Yambia had barely led Gerald out of the living room when a weight smacked up against her ribs. She automatically caught the load before it could fall to the floor. To her amazement, little Gerald was smiling up at her from her arms.
"Wha? How'd you do that?" Yambia asked in a shocked voice.
"Do what?" Roger's father said from behind them.
"Umm.. I don't know. I guess he was flying to find me." Yambia replied not really convinced. "Could he have mastered the instant transmission technique already?" Yambia thought. "Is that possible? Goku said it took him months to learn that technique!"
"Can I hold him?" Big Gerald asked.
"Yes, but be careful, he's very strong." Yambia warned.
Little Gerald was getting the hang of things though. He had noticed that the people with energy levels he could feel strongly were strong people, and the ones that he couldn't feel very well was weaker and he was beginning to act accordingly. Probably as close as one gets to social skills when one happens to be a baby Super Saiyan. This one was weak, but he had a kind smile so little Gerald decided to behave, at least for now. But little Gerald was getting rather frustrated with his inability to communicate. He had tried to imitate the sounds his mother was making, but she didn't seem to understand, and he couldn't understand her. He did share an empathic link with her though, so he knew what she was feeling although he couldn't understand all of the feelings. That one that they called Goku though, he was clear as a bell. Little Gerald could understand his thoughts. Gerald could make him understand, he was sure of it. Little Gerald had a lot of questions.
Kirillin entered the living room and smiled as he spied Yambia and the baby. Gerald had just handed little Gerald back to his mother. "He's a real charmer!" Kirillin said as he held out his hands to hold the baby.
Little Gerald picked that particular moment to go find Goku. Both Kirillin and Yambia still had a hold of Little Gerald.
"What's he doing?" Kirillin asked as two baby fingers rested on the baby's forehead.
"What? Oh no!" Yambia said just before they all disappeared leaving one flabbergasted Gerald Sr. behind.
"I tell you Vegeta, that kid looked into my eyes at one point I could swear that he was trying to read my mind!" Goku said.
"Kids can read comic books at an early age Kakkarot." Vegeta smirked.
"Vegeta I'm serious! That kid is special! He will need to be trained to use his powers. Do you realize that he could accidentally destroy Earth at his power level?" Goku warned.
Vegeta stopped, clearly he had not thought of that possibility. "He's just a kid…"
"Yeah, just a kid with the ability to go double Mystic Ascended Super Saiyan!" Goku reminded the prince.
"His mother should be able to control him." Vegeta said.
"Yes, that is the only reason I've left him on Earth." Goku sighed. "I don't think we have anything to worry abou…. What the heck??" Goku said surprised as Yambia, Kirillin, and baby Gerald appeared directly between him and Vegeta.
Goku saw the baby remove two fingers from his forehead.
Goku looked slack-jawed at the baby. "You.. You know instant transmission!" Goku stammered.
Before anyone else could say a word, Goku's mind was suddenly filled with images and emotions. Goku held his head desperately trying to sort out what was being communicated to him.
"Kakkarot! What is happening?" Vegeta looked worried.
"The baby is trying to ask me something, but his thoughts are too fast! I've just getting a blur of images and emotions. Nothing makes much sense!" Goku said.
As suddenly as it began, it stopped. Goku looked up to see the baby looking at him quizzically. Goku put out a mental image of his own, one he hoped the baby would recognize as 'slower'.
In his short life, baby Gerald had come to recognize that he, his mother, Goku, and Vegeta was different than the others on Earth. Gerald's first question, which Goku finally understood, amounted to no more than; "Who are we?"
Goku reached out his hand and placed it on the boy's forehead and flash fed him everything Goku knew about Saiyans, the adventures and battles the Z-Warriors had shared, and as much as he could about Roger and Yambia, drawing on what Vegeta had told him.
Goku also found what he was looking for. Little Gerald was a genius!
When Goku and little Gerald broke the link, the boy had mentally downloaded just about everything in Goku's head. Including language information from Goku's speech center.
Goku broke the link and stepped back. "Whoa! This kid is something else!"
Little Gerald looked around with new eyes. He knew who he was, and who the people around him were, and he also knew just how much trouble everyone was in.
"Gerald?" Yambia started towards her son.
"It's okay mother, I am fine." Gerald said.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"We can't stay here very long Namek." King Vegeta said. "Those demons may regroup and cause more problems."
"I know, but let everyone finish eating." Piccolo said. "We have a plan, of sorts."
The plan was basic and simple. King Vegeta would take his people and attack Cordell's forces, and Team One would wait for the appropriate moment and destroy the conduit generator.
"It's a good thing that the Ultimate Kai gave your people those dynocaps full of food." Piccolo observed.
"Yes, otherwise we'd have some pretty grumpy Saiyans on our hands right now." King Vegeta smirked.
"Did you lose anyone during the fight?" Piccolo wanted to know.
King Vegeta looked sad suddenly. "Yes, 163 people. All of them Super Saiyan Threes."
"I was wondering if sending the Super Saiyan Threes and Fours into this battle is a wise thing." Piccolo started. "They just distract the others from the battle."
"What do you suggest?"
"Send the Super Saiyan Threes and Fours up the shaft, and out King Emma's drawer. I'll give them directions on how to leave Hell, and let them join Vegeta and Goku in their fight on the outside. The Super Saiyan Fives will be able to fight more efficiently here." Piccolo explained. "Goku and Vegeta will sense them the second they leave Hell, and will know what to do."
King Vegeta thought for a long time. "Your words make sense. Let it be done then."
Half an hour later several million Saiyans went howling up the shaft back towards Hell, while less than two hundred Saiyans, one Namekian, and one Human girl reentered The Demon Realm.
"I hope King Emma is in a good mood today." Piccolo worried silently.
"Ok Jessica, it's up to you. Which way?" Piccolo asked.
"That way Piccolo. That is the way to the Conduit Generator." Jessica pointed.
"Let's go!" Gohan said, anxious to have this over with.
Roger pushed the bubble at a good clip in the direction Jessica indicated.
"Let's go men." King Vegeta took off and passed Team One with his men, keeping out ahead of them to stop trouble should it show.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"You pass!" King Emma pronounced judgement on the most recent spirit to come before him. King Emma seen that there was no more line, and propped his feet up to relax a bit. King Emma's job didn't leave much time for relaxation, so he took it whenever it came along.
Suddenly, King Emma felt his desk quiver a bit. King Emma rolled open an eye and looked around to find a cause for the shake. Finding nothing he closed his eye again in an attempt to catch a few winks.
The desk shook and jumped several feet off the floor. King Emma fell over backward hitting the floor with a resounding thud!
"What the Hell is going on!" The big demon bellowed.
King Emma looked up as his right hand drawer opened and about a dozen black haired people looked over the edge at him.
"Oh hey, we're sorry dude, are you okay?" Cucumbus said.
"DUDE??!?" King Emma said standing to his full height.
"You must be King Emma. We are supposed to go and find Prince Vegeta and some guy called Goku. Can you help us?" Cucumbus said.
"You're all Saiyans!" King Emma said. "Where are your halos? How did you escape Hell?"
"It's a long story, but the Ultimate Kai redeemed all of us and gave us our lives back to fight this Cordell character." Cucumbus said.
"The Ultimate Kai!?!?!" King Emma stammered. "Very well, if you go through that portal right over there you will find yourself at Earth's Lookout. Once you are there, Vegeta and Goku will find you." King Emma waved his hand and formed a dimensional portal.
"Thanks!" Cucumbus said and flew out of the drawer, followed by hordes and hordes of Saiyans.
"Good Kami! How many of you are there!" King Emma blustered.
One Saiyan by the name of Kress stopped. "Oh, about 30 million, give or take a few thousand."
Kress flew on ahead to catch up to Cucumbus. Kress addressed Cucumbus as a 3rd class warrior would address an Elite Guard.
"My lord, I wish to have a word with you." Cucumbus motioned him to fly with him.
"What is it Kress?" Cucumbus asked.
"My lord, when I died I was assigned to a team of scientists that was studying a temporal stasis technology, which they finished. When Frieza blew up our world, I tossed my daughter into the stasis field. If it has been undisturbed, she is still there today. I request permission to go to the moon called Cabbage to rescue her." Kress asked.
Cucumbus thought a while. "You will get that opportunity Kress, although it may not be right away, there are far more dire matters at hand."
"Understood my lord. At the first opportunity then?" Kress looked hopeful.
"You have my word." Cucumbus smiled. "Meanwhile, I suggest you tell as many Saiyans about your daughter as you can. If we fall in battle, there needs to be as many that know of your daughter as possible to ensure her rescue."
"Right away sir!" Kress ran off to fulfill Cucumber's wishes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Dendi! Come quick!" Mr. Popo exclaimed.
Dendi having just woke up from a well-deserved nap came out. "What is it Mr. Popo?"
"The sky is filling up with Saiyans!!" Mr. Popo yelled.
"Oh my!" Dendi looked all about Kami's Lookout was more Saiyans than Dendi could count.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"There it is again!" Goku exclaimed. "Now they're on Earth! I can't ignore it this time!"
Goku and Vegeta placed two fingers on their foreheads and disappeared.
Baby Gerald, with his mother still holding him, followed suit.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Are you Dendi?" Cucumbus asked.
"I am." Dendi said simply.
"We have been sent by King Vegeta and your friend Piccolo to find Prince Vegeta and Goku and join them in the upcoming battle." Cucumbus said respectfully.
"Then you have found us." Vegeta said from behind Cucumbus. At the sound of Vegeta's voice, every Saiyan that was flying sought a spot on the lookout, and all kneeled before the Prince. Not all could find a spot, so many kneeled in mid-air.
"Vegeta! Are these..." Goku started.
"Yes Kakkarot, these are our people." Vegeta smiled. "Arise Saiyans!" Vegeta yelled.
"So, you have come to join us in battle?" Vegeta asked.
"If you will have us my lord." Cucumbus never met Vegeta's gaze.
"What have you to offer?" Vegeta prodded.
Cucumbus smirked and flew into the air, sparking into Super Saiyan Four.
"Impressive!" Vegeta said.
"Yes, quite impressive." Goku agreed.
"Yambia, go and show him what you can do." Vegeta smirked.
"Hold the boy for a minute then Vegeta." Yambia smiled from ear to ear.
"Umm... Sure... By the way, what is this brat's name?" Vegeta said.
"Gerald Vegeta Clawson." Yambia said.
Vegeta was speechless, but he took the baby.
"What? Did someone say Yambia?" Kress was in the middle of telling someone about his daughter when he heard her name being spoken. Then, the insanity, he heard her voice! How can this be? Kress began to fly up towards where Vegeta was.
Yambia flew up to the unsuspecting Cucumbus. "Just what can a female do then?" Cucumbus scoffed.
"Much when they put their minds to it." Yambia then powered up to Mystic Super Saiyan Four leaving Cucumbus speechless.
"That is her! That's my daughter! She survived!" Kress flew up behind Yambia. "Look how strong she's become!"
"Yambia!" Kress called.
Yambia turned around quickly in a defense posture. She blinked her eyes a few times. "Father?"
"Yes Yambia, it is I." Kress smiled.
Yambia smiled. "When this is all over, you and I are going to have a long talk about tossing people into untested time distortion fields."
"You're not still mad about that are you?" Kress smiled.
"Let's get back to Vegeta, I have someone I want you to meet." Yambia said.
Father and daughter flew back down towards the lookout leaving a bewildered Cucumbus behind; presently he followed them down. Yambia took Gerald from Vegeta and presented him to her father.
"This is my son, Gerald Vegeta Clawson, your grandson." Yambia told the surprised Kress.
"Yambia! You're mated?" Kress said. "You know I'm supposed to approve of...."
"Sorry Dad, but you were a little dead at the time" Yambia interrupted.
"I suppose you're right. Anyone you chose will be fine." Kress said. "Now, what about this grandson of mine? Is he strong?" Kress reached out before Yambia could stop him and grabbed Gerald's tail and gave it a good squeeze, which resulted in a yelp from Gerald.
"Dad don't!! You don't know what....." Yambia started as Kress gave Gerald's tail an even stronger squeeze.
"Nonsense! The boy can take it!" Kress said.
Suddenly Gerald shot out of Yambia's arms like a bullet, knocking Kress down like a ten pin. Gerald became awash in a golden glow as his eyes turned teal and his hair turned golden. Mystic Super Saiyan Two Gerald floated six foot above Kress glowering at him menacingly.
