V: Alright, next chapter. Also, someone asked me what was one of the main reason I did this story. Well, here's the answer. Because I want Jake and his friends to see what the real world is like. Not everything is about good, evil, friendship and all that. Plus, in DBZ, humans refuse to believe aliens and stuff are normal. They've been seeing them for over sixty years and if I had to guess, they're probably the weakest race in the universe. Anyway, let's get into this. By the way, I found out Goku means sky or emptiness.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I'm not going to repeat it again because we all get it. No one will ever own these shows.

Chapter 34: The Rise Of Never Land

Four months had finally passed, meaning the Dragon Balls would be able to be used again. Jake, Izzy, Goku and Vegeta had gotten stronger, certainly. Goten had his fun with Cubby while his counterpart seemed to be doing his own thing usually. Lizzy and Izzy still competed for helping Gohan's family most, while Jake and Blake still hated each other, but didn't usually ignore each other a lot.

Bulma had gotten used to taking care of Jake's friends, but sometimes, they were a bit clueless to some things and Bulma would get angry about it. For example, Trunks and Goten were sparring in the gravity chamber, and Sharky and Bones were stupid enough to step in as they were getting crushed by the insane gravity level. Trunks wasn't pleased with the two idiots ruining his spar with his lifelong friend as he kicked them out with brute force.

Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta got back from Whis two months before the Dragon Balls we're going to be of use again. Vegeta was sometimes utterly annoyed by everyone, especially the mermaids when they sometimes splashed water on Vegeta. He would only growl and mutter something about a Galick Gun each time he walked away.

Another thing that was extremely annoying was Hook's crew always singing songs. Vegeta's answer to that, threading then by shooting a ball of energy right next to them, and that seemed to do the trick. Jake wasn't really comfortable with the idea of his teacher, as that was how he saw him, threatening his friends, but there was no use arguing with Prince Vegeta.

Then, there was also Tinker Bell, and that annoyed Vegeta to the limit. She would always ring her bells in his ears while he's sleeping, in the middle of something and all that. One day, he finally lost his patience as after he was in the shower, Tink was there peeking like the mischievous being she was. After he had gotten out and put his blue shirt back on, he had only realized. Tink had already flown away out of the city and into the countryside, near where Goku and Chi-Chi reside. Vegeta has turned Super Saiyan Blue as he tried to blast that annoying pest into oblivion, with Jake chasing after him begging him to stop.

Beerus and Whis didn't really visit often as they were out in the universe attending to some other business in other planets, and the Darlings only visited once as Goku had used his Instant Transmission, since West City was extremely far away from London. Sure, they were really upset about Peter being dead and all of that, but once they heard about the Dragon Balls, it seemed all hope wasn't lost. Overall, it was a normal four months.

Now, the time has finally come as the seven Dragon Balls were gathered in front of them, and Goku rose his hands to the sky.

"Eternal dragon Shenron, I summon you forth!" Goku bellowed as the Dragon Balls glowed with a bright color.

The sky was now cloudy as lighting struck down from the sky, as everyone was a bit scared. Bulma, Vegeta and Goku watched as if this was a normal thing, which it was to them. But outside of Capsule Corp, everyone was extremely confused, as they saw a gigantic orange glow come straight from the ground, and form into a humongous green dragon that roared loudly.

Luckily, Krillin was sent to take care of it, as he got out a huge megaphone and spoke through.

"Everyone, there is nothing to fear. It's just one of Doctor Brief's experiments. You may continue on with your day!" And everyone did just that. Doctor Brief has made some crazy things so they should have expected that, as Krillin looked above and knew what was happening.

"Looks like those kids are getting their home back."

"You have disturbed my slumber. Now, as written, I shall grant you any wish you please. Now, speak you wish," Shenron boomed. The people of Never Land were in awe as they have never seen something so humongous as Goku walked up bravely, and spoke.

(OST Ends)

"Yo, Shenron, my wish is for everyone Frieza killed in Never Land to be brought back to life!" Goku asked.

"That is a simple wish to grant." Shenron's eyes then glowed red as multiple people appeared right in front of them.

Skully, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, ShiverJack, The Grim Buccaneer, Dr. Undergear, Sneaky La Beak and some others.

"PETER, SKULLY!" Jake and his crew exclaimed as they ran towards them and hugged them tightly.

"Hey, guys. Long time no see," Peter said, ruffling the children's hair. Everyone watched and were happy for the three as Vegeta only huffed and looked away from the scene as he did not care for such kinds of communication.

"Wha? What happened?" Captain Hook asked himself as he looked around and saw the humongous dragon above him.

"WHAT IN NEVER LAND IS THAT!" He exclaimed, as everyone else that was revived along with him looked above in shock.

"Our with it! I don't have all day, speak your final wish now," Shenron boomed once more with impatience.

"You know you can wait, right?" A voice said as Shenron was suddenly panicking as he looked around.

"Wait, Lord Beerus? Where is he?!" Goku and the others weren't surprised at this time, but everyone else was completely oblivious. Goku looked to hit right and saw him sitting in a chair eating some ice cream with whipped cream and fudge.

"Hey," Beerus said without a care.

"Oh, uhh, it's a pleasure to see you again here, Lord Beerus. How are you this fine day? I can tell you have been coming to this planet very frequently now, and I am surprised you have not destroyed this planet, as it is your job as a God of Destruction. Now that I want you too or anything," Shenron said.

"Yeah, well first of all, I couldn't care less, second, this planet has so many delicious delicacies why would I want to destroy it? Now are you going to grant the Saiyan's wish or what? I only came because I expect to for there to be some event for saving the world again."

"Y-yes, sorry sir. Now, please speak your wish," Shenron asked Goku turning back to him.

Goku spoke once more as he asked for the long awaited wish everyone had waited.

(DBZ Kai Friends Or Rivals OST Begins)

"Shenron, I would like you to restore Never Land back to the way it was before Frieza showed up!"

"It shall be done," Shenron boomed as his eyes glowed red and far away, a certain star had reappeared, and inside, every single thing had started to restore from before the fire. Pirate Island was back, the Jolly Roger was once again sailing, with no one on it at the moment, Butterfly Bluff was once again flourishing, Pirate Putt-Putt Course was back in business, Big Bug Valley was flourishing as well, as the golden butterfly was soaring high once again, Pirate's Plunge had it's water running back again, Mermaid Lagoon was back as well, and most of the mermaids were back, as they cheered and jumped in the water all around, and the penguins were back in their nice, snowy home. Even Skybird Island was back, and Princess Winger and the rest of the parrots were back, flying about the island.

Never Land was back to the way it was before.

(OST Ends)

Lots of things had happened in the past four months. Now, normality in Never Land, with the exception of Goten and Trunks, was returned. Jake and his friends continued on their adventures, along with the two mischievous Saiyans, going on treasure hunts, solving problems, but Goten and Trunks decided not to get involved in them, since they could already just float, or walk their way across a problem. Eventually, Bulma and everyone else had left, and Goten was once again, left to do studying since Chi-Chi wanted him to be just like his successful big brother Gohan.

Goku had already introduced Jake and his friends to everyone they hadn't met, the crew had met Yamcha and they seemed to be very fond of Puar. He played a lot of games with them, but Izzy decided to stay out, and Jake didn't question. Later, they visited Master Roshi and he was still the same pervert he was. When he got close to Izzy, she smacked him hard and Jake chuckled. Of course, Roshi had expected this to happen. Later on they met Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu. Like Puar, they had some fun with Chiaotzu's telekinesis.

Later on, they met Gohan's family. Videl had given them a nice greeting and showed them Pan and were surprised that she had the same name as one of their best friends, and they had a lot of fun with her. Goten really liked how Jake was handling his niece. Izzy didn't play that much with Pan as she saw how the others were enjoying it.

Their next stop was Vegeta's where they met Bulla, Trunks' baby sister. Of course, like Pan, they handled her well and played some games with her and Izzy really enjoyed herself. Their final stop was Krillin's place. They were already aquatinted with him and Android 18, but not with their daughter Marron, and of course, they enjoyed her as well.

Meanwhile, today was the day of the Never Land Pirate Ball, hosted by Red Jessica, who at this moment was standing tall and strong; her hands on her hips. Captain Hook gazed into her eyes. His heart fluttered at the pure sight of her. Her frizzy, red hair and rose-ornamented hat framed her warm smile. Her freckles helped retain an aura of youth. There were so many things that he liked about her he didn't know where they began and where they ended.

Hook bowed courteously, swiping his hat from off his head and crossing it over his shoulder. "Greetings, Red Jessica. My, you look so beautiful tonight."

Behind his back, in his only hand, he held a rose. The petals were more vibrant than any flower he had ever seen. The colour was rich and intense. Never before had Hook laid eyes upon a rose so wild and distinguished. If Red Jessica were a flower, that would be it.

"I found this rose and it instantly reminded me of you," Hook presented the flower before her. Jessica's smiled didn't falter, but then again, it didn't heighten either. Her eyes remained unblinking and unwavering.

"Getting some last-minute practice in, Cap'n?"

Someone spoke, but it wasn't her. Hook's fantasy came crashing down in a thousand tiny pieces. He glanced over his shoulder to find Mr. Smee glancing over his, all while steering the ship.

"Don't interrupt me, Mr. Smee," Captain Hook jolted upright. His arms went limp and dropped to his sides. The rose stem and hat feather angled down, drawn by gravity. "And watch where you're going."

Mr. Smee reverted his eyes back to the wavy road. "I'm awfully sorry, Cap'n."

Captain Hook sighed. His hat found its way back where it belonged. "Oh, I can't be mad this time, I'm in too much of a good mood."

He gazed back at Red Jessica, her portrait remained just like it had been five seconds ago. Hook had been so encapsulated that he failed to remember that it wasn't her hair or hat that framed her face, but the sticky tape that held it in place.

Captain Hook peered over the steering wheel and spotted Crimson Island. How lucky Red Jessica had been to make her home on an island like that. Countless shrubs of roses in every colour of the rainbow and beyond. Crimson Castle stood high in the centre, between a trio of large hills like the diamond on a ring.

The Jolly Roger sailed into the dock. To the captain's great surprise he found every other pirate ship docked and empty: the Golden Ship, The Barracuda, Bucky, The Rose – of course, and other ships that belonged to other people. The Jolly Roger dropped the anchor at an empty spot.

"How is everyone else here before me?" Hook demanded to know.

"Me thinks they got here fashionably early," Sharky said while he and Bones were dropping the walkway.

"Well, I'm going to arrive fashionably on time," Hook said while he stepped off the ship, not even waiting for the ramp to be fully extended. Fortunately for him, he stepped safely onto the dock.

Captain Hook strolled up to the castle, moving faster than his crew. They passed the woods, crossed over the bridge, and took the right path until they reached the doors. A picture of a red rose stood above the arch like a shining beacon of hope for the captain.

Hook brushed down his coat, fixed his hat and straightened his moustache. He wanted to look one-hundred-percent before meeting the girl of his dreams, the only person in Never Land who could put up with a scurvy pirate like himself.

He turned to his crew. "How do I look? Do I look sharp? Is there something on my back?" He showed them the back of his coat. "Is my feather on straight?" He took off his hat and checked.

Mr. Smee stepped forward and took his captain's hat. "Cap'n, sir, you always look sharp," He said while placing the hat back on Hook's bonce and setting it straight. "Don't worry yourself."

"Aye, Cap'n," Bones added, smiling. "You got this, Casanever."

Sharky looked at Bones, quizzically. "Actually, I believe its Casanada." He tried to correct.

"Naw, I'm sure it be Casanever."

"Quit jabbering, you two. Let's just get inside," Hook ordered in a tone softer than his usual self. He straightened himself out and stood toe-to-toe with the entrance. He was about to knock when he stopped himself. "What's a Casanever-nada-whatever any…? Oh, forget it."

Before he knocked on the door, he saw a certain Namekian warrior, floating across him, meditating. "Uhh, what are you doing here?" Captain Hook asked.

"It's none of your business."

"Umm, sir? Me thinks you aren't looking too well," Sharky said, walking up to the caped warrior, with Bones next to him. "Yeah, you're green."

Piccolo widened his eyes as he yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING ABOUT ME BEING GREEN!? I'M SUPPOSED TO LOOK THIS WAY!" After that sudden outburst, the two decided now was a good time to get back to their captain.

Once Captain Hook and his crew were done with the useless bickering, he knocked on the wood with his hook, completely ignoring the twin, brass doorknockers. The door cracked open and he found himself staring into the face of the woman on the portrait. A white kitten lay snug on her left arm.

"James Hook," Red Jessica greeted with a smile. "You're right on time."

Hook bowed, making full use of all the time spent before the two-dimensional painting. Hundreds of practice runs and countless hours of rehearsal were now being put to the test.

"Greetings, Red Jessica. My, you look so beautiful tonight," Hook had rehearsed those words countless times. His dialect was fine-tuned; he had been restless until he got every single word spoken in the best way. It wasn't about just saying those words, but saying them right, correctly. The rolling of the 'r' in 'greetings'. The pause after saying 'my'. The slight elongation in 'so'. Each tiny piece of emphasis placed on each syllable had to be perfect. He presented her the rose, swaying his hand like he did a thousand times over. "I found this rose and it instantly reminded me of you."

Red Jessica took the rose. "Oh, James. You shouldn't have…"

Captain Hook let out a chuckle that was more aimed at himself. He actually shouldn't have: he would have gotten more sleep that way.

Jessica opened the door fully, revealing a short, white-haired woman: First Mate Molly. Nobody was more excited to see her more than Mr. Smee.

"Ahoy, Miss Molly," Mr. Smee, with the biggest smile on his face, greeted her.

Molly shook his hand. "Ahoy to you too," She leaned in closer and widened her grin. "Brave buccaneer."

Ah, yes. The two of them remembered that day all too well. Mr. Smee and First Mate Molly met during the pirate convention under very different terms. Mr. Smee was not Mr. Smee, but rather the mysterious and daring Buck Buccaneer. Neither of them had forgotten that day.

"Please, come in," Red Jessica ushered them inside and shut the door behind them. "You lot been up to anything exciting?"

"Oh, the usual," Captain Hook said. He brought his hands before him like he was holding a picture, viewing an imaginary scene. "Treasure hunts. Wild adventures. Sailing fast and strong on the Never Seas."

"Terrific, terrific. I'll be sure to…" Her words were cut off when another set of tapping, this time from the doorknocker, rattled from beyond the door. "Looks like we got some more company." She waved down the hall. "Just head on down to the ballroom; everyone's waiting."

Captain Hook continued down the hall while Red Jessica went back to tend to the visitor. He could hear the thick timbers churn followed by her memorable voice.

"Ah, ahoy, boys!"

Hook turned around, and froze as his muscles stiffened his heart threatened to fail on him. He stood his ground, refusing to turn around. He begged, he begged to whatever mystical forces out there that she didn't say what she just said. That the person at the door was not who he thought he heard. Working up the strength he keep the acid inside his belly, he took small steps until he faced the opposite direction. Standing at the entrance were the faces of a few particular men who he didn't want to see.

"Hey!" Goku greeted just as cheerfully as ever. "Chi-Chi and Bulma did really good with helping you!" The two Saiyan's wives actually helped out with Red Jessica with setting up the party, and especially the food. Since Goku and Vegeta were attending, they cooked up lots of food. Behind them, were some friends, including Lord Beerus and Whis, as they only came for the festivities and food.

"Look, woman. While we appreciate what you're doing, we do not want to be known as celebrities here, just for saving your home," Vegeta added on, not wanting any attention at all. "It appears we are a few seconds late, I presume?"

"Don't you fret, young man," First Mate Molly found herself, like everyone else, slanting her head back to simply meet his eyes. "You've arrived just in time."

"You?!" Captain Hook stormed over to them like a bull in a china shop. "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

"I invited them, of course." Red Jessica answered while opening the door fully. She turned back to Goku. "Come on in, lads. Everyone's waiting."

The Z-Fighters stepped through the threshold. They moved in a tight, arrowhead formation with Goku forming the tip, with Vegeta and Gohan flanking his left, and Lord Beerus and Whis on the right. They shared their bare greetings to the Jolly Roger crew. Vegeta however, glared hard at the red headed captain, as he didn't appreciate him at all.

"Red Jessica?" Hook whispered while taking Jessica by the arm and leading her towards the corner. "I need to talk to you in private for a minute…"

Jessica looked over her shoulder and called out to the recent arrivals. "Just head on over to the ballroom. Everything's all set there."

When they reached the corner, out of earshot from anyone, Hook took her by the shoulders and stared into her eyes.

"Why did you invite them?" Hook demanded as if he were interrogating a murder suspect.

Truth was, Hook didn't like Goku and Vegeta. He always thought they were nothing but freaks, and were plenty of trouble, even though they did bring back Never Land from the ashes, and with their sons around, it was even more harder for him to take their things and hide since the kids could sense out where they were.

"They're the ones who brought back Never Land. I wasn't not going to invite them," She explained while brushing his grip off.

"But I don't like them," The cranky crook complained, sounding like a five year old who can't play fair on the schoolyard. "They're nothing but annoying. I just know it. They're brats are with those puny pirates, and they always find me because of them."

"Oh, James, relax a little," Red Jessica comforted him, her enthusiastic outlook unfaltering. "You may have gotten off to a rocky start, but they're nice folks."

It was her turn to take him by the arm. Jessica led Hook down the hall towards the ballroom. "How's about we get this party started?"

"I suppose so," Hook then entered the ball room, but Red Jessica went outside as she saw Piccolo meditating outside, floating a few feet above the ground.

"Are you sure you don't want to join the festivities?" She asked the Namekian.

Piccolo opened his eyes as he looked at the lady in red. "As much as I thank you for the invitation, I'm going to have to decline. I'm a warrior, I don't use my time to indulge in... parties."

"Come on, Piccolo, you'll enjoy it!" Krillin and Android 18 were just arriving, along with their daughter Marron, and Android 17.

"I'm not going, there are multiple reasons as to why I prefer to stay away from these people."

"Suit yourself," Android 17 said as he walked in with his family. Technically they were family since 17 is 18's twin brother.

"I must say, this place definitely had lots of unique creatures like the ones at the island I protect," 17 said.

"Huh, shocker," 18 replied not caring at all, but happy for her brother still. Marron was really excited as she was jumping up and down holding her father's hand. Like Gohan, Krillin had read a story to her about her to get her to sleep, and now that they were actually going was a shocker to her.

This was going to be a nice party.

V: So, the main story is over and this is basically just filler for the end of the story. Yep, after six to seven months in the making, we are almost done. So, hope you enjoyed and I'll see y'all next chapter. Peace.
