~*Chapter 11: And So It Begins*~
Sitting on the edge of his bed, Goten bent over tucking his gi pants leg into his boots and buckling them. Standing up, he tightened the sash around his waist and ran his hand over his shirt before walking towards the door. Pulling it open, he slowly walked down the hall and towards the stairs, a determined look on his face. Heading down the stairs, he looked to see his wife and mother sitting in the living room discussing certain matters he didn't really care to get into.
"Morning Goten, what are you doing up so early" Chi-Chi asked as she noticed her son's presence enter into the room. Standing up, Miyuki walked over to her husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"What are you going to do today?" she asked as she stood beside him. Giving her a small smile, Goten turned and looked at his mother, determination on his face.
"Mom, have you seen dad around here anywhere?" he asked.
"Your father is outside training. Why? Do you need him for something?" Chi- Chi asked. Walking towards the front door, Goten decided to keep to himself as he opened the door. Looking out, he smiled as he saw his father above him, beginning to power up.
"Hey dad, you want to..." he started as his voice trailed off. The sight of his dad's opponent caught his eye and silenced him almost immediately. There before him stood not only his father but the man he hated, the man who took his father away in his eyes, Uub. Standing beside her husband, Miyuki looked out at Goku and Uub, her eyes following every move they made.
"He came by earlier today, ready to train for the upcoming battle, if there is one" she said as she continued to watch the fight. Goten said nothing; his mouth lightly parted showing his clenched teeth. He couldn't believe the sight in front of him, his father and that boy, training together. Nudging him slightly, Miyuki glanced up at her irate husband, able to sense the current mood he was in. "Are you going to join them?" she asked. Goten grunted slightly as he stepped further outside, standing in front of his wife.
"I'd rather not disturb them" he said as he stared straight ahead of himself.
"I'm sure you won't be disturbing them. You'll get a chance to actually hit Uub and not hear any grief from anyone" Miyuki said. Was she a Uub fan, not in the least and the reason was simple. She, more or less, shared the same reason as her husband on the issue concerning her father in law and his pupil. Although she kept her thoughts to herself, she wasn't afraid to voice her opinions to anyone who would ask her or wondered what was on her mind.
"Despite that Miy, they have a so called chemistry up there right now and I wouldn't want to send things off balance, now would I?" Goten asked as he glanced back at his wife through the corner of his eye. He hated sounding like he was angry with her but right now his anger was just started to build up and he knew what he had to do.
"So what are you going to do?" Miyuki asked as she slowly walked towards him. Hearing her footsteps approaching him, Goten quickly turned to face her.
I'm going to head over to Trunks place. I'll train with him. You want to come?" he asked. Nodding her head, Miyuki smiled but then soon frowned as she turned towards the house.
"But what about Kaze and Kiseki? Should we take them along?" she asked. Shaking his head no, Goten quickly scooped his wife up into his arms.
"My mother can take care of them and if I'm there training with Trunks I don't want the kids there. They might be a distraction. I'm sure Trunks will have his boys inside with Cheena" he said.
"What makes you think Cheena isn't training with Trunks?" Miyuki asked. Goten shrugged his shoulders as he floated into the air. Blocking Uub's attacks, Goku smiled as he pulled his hands back.
"Let's see you dodge this...Goten? Hey, you want to join us?" he asked as he looked at his son and daughter in law float up to him. Goten glared at him before turning his attention to Uub.
"Sorry Goku, we're heading over to Trunks and Cheena's" Miyuki said, speaking up on her husband's behalf.
"Ok, have fun" Goku said as he quickly turned his attention back towards his opponent. Goten frowned as he watched his father bring his attention back to Uub and away from him.
"Let's go" he said low as he held onto Miyuki tightly, heading off in the direction of the Brief residence.
~Brief Residence~
"Onna, let's start" Trunks yelled from above as he continuously rotated his arms from front to back and around again. Looking up at her husband, Cheena smiled and nodded.
"Coming" she said as her attention dropped down to her sons who looked up at her with pleading eyes. "Now, you two already heard me. You can not train with your father and me" she said.
"Please mom, Li and I are strong too. We can fight" Alex said as he put his arm out, ready to show what muscle he had. Ruffling her hand through his hair, Cheena smiled.
"I know you are honey, but, your dad and I don't want you or your brother getting hurt. We might have a serious battle on our hands and if we do we would never send you two into it" she said.
"But why?" Li asked with a sign of disappointment in his voice. Bending down in front of him, Cheena smiled.
"Because your dad and I would rather put ourselves in danger then have our two four year old sons out there who would end up getting hurt. I know you're strong; you've been trained since you two could practically start walking by not only your father and I but Vegeta as well. I know what you two can do but for right now, can you just stay down here while your father and I practice?" she asked.
"Ok mom, we will" Li and Alex said together. Standing up, Cheena smiled as she looked at them both.
"Good..." she said as her left eyebrow went up. Turning her body to face the left, she kept her eyes on the boys. Extending her right arm out, slightly angled into the air, Cheena quickly caught a ki blast in the palm of her hand. Li and Alex stood in awe as Cheena smiled at them. "...now can you two excuse me. I have a gift to return to someone" she said as she made a 90° turn towards her husband and chuckled lightly.
"Thought you wouldn't see that" Trunks said as he folded his arms across his chest.
"I didn't but I did sense it. Now what did your mother teach you about throwing things at people?" she asked with a smile on her face, keeping the ki blast firmly in the palm of her hand.
"She never said nothing about onna's who take their time when we need to practice" Trunks replied. Cheena nodded her head as she closed her hand over the ki blast, turning it into nothing but air.
"Well then...let's practice" she said as she took off into the air towards her husband to being their vigorous training session.
~Somewhere in the City~
The hustle and bustle of city life was alive and well there in the heart of the city. People carried on with their daily lives, smiling and enjoying the company of friends and loved ones as they walked down the street content with themselves. Standing in front of a small store, a young girl held onto her mother's hand as she slowly gazed up into the sky.
"Those earrings would look great on me" her mother said as she stared into the window. "Too bad they are far more expensive then what I can afford right now" she said with a longing sigh. Pulling on her mother's hand, the small girl pointed up into the sky.
"Mommy, what is that?" she asked.
"Hm?" the mother said as she looked at her daughter. Turning around, she turned her attention to the sky and looked up. As watched as something, almost like a shooting star, made its way into the earth's atmosphere. Smiling, the mother turned and looked down at her daughter. "It's just a shooting star honey, you should make a wish" she said.
"But mom, why is it coming down here fast?" the little girl said. Looking up once again, the woman's eyes went wide as she saw, in fact, that the so- called shooting star was shooting its way right towards her.
"We have to go!" she yelled as she quickly grabbed her daughter and ran down the street. As the shooting star came into view, it was realized that it wasn't a shooting star but a spaceship.
"What is that?" a man asked as he pointed to the sky. A few others stopped as well, gazing at the sight above them. The man's eyes went wide as he quickly dropped down to the ground. "Get out the way" he yelled as the ship quickly flew over his head. People were blown away by the gust that followed the ship as it sailed through the city. Everyone, who could, watched as the ship crashed in the middle of the street and remained in place. Standing up, the people looked at the massive ship that now blocked anything getting in or out of the city. Horns were honking and people were talking, amazed with the sight before them.
"Is that a ship?" a young woman asked as she and a few others took a few steps towards the machine in front of them.
"I believe it to be but why is it here?" a man asked as he also walked towards the ship. Getting out of their cars, some people left to get a peak at what was catching the attention of everyone around them.
"Do you think there are aliens on there?" a teenager asked as he knocked against the window lightly. Suggestions were quickly thrown out as to what, if anything was inside the ship. The talking soon halted as a part of the ship opened up. Everyone took a step back and waited to see what would emerge out of the ship, some hoping aliens and some hoping nothing at all. As the door lay against the ground, everyone stared in awe at the four people standing in the doorway.
"Wow, look at that" a woman yelled as the four made their way down into the street below. Rojo, Blanca, Azul, and Dorado stood in front of the curious crowd and surveyed the area. As Dorado stepped out, he frowned as the people in front of him as they stared at him and the rest of his companions. He had an outfit similar to the rest except he was dressed gold, from the head down. His hair, eyes, clothes, boots...all gold.
"Seems to be clear" Azul said as he looked around at everyone.
"Yes, I sense nothing but weaklings though, I guess we'll have to search this place for some real strength" Rojo said. Stepping out of the ship and standing behind his henchmen, Castine frowned as he looked around.
"Why must they always stare?" he asked as he folded his arms across his chest, glaring at everyone around him.
"Sir Castine, should we get rid of this crowd?" Blanca asked as she turned towards her leader on this mission. Castine nodded his head as he walked towards her.
"These people are of no concern to us. Let's go" he said as he walked by her and took the lead. Walking towards the crowd, he glared into the eyes of a man with a smile on his face.
"Wow, you look as human as me" the man said as he held a pen and paper in front of Castine's face. "Can you sign this for me, make it out to Oliver" the guy said with a disturbing giggle.
"I do not have time for you so get out of my face" Castine said as he glared at the guy. Oliver frowned as he pushed Castine back.
"Look, just sign this and then I will leave you alone. Stop being such a jerk" he said. Castine smirked as he looked down at his armor.
"I think I won't sign that and you will still leave me alone" he said as he raised his arm and pointed his palm towards Oliver. The man smiled as he saw a white ball form in the palm of Castine's hand.
"Are you going to do a trick or something?" he asked as he looked at Castine. Smiling, Castine dropped his head and smiled.
"Well yes my good man..." he said as he raised his head and opened his eyes. Smirking proudly he fired the blast towards the man's head, blowing it off his shoulders just as quick as it was there. "...I'm made your head disappear and that annoying voice of yours" he said. Panic flew through the crowd as people took off in every direction, afraid for their lives.
"Hey, Sir Castine, can we have some fun before we start searching?" Rojo asked as he watched the people run away. Smiling, Castine folded his arms across his chest.
"Do as you please but don't take too long" he said. Rojo, Blanca, Azul and Dorado smirked evilly as they took off in different directions, ready to destroy anything and anyone in their way.
~Brief Residence~
Knocking on the front door, Goten and Miyuki sighed for the fifth time as no one answered.
"Maybe they aren't home" Miyuki said. Goten was about to respond when he heard a sound inside the house, the sound of a chair scrapping across the floor.
"Someone's in there" he said as he knocked again. Seeing the door open up, Goten and Miyuki looked to see Li standing on a chair smiling at them.
"Hi Uncle Goten. Hi Aunt Miy" he said. Smiling as well, Miyuki picked him up as Goten moved the chair out of the way and walked inside.
"Where are those parents of yours?" he asked as he closed the door behind him.
"Mom and Dad are out back fighting against each other. They said Alex and I couldn't fight. Where is Kiseki?" Li asked as he looked at Miyuki. Smiling, Miyuki looked over at her husband and narrowed her eyes.
"Ask your uncle over there, he's the one who told me to leave them with your grandmother" she said. Li slowly turned and looked at Goten with a disappointed look on his face.
"How come you did that?" he asked.
"Because I didn't want them around when we're fighting. Aren't you and your other half upstairs and away from your parents?" Goten asked. Li shook his head as Miyuki set him down on the floor.
"Alex and I are watching t.v. in the living room. Do you want to see mom and dad?" he asked. Goten and Miyuki nodded their heads as they followed after the young boy towards the kitchen. Opening the door, Goten and Miyuki stepped out to see Trunks and Cheena standing to the side drinking some water. They were completely sweaty; their hair looked almost matted to their heads, while their clothes were practically hanging from their bodies by a thread.
"Is that all you've got?" Trunks asked as he stared at Cheena. Laughing, Cheena set her glass down and looked at him.
"Last I remember, it was you who was lying on this ground like an old man who couldn't get back up" she said. Trunks laughed slightly as he set his glass down as well.
"I'll show you who's an old man, ready to go again?" he asked. Nodding her head, Cheena walked by him.
"Always...Goten? Miy? What brings you two around here?" she asked, noticing them finally.
"I came over here to spar with you two seeing as how dad already fount someone to do his training with" Goten said as he walked towards his sister.
"Who did Goku get?" Trunks asked as he stood beside Cheena. Cheena scoffed a laugh as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Let me take a wild guess, just out the blue, Uub?" she asked. Miyuki and Cheena nodded their heads while Cheena rolled her eyes, not at all pleased.
"Let's not talk about them. I came to fight anyhow and that's what I want to do" Goten said as he looked at Trunks.
"Well you two can go at it for awhile. I'm hot, I'm sweaty and I want a shower immediately" Cheena said as she pulled at the front of her gi.
"Are you sure? We can always gang up on Goten" Trunks said with a smile on his face, leering at his friend.
"Very funny Trunks. We'll see how funny you are when we start fighting" Goten said as he started to stretch. Cheena shook her head as she turned towards her husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sure; I really do need that shower. I'll check on the boys as well once I'm done" she said as she looked at Miyuki. "Are you going inside or staying out here?" she asked.
"Staying out here" Miyuki responded. Cheena nodded her head as she walked through the door and into the kitchen. Pushing through the swinging door, she stepped into the living room. Standing in front of the door, she looked to see both her son's lying in front of the television set.
"What are you two watching?" she asked as she looked at the t.v.
"There isn't anything good on so can Li and I..." Alex said before Cheena cut him off.
"...no you two may not fight with your father and uncle. Keep looking, you might find something you like" she said as she left the room. Walking down the hall, Cheena headed upstairs to the bathroom to take a much-needed shower.
~Son Household~
Kiseki had a frown on her face as she sat in front of the television set. Kicking her feet from side to side, she sighed as she looked over at her grandmother. Chi-Chi smiled proudly as she hummed lightly to Kaze as she rocked her back and forth.
"Grandma, how come I couldn't go with daddy?" she asked. Looking over at her grand daughter, Chi-Chi smiled.
"They went over to your uncle and aunts house to train. They will be right back" she said. Kiseki sighed once more as she rested her elbow on her leg, supporting her head in her hands. Grabbing the remote beside her, she continuously clicked through the channels.
"It's boring and there is nothing to watch on t.v. right now" she said.
"Pick a channel Kiseki and watch it. Watch some cartoons, they are always on" Chi-Chi said as she tickled Kaze and watched as she laughed.
"Yes grandma" Kiseki said as she turned the channel to the news. Her eyes went wide as she stared at the screen. "Grandma! Look!" she yelled. Looking at the screen, Chi-Chi's eyes went wide as she stood up. There on the screen was Castine's men destroying whatever wasn't nailed down to the ground. People ran for their lives and those who ran the wrong way were killed instantly.
"This is horrible! Goku! Goku, come here!" Chi-Chi yelled as loud as she could causing the baby in her arms to cry suddenly. Walking in front outside, Goku and Uub quickly looked at Chi-Chi and Kiseki.
"What's wrong Chi-Chi?" Goku asked as he looked at Kaze crying in her arms. Uub followed their eyes and turned his attention to the t.v, seeing the destruction before him.
"Goku, look" he said as he pointed to the screen. Turning his head, Goku could only watch as a young woman and her daughter were killed right in front of his eyes. Chi-Chi was in shock as she held Kaze close to her body. Everyone stared at the four people responsible as they laughed as if this was all a joke to them. The picture started to shake as the focus then turned to the reporter who was hiding out behind a nearby car.
"You are seeing it live here folks. This group of men and one lady have destroyed innocent people and this city. I am lucky to bring you this coverage but if in the event I do not make it I would just like to say...WHY WAS I GIVEN THIS ASSIGNMENT!! WHAT DID I DO WRONG!!" he yelled into the camera. Just then the screen was covered by a bright light and as it faded, where the reporter once stood was now an empty spot.
"I don't believe this!" Goku said as he clenched his hands into tight fists. Looking up at her grandfather, Kiseki frowned then turned her attention to the screen.
"I can't believe it either grandpa" she said as she stood up, clenching her little hands as well.
"We have to do something" Uub said as he stared at the television set. Narrowing his eyes, Goku stared at the t.v. as the destruction continued.
"We will!" he said, determined as ever to end the lives of those who took so many lives themselves.
~Brief Residence~
Running a brush through her hair, Cheena smiled as she walked down the stairs. Changed into a new gi outfit, she turned her head towards her sons as she heard a loud explosion front the television set.
"What are you boys watching? War movie?" she asked as she walked towards them.
"Mom look, the city is gone" Li and Alex said together as they stood in front of the t.v. Staring at the set as well, Cheena's eyes went wide as she saw cars being blown into absolutely nothing at all.
"What is this!" she yelled as she looked at her sons.
"It's the news and mom, the reporter was blown to bits right in front of the camera" Li said as he looked up at his mother. Cheena's eyes went wide as she glared at the t.v. Her hands were clenched to her side as she shook slightly.
"Boys, go get your father and uncle" she said almost quietly but the twins heard her clearly. Resisting the urge to protest, Li and Alex quickly ran off and into the kitchen. Narrowing her eyes, Cheena continued to watch as men, women and even small children were killed and all because of nothing but sick humor. "I don't believe this" she said as she continued to watch.
"Cheena, what's going on?" Trunks asked as he walked into the room followed by Goten, Miyuki and the boys. Cheena remained quiet as she kept her eyes locked on the screen, as if it was glued in place. Looking at the television, Miyuki placed her hand over her mouth in shock as she too saw the destruction.
"Look..." she said catching the attention of both Goten and Trunks, turning their attention towards the television set. "...who are those people?" she asked. Li and Alex squeezed through Goten and Trunks and sat on the floor in front of them.
"Seems they finally did arrive and are now on a killing spree" Cheena said as she stomped her foot on the floor. Trunks and Goten both growled as they clenched their fists at their waist.
"We have to do something" Goten said as he looked at Trunks.
"We will. We'll head over to Goku's and set up a plan there. I'm sure my father and Gohan and anyone else will be there so we can set up a plan" Trunks said as he looked at Goten. Hearing an explosion, the group listened as a scream was heard and watched as the screen fuzzed out.
"They took out the cameraman, damn them!" Miyuki yelled as she looked at Goten. Picking up her sons, Cheena growled as she looked at everyone else.
"We need to go" she said.
"Right" Trunks, Goten and Miyuki said before Trunks laughed slightly.
"But first, let me take a shower" he said. Li and Alex looked at him and quickly covered their nose.
"You need one" they said. Cheena held back her laughter as she watched her husband walk off towards the stairs. Miyuki laughed then looked at Goten, a frown on her face.
"You need one too" she said as she took a step away from him. Cheena laughed as she looked at Goten.
"He's needed one since he was a kid" she said.
"Shut up Cheena, I'll take one when we get back home. Right now, can we stop thinking about showers and start thinking of this upcoming fight?" Goten asked. Cheena stopped laughing, a look of seriousness on her face. Miyuki stopped laughing as well as she too thought about what needed to be done to end something that had just begun.
~Somewhere in the City~
Laughing, Rojo, Azul, Blanca and Dorado flew back towards Castine with smiles on their faces.
"You should have seen that woman I blasted. She was begging, how pathetic is that?" Rojo said as he landed behind Castine.
"I had a kid do the same to me then the thing started to cry. That damn thing hurt my ears" Blanca said as she held onto her ears. The four of them laughed as they continued to talk about the fun they just had around the city.
"ENOUGH!" Castine yelled stopping the laughing and talking immediately. "We have a job to do and killing these weaklings is not part of it. I have fount some of the people who will soon be apart of me and soon Lord Rubio" he said.
"How did you find them? All we fount were weak humans" Dorado asked. Turning towards him, Castine held out a small communicator device.
"This device will find anyone and everyone who is powerful on this disgusting, worthless planet. I have decided to go for the strong, but yet weak, and then the strongest. I will save the absolute strongest for much later" he said.
"So what do you want us to do, sir?" Azul asked as he stared at the communicator. Tossing the communicator to him, Castine smirked.
"Use this to find my next target, it won't be that hard. One word though, leave the full-blooded saiyan's to me. You may beat them within an inch of their lives but I am the one who truly finishes them off. They should be coming here and when they do you will hold them off until I arrive. Do you understand?" Castine asked.
"Yes sir, Castine sir" Rojo, Azul, Blanca and Dorado said as they bowed their heads. Nodding his head, Castine smiled as he slowly floated into the air.
"Don't disappoint me" he said as he quickly took off until he was out of sight.
"We won't sir" Blanca said as she watched him go. Looking at one another, the four laughed excitedly.
"Let's go see what else we can destroy while we wait for these so called strongest" Dorado said. Nodding their heads, the four took off once again to continue their mass destruction. Flying through the air, Castine had an ear-to-ear grin on his face as she placed his hand into the top of his armor. Pulling out a few sheets of paper, he read them over and laughed.
"Soon, I will have what I came here to get and my first targets are all together on some pathetic island" he said with a smirk on his face. Placing the papers back into his armor he picked up speed as he flew on. "Krillin, 18, Yamcha...I'm coming for you" he said as he flew quicker through the air, eager to reach his first destination.

~*Chapter 11: And So It Begins*~
Sitting on the edge of his bed, Goten bent over tucking his gi pants leg into his boots and buckling them. Standing up, he tightened the sash around his waist and ran his hand over his shirt before walking towards the door. Pulling it open, he slowly walked down the hall and towards the stairs, a determined look on his face. Heading down the stairs, he looked to see his wife and mother sitting in the living room discussing certain matters he didn't really care to get into.
"Morning Goten, what are you doing up so early" Chi-Chi asked as she noticed her son's presence enter into the room. Standing up, Miyuki walked over to her husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Your father is outside training. Why? Do you need him for something?" Chi- Chi asked. Walking towards the front door, Goten decided to keep to himself as he opened the door. Looking out, he smiled as he saw his father above him, beginning to power up.
"Hey dad, you want to..." he started as his voice trailed off. The sight of his dad's opponent caught his eye and silenced him almost immediately. There before him stood not only his father but the man he hated, the man who took his father away in his eyes, Uub. Standing beside her husband, Miyuki looked out at Goku and Uub, her eyes following every move they made.
"He came by earlier today, ready to train for the upcoming battle, if there is one" she said as she continued to watch the fight. Goten said nothing; his mouth lightly parted showing his clenched teeth. He couldn't believe the sight in front of him, his father and that boy, training together. Nudging him slightly, Miyuki glanced up at her irate husband, able to sense the current mood he was in. "Are you going to join them?" she asked. Goten grunted slightly as he stepped further outside, standing in front of his wife.
"I'd rather not disturb them" he said as he stared straight ahead of himself.
"I'm sure you won't be disturbing them. You'll get a chance to actually hit Uub and not hear any grief from anyone" Miyuki said. Was she a Uub fan, not in the least and the reason was simple. She, more or less, shared the same reason as her husband on the issue concerning her father in law and his pupil. Although she kept her thoughts to herself, she wasn't afraid to voice her opinions to anyone who would ask her or wondered what was on her mind.
"Despite that Miy, they have a so called chemistry up there right now and I wouldn't want to send things off balance, now would I?" Goten asked as he glanced back at his wife through the corner of his eye. He hated sounding like he was angry with her but right now his anger was just started to build up and he knew what he had to do.
"So what are you going to do?" Miyuki asked as she slowly walked towards him. Hearing her footsteps approaching him, Goten quickly turned to face her.
I'm going to head over to Trunks place. I'll train with him. You want to come?" he asked. Nodding her head, Miyuki smiled but then soon frowned as she turned towards the house.
"But what about Kaze and Kiseki? Should we take them along?" she asked. Shaking his head no, Goten quickly scooped his wife up into his arms.
"My mother can take care of them and if I'm there training with Trunks I don't want the kids there. They might be a distraction. I'm sure Trunks will have his boys inside with Cheena" he said.
"What makes you think Cheena isn't training with Trunks?" Miyuki asked. Goten shrugged his shoulders as he floated into the air. Blocking Uub's attacks, Goku smiled as he pulled his hands back.
"Let's see you dodge this...Goten? Hey, you want to join us?" he asked as he looked at his son and daughter in law float up to him. Goten glared at him before turning his attention to Uub.
"Sorry Goku, we're heading over to Trunks and Cheena's" Miyuki said, speaking up on her husband's behalf.
"Ok, have fun" Goku said as he quickly turned his attention back towards his opponent. Goten frowned as he watched his father bring his attention back to Uub and away from him.
"Let's go" he said low as he held onto Miyuki tightly, heading off in the direction of the Brief residence.
~Brief Residence~
"Onna, let's start" Trunks yelled from above as he continuously rotated his arms from front to back and around again. Looking up at her husband, Cheena smiled and nodded.
"Coming" she said as her attention dropped down to her sons who looked up at her with pleading eyes. "Now, you two already heard me. You can not train with your father and me" she said.
"Please mom, Li and I are strong too. We can fight" Alex said as he put his arm out, ready to show what muscle he had. Ruffling her hand through his hair, Cheena smiled.
"I know you are honey, but, your dad and I don't want you or your brother getting hurt. We might have a serious battle on our hands and if we do we would never send you two into it" she said.
"But why?" Li asked with a sign of disappointment in his voice. Bending down in front of him, Cheena smiled.
"Because your dad and I would rather put ourselves in danger then have our two four year old sons out there who would end up getting hurt. I know you're strong; you've been trained since you two could practically start walking by not only your father and I but Vegeta as well. I know what you two can do but for right now, can you just stay down here while your father and I practice?" she asked.
"Ok mom, we will" Li and Alex said together. Standing up, Cheena smiled as she looked at them both.
"Good..." she said as her left eyebrow went up. Turning her body to face the left, she kept her eyes on the boys. Extending her right arm out, slightly angled into the air, Cheena quickly caught a ki blast in the palm of her hand. Li and Alex stood in awe as Cheena smiled at them. "...now can you two excuse me. I have a gift to return to someone" she said as she made a 90° turn towards her husband and chuckled lightly.
"Thought you wouldn't see that" Trunks said as he folded his arms across his chest.
"I didn't but I did sense it. Now what did your mother teach you about throwing things at people?" she asked with a smile on her face, keeping the ki blast firmly in the palm of her hand.
"She never said nothing about onna's who take their time when we need to practice" Trunks replied. Cheena nodded her head as she closed her hand over the ki blast, turning it into nothing but air.
"Well then...let's practice" she said as she took off into the air towards her husband to being their vigorous training session.
~Somewhere in the City~
The hustle and bustle of city life was alive and well there in the heart of the city. People carried on with their daily lives, smiling and enjoying the company of friends and loved ones as they walked down the street content with themselves. Standing in front of a small store, a young girl held onto her mother's hand as she slowly gazed up into the sky.
"Those earrings would look great on me" her mother said as she stared into the window. "Too bad they are far more expensive then what I can afford right now" she said with a longing sigh. Pulling on her mother's hand, the small girl pointed up into the sky.
"Mommy, what is that?" she asked.
"Hm?" the mother said as she looked at her daughter. Turning around, she turned her attention to the sky and looked up. As watched as something, almost like a shooting star, made its way into the earth's atmosphere. Smiling, the mother turned and looked down at her daughter. "It's just a shooting star honey, you should make a wish" she said.
"But mom, why is it coming down here fast?" the little girl said. Looking up once again, the woman's eyes went wide as she saw, in fact, that the so- called shooting star was shooting its way right towards her.
"We have to go!" she yelled as she quickly grabbed her daughter and ran down the street. As the shooting star came into view, it was realized that it wasn't a shooting star but a spaceship.
"What is that?" a man asked as he pointed to the sky. A few others stopped as well, gazing at the sight above them. The man's eyes went wide as he quickly dropped down to the ground. "Get out the way" he yelled as the ship quickly flew over his head. People were blown away by the gust that followed the ship as it sailed through the city. Everyone, who could, watched as the ship crashed in the middle of the street and remained in place. Standing up, the people looked at the massive ship that now blocked anything getting in or out of the city. Horns were honking and people were talking, amazed with the sight before them.
"Is that a ship?" a young woman asked as she and a few others took a few steps towards the machine in front of them.
"I believe it to be but why is it here?" a man asked as he also walked towards the ship. Getting out of their cars, some people left to get a peak at what was catching the attention of everyone around them.
"Do you think there are aliens on there?" a teenager asked as he knocked against the window lightly. Suggestions were quickly thrown out as to what, if anything was inside the ship. The talking soon halted as a part of the ship opened up. Everyone took a step back and waited to see what would emerge out of the ship, some hoping aliens and some hoping nothing at all. As the door lay against the ground, everyone stared in awe at the four people standing in the doorway.
"Wow, look at that" a woman yelled as the four made their way down into the street below. Rojo, Blanca, Azul, and Dorado stood in front of the curious crowd and surveyed the area. As Dorado stepped out, he frowned as the people in front of him as they stared at him and the rest of his companions. He had an outfit similar to the rest except he was dressed gold, from the head down. His hair, eyes, clothes, boots...all gold.
"Seems to be clear" Azul said as he looked around at everyone.
"Yes, I sense nothing but weaklings though, I guess we'll have to search this place for some real strength" Rojo said. Stepping out of the ship and standing behind his henchmen, Castine frowned as he looked around.
"Why must they always stare?" he asked as he folded his arms across his chest, glaring at everyone around him.
"Sir Castine, should we get rid of this crowd?" Blanca asked as she turned towards her leader on this mission. Castine nodded his head as he walked towards her.
"These people are of no concern to us. Let's go" he said as he walked by her and took the lead. Walking towards the crowd, he glared into the eyes of a man with a smile on his face.
"Wow, you look as human as me" the man said as he held a pen and paper in front of Castine's face. "Can you sign this for me, make it out to Oliver" the guy said with a disturbing giggle.
"I do not have time for you so get out of my face" Castine said as he glared at the guy. Oliver frowned as he pushed Castine back.
"Look, just sign this and then I will leave you alone. Stop being such a jerk" he said. Castine smirked as he looked down at his armor.
"I think I won't sign that and you will still leave me alone" he said as he raised his arm and pointed his palm towards Oliver. The man smiled as he saw a white ball form in the palm of Castine's hand.
"Are you going to do a trick or something?" he asked as he looked at Castine. Smiling, Castine dropped his head and smiled.
"Well yes my good man..." he said as he raised his head and opened his eyes. Smirking proudly he fired the blast towards the man's head, blowing it off his shoulders just as quick as it was there. "...I'm made your head disappear and that annoying voice of yours" he said. Panic flew through the crowd as people took off in every direction, afraid for their lives.
"Hey, Sir Castine, can we have some fun before we start searching?" Rojo asked as he watched the people run away. Smiling, Castine folded his arms across his chest.
"Do as you please but don't take too long" he said. Rojo, Blanca, Azul and Dorado smirked evilly as they took off in different directions, ready to destroy anything and anyone in their way.
~Brief Residence~
Knocking on the front door, Goten and Miyuki sighed for the fifth time as no one answered.
"Maybe they aren't home" Miyuki said. Goten was about to respond when he heard a sound inside the house, the sound of a chair scrapping across the floor.
"Someone's in there" he said as he knocked again. Seeing the door open up, Goten and Miyuki looked to see Li standing on a chair smiling at them.
"Hi Uncle Goten. Hi Aunt Miy" he said. Smiling as well, Miyuki picked him up as Goten moved the chair out of the way and walked inside.
"Where are those parents of yours?" he asked as he closed the door behind him.
"Mom and Dad are out back fighting against each other. They said Alex and I couldn't fight. Where is Kiseki?" Li asked as he looked at Miyuki. Smiling, Miyuki looked over at her husband and narrowed her eyes.
"Ask your uncle over there, he's the one who told me to leave them with your grandmother" she said. Li slowly turned and looked at Goten with a disappointed look on his face.
"How come you did that?" he asked.
"Because I didn't want them around when we're fighting. Aren't you and your other half upstairs and away from your parents?" Goten asked. Li shook his head as Miyuki set him down on the floor.
"Alex and I are watching t.v. in the living room. Do you want to see mom and dad?" he asked. Goten and Miyuki nodded their heads as they followed after the young boy towards the kitchen. Opening the door, Goten and Miyuki stepped out to see Trunks and Cheena standing to the side drinking some water. They were completely sweaty; their hair looked almost matted to their heads, while their clothes were practically hanging from their bodies by a thread.
"Is that all you've got?" Trunks asked as he stared at Cheena. Laughing, Cheena set her glass down and looked at him.
"Last I remember, it was you who was lying on this ground like an old man who couldn't get back up" she said. Trunks laughed slightly as he set his glass down as well.
"I'll show you who's an old man, ready to go again?" he asked. Nodding her head, Cheena walked by him.
"Always...Goten? Miy? What brings you two around here?" she asked, noticing them finally.
"I came over here to spar with you two seeing as how dad already fount someone to do his training with" Goten said as he walked towards his sister.
"Who did Goku get?" Trunks asked as he stood beside Cheena. Cheena scoffed a laugh as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Let me take a wild guess, just out the blue, Uub?" she asked. Miyuki and Cheena nodded their heads while Cheena rolled her eyes, not at all pleased.
"Let's not talk about them. I came to fight anyhow and that's what I want to do" Goten said as he looked at Trunks.
"Well you two can go at it for awhile. I'm hot, I'm sweaty and I want a shower immediately" Cheena said as she pulled at the front of her gi.
"Are you sure? We can always gang up on Goten" Trunks said with a smile on his face, leering at his friend.
"Very funny Trunks. We'll see how funny you are when we start fighting" Goten said as he started to stretch. Cheena shook her head as she turned towards her husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sure; I really do need that shower. I'll check on the boys as well once I'm done" she said as she looked at Miyuki. "Are you going inside or staying out here?" she asked.
"Staying out here" Miyuki responded. Cheena nodded her head as she walked through the door and into the kitchen. Pushing through the swinging door, she stepped into the living room. Standing in front of the door, she looked to see both her son's lying in front of the television set.
"What are you two watching?" she asked as she looked at the t.v.
"There isn't anything good on so can Li and I..." Alex said before Cheena cut him off.
"...no you two may not fight with your father and uncle. Keep looking, you might find something you like" she said as she left the room. Walking down the hall, Cheena headed upstairs to the bathroom to take a much-needed shower.
~Son Household~
Kiseki had a frown on her face as she sat in front of the television set. Kicking her feet from side to side, she sighed as she looked over at her grandmother. Chi-Chi smiled proudly as she hummed lightly to Kaze as she rocked her back and forth.
"Grandma, how come I couldn't go with daddy?" she asked. Looking over at her grand daughter, Chi-Chi smiled.
"They went over to your uncle and aunts house to train. They will be right back" she said. Kiseki sighed once more as she rested her elbow on her leg, supporting her head in her hands. Grabbing the remote beside her, she continuously clicked through the channels.
"It's boring and there is nothing to watch on t.v. right now" she said.
"Pick a channel Kiseki and watch it. Watch some cartoons, they are always on" Chi-Chi said as she tickled Kaze and watched as she laughed.
"Yes grandma" Kiseki said as she turned the channel to the news. Her eyes went wide as she stared at the screen. "Grandma! Look!" she yelled. Looking at the screen, Chi-Chi's eyes went wide as she stood up. There on the screen was Castine's men destroying whatever wasn't nailed down to the ground. People ran for their lives and those who ran the wrong way were killed instantly.
"This is horrible! Goku! Goku, come here!" Chi-Chi yelled as loud as she could causing the baby in her arms to cry suddenly. Walking in front outside, Goku and Uub quickly looked at Chi-Chi and Kiseki.
"What's wrong Chi-Chi?" Goku asked as he looked at Kaze crying in her arms. Uub followed their eyes and turned his attention to the t.v, seeing the destruction before him.
"Goku, look" he said as he pointed to the screen. Turning his head, Goku could only watch as a young woman and her daughter were killed right in front of his eyes. Chi-Chi was in shock as she held Kaze close to her body. Everyone stared at the four people responsible as they laughed as if this was all a joke to them. The picture started to shake as the focus then turned to the reporter who was hiding out behind a nearby car.
"You are seeing it live here folks. This group of men and one lady have destroyed innocent people and this city. I am lucky to bring you this coverage but if in the event I do not make it I would just like to say...WHY WAS I GIVEN THIS ASSIGNMENT!! WHAT DID I DO WRONG!!" he yelled into the camera. Just then the screen was covered by a bright light and as it faded, where the reporter once stood was now an empty spot.
"I don't believe this!" Goku said as he clenched his hands into tight fists. Looking up at her grandfather, Kiseki frowned then turned her attention to the screen.
"I can't believe it either grandpa" she said as she stood up, clenching her little hands as well.
"We have to do something" Uub said as he stared at the television set. Narrowing his eyes, Goku stared at the t.v. as the destruction continued.
"We will!" he said, determined as ever to end the lives of those who took so many lives themselves.
~Brief Residence~
Running a brush through her hair, Cheena smiled as she walked down the stairs. Changed into a new gi outfit, she turned her head towards her sons as she heard a loud explosion front the television set.
"What are you boys watching? War movie?" she asked as she walked towards them.
"Mom look, the city is gone" Li and Alex said together as they stood in front of the t.v. Staring at the set as well, Cheena's eyes went wide as she saw cars being blown into absolutely nothing at all.
"What is this!" she yelled as she looked at her sons.
"It's the news and mom, the reporter was blown to bits right in front of the camera" Li said as he looked up at his mother. Cheena's eyes went wide as she glared at the t.v. Her hands were clenched to her side as she shook slightly.
"Boys, go get your father and uncle" she said almost quietly but the twins heard her clearly. Resisting the urge to protest, Li and Alex quickly ran off and into the kitchen. Narrowing her eyes, Cheena continued to watch as men, women and even small children were killed and all because of nothing but sick humor. "I don't believe this" she said as she continued to watch.
"Cheena, what's going on?" Trunks asked as he walked into the room followed by Goten, Miyuki and the boys. Cheena remained quiet as she kept her eyes locked on the screen, as if it was glued in place. Looking at the television, Miyuki placed her hand over her mouth in shock as she too saw the destruction.
"Look..." she said catching the attention of both Goten and Trunks, turning their attention towards the television set. "...who are those people?" she asked. Li and Alex squeezed through Goten and Trunks and sat on the floor in front of them.
"Seems they finally did arrive and are now on a killing spree" Cheena said as she stomped her foot on the floor. Trunks and Goten both growled as they clenched their fists at their waist.
"We have to do something" Goten said as he looked at Trunks.
"We will. We'll head over to Goku's and set up a plan there. I'm sure my father and Gohan and anyone else will be there so we can set up a plan" Trunks said as he looked at Goten. Hearing an explosion, the group listened as a scream was heard and watched as the screen fuzzed out.
"They took out the cameraman, damn them!" Miyuki yelled as she looked at Goten. Picking up her sons, Cheena growled as she looked at everyone else.
"We need to go" she said.
"Right" Trunks, Goten and Miyuki said before Trunks laughed slightly.
"But first, let me take a shower" he said. Li and Alex looked at him and quickly covered their nose.
"You need one" they said. Cheena held back her laughter as she watched her husband walk off towards the stairs. Miyuki laughed then looked at Goten, a frown on her face.
"You need one too" she said as she took a step away from him. Cheena laughed as she looked at Goten.
"He's needed one since he was a kid" she said.
"Shut up Cheena, I'll take one when we get back home. Right now, can we stop thinking about showers and start thinking of this upcoming fight?" Goten asked. Cheena stopped laughing, a look of seriousness on her face. Miyuki stopped laughing as well as she too thought about what needed to be done to end something that had just begun.
~Somewhere in the City~
Laughing, Rojo, Azul, Blanca and Dorado flew back towards Castine with smiles on their faces.
"You should have seen that woman I blasted. She was begging, how pathetic is that?" Rojo said as he landed behind Castine.
"I had a kid do the same to me then the thing started to cry. That damn thing hurt my ears" Blanca said as she held onto her ears. The four of them laughed as they continued to talk about the fun they just had around the city.
"ENOUGH!" Castine yelled stopping the laughing and talking immediately. "We have a job to do and killing these weaklings is not part of it. I have fount some of the people who will soon be apart of me and soon Lord Rubio" he said.
"How did you find them? All we fount were weak humans" Dorado asked. Turning towards him, Castine held out a small communicator device.
"This device will find anyone and everyone who is powerful on this disgusting, worthless planet. I have decided to go for the strong, but yet weak, and then the strongest. I will save the absolute strongest for much later" he said.
"So what do you want us to do, sir?" Azul asked as he stared at the communicator. Tossing the communicator to him, Castine smirked.
"Use this to find my next target, it won't be that hard. One word though, leave the full-blooded saiyan's to me. You may beat them within an inch of their lives but I am the one who truly finishes them off. They should be coming here and when they do you will hold them off until I arrive. Do you understand?" Castine asked.
"Yes sir, Castine sir" Rojo, Azul, Blanca and Dorado said as they bowed their heads. Nodding his head, Castine smiled as he slowly floated into the air.
"Don't disappoint me" he said as he quickly took off until he was out of sight.
"We won't sir" Blanca said as she watched him go. Looking at one another, the four laughed excitedly.
"Let's go see what else we can destroy while we wait for these so called strongest" Dorado said. Nodding their heads, the four took off once again to continue their mass destruction. Flying through the air, Castine had an ear-to-ear grin on his face as she placed his hand into the top of his armor. Pulling out a few sheets of paper, he read them over and laughed.
"Soon, I will have what I came here to get and my first targets are all together on some pathetic island" he said with a smirk on his face. Placing the papers back into his armor he picked up speed as he flew on. "Krillin, 18, Yamcha...I'm coming for you" he said as he flew quicker through the air, eager to reach his first destination.
AN3: Well that is it. Hope you enjoyed. I'll have the next chapter out soon. Now be so kind and leave me a review. Please and Thank You. Any feedback is always welcomed ^_^
