Usagi sat on the ground and stared up into the sky. She knew exactly who was invading earth at that moment. She remembered her father's story about what events took place on this day. This was the day that Freiza came to earth. It was also the day that her own father would be returning to earth. She knew that because Trunks was not going to be there to intervene, that her father would use his teleportation technique to get here as soon as possible so the world would not be destroyed. She wouldn't be able to kill Freiza like Trunks had either. She wasn't nearly strong enough. She didn't even have the full power of a Super Saiyan yet, even though she thought to be one by everyone.
Usagi knew that she had to stop Mamoru from challenging her father, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to go. She didn't know what the point was. If she went, Gohan would see her and get angry. Of course, if he saw Mamoru, one would end up challenging the other. She didn't want that to happen. She didn't want there to be tension. Although she didn't care for Mamoru too much, she didn't want him to get hurt. She still had hope for him. The only way that a conflict could be prevented was if she convinced Mamoru not to show himself. But then again, that would require her to go near Gohan. She knew that she wouldn't be able to catch up with Mamoru before he reached the battlefield. She sighed as she lay back and rested her head in the grass. "Maybe he's right. Maybe I do mess everything up you guys."
Rei sat down by her friend. She knew that her relationship with Mamoru took more of a toll on her then she wanted everyone to know. She could sense uneasiness in Usagi whenever they were near each other. She didn't quite like Mamoru either, but Usagi seemed to take everything that he said to her straight to heart. She took almost everything that other people said to heart. Even though on the outside she seemed like a happy person, she wasn't. On the inside she was just a confused and scared girl who cowards behind others. "Usagi, you don't mess things up."
"Yes I do. I just screwed up our chances of getting the Dragon Balls. I should have just asked for the Dragon Balls instead of trying to take them."
Ami pulled out the Dragon Radar and turned it on. "You guys, it looks like Gohan took one of the Dragon Balls with him. He may try to keep it on his person until Goku gets home." She turned it off and put it in her pocket. He could prove to be somewhat of a problem. "Maybe we should collect the other balls and then come back to this one later."
"What's the point? He's not going to give it to us. Gohan is one of the most stubborn people I know. Once his mind is set, nothing can change it. Believe me, I know this for a fact. And it's even worse if he thinks you're his enemy. That ball is as good as gone. We're never going to get home. We're doomed to stay here for the rest of our lives with no hope of ever getting home." Usagi sat up. She didn't have any idea how she was supposed to get home. Gohan would never give up the ball. She figured that he would tell everyone about what she tried earlier anyways, which made it even harder for her to show her face around the group.
Rei frowned. She didn't like the way Usagi was talking one bit. She had never heard Usagi once give up hope on ANYTHING. She always looked to the bright side of things. But she had noticed that Mamoru always seemed to bring out the pessimist in her. She straightened her hand and slapped Usagi as hard as she could in the face. "I can't believe you! I'm pretty sure Goku never taught you to just give up! In fact, I'm positive he didn't! I've known him long enough to know that he would one, tell you not to give up on anything, and two, he would be disappointed to hear that you gave up without a real fight!" She stood up and looked down at Usagi, who was now trying to hide her tears from Rei. "I'm going to the battlefield with Mamoru. I'm going to talk to Gohan and the others. You can join me if you want, but don't think that I'm going to give up just because you did." She leaped up into the air, turning to look at Ami. "Hey, are you coming, or staying here?"
Ami looked over to Usagi, and then up at Rei. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to go with Rei, yet, she didn't want to leave Usagi alone in the current state that she was in. Usagi looked horrible. She was dealing with a lot of different problems at once. Ami definitely knew how that was. She also knew that when she was down with a problem, the only thing that she wanted the most, was time alone to be with her thoughts. That's why she made her next decision. "I'll come with you Rei." She saw her leaving at doing Usagi a favor.
Rei called for Nimbus and then looked down at Usagi. "So, are you coming or not?"
Usagi didn't lift her head. She was too embarrassed to look at Rei. She knew that she was completely right. It was wrong to give up at such an early stage, but she knew it was hopeless. She didn't understand why she should keep pushing when she already knew what the outcome would be. "Leave me alone." She could hear Rei growling under her breath, but she didn't care. She had every right to feel the way that she did. She didn't think that Rei and Ami would leave her alone anyways.
"Fine." Rei waited for Ami to rise up into the air with Nimbus. "If you ever come to your senses, you're welcome to come to the battle field anytime." She turned around and took off and flew away as fast as she could. Nimbus easily kept up with Ami on it.
Usagi looked up. She couldn't believe that her friends just left her behind. She expected that kind of thing from Mamoru, but never from two of her closest friends. She stood up and frowned. "FINE! I DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAYS!" She continued to look into the horizon, hoping that Rei and Ami would return. But they never did. At least five minutes passed, there was still no sign of them. They had actually left her. 'Some friends they are. I know Minako and Makoto wouldn't do that. Speaking of them, I wonder what they're doing right now. I wonder what mom and daddy are doing right now. I bet only a couple minutes have passed there. They probably don't even know I'm gone. Here I am, trying to save daddy and get home, and they don't even know I'm missing. I'm glad they have nothing to worry about. But they will tonight when daddy finishes fighting with Piccolo and Gohan." She wiped away some of the tears that dripped down to her chin. "I'm sorry everyone."
Usagi began to slowly walk forward. She didn't know where she was going, nor did she care. She just needed time to think. She got everyone into this mess, and she would get them out. She didn't know how she would get the Dragon Balls that were in her family's possession, but she would think of something. And it had to be something that didn't involve telling anyone anything about who she was. She couldn't afford to drastically ruin another time line. She had really let herself slip in the other time, but she couldn't do that again. She didn't trust the others to not tell. They had suggested that she tell them who they were. She had to make sure that they didn't. But she couldn't go to the battlefield. Everyone would hate her, including her friends.
~*~*~
'I want to know how Frieza lived through dad's attack. It doesn't make any sense. Namek exploded. He should be dead. Dad wouldn't have left if Frieza was still alive. And what was with those kids from earlier? Why did they want the Dragon Balls? Are they with Frieza too? That girl had a somewhat strong powerlevel. She didn't even get it up all the way. I hope she isn't with him. Dad isn't here to help us yet.' Gohan flew as fast as he could to the site where Frieza would be landing. He squinted his eyes when he saw something flying up in front of him. "Krillin! Is that you!?" He sped up a bit.
Krillin turned his head around. "Hey Gohan! You felt it to huh?" Krillin was horrified when he first felt Frieza again. He had hoped that he would never have to see the girlish monster from hell again. He was blown up by him once, he didn't exactly want to be blown up again. That wasn't his idea of a good time.
Gohan slowed down once he caught up to his friend. "Yeah, I don't know how or why he's here, but I know that it's not for a family reunion. But something strange happened right before he arrived. These strange kids came and tried to steal the Dragon Balls that dad keeps in the house. I had to take one with me just so they didn't come back."
Krillin raised an eyebrow out of both fascination and fear. "What?! Where they forceful?"
Gohan shook his head. "No, the girl tried to say that they wanted them for an emergency. But, if it was such and emergency, why would the need to steal the balls from us? The boy that was with them tried to step up, but I showed him not to mess with me. Although, I didn't enjoy it. I actually hated to do it. I don't like hurting people. But dad told me to protect the balls. So I did."
Krillin smiled. Gohan was so much like his father it was scary. "Your dad would be proud of you Gohan. He already is."
Gohan smiled and turned his concentration back to the enemy ship nearing the planet. "I think we should land here Krillin. We shouldn't use our energy or else their scouters might pick us up."
Krillin nodded. "Good idea Gohan." Both fighters descended to the ground, where they found most of their friends already there.
~*~*~
Mamoru landed closely behind them. 'What stupid idiotic fools. They didn't even feel me following them. They were too concerned with this Frieza guy's power that they didn't even know I was here. What's wrong with them? I thought they were top class fighters.' He smirked. 'Maybe they're beatable after all.' He looked behind him as he felt a familiar energy approaching fast. 'Look. It's the circus girls come to watch the fireworks.' He waved to them to show them where to come. He didn't want them to go any further and spoil his fun. He looked behind Rei to see Ami on Nimbus and looked ever further then that to see pretty much nothing. Hr just saw the blue sky.
Rei spotted Mamoru's hand flailing in the air. She looked onward and saw a group of fighters awaiting Freiza's arrival. She didn't know what the big deal was about his powerlevel. Yeah it was big, but they had felt stronger before in the future. She turned her head just enough to see Ami. "Let's land down there next to Mamoru."
"Right." She nudged on Nimbus a bit to let it know that she wanted to land. She looked at Mamoru. He looked like he was in a rather good mood. He always did after he did mean things to Usagi though. He seemed to take pleasure in making fun of her. Most of the time he said mild remarks, but other times, he was just downright mean. And this day, he was just being downright mean. Meaner then usual actually. It seemed like he was just picking fights for the hell of it.
She jumped down off Nimbus and poked her head out from behind a rock that blocked them from being seen by the fighters. "Hey, look, Bulma's here."
Rei pushed past Mamoru and stood behind her friend. "Where?" She let her eyes scan across the area until they lay on the blue haired woman. "Your right. She is here. But, why? She doesn't fight as far as I know."
"She doesn't. I don't know why she's here, but we could use this to our advantage."
Rei stopped looking at the group of people in front of her and pulled away from the rock. "What do you mean? Do you think Bulma can make us a time machine or something? That would be great if she could. I know she can't fix our time pad. It exploded and all. I don't think that's very repairable." Rei hope that Bulma could help them. She didn't exactly want to stay in this time any longer if they had to. Even if they had managed to get the Dragon Balls from Gohan, they would still have to stay in that time for a year before they could gather them up again and go home. Even though a year was on and equivalent of one day to them.
Ami kept her eyes on Bulma. She looked a lot more spunky now then she did in the future. "Well, I'm not sure. First we have to tell them who we are, but I'm not sure we want to do that. Usagi may not want to tell them who she is. You know how upset she is."
Rei frowned as she crossed her arms. "She's being ridiculous. If Goku ever knew how she was acting…"
"He would understand. You know that Usagi has a harder time then we do. She's been through more then us. Just leave her alone. She'll come around." Mamoru snorted as he found THAT funny. "You think I'm wrong?"
"Hell yeah I think you're wrong. Odango is just a big crybaby. That's all she does. If something doesn't go her way, she whines about it. If she's going to be a fighter, she needs to act like it. I personally don't know how Goku could have lived with that for eight years. You just watch, now that she's going to be gone for a day, Goku is going to realize just what a pain in the ass his daughter is and how nice it is to not have her around. Then he's going to want more of that. So you know what he's going to do…"
"No Mamoru. Please tell me what dad is going to do to make me easier to be around. I want to know before he actually does it." Usagi had decided to go to the battlefield. She thought about what Rei had said about not going down without a fight and realized that she should at least try, even if she knew it would fail. She didn't want her friends to be mad at her. But she now realized that it didn't matter. They thought she was baby and that was that. There was no way to change that now. She tried desperately to hold back tears. If they saw her cry, it would only add to their accusations.
Mamoru turned around with force. He hadn't meant for Usagi to hear that. Although he meant every word of what he just said, he didn't want Usagi to hear it. He knew it would make her upset. Although he didn't like her, he knew that that was a little too harsh to let her hear. It was a little late to shelter her ears from it now. She wanted to hear it and would make him tell her. He couldn't give up his reputation of being mean to her anyways. He couldn't turn soft. He would be heavily made fun of. Especially by his best friends, Haruka and Michiru. "Odango, when did you get here? I didn't even feel you."
"I took Nimbus so you wouldn't know. Now, tell me, what is daddy going to do to me?" Usagi was getting impatient.
"I was just telling your 'friends' that Goku will either leave you here and take the rest of us, or he'll put you under some severe training. He won't have any mercy on you."
Usagi frowned. "My daddy would never do that to me. You're lying Mamoru."
Mamoru grinned. "Am I now? Well, it just so happens that I was talking to him about your crybaby ways today. He said that he was getting really put out with you." He knew that he could really make her angry this way.
"That's not true. Daddy would never say anything like that. Shut up!"
"It's completely true Odango. Your father hates you. He wants you to act your age." He looked back at Rei and Ami. They looked speechless. They didn't know what he was doing. Hell, he didn't even know what he was doing. He didn't even fell an urge to be this incredibly rude to her. It was just happening.
Usagi let the tears come out again. She knew that her father would never say anything like that. At least, she hoped. There had been many times that he told her to stop whining and being a crybaby. "Take it back Mamoru. He didn't say it." She waited for a reply, but got none. "I SAID TAKE IT BACK!" That's when she let it go. She let all the anger that was built up inside her from the past day, go. She didn't care that the others would hear her.
~*~*~
Everyone turned their heads over into the direction of Usagi and her friends after they heard her scream at Mamoru. They weren't sure who was behind the rocks but they were sure going to find out soon. Vejita looked up at the sky. "He shouldn't be here for another five minutes if we're lucky."
Gohan stepped forward. He was pretty sure he knew who it was. He could feel the girl's Ki rising again. "I don't think we're very lucky Vejita. Frieza came to earth, and these are the same people who came to my house. They must have followed me here thinking that they are going to get the Dragon Ball."
Krillin ran towards the commotion. "We can't let them get their hands on the Dragon Balls." He looked up at the sky. 'Goku, where are you? Frieza is coming and now we have a new enemy. This is not good.'
~*~*~
Usagi jumped onto Mamoru's face and began punching him in the face as hard as she could. Her golden aura surrounded he body as she let her rage take over. It was one thing to just make fun of her, but it was another to bring her relationship with her father in. She knew that Mamoru hated her whole family. He hated her father because he hit him. He hated her brothers because they always threatened to beat the hell out of him if they touched her. He didn't like her because she was just, well, her. He didn't like anything about her. At least, that's what he showed to the world. Usagi knew that there was more to him then he let on. There was something strangely familiar about him that scared Usagi. For some reason she felt a connection to him. It confused her but she was usually able to put these feelings away when he made fun of her. Bad always outweighs the good, at least, in her eyes it did.
"Get the hell off me Odango!" Mamoru dug his fingers into Usagi's waist as hard and as deep as he could and ripped her off, throwing her to the side.
Rei and Ami ducked as Usagi came flying right for them. Rei frowned. This was neither the time nor the place to be having a fight. "Mamoru! Stop it. You're out of line!" She stood up and turned around to be face to face with a nightmare. "Uh-oh. Not good."
Usagi flew backwards into something bulky and hard. "Huh?" She fell straight to the ground and landed with a thud. She sat up and grabbed her head. "Owe. What was that?" She turned around to find herself staring at a pair of legs covered in green pants. "What the…" She looked up and found herself looking at a pair of scowling eyes. It was pretty obvious whom they belonged to. "Uh, hi Ve…"
Rei bent down and put her hand over Usagi's mouth, muffling her words. She put her face in Usagi's ear. "No slip ups. They don't know who we are remember?"
Usagi nodded as she stood up, after Rei pulled away from her. She looked up and looked around at everyone. They were all frowning at them. She let her eyes wander around the group until they reached Gohan. "Uh…hi?" She was now happy that she had not yet untucked her tail from her skirt.
"Look, drop it. You're not getting the Dragon Ball. I don't care what you need it for. You should leave. As long as we have it, you won't touch it. You are among the greatest fighters of this planet. So just run along." Gohan shooed his sister and her friends away. He glared at Mamoru as he glared back.
Usagi kept her ground. She would not take no for an answer. "I'm not leaving. Please give me the Dragon Ball. I know it was wrong for me to steal it, but you see, I didn't see it as stealing it." Usagi knew it was pretty useless to be asking, but she did it for the sake of her friends.
"If you really needed it, you would have asked for it straight up. You must have bad intentions for this, otherwise you wouldn't have tried to steal it from us. You've lost your chances of ever getting it."
Mamoru grabbed Usagi by the shoulder and threw her to the ground. "Look! Just hand over the damned thing! You don't seem to understand the fact that we are more powerful then you'll ever be." Vejita snorted. "Don't start with me old man." Mamoru seemed to forget that in this timeline, Vejita was still in his thirties and not his seventies. He grabbed Gohan by the front of his fighting gear and pulled him up to his face. "Now had it over kid!"
Piccolo had seen enough. No one talked to his best friend that way. He ran up to Mamoru and grabbed him by the neck, forcing him to let go of Gohan. Piccolo brought Mamoru up to his face. "Look KID! Now YOU listen here. You aren't getting your greedy little hands on that Dragon Ball. You keep your damned hands off Gohan too. He's got more power in his body then a puny human like you will ever possess."
Mamoru couldn't say anything. It wasn't that he was too scared too, it was just too weird to see what seemed like his father, yelling at him. He had never talked back to his father in his life and he couldn't do it now. Even if it wasn't technically his father.
Rei and Usagi jumped for Mamoru and grabbed onto his legs. They weren't about to let anything bad happen to him, even if he was being a pain. They had to stick together. Their Piccolo would kill them if he knew that they let something bad happen to his son. Usagi was already going to get in big enough trouble. "Let him go you bully!"
Piccolo gladly let go. He had no intention what so ever to hurt Mamoru, or any of them for that fact, unless they posed as an immediate threat. "Get out of here then." He turned to the sky. Frieza's ship was now very visible. It would be there any minute. "Guys. We have bigger problems then these squirts."
~*~*~
Five minutes later…
Mamoru, Rei, Ami, and Usagi hid high up on a mountain. They were well-hidden behind rocks that had fallen from the top. Although they were told to leave, they did not. As soon as they all flew off to fight Frieza, they high tailed it into another spot so they wouldn't be in the way of the fight. So far, many things had changed between the story that Usagi's father had told her and what was actually happening. She figured that it was their being there that had caused the changes. In her father's story, Piccolo and the others waited for Frieza to land before they decided to attack. But here, they decided to attack from the beginning. They didn't have the luxury of Trunks coming from the future and killing Frieza for them. She had no idea when her father would be arriving. She hoped he would get there soon. The guys didn't seem to be holding up too well. Having the repairs that he had, had made him a lot stronger. "Come on guys. You can do it." She winced when Yamcha got power blasted in the face.
Everyone stopped fighting and looked up to the sky. Usagi, Mamoru, and Rei did the same. Frieza stepped back from the fight. "SAIYAN! IT'S HIM!"
His father looked up into the sky. There floated a figure in the sky, who looked as angry as ever. "Who is that Frieza? Is that the thing that beat you?" He didn't look that entirely tough to him. He didn't even have as high of a power level as his son. "I can't believe that you let THAT beat you. I thought I taught you better."
Frieza frowned. He could beat Goku. He knew he could. "He tricked me. He held back his power. I was already weak by the time he used his full strength. Now I am fully prepared to kill him. Just watch."
Goku scowled down at Frieza. He didn't know how he survived, but he wouldn't let it happen again. Now he had messed with his home. He couldn't let him go this time. It was time to finish it once and for all. "You monster."
Gohan was so happy he could have cried. His father had finally returned home. He couldn't believe it. It was too good to be true. And what a day he picked to return home. "Daddy!"
Goku lowered himself to the ground without taking his eyes off Frieza. "Stay back everyone. I'll take care of this and then we can get back to living a normal happy life. Freiza, you just never learn do you? I gave you many chances to live yet you refuse to take advantage of my kindness."
"Stupid Saiyan. You can never beat me. How many times do I have to tell you?" Frieza grinned. This as all too easy.
"You're right. A Saiyan can't ever beat you. You are too powerful for a Saiyan's power."
"I'm glad you've come to terms with your weaknesses."
Goku smirked. "But, a Super Saiyan can beat you with no problem." Goku concentrated his energy. He hadn't really turned Super Saiyan since the last fight. He had done it maybe once or twice to control the power. His hair began to turn gold as his aura turned gold around him. "You will learn what happens when you mess with my friends, son, and home!" A burst of power emanated from his body and completed his transformation.
"Wow. That's amazing." Usagi whispered to herself. She stood up and came out from behind her hiding spot. "So that's what a Super Saiyan looks like. Daddy has blonde hair just like me." Usagi had never actually seen a Super Saiyan before other then herself. Even then, she didn't really know that she was one. Usagi began to get excited, hence, raising her own powerlevel without realizing. She had never felt such power radiating from her father before. She had felt his power before, but never anything close to this.
Goku was surprised to feel another powerlevel like his own. He turned his head in the direction of Usagi. "Who is that you guys?"
Gohan looked up at the girl. "That girl has been trying to steal the Dragon Balls daddy. I think she has an evil intention for them."
Goku frowned, while Frieza smiled. "Ah yes. The Dragon Balls. I guess your planet has them too. Well then, I'll take you out, and then make my wish and destroy the planet." He fired a red Ki blast at Goku, while he wasn't looking.
Although he wasn't looking, he knew it was coming. He smoothly sidestepped to the left, easily dodging the energy ball. "That was low Frieza."
Mamoru grabbed Usagi and pulled her back into hiding. He looked her in the eyes. "You dumbass. What the hell were you thinking? Now that HE has seen us."
"You were going to challenge him anyways retard." She pulled out of Mamoru's hold and went out from behind the rocks again to watch the fight. She was amazed at her father's powerlevel. She knew that that was just the surface of his power too.
"Just hurry up and finish the job Kakorrotto. Because you waited so long to kill him on Namek, he lived." Vejita was getting to the point where if Goku didn't do something soon, he would step in and do it himself. He didn't care that Frieza had killed him once before. He had gotten stronger and felt that he could take him on.
Goku nodded. "You're right. Frieza, I hate to do this, but I have to." He pulled his hands to his side. "KA-ME"
Usagi let herself kneel down as she felt the ground shaking beneath her. "Daddy's building up to attack."
"ME-HA!" He pushed his hands in front of him and hurled the giant attack at Frieza, his ship, and his father. "Never come back!"
"MY GOD!" Both Frieza and his father put their hands out in front of them in hopes to block the giant Kamehameha wave that crashed towards them. "This can't be! You're just a SAIY…" The impact was too much. They couldn't handle it.
Goku and his friends watch as Frieza and his father were disintegrated. "That takes care of him. He won't be back to bother us again. But he should have known better then to come to my home and threaten all of you."
Everyone ran to Goku, who was still Super Saiyan. He still wasn't sure if that girl could be trusted. He sensed a great power sleeping within her that the others probably didn't sense. Gohan hugged his father. "Dad! You're finally home safe and sound. I was so worried about you."
Goku hugged back. He missed his son during the year that he was gone. "Hey son!" He looked up and around at everyone. "Hey Vejita! Long time no see huh?" Vejita didn't say anything. He never had anything to say to Goku anyways. "Hey guys. How were things when I was gone?"
"Well dad, Garlic Jr. Attacked…" So on so fourth
~*~*~
Usagi turned back to Rei and Ami. She was pretty much ignoring Mamoru at all costs now. "You guys, I think I should tell them. Looking at them all happy like that and knowing what will happen if we don't stop daddy from getting that heart disease makes me sad. He'll die soon if I don't stop it from happening."
Ami stood up from kneeling behind the rocks. She looked down at the group of people below them. She looked back up to Usagi. "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive." She looked over to Rei. "Thanks for talking some sense into me Rei. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what you said, and I think I finally know what I have to do in order to save them. It's not about what I think will happen. I have to actually do things and see what happens." She jumped down to the ground.
Rei was a bit puzzled. "I said that? I thought I just said to not give up even if you know it won't work."
Ami put her hand on Rei's shoulder. "Just let her go with it. She's right anyways. You never know what's going to happen until you try something." She looked over at Mamoru, who looked pretty eager to get down to the ground and fight with Goku. "Leave them be. You'll have a chance to fight him later."
~*~*~
Usagi slowly walked over to the group of happy and laughing people. She could over hear some of their conversation. They were talking about their fight on Namek while also talking about what had happened earlier. There were two conversations going on at once, and everyone was totally able to listen and comprehend both. Her father was still powered up to a Super Saiyan, which was why she was a bit reluctant to go to him. She wasn't sure if he would lash out at her or anything. She remembered Roshi telling her about the first time he felt him go Super Saiyan. The power had been so great, that it made him nearly loose control of his emotions. She knew why he was still Super Saiyan. It was quite obvious that it was for her. He didn't trust her. He must have felt her power that her father from the future always felt and told her she had. "Uh…uh…excuse me?" She didn't get too close.
Goku stopped explaining how he got off of Namek and turned around. He looked at Usagi, who was very timid and almost to the point of shaking. "What? You aren't getting the Dragon Balls. Gohan told me about you."
Usagi hadn't expected to get the Dragon Balls that easily. She knew that she would have to do a little explaining before she was OK'd their use. "Well, he didn't tell you everything. You see I…I…I…" Usagi couldn't find the words. She didn't know how to tell them who she was.
"Yes? What about you? What more do I need to know? You snuck into my house and stole one of the Dragon balls. Gohan barely got that one from you. I don't think anything you say is going to change my mind. The Dragon Balls are not a toy."
"You think I don't know that? Look, I have something really important to tell you. Now please, understand that it's going to be very hard for me to explain." She looked around. It seemed as though she had everyone's attention. Well, all except Vejita's. Of course, he never paid attention so she didn't really mind. She took a deep breath. This was it. "Ok. My name is Son Usagi." No one seemed to catch the Son of her name. They probably just figured that there were lots of people with that last name. She looked back to her friends. They supported her from behind. She nodded when Rei waved her hand to continue. 'What am I doing?' She turned her head back. Her father seemed to be getting bored. "Well I guess I have to come right out and say it. I am from the future. Way, way, WAY in the future. Goku, you are already sixty-eight. Umm…I came here to warn you about something that will be taking place in the near future."
Goku stared blankly at the girl. "You want me to believe that? I think you're just trying to get the Dragon Balls." He looked the girl who called herself Usagi, in the eyes. They told him that she was dead serious. "HAHAHAHAHA!"
Usagi frowned. "I'm not lying!" She could tell that her father would not stop laughing anytime soon. She had heard that he was a little bit on the childish side when he was younger. From what she was witnessing, it was entirely true. "Fine! Have it your way! I'll tell you EVERYTHING! Goku! You're my daddy!"
(Ok, that's it for this part. Don't you just love me? I've been leaving a lot of cliffhangers lately haven't I? Well, I have to make up for chapter two. I didn't leave nearly enough in there. LOL. Anyways, what did you think? Was this chapter good or bad? Please review and tell me. Thanks! ^_~)
Usagi knew that she had to stop Mamoru from challenging her father, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to go. She didn't know what the point was. If she went, Gohan would see her and get angry. Of course, if he saw Mamoru, one would end up challenging the other. She didn't want that to happen. She didn't want there to be tension. Although she didn't care for Mamoru too much, she didn't want him to get hurt. She still had hope for him. The only way that a conflict could be prevented was if she convinced Mamoru not to show himself. But then again, that would require her to go near Gohan. She knew that she wouldn't be able to catch up with Mamoru before he reached the battlefield. She sighed as she lay back and rested her head in the grass. "Maybe he's right. Maybe I do mess everything up you guys."
Rei sat down by her friend. She knew that her relationship with Mamoru took more of a toll on her then she wanted everyone to know. She could sense uneasiness in Usagi whenever they were near each other. She didn't quite like Mamoru either, but Usagi seemed to take everything that he said to her straight to heart. She took almost everything that other people said to heart. Even though on the outside she seemed like a happy person, she wasn't. On the inside she was just a confused and scared girl who cowards behind others. "Usagi, you don't mess things up."
"Yes I do. I just screwed up our chances of getting the Dragon Balls. I should have just asked for the Dragon Balls instead of trying to take them."
Ami pulled out the Dragon Radar and turned it on. "You guys, it looks like Gohan took one of the Dragon Balls with him. He may try to keep it on his person until Goku gets home." She turned it off and put it in her pocket. He could prove to be somewhat of a problem. "Maybe we should collect the other balls and then come back to this one later."
"What's the point? He's not going to give it to us. Gohan is one of the most stubborn people I know. Once his mind is set, nothing can change it. Believe me, I know this for a fact. And it's even worse if he thinks you're his enemy. That ball is as good as gone. We're never going to get home. We're doomed to stay here for the rest of our lives with no hope of ever getting home." Usagi sat up. She didn't have any idea how she was supposed to get home. Gohan would never give up the ball. She figured that he would tell everyone about what she tried earlier anyways, which made it even harder for her to show her face around the group.
Rei frowned. She didn't like the way Usagi was talking one bit. She had never heard Usagi once give up hope on ANYTHING. She always looked to the bright side of things. But she had noticed that Mamoru always seemed to bring out the pessimist in her. She straightened her hand and slapped Usagi as hard as she could in the face. "I can't believe you! I'm pretty sure Goku never taught you to just give up! In fact, I'm positive he didn't! I've known him long enough to know that he would one, tell you not to give up on anything, and two, he would be disappointed to hear that you gave up without a real fight!" She stood up and looked down at Usagi, who was now trying to hide her tears from Rei. "I'm going to the battlefield with Mamoru. I'm going to talk to Gohan and the others. You can join me if you want, but don't think that I'm going to give up just because you did." She leaped up into the air, turning to look at Ami. "Hey, are you coming, or staying here?"
Ami looked over to Usagi, and then up at Rei. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to go with Rei, yet, she didn't want to leave Usagi alone in the current state that she was in. Usagi looked horrible. She was dealing with a lot of different problems at once. Ami definitely knew how that was. She also knew that when she was down with a problem, the only thing that she wanted the most, was time alone to be with her thoughts. That's why she made her next decision. "I'll come with you Rei." She saw her leaving at doing Usagi a favor.
Rei called for Nimbus and then looked down at Usagi. "So, are you coming or not?"
Usagi didn't lift her head. She was too embarrassed to look at Rei. She knew that she was completely right. It was wrong to give up at such an early stage, but she knew it was hopeless. She didn't understand why she should keep pushing when she already knew what the outcome would be. "Leave me alone." She could hear Rei growling under her breath, but she didn't care. She had every right to feel the way that she did. She didn't think that Rei and Ami would leave her alone anyways.
"Fine." Rei waited for Ami to rise up into the air with Nimbus. "If you ever come to your senses, you're welcome to come to the battle field anytime." She turned around and took off and flew away as fast as she could. Nimbus easily kept up with Ami on it.
Usagi looked up. She couldn't believe that her friends just left her behind. She expected that kind of thing from Mamoru, but never from two of her closest friends. She stood up and frowned. "FINE! I DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAYS!" She continued to look into the horizon, hoping that Rei and Ami would return. But they never did. At least five minutes passed, there was still no sign of them. They had actually left her. 'Some friends they are. I know Minako and Makoto wouldn't do that. Speaking of them, I wonder what they're doing right now. I wonder what mom and daddy are doing right now. I bet only a couple minutes have passed there. They probably don't even know I'm gone. Here I am, trying to save daddy and get home, and they don't even know I'm missing. I'm glad they have nothing to worry about. But they will tonight when daddy finishes fighting with Piccolo and Gohan." She wiped away some of the tears that dripped down to her chin. "I'm sorry everyone."
Usagi began to slowly walk forward. She didn't know where she was going, nor did she care. She just needed time to think. She got everyone into this mess, and she would get them out. She didn't know how she would get the Dragon Balls that were in her family's possession, but she would think of something. And it had to be something that didn't involve telling anyone anything about who she was. She couldn't afford to drastically ruin another time line. She had really let herself slip in the other time, but she couldn't do that again. She didn't trust the others to not tell. They had suggested that she tell them who they were. She had to make sure that they didn't. But she couldn't go to the battlefield. Everyone would hate her, including her friends.
~*~*~
'I want to know how Frieza lived through dad's attack. It doesn't make any sense. Namek exploded. He should be dead. Dad wouldn't have left if Frieza was still alive. And what was with those kids from earlier? Why did they want the Dragon Balls? Are they with Frieza too? That girl had a somewhat strong powerlevel. She didn't even get it up all the way. I hope she isn't with him. Dad isn't here to help us yet.' Gohan flew as fast as he could to the site where Frieza would be landing. He squinted his eyes when he saw something flying up in front of him. "Krillin! Is that you!?" He sped up a bit.
Krillin turned his head around. "Hey Gohan! You felt it to huh?" Krillin was horrified when he first felt Frieza again. He had hoped that he would never have to see the girlish monster from hell again. He was blown up by him once, he didn't exactly want to be blown up again. That wasn't his idea of a good time.
Gohan slowed down once he caught up to his friend. "Yeah, I don't know how or why he's here, but I know that it's not for a family reunion. But something strange happened right before he arrived. These strange kids came and tried to steal the Dragon Balls that dad keeps in the house. I had to take one with me just so they didn't come back."
Krillin raised an eyebrow out of both fascination and fear. "What?! Where they forceful?"
Gohan shook his head. "No, the girl tried to say that they wanted them for an emergency. But, if it was such and emergency, why would the need to steal the balls from us? The boy that was with them tried to step up, but I showed him not to mess with me. Although, I didn't enjoy it. I actually hated to do it. I don't like hurting people. But dad told me to protect the balls. So I did."
Krillin smiled. Gohan was so much like his father it was scary. "Your dad would be proud of you Gohan. He already is."
Gohan smiled and turned his concentration back to the enemy ship nearing the planet. "I think we should land here Krillin. We shouldn't use our energy or else their scouters might pick us up."
Krillin nodded. "Good idea Gohan." Both fighters descended to the ground, where they found most of their friends already there.
~*~*~
Mamoru landed closely behind them. 'What stupid idiotic fools. They didn't even feel me following them. They were too concerned with this Frieza guy's power that they didn't even know I was here. What's wrong with them? I thought they were top class fighters.' He smirked. 'Maybe they're beatable after all.' He looked behind him as he felt a familiar energy approaching fast. 'Look. It's the circus girls come to watch the fireworks.' He waved to them to show them where to come. He didn't want them to go any further and spoil his fun. He looked behind Rei to see Ami on Nimbus and looked ever further then that to see pretty much nothing. Hr just saw the blue sky.
Rei spotted Mamoru's hand flailing in the air. She looked onward and saw a group of fighters awaiting Freiza's arrival. She didn't know what the big deal was about his powerlevel. Yeah it was big, but they had felt stronger before in the future. She turned her head just enough to see Ami. "Let's land down there next to Mamoru."
"Right." She nudged on Nimbus a bit to let it know that she wanted to land. She looked at Mamoru. He looked like he was in a rather good mood. He always did after he did mean things to Usagi though. He seemed to take pleasure in making fun of her. Most of the time he said mild remarks, but other times, he was just downright mean. And this day, he was just being downright mean. Meaner then usual actually. It seemed like he was just picking fights for the hell of it.
She jumped down off Nimbus and poked her head out from behind a rock that blocked them from being seen by the fighters. "Hey, look, Bulma's here."
Rei pushed past Mamoru and stood behind her friend. "Where?" She let her eyes scan across the area until they lay on the blue haired woman. "Your right. She is here. But, why? She doesn't fight as far as I know."
"She doesn't. I don't know why she's here, but we could use this to our advantage."
Rei stopped looking at the group of people in front of her and pulled away from the rock. "What do you mean? Do you think Bulma can make us a time machine or something? That would be great if she could. I know she can't fix our time pad. It exploded and all. I don't think that's very repairable." Rei hope that Bulma could help them. She didn't exactly want to stay in this time any longer if they had to. Even if they had managed to get the Dragon Balls from Gohan, they would still have to stay in that time for a year before they could gather them up again and go home. Even though a year was on and equivalent of one day to them.
Ami kept her eyes on Bulma. She looked a lot more spunky now then she did in the future. "Well, I'm not sure. First we have to tell them who we are, but I'm not sure we want to do that. Usagi may not want to tell them who she is. You know how upset she is."
Rei frowned as she crossed her arms. "She's being ridiculous. If Goku ever knew how she was acting…"
"He would understand. You know that Usagi has a harder time then we do. She's been through more then us. Just leave her alone. She'll come around." Mamoru snorted as he found THAT funny. "You think I'm wrong?"
"Hell yeah I think you're wrong. Odango is just a big crybaby. That's all she does. If something doesn't go her way, she whines about it. If she's going to be a fighter, she needs to act like it. I personally don't know how Goku could have lived with that for eight years. You just watch, now that she's going to be gone for a day, Goku is going to realize just what a pain in the ass his daughter is and how nice it is to not have her around. Then he's going to want more of that. So you know what he's going to do…"
"No Mamoru. Please tell me what dad is going to do to make me easier to be around. I want to know before he actually does it." Usagi had decided to go to the battlefield. She thought about what Rei had said about not going down without a fight and realized that she should at least try, even if she knew it would fail. She didn't want her friends to be mad at her. But she now realized that it didn't matter. They thought she was baby and that was that. There was no way to change that now. She tried desperately to hold back tears. If they saw her cry, it would only add to their accusations.
Mamoru turned around with force. He hadn't meant for Usagi to hear that. Although he meant every word of what he just said, he didn't want Usagi to hear it. He knew it would make her upset. Although he didn't like her, he knew that that was a little too harsh to let her hear. It was a little late to shelter her ears from it now. She wanted to hear it and would make him tell her. He couldn't give up his reputation of being mean to her anyways. He couldn't turn soft. He would be heavily made fun of. Especially by his best friends, Haruka and Michiru. "Odango, when did you get here? I didn't even feel you."
"I took Nimbus so you wouldn't know. Now, tell me, what is daddy going to do to me?" Usagi was getting impatient.
"I was just telling your 'friends' that Goku will either leave you here and take the rest of us, or he'll put you under some severe training. He won't have any mercy on you."
Usagi frowned. "My daddy would never do that to me. You're lying Mamoru."
Mamoru grinned. "Am I now? Well, it just so happens that I was talking to him about your crybaby ways today. He said that he was getting really put out with you." He knew that he could really make her angry this way.
"That's not true. Daddy would never say anything like that. Shut up!"
"It's completely true Odango. Your father hates you. He wants you to act your age." He looked back at Rei and Ami. They looked speechless. They didn't know what he was doing. Hell, he didn't even know what he was doing. He didn't even fell an urge to be this incredibly rude to her. It was just happening.
Usagi let the tears come out again. She knew that her father would never say anything like that. At least, she hoped. There had been many times that he told her to stop whining and being a crybaby. "Take it back Mamoru. He didn't say it." She waited for a reply, but got none. "I SAID TAKE IT BACK!" That's when she let it go. She let all the anger that was built up inside her from the past day, go. She didn't care that the others would hear her.
~*~*~
Everyone turned their heads over into the direction of Usagi and her friends after they heard her scream at Mamoru. They weren't sure who was behind the rocks but they were sure going to find out soon. Vejita looked up at the sky. "He shouldn't be here for another five minutes if we're lucky."
Gohan stepped forward. He was pretty sure he knew who it was. He could feel the girl's Ki rising again. "I don't think we're very lucky Vejita. Frieza came to earth, and these are the same people who came to my house. They must have followed me here thinking that they are going to get the Dragon Ball."
Krillin ran towards the commotion. "We can't let them get their hands on the Dragon Balls." He looked up at the sky. 'Goku, where are you? Frieza is coming and now we have a new enemy. This is not good.'
~*~*~
Usagi jumped onto Mamoru's face and began punching him in the face as hard as she could. Her golden aura surrounded he body as she let her rage take over. It was one thing to just make fun of her, but it was another to bring her relationship with her father in. She knew that Mamoru hated her whole family. He hated her father because he hit him. He hated her brothers because they always threatened to beat the hell out of him if they touched her. He didn't like her because she was just, well, her. He didn't like anything about her. At least, that's what he showed to the world. Usagi knew that there was more to him then he let on. There was something strangely familiar about him that scared Usagi. For some reason she felt a connection to him. It confused her but she was usually able to put these feelings away when he made fun of her. Bad always outweighs the good, at least, in her eyes it did.
"Get the hell off me Odango!" Mamoru dug his fingers into Usagi's waist as hard and as deep as he could and ripped her off, throwing her to the side.
Rei and Ami ducked as Usagi came flying right for them. Rei frowned. This was neither the time nor the place to be having a fight. "Mamoru! Stop it. You're out of line!" She stood up and turned around to be face to face with a nightmare. "Uh-oh. Not good."
Usagi flew backwards into something bulky and hard. "Huh?" She fell straight to the ground and landed with a thud. She sat up and grabbed her head. "Owe. What was that?" She turned around to find herself staring at a pair of legs covered in green pants. "What the…" She looked up and found herself looking at a pair of scowling eyes. It was pretty obvious whom they belonged to. "Uh, hi Ve…"
Rei bent down and put her hand over Usagi's mouth, muffling her words. She put her face in Usagi's ear. "No slip ups. They don't know who we are remember?"
Usagi nodded as she stood up, after Rei pulled away from her. She looked up and looked around at everyone. They were all frowning at them. She let her eyes wander around the group until they reached Gohan. "Uh…hi?" She was now happy that she had not yet untucked her tail from her skirt.
"Look, drop it. You're not getting the Dragon Ball. I don't care what you need it for. You should leave. As long as we have it, you won't touch it. You are among the greatest fighters of this planet. So just run along." Gohan shooed his sister and her friends away. He glared at Mamoru as he glared back.
Usagi kept her ground. She would not take no for an answer. "I'm not leaving. Please give me the Dragon Ball. I know it was wrong for me to steal it, but you see, I didn't see it as stealing it." Usagi knew it was pretty useless to be asking, but she did it for the sake of her friends.
"If you really needed it, you would have asked for it straight up. You must have bad intentions for this, otherwise you wouldn't have tried to steal it from us. You've lost your chances of ever getting it."
Mamoru grabbed Usagi by the shoulder and threw her to the ground. "Look! Just hand over the damned thing! You don't seem to understand the fact that we are more powerful then you'll ever be." Vejita snorted. "Don't start with me old man." Mamoru seemed to forget that in this timeline, Vejita was still in his thirties and not his seventies. He grabbed Gohan by the front of his fighting gear and pulled him up to his face. "Now had it over kid!"
Piccolo had seen enough. No one talked to his best friend that way. He ran up to Mamoru and grabbed him by the neck, forcing him to let go of Gohan. Piccolo brought Mamoru up to his face. "Look KID! Now YOU listen here. You aren't getting your greedy little hands on that Dragon Ball. You keep your damned hands off Gohan too. He's got more power in his body then a puny human like you will ever possess."
Mamoru couldn't say anything. It wasn't that he was too scared too, it was just too weird to see what seemed like his father, yelling at him. He had never talked back to his father in his life and he couldn't do it now. Even if it wasn't technically his father.
Rei and Usagi jumped for Mamoru and grabbed onto his legs. They weren't about to let anything bad happen to him, even if he was being a pain. They had to stick together. Their Piccolo would kill them if he knew that they let something bad happen to his son. Usagi was already going to get in big enough trouble. "Let him go you bully!"
Piccolo gladly let go. He had no intention what so ever to hurt Mamoru, or any of them for that fact, unless they posed as an immediate threat. "Get out of here then." He turned to the sky. Frieza's ship was now very visible. It would be there any minute. "Guys. We have bigger problems then these squirts."
~*~*~
Five minutes later…
Mamoru, Rei, Ami, and Usagi hid high up on a mountain. They were well-hidden behind rocks that had fallen from the top. Although they were told to leave, they did not. As soon as they all flew off to fight Frieza, they high tailed it into another spot so they wouldn't be in the way of the fight. So far, many things had changed between the story that Usagi's father had told her and what was actually happening. She figured that it was their being there that had caused the changes. In her father's story, Piccolo and the others waited for Frieza to land before they decided to attack. But here, they decided to attack from the beginning. They didn't have the luxury of Trunks coming from the future and killing Frieza for them. She had no idea when her father would be arriving. She hoped he would get there soon. The guys didn't seem to be holding up too well. Having the repairs that he had, had made him a lot stronger. "Come on guys. You can do it." She winced when Yamcha got power blasted in the face.
Everyone stopped fighting and looked up to the sky. Usagi, Mamoru, and Rei did the same. Frieza stepped back from the fight. "SAIYAN! IT'S HIM!"
His father looked up into the sky. There floated a figure in the sky, who looked as angry as ever. "Who is that Frieza? Is that the thing that beat you?" He didn't look that entirely tough to him. He didn't even have as high of a power level as his son. "I can't believe that you let THAT beat you. I thought I taught you better."
Frieza frowned. He could beat Goku. He knew he could. "He tricked me. He held back his power. I was already weak by the time he used his full strength. Now I am fully prepared to kill him. Just watch."
Goku scowled down at Frieza. He didn't know how he survived, but he wouldn't let it happen again. Now he had messed with his home. He couldn't let him go this time. It was time to finish it once and for all. "You monster."
Gohan was so happy he could have cried. His father had finally returned home. He couldn't believe it. It was too good to be true. And what a day he picked to return home. "Daddy!"
Goku lowered himself to the ground without taking his eyes off Frieza. "Stay back everyone. I'll take care of this and then we can get back to living a normal happy life. Freiza, you just never learn do you? I gave you many chances to live yet you refuse to take advantage of my kindness."
"Stupid Saiyan. You can never beat me. How many times do I have to tell you?" Frieza grinned. This as all too easy.
"You're right. A Saiyan can't ever beat you. You are too powerful for a Saiyan's power."
"I'm glad you've come to terms with your weaknesses."
Goku smirked. "But, a Super Saiyan can beat you with no problem." Goku concentrated his energy. He hadn't really turned Super Saiyan since the last fight. He had done it maybe once or twice to control the power. His hair began to turn gold as his aura turned gold around him. "You will learn what happens when you mess with my friends, son, and home!" A burst of power emanated from his body and completed his transformation.
"Wow. That's amazing." Usagi whispered to herself. She stood up and came out from behind her hiding spot. "So that's what a Super Saiyan looks like. Daddy has blonde hair just like me." Usagi had never actually seen a Super Saiyan before other then herself. Even then, she didn't really know that she was one. Usagi began to get excited, hence, raising her own powerlevel without realizing. She had never felt such power radiating from her father before. She had felt his power before, but never anything close to this.
Goku was surprised to feel another powerlevel like his own. He turned his head in the direction of Usagi. "Who is that you guys?"
Gohan looked up at the girl. "That girl has been trying to steal the Dragon Balls daddy. I think she has an evil intention for them."
Goku frowned, while Frieza smiled. "Ah yes. The Dragon Balls. I guess your planet has them too. Well then, I'll take you out, and then make my wish and destroy the planet." He fired a red Ki blast at Goku, while he wasn't looking.
Although he wasn't looking, he knew it was coming. He smoothly sidestepped to the left, easily dodging the energy ball. "That was low Frieza."
Mamoru grabbed Usagi and pulled her back into hiding. He looked her in the eyes. "You dumbass. What the hell were you thinking? Now that HE has seen us."
"You were going to challenge him anyways retard." She pulled out of Mamoru's hold and went out from behind the rocks again to watch the fight. She was amazed at her father's powerlevel. She knew that that was just the surface of his power too.
"Just hurry up and finish the job Kakorrotto. Because you waited so long to kill him on Namek, he lived." Vejita was getting to the point where if Goku didn't do something soon, he would step in and do it himself. He didn't care that Frieza had killed him once before. He had gotten stronger and felt that he could take him on.
Goku nodded. "You're right. Frieza, I hate to do this, but I have to." He pulled his hands to his side. "KA-ME"
Usagi let herself kneel down as she felt the ground shaking beneath her. "Daddy's building up to attack."
"ME-HA!" He pushed his hands in front of him and hurled the giant attack at Frieza, his ship, and his father. "Never come back!"
"MY GOD!" Both Frieza and his father put their hands out in front of them in hopes to block the giant Kamehameha wave that crashed towards them. "This can't be! You're just a SAIY…" The impact was too much. They couldn't handle it.
Goku and his friends watch as Frieza and his father were disintegrated. "That takes care of him. He won't be back to bother us again. But he should have known better then to come to my home and threaten all of you."
Everyone ran to Goku, who was still Super Saiyan. He still wasn't sure if that girl could be trusted. He sensed a great power sleeping within her that the others probably didn't sense. Gohan hugged his father. "Dad! You're finally home safe and sound. I was so worried about you."
Goku hugged back. He missed his son during the year that he was gone. "Hey son!" He looked up and around at everyone. "Hey Vejita! Long time no see huh?" Vejita didn't say anything. He never had anything to say to Goku anyways. "Hey guys. How were things when I was gone?"
"Well dad, Garlic Jr. Attacked…" So on so fourth
~*~*~
Usagi turned back to Rei and Ami. She was pretty much ignoring Mamoru at all costs now. "You guys, I think I should tell them. Looking at them all happy like that and knowing what will happen if we don't stop daddy from getting that heart disease makes me sad. He'll die soon if I don't stop it from happening."
Ami stood up from kneeling behind the rocks. She looked down at the group of people below them. She looked back up to Usagi. "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive." She looked over to Rei. "Thanks for talking some sense into me Rei. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what you said, and I think I finally know what I have to do in order to save them. It's not about what I think will happen. I have to actually do things and see what happens." She jumped down to the ground.
Rei was a bit puzzled. "I said that? I thought I just said to not give up even if you know it won't work."
Ami put her hand on Rei's shoulder. "Just let her go with it. She's right anyways. You never know what's going to happen until you try something." She looked over at Mamoru, who looked pretty eager to get down to the ground and fight with Goku. "Leave them be. You'll have a chance to fight him later."
~*~*~
Usagi slowly walked over to the group of happy and laughing people. She could over hear some of their conversation. They were talking about their fight on Namek while also talking about what had happened earlier. There were two conversations going on at once, and everyone was totally able to listen and comprehend both. Her father was still powered up to a Super Saiyan, which was why she was a bit reluctant to go to him. She wasn't sure if he would lash out at her or anything. She remembered Roshi telling her about the first time he felt him go Super Saiyan. The power had been so great, that it made him nearly loose control of his emotions. She knew why he was still Super Saiyan. It was quite obvious that it was for her. He didn't trust her. He must have felt her power that her father from the future always felt and told her she had. "Uh…uh…excuse me?" She didn't get too close.
Goku stopped explaining how he got off of Namek and turned around. He looked at Usagi, who was very timid and almost to the point of shaking. "What? You aren't getting the Dragon Balls. Gohan told me about you."
Usagi hadn't expected to get the Dragon Balls that easily. She knew that she would have to do a little explaining before she was OK'd their use. "Well, he didn't tell you everything. You see I…I…I…" Usagi couldn't find the words. She didn't know how to tell them who she was.
"Yes? What about you? What more do I need to know? You snuck into my house and stole one of the Dragon balls. Gohan barely got that one from you. I don't think anything you say is going to change my mind. The Dragon Balls are not a toy."
"You think I don't know that? Look, I have something really important to tell you. Now please, understand that it's going to be very hard for me to explain." She looked around. It seemed as though she had everyone's attention. Well, all except Vejita's. Of course, he never paid attention so she didn't really mind. She took a deep breath. This was it. "Ok. My name is Son Usagi." No one seemed to catch the Son of her name. They probably just figured that there were lots of people with that last name. She looked back to her friends. They supported her from behind. She nodded when Rei waved her hand to continue. 'What am I doing?' She turned her head back. Her father seemed to be getting bored. "Well I guess I have to come right out and say it. I am from the future. Way, way, WAY in the future. Goku, you are already sixty-eight. Umm…I came here to warn you about something that will be taking place in the near future."
Goku stared blankly at the girl. "You want me to believe that? I think you're just trying to get the Dragon Balls." He looked the girl who called herself Usagi, in the eyes. They told him that she was dead serious. "HAHAHAHAHA!"

From what she was witnessing, it was entirely true. "Fine! Have it your way! I'll tell you EVERYTHING! Goku! You're my daddy!"
(Ok, that's it for this part. Don't you just love me? I've been leaving a lot of cliffhangers lately haven't I? Well, I have to make up for chapter two. I didn't leave nearly enough in there. LOL. Anyways, what did you think? Was this chapter good or bad? Please review and tell me. Thanks! ^_~)
