This saga will be a long one. This will be printable, please print when it is complete to fully enjoy the saga's text instead of sitting and starring at a screen. Also note that this saga was created by me, the characters are not mine though, it takes place between the end of Dragon Ball Z and the beginning of Dragon Ball GT. This should not be taken seriously. Also, I wrote the names in English so it will be easier to comprehend. Since this is so big, expect some mistakes with the tenses past, present, and future.
Episode 4: Vegeta's Discovery
Vegeta wakes up with a severe headache and a desperate need for a senzu bean. He stood up to flex his muscles and felt a sudden surge of energy. "Whoa! Damn Goku, he almost killed me, though now I am much stronger than I was before he shot that stupid attack at me." Vegeta takes the time to get a good look around at the wasteland surrounding the battle field. "What happened here?"
On his way home he finds the crater Goku made. "What the…" The prince sees a giant piece of rock sticking out of the ground. Upon further inspection from the diminutive curiosity of the prince, there was a stone tablet, three rectangular pieces of some unexplained metal, and a set of funny looking bones. He flies to Capsule Corp. to get a hold of his wife.
"Get out here, woman. You have got to see this!" Vegeta knocks the door clearly off it's hinges, tears up the woodwork, and nearly obliterates Bulma's eardrums… or did he? "Woman! I'm not playing! Where are you?" Vegeta looks in her lab to find a note taped to her computer. It reads:
Hi Vegeta,
Went with Chichi to the Mall.
Be Home at 3:00
Love,
Bulma
"Two hours! The prince of the sayains won't be kept waiting for so long. I am the PRINCE! Waiting is ridiculous. (BLAH BLAH BLAH)" On and on he grumbles until he runs into Dr. Briefs with a scowl on his face. "Out of my way old man." Upon reaching his room, he had the greatest idea his puny mind has ever had. "I'll put a cow bell on her." Who's banging on the wall.
"Shut up dad." Trunks minute, yet muscular voice could heard emanating through the wall.
*****************************************************************************
Goku is waiting at the lookout for the appearance of his son and daughter-in-law. Unlike the sayain royal butt, he had scraps of patience left. He was taught some manners (no matter how bumpkinish) by his adopted grandfather, Gohan. Then, there was Master Roshi, who's training kept him on his feet and out of trouble. After meeting Chichi, the frying pan technique changed his whole perspective on life. "Mr. Popo, can I have some food? When is this door opening? Can't we just break it down? Answer me!"
"Here are the answers in the order you said them in. No, 3:00, and No." Mr. Popo turns and walks away to tend to his flowers. He could tell Goku was anxious for some reason, but his face remained, as usual, hard to read. "Why don't you take Goten to get suited up into his first set of armor?"
"Wow will it really be his first set of armor? I had no idea. Okay." Goku turns and walks calmly towards Goten. "Wow son you sure are growing fast. It's time for your first set of sayain armor." He puts on a big anime smile to show his features glowing with glee.
Goten replies with a hop, skip, and a jump. "Really, dad. I want to pick the color, please please please." Goten hops down onto his knees and wraps his arms around his dad's legs, almost tripping him. Eventually Goku lands on his tush.
"Alright, alright!" Goku decides to fly as a rather mild warm-up for what's to come. Over the edge and past Korin's Tower to Capsule Corp. they go.
*****************************************************************************
Once they arrive at Capsule Corp, Goten's young, keen eyes spot something rather peculiar, Vegeta wasn't training in the gravity enhancing capsule. Something was wrong, they walked cautiously into the building, not knowing what mood the prince was in. Past the front door, the living room, the parlor, the kitchen…, the dining room…, past the lab… Vegeta.
Standing half in the shadows with his arms crossed and staring at the ground in his wallowing-in-self-pity look. "What do you want, Goku? Well? What?" He turned his head and spit in the corner. Then he resumed his starring into nothingness.
"I could ask the same." Goku said rather defensively. He was flanked by Goten who gave Vegeta a frown. "Goten, go find Trunks and leave us to talk, okay?" A simple nod from Goten was all he needed. "Now Vegeta, what's got you all uptight today?"
He stepped out of the shadows, still stern, yet he was flexible, "Can you lock on to Bulma's ki signal? I must know now." Once again he spat at the corner.
Putting his two, right hand fingers to his forehead he had an answer to please the obnoxious prince. "Yea, she is at the mall, Chichi is there too. Why?" He walked closer, closer until he was a few paces away from him.
"I… I don't know who, or what, this thing is that I found. All I know is that I need you to bring me Bulma. Got it!" A slight grin was visible through Goku's stature. Two fingers to the head and he was gone. "he better get her soon. I have a funny feeling about this."
*****************************************************************************
Amidst the chaos of the Satan City Mall, there were couples running back and forth (the men were practically on leashes.) However, the aqua haired Bulma (who was dressed in a blue shirt and cawp under a pair of bright orange sweat pants and jacket) and the brightly dressed Chichi were the easiest to spot. Running back and forth between the stores, checking out the food court, trying on new clothes, melting their credit card, and acting as if they were young again.
On their way out, a special someone popped up in front of them out of thin air. "Hi, Chichi, Bulma. Bulma, Vegeta needs you right away, its urgent." Goku's expressions slid out of happiness and into troubles. "Lets go!" He grabbed their wrists and then they were gone. Everyone suddenly stopped and noticed that they disappeared.
*****************************************************************************
"What the hell is going on, Goku?!" Bulma laid her foot down on very few things Goku did, but ruin her time with Chichi was another thing. "Answer me now!" Goku, with his mouth open fumbling for words, got ready to speak up.
"Don't blame him Bulma, I asked him to get you," said her husband as he crept out of his usual shadows. "I found something very unusual at our previous battle field." He used what few memory cells he possessed, "There were stone tablets, bones, and little pieces of metal. Come now."
"Wait. I need to round up some tools and books." Bulma dug out this huge sack and filled it with cutting lasers, chemistry and elemental books, and other various items. She pulled out a capsule and… poof. It was all put away and in her back pocket "Hey Goku, take Chichi home and catch up with us. Which way are we traveling, Vegeta?"
"Northwest."
"Perfect. See ya later Goku." Bulma had one of her intrigued/happy smiles on which made her radiant with beauty.
*****************************************************************************
Fifteen minutes later, they were all at the site and Bulma was setting up for the dig. What is it? Who was it? How did it happen? And what of Gohan and Videl? Find out next time.
