Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball/Z/GT, but I do own Janden, the Laniins, the other races not including Human, the planet Giendon, a few techniques, and a handful of other things that are my creation alone.

A/n: In here Frieza is not on Namek. But the Ginyu Force is, and Krillin and Goku with defeat them out too much difficulty. This chapter is divided into two parts, just to keep the jump ahead of you and because I'm feeling a little suspenseful. Hehehe.

Chapter Five: Attack of Frieza, King Cold, and Cooler Part One

A month passed. Krillin and Goku went to Namek, found the Dragonballs, defeated the Ginyu Force, and wished everyone back to life. Vegeta re-arrived on Earth to search for the Dragonballs. Hearing that Krillin and Goku had gone to Namek, he met the "onna" Bulma, and decided to live with her instead of going to Namek. Two months later, the pair married, and they had Trunks nine months later than that. Two weeks after Trunks, Goten was born the Son family. Piccolo came back every so often from the place he had wandered off to; other than that, the Z-gang didn't even sense his ki on Earth at all. That didn't worry them.

Krillin and Marron, his current girlfriend, broke up and went their separate ways. Tien and Chiaotzu went to Tibet, where Chiaotzu was the current Dalai Lama. Yamcha went to America to play baseball. Goku and Chichi lived their life as usual, raising their son Goten as they would have Gohan, with a few exceptions. They moved to Capsule Corps to live with Bulma and Vegeta. Master Roshi, Oolong, and Puar stayed on Kame Island, keeping Krillin company.

Kakkhan continued his training and his studies. He was a Super Saiyan Two now, and nine Giendonese years of age. On Earth, he would be seven years of age, and seven years older than his little brother. He had learned a lot of Namekian in addition to Saiyago, the language of the Saiyans. Kakkhan developed his telepathic and emphatic abilities under both Aslib and Piccolo, and was at present trying to see if he could do astral projection. Astral projection is the projection of the mind outside the body, and enables the projector to go places where normally the body would not be able to go. As a result, Kakkhan knew a lot about the people and the Z-gang on Earth than even Piccolo suspected. He knew he had a younger brother, he knew who his parents were, but not their names. He was happy that his family was able to move on in their lives without him.

Kakkhan had once read the mind of one of his teachers, and knew of the triple threat that approached Earth. He also knew that he was going, as expected. So he trained harder than ever, much to Piccolo's, Rerun's, Aslib's, and Janden's approval. His new training also meant that he had his academics in the morning instead of in the afternoon. He was so exhausted after the training that he could barely concentrate on his studies. After a month, Piccolo's halo faded.

Every once in a while, Piccolo disappeared. He always came back, although that wouldn't always be the case. When Kakkhan went back to Earth to battle the Cold family, Piccolo was going with him. The Namekian wasn't going to return.

Kakkhan knew this, and spent some time getting to know the Namekian, more than what he would have done for any other teacher on Giendon. Deep down, Piccolo actually kind of appreciated that. Now they knew each other inside and out and then some.

Then the day arrived. The dangerous and tyrannous Cold family was now in landing range of Earth. It was time for Kakkhan to come to Earth's rescue once again.

GIENDON, NAMEK

KAKKHAN

I opened the seal on my newly created Warphole to Namek. I was going there first to let Piccolo know how his people were doing. Then I planned to IT to Earth and do my business with the Cold family there. Then I was going to meet a future somebody from an alternate timeline and an alternate fate.

I motioned to Piccolo. My seven-foot tall sensei hesitated, then went forward at my mental reassurance. I waved goodbye to an emotional (again) Balannon and jumped into the Warphole.

PICCOLO

The next thing I knew aside from falling into a deep pentagonal tunnel, I was on my home planet Namek. The kid stepped out of the 'Hole after me, and grinned.

He said to me, "Well, Mr. Piccolo, we made it!"

I sighed in relief. I hadn't liked going through that nasty Warphole. I felt better on ground.

Looking around once more, sensing Namekians coming, the kid nodded. He saluted me and put two fingers to his forehead. He closed his eyes, concentrating, then in a blink of an eye, the kid was gone.

I sighed. I hadn't really known how much of an impact that kid had had on my life up until now. I thought of the Saiyan's always-cheerful face and thoughts; one of the thoughts in particular made me smirk to myself. Then I felt someone tug at my cape. I looked down on a little green face.

I smiled briefly at the future Guardian of the Earth.

"Hello Dende."

EARTH

KAKKHAN

I landed on Earth quite near where Kakkarot lived. I made sure I landed in shadows, so no Earthling could freak out and call some hotline saying there were aliens on Earth. Not that there weren't any, of course. I cast my mental senses to see where the Z-senshi were and if their positions posed any threat to me where I stood.

None of them did. I drew a deep breath and began to speak mentally in the minds of all the Z-senshi. I even spoke in the minds of my mother and the aqua-haired woman, my brother and Vegeta's son.

'I know you can hear me. Don't worry, you are not hallucinating. Yes, this is actually happening. Now, don't ask me any questions, but there is a threat approaching Earth. Three threats, actually. They are extremely strong, but if you work together, you can defeat them. If all of you can assemble quietly at Capsule Corps, that will bring you to the spot where you can intercept the Cold family. It will not be long before the Cold family will come, and then you'll have the fight for the Earth on your shoulders again. Thank you for listening. Again, this is not a hallucination, and I am not an enemy. I hope you listen to that last part as well as you listened to the main idea of my message, because all of it is true.'

I sighed again. The telepathy had been a little harder than I had thought, and I was slightly tired. I pushed it aside when I saw Kakkarot come out with Prince Vegeta. I checked to make sure the shadows I had wreathed around me were intact; I didn't want to be seen and made a fuss over longer than I had to. Besides, my Headmistress' warning of a year and a half ago rang in my head.

My Saiyan hearing twitched. I heard Kakkarot saying, "Vegeta, can you tell whether that telepathy was real or not?"

Vegeta glared at him. "Kakkarot, of course that telepathy was real! You should know that as well as any Saiyan!"

Kakkarot scratched the back of his head. "Well, I wasn't a Saiyan, so how would I know?"

Vegeta "humph" and turned away. The midget Krillin glided in from the air, along with the scar-face, the three-eyed man, and the little clown. The old man with a white beard and sunglasses climbed out an airplane followed by the pig and the floating blue cat. The aqua-haired woman came out holding Vegeta's son in her arms. Following her, my mother came out with my little brother. They all greeted each other and started to chat nervously about what was going to happen.

I smiled at the sight of my little brother. I must have transmitted my amusement, because my brother looked up suddenly at my spot. His eyes seemed to burn through the darkness, they were so wondering and alert. Looking away, he looked up at my mother. By some means, he got her attention and pointed in my direction.

In a panic, I flashed to another shadowy spot, still in view of the Z-senshi. When I peeked, I saw that the squirt meister had shifted his finger to point to my new spot. I sighed and remained in my current spot.

My mother looked down at her son, and asked him, "What is it, sweetie? Do you want something?"

Little bro kept pointing, but he did nod his head. I marveled at the control of motion the little tot had already at around four months of age. I guess it must have had something to do with the Saiyan blood he had, for I didn't know. I shook my head, cursing the [cleaning] for erasing my memory for the first time in my life. I reached out with my senses and touched my little brother's mind. There I found a beginning hunger. But apparently he had forgotten his huge Saiyan appetite in favor of something far more interesting: me.

I grinned to myself, then said, 'Hey, little one. Ya hungry?' That set him off. Then Vegeta's son joined in. everyone clapped their hands over their ears and made the women go inside. Now if my brother was going to point, I didn't have to see him do it. So I settled in my shadows and waited.

CHICHI

I hurried down the hall to my baby Goten's room. I had just fed him and was going to check on him. I turned the corner and found my son pointing at the wall where I had come from. His outstretched finger changed direction to point at the window. I looked out of it into the shadows. I thought I saw something in there. A figure, perhaps? Whatever it was, Goten was pointing at it. I shook my head. I knew he didn't want his daddy. Whenever Goten wanted Goku, he just opened and closed his hands with a beseeching look on his face. The expression he had on now was one of wonderment and curiosity. I beamed at him and looked out the window again. (I seem to have Chichi doing that a lot in every one of my fics, hehe.) Everyone who was fighting blasted off into the air. I watched them go with a sudden feeling of a subtle lack of security.

I don't think that the insecurity came from the fighters leaving. Rather, I think it had to do something with the profile in the shadows. I turned around to find Goten pointing in a different direction than before. I thought that whatever he had been pointing at had just left us too, and that was the source of the vulnerability I was feeling. Hit was like when the silhouette was there in the shadows, I was safe. Without it, I was not so safe. Exchanging glances with my son, I saw he kind of felt disturbed too.

Resettling myself, I smiled quickly again at Goten and whispered, "I know, Goten, I feel the same way."

MEANWHILE

The Z-senshi landed in a barren place, devoid of any life. That was the best place for a battle like the one that was going to ensue. Everyone got settled, even Kakkhan. Kakkhan was in a place selected for its nearness and for its being out of sight to the Z-gang.

It wasn't long before everyone sensed three new kis, all dangerously high. Goku frowned, Krillin gulped, Kakkhan in his shadows remained neutral, and Vegeta curled a lip. Vegeta loathed Frieza for enslaving the proud Saiyan race, for blowing up Vegeta-sei, and for the simple reason that the dishonorable bastard had betrayed his parents and killed them.

Tien just blinked, while Chiaotzu stumbled in terror. Master Roshi and Yamcha shook with growing horror. Up at the Lookout, Mr. Popo was O-mouthed, and Kami was trembling also. The wide-eyed and fanged grimace on a normally unshakeable Kami showed just how bad the situation was.

Traveling back down Korin Tower, Korin the Cat was balancing on the rail. His inscrutable face was even more unfathomable than usual. Yajirobe, as usual, was just pigging out like the lazy glut he was.

Journeying back to the present situation, everyone gasped as a huge spaceship landed out of nowhere. An opening, unnoticed until now, formed in the sheer black mass of the spaceship. It delved down into a ramp that revealed an even blacker mass of space inside. Kakkhan saw more in that space than anyone else there, and immediately phased into the middle of the group. He put up a ki shield surrounding the Z-senshi and himself. The fighters looked everywhere for the source, not really noticing the kid in their midst. However, Kakkhan had put up the shield none too soon. As soon as the walkway hit the ground, three enormous ki beams erupted out of the shadows.

The Humans and Goku ducked. Vegeta and Kakkhan did not. The ki beams bounced of Kakkhan's ki shield and shot back at their origin. They didn't manage to kill the Cold family, but the spaceship was blown up. Kakkhan winced at the damage done to him through his ki shield. Vegeta, finally noticing the kid, glared at the latter's face. Kakkhan shook it off as he did his spiky hair. He returned his concentration to the three figures silhouetted in the smoke that always followed after a big explosion. After a while, Vegeta did the same.

The Prince's lip curled again when he caught sight of Frieza. Kakkhan lowered his head and stared at Cooler beneath his eyebrows, lending intensity to his already cold features. Goku chance glanced at the youngest pure blood Saiyan and nearly backed a step or two away. Shivering, he wondered who the kid was and what he was doing here, but turned back to his target: King Cold.

Simultaneously, the trio stepped forward. They strode past Kakkhan's ki shield, and then Kakkhan hardened it so no one encased in it could come out of its protection, nor could anyone from outside enter it.

There was a sudden shimmering of air to the Saiyans' left. Another warrior stalked out of the disturbance. He had shot black spikes encased in a ponytail; one was left to drift freely around his face. He wore a navy jacket and jeans over a black shirt with "CAPSULE CORPS" written across it. he looked slightly familiar, but that wasn't the point. What was the point was that he had a monstrous ki ball ready in his hand.

The stranger threw the ball at King Cold; with that the battle began. An unspoken agreement led to Vegeta and Goku attacking Frieza at the same time. They finished him off easily as Super Saiyans and stood back to watch the others fight. The newcomer's hair turned golden also, and a flare of golden ki radiated around him. With a yell of "banzai!" he launched a series of punches and kicks at King Cold that he couldn't block. A final punch knocked King Cold to the ground; with a ki blast, the stranger finished him off.

Kakkhan's hair shifted from black to gold. Wasting now time, he flew into the air above Cooler and yelled, "Laurenaren!" He brought up his arm and spread his fingers. A blood-red ring formed between them. As soon as the Ring formed, Kakkhan's pupils dilated from the pain it caused him. Ignoring it, he poured more ki into it, making it more powerful and more painful to him.

The newcomer's, Goku's, and Vegeta's heads shot up at Kakkhan's pained triumphant yell as the Ring was cast from his hand at Cooler.
