Dragon Balls GN: Episode 11: Secrets of the Past
By Maria Cline
Tien stood there as he worked out the best possible stratagy for his upcomming battle against Vegita. He knows how powerful the Saiyan is and that a full on fight would be hopeless. His best hope is the plan he thought up and one of Vegita's most obvious weaknesses, his pride.
"Are you sure, you can do this?" Choutsu asked uncertain, "I mean, this is Vegita."
"I know I can do it. I have a few techniques to use on him." Tien replied as he pounded his fist. "I can do it." He went over to the ring and the Announcer exclaimed.
"Welcome! In this corner is a former champion of the Tournament! He is the three-eyed wonder! Tien!"
The audience applauded loudly as Tien came up and waved. He was surprised that people still remembered his victory over forty years ago.
"And in this corner, he's the father of the Trunks Briefs and a great warrior of the Tournament! He is powerful and packs a destructive punch. He is the one and only Vegita!"
Vegita came up and the group applauded loudly. He knew that Tien had no chance against him. Tien's Ki was much lower than his own and Tien knew it. It will be one short fight.
"Ready?" Vegita asked as he came up to the man, "Just to be fair, you can have the first blow."
"Fine." Tien smirked.
"Fight!" The Announcer ordered as he jumped back.
Tien focused and yelled out, "KI SCATTER!" A bright flash of light came out of his face and everyone covered their faces.
"I can't feel him." Rosemary realized as she rubbed her eyes.
"What an attack! Lucky thing I'm wearing my sunglasses." The Announcer said as he looked around.
"KAMEHAMEHA!!!" Tien screamed as he blasted at the Saiyan. Vegita held up his hand and blocked it off.
"Nice try." Vegita said as he took off his sunglasses. "I know that you were going to use that attack."
Tien scowled as he flew up and started to punch at him. Vegita dodged and blocked all of the blows with amazing ease.
"Look at him go." Earl admired, "He really trained hard."
"Yeah, real hard." Yamcha added, "You know, he is a powerful warrior. Even after the Saiyans show up, he was still good."
Tien stopped and wiped his brow.
"Are you finished yet? This is absolutely dull." Vegita complained.
"Not quite." Tien replied as he closed all three eyes and vanished. He reappeared behind Vegita grabbing his tail and the Saiyan shook his head.
"Honestly, that is so old." Vegita muttered as he focused to protect his tail with a Ki shield. It was an old trick he learned back when he was a child.
"Crab claw!" Tien yelled as his hand became a yellow glowing claw. The claw snapped through the Ki shield and clamped comfortably around the tail itself.
"Gah!" Vegita gritted his teeth as Tien held the tail tightly. While he can handle the pain of someone gripping it with a normal grip, a grip that was Ki enhanced was painful.
"Give up." Tien ordered as he held on to the tail.
"Give up to a mere human? Never!" Vegita focused every ounce of power he had and spun the tail around. Tien gulped as he held on to the tail as he spun around.
The Announcer watched the spectal taking place and said, "It looks like that Vegita is swinging Tien with his tail and... his tail?! I had no idea that Vegita has a tail?!"
"There are many things you don't know about me." Vegita said as Tien kept on being swung.
"I wonder if he's related to Goku." The Announcer pondered.
"What?!" Vegita boomed as the GN warriors gulped.
"Shit." Rosemary said as she placed both hands over her eyes.
"Oh boy." Torakak said as he held his ears.
Goten clamped both hands over his mouth to avoid laughing at Vegita's expression.
"I AM NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO KAKAROT!!!" Vegita screamed as he lunged at the announcer with Tien still holding on tight.
"Holy cow! Looks like one of the fighters is attacking the announcer for that comment." Maria said as she ducked behind a set of bleachers. "Looks like Vegita is on a war path now."
"I don't think so." Tien landed on his feet, flipped Vegita over his head, and let go. The announcer ran to the side and kept on watching.
The proud Saiyan snarled as he jumped back to his feet only a couple of feet from the edge of the ring. "Is that the best you can do?"
"Here's something I'm planning for you." Tien announced as he rose his palm up and his hand glowed. **Yes, Vegita's doing what I thought he would do.**
Vegita watched as a small Ki ball formed in the man's hand. It wasn't very strong or seem to pose a threat. Yet, it seemed familiar.
Choutsu gasped as he yelled telepathically to Goten, Gohan, and Trunks, **Guys! Don't look up!**
The three Demi-saiyans complied and stared at Vegita. Gohan thought, **Could it be? No! It's not possible. Tien wouldn't do something that insane.**
Tien flung the ball up into the air, high above Vegita's head, and screamed, "Moon burst full of light!"
"What?!" Vegita and everyone else exclaimed as the ball exploded into a giant glowing ball of white light. It pulsed in a radiant glory that made everyone who had no idea about what is going on awestruck at its beauty.
"And Tien had just created a ball of light. I don't know why but it sure is pretty." Maria commented as she strained her neck to see the ball hover.
Vegita could feel the rage and power build beyond his control. He had no control over transforming and Tien knew it. In other times, he would be fully prepared to transform but now, he was caught completely unprepared by the ball's moonlight. His eyes turned ruby red as fangs sprouted out in his mouth. A blood curdling roar echoed through the auditorium as the crowd looked at the giant monkey and gasped.
"Oh my god! Vegita's turning into a giant monkey! Who knew he would do such a move? Tien is in major trouble!" Maria screamed as she and the Announcer hid back behind the bleachers.
"What's he thinking?!" Gohan exclaimed as he put on his Bruta wave sunglasses. "Tien's no match for Vegita in the first place."
"KIOKEN ATTACK TIMES FIVE!!! ULTIMATE KIKOHO!!!" Tien screamed as a red aura flaired around him and a bright yellow beam shot out of his hands.
Vegita finally gained partial concentration and saw a giant beam in his face. The behemoth was flung off of the ring.
"Yes!" Tien gasped as he took a deep breath. He had used a lot of power creating the Bruta wave ball, going in Kioken Attack times five mode, and making the Ultimate Kikoho.
"No!" Vegita snapped his tail up while flapping his arms to avoid touching the ground. In a fit of primal rage, Vegita grabbed Tien with his huge gloved hands.
"Whoa! This is one frightening match!" The Announcer trembled, "Looks like Vegita is really upset! I hope he still have his wits."
"Vegita! Remember! If you kill, you can't fight in the Tournament ever again!" Bulma yelled out through her megaphone.
"Can't I crush every bone in his body? I promise, he'll still be breathing." Vegita asked as he held his captive tightly.
"No! Put him down outside of the ring!" Bulma insisted, "Or Rosemary will chop off that tail of yours." Bulma gestured to Rosemary who was holding her katana in her hands.
"Awwww... Can't have history repeat itself." Vegita grumbled as he lightly flung the worn out warrior out of the ring and sat down on his hunches.
"T-the winner is Vegita!" The announcer stammered out as Vegita rose both hands in the air.
"No one makes a monkey out of the greatest full blooded Saiyan warrior alive!" Vegita boomed as he pounded his chest.
"But, he is a giant monkey." Dinre pointed out as she pointed up.
"Don't point, sweetheart." Lunch offered as she put Dinre's hand down.
The Announcer and Maria looked at him oddly. "What's a Saiyan?" Maria asked the Announcer.
"No clue."
"Isn't he the only full blooded Saiyan warrior alive?" Earl whispered to his father.
"Just don't say anything." Yamcha advised.
"Tien!" Choutsu exclaimed as Tien slowly got up.
"My aching everything." Tien moaned as he reached into his belt and got out a senzu bean. "Lucky thing I got this for the fight." He tossed the bean into his mouth and every wound was healed instantly.
"What were you thinking?!" Chi Chi chastised her old friend, "You know that Vegita is super powerful as an Oozaru! Especially a super mad oozaru!"
"I know."
"That was brilliant." Torakak said, "I noticed what you were doing. You knew that Vegita would be vulnerable for that second that he was readjusting to his form and you couldn't handle him any other way. So you put all of your power in those attacks, hoping that Vegita will fall off of the ring and you would win."
"Yeah, I was hopping he wouldn't react like that." Tien shook his head.
"Excuse me?" The Announcer said as he and Maria came up to the still transformed Saiyan, "Can you change back? W-we need to perform the other fights!"
"The only way to revert me back before the Bruta wave ball burns out is to cut off my tail." He glared at Rosemary who was holding her sword, "And no one will cut it. Get it, girl!"
"Yes, sir." Rosemary bowed as she put away the sword and stepped back.
"How long will this 'power ball' last?" Maria asked Tien.
"It depends. I'd say about an hour." Tien replied.
"Damn it." The Announcer muttered, "Mrs. Briefs, can you do something about your husband? We need to use the arena."
"Of course." Bulma went up to her gigantic husband and tapped her foot. "Vegita! Get out of there! Trunks and Pan had to fight next!"
"All right! But first." Vegita reached down and gently picked up his wife. Unlike Tien, Vegita made every effort not to hurt his wife.
"Vegita! Not now!" Bulma insisted as she laughed at the giant hand cupping her gently. Vegita laughed as he flew up, grabbed the Ki ball with his other hand, and flew away.
"My father told me there would be fights like this." The Announcer muttered as he stared at the giant monkey flying off. "Anyway! Our next fight will be in ten minutes. Fighters, please be ready."
*****
"That was one interesting fight." Rosemary said as she came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of short blue jean shorts and a T-shirt that said 'Super Saiyan' on it.
"We better not go Oozaru like that now." Trunks advised as he adjusted his own Bruta wave glasses. "We're attracting a lot of attention as it is."
"Yeah, just think if you transformed into Prince Kango." Pan laughed as Marai Trunks blinked in confusion.
"Prince Kango? Who's Prince Kango?"
"A toy." Trunks grumbled, "I was practicing my Oozaru changes when these people saw me and made a toy."
"That doesn't sound too bad." Marai Trunks commented, "I had a few toys made in my image after I destroyed Cell in my world."
"Were any of them stuffed purple apes?"
"Stuffed purple ape?"
"Excuse me?" A man in a plaid suit said as he came up carrying a big stuffed purple ape with a small yellow crown on its head, "I'm looking for Vegita?"
"He's out." Trunks answered, "I'm his son. What do you want?"
"I was wondering if your father would be interested in being a sponsor for our commercial. What would he say?"
"This." Trunks grabbed the toy with one hand and held it by its head. "Now watch." He advised as a bright flash of Ki erupted out of his palm and obliterated the stuffed animal. The man shook as Trunks brushed his hands. "That is what he would do." Trunks explained, "Except he might do it to you. So, just leave and don't come back."
The man gulped and ran off.
"That was Prince Kango?" Marai Trunks asked as he stifled an urge to laugh.
Trunks glared at his counterpart. "One of them. Look, I got to prepare for the fight. Right, Pan?"
"Oh sure." Pan nodded as she recognized her husband's attempt to change the subject.
"Must be hard, fighting your own husband in a battle like this." Rosemary commented.
"Nah. Trunks and I spar all the time. We both know that if either one of us hold back, it would be an insult. So, we're going at it full haul." Pan explained as she winked at her Trunks. "Say, Trunks," She pointed to the alternate Trunks, "what about your wife? I mean, did you and she spar?"
"Kinda." Marai Trunks admitted as he sighed, "She was strong but didn't have any of the Ki experience your Rosemary had. I trained her in my martial arts. Rosemary, where did you learn to handle that sword like that?"
"My master Yajarobie." Rosemary replied, "He taught me all he knew about sword fighting."
"Yajarobie?"
"Yes, he's pretty good. He even gave me my swords. He made them himself."
"Yajarobie?"
"I know he's kinda weak but he's an excellent instructor."
"Yajarobie?!" Marai Trunks finally fell over. He knew Yajarobie from his time travel experiences. A powerful girl like Rosemary getting a good part of her training from the coward was overwhelming. "Sorry, it's just that in my time, Yajarobie was killed by the Androids."
"That's okay." Rosemary replied as Marai Trunks turned red again. Seeing this strange man, looking at her like he knew her give her the creeps. How can she handle dealing with a man who was married to her in another world? True, he is cute and have that certain mysterious air around him but he knew her and she didn't know that much about him. "Anyway, did you and your wife train together?" Rosemary asked again.
"We trained." Marai Trunks answered, "She was very strong but I helped her get stronger."
"Wait, you kept on training after Cell?" Trunks asked almost confused.
"Of course." Marai Trunks replied, "After a lifetime of fighting, I can't really stop. I taught Rose how to fly and blast Ki. *Heh* she was one strong fighter."
"I'm sorry." Rosemary said as she held herself.
"That's okay." Marai Trunks replied as he gazed at her outfit. **How can she wear such skimpy clothes?** He thought. **My Rose wouldn't even think about wearing such outfits.**
"Hey, do you mind keeping your thoughts to yourself?" Trunks asked his counterpart, "I can hear you think."
"Sorry." Marai Trunks looked down. "Rosemary, I hate to sound forward but... why do you wear those types of outfits? Like the bikini one?" His face turned beet red as he studied the floor.
"Oh." Rosemary grinned. "Well, it frees movement for fighting, and it restricts the possibility of anyone grabbing on. Besides, if you got it, flaunt it."
Pan nodded as she too smiled. "Yeah. Flaunt it. Come on, Trunks, it's time for someone's ass to be spanked."
"Well, remember the rules, the loser has to go out on a date with the winner." Trunks reminded as the two walked to the ring.
**Flaunt it?** Marai Trunks repeated in his brain. **This Rosemary is not as... wow.**
"Good luck, guys!" Goten cheered.
"Yeah!"
*****
The Announcer stepped up on the ring as the crew finally repaired it. **Please, no more giant monkeys.** The Announcer prayed as he glanced up at the sky.
"First up... she's the granddaughter of Mr. Satan _and_ Goku. The daughter of the Great Saiyanman team and current holder of the Great Saiyan-chan name... Pan Briefs! The universe's most powerful woman!"
Pan ran up and waved her hands. The crowd boomed and cheered as the woman bowed.
"And in this corner... he's the son of Vegita. One of the most well known combatants in this tournament and the husband of Pan Briefs..." Every woman and a few men moaned in disappointment as Trunks fell over. "One of the most powerful men in the universe... the one and only... Trunks Briefs!"
Trunks came up and waved.
"Okay, you know the rules and please no monkey business." The Announcer said as Trunks nodded.
**Thank Dende Dad took that moon away.** Trunks thought as he went into fighting position.
"Let's go, Hon." Pan winked as she and Trunks flew up and started to punch each other.
At first, it was a pure stalemate. The two lovers had trained together and knew each other's moves intimately. They spared regularly and had a good bond between them. However, they kept their own secrets about their abilities when they train with different people. The warriors watched as the two fought on. To those who can't fight with Ki, they looked like a pair of blurs.
Trunks and Pan stopped and smiled at each other. "HA!!!" They yelled as they went Super Saiyan. Their hair glow with the radiant golden power and their eyes were a sharp green. A golden aura surrounded them like a pair of flames.
"I will have to overpower you." Trunks warned as he grinned. His hair spiked up even more and flew at Pan, attacking her again with great ferociousness.
"Wow." Marai Trunks muttered, "That's an impressive Super Saiyan II."
"I know." Torakak replied, "He finally gained that power level after so many years."
Marai Trunks smiled ironically. "I guess that since this Trunks had it easier he didn't train so hard and hence didn't go Super Saiyan as early as I did."
"When did you went Super Saiyan?" Goten asked curious about this man who looked like his best friend.
"Fourteen." Marai Trunks replied as Goten and every other warrior who didn't experience the Cell games for themselves fell over.
"Fourteen?!" Goten repeated, "B-but Trunks, my Trunks, went Super Saiyan when he eight years old."
That time, Marai Trunks fell over hard. "Eight?! How's that possible?! How did he get that much rage become a Super Saiyan?"
"Actually, Trunks and I just turned Super Saiyan one day." Goten answered with the same confused expression that Goku often uses. "We didn't get angry. We just went Super Saiyan."
Marai Trunks' eyes widen to saucers. **Incredible, in this world, my counterpart became powerful at such a young age. Everyone I know in my own world, including myself is weaker than this world's counterpart. Why?**
Trunks shook his head as a barrage of thoughts echoed in his brain. Pan noticed his distraction and used it to her greatest advantage. She punched and kicked as Trunks quickly start dodging. **Hey, Trunks.** Trunks told his counterpart, **Do you mind thinking a bit quieter? I'm trying to win a match here.**
"Sorry." Marai Trunks sighed. It wasn't like he had not experience this dual feeling before. He could still remember the time he rescued his young mother and himself as a baby from death. Of course, back then the baby didn't know what was going on and didn't know that he had an older counterpart running around. Now, it's like he had a long lost twin brother.
Trunks and Pan stopped their attack. "Wanna show off for the cameras?" Trunks offered as his hands glowed. "Galactic donut!" A bright ring circled the woman and entrapped her.
Pan screamed as she let out a bright Ki shield and pried it away from her body. "Gotenks tricks. Nice. Here's a little something I picked up." Pan complimented as she vanish making the 'donut' enclose itself.
She reappeared behind Trunks and wrapped her arm around his neck and used every ounce of force she had and slammed him on the floor.
"Incredible! Pan is using her grandfather's own wrestling moves on her own husband!" The Announcer said as Trunks struggled in his wife's grip.
"Hey! You never did that before!" Trunks protested as he hit her arm.
"A woman is a deep ocean filled with secrets." Pan replied as she smiled.
"Then, let's turn it up." Trunks focused as his hair grew below his waist and his eyebrows vanished.
Marai Trunks gasped in astonishment. "What's that power level?" He asked Bra who was watching with anticipation.
"That's Super Saiyan III. Pretty cool huh?" Bra asked as she smirked. "Didn't you went Super Saiyan III?"
"N-No." Marai Trunks answered, "I never even knew that such a level exists!" **Oh man, is this strange! Can this guy be stronger than me? I better reach Super Saiyan III if I want to avenge Rose's death.**
Pan looked at the transformed Saiyan and shrugged. "Okay, time for another attack." Pan stretched out her arms and glowed.
"What the-?" Trunks muttered as Pan twirled around on her toes slowly and traces of Ki energy flowed out of her fingertips.
"TORNADO OF POWER!!!" Pan yelled out as she twirled faster and faster until she transformed into a living twister of energy.
Trunks jumped back as the tornado moved at him. Even with his super fast eyes, he couldn't tell where to hit and strike. He flew back as Pan strike at him with Ki charged fists.
**She had to be getting dizzy by now.** Trunks thought as he flew up. The tornado remained on the ground but the Ki energies rose and struck the Super Saiyan.
Trunks dodged the blasts and yelled, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" He let loose a bright powerful beam at the tornado. The blast struck the tornado but it swirled around the Ki storm and flew back out. The beam struck Trunks and he was flung up into the air and then more Ki blasts hit Trunks. Overwhelmed, Trunks reverted to Super Saiyan mode.
Finally, the tornado started to slow and instead of Ki blasts, a shirt flew out of the whirlwind and hit the Announcer.
The Announcer looked at the shirt and gulped. It was the yellow top of Pan's outfit. "Ummm..." The Announcer's face grew red and then a pair of pants came out and landed on the floor at the Announcer's feet.
"What is she thinking?" Gohan moaned in disbelief.
The golden tornado stopped completely and standing there was Pan in a bright red bikini. Trunks and every other warriors' jaw dropped and a faint sound of an old fashion car horn could be heard. At once, some of the single men being whistling and making cat calls.
Gohan growled as he flew up and yelled, "IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MY LITTLE GIRL! YOU WILL HAVE TO MESS WITH ME!!!"
At once, everyone became quiet and the roudy boys turned red as they sank into their seats.
"Woah." Marai Trunks groaned as his eyes bludged at the bikini cladded warrior and Gohan's temper. This world's Gohan had the same protective side as his own Gohan.
Pan flew up, grabbed Trunks by the arms and flipped him off of the ring. Trunks, still stunned by Pan's unique attack landed with a thud.
"The winner is Pan Briefs!" The Announcer exclaimed as the crowd cheered. He went over to Pan who was standing there. "Here's your clothes, Mrs. Briefs..." The Announcer glanced at the woman's eyes that are now a pair of swirls.
"Hold on for a second." Pan muttered as she fell over.
The Announcer and Maria face faulted again.
"Oh boy." The Announcer said as he wiped away a bead of sweat off of his forehead.
"Well, next up is Gohan vs. Ubuu." Maria announced as she watched Trunks picking up his wife and taking her off the ring.
"Crew, clean up!" The Announcer said as he looked at the now ruined ring. "Hmmm... the next match will be up in half-hour."
*****
"What a ride." Pan muttered as she put on her gi outfit. Her head still spun from her last attack.
"That was interesting." Marai Trunks commented as he helped his counterpart up.
"Tell me about it." Trunks agreed, "Although, it would have been easier if _someone_ wasn't thinking so loud."
"I think a lot." Marai Trunks explained, "I'll try to think quietly next time you fight."
Trunks glared at his 'reflection'. "Right."
*****
Majunor was sitting while meditiating when he felt a familiar presence. "What do you want?" Majunor demanded as he opened his eyes and looked up at the reporter.
Maria smiled as she gestured to the side. "Majunor? I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
Maria sighed as she took Majunor's hand. "Trust me on this." She insisted as they went down a long hallway and into a room.
"Hey, there, little bro." Barzon said as he came out of the darkness.
Majunor's eyes bluged. "What?!"
"I'm your brother." Barzon explained as he reached into his pocket and got out a small bracelet labled 'Barzon'. "Ya see, my parents told me about how they abandoned a few kids when they were needing money." Tears came down his cheeks as he said, "I know one of them is you. You were founded near a temple right?"
"Perhaps." Majunor said as he crossed his arms and buried his feelings. He didn't trust this man to be his brother. "But what proof do you have?"
"There's a birthmark on your back that looked like an angel's halo and we can have blood tests to prove it. Please, let me prove it." Barzon pleaded as he knelt down.
Majunor tilted his head. The little boy part of him did want to find out where's he's from and who was his true family. Still, his Piccolo side still struggled. "So, it's no publicity stunt?"
"Heh, if it was, I would've advertise that I was looking for my long lost siblings." Barzon laughed, "Come on, little guy, please."
"There's a lab here." Maria offered, "We can get someone to do a DNA test on you two."
"I already have someone." Majunor said, "I know this one guy who's super smart and can do DNA tests."
"Oh really, who?" Barzon asked curiously.
"Mr. Son Gohan. I knew him for a good long time. He's very powerful and very smart."
"Great." Maria said as she checked her watch. "We can do the tests after his battle with Ubuu. If he's not too badly injured."
"He'll be okay." Majunor smirked as he explained, "Gohan's one tough cookie."
*****
After an hour, Maria and the Announcer met at the newly refurnished ring. "Well, this is going to be a very interesting match." Maria commented as she smiled.
"You bet. The next match will be between Gohan and Ubuu Buu. Both very tough fighters who were trained under Goku, a former champion." The Announcer explained, "Also, Gohan had just came out of retirement and had been training hard. Can this man defeat the second most powerful man in the world next to Mr. Satan?"
"Looks like we'll be finding out." Maria said as the two warriors came on the ring.
"And in this corner, a man who needs no introduction... the super powerful warrior only second to Mr. Satan himself, Ubuu Buu!"
Ubuu nodded as he came out on the ring. He was familiar with fame and fortune that came from being Mr. Satan's bodyguard and second in the matches. Now that the tournament will no longer be thrown, he can maybe be true champion for once. That is, if he can beat the others including Torakak formerly Goku, his old sensei.
"And in this corner, the former Great Saiyaman, a man who's brain is as powerful as his body, the one and only... Gohan!"
Gohan smiled as he came up to the ring. He missed moments like this. His Saiyan blood rushed as he gazed at Ubuu. In a way, he missed the feeling of fighting and training to see if he got stronger. After his father left and he started training again, his wife called it a mid-life crisis, his mother called it survivior's guilt, and his daughter calls it cool. He called it a primal instinct that had been suppressed too long and the fact that Goku is no longer around to protect his world and his family.
"Ready, fight!" The Announcer said as he jumped back.
Ubuu and Gohan immediately powered up and attacked each other. It was a long brutal fight as the two fought on. Finally, Gohan punched Ubuu out of the ring and the audience gasped in shock. Someone, other than Mr. Satan had beaten Ubuu.
"Gohan wins!" The Announcer proclaimed as Gohan helped his opponent up and they bowed to each other in mutual respect.
"Is it just me or did that fight go a little too fast?" Rosemary commented.
"It's the author's fault." Majunor replied, "She didn't know anything about Ubuu's attacks so she just make the fight description short."
"Now, next up Vegita vs. Goten!" The Announcer said as he looked around. He edged to Bra and asked, "Did your father came back yet?"
"I'm here!" Vegita boomed as he came back normal sized with Bulma in his arms. Their clothes were disheveled and there were a few rips in their clothes.
"Where were you?" The Announcer asked as he sweatdropped.
Vegita smirked evilly. "It's none of your concern."
"..." The Announcer said nothing as he looked at Maria who was blushing.
"No comment." Maria added on.
"Gohan!" Majunor said as he ran up to Gohan, **I need your help.** He said telepathically.
Gohan nodded as he ate a Senzu bean. **What's wrong? Is it Omioni?**
**No, it's personal.** Majunor said as he grabbed Gohan's hand and dragged him away.
*****
After hearing Majunor's long story, Gohan's jaw dropped. "So, Barzon can be your long lost older brother?"
"Yeah. But I need some tests to prove it." Majunor replied, "Can you do some tests? I trust you and your mind."
Gohan smiled at the boy. It felt good to him to have Piccolo still like and trust him. There was a bond that could be described as fatherly. Now, despite the obvious age differences and maybe role reversal, the bond remains. "Of course. But, I don't have any DNA testing equipment on me."
"I may have something." A middle aged man said as he came up. He had light brown hair and soft blue eyes. "My name is Dr. West."
"Oh! The famous biologist." Gohan said as he shook the man's hand. "I heard a great deal about your work. Majunor, this man had singlehandedly studied a group of bats in the mountains for ten years. That's how you got called 'The Batman', Dr. West, right?"
"Yes and please call me 'Alan'." Alan West said as he smiled, "Let me get my handy BatDNA analyst machine." He got out a small capsule.
"A BatDNA analyst machine?" Majunor repeated.
"Actually, it can be used for all species but I used it for bats mostly." Alan said as they went to a convient empty room. The biologist tossed the capsule to the ground and in a poof of smoke a giant computer appeared. On the top, it was labeled 'BatDNA Analyzer'. "All I need is the two DNA samples to compare. Only a small sample will do."
"I'll get Barzon." Majunor said as he ran off. A split second later, Majunor and Barzon came back.
"He's fast." Barzon said with wide eyes.
"He's like that." Gohan commented as Alan took a needle.
"I hope neither of you are afraid of needles." Alan said as he took Majunor's arm.
"Nah, I'm tough. Ow!" Majunor said as he felt the needle get in deep through his skin.
Barzon remained calm as Dr. West took his DNA sample. "There." He said as he took the tubes and put them into the BatDNA analyzer. "Now, I just flip the switch and it should analyze the DNA and compute whether or not these two are related." He flicked a few switches. The machine hummed and beeped and then a punch card shot out of a slot.
"Isn't that a little primative?" Gohan asked as Alan glanced at the card.
"Not really." He replied as he nodded. "This proves it. Barzon, Majunor... you two are related."
Majunor and Barzon looked at each other.
"All right!" Barzon exclaimed as he picked up the boy and hugged him. "You know, little bro, I won't leave you ever again. I'll protect you and raise you to make up for lost time. I'll even make you go to school so you can get a decent education!"
**Great, just great, just what I need, a male Chi Chi.** Majunor thought grumpy as he was hugged again.
To Be Continued...
Hiya! Torakak here again! Next up is Goten vs. Vegita... Gohan vs. Pan... after that... who knows? Also, how will Majunor cope with his new family?
Next up...
Dragon Balls GN: Battles Between Titans!
By Maria Cline
Tien stood there as he worked out the best possible stratagy for his upcomming battle against Vegita. He knows how powerful the Saiyan is and that a full on fight would be hopeless. His best hope is the plan he thought up and one of Vegita's most obvious weaknesses, his pride.
"Are you sure, you can do this?" Choutsu asked uncertain, "I mean, this is Vegita."
"I know I can do it. I have a few techniques to use on him." Tien replied as he pounded his fist. "I can do it." He went over to the ring and the Announcer exclaimed.
"Welcome! In this corner is a former champion of the Tournament! He is the three-eyed wonder! Tien!"
The audience applauded loudly as Tien came up and waved. He was surprised that people still remembered his victory over forty years ago.
"And in this corner, he's the father of the Trunks Briefs and a great warrior of the Tournament! He is powerful and packs a destructive punch. He is the one and only Vegita!"
Vegita came up and the group applauded loudly. He knew that Tien had no chance against him. Tien's Ki was much lower than his own and Tien knew it. It will be one short fight.
"Ready?" Vegita asked as he came up to the man, "Just to be fair, you can have the first blow."
"Fine." Tien smirked.
"Fight!" The Announcer ordered as he jumped back.
Tien focused and yelled out, "KI SCATTER!" A bright flash of light came out of his face and everyone covered their faces.
"I can't feel him." Rosemary realized as she rubbed her eyes.
"What an attack! Lucky thing I'm wearing my sunglasses." The Announcer said as he looked around.
"KAMEHAMEHA!!!" Tien screamed as he blasted at the Saiyan. Vegita held up his hand and blocked it off.
"Nice try." Vegita said as he took off his sunglasses. "I know that you were going to use that attack."
Tien scowled as he flew up and started to punch at him. Vegita dodged and blocked all of the blows with amazing ease.
"Look at him go." Earl admired, "He really trained hard."
"Yeah, real hard." Yamcha added, "You know, he is a powerful warrior. Even after the Saiyans show up, he was still good."
Tien stopped and wiped his brow.
"Are you finished yet? This is absolutely dull." Vegita complained.
"Not quite." Tien replied as he closed all three eyes and vanished. He reappeared behind Vegita grabbing his tail and the Saiyan shook his head.
"Honestly, that is so old." Vegita muttered as he focused to protect his tail with a Ki shield. It was an old trick he learned back when he was a child.
"Crab claw!" Tien yelled as his hand became a yellow glowing claw. The claw snapped through the Ki shield and clamped comfortably around the tail itself.
"Gah!" Vegita gritted his teeth as Tien held the tail tightly. While he can handle the pain of someone gripping it with a normal grip, a grip that was Ki enhanced was painful.
"Give up." Tien ordered as he held on to the tail.
"Give up to a mere human? Never!" Vegita focused every ounce of power he had and spun the tail around. Tien gulped as he held on to the tail as he spun around.
The Announcer watched the spectal taking place and said, "It looks like that Vegita is swinging Tien with his tail and... his tail?! I had no idea that Vegita has a tail?!"
"There are many things you don't know about me." Vegita said as Tien kept on being swung.
"I wonder if he's related to Goku." The Announcer pondered.
"What?!" Vegita boomed as the GN warriors gulped.
"Shit." Rosemary said as she placed both hands over her eyes.
"Oh boy." Torakak said as he held his ears.
Goten clamped both hands over his mouth to avoid laughing at Vegita's expression.
"I AM NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO KAKAROT!!!" Vegita screamed as he lunged at the announcer with Tien still holding on tight.
"Holy cow! Looks like one of the fighters is attacking the announcer for that comment." Maria said as she ducked behind a set of bleachers. "Looks like Vegita is on a war path now."
"I don't think so." Tien landed on his feet, flipped Vegita over his head, and let go. The announcer ran to the side and kept on watching.
The proud Saiyan snarled as he jumped back to his feet only a couple of feet from the edge of the ring. "Is that the best you can do?"
"Here's something I'm planning for you." Tien announced as he rose his palm up and his hand glowed. **Yes, Vegita's doing what I thought he would do.**
Vegita watched as a small Ki ball formed in the man's hand. It wasn't very strong or seem to pose a threat. Yet, it seemed familiar.
Choutsu gasped as he yelled telepathically to Goten, Gohan, and Trunks, **Guys! Don't look up!**
The three Demi-saiyans complied and stared at Vegita. Gohan thought, **Could it be? No! It's not possible. Tien wouldn't do something that insane.**
Tien flung the ball up into the air, high above Vegita's head, and screamed, "Moon burst full of light!"
"What?!" Vegita and everyone else exclaimed as the ball exploded into a giant glowing ball of white light. It pulsed in a radiant glory that made everyone who had no idea about what is going on awestruck at its beauty.
"And Tien had just created a ball of light. I don't know why but it sure is pretty." Maria commented as she strained her neck to see the ball hover.
Vegita could feel the rage and power build beyond his control. He had no control over transforming and Tien knew it. In other times, he would be fully prepared to transform but now, he was caught completely unprepared by the ball's moonlight. His eyes turned ruby red as fangs sprouted out in his mouth. A blood curdling roar echoed through the auditorium as the crowd looked at the giant monkey and gasped.
"Oh my god! Vegita's turning into a giant monkey! Who knew he would do such a move? Tien is in major trouble!" Maria screamed as she and the Announcer hid back behind the bleachers.
"What's he thinking?!" Gohan exclaimed as he put on his Bruta wave sunglasses. "Tien's no match for Vegita in the first place."
"KIOKEN ATTACK TIMES FIVE!!! ULTIMATE KIKOHO!!!" Tien screamed as a red aura flaired around him and a bright yellow beam shot out of his hands.
Vegita finally gained partial concentration and saw a giant beam in his face. The behemoth was flung off of the ring.
"Yes!" Tien gasped as he took a deep breath. He had used a lot of power creating the Bruta wave ball, going in Kioken Attack times five mode, and making the Ultimate Kikoho.
"No!" Vegita snapped his tail up while flapping his arms to avoid touching the ground. In a fit of primal rage, Vegita grabbed Tien with his huge gloved hands.
"Whoa! This is one frightening match!" The Announcer trembled, "Looks like Vegita is really upset! I hope he still have his wits."
"Vegita! Remember! If you kill, you can't fight in the Tournament ever again!" Bulma yelled out through her megaphone.
"Can't I crush every bone in his body? I promise, he'll still be breathing." Vegita asked as he held his captive tightly.
"No! Put him down outside of the ring!" Bulma insisted, "Or Rosemary will chop off that tail of yours." Bulma gestured to Rosemary who was holding her katana in her hands.
"Awwww... Can't have history repeat itself." Vegita grumbled as he lightly flung the worn out warrior out of the ring and sat down on his hunches.
"T-the winner is Vegita!" The announcer stammered out as Vegita rose both hands in the air.
"No one makes a monkey out of the greatest full blooded Saiyan warrior alive!" Vegita boomed as he pounded his chest.
"But, he is a giant monkey." Dinre pointed out as she pointed up.
"Don't point, sweetheart." Lunch offered as she put Dinre's hand down.
The Announcer and Maria looked at him oddly. "What's a Saiyan?" Maria asked the Announcer.
"No clue."
"Isn't he the only full blooded Saiyan warrior alive?" Earl whispered to his father.
"Just don't say anything." Yamcha advised.
"Tien!" Choutsu exclaimed as Tien slowly got up.
"My aching everything." Tien moaned as he reached into his belt and got out a senzu bean. "Lucky thing I got this for the fight." He tossed the bean into his mouth and every wound was healed instantly.
"What were you thinking?!" Chi Chi chastised her old friend, "You know that Vegita is super powerful as an Oozaru! Especially a super mad oozaru!"
"I know."
"That was brilliant." Torakak said, "I noticed what you were doing. You knew that Vegita would be vulnerable for that second that he was readjusting to his form and you couldn't handle him any other way. So you put all of your power in those attacks, hoping that Vegita will fall off of the ring and you would win."
"Yeah, I was hopping he wouldn't react like that." Tien shook his head.
"Excuse me?" The Announcer said as he and Maria came up to the still transformed Saiyan, "Can you change back? W-we need to perform the other fights!"
"The only way to revert me back before the Bruta wave ball burns out is to cut off my tail." He glared at Rosemary who was holding her sword, "And no one will cut it. Get it, girl!"
"Yes, sir." Rosemary bowed as she put away the sword and stepped back.
"How long will this 'power ball' last?" Maria asked Tien.
"It depends. I'd say about an hour." Tien replied.
"Damn it." The Announcer muttered, "Mrs. Briefs, can you do something about your husband? We need to use the arena."
"Of course." Bulma went up to her gigantic husband and tapped her foot. "Vegita! Get out of there! Trunks and Pan had to fight next!"
"All right! But first." Vegita reached down and gently picked up his wife. Unlike Tien, Vegita made every effort not to hurt his wife.
"Vegita! Not now!" Bulma insisted as she laughed at the giant hand cupping her gently. Vegita laughed as he flew up, grabbed the Ki ball with his other hand, and flew away.
"My father told me there would be fights like this." The Announcer muttered as he stared at the giant monkey flying off. "Anyway! Our next fight will be in ten minutes. Fighters, please be ready."
*****
"That was one interesting fight." Rosemary said as she came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of short blue jean shorts and a T-shirt that said 'Super Saiyan' on it.
"We better not go Oozaru like that now." Trunks advised as he adjusted his own Bruta wave glasses. "We're attracting a lot of attention as it is."
"Yeah, just think if you transformed into Prince Kango." Pan laughed as Marai Trunks blinked in confusion.
"Prince Kango? Who's Prince Kango?"
"A toy." Trunks grumbled, "I was practicing my Oozaru changes when these people saw me and made a toy."
"That doesn't sound too bad." Marai Trunks commented, "I had a few toys made in my image after I destroyed Cell in my world."
"Were any of them stuffed purple apes?"
"Stuffed purple ape?"
"Excuse me?" A man in a plaid suit said as he came up carrying a big stuffed purple ape with a small yellow crown on its head, "I'm looking for Vegita?"
"He's out." Trunks answered, "I'm his son. What do you want?"
"I was wondering if your father would be interested in being a sponsor for our commercial. What would he say?"
"This." Trunks grabbed the toy with one hand and held it by its head. "Now watch." He advised as a bright flash of Ki erupted out of his palm and obliterated the stuffed animal. The man shook as Trunks brushed his hands. "That is what he would do." Trunks explained, "Except he might do it to you. So, just leave and don't come back."
The man gulped and ran off.
"That was Prince Kango?" Marai Trunks asked as he stifled an urge to laugh.
Trunks glared at his counterpart. "One of them. Look, I got to prepare for the fight. Right, Pan?"
"Oh sure." Pan nodded as she recognized her husband's attempt to change the subject.
"Must be hard, fighting your own husband in a battle like this." Rosemary commented.
"Nah. Trunks and I spar all the time. We both know that if either one of us hold back, it would be an insult. So, we're going at it full haul." Pan explained as she winked at her Trunks. "Say, Trunks," She pointed to the alternate Trunks, "what about your wife? I mean, did you and she spar?"
"Kinda." Marai Trunks admitted as he sighed, "She was strong but didn't have any of the Ki experience your Rosemary had. I trained her in my martial arts. Rosemary, where did you learn to handle that sword like that?"
"My master Yajarobie." Rosemary replied, "He taught me all he knew about sword fighting."
"Yajarobie?"
"Yes, he's pretty good. He even gave me my swords. He made them himself."
"Yajarobie?"
"I know he's kinda weak but he's an excellent instructor."
"Yajarobie?!" Marai Trunks finally fell over. He knew Yajarobie from his time travel experiences. A powerful girl like Rosemary getting a good part of her training from the coward was overwhelming. "Sorry, it's just that in my time, Yajarobie was killed by the Androids."
"That's okay." Rosemary replied as Marai Trunks turned red again. Seeing this strange man, looking at her like he knew her give her the creeps. How can she handle dealing with a man who was married to her in another world? True, he is cute and have that certain mysterious air around him but he knew her and she didn't know that much about him. "Anyway, did you and your wife train together?" Rosemary asked again.
"We trained." Marai Trunks answered, "She was very strong but I helped her get stronger."
"Wait, you kept on training after Cell?" Trunks asked almost confused.
"Of course." Marai Trunks replied, "After a lifetime of fighting, I can't really stop. I taught Rose how to fly and blast Ki. *Heh* she was one strong fighter."
"I'm sorry." Rosemary said as she held herself.
"That's okay." Marai Trunks replied as he gazed at her outfit. **How can she wear such skimpy clothes?** He thought. **My Rose wouldn't even think about wearing such outfits.**
"Hey, do you mind keeping your thoughts to yourself?" Trunks asked his counterpart, "I can hear you think."
"Sorry." Marai Trunks looked down. "Rosemary, I hate to sound forward but... why do you wear those types of outfits? Like the bikini one?" His face turned beet red as he studied the floor.
"Oh." Rosemary grinned. "Well, it frees movement for fighting, and it restricts the possibility of anyone grabbing on. Besides, if you got it, flaunt it."
Pan nodded as she too smiled. "Yeah. Flaunt it. Come on, Trunks, it's time for someone's ass to be spanked."
"Well, remember the rules, the loser has to go out on a date with the winner." Trunks reminded as the two walked to the ring.
**Flaunt it?** Marai Trunks repeated in his brain. **This Rosemary is not as... wow.**
"Good luck, guys!" Goten cheered.
"Yeah!"
*****
The Announcer stepped up on the ring as the crew finally repaired it. **Please, no more giant monkeys.** The Announcer prayed as he glanced up at the sky.
"First up... she's the granddaughter of Mr. Satan _and_ Goku. The daughter of the Great Saiyanman team and current holder of the Great Saiyan-chan name... Pan Briefs! The universe's most powerful woman!"
Pan ran up and waved her hands. The crowd boomed and cheered as the woman bowed.
"And in this corner... he's the son of Vegita. One of the most well known combatants in this tournament and the husband of Pan Briefs..." Every woman and a few men moaned in disappointment as Trunks fell over. "One of the most powerful men in the universe... the one and only... Trunks Briefs!"
Trunks came up and waved.
"Okay, you know the rules and please no monkey business." The Announcer said as Trunks nodded.
**Thank Dende Dad took that moon away.** Trunks thought as he went into fighting position.
"Let's go, Hon." Pan winked as she and Trunks flew up and started to punch each other.
At first, it was a pure stalemate. The two lovers had trained together and knew each other's moves intimately. They spared regularly and had a good bond between them. However, they kept their own secrets about their abilities when they train with different people. The warriors watched as the two fought on. To those who can't fight with Ki, they looked like a pair of blurs.
Trunks and Pan stopped and smiled at each other. "HA!!!" They yelled as they went Super Saiyan. Their hair glow with the radiant golden power and their eyes were a sharp green. A golden aura surrounded them like a pair of flames.
"I will have to overpower you." Trunks warned as he grinned. His hair spiked up even more and flew at Pan, attacking her again with great ferociousness.
"Wow." Marai Trunks muttered, "That's an impressive Super Saiyan II."
"I know." Torakak replied, "He finally gained that power level after so many years."
Marai Trunks smiled ironically. "I guess that since this Trunks had it easier he didn't train so hard and hence didn't go Super Saiyan as early as I did."
"When did you went Super Saiyan?" Goten asked curious about this man who looked like his best friend.
"Fourteen." Marai Trunks replied as Goten and every other warrior who didn't experience the Cell games for themselves fell over.
"Fourteen?!" Goten repeated, "B-but Trunks, my Trunks, went Super Saiyan when he eight years old."
That time, Marai Trunks fell over hard. "Eight?! How's that possible?! How did he get that much rage become a Super Saiyan?"
"Actually, Trunks and I just turned Super Saiyan one day." Goten answered with the same confused expression that Goku often uses. "We didn't get angry. We just went Super Saiyan."
Marai Trunks' eyes widen to saucers. **Incredible, in this world, my counterpart became powerful at such a young age. Everyone I know in my own world, including myself is weaker than this world's counterpart. Why?**
Trunks shook his head as a barrage of thoughts echoed in his brain. Pan noticed his distraction and used it to her greatest advantage. She punched and kicked as Trunks quickly start dodging. **Hey, Trunks.** Trunks told his counterpart, **Do you mind thinking a bit quieter? I'm trying to win a match here.**
"Sorry." Marai Trunks sighed. It wasn't like he had not experience this dual feeling before. He could still remember the time he rescued his young mother and himself as a baby from death. Of course, back then the baby didn't know what was going on and didn't know that he had an older counterpart running around. Now, it's like he had a long lost twin brother.
Trunks and Pan stopped their attack. "Wanna show off for the cameras?" Trunks offered as his hands glowed. "Galactic donut!" A bright ring circled the woman and entrapped her.
Pan screamed as she let out a bright Ki shield and pried it away from her body. "Gotenks tricks. Nice. Here's a little something I picked up." Pan complimented as she vanish making the 'donut' enclose itself.
She reappeared behind Trunks and wrapped her arm around his neck and used every ounce of force she had and slammed him on the floor.
"Incredible! Pan is using her grandfather's own wrestling moves on her own husband!" The Announcer said as Trunks struggled in his wife's grip.
"Hey! You never did that before!" Trunks protested as he hit her arm.
"A woman is a deep ocean filled with secrets." Pan replied as she smiled.
"Then, let's turn it up." Trunks focused as his hair grew below his waist and his eyebrows vanished.
Marai Trunks gasped in astonishment. "What's that power level?" He asked Bra who was watching with anticipation.
"That's Super Saiyan III. Pretty cool huh?" Bra asked as she smirked. "Didn't you went Super Saiyan III?"
"N-No." Marai Trunks answered, "I never even knew that such a level exists!" **Oh man, is this strange! Can this guy be stronger than me? I better reach Super Saiyan III if I want to avenge Rose's death.**
Pan looked at the transformed Saiyan and shrugged. "Okay, time for another attack." Pan stretched out her arms and glowed.
"What the-?" Trunks muttered as Pan twirled around on her toes slowly and traces of Ki energy flowed out of her fingertips.
"TORNADO OF POWER!!!" Pan yelled out as she twirled faster and faster until she transformed into a living twister of energy.
Trunks jumped back as the tornado moved at him. Even with his super fast eyes, he couldn't tell where to hit and strike. He flew back as Pan strike at him with Ki charged fists.
**She had to be getting dizzy by now.** Trunks thought as he flew up. The tornado remained on the ground but the Ki energies rose and struck the Super Saiyan.
Trunks dodged the blasts and yelled, "KAMEHAME HA!!!" He let loose a bright powerful beam at the tornado. The blast struck the tornado but it swirled around the Ki storm and flew back out. The beam struck Trunks and he was flung up into the air and then more Ki blasts hit Trunks. Overwhelmed, Trunks reverted to Super Saiyan mode.
Finally, the tornado started to slow and instead of Ki blasts, a shirt flew out of the whirlwind and hit the Announcer.
The Announcer looked at the shirt and gulped. It was the yellow top of Pan's outfit. "Ummm..." The Announcer's face grew red and then a pair of pants came out and landed on the floor at the Announcer's feet.
"What is she thinking?" Gohan moaned in disbelief.
The golden tornado stopped completely and standing there was Pan in a bright red bikini. Trunks and every other warriors' jaw dropped and a faint sound of an old fashion car horn could be heard. At once, some of the single men being whistling and making cat calls.
Gohan growled as he flew up and yelled, "IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MY LITTLE GIRL! YOU WILL HAVE TO MESS WITH ME!!!"
At once, everyone became quiet and the roudy boys turned red as they sank into their seats.
"Woah." Marai Trunks groaned as his eyes bludged at the bikini cladded warrior and Gohan's temper. This world's Gohan had the same protective side as his own Gohan.
Pan flew up, grabbed Trunks by the arms and flipped him off of the ring. Trunks, still stunned by Pan's unique attack landed with a thud.
"The winner is Pan Briefs!" The Announcer exclaimed as the crowd cheered. He went over to Pan who was standing there. "Here's your clothes, Mrs. Briefs..." The Announcer glanced at the woman's eyes that are now a pair of swirls.
"Hold on for a second." Pan muttered as she fell over.
The Announcer and Maria face faulted again.
"Oh boy." The Announcer said as he wiped away a bead of sweat off of his forehead.
"Well, next up is Gohan vs. Ubuu." Maria announced as she watched Trunks picking up his wife and taking her off the ring.
"Crew, clean up!" The Announcer said as he looked at the now ruined ring. "Hmmm... the next match will be up in half-hour."
*****
"What a ride." Pan muttered as she put on her gi outfit. Her head still spun from her last attack.
"That was interesting." Marai Trunks commented as he helped his counterpart up.
"Tell me about it." Trunks agreed, "Although, it would have been easier if _someone_ wasn't thinking so loud."
"I think a lot." Marai Trunks explained, "I'll try to think quietly next time you fight."
Trunks glared at his 'reflection'. "Right."
*****
Majunor was sitting while meditiating when he felt a familiar presence. "What do you want?" Majunor demanded as he opened his eyes and looked up at the reporter.
Maria smiled as she gestured to the side. "Majunor? I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
Maria sighed as she took Majunor's hand. "Trust me on this." She insisted as they went down a long hallway and into a room.
"Hey, there, little bro." Barzon said as he came out of the darkness.
Majunor's eyes bluged. "What?!"
"I'm your brother." Barzon explained as he reached into his pocket and got out a small bracelet labled 'Barzon'. "Ya see, my parents told me about how they abandoned a few kids when they were needing money." Tears came down his cheeks as he said, "I know one of them is you. You were founded near a temple right?"
"Perhaps." Majunor said as he crossed his arms and buried his feelings. He didn't trust this man to be his brother. "But what proof do you have?"
"There's a birthmark on your back that looked like an angel's halo and we can have blood tests to prove it. Please, let me prove it." Barzon pleaded as he knelt down.
Majunor tilted his head. The little boy part of him did want to find out where's he's from and who was his true family. Still, his Piccolo side still struggled. "So, it's no publicity stunt?"
"Heh, if it was, I would've advertise that I was looking for my long lost siblings." Barzon laughed, "Come on, little guy, please."
"There's a lab here." Maria offered, "We can get someone to do a DNA test on you two."
"I already have someone." Majunor said, "I know this one guy who's super smart and can do DNA tests."
"Oh really, who?" Barzon asked curiously.
"Mr. Son Gohan. I knew him for a good long time. He's very powerful and very smart."
"Great." Maria said as she checked her watch. "We can do the tests after his battle with Ubuu. If he's not too badly injured."
"He'll be okay." Majunor smirked as he explained, "Gohan's one tough cookie."
*****
After an hour, Maria and the Announcer met at the newly refurnished ring. "Well, this is going to be a very interesting match." Maria commented as she smiled.
"You bet. The next match will be between Gohan and Ubuu Buu. Both very tough fighters who were trained under Goku, a former champion." The Announcer explained, "Also, Gohan had just came out of retirement and had been training hard. Can this man defeat the second most powerful man in the world next to Mr. Satan?"
"Looks like we'll be finding out." Maria said as the two warriors came on the ring.
"And in this corner, a man who needs no introduction... the super powerful warrior only second to Mr. Satan himself, Ubuu Buu!"
Ubuu nodded as he came out on the ring. He was familiar with fame and fortune that came from being Mr. Satan's bodyguard and second in the matches. Now that the tournament will no longer be thrown, he can maybe be true champion for once. That is, if he can beat the others including Torakak formerly Goku, his old sensei.
"And in this corner, the former Great Saiyaman, a man who's brain is as powerful as his body, the one and only... Gohan!"
Gohan smiled as he came up to the ring. He missed moments like this. His Saiyan blood rushed as he gazed at Ubuu. In a way, he missed the feeling of fighting and training to see if he got stronger. After his father left and he started training again, his wife called it a mid-life crisis, his mother called it survivior's guilt, and his daughter calls it cool. He called it a primal instinct that had been suppressed too long and the fact that Goku is no longer around to protect his world and his family.
"Ready, fight!" The Announcer said as he jumped back.
Ubuu and Gohan immediately powered up and attacked each other. It was a long brutal fight as the two fought on. Finally, Gohan punched Ubuu out of the ring and the audience gasped in shock. Someone, other than Mr. Satan had beaten Ubuu.
"Gohan wins!" The Announcer proclaimed as Gohan helped his opponent up and they bowed to each other in mutual respect.
"Is it just me or did that fight go a little too fast?" Rosemary commented.
"It's the author's fault." Majunor replied, "She didn't know anything about Ubuu's attacks so she just make the fight description short."
"Now, next up Vegita vs. Goten!" The Announcer said as he looked around. He edged to Bra and asked, "Did your father came back yet?"
"I'm here!" Vegita boomed as he came back normal sized with Bulma in his arms. Their clothes were disheveled and there were a few rips in their clothes.
"Where were you?" The Announcer asked as he sweatdropped.
Vegita smirked evilly. "It's none of your concern."
"..." The Announcer said nothing as he looked at Maria who was blushing.
"No comment." Maria added on.
"Gohan!" Majunor said as he ran up to Gohan, **I need your help.** He said telepathically.
Gohan nodded as he ate a Senzu bean. **What's wrong? Is it Omioni?**
**No, it's personal.** Majunor said as he grabbed Gohan's hand and dragged him away.
*****
After hearing Majunor's long story, Gohan's jaw dropped. "So, Barzon can be your long lost older brother?"
"Yeah. But I need some tests to prove it." Majunor replied, "Can you do some tests? I trust you and your mind."
Gohan smiled at the boy. It felt good to him to have Piccolo still like and trust him. There was a bond that could be described as fatherly. Now, despite the obvious age differences and maybe role reversal, the bond remains. "Of course. But, I don't have any DNA testing equipment on me."
"I may have something." A middle aged man said as he came up. He had light brown hair and soft blue eyes. "My name is Dr. West."
"Oh! The famous biologist." Gohan said as he shook the man's hand. "I heard a great deal about your work. Majunor, this man had singlehandedly studied a group of bats in the mountains for ten years. That's how you got called 'The Batman', Dr. West, right?"
"Yes and please call me 'Alan'." Alan West said as he smiled, "Let me get my handy BatDNA analyst machine." He got out a small capsule.
"A BatDNA analyst machine?" Majunor repeated.
"Actually, it can be used for all species but I used it for bats mostly." Alan said as they went to a convient empty room. The biologist tossed the capsule to the ground and in a poof of smoke a giant computer appeared. On the top, it was labeled 'BatDNA Analyzer'. "All I need is the two DNA samples to compare. Only a small sample will do."
"I'll get Barzon." Majunor said as he ran off. A split second later, Majunor and Barzon came back.
"He's fast." Barzon said with wide eyes.
"He's like that." Gohan commented as Alan took a needle.
"I hope neither of you are afraid of needles." Alan said as he took Majunor's arm.
"Nah, I'm tough. Ow!" Majunor said as he felt the needle get in deep through his skin.
Barzon remained calm as Dr. West took his DNA sample. "There." He said as he took the tubes and put them into the BatDNA analyzer. "Now, I just flip the switch and it should analyze the DNA and compute whether or not these two are related." He flicked a few switches. The machine hummed and beeped and then a punch card shot out of a slot.
"Isn't that a little primative?" Gohan asked as Alan glanced at the card.
"Not really." He replied as he nodded. "This proves it. Barzon, Majunor... you two are related."
Majunor and Barzon looked at each other.
"All right!" Barzon exclaimed as he picked up the boy and hugged him. "You know, little bro, I won't leave you ever again. I'll protect you and raise you to make up for lost time. I'll even make you go to school so you can get a decent education!"
**Great, just great, just what I need, a male Chi Chi.** Majunor thought grumpy as he was hugged again.
To Be Continued...
Hiya! Torakak here again! Next up is Goten vs. Vegita... Gohan vs. Pan... after that... who knows? Also, how will Majunor cope with his new family?
Next up...
