Dragon Balls GN
Chapter Three
Let the Training Begin!
Rosemary looked around the small island with her luggage in hand. It was a fairly big island with houses not too far away as well as a huge jungle. In one bag was her usual outfits, makeup, and hair accessories and in the other bag was her usual assortment of weapons.
"Hey, Rosemary!" Krillian said as he came forward. Rosemary put down her bags and bowed down to the smaller man.
"Hello, Master Krillian." She said in a calm voice.
Krillian bowed back and said, "Are you ready for some intense training?"
"You bet." Rosemary said as Krillian gestured to follow him.
"Good. Now, first, no weapons. You can't depend completely on weapons in a fight." Rosemary scowled but handed the former monk the weapons suitcase.
"Thanks. Now, how about a warm-up?" Krillian said as he picked up a rock. He drew something on it. "Here." He said as he wrote the word 'Turtle' on it.
"I see it."
"Now, memorize it." Krillian said as the girl stared at it. "Got it?" He asked.
Rosemary only nodded.
"Good." He looked into the vast jungle and tossed the rock into the trees.
"Oh no." She moaned as she stared at the trees.
"Now, your first task is to look for that rock. And don't try making another copy; I know my handwriting. No gadgets either. As soon as you're done, you can eat."
"A tiny rock in all that?" Rosemary asked looking down. "It's impossible."
"Goku and I found it in half an hour. You can do it now. Oh, and if you can't find it in half an hour, no lunch for you."
Rosemary gulped and ran over to the vast jungle.
*****
Earl Grey sighed as he ran down the long bridge to the King Kai's planet. Normally, a person has to die in order to train under King Kai but now Dende has special permission to let the living on King Kai's planet but only one at a time and that person wouldn't be allowed to visit any dead love ones. It was fine by him since he really doesn't want to visit any dead people.
After several hours of running, he finally came to the end of the bridge and hovering a mile over the end was a small planet with a house and several trees on it. Earl took several steps back and run forward. With grace, he flung himself on to the planet and landed with a thud. He felt his entire body weigh down on the planet itself. Slowly, he got up and stood as tall as he could.
"King Kai?" He asked as he looked around.
A strange blue man came out of the house caring a tea tray. His skin was as blue as Rosemary's. His face looked like something like a catfish with sunglasses. "You must be Earl Grey. I'm King Kai. My, this is the first time I get to train a live one. Get it? *snicker* Live? You're alive right?"
"Last time I checked." Earl quipped as he remembered Yamcha's warning about King Kai's bad jokes.
"Huh? Oh! Good one! Now, I know you're itching to do some training. So, the first one is... make me laugh."
Earl's eyes bulged as he fell over. "Okay." He muttered as he sat up. He stood slowly and grinned. His body glowed as King Kai watched with fascination. "Morph!" he yelled out as a poof of smoke overcame him and in his place was Vegita dressed in a school boy's outfit. In a good impersonation of the Saiyan prince he sang, "I'm a little tea pot short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout. When I get all steamed up here me shout. Tip me over and pour me out."
King Kai fell over in laughter as he watched the transformed man kept on singing. "Okay! Okay! You're in! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA *SNORT*!"
*****
Meanwhile, Rosemary ran along the ground where she thought she last saw the rock. "Oh, this is ridiculous, who ever heard of finding a tiny rock in this huge jungle? Maybe, I should use it." She closed her eyes and took out her sword. Air rippled around her as she looked around. A deep feeling crept up to her. With closed eyes, she followed the deep feeling until it grew strong. She opened her eyes and looked around the ground for a few minutes and saw the rock next to a group of eggs. "All right!"
She walked up and grabbed the rock. Suddenly, a roar came out of nowhere and she looked up to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing over her. "HELP!!!" she cried out as she ran through the jungle with rock in hand.
In record time, she ran out of the jungle and up to the cliff where Krillian was waiting with a stopwatch. "You just about made it." Krillian said as he held it up. "Let me see your rock." He looked at it and grinned. "Yup. You did it. I'm impressed. Okay, how did you do it?"
"I used my women's intuition."
"Okay. Well, let's go and have some lunch." Krillian said as the two walked into the house.
Rosemary looked around as she noticed her luggage sitting to the side. A young woman with long blond hair was sitting in a chair with textbooks around her. She looked up and said, "Hi. I'm Marron."
"Rosemary." The two shake hands.
"I saw you at the tryouts. You're great."
"I wish. The way Earl and that Goten guy fought and the green guy 'Toracake'. They didn't even use weapons."
"Goten's much older than you. Earl trains in the martial arts. Tora_kak_ isn't human." Krillian explained, "I'll teach you how to use your Ki. When I'm done with you, those weapons your father gave you will be outdated."
"Really? I can do that Kame blast?"
"Sure you can. You just need to learn to channel your Ki. You have a very strong Ki." Krillian sensed, "Let's get started."
"Okay, first off, what's Ki?"
"Huh? Oh!" Krillian laughed at the girl's question. "It's your life force. It's what powers all living beings. Everyone and everything has Ki. But only a few can use it like a weapon. After Lunch, I can show you."
*****
King Kai sipped at his tea as Earl ran passed him for the tenth time in pursuit of the monkey. The Guardian of the Northern Galaxy grinned to himself. Bubbles and Gregory had been through their own fair share of training over the years. Despite the fact that Earl's power is much more than Goku was when he first trained, Bubbles was avoiding his grasp with embarrassing ease.
He sighed as he fondly recalled back when Goku first came here. The frustration of the chase and the joy of catching the monkey. Now, this young man who's the son of one of his other former students is doing the task. He glanced at his watch and realized that the boy must be getting hungry. "Break time!" King Kai bellowed as the two stopped.
*****
Majunor and Goten traded blows as most of the Z warriors fought in the palace. Dende and Mr. Popo stared with looks of disbelief and fear in their eyes. "Majunor is good." Dende commented.
"Do you think it's him?" Mr. Popo asked hopefully.
"I'm sure." Dende nodded. "He's the right age and he knows this place just as well as you."
Goten and Majunor landed breathing heavily. The demi-Saiyan was holding his left hand while Majunor have his hand on his stomach in pain. Dende ran to the two and used his mystical healing power on them.
Goten glanced at Majunor and said, "You're strong, Majunor. How do you do it?"
"I eat my vegetables and exercise every day." Majunor replied smirking.
Dende smiled at Majunor's remark. Goten looked at Majunor oddly. "Okay." Goten said as he sat down tired.
"Eating healthy does make a good fighter." Torakak said as he came up.
"This is coming from a guy who never ate before." Goten muttered as he got up.
"Yeah... well... if you need to eat, eat healthy foods. Anyway, your technique is good. But, you need to work on your punches. Try this." Torakak did the same series of punches Goten used but in a more fluid motion.
Goten copied the move perfectly. "I know how to fight."
"I know you do. Have you and Trunks fused into Gotenks lately?"
"Not really." Goten replied, "How did you know about... let me guess Dad told you?"
"You might say that." Torakak said as he looked down at Majunor. "You did pretty good yourself. But you can do much better."
"Pretty good?" Trunks repeated, "That kid is stronger than I was back when I was his age!"
"So? Torakak's right. I'm not up to my standards."
**Up to his standards? Dende, what does he mean?** Goten thought.
**I can't say.** Dende replied.
**IT'S A RETORICAL QUESTION!**
**Sorry.**
"Why don't you two, Goten and Trunks, fuse and fight me?"
"Are you sure?" Goten asked uncertain, "I mean, Gotenks is powerful."
"Exactly, I need to fight someone more powerful than me and since Gohan left for a class, I thought that Gotenks will give me a good idea on how my power is."
Trunks and Goten glanced at each other evilly. They had never met a Namekian that's this eager for a good fight. "Okay." Trunks said grinning.
"Wait!" Dende exclaimed as he waved his hands, "Fight in the Spirit Room of Spirit and Time. The Palace isn't looking too good."
Torakak and everyone else looked at the Palace which was on the verge of collapse again. "Oh, yeah that would be a good idea." he squeaked as everyone fell over.
*****
Goten and Trunks stood side by side in front of the Namekian. Torakak went into fighter's position. "Okay, fuse."
The two haven't fuse in over twenty years. During the years, they never needed to fuse. "It's been a while." Goten said excitedly. "Ready?"
"Let's just go." Trunks said as they went into Fusion pose. They danced the dance that joined them together in every possible way. It made their souls become one as well as their bodies.
A bright flash flared out as Torakak watched in awe and then face faulted. Standing there was a very fat man with black and purple hair. "Oops." Fat Gotenks said as Torakak got up.
"Looks like we wait a half hour." Torakak said as he lay down.
*****
Earl ate his food with great speed. He wanted to catch the monkey so much and all that running with the enhanced gravity made him so hungry. "Slow down, boy. You can't fight on an upset stomach." King Kai said as he ate his food too.
"Sorry. But, I want to get as strong as humanly possible." Earl said as he stopped eating and patted his full stomach. "That was good. Ummm... King Kai, you can see things right?"
"Well, of course I can. Everything in the Northern Galaxy, I can see. Why?"
"Do you know where Goku is?"
"I wish I can say." King Kai said with great sorrow. "Goku is neither alive or dead. The Dragons made me not be able to tell where Goku is."
"The Dragons again? Why do they keep things a secret?"
"They are a protective race, Earl. They are created to protect and serve the planet they were born on."
Earl nodded as he looked down. "Do you know about Gakidou?"
King Kai nodded. "Yes. He was a very fierce warrior. Even much worst than Freeza and Bebei. I never told Goku and the others yet because Goku and Vegita would just try to fight him. Saiyans can't resist a good fight. Neither of them would survive."
"What about Torakak?"
"He was lucky to be alive. But that demon kept him alive because of his connection to the sets of Dragon Balls."
Earl rose an eyebrow. "SETS of Dragon Balls? I thought he's only connected to one set."
"I... did! I mean set of Dragon Balls! Silly me. He he. Why don't you go and catch Bubbles again."
"No problem." Earl said as he got up. **This guy's the god of the Northern Galaxy? How did we survive so long?**
*****
Torakak smiled as the correctly fused Demi-Saiyans attacked him at full force. Torakak was impressed at how Gotenks is more controlled and have more reason than before. However, he kept on using attacks that would make him hungry if he needed to eat. "GALACTIC DONUT!"
Torakak managed to get out of the way of the circle and chanted, "JUBIE KAMEHAME HA!!!" He let out a massive red blast and blasted the two down.
Gotenks got up and repeated, "Jubie Kamehame ha?"
"I learned it from Goku." Torakak explained as Gotenks flew at him again.
*****
Vegita flew up on the palace where Dende, Mr. Popo, and Majunor were standing around.
"Where's Torakak?" Vegita demanded.
"In the spirit room." Majunor answered, "Torakak wanted to fight Gotenks."
"Figures. How long?"
"Just a few seconds ago." Dende replied.
The door opened and three worn out, battered, and yet happy trio came out. Dende rushed over and healed the three starting with Torakak since he was the most heavily injured person.
"Did you have fun?" Vegita asked his son.
"Torakak is incredible. He held out on Gotenks."
"You two were good." Torakak said as he stepped aside and let Dende worked on the two Saiyans, "But, neither of you can't rely on Gotenks. He can only last for half an hour. Also, his attitude is still very unstable."
"Okay." Goten said as Dende healed him. "Say, how do you know so much about Gotenks?"
"Oh... Goku told me everything about your planet. The people, the customs, the foods. Definitely foods. Oh, and the fighters."
"Of course Goku would talk about the foods." Trunks muttered.
Vegita smirked, "What did he say about me?"
"That you are his most worthy opponent. You're the reason he's so strong. Like Goku motivated you to be stronger, you motivated him to get stronger." Torakak said truthfully.
"Good. I'm glad he thought so." Vegita said as he walked off.
"What was that about?" Trunks wondered out loud.
*****
A month passed quickly as the warriors trained furiously for the battle. Earl had managed to catch the monkey and bopped Gregory on the head with the mallet. The Z warriors decided to get together just to see how much they improved.
It was festive at the Kame-house as Krillian, 18, Marron, and Rosemary were decorating the place. Rosemary had been using her newly learned flying ability. Unfortunately, the best she could do is hover a foot off of the ground without flying into any walls. It did came in handy when it comes to hanging decorations.
"Rosemary?" a voice asked as Rosemary looked down to see Earl standing there. He was wearing his gi with the 'King Kai' symbol in front.
"Earl!" she exclaimed as she fell down only to be caught by the fast human. "How were things in the Next Dimention?"
"Pretty good." Earl replied as he turned slightly red at the fact that he's holding a cute girl in his arms.
Rosemary got off and smiled. "That's good. I've been learning some Ki tricks and I'm learning how to fly. You?"
"Oh, I think I got stronger. King Kai's training is very unique. He's a great martial artist." He leaned down and whispered, "But one of the worst comedians in the universe."
Rosemary giggled as she heard a definite, **I heard that.**
Yamcha and Lunch came into the house. Krillian glanced at Yamcha's wife. Lunch have blond hair with streaks of blue in it. Her face is an eerie combination of the two personalities. She have her sweet gentle face and yet have those set of hard green eyes. "Lunch! Yamcha!" Krillian greeted, "Where's Dinre?"
"Hey, Krillian. Dinre is with Pu'ar. She's grounded again." Yamcha said as he stepped forward.
"Bummer."
Trunks went up to the husband and wife. "Hey, Yamcha. I was wondering if Dinre could be our flower girl for the wedding?"
"I'll ask her." Lunch promised.
"Are those bets still on?" Yamcha asked Krillian.
"You bet. We've been trying to figure out where Goku is with no luck." Krillian said almost dejected. "I just can't figure it out."
"I'm sure we'll figure it out."
"Torakak sounds so funny. That name." Lunch said as she looked down.
"I guess. But all Namekian names sound a little odd to normal humans." Yamcha reasoned.
"It does sound funny." Krillian said as he frowned. **Torakak. Why is that name so odd sounding to me?**
Soon, everyone gathered in the back yard. Torakak was standing in front of the assembled warrior class. "Okay, now, I thought that we can get together at least once a month to check on each other. The big battle is coming up and we have to get ready. Any questions?"
"I have one. Why are you taking charge of this operation?" Vegita asked as he stepped up.
The group glanced between Vegita and Torakak. It dawned on them. Torakak, despite the fact that he's been on this planet for a month or so, had gained everyone's trust like it was nothing. In fact, the only other person that they would trust their lives to would be Goku. And he's not here since Torakak can't reveal where he is. "It's because, I know what's Gakidou's power is and how powerful he might be." Torakak said with utmost seriousness. "Anyway, we'll go to this small island where we can duel and show off what we learned. I'm real interested to see how much Earl and Rosemary learned in the past month."
Rosemary gulped. What can she do? True, she did learn a few techniques from Krillian but compared to what she saw in the tryouts, she's out of her league.
"Rosemary?" Goten said as he poked the young girl in the arm.
Rosemary came out of her trance and looked at the man. "Yeah? What?"
"We're going to the island. Remember?"
Rosemary looked around to see everyone flying ahead of her. "Damn it." She muttered as she shot into the air.
Goten grabbed her hand. "Come on." He flew under her and caught her in his big muscular arms. Rosemary blushed as he flew toward the small island.
*****
Earl, Majunor, and Rosemary stood there across from the Namekian. "Okay, I want to see how much you guy's learned. Rosemary? Will you show me what you learned by attacking me? I won't fight back."
Rosemary gulped and then glanced at her sensei. Krillian motioned to her to go ahead. "Okay." She rose one hand in the air and yelled out, "DISTRUCTO DISK!!! ENGAGE!" A thin yellow sawblade appeared over her hand and she tossed it right at the Namekian. Torakak dodged in time as the blade came over him.
"Not bad."
Rosemary gestured in a coming back sort of way and said, "But I just guided the disk back."
Torakak glanced behind him and then Rosemary yelled out, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" As she shoot a blast right at the man's chest.
Torakak mentally hit himself on the head as he blocked the blast in time. "Sneaky." He said as he grinned, "Krillian, taught you well."
"Hey, if you have to fight someone stronger, a dirty trick can always help." Rosemary stated as Krillian turned slightly red.
"Okay, any more tricks?"
Rosemary shook her head. "Not really. I learned how to fly and that's it."
"That's good. You've improved a lot in the past month."
"Thank you." Rosemary said as she bowed and walked back to her seat.
Vegita smirked. Her power level had shot up from last he saw her. **At least she didn't have that ridiculous bot of her.** Vegita thought as he felt a small pain in his tail. "What?!" He uncurled his tail to see the small Anti-MB bot biting down at his tail again. "GET OFF!" He growled as he yanked it off and tossed it into the sea. "Girl! Keep that stupid bot away from my tail!" he ordered.
Rosemary gulped as she closed her backpack. **Better not tell him that I have extras.** She thought.
Earl came up. "I'm ready to go."
Torakak nodded. Earl ran up and started to attack. At first, it was the usual punches and kicks. The Namekian blocked off the punches well. "Nice. You're much faster than before." Torakak commented as he let out a light punch and send the human back several feet.
Earl got up and smirked, "Okay, let me show you something cool. POWER OF THE WOLF!!!" In a poof of smoke he transformed into a werewolf. He grinned ferally. "Heh heh. I've worked on my power morphs on King Kai's." He lash out at the stunned Namekian.
Torakak and Earl lash at each other with clawed hands. "Can you do any Ki attacks in that state?" Torakak asked as he tossed a small Ki blast at the transformed writer. The blast hit the fighter and Earl returned to his normal state.
"Damn it." Earl muttered as he got up.
Torakak nodded. "You've gotten much faster and stronger. And your morphing power seemed to have improved too."
"King Kai let me train my morphing power."
"Good. Majunor?"
"About time." Majunor said as he came up to the Namekian. "Let's go."
Majunor and Torakak fought fiercely. Their Ki's flared up as the fighters exchanged punches. Gohan could only stare as Majunor was flung back to the ground. He breathed heavily. "Let's go." he gasped.
Torakak glanced at the group and tossed a small Ki ball at the boy.
The boy smirked and tossed the ball away. "You want to see Ki attacks? I'LL SHOW YOU A Ki ATTACK!!!" Majunor ran at him and Ki flared around him like a blazing sun. "RAGING DEMON!!!" He yelled out as an image of a demon appeared around him and raged out at the Namekian.
Torakak gulped and yelled out, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" The bright blue beam struck the demon like Ki blast and shattered it. The blast knocked the boy far out of the ring where he landed in a thud.
"I lost." He grumbled as he slowly and painfully got up.
"That was a great attack." Gohan complimented as he helped Majunor to his seat. "How did you do that?"
"A little projection of Ki and soul, Mr. Gohan, can do wonders." Majunor said as he grimaced.
"Great job." Torakak said as he grinned to everyone. "I can sense that everyone here is really improving."
"What about me?" Bra asked as she came forward. She was wearing a long body suit that resembled Siayan armor but it shone with a light of it's own.
"Bra?!" Vegita demanded as he came to his daughter, "What are you doing here?! What's the deal with the armor?!"
"I... want to fight." Bra said as she look down, "I know I'm not as strong as you guys but I've been feeling this feeling. Ever since those Namekians came, I've been wanting to do something. I started making this armor a few years ago as a fashionable protection device. But, I've been improving it. I want to fight."
There was silence as the group stared at the young demi-Saiyan. Everyone who knew Bra had always thought that she was the most 'passive' one with Saiyan blood. She never showed a want to fight or a need to fight. But they had nearly forgotten whose daughter she is. Now, they remember that both of her parents are stubborn and love a good adventure and a good fight.
Vegita smiled warmly. "Your Saiyan blood is finally showing through. I wish you would've asked me."
"You never wanted me to fight to die." Bra replied.
"That armor won't help you. Only training will." Vegita said.
"This armor is based off of Saiyan armor, Marron's mother, and a whole lot of droids. This armor can handle a beating."
"You can't rely too heavily on that armor." Torakak suggested.
"Never underestimate technology." Bra said as she put her hands on her hips.
"Okay, attack me." Vegita said as he came up. "I want to see for myself how you fought with that on."
"Okay." Bra said as she picked up a headband like device and put it on her head. She ran up and began to attack him. At first, the moves were slow and weildy. Then, she grabbed Vegita's fists and said, "Power absorbers on."
Vegita felt a familiar drain on his very body. He can remember way back to when he was fighting Android 19 and his Ki was being drained. Vegita pulled his hands back and did several kicks. With greater speed, she counteract the kicks. "GYARIKKU GUN!!!" Bra yelled out as she held out both hands and lash out a massive energy blast.
Vegita was flung several feet before landing. He got up and yelled out, "BIG BANG!!!"
Bra held up her hands as the blast hit them. The Ki blast vanished before their eyes. Bra smiled and ran up and lash out. "My power absorbers can absorb Ki blasts. Cool huh?"
As Vegita was given a savage beating, Goten and the others watched. "I never saw Bra act like that before." Krillian muttered.
"I have." Pan said wide-eyed. "I remember once during gym class, Bra and I were playing dodge ball. It was so hard pulling back. Some mean kids were picking on Bra, that was when she lashed out and threw all those balls back hard."
"There was that one time during the Post-Thanksgiving Christmas Sale." Trunks said, "Bra dove into those shoppers and managed to snatched all of those presents. She came out with a torn shirt and a grin on her face."
Rosemary smiled. "Now, I remember. I was there. I was getting a present for my father and ran into her. We went into a big fight."
Krillian sighed. "Well, she is Bulma and Vegita's daughter."
Vegita blocked off the punches and finally tossed Bra down to the ground. "You did well." He finally said.
"Thanks, Daddy." Bra said as she bowed.
"Yeah." Torakak said as he put a hand on Bra's shoulder. Smoke rose from his hand and he drew it back. "YYYEEEEEOOWWW!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!" The Namekian yelped as he blew on his hand.
Bra smiled helplessly. "Sorry, I didn't tell you that the armor tends to heat up after using the power absorbers. It burns others if it doesn't cool down." She explained as she took off her headband.
"You better work on that." Torakak suggested as he waved his hand. "Ouch."
"I am."
"Can you make more for us?" Goten spoke up.
"I can't." Bra replied, "There are custom made suits. I was working on this way before the Namekians came. It'll take years to make more suits that's based on different power levels."
"Awww..."
"With training, you'll be more powerful." Vegita said, "I want you to train without the suit." He smiled down at the girl. "Perhaps, you can go Super Saiyan."
"This is great. We got another fighter for us." Earl said as he grinned at the girl. "That suit looks great on you."
"Thanks." Bra said, as she turned red.
"Let's go inside. I got a great training videos." Goten spoke up.
"Training videos?" Torakak asked, "Like yours?"
"No way. It's cool. Trust me."
*****
"I don't care WHAT it smells get in there you big hairy brute..." Han Solo said as he shoved his reluctant side kick down the chute.
Gohan frowned as he sipped his beer. "This is your opinion of training movies? Star Wars?!"
"It does show Ki use." Goten replied.
"This is great." Rosemary said, "It's perfect. Aliens and Ki powers."
"It's not like real life." Vegita said, "There's no such thing as Jedi."
"But there's such things as alien princes who want to destroy the world." Goten said as he poked at the Prince.
"True."
*****
"That movie was great!" Earl said as he morphed into old Obe-Wan Kenobie. "Use the force, Luke." He mimicked.
"I love that part in which Princess Leia was shooting down all those goons." Pan said as she pointed both of her fingers.
"What about the second movie?"
*****
"Luke... I am your father."
"NNNNNOOOOO!!!"
"I never expected this." Goten said as he stared at the TV.
"What are you talking about?" Bra asked, "I thought you watched this movie tons of times."
"I did. But, that part always take me by surprise."
Everyone face faulted.
"I swear, this is stupid." Majunor muttered as he crossed his arms.
"It's not. It's very deep." Gohan finally said, "Pretty cool." He looked around to see Torakak and Vegita gone. "Where did Torakak and Vegita went?"
"Dad left during the fight scene." Bra explained, "I guess space movies cause some nasty memories. Torakak and Dad went off to spar."
"Weird. I thought Namekians hate fighting. Except for Piccolo though." Gohan said with almost sadness in his voice.
"No." Bulma said, "Torakak loves fighting. He trains all the time."
"I know. When he and Goten fight, Torakak gets so excited about seeing how much he improved." Chi Chi said as she sighed. "It's just like..." She stopped as she got up.
"Mom?" Gohan asked as he went to his mother.
Chi Chi muttered, "I gotta go. I'll be right back."
She ran off, leaving the group behind.
"That was weird." Pan said, "I wonder what was that about?"
"I don't know." Trunks replied, "Let's watch the tapes."
*****
As the fourth movie played, Goten was chomping on his tenth pizza. "After this, we better stop." Goten suggested after he swallowed his slice. "I got a date in a couple of hours."
"Really?" Rosemary asked, "Who's the lucky lady?"
"Her name is Paris." The phone rang. Rosemary and Goten reached for their phones at the same time.
After a moment of staring at each other, Rosemary checked her phone. "It's mine." She said as she talked to it, "Yeah, Dad? I'm fine. Training at Master Krillian's house has been fun. We're watching movies right now. No, I haven't found any yet. Yes, I'm sure. Bye." She hung up and said, "Parents."
"I know." Pan agreed as she glared at her father. "What's your dad looking for?"
"Oh... stuff for a collection. He collects balls and he asked me to look for any unique balls." Rosemary replied as she looked down.
Pan rose an eyebrow but shook her head. "We'll let you know. As long as your father isn't interested in Dragon Balls, it's cool."
"No problem." Rosemary muttered.
*****
"I am the real Queen Amidala." The girl said as she bowed down.
"That part always surprises me." Goten said.
"That's what you said about the Darth Vadar scene." Trunks observed.
"This one too. I mean, it makes sense if you think about it but who would've thought about the hand maiden being the queen?"
"It's obvious." Rosemary said, "My father always say that the best place to hide someone is right in front of their eyes."
"Yeah." Earl agreed, "I remember once, I was playing hide-n-seek with Pu'ar and he just sat in my stuffed animal collection and lay there. It took me three hours to find him."
"You have a stuffed animal collection?" Bra asked as everyone else looked at him.
"I... ah... used to." Earl said as he turned beet red.
"Maybe, Grandpa is like that." Pan said as she looked up, "I didn't recognize him when he was first turned into a kid."
"We would've noticed him by now." Gohan pointed out, "I know my father. If he was here, he would have to be in disguise. It can't be me, Goten, Trunks or anyone else here that we knew before Dad left. Earl is known by Yamcha. Majunor is too serious to be my father."
At once, everyone glanced at Rosemary. "What?" Rosemary asked as she stood up.
"Where were you nine years ago?" Goten asked.
"I'M NOT GOKU!!!" Rosemary exclaimed as she got out a machine gun and a one handed missile launcher and pointed them at everyone.
Trunks bopped Goten on the head. "Nice try, idiot."
Goten rubbed his head. "Sorry, I guess the movies numbed my mind a little."
"If Goku is here, he must be one of those green guys at Capsule Corps." Rosemary suggested as she lowered her guns.
"The Namekians?" Bra said, "That's possible."
"The only one that's strong enough to be Goku is Torakak." Bulma said. Everyone became silent.
"Dad? Torakak?" Gohan muttered as he thought back to the way Torakak fought and used the Kamehame move. The way he was staring at the food so longingly.
Krillian and the Z warriors started to sweatdropped.
"GOKU'S TORAKAK?!" Krillian exclaimed as everyone else face faulted.
**Looks like I have to play with the kids for a week.** Majunor thought as he scowled. **I don't even know how to play poker.**
"No way!" Goten yelled out, "Dad's a Saiyan! Not a Namekian!"
"The dragon can do many things." Majunor said.
"It makes sense! Torakak spelled backwards is Kakarot, Dad's Saiyan name!" Gohan said as he stared out in shock.
"That's too weird." Pan said as she sweat.
"He called you 'Panny'." Trunks said, "And he was excited about us being married despite the fact that he just met you and... are there such things as Namekian weddings?"
"How can I be so blind?" Gohan moaned as he held his head. "Idiot!"
"Goku's a Namekian?" Tien muttered as all three of his eyes widen.
"Now, I've heard of everything." Videl said as she put her hand on Gohan's shoulder.
"How do we find out if Goku is him?" Earl asked.
"There's only one way." Majunor said as he stood up, "Just ask the Namekian himself."
*****
The entire group flew out to a clearing where they clearly felt Torakak and Vegita's Ki's. Bulma's heart pounded as she was carried by her son. How could she not realize that Goku and Torakak were the same man? She knew Goku ever since he was a small monkey boy. Did Vegita figure it out? He did seem somewhat happy to see the Namekian despite the fact that he's stronger than the prince. **Vegita better not be hiding that from me or he'll be sleeping in the gravity room.** Bulma thought angrily.
Gohan resisted every urge to bang his head on a rock. How can he be so stupid? Why didn't he realize that his father, the man that he respected more than Piccolo, was standing there as another Namekian. He recognized his father back when he was trapped in Captain Ginyu's body and he was just a kid at the time. Why didn't he see it now?
Every person were mentally hitting themselves on the head for not realizing sooner.
*****
Torakak and Vegita traded blows under the night filled sky. A moon crescent shown against the stars. Chi Chi sat on the nimbus sipping some tea that she brought along. Vegita grabbed Torakak's arm and instantly, Torakak released his arm taking the prince by surprise.
With his good arm, he blasted the Saiyan who blocked it off. Chi Chi looked out to see a group of fighters coming their way. She smiled. "Nimbus, take me down to those trees." She ordered the cloud.
The cloud obeyed and she went down just below the tree level.
The group watched in awe as Torakak and Vegita kept on fighting. Torakak glanced down and saw them standing there with dropped jaws. Vegita stopped in midswing and looked at the group. "I think they just figured it out, Torakak." Vegita said as he landed on the ground.
"Maybe. What's up?" He asked Gohan.
Gohan's eyes remained bulged as he tried to asked, "Errr... ahh... I was wondering... we think we figured out where Dad is. Are you him? Is that you, Dad?"
Torakak nodded and smiled. "Yeah. About time you figured it out."
After just a few seconds of processing that bit of information in their brains. Everyone reacted. Pan, and everyone else except for Earl, Rosemary, Majunor, and Vegita ran up and hugged their lost friend.
"GRANDPA!!! I THOUGHT I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" Pan exclaimed as she felt everyone else fighting to hug him.
"So did I." Torakak said as he focused not to get crushed by the onslaught of friendship.
"Oh, Dad... I'm so sorry." Gohan moaned, "I should've recognized you the second I saw you."
"It's okay, son. Can you guys stop for a second? You're crushing me."
The Z warriors let go of their hold and Bulma got up to him. "How did it happen?" She asked.
"The dragon took me to Namek and had me reborn as a Namekian." Torakak explained sadly. "Shenlong told me that the Namekian Dragon Balls were in danger of spawning evil dragons so he had me protect them."
"Why a Namekian?" Trunks asked, "I thought Saiyans were stronger than Namekians."
"They are." Torakak replied, "But, I would make too much of a disturbance if I stay there as a Saiyan. There's not very much food on Namek so I have to will myself not to eat as a Namekian. Any other questions?"
"I got one." Krillian said, "If you were reborn as a Namekian, how come you're an adult right now?"
"That's easy. The same reason Piccolo was an adult despite the fact he was three when we first saw him. Namekians can will themselves to age faster than normal humans. If we have a great deal of experience, we can force our bodies to age with our own Ki. We can't stop our aging completely but we can slow it down again to the point that we can last thousand years."
"So, that's how Kami did it." Yamcha muttered as he recalled Piccolo's godly half.
"Yeah."
"What about the other Namekians?" Majunor asked.
"The elders and some of the healers know. The children aren't supposed to know until much later."
"What are you guys doing out here?" Chi Chi asked as she ran up to the group.
"Mom!" Goten yelped. **What should I tell her? How should I tell her? 'Mom, great news, I found Dad but he's an asexual green alien. At least he's an adult now.'**
"Grandma. Ummm... I think we ahh..." Pan struggled to say.
"No need to say anything. I know about Goku." Chi Chi said as she reached out and took Torakak's green hand.
The group face faulted again. Most of them were expecting Chi Chi fainting or breaking down and crying. "How did you know?" Gohan asked as got up.
"I had some dreams about your father ever since he left. He told me about training and missing food. I have always felt close to Torakak and now, I know why." She wiped a tiny trace of blood from her mouth. "I figured out that Torakak is Goku."
"Are you okay?" Torakak asked.
"I'm fine. Those fangs of yours are sharp." Chi Chi replied as she rubbed a very small cut on her inner lip.
"Oops." Torakak said as he rubbed the back of his head in a very Goku way. "Sorry."
"That's okay."
Vegita crossed his arms in triumph. "Looks like I won the bet." He said as he grinned.
"Wait a second..." Bulma muttered as she glared at her husband. "ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT GOKU OR TORAKAK ALL THIS TIME?!?!" She screamed causing all those with sensitive hearing to cringe.
"Of course I did, woman. I recognized Kakarot's style instantly. I learned to identify others just by the way they fight." Vegita said as Krillian and the others looked at the list. At the bottom it read 'Kakarot is in space as a different type of alien and is on Earth.'
"Damn it." Rosemary said as she tossed down her ticket. She had put down 'Goku is on the dragon somewhere'.
"Is that why you kept on staring at the food so often, Go- Tora- friend?" Trunks asked almost grinning, "Because, Namekians are forbidden to eat?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about it. I don't get hungry. Just thirsty and just call me Torakak."
"What'll happen after the battle?" Yamcha asked, "Will you stay here or go back to New Namek?"
"If I live after that? I don't know. New Namek is gone. We'll just find out after the battle."
"Ummm..." Rosemary said as she rose her hand. "Torakak? Can I speak to you... alone?"
Torakak glanced at the girl to see tears threatening to shed. "Okay." He said as he and the girl flew up and went to the other side of the forest. After a quick Ki check, the Namekian asked, "Okay, what is it?"
Rosemary stared at the ground and said, "I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I feel so guilty for what I did ten years ago." Rosemary said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a picture. "You see... my father knew you ever since you were a little boy with a tail."
"Wait a second... you have blue skin and pointy ears so he's like that? No, don't tell me..." Torakak said as he sweatdropped.
Rosemary nodded and showed him the picture. It was Rosemary sitting next to a very short man with an odd hat with a star on it and a maniacal face. "My father is Pilaf."
Torakak fell over in shock. "YOUR FATHER IS PILAF?! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
Rosemary nodded as she shook from fear. Despite the fact that she had gotten somewhat used to Torakak's green appearance, she still feared him. He was huge with fangs and he looks like a demon. "Uh huh."
Torakak's eyes remained bulged as he got up. "Wow, who's your mother?"
Rosemary glanced up and asked, "Aren't you mad at me?"
"No, should I be?"
Her Ki rose in fear. "Well... I'm also responsible for how you got turned into a kid. You see... ten years ago, I was training with Master Kurin at the tower. At the time, I had my father's Dragon Radar with me because he was looking for the Dragon Balls. I turned it on and there they were. At a distance, there were seven Dragon Balls at a distance but according to the radar there were seven more at Kami's Lookout. Excited, I told Dad about it. At the time, I wanted him to get the Dragon Balls because it would make him happy. So later, my father and I took the radar and used the Power Pole to get up there. I stayed at a distance because there were all sorts of battle sounds and two fighters fighting with great power. The battle stopped and I felt more tense since one of the fighters will attack us. And then, Dad came running back almost pale and we went back down. He told me about how he used the Dragon Balls to wish Goku, you, into a kid. I'm so sorry!" Rosemary shook as she put her face in her hands.
Torakak stared at her. Ever since that faithful night, he had always wondered how did Pilaf went up to the palace with no one looking. He thought he had sensed someone else at the time but he wasn't sure. **Poor girl. No wonder she was so determined not to let anyone else know.** "It's okay." He said softly as he put a hand on her shoulder.
For the briefest second, she flinched.
"Don't worry, I don't bite." Torakak said as he tried not to scare the young girl. "I'm not dangerous. Is that why you wanted to join us? To find me and ask for forgiveness?"
Rosemary nodded. "Yeah. But I also wanted to meet Mr. Hercule Satan myself. I really admired the man until I found out that he's a no good dirty fraud."
Torakak sighed at the still cold words concerning the planet's 'guardian'. She still have sour feelings when it came to the man. "Do you to tell the others?"
"No! Please! I can't let anyone else know that I have Pilaf as my father! It's so humiliating to say that my father wants to take over the world." Rosemary screamed out as tears came out of her eyes.
Torakak nodded. "I won't tell. But I have to warn you, if the gang figured it out on their own, they won't trust you so much." "So, I have to tell them?"
"I guess." "I'll wait later." **Like two and a half years.** she thought to herself.
To Be continued...
Hi! Torakak here! Looks like I finally get to do the endings! Next up, there's love in the air as Pan and Trunks finally tie the knot. It will be a wonderful normal ceremony. But how will the Minster react to seeing me and several of my non-human friends? And who's that dancing with Goten? Hey! Looks like we're going to have lots of friends both dead and alive here too! This will be one fun wedding!

Dragon Balls GN
Chapter Three
Let the Training Begin!
Rosemary looked around the small island with her luggage in hand. It was a fairly big island with houses not too far away as well as a huge jungle. In one bag was her usual outfits, makeup, and hair accessories and in the other bag was her usual assortment of weapons.
"Hey, Rosemary!" Krillian said as he came forward. Rosemary put down her bags and bowed down to the smaller man.
"Hello, Master Krillian." She said in a calm voice.
Krillian bowed back and said, "Are you ready for some intense training?"
"You bet." Rosemary said as Krillian gestured to follow him.
"Good. Now, first, no weapons. You can't depend completely on weapons in a fight." Rosemary scowled but handed the former monk the weapons suitcase.
"Thanks. Now, how about a warm-up?" Krillian said as he picked up a rock. He drew something on it. "Here." He said as he wrote the word 'Turtle' on it.
"I see it."
"Now, memorize it." Krillian said as the girl stared at it. "Got it?" He asked.
Rosemary only nodded.
"Good." He looked into the vast jungle and tossed the rock into the trees.
"Oh no." She moaned as she stared at the trees.
"Now, your first task is to look for that rock. And don't try making another copy; I know my handwriting. No gadgets either. As soon as you're done, you can eat."
"A tiny rock in all that?" Rosemary asked looking down. "It's impossible."
"Goku and I found it in half an hour. You can do it now. Oh, and if you can't find it in half an hour, no lunch for you."
Rosemary gulped and ran over to the vast jungle.
*****
Earl Grey sighed as he ran down the long bridge to the King Kai's planet. Normally, a person has to die in order to train under King Kai but now Dende has special permission to let the living on King Kai's planet but only one at a time and that person wouldn't be allowed to visit any dead love ones. It was fine by him since he really doesn't want to visit any dead people.
After several hours of running, he finally came to the end of the bridge and hovering a mile over the end was a small planet with a house and several trees on it. Earl took several steps back and run forward. With grace, he flung himself on to the planet and landed with a thud. He felt his entire body weigh down on the planet itself. Slowly, he got up and stood as tall as he could.
"King Kai?" He asked as he looked around.
A strange blue man came out of the house caring a tea tray. His skin was as blue as Rosemary's. His face looked like something like a catfish with sunglasses. "You must be Earl Grey. I'm King Kai. My, this is the first time I get to train a live one. Get it? *snicker* Live? You're alive right?"
"Last time I checked." Earl quipped as he remembered Yamcha's warning about King Kai's bad jokes.
"Huh? Oh! Good one! Now, I know you're itching to do some training. So, the first one is... make me laugh."
Earl's eyes bulged as he fell over. "Okay." He muttered as he sat up. He stood slowly and grinned. His body glowed as King Kai watched with fascination. "Morph!" he yelled out as a poof of smoke overcame him and in his place was Vegita dressed in a school boy's outfit. In a good impersonation of the Saiyan prince he sang, "I'm a little tea pot short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout. When I get all steamed up here me shout. Tip me over and pour me out."
King Kai fell over in laughter as he watched the transformed man kept on singing. "Okay! Okay! You're in! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA *SNORT*!"
*****
Meanwhile, Rosemary ran along the ground where she thought she last saw the rock. "Oh, this is ridiculous, who ever heard of finding a tiny rock in this huge jungle? Maybe, I should use it." She closed her eyes and took out her sword. Air rippled around her as she looked around. A deep feeling crept up to her. With closed eyes, she followed the deep feeling until it grew strong. She opened her eyes and looked around the ground for a few minutes and saw the rock next to a group of eggs. "All right!"
She walked up and grabbed the rock. Suddenly, a roar came out of nowhere and she looked up to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing over her. "HELP!!!" she cried out as she ran through the jungle with rock in hand.
In record time, she ran out of the jungle and up to the cliff where Krillian was waiting with a stopwatch. "You just about made it." Krillian said as he held it up. "Let me see your rock." He looked at it and grinned. "Yup. You did it. I'm impressed. Okay, how did you do it?"
"I used my women's intuition."
"Okay. Well, let's go and have some lunch." Krillian said as the two walked into the house.
Rosemary looked around as she noticed her luggage sitting to the side. A young woman with long blond hair was sitting in a chair with textbooks around her. She looked up and said, "Hi. I'm Marron."
"Rosemary." The two shake hands.
"I saw you at the tryouts. You're great."
"I wish. The way Earl and that Goten guy fought and the green guy 'Toracake'. They didn't even use weapons."
"Goten's much older than you. Earl trains in the martial arts. Tora_kak_ isn't human." Krillian explained, "I'll teach you how to use your Ki. When I'm done with you, those weapons your father gave you will be outdated."
"Really? I can do that Kame blast?"
"Sure you can. You just need to learn to channel your Ki. You have a very strong Ki." Krillian sensed, "Let's get started."
"Okay, first off, what's Ki?"
"Huh? Oh!" Krillian laughed at the girl's question. "It's your life force. It's what powers all living beings. Everyone and everything has Ki. But only a few can use it like a weapon. After Lunch, I can show you."
*****
King Kai sipped at his tea as Earl ran passed him for the tenth time in pursuit of the monkey. The Guardian of the Northern Galaxy grinned to himself. Bubbles and Gregory had been through their own fair share of training over the years. Despite the fact that Earl's power is much more than Goku was when he first trained, Bubbles was avoiding his grasp with embarrassing ease.
He sighed as he fondly recalled back when Goku first came here. The frustration of the chase and the joy of catching the monkey. Now, this young man who's the son of one of his other former students is doing the task. He glanced at his watch and realized that the boy must be getting hungry. "Break time!" King Kai bellowed as the two stopped.
*****
Majunor and Goten traded blows as most of the Z warriors fought in the palace. Dende and Mr. Popo stared with looks of disbelief and fear in their eyes. "Majunor is good." Dende commented.
"Do you think it's him?" Mr. Popo asked hopefully.
"I'm sure." Dende nodded. "He's the right age and he knows this place just as well as you."
Goten and Majunor landed breathing heavily. The demi-Saiyan was holding his left hand while Majunor have his hand on his stomach in pain. Dende ran to the two and used his mystical healing power on them.
Goten glanced at Majunor and said, "You're strong, Majunor. How do you do it?"
"I eat my vegetables and exercise every day." Majunor replied smirking.
Dende smiled at Majunor's remark. Goten looked at Majunor oddly. "Okay." Goten said as he sat down tired.
"Eating healthy does make a good fighter." Torakak said as he came up.
"This is coming from a guy who never ate before." Goten muttered as he got up.
"Yeah... well... if you need to eat, eat healthy foods. Anyway, your technique is good. But, you need to work on your punches. Try this." Torakak did the same series of punches Goten used but in a more fluid motion.
Goten copied the move perfectly. "I know how to fight."
"I know you do. Have you and Trunks fused into Gotenks lately?"
"Not really." Goten replied, "How did you know about... let me guess Dad told you?"
"You might say that." Torakak said as he looked down at Majunor. "You did pretty good yourself. But you can do much better."
"Pretty good?" Trunks repeated, "That kid is stronger than I was back when I was his age!"
"So? Torakak's right. I'm not up to my standards."
**Up to his standards? Dende, what does he mean?** Goten thought.
**I can't say.** Dende replied.
**IT'S A RETORICAL QUESTION!**
**Sorry.**
"Why don't you two, Goten and Trunks, fuse and fight me?"
"Are you sure?" Goten asked uncertain, "I mean, Gotenks is powerful."
"Exactly, I need to fight someone more powerful than me and since Gohan left for a class, I thought that Gotenks will give me a good idea on how my power is."
Trunks and Goten glanced at each other evilly. They had never met a Namekian that's this eager for a good fight. "Okay." Trunks said grinning.
"Wait!" Dende exclaimed as he waved his hands, "Fight in the Spirit Room of Spirit and Time. The Palace isn't looking too good."
Torakak and everyone else looked at the Palace which was on the verge of collapse again. "Oh, yeah that would be a good idea." he squeaked as everyone fell over.
*****
Goten and Trunks stood side by side in front of the Namekian. Torakak went into fighter's position. "Okay, fuse."
The two haven't fuse in over twenty years. During the years, they never needed to fuse. "It's been a while." Goten said excitedly. "Ready?"
"Let's just go." Trunks said as they went into Fusion pose. They danced the dance that joined them together in every possible way. It made their souls become one as well as their bodies.
A bright flash flared out as Torakak watched in awe and then face faulted. Standing there was a very fat man with black and purple hair. "Oops." Fat Gotenks said as Torakak got up.
"Looks like we wait a half hour." Torakak said as he lay down.
*****
Earl ate his food with great speed. He wanted to catch the monkey so much and all that running with the enhanced gravity made him so hungry. "Slow down, boy. You can't fight on an upset stomach." King Kai said as he ate his food too.
"Sorry. But, I want to get as strong as humanly possible." Earl said as he stopped eating and patted his full stomach. "That was good. Ummm... King Kai, you can see things right?"
"Well, of course I can. Everything in the Northern Galaxy, I can see. Why?"
"Do you know where Goku is?"
"I wish I can say." King Kai said with great sorrow. "Goku is neither alive or dead. The Dragons made me not be able to tell where Goku is."
"The Dragons again? Why do they keep things a secret?"
"They are a protective race, Earl. They are created to protect and serve the planet they were born on."
Earl nodded as he looked down. "Do you know about Gakidou?"
King Kai nodded. "Yes. He was a very fierce warrior. Even much worst than Freeza and Bebei. I never told Goku and the others yet because Goku and Vegita would just try to fight him. Saiyans can't resist a good fight. Neither of them would survive."
"What about Torakak?"
"He was lucky to be alive. But that demon kept him alive because of his connection to the sets of Dragon Balls."
Earl rose an eyebrow. "SETS of Dragon Balls? I thought he's only connected to one set."
"I... did! I mean set of Dragon Balls! Silly me. He he. Why don't you go and catch Bubbles again."
"No problem." Earl said as he got up. **This guy's the god of the Northern Galaxy? How did we survive so long?**
*****
Torakak smiled as the correctly fused Demi-Saiyans attacked him at full force. Torakak was impressed at how Gotenks is more controlled and have more reason than before. However, he kept on using attacks that would make him hungry if he needed to eat. "GALACTIC DONUT!"
Torakak managed to get out of the way of the circle and chanted, "JUBIE KAMEHAME HA!!!" He let out a massive red blast and blasted the two down.
Gotenks got up and repeated, "Jubie Kamehame ha?"
"I learned it from Goku." Torakak explained as Gotenks flew at him again.
*****
Vegita flew up on the palace where Dende, Mr. Popo, and Majunor were standing around.
"Where's Torakak?" Vegita demanded.
"In the spirit room." Majunor answered, "Torakak wanted to fight Gotenks."
"Figures. How long?"
"Just a few seconds ago." Dende replied.
The door opened and three worn out, battered, and yet happy trio came out. Dende rushed over and healed the three starting with Torakak since he was the most heavily injured person.
"Did you have fun?" Vegita asked his son.
"Torakak is incredible. He held out on Gotenks."
"You two were good." Torakak said as he stepped aside and let Dende worked on the two Saiyans, "But, neither of you can't rely on Gotenks. He can only last for half an hour. Also, his attitude is still very unstable."
"Okay." Goten said as Dende healed him. "Say, how do you know so much about Gotenks?"
"Oh... Goku told me everything about your planet. The people, the customs, the foods. Definitely foods. Oh, and the fighters."
"Of course Goku would talk about the foods." Trunks muttered.
Vegita smirked, "What did he say about me?"
"That you are his most worthy opponent. You're the reason he's so strong. Like Goku motivated you to be stronger, you motivated him to get stronger." Torakak said truthfully.
"Good. I'm glad he thought so." Vegita said as he walked off.
"What was that about?" Trunks wondered out loud.
*****
A month passed quickly as the warriors trained furiously for the battle. Earl had managed to catch the monkey and bopped Gregory on the head with the mallet. The Z warriors decided to get together just to see how much they improved.
It was festive at the Kame-house as Krillian, 18, Marron, and Rosemary were decorating the place. Rosemary had been using her newly learned flying ability. Unfortunately, the best she could do is hover a foot off of the ground without flying into any walls. It did came in handy when it comes to hanging decorations.
"Rosemary?" a voice asked as Rosemary looked down to see Earl standing there. He was wearing his gi with the 'King Kai' symbol in front.
"Earl!" she exclaimed as she fell down only to be caught by the fast human. "How were things in the Next Dimention?"
"Pretty good." Earl replied as he turned slightly red at the fact that he's holding a cute girl in his arms.
Rosemary got off and smiled. "That's good. I've been learning some Ki tricks and I'm learning how to fly. You?"
"Oh, I think I got stronger. King Kai's training is very unique. He's a great martial artist." He leaned down and whispered, "But one of the worst comedians in the universe."
Rosemary giggled as she heard a definite, **I heard that.**
Yamcha and Lunch came into the house. Krillian glanced at Yamcha's wife. Lunch have blond hair with streaks of blue in it. Her face is an eerie combination of the two personalities. She have her sweet gentle face and yet have those set of hard green eyes. "Lunch! Yamcha!" Krillian greeted, "Where's Dinre?"
"Hey, Krillian. Dinre is with Pu'ar. She's grounded again." Yamcha said as he stepped forward.
"Bummer."
Trunks went up to the husband and wife. "Hey, Yamcha. I was wondering if Dinre could be our flower girl for the wedding?"
"I'll ask her." Lunch promised.
"Are those bets still on?" Yamcha asked Krillian.
"You bet. We've been trying to figure out where Goku is with no luck." Krillian said almost dejected. "I just can't figure it out."
"I'm sure we'll figure it out."
"Torakak sounds so funny. That name." Lunch said as she looked down.
"I guess. But all Namekian names sound a little odd to normal humans." Yamcha reasoned.
"It does sound funny." Krillian said as he frowned. **Torakak. Why is that name so odd sounding to me?**
Soon, everyone gathered in the back yard. Torakak was standing in front of the assembled warrior class. "Okay, now, I thought that we can get together at least once a month to check on each other. The big battle is coming up and we have to get ready. Any questions?"
"I have one. Why are you taking charge of this operation?" Vegita asked as he stepped up.
The group glanced between Vegita and Torakak. It dawned on them. Torakak, despite the fact that he's been on this planet for a month or so, had gained everyone's trust like it was nothing. In fact, the only other person that they would trust their lives to would be Goku. And he's not here since Torakak can't reveal where he is. "It's because, I know what's Gakidou's power is and how powerful he might be." Torakak said with utmost seriousness. "Anyway, we'll go to this small island where we can duel and show off what we learned. I'm real interested to see how much Earl and Rosemary learned in the past month."
Rosemary gulped. What can she do? True, she did learn a few techniques from Krillian but compared to what she saw in the tryouts, she's out of her league.
"Rosemary?" Goten said as he poked the young girl in the arm.
Rosemary came out of her trance and looked at the man. "Yeah? What?"
"We're going to the island. Remember?"
Rosemary looked around to see everyone flying ahead of her. "Damn it." She muttered as she shot into the air.
Goten grabbed her hand. "Come on." He flew under her and caught her in his big muscular arms. Rosemary blushed as he flew toward the small island.
*****
Earl, Majunor, and Rosemary stood there across from the Namekian. "Okay, I want to see how much you guy's learned. Rosemary? Will you show me what you learned by attacking me? I won't fight back."
Rosemary gulped and then glanced at her sensei. Krillian motioned to her to go ahead. "Okay." She rose one hand in the air and yelled out, "DISTRUCTO DISK!!! ENGAGE!" A thin yellow sawblade appeared over her hand and she tossed it right at the Namekian. Torakak dodged in time as the blade came over him.
"Not bad."
Rosemary gestured in a coming back sort of way and said, "But I just guided the disk back."
Torakak glanced behind him and then Rosemary yelled out, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" As she shoot a blast right at the man's chest.
Torakak mentally hit himself on the head as he blocked the blast in time. "Sneaky." He said as he grinned, "Krillian, taught you well."
"Hey, if you have to fight someone stronger, a dirty trick can always help." Rosemary stated as Krillian turned slightly red.
"Okay, any more tricks?"
Rosemary shook her head. "Not really. I learned how to fly and that's it."
"That's good. You've improved a lot in the past month."
"Thank you." Rosemary said as she bowed and walked back to her seat.
Vegita smirked. Her power level had shot up from last he saw her. **At least she didn't have that ridiculous bot of her.** Vegita thought as he felt a small pain in his tail. "What?!" He uncurled his tail to see the small Anti-MB bot biting down at his tail again. "GET OFF!" He growled as he yanked it off and tossed it into the sea. "Girl! Keep that stupid bot away from my tail!" he ordered.
Rosemary gulped as she closed her backpack. **Better not tell him that I have extras.** She thought.
Earl came up. "I'm ready to go."
Torakak nodded. Earl ran up and started to attack. At first, it was the usual punches and kicks. The Namekian blocked off the punches well. "Nice. You're much faster than before." Torakak commented as he let out a light punch and send the human back several feet.
Earl got up and smirked, "Okay, let me show you something cool. POWER OF THE WOLF!!!" In a poof of smoke he transformed into a werewolf. He grinned ferally. "Heh heh. I've worked on my power morphs on King Kai's." He lash out at the stunned Namekian.
Torakak and Earl lash at each other with clawed hands. "Can you do any Ki attacks in that state?" Torakak asked as he tossed a small Ki blast at the transformed writer. The blast hit the fighter and Earl returned to his normal state.
"Damn it." Earl muttered as he got up.
Torakak nodded. "You've gotten much faster and stronger. And your morphing power seemed to have improved too."
"King Kai let me train my morphing power."
"Good. Majunor?"
"About time." Majunor said as he came up to the Namekian. "Let's go."
Majunor and Torakak fought fiercely. Their Ki's flared up as the fighters exchanged punches. Gohan could only stare as Majunor was flung back to the ground. He breathed heavily. "Let's go." he gasped.
Torakak glanced at the group and tossed a small Ki ball at the boy.
The boy smirked and tossed the ball away. "You want to see Ki attacks? I'LL SHOW YOU A Ki ATTACK!!!" Majunor ran at him and Ki flared around him like a blazing sun. "RAGING DEMON!!!" He yelled out as an image of a demon appeared around him and raged out at the Namekian.
Torakak gulped and yelled out, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" The bright blue beam struck the demon like Ki blast and shattered it. The blast knocked the boy far out of the ring where he landed in a thud.
"I lost." He grumbled as he slowly and painfully got up.
"That was a great attack." Gohan complimented as he helped Majunor to his seat. "How did you do that?"
"A little projection of Ki and soul, Mr. Gohan, can do wonders." Majunor said as he grimaced.
"Great job." Torakak said as he grinned to everyone. "I can sense that everyone here is really improving."
"What about me?" Bra asked as she came forward. She was wearing a long body suit that resembled Siayan armor but it shone with a light of it's own.
"Bra?!" Vegita demanded as he came to his daughter, "What are you doing here?! What's the deal with the armor?!"
"I... want to fight." Bra said as she look down, "I know I'm not as strong as you guys but I've been feeling this feeling. Ever since those Namekians came, I've been wanting to do something. I started making this armor a few years ago as a fashionable protection device. But, I've been improving it. I want to fight."
There was silence as the group stared at the young demi-Saiyan. Everyone who knew Bra had always thought that she was the most 'passive' one with Saiyan blood. She never showed a want to fight or a need to fight. But they had nearly forgotten whose daughter she is. Now, they remember that both of her parents are stubborn and love a good adventure and a good fight.
Vegita smiled warmly. "Your Saiyan blood is finally showing through. I wish you would've asked me."
"You never wanted me to fight to die." Bra replied.
"That armor won't help you. Only training will." Vegita said.
"This armor is based off of Saiyan armor, Marron's mother, and a whole lot of droids. This armor can handle a beating."
"You can't rely too heavily on that armor." Torakak suggested.
"Never underestimate technology." Bra said as she put her hands on her hips.
"Okay, attack me." Vegita said as he came up. "I want to see for myself how you fought with that on."
"Okay." Bra said as she picked up a headband like device and put it on her head. She ran up and began to attack him. At first, the moves were slow and weildy. Then, she grabbed Vegita's fists and said, "Power absorbers on."
Vegita felt a familiar drain on his very body. He can remember way back to when he was fighting Android 19 and his Ki was being drained. Vegita pulled his hands back and did several kicks. With greater speed, she counteract the kicks. "GYARIKKU GUN!!!" Bra yelled out as she held out both hands and lash out a massive energy blast.
Vegita was flung several feet before landing. He got up and yelled out, "BIG BANG!!!"
Bra held up her hands as the blast hit them. The Ki blast vanished before their eyes. Bra smiled and ran up and lash out. "My power absorbers can absorb Ki blasts. Cool huh?"
As Vegita was given a savage beating, Goten and the others watched. "I never saw Bra act like that before." Krillian muttered.
"I have." Pan said wide-eyed. "I remember once during gym class, Bra and I were playing dodge ball. It was so hard pulling back. Some mean kids were picking on Bra, that was when she lashed out and threw all those balls back hard."
"There was that one time during the Post-Thanksgiving Christmas Sale." Trunks said, "Bra dove into those shoppers and managed to snatched all of those presents. She came out with a torn shirt and a grin on her face."
Rosemary smiled. "Now, I remember. I was there. I was getting a present for my father and ran into her. We went into a big fight."
Krillian sighed. "Well, she is Bulma and Vegita's daughter."
Vegita blocked off the punches and finally tossed Bra down to the ground. "You did well." He finally said.
"Thanks, Daddy." Bra said as she bowed.
"Yeah." Torakak said as he put a hand on Bra's shoulder. Smoke rose from his hand and he drew it back. "YYYEEEEEOOWWW!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!" The Namekian yelped as he blew on his hand.
Bra smiled helplessly. "Sorry, I didn't tell you that the armor tends to heat up after using the power absorbers. It burns others if it doesn't cool down." She explained as she took off her headband.
"You better work on that." Torakak suggested as he waved his hand. "Ouch."
"I am."
"Can you make more for us?" Goten spoke up.
"I can't." Bra replied, "There are custom made suits. I was working on this way before the Namekians came. It'll take years to make more suits that's based on different power levels."
"Awww..."
"With training, you'll be more powerful." Vegita said, "I want you to train without the suit." He smiled down at the girl. "Perhaps, you can go Super Saiyan."
"This is great. We got another fighter for us." Earl said as he grinned at the girl. "That suit looks great on you."
"Thanks." Bra said, as she turned red.
"Let's go inside. I got a great training videos." Goten spoke up.
"Training videos?" Torakak asked, "Like yours?"
"No way. It's cool. Trust me."
*****
"I don't care WHAT it smells get in there you big hairy brute..." Han Solo said as he shoved his reluctant side kick down the chute.
Gohan frowned as he sipped his beer. "This is your opinion of training movies? Star Wars?!"
"It does show Ki use." Goten replied.
"This is great." Rosemary said, "It's perfect. Aliens and Ki powers."
"It's not like real life." Vegita said, "There's no such thing as Jedi."
"But there's such things as alien princes who want to destroy the world." Goten said as he poked at the Prince.
"True."
*****
"That movie was great!" Earl said as he morphed into old Obe-Wan Kenobie. "Use the force, Luke." He mimicked.
"I love that part in which Princess Leia was shooting down all those goons." Pan said as she pointed both of her fingers.
"What about the second movie?"
*****
"Luke... I am your father."
"NNNNNOOOOO!!!"
"I never expected this." Goten said as he stared at the TV.
"What are you talking about?" Bra asked, "I thought you watched this movie tons of times."
"I did. But, that part always take me by surprise."
Everyone face faulted.
"I swear, this is stupid." Majunor muttered as he crossed his arms.
"It's not. It's very deep." Gohan finally said, "Pretty cool." He looked around to see Torakak and Vegita gone. "Where did Torakak and Vegita went?"
"Dad left during the fight scene." Bra explained, "I guess space movies cause some nasty memories. Torakak and Dad went off to spar."
"Weird. I thought Namekians hate fighting. Except for Piccolo though." Gohan said with almost sadness in his voice.
"No." Bulma said, "Torakak loves fighting. He trains all the time."
"I know. When he and Goten fight, Torakak gets so excited about seeing how much he improved." Chi Chi said as she sighed. "It's just like..." She stopped as she got up.
"Mom?" Gohan asked as he went to his mother.
Chi Chi muttered, "I gotta go. I'll be right back."
She ran off, leaving the group behind.
"That was weird." Pan said, "I wonder what was that about?"
"I don't know." Trunks replied, "Let's watch the tapes."
*****
As the fourth movie played, Goten was chomping on his tenth pizza. "After this, we better stop." Goten suggested after he swallowed his slice. "I got a date in a couple of hours."
"Really?" Rosemary asked, "Who's the lucky lady?"
"Her name is Paris." The phone rang. Rosemary and Goten reached for their phones at the same time.
After a moment of staring at each other, Rosemary checked her phone. "It's mine." She said as she talked to it, "Yeah, Dad? I'm fine. Training at Master Krillian's house has been fun. We're watching movies right now. No, I haven't found any yet. Yes, I'm sure. Bye." She hung up and said, "Parents."
"I know." Pan agreed as she glared at her father. "What's your dad looking for?"
"Oh... stuff for a collection. He collects balls and he asked me to look for any unique balls." Rosemary replied as she looked down.
Pan rose an eyebrow but shook her head. "We'll let you know. As long as your father isn't interested in Dragon Balls, it's cool."
"No problem." Rosemary muttered.
*****
"I am the real Queen Amidala." The girl said as she bowed down.
"That part always surprises me." Goten said.
"That's what you said about the Darth Vadar scene." Trunks observed.
"This one too. I mean, it makes sense if you think about it but who would've thought about the hand maiden being the queen?"
"It's obvious." Rosemary said, "My father always say that the best place to hide someone is right in front of their eyes."
"Yeah." Earl agreed, "I remember once, I was playing hide-n-seek with Pu'ar and he just sat in my stuffed animal collection and lay there. It took me three hours to find him."
"You have a stuffed animal collection?" Bra asked as everyone else looked at him.
"I... ah... used to." Earl said as he turned beet red.
"Maybe, Grandpa is like that." Pan said as she looked up, "I didn't recognize him when he was first turned into a kid."
"We would've noticed him by now." Gohan pointed out, "I know my father. If he was here, he would have to be in disguise. It can't be me, Goten, Trunks or anyone else here that we knew before Dad left. Earl is known by Yamcha. Majunor is too serious to be my father."
At once, everyone glanced at Rosemary. "What?" Rosemary asked as she stood up.
"Where were you nine years ago?" Goten asked.
"I'M NOT GOKU!!!" Rosemary exclaimed as she got out a machine gun and a one handed missile launcher and pointed them at everyone.
Trunks bopped Goten on the head. "Nice try, idiot."
Goten rubbed his head. "Sorry, I guess the movies numbed my mind a little."
"If Goku is here, he must be one of those green guys at Capsule Corps." Rosemary suggested as she lowered her guns.
"The Namekians?" Bra said, "That's possible."
"The only one that's strong enough to be Goku is Torakak." Bulma said. Everyone became silent.
"Dad? Torakak?" Gohan muttered as he thought back to the way Torakak fought and used the Kamehame move. The way he was staring at the food so longingly.
Krillian and the Z warriors started to sweatdropped.
"GOKU'S TORAKAK?!" Krillian exclaimed as everyone else face faulted.
**Looks like I have to play with the kids for a week.** Majunor thought as he scowled. **I don't even know how to play poker.**
"No way!" Goten yelled out, "Dad's a Saiyan! Not a Namekian!"
"The dragon can do many things." Majunor said.
"It makes sense! Torakak spelled backwards is Kakarot, Dad's Saiyan name!" Gohan said as he stared out in shock.
"That's too weird." Pan said as she sweat.
"He called you 'Panny'." Trunks said, "And he was excited about us being married despite the fact that he just met you and... are there such things as Namekian weddings?"
"How can I be so blind?" Gohan moaned as he held his head. "Idiot!"
"Goku's a Namekian?" Tien muttered as all three of his eyes widen.
"Now, I've heard of everything." Videl said as she put her hand on Gohan's shoulder.
"How do we find out if Goku is him?" Earl asked.
"There's only one way." Majunor said as he stood up, "Just ask the Namekian himself."
*****
The entire group flew out to a clearing where they clearly felt Torakak and Vegita's Ki's. Bulma's heart pounded as she was carried by her son. How could she not realize that Goku and Torakak were the same man? She knew Goku ever since he was a small monkey boy. Did Vegita figure it out? He did seem somewhat happy to see the Namekian despite the fact that he's stronger than the prince. **Vegita better not be hiding that from me or he'll be sleeping in the gravity room.** Bulma thought angrily.
Gohan resisted every urge to bang his head on a rock. How can he be so stupid? Why didn't he realize that his father, the man that he respected more than Piccolo, was standing there as another Namekian. He recognized his father back when he was trapped in Captain Ginyu's body and he was just a kid at the time. Why didn't he see it now?
Every person were mentally hitting themselves on the head for not realizing sooner.
*****
Torakak and Vegita traded blows under the night filled sky. A moon crescent shown against the stars. Chi Chi sat on the nimbus sipping some tea that she brought along. Vegita grabbed Torakak's arm and instantly, Torakak released his arm taking the prince by surprise.
With his good arm, he blasted the Saiyan who blocked it off. Chi Chi looked out to see a group of fighters coming their way. She smiled. "Nimbus, take me down to those trees." She ordered the cloud.
The cloud obeyed and she went down just below the tree level.
The group watched in awe as Torakak and Vegita kept on fighting. Torakak glanced down and saw them standing there with dropped jaws. Vegita stopped in midswing and looked at the group. "I think they just figured it out, Torakak." Vegita said as he landed on the ground.
"Maybe. What's up?" He asked Gohan.
Gohan's eyes remained bulged as he tried to asked, "Errr... ahh... I was wondering... we think we figured out where Dad is. Are you him? Is that you, Dad?"
Torakak nodded and smiled. "Yeah. About time you figured it out."
After just a few seconds of processing that bit of information in their brains. Everyone reacted. Pan, and everyone else except for Earl, Rosemary, Majunor, and Vegita ran up and hugged their lost friend.
"GRANDPA!!! I THOUGHT I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" Pan exclaimed as she felt everyone else fighting to hug him.
"So did I." Torakak said as he focused not to get crushed by the onslaught of friendship.
"Oh, Dad... I'm so sorry." Gohan moaned, "I should've recognized you the second I saw you."
"It's okay, son. Can you guys stop for a second? You're crushing me."
The Z warriors let go of their hold and Bulma got up to him. "How did it happen?" She asked.
"The dragon took me to Namek and had me reborn as a Namekian." Torakak explained sadly. "Shenlong told me that the Namekian Dragon Balls were in danger of spawning evil dragons so he had me protect them."
"Why a Namekian?" Trunks asked, "I thought Saiyans were stronger than Namekians."
"They are." Torakak replied, "But, I would make too much of a disturbance if I stay there as a Saiyan. There's not very much food on Namek so I have to will myself not to eat as a Namekian. Any other questions?"
"I got one." Krillian said, "If you were reborn as a Namekian, how come you're an adult right now?"
"That's easy. The same reason Piccolo was an adult despite the fact he was three when we first saw him. Namekians can will themselves to age faster than normal humans. If we have a great deal of experience, we can force our bodies to age with our own Ki. We can't stop our aging completely but we can slow it down again to the point that we can last thousand years."
"So, that's how Kami did it." Yamcha muttered as he recalled Piccolo's godly half.
"Yeah."
"What about the other Namekians?" Majunor asked.
"The elders and some of the healers know. The children aren't supposed to know until much later."
"What are you guys doing out here?" Chi Chi asked as she ran up to the group.
"Mom!" Goten yelped. **What should I tell her? How should I tell her? 'Mom, great news, I found Dad but he's an asexual green alien. At least he's an adult now.'**
"Grandma. Ummm... I think we ahh..." Pan struggled to say.
"No need to say anything. I know about Goku." Chi Chi said as she reached out and took Torakak's green hand.
The group face faulted again. Most of them were expecting Chi Chi fainting or breaking down and crying. "How did you know?" Gohan asked as got up.
"I had some dreams about your father ever since he left. He told me about training and missing food. I have always felt close to Torakak and now, I know why." She wiped a tiny trace of blood from her mouth. "I figured out that Torakak is Goku."
"Are you okay?" Torakak asked.
"I'm fine. Those fangs of yours are sharp." Chi Chi replied as she rubbed a very small cut on her inner lip.
"Oops." Torakak said as he rubbed the back of his head in a very Goku way. "Sorry."
"That's okay."
Vegita crossed his arms in triumph. "Looks like I won the bet." He said as he grinned.
"Wait a second..." Bulma muttered as she glared at her husband. "ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT GOKU OR TORAKAK ALL THIS TIME?!?!" She screamed causing all those with sensitive hearing to cringe.
"Of course I did, woman. I recognized Kakarot's style instantly. I learned to identify others just by the way they fight." Vegita said as Krillian and the others looked at the list. At the bottom it read 'Kakarot is in space as a different type of alien and is on Earth.'
"Damn it." Rosemary said as she tossed down her ticket. She had put down 'Goku is on the dragon somewhere'.
"Is that why you kept on staring at the food so often, Go- Tora- friend?" Trunks asked almost grinning, "Because, Namekians are forbidden to eat?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about it. I don't get hungry. Just thirsty and just call me Torakak."
"What'll happen after the battle?" Yamcha asked, "Will you stay here or go back to New Namek?"
"If I live after that? I don't know. New Namek is gone. We'll just find out after the battle."
"Ummm..." Rosemary said as she rose her hand. "Torakak? Can I speak to you... alone?"
Torakak glanced at the girl to see tears threatening to shed. "Okay." He said as he and the girl flew up and went to the other side of the forest. After a quick Ki check, the Namekian asked, "Okay, what is it?"
Rosemary stared at the ground and said, "I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I feel so guilty for what I did ten years ago." Rosemary said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a picture. "You see... my father knew you ever since you were a little boy with a tail."
"Wait a second... you have blue skin and pointy ears so he's like that? No, don't tell me..." Torakak said as he sweatdropped.
Rosemary nodded and showed him the picture. It was Rosemary sitting next to a very short man with an odd hat with a star on it and a maniacal face. "My father is Pilaf."
Torakak fell over in shock. "YOUR FATHER IS PILAF?! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
Rosemary nodded as she shook from fear. Despite the fact that she had gotten somewhat used to Torakak's green appearance, she still feared him. He was huge with fangs and he looks like a demon. "Uh huh."
Torakak's eyes remained bulged as he got up. "Wow, who's your mother?"
Rosemary glanced up and asked, "Aren't you mad at me?"
"No, should I be?"
Her Ki rose in fear. "Well... I'm also responsible for how you got turned into a kid. You see... ten years ago, I was training with Master Kurin at the tower. At the time, I had my father's Dragon Radar with me because he was looking for the Dragon Balls. I turned it on and there they were. At a distance, there were seven Dragon Balls at a distance but according to the radar there were seven more at Kami's Lookout. Excited, I told Dad about it. At the time, I wanted him to get the Dragon Balls because it would make him happy. So later, my father and I took the radar and used the Power Pole to get up there. I stayed at a distance because there were all sorts of battle sounds and two fighters fighting with great power. The battle stopped and I felt more tense since one of the fighters will attack us. And then, Dad came running back almost pale and we went back down. He told me about how he used the Dragon Balls to wish Goku, you, into a kid. I'm so sorry!" Rosemary shook as she put her face in her hands.
Torakak stared at her. Ever since that faithful night, he had always wondered how did Pilaf went up to the palace with no one looking. He thought he had sensed someone else at the time but he wasn't sure. **Poor girl. No wonder she was so determined not to let anyone else know.** "It's okay." He said softly as he put a hand on her shoulder.
For the briefest second, she flinched.
"Don't worry, I don't bite." Torakak said as he tried not to scare the young girl. "I'm not dangerous. Is that why you wanted to join us? To find me and ask for forgiveness?"
Rosemary nodded. "Yeah. But I also wanted to meet Mr. Hercule Satan myself. I really admired the man until I found out that he's a no good dirty fraud."
Torakak sighed at the still cold words concerning the planet's 'guardian'. She still have sour feelings when it came to the man. "Do you to tell the others?"
"No! Please! I can't let anyone else know that I have Pilaf as my father! It's so humiliating to say that my father wants to take over the world." Rosemary screamed out as tears came out of her eyes.
Torakak nodded. "I won't tell. But I have to warn you, if the gang figured it out on their own, they won't trust you so much." "So, I have to tell them?"
"I guess." "I'll wait later." **Like two and a half years.** she thought to herself.
To Be continued...
