Hello, everyone back to Chapter 2 of an unlikely pair!
I just want to say that this story will follow most of the original story but there will be a big surprise later on.
This chapter is longer than the first, I have reworked this chapter many times till I was happy with this current version.
I hope you all enjoy and please send any feedback and questions you may have.
Update: Just wanted to fix a big mistake I made in this chapter but it won't affect the chapter too much.

"Okay we've arrived at my place, it's just down there you can't miss it!" Goku said to Grimoire and Caulli pointing down to his home, Since the trip was so short from the previous destination Grimoire didn't talk about how he and Cauli met. "Goku they couldn't miss it it's the only house out here for miles…" Krillin pointed out to his old friend. Goku rubbed the back of his head laughing sheepishly, they all headed down towards the house which as they landed the door opened as Gohan and Chi Chi rushed out the house to meet Goku and everyone. Since Grimoire and Caulli were behind the Piccolo and Goku they weren't visible two the rest of the son family.
Gohan and Chi Chi hugged Goku the Saiyan with a large smile as he hugged them back, Grimoire stared at the family's embrace with solemn eyes that went unnoticed by almost everyone except for Caulli and Piccolo who had looked behind him to check on the two. "So tell us what happened Goku was it more aliens after you?" Chi Chi asked her husband wanting to understand what had happened, Goku rubbed the back of his head laughing softly "We did meet some people from space but they aren't here for revenge, they just crashed here since their ship was damaged." he explained to his wife and son who looked at each other "Then where are they now dad?" Gohan asked Goku who gave him a toothy grin.
"One of them was hungry so I thought maybe you could make something to fill them up from before we headed to Bulma's to get a new ship for them" he asked Chi Chi who put her hand spn her hips with a frown "Well I wouldn't mind if I was actually introduced?" she said as Goku nodded before turning to his friends "Grimoire, Caulli come on introducing yourselves to my wife and son" he called out. Caulli quickly came out from behind Piccolo as she ran over to Chi Chi and Gohan "Hello nice to meet I'm Caulli!" she said happily as Gohan and his mother was surprised at how human she looked- Chi Chi was so surprised at how she seems only a few years older than Gohan. Then the two noticed the tail that was swinging behind the girl, both their eyes widening to pinpricks.
"Your a Saiyan!" they both yelled in complete shock to see another Saiyan especially a female one, Cailli smiled happily "Yeah I am you have no idea how much of a relief that I'm not the last Saiyan alive" she said before looking to her sides realising that Grimoire was next to her. She turned around "Grimoire get here now!" she yelled out angrily as the frost demon reluctantly walked past Piccolo, Gohan and Chi-Chi were shocked to see the first demon. Grimoire took a few steps towards them before he bowed to them "I'm Grimoire it's a pleasure to meet you" he said genuinely much to the surprise of Gohan who stopped shining at the good manners of the frost demon. Gohan was still a bit afraid that he realized that this frost demon wasn't like Frieza.
"It's nice to meet you as well Grimoire, Caulli I'm Gohan" he said with a smile offering a hand to Caulli who shook it with earnest, Grimoire rose his head with a small bit of surprise in his eyes before they softened - he was glad that at least some people could see him as himself, not the tyrant Frieza. Turning to Goku's wife Grimoire was about to offer his hand, but she wasn't there.
"Goku are you nuts!" Chi Chi screamed at her husband holding him by his gi, everyone watched in shock as Chi Chi radiated a red aura of pure fury, "I can barely manage to handle two Saiyan appetites, but know I have to make enough for three or you that inconsiderate of the effort I put into making you and Gohan's food!" she bellowed as Goku trembled in fear at his wife's fury. Grimoire was completely surprised that Goku's wife became so hostile despite her docile and peaceful demeanor from before, looking at Caulli he saw the girl hiding behind the younger boy watching in fear at the woman's outburst.
Goku raised his hands up in surrender "Wait Chi Chi calm down its just food, surely it's not that bad you do it all the time" he said before his wife's left eye twitching madly, she then moved Goku face closer to hers "Now listen here Goku I get very sore from moving around and making food for you and Gohan, I will not break my body to make more this one time do you understand?" she whispered to her husband who was sweating a waterfall.
"N-now Chi Chi they've had a rough trip, I thought we could have a meal to help fill their stomachs…" he tried to reason with his wife, but Chi Chi was having none of it her eye burning with hellfire growling in response to her husband. "Pardon me, Mrs. Son?" Grimoire said as he moved next to Chi Chi who turned to him with an animalistic face of rage, Grimoire coughed into his hand "If it too much work for you to cook for all of us I'd happily help with the cooking, having been in company with a Saiyan myself I can understand cooking for them on your own is an exhausting task" he stated Chi Chi's rage diminishing, the flame leaving her eyes as she seemed genuinely surprised at his offer.
She let go of her husband who fell to the ground watching the interaction between the frost demon and his wife, Chi Chi narrowed her eyes at Grimoire "You know how to cook?" she asked the frost demon with mild surprise and joy. Grimoire nodded "I can although I'm not sure how food on earth is like, if you show me I can definitely assist in making meals for everyone here" he replied as Chi Chi eyes filled with sparkles as she was almost brought to tears "Oh thank you I'd love to have you help!" she said overjoyed before turning to everyone "Ok then everyone come inside take a seat and relax, me and Grimoire will bring the food when it's ready" she stated before she started heading into the house.
"I'll just have water," Piccolo said as Grimoire nodded before following Goku's wife into the house, Goku sighed in relief that everything worked out before lying completely on the ground. Cauli moved from Gohan looking at him with wide eyes "Your mom is scary" she whispered to him making the younger child smile "Yeah she can be but she means well" he replied to which Caulli nodded before walking around the outside of the house. Then Gohan approached Piccolo happy to see the namekian who had been like a second father to him "Hi Mr. Piccolo" he said happily as the Namekian gave him a small smile of his own "Good to see you kid, you've been doing alright?" he asked the young half Saiyan who nodded "I've been well Mr. Piccolo, hopefully, things will be more peaceful when the food is ready" he said as the two continued to talk.
After a little while, as Chi Chi showed Grimoire how to make the food everything was ready to be served, Grimoire felt happy to be doing something other than running and fighting all the time. Chi Chi patted his back giving him an impressed smile "I gotta say I'm surprised that you cooked so well, I'm very happy that I wasn't alone to cook this time" she remarked the frost demon nodding in thanks "You're too kind I quite enjoy this kind of work it's much more peaceful than what me and Caulli did before" he replied as he put the food in plates using his telekinesis to move them to the table that Chi Chi pulled out for the large number of people eating.
"What did you two do in space exactly?" Chi Chi asked curious about the alien and his Saiyan friends, Grimoire raised a finger moving it side to side "Not just yet I promised to tell everyone about me and Cauli when we all sat together" he replied which made the human woman give a pouty frown but she pushes any further. They called out that the food was ready as everyone came into the house- Goku and Caulli moving at building speeds to the table eager to eat the feast that was on the table, just as the two were about to eat before everyone was seated Chi Chi and Grimoire punched the heads of their respective saiyans. Both saiyans yelped in pain rubbing their heads tears threatening to spill from their eyes as they looked at their aggressors.
"You'll both wait for everyone to be seated" Grimoire stated sternly as the saiyans nodded not wanting another unch to their sore heads, once everyone was seated Goku then had a look of realisation looking to Grimoire "How are you supposed to eat with that guard on your face" he asked the frost demon who blinked in surprise of the question "Oh this I can just do this" he said as the there was a click heard from him as the guard split slipping into the sides of his face, everyone saw Grimoire smiling with his mouth which wasn't a darker like feisza's but a lighter purple than his mauve skin.
Getting over the small surprise that inhabitants had over the odd feature of Grimoire body they soon dug in into the feast, Goku and Caulli were stuffing their mouths with food like savage animals in the jungle no morsel on the table free from the empty void fo the two Saiyans appetites. Gohan still ate a lot but he had far more manners in how he ate compared to the older Saiyans, Piccolo was only having glasses of water as he didn't eat solid food for being a namekian. Krillin, Grimoire and Chi Chi ate their meals calmy their eyes watching as the Goku and Caulli consumed the food as if they were vacuums.
Eventually, the massive piles of food on the table gradually disappeared as everyone was finishing off their meals, the Saiyans sighing happily with their filled stomachs their appetites satiated for the time being. Grimoire was having the last bowl of rice with a glass of water, having not much to eat as he didn't feel all to hungry.
Krillin looked to Grimoire "So now will you tell all of us how you and Caulli ended up together?" he asked the frost demon who looked to the human swallowing his food "Okay I'll tell the tale" he said as he grabbed his glass of water looking at the cold liquid.
"I didn't meet Cauli under normal circumstances before I had met her I worked as part of a squad employed by Frieza father King Cold. I would follow the king to any planet he wanted to visit not really doing anything but watch whatever anarchy or disaster he made on those planets." Goku and everyone stared at him with surprise as the frost demon continued, "I hated the job but I couldn't quit it wasn't my choice too, it was either serve or die. King Cold was stronger than me so I never questioned him, but I hated every moment of it as so many lives were ruined and placed into his palms as if they were just toys…" Grimoire clenched a fist tightly taking a few heavy breaths through his nose to settle himself. Looking at everyone at the table they looked at him with apologetic eyes but didn't speak a world allowing him to continue.
"Then one day 7 years ago when I was with the king on a local planet for him to terrorize the inhabitants, I had been ordered to stay on the ship as per usual. It was then that I noticed something in the ice towers of the planet when I checked it was a pod of some sorts. Melting the ice and opening the pod I found Caulli" he stated smiling softly as he remembered seeing his siayan friend for the first time. Then his smile turned into a frown.
"She was just a child but when I saw that she was a Saiyan I knew that King Cold would want to kill her, he wouldn't allow any survivors of races his son had destroyed. I decided then that I wouldn't allow him to take her life so I took the Caulli, betrayed my colleagues by damaging Colds ship before hijacking an escape craft and leaving the planet. Since then it's just been me and Caulli moving from one planet to another to avoid being found by king Cold" He said finishing his story, he drank his water before clearing his throat "So any questions?" he asked watching what everyone had to say to him and Caulli.
"How did you two end up crashing here?" Gohan asked them Grimoire looking to Caulli who looked down embarrassed. Grimoire sighed "The ship we crashed on wasn't ours but one we stole from some of colds men, However, we were in a rush as a lot of them were after us and Caulli took some of them head-on." he said with one eye twitching as the Saiyan in question then began to whistle innocently.
"In her reckless battle with the soldiers she sent a blast to the ship we were taking and we couldn't take another one, we were lucky the ship didn't explode from take off but it was too damaged to last long so I directed us to this planet since it was closest, the rest is history" he answered the Gohan's question as Caulli was still whistling."Any more questions?" he asked the inhabitants of the earth.
"I have one" Krillin asked the frost demon giving the monk his attention "Weren't you afraid that Frieza would come after you for betraying his dad?" he asked Grimoire who shook his head "Hardly that tyrant was far to busy with his goals to rule the galaxy, he wouldn't waste his time going after a rogue member of his race. I was his father's problem for all he cared according to some chats I overheard from Cold soldiers who were hunting me and Caulli" he explained as Krillin seemed comfortable with his answer. "Didn't you have a family you could go to that could help you" Chi Chi suddenly asked out of curiosity, Caulli eyes looked down to the table as Grimoire mouth tremble slightly "N-no I don't have any family left, King Cold had them eliminated for having a traitorous son. When I went back to the planet in secret they were nothing more than burn marks…' Grimoire said placing down his drink with grief-stricken eyes. Everyone was shocked at what they heard and felt sorry for his loss, none wanted to imagine such a sight.
Caulli went to her friend giving him a hug which made the frost demon gave a smile, then he turned to Goku "Yet I am thankful to you Son Goku, the death of Frieza was the best news I've heard in a long, I'm sure that king Cold now understands what it's like to lose family" Grimoire remakes darkly. Suddenly Krillin gasped as if he had remembered something "Oh Kami I completely forgot!" he called out everyone now looking at him "Freiza wasn't killed by Goku…" he said making the two newcomers to earth widened their eyes in shock. "What?" Caulli asked confused as Krillin continued "He had survived his battle with Goku and came to earth with his father, both of them were killed by that other Saiyan from the future!" he stated, Piccolo, Gohan and Goku all had a look of realisation "That's right I can't believe that slipped my mind" Goku said surprised as he scratched his head embarrassed.
The sound of a chair falling onto the floor echoed through the house, Grimoire had stood from his seat a look of utter shock on his and Caulli's face "King Cold is dead…" he said not as a question as he and his companion let the news process in their minds. "Yeah it actually happened not too long ago," Krillin said noticing the frost demon shaking "Hey are you okay?" the monk asked with concern as Caulli looked at her companion with cautious eyes. Grimoire the began to release streams of tears from his eyes crying softly "His really dead I can't believe it…" he whispered out loud, everyone was confused and worried about the frost demon Caulli then grabbed his arm a smile coming to her face.
"What's going on?" Goku asked as the soft cries from Grimoire became small laughs, Grimoire placed his two shaking hands together "I'm sorry I'm just so happy, finally that bastard's is gone you don't know how happy that makes me and Caulli" he said as Caulli smile widened as tears also began to fall down her face " We don't have to run anymore, we can finally find a place to call home for good!" she yelled out overjoyed as she and Grimoire hugged each other. The sight of the two friends sharing a warm moment of joy placed smiles on everyone faces save for Piccolo who still had his mutual expression.
"Wait a minute," Grimoire said suddenly turning to everyone at the table, "I thought there were only 3 Saiyans on earth Goku,Gohan and Vegeta how come you didn't mention this Saiyan?" he asked the warriors at the table as they looked among each other with uncertain expression on their faces. "It's a bit complicated but the Saiyan that killed Frieza and King Cold, well he came from the future" Krillin explained to Grimoire whose eyes were wide in shock "the future… I didn't think it was possible, such technology is still only theory work for most races in the galaxy" he said more to himself " where is this saiyan now?" Caulli asked the monk who shook his head.
"He already went back to the future, he came to the past to warn us of a great danger that will occur in three years time," Goku said with a serious expression remembering the threat that he and his friends will have to deal with in the years ahead. Caulli looked confused "What threat Frieza and King Cold are the worst threats in the galaxy and there dead, what could possibly be an even worse?" she asked as Grimoire had wiped his tear stained face looking at the group with a worried expression, "Well let's just say that the threat he warned us about could defeat super Saiyans easily" Krillin stated making the two new arrivals on earth lose their breath.
Grimoire looked to Goku remembering the power he felt seeing him as a super saiyan "What kind of monster could have such power?" he questioned the Saiyan finding it impossible to comprehend something with that much power.
"They're called androids, Artificial humans who in three years time will pose a threat to all of humanity, this saiyan warned us so that we could train and be prepared for them," Piccolo remarked as the Caulli and Grimoire looked at each other giving the other unsure looks before, their faces then became more stern and serious. "If that's the case then please allow us to join you in your battle against these androids" he requested everyone looking at the two with slightly amazed looks at their willingness, Gohan then stood from his chair "Didn't you want to go to Bulma's to get a ship and leave earth?" the boy asked in confusion of their change in plans.
Grimoire smiled "There's no reason to we only wanted a ship was to keep running from king Cold since he's dead we can stay on earth it seems like a nice planet anyways," he said to Gohan who seemed to be happy for the two new freedom from the fear of King Cold. Piccolo crossed his arms as he sat in the chair with a questioning look. "Are you absolutely sure, the battle will be tough and we cannot guarantee that you'll make it out unharmed" he stated the namekian warrior giving a stern gaze at the two.
Caulli nodded crossing her arms making a large grin "You'll need all the help you can get, plus I and Grimoire are no pushovers in a fight" she said with a hint of pride Grimoire nodding in agreement with his friend. Goku smiled as he stood up from his chair "That'd be great more fighter would give us better chances in this battle, plus another Saiyan and one of Frieza kind will give us better chances against the androids!" he exclaimed happily looking over to his new allies.
Krillin gave a toothy smile laughing a little "Then welcome to the team Grimoire and Caulli were glad to have you join us" he said happily- having more people with strong power levels would give them a much better chance at surviving, plus it was better to have new allies than new enemies. Chi-Chi then coughed into their hand to get everyone's attention, the human woman looking at her husband "Goku you know where I stand on this, I don't mind you training but Gohan will be studying" she stated firmly crossing her arms. Gohan looked at his mother with disappointed eyes but he didn't voice his thoughts to his mother knowing how stubborn she was on this matter. Goku frowned at Chi Chi " But Chi Chi we'll need Gohan's power to combat the androids, it's for the sake of the entire world surely he can skip on his studies for a while" the Saiyan tried to reason with his wife who only glare at him in refusal.
"Chi Chi comes on in three years the earth will face a threat that could mean the end of the human race, surely you can allow Gohan to train to better the odds of us saving the world?" Krillin said the Chi Chi who turned her head to face him with a murderous look in her eyes, the monk gave a squeak before shutting his mouth. Chi Chi stood up taking some of the plates "I already told Goku and I'll say it again I want my son to grow up with an education and not be a muscle-clad moron" she said finally before she started walking to the kitchen to clean up.
The plates and bowls in her hold then were covered in a faint purple glow as they floated away from her grasp, she turned to see Grimoire with a hand raised giving him a cautious look.
Grimoire looked to Gohan seeing the boy wanted to train with his father but also didn't want to disappoint his mum, so he had an idea in his mind "Mrs Son If I may why don't you have him do both?" he inquired the human woman who looked at him with a slightly baffled expression "I thought I made myself clear I don't want him to train at all" she answered Grimoire's question who only shook his head in response "If what your husband says is true and your son doesn't have that power he will be needed, plus it won't be like he will be training fully everyday hell have a schedule. Train for a few hours than do his studies" Grimoire explained to Chi Chi who seems to consider his words as she didn't speak for a few seconds before she sighed in defeat.
"Fine, Gohan can train as much as I don't like it your idea at least ensures he won't end up as a brainless fiend" she muttered out loud so everyone heard her, Gohan looked surprised but a smile soon came to his face. Looking at Grimoire the frost demon gave a wink to the half Saiyan almost saying 'I got your back', Grimoire then walked towards the kitchen "Shall we clean up now?" he asked Chi Chi who gave a small smile "That'd be very kind of you" she replied as they entered the kitchen starting to wash the dishes.
Gohan walked up to Caulli the young Saiyan girl smiling seeing him "Hey Caulli how old are you by the way?" he asked genuinely curious, Caulli laughed a little scratching her head "You might actually be surprised I'm 12 years old" she said everyone in the room looking at her in disbelief.
"That's impossible there's no way you're ten your almost as tall Grimoire and he's just a little taller than Frieza!" Krillin shouted refusing to believe that the female Saiyan was that young there was no way. Caulli laughed nervously waving her hands at the short monk "I understand why it's hard for you to believe, Grimoire couldn't believe it either but when I turned ten I had a large growth spurt!" she exclaimed honestly looking in concern as the monk looked at her with slight contempt teras at the side of his eyes.
Krillin walked away grumbling to himself how unfair it was that Caulli was taller than he was a kid, Gohan looked at Caulli as both laughed awkwardly at the young monk's complaints. Caulli then offered Gohan her hand "I hope we become good friends Gohan" she said innocently as Gohan shook her hand "I think we will Caulli".
After having helped Chi Chi Grimoire was outside with Caulli and Goku, Krillin and Piccolo having to take off earlier having been satisfied hearing about the story between Grimoire and Caulli. Since there wasn't any room in the son residence for the two to stay Goku told them they Bulma would have a place for them to stay, the sun was was still high in the sky but it was starting to set and it would be night soon enough. "So we're gonna fly there?" Caulli asked sitting on the ground outside, Goku shook his head "No we won't just hold on to me and will be there in no time" he said happily making the young female Saiyan and frost demon look at him confused. Not left with any other option they placed their hand on Goku's shoulders, before any of them could ask Goku what he was doing they no longer found themselves at the son residence.
Both Grimoire and Caulli looked around their surrounding in surprise to see that they were outside a large dome-like building, the name capsule corporation labeled on the building, both were surprised to see that they were in a different location and looked to Goku. "How did you do that?" Grimoire asked Goku who was smiled at their question "It's a technique I learnt called instant transmission I can teleport anywhere as long as I can sense a energy signature of a life from" he answered the first demon who was shocked that the saiyan knew such a convenient technique, but he also realized something else "You can sense energy without a scouter?!" he questioned the saiyan as he nodded "Yep me and almost all my friends know how to sense energy if you want I can show you later how to do it" he replied Grimoire and Caulli nodding at the opportunity to learn such a useful skill.
They then headed inside the large building, inside they saw an old man wearing glasses and a lab coat, he had a large mustache and grey hair. Goku approached the man "Hi Mr Briefs!" he said happily as the old man looked at him with a smile "Ah! Goku it's good to see you so soon what can I help you with?" he asked Goku who then pointed to Grimoire and Caulli "These are some new friends I made, their ship crashed so I was wondering if you had any spare rooms for them to use?" Goku replied to Mr briefs. The old man rubbed his chin in thought "I believe we have rooms available, yeah I think we can accommodate your friends" he said with a smile.
Grimoire walked up to Mr. Breifs "Thank you, sir, for allowing us to stay in your home" he said as he bowed to the man who laughed a little at the frost demons respectful manners, "That's quite alright, so could I learn you and your companions names?" he asked Grimoire. Grimoire nodded "I'm Grimoire" he replied "And I'm Caulli it's nice to meet you!" the young female Saiyan said enthusiastically, Goku then tapped Mr briefs shoulder "Hey where's Bulma I want to introduce her to these two," Goku said as Mr briefs nodded at his request. "Give me a moment I'll call her over he said before taking out a mobile device pressing buttons he spoke into it "Hey Bulma sweetheart your friends Goku is here and he's brought some new arrivals.
"I'll be there soon dad!" a female voice called out through the device before it was replaced with static, soon a woman with turquoise hair "Hey Goku!" she called out walking up to her friend before she then realized the two with him- especially the girl with the tail. Her eyes widened looking to Goku "You found another Saiyan!" she yelled out before pointing to Grimoire "And who is this?!" she exclaimed in surprise as the new arrival with her old friend. Goku smiled at her friend "I know that this may seem crazy, but the Saiyan here is Caulli and the one next to her is Grimoire. They crashed here today and after we mentioned how Frieza and Cold were killed by , trun-that Saiyan from the future and how he warned us of the androids they wanted to help" he explained to his old friend who looked at him surprised before looking at her dad "I'm guessing you offered them a room dad?" she asked her father who nodded as a small black cat jumped up to rest on his shoulder.
Bulma sighed looking at the two before a small smile graced her face "I guess it would be nice to have some extra company, plus from what I've been told of these androids I think it would be good to have as many strong fighters we can get" she remarked placing her hands on her hips. She looked to Goku "So with the training do you want to use the gravity room, we've recently got an improved model working" she offered to her friend who gave a shake of his head. "I think it would be too much for Gohan so no" he said before turning to Grimoire and Caulli who seemed interested in this gravity room "Hey how about tomorrow we train a little bit in the gravity room, I want to get an idea of how powerful to both of you are" Goku said as the frost demon and Saiyan looked at each other before they nodded "Sure it would be good to see how much we need to improve to face these androids" Grimoire said as Caulli yawned "sorry just a little sleepy…" she muttered before slapping her face a few times.
Goku smiled as he raised his hand to his forehead "Well then It was nice to see you Bulma, Mr briefs Hopefully I'' see you soon. Grimoire and Caulli take care and get settled we'll be training very hard as soon as possible, see ya!" he said before he seemingly popped out of existence.
Grimoire rubbed his head "Well that's gonna take some time getting used to" he said before rubbing his eyes feeling fatigue catch up with him. Bulma noticed their fatigue and felt a little worried "Are you two okay?" she asked with concern in her voice, Caulli waved dismissively as she yawned again "Yeah yeah we're just tired, it's been a long trip…" she stated as Bulma nodded as he father looked at his daughter "I trust you to show them their rooms Bulma I gotta handle some projects" he stated before he walked off.
Bulma clapped her hands together "Right follow me your rooms are this way" she said as they headed for the bedrooms going through some hallways until they found the rooms. Bulma turned to their guests with a smile "Here are your rooms both are basically identical so just take your pick, Anyways I have to go I need to work on some project of my own. If you two need anything just head to the end of this hallway to and you'll find the kitchen which also has some medical supplies, take care and sleep well" she stated as she headed the same way where they came from before.
Grimoire looked to the doors then each other, Grimoire gave her wink "Good night Caulli try not to snore so loud when you sleep" he jabbed at the young Saiyan who poked her tongue out at the frost demon as they entered their rooms. Soon after they would fall asleep for the rest of the day, the two beings from space finally having their first proper sleep without fear of being hunted in years. They certainly made the most of it for in the battle the come many restless nights awaited.
