Descendants, Earth's New Hope

Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the Dragonball/z/gt characters. . .Just so you know. Well actually I only put this here because I have to.



"So that guy in the last town said that the dragonball might be here?"

"All he said is that this village was extremely old fashioned and honored their ancient traditions." Goku put his hands on his hips and looked down at the village. "Maybe it's here."

Vegeta shrugged, "May as well search here."

They walked down the small hill and entered the little village. As they walked through, the citizens stared at them with curious expressions.

"Eh. . .They're staring at us." Kara looked towards Goku.

"Well, they probably aren't used to visitors."

They noticed a man walking towards them. He was different from the others. He wore long robes and had a walking stick with a crystal orb on top, he seemed important.

They stopped in front of him and then he spoke up, "Welcome strangers. I am Hild, ruler of this village."

Vegeta stepped forward and bowed slightly, "My name is Vegeta. These are my friends, Kara and Goku." He had been with his mother to foreign places before. She had always taught him to be polite to people from different places and cultures.

"Why have you come here?"

Vegeta straightened his posture, "We mean no harm. We're looking for something called a dragonball. It's or-"

Hild lowered his head and sighed, "You too. . ."

Vegeta arched his brow. "Pardon me?"

"About three months ago, we were visited by a strange young man. I thought he was human at first but he started killing some of our females by sucking their life forces straight from them. I pleaded for him to stop. He said that he would return in three months and if we didn't give him at least one dragonball and a pure young girl, he'd kill us all. I tried to tell him that we didn't have any of these dragonballs and didn't even know what they were for that matter. He showed one to me and then left, vowing to return."

"I see. . .So did you find one?"

"Yes, after many weeks of searching. . .I'm afraid I can't give it to you, the lives of my people depend on it."

"Hmmm. . .When will the three months be up?"

"Tomorrow night."

Vegeta looked back at the other two, "What do you think guys?"

Goku nodded. "Let's help 'em out."

Vegeta looked back at Hild. "If we get rid of this guy for you, can we have the dragonball?"

Hild stood silent for a moment then took a deep breath, "I can't allow you to put your lives at risk. You should leave now and not get involved."

"Hey, it's no sweat. We really want to help. Besides, we really need that dragonball."

He gave a slight smile, "Thank you for your kindness. Please come with me to my house and I will have my daughter prepare a meal."

The three of them grinned at the promise of a home cooked meal.

*****

"Talch my dear. Welcome our guests, they are here to help us." Hild motioned for the three saiyans to come into his home. They walked through the doorway and looked around. It was small and the smell of cedar wood filled the air.

A young girl with waist long, brunette hair stepped from behind a curtain, which led into another room. She bowed, "Greetings."

"Talch, please bring our guests some food."

The girl bowed and walked back behind the curtain.

"Please sit down."

They sat down on the cushions that were set out on the floor. "I appreciate your offer to help us."

Vegeta smiled, "It' no problem, really."

Hild pointed at something and they turned around to look. It was the two star dragonball, set on a small pillow. They looked back at him.

Something suddenly occurred to Goku. "You say this guy that came here had a dragonball?"

"Yes, one with five stars."

Goku looked at the others, "We may get two out of this."

Kara nodded.

Talch came out with four plates balanced on her arms and one on her head. She gave them each one then sat down with her own. The five of them began to eat.

Goku looked at the girl and talked through a full mouth of food, "This is really good, uh. . ."

"Talch. Thank you, I have a knack for cooking. I only regret that this is the last meal I will prepare for my father."

"Huh?"

Hild gave a long deep sigh, "My daughter is the pure young girl that is to be given to the stranger."

Kara gave him a curious look, "Now by pure, you mean?"

"One who has not given herself to another."

"Uh. . ." She set her plate down, "You mean a virgin?"

Hild nodded

"Heh. . .Well we can't let her be near him, it might be dangerous."

"I don't mind going if it means that I will be saving this village." Talch seemed calm, but on the inside she was terrified.

"Well you're not going to have to, we're here to help after all." Kara sighed and rubbed the back of her neck, "I'll do it."

Vegeta nudged her playfully and grinned, "No way you could go. Didn't you hear them? They need a virgin."

Kara gave him an irritated glance.

Goku laughed until he chocked on his food slightly.

Kara blushed, "You guys are terrible. I never said I wasn't."

Vegeta's grin faded and his eyes widened, "You mean?"

Kara crossed her arms and sighed, "It's awful of you to automatically assume that I've slept with someone before, especially considering my age. I thought you guys respected me more then that." She looked at Vegeta as if she meant him in particular.

"Heh, sorry." He lowered his head and sighed.

"Me too sis, I wasn't trying to upset you."

Talch got to her feet, "I can't let you take my place. You aren't even from here, you shouldn't sacrifice your own well being for me."

Kara gave her a thumbs up, "Don't worry about it. He won't harm me, I'm not going to give him the chance. Once I take his dragonball, I'll beat him up real good and make sure he never bothers the people of this village again."

"He is very powerful."

"So are the three of us. Everything's going to be fine, trust me."

Talch sat back down and bowed her head. "Thank you."
