AN: I hope you like this. Personally I think it's a bit of a filler but it's really necessary for what's to come later. R&R plz.
Thanks for the reviews.
DBZ Chick1: Don't think Gohan has forgotten that his father left him alone for almost 4 years.
Anime-Ronin: Someone will be badly injured, that's for sure.
Other World SagaChapter 05: Meet the family
3,5 years later
It was just another day in the house holding of the Son family. Bardock, Turles and Radditz lived with them in a newly built chamber of the house. Gohan and Goku got along pretty good again and Goten had done a lot of training. Gohan attended college now and was the brains of the family (he's also a Super Saiyan in learning). He usually dropped by at Capsule Corp. to spar with Vegeta and occasionally had made some new equipment. The gravity room could go up to 2000G and had a new attack-defense feature. All the profiles of the Z-Fighters were saved into it and could be uploaded anytime. This meant Vegeta could fight Gohan, Goku, Trunks or even himself whenever he wanted. Goten, Trunks, Turles and Radditz could transform into Super Saiyans now, while Goku and Vegeta had achieved the level beyond the Super Saiyan. When they wished for Bardock's life , they also wished for their tails. Vegeta and Goku had gotten pretty good friends and they even went out for a movie or a drink in Ginger City sometimes. Vegeta was probably a bit less stronger than Goku but Gohan was without a doubt the strongest fighter in the universe. Since Goku had come back from the afterlife, Gohan was allowed to train some more again so he wouldn't be studying all the time. Gohan and Goten were off to school today so Goku went to Capsule Corp. together with his Saiyan family. When they got there Yamcha and Krillin were talking something over with Vegeta. Then the others came in.
"Hi, Krillin, Yamcha, King Vegeta," Turles greeted them.
"What's new guys?" Goku asked.
"I was just wondering if this would interest you?" Yamcha gave a poster.
"A tournament? Are you intending to participate in this?" Radditz asked.
"Of course we will. We won't let some amateur win such a thing," Vegeta said.
"Cool thing, one of our family will surely win, won't we Kakarot?" Bardock said.
"Hah, I doubt it, Bardock," Vegeta replied.
And so they went on for a while and since Bulma wasn't home for the whole day, Vegeta made dinner for everyone. The prince made Goku and Bardock buy some fresh carrots, onions, tomatoes, peas and white beans. Krillin and Yamcha went to look for some tasty steaks, burgers, sausages and chop lets. Radditz and Turles could help Vegeta with the potatoes, some of them prepared to be cooked, others to be fried and then also others to be prepared in a cocktail sauce. The others found the right ingredients and Vegeta made a delicious dinner out of it. White beans in tomato sauce, rasped and carrots and steamed peas. In the afternoon they all looked at the latest dvd with Keanu Reeves, The Matrix: Revolutions. They discussed some more about the tournament and the movie and then came in three kids. One looked very much like Goku with black spiky hair and black coal eyes. His friend had purple hair and wore a green outfit and then there was a girl too with blonde hair. Goten, Trunks and Marron got in followed by Gohan.
"Hi kids, how was school today?" Yamcha asked.
"Gohan has a girlfriend daddy. He was kissing a girl."
"Not true, she's just a friend dad. Besides, it was a kiss on the cheek," Gohan defended himself.
"But sure you would like more than that, wouldn't you Gohan, you sly dog," Krillin said.
Gohan's face went completely red at this comment and he tried to change the subject by asking what the piece of paper on the table was about. Krillin told him about the tournament and the kids were all going to participate. They also informed Piccolo and Tien about it who joined the group in the weekend. Gohan didn't have to study first so he could train with the others at Capsule Corp. He brought a friend with him from college, a girl with long, black hair and ocean blue eyes. She was none other than the daughter of the world's most famous fighter, Mr. Satan. Gohan introduced her to the rest of the group.
"Guys, this is Videl, a friend from college. Videl, these are my father Goku, my little brother Goten, my grandpa Bardock, my uncles Radditz and Turles and my friends. Piccolo, Vegeta, his son Trunks, Yamcha, Tien and Krillin. I told you some of them would look a bit strange but don't worry, you'll get used to it after a while."
There were two gravity rooms so that meant 4 people could spar at the same time. They decided to go in couples except for Vegeta who had the entire week to train in the rooms. The couples were like this: Gohan would go soft on Videl, best friends Goten and Trunks, the brothers Turles and Radditz, humans Tien and Yamcha, old buds Krillin and Goku and finally Piccolo and Bardock. Gohan-Videl and Goten-Trunks went in first so they had enough time afterwards to do their homework. Since Gohan knew Videl was just a human he set the gravity at 10 times that of Earth which would still be very hard. Gohan was right cause Videl had a very hard time to move at first so Gohan suggested to begin with some basic set-ups and push- ups. This kind of training wasn't even worth the effort for Gohan since he was used to at least 100G. They did some basic fighting for about an hour till Videl was tired out. Gohan gave her a senzubean and Videl was fixed up again. They did this for 8 weeks till the beginning of the tournament and Videl made a respectable improvement. She could already handle 30G which is very good considering she's human, female and trained for only 2 months. Gohan had always made sure he didn't lose his advantage on the others by training two times a week in secret with Vegeta. It was amazing how Vegeta had become such a noble person. Gohan had to be the person, except for his son and wife, he cared the most about. These training were held with a gravity of 1500 that one of Earth. Goku was the only one who could also handle that much. The other Saiyans could almost endure 1000G and Piccolo had already trained under 700G. The Humans held their training sessions under a still very impressive 200G. Gohan had the most chance of winning the tournament. Vegeta had given him a combat suit for his 19th birthday. It was an all black stretching outfit with long sleeves but semi- short pants (they came till under his knees). He had matching white gloves and white shoes who had a pointy ending. The suit looked very much like Vegeta's blue sleeveless outfit. It resembled the friendship between the two of them and the respect Gohan had gained from Vegeta.
AN: I'm sorry but this is kind of a filler but I didn't want to let Goku and Gohan argue (not for now). The chapter starts somewhere at the end of February and the beginning of March. This means the tournament begins somewhere around the 7th of May. Gohan's birthday is the 19th of May (since the Cell Games were held the 27the of May). Now I have given a reason why I made the wishing part so important. I wanted the Saiyans to have their tails back (it gives them even more strength). Now a question for the readers. Do you want Goten and Trunks also to have a tail? Say so in the reviews, it can change the story a lot. I have to underline that Vegeta is actually the king of the Saiyans since his father is dead, this means Trunks is a prince. And finally about the sparring couples: I chose them basically by equal strength except for Goku-Krillin and Gohan-Videl but well you have to make a choice right. Please read and review.
