Fallen Hero

Chapter 2

*camera comes on as Scrix tampers with the controls*

Scrix: Our deranged friend here gave you a little insight on what is to come, but since she's tied up, she won't be making any wise cracks in this story. *motions camera to see the tied up CMG as she looked rather pissed off*

CMG: *yelling* I CAN GET OUT OF THIS SCRIX! BELIEVE ME! ONCE I GET OUT OF THESE ROPES, I'LL GIVE AWAY THE SPOILER OF ALL SPOILERS OF THIS FANFIC IF YOU DON'T UNTIE ME RIGHT NOW!

Zi-Kita: You're in no position to tell us Gods what to do.

CMG: *angrily speaking in Saiya-go* Let me make this clear then: I own you! I may not own Dragon Ball Z, but I do own you Gods and if you don't untie me, I will replace all of you with characters from My Little Pony for all I care!

Scrix: *looks at what CMG just said* Did she just change fonts just to speak in Saiya-go?

Zi-Kita: *reads along with Scrix as he notices all the details* It looks like she just italized and bolded the text just to get her point across...

CMG: *punches Zi-Kita as she catches the two Gods off guard* Indeed, and if you don't stop stealing my spotlight, I swear upon Kami that your ass is grass.

Scrix: You're just angry that no one reviewed because Thanksgiving threw everything off.

CMG: *speaking in English again* So what if I am?

Scrix: Who cares! Someone will review eventually.

CMG: You know, you're right! *throws Zi-Kita into the dirty laundry bin and kicks it as it goes to the laundry room* Well, on with the show!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Within a few hours, the Z Warriors were gathered for an important meeting. In the twelve years of peace, they found out that half of the warriors have settled down and Vegeta was not pleased at their progress. The only ones that took their training seriously was Tien, Piccolo, and Chou-su. Even though Chou-su was weaker than everyone else on the team, he made it up during the past twelve years by training vigorously with Tien. Yamcha was so weak Vegeta felt like killing him right then and there. Krillin and Videl were both weaker due to the fact that they had kids to take care of. Eighteen didn't grow any weaker due to the fact she was an android, but was still worthless to drag along into the fighting as Marron was outside talking to her boyfriend on her cell phone. Seeing that he had to give them the bad news finally, Vegeta quieted everyone down so he could get on to business.

"You all might be wondering why I gathered you here," said Vegeta in a rather unpleasant mood as the Z-Fighters instantly stopped talking and catching up on old times. "We have a crisis on our hands. The warrior you call Goku has been kidnapped by some psychopath who claims he's a God."

"Is that why Goku's not here?" said Yamcha.

"That and the fact that we need to rescue him," said Bardock.

"Where are they heading?" said Krillin.

"They are heading to a planet known as Caduto, or in your language, the Fallen Planet," said Bardock. (A/N: I'm not very fluent in Italian. I only know English!) "It is there that those who have fallen from grace did it to follow a false idol. That's why in this battle, we need all the help we can get."

"Will Earth be endanger?" said Chou-su.

"Most possibly, yes," said Vegeta. "Unless we stop the threat at its roots and free the remaining Saiya-jins from slavery, then not only Earth, but the entire universe will crumble at the feet of Zi-Kita."

"There's no way we'll let that bastard do that to the universe," said Tien. "But we're not strong enough to take on an army."

"That's where the other Saiya-jins come in," said Bardock. "My son, Nappa, and the other Saiya-jins will join us in this battle against Zi-Kita to free our enslaved brothers and sisters who have fallen victim to Zi-Kita's whims."

"You mean that Radditz will join?" said Gohan as he remembered how he nearly killed his father when he was only a toddler and barely saved his father's life from the barbarian's hands. He felt anger at his uncle as he yelled, "If he's going, then I'll kill him!"

"Don't worry, Gohan," said Bardock. "Scrix has guaranteed that Radditz has changed his ways."

"How can you trust him?" said Gohan as he goes Super Saiya-jin. "It was his fault that my father was killed!"

"Gohan, if your father haven't sacrificed his life to stop Radditz," said Piccolo angrily as the Namek seemed to gang up on the boy he knew most of his life, "then this planet wouldn't be here right now. He did it for the Earth. If I haven't of been able to deliver the final blow, then there would have been no way you would have met me because this very planet would have been destroyed. I trained you, so be grateful that same challenge has made it possible to be on the same side."

Gohan was silent. Not once has Gohan been on the receiving end of Piccolo's harsh words. Leaving the room, he blasted off into the sky. Piccolo was about to go after him when a rough hand landed on his shoulders. Turning around, he saw Vegeta shaking his head at the Namek.

"Don't worry about him," said Vegeta. "He'll come around."

"Daddy," said Pan. "Why was he angry?"

"He had a rough past, sweetie," said Videl as she comforted the young quarter-blood Saiya-jin. "He'll be alright."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Gohan flew until he reached the desolate wastelands where he was trained all those years ago when Piccolo brought him here. Landing, Gohan ran down the worn path in the woods where he used to run towards the cave he used to live in. Reaching the cave entrance, he saw that the cave was still the way he left it all those years ago as he saw the faint drawings of equations in the ground. He saw the drawings on the cave walls he made with the berries that seemed to fade over the years of him fighting against the Saiya-jins and winning the battle. Looking at the last drawing, he drew a crude drawing of Shenlong that looked like a lizard compared to how he looked in real life as the drawing showed him with in his mother and father's arms again.

'When Piccolo brought me here, he told me that my father died by my uncle's hands, but he never told me that he took the blow to save Earth,' thought Gohan as he felt the tears running down his cheeks. As he looked around, he saw the old sword he used to carry sitting on top of the leaves. Drawing out the blade, he noticed that it was still perfectly fine, despite the fact that he haven't used it in over twenty years. He expected it to be rusted over or unable to draw the sword since its sheath had some metals in it.

"So, you remember the old times, eh?" said a voice as he whirled around to see Goten at the cave entrance. "You never told me that you lived in a cave. Man! I wish I could have been trained in the wilderness like you have."

"The training I went through was tough, Goten," said Gohan as he put the blade back in the sheath. "You were luckier than I was to have a friend to train with. Piccolo used to have a vision to rule Earth before I was born. If my dad haven't of stopped him, we wouldn't be here today talking about this. When Piccolo brought me here, he was still bent on defeating my dad since he knew that he could be brought back with the Dragon Balls in order to defeat the Saiya-jins. The only reason he didn't defeat my dad was because he sacrificed himself to protect me from Nappa. That's why I left them back at the meeting. I was afraid that if I were to go with both of them, they would gang up on me after the fighting's over and kick my ass."

"They wouldn't," said Scrix as Gohan whirled around and saw the mighty Saiya-jin along with Nappa and Radditz. "Is that right you two?"

"Yes," said Nappa and Radditz.

"Then why did you kill my friends?" said Gohan.

"We would have been killed by Freeza," said Nappa. "He was already angry due to the fact that I was disobeying him and if we didn't destroy this planet, we would have died."

"I was only trying to get my brother to join us so that we could overthrow Freeza," said Radditz. "However, I had no idea he kidnapped my father. If I would have known, then I could have left Kakarot alone."

"We're going into battle against those Saiya-jins to try and atone what we did in the past," said Nappa. "We might as well so that we won't all die a gruesome death. Besides, you are fighting for your mate, aren't you not?"

"Yes," said Gohan as he realized he misjudged Nappa and Radditz from the men he knew over twenty years prior. "Let's go show Zi-Kita what happens when he messes with family and save my father!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Elsewhere in space, a spaceship arrives to Caduto as an elderly Namek sits looking at the seven mythical spheres that contain the mighty Saiya-jin God, Shenlong himself. Unlike Earth's Dragon Balls, these Dragon Balls were not orange, but purely black with silver stars in the center of each ball. Looking up, the elder Namek looked at the door opened and Zi-Kita dragged the unconscious Goku into the room and unceremoniously threw him on the cold tiled floor. A resounding crack is heard as Goku groaned a bit in discomfort.

"Slug, do you have the Dragon Balls ready?" said Zi-Kita.

"Yes my lord," said the elderly Namek known as Slug.

(A/N: Obvious question: What movie did Slug star in and what was the movie's number was it? And did anyone else think that the plot sucked with that whole Super Saiya-jin Goku not going Super Saiya-jin, but demi-Super Saiya-jin? | Scrix: There's no such thing as a demi-Super Saiya-jin! | CMG: You tell that to Infr then! | Scrix: Well? | Infr: There's such a thing. If a Saiya-jin is able to power up without transforming, then it's considered a demi-Super Saiya-jin form. | CMG: See Scrix? It's a form! | Scrix: It's a pointless form then! | CMG: Stop griping and get me the movie so I can burn it in the fire then! | Infr: Just continue the story already. We're holding up the suspense. | CMG: Fine.)

"Then summon Shenlong then," said Zi-Kita as Goku starts regaining consciousness.

"Very well," said Slug as he switches to Namekian. "By your power, I summon you, Tronikor!"

The chamber suddenly was bathed in light as a shorter version of the dragon came out of the Dragon Balls. Instead of being hundreds of feet long, he was standing there in the center of the room about nine feet tall. Hovering slightly over the pale glow of the Dragon Balls, the dragon looked different from both Shenlong and Porunga, the Namekian dragon as he seemed to look more human than dragon. His snout was shorter, his eyes were only red in the pupils, and his claws were like hands. The thing that set him apart from both dragons was the fact that he was dressed in ancient warrior-type of armor as he seemed as though he fought many battles against mortals in his spare time. The horns were a pure ebony while his scaled skin was as white as snow. His white tail wavered in the air as black wings made him look bigger and more menacing.

"You have summoned me," boomed Tronikor. "I shall grant your very desires."

"What is it that you wish for sire," said Slug.

"I wish that Kakarotto was to forget his memories and to serve me," said Zi-Kita.

"No Tronikor!" said Goku surprisingly in Namekian. "Don't grant Zi-Kita's wish!"

"What?!" said Slug as he looked at Goku in shock. "How did you know the Namekian language?"

"It's for me to know and you to find out," said Goku before Zi-Kita kicked him in the ribs.

"Quiet you low-class vermin!" growled Zi-Kita as Goku was coughing violently from the pain. "I don't want you interfering with my plans for universal domination! Tell Tronikor my wish now!"

"As you wish, my Lord," said Slug as he translated what Zi-Kita said in Namekian.

"Despite what you say, I live to serve Lord Zi-Kita only. Your wish has been granted," said Tronikor as Goku's body started to glow. As Goku felt the memories fade, he lost consciousness once more.

CMG: W00t! Another's chapter's finished. Now to wait patiently for reviews.

Scrix: Are you sure that they know this is the sequel to Unexpected Fate?

CMG: Of course! I put that in the summary!

Infr: You fool! No one really reads summaries these days!

CMG: How should I summarize it then? Sequel to Unexpected Fate. Twelve years passed since the end of Majin Buu. Infr, God of the Saiya-jins, is rivaled by Zi-Kita's power when Goku is kidnapped, brainwashed, and forced to serve a false God. With the hero betraying his family and friends, Bardock rises to try and save his son. Will the universe be saved or will darkness triumph? Find out!

Scrix: *shocked* You know, you just gave a great summary.

CMG: Fine. That's definitely my summary, so shut-up! I'm waiting for review now. *sits down on the ground Indian style as she pulls a Piccolo and starts hovering in the air*

Infr: She's going to be like this unless we do something.

Karis: We'll get the ice cream! *runs off with Saria to go on an ice cream hunt*

*Inside the laundry room...*

Zi-Kita: *trapped inside the laundry basket* LET ME OUT OF HERE OR I SWEAR I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU GODS! SO HELP ME IF I WILL?! I'LL MAKE THAT SUPER BITCHIN' PAY WITH HER SOUL! *more clothes fall on him* ARGH!!
