I don't own Dragonball Z or any anime shows; otherwise I'd probably be rich.
Chapter 8: SurprisesThe Z warriors keep a safe distance as they watch King Cold's ship make its landing. Piccolo notices two smaller ships but feels no danger.
"It's Frieza!" Vegeta says, trying to hide his fear and shock.
"Man I wish Goku were here," Krillin says.
"Well, well. Looks like a useless planet to me. What say you father?" Frieza speaks.
"I don't see why we landed. The better alternative would have been to destroy it from space," King Cold replies.
"I came to fight that monkey and obliterate him once and for all," Frieza informs.
(I hate calling Goku a monkey, but Frieza has to be in character.)
"Your fight is with me," says an unfamiliar voice.
"And who might you be?" Frieza interrogates.
"I am the one who will take you down," the mysterious person answers. (I'm sure you know who it is.)
Frieza and King Cold share a moment of evil laughter.
"You must be joking," Frieza chuckles.
"Sorry, I don't joke," ? retorts.
"Who is that?" Krillin asks.
"I've no clue," Gohan says.
"He's an idiot to be taking Frieza head on like that," states Vegeta.
As if there weren't enough surprises? Changes to have golden hair and green eyes.
"It can't be," stammers a now frightened Frieza. "He can't be Goku!"
Frieza charges up a large energy ball. "Die you miserable Saiyan.
"We're doomed," Krillin yells.
"Shut up!" Vegeta shouts, "You seem to be the only one saying anything."
"You're talking too you know," Krillin returns.
"Because I can," Vegeta finishes.
The still unnamed fighter stops the blast before impact.
"I believe you dropped something," he says and tosses it back.
Nearly a mile away, the heads of Jessie's and Cathy's original forms pop out of the sand.
"Some landing," Jessie says, dusting off her clothes.
"Yeah," Cathy agrees and shakes off the sand.
They look around the area.
"We gotta find Frieza," Jessie commands.
"He can't be too far from here," Cathy says.
They continue looking for any sign of life and Cathy finds a small lizard scurrying past her.
"Hey!" she says to it.
"You speak lizard?" the lizard questions.
"Yeah, I want to ask you a quick question, then you can continue doing…whatever."
The lizard tilts its head and blinks.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?"
"Well besides you talking to me, there's this giant thing that fell from above."
"Where, which direction?"
The lizard points with its tail.
"Thanks!" the girls yell in unison as they leave the lizard in the dust. The lizard coughs and continues to scurry.
The Colorless pair makes themselves invisible as they arrive upon the scene. They were just in time to see some guy wielding a sword destroying Frieza and his father.
"Looks like Frieza's been taken care of," Jessie says happily. Cathy just nods her head in approval.
Cathy and Jessie join the Z fighters in meeting Trunks, the mysterious Saiyan, however, the girls remain unseen and unnoticed. Trunks tells everyone when and where Goku will land. They all, some more patient than others, wait for the said arrival of the one they missed the most.
Two hours later, Gohan exclaims, "That guy was right. Look!"
Low and behold! A ship comes into view from the sky. Everyone stares with expectant eyes watching the ship make its landing. Gohan rushes to the edge of the new crater.
"Daddy!" he yells as Goku's hand grabs the outside wall of his vehicle.
"It's really him," Bulma says, her pupils sparkle with happiness.
After the large group greets Goku, Trunks singles Goku out for a private conversation.
"I can't miss this," Jessie announces to Cathy telepathically. "Let's go listen."
"If you say so, Jessie," Cathy returns.
Trunks informs Goku of his parents, Bulma and Vegeta. Goku's reaction is laughter. Then Trunks warns Goku of the Androids.
"No problem, we can handle them," is Goku's response.
"But not you. You die from a heart virus."
Goku is now upset. "Everyone dies in battle while I die from some stupid virus!"
Trunks nods his head and gives him the antidote.
"One more thing," he continues, "there are two girls. They should have arrived about the same time Frieza did."
"You mean the ones from Namek?" Goku gets excited. Trunks confirms.
"It's hard to tell where they are however. They could be right under our noses. They can disguise themselves as anything by shape shifting and it's impossible to feel their life force or energy."
"Are they evil or anything?" Goku asks impatiently.
"Uh…No…My dad told you that, huh?"
"I knew it!"
"Hey calm down. Just make sure it's you who introduces them and not my dad."
"Okay. I can do that."
"Don't forget…3 years from now."
"Don't worry. I'll remember."
"Should we make ourselves known?" Jessie asks.
"Sure, why not?"
"How will we do it quietly?"
Cathy kneels on the ground and etches a message to Goku in the dirt. Trunks is the first to notice. Goku looks down as well to see what caught his attention. The message reads, "GOKU MEET US HERE IN ONE HOUR."
"See what I mean by 'hard to tell where they are'?" Trunks reiterates.
"Yeah," Goku replies, looking defeated. "I didn't have a clue." Goku then begins to think deeply, "Hmmm…"
"What's up Goku?" Trunks questions.
"I'm trying to see if there's a way to get everyone else to here without Vegeta in one hour."
"I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind causing a distraction." Trunks suggests.
"Good idea." Goku looks at the area where he thinks Cathy and Jessie are. "Can you do that?"
Jessie draws a smile in the sand.
"I guess that's a 'yes'," Goku states.
"I gotta go," Trunks says.
"See ya," Goku waves.
Trunks enters his time capsule, waves to Bulma specifically, and returns to his time.
The new story I mentioned at the end of chapter seven will be the start of a new series. I'll call it The Chronicles of Téa. The stories of the series will have their own titles, but in the stories I'll leave a note that it's a part of The Chronicles of Téa. I like how that sounds, The Chronicles of Téa. Anyway, enjoy this story for now. I'll let you know when I post The Chronicles of Téa: Odd One Out.
