Disclaimer: HA you can't sue me now, coz I willingly state I don't own DBZ! It's a shame, but it's the truth.

Author's Note: I updated! See! I didn't forget this story even existed! Some things have/will change from now on. After thoroughly reading the last few chapters I realized I made a giant error. It seems I assumed that Legendary SSJs rise every 2000 years. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It should be 1000 years. Because I am very lazy, and really can't be asked to rewrite the whole thing, I didn't fix it. Instead I fixed it in another way. You see, just imagine there was another SSJ 1000 years ago, in between Caine and Brolly, who did die. During that time Caine was locked up, OK? Also I'm doing away with the Chapter (enter random number) thingy coz… well… I'm just doing away with it. Besides, it's confusing me. From now on, new chapters are known as Episodes. Get used to it. Oh and by the way, in case you didn't notice, I added stuff to Episode 2 so check that out.


Episode four: Preparations.
Last time…

Caine begins his period of rest and relaxation. Meanwhile on Earth, Goku and Uub have finished training. After promising to protect the world should anything happen, Uub leaves to join his family at his village. Goku returns home and is overwhelmed by his family members. He is forced to spend some quality time with them after not seeing them for years. Not that he minds that, but in the back of his head he can't forget about a certain person who swore revenge. Brolly leaves Earth in a spaceship 'borrowed' from Capsule Corp. He isn't taking his task lightly, he was told he might be given a second chance at life if he beat Caine, or at least he wouldn't be send back to the Home for Infinite Losers. As Caine was still pretty much alive, Brolly is going to look for him, but is this really such a bright idea?


"NO, I won't let you use my space ship! Now get out of my way!"

"Ow, please Vegeta! I'll only be away for a few months!"

"NO, NOW GET AWAY FROM ME!" Vegeta yells at Brolly before slamming the bathroom door shut. A few minutes into his shower the ground shakes violently and the loud roar of an engine is heard... An engine! In a matter of seconds Vegeta puts on some clothes and rushes outside to stare up at a Capsule Corp. space ship leaving the Earths atmosphere.

"Oh hey Vegeta, he said you wouldn't mind if I lend him your ship and-"

"WHAT! YOU GAVE HIM MY SHIP!" He yelles at Bulma, who isn't really shocked at his outburst. You get used to it after a while. After Vegeta continues his stream of insults she turns and walks away.

"Hm... the universe is a big place. Where do I start looking?" Brolly thinks while staring into the vacuum of space. "He probably went somewhere remote, somewhere we can't look. Let's pay a visit to the outer reaches of the universe." And he blasts off to the far reaches of space... in Vegeta's ship.


Caine has rested for several days before moving on. Finally, after 3 days of walking to preserve energy, he sees a rather large town. Earning stares he makes his way to what seems to be some sort of hotel.

"What is it with these people? Haven't they seen a Saiyan before!"

As he nears the hotel several aliens stroll over and look at him more closely.

"Guess they haven't" he grumbles under his breath. "What are you looking at?"

"I thought all you monkeys were dead, except for Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa!"

Silence...

"What did you call me! ... Monkey! Listen fool, just that I have a tail doesn't mean I'm... never mind." Caine says as he struggles to control himself. "Control yourself Caine. Don't get angry; just let them off... this time." But the aliens have different plans.

"Ha, you think you can strike such a tone at us! You need to be thought a lesson, monkey!" One of the aliens says. "We run the show here, and you'd better behave or else."

Caine's patience runs out and he grabs the alien and throws him up in the air, blasting him afterwards. "Anyone else who thinks he's tough!" They look on in shock as tiny pieces of alien whirl down from the sky. Saiyans were referred to as inferior creatures, but now one of them just blew away a soldier without even trying. A pretty strong soldier as well. Panic now striking, the aliens scatter in random directions in an attempt to get away. Caine lets them, knowing that destroying every one of them would cost to much effort right now. Instead he enters the hotel and drops on an empty bed in a random room. It doesn't take long for sleep to overpower him.


"My Lord, a Saiyan has been spotted on planet Genus and caused quite a scene. Some soldiers claim he destroyed a first class without any effort. They ask for assistance."

A cold and emotionless voice answers the soldier. "A Saiyan? Interesting, tell them I will send some elite troops to finish him. They are to keep him on the planet. Also remind them of my attitude towards failure. Those soldier who fled are to be executed, there is no room for cowards in my empire."

"Yes my Lord. It will be done as you say." With that the soldier walks off. As his Lord resettles himself on his throne he ponders the recent news. "A Saiyan... I wonder if it is the one who killed Kold and his sons. If he is, this could be quite interesting indeed."

Minutes later several space pods launch from the main hangar, carrying some of the most powerful fighters on the planet.


Meanwhile back on Earth…

Gohan is busy sparring with Goten while Goku watches from the sidelines. They'd been practicing on a weekly basis since the whole Caine incident, much to Chi-Chi's dismay. Goku can still feel the lump on his head he received when he told her they were going to train for a potential fight. That frying pan sure packs a punch, even with his super powers. Spotting an error in Goten's technique he rights himself when suddenly he feels a familiar energy land behind him.

"Hey there Piccolo, long time no see!" He cheerfully starts.

"Judging from the size off that lump it took you quite some trouble to get permission for this little sparring session, Goku." The tall green alien states, at which Goku grins sheepishly while he scratches the back of his head.

"You judge right. Anyway, what brings you here? Did you come to spar with us?"

"I'm not that crazy Goku, just wanted to let you know Brolly went out to look for him. You know what that means don't you?" Picollo says as he watches the two brothers continue their spar after a quick transformation to Super Saiyan. Goku's expression quickly turns serious at hearing this.

"He's only just been sent back and now he's going to get himself killed? He might have been our enemy Piccolo, but I think we should help him when the time comes. This training would be a waste anyway if we didn't." Goku answers and his look suddenly changes into an amused one. "I can just picture Vegeta's face when Brolly snatched his ship! Hahaha! Oh man! I wish I were there!" And he continues laughing.

"We can laugh at it now, but something tells me this Caine is more then just a renegade Super Saiyan." Piccolo thinks as he watches Goku's outburst. "A lot more."


Another dent is added in the already out of shape wall of Capsule Corp.'s Gravity Room. As Trunks slowly picks himself up he wonders why he even agreed to this torture. Sure, he needed to train, but his dad was pissed and most certainly wasn't letting him off easily. "But why me? I didn't steal his ship!" Trunks thinks as he dodges another blow aimed at his head. Vegeta's temper never was that stable, but the latest incident has made him a lot more jumpy then usual. The thought of having to stop yet another rampaging legend isn't very appealing, and now one of them snatched his ship. Vegeta races off after his son, who couldn't block his last punch. By the time this day is over the wall is going to have a lot more dents in it.


"Just look at him, snoozing like a baby. We could kill him now, but the boss specifically ordered us to only make sure he doesn't leave the planet." A large alien stands over the bed as he watches Caine carefully. More are standing near the doorway trying not to make much noise.

"I doubt it, but if we try anything we should do it now before he wakes up." Another one whispers. "Remember what he did the other day? If he wakes up now I bet he'll be grumpy, so please try not to make that much noise!" The large alien just huffs at this and turns to leave the room. The others follow soon after.


Caine wakes up to find his enemies waiting for him. Brolly senses the disturbance and closes in on his target, but is he really the hunter, or is he prey? And what about the mysterious figure and what is his role in all this? Find out in the next chapter! That is, if I ever get round to writing it…

To Be Continued...


Author's Note: Wow! I wrote 2 chapters in only 4 days (be it of 2 different stories)! That's like, mega fast! It took me a long while to update this one. Sorry. I did make it a tad longer as the others… I think. Anyway, I don't really like the title of this chapter. I actually hate the title of this chapter, but I couldn't come up with something else, honestly! Though the last 2 chapters didn't get reviewed I have good hopes for this story. I actually know where I'm going with it. Getting there is a problem… but I know where I want to end up. I'm actually planning a sequel, though I'm going to finish this one first.
