A/N: Hello. This is the first chapter of "Dragon Ball Z: Chiyo", which is basically a reimagining of Dragon Ball Z. :) But since I'm doing that, I prefer to use the quotes from "DBZ Kai", seeing as it was actually a remake of "Dragon Ball Z". So, you can see the similarities below. Oh, and while Sean Schemmel voices Goku, Colleen Clinkenbeard voices both Gohan and the title character, Chiyo while Chris Sabat voices Piccolo, Monica Rial voices Bulma, Mike McFarland voices Roshi, and Sonny Strait voices Krillin and Bardock with Emily Neeves voicing Gine, Chris Ayers voicing Frieza, and Andrew Chandler voicing Cooler. And personally, I like Norihito Sumitomo's score for the Dragon Ball franchise better. Enjoy. :)
Dragon Ball Z: Chiyo
"Prologue to Battle!; The Return of Goku!"
Chapter 1
It all started when in space, the armored squadron noticed two pods with Salza speaking up upon noticing this.
"What's this? Someone's getting away. Magnify the image.", Salza spoke.
"Right. I'm on it, Salza.", Neize agreed.
"I want the interior view as well.", Salza added as Neize then filtered the monitors from four to two and then zoomed in toward one of the pods with Gine and Kakarot inside as they had hopeful looks in their faces while the latter looked a bit more confused for one monitor and Tarba and Tarble for the second monitor.
"Got it.", Neize spoke.
"Where do they think they're going?", Salza asked before Neize checked the coordinates.
"It looks like one of the pods is headed toward a planet called Earth. And another's headed for the planet called Namek. Intercept courses?", Neize asked.
"Yes.", Salza responded.
However, a different voice spoke up and had a different idea.
"Belay that order.", the voice spoke.
The voice belonged to none other than a sort of arcosian in a hover chair with a blue marking on his forehead, purple skin, and red marks near his eyes named Cooler, the direct sibling to King Cold's son, Frieza.
"Sire!", Dore spoke while bowing.
"Yes, Sire.", Neize bowed before Salza bowed as well.
"But...someone is escaping.", Salza spoke in worry before the arcosian explained.
"Frieza's the one in charge of this quadrant. Let him clean up his own mess. I've got 7 planets to destroy by the end of the day. Why should I allow myself to get behind schedule just to cover his mistake? Besides, they're just Saiyan children. And their mothers, especially that King Vegeta's wife, share the exact same battle power. They are no threat to us.", Cooler assured as he flew over to the monitor in his hover chair before showing Gine and Kakarot inside the ship headed for Earth.

Narrator: In outer space, a mother and her son venture to an off-world planet for the first time. Little could they know, high in the skies above, both their loved one and their homeworld are under threat by a fearsome enemy.
Meanwhile, Bardock quickly charged toward Frieza's men before they fired Ki Blasts at Bardock, only for him to evade them and strike back against his men five times before dashing toward Frieza, only to be elbowed on the back, trapped by a full-Nelson and punched in the gut, only for it to be ineffective before he then kicked two of his men off before shouting to Frieza.
"Frieza! Show yourself! Come out and face me, you coward!", Bardock shouted before Frieza hovered out from the hatch, surprising the soldiers.
"He's come out.", One soldier spoke.
"It's Lord Frieza.", the two soldiers spoke in surprise.
"He's joining the battle.", the fourth soldier added.
"Hey, Frieza. If you're really as strong as you say you are, you'd fight me. Then, we'd know for sure who's the strongest in the universe.", Bardock goaded, puzzling and angering the current emperor of the Universe.
After a few moments of growling, Frieza calmed himself and spoke.
"You really want to die? That badly?", Frieza asked as he hovered out of his hoverchair. "I'll warn you: I have three more transformations."
Bardock wanted to take him on at his Final Form and to defeat him with everything he's got.
"How about we just get to the point and fight at your final form already?", Bardock insisted, quickly infuriating Frieza.
"I'll show you all!", Frieza shouted before he then roared as his purple aura flared out.
Then, after a while, Frieza was now in his final form, with Dodoria and Zarbon watching.
"Here's a little reward for angering me.", Frieza threatened.
However, Bardock was not the sort to be intimidated easily as he only grinned.
"Well, thanks. I was hoping to fight you at your true form.", Bardock grinned, puzzling Zarbon and Dodoria.
"Is that Saiyan mad? Fighting against Frieza at his true form?", puzzled Zarbon.
"Clearly, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.", Dodoria responded.
Outside, Bardock then raised his right fist near his head and moved his index finger back and forth.
"Tell you what, Frieza. How about you attack first, just to give me a clue as to who I'm dealing with.", Bardock goaded even further before Frieza responded.
"You really want to perish that quickly, don't you? Very well. I'll start.", Frieza spoke before he then dashed toward Bardock and punched him in the chest, only for it to have no effect against Bardock before he then grew irritated and tried to hit Bardock again, shocking Zarbon and Dodoria.
"This is inconceivable! How can he withstand that much of Frieza's brute force?!", Zarbon exclaimed.
"This guy has to be some kind of monster!", Dodoria concurred.
Frieza continued his assault before Bardock then grabbed Frieza's fist, shocking him as he then moved his fist away from his face.
"What in the..?", Frieza asked before Bardock spoke.
"Was that your best shot? Now, let me show you mine.", Bardock spoke before he then punched Frieza in the gut as hard as he could without transforming, shocking Frieza as he spit out saliva before being sent towards the front of his spaceship, much to Zarbon and Dodoria's shock.
"He-he dealt that much damage to Lord Frieza, even in his final form?!", Dodoria exclaimed in shock.
"B-But that's... Impossible!", Zarbon exclaimed before Bardock glared at Frieza and goaded him once more.
"If you really want to win, I suggest you give it all you've got.", Bardock warned before Frieza growled angrily and prepared his Supernova as Bardock grinned while it expanded to its normal height.
"That's it, Frieza. Take the bait.", Bardock thought.
"You ridiculous imbecile!", Frieza shouted before firing it toward Bardock, and coincidentally toward Planer Vegeta.
Then, the blast seemingly overtook Bardock as he screamed and had another vision of Goku facing Frieza on Planet Namek before grinning. Then, he remembered his promise and gave an angry look before exerting his power to completely cancel out his Supernova.
"No!", Bardock shouted as the Supernova Attack was being disintegrated, much to Frieza's shock.
"What?!", exclaimed Frieza.
Even Zarbon and Dodoria were blanched.
"D-Did he just..?!", Zarbon began before Dodoria answered.
"Yeah! He brushed Frieza's best move aside!", Dodoria replied.
Outside, blue electricity arced around Bardock as he shook a bit and spoke.
"That's pathetic. I...will be the one to avenge them.", Bardock proclaimed before he placed his right hand on his bandana in his forehead and clenched his fingers tightly onto it.
"Me! ME! I'm going to defeat you!", Bardock shouted before he then exerted his full power as a blue aura overcame him with a shell forming around him while his hair spiked up and moved upward, blinding Frieza, his top men, and the entirety of the Frieza Force as the scouters exploded on the due to the intense power radiating from Bardock.
When the light dimmed, only a light blue shell covering Bardock remained before the shell crumbled, revealing Bardock in Super Saiyan Azure for the first time, shocking Frieza, and all of his army.
"Wh-what is that form?! I-is it..?", Frieza began before Bardock spoke.
"Oh, this? This power goes way beyond the 'Legendary Super Saiyan'. In fact, I've gotten this far thanks to my recent adventures with my friends, I can tell you that much. What I can also tell you is that this form is known as 'Super Saiyan Azure'.", Bardock explained before Frieza started growling.
"And right now, in this state, this will change everything. Both...my fate, Gine's, Raditz's, Kakarot's, and...yours!", Bardock states as he began preparing his Riot Javelin on his right hand before he yelled out and launched it toward Frieza.
However, before it could make contact, Frieza managed to stop the blast with one hand, although proving to be greatly difficult as he strained before he suddenly screamed as it then exploded.
After a moment, though, the smoke cleared, revealing that Frieza did survive, but with but a wound on his hand as he panted before then turning to his men, who were murmuring concerns for him.
"I believe a strategic retreat is in order.", Frieza stated, puzzling Bardock.
"What?", Bardock puzzled.
"I don't know how it is that you've managed to unlock that transformation, but the next time we meet, it won't be enough to defeat me, let alone destroy me. That, I can personally guarantee. Until then, consider your homeworld spared.., for the moment.", Frieza smirked.
Then, just as the spaceships started turning tail and taking off, Bardock looked up and spoke in his thoughts.
"Kakarot, my son. You must succeed where I have failed. One day, you must rise up to liberate the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta. Redeem the pride of our race.", Bardock thought as Kakarot and Gine arrive on Earth and were shown to be on Earth as Gine carried Goku and walked across the Bamboo forest before coming across an elderly man with a hat and a white mustache.

Narrator: So it came to be that this mother and child form a far-away planet fell to Earth.
"Oh, dear. Are you two lost?", Grandpa Gohan asked.
"Well, we were just looking for somewhere nearby where we could rest.", Gine replied.
"Well, I can't very well leave you two out here all on your own.", Grandpa Gohan responded before he then led the two to a sort of village nearby.

Narrator: "And thanks to the kindness of a stranger, they would make their new world their home."
"So, what is your son's name?", Grandpa Gohan asked.
"Him? Well, his name's Kakarot.", Gine responded.
"Kakarot? That sounds like a vegetable. How about we call him…Goku?", Grandpa Gohan suggested.
"'Goku'… I like that.", Gine grinned before it later showed Goku jumping up and swinging from a tree branch and then from a vine as Gine looked on in wonder before showing them meeting up with Bulma as well as the 7 dragon balls before showing the result of their gathering: Shenron, towering above Pilaf, and then Bardock arriving as Goku, Gine, and Bulma looked on before Goku and Gine riding with Bulma as Bardock flew next to them as well as Goku training with Krillin and Master Roshi whilst escaping the dinosaur before showing Goku's fight against Tien at the World Tournament as well as Goku training with Bardock before showing the threat of Demon King Piccolo being made known before Korin helped Goku tap into the vast reserves of his power and later defeat the wicked demon king as a silhouette of a great ape flashed behind Goku, only for Demon King Piccolo to spew out an egg from his mouth toward the mountains where the egg, cracked and revealing the baby though it may be, resided before, 3 years later, Goku and Piccolo Jr. fought each other at the World Tournament, ending with his tremendous loss against Goku before, 5 years later, Goku was married to Chi-Chi with Gine, Bardock, Bulma, Yamcha, Puar, and Launch present at the wedding before then showing a Saiyan pod on its course for Earth, passing the sun and then entering the planet's orbit.
Narrator: This is where the story of Goku begins. The years passed and the baby Goku grew to be a strong, healthy boy. But he and Gine's lives would be forever changed when they met a girl named Bulma and joined her on her quest to find the dragon balls, 7 magic orbs that, when gathered together, would call forth the dragon Shenron to grant a single wish. Goku met many new friends in his travels and honed his skills as a pupil of the great martial artist, Master Roshi, skills that were continually put to the test as he was forced to defend himself and his friends against a host of dangerous opponents. Goku's toughest test came when he faced the powerful villain King Piccolo, but the help of the sage Korin allowed Goku to tap into vast reserves of still-hidden strength. In the battle that followed, the true extent of Goku's otherworldly powers was revealed, and with a mighty charge, King Piccolo's quest for World Domination came crashing to a halt. However, with his dying breath, King Piccolo had time to hatch one final scheme and 3 years later, Piccolo Jr. appeared before a grown-up Goku, looking to avenge his father and resume his evil plans. Another epic battle ensued and though the two were almost equally matched, in the end, the new Piccolo still could not withstand Goku's might. 5 years have passed since that fateful day. Goku married his childhood friend, Chi-Chi and the two have enjoyed a quiet life together while the world remained at peace. Until now…

Meanwhile, Chi-Chi recently finished making lunch before deciding to shout for Gohan and Chiyo.
"Gohan! Chiyo! It's lunchtime! Gohan! Chiyo!", Chi-chi shouted as elsewhere, Goku was jumping from branch to branch before jumping down from the branch and then landing on the ground.
"This one oughta do it.", Goku guessed, standing in front of the biggest tree in the forest before knocking it down with a punch before, back home, Chi-chi shouted for her children again.
"Gohan, Chiyo, where are you?", Chi-chi shouted just before noticing Goku coming back with a tree.

"Goku. I'm glad you're back. Have you seen Gohan and Chiyo? I've got lunch ready.", Chi-chi asked as Goku set the tree down.
"Well, what are we waiting for? I'm starving.", Goku responded.
"Did you even hear what I said? I asked you where your children are!", Chi-chi responded.
"Huh? I don't know, I thought they were with you.", Goku responded.
"They must've snuck off to play when I wasn't looking. You three should eat soon or you'll be late for Master Roshi's.", Chi-chi suggested.
"Okay. I'll go look for 'em.", Goku assured.
"Not by yourself, you're not. I'm coming, too. They haven't been gone long. I doubt they've wandered too far.", Chi-chi stated.
"Right. Don't worry, We'll find them", Goku assured as he took off only for Bardock to walk over with his wife to see his son and daughter-in-law.
"Hey, you two!", Bardock shouted to Goku and Chi-Chi.
"Hm?", Goku puzzled.
"What are two still doing here? You're all going to be late seeing everyone.", Gine stated.
"Well, we'll leave soon. We just need to find your grandchildren.", Chi-Chi assured.
"Well I think I saw both of them go into the forest in that direction over there. That, and I think I heard Chiyo saying something about getting fish.", Bardock responded.
"Awesome. Thanks so much, Dad. All right. We'll go get them, then we'll have lunch, and then we're off.", Goku grinned.

Meanwhile, Chiyo was humming a song to herself when she saw the shadow of a nimbus.
"Huh?",Chiyo puzzled before looking up to see her dad soaring in the air on his Nimbus.
"Daddy!", Chiyo shouted with joy.
"Huh?", Goku puzzled before looking down to see his daughter.
"Hey, Chiyo, there you are! Hey, do you know where your brother is?", Goku asked.
Then, Chiyo thought on that for a few seconds before answering.
"No, I don't know where he is.", Chiyo responded.
"Well, then let's go find him.", Goku suggested.
"Okay, Daddy.", Chiyo nodded.
Meanwhile, Gohan was looking at a bird while on top of a log.
"You're a pretty bird.", Gihan grinned as the bird groomed itself a bit.
"Hi. My name's Gohan. Nice to meet you", Gohan greeted before the bird started flying away.
"Aw, don't go!", Gohan spoke before the log started toppling away with Gohan splashing into the river as the log fell in as well before Gohan resurfaced from the water and tried to climb on, but had no luck as the log just span before it started going along the river.
"Chiyo! Mommy! Daddy, help!", Gohan shouted.
Meanwhile, Goku, Chi-Chi, Chiyo, Bardock, and Gine were just dropping in on the flying nimbus with Goku's mother and father flying in the air before suddenly noticing Gohan in danger.
"Gohan!", Goku and Chi-Chi shouted before Gohan turned around and saw Goku, Chi-Chi, Bardock, and Gine, much to his relief.
"Mom? Dad! Grandma and Grandpa! Here, I'm here!", Gohan shouted before he wound up going underwater before the log turned around at 90 degrees with Gohan reemerging just in front of one end of it and held on as best he could.
"What happened out there?!", Gine spoke in worry.
"Don't know what just happened to lead to that, but I do know what could happen if we don't do something and fast.", Bardock replied.
"Just hang on!", Goku urged.
"Don't worry, We'll get you out!", Chi-Chi urged before she and the others moved in closer to Gohan.
"Hold on! There. Almost…", Chiyo spoke as she then moved closer to Gohan only to notice a dark spot that the river was headed for with Gohan going in as Goku was forced to go upward.
"Chiyo! Mommy! Daddy!", Gohan shouted.
"Gohan!", Goku, Chiyo, and Chi-Chi shouted as the they ascended upward before proceeding above the rock to go to the other side, hoping to catch Gohan before he could fall.
Meanwhile, however, Gohan panicked as he reached the other side before he started falling off the waterfall just as Goku arrived at the other side only to notice Gohan falling off.
"Chiyo! Mommy! Daddy!", Gohan shouted before Goku, Chiyo, and Chi-Chi gasped upon seeing a log falling down and quickly assumed the worst, although not one to give up.
"Gohan! Gohan!", Goku shouted before Gohan continued shouting, frankly giving him and the others relief as it turned out Gohan was just on top of a small tree branch on the mountain.
"Uh, Daddy? Try looking up there.", Chiyo spoke, pointing to the branch.
"Help, Mommy, Daddy! Chiyo, Grandma, Grandpa! I don't like it up here! I can't get down! Daddy!", Gohan shouted before he stopped and then noticed Goku and Nimbus in front of him.
"Oh, Mommy, Daddy, it was so scary! There was this bird, and then it flew away, and then I fell, and the log spun, and the water…", Gohan began as he then jumped off and then hugged Goku tightly.
"Wait. How did you get up there? Did you...jump?", Gine puzzled before Gohan stopped his fearful wailing and got just as puzzled, although still reeling in recovery from what just happened.
"What? Oh. Uh, I don't know.", Gohan responded.
"Well, how did both of you get separated in the first place?", Goku asked.
"Well, we were walking through the woods and then Chiyo ran off without me.", Gohan responded before Goku gave his daughter a look of disappointment.
"Is this true, Chiyo?", Goku asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry, Daddy.", Chiyo apologized.
"A-bup-bup-bup. It's not me you should be apologizing to.", Goku responded, gesturing to Gohan.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Gohan.", Chiyo apologized.
"Well, it's okay, Chiyo.", Gohan assured before Goku put the hat with the four-star dragon ball on top of his head.
"Well, with out of the way, what do you say we get you two home, huh? Your mom was worried about you guys. And don't forget, I'm taking you two to meet my old teacher today, too.", Goku grinned.
"Really?", Chiyo spoke in surprise.
"Okay.", Gohan and Chiyo grinned.
"Well, we're off. Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!", Goku waved as Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Chiyo took off for Roshi's house.
"Have fun, you four! Don't stay there for too long, and tell everyone we said hello!", Gine waved back.
"Hemph.", Bardock smirked.
Meanwhile, in a farm, the farmer was putting the hey in the back of his truck before stopping to take his hat off and then brushed the sweat off.
"Whoo, boy… I guess that should just about do it.", the farmer spoke before he suddenly heard a faint whooshing sound from the sky and looked up as the sound built up slowly but surely before it passed him, headed for a distant, but nearby area, and then crashed down on it, causing some of the creatures to panic as the farmer was shaken, literally and figuratively.
Play DBS: Broly Music: "Broly's Potential"
"What in… the heck… was that? A-A meteor? A UFO?!", the farmer asked in surprise before deciding to investigate by driving his truck over to the crash site, got off the car, and headed toward the ring to get a scope of what crashed.
"That's no meteor. But what is it?", the farmer puzzled before the pod opened up slowly, frightening the farmer a bit before it opened all the way to show someone stepping out and walking out carefully as well, catching the farmer unawares before the stranger stood up straight as the light faded to show the full appearance of a man before ascending upwards from the crash site and then landing on the grass, frightening the farmer a bit as he shivered with fear.
"Wh-Who…who are you…? What do you want?", the farmer asked nervously before prepping his gun just as Raditz scanned the farmer and saw that his power level was only at a mere 5.
"You have a power level of only 5. Heh, pitiful.", Raditz spoke as he stepped forward once.
"Stay back! Don't come any closer…! I-I'll shoot, I mean it!", the farmer warned before Raditz stepped forward, frightening him to the point of shooting a bullet at him only for Raditz to catch it with his hand, shocking the farmer before Raditz dropped the bullet to the ground gently as he let go of it before the farmer took off running in fear as he screamed a bit.
"Hmph. It's a race of utter weaklings.", Raditz scoffed.
End DBS: Broly Music: "Broly's Potential"
Then, Raditz picked up a stronger reading from his scouter and saw someone in the air.
"There's some one with a decent power level. Range 4880.", Raditz spoke before he then took off into the air.
"Where are you, Kakarot?!", Raditz shouted as he then flew into the air.

Later, Piccolo suddenly felt Raditz's energy and gasped in surprise.
"Wh…What is this…power I'm sensing? It can't be… Goku?!", Piccolo spoke in surprise as he turned around before looking up only to see Raditz instead.
"Who's that?", Piccolo puzlled before Raditz caught up and then landed on the ground and then grew quite surprised, although not too visibly.

"Wait a minute, This is a Namekian, isn't it? What the heck is a Namekian doing on this planet?", Raditz thought before speaking up.
"You're not Kakarot.", Raditz spoke out loud.
"What do you want? Who are you? You have some business with me?", Piccolo asked.
"No, I was just looking for someone.", Raditz responded.
"Then, unless you're in a hurry to die, keep moving.", Piccolo warned.
"Well, aren't you the feisty one.", Raditz only laughed before then checking his scouter, surveying his power level.
"Ahh, and I see why. Power level 322. That's almost respectable. Almost. It's still nothing compared to me.", Raditz commented before laughing a bit.
"Why, you! I should kill you where you stand! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?", Piccolo retorted angrily.
"Does it matter?", Raditz only responded with a smirk, putting Piccolo in unease.
"What's wrong with him? He can't be that powerful, can he? This is only one way to find out.", Piccolo though before powering up and then launching his attack on Raditz and chuckled with a smirk, only for that smirk to go away just as quickly, replaced with a look of puzzlement as Raditz barely felt that attack at all.
"You call that an attack? Pathetic. Altghough, it is effective at kicking up dust.", Raditz chuckled.
Needless to say, Piccolo was shocked from the sight of Raditz's imperviousness to his attack.
"You finished? That all you've got? In that case, why I don't I show you one of my moves?", Raditz spoke as he prepared one of his own as Piccolo stared in shock before Raditz's scouter suddenly sensed a new energy nearby.

"A new signal. It looks like another strong power level.", Raditz spoke before then ascending up into the air.
At the air, Raditz was surveying where it was coming from before he finally found it.
"It's that way. Range 12909 and closing. It's a big one, certainly the biggest power level on this puny planet. This is it. It must be Kakarot.", Raditz spoke before then taking off toward the source.
Meanwhile, Piccolo fell on his knees and gasped for breath as if he just emerged from the water.
"Who was that? He's miles away and I still can't stop trembling.", Piccolo spoke to himself in worry and befuddlement.
Meanwhile, at Master Roshi's place, Bulma was just arriving via small airship and then headed over the doorstep.
"Hello in there! Guess who!", Bulma greeted before Krillin and Roshi turned to see her at the door.
"Hey.", Master Roshi greeted.
"Bulma.", Krillin greeted.
"Yep. I got your invitation, so here I am.", Bulma grinned.
"Ah, good. I wasn't sure you'd make it. It's been way too long, huh?", Roshi grinned.
"I miss this place. Hasn't changed a bit.", Bulma grinned.
"Well, don't be such a stranger. You don't always have to wait for an invitation, you know.", Roshi assured before drinking from his cup with Bulma then presenting gifts for him and the others.
"Here. I brought you some goodies.", Bulma grinned.
"Oh, that's sweet. But you didn't have to go to all that trouble. I mean you could just give me a sample of those other goodies.", Roshi spoke, preparing to do some groping, only for Bulma to whack him in the head with the box to restrain him from doing so.

"I se you still can't take a joke!", Roshi commented,
"And I see you're still a dirty, old creep!", Bulma retorted.
"Oh, yeah, that reminds me. Where's Yamcha? Thought he'd be with you.", Krillin asked.
"Yamcha, that jerk? How should I know?! He can be out chasing every girl in the city for all I care! I'm done with him! I didn't even tell him we were getting together today! But who needs that guy, right? We can still have fun without him.", Bulma responded.
"Guess nothing's changed with those two, either.", Roshi commented.
"Nope. Guess not.", Krillin agreed.
"Anyway, why isn't Launch here?", Bulma asked.
"I'm in the kitchen!", Launch shouted from the kitchen before Bulma then walked in and saw her.
"Oh, hey, Launch, how are you doing?", Bulma greeted.
"Oh, I'm doing wonderful.", Launch grinned.
"Yeah, at first, she went looking for Tien, but for some reason, she came back and has been staying with us ever since.", Krillin explained as he put the box on the couch and opened it up to show an assortment of 12 dumplings inside and prepared to eat the first two.

Meanwhile, Raditz was closing in on the location as his scouter was showing the way for him.
"Very good. This power level is moving fast.", Raditz thought.
Back at Roshi's place, Goku, Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Chiyo finally arrived at Master Roshi's house.
"Hey, look, we're here! Master Roshi's house!", Goku spoke.
"That's the place, all right.", Chi-chi agreed before both husband and wife hopped off with Gohan and Chiyo holding on to him and Ch-Chi.
"Hello!", Goku greeted before Bulma turned around as Krillin practically started choking in surprise.
"I-Is that…?!", Krillin exclaimed in muffles before Bulma opened the door.
"Goku!", Bulma grinned.
"Hey!", Krillin spoke in surprise as he popped out as well.
"Hi.", Goku greeted.
"Nice to see you guys. It's been so long.", Chi-Chi grinned.
"So, who're the kids?", Bulma asked.
"Yeah, what gives? Are you babysitting them for somebody?", Krillin asked.
"They're our children.", Goku replied.
"YOURS, Goku?!", Roshi exclaimed in surprise as Krillin and Bulma got just as surprised as well.
"Yep. That's right. Crazy, huh?", Goku responded before he and Chi-Chi set Gohan and Chiyo down.
"Come on, you two, say hi.", Chi-Chi ushered gently before Gohan and Chiyo both bowed.
"Hello.", the two kids greeted.
"Right. Hello.", Bulma greeted with a bow.
"Good to meet ya.", Krillin greeted as well.
"Hello, to you, little tykes.", Roshi greeted as well.
"Their names are Gohan and Chiyo.", Goku stated as they looked at Turtle in wonder.

"Gohan and Chiyo, eh? I see. So, you named one of them after your dear old grandpa, did you?", Roshi asked.
"Uh-huh.", Goku responded.
"I have to admit, this is some surprise. I honestly didn't think you had it in you, Goku.", Roshi spoke as Turtle went a bit close to Gohan and Chiyo.
"Chiyo was named after my Mom.", Chi-Chi stated.
"They're so cute! So, how old are you two?", Bulma asked before both Gohan and Chiyo checked their fingers for the age.
"Uh, one…, two…, we're four, miss.", Gohan responded.
"And I'm just 15 minutes older than him.", Chiyo added.
"Wow, aren't you two the little gentlemen. Sure they're yours?", Bulma asked.
"Well, they get that from Chi-chi.", Goku replied.
"So, tell us some more about yourselves, you two. What do you want to be when you grow up?", Bulma asked.
"I'm gonna be a great scholar.", Gohan responded, stunting Bulma.
"Oh! Y-You don't say…", Bulma spoke in surprise.
"For me, I don't really know yet.", Chiyo added.
Then, Turtle went a bit closer to Gohan and Chiyo, surprising them a bit just as Bulma noticed a tail not just from Gohan, but also from Chiyo.
"Tails?!", Bulma asked in surprise.
"Uh-huh. Just like I used to have, remember?", Goku responded.
"Oh, yeah, that's right.", Krillin remembered as Gohan and Chiyo carefully placed their hands on Turtle and then smiled.
"So, uh, Goku, have you noticed anything, I don't know, strange about your kids?", Bulma asked.
"What do you mean?", Bulma asked.
"For example, do they start acting different when they see the full moon or anything?", Roshi asked worriedly.
"See a full moon? No. But we go to bed pretty early.", Goku responded before Bulma and Roshi sighed in relief.
"Why'd you ask?", Goku asked before Bulma and Roshi exclaimed in worry as Gohan and Chiyo rode on top of Turtle's back.
"Uh! Never mind, never mind! It's nothing, it's nothing.", Roshi assured.
"What does happen every time they see the full moon, anyway?", Chi-Chi puzzled.
"Ah, never mind, Chi-Chi. It was probably something that my Mom and Dad said about it being a family secret, anyway. Don't know what that's about exactly.", Goku guessed.
"They sure take after you in the looks department, Goku. So, are they strong like you, too?", Krillin asked as Gohan and Chiyo were walking to the water, only for a small wave to creep up, taking Gohan aback as Chiyo felt a cold sensation in her feet and shivered in exhilaration.
"Well, uh…, it's hard to say, it seems like it sometimes. But I can't exactly give 'em any martial arts training to find out for sure, at least not all the time. Chi-chi does let me train them from time to time, but still.", Goku replied as Gohan saw a crab on top of turtle, waving at him.
"Yeah, that's true.", Chi-Chi agreed.
"Aaaaand, go! 1, 2, 3, go! 1, 2, 3, go! One more. 1, 2, 3, go! Ha, I win!", Gohan grinned before the crab got angry and spewed out bubbles from his mouth at Gohan, puzzling him, while making Chiyo giggle in joy as the conversation continued.
"Don't really see how problematic that is if you ask me.", Krillin responded.
"I know, right?", Chi-Chi agreed.
"Well, it's cool that she's letting them train from time to time, but other times, Chi-Chi won't budge. She says the world's been at peace for so long, now, there's no reason to teach him how to fight, well, at least not yet. She says they got to focus on balancing between fighting and training with studying and school. Not that it's too much of a problem, so far, though. I was just saying, that's all.", Goku agreed.
"So, that little firecracker wife of yours turned out to be a real part-time schoolmarm, too, did she?", Roshi chuckled.
"Hey.", Chi-Chi exclaimed a bit in slight offense, mixed with joy.
"Daddy!", Gohan and Chiyo shouted before they laughed while running over to Goku.

"Oh… I can't believe I didn't notice this on Gohan's hat. Is that a dragon ball?", Bulma asked.
"Yep. It's the four-star ball. It was my grandpa's most-prized possession. I put it on there to remember him by.", Goku replied as Gohan and Chiyo took a look at it on Gohan's hat.
"He also found the three-star and the six-star balls when Goku was looking for that one. He keeps them back at home.", Chi-Chi added.
"Now, that takes me back. We had some crazy time searching for those things, didn't we?", Bulma sighed before Goku chuckled with a warm grin.
However, that grin soon turned into a serious look of unease, puzzling Gohan and Chiyo.
"What's that?", Goku asked.
"What's wrong?", Roshi asked.
"Yeah, Goku, what is it?", Chi-Chi asked.
"I…I don't know. Something's coming this way.", Goku responded with Bulma getting worried as well before looking around only to notice nothing but ocean waters.
"Uh, you sure about that?", Krillin asked.
"I don't know.", Bulma added before Goku sensed it getting closer.
"This power… I've never sensed anything like it.", Goku thought before eventually noticing the source, Raditz, heading this way.

"There. Here it comes.", Goku spoke as the crab then fell off turtle.
"What the…?! Who…who is that?!", Krillin exclaimed before Raditz grew closer and closer as Goku tensed uneasily.
"This is trouble. I can feel it.", Roshi thought before Raditz landed on the ground, putting everyone in uneasiness.
"So, we finally meet. You're all grown up. But I could tell it was you in a glance, Kakarot.", Raditz smirked.
"Kaka…what?", Goku puzzled in surprise.
"My, how you look like our father.", Raditz smirked.
"Huh?", Goku puzzled, baffled by the fact that he somehiw knew his parents, much less turn out to be related.
"What does that mean?", Bulma puzzled.
"Wait, hold on a sec. You know this guy?", Krillin asked.
"No. I don't think so. I think it might be the other way around. Don't know any other details yet, though.", Goku guessed.
"Kakarot, just what have you been doing here all these years? Your mission was to terminate every native life form on this planet. So, why haven't you carried it out?", Raditz asked, making Goku tense a bit before Krillin spoke up.
"Now, look, you. I don't know who you are, but I think we've heard just about enough. Time to leave. Shoo. Go. Or… since you don't seem to be good at taking a hint, maybe we need to point you in the right direction.", Krillin suggested as Raditz's scouter scanned Krillin's power level before his tail started glowing, giving Goku a realization as to what it means.
"Krillin, get back!", Goku warned before Krillin was suddenly smacked in the cheek by Raditz's tail, sending him crashing toward the house.
"Krillin!", Goku shouted in worry before Krillin stammered and twitche din pain before Goku turned to Raditz angrily.
"You…!", Goku growled before gasping upon noticing that Raditz had a tail, shocking Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Roshi as well.
