Chapter 3

"SORA!"

Vegeta ran towards the wreck; the man behind the wheel was about 16, he walked out, stunned at what just happened. However, he did not have time to focus on the situation, because two cars crashed behind him; they had turned the corner and did not see the crash in time to stop. The cars collided behind each other, causing the first car to topple over; the young man barely made it out alive. Vegata managed to dodge the toppling car, but his mind was set only on his helpless Sora.

Diving head first into the inferno of flames and smoke, he began pulling shrapnel after shrapnel away from the body of his granddaughter. He turned to a Super Saiyin, his emotions were high and the thought of his lifeless granddaughter sparked the power.

'Sora! Sora! Sora!' was all his mind could think of. He did not notice that others had come to help, pulling away as much as they could before the smoke became too much for them and they edged out, coughing wildly. When the first police men showed up to the scene, they pointed to the man still inside the inferno. The police attempted to go in, but flames shot out as part of an engine exploded; there was nothing they could do.

At the meantime, Vegeta worked feverishly, the smoke stung his eyes, he could feel tears stream down his face (tears of pain and sorrow, but we won't get into that, after all, it's Vegeta for crying out loud!) but he would not rest until he found his

granddaughter …

But then he felt it…

A Ki…

Slightly at first, but the more he dug, the stronger it became.

Pulling away a warped car bumper, a flash of light shot out towards him; those outside the inferno saw this and thought it some sign of god. He knew exactly what could illuminate such light; a power up!

And there she was. Kneeling on the ground, her hands spread out on either side of her, her eyes shut tight. She was surrounded by a shield of power. She looked to be holding the shrapnel away with all her might, and by the looks of it, it would not be long until she gave in to the pressure. What amazed him the most; her hair flickered yellow to green each time her Ki became stronger.

"Grandpa! Help me!" she yelled.

'She could sense my Ki?' he thought, but quickly, he reached towards her, grabbing her arm, and before any of the shrapnel touched her, he flew off into the sky; Sora lay cradled in his arms, exhausted.

In another part of the planet, a 5 year old boy was awakened from his nap in the garden by a strange energy force. He looked towards the east, his brown eyes fixed over the horizon, loose strands of black hair flowing gently behind him. At first glance, you might not notice, because his skin was not as dark as his fathers, that he was the young son of Uub. Behind him, his friend, a chubby boy named Soso, awoke, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"What's wrong, Zuku?" Soso asked.

"You… didn't feel that?" Zuku replied, his eyes still searching for that unknown source.

"Feel what?" his friend looked towards the direction Zuku was facing. He frowned slightly. "I don't feel anything." he looked wearily to his friend. "Are you teasing me again, Zuku? Cause I'm too tired to play."

"No I'm not! I swear I felt…"

"What?" seeing Zuku serious really awoke him now; if Zuku was just furthering the game, he was really good at it, cause Soso was watching the horizon with fascination. "What, Zuku?"

"I dunno…" quite suddenly, he jumped up and dusted the grass away from his pants. "But whatever it was, I wanna find out!"

High atop a purple mountain, a small boy of 7 years emerged from a waterfall, his fighting brother, Chao-su, who was not bigger than himself, chased after him. Strange enough, this young boy had a third eye in the middle of his forehead, and his hair wasblue with black streaks running through it. As he made to leap across a stepping stone, he was distracted by an unseen force, and he toppled into the water. Chou-su quickly went to his aide.

"Are you all right, Shogi?" he said, pulling the boy out of the water. Shogi coughed up some water and turned all three eyes towards the east.

"What was that, Chao-su?" he asked, forgetting his brother's question. Chao-su tilted his head in puzzlement. Shogi stared at his brotherin exasperation; he forgot that he could not detect things like he and his mentor, Tien, could.

"Shogi?"

"Forget it, Brother Chao-su." Shogi said and quickly began his race anew.

"The time is almost come; the great powers of the Dragon will be unleashed anew…Prepare, new warriors, for your destiny awaits…"
