Chapter 3
The Z Warriors in Wonder Land
Quote: "Maybe they're from the Namek sei-jin welcoming committee."--Bulma
Part 1
Everyone crowded into the ship, but it was designed to hold 10 people, not 13. Trunks sighed as Gogeta crawled onto his lap, with a big smile on her face. Pan was about to protest, when Gohan scooped her up and put her on his lap. Bra sat on Goten's lap.
"Everyone here?" asked Veggi from the controls. She made a quick count and got 13. "All right then, hold on. This isn't the smoothest of rides."
The ship lifted up and began to spin in circles. It spun so fast that they soon couldn't feel it turn.
"This is weird!" shouted Goten.
"I don't feel so good," said Pan.
Then there was a flash and the ship stopped.
"Everyone all right?" asked Veggi.
"Piccolo is looking a little green around the gills," laughed Goten. The Namek sei-jin glared at him and Goten tried to hide behind Bra.
"Let's get out of here, this place is too small," said Bulma, moving for the door. The others followed.
Nall's dimension was breathtaking. The sky was all colors of the rainbow, like a sunset. A roaring waterfall that defied gravity ran in graceful swoops in midair, even going upside down. Plants grew everywhere except on the stone paths that crissed and crossed the ground. A million different flowers grew in a million different colors. Rocks stood as if arranged, in colors of gold, silver and metallic tints.
"Wow! Pretty," said Bra as she ran out to look at the flowers.
"Took the words right out of my mouth," said Bulma.
Pan, Gogeta, and Uub ran to play with Bra. Bra began chasing a butterfly as big as herself.
"This place is like a dream," said Chi-Chi, watching a fire bird fly gracefully in the sky.
"Well, this Nall guy does have good taste," said Veggi.
"Thank you," said a voice. Everyone but the children, turned to see Nall sitting on a red metallic rock,with a beautiful multi-colored bird sittting on his shoulder.
"Nall!" growled Carrot. Veggi stopped him with an outstretched hand.
"Nall, tell me why did you have to destroy all the dimensions? I can see why you would want to create his world, but why destroy the others?"
"Ah, good question," said Nall, throwing the bird into the air. "I didn't want anything to happen to this world, so to protect it, I got rid of the others. This is now the center of the Universe, the ultimate masterpiece.
Everything I found beautiful in the other dimensions I have brought here."
"You're mad," said Goshin. "You'd destroy all those people and their lives, just to make and protect your fancy world?!"
Nall laughed. "They never existed."
"Bastard," shouted Goshin, jumping forward toward Nall with his hand cocked.
Nall disappeared and Goshin's fist destroyed the metallic red rock. He pull back and scanned for Nall. Nall's laughter filled the air. They all watched as the rock pulled itself together and returned to how it looked before
Goshin hit it.
"Oh, Kami-sama!" said Gohan.
"I'm god in this world," said Nall's voice. "All people, animals, trees, rocks belong to me here. Nothing dies here, or loses its beauty."
"If this word is so perfect, then why do you need Gokku and Vegeta?" shouted Veggi.
"A little problem called free will. You can change an object or person, but you can't make them obey you. The people I keep here follow me, and if they don't, Vegeta and Kakarot make them understand."
"You don't have control over this world, you only designed it from things you stole from other dimensions!" shouted Carrot.
"Ah, smart boy, but there was something I couldn't steal and I joined Lusifer forces, to try and make it mine." Nall appeared behind them and they all turn and looked at him. "Bra-chan," he called in a sweet voice. Bra stopped looking at a pink furry animal and looked at Nall. "Bra-chan, you are like me. You and I alone can do what you see around you. Do you like this place, Bra-chan?"
Bra smiled. "Yes, it's so pretty."
"I've looked through countless Universes for one like you, Bra-chan. Come with me and together we can build hundreds and thousands of worlds, each more beautiful than the last." Nall held out his hand to Bra.
"No! Bra!" shouted Trunks, and dove between Nall and Bra, scooping up his sister. "Don't you touch her," he growled, holding her close.
Nall frowned, "Don't get in the way, boy!" As he said that a wave of energy hit Trunks and sent him flying. He landed hard, still holding Bra protectively in his arms.
"Brother!" shouted Bra and growled at Nall. "You leave my brother alone!" A mental wave of energy hit Nall, sending him crashing through the beautiful scenery. Bra fainted.
"Damn you!" yelled Nall.
"Let's get out of here," shouted Goshin. Veggi encapsulated their ship and the group took off.
After a long run, they became sure that they had left Nall far behind.
"Wait, if this is his world, then won't he be able to find us where ever we go?" asked Gohan.
"No, he created this world, but he doesn't have that kind of control, no one does. If he wanted to find us he'd have to do it himself," said Carrot.
"Or have Gokku and Vegeta do it," said Piccolo.
"Is Bra okay?" asked Bulma, going over to Bra who was still in Trunks' arms.
"Yah, she just fainted," said Trunks as he gave Bra to Bulma.
"She shouldn't have that kind of power yet," said Carrot, going over to the girl. "She's far to young."
"Never mind that, lets just hope she doesn't have to do it again. We still need to find Gokku and Vegeta. If we can defeat them and keep them for getting in the way, we should be able to find Crono and restore everything," said Veggi.
"How are we going to find them? We don't know where anything is in this world," asked Chi-Chi.
"We don't need to, they'll probably come to us," said Piccolo.
"Damn, why are Gokku and Dad loyal to that asshole?" cursed Trunks.
"Or are they?" said Gohan.
"What?" asked Carrot.
"I was just thinking, what if we could get them to join our side, like dad always does with his enemy? They know this place, they would probably know where Crono is," said Gohan.
"Just one problem, kid," said Piccolo. "Your dad had to defeat his enemies first before they joined him."
Gohan bit his lip. "Yah, you're right. Looks like no matter what we do, we're going to have to fight them."
"Do you think we can win?" asked Goshin. "Last time we got our butts kicked."
"Gotenks was doing just fine against Gokku," said Goten.
"Yah, but we only have one Gotenks and two Saiya-jins to fight. Unless."
Gohan's eyes drifted to Carrot and Veggi.
"What?!" the twins shouted at the same time.
"No!" shouted Veggi.
"I'm not doing that stupid dance," growled Carrot.
"They are definitely Vegeta's grandchildren," said Bulma.
"You two are going to learn the fusion dance, whether you want to or not," said Gohan, using his father voice.
Carrot and Vegeta backed away from him. "You're not our father," said Carrot.
"Yah, but he is," said Goten, pointing to Uub. Goten crouched down by Uub and whispered something in his ear. The boy nodded. Goten stood up and Uub scowled.
Carrot and Veggi both jumped, backing up into a tree with pink and orange leaves.
"Carrot Vegeta Briefs. Veggi Vegeta Briefs. Both of you are going to learn that dance and I'll hear no buts about it," said Uub, in a very adult voice.
Both quarter-Saiya-jin paled and nodded. "Good," said Uub with a childish smile.
"That was weird," said Goshin. "He sounded just like his adult self, and believe me, you don't want to get on Uub-san's bad side."
"Good, now that that's settled, let's go find a camp site so Carrot and
Veggi can begin their training," said Gohan. Everyone agreed and started walking, Carrot and Veggi looked at each other and sighed.
They set up a campsite in a large meadow of blue grass and small white flowers. Bulma had brought lots of things encapsulated, including two capsule houses. Trunks and Goten taught Carrot and Veggi the fusion dance, while the rest set up camp.
"All right, let's see you two do it for real," said Trunks. Goten nodded.
Veggi and Carrot groaned and moved into the fusion pose. Everyone stopped to watch them.
"Fusion Ha!"
There was a bright flash of light and when it cleared, where two had stood, now stood one. The figure was female. Her long brown tail twitched back and forth behind her. She was dressed completely in black shiny leather. Her hair was long, down to her shoulder blades, with black with purple streaks in it. She had a well-defined widow's peak with a few stray strands of hair falling in her face.
"I am Varrot," said the fused girl in a deep doubled voice.
"Wow!" said Uub, looking up at the girl.
"Impressive," said Trunks. He couldn't keep the awe out of his voice.
"How powerful are they?" asked Piccolo, far less impressed.
Varrot laughed and began powering up. Her hair went spiky then stood up, changing from black and purple to gold. Then sparks of power flashed around her as she went to level two. Varrot screamed and power exploded around her, as her hair grew longer, down to her waist and her eyebrows disappeared.
"She might be as powerful as Gotenks," said Gohan.
"What?!" shouted Trunks.
"No one's as powerful as Gotenks," said Goten. Both boys nodded and did the fusion dance. The flashed faded and there stood Gotenks, who powered up to level three and took up a fighting stance.
"Let's go, Varrot!" said Gotenks in a doubled voice.
"All right!" Varrot shouted back, also dropping into a fighting stance.
They where about to race at each other, when a voice yelled out. "NO you two don't! You're going to mess up the camp if you fight here, and you're suppose to save your energy for a real fight!"
The two fusions looked over at a fuming Chi-Chi, who had her hands on her hips.
Gotenks cowed. The part of him that was Goten knew better then to disobey.
Varrot also backed off, sensing that this weak woman could and would find some way to make her pay if she didn't.
The rest of the group laughed.
"You two better power down before you attract any unwanted attention," said Goshin.
Both fusions powered down, and within 30 minutes the fusion wore off. They all had lunch and divided the capsule houses up, a girls' and a boys'.

Part 2
Nall fumed, he should have brought Kakarot and Vegeta when he went to confront them, but he had thought he could handle any of them. He had badly misjudged Bra. Her powers were strong, too strong for her age. He went to see Crono. He had a feeling the entity had something to do with it.
"Crono!" shouted Nall as he stepped into the void of nothing. The surroundings formed into a empty square room.
"You called," said a female voice. The energy formed into a woman this time, same characteristics as its male version. White hair, and ageless eyes.
"Crono, what did you do to Bra?" demanded Nall.
The entity smiled. "I have done nothing, Nall. You know I only have power to influence things in here," the woman said, tapping her staff against one of the room's walls.
Nall narrowed his eyes. "Something is happening to her and you know what."
"Of course I do," said Crono. She tapped her staff on the ground and a table and two chair sprung up. "Would you like to sit?" she asked, moving to sit in one chair.
Nall frowned but took her offer. "Crono, tell me. What's happening to Bra?"
"She's reacting to another force," said Crono.
"What force is that? The only forces are you and me." Crono smiled and shook her head. "Tell me, Crono," said Nall his voice raising.
"No," said Crono. "I've decided to let you fix your own problems. I may not be able to do anything without you outside this lovely prison you've made me, but that doesn't mean I have to do what you say."
"You've done everything I've asked so far," said Nall, rising from his chair.
"That's because I was bored being cooped up," smiled the god. "You don't have control, Nall, you never did."
"Damn you!" cursed Nall. "You're hiding things from me."
"There are rules to every game, Nall. You have tried to break some of mine. I won't allow that."
Nall turned away angrily. "Tell me, Crono, did you let me trap you here?" he asked, his back still turned.
"Yes," laughed Crono.
"Why?!" shouted Nall.
"For fun, I wanted to see what would happen if I let someone else take over for a while."
"A while, I suppose that means you think you're going to get out of here?!" shouted Nall.
Crono smiled. "Nothing is forever, Nall. I have all the time in all the Universes, and things have already started to bring your downfall."
"We will see about that!" shouted Nall and stormed out of the room.

Part 3
"So what are we going to do now?" asked Goten. The group had gathered together to talk.
"We should split up and look for them," said Piccolo. Everyone turned to regard the Namek sei-jin.
"But, if we spilt up, we won't be as strong when we do find them," said Carrot.
"But, it is faster is we split up," said Veggi.
"If any of us run into Gokku, Vegeta, or that Nall character, we can raise our ki to alert the others," suggested Gohan.
"That means we have to keep our ki low, so it would make keeping track of each other impossible," said Goshin.
"Well, we're not getting anything done just staying here, I say we do it," said Trunks.
"We can pair up, that will make it safer," said Goten, putting a hand on Trunks' shoulder.
"Good idea," said Gohan. "I'll go with Piccolo, Trunks and Goten will pair up, and Veggi and Carrot can pair up."
"What about me?" protested Goshin.
"Yah," said Bulma. "You guy always leave me out in the wilderness, I'm going."
"But, Mom," said Trunks. "You're not a fighter, what if you run into them?"
"Oh, I can take care of myself. I'll go with Goshin."
"But—" said Trunks.
"NO buts, Trunks! I said I'm going, so I'm going." Trunks bowed his head in defeat.
"Okay, we will meet back at night if we can't find them," said Gohan.
Everyone separated and left to search.

Part 4
Nall called Gokku and Vegeta into his private chambers.
"What is it, Nall-sama, is something wrong?" asked Gokku.
Vegeta regarded Nall. He was having trouble trusting the man. After all the time he's been loyal to Nall, he was starting to have doubts. Bulma's words keep repeating in his mind. Did Nall take us from another dimension to be his guard dogs?
"Kakarot, Vegeta, we have intruders." That got both their attention.
"Is it those kids from the other dimension?" asked Gokku.
"Yes, they have a time machine that can travel through dimensions. You can bring me the intruders dead or alive, you decide, but I want the little blue haired girl brought to me unharmed."
"Blue hair," said Vegeta outloud. Could it be the little girl Bulma claimed was theirs?
"Yes," said Nall. "She's not very strong, but she has strong mental powers so be careful."
"Any idea where they are?" asked Vegeta.
"I saw them in the Auga forest, but they could be anywhere by now."
"What about Crono? He should know where they are," said Vegeta.
"Never mind Crono! Just go find them!"
Gokku and Vegeta jumped with shock. They bowed and left the room.
"That was weird. Do you think he had a fight with Crono or something?" asked Gokku.
"Don't know. Any way it's none of our business, and if you don't want to make Nall-sama mad at you, I suggest you just do what he wants."
"Yah, you're probably right," said Gokku.
"Kakarot, have you any memories of before Nall-san?" asked Vegeta.
Gokku thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Nope, I can't remember any time I didn't know him. Why, have you?"
"I remember something about a place were everyone had tails, but that's about it."
Gokku shrugged his shoulders. "It's not important right now. What we need to do is find those brats and get rid of them."
Vegeta nodded. The two of them existed the large building to stand in the street of a large city. The city was just as beautiful as the rest of the planet. People and creature of all kind of races roamed about the streets, carried on with their lives. They bowed their heads respectfully at Gokku and Vegeta. They knewwell the law enforcers of Nall-sama's wishes.
"You go north, I'll go south. We will meet back here at night whether we found them or not," said Vegeta.
"Okay," said Gokku, and levitated up into the air. Vegeta watched him go, then started heading in the opposite direction.
