Chapter 5: Goku's Favor
In the large Capsule Corp. vessel, which could seat about twenty, Roshi, Chi Chi and Bulma headed directly to the coordinates Trunks had giving them. It seems that the sun had just gotten off of work and the moon was preparing to start its shift. Master Roshi leant in from his chair to where Bulma was at piloting the plane to ask
"Hey Bulma, How long until we arrive"
Bulma responded in an angry tone "We'll get there, when we get there. Sit back and stop bugging me, you could have stayed home you know."
"Sure I could have but, I rather deal with the two of you then Launch any day"
Chi Chi misinterpreted the statement thinking master Roshi was insulting both her and Bulma. She glared at the old man, he knew then that he had to find something to say before Chi Chi slaps him out of the plane. The image of Chi Chi smacking him out the plane distracted him for two seconds then he snapped out of it to say something so Chi Chi wouldn't feel offended.
"Chi Chi I didn't mean it the way you think. What I meant to say was that I enjoy spending time with you and Bulma. Chi Chi please don't hit me?
Chi Chi looked at the old man and smiled "I wasn't going to hit you old man actually I agree with you. Launch can be angry at times but what can you expect from a person with split personality."
Bulma and Master Roshi looked at each other as if they agreed on the fact that Chi Chi shouldn't be talking. When it came to anger, no woman on the planet could compare to Mrs. Son, not even Launch. Roshi and Bulma agreed; however, they laughed while doing so.
Bulma look at her navigational star to see her location. According to the device in the plane, Trunk's was only a mile away.
"We're only a mile off, we should be there in under a minute"
Master Roshi was the first to see Trunk's, he also spotted the ship and the two people that was with Trunks.
"There he is!!!!! Put the plain down by that ship Bulma"
"Ok, just let me align the plane so I won't hit that space ship"
The plane was now on the ground. Bulma shut the plane off; she and the rest of the gang were preparing to exit. Finally, they begin exiting the plane. the first to exit the plane was Roshi, then Chi Chi, and finally Bulma. Trunk was delighted to see the Trio.
"Mom, Master Roshi, and Mrs. Chi Chi you guys made it."
"Of course son did you think we wouldn't?"
"No that's not it mom I'm just happy to see you guys"
"Well were happy to see you to son"
Chi Chi coughed twice. This display was for Trunks to introduce his two friends to the group. Trunks took notice and knew what he had to do.
"Let me introduce you guys, Thalia and Aioshi this is my mother, you can call her Bulma, that's Chi Chi, Goku's wife, and that's master Roshi."
Thalia was trying to figure out what Trunks was pointing at. Trunk's realized that Roshi had left from his spot Thalia felt something holding her hand, when she looked down there was a drooling Roshi. The vein on both Bulma Chi Chi vein was visible. In a single instant "SLAP!!!! Was all that was heard throughout the desert region.
Holding the back of his head, the turtle hermit was on the ground groveling.
"That's what you get for being a dirty old man"
Bulma added "You should be a shame of yourself"
Roshi, still on the ground, quickly stated that he was sorry for doing what he did. After his apology everybody had a laugh except for Lia and Oshi, They didn't know what everybody was laughing at. Changing the subject, Trunks face got serious; he looked at Bulma
"Mom, did you bring the capsule converter"
Bulma replied "Yes. It's in the air craft, why don't you go get it."
With that, Trunks flew of to retrieve the item that his mother had told him to get. Trunks returned with a capsule that read NO.320. He pressed the button and threw the capsule to the ground. Oshi and Lia were amazed to see an object come from this small unit.
The invention that made the Briefs the richest family on the planet was now sitting before them. In all honesty, one might mistake it for a car engine; however, there is a compartment to place capsules and two jumper cable looking wires coming from the side.
Trunk's grabs the wire on the left side and latches it on to the spacecraft while Bulma latches the right wire. After connecting the wires, Bulma sat on the ground to type on the computer, which was hooked up to the capsule converter. Before she can convert it she has to input the correct data about the ship starting from its length, width, and weight amongst other things. She needs this data so when the spacecraft is transported in to the capsule; it is able to return to its normal size upon release.
After a minute of inputting the information, Bulma hits the enter key. The spacecraft lights up then in an instant, it is in the capsule that dejected from the slot. The machine that Bulma had was the original one that her father created. When Capsule Corp. first started that was the only machine, but now there are hundreds of capsule converters in various factories branches all over the world.
The way Capsule Corp. makes its money is by converting items for other companies such as: Car companies, real estate, aircraft, and every other company that produce large objects. Capsule Corp. also produces its own products.
When the conversion finished, Bulma decided to hand Lia the capsule.
"Here you go" Bulma handed to her with a smile
Looking shocked Thalia asked "What did you do to my ship?"
"Nothing except transported it into that capsule. Don't worry your ship is perfectly normal. All you have to do is press the button at the top and throw it to the ground and it will open. A button will appear on the side, so if you want to turn it back in to its capsule form all you have to do is press it."
"Amazing, I didn't know that this sort of technology existed."
Aioshi added, "That is so cool"
Chi Chi looked at the sky and felt it was time that they leave, the sun was already down.
"Hey Bulma its getting dark I think we should leave and head back to your place"
Bulma replied "You're right we should be going. Ok everybody get in the aircraft were heading back to my house." Thalia looked a little reluctant to trust these people, but she went with her gut instant. Aioshi on the other hand chose to follow by flying. Trunks decided to follow the kid.
The plane had no trouble getting off of the ground. As it raced towards Capsule Corp, with Trunks and Aioshi in pursuit, Ms. Briefs decided to start a conversation with the young girl.
"How are you?" Thalia thought it best to be nice and polite "Could be better but ok for the time being." Bulma was curious she had to dig deeper if she wanted to get this girl to warm up to her.
"So you came all the way here from space, mind if I ask why?"
"I came here to find the legendary Super Saiya-jin"
"You came here for Trunks?"
"No actually I came here looking for the Saiya-jin that defeated Freezer. Trunks told me he died about 22 years ago."
Chi Chi knew whom this girl was referring to; it was her Goku. What Chi Chi wanted to know is why was she looking for Goku?
"May I ask why are you looking for my husband?"
"Well Mrs., not to long ago my planet was attacked by a warrior. His strength was extreme even by Furiza standards. My father once told me that the Super Sayia-jin who took down the Cold Empire was the strongest warrior in the universe. "
Master Roshi was still rubbing his head from the double whammy that Chi Chi & Bulma laid on him. It was clear to Roshi why she came to this planet. She needed help and Goku was her best shot; however, Roshi knew how strong Goku was before he died and Trunks was much stronger. Seeing that she felt all hope was lose Roshi decided to cheer her up
"Don't get too down after all Trunks is stronger then Goku was before he died. So you didn't make the trip for nothing."
Thalia was shocked when she heard what the old man had said. How could Trunks be stronger then the legend? How could this old man know? she didn't want to believe him. She looked at him furiously and shot back
"How would you know?"
"I know a lot of things. I know your planet was destroyed, you found that little boy hiding behind your ship, and you and the boy are the only survivors of your planet." Everybody on the plane gasped. Chi Chi and Bulma was shocked that her planet was destroyed; however, the girl was shocked at the fact that he knew those things.
"But how did you know that?"
"Minds are like books, they're easy to read. The reason I said Trunks is stronger is because I can read ki signatures. Trunks also has that ability."
Bulma looked dead ahead and shouted out "We're here !" She landed in the back where the helipad was at, Trunks and Aioshi was already on the ground. When everybody was off, Bulma hit the button on the side and put the capsule back in her capsule holder case. The group headed towards the large compound. Bulma decided to be polite and ask
"Are you two hungry? We have a lot of food."
Thalia smiled at Bulma and politely said no. Thalia was amazed at how big the compound was. She had never been in a place like this before; she was impressed. Aioshi was also impressed, even though he would never admit it. He was use to living in a rural area much like Chi Chi Mt. Paozou hide away.
Bulma walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down, Chi Chi and Roshi followed. Trunks decided to stand up. He felt this would be best since he was going to tell Thalia and Aioshi more about the warrior who had attacked their planet. Trunks ordered them to sit on the love seat so he could start his story.
"You all are probably wondering why I'm standing, well I'm about to tell a story that know body has heard before. To get Aioshi and Thalia up to speed I must go through the story of my past. You two must know that my tale isn't for the faint of hearts. You see about 20 years ago, androids appeared and destroyed this planet. Brave warriors such as Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Yamchua, Gohan, and Vegeta my father fought and lost to those bio genetic Androids.
The only one to survive that battle was Gohan, Goku's son. You see Goku didn't get to fight in that battle because he had a heart attack a year prior to their arrival. 13 years later, the androids were still reckon havoc on the earth. Gohan was a Super Saiya-jin at the time, I was not. We fought those androids but in the end, it was not enough.
Thalia found Trunks story very interesting. She decided to ask Trunks a question.
"Trunks, you said Vegeta was your father. I remember him coming to my planet when I was four looking for the one you all call Goku. He wanted to become a Super Saiya-jin so bad it seemed to me, did he?"
"Yes, but it didn't matter the Androids still killed him. like I was saying.... One day the androids decided to attack the capital. Gohan and I was going to fight, but he knocked me out so I wouldn't fight. When I came to, I flew to the city only to find Gohan lying in the street dead."
A tear came to Chi Chi eye for that was the day she lost her baby to those monsters. Thalia was absorbing all this information. She felt sorry for Trunks. He was forced to grow up before he ever had a childhood. She listened as Trunks continued his tale.
"When I saw Gohan lay lifeless on that cold rubble, something in me just snapped. Suddenly I didn't care if I lived or died, I didn't care about anything. All I felt was anger, rage, and in an instant the barrier of tolerance just broke, causing my transformation to Super Saiya-jin."
"3 years from that time I fought the androids again and lost. Mom made a time machine so I could travel back into time to change the events of this time. I went back in time twenty- three years, three years from the androids arrival. My mission was to give Goku his heart medicine and return to this time which I did, but Goku asked me to come back in three years to help fight the androids."
"I went back home to see if things had changed, however, they didn't. I went back to the past to help defeat the androids. Apparently the androids were there and stronger than ever, we did not stand a chance. Goku was at home be tended to by Chi Chi and Yamchua. The androids defeated us but that was the least of our worries, we had to hide Goku until he recovered and worry about another enemy named Cell.
Cell came from the future, apparently He killed me in another timeline, hi jacked my machine, and came back a year ahead of when I arrived. Traveling to the past I made three different timelines. The androids were created to destroy Goku, but Cell was created to absorb the androids to reach his perfect form."
Thalia and Aioshi were shock and confused. The two was shocked by time travel but confused by the timelines and what not. They jus chose to listen to find out more.
"Anyway Goku finally came to. Sensing what was going on, he decided to take us to a room where we could train for a year in one day. My father and I went in first and came out stronger then ever. While Goku and Gohan went in the room, father and I went to fight Cell and the androids. Cell already absorbed one android. Father was beaten the crap out of him. Since he wanted another challenge he decided to let Cell absorb the other android."
"After Cell absorbed the android he quickly defeated father. I challenged Cell because I felt I was stronger than my father was. I was actually, but Cell taught me a very important lesson that day. I may have been stronger than my father , but he had speed and the agility while I sacrificed the two for power. Every great warrior knows that something you can't do. In this state, I had more power than Cell but I couldn't hit him. I gave up knowing it was over but he decided to have a tournament in ten days."
"The reason for this tournament was so he could fight Goku and win. During those ten days, we had numerous fights. This brings me to the person who destroyed your planet. His name is Brolly, he is actually the legendary Super Saiya-jin."
Thalia and Aioshi gasped in shock. They came all this way to find Goku, Who they thought was the Legendary Super Saiya- Jin, only to find out that the guy who annihilated there world was.
Chi Chi looked at the two aliens then directed her attention to Trunks. He knew a question was coming just by the quizzical look on her face.
"Trunks, if I'm guessing correct you guys defeated Brolly, did you not?"
"Yes we did, but it was not an easy task."
Thalia finally snapped out of trance. She thought that all hope was lost, however, when Trunks said he was killed in the other timeline the glimmer hope that she once had returned
"Trunks, how was he defeated? I'm curious to as how you guys managed to beat him?"
Trunks looked up to the sky and started to smile "The reason we left that planet alive was because of Goku. Everybody was down and out, Brolly dispatched of us rather quickly. Goku, for some reason wouldn't stay down he kept fighting. Since the rest of us were unable to fight we gave our energy to Goku and well he used to destroy Brolly. I guess that is the story in a nut shell."
Bulma was a little unease about the whole situation. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and the others were dead. That meant if Brolly came to earth Trunks might not be able to win. She lost many loved ones but she could not see her life with out Trunks, she just could not see it.
********************************************************
Back on Grand Kai's Planet
The tournament was over and the warriors that had attended were heading back to their quarters. Goku, Goten and the rest of the gang stood before Grand Kai waiting for him to announce officially that he would train Goten in 200 years.
"That was a freaking awesome fight Goten, you really are good, that you are. I hereby declare to train Son Goten in 200 Hundred years."
Goten smiled in the famous Son grin showing his excitement about the news he just received.
"Did you here that guys I'm going to train with Grand Kai, how cool is that?"
"That is very cool Goten" Tien stated.
"Goten looked at his dad with a smile on his face "Hey dad can I stay here to train with Gohan and the others"
Waiting for his father response he was sure that the answer would be yes, His father was a nice person and besides it was nothing left for his father to teach him. Goku looked at Goten hard. Finally, he smiled and politely said "No."
Goten was shocked. He expect a yes from his father now all the young Saiya- jin wanted was in explanation. He was sure that his father had one.
"Why not?"
"You're going home that's why"
Now confused he decided to find out what Goku was talking about
"What do you mean dad by I'm going home"
"Earth of course. You're going home to Earth."
Everybody gasped at what Goku just said. Goten was left speechless. Something hit Tien, how was he going to get back to earth?
"Goku How is that possible? The dragon balls disappeared when the androids killed Piccolo"
"True Tien, however, the Dragon balls on the planet Namek didn't get destroyed. All we needed to do is ask King Kai can he assist us with his telepathic link so we can ask the Nameks for a wish to wish Goten back."
Yamucha was finally happy he thought there was a chance for him and the others to be brought back until Goku said, "The rest of you don't get your hopes up, we can't be brought back to life."
Piccolo stepped up to explain to the others why they could not be brought back to life. "The reason why we can't be brought back is because all of us have been dead for 20 plus years."
Krillin said, "Yeah but so has Goten. How will Goku bring him back?"
Goku decided to jump in the conversation "I plan on asking master Roshi if he's willing to exchange his life with Goten. That will be the first wish. The second wish will be to restore master Roshi's life again. And the last and final wish will be to teleport Goten back to earth."
"Dad, I thought you said we couldn't be brought back because we've been dead for seven years, but if your going to ask Roshi for that favor that means it is possible all of us to be brought back to life."
"Well your right Gohan I guess we all could do that, but I think we should remain here. We all had a chance to live in the realm of the living Goten didn't. I think we should stay in the after life to train and save that option for when a threat appears that Trunks and Goten can't handle. If you want to go back Gohan I can include you into the wish."
Gohan slump his shoulders in defeat he wanted to go back so bad, but the love of his life was probably dead. Gohan promised himself that he would go to heaven and search for Videl, but he got side tracked with training and the others. He decided to stay.
"No dad, that won't be necessary I will stay"
"Gohan if you're staying because you think Videl is dead, then you shouldn't be here."
"What! She's Still Alive!!!!!!!" Gohan could not believe it
"Yea Gohan and Pan is a gorgeous little girl."
Everybody was curious now at Goku's last statement.
"Dad Who is Pan" Gohan Asked with a lost expression.
"you mean you don't know, Gohan she's your daughter."
Simultaneously everybody said "What" Nobody except Goku, King Kai, and Piccolo, thanks to his fusion with Kami knew that Gohan had a daughter. Gohan was speechless. A normal reaction for a guy who just found out that he had a daughter. Gohan spoke up
"How old is she?" Gohan begin to tear up. He was a father was could think about. He kind of felt bad that he wasn't there for Videl and Pan. He died before ever knowing he had a little girl.
"She's eight years old. Don't worry Gohan you can go back if you want the offer still stands." Goku looked at his son waiting for a response. Gohan looked up with a serious look then walked up to his little brother.
"Goten, Promise me that you will take care of Pan and Videl for me, until I decide to come back that is. I think I should stay here and train some more, so when I do return and a threat appears, I won't let down the ones I love."
Goten looked at his elder brother and told him "Don't worry I will take care of her you have my word."
Goku walked over to King Kai to ask his favor "King Kai can I Talk to master Roshi it is important, after that patch me through to the eldest Namek."
The blue catfish looking Kai agreed to do so. He already knew what Goku wanted to do. He had ease dropped on the conversation between the Z warriors. He had a suggesting about Goku's plan. He thought his idea would benefit Earth so hey lay it on Goku .
"Um Goku I know what your trying to do and I'm all for it, but I do have a suggestion?"
"What is King Kai" Goku asked with interest
"Well Goku there are two types of Namekians: Warriors and Healers. Some healers have the power to create the dragon balls. I just thought it would be best for the earth if you asked a Namek who had that kind of power to be the new Kami of earth."
Piccolo over heard thanks to his large ears and decide to refer a Namek who was perfect for the job. "I know some body that fits the description. Ask Dende Goku, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"OK I will, Thanks Piccolo"
Goku was now ready to speak to his long time master, and father figure. He was now ready to talk to Roshi.
********************************************
Back at Capsule Corp.
It was around 10pm Roshi and Chi Chi decided it would be best to stay the night. Still in the living Room, Everybody was just sitting around listen to Thalia and Aioshi discussed their home world and how their lives were before Brolly appeared. A voice interrupted the discussion
"Hey master Roshi are you there," The voice said
Roshi Roshi was not to sure if he should say anything. Everybody else was looking around for thevoice. The voice repeated its last statement. Chi Chi heart was pounding. She recognized that voice how could she not. She was sure it was Goku , she just knew it.
Chi Chi screamed in joy "Goku , is it really you?
"Yea Chi Chi it's me. It's good to here your voice again. Chi Chi I miss you so much."
Chi Chi started to get teary eyed. She has waited for so long to here his voice again. This was a dream come true. Here husband was talking to her from the great beyond.
"Chi Chi don't take this offensive but I kind of need to speak to Master Roshi. Actually, this involves everybody even the two who came from the southern galaxy looking for me, so listen up. Master Roshi I need a favor from you. It is crazy to ask you this just let me explain."
"My boy whatever it is go ahead and ask already"
"Ok Master I need you to give up your life temporarily. "
Roshi Eyes flew out of his head when heard this. Trunks and Bulma along with everybody else could not believe what Goku was saying. Roshi Looked up to the sky and screamed "ARE YOU CRAZY! NO WAAAAAYYYYYYY" Bulma decided to keep a level head. Goku was asking this favor for a reason she thought it was best to her him out.
"Goku why do you want Roshi to give up his life"
"Not give it up just swap it. I ask this because it is the only way to bring back Goten. You're all probably wondering Goten is and I will explain. Chi Chi, do you remember how you was pregnant, but miscarried when the android attacked the city that you Gohan went shopping in.
I asked Lord Emma if I could train Goten and being that I saved the earth and the universe he said yes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that your're going to get a chance to know your second son. Since He has been dead for 21 years, I need somebody who wants to sacrifice their life force so he can be brought back.
Trunks had to ask Goku something that was bugging him his whole life "Goku you might not know me but..." Goku interrupted "Of course I know who you are Trunks, What do you want to ask me ?"
"Well Goku it's about my dad. Did he go to heaven or hell?"
"I'm sorry Trunks, but because of what he did in his past he was sent to the Home For Infinite Losers. Don't worry yourself about Vegeta He's doing find and is very proud of you though he won't ever admit it."
"Well Anyway, Master do me this favor it's not like your going to stay dead."
Roshi wanted to know what in tarnations was Goku talking about. Did he forget that the Dragon balls were no more? "Goku how do you plan on bring me back to life?"
"With the Namekian balls of course. I'm going to have the Nameks gather the balls so I can have them ask Prounga to switch you and Goten's Life Force, then I'm going to wish you back to life with the second wish, and with the third wish I'm going to wish Goten and Dende to Kami's peak."
Roshi saw that Goku plan was full proof and agreed to participate.
Trunks recognized that name, fore Dende was the guarding of earth in the other timeline. This meant that the earth would have Dragon balls again he was happy about the news. Trunks was curious about this Goten, he wondered if he had reached level two, after all he was training with Goku his whole life. No matter he wouldn't be alone anymore he now has three potential friends.
"Well guys I'm about to talk to the Namekian Elder, I will be in contact with you guys. Get some sleep ya'll have very big day ahead of you."
Thalia couldn't believe one of the most feared men in the universe ever was talking to his family and friend, even though he was dead. She had to say something she just had to ask him about something.
"Excuse me sir" Sounding a little timid "I just want to know do you know anything about Brolly?"
"Actually that is why I decided to revive Goten. Trunks is strong but he can't win this battle alone. With the help of Goten these two would be virtually invincible. Besides Trunks is still trying to reach level two, as well as Goten. Brolly is at Ultra Super Saiya-jin 2. That means hard and rigorous training, nothing the two of you can't handle. Anyhow, all you should really get some sleep.
I will be talking to you all soon. I almost Forgot Chi Chi, I know you felt like life wasn't fair to you because Gohan and I died, but trust me it's about to get a lot better, a whole lot better. Well Gohan , Krillin, Tien, Yamchua and Piccolo send their love. bye, talk to you later."
Roshi smiled at what Goku said. He was happy at the fact that all of his students are together. He was very happy. Bulma was happy at the fact that everybody was together, however, Vegeta was stuck HFIL. Knowing this made her feel sad. Aioshi was still in awe at the fact that a dead guy was talking to them. He thought he had seen everything but this took the cake.
Bulma thought it would be best for everybody to go to bed like Goku suggested, after all it was getting late. She had Trunks assign Aioshi and Thalia their rooms. The two was directly across the hall from each other. Chi Chi and mater Roshi all ready had a room in the house for many years now.
Roshi was in his room looking at the playboy channel. He had his door look so nobody would walk is his room unannounced. Thalia just laid on her bed looking up at the ceiling. Chi was getting ready to go to bed she couldn't be happier in her life. She wasn't sure she would be able to sleep. The woman was going to meet her Second child for the first time.
Aioshi was doing the same thing as Thaila, however, he was thinking of his family. He missed them so much and he couldn't wait to get his crack at Brolly. He would make the guy pay. Trunks, however, was in the gravity room training. He stopped and stood in the center of the room looking at the ground. His shirt was drenched with sweat as well his hair. Trunks fist was clenched at his side, he just kept looking at the ground.
"Ultra Super Saiya-jin 2? No wonder it took everything we had to defeat Brolly. My goal was to reach level two, but all that has changed. If there is a level two then there has to be a level three, and from this day forth I will not be satisfied until I reach it." With and evil smirk Trunks lifted his head and looked straight ahead. "And the son of Vegeta will reach it."
In the large Capsule Corp. vessel, which could seat about twenty, Roshi, Chi Chi and Bulma headed directly to the coordinates Trunks had giving them. It seems that the sun had just gotten off of work and the moon was preparing to start its shift. Master Roshi leant in from his chair to where Bulma was at piloting the plane to ask
"Hey Bulma, How long until we arrive"
Bulma responded in an angry tone "We'll get there, when we get there. Sit back and stop bugging me, you could have stayed home you know."
"Sure I could have but, I rather deal with the two of you then Launch any day"
Chi Chi misinterpreted the statement thinking master Roshi was insulting both her and Bulma. She glared at the old man, he knew then that he had to find something to say before Chi Chi slaps him out of the plane. The image of Chi Chi smacking him out the plane distracted him for two seconds then he snapped out of it to say something so Chi Chi wouldn't feel offended.
"Chi Chi I didn't mean it the way you think. What I meant to say was that I enjoy spending time with you and Bulma. Chi Chi please don't hit me?
Chi Chi looked at the old man and smiled "I wasn't going to hit you old man actually I agree with you. Launch can be angry at times but what can you expect from a person with split personality."
Bulma and Master Roshi looked at each other as if they agreed on the fact that Chi Chi shouldn't be talking. When it came to anger, no woman on the planet could compare to Mrs. Son, not even Launch. Roshi and Bulma agreed; however, they laughed while doing so.
Bulma look at her navigational star to see her location. According to the device in the plane, Trunk's was only a mile away.
"We're only a mile off, we should be there in under a minute"
Master Roshi was the first to see Trunk's, he also spotted the ship and the two people that was with Trunks.
"There he is!!!!! Put the plain down by that ship Bulma"
"Ok, just let me align the plane so I won't hit that space ship"
The plane was now on the ground. Bulma shut the plane off; she and the rest of the gang were preparing to exit. Finally, they begin exiting the plane. the first to exit the plane was Roshi, then Chi Chi, and finally Bulma. Trunk was delighted to see the Trio.
"Mom, Master Roshi, and Mrs. Chi Chi you guys made it."
"Of course son did you think we wouldn't?"
"No that's not it mom I'm just happy to see you guys"
"Well were happy to see you to son"
Chi Chi coughed twice. This display was for Trunks to introduce his two friends to the group. Trunks took notice and knew what he had to do.
"Let me introduce you guys, Thalia and Aioshi this is my mother, you can call her Bulma, that's Chi Chi, Goku's wife, and that's master Roshi."
Thalia was trying to figure out what Trunks was pointing at. Trunk's realized that Roshi had left from his spot Thalia felt something holding her hand, when she looked down there was a drooling Roshi. The vein on both Bulma Chi Chi vein was visible. In a single instant "SLAP!!!! Was all that was heard throughout the desert region.
Holding the back of his head, the turtle hermit was on the ground groveling.
"That's what you get for being a dirty old man"
Bulma added "You should be a shame of yourself"
Roshi, still on the ground, quickly stated that he was sorry for doing what he did. After his apology everybody had a laugh except for Lia and Oshi, They didn't know what everybody was laughing at. Changing the subject, Trunks face got serious; he looked at Bulma
"Mom, did you bring the capsule converter"
Bulma replied "Yes. It's in the air craft, why don't you go get it."
With that, Trunks flew of to retrieve the item that his mother had told him to get. Trunks returned with a capsule that read NO.320. He pressed the button and threw the capsule to the ground. Oshi and Lia were amazed to see an object come from this small unit.
The invention that made the Briefs the richest family on the planet was now sitting before them. In all honesty, one might mistake it for a car engine; however, there is a compartment to place capsules and two jumper cable looking wires coming from the side.
Trunk's grabs the wire on the left side and latches it on to the spacecraft while Bulma latches the right wire. After connecting the wires, Bulma sat on the ground to type on the computer, which was hooked up to the capsule converter. Before she can convert it she has to input the correct data about the ship starting from its length, width, and weight amongst other things. She needs this data so when the spacecraft is transported in to the capsule; it is able to return to its normal size upon release.
After a minute of inputting the information, Bulma hits the enter key. The spacecraft lights up then in an instant, it is in the capsule that dejected from the slot. The machine that Bulma had was the original one that her father created. When Capsule Corp. first started that was the only machine, but now there are hundreds of capsule converters in various factories branches all over the world.
The way Capsule Corp. makes its money is by converting items for other companies such as: Car companies, real estate, aircraft, and every other company that produce large objects. Capsule Corp. also produces its own products.
When the conversion finished, Bulma decided to hand Lia the capsule.
"Here you go" Bulma handed to her with a smile
Looking shocked Thalia asked "What did you do to my ship?"
"Nothing except transported it into that capsule. Don't worry your ship is perfectly normal. All you have to do is press the button at the top and throw it to the ground and it will open. A button will appear on the side, so if you want to turn it back in to its capsule form all you have to do is press it."
"Amazing, I didn't know that this sort of technology existed."
Aioshi added, "That is so cool"
Chi Chi looked at the sky and felt it was time that they leave, the sun was already down.
"Hey Bulma its getting dark I think we should leave and head back to your place"
Bulma replied "You're right we should be going. Ok everybody get in the aircraft were heading back to my house." Thalia looked a little reluctant to trust these people, but she went with her gut instant. Aioshi on the other hand chose to follow by flying. Trunks decided to follow the kid.
The plane had no trouble getting off of the ground. As it raced towards Capsule Corp, with Trunks and Aioshi in pursuit, Ms. Briefs decided to start a conversation with the young girl.
"How are you?" Thalia thought it best to be nice and polite "Could be better but ok for the time being." Bulma was curious she had to dig deeper if she wanted to get this girl to warm up to her.
"So you came all the way here from space, mind if I ask why?"
"I came here to find the legendary Super Saiya-jin"
"You came here for Trunks?"
"No actually I came here looking for the Saiya-jin that defeated Freezer. Trunks told me he died about 22 years ago."
Chi Chi knew whom this girl was referring to; it was her Goku. What Chi Chi wanted to know is why was she looking for Goku?
"May I ask why are you looking for my husband?"
"Well Mrs., not to long ago my planet was attacked by a warrior. His strength was extreme even by Furiza standards. My father once told me that the Super Sayia-jin who took down the Cold Empire was the strongest warrior in the universe. "
Master Roshi was still rubbing his head from the double whammy that Chi Chi & Bulma laid on him. It was clear to Roshi why she came to this planet. She needed help and Goku was her best shot; however, Roshi knew how strong Goku was before he died and Trunks was much stronger. Seeing that she felt all hope was lose Roshi decided to cheer her up
"Don't get too down after all Trunks is stronger then Goku was before he died. So you didn't make the trip for nothing."
Thalia was shocked when she heard what the old man had said. How could Trunks be stronger then the legend? How could this old man know? she didn't want to believe him. She looked at him furiously and shot back
"How would you know?"
"I know a lot of things. I know your planet was destroyed, you found that little boy hiding behind your ship, and you and the boy are the only survivors of your planet." Everybody on the plane gasped. Chi Chi and Bulma was shocked that her planet was destroyed; however, the girl was shocked at the fact that he knew those things.
"But how did you know that?"
"Minds are like books, they're easy to read. The reason I said Trunks is stronger is because I can read ki signatures. Trunks also has that ability."
Bulma looked dead ahead and shouted out "We're here !" She landed in the back where the helipad was at, Trunks and Aioshi was already on the ground. When everybody was off, Bulma hit the button on the side and put the capsule back in her capsule holder case. The group headed towards the large compound. Bulma decided to be polite and ask
"Are you two hungry? We have a lot of food."
Thalia smiled at Bulma and politely said no. Thalia was amazed at how big the compound was. She had never been in a place like this before; she was impressed. Aioshi was also impressed, even though he would never admit it. He was use to living in a rural area much like Chi Chi Mt. Paozou hide away.
Bulma walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down, Chi Chi and Roshi followed. Trunks decided to stand up. He felt this would be best since he was going to tell Thalia and Aioshi more about the warrior who had attacked their planet. Trunks ordered them to sit on the love seat so he could start his story.
"You all are probably wondering why I'm standing, well I'm about to tell a story that know body has heard before. To get Aioshi and Thalia up to speed I must go through the story of my past. You two must know that my tale isn't for the faint of hearts. You see about 20 years ago, androids appeared and destroyed this planet. Brave warriors such as Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Yamchua, Gohan, and Vegeta my father fought and lost to those bio genetic Androids.
The only one to survive that battle was Gohan, Goku's son. You see Goku didn't get to fight in that battle because he had a heart attack a year prior to their arrival. 13 years later, the androids were still reckon havoc on the earth. Gohan was a Super Saiya-jin at the time, I was not. We fought those androids but in the end, it was not enough.
Thalia found Trunks story very interesting. She decided to ask Trunks a question.
"Trunks, you said Vegeta was your father. I remember him coming to my planet when I was four looking for the one you all call Goku. He wanted to become a Super Saiya-jin so bad it seemed to me, did he?"
"Yes, but it didn't matter the Androids still killed him. like I was saying.... One day the androids decided to attack the capital. Gohan and I was going to fight, but he knocked me out so I wouldn't fight. When I came to, I flew to the city only to find Gohan lying in the street dead."
A tear came to Chi Chi eye for that was the day she lost her baby to those monsters. Thalia was absorbing all this information. She felt sorry for Trunks. He was forced to grow up before he ever had a childhood. She listened as Trunks continued his tale.
"When I saw Gohan lay lifeless on that cold rubble, something in me just snapped. Suddenly I didn't care if I lived or died, I didn't care about anything. All I felt was anger, rage, and in an instant the barrier of tolerance just broke, causing my transformation to Super Saiya-jin."
"3 years from that time I fought the androids again and lost. Mom made a time machine so I could travel back into time to change the events of this time. I went back in time twenty- three years, three years from the androids arrival. My mission was to give Goku his heart medicine and return to this time which I did, but Goku asked me to come back in three years to help fight the androids."
"I went back home to see if things had changed, however, they didn't. I went back to the past to help defeat the androids. Apparently the androids were there and stronger than ever, we did not stand a chance. Goku was at home be tended to by Chi Chi and Yamchua. The androids defeated us but that was the least of our worries, we had to hide Goku until he recovered and worry about another enemy named Cell.
Cell came from the future, apparently He killed me in another timeline, hi jacked my machine, and came back a year ahead of when I arrived. Traveling to the past I made three different timelines. The androids were created to destroy Goku, but Cell was created to absorb the androids to reach his perfect form."
Thalia and Aioshi were shock and confused. The two was shocked by time travel but confused by the timelines and what not. They jus chose to listen to find out more.
"Anyway Goku finally came to. Sensing what was going on, he decided to take us to a room where we could train for a year in one day. My father and I went in first and came out stronger then ever. While Goku and Gohan went in the room, father and I went to fight Cell and the androids. Cell already absorbed one android. Father was beaten the crap out of him. Since he wanted another challenge he decided to let Cell absorb the other android."
"After Cell absorbed the android he quickly defeated father. I challenged Cell because I felt I was stronger than my father was. I was actually, but Cell taught me a very important lesson that day. I may have been stronger than my father , but he had speed and the agility while I sacrificed the two for power. Every great warrior knows that something you can't do. In this state, I had more power than Cell but I couldn't hit him. I gave up knowing it was over but he decided to have a tournament in ten days."
"The reason for this tournament was so he could fight Goku and win. During those ten days, we had numerous fights. This brings me to the person who destroyed your planet. His name is Brolly, he is actually the legendary Super Saiya-jin."
Thalia and Aioshi gasped in shock. They came all this way to find Goku, Who they thought was the Legendary Super Saiya- Jin, only to find out that the guy who annihilated there world was.
Chi Chi looked at the two aliens then directed her attention to Trunks. He knew a question was coming just by the quizzical look on her face.
"Trunks, if I'm guessing correct you guys defeated Brolly, did you not?"
"Yes we did, but it was not an easy task."
Thalia finally snapped out of trance. She thought that all hope was lost, however, when Trunks said he was killed in the other timeline the glimmer hope that she once had returned
"Trunks, how was he defeated? I'm curious to as how you guys managed to beat him?"
Trunks looked up to the sky and started to smile "The reason we left that planet alive was because of Goku. Everybody was down and out, Brolly dispatched of us rather quickly. Goku, for some reason wouldn't stay down he kept fighting. Since the rest of us were unable to fight we gave our energy to Goku and well he used to destroy Brolly. I guess that is the story in a nut shell."
Bulma was a little unease about the whole situation. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and the others were dead. That meant if Brolly came to earth Trunks might not be able to win. She lost many loved ones but she could not see her life with out Trunks, she just could not see it.
********************************************************
Back on Grand Kai's Planet
The tournament was over and the warriors that had attended were heading back to their quarters. Goku, Goten and the rest of the gang stood before Grand Kai waiting for him to announce officially that he would train Goten in 200 years.
"That was a freaking awesome fight Goten, you really are good, that you are. I hereby declare to train Son Goten in 200 Hundred years."
Goten smiled in the famous Son grin showing his excitement about the news he just received.
"Did you here that guys I'm going to train with Grand Kai, how cool is that?"
"That is very cool Goten" Tien stated.
"Goten looked at his dad with a smile on his face "Hey dad can I stay here to train with Gohan and the others"
Waiting for his father response he was sure that the answer would be yes, His father was a nice person and besides it was nothing left for his father to teach him. Goku looked at Goten hard. Finally, he smiled and politely said "No."
Goten was shocked. He expect a yes from his father now all the young Saiya- jin wanted was in explanation. He was sure that his father had one.
"Why not?"
"You're going home that's why"
Now confused he decided to find out what Goku was talking about
"What do you mean dad by I'm going home"
"Earth of course. You're going home to Earth."
Everybody gasped at what Goku just said. Goten was left speechless. Something hit Tien, how was he going to get back to earth?
"Goku How is that possible? The dragon balls disappeared when the androids killed Piccolo"
"True Tien, however, the Dragon balls on the planet Namek didn't get destroyed. All we needed to do is ask King Kai can he assist us with his telepathic link so we can ask the Nameks for a wish to wish Goten back."
Yamucha was finally happy he thought there was a chance for him and the others to be brought back until Goku said, "The rest of you don't get your hopes up, we can't be brought back to life."
Piccolo stepped up to explain to the others why they could not be brought back to life. "The reason why we can't be brought back is because all of us have been dead for 20 plus years."
Krillin said, "Yeah but so has Goten. How will Goku bring him back?"
Goku decided to jump in the conversation "I plan on asking master Roshi if he's willing to exchange his life with Goten. That will be the first wish. The second wish will be to restore master Roshi's life again. And the last and final wish will be to teleport Goten back to earth."
"Dad, I thought you said we couldn't be brought back because we've been dead for seven years, but if your going to ask Roshi for that favor that means it is possible all of us to be brought back to life."
"Well your right Gohan I guess we all could do that, but I think we should remain here. We all had a chance to live in the realm of the living Goten didn't. I think we should stay in the after life to train and save that option for when a threat appears that Trunks and Goten can't handle. If you want to go back Gohan I can include you into the wish."
Gohan slump his shoulders in defeat he wanted to go back so bad, but the love of his life was probably dead. Gohan promised himself that he would go to heaven and search for Videl, but he got side tracked with training and the others. He decided to stay.
"No dad, that won't be necessary I will stay"
"Gohan if you're staying because you think Videl is dead, then you shouldn't be here."
"What! She's Still Alive!!!!!!!" Gohan could not believe it
"Yea Gohan and Pan is a gorgeous little girl."
Everybody was curious now at Goku's last statement.
"Dad Who is Pan" Gohan Asked with a lost expression.
"you mean you don't know, Gohan she's your daughter."
Simultaneously everybody said "What" Nobody except Goku, King Kai, and Piccolo, thanks to his fusion with Kami knew that Gohan had a daughter. Gohan was speechless. A normal reaction for a guy who just found out that he had a daughter. Gohan spoke up
"How old is she?" Gohan begin to tear up. He was a father was could think about. He kind of felt bad that he wasn't there for Videl and Pan. He died before ever knowing he had a little girl.
"She's eight years old. Don't worry Gohan you can go back if you want the offer still stands." Goku looked at his son waiting for a response. Gohan looked up with a serious look then walked up to his little brother.
"Goten, Promise me that you will take care of Pan and Videl for me, until I decide to come back that is. I think I should stay here and train some more, so when I do return and a threat appears, I won't let down the ones I love."
Goten looked at his elder brother and told him "Don't worry I will take care of her you have my word."
Goku walked over to King Kai to ask his favor "King Kai can I Talk to master Roshi it is important, after that patch me through to the eldest Namek."
The blue catfish looking Kai agreed to do so. He already knew what Goku wanted to do. He had ease dropped on the conversation between the Z warriors. He had a suggesting about Goku's plan. He thought his idea would benefit Earth so hey lay it on Goku .
"Um Goku I know what your trying to do and I'm all for it, but I do have a suggestion?"
"What is King Kai" Goku asked with interest
"Well Goku there are two types of Namekians: Warriors and Healers. Some healers have the power to create the dragon balls. I just thought it would be best for the earth if you asked a Namek who had that kind of power to be the new Kami of earth."
Piccolo over heard thanks to his large ears and decide to refer a Namek who was perfect for the job. "I know some body that fits the description. Ask Dende Goku, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"OK I will, Thanks Piccolo"
Goku was now ready to speak to his long time master, and father figure. He was now ready to talk to Roshi.
********************************************
Back at Capsule Corp.
It was around 10pm Roshi and Chi Chi decided it would be best to stay the night. Still in the living Room, Everybody was just sitting around listen to Thalia and Aioshi discussed their home world and how their lives were before Brolly appeared. A voice interrupted the discussion
"Hey master Roshi are you there," The voice said
Roshi Roshi was not to sure if he should say anything. Everybody else was looking around for thevoice. The voice repeated its last statement. Chi Chi heart was pounding. She recognized that voice how could she not. She was sure it was Goku , she just knew it.
Chi Chi screamed in joy "Goku , is it really you?
"Yea Chi Chi it's me. It's good to here your voice again. Chi Chi I miss you so much."
Chi Chi started to get teary eyed. She has waited for so long to here his voice again. This was a dream come true. Here husband was talking to her from the great beyond.
"Chi Chi don't take this offensive but I kind of need to speak to Master Roshi. Actually, this involves everybody even the two who came from the southern galaxy looking for me, so listen up. Master Roshi I need a favor from you. It is crazy to ask you this just let me explain."
"My boy whatever it is go ahead and ask already"
"Ok Master I need you to give up your life temporarily. "
Roshi Eyes flew out of his head when heard this. Trunks and Bulma along with everybody else could not believe what Goku was saying. Roshi Looked up to the sky and screamed "ARE YOU CRAZY! NO WAAAAAYYYYYYY" Bulma decided to keep a level head. Goku was asking this favor for a reason she thought it was best to her him out.
"Goku why do you want Roshi to give up his life"
"Not give it up just swap it. I ask this because it is the only way to bring back Goten. You're all probably wondering Goten is and I will explain. Chi Chi, do you remember how you was pregnant, but miscarried when the android attacked the city that you Gohan went shopping in.
I asked Lord Emma if I could train Goten and being that I saved the earth and the universe he said yes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that your're going to get a chance to know your second son. Since He has been dead for 21 years, I need somebody who wants to sacrifice their life force so he can be brought back.
Trunks had to ask Goku something that was bugging him his whole life "Goku you might not know me but..." Goku interrupted "Of course I know who you are Trunks, What do you want to ask me ?"
"Well Goku it's about my dad. Did he go to heaven or hell?"
"I'm sorry Trunks, but because of what he did in his past he was sent to the Home For Infinite Losers. Don't worry yourself about Vegeta He's doing find and is very proud of you though he won't ever admit it."
"Well Anyway, Master do me this favor it's not like your going to stay dead."
Roshi wanted to know what in tarnations was Goku talking about. Did he forget that the Dragon balls were no more? "Goku how do you plan on bring me back to life?"
"With the Namekian balls of course. I'm going to have the Nameks gather the balls so I can have them ask Prounga to switch you and Goten's Life Force, then I'm going to wish you back to life with the second wish, and with the third wish I'm going to wish Goten and Dende to Kami's peak."
Roshi saw that Goku plan was full proof and agreed to participate.
Trunks recognized that name, fore Dende was the guarding of earth in the other timeline. This meant that the earth would have Dragon balls again he was happy about the news. Trunks was curious about this Goten, he wondered if he had reached level two, after all he was training with Goku his whole life. No matter he wouldn't be alone anymore he now has three potential friends.
"Well guys I'm about to talk to the Namekian Elder, I will be in contact with you guys. Get some sleep ya'll have very big day ahead of you."
Thalia couldn't believe one of the most feared men in the universe ever was talking to his family and friend, even though he was dead. She had to say something she just had to ask him about something.
"Excuse me sir" Sounding a little timid "I just want to know do you know anything about Brolly?"
"Actually that is why I decided to revive Goten. Trunks is strong but he can't win this battle alone. With the help of Goten these two would be virtually invincible. Besides Trunks is still trying to reach level two, as well as Goten. Brolly is at Ultra Super Saiya-jin 2. That means hard and rigorous training, nothing the two of you can't handle. Anyhow, all you should really get some sleep.
I will be talking to you all soon. I almost Forgot Chi Chi, I know you felt like life wasn't fair to you because Gohan and I died, but trust me it's about to get a lot better, a whole lot better. Well Gohan , Krillin, Tien, Yamchua and Piccolo send their love. bye, talk to you later."
Roshi smiled at what Goku said. He was happy at the fact that all of his students are together. He was very happy. Bulma was happy at the fact that everybody was together, however, Vegeta was stuck HFIL. Knowing this made her feel sad. Aioshi was still in awe at the fact that a dead guy was talking to them. He thought he had seen everything but this took the cake.
Bulma thought it would be best for everybody to go to bed like Goku suggested, after all it was getting late. She had Trunks assign Aioshi and Thalia their rooms. The two was directly across the hall from each other. Chi Chi and mater Roshi all ready had a room in the house for many years now.
Roshi was in his room looking at the playboy channel. He had his door look so nobody would walk is his room unannounced. Thalia just laid on her bed looking up at the ceiling. Chi was getting ready to go to bed she couldn't be happier in her life. She wasn't sure she would be able to sleep. The woman was going to meet her Second child for the first time.
Aioshi was doing the same thing as Thaila, however, he was thinking of his family. He missed them so much and he couldn't wait to get his crack at Brolly. He would make the guy pay. Trunks, however, was in the gravity room training. He stopped and stood in the center of the room looking at the ground. His shirt was drenched with sweat as well his hair. Trunks fist was clenched at his side, he just kept looking at the ground.
"Ultra Super Saiya-jin 2? No wonder it took everything we had to defeat Brolly. My goal was to reach level two, but all that has changed. If there is a level two then there has to be a level three, and from this day forth I will not be satisfied until I reach it." With and evil smirk Trunks lifted his head and looked straight ahead. "And the son of Vegeta will reach it."
