Disclaimer: Toei Animation, Bird Studios/Shueisha, Akira Toriyama, and FUNimation own all three Dragon Ball Series. If I owned them, which I don't, I'd be rich, which I'm not, and you'd be watching this fan fiction on TV, not reading it on a computer. Now, onto this story already!
Thanks for the reviews ppl! It tells me that people are actually reading this...and that I should continue! Oh yeah...Not to disappoint, but I don't intend to follow what happened in the show exactly, but to change it around a little bit. Hope you guys still like it. And now... Chapter 4!
Chapter 4: Super Saiyajins, Demons, and Reunions
"Higashi-sama," began the larger of two men, "Do you believe that this… this entire undertaking is wise?"
The smaller man set his jet-black eyes on the larger man. "It's already free Kibito, we haven't much choice."
Kibito nodded. "I understand Higashi-sama, but Dai Roppou instructed the Kaioushin to never directly interfere in mortal affairs."
"I am Dai Kaioushin now," Higashi gently reminded his guardian. "But I respect Dai Roppou's law. However, his law also named the Kaioushin to the responsibility of the upkeep of the mortal universe."
"Then I suppose we should retrieve that mortal?"
"That would be best. And Kibito," said Higashi as he looked into the eyes of his companion.
"Yes Higashi-sama?"
"I know that this being is a mortal, but he is vital to the survival of the universe, if my dreams are truly a sight into the future. Please don't treat him rudely."
"Higashi-sama! I would never disrespect you by being discourteous to a guest. But I understand your sentiment… But you must understand, mortals are not supposed to tread foot on Kaioushin-Kai."
Higashi nodded. "I know that, but it is vital that we break many of Dai Roppou's rules in order to protect the universe. Now, let's go." The two's forms slowly dissipated, leaving the planet.

"Dad," said Shinto, smiling a little at the term, "I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't, trust me," said Tien, waving his son in.
Shinto ran towards his father and threw out his fist mightily, and struck…nothing. "What the..." He turned around and met his father's fist with his face.
The boy fell back, clutching his nose a little. After regaining his balance, he lunged at Tien, swinging his fist...but again hit nothing.
His father had moved at least twenty feet away in that one instant.
"You're fast," commented Shinto, "I'll give you that much." With that, Shinto stepped forward and disappeared. Tien ducked, just dodging Shinto's now visible fist.
Shinto growled. "I guess I can't play with you dad." He thrust his palm forth, creating a red light forged of angry energy, which rocketed towards Tien. Tien leant to the side a bit, easily dodging the steaming flare of crimson light.
Tien looked on shocked. "You can use your ki? Someone must've trained you!"
"I've always been able to do that."
Tien shook his head in disbelief. He already knows how to use his ki… But how can that be? I didn't know anything about ki until I met Master Crane...
"Let's go!" Shouted Shinto as he charged his father, who calmly sidestepped the boy's fist as it was swung. Tien then quickly spun and rammed his knee into Shinto's side, causing the boy to be knocked back quite a few feet, and landed on his side, crumpled up in a fetal position.
Shinto groaned and very slowly climbed to his feet, a scowl on his face. He balled his right fist up tight as he spread his feet into a wide fighting stance. Shinto lifted up his left foot and took off running.
"Raging Bull Fist!" Roared Shinto as a brilliant red flame encompassed him, boosting his speed. Once upon Tien, he swung his fist downward with every bit of strength he could muster, forcing the soil beneath them to come apart as it struck Tien's skull.
Within moments, the falling debris stopped, and the scene was revealed. Tien was laid flat on his back, with Shinto standing above him, scowl gone.
Tien slowly sat up, grunting a little. He climbed to his feet, and received a tightly balled fist in his palm.
"You're pretty strong for a teenager Shinto," remarked Tien. "Much stronger than I was when I was your age."
Shinto scowled, and then noticed a fairly large bruise on Tien's skull. "So I did hurt you!"
Tien rubbed his head gingerly. "That Raging Bull attack was pretty powerful, it reminded me of two old friend's attacks blended into a single assault. But how did you learn it?"
Shinto relaxed his shoulders, smiling up at his father. "Mom had a lot of old tapes of the World Martial Arts Tournament... I just practiced what I saw. My favorite was the Wolf Fang Fist, but I put my own spin on it."
Shinto pulled his fist free and hugged Tien, the three-eyed warrior reacted shocked at first, then returned the hug.
"How would you like to meet the guy who created that attack?"
Shinto looked up at his father. "You know him?"
Tien nodded. "I'll introduce you… son."
Shinto smiled. Having a father at home was far better than anything he could've ever hoped for.
---------------
An enormous, red skinned being garbed in a pink suit and a horned pink hat sat at a rather gigantic desk. He looked rather annoyed as he wrote in his ledger, eyeing a rather small in comparison being that stood before his desk.
He set his pen down and lifted up a stamp, and struck the creature's small form, leaving a red mark on him that encompassed his entire body. Within moments, the being faded, banished to the underworld.
Just then, a duo of being appeared before the great man, the smaller of the duo wearing a light blue tunic with puffy shoulders, with a navy blue vest with red edges over it. His feet were adorned in blue boots, and upon his waist rested an orange sash. His light purple skin contrasted his jet black eyes, his white hair that only grew along the middle of his head and rose up fairly high contrasted his other features further still. His long, pointed ears were decorated with yellow earrings hanging from them.
The older, and far larger of the two was as peculiar looking as his companion. He wore a dark blue tunic, with a maroon vest with yellow edges over it. His feet were adorned in blue boots with red lines running down the middle, and upon his waist rested an orange sash. His skin, a light pink, heavily contrasted his jet black eyes, his white hair hung down to his shoulders. His long, pointed ears were decorated with dark blue earrings hanging from them.
The massive man's eyes snapped open as he beheld these two beings and dropped all that he was doing. He gave a quick bow to them, as the larger of the duo spoke.
"Lord Enma," greeted the larger man.
"Kibito, Higashi-sama. What brings a deity of your caliber to my Check Point?"
"Enma," started the small purple being, Higashi, "Has a being known as Goku passed through your checkpoint?"
The great ogre nodded, his thick black beard shaking as he nodded. "He and King Kai just left for Dai Kaio's world."
"Enma, do you believe that Goku and the North Kaio of the North Galaxy are at the planet of North Galaxy Dai Kaio?"
"Most likely, they left a few hours ago."
"Thank you." With that, the two beings again dissipated.
---------------
Goku grinned. "You want me to starts things off?"
"It is your decision totally," responded Pikkon. Goku's grin broadened he slowly inched his right foot forward for a moment or so, and completely vanished. Pikkon looked about in confusion, but quickly spun to catch a fist. Pikkon, wasting no time, began to whirl about, spinning Goku round and round.
Pikkon shouted as he let Goku go who was launched into the sky. Pikkon slammed his fists together and roared two words.
"Thunder Claw!" Golden lightning surged forth much like a Ki blast and struck Goku, shocking him violently.
Goku fell to the ground hard, and laid there shuddering wildly for a few moments, and then grew still.
"I expected more," muttered Pikkon, disappointed.
Goku grunted loudly as he slowly climbed to his feet. He erected himself and a golden aura burst about him, his power swelling ten-fold. His onyx black hair was burned golden and forced upward so that not even one strand hung down, his eyes a brilliant turquoise.
Goku let his aura swell a little more, and it glowed an even brighter shade of gold, blue sparks bursting forth from it.
Pikkon grinned.
The two warriors clashed at inhuman speeds, matching one another blow for blow. Pikkon tilted his head to the side to avoid a fist and swung his own. Goku grimaced as he blocked the punch with his shin, spun around and buried a thunderous roundhouse into the skull of his opponent. Pikkon grunted as he was sent sailing across the marble.
Goku lowered his stance and drew both hands back, cupping them at his right side.
"KA!" Came his loud yell. Blue energy had begun to gather between Goku's palms.
"ME!" The blue ball grew larger.
"HA!" Pikkon flipped over, righting himself in mid-air.
"ME!" Pikkon scowled, his eyes glazed over with gold.
"HA!" Came a booming shout, and a blue wave of energy surged forth from Goku's palms.
Pikkon slammed his fists together. "Thunder Flash!" An erratic wave of golden thunder rushed forth from Pikkon towards Goku. The two blasts collided, erupting in a massive explosion.
The dust from the explosion began to settle revealing both warriors lay out upon the ground, clothes tattered, bodies battered. Both warriors seemed to be conscious, but unable to do much more than breathe heavily as they laid there on the marble ground.
Both Kai's walked over to the fallen combatants.
West Kai sighed. "What now?"
King Kai thought about. "Well, how about I count to ten, and the first to rise is the winner. Fair?"
West Kai grudgingly nodded. "Fine. But you better not try and cheat!"
"Are you saying I'm a cheater!"
"Just count!"
"Fine." He mumbled something about West Kai being a shrimp.
"What was that!"
"One!" Shouted King Kai, ignoring West Kai's outburst.
"Two." Neither warrior budged.
"Three." Still nothing.
"Four." Goku, groaning, propped himself up on his elbows and pushed his body up into a sitting position.
"Five." Pikkon gathered his battered form up on to his knees.
"Six." Goku leant forward, fighting gravity in an effort to stand.
"Seven." Pikkon pulled his bruised form to one knee.
"Eight." Both warriors were now about to stand.
"Nine." Goku slowly rose as Pikkon's weak body trembled.
"Ten." Goku stood erect as Pikkon fell back to the ground.
Goku flashed the victory sign. "Yeah!" The victor pranced about the area flashing the sign and shouting affirmations of his victory.
West Kai looked at Pikkon. "How could you lose!"
Pikkon grinned. "Well, I guess I can't beat you wearing weighted clothing." Pikkon took his hat and white shirt off, dropping them, the clothing shattering the marble like glass. He stood back up, only wearing a blue shirt and brown pants.
Goku's jaw dropped. "Man... Those clothes are heavy..." He smiled a little. "You remind me a lot of Piccolo."
King Kai was outraged. "No way, he lost! The fight's over! Goku won... Goku what are you doing!"
Goku had approached Pikkon again. "Let's go."
West Kai grinned. "Are you afraid he'll lose North Kai?"
King Kai growled. "Fine... But Goku... Why not show Pikkon here your new technique?"
Goku nodded and spread his feet a little and crouched down. He balled his fists tightly at his sides. Goku started screaming, his power started to swell as the sound of his voice increased with each passing moment.
The wind started to blow in heavy gusts; the very planet itself lay trembling in his wake. The immense power that he was generating was slowing blowing Pikkon and the two Kai's away from him.
With a mighty scream, his aura exploded in a brilliant flash of golden light.
The two Kais and Pikkon covered their eyes as the light stole sight from them all.
The light slowly died down, revealing a brand new Goku.
His golden mane reached down to the back of his thighs, his brow ridge far more pronounced, his eyebrows existing no longer. His turquoise pupils had become more piercing, and his voice had gained a deeper, lower tone to it.
His clothing shimmered with a tremendous aura of power.
Pikkon roared and a white aura burst about his form, golden sparks running through the aura sporadically.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then flew at each other and clashed. A sonic boom ruptured the marble beneath them as Goku's fist slammed into Pikkon's forearm.
Pikkon threw his fist out, just as Goku dissipated.
Pikkon looked around sensing for him. Goku reappeared behind Pikkon and slammed his fist into Pikkon's back, right between the shoulder blades. Pikkon screamed in pain as his body was flung forward into a fountain, destroying it completely. Water spurted out of the broken fountain, the broken pieces of marble covering Pikkon's form.
Pikkon shouted and his aura forced all the debris off of his body. Goku phased yet again.
Pikkon turned around quickly, expecting to find Goku behind him.
Goku appeared just as Pikkon turned, and drove his foot into Pikkon's face.
Pikkon flew backwards, but flared his aura out, stopping his flight. He quickly spun around and found Goku, and threw his fist out hard, only to have it miss as Goku phased again. Goku reappeared in front of Pikkon, catching the warrior off guard, and slammed his fist thunderously into Pikkon's abdomen. Pikkon doubled over, saliva flying from his mouth.
Pikkon fell back and swung his leg hard, and buried it into Goku.
It was Goku 's turn to double over as he grunted. Pikkon quickly leapt over Goku and grabbed hold of his hair, and began to spin the Saiyajin round and round.
With a shout, Pikkon launched Goku up into the air.
He slammed his fists together. "Thunder Flash!"
Goku saw the golden wave about to strike, and set his hands at his sides.
"Kamehameha!"
Goku's wave easily ate away at Pikkon's, the Kamehameha Wave slamming into Pikkon hard, his body hitting the ground with such a force that the planet shuddered. Goku let the wave dissipate, and Pikkon lay in a crater, his body utterly battered.
"Well Goku," started King Kai, "You never cease to amaze me."
West Kai cried out in shock and ran down into the crater.
Goku smiled and landed beside King Kai. "That was a great fight Pikkon!"
At that remark, Pikkon leapt out of the crater, covered in scars and bruises.
The green warrior grinned. "In the rematch, you won't win Goku."
Goku grinned as well. "I look forward to it."
With that, Pikkon walked off, collecting his clothes. West Kai followed shortly after, grumbling.
King Kai laughed. "I'm glad for you Goku...But get to rub this fight in West Kaio's face for the rest of his life, that little shrimp."
Goku laughed, his aura fading, his golden mane lessening into a wild head of black hair. "You're not that big either King Kai."
King Kai scowled. "Well I'm bigger than him!" The Saiyajin Goku laughed again, and then looked confusedly at the now gravely serious King Kai.
Two beings had appeared before them, a purple being and a taller pink being.
"North Kaio," said Higashi. King Kai gave a quick bow, and elbowed Goku in the side.
"Huh? What was that for?"
"Bow! Don't you know who this is? This is the highest authority in the universe, Dai Higashi-sama!"
"Oh. He doesn't look that special to me. Not really powerful either."
"Goku!"
Higashi cocked an eyebrow. "He is a strange one isn't he? But most powerful indeed."
Kibito nodded. "I admit his strength is great, but this Goku seems rather disrespectful Higashi-sama."
"I don't mean to seem rude," said Goku, who quickly bowed. "Hello, I'm Son Goku!"
Higashi laughed. "Not disrespectful Kibito, but rather naïve of the world beyond the mortal realm." Higashi turned to meet King Kai's gaze, his face serious again. "I need this one, the entire universe is in danger."
"But I don't sense any evil," responded King Kai.
"You cannot. The demon's power is so great that it can mask its malevolent energy. I am barely aware of it myself, but I know this demon personally, I'd recognize its evil anywhere, and from any distance."
King Kai nodded. "Goku, go with them."
"Why? Where are we going?" Goku was oblivious to the whole conversation; his mind was back on the fight with Pikkon.
"Dai Higashi-sama is going to train you." King Kai smiled. "And after he's done with you, Pikkon won't even be in your league anymore."
"Yeah?" Asked Goku. "I can't wait!" He ran over to Higashi, and he, Higashi and Kibito dissipated.
King Kai looked up at the sky. "I wonder what's going on …"
---------------
"You cannot hide from me fools, I sense your presence."
Two human men walked out from behind a boulder. The first was of average height and weight, his skin fair. He wore a white shirt, and black, loose fitting pants and black boots. The other was larger, both in height and weight, and appeared more menacing, his body bulging with over swollen muscles, dressed the same way as his companion, only shirtless.
Both bore the letter 'M' upon their foreheads.
"What do you want mortals," snapped the demon.
"We served Babidi," said the shorter warrior. "But since you killed him... We'll serve you... Lord Majin Buu."
The demon raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?" A laugh escaped the demon. "What use could I possibly have for you two?"
"We could help you take over the world!" Shouted the seemingly steroid enhanced warrior. "Yami's real smart and he can help you plan it!"
"I need no help taking over this planet."
"Spopovitch may be a little slow, but he's strong Lord Majin Buu," said the shorter one. "And every villain needs henchmen, right?"
The demon laughed. "Idiots." He waved his hand over the both of them, and their forms were hidden from view by dark auras. "Destruct!"
A loud explosion sounded from within the auras.
The demon waved his hand, and the auras faded, revealing blood and small bits of flesh.
"Stupid humans..." With that, the demon launched himself into the air, a black flame bursting about its form as it flew off into the distance.
---------------
Goku looked around at the world, the ground coated with luscious vegetation, lakes shimmering with the purest water in the entire universe.
"This place reminds me of Earth…but at the same time it feels different," remarked the Saiyajin.
Higashi smiled. "Come with me Goku, I must show you something."
Kibito looked at his master and gasped. "Higashi-sama! You don't mean to show him the Zed Sword! That is the sword of a great Kaioushin, mortals shouldn't—"
"The Zed Sword?" Asked Goku, interrupting Kibito.
"Yes Goku, a sword that will make you infinitely stronger." Higashi turned to Kibito. "He is our last hope Kibito, we must trust in him."
Kibito sighed and nodded. "If you feel its best Dai Higashi-sama."
"Follow me Goku," said Higashi as he took off into the sky, followed closely by Kibito and Goku. Within minutes, they came upon a rock pillar that rose up from the middle of a lake. The three landed on top the pillar where a sword rested, embedded deeply in the rock.
Kibito pointed to the sword. "Pull that from its place, if you can."
Goku nodded and gripped the hilt and began to pull. He grit his teeth and began to grunt, straining at this seemingly simple task.
"I told you Higashi-sama, a mortal cannot—"
With a shout, a golden aura flared about Goku, his black hair forced erect and burned gold as his eyes lightened from black into a brilliant turquoise. His strength swelled as he roared out.
"Not even in your Super form can you do it mortal," said Kibito. "This is hope—Ah!"
The sword slowly began to give way, Goku grunting and straining with effort. With a mighty yell, he yanked the sword from its resting place, his body flying backward with the weight of the sword.
The Saiyajin lay upon the grass below, the sword lying beside him. Kibito, his face displaying awe as he and Higashi flew downward to Goku, who had just climbed to his feet, gripping the hilt of the Zed Sword tightly.
"Man, this thing is heavy!" Said Goku as he swung it.
Higashi grinned. "A warrior of Kaioushin Kai can't be seen in mortal clothing, now can he?" With that, he raised his palm to Goku, and apparel similar to his own clothed Goku. Goku now wore a light blue tunic, with a navy blue vest with red edges over it. His feet were adorned in navy blue boots with red lines running down the middle, and upon his waist rested a red sash.
Goku checked his new clothes out. "Not really my style… But I like it!"
"Those clothes are most appropriate for you Goku," stated Higashi with a smile. " I'm glad to see that you approve. Now to begin your training." With that, Kibito forged a sword from thin air and began to demonstrate sword techniques to Goku, who followed step for step.
---------------
Food and people abound, the island was chocked full of fun, happiness and togetherness. Trunks had gotten in contact with everyone, and arranged this day, bringing together the greatest heroes of Earth and their families.
Yamcha stood by a grill, Puar hovering near his shoulder. A blue apron that said 'Kiss The Cook' in red letters covered Yamcha's clothes. He flipped a burger over, watching it sizzle as it hit the grill again.
Bulma sat on the edge of the island, her legs up to her knees underneath the cool, shimmering water. She was enjoying a conversation with Chi-Chi, whereas their children, Trunks and Gohan, were doing the same sitting on lawn chairs near the house.
Vegeta stood in the shadows of the house, leaning his shoulder against the pink wall of the house, keeping his distance from everyone else. He didn't exactly come of his free will as his mate dragged him here, claiming that it would be fun. Fun? Vegeta could be training right now…
Atop the house was another lone figure coursed into coming to the picnic. He was called Piccolo, and his one time student, Gohan, would not allow him to stay away from the get together. But the Namekian found solace, meditating atop Master Roshi's home.
Master Roshi and the Ox-King sat near the water, enjoying the beautiful blue view.
Krillin and Oolong sat on Master Roshi's porch, sinking their teeth into hamburgers, rather enjoying them.
Just then, three figures touched down on the island, one holding another in his arms.
Tien, Chaozu, Launch, and Shinto.
Krillin looked up, just finishing his burger. "It's about time you got here Tien!" The whole gang looked up, everybody saying his or her hellos.
"I sensed all of you guys together in one spot, so I figured I'd come and check it out," Tien said, letting the woman in his arms down.
Yamcha looked at the woman in Tien's arms. "Who's the babe?"
Tien laughed a little at that. "You remember her Yamcha."
Yamcha looked at her, studying her face. "Is that…Launch?" His eyes went wide. "Hide the pepper!"
The whole gang got a laugh out of that.
Launch blinked. "I don't get it. What's so funny?"
Yamcha slinked away from the grill slowly. "Nothing, nothing…"
Oolong looked at Shinto. "And who's he?"
"Well," Tien looked down at Shinto, ruffling the boy's strange mix of blue and blond. "Well, he's my son."
"Son?" Came the unison gasp of everyone at the party.
"You and Launch had a kid?" Asked Oolong.
Shinto looked at the pig. "I'm not a kid, I'm a grown man. You got it bacon?"
"Bacon!"
Master Roshi laughed. "He's just like his mother. Well, her other side at least."
"And he's powerful too," added Chaozu. "Like his father."
Tien pointed his son in the direction of Yamcha. "There he is Shinto."
Yamcha cocked an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Shinto walked over to Yamcha. "So you're the guy who originated the Wolf Fang Fist."
Yamcha grinned. "Yup. Glad to see my reputation proceeds me!"
"You think you can take me?"
"I don't fight much anymore kid," said Yamcha, watching the kid get sullen. "Uh… But for Tien's son, I'd be willing to dust off the old fists."
Shinto grinned. "This should be fun."
The two separated, standing a good five meters apart.
Shinto lunged at Yamcha, fist reared back. Yamcha caught Shinto's arm just as he was about to punch with it, and brought Shinto over his head and slammed him against the ground.
Shinto grunted and slowly climbed to his feet, and threw a swift kick at Yamcha, knocking the former desert thief back.
Yamcha smiled and lunged at Shinto, the two began trading fast paced punches and kicks.
They slowed for a second as Yamcha drove his elbow into Shinto's rib cage. Shinto grunted and fell back, clutching at his side.
"You done Shinto?"
"I'm just getting started!" Shinto did a few back flips, creating space between him and Yamcha.
Shinto spread his feet into a wide fighting stance. He lifted up his left foot and took off running at full speed.
"Raging Bull Fist!" That familiar red flame engulfed Shinto as he threw his fist out with every bit of strength he could muster, his knuckles rammed into Yamcha's jaw.
Yamcha flew back, slowly regaining his senses. He looked over at the smug Shinto, and knew immediately what to do.
He cupped his hands at his sides.
"Don't hurt him Yamcha!" Shouted Tien.
"KA!" Bluish white energy had begun to gather between Yamcha's palms.
"Don't overdo it!" Came Tien yet again.
"ME!" The energy condensed into a ball.
"He's just a boy!" Yelled Tien.
"HA!" The ball swelled.
Shinto looked at his father a bit confused. "What's he yelling about? The guy's about to fall in the water, so I win."
"ME!" The bluish white ball glowed brilliantly.
"Don't destroy my house Yamcha!" Yelled Master Roshi.
"HA!" Roared Yamcha as he thrust his palms forward, unleashing a blue wave of energy.
Shinto cocked an eyebrow at the wave.
The blast sailed right past him, Shinto following it with his eyes.
"I don't get it."
"Wolf Fang Fist!"
Shinto bellowed in pain as a fist buried itself between Shinto's shoulder blades, sending the boy sailing in the water.
After a few moments of stillness, Shinto slowly sat up from the water, his back aching a little, but other wise okay.
The gang all looked at Shinto to check if he was okay, and noticed an orange fish in his mouth.
Shinto spat the fish out into the water. "Yuck!"
The fish leapt out of the water and smacked Shinto in the fact with its tail a few times, and spat water at him, falling back into the water afterwards.
Silence.
Shinto growled. "Stupid fish!"
The whole gang got a big laugh out of that, while Shinto ran around in the water attacking all the fish he could find.
The get together lasted all day, the day slowly melting into night as the sun started to set. But the people decided to stay, the get together probably wouldn't happen again for quite some time. So they took the party inside, and continued to enjoy themselves.
Hope everybody liked it. Well, review it and tell me how you liked it! Later ppl.
