Hullo peoplz! I know I'm updating pretty quickly right now, but I'm
trying to get to a point in this story where I don't even have the shadow
of a clue about what to do next, and that's after this chapter. So please
don't get used to this. On a different note, I STILL need more answers
from my poll. I'd be very grateful if ya'll would tell me what you think,
because I would love some more so I get at least a feeling that people are
half way interested. Here's what we got so far:
3 Gohan/Videl
1 Trunks/Pan
1 Goten/Trunks
1 Goten/Marron
1 Gohan/Bra
1 Gohan/Mirai Trunks (is that spelled right?!)
Getting there, getting there…thank you once again, keep them coming!
Disclaimer: No matter how much I dream about it, DBZ is still not mine. That's too bad, isn't it?
Ch 3: Seerow's Twins
Bought a ticket for the runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier then dealing with the pain…
-Soul Asylum
Gohan closed his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them and said, "They come now. I gave them the coordinates. I hope you don't mind, they'll be landing behind Capsule Corp in a few minutes."
"That's fast!" Goku commented.
"That's saiyan technology," replied Gohan, taking to the air. The others followed him all the way, though all were thinking the same thing: Saiyan technology?
Half an hour later, the group landed on the lawn of Capsule Corp to find a nearly hysterical Bulma waving frantically at them. "Oh, this is insane! You won't believe what just happened-" Then she noticed Gohan, whose long brown tail hung out behind him. "Who're you?"
"Gohan," he answered innocently. "Did a few saiyans just land back there?"
She nodded numbly.
"That's good. Thank you." He strode past her with the gang following him. Vegeta grabbed Bulma and half pulled, half pushed her along.
They went into the backyard, where what seemed to be a larger version of Gohan's escape pod waiting there. Three more people stood leisurely next to it: One adult, a female, and two children, one of each sex. The woman wore a pair of jeans and a green tank top, with her dark blond hair pulled into a ponytail and her bright blue eyes sparkling. The boy looked to be a carbon copy of Gohan as an 11-year-old, right down to the clothing he wore and the expression on his face. The girl took after her mother, with her long blonde hair and bright eyes, except the color was an aqua green. She wore flair jeans and a white tube top. All three waved at Gohan, and he jogged over to them. The Z Warriors just stood where they were to watch.
"That was fast, Seerow," the woman commented, levitating enough to give him a small kiss.
"Yeah, Dad!" the boy cried, and the girl nodded her agreement.
"This is my family," Gohan told the stunned warriors. "Hera, my wife- " he pointed to the woman, "-and these two are my twins, Apollo and Athena."
"Of the legend," Apollo affirmed.
"Legend?" Goku asked.
Vegeta was looking at Gohan in a very strange way. "You-you called him Seerow?" he said to Hera.
"Yes," she replied with a shrug.
Vegeta suddenly dropped to one knee. "My lord, I am sorry for any disrespect you may have felt from me in the past!"
Gohan sighed and rolled his eyes. "You know, I get enough of that on Amrea. You don't have to do that."
"But my lord-!"
"Knock. It. Off."
Vegeta hushed and stood again, while the Z gang stared in amazement.
Athena laughed, a soft, velvety sound that made everyone smile. "You don't know the legends, then."
"No," came Piccolo's blunt reply.
"I guess we'd better explain," grinned Apollo, "or they'll never get half the things we do."
"Start at the beginning, shall we?"
"Yes, I believe so."
Gohan held up a hand. "Not so fast. You haven't really met those I left behind yet."
"Excuses, excuses," Hera replied.
"Help," Goku sighed.

After everyone was relaxing on chairs and couches throughout Bulma's living room. Gohan stood again and nodded to those who had just arrived, including Chichi, Master Roshi, and Parisu, Goten's girlfriend. He began his story.
"I'm telling this like a saiyan, okay? So here goes – the legend of Seerow's twins.
"Many, many years ago, when Urani still roamed the galaxies wide, there was a great god called Seerow. He is the father of all we know and love, and the guardian of a powerful object, known as the Dragon Stone. This Stone gave the power of the Super Saiyan to its holder and was sought by all whose greed ruled their being.
"Seerow, though he was a god, was no fool. He knew one of these greedy people would take the Dragon Stone from him eventually. And so, he married to a mortal woman. During the 'aika'-"
"The what? I'm lost," Goten said.
Gohan, to their surprise, blushed slightly. "Well, ah, 'aika' is the word for…oh jeez, it means sex."
Goten was shocked into silence and Gohan continued. "Well anyway, he gave her the Stone – and don't you DARE ask me how – and she made it a part of her. This made her pregnant, the carrier of the greatest power in the universe. It is said, when her children were born, they were born together, at the same time. These two were twins, a boy and a girl, and they were so much like their father that they themselves were often considered gods, though by then Seerow had given up his immortality to be with his family."
"Who would do that?" sneered Vegeta.
"Will you hold the questions until I'm done?!" Gohan snapped.
He was greeted by absolute silence. He sighed and kept going. "As I was saying. Seerow and his twins were close, closer then the grass to the ground. They made a vow that they would die together, no matter what.
"Well, this eventually. Three beds were laid out, with Seerow in the middle and the twins on either side. The people were greatly saddened and prayed the next day and night for their beloved god to come back to them. The day after that, each and every saiyan on the planet had a vision telling them that the spirits of Seerow and his twins would be reawakened within a man and his children, but until they did, the people would have to rule themselves. Thus the saiyan monarchy."
Hera stood up and took over. "Until about 6 years ago, the saiyan people were losing hope in the legend. That was when Apollo and Athena were born, and exactly as the legend foretold, they were born at the same moment of time."
"Painful, huh?" Chichi commented.
"Extremely."
"Please exchange later, hens, but maybe I'll keep going now, alright?" Gohan asked, nearly begging.
"Go for it, Seerow."
"I'll get you someday. Anyway, as you may have guessed by now, Seerow's spirit is within me, and these two are the twins of days long past. I would have ruled, but I said no. I just wanted to go home. So what I did is I found the coordinates for Earth again, and I went home, and here I am."
"Cool. You're a good story-teller, Gohan," Trunks said.
Gohan closed his eyes in surpressed annoyence. He opened them again. "I'm sorry. It's just…just like I'm picking up some bad vibes. I can't explain it."
Goku suddenly shouted. He jumped up and jabbed his finger at Vegeta. "I TOLD YOU!" he yelled. "HE'S BACK HALF A DAY AND HE ALREADY SEES WHAT YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Krillin screamed.
"Oooookay," Hera said. "Your family is very strange, my love."
~ onto chapter four!!! ~
A/N: Haha, cliffhanger. I'm mean, aren't I? Oh yeah, I hate to say it but I don't think I'll be updating much because here in Virginia, school isn't quite over – the SOLs are starting today. And because they automatically fail you if you don't pass the SOLs in 8th grade, I'll be needing to make sure I don't die. My main worry is math and science – I always was more into English and Civics. Today is an easy one – civics – but tomorrow is the math SOL…
Oh well. Anyway, next chapter…Goku and Vegeta jointly tell the Z Warriors what's been worrying them, and Gohan realizes something very important that he believes he should have foreseen…
I'm thinking about posting a series of songfics soon. For the most part, it will just be songs with an added DBZ twist, though a couple will be like normal stories with lyrics tossed in. Tell me what you think!
And as for my other two stories…next in What the…?, the mystery saiyan lands, and we all learn something (~_^) about the 'guest', and things start to speed up. Reflections…well, the only way that one will be continued is if I get some ideas for the next chapter, because I quite honestly don't know how to continue it. So if you want to see a new chapter in that, tell me what should happen!!! And as always, R/R please, and answer the poll!!! -saiyagal
