Welcome to Earth: Saga 1-Goku's Decision
* * * *
Goku bolted upright in bed. 'Not again,' he thought 'I've been having this nightmare for weeks, and I just don't understand it.' He slowly climbed out of bed, so as not to wake his sleeping wife, ChiChi, and slipped his clothes on, heading for the roof of their small house to think.
He flew to the roof landing quietly. He thought back over the dream. It consisted of what looked like an army of men flying through the streets of a war-ridden city, then the men would join another, larger group of what seemed like thousands of soldiers. One man looked as though he was leading this smaller group and he would start speaking to the men in some familiar, but unknown language. What Goku couldn't understand, was that the man looked exactly like him, yet somehow harder and rougher than him. The man was handed a piece of paper, which he read over quickly, and when he was done reading it, Goku could almost see a faint smile on his face. The boy tapped on the man's shoulder and said something to him to which the man nodded. He then flew off to another group of men. All of a sudden, a shout was heard in the background and all of the warriors started to rush what looked like Frieza's ship. They stopped all of a sudden--all except for the one man who powered up a blast and threw it towards the ship then it showed...Frieza, he would also power up a blast--similar to the one that destroyed Namek's core, yet more powerful--and threw it at the entire army of men and the planet behind them. Then the dream would flash back to the one man and after the beam hit him it would flash to a scene of Goku beating Frieza on Namek--after which the man would beam proudly and say, "Mi hijo en vivir!" This was the part that confused him the most.
He had memorized that last phrase after the first few nights, and, somewhat reluctantly, had gone to Vegita to ask him what it meant since he was probably the only one that knew any inter-planetary languages (besides Dende and Bulma who knew Namekian). He recalled the little encounter with Vegita...
"What do you want this time, Kakarott?" Vegita asked him.
"I was wondering if you knew what the phrase, 'Mi hijo en vivir' means?" Goku had questioned.
"When did you get the chance to learn any of the Saiyan language?" Vegita had asked somewhat surprised.
Goku was also surprised, because he had no idea that the people in his dream were Saiyan. "It was in a dream I've been having for a while," Goku explained.
"Interesting," Vegita smirked, "because it means, 'My son lives on.'"
"What?!" Goku was completely shocked. Because even though that explained the similarity between himself and the man, it still didn't explain the rest of the dream.
"I think you had better explain this dream to me Kakarott." Vegita had suggested.
"Okay, well you see..." and Goku related to the Saiyan Prince the entirety of the vision. When he was finished, he looked up to see Vegeta with a complete look of shock on his face. "Vegita...are you okay?" Goku asked him.
"I'm fine Kakarott, it's just that--the dream you had--was a complete version of the fight against Frieza on Vegita-sei so many years ago. That man you talked about--the one that looked exactly like you--was indeed your father, his name was Bardock--one of the toughest Saiyan Generals there were. And the scream..." he looked away, almost as if fighting back tears "the scream was my father--murdered by Frieza. After he had died, your father was the only one brave enough to stand up to Frieza, and he died trying to save his home..."
Goku was completely taken aback. How, after so many years of living on Earth, not knowing a thing about his home planet, had he been able to completely relive that last battle? Then he remembered the vision of himself destroying Frieza. "Vegita, what about the vision of me fighting Frieza?" he asked.
"The only explanation I have for you is this: your father had supposedly been cursed with the ability to see his future--I guess that the rumor was true. All I can say is that Bardock died a proud and happy warrior, knowing that his son lived to revenge those who had been brutally murdered by Frieza."
Goku had thanked Vegita and flown home, figuring that his problem was solved. But it was almost three weeks later, and he was still having the dream. He couldn't figure out what to do, which was why he was sitting on the roof of the small house that he and his wife, Chichi shared.
Gohan had moved out years ago, after he had gotten married to Videl, and they now had a daughter named Pan. Goten had moved out about four and a half years ago, after marrying his wife, Catarina. About ten months into their marriage, they'd had a son named Gotu (making him a little over three and a half years old). Goku loved his grandchildren so much.
Gotu looked somewhat like his father and grandfather, in that his black hair stood up in three curved spikes in the front, but it was short in the back. But, he had blue-green eyes, like his mother. Even though he was so young, he almost had the same power level that Goten had had at age seven. He trained with his father most of the time (under Catarina's supervision), pushing his little body to it's limits in tremendous amounts of gravity, always saying that he wanted to be as strong as his father, and grandpa were. In fact, there were even a couple of times, when Goten and Catarina had seen his eyes barely begin to flash green, and his hair to flash gold. Goku just hoped that he could be there when Gotu became a full-fledged Super Saiyan. This was one reason why Goku had begun overseeing Gotu's training. The other reason was so that he could try to get his mind off of the dream.
His thoughts were interrupted by a light tap on the roof behind him. He whirled around, realizing that he'd let his guard down, and he didn't recognize the power he was sensing. He turned to see a very frightened little boy with...golden hair! It was Gotu! He had finally managed to reach Super Saiyan!
"Grandpa? Why is my hair all yellow?" Gotu asked him. Goku realized that Gotu hadn't known that he himself could become a Super Saiyan as well, he had only seen his dad and grandpa do it before!
"It's okay, Gotu, you're just a Super Saiyan. Watch, I can do it too." And Goku powered up into a Super Saiyan. "See? It's nothing bad." Gotu had a confused look on his face.
"Grandpa, what's a...a Sa...Say..." Gotu looked at his grandpa for help. Goku face-faulted, Goten had never told Gotu about his heritage.
"Well, Gotu, a Saiyan is race of people from another planet called Vegeta-sei-"
"You mean that Jacion's grandpa is a planet?" Gotu questioned innocently.
"No, Jacion's grandpa was named after a planet. But, anyway, the Saiyans were a race of people that were all born with tails-like you." Gotu looked at his furry appendage and beamed with pride. He loved the fact that he could hang from trees and do other things with his tail.
"Grandpa, Jacion has a tail. Does that mean he is a Saiyan too?" Gotu queried.
"Yep. Now, back to the story. So, the Saiyans all had tails, and, they could turn into giant apes whenever they saw the full moon. They could also turn into a mystical warrior called a Super Saiyan-like us-once they reached a certain level. But, it was very hard to do, so after a while, the legend almost turned into a myth and the stories were made so that it sounded like a Super Saiyan would be the most powerful thing imaginable, even though it wasn't. That's really about all that I can think of to explain Saiyans to you. So what do you think?"
"Wow! That's cool Grandpa! I'm gonna tell Jacion right away." With that, Gotu jumped up into the air. Goku quickly teleported behind him and grabbed him by the back of his gi.
"Whoa! Hold it there Tiger. First of all, Jacion's grandpa probably already told him that story, and second, we need to get you back to bed."
"Awww. But Grandpa, do I have to?" Gotu pleaded, giving Goku the biggest puppy-dog eyes in the world.
"Yes Gotu. What would happen if your mom woke up a saw that you were missing? She'd probably be pretty worried about you, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
"Okay then, let's get back to bed," Goku said.
"Hey, Dad?" Goku heard Goten shout.
"Yeah Goten?"
"Have you seen Gotu?" Goten and family had been staying with Goku and Chichi for the week.
"Uh, yeah. He's with me," Goku told Goten, keeping the small boy hidden. He was hoping to surprise everyone else tomorrow with Gotu's newfound strength. He wanted to call everyone into a meeting anyway, because, after thinking for a while, he had decided to do something that might solve his problem. So he whispered to Gotu, "Gotu, power down out of Super Saiyan. Gotu? Gotu?!" He whirled around to see that Gotu was nowhere in sight. He quickly scanned the area with his senses, locating the boy in the trees below him. "Hang on Goten, I've got to go get your son. He flew off."
"Uh, okay." Goten replied, "Mind if I come with you?"
"No!" Goku shouted quickly.
"Fine. By the way, why are you a Super Saiyan right now?" Goten asked suspiciously.
"Uh...well...umm...we were just doing some light training.
"Okay." Goku flew down to the forest below him and scanned the trees. He noticed a glow in the corner of his eye. He phased over to it. What he saw made him smile-Gotu had fallen asleep in his Super Saiyan form. 'Oh well, there's no chance of waking him up now. Might as well let Goten know.'
"Hey Goten, come here!" Goku shouted, picking up his grandson, "I have something I want to show you." Goten flew to his father, and his eyes almost leaped from their sockets.
"H-he-he's a-a Super Saiyan! Since when Dad?!"
"I think just tonight-he came to me wondering what had happened to him. When I explained, he also asked me what a Saiyan was." Goku looked at his son expectantly.
"Uh, well, I was going to tell him really soon, Dad, honest! But Catarina said it'd probably be best if we told him when he was older and could understand it better. I'm sorry Dad." Goten turned his eyes down, too ashamed to look his full-blooded Saiyan father in the eye.
"It's okay Goten, I'm not mad. I was just wondering why he didn't know about his heritage, that's all. Now, why don't we get back to bed? I want to have a meeting tomorrow of everyone that we know. In fact, during the meeting, we can tell everyone about Gotu's achievement."
"Okay Dad. But what is the meeting about?"
"You'll see." Goku said, with a hint of mischief gleaming in his eyes. Gotu shifted the slightest bit in his grandfather's arms.
"Daddy..." he mumbled in his sleep.
"Here Goten, better get him back to bed too. Oh, and see if you can't get him to power down as well. No use freaking Catarina out-we'll show her tomorrow as well," Goku said, handing over his grandson. Goten stroked his little boy's cheek and whispered into his ear. After a few seconds, his hair color returned to normal. Then the Saiyans returned to their respectful bedrooms and fell fast asleep.
* * * *
"Daddy!" said a flying Gotu as he leaped onto his sleeping parents. "Wake up Daddy. Grandpa wants you."
"I'm up, I'm up!" Goten said sleepily. He looked over at his wife. "Cat, get up. Come on honey, before you miss any chance of eating breakfast." At that she sat straight up.
"I'm awake." After living with Saiyans for four and a half years, she knew better than to sleep in. Otherwise, by the time she got to the kitchen, there wouldn't be anything left to eat. Besides, she herself had quite a big appetite.
"Okay, you get dressed, I've gotta go see what my dad wants." He leaned over and they kissed, "I love you."
"I love you too," she said. They leaned in for another kiss, when Goten felt a tug on his arm. He looked down at his son.
"Come on, Daddy," Gotu pleaded.
"Okay, I'm coming. See you in a bit, Cat." The two walked out of the room, heading towards the field outside, where training usually occurred. When they got to where Goku was, Gotu let go of his father's hand and took a flying leap at his grandfather.
"Grandpa!" he yelled. Goku caught the flying boy, falling over as he did so.
"Hiya, Sport!" he said, giving Gotu a nugie.
"Um, Dad? You wanted to see me?" Goten asked.
"Yes," Goku said, standing up. "We need to start calling people for the meeting I was telling you about last night. There's something important that I want to tell everyone. Besides, don't you want to show everyone Gotu's new ability?"
"Oh, yeah!" Goten exclaimed excitedly. "Hey, Gotu, can you power up into a Super Saiyan again?" he asked, picking the small boy up in his arms.
"Yeah, Daddy!" He quickly powered up, causing Goten to turn his eyes from the burst of light.
"Good job! Now let's go show Mommy, Okay?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, let's go. Dad, I'll make the calls," Goten said, walking towards the house.
"Thanks!" Goku said to the receding form of his son.
* * * *
"Okay, see you in a bit," Goten said, just getting off of the phone with his best friend, Trunks. "That's the last of them," he said, looking over the list of people to call.
"Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!" Goten looked up towards the ceiling at his currently blonde-haired son and sighed-"How will Catarina take this?" he wondered. "Oh, well. There's only one way to find out."
"Hey, Cat!" he yelled to his wife.
"Yeah, Goten?" she called out from the kitchen.
"Could you come here and take care of your son? He's driving me insane!"
"Just a sec!" He heard the water shut off. Catarina walked in, drying her hands on a dishtowel, and saw only Goten but heard the zooming noises coming from her son. She looked all around the room, not finding him. Finally, she looked back at Goten. He had a smirk on his face and was pointing up. She looked in that direction and almost fainted at what she saw. "Goten...w-w-what is t-t-that!" she cried.
"Gotu, come here." The zooming noises stopped and the small boy flew down to where his father stood. Goten then proceeded to power up into a Super Saiyan as well. "Notice a similarity?" he asked his awestruck wife.
"My little boy is a-a-a Super Saiyan?"
"Yep. Gotu, go see Mommy." Gotu ran into his mother's outstretched arms and proceeded to give her a big hug. He then looked into her big eyes.
"Mommy? Why are you crying?" he asked in his three and a half-year-old innocence.
"Mommy's just very happy for you," she explained. "Goten, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Well, it just happened last night, and...well...I wasn't sure how you would take it," he said, looking down at the floor.
"Goten! Why shouldn't I be happy? Don't you remember how ecstatic I was when he learned how to fly?"
"Oh, yeah," he replied sheepishly.
"Well, now that that's cleared up...I'm gonna call Natalie and tell her!"
"Wait! You won't be able to get a hold of her anyway."
"Why not?" Catarina asked suspiciously.
"Because Dad had me call everyone over here for a meeting. They're already on their way over. We'll tell them then."
"Okay." She stood up, picking up Gotu in the process. She walked over to Goten and kissed him on the cheek, "Pew! You two need baths. Here, Goten," she said handing him Gotu, "have fun."
"Okay, okay! I'm going!"
* * * *
30 minutes later
* * * *
: DING-DONG!: Someone was at the door.
"I've got it!" yelled Gotu. He ran to the door (not in Super Saiyan form of course) and opened it. There stood Trunks, his wife, Natalie, and their two children, Jacion-age four, and Kira-age one. "Hello!" he greeted them.
Just then Goten walked up. "Hey everyone! Come on in!"
"Where's Catarina?" Natalie asked.
"She's in the kitchen, helping my mom prepare the food. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you went in and helped them."
"Okay. See ya Trunks."
Gotu and Jacion ran towards the room Gotu had been staying in.
"I guess I'm stuck with Kira." Trunks said, holding his one-year-old daughter. "Unless..."
Just then, the doorbell rang. Goten opened it up to reveal his older brother, Gohan, along with his wife and daughter, Videl and Pan.
"Hey, Goten! How's it going?" Gohan asked, giving his younger brother a hug.
"I'm great. Come on in. Bulma, Vegita and Bra should be here any time--"
: DING-DONG!: "--now." As he opened the door, a blue-haired blur rushed past him and stopped in front of Pan.
"Come on Pan, I brought some dolls to play with!" Bra exclaimed.
Gohan and Vegita looked at each other and sighed-they both wished that their daughters would take up some sort of training, instead of playing with dolls and other stuff like that. The two girls ran off to play in Gohan's old room.
"Hey, Goten, where's Dad?" Gohan asked.
"I'm right here," said a very serious voice from behind them. They all turned to see Goku with a serious expression on his face.
"Well, Kakarott? You called us all here for some important meeting," Vegita said impatiently, "what do you want?"
"I suggest that we all move into the living room-including the kids." Everyone got puzzled looks on their faces, but they all complied. Trunks and Goten went to get the kids, who had gone off to play in the two back bedrooms. Trunks went to get the boys, and Goten the girls.
All of a sudden, Goten heard Trunks shout, and ran to see what had happened. When he got there, Trunks was trying to revive his son, and Gotu-in full blown Super Saiyan form-was standing off to the side with his arms folded across his chest.
"Trunks?!" What happened?!"
"I don't know! I came in here and found them like this! By the way-since when has Gotu been able to go Super Saiyan?"
"Just since last night-but don't tell anyone just yet. I'm gonna show everyone at the meeting, Okay?"
"Fine, but for now, try to find out what happened here!"
"Okay." Goten crossed the room and knelt down in front of his son. "Gotu, what did you do to Jacion?"
Gotu's lip started to tremble, and he burst into tears. Goten embraced the small boy, trying to calm him down. "It's okay Gotu, just tell Daddy what happened."
"I'm sorry Daddy, it's just that...well...we were playing *sniff* and Jacion didn't like something I did-that's what he said-and *sniff* then he said he wouldn't play with...with...with a weak third class Saiyan. So then, I got mad at him, and I turned Super Saiyan, and...and...and..." at that, the small boy broke down again. "I'm sorry Daddy, I was just defending the family honor like Grandpa told me to do."
"It's okay Gotu, I'm not mad at you." He then looked over at Trunks, who had managed to awaken Jacion. "Sounds like your father's influence."
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'm gonna have a word with him later," Trunks said reassuringly. "And Jacion, if I ever hear you say that again, I'll give you a punishment you'll never forget-got that?"
"Yes, Daddy," Jacion said with a look of shock on his face, for he had never been disciplined for anything before, and was afraid of what might happen if he was.
"Good. Oh, and Goten, if you want that to be a surprise, you'd better get him to power down." Trunks said matter-of-factly.
"Right. Gotu, come on Sport, power down."
"Okay." Gotu said sniffling.
As soon as Gotu had powered down, Goten picked him up and walked out of the room, followed by Trunks and Jacion. On their way to the living room, they retrieved the two pre-teen girls.
Upon reaching it, they found everyone's eyes on them. Natalie was the first to talk.
"What on earth was all that commotion? And why does Jacion have a black eye, Trunks?!"
Trunks looked down at the purple-haired boy. He hadn't noticed the black eye before-what should he say? "Don't worry, just a little dispute-problem already taken care of," Trunks explained quickly.
Everyone calmed down a bit then and they all looked to Goku. Trunks took a seat next to Natalie, placing Jacion on her lap and taking Kira. Goten sat next to Catarina and handed her their teary-eyed son. Upon being placed in his mother's lap, Gotu cuddled close to her and wrapped his furry brown tail around her waist. The two girls each took a seat on the floor.
"Well, first of all," Goku started, "Goten has something that he would like to show all of you. Goten?"
"Okay. Come on, Gotu."
"I don't want to," the small boy mumbled. Goten looked at Catarina.
"Come on, sweetie," she coaxed, "do it for Mommy."
"Okay, Mommy," he agreed. He then proceeded to get up and walk to the middle of the room. Once he got there, he quickly powered up into a Super Saiyan. Everyone was shocked. He was so young, and yet, he was able to accomplish so great a task.
"Wow," Gohan said, awestruck, "he looks just like I did, when I first went Super Saiyan." Then there was an outburst from the other side of the room.
"That's impossible!" Vegita roared. "We've already proven, that, unless you are at least half Saiyan, it's impossible to become a Super Saiyan!"
Everyone remembered this and became confused. How would it be possible for a small boy who was only one-fourth Saiyan to accomplish this?
"Everyone, please calm down," Goku said, walking towards his grandson and picking up the now frightened boy. "I'm sure that there's a completely logical explanation for this. Bulma? After the meeting, could you do some sort of DNA check on Gotu?"
"Sure, I've already got samples of Saiyan, Human, Sidra-jin, and even Namekian DNA logged into my computer. We should be able to clear this up without any problems."
"Thanks Bulma. Now-on to the next line of business. I know that this might sound kinda spur-of-the moment, but...I need to go to Namek."
"What?!" everyone shouted simultaneously.
"I've been thinking about something lately, and I'd like to make a couple of wishes. And, please, understand, I know I've made the right desicion." he explained.
"But why Namek's Dragonballs?" Gohan wondered. "Can't you just use Earth's?"
"No, if I could, I wouldn't have even called this meeting together. But another thing-I'm not going alone. I want Vegita, Trunks, Gohan, and Goten to come with me." As Goku looked around the room, he saw everyone get confused looks on their faces. "I know that it might sound odd, but it involves all of you."
"And what about us mothers huh?" Natalie asked, "are we just supposed to watch our kids alone?"
"I'm sorry, Natalie, but it will only take two or three days at the most. Chichi? Would you be willing to help out?"
"Absolutely!"
"Thank you."
"Daddy?" Trunks looked down at Jacion. The small boy was practically a clone of his father.
"Yes, Jacion?"
"Can I come too?" Trunks glanced at Natalie.
"Absolutely not! He's four years old-there's no way I'm letting him go off to some distant planet!"
Jacion folded his arms across his chest and pouted. Kira giggled, her lavendar curls bouncing. Jacion just glared at her through his icy blue eyes.
"All I have left to say is, be here at noon tomorrow for those who are coming. Other than that, you're all free to leave." Goku finished.
"Well, if you want me to run those tests on Gotu, I suggest that we get going." Bulma added.
"Okay." Goten said, "That's fine by me, but Cat and I are coming along."
"Fine by me."
"I'll teleport all of you over to Capsule Corp. Come on, let's get going." Goku offered.
With Gotu in one arm, and Trunks, Vegita, Bulma, Natalie, Catarina, Goten, and Bra each placing a hand on him, Goku placed two fingers on his forehead, they were all transported to the Capsule Corp.
Bulma took Gotu out of Goku's arms and carried him down to the lab. Upon reaching it, she placed the boy on a table and retrieved a needle. She then rolled up Gotu's sleeve and stuck the needle in his arm. She retrieved
a small sample of blood. She put a couple of drops of it onto a slide, which she then put into the computer for it to analyze.
When she got the results, she cried out in surprise, bringing everyone running.
"What is it?" Goten asked, "Is something wrong?"
"No, not at all," Bulma replied, "the thing is, according to the computer analyzation...Gotu is three-fourths Saiyan!"
"Three-fourths?! But how is that possible, seeing as I'm only half Saiyan and Catarina here is..." Goten trailed off.
"What is it Goten?" Catarina asked.
"Bulma? Could you do another DNA check-on Catarina?"
"Sure, I guess so."
Bulma got the sample, put it into the computer, and waited for the analyzation results. They came out positive.
"You guys are never gonna believe this, but...Catarina is a pure-bred Saiyan!"
"No! That can't be true!" Vegita yelled.
"Whether you like it or not, Vegita, I'm a Saiyan according to the computer." Catarina yelled back, defending herself.
"But...but...well, look at her!" He did have a point. She had light brown hair and blue-green eyes-very uncharacteristic of a Saiyan.
"Well, what about the test? Are you saying that the computer was wrond?" Catarina asked.
"Hang on, let me look at it again." Bulma walked to the computer and punched a few keys. "Well, this is definitely Saiyan DNA, but there's one slight alteration here-explaining the hair and eyes. Vegita, are you sure
there aren't any possiblities of...different Saiyans?"
"Yes, otherwise, my father would have told..." he trailed off. "Actually, there is. My father once told me, that people spoke of some-as he put it-odd looking Saiyans that had begun popping up all across the planet. But he also told me that it was just a rumor. I guess he was wrong."
"Cat? Did your parents ever tell you anything about this?" Goten asked. Catarina looked down at the floor.
"They couldn't have, not the parents I knew anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"I was adopted. The people that adopted me said that the only information the orphanage had on me, was that I was found in some sort of a space pod."
"That makes sense. That's what the rest of the full-blooded Saiyans came to earth in." Bulma commented. "By the way, did they ever say anything about you being extremely wild?" she questioned.
"Yeah, but they said they heard a *THUD* come from my room one night, and that I had fallen out of bed. After that, I was as sweet as any other child."
"I guess that that would make sense." Vegita said. "But, from now on, you'll be training, just like the rest of us."
"What?!" Catarina yelled.
"I mean it, judging from the past, no one can tell when we could have another battle to fight, and it would be very useful to have as many Saiyans as possible to fight with."
"Fine. But you guys had better go easy on me at first-you have to realize that I've never trained before." she replied.
"It's alright with me, but your first training will come on Namek."
"What do you mean?" she asked suspiciously.
"I mean, that you're going with us to Namek-you might as well begin learning as soon as possible."
"Oh, really? Well, then, what do you expect me to do with my son, hmmm? You can't seriously expect me to dump him on Chichi or Videl!"
"So bring him with us. A little real training couldn't hurt him any either."
Goten and Catarina both glared at Vegita, but when Cat looked into Gotu's pleading eyes, she melted. "I guess it would be okay...but if you go anywhere near him, Vegita, you'll wish you had never been born!"
"Whatever. Now, I suggest that we all get some rest-we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

Welcome to Earth: Saga 1-Goku's Decision
* * * *
Goku bolted upright in bed. 'Not again,' he thought 'I've been having this nightmare for weeks, and I just don't understand it.' He slowly climbed out of bed, so as not to wake his sleeping wife, ChiChi, and slipped his clothes on, heading for the roof of their small house to think.
He flew to the roof landing quietly. He thought back over the dream. It consisted of what looked like an army of men flying through the streets of a war-ridden city, then the men would join another, larger group of what seemed like thousands of soldiers. One man looked as though he was leading this smaller group and he would start speaking to the men in some familiar, but unknown language. What Goku couldn't understand, was that the man looked exactly like him, yet somehow harder and rougher than him. The man was handed a piece of paper, which he read over quickly, and when he was done reading it, Goku could almost see a faint smile on his face. The boy tapped on the man's shoulder and said something to him to which the man nodded. He then flew off to another group of men. All of a sudden, a shout was heard in the background and all of the warriors started to rush what looked like Frieza's ship. They stopped all of a sudden--all except for the one man who powered up a blast and threw it towards the ship then it showed...Frieza, he would also power up a blast--similar to the one that destroyed Namek's core, yet more powerful--and threw it at the entire army of men and the planet behind them. Then the dream would flash back to the one man and after the beam hit him it would flash to a scene of Goku beating Frieza on Namek--after which the man would beam proudly and say, "Mi hijo en vivir!" This was the part that confused him the most.
He had memorized that last phrase after the first few nights, and, somewhat reluctantly, had gone to Vegita to ask him what it meant since he was probably the only one that knew any inter-planetary languages (besides Dende and Bulma who knew Namekian). He recalled the little encounter with Vegita...
"What do you want this time, Kakarott?" Vegita asked him.
"I was wondering if you knew what the phrase, 'Mi hijo en vivir' means?" Goku had questioned.
"When did you get the chance to learn any of the Saiyan language?" Vegita had asked somewhat surprised.
Goku was also surprised, because he had no idea that the people in his dream were Saiyan. "It was in a dream I've been having for a while," Goku explained.
"Interesting," Vegita smirked, "because it means, 'My son lives on.'"
"What?!" Goku was completely shocked. Because even though that explained the similarity between himself and the man, it still didn't explain the rest of the dream.
"I think you had better explain this dream to me Kakarott." Vegita had suggested.
"Okay, well you see..." and Goku related to the Saiyan Prince the entirety of the vision. When he was finished, he looked up to see Vegeta with a complete look of shock on his face. "Vegita...are you okay?" Goku asked him.
"I'm fine Kakarott, it's just that--the dream you had--was a complete version of the fight against Frieza on Vegita-sei so many years ago. That man you talked about--the one that looked exactly like you--was indeed your father, his name was Bardock--one of the toughest Saiyan Generals there were. And the scream..." he looked away, almost as if fighting back tears "the scream was my father--murdered by Frieza. After he had died, your father was the only one brave enough to stand up to Frieza, and he died trying to save his home..."
Goku was completely taken aback. How, after so many years of living on Earth, not knowing a thing about his home planet, had he been able to completely relive that last battle? Then he remembered the vision of himself destroying Frieza. "Vegita, what about the vision of me fighting Frieza?" he asked.
"The only explanation I have for you is this: your father had supposedly been cursed with the ability to see his future--I guess that the rumor was true. All I can say is that Bardock died a proud and happy warrior, knowing that his son lived to revenge those who had been brutally murdered by Frieza."
Goku had thanked Vegita and flown home, figuring that his problem was solved. But it was almost three weeks later, and he was still having the dream. He couldn't figure out what to do, which was why he was sitting on the roof of the small house that he and his wife, Chichi shared.
Gohan had moved out years ago, after he had gotten married to Videl, and they now had a daughter named Pan. Goten had moved out about four and a half years ago, after marrying his wife, Catarina. About ten months into their marriage, they'd had a son named Gotu (making him a little over three and a half years old). Goku loved his grandchildren so much.
Gotu looked somewhat like his father and grandfather, in that his black hair stood up in three curved spikes in the front, but it was short in the back. But, he had blue-green eyes, like his mother. Even though he was so young, he almost had the same power level that Goten had had at age seven. He trained with his father most of the time (under Catarina's supervision), pushing his little body to it's limits in tremendous amounts of gravity, always saying that he wanted to be as strong as his father, and grandpa were. In fact, there were even a couple of times, when Goten and Catarina had seen his eyes barely begin to flash green, and his hair to flash gold. Goku just hoped that he could be there when Gotu became a full-fledged Super Saiyan. This was one reason why Goku had begun overseeing Gotu's training. The other reason was so that he could try to get his mind off of the dream.
His thoughts were interrupted by a light tap on the roof behind him. He whirled around, realizing that he'd let his guard down, and he didn't recognize the power he was sensing. He turned to see a very frightened little boy with...golden hair! It was Gotu! He had finally managed to reach Super Saiyan!
"Grandpa? Why is my hair all yellow?" Gotu asked him. Goku realized that Gotu hadn't known that he himself could become a Super Saiyan as well, he had only seen his dad and grandpa do it before!
"It's okay, Gotu, you're just a Super Saiyan. Watch, I can do it too." And Goku powered up into a Super Saiyan. "See? It's nothing bad." Gotu had a confused look on his face.
"Grandpa, what's a...a Sa...Say..." Gotu looked at his grandpa for help. Goku face-faulted, Goten had never told Gotu about his heritage.
"Well, Gotu, a Saiyan is race of people from another planet called Vegeta-sei-"
"You mean that Jacion's grandpa is a planet?" Gotu questioned innocently.
"No, Jacion's grandpa was named after a planet. But, anyway, the Saiyans were a race of people that were all born with tails-like you." Gotu looked at his furry appendage and beamed with pride. He loved the fact that he could hang from trees and do other things with his tail.
"Grandpa, Jacion has a tail. Does that mean he is a Saiyan too?" Gotu queried.
"Yep. Now, back to the story. So, the Saiyans all had tails, and, they could turn into giant apes whenever they saw the full moon. They could also turn into a mystical warrior called a Super Saiyan-like us-once they reached a certain level. But, it was very hard to do, so after a while, the legend almost turned into a myth and the stories were made so that it sounded like a Super Saiyan would be the most powerful thing imaginable, even though it wasn't. That's really about all that I can think of to explain Saiyans to you. So what do you think?"
"Wow! That's cool Grandpa! I'm gonna tell Jacion right away." With that, Gotu jumped up into the air. Goku quickly teleported behind him and grabbed him by the back of his gi.
"Whoa! Hold it there Tiger. First of all, Jacion's grandpa probably already told him that story, and second, we need to get you back to bed."
"Awww. But Grandpa, do I have to?" Gotu pleaded, giving Goku the biggest puppy-dog eyes in the world.
"Yes Gotu. What would happen if your mom woke up a saw that you were missing? She'd probably be pretty worried about you, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
"Okay then, let's get back to bed," Goku said.
"Hey, Dad?" Goku heard Goten shout.
"Yeah Goten?"
"Have you seen Gotu?" Goten and family had been staying with Goku and Chichi for the week.
"Uh, yeah. He's with me," Goku told Goten, keeping the small boy hidden. He was hoping to surprise everyone else tomorrow with Gotu's newfound strength. He wanted to call everyone into a meeting anyway, because, after thinking for a while, he had decided to do something that might solve his problem. So he whispered to Gotu, "Gotu, power down out of Super Saiyan. Gotu? Gotu?!" He whirled around to see that Gotu was nowhere in sight. He quickly scanned the area with his senses, locating the boy in the trees below him. "Hang on Goten, I've got to go get your son. He flew off."
"Uh, okay." Goten replied, "Mind if I come with you?"
"No!" Goku shouted quickly.
"Fine. By the way, why are you a Super Saiyan right now?" Goten asked suspiciously.
"Uh...well...umm...we were just doing some light training.
"Okay." Goku flew down to the forest below him and scanned the trees. He noticed a glow in the corner of his eye. He phased over to it. What he saw made him smile-Gotu had fallen asleep in his Super Saiyan form. 'Oh well, there's no chance of waking him up now. Might as well let Goten know.'
"Hey Goten, come here!" Goku shouted, picking up his grandson, "I have something I want to show you." Goten flew to his father, and his eyes almost leaped from their sockets.
"H-he-he's a-a Super Saiyan! Since when Dad?!"
"I think just tonight-he came to me wondering what had happened to him. When I explained, he also asked me what a Saiyan was." Goku looked at his son expectantly.
"Uh, well, I was going to tell him really soon, Dad, honest! But Catarina said it'd probably be best if we told him when he was older and could understand it better. I'm sorry Dad." Goten turned his eyes down, too ashamed to look his full-blooded Saiyan father in the eye.
"It's okay Goten, I'm not mad. I was just wondering why he didn't know about his heritage, that's all. Now, why don't we get back to bed? I want to have a meeting tomorrow of everyone that we know. In fact, during the meeting, we can tell everyone about Gotu's achievement."
"Okay Dad. But what is the meeting about?"
"You'll see." Goku said, with a hint of mischief gleaming in his eyes. Gotu shifted the slightest bit in his grandfather's arms.
"Daddy..." he mumbled in his sleep.
"Here Goten, better get him back to bed too. Oh, and see if you can't get him to power down as well. No use freaking Catarina out-we'll show her tomorrow as well," Goku said, handing over his grandson. Goten stroked his little boy's cheek and whispered into his ear. After a few seconds, his hair color returned to normal. Then the Saiyans returned to their respectful bedrooms and fell fast asleep.
* * * *
"Daddy!" said a flying Gotu as he leaped onto his sleeping parents. "Wake up Daddy. Grandpa wants you."
"I'm up, I'm up!" Goten said sleepily. He looked over at his wife. "Cat, get up. Come on honey, before you miss any chance of eating breakfast." At that she sat straight up.
"I'm awake." After living with Saiyans for four and a half years, she knew better than to sleep in. Otherwise, by the time she got to the kitchen, there wouldn't be anything left to eat. Besides, she herself had quite a big appetite.
"Okay, you get dressed, I've gotta go see what my dad wants." He leaned over and they kissed, "I love you."
"I love you too," she said. They leaned in for another kiss, when Goten felt a tug on his arm. He looked down at his son.
"Come on, Daddy," Gotu pleaded.
"Okay, I'm coming. See you in a bit, Cat." The two walked out of the room, heading towards the field outside, where training usually occurred. When they got to where Goku was, Gotu let go of his father's hand and took a flying leap at his grandfather.
"Grandpa!" he yelled. Goku caught the flying boy, falling over as he did so.
"Hiya, Sport!" he said, giving Gotu a nugie.
"Um, Dad? You wanted to see me?" Goten asked.
"Yes," Goku said, standing up. "We need to start calling people for the meeting I was telling you about last night. There's something important that I want to tell everyone. Besides, don't you want to show everyone Gotu's new ability?"
"Oh, yeah!" Goten exclaimed excitedly. "Hey, Gotu, can you power up into a Super Saiyan again?" he asked, picking the small boy up in his arms.
"Yeah, Daddy!" He quickly powered up, causing Goten to turn his eyes from the burst of light.
"Good job! Now let's go show Mommy, Okay?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, let's go. Dad, I'll make the calls," Goten said, walking towards the house.
"Thanks!" Goku said to the receding form of his son.
* * * *
"Okay, see you in a bit," Goten said, just getting off of the phone with his best friend, Trunks. "That's the last of them," he said, looking over the list of people to call.
"Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!" Goten looked up towards the ceiling at his currently blonde-haired son and sighed-"How will Catarina take this?" he wondered. "Oh, well. There's only one way to find out."
"Hey, Cat!" he yelled to his wife.
"Yeah, Goten?" she called out from the kitchen.
"Could you come here and take care of your son? He's driving me insane!"
"Just a sec!" He heard the water shut off. Catarina walked in, drying her hands on a dishtowel, and saw only Goten but heard the zooming noises coming from her son. She looked all around the room, not finding him. Finally, she looked back at Goten. He had a smirk on his face and was pointing up. She looked in that direction and almost fainted at what she saw. "Goten...w-w-what is t-t-that!" she cried.
"Gotu, come here." The zooming noises stopped and the small boy flew down to where his father stood. Goten then proceeded to power up into a Super Saiyan as well. "Notice a similarity?" he asked his awestruck wife.
"My little boy is a-a-a Super Saiyan?"
"Yep. Gotu, go see Mommy." Gotu ran into his mother's outstretched arms and proceeded to give her a big hug. He then looked into her big eyes.
"Mommy? Why are you crying?" he asked in his three and a half-year-old innocence.
"Mommy's just very happy for you," she explained. "Goten, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Well, it just happened last night, and...well...I wasn't sure how you would take it," he said, looking down at the floor.
"Goten! Why shouldn't I be happy? Don't you remember how ecstatic I was when he learned how to fly?"
"Oh, yeah," he replied sheepishly.
"Well, now that that's cleared up...I'm gonna call Natalie and tell her!"
"Wait! You won't be able to get a hold of her anyway."
"Why not?" Catarina asked suspiciously.
"Because Dad had me call everyone over here for a meeting. They're already on their way over. We'll tell them then."
"Okay." She stood up, picking up Gotu in the process. She walked over to Goten and kissed him on the cheek, "Pew! You two need baths. Here, Goten," she said handing him Gotu, "have fun."
"Okay, okay! I'm going!"
* * * *
30 minutes later
* * * *
: DING-DONG!: Someone was at the door.
"I've got it!" yelled Gotu. He ran to the door (not in Super Saiyan form of course) and opened it. There stood Trunks, his wife, Natalie, and their two children, Jacion-age four, and Kira-age one. "Hello!" he greeted them.
Just then Goten walked up. "Hey everyone! Come on in!"
"Where's Catarina?" Natalie asked.
"She's in the kitchen, helping my mom prepare the food. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you went in and helped them."
"Okay. See ya Trunks."
Gotu and Jacion ran towards the room Gotu had been staying in.
"I guess I'm stuck with Kira." Trunks said, holding his one-year-old daughter. "Unless..."
Just then, the doorbell rang. Goten opened it up to reveal his older brother, Gohan, along with his wife and daughter, Videl and Pan.
"Hey, Goten! How's it going?" Gohan asked, giving his younger brother a hug.
"I'm great. Come on in. Bulma, Vegita and Bra should be here any time--"
: DING-DONG!: "--now." As he opened the door, a blue-haired blur rushed past him and stopped in front of Pan.
"Come on Pan, I brought some dolls to play with!" Bra exclaimed.
Gohan and Vegita looked at each other and sighed-they both wished that their daughters would take up some sort of training, instead of playing with dolls and other stuff like that. The two girls ran off to play in Gohan's old room.
"Hey, Goten, where's Dad?" Gohan asked.
"I'm right here," said a very serious voice from behind them. They all turned to see Goku with a serious expression on his face.
"Well, Kakarott? You called us all here for some important meeting," Vegita said impatiently, "what do you want?"
"I suggest that we all move into the living room-including the kids." Everyone got puzzled looks on their faces, but they all complied. Trunks and Goten went to get the kids, who had gone off to play in the two back bedrooms. Trunks went to get the boys, and Goten the girls.
All of a sudden, Goten heard Trunks shout, and ran to see what had happened. When he got there, Trunks was trying to revive his son, and Gotu-in full blown Super Saiyan form-was standing off to the side with his arms folded across his chest.
"Trunks?!" What happened?!"
"I don't know! I came in here and found them like this! By the way-since when has Gotu been able to go Super Saiyan?"
"Just since last night-but don't tell anyone just yet. I'm gonna show everyone at the meeting, Okay?"
"Fine, but for now, try to find out what happened here!"
"Okay." Goten crossed the room and knelt down in front of his son. "Gotu, what did you do to Jacion?"
Gotu's lip started to tremble, and he burst into tears. Goten embraced the small boy, trying to calm him down. "It's okay Gotu, just tell Daddy what happened."
"I'm sorry Daddy, it's just that...well...we were playing *sniff* and Jacion didn't like something I did-that's what he said-and *sniff* then he said he wouldn't play with...with...with a weak third class Saiyan. So then, I got mad at him, and I turned Super Saiyan, and...and...and..." at that, the small boy broke down again. "I'm sorry Daddy, I was just defending the family honor like Grandpa told me to do."
"It's okay Gotu, I'm not mad at you." He then looked over at Trunks, who had managed to awaken Jacion. "Sounds like your father's influence."
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'm gonna have a word with him later," Trunks said reassuringly. "And Jacion, if I ever hear you say that again, I'll give you a punishment you'll never forget-got that?"
"Yes, Daddy," Jacion said with a look of shock on his face, for he had never been disciplined for anything before, and was afraid of what might happen if he was.
"Good. Oh, and Goten, if you want that to be a surprise, you'd better get him to power down." Trunks said matter-of-factly.
"Right. Gotu, come on Sport, power down."
"Okay." Gotu said sniffling.
As soon as Gotu had powered down, Goten picked him up and walked out of the room, followed by Trunks and Jacion. On their way to the living room, they retrieved the two pre-teen girls.
Upon reaching it, they found everyone's eyes on them. Natalie was the first to talk.
"What on earth was all that commotion? And why does Jacion have a black eye, Trunks?!"
Trunks looked down at the purple-haired boy. He hadn't noticed the black eye before-what should he say? "Don't worry, just a little dispute-problem already taken care of," Trunks explained quickly.
Everyone calmed down a bit then and they all looked to Goku. Trunks took a seat next to Natalie, placing Jacion on her lap and taking Kira. Goten sat next to Catarina and handed her their teary-eyed son. Upon being placed in his mother's lap, Gotu cuddled close to her and wrapped his furry brown tail around her waist. The two girls each took a seat on the floor.
"Well, first of all," Goku started, "Goten has something that he would like to show all of you. Goten?"
"Okay. Come on, Gotu."
"I don't want to," the small boy mumbled. Goten looked at Catarina.
"Come on, sweetie," she coaxed, "do it for Mommy."
"Okay, Mommy," he agreed. He then proceeded to get up and walk to the middle of the room. Once he got there, he quickly powered up into a Super Saiyan. Everyone was shocked. He was so young, and yet, he was able to accomplish so great a task.
"Wow," Gohan said, awestruck, "he looks just like I did, when I first went Super Saiyan." Then there was an outburst from the other side of the room.
"That's impossible!" Vegita roared. "We've already proven, that, unless you are at least half Saiyan, it's impossible to become a Super Saiyan!"
Everyone remembered this and became confused. How would it be possible for a small boy who was only one-fourth Saiyan to accomplish this?
"Everyone, please calm down," Goku said, walking towards his grandson and picking up the now frightened boy. "I'm sure that there's a completely logical explanation for this. Bulma? After the meeting, could you do some sort of DNA check on Gotu?"
"Sure, I've already got samples of Saiyan, Human, Sidra-jin, and even Namekian DNA logged into my computer. We should be able to clear this up without any problems."
"Thanks Bulma. Now-on to the next line of business. I know that this might sound kinda spur-of-the moment, but...I need to go to Namek."
"What?!" everyone shouted simultaneously.
"I've been thinking about something lately, and I'd like to make a couple of wishes. And, please, understand, I know I've made the right desicion." he explained.
"But why Namek's Dragonballs?" Gohan wondered. "Can't you just use Earth's?"
"No, if I could, I wouldn't have even called this meeting together. But another thing-I'm not going alone. I want Vegita, Trunks, Gohan, and Goten to come with me." As Goku looked around the room, he saw everyone get confused looks on their faces. "I know that it might sound odd, but it involves all of you."
"And what about us mothers huh?" Natalie asked, "are we just supposed to watch our kids alone?"
"I'm sorry, Natalie, but it will only take two or three days at the most. Chichi? Would you be willing to help out?"
"Absolutely!"
"Thank you."
"Daddy?" Trunks looked down at Jacion. The small boy was practically a clone of his father.
"Yes, Jacion?"
"Can I come too?" Trunks glanced at Natalie.
"Absolutely not! He's four years old-there's no way I'm letting him go off to some distant planet!"
Jacion folded his arms across his chest and pouted. Kira giggled, her lavendar curls bouncing. Jacion just glared at her through his icy blue eyes.
"All I have left to say is, be here at noon tomorrow for those who are coming. Other than that, you're all free to leave." Goku finished.
"Well, if you want me to run those tests on Gotu, I suggest that we get going." Bulma added.
"Okay." Goten said, "That's fine by me, but Cat and I are coming along."
"Fine by me."
"I'll teleport all of you over to Capsule Corp. Come on, let's get going." Goku offered.
With Gotu in one arm, and Trunks, Vegita, Bulma, Natalie, Catarina, Goten, and Bra each placing a hand on him, Goku placed two fingers on his forehead, they were all transported to the Capsule Corp.
Bulma took Gotu out of Goku's arms and carried him down to the lab. Upon reaching it, she placed the boy on a table and retrieved a needle. She then rolled up Gotu's sleeve and stuck the needle in his arm. She retrieved
a small sample of blood. She put a couple of drops of it onto a slide, which she then put into the computer for it to analyze.
When she got the results, she cried out in surprise, bringing everyone running.
"What is it?" Goten asked, "Is something wrong?"
"No, not at all," Bulma replied, "the thing is, according to the computer analyzation...Gotu is three-fourths Saiyan!"
"Three-fourths?! But how is that possible, seeing as I'm only half Saiyan and Catarina here is..." Goten trailed off.
"What is it Goten?" Catarina asked.
"Bulma? Could you do another DNA check-on Catarina?"
"Sure, I guess so."
Bulma got the sample, put it into the computer, and waited for the analyzation results. They came out positive.
"You guys are never gonna believe this, but...Catarina is a pure-bred Saiyan!"
"No! That can't be true!" Vegita yelled.
"Whether you like it or not, Vegita, I'm a Saiyan according to the computer." Catarina yelled back, defending herself.
"But...but...well, look at her!" He did have a point. She had light brown hair and blue-green eyes-very uncharacteristic of a Saiyan.
"Well, what about the test? Are you saying that the computer was wrond?" Catarina asked.
"Hang on, let me look at it again." Bulma walked to the computer and punched a few keys. "Well, this is definitely Saiyan DNA, but there's one slight alteration here-explaining the hair and eyes. Vegita, are you sure
there aren't any possiblities of...different Saiyans?"
"Yes, otherwise, my father would have told..." he trailed off. "Actually, there is. My father once told me, that people spoke of some-as he put it-odd looking Saiyans that had begun popping up all across the planet. But he also told me that it was just a rumor. I guess he was wrong."
"Cat? Did your parents ever tell you anything about this?" Goten asked. Catarina looked down at the floor.
"They couldn't have, not the parents I knew anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"I was adopted. The people that adopted me said that the only information the orphanage had on me, was that I was found in some sort of a space pod."
"That makes sense. That's what the rest of the full-blooded Saiyans came to earth in." Bulma commented. "By the way, did they ever say anything about you being extremely wild?" she questioned.
"Yeah, but they said they heard a *THUD* come from my room one night, and that I had fallen out of bed. After that, I was as sweet as any other child."
"I guess that that would make sense." Vegita said. "But, from now on, you'll be training, just like the rest of us."
"What?!" Catarina yelled.
"I mean it, judging from the past, no one can tell when we could have another battle to fight, and it would be very useful to have as many Saiyans as possible to fight with."
"Fine. But you guys had better go easy on me at first-you have to realize that I've never trained before." she replied.
"It's alright with me, but your first training will come on Namek."
"What do you mean?" she asked suspiciously.
"I mean, that you're going with us to Namek-you might as well begin learning as soon as possible."
"Oh, really? Well, then, what do you expect me to do with my son, hmmm? You can't seriously expect me to dump him on Chichi or Videl!"
"So bring him with us. A little real training couldn't hurt him any either."
Goten and Catarina both glared at Vegita, but when Cat looked into Gotu's pleading eyes, she melted. "I guess it would be okay...but if you go anywhere near him, Vegita, you'll wish you had never been born!"
"Whatever. Now, I suggest that we all get some rest-we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
