MIRAI CLONE: *walks in with as bag of popcorn in his hands*

TIGERLILY: Popcorn again? You really have given up all hope for Gohan, haven't you?

MIRAI CLONE: It's not that I've given up all hope, Lily. It's just that I'm tired of sleeping in the garage.

TIGERLILY: Well, I can't say if your surrender will help any, but we'll see, won't we dear? In the meantime, why don't you scoot over here and share some of that popcorn with your dear children.

MIRAI CLONE: *looks down at Mysha and Caden confused* You brought them with you? I thought Gohan and Nyssah were going to watch them today.

TIGERLILY: Nah, they wanted to be with Mommy, didn't you my little ones? But anyway, take Caden, he's been fussy all morning.

MIRAI CLONE: *picks up Caden* So, Why did Dende go to he-, *looks down at Mysha and Caden* um....H-E-L-L? What is he planning? And what was the favor King Yamma owed him?

TIGERLILY: Well, you'll have to wait for the chapter to start to find out what Dende went down there for, and as for the favor, use your imagination.

MIRAI CLONE: Ok, sounds interesting enough. So how about starting the disclaimer? Everyone seems to be here.

TIGERLILY: What's your hurry? You seem a little eager to start today, what's up?

MIRAI CLONE: Nothing. It's just that I wanna see what's going to happen next, that's all.

TIGERLILY: Mirai, you're so cute sometimes. Ok, I'll do the disclaimer right now. Do I really need to repeat myself, you all should get the drill by now anyway. But for you damn lawyers, I don't own the characters of DBZ. I own my clones.....what am I up to now? Oh yeah, my own mate Mirai Trunks *points to her mate who just sweatdrops but doesn't say anything*, Mystic Gohan, Gambit from X-men Evolution, Neil from the Final Fantasy Movie, and my newest clone, Kou Leifoh, from the Bouncer for the PS2 game! They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Dare

Chapter Twelve: "Family Reunions"

"Videl, please, calm down." Bulma said as Videl glared at the blue haired woman.

"I want to know what the *hell* is going on here! Who the *hell* was that girl?! And what the *hell* is he talking about?!" Videl cried as she pointed at Vegeta, who snorted at her but said nothing.

"I'm sorry, Videl, but Gohan made me promise that I wouldn't say a word." Chichi said as Videl turned to glare at her.

"Gohan? What the hell does *he* have to do with all this?! He knows something, doesn't he?! What the *hell* is he hiding?!" Videl cried furiously. Vegeta smirked at Videl' anger before turning to look at his mate.

"Just tell her already, Onna. The brat's mate is gonna find out eventually anyhow." Vegeta said, crossing his arms as Bulma glared at him.

"Vegeta, just....shut up! Go blow up a mountain or something!" Bulma said, gesturing towards the door impatiently. Vegeta growled at her, but headed towards the door anyway.

"Fine! This is a waste of my time, anyhow!" Vegeta said, then suddenly headed outside, slamming the door behind him, and taking off into the sky.

"Damn that man!" Bulma said in frustration, before turning her attention back to the furious Videl.

"You know, Vegeta has a point Chichi, and I'm not talking about the one on his head. She's gonna find out sooner or later." Bulma said, turning to look at Chichi.

Chichi looked from Bulma, to Videl, then back to Bulma.

"But.....what about my grandchildren?" Chichi whined as Bulma sweatdropped.

"Don't worry about it Chichi. I have a feeling you'll get them anyway." Bulma said, smiling warmly at Chichi.

"Ok, but....do you think *we* should be the ones to tell her? Maybe Gohan should, she's *his* future mate." Chichi said as Videl growled softly at the two women, actually sounding a little like Vegeta.

"I want an explaination, and I want one *now!* I don't care *who* I get it from!" Videl cried furiously.

Bulma and Chichi looked at each other briefly for a moment, before nodding at one another. This was a job for Gohan.



"Are you sure, young one? These three are a handful as it is, are you sure the Earth will be able to handle them?" The red horned demon asked as Dende tapped his booted foot impatiently.

"Look, I got King Yamma's aprroval, didn't I? Just let them out!" Dende said impatiently.

The demon gulped as he nodded, then turned to hurry to the cells to do as he was told. A few moments later, he returned, followed by three large figures.

"Here you are, young Kami. Just as you requested, all three of them. Is there anything else I can help you with today?" The demon asked as Dende smiled and shook his head.

"No, that will be all. Thank you." Dende said, then suddenly disappeared, as well as the three mysterious figures.

"I wonder what that was all about. Oh well." The demon said wot himself, before getting back to his work.



Dende smiled as he appeared back at the lookout, the three figures standing quietly behind him. Suddenly a grunt was heard, and one of the three stepped forward towards Dende, into the light.

"Kami, is it? What do you want with us?" The man asked gruffly.

He was tall, and wore a cape around his shoulders, and wore and amulet around his neck. He had black hair that flamed upwards like a blowtorch and a black goatee. With the exception of the goatee, he looked like an older version of Vegeta.

"Well, there is someone here who wants to kill me. I brought you three back to life to distract him, so to speak." Dende said, a smile on his lips. The second figure stepped forward until he too could be seen fully.

"But what does it have to do with us?" The man asked.

The second man also had wild black hair, but unlike the man before him, his sprung out in several different directions. He wore Saiyan battle armor, and a red cloth across his forehead. He had a scar that ran down his cheek, and had it not been for the scar and the mean look in his eyes, he could have been mistaken for Goku.

"Father, maybe we should hear what the little Namek has to say? He did revive us, didn't he?" The third asked as he too joined the others and stepped away from the shadows. He had hair much like his father's but instead it reached well past the back of his knees. Like his father, he wore Saiyan battle armor.

"Radittz has a point. Very well, speak!" Bardock said gruffly.

Dende frowned at the three Saiyans infront of him. He was a god, by Kami, and he brought them back to this dimension, didn't he? He deserved more respect than that!

"Bardock! Radittz! Enough! I know not how we came to be here, but it appears we have this young Namek to thank for it. And as you two third class bakas have overlooked, he is the Kami of this puny planet. Show some respect!" King Vegeta said sternly, glaring at Bardock and Radittz. The two bowed their heads at their king, and nodded before looking at Dende, and doing the same.

"That's alright. I know you Saiyan's aren't exactly the most friendly of people, but that's not why I brought you here. *That* is why I've brought you here." Dende said as he peeked around the corner, and gestured to Gohan and the others sitting on the floor of the lookout.

"I do not understand, young Kami." King Vegeta said as Dende pointed directly at Gohan.

"That's Gohan. He's the one that wants to kill me." Dende said as Bardock frowned at him.

"Then we'll just kill him and be done with it." Bardock said as Dende shook his head at him.

"You can't. It's not that simple." Dende said as Bardock frowned at him in impatience.

"And why the hell not? We're Saiyan warriors! We can handle that weakling Earthling!" Bardock said as Dende smiled at him.

"You can't for several reasons. One, he's only half Earthling, he's half Saiyan. Two, he's one of the most powerful fighters on this planet, perhaps in the universe. Three, he's a Super Saiyan, level two they call it I believe. And four, he's *your* grandson." Dende said as the three Saiyans before him blinked in surprise.

"He's a Super Saiyan?! Impossible! It's merely a legend!" King Vegeta said.

"*He's* the weakling nephew I kidnapped thirteen years ago?!" Radittz cried in shock.

"He's my grandson?" Bardock asked at Dende nodded.

"Yes. His father, Kakarrot as you call him, was the one who defeated Frieza. That black haired boy sitting next to him is his younger brother, Goten. As you can well see, the resemblance to his father and Bardock is uncanny. The lavandar haired boy talking to Goten is Prince Vegeta's son, Trunks. And the black haired girl sitting on Gohan's lap is from the future. It's a long story, but she's his daughter." Dende said.

"You mean to tell me my son mated with an Earthing? And had these two.....half breeds?! Yet he's the one who defeated the most powerful tyrant in the entire galaxy?!" Bardock cried as Dende nodded.

"My son mated with an Earthling as well? What the hell was he thinking?! At least Kakarrot's half-breed offspring as least *look* Saiyan! I'm gonna kill that damn son of mine! How dare he insult the royal bloodline in such a way! Disgraceful!" King Vegeta roared angrily.

"Dende! There you are! Thought you could escape from *me* huh? Oh....hey....what is Vegeta doing here? And when did Dad get wished back?" A voice suddenly asked from behind Dende.

Dende paled as he turned around slowly and came face to face with Gohan. Goten, Trunks and Pan all stood behind him, looking curiously at the three Saiyan men.



"Dende? What's going on? I thought Dad was dead. If you think wishing him back is gonna save you, you're wrong.....appreciate the gesture....but you're wrong!" Gohan said as Bardock glared at Gohan.

"Boy! What the hell are you talking about? I'm not Kakarrot! I'm his father, Bardock!" Bardock cried as Gohan blinked.

"You're-" Gohan began as he sweatdropped.

"Yes, and I'm sure you remember Radittz. And that's King Vegeta. So tell us, where is the Prince and my damn baka of a son?" Bardock asked.

"Wow! If you're Dad's father, then that makes you my grandpa, huh? Cool!" Trunks said with a grin as King Vegeta glared at the boy.

"Hmph! And you call yourself a Saiyan! You're damn father is a disgrace to his entire race!" King Vegeta said in disgust.

The grin dropped from Trunks' face in a flash, as the lavandar haired young boy glared at the older man, a snarl coming from his lips as his lavandar hair flickered gold.

"No one insults my Tousan!" Trunks said in a quiet growl.

Gohan looked down at Trunks, before quickly grabbing Goten and Pan and flying into the air, to get away from the enraged Trunks. Seconds later, Trunks transformed with a furious roar, and the three Saiyan men could only stare in shock at the amount of power the boy was emitting.

"A......Super.......Saiyan.....unbelievable." Bardock murmered as Gohan smirked down at his grandfather.

"Oh, that's nothing. That's just level one. Goten can do it too. So can I, but I can go up to the next level. This is level two." Gohan said, as he let go of Goten and Pan who floated a few feet away from him, then transformed until he was in the second form. He smirked at the men below him again.

"See?" Gohan said.

"But....you're only a *half-breed!* And third class at that! How is it possible?!" King Vegeta asked as Trunks frowned darkly at the older man.

"It's no big deal. We've been training all our lives." Trunks said.

"Look, if you want to speak with Vegeta, I'll take you to my house. He's there with my Mom and Trunks' mom." Gohan said as he started to land, and dropped out of Super Saiyan the moment his feet touched the floor of the lookout.

"Kakarrot's mate and the Prince's mate, huh? Yes, I *would* like to mean these females." Bardock said.

No one noticed as Dende crept away from the Saiyans and snuck off into the depths of the lookout.
