The Past Returns

Part Twelve

Gogeta entered the dining room last that morning to find everyone sitting at the table eating breakfast. The room was silent as all stares turned to him. Judging by the quiet looks on everyone's face, Gogeta knew that everyone knew the secret was out. He turned around and exited the room.

It wasn't long after he made his departure that he felt a hand around his shoulders. He knew it was Goku. "Son, we need to talk."

"There's nothing you can say that will change my mind."

"You've been slacking on your training lately. I think it's time you and I have a training match," Goku said confidently.

"Dad, I don't--"

"Ah, come on. It'll be fun," Goku cut his son off and escorted Gogeta to the training room.

Gogeta stood across his cheerful father as he stretched his body in preparation for the match. "You know, we haven't had a good match together since we started this trip."

"Yeah," Gogeta said dryly. 'How can he be so cheerful after what he did?'

After his warm-up, Goku looked to his son. "Ready?"

"Sure," Gogeta said deadpanned and got in a stance.

They started with Gogeta barely blocking most of Goku's attacks, getting hit several times in the face. He felt blood coming from his nose and his upper lip.

"Come on, Gogeta!" Goku yelled as he threw a punch. "You're slacking. You're starting to fight like Vegeta. That's why he can't ever beat me. It must be something you inherited from him."

Gogeta eyes filled with anger at Goku's words. How dare he? How could Goku say something like that? It angered Gogeta that his father talked to him this way. Gogeta roared as he transformed into a Super Saiyan and charged on Goku.

Goku powered up as well and prepared himself for Gogeta's angry attack. Gogeta threw a punch at Goku, which he blocked. Fists, kicks, and ki blasts were throwing everywhere. They were moving faster than the normal eye. Goku grunted as a punch was thrown in his face and a sharp knee to his stomach. Goku attacked back with a kick to Gogeta's back. The attacks were hard on his body but Goku was taking it like a pro.

"That's it!" Goku shouted. "Come on! Throw your anger at me! Fight me with all you got! Make me pay for keeping this secret from you and while we're at it, attack your mother when we get to Olympus!"

At that, Gogeta stopped in his attacks and pulled back. "Why would I want to hurt mother?"

"You're angry at her aren't you?" Goku asked as he wiped the blood from his nose. "Angry at both of us for keeping this secret." Goku gestured Gogeta to step forward. "Beat us to a bloody pulp. Show us how angry you are."

Now Gogeta knew Goku was up to something. Goku never talked to his son this way before. Gogeta powered down. "What are you trying to say Dad?"

Goku powered down as well. "Vegeta told me all about your conversation this morning. You're angry at your mother, me and Vegeta for keeping this secret. So, what are you going to do about it? Stay angry at us as we reach Olympus which is in less than forty-eight hours and ruin this mission to rescue your mother or accept it and move on? Make your decision quick because I won't let anything jeopardized rescuing Chi-Chi."

Gogeta stared at his father, knowing he had a point. If Gogeta was angry now, then he will be when they reached Olympus, it would jeopardized this whole mission. Could he really risk losing his mother forever over this? "Did you really have to make that Vegeta comment?"

Goku laughed. "I had to get you fighting to get to this conversation. It was the only way. Sorry."

Gogeta waved the apology off. "It would be stupid to risk everything now since we're so close to saving Mom. I still want to fight Apollo, Dad, but I'm confused everything."

"Well, I'm here to talk to. Ask."

"I understood what Vegeta explained to me, but some things don't make sense. Is it true Vegeta has feelings for Mom?"

Goku looked hesitant to speak on the matter but he knew he should tell the truth. There have been enough secrets. He was kept from knowing as a child that he turned into a giant monkey and killed his adoptive grandfather, destroyed Pilaf's castle as well as the 21st tournament grounds, but during his battle with Vegeta on Earth, he learned it was he who did those things. Now it was time for Gogeta to know all the secrets kept from him. "Yes, it's true."

Gogeta didn't look surprise. "I should've known. Bulma knew about Vegeta feelings for my Mom?" he guessed.

"Yes," Goku answered slowly.

"I know she was upset. What did she do?"

"Gogeta…" Goku began.

"Dad," Gogeta spoke firmly. "I need to know everything."

"All right, but you'd want to sit down."

Goku went on to explain to Gogeta about everything that happen with Bulma including his death, which Gogeta took as a surprise and her redemption. Goku included Vegeta's idea to revive him and his relationship with Bulma until her death. Oddly enough, everything was becoming clear, especially Bulma's behavior and why he had never seen her around his house as a kid.

"You may hate Vegeta now, but he is your Dad, too and he's been there for you. He allowed you to see him whenever you wanted. He even took care of you sometimes. Those footage to the video proves that he care for you a lot. You also have another brother. I've seen how you interacted with Vegeta and Trunks. They're like family to you. Why throw it away now that you know the truth?" Goku asked.

Gogeta sighed unsure how to respond. Goku was right. Gogeta did treat Vegeta and Trunks like family. He remembered the times he spent at Capsule Corp. for a weekend and he would train with Vegeta and Trunks. Trunks would take him out to the movies and sit through the kiddie cartoons with him instead of watching the violent movies Trunks wanted to see. Gogeta also remembered all the stories Vegeta would tell him about his Saiyan heritage and how he should never hate his heritage but be proud of who he is. They treated him like family so why turn his back on them now?

"I guess you're right. Good thing I did spend time with them as a kid, huh?"

Goku smiled glad Gogeta's attitude was changing. "Well, you have your mother to thank for that."

Gogeta smiled brightened. "Really?"

"Yes. It was Chi-Chi's idea to let you spend time with Vegeta and Trunks. That way when you got older and knew the truth you would know that we didn't keep you from them. We wanted you to know about your entire heritage," Goku explained.

"I see."

Goku stood from his sitting spot on the floor. "I think I'll leave you alone to think through all this and maybe later on, we can have a real sparring match."

Gogeta smiled and gave his father a thumb up. "Sure, and I'll show you what I plan to do to Apollo."

Goku laughed. "Then this will be a real match. I can't wait!" Goku said cheerfully as he left the room.

****

"So, that's what happened," Iris noted.

She had found Gogeta in the training room meditating when she had decided to spar by herself. She started to leave but Gogeta invited her to stay. Iris began talking to Gogeta and the next thing she knew Gogeta was telling her what had transpired in the past twenty-four hours. It was nice talking to her since she didn't have anything to do with this and would give an objective opinion. Plus, she was great company.

"Hard to believe isn't it?" Gogeta asked.

"It sure is, but everything makes sense now. They had good reasons keeping it from you," Iris told him. "What they did was out of love for you and for your own good. I see why Vegeta was upset with me when I questioned him."

"I wouldn't let him know that you know," Gogeta advised her with a chuckle.

Iris laughed as she pushed of lock of dark hair behind her ear. "I don't want a death sentence."

"I was so angry with Vegeta when I learned the truth, but after thinking about it, I'm beginning to see why they did it. There were times I couldn't see why Dad was so cheerful at times, but Gohan and Goten could. I'm beginning to see that it was Vegeta's blood in me that caused that. It didn't seem that bad once I thought about it. Vegeta has been like a second father to me and Trunks has been like a brother. I have no reason to be upset anymore."

"Are you going to call Vegeta Dad?" Iris asked.

Gogeta was at a lost for words. "Uh, I don't know. I can't say it now. It's still all new to me. We'll see."

"What about that fighting gi your mother made? Are you going to wear it?"

"It would be rude if I didn't, and wearing it means I accept my heritage without regrets," Gogeta said with a smile. "We'll see."

"In the mean time," Iris said standing up. She pushed her long hair back and wrapped it up so it wouldn't get in the way. "How about a sparring match?"

Gogeta smiled as he stood and stretched. "I promised my Dad one later today and I think you'll be good warm up."

Iris laughed. "Warm up? I'll put up a better fight. Watch and you'll see."

****

Chi-Chi stepped out of the bathroom after a nice long shower. She had spent over two hours working out and practicing her martial arts skills. It was something she did often to pass the time on the planet. She knew the people on Olympus could fight and defend her if need be but she wanted to defend herself. Chi-Chi had been on Olympus for three weeks now and it wasn't feeling like home at all. She still felt a stranger here and nothing was triggering her memory. The only time she felt at home was when she was having dreams of Goku.

Goku carried Chi-Chi to a spare bedroom on the Lookout. It was the room where Goku spent as a child when he was training on Kami's Lookout. This was a rough day for both of them. Today, they lost a son and under the stress of the news, Chi-Chi passed out.

Goku decided to take her away from everyone and to a quiet room. He tucked her in bed and stared at her regretfully. The day hadn't turned out how he wanted it. He was only back for twenty-four hours where he thought he would spend at the tournament and his family and it was turning into a nightmare with Majin Buu threatening the life on this planet whom taken the lives of Gohan and Vegeta. He wished he could comfort her but he couldn't. There was no time. He had to train Goten and Trunks so they could defeat Majin Buu. He got up to leave when he heard her voice.

"Gohan, no," Chi-Chi murmured.

Goku went back to Chi-Chi's side. He took one of her hands in his and rubbed it. "Just rest, Chi-Chi."

Her eyes slowly opened. "Goku?"

"Get some sleep, Chi-Chi."

"Gohan's not really gone, is he? Please tell me he's not and that you're mistaken," Chi-Chi begged.

Goku shook his head. "I wish I was but I can't feel his ki."

Chi-Chi began to cry and Goku embraced her. "Our son. He's gone. Gohan."

"I know, but he'll be back. We can revive him with the dragon balls," Goku assured her.

"Are you going to fight this Majin Buu?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I don't plan to. I want to train Goten and Trunks into learning this new technique I learned in the Other World. It will increase their strength to defeat Majin Buu."

Chi-Chi wiped her tears away to look up at Goku. "Train them hard. Make them make Majin Buu pay for killing Gohan."

Goku was surprised at Chi-Chi. At first he thought she was going to protest but he knew she had changed. He remembered earlier that day while the others were training in the locker room, he talked with Goten and his son told him that Chi-Chi trained him and then Gohan. That comment almost made him fall over in shock, but then Goku remembered asking Chi-Chi if he could take Gohan to the Time Chamber to train for the Androids and Cell. She allowed him and told Goku to make Gohan as strong as possible.

"I promise," he guaranteed his wife. He gently pushed her back on the bed and pulled up the covers. "Until then, I want you to get some rest. Close your eyes." Chi-Chi did as he said and Goku smiled. "I'll take care of everything." Chi-Chi nodded slowly and slowly drifted off into a deep sleep. Goku placed a kiss on her forehead and left the room.

Chi-Chi stood there thinking about the dream. "I lost Gohan? My son is dead as well as my husband?"

She heard knocking at her door and yelled out for who it was to come in as she quickly put a robe on. She was surprised to see Apollo enter. Lately, she wasn't sure what to think. Every time she was with Apollo, a memory of Goku would appear. Every time he tried to kiss her, she would back away. Chi-Chi wasn't comfortable with him not with the feelings she had for Goku in the past. She had to tell Apollo the truth.

Apollo reached forward to kiss Chi-Chi and once again she stepped back. "Apollo, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I've been having more dreams about Goku again. More memories keep surfacing and I discovered something. You were wrong. I wasn't brainwashed by him. I fell in love with him."

Apollo looked startled. 'Does she remember?' "What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry," Chi-Chi apologized. "I know how much you love me and rescued me and that I was promised to you, but I fell in love with another man." Apollo looked confused. It wasn't what he thought. Chi-Chi continued. "These visions I had of Goku felt so real that it can't be brainwashing. He was a Saiyan and I loved him. I had his children."

"You actually think that?"

"Yes." Chi-Chi said. "The only problem is that it's the only memories I have--it's just of Goku. Sometimes I have memories of him when we're with our children, but that's it. I can't remember anything else. I can't remember any friends we had. I can't remember the world around us except a home in the mountains."

Apollo inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. 'It must be that bond.' "But he's gone now, Chi-Chi. You can't dwell on the past."

"I don't know what happened to him," Chi-Chi said frustrated. "He's dead because I have a memory being pregnant to our second child and he's not there and then I had another dream where he was back but he wasn't alive and he said our oldest son is dead."

Apollo gripped Chi-Chi's shoulders, losing patience. "That part of your life is gone. It's time to move on to me. It's time we marry."

Chi-Chi eyes widen. "Marry?"

"Chi-Chi, we've been separated for so long. You loved this other man. It's hard for me to accept but I will because I love you."

"Apollo," Chi-Chi tried breaking out of his fierce gripped but couldn't. "Why would you want to marry me, knowing that I loved another man?"

"Because I want to. It's our destiny."

"Destiny can be changed and even though Goku is dead and so is my older son, I still have another child and…" Chi-Chi stopped in her words, suddenly becoming suspicious. "Wait. How come you're taking this so easily? You told me I was brainwashed into loving them. Why aren't you defending your claims? A part of what you say about Saiyans is true but Goku wasn't like evil like them." She raised a doubtful eyebrow at him. "In fact none of what you told me makes any sense and my dreams feel real."

Apollo snarled and his gripped tightened on Chi-Chi's shoulders, digging sharply into her skin. Chi-Chi screamed. "Apollo, what are you doing?"

"Curse your bond!" he snarled.

"What are you talking about?! Let me go!" Chi-Chi ordered. With her arms bound by Apollo, Chi-Chi tried to hit him with her leg but he easily blocked her attacked. He easily turned her around with both arms behind her so roughly that he almost dislocated her left arm from her shoulder. He pinned her roughly on the bed on her stomach with him sitting on top of her. Chi-Chi continued to struggle and yell at him.

"You leave me no choice," Apollo said as he pulled a sharp needle from his pocket and stabbed Chi-Chi's backside. Chi-Chi gasped in pain as the liquid from the needle slowly entered her body. Chi-Chi looked back at Apollo dazed. "Apollo… what did you," she slurred before she passed out.

Apollo pocketed the needle, got off Chi-Chi, picked her up and carried her out of the room. "When you wake up, you'll hate the Saiyans and be my bride."

Apollo was in his study when Medusa entered. "Sire, I've created the perfect solution that would rid Chi-Chi of her memories." Without waiting for Apollo to say anything, Medusa opened up a case in her hands. Inside was a needle. "This will knock Chi-Chi out and paralyze her mind where I will have full control of it. Bring her to my room, where I will implant images in her mind of the evil Saiyans and tell her what you told her. My spell is very powerful but not tested. It's sure to break her bond with that Saiyan and erase her memories with him."

Apollo smirked sinisterly. "Good, but I'll use it as a last resort."

Apollo carried Chi-Chi to Medusa's room. The ugly sorceress saw Apollo entering with Chi-Chi and knew he had used the needle. She watched as he laid Chi-Chi in an oval, clear case. He closed the top over her. "I'll take over now, sire."

"How long will it take?" Apollo asked.

"Until she submits," Medusa explained as she looked over Chi-Chi's unconscious body. "I sense a strong spirit in this one."

Apollo nodded and left the room. Medusa looked over the case Chi-Chi was in. She touched the case and her hands glowed. A dark aura surrounded Chi-Chi's body as if trying to take over her mind and body. Chi-Chi grunted and moved her body as if she was fighting with herself or a being trying to take over her.

"Saiyans are evil," Medusa said.

"Saiyans…are…evil," Chi-Chi muttered.

"Saiyans destroyed your world."

"Saiyans… destroyed…my world." Chi-Chi mumbled.

"Goku is evil."

Chi-Chi grunted and shook her head. "Goku…is…good."

Medusa frowned. "Goku is evil."

Chi-Chi shook her head violently. "No…he's…not."

An evil smirked crossed Medusa's face as she increased her power and the aura around Chi-Chi darkened. "You can't fight it for long. I'll break you yet."

Forty-eight hours later Kiro and Kira walked in the throne room. It was beautifully decorated with streamers, balloons, flowers and candles. From the double doors to the alter, was a long white tarp that the bride was to walk on to meet her groom.

"Can you believe it?" Kiro asked his sister. "Our king is getting married."

Kira laughed. "Yeah. He had to steal a married woman and drugged her to get her to marry him. Pretty pathetic if you ask me." She broke off a white fresh flower from a bouquet of flowers and put it in her hair.

"Have you seen her since Medusa got through with her?" Kiro asked.

"No. You?"

"No, but I talked to Medusa. She had a hard time breaking Chi-Chi's spirit and had to increase the power to the max to get her to submit. She told me that Apollo said after she awakened again, Chi-Chi was very quiet, but happy to be away from the Saiyans and agreed to the upcoming wedding."

"Has he touched her?" Kira asked.

"Nah, Apollo's too honorable if you excused the fact he stole a married woman and is going to wait until after the wedding." Kiro snorted. "Wimp."

Kira laughed. "Tell me about it."

The doors burst open and a soldier ran in. "Kiro, Kira, there's an emergency. You must come to the control room."

"What's the emergency?" Kira asked once she and her brother entered the control room.

A soldier at the main control panel pointed to the large screen in front of him. "The early warning system warned us of a ship 100 miles away. Our satellite picked up images of the ship. I have it on the screen."

The Gemini twins looked at the screen and saw a large, round ship heading for the planet. "Capsule Corp," the twins read the name on the white and black ship. They looked at each other and asked. "What's that?"

"We don't know but it's heading for this planet."

"Send out a ship to blow it up," Kiro ordered.

"Already on it," the solider said and typed in some commands. "I have three out." A visual of outer space came up of the capsule ship and the three ships from Olympus.

Kiro and Kira watched as their ships fired on the capsule ship. The ship maneuvered out of the way and fired back.

The alarms in the Capsule Corp. ship went off wildly. Already in the room were Goku and Trunks. When the alarms went off, Goten, Iris, Vegeta and lastly Gogeta entered. Everyone looked in surprise to see Gogeta was wearing the outfit once worn by Vegito.

Gogeta eyed Vegeta and Trunks and gave them a noticeable smirk which Vegeta and Trunks countered, saying all that was need to be said. Gogeta then got everyone off him and asked Ami what was the trouble.

Ami quickly explained about the ships firing on them. Goku, Gogeta and Vegeta quickly volunteered to go and destroy the ships. They put on protective spaceships and stepped out of the top hatch and easily destroyed the ships. Kiro and Kira watched the three beings fly out and attack their ships with no problem.

"Give me a close up on one of the people in the suits!" Kira ordered. She watched as the screen froze on one person. Once the zoom in came through, Kira gasped at the person she saw. "The Saiyan Prince," she whispered.

Kiro looked at his sister. "From Earth? I thought you killed him."

"I thought I did. Quick, zoom in on the pictures of the other two!" Kira ordered. The soldier did as he was told and soon images of Goku and Gogeta were on the screen. "How could they still be alive?! They were killed!"

"Are you sure or did you just leave them for dead?" Kiro asked.

"They were so badly beaten that we thought they would die!" Kira explained yelling. "This means they've come for Chi-Chi!"

"On the day of King Apollo's wedding," Kiro said matter factly. Then he laughed. "Kind of funny if you ask me."

"I'd like to see how funny you think it is when Apollo is throttling you!" Kira screamed.

Kiro laughed at his sister. "Calm down. You, Helios and Taurus defeated them before and left them for dead. Just make sure they're killed this time."

Kira realized her brother's simple answer. "You're right. We defeated them before. We can do it again."

Kiro nodded at her and then looked at the soldier. "Turn the defenses down and let them come. We'll let them think they have a chance and crush it." He gazed at his sister with a wicked smirk. "Of course you'll have to tell Apollo."

"Me?!" Kira shrieked.

"You're the one who let them survive. Your mistake. You have to tell him."

"Jaken?" Kira offered.

"Forget it," Kiro said walking out the room. "I'll have to warn the warriors that a fight is on the way. I'm sure Helios and Taurus will want a rematch."

****

Once Goku, Vegeta and Gogeta entered the ship again, Ami was able to safely enter the planet without anymore trouble. Iris pointed to a place outside the forest fifty miles away from the palace.

"Whew!" Ami said relieved after she made a smooth, safe landing. "That was close."

"You got lucky," Vegeta said removing his seatbelt. "They know we're here and they're waiting for us. Why else do you think they back off after Kakarot, Gogeta and I defeated their ships?"

"Oh," Ami realized. "Good point."

Ami pressed a yellow button on the panel. "I just place a holographic image projected around the ship so no one will spot our ship." She turned around in the chair. "What's the plan again?"

"We knock them down and get Kakarot's wife back," Vegeta said as if it was no big deal.

Ami looked reluctant to agree to that plan. "Vegeta, I'm not sure that is the best plan."

"Why not?" Trunks argued. "Dad already said they know we're here so there's no reason for a sneak attack."

"I can lead you in," Iris spoke. "Apollo will have all his warriors out ready to fight. I can get you in and we can all split up to find Chi-Chi while Gogeta fight Apollo."

Ami stepped out of her chair with a box in her hand. She opened it in front of everyone revealing small ear pieces. "This is a com link," Ami said as she raised herself on her toes to touch Goku's ear. "I have one for everyone," she said placing one on Goku's ear. "We can all keep in contact with each other when we separate." She quickly placed one on Vegeta's right ear since he was glaring at her and then the others. "All you have to do is press your index and middle finger on your lobe and you're open to talk to anyone."

Afterwards, everyone stepped out of the ship and that was when Trunks noticed Ami was coming out. She was wearing her hover belt over uniform similar to Vegeta's but it was green army camouflage and black boots. She also had laser gun on her hip. "Where do you think you're going and what are you wearing?!"

"With you guys," Ami said. "And I'm wearing camouflage. That way I won't get noticed."

Trunks ran a frustrated hand through his lavender hair. "We had this talk!" Trunks argued. "You don't have any fighting skills! You're not equipped for battle!"

Ami smiled and pulled out a small package. "I have many capsules in here that will aid me and I have you guys. I'm coming no matter what!" Ami yelled.

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Stupid girl."

"You're not going. You're the weakest and not needed. You should stay and guard the ship!" Trunks yelled.

"If you don't let me go, I'll find a way!" Ami yelled back.

"That's enough!" Goku yelled silencing them and causing everyone to look at him in shock for losing his temper. "There's no time for arguing with Chi-Chi's life at stake! I have an idea how we can do this," Goku said in a calmer voice. "Iris will lead us to the palace where we will separate. Vegeta and I will search by ourselves. Iris will take Gogeta to Apollo where he will face him. You three," he said pointing at Trunks, Goten and Ami, "will go together and search for Chi-Chi. Understand?"

"Yes, sir," the three said.

Goku looked to Iris. "All right. Let's go."

Iris nodded and took to the sky leading everyone to Apollo's palace. Gogeta flew alongside with Goten. "Goten," he whispered. "How long have they been dating?" he asked gesturing to Trunks and Ami.

"They haven't," Goten said.

"That explains it."

****

Apollo stood in royal ceremonial armor in colors of red, blue and yellow with a long white cape, red armor boots that met at his knees. He was preparing to leave when he heard knocking at the door. Kira burst into the room without waiting and nearly stumbled over Apollo.

Apollo pushed Kira off him. "What are you…?"

"King Apollo, we have an emergency!" Kira yelled.

Apollo glared at Kira angrily. "This had better be a good emergency to interrupt my wedding!"

"It is otherwise I wouldn't risk my life coming here. The people my brother, Taurus and Helios fought on Earth are here. They've come for Chi-Chi," Kira explained and stepped back seeing Apollo's anger.

"I thought you had taken them out!" Apollo roared.

"We did! At least we thought we did. They must have survived. They landed somewhere and they are headed here," Kira explained.

Apollo fists clench so tightly that blood seeped through his fingers and onto the floor. "This is exactly what I didn't want! What about my warriors that were going to Earth?! I thought they had taken them out!" Apollo punched a pillar in his room.

"They did leave not too long ago," Kira said. "Maybe the Earth people left before that."

"But how did they know Chi-Chi was here?!" Apollo snarled furiously. "No one knew about her unless…" he then glared at Kira and with swift speed grabbed her with a hand around Kira's slim neck. "Iris. I told you to kill her!"

Kira put both hands over Apollo's that were choking her, trying to pull him off. "I…did. We…shot her…ship down," she said in a strained voice.

"Did you check to see her body was dead?" Apollo asked.

Kira realized her mistake. "I…thought she…was dead. She…crashed on…the…planet."

Annoyed, Apollo lifted Kira and threw her into a wall, burying her head in it. "Idiot!" he bellowed.

Kira pulled her head out of the wall and shook it to get the ringing out. "If she survived, I'll personally make her and all the Earth people pay." She rubbed her sore neck and already felt the bruises on it. "Kiro's getting the other warriors. I'll check on him," Kira saluted and rushed out. She took a moment to recover and realized something. "That Vegeta is here as well. Hmm, I think it's time borrow something from Medusa. It may be my last chance. If we don't defeat them, I'm as good as dead."

Gohan smiled as he found the perfect spot. He had purchased a book for his paper at a book store and gathered himself some lunch. He decided to eat in the city park at a bench. With one hand, he read the book and with the other, he put two packages of fries, three boxes of chicken nuggets, a couple burgers in his mouth before settling on some soda to wash it down.

It was bright and warm out. The weather man predicted a sunny day and not a cloud in the sky. So, when a dark shade appeared over his book, Gohan frowned and figured the weather man to be wrong. However, the sky was darker than a cloud blocking the sun and he heard people gasping about the sky so he looked up and gasped.

A large spaceship filled the sky. The outline of the spaceship looked familiar as he remembered seeing it on the news when the aliens attacked his father, brother and Vegeta and kidnapped his mother.

'What are they doing here?' Gohan pulled out his cell phone and dialed out. He heard Videl's voice on the line. "Videl. It's Gohan. Get Pan out of school now and meet me on Master Roshi's island." He listened as Videl answered back. "I don't have time to explain right now. I will. Bye."

Gohan put his phone back in his jacket pocket and looked up in the sky. "This is bad."

To Be Continued

GD: I'm sure you liked this chapter. You won't be through with homework until you graduate high school and then college.

Leigh: Fusion? No. I think we caused enough trouble with that in "Unexpected Love." Besides, it wouldn't be fair to ChiChi. She doesn't love Vegeta and as I stated before Goku wouldn't want to share his wife with anyone.

Candace: Thanks. Glad you like it. ChiChi's one of my favorites, too.

Danichan: Gogeta just needed a little talk with Daddy Goku to understand. Yes, Trunks is a little jealous. Heh. Heh. If ChiChi didn't get it, Apollo will be after you for that comment. He's not a good person when he's angry.

Vashfan: Thanks.

Jen: LOL! I think that punch got through Gogeta. Nope, ChiChi was taken out by Apollo again. Doesn't matter. The cavalry is coming.

Moon Girl: You know now. You'll have to wait until next time to see. Fight time!! Whoo-hoo!! Mmm…donuts? You wouldn't happen to be a fan of the Simpsons are you?

Sadako: I don't go for the GT pairings. I'm not sure Akira Toriyama would've paired them up if he had created the series. When I first saw Marron on DBZ on Roshi's island, I somehow thought Marron and Goten would get together. After all, Goku and Krillin are best friends and it would seem likely their kids would get together just like Grandpa Gohan and Ox King's kids got together.

Chi-Chi: You know now and you're probably mad now, too.

Lady Athena: Break for Vegeta? Hmm, maybe I should kill him off. I think Goku got through Gogeta. Yeah, the next generation doesn't interest me much either. I like the older ones with Goku, Krillin, Yamcha and Bulma as kids in DB. Hmm, ChiChi's lost her memory again. Worst this time so I know you're not happy about that. Yay! Fight time! I'm so excited I'm finally getting ready to post the fights. Lots of fun there!

SSJ Chika: ChiChi lost it all now! More drama! Yay! I guess I'm the only one to like that. Oh, well.

Chuquita: Miss two chapters? No idea. Yep. Gogeta is a lot like Vegeta when he's angry. The fights are gonna be so much fun. Well, to me anyway. Yes! Stop the wedding! Or not! Wouldn't that be better?! Add more drama into the mix.

Gogirl: ChiChi forgot about him now! Heh. Heh. Don't you love it?! And the wedding is approaching as well as the fights! Whoo-hoo!! This is so much fun!! Wouldn't that be ironic if I broke them up in the end?
