Hey peeps! Thanks to all who reviewed so quickly! I'm still iffy about a `History of Bra' kinda thing. I need more input. There have been a few who have stepped forward and said they would enjoy one, but that's not enough to convince me. This chappy involves Bra explaining to Goku about her past, blah, blah, blah. My `editor' thinks this is a retarded chapter, but that is what he always says. There is a slight change in the chapter's title. I'm cutting out stuff incase I decide to do a `History of Bra'. Anyways, here's the chappy......

Chapter 3- The Android Threat; Don't say something stupid!

"Umm, hey guys! How did you know I was coming?" Goku asked with a totally confused look on his face. He flew up to the top of the crater where he was tackled by his hysterical son.

"Dad! I missed you so much! I'm so glad your back!" Gohan squeezed his father tight before letting go and returning to his place beside Piccolo.

"Hey, who's this?" Goku asked, suddenly noticing Bra.

Vegeta growled, and replied. "This girl merely wishes to speak with you Kakarott. She says that she's a `fan'."

Goku grinned and laughed, while Bra's cheeks slightly reddened. Goku's expression suddenly became serious.

"I sensed Frieza was on Earth an hour or two ago, but I don't now. Who defeated him? Vegeta? Piccolo? Was it either of you guys?" He stepped towards the two and looked curiously at both of them.

Vegeta growled low in his throat. Piccolo turned his head away from Goku and answered, "The girl was the one who defeated both Frieza and his father King Cold. She became a Super Saiyan to do so."

Goku's eye went wide. "That's so awesome, and at such a young age! I guess that means she a saiyan, huh? Could she have survived the destruction of our home planet, Vegeta?" Goku slid beside Bra and lay his left hand on her shoulder. She slightly flinched at his touch but tried not to let it bother her. The only men who she allowed to touch her were her father and Gohan.

Vegeta smirked slightly, "No, she's a little too young. Perhaps her mother or father survived the destruction of Vegetasei. Besides, even if she was old enough, it wouldn't be possible. She's obviously a `hybrid' Kakarott."

Bra pouted a little at the way Vegeta said `hybrid'.

`He's still jealous at the fact that hybrids of saiyans and humans have a greater potential for power and achieve it more quickly. Poor Papa and his pride.' Her face softened, but then she realized that everyone was now staring at her. She blushed slightly and asked meekly, "What's the problem? Did I say something out loud?"

Goku burst out laughing while everyone else stared blankly at the two. "Nope, I just asked what you wanted to talk about. Don't worry. I hope you didn't think you said something embarrassing!" He chuckled and threw his arm behind his back. (AN: you know, they all do it when they do something stupid and try to laugh it off; it's retarded, I know.)

Bra smirked to herself, "Actually I think it would have been embarrassing for someone else, rather than me."

She glanced over to Krillin who had a huge smile on his face. `Please don't say anything!' she silently mouthed to him, but it was too late.

"Probably something like this, eh Spartacus girl: `Well this hybrid kicked your ass Veggi-chan!' Ha, ha, ha!" Krillin laughed, and was soon joined by Bulma. Bra hung her head and glanced at her father, who she expected would be ready to kill Krillin and her mother. To her surprise, he had a small smirk on his face. He disappeared, but reappeared in front of Krillin. The prince pulled up the monk by his collar and was face to face with him.

"If you wish to live another second, shut the hell up. You should know your place, baldy. It was bad enough with the comment but the nickname is completely unacceptable. If you are ever to say my name again, call me Prince Vegeta or simply Vegeta if you are feeling lucky."

"Oh Vegeta, what a joker!" Goku grinned, laughing even more.

*Bra sweatdropped*

The saiyan dropped a terrified Krillin and turned to Bulma. "Now you," He advanced towards her but Bra quickly stepped in to stop him.

"Come on Prince Vegeta, please stop this. I'm sure they get the message by now!" She stared into his cold eyes and watched as they slowly softened. `The gateway his emotions', Bra whispered silently. Vegeta backed away and leaned against a rock. He quickly crossed his arms and closed his eyes, no doubt deep in meditation.

All the while, Goku was laughing his ass off.

"Kakarott....err..Mr.Goku sir! Stop! I need to speak with you!!" Bra shouted. Goku stopped laughing immediately and stared at the girl. He quickly sobered, the look on her eye demanded his attention (if looks could kill....) All the other Z-fighters tensed up as well. Goku knew of only two women who could demand as much respect: Bulma and his beloved wife ChiChi.

"Mr.Goku sir," Bra said more calmly, "I need to speak with you privately. Will you please follow me." She floated up and landed about 500 yards away from the group and Goku quickly followed.

"Hey! Cool sword! Can I see it?!" Goku asked as soon as he and Bra landed.

Bra sighed but slowly slid it out and handed it to Goku.

"This is so awesome!" he chuckled as he pretended to fight an invisible enemy with it.

"Goku? Do you mind? I came a long way to speak with you." She quickly grabbed the sword away from him and slid it back into its sheath.

Goku hung his head then straightened himself. "Alright. I'm sorry. I can kinda get carried away. How far away are you from?"

Bra smiled and slid off her sunglasses and placed them in her pocket. She took a slow breath and began. "I come from 20 years in the future. As you know I am a saiyan. Well, actually, I'm a demi-saiyan like your son. Only, I am the daughter of a certain saiyan prince."

Goku's jaw dropped. "Vegeta's daughter?! Unreal!!"

"Well, I guess it seems that way. I'm only 18 years old, so I won't be born for another 2 years. I was told that the relationship between my mother and father wasn't even apparent until my birth. Anyways, I came back to warn you of a terrible event that will occur in exactly 3 years. On an island 10 miles south west of south city and 11:00 am, two enemies will attack. They are unlike any other enemy you've battled before. They are androids created right here on the planet Earth. Their creator was the mastermind of Red Ribbon Army. Your former nemesis, Dr.Gero."

"I thought he was dead!! Darn, I should have made sure. What was the aftermath of the battle?"

"You caused him a great deal of pain, Son Goku. He wanted revenge. He created the monsters to kill you but as soon as he awoke them, they turned on him. After that, they started terrorizing the world. Their first attack was on the island I told you about. In that battle, the Earth's Special Forces was virtually wiped out. Tien, Yamacha, Krillin, Choatzu, and Piccolo were all killed defending against their evil might. No, killed is not the word. Massacre, that was how Gohan-sensei described it. We stood no chance against them; they were too powerful. Your son was the lone survivor of the attack. My father wasn't there to help because he swore to my mother that he would stay alive to protect her and myself. I believe if he went, it still would not have made a difference. At that time, he wasn't even a Super Saiyan yet. From time to time he would sneak away to fight the androids while my mother was away. He and Gohan fought hard and managed to escape every time. My mother soon
found out about all this from a slip by Gohan. Papa then promised my mom that he would live, for her and for me. He broke that promise 4 years later when he was defending West Capital from the android attack. Gohan was recovering from a previous battle and could provide no aid to him. My father died an honorable death but I know he felt it must have been in vain. After that day, Gohan became the only defender of the world. When he wasn't fighting the androids, he was training me. After the first few years, he and ChiChi moved in with my mother and I. About 3 years ago, he was killed providing a distraction so the refugees from West Capital could escape to a new safe house. My mother than began to construct a time machine that would allow me to stop any of this from ever happening. I am all that remains of Earth's saviors and I can't do much. The androids are just too powerful that is why I returned. One Super Saiyan could not defeat them, neither could two. Destiny needs to
be changed."

"Wait a sec," Goku said, taking a seat on a rock. It was a lot of information to digest. "What happens to me?"

Bra's face darkened. "You die before any of this happens. You contracted a heart virus while you were on Yardrat, it's lethal, and incurable. At least in this time. I brought the cure from the future." She smiled and tossed a small vile to Goku who slid it onto his pocket.

"Thanks, I appreciate it. Now that I know what's going to happen, maybe I can change the future. Is it alright if I tell the gang about all this?"

"I guess, as long as you don't tell them who I really am. Especially my parents."

"What was that?" Goku said, double taking.

Bra covered her mouth, realizing her blunder.

"Ahh! Is Bulma your mother?!" Goku asked.

The princess nodded her head, "Yes, Yamacha was unfaithful and papa was lonely. Now that you know, please don't tell anyone that much. If you do, I may never be born." Bra smiled weakly and slid back on her glasses.

"Don't worry," Goku grinned back. "You can count on me."

Bra smiled widely and threw her arms around the larger man. "I knew I can, I can feel it." Slowly she stepped away and floated into the air, preparing to blast off.

"One sec," Goku called. " What's your name?"

The Saiyan Princess smiled down at him. "Bra Vegeta Briefs."

"Thank you Bra," Goku smiled. "You just may have saved our world. I promise to train hard. If possible, I'd like you to come back in 3 years to help us fight the androids. Another Super Saiyan couldn't hurt."

"It's the least I can do," Bra whispered back. She lifted off a bit more, taking the time to gaze at her long-dead father and beloved mentor. "I hope I saved you both," she whispered into the wind before flying way silently.

"What did she say dad?" Gohan asked eagerly as soon as Goku returned. He then noticed his father's grim face and slowly backed away. "Daddy? Is something wrong? Who is that girl? What did she tell you?"

Goku smiled sadly and glanced around him at his friends and family. "It's not good news." He said blankly. Slowly everyone gathered around the large saiyan; making sure to hear the story.

"Well, that girl is from the future. 20 years to be exact. Her world is terror stricken and bare. All of us are dead. 3 years from now, 2 enemies of enormous power are going to attack. All of us except for Gohan and Vegeta will die in that battle. You two will die later on, against the two androids. Yes, androids. Created by Dr.Gero for revenge against me. Unfortunately, I'll die sooner than the battle from a stupid heart disease. She came back to give me some medicine for when I feel the effects of the virus and to warn us of the androids. The threat is real and unlike anything we've seen before. I suggest we train for these next 3 years to prepare for the android threat. What do you think?" He looked around at them all again, each with a solemn look on their face.

"I chose to live," declared Vegeta all of a sudden. "I will train for this battle." All the other warriors nodded their head in agreement.

"Hey!" Bulma shouted all of the sudden. "I have an idea. How about all you guys train while I look up some info on this Gero guy. I'm sure there has to be something on him. If I can locate his lab, you guys won't have to worry about fighting the androids head on."

Goku smiled. "That's a good idea Bulma, but let's not get our hopes up. We'll all meet in exactly 3 years at 10:00 am on the island 10 miles SW of South City. That way, there is time to organize an attack."

"Alright Goku," Tien smiled. "Choatzu and I will train. We'll see you in 3 years." They both waved and flew off westward. Vegeta just flew off without a word a few seconds later to the north, probably back to Capsule Corps and the gravity room.

"Hey Piccolo!" Goku grinned at the Namekian. "How would you like to train with Gohan and me?"

Piccolo smiled at Goku and his son. "Sure thing. I'll see you in a few days." With that, he too flew off to Kami knows where.

"Hey Goku," Krillin asked, turning to his best friend. "Where exactly were you after the battle with Frieza?"

"Well, I crash landed on a planet named Yardrat where the people there tended my wounds. I guess they liked me because I could eat as much as they could. They weren't a very strong race, but I picked up a few tricks from them. Like the Instant Transmission. I'll demonstrate." He placed two fingers on his forehead and he disappeared.

"Where did h...." Yamacha's question was interrupted when Goku reappeared, but this time wearing a pair of sunglasses.

"Hey! Those are Roshi's sunglasses! How did you.." Krillin questioned.

"Instant Transmission. I better give these to you to keep them safe." Goku handed the glasses to the monk who put them on himself.

"That was awesome Goku!" declared Bulma. She smiled as Yamacha slide his arm around her waist.

"Do you have any other tricks Goku?" The desert bandit asked.

Strangely, Goku felt a sudden disgust at Yamacha holding Bulma like that. Funny, he's always been a supporter of their relationship, no matter how bumpy it got. He just remembered Bra's words `Yamacha was unfaithful and papa was lonely.' He quickly shook his head and put on a goofy grin.

"Awww come on guys, what fun would that be if I told you all my secrets! Anyways, Krillin, can Gohan stay with Roshi and you at Kame House tonight. I want to surprise ChiChi. I think we deserve some time alone after me being away so long."

The little monk just chuckled to himself, "Whatever you say buddy,"

Goku looked over at Bulma and Yamacha. "Well, I see you whenever guys," They smiled back at him. He suddenly looked directly at Bulma. `Okay Goku buddy, don't say something stupid, please don't screw anything up'. "Hope you have a healthy baby Bulma!" He quickly put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared.
