are no earthling. You are a Saiyan, a part of a proud and strong alien race."
The others were shocked. Goku, an alien?! It couldn't be! He had to be lying!
"And I am Raditz, your older brother."
Gohan and Chiyo looked between each other. Did they hear the scary man right? Their Dad was an alien and this guy was his brother? How could this be? And what did that make them?
"G-Goku's got a brother?" Krillin asked with a startled voice.
"And he's an alien?" Bulma asked.
"If I'm an alien then why was I sent here?" Goku asked after some time.
"That's a simple answer Kakarot, you were sent here to kill all of the Earthlings," Raditz explained. He went on to explain the Saiyans and how their system of work went about with older Saiyans going to planets with strong lifeforms and younger Saiyans, babies no less, were sent to places like Earth.
Goku shook his head. He couldn't stand hearing this guy anymore. How could someone who was supposed to be related to him be so cruel? "That's enough," he said with confidence. "I don't care if I'm some alien, and I don't care if you are my brother. I'm not like you. My name is Son Goku now, so leave Earth alone!"
Raditz chuckled. "Unfortunately I can't do that Kakarot." He went on to explain that the Saiyans, including Goku's own parents, were wiped out when the planet was destroyed by a meteor. However, it was revealed that a few Saiyans survived because they were off-world at the time. The Saiyan went on to reveal that his intentions for coming to Earth weren't simply to reunite with his little brother but to recruit him to help him and the other two Saiyans in wiping out a particularly tough race.
That sickened Goku to his core. No way would he ever do that. "I'll never join you!"
"Fine. But do tell me something; are those your two children near the blue haired woman?"
Goku looked over at his two children cowering by Bulma. They shook as Raditz looked their way. "No." Goku lied.
"Oh please Kakarot, I can see their tails. Or do all earth children have tails?"
"You leave them alone!"
His threats were in vain though because Raditz quickly punched Goku in the stomach and sent him flying into the sand. The young man held his side in agony as he heard his children running towards him.
"Daddy!" the twins yelled as they tried to reach their Father. However, Raditz grabbed the both of them from off of the ground before either child could reach their Father. Gohan was in his right hand and Chiyo was in his left.
"Kakarot, I'll give you 24 hours to accept my offer, or else your children will die," Raditz threatened. "And to prove yourself, I want 100 dead humans by tomorrow. If not, then your children will pay the price."
Gohan and Chiyo let out wails of fear and tears were running down their round cheeks. No one was coming to their rescue.
"Using kids as a shield," Krillin growled. "You're no warrior: you're a coward!"
"The decision is still his. Whether my niece and nephew die is up to him," Raditz said. That's when he rose into the air with the crying children. "And don't make the foolish thought that you can defeat me, Kakarot."
"Daddy!" the twins screamed as Raditz flew away with them.
"Gohan, Chiyo!" Goku yelled as his children disappeared with Raditz.
That's it for now! Let me know what you guys think of the story so far. Have a good day guys!
