Author's Note – Hey guys! Here's chapter two. Muwahahaha, it's got quite a bit of explaining, and some comedy. And don't worry. For all of you wondering why the hell this fic is rated NC-17, calm your fears! It does get worse, or better, whichever way you see it! ;) The first few chapters are basically introductions. Also, for all of you DBZ information buffs out there, I made Goku come back from his training a bit earlier so he could be in this part, so Trunks hasn't come and killed Freiza yet. But soon. Anyhow, for now, here's the next chap, enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Some Anguish in the Past
"So, you're from the planet Enogu huh? Well, I have to admit, I've never heard of it. It must be pretty far away." Goku pondered as Zoa continued recalling events and places from her memory. She nodded solemnly as Goku said this. "Yes, my parents were sent to destroy it. But, they weren't violent like most Saiyans, so instead, they stayed there and became friends with the people. Until, until everything happened…" Goku frowned as she stopped talking, looking down at the blankets quietly. Gohan sat in quiet seriousness as his father continued to talk.
"So, you say that your father became the protector of the planet, is that right?" Zoa nodded, smiling slightly. "Yes, he was. My grandpa was actually the protector of the Saiyan planet, um Plant, right? Well, my dad inherited the power to heal people from him. So, he used it to help the people on planet Enogu. But, he was killed, along with almost everyone else when they came."
"When who came?" Goku asked softly, feeling great sympathy for the child. By the sounds of it, she was one of the sole survivors of the attack.
"I don't know for sure. All I know is that they were Freiza's men. They talked of how they were going to make the planet "Freiza Planet 97', whatever that means. They, they were awful, and they killed everyone…" Goku watched a single tear run down Zoa's check as she finished. This kid must have some incredible strength to survive something like that, Goku thought to himself, Kind of like Gohan…
Goku stood up, clapping his hands together. "Well! You probably don't want to have to think about it again right now; after all you've been through. So, what do you say we get out of here? You can come stay with us if you like!" Gohan grinned, sitting up straight. "Yeah! And I can introduce you to every one! Icarus, my Mom, Piccolo… Wow! This is so cool! They'll be so surprised to find out we met another Saiyan! Haha!" Gohan laughed getting up and heading towards the door. "Well, we'll let you change and stuff." Goku explained as they headed outside. "We'll be in the waiting room!" Zoa nodded, giving them a bright smile. "Cool!" She waved as Goku shut the door and they disappeared from sight.
Boy, Zoa thought as she sat staring at the door for a few moments, I may be stuck here, but who guessed I would find some other actual Saiyans to be stuck with?!
"So all ready to go?" Goku inquired as Zoa appeared, carrying a few bags with her. Gohan jumped up from his chair and politely offered to take one for her. Zoa smiled, thanking him as he slung the bag over his back. "Yeah, sounds good! Thanks again for letting me stay with you. It's really very kind." Goku shrugged, a goofy Son grin plastered on his face. "Hey, we couldn't just abandon a fellow Saiyan in need, right? Besides, you still have to meet the gang." Gohan's face suddenly lit up as he got an idea.
"Hey Dad! Can we stop by the Lookout Point on the way back? Then we can introduce Zoa to Kame, and Mr. Popo, and thank Korrin for the Senzu beans!" Goku nodded his agreement of the idea. "Alright! Hey Zoa, you know how to fly, right?" Goku asked, stopping himself at the realization that just because she was Saiyan didn't necessarily mean she could fly… But his fears were quickly put aside.
"Of course!" Zoa exclaimed happily as Goku pushed open the doors and they stepped outside. "I think I learnt to fly the day after I learnt to walk!" Goku, Gohan, and Zoa all had a good chuckle at this as they met the warm afternoon sunlight. Goku stopped suddenly, scratching the back of his head. "Or I guess we could just use my Instant transmission…" He decided, "Unless you guys want to get some exercise that is!" Zoa raised an eyebrow at his mention of this transportation method. "What's 'Instant transmission'?" She asked in confusion to Goku. Gohan laughed attempting to explain.
"Well, it's this new move my Dad learnt while he was gone. Actually, he just got back from months of training a little while ago! It allows you to transport yourself to someone else. You and whoever is touching you." Zoa nodded her understanding. "Cool! Must be helpful." Goku nodded, closing the doors behind him. "Yeah, it comes in handy! Hey look!" He exclaimed, pointing to a bounding figure running towards them, "Looks like someone is glad to see us!" Gohan grinned as Icarus bounded up to them, gargling strange noises as he did so.
"This is Icarus!" Gohan introduced as Icarus waved happily at Zoa. "He's the one who found you!" Zoa smiled, bowing politely. "Pleased to meet you! Thank you for saving me, I definitely owe you all one!" Gohan shrugged his shoulders, waving a hand. "Hey, like we said, no problem! Right?" Icarus nodded enthusiastically, always happy to meet new friends. "Now come on!" Goku insisted, "We still have to stop at the Lookout Point, and we don't want to be late for supper, or your mother will kill me!"
Korrin nodded, walking towards the table. "Are you sure you can't stay for something to eat?" He asked, tilting his head as the three Saiyans hovered just above the platform. Goku shook his head regretfully, tightening the belt on his training Gi. "I'm afraid not. Chi Chi already said she'd cook, and I'd rather not get her angry with me. But another time for sure!" He smiled, giving him a two finger wave. Korrin shook his head smiling. "Well, see you later then. And I'll say hi to Yah Jarobi for you, I'm sure he would have been happy to see you if he hadn't been sleeping…" Goku laughed as Korrin glanced towards the back of the abode. "Anyhow, goodbye! And nice meeting you Zoa!" Zoa waved, nodding. "Nice to meet you too! And thank you for the Senzu beans!" With that, they took off towards the upper level, which was the Lookout Point. Goku frowned, constantly looking worriedly at them.
"I really think I should buy a watch…" He decided, as he had pretty much NO idea what time it was. Gohan chuckled at this. "Don't worry Dad, I'm sure Mom won't mind if we're a little late!" Goku grimaced. "I hope you're right." Zoa frowned as she listened to their conversation, getting a rather interesting impression of Gohan's mother. "I take it your mom is kind of strict?" She asked, leaning over and whispering her question to Gohan. Gohan's eyes widened in response. "You have no idea!" He laughed as they touched down soundlessly on the tile floor of the Lookout Point.
"Hello!" Goku called as they walked towards the Palace. "Anybody home?" Gohan grinned as they got closer, and he heard some commotion inside.
"Now you get to meet Kame and Mr. Popo!" He explained excitedly to Zoa as they followed Goku inside. "And if we're lucky, maybe he'll have baked some of his famous brownies for us to take home for dessert!"
