Dragonball Extreme
Chapter One
Lee vs. Lunako
-6 years later-
It was the Fortieth Tenkaichi Budokai. Lee Kotetsu stood watching the Junior Championship Match between two little kids. One was called Vegeta the Thired. The other was called Goku Jr, and both had gone blond makeing the crowed go wild with cheers.
Lee was so into watching the fight that he was annoyed when a very old woman pushed past him trying to get to the other side of the stadium.
"Hey!" Lee exclaimed.
"I beg your pardon!" the old woman said as she kept going.
Lee looked back to see that he had missed the rest of the fight between the kids, so he decided to follow the old woman and see what was up with her.
"You came, didn't you, Goku-Ojji-chan?" the old woman murmured.
"Huh? You mean the old man the statue is of? Please! Son Goku has been dead for a hundred years. You're a senile old hag, aren't you?" Lee asked.
With eyes full of tears, the old woman looked up at Lee. Suddenly a look of fear came over her face.
"Shinlon!" she exclaimed.
"Pan-oba-chan, is this man bothering you?" Goku Jr. asked as he walked up protectivly beside his grandmother.
"No, Boy. This is just someone I knew long ago." the old woman said as a calm look seatled over her features.
The old woman gave Lee a cold look then she and the little boy walked away. Lee sighed as he turned and walked in the opposit direction. The old woman was probably just crazy. Why had she called him Shinlon? Who was Shinlon? He shrugged, deaming it not important. He had a match to win.
He saw here then. A tall beautiful young woman with long black hair tied back in a brade. She had large brown eyes and slightly tanned skin. She wore a tatered purple tank top and really short black shorts. She had on a pair of purple boots that reached her knees. Lee couldn't stop stairing at her great body.
"You here to watch somebody fight?" Lee asked.
"No. I'm here to fight." the girl said.
"You're jokeing. A cute chick like you? You're gonna get hurt." Lee said with his best dazzling smile.
"Buzz off, and don't call me a 'chick'. My name is Lunako." the girl said, not falling for Lee's charms.
She turned away from him and looked up at a statue of the Legendary Son Goku. She smiled knowingly at it.
"Getting a crushon a man who's been dead for a hundred years?" Lee asked mockingly.
"Perhaps." Lunako said as her smile grew.
Lee felt a pang of jealousy, but didn't understand why. He had only met Lunako. He mumbled a few choice curses under his breath as he walked away from the girl and her strange attatude. Later that day, he and Lunako met again in the finals of the adult championship match.
"Don't hold back." Lunako said getting into a fighting stance.
"Oh, I wont. By the way, if I win can I have your phone number?" Lee asked with an evil grin.
"Sure. I'll be sure to shove it up your ass." Lunako answered, returning Lee's grin.
After a battle that seemed to last thirty minutes, Lunako was thrown from the ring. She stood and brushed herself off as Lee watched from the ring. Lunako bowed gracefully, then turned and walked away. Lee jumped from the ring and followed her. Outside the turnament gates was a man waiting for Lunako.
"Hey! Who's your friend?" Lee asked as he caught up to Lunako.
The man's eyes grew wide with suprise when he saw Lee.
"Shinlon?" the man asked.
"Shinlon? No. He's name is Lee, Goku." Lunako corrected.
"Goku? Man. A lot of people were named after the old man who use to be champion, huh?" Lee asked with a slight smile appered across his face.
"It was nice meeting you, Lee." Goku said with a shakey smile.
He threw a capsule down that turned into a motorcycle, then both he and Lunako got on it.
"Bye, Lee." Lunako said as she tightend her arms around Goku who was sitting infront of her.
Lee watched the two go. It had been a strange day. Why were people calling him Shinlon? He didn't understand it nor did he really care. He threw down his own capsule that turned into a sports car. Lee got into his car and speed off in the opposit direction.
"Goku, why did you call Lee, 'Shinlon'?" Lunako asked as they sat in the kitchen drinking coffie. It was later on in the afternoon the same day of the tounament, and the two were siting silently in the kitchen.
"He's the reincarnation of the Dragon God, Shinlon." Goku said almost makeing Lunako drop her mug of coffie in shock.
"He's the reincarnation of a god, and I fought him and lived! Holy Shit!" Lunako exclaimed.
"I've never liked drinking this stuff. It's just too damn bitter." Goku mumbled as he pushed his mug away from him.
"Wait! Dragon God? Shinlon? Shinlon is the dragon that came out of those Dragonball things, isn't he?" Lunako asked.
"Yes." Goku answered simply.
"The same Dragonballs that are in your body, right?" Lunako asked.
"Right." Goku said with a shrug, not too sure of where she was going with this.
"That means if Lee had known that you are actually theLegendary Son Goku, he would have killed you." Lunako stated as her face turned pale.
"Not exactly. I don't think he knows about all that. He might not know who he really is. Just like you don't know who you really are." Goku said.
"Who I really am? Goku, what are you s..." Lunako begain.
" There's been something I've been meaning to tell you, Tenshi. You're the reincarnation of the Saiyan Princess Endive." Goku said reaching across the kitchen table and takeing Lunako's hand.
He smiled reasuringly at her. Lunako couldn't help but feel better just because of his smile. Now it was her turn to tell him a secret.
"I know. I heard you and Mom talking about it late one night. I had offten woundered why I was full blooded saiyan and she was full blooded human. I admit that at first I was terrified. I wanted to call you a liar. I wanted to tell you that it was your fault, but deep down, I knew it was true. I was a princess of an anceint and almost extinct race of warriors." Lunako explained with downcast eyes.
"Lee was also a saiyan in a past life. The saiyan's and the Dragon God's souls were fused togeather creating a new being." Goku said, changing the subject.
"Who fused them?" Lunako asked, looking back at Goku's face.
"An evil entity named Chaos." Goku answered.
"Who was the saiyan? Anyone you knew?" Lunako asked.
" No. I didn't, but you did. His name was Leeks. He was your lover." Goku answered.
"What! Lover! Me and him!" Lunako exclaimed.
"Chill out. It was a past life. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but you were both killed in battle by Freeza." Goku said calmly.
"This is confusing. I'd rather just think of the here and now." Lunako mumbled as she looked down at her half a cup of undrunkin coffie.
Goku got up from his chair and went to the kitchen sink where he begain to wash dirty plates and silverware that had been collecting in the sink. It was a sure sign to Lunako that something unsaid was bothering him. Lunako stood up and walked over to him. She reached around him and put her hand on his. The plate he had been holding droped from his hand and fell into the soapy dish water with a plunk. For a minute the two stood ther not saying anything.
"What's bothering you? You don't touch any dishes or any other kind of chore unless something is bothering you, so what is it?" Lunako asked.
"I'm afraid Lee will figure out who he is and try something. Don't get me wrong. I'm not afraid to die. I've been there and done that. It's just..." Goku begain, but couldn't bring himself to finish as his face turned red.
"It's just what?" Lunako murmured softly.
"It's just...I don't want to leave you, Tenshi." Goku said, calling her by the nickname he had given her when she was a baby. "But if something wereto happen to me..."
"Goku, do you really think I'd let that guy take you away from me? No way!" Lunako exclaimed as she slid her arms around his waist.
"You're not invincable, Tenshi. If Lee try's something..." Goku begain, but was once again interupted by Lunako.
"I'll kick his ass! Goku, you and I will always be together. I wont let Lee kill you. I promise." Lunako said, tightning her hold on Goku.
Goku managed to turn around and hug Lunako to him. She was sort of on the short side. Her hair barely reached his shoulder unless she wore boots or high heels. He smiled as he fondly ruffled her hair. She made him happy. She loved to fight just like he did,and they had spent many an afternoon and weekend sparing. She was getting pretty good. Lunako looked up at Goku and smiled, but before she could say anything he had captured her mouth with his.
"Don't look at me like that." Goku murmured after the kiss had ended.
"If I get another kiss like that, I'll look at you like that more often." Lunako said with a sly wink.
Goku couldn't help but laugh, and soon he had Lunako laughing with him. They didn't know that they should of laughed as much as they could while they still had the chance and reason.
Lee walked along the riverbank pondering the day's events. He came to a training area and slowly walked to the center of the clearing.
"Leo?" he called out.
"Yes, Sir?" asked a holographic image of a young man that appered before him.
"I need to train. Execute program X48A." Lee said.
"Yes, sir." the hologram responded.
The hologram disappered as a large metal android appered. Lee begain to warm up as he pointed his hands at the android and begain to fire beams of energy at it. The android was hit squarley in the chest and was throughn into a nearby tree. With a grunt, the android stood and ran at Lee. It disappered just before hitting him and reappered behind him. It then slamed it's metal foot into the small of Lee's back. Lee was throughn a couple of yards away, but quickly got back up. He wiped blood from his lip then got into a defensive stance.
Lunako stood in a grave yard on a dark moonless night. Thick red mist moved among the graves in a forboding dance. A cloaked figure steped out of the mist carring an obsidean handled syth with a blade that driped something that glowed green and made Lunako think of poison.
"Death?" Lunako asked, hopeing that her voice didn't squeak with fear.
The cloaked figure din't answer. He only pointed to a nearby gravestone. Lunako walked to it and almost cried out when she saw the name on it.
"Goku? No!" Lunako yelled.
She turned around to look back at the cloaked figure, but he had been replaced by Lee, who was holding a very long katana. Lee growled as he flew at Lunako, the katana held ready to kill her.
"NO!" Lunako screamed.
Just then, she woke up sweating and screaming. Goku came running into the room.
"Lunako!" He exclaimed.
"Goku!" Lunako sobed as he reached her side and she threw her arms around his neck.
"He's gonna kill you! I know it! I can feel it!" Lunako said in such a rush as she cried that Goku couldn't understand her.
"What?" was all he could ask, but Lunako was crying so hard she couldn't answer him.
He had never seen her like this, and it worried him.
"It's okay, Tenshi. You're going to be alright." Goku said holding Lunako protectivley in his arms.
It wasn't herself she was worried about. It was him and she had to make him understand the danger he was in.
