Chapter Four: Day of Training

The next morning, once everyone was awake and fed, Goku, Vegeta, Toran, and Hope all went into the Gravity Room. Goku and Vegeta only wanted to see how strong Hope and Toran were. They were surprised to discover that they had reached Super Saiyan 3 and that they were almost an even match for Goku.

"You're not bad for a girl," Vegeta taunted.

"Come on old man. Show me what you got," Hope returned.

"All right then. Let's go," Vegeta replied as he began to attack Hope. She dodged all of Vegeta's attacks which infuriated him even more than he already was. After a while, Hope became tired of playing defense so she began attacking Vegeta. He dodged most of her attacks, but her more damaging attacks hit him hard. After about an hour of this going on back and forth, they heard the call for lunch.

"It's about time. I was starting to wonder if I was going to have to go out and catch my own meal," Vegeta ranted as they arrived in the kitchen for lunch.

"Just shut up and eat, would you?" Bulma replied as she placed the food in front of the hungry Saiyans who started shoveling food down their throats as quickly as they could.

"You know, I don't think I'll ever get used to the way they eat," Chichi said to Bulma as they watched the Saiyans eat. Soon they were done scarfing down all of the food and were ready to continue their training.

"So, Goku, you want to fight now? I mean you haven't even warmed up yet. Why don't you and father fight?" Toran asked Goku.

"Sounds like fun to me. What do you think Vegeta? Want to have a go, for old time's sake?" Goku asked Vegeta.

"Humph, do you really want me to beat you into a pulp?" Vegeta replied.

"You can try. Let's go," Goku stated as they began to warm up.

About 3 hours later, all four warriors came out battered and bruised. They each headed for a different bathroom so that they could wash up for dinner. When they finished they headed for the kitchen and discovered that M. Bulma had ordered pizza and that everyone was currently in the living room watching the news.

"What's going on?" Toran asked as he walked in and sat next to Angel.

"The President (a/n: president of the world. I'll explain later) is resigning from office and they are going to be holding elections for a new one," Rydia answered. "Bulma you should run for office."

"That's a good idea. Mom, you should run. You would definitely win. Imagine all of the good you could do with that kind of power," Toran agreed.

"I'll think about it. I admit, it could be a very good thing to do. I could build up the planet's defenses so that we'd be somewhat prepared for the next attack," M. Bulma replied.

"It's a great idea, Grams! I can be your bodyguard and beat people up without getting into trouble. That would awesome," Hope said with the Vegeta Smirk™ plastered on her face.

"I don't think that's a good idea…" Toran started to reply when a large alarm sounded across the compound.

"What's that?" asked Goku as the group started heading down a hallway to M. Bulma's lab where her mainframe computer was located.

"That's the alarm I created to inform us if there are any temporal anomalies (A/N: think portals) on the planet. Let's take a look and see where this one is," M. Bulma answered as she sat down at her computer and started pulling up the information on what was occurring.

"I'll go. There's no need for these amateurs to get in my way," Hope stated as she walked in twirling her sais around in her hands, "Leave this to me. I'll be back before you know it."

"It's the same place it's been. This is starting to worry me. Be careful, I don't know what is out there, but I can tell you that there are 5 of them. Whatever they are, they're not human. I don't even think they're from this plane of existence," M. Bulma told Hope as she left to take care of the unknown enemies.

A/N: Review, that's all I'm going to say.
