Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ, I only own the story idea and the new characters unless told otherwise.
A/N, well doesn't seem like anyone likes this story. Oh well, who cares? All I wanted was someone to read it and tell me how to make it better. Doesn't seem like that's going to happen soon, does it? I don't even know why I write up here, it's not like anyone's actually -read- it anyway.
Now I saw a face on the water
It looked humble but willing to fight
I saw the will of a warrior
His yoke is easy and His burden is light'
Lost World
chapter two...................................Musings, and Training
Trunks lay back down on the soft bed of his childhood, his wife laying on her side facing him.
Pan...what-what happens if we don't find a way? He asked tentatively, he heard his wife sigh before laying a reassuring hand on his shoulder and moving closer.
Don't worry...we will find a way, somehow. We always have before, right? She asked, not sure of her self. Trunks turned his head away, not wanting his wife to see, or sense the hot tears coming from his eyes. They didn't have a chance to save themselves or anyone else unless they thought of something soon. Something big. They fell asleep watching the small specks of white fall against their window.
Vegeta...Jael is afraid that you are going to die. S-So am I. Bulma said, tugging on his arm as she pulled him into the bed they shared. The held his face in an inexpressive way, Bulma gazed at him through her curclean eyes. He looked back at her and sighed.
The Tzum-jin have the better of me, even as much as I would like to deny, they would have...destroyed....me if it wasn't for Kakkorot and his Shunkan Idou. Vegeta said, crossing his arms over his broad chest, his eyes held penitence, but they also held a gratitude. Bulma said nothing, but instead flicked the lamp off and rested her head on his shoulder, thinking.
We need to get off the planet...I just don't know how, there are no ships large enough for such a transportation for such a long time. Bulma mumbled more to herself than anyone, but Vegeta still heard her. He roved his eyes over her face in the dark.
Make a ship. Our families can file in the ship, leave, find New Namek, make a few wishes and come back. Vegeta gave a brief plan that needed some touching up. Bulma gave his shoulder a light shove and smiled.
You know, that might work. We could wish that the Tzum-jin can't use their technique, then we wish that everyone and everything be returned to normal after we defeat them. Bulma said, Vegeta shook his head and fell asleep with a reflecting scientist beside him.
Goku...I'm worried about Zoe. She is starting to act like Gohan when he was little. And you -know- she acts like a mini Vegeta. ChiChi said, a concerned look on her face as she slipped into her nightgown. Goku looked up from changing and gave his wife a reassuring smile.
Zoe can handle herself, if she acts like Gohan acted, then good. Gohan was confident in everything he did, well almost everything. Goku shrugged talking his wife by the arms gently, planting a light kiss on her lips. But ChiChi wasn't going to give up.
But my Gohan ran into trouble head on! I don't want Zoe to do the same thing, I don't want her getting hurt. ChiChi said, resting her forehead against Goku's.
You said before she acts like a mini Vegeta. Vegeta rushes head on into battles, with out a second thought. See, Gohan gave it a second thought, he never died, well save at least two times, anyway, Vegeta -has- died, four or five times! Goku argued, he pulled her to the bed laying her down. I have to get up early, so we can talk about this later. ChiChi was about to argue, but decided against it, her husband was right.
Bra....your dads right. We can't just sit here and -wait- for the Tzum-jin to attack... Goten said, as he laid in his quiet and dark room with his wife. Bra pushed her hair behind her ears and stared at her husband in the dark.
Remember my dad also doesn't think about the good things about fighting lethargic aliens. Bra pointed out, Goten grinned and moved his hands to brush them over her violet blue hair. She looked so much like her mother it was scary. Once he even mistook Bulma for Bra when they were aged twenty years back. He kissed her and everything, but he learned his mistake after he flew through the living room wall. Goten chuckled at this memory, confusing Bra. What are you laughing at?
Oh, nothing, just a memory. Goten said, still grinning. Bra shrugged and tried to go to sleep, so much for an intelligent conversation.
Kakkorot! Get your ass down here now! You -know- we are going to learn -your- technique, and if you -don't- get your ass down here I will personally thr-
All right already...I'm comin' I'm comin' Goku whined, jumping from his bedroom window, Vegeta glared heavily at him. His son, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,daughter, some of his grandchildren, and a few others were standing behind him quietly yawning, or trying not to fall asleep while standing. Wow...that 's alot of people to teach. I should go at this in an orderly manner, hey Vegeta, what should I do?
Well, maybe you should explain the details about the damn technique, -then- start worrying about -how- your puny brain can teach -so- many people a simple technique. Vegeta said, partly sarcastic, and partly serious. Goku just looked at him blankly, the others rolled their eyes and shook their heads.
Okay...well first of all, when you want to go somewhere, you need to focus on a large powerlevel, then will your being to go...this is hard...well, I don't really know -how- to explain this but I'll try. You actually -don't- need to use two fingers to your forehead, but you should when you first start. Hmmm... Goku's finger went under his chin in thought, everyone stared at him. He was making absolutely -no- sense. Lets see, you have to tell your body to dematerialize...and then you.... This went on for about two hours before -every-one got the point. So, do you understand now? Everyone just gave him an exasperated look, he had started over from the beginning at least eight times.
Kakkorot, now you need to pick someone to learn it first, preferably someone who has a large energy level so you get the hang of teaching faster. Vegeta explained, but before Goku could pick him, Vegeta left and was out of earshot in seconds. Goku shrugged.
Okay then, well, Gohan, lets go somewhere else. Goku put his hand on his sons shoulder and they disappeared. Everyone stood around, like they were waiting for them to reappear and tell them to hurry up and come along. But no one came and they left to eat breakfast, where they found the cupboards almost bare.
Y'know, sometimes I forget how smart my father is. Bra said, shaking her head, her father left early not because he didn't want to learn the technique, but because he wanted to get a full stomach and no one else had a second thought of why he left in the first place.
Bra...you need to teach him some -manners-. Its not nice to eat all of the food when you have quests. Goten remarked, a grin on his face as his wife stuck her tongue out at him.
All right. Gohan, all you need to do is focus on a large powerlevel, say mine for instances. Are you focused? Goku said, walking a bit farther away from his son. Gohan nodded, by the look on his face, you could tell he was concentrating. All right, place your right hand two fingers to your forehead, then, just will your energy to force itself to dematerialize, just like flying, you need to manipulate it. Gohan's brows came down in attentiveness, sweat trickling along his temple. His fingers to his head, he started to flicker in and out, in and out. Finally he just plain disappeared, Goku looked around, when his son didn't reappear, he scratched his head.
Gohan asked, Goku looked directly above him. Gohan was floating there, looking down at him wit ha confused look. Aren't I supposed to be on the same level as the person I was concentrating on?
Well...maybe you learn that sometimes guess the more you practice, the more you understand until you can do it in your sleep. Anyway, enough of this, I'm hungry... Goku replied with a grin. We can practice, lock on Vegeta's energy, now go! Goku disappeared, Gohan rolled his eyes and placed the fingers to his forehead, concentrated, twenty seconds later he disappeared.
Ack! What the hell is up with you damn Son's! Get the hell away from me! Vegeta snarled, pushing Gohan away from him as he appeared mere inches from him. Gohan grinned.
All right! I still need to work on it though... He turned and walked out of the room. Vegeta glared after him, crossing his arms he waited for a moment before walking out the door also. He turned to opposite way Gohan did and headed toward a door labeled: Stay Out; Dangerous lad' Vegeta took a moment to read it before snorting and opening it. He opened it to see a skeleton of a ship. You aren't done with it yet woman?
Vegeta...I just started on it when you left this morning! I'm not a super -super- genius. Bulma said heatedly, looking up from her work at her scowling mate. Vegeta drifted around the skeleton. It looked sort of like a whale's at the moment. He furrowed his brow and walked over to the blue prints...it looked like a whale. It even had the fins at the bottom. Although it didn't look like a nice whale, it had two dorphin fins at the top, and it looked like it had booster canons on the bottom where a few panels were located.
Are you expecting company along the way? Vegeta questioned, still looking at the prints. Bulma looked at him curiously.
Maybe, you never know. You can't just run out into space and shoot enemies Vegeta, you'd die. Bulma said, pointed her ratchet at him. He rolled his eyes and placed the prints back on the desk and turned toward the door.
Lunch is ready, you'd better eat. At first, Bulma thought he was saying something nice. I want this ship built and running -correctly- by the end of this week, and you have to eat.
All right, your majesty. Bulma said, a sneer on her face as she stood with the help of her knee. She followed him, mimicking his posture. Vegeta had listened to the news earlier that morning, and it is said that the aliens were parked in the Eastern Ghats in India. That wasn't very far from Japan. There was no action from them since yesterday, and they had every single living being moved away from them in a sixty mile radius. When they entered the kitchen Goku and Gohan were tending to their stomach and paid absolutely no heed to them. How rude...
At least they didn't disrupt you while you were in the shower. Vegeta huffed, when Goku had first arrived, he ended up in the shower with Vegeta, who had let out an unprincely like yelp. Vegeta was dressed and dried by the time Gohan arrived though.
Nuh-uh. I didn't disrupt -anyone's- shower. Gohan stated, pausing in his feeding. Vegeta glared at him, them jerked a thumb at his father.
You didn't, but your poor excuse for a father did. Vegeta said gruffly, Vegeta was still edgy from the aliens, and was a little jumpy. He just about jumped -out- of the shower when Goku scared him. Goku apologized then and scrambled out, fearing his life.
Sorry about that... Goku said, rubbing around his ear, his face turning red. Bulma laughed, and pulled out a box of cereal. Vegeta just stood in the middle of the kitchen just watching them.
Dad? Do you want me to go back with you, or are you going to get some one else and train them? Gohan questioned, placing his dishes in the sink. Bulma looked up from her paper, but realized she had nothing to do with the question. Goku looked up from his meal, but Vegeta did first.
You got from there to here, I think you can do with practicing by yourself. Vegeta placed his hand on Goku's shoulder, making sure he was touching less skin than he had to. Goku shrugged and winked at his son before they both disappeared to the same spot Goku and Gohan had been previously.
Oh...lets see. You know how to fly, I know that. Ok, what you do is you manipulate your energy kind of the same way you do when your going to fly, but you use it to gather around you dematerialize you, kinda. You have to focus on something unless you've been doing it for years, like me. It should take you a few feet away from your destination. In Gohan's case, a few feet above. Goku said, his last sentence thoughtfully. He walked about thirty feet away from Vegeta and watching him. Vegeta watching him back for a few seconds before placing the two fingers to his forehead, he felt incredibly stupid. His brow came down lower than normal and perspiration dotted above it. Parts of his looked like he was being torn apart, finally he fazed in, and then out, in and out. He suddenly disappeared. This time, Goku didn't have the time to look around, Vegeta came out of no where and they collided, falling to the ground ina heap. Goku let out a strangled, surprised cry, Vegeta's eyes were as wide as saucers as his infamous creative string of curses flooded his mouth. Vegeta rolled off his and stood, folded arms and a scowl, that was as close as he would ever come to a pout.
I do not think that you are supposed teach me like that you moron! I know for a fact that I am -not- supposed to fly -into- the thing I'm focused on! You lying piece of third class shit! vegeta hollered at the embarrassed, but slightly ornery Goku, who was standing up at the moment. Once up, Goku placed his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes at Vegeta.
I told you to focus your energy on the object, not focus on -where- your going to go once your there. Your not a very good student, Vegeta. You have a temper. Goku said sternly, Vegeta mocked him silently and glared.
Your not a good teacher, jack ass. After a few minutes, both, well Goku, was tired of glaring so he said something to lighten the mood.
Ya, well, at least -I'm- not a Prince who lands on unsuspecting third class soldiers. Goku retorted, leaving Vegeta to glare at him. Goku laughed at himself as Vegeta scowled. Gee, with that kind of attitude, I think you might have to leave and come back tomorrow. You need to cool off there young man! This earned a laugh from Vegeta, who quickly covered his mouth in surprise, and lowered it again in embarrassment at showing such an emotion. Ah, Vegeta! You don't have to worry about them feelings of yours! We all get them from time to time. Goku grinned, then he leaned down and looked around. I promise I won't tell no body. Finally Vegeta laughed, and was happy about it. Goku laughed with him, both forgetting the face that Earth was in danger, but not in danger. This was one unforgettable invasion.
A/N, if anyone -is- actually reading this, then please tell me what you think and if you think any one is out of Character. I know Vegeta was a little bit, but I couldn't help it.
