Chapter 1

The Birth of a Child and a Machine

Gohan paced back and forth on the tiled ground as he waitd. What could be taking so long?

His steady composure was now shaken with anticipation. Gohan sat down in a seat and tapped his foot. Soon there was a large rumbling as the ground shook. He imediately stopped as he looked around to see many objects, inclucing people, all over the ground.

A woman wearing a white uniform walked out of the room that Gohan had been waiting on. He jerked himself out of his chair and ran to her.

"How is she?" Gohan asked in a frantic tone. The woman smiled kindly at him.

"She is just fine now," she replied. "You may go in and see her now." Gohan turned the door handle nervously, unsure of what he would find behind it. He pushed the door open.

"Gohan." Chi-Chi looked at her first son and smiled at him. Seh was sitting ina hospital bed, but Gohan paid no heed to that. Instead, he looked at what she was holding.

"Is that --?" His words got caught in his throat.

"Yes," she answered, "it is." Gohan walked to his mother and she handed the small bundle to him. He held it gently in his arms. Pulling part of the blanket off, he stared down lovingly -- at his new baby brother.

"What should we name him?" Gohan asked, breaking the silence.

"I think that I have a name," she told him. "How about... Goten?" Gohan thought about this. Yes. He liked -- no -- loved the name.

"Goten sounds great," he replied. Gohan looked down at his brother's face once more. "Hello Goten..."


Weeks passed since the arrival of Goten. Other than training and studying, Gohan now played with his baby brother. Chi-Chi had insisted that they cut off Goten's tail as soon as they got home, but Gohan convined her to let him keep it for awhile.

Gohan watched as Goten took a few steps, his tail helping him balance. Because of his tail, he could already walk. But without it, he would learn to walk at the same pace as a normal human. It was funy to watch a baby walk. (Although his head is already filled with hair)

"Ugh!" This time, Goten had fallen on his head. A large bump formed and he held his head. He sniffed as his eyes began to water.

Immediately, Gohan swept Goten into his arms and began to do whatever he could to sotp the crying.

After a few, long, minutes, Goten stopped crying. Instead, he fell drowsy from Gohan's rocking and fell asleep in his arms.

Smiling at the sleeping child, Gohan flew silently to Goten's crib. He gently placed the baby down and pat his head. With that, he left.

Shutting the door lightly behind him, Gohan went up the stairs to his room. His mother wanted him to be a scholar; so he studied. She would get mad athim if he didn't.

Reading his door, Gohan pulled it open and stepped in. Closing the door behind him, he went to his desk. Sitting in the chair, Gohan opened a textbook and began to read.


Reaching a state of boredom, Gohan looked at the clock. It was 3 o'clock.

Closing his eighth book, Gohan stood up and began streching. Two hours in a wooden chair was no picnic.

Gohan went to his window and opened it, lettping a cool breeze blow onto him.

Life was so boring. Gohan would eat twice his body weight in the morning and then train for an hour. After training, he would shower and then play with Goten. Eat. Play with Goten for another hour and then study for two hours. Gohan would then train for two or three hours until dinner. Eat. Gohan would watch and play with Goten after that.

In the beginning, it was fun. But Gohan was tired of looking at books, memorizing and understanding the comcepts of Math and Science.

Also, much to Chi-Chi's dismay, Gohan kept training in the mountains. Now there was no challenge; he had no opponent and would practice the same techniques over and over again. He was bored.

Whenever he could, Gohan would fly over to Capsule Corp. to have a good spar with Vegeta. Those times weren't that often due to his mother's study plan and taking care of Goten. Plus Chi-Chi didn't want Gohan to get hurt. At least Vegeta had his gravity room.

Snapping back to reality, Gohan's eyes widened. He returned to his desk and pulled out a blueprint. Sitting down, Gohan began to modify it.


Forty minutes later, Gohan held up his masterpiece and stared at it. Yep, everything was inorder. He rolled up the paper and put on elastic around it. Hopping onto the windowsill, he flew out.

The young half-saiyan laughed as he flipped and rolled in the air. Flying felt so great.

To the citizens below, Gohan was a blur; invisible to the untrained eye. It was fun.

Soon enough, the enormous dome shaped building of Capsule Corporation came into view. Gohan slowed slightly and then plunged into a dive headed to the backyard. At the last second, he pulled out of it.

Gohan walked over to the titanium door that led into the building and punched in the code. (Dende2) Bulma chose this password because no one knew who Dende was. The "2" was added as a precaution.

Stepping through the doorway, Gohan was brought into a small space blocked by another door. He pressed a large button and th door behind him was quickly shut.

On a small screen were the words, "Please State Your Name" in red. As clearly as he could, Gohan said, "Gohan." The computer took five seconds to process his voice before letting him enter.

When Gohan entered, he pressed another button, causing the second door to slide shut.

Lowering his ki, Gohan began to walk around in hope to find Bulma. He sensed that he was in her bedroom.

Walking at a steady pace, Gohan set off to look for Bulma.

After a long walk and many turns, Gohan finally reached Bulma's room. He knocked on the door and waited.

The door opened to reveal Bulma. Clearling she had recently been in contact with water. She was wearing a snug red robe and had a white towel wrapped around her head.

"I'm sorry." Gohan scratched his head and flashed the traditional Son Grin. "Is this a bad time?"

"No!" Bulma told him. "I just finished taking a shower. Come ine." She opened the door wider, letting him in. Gohan walked in and looked around.

Bulma's room was as big as Gohan's house! The walls were white and up against on of teh walls was a lareg t.v. Parallel to the television was a bed. The blanket was red; as were the silk pillows. The sheets were white.

On the other side of the room, opposite to the door, was another door, obviously leading into the bathroom. On the left side of the bed was a small table was a very fancy lamp perched on top of it. In the corner, the wall with the t.v. and the wall with the bathroom door, was a large desk. It was made so that one part was on one wall and the other part was on the other one. The rest fit snugly into the corner because of its shape. One one section of the desk (the whole thing is four times larger than a normal desk) was a computer and many documents. The other side held blueprints and many more papers.

"Is there anything wront?" she asked. Bulma sat on her bed and gestured for Gohan to join her. He sat down and shook his head.

"No. I was just wondering if I could have some parts to build a machine." Bulma nodded and stood up.

"Okay," she told him. "Just let me get dressed." From her bedside table she tossed him the t.v. remote. "I'lljust be a little bit." Gohan knew that she would be a very long time.

Positioning himself in a more comfortable position, he pointed the remote at the t.v. and turned it on.

"Yah! I'm the strongest man in the world!" On the scren was none other than Hercule Satan. Flipping through a few moer channels, he was surprised to find that they were all interviewing Hercule. Flipping a few more times, Gohan was relieved to find a show about racecar driving.

'Wow,' thought Gohan in amazement. 'It's been five months and Hercule's still having interviews. I'm glad that he took my credit. He really adapts to fame well.' Gohan turned his attention to the television and began to watch.


Twenty minutes later, Bulma emerged from the bathroom. Her hair and make-up were done and she was dressed up in full attire. Gohan turned the t.v. off and followed Bulma out the door.

Bulma led Gohan to her laboratory. It was larger than her room and had many interesting things in it.

"What do you need?" Bulma asked. Gohan handed the rolled-up blueprint to her. Pulling it open, she looked at the design with surprise. Lowering the paper, she looked at Gohan. "You've really done your homework!" Bulma walked over to a computer and began to type things in.

Gohan watched as different boxes came out of teh wall to him and Bulma. She opened a drawer at her computer desk and took a capsule kit out. Watching her open it, Gohan found that it was empty. Bulma went to every bos and took out one or two capsules, placing them in the capsule case.

"Here." Bulma handed the capsule case to Gohan. Looking inside, he found that they were all labeled clearly.

"So, how's your mom and Goten?" she asked, changing the subject.

"They're both fine and Goten can already walk, " Gohan told her. Bulma nodded while smiling. She handed him back the blueprint.

"I just have one question." Bulma pointed to one part of the blueprint. "What's that for?"

"Well," he began, "I was thinking that these parts could intwine to shield the detecting of ki." Gohan held up the paper for Bulma to see. Her eyes widened as she did teh calclations mentally.

"Wow, Gohan!" exclaimed Bulma. "You're one smart kid!" Gohan grinned modestly and scratched his head.

"Thanks for the parts, Bulma." Gohan walked out of the room and into the hallway, heading towards the front door. Bulma followed along beside him.

"Are you goign to spar with Vegeta?" Bulma asked. Gohan shook his head.

"I have to go home soon or else mom will worry," he explained. "And I want to get started on this." Gohan held up the blueprint.

After a few minutes of silence, they finally reached the front door.

"Take care of yourself," Bulma told him. Gohan nodded as he took to the air. He faced her and waved.

"Bye, Bulma!" Gohan turned an left. Bulma continued to wave although she could not see him anymore.

As she entered the building, she saw, none other, than the Prince of Saiyans.

"Woman, what were you doing outside?" growled Vegeta. Bulma smiled slightly.

"I was just seeing Gohan off," she told him. Bulma watched as her husband flared up in anger.

"What!" Vegeta yelled. "Kakarott's brat came here? Why?" He glared fiery daggers at Bulma. She countered with a glare of her own.

"He doesn't always come just to spar with you!" Bulma told him. "He came to see me!" Her temper cooling, she added, "And now I am going to check up on our son!" With that, Bulma stomped away.

"Woman," Vegeta growled menacingly. He left as well, going the opposite way. Unfortunately, his temper was not at all cooling and it would be a very sorry day for anybody that crossed his path.


Gohan flew at break-neck speedback to his home. As he landed, he carefully checked for ki. He detected his mother in her room. Looking at his clock, he found that he had about forty minutes to spare before it was dinner.

"I guess I can get started," he muttered to himself. He flew into the woods.

Gohan flew around, looking for some flat ground. He found a large open area, not clouded by trees.

Quickly, Gohan mentally measured the perimeter to see if it was big enough. Yes, it was. Gohan took out the capsule kit and quickly de-capsulized them all. He closed his eyes and opened them a few seconds later.

In the middle of the clearing was a large dome shaped skeleton. (Of the building) Grinning, Gohan began to work.


An hour later, Gohan stoped and looked at what he had made. For a normal person, it would have taken them hours. But Gohan isn't a human, nor is he normal. Using his saiyan speed, he had completed this tough task in only an hour.

"Let's see..." Gohan inserted his number password which opened the door to his build. Stepping in, he closed the doorsbehind him.

"Wow!" Gohan looked around, surprised at his own handiwork. Securing the doors, he pressed one of the many buttons on his machine. Gohan suddenly felt the intense gravity try to pull him down, but he stood tall. He threw a few kicks and punches, satisfied with his results.

"Yes!" Gohan could not train in his new gravity room. He continued this daily routine. In five years, it will change.
