Alright, I've been sort of planning on what I'm going to be doing in the future and boy oh boy it's going to be unique :).  This is going to be the most unique self-insertion fan fiction you'll probably ever read. :).  Oh god I'm so excited about the end of this story… holy, I start quivering in anticipation just thinking of writing it :).  But damn, I love Arthain in this chapter, he's SO me in real life hehe.  So sarcastic heh.  Anyways, I love the development in this chapter :).

Oh, I got a picture of Vil'Tani if you wish to see her, I didn't draw it.  I just found it on the net and my god it fit so perfectly I decided to use it.  If I could remember who the maker was I'd give him credit… and then go and worship his other pictures because he's amazing.  If you want see what she looks like, send me an e-mail and I'll send you the picture.

Another thing, there is going to be an absolutely god like huge paragraph in this chapter, if you see it, you've hit the saiyan history.

Chapter 15: Lessons

Goten and Vil'Tani were still chuckling as they entered Chichi's house.  Vil'Tani leaned against the door and smiled at Goten, "I can't believe that went over so well, hehe."  Vil'Tani said chuckling.

Goten grinned back at her, "What did you expect, me and Trunks ARE the prank masters after all.  Knowing when and where to pull a prank is just as important as using the right materials."  He replied.

Vil'Tani stiffened a little and a tapping sound began behind Goten.  Goten slowly turned around and came face to face with an angry Chichi.  Goten back up a little and started waving his hands in front of him, "Ah…  You didn't hear that mom, we were perfect angels, I swear!"  Goten said quickly as he attempted to pacify his mother.

"Oh… is that right?  Then what is this prank you and Vil'Tani were just talking about?"  Chichi asked in a calm tone making Goten even more nervous.

Goten gulped, turned, grabbed Vil'Tani's arm and bolted from the house, or at least he tried to do that.  A flying ki pan in the face stopped his escape before he made it anywhere.  Chichi stomped over to Goten as her ki pan reappeared in her hand.

"I hope you like my new addition to my pans.  Kakkarot has no where to run but you do, so I had to develop a new way of getting you with them.  A mother must be able to discipline her children properly.  You may be fast but I no longer have to create my ki pans in my hands, I can now make them anywhere as long as I have a clear view of location."  Chichi said with a smile as she laid a foot on her son's back.  "Now, you're going to tell me what you did and then I'll decide a suitable punishment.  Or you can struggle…  But I wouldn't really do that if I was in your position."  Chichi said as she grinned down at her son.

Vil'Tani stood perfectly as she tried to hold a laugh in.  Goten looked up at Vil'Tani and pleaded with his eyes for some support.  Vil'Tani wisely shook her head no.  She wasn't about to stick her head into the line of fire, not when it was Chichi pulling the trigger.

-----------------------------------

In the Conference Room on the star ship Arganon…

Vegeta walked into the room to see everyone summoned seated in their proper places.  He grinned inwardly as he took his place at the head of the table.  The room wasn't large, but it was big enough.  An octagonal table was situated in the center of the room with a single chair at each of its edges.  Gohan was seated in the chair to the right of Vegeta and to his right was Karie.  To Vegeta's left sat Arthain, although he sorted just floated above the chair rather then actually sitting in it.  The last person in the room was Bardock who sat to Arthain's left.  Aside from the table, and the people seated there, the room held a few other points of interest.  A large window behind Vegeta gave a view of space passing by outside.  The center of the room held a holo-projector that could display anything from the internal design of a cell to the 3D projection of the universe.  The room was lighted by several glow bulbs that floated around the room such that there was never a dark shadow projected anywhere in the room aside from under the table.

Vegeta leaned back in his chair and looked around the room before he started to speak.  "I'm glad you all could make it, if you hadn't I would have been forced to kick your ass.  Anyways, now that the greetings are finished I'll get to why you have all been called here.  I'm here because I called this meeting; Gohan and Karie, you two are here because since you are both saiyans and should hear this; Bardock is here because he may soon join us and because since he is in charge of distributing my orders he has a right to know.  Arthain is here because he is the reason for this meeting.  He has agreed to reveal the true saiyan history to us, and if he doesn't this ship gets turned around and he can kiss his body good bye." 

There were mixed reactions, Gohan rubbed his hands together in anticipation while Karie and Bardock exchanged confused glances.  Arthain just grinned, he knew Vegeta wouldn't turn the ship around; they were in a loop the two of them.  Vegeta wanted to know the story to much to turn around and Arthain wanted his body to much to deny telling the story.

Vegeta glanced at Arthain and waved his hand signalling that he should begin.  Arthain nodded his head in acknowledgement before he addressed everyone in the room.  "I'm not sure how much bullshit the schools and books taught you about the saiyan history but as of now you might as well throw all that garbage out.  I've heard a bit of it, Planet Vegeta being the home planet, you guys…" Arthain says as he looks meaningfully at Vegeta, Gohan and Karie, "… have attained the 'legendary' status of super saiyan.  All that I've heard is bullshit."  Gohan nodded his head, he had figured that much out already, as had Vegeta.  Karie's eyes widened in surprise and she exchanged looks to an equally surprised Bardock.

"What do you mean?  Are you telling me I'm not a super saiyan?"  Karie asked as she brought her bewildered gaze back to Arthain.

Arthain grinned, he loved seeing these kinds of facial expressions, "No no I'm not… Of course I am, haven't you just heard what I said?"  Arthain asked making Karie a little upset.  Arthain quickly tempered his tone, "Ah, sorry for the outburst, it just seemed kind of obvious to me.  Please don't interrupt me while I'm speaking, you can ask questions afterwards.  Anyways, like I said, forget that history, what I am about to tell you is the true history.  Planet Vegeta was never your home planet; your ancestors all resided upon another planet.  This planet, although it may surprise you, was situated at the meeting point between the four quadrants, or you could say, the very center of the universe.  Have you ever wondered why we were naturally stronger, faster, and more intelligent then the majority of the races out there?  It sure wasn't by accident, it's because we were the 'chosen' of the universe.  Although that part got royally fucked over which I will get to eventually.  Our race is the oldest, which meant we were more technologically advanced then any other race.  We distributed technology to the other races and in exchange got the resources from their planets that ours didn't have, and all the guinea pigs we wanted for our experiments.  Our planet was one of a kind; I say was because there is another like it now which I will also get to as well.  I didn't know there was another until I came back but…  Anyways, in the center of our planet resided a world crystal.  It basically draws energy, not from this universe, but from the space between realities.  The only other planet like that is the one that girl comes from, Vil'Tani I believe.  Seeing her reminded me of our home world.  They use the crystal a little differently then we did but it's the same thing never-the-less.  Vil'Tani's race… what was it?  Cerians?  Anyways, they use the crystal as a single life force.  They insert their life force into the crystal at birth and draw upon it from that day until the day their body decays beyond usability. They draw all their energy and power from it.  This means that no single Cerian can run out of energy but should the crystal ever be destroyed, you can kiss their race goodbye because they will no longer be able to draw upon their life force.  We were smarter then that.  We didn't use the crystal as focal point for our life force, but as an enhancer.  We used to make us stronger, faster and have a higher mental capacity then what was naturally possible.  By utilizing the crystal like that we were able to evolve much more quickly and with more improvements then we normally could.  It got to the point where our children would be born with yellow hair and teal eyes.  Our race had completely evolved to the next stage, every last one of us.  Our race was prosperous for hundreds of thousands of years."  Arthain grinned as all of their eyes widened, "Yes our race is that old, we were the first, but we won't be the last.  Anyways forget about the last bit, you don't need to worry about that yet.  When I was born it was such a shock because I was born evolved, evolved beyond that of normal saiyans.  A few other evolved babies were beginning to appear as well.  This may surprise you Vegeta and Gohan, but it really shouldn't if you think about it.  The other saiyans that were born evolved were Vegeta, Raven, Arganon and Warpath.  There was one other… the only female born evolved…"  Arthain's hands clenched into fists as both rage and sorrow flash across his face but it lasts less then a second before he recovers, "Sorry about that burst of emotion let me continue.  When we were born there was much joy and our race began to think that the race as a whole was on the verge of evolving yet again.  Many had already evolved by that time, but they had to earn it, no one had ever been born evolved till we were.  We were pampered beyond belief, pampered the saiyan way of course, meaning we got the best foods, the best training instructors, the hardest foes to fight against, the best of everything.  Then came the day everything came crashing down.  She… Aerie had found a source to infinite power, and took hold of it.  I've said how the world crystal channels energy from between realities through it right?  Well it was meant to supply our entire race with energy, but imagine all that energy focused upon a single individual, an individual named Aerie.  As soon as we felt the energy of the world crystal leave us we knew there was something wrong, and a few seconds later, we were right.  The capital city erupted into a ball of fire and death.  No one within it, no matter the strength, survived the blast.  Out of it crawled Aerie, now transformed, into a beast of glowing cyan energy.  Although we lost our capital along with the royal family we were not dismayed, we were the chosen race.  Within a few seconds of the energy leaving us the capital was razed, a minute later the whole of the saiyan race was pitted in a battle against her.  We knew we had to get her off the planet or we would lose.  We managed to do it, but not without great loss.  Aerie had just newly come to her power so she struggled against it as much as she did against us, and at that time she still held some of her sanity.  No matter what she does we cannot call her evil because I doubt she even has any idea what she is doing.  When she was removed from the planet we set into motion a plan to trap her.  We knew we couldn't kill her, and the fledgling races around us wouldn't be of much help so we were on our own.  We may have been able to kill her if we still had the world crystal but life is never that easy.  The most powerful members of our species got together: Me, Vegeta, Raven, Arganon, and Warpath.  We had been friends since nearly the cradle so we were not only the strongest, but we were so close together we had formed bonds of our own, special bonds.  The little saiyans, Goten and Trunks, will form such a bond when they reach of age.  Those two are closer then even we were.   Anyways, we each led a portion of the saiyan race.  We never even thought about leaving the children and old out from the battle, everyone from 1 years of age to those nearly on their death beds fought and battled Aerie across the breadth of the universe.  We utilized every strategy we could think of to keep her off balanced, and even created some new ones on the spot.  We threw all our technology and the wisdom of the ages at her.  We even threw planets and moons.  Entire solar systems disappeared in that war.  The war raged for over 25 years before a plan was developed that could stop her.  Raven had suggested that, since the world crystal draws power from outside reality, there must be a rift the energy comes through.  And if there was a small opening, the opening could be enlarged enough to fit Aerie.  With that plan in mind we attacked once more and kept attacking.  This set her off balanced yet again.  Usually we had attacked for a few days and then regrouped, but we didn't, we kept attacking in a constant wave for nearly five months.  In the duration of that assault half our race was destroyed.  At the end of the fifth month Raven, working with Vegeta, had gathered enough energy to enlarge the rift fast enough to catch her off guard and trap her.  I led the assault with Warpath and Arganon to either side of me.  By that time the rage that rippled through me had been so great that in mid charge I evolved once more to what you see me as now.  This completely new and foreign form startled everyone, Aerie most of all, and that gave us the edge, and the opportunity, for Raven and Vegeta to rip the rift open.  Aerie had stiffened as a black hole appeared right from her center.  She, too late, realized what happened and lashed out with a massive, multi-purpose blast just before she was sucked in, taking Arganon and Warpath with her.  Her energy tentacles had lashed out at me, she wanted to take me with her but Arganon and Warpath would have none of that and were taken instead.  The blast ripped through the front ranks of our race killing even more of our people and mortally wounded me before the saiyans were able to stop it.  Raven and Vegeta were also caught in the blast but Raven saved Vegeta's life by standing between the blast and Vegeta.  On top of that the secondary purpose of the blast rippled through the entire race and genetically altered the genetic make-up of our reproductive juices and eggs.  From that day forward no saiyan born had yellow hair and teal eyes.  She had stripped the extra Y chromosome from the sperm and egg, the chromosome where all the attributes that make evolved saiyans what they are were located.  We returned to our home planet only to find it ruined.  The world crystal was all that had kept it alive and with that gone the planet had quickly died.  They couldn't stop my spirit from leaving my body because both were to weak from the battle.  So they decided to temporarily separate the two… which turned out to be a lot longer then originally anticipated.  My body was taken to the only place where it could be preserved indefinitely, which wasn't even in this universe.  Technology couldn't preserve it, but magic could, so it had to be taken to a universe, a reality, where magic existed, which is where we are headed.  Magic is also what encased my soul into that sphere.  There was a trigger that it could only be opened if Vegeta, or one of his descendents that are all ironically called Vegeta, touched it.  The sphere could be moved but the body had to be set in a special place, a place where magic was strong but it would be left undisturbed.  Like in a vault and the only way into the vault is through a locked door that required a key that was taken with the sphere.  After that was taken care of Vegeta rallied the remnants of our race and took them to a new world.  Our home world was uninhabitable due to the loss of the crystal they landed on a different planet and called it Planet Vegeta and the rest I don't know because I was locked inside a sphere."  Arthain finished, leaned back and chuckled at the collective reaction.

Bardock and Karie were both nearly floored by what they had heard and, although Gohan and Vegeta knew parts, they were nearly equally shocked.  Jaws were nearly touching the floor and it was several minutes before anyone was able to speak.

Arthain shook his head, "My my my, you'd think what I said was surprising.  Sheesh, a little history lesson and you people act as if the world ended…"  Arthain said teasingly which caused Vegeta to quickly pull his jaw up and recover his composure.

Vegeta cleared his throat, "Nothing like that Arthain, it was just a little bit… more then I expected.  There are a few holes in your story that I want… clarified."  Vegeta said and Arthain glanced at him and beckoned him to ask, "Who was the evolved female saiyan that was born?  And how did Aerie… oh.  I think I just answered my own question.  Aerie was that saiyan that was born evolved right?"  Vegeta asked.

Arthain nodded, "Yes that was her.  We always made fun of her, saying that she was actually suppose to be a guy because no other female saiyan was born evolved.  I still remember her face; she was always so cute when she pouted."  Arthain said and sadness was reflected in his eyes as he remembered back to the past, "We were all close to her…  We never did figure out why she tried to channel the energy of the crystal through her own body."

By this time the others had recovered their composures.  Vegeta thought again for a bit before asking another question, "Why did you say we 'were' the chosen, aren't we still now?"

Arthain shook his head, "No, we aren't.  The Cerians are now.  Why do you think they are nearly on par with the Saiyans and rapidly increasing in strength?  Soon the average Cerian will be stronger then the average Saiyan.  The energy flowing through the crystal, the energy from between realities, is what made us the chosen ones."  Arthain responded.

Vegeta nodded and was about to speak again but Gohan cut him off.  "Early when you first arrived you mention mutant saiyans.  What exactly are mutant saiyans and why are they so much stronger then regular saiyans, because if what you said was true Brolly is a mutant saiyan."  Gohan asked.

Arthain smiled, "Easily answered.  For most things in life there are exceptions, Brolly is an exception.  Most saiyans evolve in one direction, but sometimes one goes off in a different direction.  Mutant saiyans are actually weaker then normal saiyans over all." Everyone was about to protest that but Arthain just overrode them, "Brolly is weaker then you as well.  Sure he's strong and fast but it's much harder for him to evolve and on the side, he lacks in every other area aside from Strength and Speed.  Brolly lacks endurance, intelligence and a few other essential things that would make him great.  He lacks these because he is a mutant.  Those weaknesses were erased when Aerie took control of him, she provided him with unlimited endurance and acted as his brain and instinct, and since she existed during the time when the saiyan race was at its pinnacle…  Well you get the picture.  Any one of you, except Bardock, could defeat Brolly as he is, although it would take quite the effort on your part Karie, and a lot of luck.  Just out last his stamina and you will have him at your mercy.  And outlasting his stamina is easily done because he lacks the wits to conserve his energy."

Karie slammed her hand on the table, "Hey, don't talk down to him so much.  He's a great person!"  Karie exclaimed.

Gohan and Vegeta exchanged smirks and Bardock laughed out loud.  Arthain shrugged, "I wouldn't know.  I was talking about his fighting capability, not his social skills, or his bed skills.  I don't know him, and don't really want to.  I dislike mutant Saiyans, they always tend to think highly of themselves when they really aren't all that great."  Arthain said.

Karie glared at Arthain but quieted down.  Arthain looked around the table again, "Anymore questions?"  He asked.

"Since you lived back during that age you would know many techniques am I correct?"  Gohan asked curiously.  Arthain nodded and leaned back in his chair, or rather, leaned through it. "Well, do you suppose you could impart some of that knowledge on to us?"

Vegeta smiled inwardly, that's Gohan for you, thinking like a true saiyan, always striving to improve himself.  Arthain looked around and saw the expectant looks on their faces, "I suppose I could teach a few techniques, especially the one that combines two saiyans together for a time and more then triples their combined power."  Arthain said in a sort of off-hand way.

For second time the collective jaws of the people within the room dropped.  "Th-th-three times?"  Karie spluttered out.

Arthain looked at her with a sort of bored expression, "Ya, something like that, I may have underestimated it a bit, but you know, its hard to accurately tell in the middle of the battle and with so many people doing it."  Arthain said and looked around in mock surprise, "What?  You've never heard of or seen a fusion?  My my, you guys sure are lacking in the technique section."  He said sadly.

Vegeta cleared his throat, "Ah, alright I think that concludes this meeting.  I-Err... I think Gohan, Karie and Bardock need time to think over what you have told us.  I'll expect you to start teaching us some of these 'techniques' as soon as possible, especially the fusion one."  Vegeta declared.

With that everyone got up and left the room with the exception of Arthain.  He just stood up and grinned.  A light strange light appeared in his eyes as his grin twisted, soon… I almost…my grasp…she will....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day and back on Planet Vegeta…

"Now listen up students, what I am about to tell you is important."  The military strategy instructor said, "To break and destroy an army, city, country or planet is not a sign of true excellence.  True excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting remember this.  A general who is able to win a war without shedding blood, or keeping the blood to a minimum is the sign of a truly great general."

Trunks turned to Goten, "This guy is so boring.  I don't care about this kind of stuff!"  Trunks complained.

The instructor glared up at Trunks, "TRUNKS!  Stop talking to you friend and answer this question, what is the best form of defense?"  The instructor demanded.

Trunks sighed, "The best defense is offense, as in when the enemy is about to attack you strike first, catching the enemy off guard." He responded in a mono-tone voice.

The instructor nodded, "Good, so your head isn't filled with moth balls, now sit down, shut up, and let me finish the lecture."  The instructor said as he continued on with the lesson, "Now, when making war impatience will make you lose the war, and more importantly, will probably mean you lose your head.  More then impatience though, not knowing when and where to fight will also mean the loss of your head.  If you outnumber the enemy 10 to 1, surround them, if you outnumber them 5 to 1, a straight head on assault will suffice.  If you outnumber them 2 to 1, have one half of the army attack head on while the second half do a diversionary tactic, like going around behind the enemy and catching them in a vice.  If you are equal in strength only engage if you have superior weapons and terrain advantage.  If your army is less, run.  Knowing when to run and when to fight is the sign of a great general."  The instructor was about to clear his throat and continue when the bell rang, an instant later the room was cleared as the students rushed from the room.

The instructor stood staring at the empty class room and shrugged.  "Oh well, I'm not here to make sure the shits understand what I'm saying, I just have to make sure that this bullshit is said."

Goten, Trunks and Vil'Tani quickly made it to the weapons training area with Cain close behind them.  Once they entered they found all the students, as well as the instructor, already there.  Apparently the excitement of the previous day still clung to the students and they couldn't wait for the second cluster of matches.

The instructor walked into the center of the mat and looked around, "Alright, I know you're excited about the matches so lets get them started, first we have Vil'Tani faced off against… let me see… you."  The instructor said as he pointed at the devolved saiyan that had pissed Vil'Tani off the day before.

Vil'Tani grinned as she picked her axe up and walked out onto the mat.  The devolved saiyan, upset at being treated the way he had the day before glared at Vil'Tani.  "You are so dead." He growled at her.

Vil'Tani just shrugged, "You can kill me if you touch me."  She said glibly.

The devolved saiyan grinned and charged at Vil'Tani whirling his flail above his head. Vil'Tani just stood where she was and watched as the lesser saiyan closed in on her rapidly.  As the devolved saiyan got within reach Vil'Tani used the flail as a shield, a shield against his eyes as she ducked and twisted around to the side.  She whipped her axe out and let its weight help propel her around quickly.  As she got around behind him she whirled around again and brought her axe around and slammed it against and into the back of the saiyan near the base of the spine.  There was a sickening thunk as her axe cut through the spinal code and double the body over.  The poor person flew forward and flopped boneless against the ground.  The instructor grinned and clapped his hand in appreciation, "The ghost counter, very nice, very nice.  I'll take him back to the regeneration chambers and see if we can save his pathetic life.  You've done very well; I can see you passing this course with flying colors.  Your attack could have easily killed him but you knew exactly where to hit and how much power to use.  I wish we had more students like you."  The instructor said as he dragged the young devolved saiyan into the back room and the regeneration chambers.

Vil'Tani walked back to sit beside Goten with a big smile on her face and the handle of her axe bouncing against her shoulder.  When she sat down she looked over at Goten, "And that, my dear, is how you teach loud mouths a lesson.  You should never bark unless you have the bite to back it up."  She said rather smugly.

The instructor by this time had returned.  "Alright for the next match lets have something we've all been waiting for.  Trunks, Goten, will you please step onto the mat?"  The Instructor asked.

Goten and Trunks glanced at one another and grinned before they stood and walked onto the mat.  Everyone within the room leaned forward to get a better view of the action, although aside from Vil'Tani not many of them had a chance of seeing any of the minute details.  The two split as they neared the center of the mat, walked a few meters to either side and turned to face each other.  Trunks crouched down and held his sword at an angle in front of him.

"Come on Goten, any time you're ready I am."  Trunks said.

Goten answered with his sword.  A whistling sound a split second before impact was all the warning Trunks had, and it was all he needed.  Broadsword met katana as Goten went for an overhead chop.  Trunks retaliated with blinding speed and began to chop at Goten from all directions.  Each blinding strike was met by a blindingly fast parry.  In most sword fights the sounds of swords clashing together are separated by a second or two.  In this fight it sound much more like a long single screech as the swords met each hundreds of times in the span of a single minute.  Not long after the swords started blurring and the long screeching sound began arms and legs joined the fray as Goten and Trunks kicked, punched, slashed and dashed around one another in a deadly dance of steel and flesh.

After several minutes of non-stop fight a mistake was made.  It wasn't much, a single slip, the tiniest over extension of the arm, but it was all that was needed.  Trunks took advantage of the over extension of Goten's sword arm and snapped his foot into the elbow joint breaking it.  Goten let out a single yelp of pain and stopped for a single instant which was the second, and final, mistake he made of the match.  Trunks quickly took advantage of the opening and buried his sword all the way through the thigh of Goten's right leg as he snapped his free hand into his friends face.  Goten's head snapped back from the force of the blow and stumbled away from Trunks.  As Goten stumbled away Trunks ripped his sword from the Goten's thigh making the gash even greater.

Vil'Tani seeing Goten hurt had to consciously reign in her emotions and anger remembering over and over that the two were friends and Trunks wouldn't seriously hurt Goten.  Trunks was true to that thought and stepped back, "Give up Goten.  We're evenly matched when you are unhurt; being like you are you would lose.  I really don't want to hurt you anymore, not with Vil'Tani over there eyeing my dangerously with a death grip on her axe.  She may be a lot slower then me but she makes that all up with a lot more skill and technique."  He said.

Goten looked over at Vil'Tani and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I lose…  Trunks beat me fair and square… but next time…"  Goten left it hanging.

Trunks grinned, "Next time we'll just have to see."  He said, happy that he didn't have to hurt Goten anymore.

Vil'Tani rushed over to Goten and brought his good arm around her shoulder.  He smiled thankfully at her; standing on his own two feet was rather painful for some reason.  Vil'Tani led him into the back room where the regeneration chambers were located.  Cain only shook his head as Trunks sat down beside him, the level of skill and speed displayed was overwhelming, he knew he had joined the elite group, but he hadn't realized just how elite until now.

The instructor in the mean time was smiling broadly, "Ahh, it's been a long time since I saw a fight of that caliber.  Vil'Tani's fight was nice but it was over to quickly to really get into it."  The instructor said.  "Now for the next set of fights…"  The rest of the class went on relatively boring.  The remaining students couldn't compare to the skill, speed and power shown in the first two fights.  At the end the Instructor gave some insight on how to improve ones skill, or at least he did to those that could still move.

The Instructor walked into the back room and nudged the body on the ground, "I knew I forgot to do something, oh well."  He picked up the folded body and tossed it into an incinerator.  The parents wouldn't mind, he was, after all, only one of many children.

To be continued…

Ok, I know that was a lousy place to end it but…  I don't care.  Anyways, the time jump happens between this chapter and the next.  I could have put it in but… it would make an already long chapter even longer.  I'm not quite sure how far I'll jump ahead, or how many times, in the next chapter.  I'll just have to wait and see.  There are 2 more school scenes that I wish to put in but I need alliances and friendships to cement first before I put them in.  Just to let you know, I REALLY hate skipping ahead so far but…  I have to.  I don't have the ability, time or motivation, to fill every day in the story with stuff, or even something every week or month, so I'm going to insert something every half year or so.  That'll still give me at least 5 more chapters before the end few chapters, and that's only if I don't happen to make the events really detailed and long and involving more the one chapter.  So expect between 7 and 12 more chapters before the epilogue.  As the time draws closer and closer to the big event five years in the future of my story I'll might shorten the jumps as more and more stuff start happening.  Especially since I plan on having the journey Vegeta, Arthain, Gohan and Karie have in the other reality to be really in depth.  I have a lot of plans for that place.

Anyways, my midterms are over finally… well I have one more but oh well, I just finished like 5 so I should have some more time for this for a little bit.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter.  I LOVED writing the saiyan history, and no, Arthain isn't an evil super villain in disguise, alright?  You'll just have to wait and see :).
