Looks like FF.N is back to normal. I was really peeved off when I uploaded chapter 5 to find that the ending was cut off…anyway, least it's back to normal now…

Thanks for the reviews.

Chico: GT really liked to over do it with the suspense…well the whole of Dragonball did. "And our heroes have the light bulb! Now tune in over the next 5 episodes to see if they can screw it in!" Then again I'm just as bad with the cliffies! & Chi, best not insult Trunks around Eli. He takes after his dad…heh…

Rejhan: glad you liked. It always annoyed me that the humans got completely pushed out. You'd think they would get a little bit more involved since it's their planet…meh; I'm going to just have to find a way to throw them in more often.

Trugeta: thanks. I thought the chapter on C.C's atmosphere was almost pointless there since I didn't put in much detail. But as long as some people got the creepiness of it all then my job is done. As for Zara…I'm still not telling.

Now for the next chapter!

Chapter 6: discovery

The squid shaped space ship that had been made by Bulma six years ago now hurtled towards the planet at an incredible speed. It was glowing red as the air around it heated and as it broke through the first few layers of earth's atmosphere it impacted with a certain tiled surface.

The ship had hit the lookout and after much bouncing and skidding, it finally came to a halt. A few moments later and all three passengers got out.

"Geese Trunks, nice landing…" Pan muttered as she jumped to the ground. Trunks followed her with a small robot clutching his shoulder.

"I said I was sorry Pan. Landing just happens to be harder then it looks and I still haven't had much practise." Trunks explained, rubbing a bruise that had appeared on his head and was already disappearing.

"Oh yea, seven times and an emergency landing isn't enough to figure it out." Pan said sarcastically just as Goku dropped down next to her holding a bag.

"Would you two stop arguing? We're home! And before it blew as well!" he said. The other two nodded and agreed then noticed Dende and Mr Popo hurrying out of the throne room to meet them.

"Goku? Trunks? Pan? You're back?" Dende asked as he saw them.

"Yea, it's us! And we brought gifts!" Goku said with a grin as he opened the bag to reveal the seven dragonballs.

Dende and Mr Popo's eyes lit up at the sight of them and Dende stepped forward.

"Good work Goku. I'll handle it from here. Can't let those go into the wrong hands now can we." He said and took the bag. Pan stepped forward with a confused look on her face.

"Wait, Grandpa still needs to get wished back." She said making Popo and Dende exchange a glance.

"Well we have to wait to ensure the planet doesn't explode first," Mr Popo explained, "besides, we don't know if you'll be able to bring them back again in time if we do use them."

Pan frowned at this.

"But he has to use them!" she insisted but Goku stopped her.

"It's ok Pan. If it keeps the earth safe then I'll stay in chibi form. Besides, it's not so bad." He assured her. Pan frowned.

"Are you crazy? You keep being mistaken for a kid! And kids can't do anything! And now I shall forever be known as the freak who is older then her own grandpa!" she yelled in a huff but allowed Mr Popo to take the dragonballs inside.

Pan started to ignore her grandfather out of annoyance and Goku decided to leave her alone so he turned to Trunks.

"So what are you going to do now that we're back?" he asked. Trunks shrugged.

"Maybe find Goten and hangout until mum tracks me down and forces me back to the office." He said.

"What? You mean you're not going to find me as well?" a new voice asked and the two men looked round to see Zara leaning against the ship. Goku said a quick 'hi' and Trunks ran over and gave her a hug whilst Dende went unnoticed wearing a scowl.

Trunks stepped away from his old friend and stared at her.

"What are you doing way up here?" he asked.

"I was at your parents house and sensed you. And since your parents want to see you I thought I'd come and drag you there." Zara said.

Didn't he think that I could have handled that? A voice asked in Zara's head the same time Trunks admitted that he was bound to be dragged to his parents eventually and Pan decided to start telling Dende and Zara about 'her' adventures in space.

How would I know? It's not like I'm going to go prying in his mind. He probably just thought I was more suitable to get him down there. This shut the Namek up as she would have been less odd then he would have been 'dragging' Trunks to his parents. So he stayed quite.

Pan was pointing to the little robot as she talked. It had a round body with retractable arms and legs and a single infrared 'eye' that was raised at the top of its body.

"And this is Gil. We met him on a space station when we were re-fuelling. He had been up for sale and Trunks had dropped the dragon radar in front of him. He ate it and integrated it into his systems so we had to trade something for him just to get the radar back. But he's kinda it now." She explained. Zara nodded and stared at the machine with an intense stare that made it cringe.

"Intriguing." She muttered. Trunks was staring at Gil as it shuddered.

"Hey, it's all right. This is Zara. I told you about her." He told Gil. Zara gained a crafty smirk.

"Oh? You told him about me did you? What did you say?" she asked him. Trunks went slightly red.

"Um…didn't you say my folks wanted to see me? We better get over there right away!" he said and quickly walked/jogged to the ship. Zara smiled after him then glanced at Goku.

"I'll tell Vegeta hi for you." She said then went into the ship with Trunks, offering to pilot after the 'superb' job he did when landing. A few minutes later Goku and Pan left for Chichi's house.

The flight to Capsule Corp was a dull one. Zara piloted the ship to C.C but Trunks almost felt like he was getting the cold shoulder from her. She had acted perfectly normal on the lookout but now she was deathly silent. This time Trunks couldn't miss the signs pointing to something being wrong.

When they landed outside the hanger Trunks stopped her to ask about it.

"What's going on?" he asked, getting straight to the point.

"I don't know what you mean." She replied and started walking towards the house. He grabbed her arm and turned her round.

"You're acting…differently. What's wrong?" he asked again but she just stared at his hand in a way that he had only seen her use on things she considered breaking. He was about to press further when a third person joined them.

"Trunks! Get over here!" the voice of Vegeta yelled at them and Trunks looked towards the house to see Vegeta standing in his classic pose, his black flame like hair being easily identifiable even from a distance.

"Father?" Trunks said and let go of Zara. Vegeta nodded in a typical greeting then turned to walk inside. Zara frowned at Trunks and went in after Vegeta and Trunks was left to follow.

Trunks was led to the living room where his mother was waiting for them. She had been working on her laptop when they came in. the room itself had been almost restored. The window had been fixed but if Trunks had thought to look up then he would have seen several planks of wood and some plaster over the hole in the ceiling.

Bulma looked up as the three came in and frowned as she got up. Trunks smiled and moved to greet his mother but she quickly got out of the way.

"Mum? Is everything all right?" he asked. Bulma didn't answer him and instead looked to Vegeta.

"Hurry up with him. I can't stand to look at him." She said then left in search of her daughter.

Trunks stared in confusion then turned to the other two.

"What was that?" he asked them. Zara had sat herself down in one of the armchairs and wasn't looking at him as she answered.

"That is a sane person's reaction to a filthy saiyan." She said calmly. Trunks stared at her in shock but was even more shocked when Vegeta didn't do anything.

"Just what is going on here?" he asked. Vegeta laughed.

"Do you remember when you were in the hospital after rescuing that little boy?" he asked. Trunks was surprised by this but could remember it perfectly.

Trunks, Goku and Pan had rescued a small boy when they were looking for the dragonballs. The dragonball and the boy had both been on a ship that was being pulled in by a star. Luckily Pan had found the boy and had taken him back to their ship with the others then had headed towards the nearest planet where the boy could be treated.

The planet had been just like earth only far more advanced in technology. The place was beautiful and the three saiyans ended up spending most of their time outside because of Goku's fear of needles.

The only problem was that in the great out doors on that planet there was no edible food around for them to eat but Goku refused to go to the hospital's cafeteria. It took a doctor to tell him there would be no risk of getting a shot in there to convince the saiyan. All three had eaten hungrily in there and Goku ate the most. By the time Trunks and Pan were done Goku was still eating and asking for more.

The doctor had watched all three with an interest and then when Trunks and Pan had finally finished he turned to Trunks and asked if he wanted to take a tour while Goku was finishing up. Trunks had eagerly accepted and they had left.

The first place they visited was a room with electron microscopes. Trunks had been fascinated by them and started examining them right away.

Trunks turned to ask the doctor a question but the doctor pinned him against the microscope he had been looking at.

"I have you now saiyan!" the doctor said in a deep voice that wasn't his. Trunks immediately knew what this meant.

"Bebi? You're not dead?" Trunks asked as the doctor started to choke him.

"Far from it!" Bebi had said then had launched into an explanation.

"I had managed to enter Dr Myuu before he escaped and then I killed him. Then I planted a dragonball he had been hiding on a ship after killing its crew and getting it into that star's gravity. And now saiyan, I'm going to control your body and take out your friends." Bebi had announced.

"Oh no you're not!" Pan's voice greeted their ears and Trunks smirked. The next thing Bebi knew, Goku had blasted him away from Trunks.

"We knew you were here the whole time. It's next to impossible to suppress your ki when you attack someone." Goku told him and Bebi cursed. They had sensed him when he swapped from the boy to the doctor.

Bebi glared at the three saiyans then jumped up, out of the doctor and attacked Goku, just to be hit back onto the floor. Bebi then growled and did an energy attack that hit all three saiyans and sent them flying to different parts of the room as well as cutting Trunks's arm. Bebi had then turned into liquid and jumped into Trunks's cut.

The other two were trying to work out what had happened when Trunks fired a blast at Goku. The other two immediately realized where Bebi had jumped to and Goku had prepared a blast.

"No grandpa! You'll hurt Trunks!" Pan yelled and Goku hesitated just long enough for Bebi to get up close to fire a blast at Goku. Goku stared at the blast as it got bigger but just before it was fired, Trunks had turned and the blast had been thrown into the wall.

Bebi was shocked.

"How can you still have some control over your body?" Bebi yelled. Trunks's face turned into a smirk that could rival his father's.

"You figure it out. Now get OUT!" Trunks screamed as he began to power up. A second later he was transformed into a super saiyan and he was about to transform again when Bebi was thrown out.

Shortly after that they had lost sight of Bebi. He had escaped to a spaceport and had jumped into one of thousands of people.

"Of course I remember that. It's not everyday that you go through something like that. But how do you know about it?" Trunks asked his father. Vegeta laughed and turned away from him.

"I was there." He said in Bebi's deep voice and slowly his hair turned white.

Trunks's eyes widened when he heard the voice. He couldn't believe that Bebi had come to earth. His mind began to race at light speed to work out a plan of action and ended up doing the first thing he could think of.

"Zara, get out of here! That's not my dad!" he yelled at his friend, not taking his eyes of off his father the whole time.

"Don't tell me what to do." Zara told him in a calm voice. Trunks's face contorted in confusion and he looked over his shoulder to find that he couldn't move. He could just see Zara sitting casually with her left index and middle finger up against her temples and a mild look of concentration on his face. She was telekinetically forcing him to stand still. But why?

"I guess you're tiny saiyan brain is trying to figure all of this out. It's quite simple really. You see when I leave a person I leave an egg inside them. And as they're still exhausted from me taking all of their energy and controlling them then these eggs easily control them. But the problem with you is that I've waited so long to make your egg control you, you've been able to regain your energy and should now be able to fight off you're egg like you did with me. So I've gotten a little help." Bebi informed Trunks and then looked to Zara.

Trunks couldn't believe it. Why hadn't he noticed before? Everyone had been acting weird since he had arrived at C.C and yet he was too happy to be home to realise. But he didn't have enough time to dwell on his mistakes. Something was happening.

Bebi had given an order and now Zara was right in front of him, smirking.

"This might sting a bit." She warned in a scarily sweet voice and the next thing Trunks knew, a blinding pain overcame him in the front of his head. He didn't even notice Gil leave his shoulder for the first time that day just to be thrown aside because of it.

Trunks sank to his knees, crying out in pain and felt something else happening. A second pain had appeared and he could feel his control slipping.

The screams continued and then they just stopped. Panting filled the air and Trunks could finally move again. A friendly hand helped him up and he could see Bebi Vegeta in the corner smirking.

"Lets pay the others a visit, shall we?" he said.

Pan and Goku touched down on MT Poataz. They grinned at each other and raced to the house that they hadn't been able to see for months, Chichi's house.

Inside Chichi and Videl were working in the kitchen when the door burst open.

"I'm home!" Pan yelled and ran inside, closely followed by Goku. Pan ran to her mother and hugged her from behind.

"You won't believe everything that happened! It was incredible!" Pan said then realised that her mother wasn't listening. Pan backed away and noted that neither woman seemed to be pleased that they were there. It was like they hadn't even noticed them…

"Hey Chichi, that smells great!" Goku said. After seeing what had happened to his granddaughter he decided to try. Again there was no response and Chichi just pushed past him to put a tray of food on the table.

The two saiyans looked at each other and shared a confused glance before they both sat at the table. Goku sighed and picked up something from the tray. Instantly a spatula came flying down and smacked it out of his hand. Goku stared at Chichi.

"That's not for you." She said calmly and walked away just as Videl put down a large bowl of food.

Goku looked dumbfounded but it soon past. He stared at the large spread that was already on the table. The relatively large table was almost covered in plates and bowls of food.

"But can't we have a little? There's tons of food here!" Goku exclaimed and eyed a particularly large plate that had his favourites stacked high on it.

"Sorry, but all of it's for us." A new voice said from the living room. Goku and Pan turned round to meet the hard stares of Gohan and Goten.

"Daddy!" Pan exclaimed and jumped down from her chair so that she could run over to her father and give him a hug. Gohan didn't return it and instead frowned down at her. Pan realised that her father was being very stiff and looked up at him.

"Dad?" she asked unsurely and in answer Gohan slapped his daughter through a wall.

Goku gasped and glared at his son.

"Why did you do that?" he yelled, knowing Pan was ok as he could sense her getting up.

Both brothers stared at their father before laughing at him and powering up. This surprised Goku but not as much as it did when two blasts sailed towards him and blew him through the wall.

Goku hit the ground hard and when he looked up his sons were already towering over him.

"Who are you?" he asked as he made his way to his feet. Both his sons looked at one another then put on a hurt act.

"Geese dad, it's me, Gohan." Gohan said.

"Yea, and I'm your other son, Goten. Or have you been away too long to remember that?" Goten asked. Goku frowned.

"I would never forget my sons and they would never attack someone unprovoked. Now who are you really?" Goku asked but this time just got laughed at.

"Daddy! Why did you do that?" Pan's voice asked from beside Goku. Goku looked round to see his granddaughter standing further away with her hands on her hips. The brothers were staring at her too.

"Get out of here, brat. This is grown up talk." Goten snapped. Pan growled at this.

"Who are you calling a brat, baka?" she asked. Goten growled and fired a blast at her. Pan yelped and dived out of the way. She scrambled to get back to her feet but Goten was already on her and was throwing punches in rapid succession at her. Pan was doing her best to dodge all of the jabs and was forced to move backwards the whole time.

Goku watched and tried to get over to help just to have Gohan grab him and toss him back to the ground.

"Oh no you don't." Gohan said, shaking his finger at Goku. Goku just frowned and looked over at his son and granddaughter.

Pan continued to dodge but Goten was getting faster. He feinted a blow to the head and managed to land a blow to her gut. Pan doubled over and grunted before Goten's leg swung round and sent her flying. She bounced and skidded across the floor then flipped onto her feet and settled into a stance.

"Fine uncle, if you wanna play rough then so will I…" she muttered then ran back to Goten, kicking of the ground and flying towards him when she was halfway there. She turned into a spinning kick as soon as she was close enough and it was thrown aside. She then spun round to backhand Goten but her fist was caught. She struggled to get it free and even powered up, a white aura blazing around her but Goten just powered up and then went super and laughed.

"Looks like poor little Pan-chan is stuck." He said and powered up a blast, ready to hit her at point blank range.

Goku gasped from the sidelines and pushed past his eldest son to reach his granddaughter. But what happened next nobody expected.

Goku wasn't going to make it in time, even if he transformed. Goten was about to release the blast but then was caught of guard as Pan screamed and was engulfed by a golden light. Goten was thrown from her and when he looked back Pan was standing in a stance with golden hair and teal eyes. But her hair was different to the ordinary super saiyan; well at least to all the males. Instead of her hair pointing up it pointed out at all angles. And there she was glaring at Goten as if nothing had happened.

Goku nearly tripped as he stared at her but quickly came to a halt.

"Pan…since when have you…how did you…?" he trailed off, completely confused. Pan's glare just turned into a smirk.

"Oh, do you like it? This is the first time I've shown anyone." She said simply. Goku was still dumbfounded.

"But how…?" he asked again.

"It was a lot of the little things, ok? You had ran off, I had school trouble, Goten and bullies to compete with as well as living up to the family name. It just built up ok. But it doesn't matter right now!" she explained and then, with a burst of power, she charged at Goten and started throwing punches that he found next to impossible to block while still in his surprised state.

It quickly passed and soon Goten was easily weaving in and out of the punches and kicks and then he hit Pan away with one good, hard hit to her forehead.

Pan quickly recovered and lunged for another attack. Goten ducked under her punches and then, in a surprising move, powered up to the next level. Pan was thrown backwards by the sudden force of his golden aura hitting her and landed further away. And then, with a quick ki-blast, she was out cold.

Goku's eyes widened as Pan was hit and he immediately charged at Goten without thinking. Goten lazily slapped Goku away as he was still at level two and Goku was in normal mode. Goku landed on his feet and growled just as two new arrivals landed.

"Goku! Don't hurt them they are being controlled by a guy named Bebi!" Hercule yelled from the back of Buu. Buu was flying towards them and touched down next to Pan. Hercule immediately went to check on her.

Goku watched his two sons carefully but spoke to Hercule.

"Bebi is here? But how?" he asked.

"Your guess is as good as mine Goku." The champ said and picked up his granddaughter. Goku growled and looked up as a final group appeared.

Bebi Vegeta was floating with Zara, Trunks and Bra further away. Vegeta had his hair white again with the red lines on his chin and over both eyes. Goku cringed when he saw him.

"Vegeta…" he mumbled then decided to take the leader role.

"Hercule! Get Pan out of here!" he yelled then spotted Trunks. "Trunks? What are you doing with him?" he asked and the others all looked to the lavender haired prince.

"He has been reborn along with everyone else on this planet. They serve me now." Bebi Vegeta said. Goku frowned and looked to Trunks again.

"It's true Goku. Why don't you join us?" he asked with a smirk.

"No, I have a better idea." Bebi Vegeta announced. Goku sunk into a defensive stance.

"Hercule, get her out of here." Goku stressed. Hercule nodded and before he could say another word, Buu had grabbed him and Pan and had taken off.

Bebi watched them go and allowed them to leave. He looked back to Goku.

"Now lets finish this." He said. Goku nodded and the two began to power up. Goku burst into level one and continued to power up with his golden aura blazing brightly. He could see Bebi Vegeta powering up but he wasn't transforming.

Guess Bebi is stopping Vegeta from transforming. Goku thought as he donned the characteristics of a level two. His hair was as sharp as knives now and his muscle mass had doubled but still he continued with Bebi Vegeta staying even the whole way. Finally Goku burst into level three. His hair grew to his knees and his eyebrows were wiped from his face while his eyes gained pupils. He was at level three but for some reason something felt different about it but Goku didn't have time to think about it. Bebi Vegeta had floated down to the ground.

"Now to see just how strong you really are." Bebi said. Goku frowned at him then both seemed to disappear as they attacked.

Goku ducked under a punch then delivered one of his own that was pushed aside. Goku then used a roundhouse that hit its target but Bebi Vegeta returned it with one of his own and then added a blast that sent Goku soaring to the ground. Goku skidded across it, making a large trench as he did and was knocked out of level three. All of the spectators gasped.

Bebi laughed at the saiyan 'child' and raised a palm over his head.

"Looks like you can't hold onto your power any more. How sad. I guess I better just end this." He said then grinned evilly, deciding to make completely sure that there would be no possible way for Goku to survive.

People of earth. It is I, your new leader! Give me your energy so I can wipe out the saiyan menace once and for all! He told his people and all over the planet people began to do as told. Outside of Chichi's house all that were present powered up and gave their energy to Bebi Vegeta as he formed an apocalyptic sized ki-blast that was a coal black colour.

Bebi Vegeta smirked as the ball grew and then threw the ball at Goku, as it finally grew big enough.

"Revenge death ball!" he yelled and it flew towards the helpless Goku. The saiyan couldn't do anything to stop it as it came towards him. There was no way that he could escape…

Everybody watched as the ball blocked Goku from view and hit the spot where the saiyan had laid. It blew and when all smoke and debris settled, there was no sign of the heroic saiyan.

......

Yay! I finally finished! This was a very long chapter that probably could have been split into two but I really didn't want to do that. I've had enough of how Bebi took over…

Now the big question is how will Bebi be beaten without earth's great hero? You'll see, ja'ne!
