DISCLAIMER: Note that I created this saga, the characters
are not mine though, it takes place between the end of
Dragon Ball Z and the beginning of Dragon Ball GT. The
other change is that Buu is the fat Buu, and Bra, Trunks,
Goten, and Pan are all the same age. This fic is in no way
intended to change GT, in fact, I just imagine DBGT never
existed. Also, I wrote the names in English so it will be
easier to comprehend.
Episode 1- The Warning
Welcome to the peaceful mountains of somewhere in Asia, where fruits are bountiful and practically fall off the tree and into your mouth. Perhaps this is the reason the Son family has decided to live her for so long. As we cross the seemingly endless fields of emerald grass, we see the story before us unfold...
We find Goku, Buu, and Chichi at Goku's house. The two men are having a scrimmage fight. Chichi, getting older every second, yet still maintaining her everlasting beauty prepares on of the many meals a day at the Son residence The men are moving so fast over the landscape that their movements to the untrained eye are, a giant pink and tan ball of unstoppable melee hovering over the forest. If it were a painting, they would be an inkblot to the artist.
Chichi strode out onto the lawn; the aromas of new spring scents filled her nostrils as she tilted her head back. The sun flooded over her slightly aged, but still beautiful, face as she yelled, "dinner!"
Both of the bulky, brawny, and oversized warriors stoped while Goku has a fist in his ribs, and Buu has a foot across his face. They both power down and momentarily hover, so they come to the earth with a dull thud. Goku was sporting a large blood mark dripping down his face the blood dripped until it hit the ground in a small puddle of crimson. With his warrior spirit at its highest, Goku, mesmorized by the constant pitter-patter of his own blood, begins to climb the wall towards his wife.
Goku is halted in his tracks as Buu throws a mild punch at him that knocks him back into the giant crater. "Thanks Chichi," said Buu, as he zips past Chichi and into the table, unable to stop himself. Chichi takes a look inside at the scattered plates and food. A bowl of scattered rice lay broken; it was goku's favorite bowl. "Not a problem ma'am," said the famished Buu as he set to work at the food. "This is still good! MMM!"
Goku pulls himself out of the pit and wipes away the blood on his face. The glint of red crusted on his highlighted hair. Thanks to his sayain-jin ancestry, his mostly unchanged looks are almost contrary since Goku's older than Chichi. Gathering up his weighted clothing and what tattered rags remain of his shirt he kisses his wifes lips gently on the way in.
Goku drops his items and does the anime fall and sweat drop as he sees Buu stroking the floorboards with his long purple tongue. "Aww, now I have to re-wax and bleach the floors." As Goku gets the bleach and wax, he thinks of where he could possibly find a carpenter to fix the splintered remains of the diningroom table.
"Chichi, can I have some more to eat."
"Sure, let me find whatever plates I have left," Chichi begins to pull out ingredients and Buu eats them one by one; rice, flour, eggs, bacon, milk, and the other assortment of breakfast items. "Goku, we need to go shopping very soon."
"I know Chichi, rats got to the mop heads," Goku says as he holds up a mop head missing all of its mop hairs. He tosses the waste outside and incinerates it with a glowing iradescent orb of ki. Goku kneels down and takes his clothes out to the river to clean them and go fishing.
* * * * *
Goku, runs into Krillin and Videl later on. "Hey, guys. What 'sup?" When they did not reply, he figured it was just the air distortion preventing them from hearing him. Goku flies up a little closer, and tries again, this time without a success. Goku begins to become drastic and fires in their path. "Hi, eh? Sorry, er?"
Krillin responded first. "Hey Goku, what is up with the leather jacket, did Chichi drag you through the mall again." Goku didn't catch the smirk that was clearly wisible in the new spring air.
"Ya. Chichi was ranting about the car thing again so is took her to the West Town Mall and now look at me. This thing is so itchy. With just a flex of my muscles I could be rid of it for good." Goku's power began to rise.
Videl stopped him, "Whoa Goku, wait! This jacket is very expensive. It just looks a little tight. my personal tayler could probably fix that for you in a pinch. Let me see it."
"Thanks!" Goku popped out of the jacket as if it were a shell to expose his hidden fighting gi. As if he had planned to dipose of the jacket anyhow. "So what are you heading to C.C. for anyway?"
"Marron is heading into middle school and I want to get her some special text books from Bulma to help with the studies. Middle school can be rough so I am teaching her martial arts."
"I am on my way to meet up with Gohan. He is working on his suit for the Great Sayai-man." After the tournament, his uniform clearly needed to honor the golden fighter and the Great Sayai-man."
"Well, I need to pick up, Goten, so we are all heading in the same direction it appears. Let's go." The three friends/warriors blazed off into the horizon in the direction of Capsule Corperation.
* * * * *
As they cut their speed and hover down to the ground, Bulma and her mom stride out to greet them. As usual, Bulma has a new haircut, this time it's down to the waste and curly at the end. Her mom, a born blond with a Tennessee accent, has a tray with tea or coffee, always dresssed in her tube top.
"Hi guys," said Bulma, with her head cocked to one side and a huge grin on her face. " I just heard the funniest joke! Wan'na hear it?"
"Hi Bulma," said the three visitors simultaneously.
"Will that be tea or coffee," said a familiar, squeaky voice. "It's decaf. Hope you like it."
"Okay, Krillin, I was just in the lab working on Marron's books. I'll take you to them in a moment. Videl, Gohan is in the art room working on his cape. He's been very edgy lately, so please nock first. And Goku, Master Roshi is in the living room watching his daily perverted exercises and Goten is with Trunks and Vegeta in the gravity enhancing capsule training."
* * * * *
Goku, lifting off the ground and bringing himself to a glide, flew around the back towards the capsule containing Gotenks and Vegeta. Pulling off his weighted clothing, he finds that Gotenks has an advantage over Vegeta. Every once in a while Vegeta will land a punch, but shortly thereafter he is sent spinning into a wall followed by a shower of neon yellow ki blasts.
Gotenks cupped his hands together to charge up for the 'Galactic Donut' attack. Goku jumps into action, still strained from the early morning sparring match, quickly fusing with Vegeta. The donuts are easily deflected with a wave of ki that shoots up all the metal shavings. When the dust settles Vegitto appears. The eager grin on his face is sure to make an interesting match.
"Lets take this outside, shall we?" Vegitto points to the lock and easily carves it out with his finger laser. "Come on boy, we don't want to blow the capsule up, now do we?" The jet off towards the horizon, followed in their wake, a minute Gotenks.
* * * * *
"Man dad we almost had you until Goku came and saved you," said upset Trunks, "Looks like no ice-cream 'til next time, Goten."
Vegeta, letting his soft-side show, gave them ice-cream money anyway. Trunks and Goten were so happy they go super saiyan and blast through the roof to look for the ice-cream man. "Don't you dare tell anyone Goku or I'll." Trunks and Goten are back with big purple lips.
"Thanks, dad." Trunks glows with happiness
"Thank you sir" (BELCH)
"You were lucky this time, son, I'm in a good mood."
"Stop kidding them Vegeta, you've gone soft and you know it." The three saiyans burst out in laughter. "Hey Vegeta, what do you have in your fridge?" Vegeta discharges a ki blast at his head and Goku rubs his head.
"Softie, am I! Humph!" Vegeta exits the capsule bearing a towel around his neck.
* * * * *
Videl finds her boyfriend, Gohan. Gohan had recently come out on the news to tell everyone that he was the Golden Fighter and the Saiya-man. Gohan was in the art lab painting gold streaks down his cape (which to him looked really cool, but not to anyone else, also in my opinion, I really don't see how Videl could like Gohan). Gohan had grown taller and had lost white the headpiece and sunglasses. Videl had started to act less like a teenager and more like Bulma strangely.
Gohan finishes his cape and turns around to be three inches away from Videl's blue eyes. "Ahh," said a startled Gohan, "Oh, it's you, Videl. What's up?"
"Hey Gohan my dad won't be home tonight, so I was wondering if you wanted to come over and have dinner with me," Videl asked with her hands behind her back as she stared down and scraped the floor with her foot.
"Okay, I guess. My mom has been telling me for years to get to know you more"
"Great! See ya' at eight o'clock."
"Ok, babe."
"Babe!?"
* * * * *
Meanwhile, Krillin is having is own luck with Dr. Briefs. Krillin walks in to find Dr. Briefs assembling an army of androids with CC inside an oval. Dr. Briefs was calling out their numbers and they walked up to a capsule and got inside.
Krillin stood open mouthed while this was happening. "Ahh, Dr. Briefs, what are you doing? Those are androids!!!"
Dr. Briefs turned around and smiled, "Ohh, hi Krillin. Hey, I've been studying Dr. Gero's work on androids, and these androids may be useful to mankind. They can be workers, solders, or even highly advanced soldiers. The outlook is promising."
"Whew, you had me scared there for a second," Krillin wipes his hands on his pants, "Hey hows Marrons tooter coming. Krillin walked up closer to get a better look at the androids, they hadn't had skin laid on them yet so they looked kind of awkward.
Dr. Briefs pets Kitty, "Now which one was it, oh yes." Dr. Briefs tosses Krillin a capsule. "Make sure she uses it six hours a day non-stop, or it wont work.
"Okay, bye." Krillin shots him a glare in two ways. His aura begins to activate. BANG, through the roof he goes.
"B-, oh, never mind."
* * * * *
As Goku, Gohan, and Goten are heading home Goku gets an important message from King Kai. "HeyGoku, anevilpresenceaiscominginsevendaysand-"
"Wow-wow King Kai, slow it down ten notches. Hold on." Goku slows himself down ten notches as well. Then he puts his fingers on his head and appears in front of King Kai
"Don't do that, Goku! Sorry. Anyway, an evil presence is coming in seven days." King Kai gets that funny upset Kai face.
"Who is he, King Kai?" Goku scratches his head with curiosity and pats his belly because its full. It didn't take Goku long to mess up.
"Goku, the fate of the world lies in your hands." He turns to see Goku teaching Bubbles how to do his new trick. "Were all doomed if that's our savior." The King Kai departs for his chambers to ponder the coming fate of the universe.
"That's it Bubbles, nice job Gregory, oh ya King Kai." Goku runs around looking for the Kai. He even walks into his house and picks up the bed King Kai is laying on. "I'll round up the Z forces right away King Kai, bye, wherever you are." He drops the bed as it splits right in two.
"Bye Goku." King Kai telepathically overwhelms Bubbles with the flick of his antennae, turns Gregory off, and departs from his bed in his little house.
