Chapter 1
Disclaimer - I don't own DBZ, though it would be nice
This is my second fic, and I'm hoping to make it better than my first. Please tell me what you think about it, and criticism is welcome. This is an idea that just popped into my head. If you want to know, Gohan is twelve.
Bodu hovered above the peaceful planet, Chikyuu. He needed no air to breathe in his current form, and thought of that as a major convenience. But the negative side to his current form was how he looked. Bodu had long, silver hair that brushed his ankles. His body was covered with a fine, white fur that was spattered with black spots. Paws replaced hands and feet, each paw having three, sharp claws. He had two, large eyes with obsidian pupils that reflected both happiness and anger. His small, black nose was like a wolf's, and had a keen sense of smell allowing him to sniff the most distant of scents. His mouth contained sharp, gleaming fangs like a vampire, and his ears were pointy and acute. He also had a tail that was blanketed with long, spotted fur. A lengthy white robe cloaked his body that had a strange blue symbol that resembled the sun on his chest.
He was in the current form of an Noita-jin, a peaceful race who lived on a planet not too far away from the planet Chikyuu. The Noita-jin were not violent and lacked almost all fighting skills. But they did not have any lungs, and therefore needed no air to live.
Bodu looked down at himself again, and growled in annoyance, showing his glistening teeth. That is the only thing that is good about the Noita-jin. Otherwise they all look like stupid dogs.
Bodu then snapped out of his thoughts and started to fly downwards towards Chikyuu's atmosphere. He had stalled long enough.
Gohan swung on his chair, gazing at the ceiling. He was almost falling asleep from boredom, his new Science book lying unopened on his table. He knew that he should be reading the book and filling his young mind with its information. Then he would read it again and again so that its contents would be engraved into his mind. But today, Gohan had been feeling uneasy and edgy, and now he felt exhausted. He just wasn't in the mood to read.
As Gohan started to close his weary eyes, a high-pitched young voice shouted, "Gohan!" Surprised, Gohan lost his balance and fell backwards, his back landing on the sharp edges of his chair.
Gohan moved out from on top of his chair and sat up on his knees, his right hand rubbing his back. Normally, that small incident wouldn't have even caused his back to quiver. But because he had been falling asleep and his body had relaxed, it had been quite a shock to his back.
Gohan looked at the doorway, and standing there was his Totochan, Goten.
Goten cocked his head to the side and asked Gohan innocently, "Why you on ground?"
Gohan sighed and stood up, his back still aching, and replied, "I was swinging on my chair and I fell."
Goten giggled happily and said, "That dumb!"
Gohan did not lose his patience like some older brother might of, but laughed, agreeing with Goten, "Yeah, it is pretty dumb."
ChiChi then burst into the room, panting heavily. She had heard the loud, crashing noise, and thought that something terrible had happened. She was quite relieved, however, to find Gohan sitting on the ground with Goten looking at him. Gohan was laughing heartily, and Goten was giggling. ChiChi's relief faded when she was reminded of why she had come running into the room, and asked sternly, "What happened? What was that noise?"
Goten looked back at his Kaasan and still giggling, answered, "Gohan swinging on chair. Gohan fell!"
ChiChi almost smiled at Goten's cute baby talk, but when she saw Gohan on the ground, she said, "Gohan?! What are you doing, you should be studying that new book that I bought for you and answering the questions! And you should know better than to swing on your chair!"
Gohan stopped laughing and studied his Kaasan's face. She was very pissed off. Kuso! I'm going to be in trouble for slacking off. Gohan's smile vanished as he bowed courteously and apologized, "Gomen nasai, Okaasan. I cannot concentrate on my work at the moment."
ChiChi's icy look remained frozen as she replied, "I do not know why you cannot concentrate, Gohan. You have a very quiet room, and Goten never disturbs you."
He did just then. Gohan slightly smirked at that thought, but cringed when he saw his Kaasan clench her usually gentle hands into fists.
"Are you humoring me, Gohan?"
"Iie, Okaasan."
"Then why did you just smirk?"
"Because, err, I was thinking about a joke I heard on the radio."
ChiChi's frown deepened as she said, "That is the lamest excuse ever, Gohan. You don't even have a radio!"
Goten had been trying to hold in his laughter, but it was exceptionally difficult. He tried to muffle his giggles with his hands, but was fixed with a severe look from his Kaasan.
"Why are you laughing, Goten?"
Goten gasped and took a step back, saying, "No reason, Okaasan."
ChiChi needed no words to make her point, as she growled angrily, her foot stamping in frustration.
Goten looked at the ground shamefully and replied, "It funny coz you said I never disturb Gohan, but I did."
ChiChi's eyebrows lowered in thought. Hmm, it seems that it wasn't Gohan's fault. She turned towards Gohan and inquired, "Is that true, Gohan?"
Gohan nodded slightly, a smile spreading across his face. I don't want Goten to get into trouble, but it wasn't my fault.
ChiChi turned towards Goten, who had a sad look on his face and was staring at the floor in disgrace. It was so cute, she couldn't stay mad at him, "Goten, go outside and play."
Gohan almost fell to the ground. Aww, how come Goten gets to go and play while I would have had to do extra homework?
ChiChi looked at her oldest son and smiled at the look on his face. Just like Goku. ChiChi's eyes twitched at the thought of Goku, but she knew that her son didn't want her to be upset. She drew a list from her pocket and said to Gohan, "Since you say that you cannot concentrate, I see no point in you doing any school work. Please go to the city and buy these things for me."
As Gohan was handed the list, he looked at it curiously. There were at least a hundred items on this list! Still gazing at the list, he asked, "I thought that you would want to go and buy these yourself, Okaasan."
"I would, but I think that you deserve some fresh air from all of that studying that you have been doing for the past few weeks. Please be back before dinner."
Gohan nodded and said, "Hai, Kaasan. Ja ne!"
ChiChi nodded in response.
Gohan tucked the list into the pocket of his black pants and leapt through the window. His silver ki appeared around him, but he was stopped in midair.
"Gohan! You should know better than to go through the window!" ChiChi said, although she was not angry.
Gohan looked over his shoulder at his Kaasan and stated, "Gomen, Okaasan! I forgot!"
ChiChi giggled and waved at her son. Gohan then flew up into the sky.
Bodu knew that he would have to take on the shape of one of Chikyuu's creatures so that he could get to his target.
As soon as he had landed on the planet, a sense of awe had overtaken his mind. Even though Bodu's race was not a peaceful one, he was quite captivated to be on Chikyuu-sei. It was the most beautiful place he had ever seen; the glimmering streams that looked like they were filled with millions of sapphires, the tall trees were filled with leaves of many different shades of green and the sky was a beautiful, light blue.
Bodu had only seen his home planet once, when he was a few hours old. It had been ugly, lakes were filled with blood-red water, the sky was always a murky brown, and there was no grass, just black dirt. Bodu had been glad to leave his planet because he absolutely hated it. All of his kind had hated it. The only time they returned was when they were five hundred years old, so that they could lay some eggs.
Bodu's race were the Cehang-jins. They were born as creatures that resembled mosquitoes, and needed no air to breathe. So, as soon as they could, the newborn Cehang-jins would leave their planet for the closest planet they could find, then they would take on the form of another creature so that they would be stronger.
Like mosquitoes, Cehang-jins would feast on a victim's blood so that they could determine its DNA pattern. The situation usually left the victim unconscious and paralyzed for a whole week, although most Cehang-jins would kill their victim as soon as they were finished with it. After the Cehang-jins had left their natural form, they only had to touch another creature to acquire its DNA pattern. Cehang-jins could only change into the form of the most recent creature they had touched. They could not change into a form that they had used long ago, unless they touched that same victim again.
The Cehang-jins were a superior race, because if they left their victim alive, they could always determine where it was or what it was thinking. They could also use the creature's strengths and abilities, and had the victim's instincts as well as their own.
All Cehang-jins that returned to Cehang-sei to lay eggs would revert back to their natural state. After the eggs had been layed, the Cehang-jin would leave their planet and would also have to find a new victim.
Cehang-jin lived for five thousand years, being one of the oldest living races in the universe.
Despite all their attributes, the Cehang-jin had one weakness. The Saiya-jin. The Saiya-jin could somehow know that one was a Cehang-jin by just looking at them, it was one of the Saiya-jins' instincts. It was said that ever since they had first existed, that the Saiya-jin and Cehang-jin had been mortal enemies. No one knew how or why they hated each other so much, but everyone knew that they loathed each other's blood.
Bodu scowled as he thought about the Saiya-jins. They were the ones who had killed all of the Cehang-jin, except for him. Bodu had managed to fool them by taking on the form of a Saiya-jin. Even though they would give him odd looks as he went by, the Saiya-jin showed no signs of knowing that he was a Cehang-jin. It seemed that they could not tell if a Cehang-jin had taken on the shape of their own kind, and that had been a major blessing for Bodu.
Bodu eventually learnt several years later, that Vegeta-sei had been destroyed. He had been overjoyed when he heard this news, and wanted to find who had caused such a wonderful thing to happen. He had been happy, and at peace, for a while.
But his peace had been shattered when news began to spread throughout the universe, that Lord Freeza, the universe's most evil and powerful being, had been defeated by a mere Saiya-jin.
Bodu then traveled to many planets, learning more about the Saiya-jin along the way. His journey eventually directed him to Chikyuu-sei, where a few Saiya-jins supposedly lived.
And now he was here, Chikyuu-sei. Already, Bodu's Cehang-jin instincts had told him that there were at least two Saiya-jins living on the planet. He licked his lips as if he were about to enjoy a fabulous feast. He would finally have his and all of the Cehang-jin's revenge against the Saiya-jin.
A boy who was currently juusan-sai, was walking along the woods. He had light brown, spiky hair and deep brown eyes. He was wearing country-style clothes, because that was where he lived.
The boy whose name was named Revote, lived on a farm with his grandparents. His parents had died when he was very young, so he never had really known them.
Revote usually became bored working on the farm, and would sneak out of the property for a walk in the woods.
It was one of those days when he had become remarkably bored. Country life just didn't seem right for the teenager.
Revote then heard a twig snap behind him. He turned cautiously around, even though he knew that he didn't really have anything to defend himself with. His serious expression turned to one of frustration, as he saw a small fawn standing behind him.
Revote bent down to touch the young fawn, who seemed surprisingly tame, and laughed, "Gees, to think that I was so startled by such a little fawn!" Revote then began to stroke the fawn's head, it's soft fur feeling like silk.
Hmm Deer are usually never this placid, especially their fawns. I wonder why this little guy is
Revote's curious mind began to slow down, as he felt extreme fatigue taking over his body. He tried to pull his hand away from the fawn, but somehow his hand had been locked into place.
Revote's heavy eyes began to close as the fawn suddenly bounded away. He could not stay awake, however, and fell to the ground fast asleep.
Bodu paused at a nearby lake. Its glistening waters were enticing to his senses, and he couldn't help himself when he began to drink thirstily. As Bodu finished drinking, he pounded his hoof on the ground. Aargh, this stupid creature's instincts keep on taking control over my mind! Maybe if I change into that, err what did they call it? Oh yeah, 'human', then maybe I will be able to control myself more easily.
Bodu closed his eyes and began to concentrate. His brown fur began to glow a luminous white as his body began to change. He could feel it as his bones shifted and changed shape and his two front legs began to shorten as they turned into arms.
Bodu continued to focus as the last of his deer features turned into the features of a human boy.
Bodu stretched his arms and legs, trying to feel what this form's capabilities were. His eyes twitched as he came to a conclusion. These humans don't seem to be able to do much when it comes to fighting. That other boy didn't even know how to fly! It's so easy! Are all humans so stupid? Oh well, I should try to find one of those Saiya-jins.
Bodu smirked as he rose into the air. Even though the humans did not know how to fly, Bodu could control their bodies to do so easily. Nearly all the creatures he had ever changed into had hidden abilities that they did not know about, but Bodu could use those hidden abilities with ease.
His Cehang-jin instincts told him that a Saiya-jin was close by, so he flew off into that direction.
Well, that's the end of the first long chapter! I was even kind enough to end it without a cliffhanger! Please review and tell me what you think. Oh yeah, juusan is thirteen. Later!
