Dragon Ball Omega

Episode 3: Legendary Warrior! Enter Goku!



Vegeta and Triks were on their way to Pan's house and were moving as fast as

they could. Although, to them, they were moving slow. Vegeta could sense that

Triks would look in his direction every once in a while and he knew it wasn't

because she was worried about him. She was worried about Goku. He knew how

she felt about him. Ever since they were little kids and they had first met at the

World Martial Arts tournament she had always hung around him. Sometimes he

didn't even have to ask her to go spy on him. Some days she would just be gone

and show up later saying she had been "playing" with him. He knew what that

meant to. It meant that they had been sparring and Goku had been winning. He

didn't like the fact his sister liked..... maybe even loved his best friend and rival

but he would get over it. She would hate him forever if he didn't. He looked over

in her direction and caught her looking at Goku. She blushed and turned her head

away. He flew over to her and said, "It's okay, sis. He'll be alright. He's Goku. He

can't be beaten like that." She looked up at Vegeta and saw a friendly smile on his

face that made her smile as well. She knew Vegeta was telling the truth. He had

never lied to her before. She nodded her head and wiped a tear from her cheek and

they continued on to Pan's house. When they got there, Pan was outside, doing

some exercise. "She's in real good shape for a woman her age," Vegeta thought

as they landed by her. Pan turned around to greet them when she saw Goku slung

over Vegeta's shoulder. She started to panic when Vegeta explained the whole

situation. After a taking it all in, Pan said, "Yes, I know Dende. You can trust him.

I'll show you the lookout. Would you mind carrying me though, Triks? I'm too

weak to fly anymore." Triks nodded and picked Pan up under her arms and they

flew off to the north. As they got closer, Vegeta saw a tower-like structure going

so high into the sky the top was not even visible. "Alright. Now go strait up," Pan

said and they did just that. After flying strait up for a few minutes they finally

reached the top. Vegeta and Triks couldn't believe their eyes. There was this

almost palace-like building on this giant floating platform. It was amazing. They

had never seen anything like it. They landed and Triks put Pan down as they

approached the building. When they got to the entrance, a strange green being

stepped out from the shadows. It looked really old and had wrinkles all over its

body. It wore a white cloth that covered its front and back and wore purple pants.

It held a staff almost as tall as him and a short very dark man with a white turban,

red vest, and white pants standing next to him. Then the being spoke. "Hello, I am

Dende, guardian of the earth," Dende said as he greeted him. "This is my faithful

companion and assistant, Mr. Popo," he said as he pointed to the small man beside

him. "How do you do," Mr. Popo said as he bowed with his arms straight at his

side. "Hello Dende. Long time no see," Pan said as she approached him and held

out her hand. "Indeed it has, old friend," Dende replied as he shook the hand she

had extended. "You have gotten old," Dende said with a laugh. "Look who's

talking," Pan joked and they both laughed. Triks was getting angry. Here they

were, Goku dying, and they were laughing and joking like old friends who hadn't

seen each other in long time, which actually, they were. Her anger was beginning

to build and as her ki rose, a strong wind blew across the platform. Pan and Dende

looked in her direction and she exploded. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! WE'RE

HERE TO SAVE GOKU'S LIFE AND ALL YOU TWO ARE DOING IS

HAVING A REUNION!" Vegeta stuck a finger in his ear and twisted it a little.

"She sure can scream loud when she wants to," he thought. Dende nodded his

head and said, "I apologize. I know the situation is urgent. Please, bring Goku to

me." Vegeta looked at Pan and she nodded. Vegeta walked over to them and

placed Goku on the ground in front of Dende. Dende knelt beside Goku and

placed a hand over his chest. Dende's hand started to glow a bright yellow and the

light covered Goku's body. All the burns and wounds on Goku healed. When

Dende had finished, he stood up and stepped back. All of a sudden, Goku shot up

and looked around. He didn't recognize the place he was at. He looked to his right

and saw his grandma, a tall green being that looked kind of old, and a short dark

man. He looked to the left and saw Vegeta and Triks with a look of awe on their

faces. Triks felt tears begin to well up in her eyes and tried her best to hold them in

but couldn't and she ran to Goku and squeezed him hard in a bear hug. "Oh Goku,

you're alive! I can't believe it. You're ok," she said as she cried. Goku was caught

off guard by this then he remembered what happened. The creature had nearly

killed him but now he was perfectly healthy and completely healed. He pulled

Triks away from his shoulder and looked at her face. Her eyes were red and her

cheeks were stained with her tears. She was sniffling as she looked at him. Goku

thought, "I never knew that she cared this much about me." Pan looked at them

and saw the way that Triks looked at Goku. She had often seen her mother look at

her father that way. She motioned Vegeta to come stand next to her. When he was

beside her, she spoke to him, Dende , and Mr. Popo, and said, "I think we should

give them a moment by themselves." They all nodded and Dende motioned them

inside. Triks placed her head on Goku's shoulder and she didn't cry, just let her

head rest on it. Goku embraced her and rested his chin on her head. They just sat

there, letting themselves get lost in the moment. Triks let a smile cross her face.

She wish that they could stay like this forever. Then Goku did something odd. He

pushed her slightly away. She felt disappointed at first but then Goku lowered his

head and their lips met. She felt like her whole body was on fire. It felt like she

was gonna explode. She was shocked at first but soon joined him in the kiss and

wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed for a long time and when Goku

finally broke it, Triks made a whimpering sound in protest. "I had no idea that you

felt this way," he said. "I always have felt this way about you, ever since we were

little," she said. Goku started to speak but Triks placed her finger over his mouth

and said, "You don't have to say it. I know." They stayed there embracing one

another for a few more minutes before Goku said, "Come on, they're waiting for

us inside." Triks nodded and they headed inside. When they got inside, Vegeta

explained what happened. "Wow, thanks, Mr. Dende," Goku said. "No 'Mr.'

please. Just Dende." Goku nodded and agreed to call him just "Dende" from now

on. "So Dende, do you know where these creatures come from," Pan asked. "Yes.

These creatures are alien to this world. I do not know from which planet they come

from but they are here for the dragon balls. I do know that they are merely pawns

being controlled by a much more powerful being. I have felt this being's ki but

only for a moment for this being keeps its ki well hidden. I do not know what they

want the dragon balls for but I know that whatever reason it is, it is not a good

one." Pan scratched her head in confusion. "Dende," she asked, "how did the

dragon balls come back. I thought they disappeared when grandpa left." "They

did," said a voice coming from the shadows. They all turned in the direction of the

voice as the person it belonged to stepped out. Pan's eyes filled with tears and she

uttered the one word she thought she'd never get to say again, "Grandpa?" The

figure stepped out into the light and everyone could see him. It was Goku.

"Grandpa Goku? Is it really you," Pan asked in a tear-jerked voice. "I missed you,

Pan," Goku said. In a speed that she hadn't been able to reach since she was a girl

traveling with Goku and Trunks in space, Pan ran to her grandpa and gave him a

hug. Goku hugged her back. Pan let go and said, "Grandpa I really missed you. Oh

yeah. I want you to meet some people." Pan brought him over to Goku Jr., Vegeta

Jr., and Triks. "This is Vegeta Jr. and Triks. They're Vegeta's descendants." "I see.

You look just like him," Goku said. "Thanks, I guess," Vegeta Jr. replied. Then

Goku looked at Goku Jr. and smiled. "So you're Goku Jr., huh? You look just like

me," Goku said as he crossed his arms. Goku Jr. stood next to his great-great

grandfather and looked up at him. The elder Goku was only slightly taller but

enough so that the younger Goku had to look up. "Hi there. I know with me being

around it'll be confusing so just call me Grandpa, ok," Goku asked . "Sure thing....

grandpa," Goku said jokingly and they laughed a little. "So Grandpa," Pan asked,

"why have the dragon balls returned." Grandpa Goku replied, "It's a long story,

but first.........." Everyone looked at him waiting for a response. "Mr. Popo, do you

have anything to eat," Grandpa Goku asked with a smile on his face scratching the

back of his head. Everybody moaned, except Pan, who just laughed. "Yep. Same

old Grandpa."
