And the world turns... Sorry, you don't find out much about their pasts again until almost the end. That's a bit of a time to go yet... But if you keep with it, you get to meet their uncle and find out what happened to their mother! (Yes, that was a bribe...)
Ch.13
The first thing Aiko was aware of was the cold grass against her skin. Her bare skin. Her bare skin?! Aiko opened her eyes. It was a little past dawn. When had she fallen asleep? With a start, she realized that she was nude. What had happened to her clothes? She found a remainder of the sweater she'd been wearing. Whatever had happened, she was glad she hadn't been wearing her favorite jacket.
The sweater seemed to have been torn away from the sleeves. Luckily, it had reached down to her ankles and what was left was enough. She had to tie the edges together because the seams were torn.
Once she was covered, Aiko stood up. Or, tried to. Off-balance, she fell. Then she realized her tail was missing. Where had it gone? This was confusing. AIko decided to fly a little above the ground instead.
"Zjun? Zjun! Vegeta?" She called. A rustling foretold the appearance of her trainer. He seemed surprised to see her. "What happened, was there a tornado I slept through? And where's Zjun?"
"Right here." Aiko watched her brother stumble over. He had covered himself with rags of his clothing as well. Vegeta tossed Aiko her sword and didn't answer her question. She figured she didn't want to know anyway.
"Lets get back. Registration for the tournament starts today." Vegeta said. Aiko blinked at him.
Back at the house, she got changed into better clothes. Strapping her sword on, Aiko met everybody out front. It took about three hours to get to the tournament.
"Hey," spoke up Goku, Gohan's dead father come back for the day. "I don't think we shouold go Super Saiyan at the tournament." After he explained why, everybody admitted he had a point.
The tournament location was a bustling place, and Aiko was amazed. What kind of world was this?
Ch. 14
"Hey Vegeta? If you think we're gonna be the end of the world, how come you're letting us enter the tournament? And how are we supposed to fight to our fullest without our tails?" Zjun asked as they waited in line for their turn to register. Nobody answered the first question, but Goku answered the second.
"Well, you'll just have to get used to not having those tails."
Zjun crossed his arms. He didn't like this- these people were strange. Since when did dead people come back to earth? With halos?
"What if we end up fighting eachother? If we can't go Super, won't it be a tie?" Aiko asked.
"No. Not unless they've been evenly trained. I wouldn't be surprised if you and your brother tied, but noone else. They wouldn't settle for it." Gohan explained, casting a meaningful glance at Vegeta.
Zjun snickered. "Yeah, some people can't stand to be tied with or worse than anyone." They all laughed. Vegeta looked at them warily, and then turned his back, not caring to listen in. Zjun crossed his arms and glared at Goku in a quite accurate imitation of his trainer. Aiko shoved him and he broke it, snickering.
"We're almost up. Come on, Vegeta." Gohan said. Piccolo, who was in front, signed up forst under a pseudonym.
"Majunior?" Zjun hissed. "What's up with that?
"I don't want to be recognized later." the Namek answered.
"Ah. Good idea!" Goku commented, though he didn't. The rest of them shook their head and signed up with thir real names.
"Well, that's over with." Zjun said, laughing, as they walked towards a ring. Before they got there, they ran into a whole crowd of people.
"Whoa! What's up with this?" Aiko exclaimed.
A moderately tall man with blonde hair, sunglasses, and a microphone walked past. then did a double take and walked back.
"Goku! Is it really you?" He was obviously excited at the idea. "Wow! It's been seven years since you've fought here!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah, it has." Goku answered, rubbing behind his head. Then in a stage whisper added on. "I've kinda been dead." He pointed to his halo.
Zjun snickered. "This is interesting..." he whispered to his twin.
