DragonBall Dilemma
Chapter 5
Two space pods entered the atmosphere at top speed. The saiyan space pods landed in the middle of west capital. People gathered around to see what all the commotion was. The two space pods opened and revealed two men. One was gigantic. He was bald, but had a black mustache. The other was shorter, but still muscular. He had very long black hair that resembled a lion mane. Each had a device attached to the side of their head that covered one eye with a see through glass. The shorter one pushed the button on his and numbers began to scramble on the miniature screen.
"Over there Nappa. I sense Vegeta's power signature in that direction. There are also many other significant power levels. This may prove to be more fun than we originally thought," he said.
"All right Radditz, let's go. I still wonder why the prince hasn't laid this planet to waist though," said Nappa.
"I'm sure his highness has a reason," replied Radditz as they flew off in Vegeta's direction.
Trunks and Pan sensed the two coming towards them. They decided that they should speak up, and not give everyone the unwelcome surprise.
Bulma landed the ship on the island, but Trunks spoke before they all got off.
"Wait guys. Pan and I sense that Nappa and Radditz are here on earth and they are heading our way," said Trunks.
"Who are Nappa and Radditz?" asked Bulma.
"They are my elite soldiers. They have come to retrieve Kakarot and me. Then we will destroy this planet," said Vegeta.
"Pan and I will stand in your way. Do you think you can handle two super saiyans?" asked Trunks. Vegeta narrowed his gaze. He knew the boy was right.
"I think we need to confront them away from civilians. Maybe we can convince them that an attempt to destroy the earth wouldn't work," said Pan. Vegeta nodded.
"Does this mean you're staying on earth Vegeta?" asked Bulma.
"Yes woman, I don't really have a choice in the matter," growled Vegeta. Bulma leapt into his arms and kissed him. Vegeta was purely shocked, but found himself unable to do anything but kiss back. Vegeta broke the kiss.
**Well, it looks like you'll be born after all. Maybe earlier than we thought,** said Pan as she nudged him. Trunks blushed.
"Woman! Not in public!" he yelled. Bulma only smiled. He didn't say that he hated the kiss.
"Can you fly?" asked Trunks.
"Of course I can stupid boy! I have known how to fly since I was three!" he spat.
"Okay, okay, Goku can you use Nimbus?" asked Trunks.
"Sure, but I still don't understand who this Nappa and Radditz are. Isn't Nappa cabbage? I had cabbage once, it was pretty yummy," said the childish Goku. Pan rolled her eyes.
"Nappa and Radditz are saiyans like you and Vegeta. Radditz is your older brother," said Pan.
"But I don't have a brother," commented Goku.
"Idiot! You are not even worth the time or explanation!" yelled Vegeta.
Goku scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"Flying Nimbus!" he called. Goku hopped on Nimbus and Vegeta followed Trunks and Pan through the air. They left Bulma, Roshi, Yamcha, Krillin, Oolong, Lunch, and Puar to attend the tournament.
"I can't believe you kissed him!" yelled Yamcha.
"Well I happen to like him. Even if he is arrogant and mean, I think I love him," admitted Bulma.
"Are you sure you really love him, or just because you supposedly have a son in the future with the bastard," spat Yamcha.
Bulma growled.
"That's my future family you're insulting there buster, and if you don't stop, I'll stick Vegeta on you!" she yelled.
"All right, all right!" cried Yamcha as he held up his hands in defeat.
Vegeta and Goku followed Trunks and Pan through the air. Soon they could see two figures flying directly towards them. Trunks and Pan began to slow down and descended onto a small island. Trunks, Pan, Vegeta, and Goku landed. They were soon followed by the two saiyans. Nappa and Radditz landed before them.
"Prince Vegeta, we have finally found you. How did you get here? You just disappeared into thin air," ranted Nappa.
"Hn, that's none of your concern Nappa," spat Vegeta.
"Well, is that my little brother there?" asked Radditz.
"My name is Goku!" he said cheerfully. Radditz frowned.
"No, your name is Kakarot," said Radditz.
"But everyone calls me Goku here," said Goku.
"Well, I am going to call you Kakarot," growled Radditz.
"Okay," replied Goku, unchanged by his tone.
"Vegeta, why haven't you destroyed this planet yet, and who are they?" asked Nappa as he pointed at Trunks and Pan.
"We are not going to destroy this planet Nappa," stated Vegeta.
"But why Vegeta?" asked Nappa.
"Because you can't, you big oaf," said Pan. Nappa growled.
"What did you say girl!" he yelled as he hoisted her small form up by her shirt. Trunks knew that Pan was perfectly capable of taking a weakling like Nappa down, but his anger gauge blew when he saw Nappa touch her. He blazed into super saiyan form and released Pan from Nappa's grip. He shoved his foot into Nappa's abdomen and knocked him off his feet.
"If you ever lay your hands on my mate again, I will kill you," he snarled. Nappa looked at him in shock.
"You're a super saiyan! But how...?" he stuttered.
"Pan and I are both super saiyans. We are from the future. You try to destroy the earth, and we will stop you," said Trunks as he powered down.
"So you can either live here on earth in peace, or you can go back to your servitude to Frieza," said Pan.
"But if you are saiyans from the future, then you can only be half-saiyan," said Radditz.
"The boy is half-saiyan because he is my son from the future. And the girl is only a quarter saiyan, because she is Kakarot's grand brat," explained Vegeta.
"But how could they be super saiyans with their tainted human blood?" spat Radditz.
"Our human blood accents our abilities rather than taints them as you would like to believe," retorted Trunks. Radditz snarled. This boy was definitely Vegeta's son, and he didn't like him.
Radditz and Nappa realized they had little choice and they went back to Capsule Corp with Vegeta, Goku, Trunks, and Pan. Goku was slightly disappointed that he missed the tournament, but Master Roshi promised him that there would be many more opportunities. He also said that Goku would have probably lost to Jackie Chun, the champion of the tournament anyway.
Goku decided that he would now go in search of his grandfather's dragon ball. He took Bulma's dragon radar and headed off for the adventure. Krillin stayed on Master Roshi's island. Bulma fixed the time capsule. But Trunks and Pan knew that they couldn't leave things like they were. So reluctantly, Trunks sent Pan back to the future in the time capsule to inform Bulma of the situation. Once she had reported to Bulma she would return.
In the meantime, Trunks trained daily with Nappa, Radditz, and Vegeta. Nappa and Radditz seemed to be adjusting well to earth, but he didn't feel as if he could trust them quite yet.
The time capsule appeared in the front yard of Capsule Corp. Pan jumped out and ran inside.
"Pan! Where have you been? Where's Trunks?" asked Bulma.
"He's okay Bulma, but it's a long story," said Pan.
Pan and Bulma sat down, while Pan explained the situation. Bulma was baffled.
"So I used the dragonballs, and got Vegeta?" she asked in amazement.
"Yea, isn't that wild," replied Pan.
"So you're going back for a while?" asked Bulma.
"Yea, we have to make sure things turn out okay. They wouldn't survive an encounter with Frieza right now. We need to be there to make sure everything goes okay," said Pan. Bulma smiled.
"Well, I know messing with time is bad, but I do know a way that you can make that future a little better," smiled Bulma.
"How?" asked Pan.
"You and Trunks can make sure that Dr. Gero doesn't live after the collapse of the red ribbon army," stated Bulma. Pan's eyes went wide and then she smiled.
"Bulma, you're brilliant! The androids and Cell will never exist in that time!" exclaimed Pan.
"Yes I am a genius aren't I? It's going to be lonely without you guys around here though," she said.
"Well, if you want something to keep you busy, you can plan a wedding," smiled Pan. Bulma gasped.
"Did that shy son of mine finally propose to you?!" asked Bulma. Pan blushed.
"Oh! I see he proposed the saiyan way huh?" she smiled knowingly. Pan nodded shyly.
"ChiChi and I are going to have so much fun! When you two come back, we are going to have the biggest celebration this world has seen in twenty years!" exclaimed Bulma with excitement.
Pan shakes her head wondering if telling Bulma was such a good idea. She kissed Bulma goodbye and hopped into the time capsule. She decided that when this was over, her and Trunks were not going to do anymore time traveling, but space travel sounded quite interesting. She smiled at the thought of traveling all over the universe for their honeymoon. Her reverie was interrupted as the time capsule landed in the past.
AN: Hope you liked it! In the next chapter, Trunks and Pan make a date with the mastermind behind the red ribbon army. Frieza gets angry that the saiyans haven't returned. He departs for earth. This and more mayhem in chapter 6 of DragonBall Dilemma. Please review!
