Chapter 1

Trunks: Is he dead? Will we have to give him a funeral?

Bulma: No, dear. Let's just let him rest. Perhaps he'll wake up soon.

~ They took him onto a hovership and flew off. When they arrived at Capsule Corp., Trunks
takes him in and puts him on a couch. Vegeta came in and looked him over. ~

Vegeta: He's alive.

~ They all wait and an hour later, Goku comes to and jumps up. ~

Bulma: Now, Trunks, don't scare him, and we'll see what he'll do.

King Kai: It is the hardest thing in the world to scare a Saiya-jin, because they are natural fighters and are born to fight anything and anyone. The motto of all Saiya-jin families is, "Never back down from a challenge," and Goku was a true Saiya-jin.

~ Goku looked around the room, decided that there was nothing good to eat, walked around room, stopped, checked to see if any bones were broken, then started sizing up Trunks. ~

Vegeta: Don't worry, brat. That's just his way of seeing if you're a good fighter or not.

~ Goku sized up the boy a bit longer and then started shadow boxing. ~

Bulma: Good gracious. And he's supposed to be a killer! I guess he's so gentle because were kind to him.

Vegeta: All young Saiyans are like that. If Trunks doesn't pull his tail or annoy him, he'll go anywhere and spar with anyone. Better give him some food.

~ Bulma brought insome fried rice and Goku liked it immensely, and when he was finished, he walked outside and searched for any other warriors. When he found a few, he felt better. ~

Goku: (to himself) There are more people here to fight than all my family could ever fight. I will definitely stay and fight.

~ He spent the rest of the day roaming the Earth, getting to know the layout of the planet. ~

~ That night, when Trunks went to bed, Goku decided to sleep on the sofa in his room; but he was a restless companion, because he had to get up and attend to every ki signature and find out what caused it. When Bulma and Vegeta came in, Goku was wide awake. ~

Bulma: I don't like that. He might hurt Trunks.

Vegeta: He'll do no such thing. Trunks is safer that that third-class warrior than if he had an army watching him.

~ They walked back out. ~
