Chapter one

A.N: This fic happens in a/u so lots of things could be different, but ya cell did come and went, no majin buu. Goku is back mostly focuses on Rai.

A flash of light raced passed Pluto, unnoticed, the tiny pod rushed forward, the figure inside waiting anxiously to land, *three more hours* the figure repeated as it sat back down. The machines around her were all stark, and black, showing the condition of the old craft.

The figure who had again retreated into the dark shadows of the pod reached over and set the alarm clock to 2 and a half hours, enough time to rest and be on my feet. The figure rested its head back against the comfortable cushion of the seat and fell asleep.

Close to the dark forest, where a woman slowly hung her clothes to dry after washing them, a cool breeze picked up, quickly getting faster and faster, it raced about her and past her, as if trying to warn her of bad news, trying to get her to safety.

The woman dropped her basket and rushed into her house, where her son was taking a short nap due to having a cold. She sighed as she rushed around the house, shutting all doors and windows, and putting down curtains and drapes.

Finally she headed to the couch where her son lay; she sat at the end, close to his feet and turned on the TV. She flicked it to her normal channel where she watched soap opera's and relaxed against the couch, not knowing that the instant the winds had started, the earth had gotten itself yet into another round of troubles.

~* * * * * *~

The pod crashed into the earth, sending tremors all around the land, quickly the door opened and a figure stepped out, quickly shutting the door and punching a few buttons onto the tiny remote control in its hand. It sent the pod to the moon; it was not going to be detected there.

Then the figure took to air and quickly rushed through the desert plains where it had landed and towards a bunch of small islands. The figure quickly sported a thickly forested island and decided to land there. There would be a good supply of meat and fruits plus no one would go wandering in there.
