Author Response from the last episode of DBBC:
Kativa-chan - Welcome back Buddy! Bardock and Chile's adventure aren't over yet, as you can see! Hopefully I can write up the FB story, but I'd need a secretary or a LOT of chapters ready from my other fics to give me time.
chibibaka - From what I've seen, baka-chan, you are shaping up to be an outstanding author. I'll always keep rooting for you, on and off the fanfic phase!
Saiyan Vamp - OOC? Veggie-chan? I always thought he'd be a lot more like Trunks as a child, until Freiza corrupted him. Ah well..
Cat-Star4 - ^_^ Wait and see....
chaos_bardock - Good luck on getting your computer to work right. Hope you enjoy this...
Angel-Tinuviel - ^_^ Hi Kyo-obsessed-Vegeta-lover-girl! See ya Tuesday!
Davifflaelan - My stories never really end. See for yourself!
SSJ-Mirai-Trunks - Sorry you thought it was slow. I'm trying! It's too bad you aren't a YGO fan. Its a great seires... in Japanese, though, not that crap 4Kids brings out. I swear, they're as bad as FUNimation when it comes to messing up the money-making shows, it's-
Yugi: Una-san, get back on track please?
Quinn - Guess what? You're mentioned again!
Zhang Zhen - You'll find out where Chile's been next episode.
SilverWolfe3636 - Your review really made me feel more confident. It was an actual/rare constructive critizism. I'll work on improving the battle scenes, and make sure to have plenty of good songs to go along with the emotional jerkings this story will have later on. But as far as commercial breaks go, I'm leaving them in. I like them too much. They're original. Gomenyo.

***********Episode 1***********
** Strange Sayin Boy; Rematch!!! **
"VEGETA!!!" Bulma looked around her many parcels for her husband and son. "TRUNKS!!!!"
Trunks' nose pressed firmly against the glass window of a toy store, his mop of purple hair spread on the window, and his blue eyes connected to a new ultimate video game displayed. "Mama! Can we get 'Monster Fighters 3' before we go!? PLEASE!?!?!"
"Only if you carry Mama's bags for the rest of the time," she said, dropping them into the abnormally-strong child's arms. She wiped her brow from sweat. "Speaking of monster fighters, where's your father?"
"I dunno."
The blue-haired genius and heiress humphed. "Ulrg! Its no help bringing Vegeta along! He always sneaks off somewhere!"
Vegeta, Prince of the Sayins, WAS in fact trying to sneak off. The last thing he wanted to do on a Saturday afternoon was carry his mate's shopping bags, or trying on the clothes she picked out, or following her around all over the mall…
He closed his eyes, back leaning on a wall near the exit. If need be, he'd catch her on the way out. If only Goku had come, they could go to the parking lot and spar.
Since the fight against Buu, he and Goku had become closer as friends. Granted, he still refused to call him by his Earth name, he insulted the goofy man every chance he got, and he never stopped trying to defeat him utterly, there was no real hatred between the two rivals.
If he was honest with himself, Vegeta was relieved events turned out as they had three months before, after Evil Buu died. But he disliked the peace on Earth. Too much relaxing and not enough conflict. Sayins never did well in these conditions, with all of their pent up aggression ready to lash out at-
Vegeta sensed a presence behind him. Instincts flaring, he spun around and caught the person by the wrist.
Bulma yelped in surprise and tried to pry her writs free. "Vegeta! What-"
Slightly angered, he threw her hands away. "Onna![1] How many times must I tell you never to sneak up on me like that!? I can kill you with a mere thought!"
"Its not my fault you space out so easily," Bulma spat, massaging her wrist. "You should at least loosen up at the mall!"
"Certainly! I feel right at home with hundreds of half-crazed humans bustling about!" Vegeta snorted and folded his arms. After so many years together, he thought his mate would understand by now that Sayins do not leave their guard down. It simply wasn't in their nature. "And if you expect me to carry your damned bags, you've got-"
"Trunks is taking care for that for me. In exchange, he gets the newest video game." As she went on for a bit, Vegeta tuned out her voice and thought about his son's love for video games. He hated them for taking Trunks' focus off of training his body, but these primitive devices DID train his mind for strategy and quick response. Well, the boy deserved some time off after his ordeal months before. As long as he didn't waste as much of his time like Kakkarot's oldest son.
"Helloooooo!! Earth to Vegeta!!" Vegeta's eyes came back to focus on his wife. "What?"
"What do you think of my new hat?" In the time Vegeta's mind drifted, Bulma put on a large, yellow hat with feathers and lace. "Well?"
Suppressing a chuckle, Vegeta replied, "I think you've finally gone mad."
Bulma looked hurt. "Why? This is the latest style from Paris!"
Vegeta couldn't help but laugh a bit. "It looks more like that large bird on TV Trunks used to watch."
"Big B- IT DOES NOT!! You're just upset I dragged you down here!"
Vegeta turned around, maintaining a dignified air while laughing so hard. "Honestly, Onna! I cannot take you seriously with your head halfway up Big Bird's hindquarters like that!"
"You're one to talk of fashion! If I didn't buy you clothes, you'd wear that stupid blue gi all the time!"
"If you bought me clothes resembling THAT ridiculous hat, I'd go around naked!"
Bulma scowled and marched away. 'Pity her nose is in the air,' thought Vegeta. 'She'd notice the odd looks she is attracting right now!'
Just then, Bulma walked smack into a man in a trench coat, knocking herself to the floor. Vegeta moved to hurry to her side, when the man bent down and helped her up instead. "I'm very sorry, ma'am," he apologized humbly.
"Oh, no," said Bulma, regaining her balance. "I … It was my fault. I didn't watch where I was going. Did I hurt you?"
"Not at all!" The man gathered up the items dropped, purse and contents, and handed them back to Bulma. "I suppose I shouldn't stand out in the middle of the runway like that. Oh, and here is your … uh …" He paused, looking at the hat in confusion. "Your stuffed animal must have gotten messed up from the fall."
Vegeta bit his tongue, stifling another laugh. He only stopped when Bulma blushed brightly at the boy. "Um, thank you. Its a hat."
"A hat? Well, if you say so, ma'am!"
She nodded and walked away. Vegeta growled to himself about Bulma's flirtatious attitude towards the man (Sayins are so damn territorial), but it quickly disappeared from his mind when he heard the man speak once again. This time, instead of Japanese, he spoke perfect Basic. -A hat? Man, these Earthlings sure have strange customs!- He scratched the back of his head in momentary thought, then walked away.
Naturally, Vegeta followed. 'This day may not turn out to be a waste of time after all,' he thought. 'But what kind of creature is he?'
Using his self-taught ki-sensing techniques, he searched the man's ki. 'He's strong,' he thought with a surge of excitement. 'And his ki is pure, no trace of evil at all. Damn, I had hoped he'd try to provoke me into a fight. I needed the excuse to destroy something.'
They moved through the parking lot, until the boy just stopped in the middle of the street way. "What do you want," he asked without turning.
'Fuck! He can sense ki energy too!' Vegeta folded his arms. "I demand to know your purpose on this planet. I can tell you are no mere Earthling."
The boy chuckled. "Right back at you, stranger. But on what authority are you questioning me? I don't answer to any man."
Vegeta smirked. "My name is Vegeta, Prince of the mighty Sayin race."
The boy paused. A wind blew past as he seemed to consider this. "You… You are Prince Vegeta?" He turned around to face him. "You are! I… I heard rumors of your deeds under Freiza, but-"
"Those days are long gone," Vegeta growled. "That pathetic lizard pales in comparison to the powers I have attained in recent years since his death. Now, since you apparently know of my reputation, you know that I do not tolerate such boring conversations without severe consequences."
A car stopped right behind Vegeta, and the driver honked the horn. "Yo asshole," he yelled from the window. "Move outta the fucking road!!"
Vegeta sighed impatiently. "Excuse me," he said to the boy. He turned around and placed his left foot on the car's bumper. Without warning, he pushed the car "lightly" so that the vehicle skidded backwards into the next street.
The boy scratched his head. "You are most definitely Vegeta-sama," he muttered.
This boy was starting to seriously annoy him. "Do not speak as if you know me," he spat.
"Actually, I do," he said, removing his hat. "I fought you many zurals ago before Vegetasei was destroyed, remember?"
Vegeta took a step back in shock. "What the fuck?!"
"My name is Chile," he said, bowing to his prince. "Glad to see another Sayin alive a strong!"
.
===========================================================
[Commercial Break]
===========================================================
Was this a joke? Bulma had to be playing a joke on him, right? Vegeta had searched the file of every Sayin alive to see if there was any record of departure or mission-in-progress once the planet blew up.
But there was no mistaking that face. Sayin features change very little as time goes on, especially the hair-style and eyes, and this boy's face was clearly that of the Sayin third class who he'd battled in Ancho's Bar! He had grown quite a bit, but the black, hedgehog spikes were the same.
Chile smiled at the royal prince's surprise. "I can't believe you're here either, Sire! On this rock of a planet?"
Vegeta humped. "Circumstances have not been in my favor as of late."
"Fair enough," Chile said with a laugh.
"How did you survive?"
"I escaped on a space pod and landed here ages ago. Since then I've gone to other planets training, perfecting my own techniques. As to my purpose here, I'm searching for the son of my mentor, Captain Bardock. He survived the explosion, too."
"Let me guess… His name is Kakkarot, right?"
Chile blinked. "Y-yes!"
Vegeta grumbled again. "It so fucking figures! Kakkarot is here. I've met him."
Chile's eyes widened substantially. "He IS?!? Where has he been?! Every time I come to Earth, he seems to be non-existent! You'd think he'd have conquered such a feeble planet by now!"
"Boy, do you have a LOT of catching up to do! He man remembers nothing of his original mission. In fact, he not only chooses to act and live as an Earthling, but he has little to no respect for his heritage! He is a complete buffoon! Disgraceful!"
"Where is he? Vegeta-sama, please take me to him!"
"I'd rather not spend my afternoon playing 'Catch Up' with that clown." He smirked. "Instead, I'd prefer to discuss the rematch you owe me."
"I won't be able to concentrate properly unless I complete my mission, Your Highness! If I fight you, I want it to be in full earnest!"
If Vegeta hadn't been so pleased with finally being called by his proper title, he might have provoked the other right then and there. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, have it your way. I'll take you to him on the condition we battle tomorrow."
"Deal."
Suddenly an explosion sounded nearby. They looked at each other and sped down the street to see what was going on. To Vegeta's immense disappointment, it was only a simple computer store robbery. The seven robbers had all sorts of weapons in their arsenal, including bazookas, machine guns, etc. 'Damn, I really need some action before I go insane!'
To Vegeta's mounting displeasure, Mr. Satan emerged from the back of the police line-up. "Alright, you foolish jerks," the afro-stereotypical wrestler announced to the robbers. "You messed with the wrong city! Satan city is protected by none other than the World Champion himself, Mr. Satan!"
"Kami how I hate that man," Vegeta said referring to the con-man.
"Such a blowhard, ne," added Chile. "Even I can tell it was a group of aliens there that day against Cell. So, was that you there too?"
"Yes. And the baka who relinquished the fight to his son was Kakkarot himself." Vegeta thought back to that crucial battle. "I doubt there has been such a waste of Sayin blood as that moron."
"HALT EVIL-DOERS!!"
Vegeta sweat-dropped. "I spoke too soon…"
A familiar teenage boy wearing black leotard, a neon green jacket, sunglasses, white gloves, boots, and bandana, jumped from the nearest rooftop to land in front of Mr. Satan. He was joined by a girl wearing the same, except for a blue jacket. They did quick, Power-Ranger-style, over-the-top poses, ending with the boy pointing at the robbers. "We do not wish to harm you, so drop your weapons and the stolen equipment!"
The girl continued, "These innocent citizens need never fear from fiends like you…"
"When Saiyaman…"
"And Saiyagirl…" [2]
"…WATCH OVER THIS CITY!!!"
The crowd cheered with delight as their heroes gave another valiant pose. Mr. Satan applauded, stepping away graciously to let them handle the situation. Chile's shoulders slumped, his eyes turned to dots, and a speech bubble with ". . . ." appeared. Vegeta slapped his face. "Wait for it," he whispered sarcastically. "It gets better!"
"It's Saiyaman," one of the men shouted to another.
"Good," the second shouted back. "There's a big bounty for his head, and our plan is working." He grinned. "Bring out the secret weapon!"
Three men pulled a large missile launcher. The crowd gasped and screamed dramatically. It was pointed at Saiyaman! "FIRE!!" The rocket launched, and headed for the youth.
Saiyaman took off into the air, and the missile followed. He headed up, up, up, and up, until he was a dot in the clouds to normal eyes. Vegeta and Chile watched clearly as Saiyaman dodged the missile, slowed it with ki energy, grabbed the cylinder part, unscrewed the pointed, and shut it down without a sweat. Meanwhile, with that distraction, Saiyagirl managed to knock all of the robbers unconscious with only two blows.
As Saiyaman floated down with the now harmless metal in tow, and crowd cheered once again. Mr. Satan stepped forward to loudly congratulate the duo, and the police handcuffed and carted away the villains.
Chile studied Saiyaman closely. "He held back," he stated.
"More than you realize," added Vegeta. "That is Kakkarot's oldest son."
"Rest assured, citizens of Japan," announced Saiyaman. "Chief, I hope you put these fiends away for a long, long time." He and his partner took to the air. "Good day to you all!"
Chile automatically went after him, and Vegeta followed. In the clouds, Saiyaman turned around to face them. "Vegeta-san! What're you doing here?!"
"And do you have to fly right after we do," Saiyagirl said angrily. "It makes us look less impressive!"
"THAT was supposed to be impressive? Boy, if you insist on making a fool of yourself to protect these weaklings, at least exercise your powers a bit more! I almost fell asleep on my feet!"
"What do you expect me to do, transform into a Super Sayin? Those bad guys weren't Buu or anything."
"Thank Kami-sama," added Saiyagirl. [3]
Chile floated forward a bit. "You can transform into a Super Sayin, too?"
"TOO?!?" exclaimed four voices.
Trunks had arrived in the air and sped to Chile's side excitedly. "Wow, you're a Sayin too? That's awesome! I thought my dad and Goku-san were the only ones left! Wait'll Goten hears this! Sugoi!"
The male super hero took a defensive stance. "Relax, boy," said Vegeta. "He is not here to take over the world. In fact, he's here to speak with your father."
"Papa," said Trunks to Vegeta. "Mama's looking for you."
"Shit… Alright. Chile, meet me at Capsul Corp. tomorrow at noon. Kakkarot will direct you." With that said, the prince and his son disappeared in their quick decent.
Chile studied the teenager before him. "The Great Saiyaman" too off his sunglasses and bandana, making him look slightly less ridiculous. His eyes had narrowed in equal concentration, studying the pure blood. His partner took off her heargear and revealed herself as a pretty, raven haired girl the same age as her friend, but apparently not Sayin. She stuck out her hand. "Hajimemashite, Chile-san. [4] My name is Videl Satan. That's Son Gohan."
"Doozo yoroshiku, Videl. [4] Are you Gohan-kun's mate?" [5]
Videl turned bright pink. "Oh, um, no, but uh, well I…" She covered her cheeks and smile. "Well, we haven't really talked about it much. I mean, we're both still in high school."
Chile shrugged. "Alright, just trying to be friendly." He stared at Gohan. "Gohan is acting like a head family member is all."
Gohan's eyebrows raised curiously. "How?"
"The way your senses are flared to their greatest extent, and your ki is spread even prepared for any sudden movement on my part. If you had a tail, it'd be curling and uncurling behind you. Your eyes also keep darting toward her, like you want her to move out of your way. That usually means she's your mate." He shook his head. "Probably just worried for her sake, I guess."
Gohan and Videl blinked, lost for words. After a minute, Gohan asked, "What do you want with my father?"
.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hey! This is Goku!
Wow! Another Sayin, and he was a friend of my father's! This is awesome! I can't wait to see how strong he is! Maybe I can spar with him after Vegeta's fight. But where has he been all this time?
Next time on DragonballUF: Ruroni Sayin; [6] Vegeta VS Chile!!
.
[1] Onna - literally means "woman". Vegeta never calls Bulma by her name, or at least rarely does.
[2] Saiyagirl - I don't recall whether or not it was in the anime, but in movie 13, Videl comes as "Saiyaman #2" or "Saiyagirl"
[3] - Kami-sama - While also a character on the show, Kami-sama really means "God".
[4] - "Hajimemashite" and "Doozo yoroshiku" - means "How do you do? Nice to meet you." A typical Japanese greeting when meeting someone for the first time.
[5] - Saying hardly ever refer to a spouse as "husband" or "wife." They normally say "mate."
[6] - "Ruroni" - means "wanderer" or "vagabond"
.

***********Episode 1***********
** Strange Sayin Boy; Rematch!!! **
"VEGETA!!!" Bulma looked around her many parcels for her husband and son. "TRUNKS!!!!"
Trunks' nose pressed firmly against the glass window of a toy store, his mop of purple hair spread on the window, and his blue eyes connected to a new ultimate video game displayed. "Mama! Can we get 'Monster Fighters 3' before we go!? PLEASE!?!?!"
"Only if you carry Mama's bags for the rest of the time," she said, dropping them into the abnormally-strong child's arms. She wiped her brow from sweat. "Speaking of monster fighters, where's your father?"
"I dunno."
The blue-haired genius and heiress humphed. "Ulrg! Its no help bringing Vegeta along! He always sneaks off somewhere!"
Vegeta, Prince of the Sayins, WAS in fact trying to sneak off. The last thing he wanted to do on a Saturday afternoon was carry his mate's shopping bags, or trying on the clothes she picked out, or following her around all over the mall…

"And if you expect me to carry your damned bags, you've got-"

Well, the boy deserved some time off after his ordeal months before. As long as he didn't waste as much of his time like Kakkarot's oldest son.
"Helloooooo!! Earth to Vegeta!!" Vegeta's eyes came back to focus on his wife. "What?"
"What do you think of my new hat?" In the time Vegeta's mind drifted, Bulma put on a large, yellow hat with feathers and lace. "Well?"
Suppressing a chuckle, Vegeta replied, "I think you've finally gone mad."
Bulma looked hurt. "Why? This is the latest style from Paris!"
Vegeta couldn't help but laugh a bit. "It looks more like that large bird on TV Trunks used to watch."
"Big B- IT DOES NOT!! You're just upset I dragged you down here!"
Vegeta turned around, maintaining a dignified air while laughing so hard. "Honestly, Onna! I cannot take you seriously with your head halfway up Big Bird's hindquarters like that!"

Just then, Bulma walked smack into a man in a trench coat, knocking herself to the floor. Vegeta moved to hurry to her side, when the man bent down and helped her up instead. "I'm very sorry, ma'am," he apologized humbly.
"Oh, no," said Bulma, regaining her balance. "I … It was my fault. I didn't watch where I was going. Did I hurt you?"
"Not at all!" The man gathered up the items dropped, purse and contents, and handed them back to Bulma. "I suppose I shouldn't stand out in the middle of the runway like that.

"HALT EVIL-DOERS!!"
Vegeta sweat-dropped. "I spoke too soon…"
A familiar teenage boy wearing black leotard, a neon green jacket, sunglasses, white gloves, boots, and bandana, jumped from the nearest rooftop to land in front of Mr. Satan. He was joined by a girl wearing the same, except for a blue jacket. They did quick, Power-Ranger-style, over-the-top poses, ending with the boy pointing at the robbers. "We do not wish to harm you, so drop your weapons and the stolen equipment!"
The girl continued, "These innocent citizens need never fear from fiends like you…"
"When Saiyaman…"
"And Saiyagirl…" [2]
"…WATCH OVER THIS CITY!!!"
The crowd cheered with delight as their heroes gave another valiant pose. Mr. Satan applauded, stepping away graciously to let them handle the situation. Chile's shoulders slumped, his eyes turned to dots, and a speech bubble with ". . . ." appeared. Vegeta slapped his face. "Wait for it," he whispered sarcastically. "It gets better!"
"It's Saiyaman," one of the men shouted to another.
"Good," the second shouted back. "There's a big bounty for his head, and our plan is working." He grinned. "Bring out the secret weapon!"
Three men pulled a large missile launcher. The crowd gasped and screamed dramatically. It was pointed at Saiyaman! "FIRE!!" The rocket launched, and headed for the youth.
Saiyaman took off into the air, and the missile followed. He headed up, up, up, and up, until he was a dot in the clouds to normal eyes. Vegeta and Chile watched clearly as Saiyaman dodged the missile, slowed it with ki energy, grabbed the cylinder part, unscrewed the pointed, and shut it down without a sweat. Meanwhile, with that distraction, Saiyagirl managed to knock all of the robbers unconscious with only two blows.
As Saiyaman floated down with the now harmless metal in tow, and crowd cheered once again. Mr. Satan stepped forward to loudly congratulate the duo, and the police handcuffed and carted away the villains.
Chile studied Saiyaman closely. "He held back," he stated.
"More than you realize," added Vegeta. "That is Kakkarot's oldest son."
"Rest assured, citizens of Japan," announced Saiyaman. "Chief, I hope you put these fiends away for a long, long time." He and his partner took to the air. "Good day to you all!"
Chile automatically went after him, and Vegeta followed. In the clouds, Saiyaman turned around to face them. "Vegeta-san! What're you doing here?!"
"And do you have to fly right after we do," Saiyagirl said angrily. "It makes us look less impressive!"
"THAT was supposed to be impressive? Boy, if you insist on making a fool of yourself to protect these weaklings, at least exercise your powers a bit more! I almost fell asleep on my feet!"
"What do you expect me to do, transform into a Super Sayin? Those bad guys weren't Buu or anything."
"Thank Kami-sama," added Saiyagirl. [3]
Chile floated forward a bit. "You can transform into a Super Sayin, too?"
"TOO?!?" exclaimed four voices.
Trunks had arrived in the air and sped to Chile's side excitedly. "Wow, you're a Sayin too? That's awesome! I thought my dad and Goku-san were the only ones left! Wait'll Goten hears this! Sugoi!"
The male super hero took a defensive stance. "Relax, boy," said Vegeta. "He is not here to take over the world. In fact, he's here to speak with your father."
"Papa," said Trunks to Vegeta. "Mama's looking for you."
"Shit… Alright. Chile, meet me at Capsul Corp. tomorrow at noon. Kakkarot will direct you." With that said, the prince and his son disappeared in their quick decent.
Chile studied the teenager before him. "The Great Saiyaman" too off his sunglasses and bandana, making him look slightly less ridiculous. His eyes had narrowed in equal concentration, studying the pure blood. His partner took off her heargear and revealed herself as a pretty, raven haired girl the same age as her friend, but apparently not Sayin. She stuck out her hand. "Hajimemashite, Chile-san. [4] My name is Videl Satan. That's Son Gohan."
"Doozo yoroshiku, Videl. [4] Are you Gohan-kun's mate?" [5]
Videl turned bright pink. "Oh, um, no, but uh, well I…" She covered her cheeks and smile. "Well, we haven't really talked about it much. I mean, we're both still in high school."
Chile shrugged. "Alright, just trying to be friendly." He stared at Gohan. "Gohan is acting like a head family member is all."
Gohan's eyebrows raised curiously. "How?"
"The way your senses are flared to their greatest extent, and your ki is spread even prepared for any sudden movement on my part. If you had a tail, it'd be curling and uncurling behind you. Your eyes also keep darting toward her, like you want her to move out of your way. That usually means she's your mate." He shook his head. "Probably just worried for her sake, I guess."
Gohan and Videl blinked, lost for words. After a minute, Gohan asked, "What do you want with my father?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hey! This is Goku!
Wow! Another Sayin, and he was a friend of my father's! This is awesome! I can't wait to see how strong he is! Maybe I can spar with him after Vegeta's fight. But where has he been all this time?
Next time on DragonballUF: Ruroni Sayin; [6] Vegeta VS Chile!!
.
[1] Onna - literally means "woman". Vegeta never calls Bulma by her name, or at least rarely does.
[2] Saiyagirl - I don't recall whether or not it was in the anime, but in movie 13, Videl comes as "Saiyaman #2" or "Saiyagirl"
[3] - Kami-sama - While also a character on the show, Kami-sama really means "God".
[4] - "Hajimemashite" and "Doozo yoroshiku" - means "How do you do? Nice to meet you." A typical Japanese greeting when meeting someone for the first time.
[5] - Saying hardly ever refer to a spouse as "husband" or "wife." They normally say "mate."
[6] - "Ruroni" - means "wanderer" or "vagabond"
