At the Time Nest, Zangya is seen with a tray in hand, cursing the fact that she has to deliver food to a couple of prisoners at the nest. She was just told these two were sneaky and not to be trusted.
She arrived in a room, approaching a pair of cells and sliding in the trays, "Here you go, enjoy."
The two prisoners were in fact Fu and Android 21, each sitting in their own cell, attention drawn to their food.
"Huh, you're new," Android 21 said.
"Yeah, I don't think..." Fu stopped a moment to analyze her. "Wait, you're Zangya from Bojack's crew!"
Zangya suspiciously glared at Fu, "How do you know who I am?"
"I know a lot about the warriors of the different dimensions and timelines," Fu said. "I know in one timeline, you and your crew did battle against Gohan and the Z Fighters, but unfortunately failed."
"Well it looks like the timeline prevailed then," Zangya said with mock joy. "Stupid kid got lucky, he and his friends. Doesn't help that our so-called leader decided to ditch us when he should have relied on us the most."
"Yeah Bojack's a sneaky one," Fu said. "Hey at least you're alive, though I am curious as to what brings you to the Time Nest."
"Gohan, little brat wanted to be chivalrous and sent me to this awful place where now I have to work under yet someone else who will just use me as a pawn," Zangya said. "Well, I can promise that won't last long."
"Yeah, maybe you can do so much more," Fu said. "After all, someone with your potential shouldn't be delivering food, they should be out conquering."
"Don't let your talents go to waste now," Android 21 said.
"Oh I won't," Zangya said, leaving the room. "I'll have my chance soon, no one will look down upon me again."
After she was gone, Android 21 turned her attention to Fu, "So, we know the plan right?"
"Yes, that girl may be our best chance of escape," Fu said.
"Can't believe how careless The Supreme Kai of Time was, allowing that girl to deliver our food?" Android 21 said. "What was to stop that girl from freeing us just to spite her?"
"Either she has a back-up plan or she's very distracted," Fu said. "She's great at her job but she's not perfect, she might slip up, and that will be our exit."
"Hopefully we'll be able to get our revenge on that Gohan, his Androids and those other two brats that the Supreme Kai of Time hired," Android 21 said.
"Yes, all in due time," Fu said. "For now, we practice our patience, then everything will work out just fine."
On a remote unknown planet, Gohan had just emerged from the portal he had followed the twins a well a Bulma and Chi-Chi through. He looked around, looking to find any sign of the girls, hoping that they're both not in immediate danger.
He also hoped to find Towa, that woman had quite a bit of explaining to do. "Bulma!? Chi-Chi!? It's me Gohan! Are either of you around!?"
"Gohan!" He heard Bulma's voice call. "Over here!"
"Bulma?" Gohan quickly followed the voice. "I'm coming!" He tried sensing her ki, figuring that'd be easier than navigating the wasteland of this unknown planet.
"Hurry Gohan! Before the mean people come back!" Chi-Chi's voiced called.
"I'm almost there!" Gohan said, now trying to sense Chi-Chi's ki. He flew around until he spotted both girls near the side cliff. They both waved both their hands to get his attention, so he quickly landed beside them.
"Thank goodness you girls are both safe," Gohan said, making his way over to them.
"Oh we're perfectly fine Gohan," Bulma said.
"No worries here," Chi-Chi added.
Gohan looked a bit curious by their reactions, he expected them to have been a little scared since they were attacked by aliens. "Well, do you know where those two went?"
"Oh, they're around," Bulma said, unusually cheery.
"Very close by in fact," Chi-Chi added.
"Uh, you two aren't making a whole lot of sense," Gohan said. "Seriously, I need to find those two before they cause any more trouble, so can you please-"
In a brief moment, Gohan could notice a sinister smirk on Bulma, but before he could react, she rushed in and landed a strong blow to his jaw, with Chi-Chi rushing in with a knee to his stomach and then an uppercut knocking him back.
Gohan cartwheeled back onto his feet, very much taken back by what had just happened, "H-hey! Did you two just..."
Suddenly both of their hairs turned white and some lines appeared under their now red eyes. Gohan couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"You look surprised Gohan, didn't expect a fight from us, did you?" Bulma asked, her voice somewhat distorted, sounding like another female.
"You didn't think you'd be rid of us that easily, did you?" Chi-Chi asked, her distorted voice sounding masculine.
"Uh, what's happening?" Gohan asked, clearly and understandably confused.
"You little fool, you have yet to taste our true abilities," Bulma said, getting into a battle stance.
"Do you have what it takes to bring us down?" Chi-Chi said, also getting into position.
"I don't understand what's happening, why are you attacking? Does this have anything to do with those twins?" Gohan took a moment when he remembered them, realizing something about the secondary voices. "Wait, those voices, don't tell me..."
"Have you finally figured it out?" Bulma said, rushing in for an attack, trying to land a punch on Gohan, which he quickly blocked, but was open to an attack from Chi-Chi, who kicked him in the head and tripped him up.
Bulma then kicked Gohan under his chin, knocking him back, causing him to fall over. Gohan quickly rolled aside, trying to analyze the situation.
"How did you two even pull this off!?" Gohan asked.
"It wasn't hard, we just entered their bodies," Kamin-Bulma said.
"We're able to amplify their abilities to their fullest potential while we have them under our control," Oren-Chi-Chi added.
"Probably picked some bad hosts though," Gohan said. "You may have gotten some cheap shots against me but your power is pretty small, there's only so much you could do with those girls."
"Maybe you're right," Kamin-Bulma said. "But are you willing to hurt these girls?"
"Especially when one of those girls is your mother?" Oren-Chi-Chi taunted.
Gohan knew they had a point, if he went all out he could do serious damage to those girls, maybe even fatal. If he did then the timeline would be unfixable, as he doubts he'll find Dragon Balls, not only does he not know where he is, he also doesn't know when he is.
"Well I'll still try to stop you and free my friends!" Gohan declared, then flew in to attack Oren-Chi-Chi. Just before he landed a blow, he hesitated briefly, and that brief moment gave Oren-Chi-Chi the opportunity to punch Gohan across the jaw.
Kamin-Bulma jumped over and landed a diving kick to Gohan's back, knocking him toward her brother, to which he hit Gohan with a strong uppercut.
Both siblings then stood side-by-side and rushed in with a double knee to Gohan's gut and a double punch to his face, knocking him back.
Gohan had to think fast, he couldn't use his full strength because he was afraid to really hurt the girls but if he kept holding back he would be risking his own safety. What was to stop the twins from leaving their bodies once he was weak enough to finish off, Gohan couldn't let that situation happen.
"Do you surrender?" Kamin-Bulma asked.
"No way!" Gohan said, getting into a fighting stance. "Come try that again, if you dare!"
"Headstrong, like a Saiyan," Kamin-Bulma said, the two rushing in to attack again. Gohan was quick to block their strikes, trying to focus mostly on defense against the twins.
Gohan then used a non-lethal force of ki to knock both girls back, much as he hated to do this, he would have to be a little rough in this fight, but just enough to free the girls. He flew in to kick Oren-Chi-Chi, then teleported to punch Kamin-Bulma.
"I hope Bulma and my mom won't be too mad," Gohan said, then powered up to attack again, going for a kick to both possessed girls.
Oren-Chi-Chi stood back up, glaring at Gohan, "Attacking your mother as a child? Have you no shame?"
"I'll do what I can to free them!" Gohan said, going for another punch, getting his kid mother square in the jaw. He then rushed in and started doing a few more punches to her stomach and finished with an uppercut to knock her back.
Kamin-Bulma rushed over and kicked Gohan in the back, but he quickly used his tail to grab her arm and tossed her aside, then teleporting in front of her and punched her hard in the stomach and then karate chopped her back, knocking her to the floor.
Oren-Chi-Chi slowly started to stand, feeling aches all over his borrowed body. "Damn, this isn't working, I only used this body to give myself a mental advantage!" Oren-Chi-Chi rushed over to Gohan, powering up his signature attack. "Smash Break!"
Gohan quickly blocked the attack and kicked the kid version of his mother back. Kamin Bulma was about to do her attack but Gohan elbowed her in the stomach, causing the older girl to step back, holding the spot in pain.
"Little brat, is this how you treat your friends!?" Kamin-Bulma asked.
"I'll do what I must to save them, even if I have to fight!" Gohan said. "You know I can get stronger, now release my friends!"
Kamin-Bulma knew he had a point, he already made it obvious he would continue to fight even if she was in his friend's body, so she slowly started to exit from a cut, Bulma falling unconscious. Oren did the same, leaving Chi-Chi's body, leaving her on the ground.
"Pretty ruthless there Gohan, attacking your friends like that," Kamin said, then smirked a bit. "Kind of admire that sense of combat."
"Don't even try Kamin, I did what I did to save my friends," Gohan said.
"Call it whatever you'd like," Kamin said, backing away a little. "Unfortunately you did more damage to me than I expected, so I'll be taking my leave."
"I don't think so," Gohan said, powering up to Super Saiyan. "I can't let you or your brother cause any more trouble, I'll taking you both down. Now make this easy and surrender, I'd rather keep you alive if I can but if you give me too much trouble, you'll leave me with very little choice."
"Do you really want to do that, when we can still destroy your friends?" Oren said, lifting Chi-Chi up by her neck, ready to blast her.
"H-hey! Let my mother go!" Gohan shouted, about to fly over, but Kamin got in the way and blocked him. "If you don't move I will destroy you!"
Kamin smirked sinisterly, "You're really attractive right now." To his surprise, she leaned in to kiss Gohan, the boy completely halting. Gohan stood there in shock as Kamin deepened her kiss for a bit longer before pulling back. Then Kamin took the moment of surprise to sucker punch Gohan to the ground, then quickly rejoined her brother as he dropped Chi-Chi. "See you shrimp!"
The twins quickly flew away, eventually going through a portal, back to their own time. Gohan was still shaking off the shock, both the surprise kiss from Kamin and the punch right afterwards.
"I can't believe she actually kissed me, what's wrong with her?" Gohan said. "Never mind that, I gotta get these girls somewhere safe."
Gohan quickly grabbed Chi-Chi and Bulma, flying them to nearby cavern, hoping to nurse them both back to health.
Back with the twins, they had returned to their own Universe, entering a big and dark room, with others nearby, different allies of theirs, including a woman named Lagss and the Saiyan Cumber.
"You're both late," Cumber said. "What took you?"
"Sorry, that fight with Gohan of Dimension Z took a bit longer than we thought," Oren said.
"Dimension Z, the Gohan that accidentally stowed away on Trunks's time machine?" Lagss asked.
"That very same," Oren said. "Apparently the Supreme Kai of Time is using him as a Time Patroller now, so our goal to destroy Goku and Chi-Chi as youths failed thanks to him."
"More Time Patrollers, that might be troublesome," Cumber said. "Bad enough those Metal Coolers couldn't exterminate those other two pests, not that I'm surprised, Cooler isn't exactly trustworthy or reliable."
"You're just mad because you and Cooler have a past," Kamin teased.
"Watch your tone girl, he is nothing to me," Cumber said. "Besides, you are in no position to talk, given your own failures."
"Fair enough," Kamin teased. "Regardless our mission had some success, given the damage my brother and I caused in the past, no doubt the Supreme Kai of Time had to use her abilities to separate the timelines to keep Goku alive."
"Then once she's completely weakened, we'll be able to seize control of her Time Nest," Oren confirmed. "Then we'll finally have complete control over the timelines."
"We'll also be able to get all the power needed to overcome the Gods," Cumber said. "Once we get enough power for Mira that is."
"Aren't any of you the least bit concerned about that though?" Oren asked. "Once Mira gets this power, he can easily betray us."
"Then we'll just need to be ready," Lagss said. "Do you honestly believe we're going along with this under the blind notion that Towa can be trusted?"
"I have been traveling to different realms and planets, training relentlessly for that very moment," Cumber said.
"Perhaps we won't even let Towa get all the power to Mira, what's to stop my brother and I from taking the power for ourselves?" Kamin said.
"Then we'd have to worry about your betrayal," Cumber said.
"Do you talk to Hearts this way?" Kamin teased. "My brother and I would never betray our most valued allies."
"Yeah you say that now, I just hope I can trust you to keep your word," Cumber said.
"We've fought together for a long while Cumber," Lagss reminded. "Oren and Kamin do hold a sense of comradery with us, and it'll fall into all five of us to bring down Mira and Towa, so we can't afford any internal discord."
"I see your point," Cumber said. "Very well, at least we have a weaker foe now. Just a little more push and victory will be ours."
"Oren and I will go and check on Towa and Mira, you two alert Hearts on what's been happening thus far," Kamin said.
"Alright, consider it done," Cumber said, making his way out of the room.
"I shall accompany him," Lagss said, following after Cumber.
Once the twins were alone, Oren took this moment to speak with his sister, "Kamin, on that rogue planet, when you kissed that boy..."
"I hope you're not thinking much of it brother," Kamin said. "It was all just to get inside his head."
"I am just hoping you don't develop feelings for the enemy," Oren replied. "Truth be told, I am quite surprised you went with such a tactic, seemed like a very desperate move."
"I assure you brother, I feel nothing for that boy. I took a necessary risk and it paid off. If he starts to feel for me however, that's simply another weakness to exploit," Kamin generated power in her hands." Next time we encounter him, we will destroy him once and for all, that I can promise."
Back on the rogue planet, Gohan searched around to see if he happened to have any Sensu Beans. Fortunately he had two that he brought with him. He hadn't needed them yet but he knew these girls could use some. Instead of giving them two different beans, he decided to break one in half and feed it to each girl.
"Just like dad did for me and Krillin when the Saiyans first arrived," Gohan remembered as he popped one half into Bulma's mouth. "Eat up, it'll make you feel better."
Bulma instinctively started chewing as Gohan gave the other half to Chi-Chi. The teen girl stood up, looking around. "Huh? Where am I?"
"Good, you're awake," Gohan said, having fed Ch-Chi the other bean, the girl chewing and recovering. "I don't know where we are right now, I just finished fighting off the twins who captured you."
"Oh yeah, I remember there was that one freaky looking girl," Bulma said. "Then the boy came out of nowhere."
"That was weird, and scary," Chi-Chi said, finally recovering. "Who were they? How did they know who I was?"
"Yeah, what's going on Gohan?" Bulma asked. "How were you that strong!? How are you able to fly!? And what's with your hair!?"
"Oh yeah, I noticed your hair's black again, it should stay that way," Chi-Chi said.
"Look, it's really complicated to explain," Gohan said.
"Kid, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with two weirdo twins trying to kill us! I want to know what's going on, and I want to know now!" Bulma demanded. "I just know there's something you're not telling us! Now spill it!"
"Thing is...I'm really not supposed to tell you anything," Gohan said. "Honestly I might have told you too much, you were never even supposed to see me."
"Kid, I want answers now, if you don't I'll come up with ways to make you tell me!" Bulma shouted.
"Bulma, come on," Gohan pleaded, but Bulma's glare made him shrive. Gohan couldn't fathom how someone with his power level could feel so intimidated by a common Earthling like Bulma, but of course he would never want to upset a woman whom he respects. "Fine, I'm gonna get in such hot water for this though."
"I think we're already in hot water," Chi-Chi said.
Before Gohan could say anything, the trio suddenly found themselves surrounded by warriors in armor. "Don't move!"
"Ah!" Bulma screeched. "What's going on!?"
Gohan was quick to get into a defensive position, then noticed something interesting about the people who surrounded him. First they had armor similar to what Vegeta and Frieza's men wore. Interestingly they had tails. There were five of them, four men and one woman, but what stood out to him the most was that one man had a hair style similar to his father. What could this mean to Gohan? When in time was he?
"Hey, check it out," a larger Saiyan with a bowl cut hair said. "That runt has a tail."
"Yeah," the woman said. "Must be a Saiyan, but where did he come from?"
"Hey kid, what battalion are you from?" a man with blue armor said.
"Battalion?" Gohan said, trying to think. They believed him to be a Saiyan, which made sense since he a tail. "Uh...Battalion C?"
That seemed to confuse the older Saiyans, though the bigger one started laughing, "Heh, rookies, don't know nothing except to go out and raise hell."
"But why would they send another battalion on a planet we were assigned to?" the blue armor man said.
"Got me Tora," bigger man said. "Maybe someone on the Frieza Force screwed up."
"Hey where is his battalion?" Fasha asked.
"Probably bit the dust," the man who resembled his father said. "Check his clothes, looks like he's been through hell."
"Wait, those clothes look kind of weird," the woman said.
"Hey you're right Fasha," the bigger man said. "They ain't from Planet Vegeta that's for sure."
"Uh these clothes are..." Gohan tried thinking. "They're special imports from...Planet Namek!"
"Namek?" the big man asked. "What's Namek?"
"I've heard of it, a planet of green men with antennas and stuff," Tora said. "Must be some fashion statement."
"Kids, always trying to look cool," Fasha said. "Probably trying to stand out and climb through the ranks."
The man who resembled his father looked to the woman, "Who are they? Are they locals?"
"They're...servants!" Gohan said.
"Excuse me!?" Bulma said, Gohan doing a shushing motion.
"Yeah, my family got them from some nearby planet, they follow me around and make sure I have plenty of food and stuff," Gohan said.
"Wow, must be some noble kid," the big man said. "Surprised you're out here fighting, but then again it's in a Saiyan's blood to want to fight."
"Except weak ones, like Bardock's girl," Fasha joked.
"Hey lay off my wife," Bardock warned. "Besides, even if she can't fight, woman knows how to cook, a nice meal before a big battle really brings out the warrior spirit in a Saiyan."
"Well this kid's got a warrior spirit," Toma said. "Uh, what's your name anyway?"
"My name?" Gohan was about to say his real name but worried that might cause trouble, plus it's an Earthling name, it likely wouldn't pass as a Saiyan name. He thought quickly to other Saiyans until he settled on one. "Uh, my name's Cabba."
"Cabba huh?" Bardock said. "Well my name's Bardock, this is my crew." He gestured to the lone female, "That's Fasha," then to the big man, "That's Shugesh," He gestured to a quiet taller man, "That's Borgos," he gestured to the last one, "And that's Toma."
"Nice to meet you all," Gohan said. "Well I take it this planet's fully captured."
"Yeah, not much left to do but wait for Frieza to show up and put up up for sale," Bardock said.
"Bet we'll get a nice payday out of it too," Shugesh said.
"We better," Fasha added. "Hey kid, got anyone to report to, or are they all dead?"
"Uh...yeah, I'm the only one here," Gohan said. "Those guys nearly took me out but I pushed on through!"
"Looks like your friends got roughed up as well," Shugesh said, then started eyeing Bulma. "Gotta say, the blue hair one looks pretty nice."
Bulma started to freak out, but Gohan stood in front of her. "She's not for sale if that's what you're implying, these girls are very realiable to me."
"Not like you could afford good help Shugesh, you blow most of your cash off on drinks anyway," Bardock said, then turned back to Gohan. "You should get back to your pod now."
"Pod? I don't have one," Gohan said.
"Then how did you get here?" Fasha asked.
Gohan nervously looked around, he should have come up with a better answer. "Uh...it got destroyed...yeah we landed near a bunch of them and they wrecked everything."
"What idiot ran your battalion?" Shugesh asked.
"A big one," Gohan lamented. "But seriously, I don't have a pod. I don't suppose you have extras?"
Bardock nodded, "Yeah, but only one. Some new guy came with us on this mission, we were suppose to show him the ropes but..."
"He took one energy blast through the torso and he was done, permanently," Shugesh finished.
"Yeah, thanks for finishing that," Bardock said, then turned back to Gohan. "So you want that pod or do you want us to call the Frieza Force and have them send you an extra ship?"
"Uh, I'll take sharing the pod," Gohan said. "I don't want to deal with Frieza's men."
"Don't blame you," Bardock said. "Alright, hi-tail it on over here."
Gohan led the two girls with him, both of them scared and confused.
"Gohan, what is happening?" Bulma asked.
"Tell you later, now hurry," Gohan said, leading the two girls toward Team Bardock's Saiyan pods.
"Alright, there's the spare pod," Bardock said, pointing to the far corner, "It's already pre-programed to return to Planet Vegeta, just press the red button and that's it."
"Thanks sir," Gohan said.
"Don't mention it, now let's hurry, I wanna be off the planet before Frieza's men start getting here," Bardock said. "Really hate their smug looks."
Gohan went to the pod with Bulma and Chi-Chi, the two girls wondering how they'll fit inside. Gohan quickly analyzed the pod, it might be a tight fit but he can get then all inside. "Alright, you go in first Bulma."
"Alright," Bulma said, still not too confident about this. She sat against the seat, trying to get comfortable. Gohan then sat between Bulma's legs, pressing against her, much to her discomfort. "Hey easy kid."
"Sorry about that," Gohan said, trying to get comfortable as his tail ticked Bulma's nose, causing her to sneeze.
"Watch that tail of yours," Bulma ordered.
"Again, sorry," Gohan said, then turned to Chi-Chi. "Alright, your turn, come and rest between my legs, but be-" Chi-Chi wasted no time going inside the pod, sitting comfortably on Gohan's lap while placing her legs over his left one and wrapping her arms around him. "Hey easy!"
"Sorry, but I'm comfortable now," Chi-Chi said, her helmet blade getting close to Bulma's face.
"Hey, get that blade away from me!" Bulma ordered.
"Oh, I can put it aside," Chi-Chi said, placing her helmet down next to her seat. "There, all better."
"I guess, still feel a bit uncomfortable," Bulma said.
"Maybe it won't take long," Gohan said, pressing the button as the door closed. From there the ship started leaving the ground, Bardock's team ships also launching off of the planet. Within moments the ship they were on picked up speed, the trio approaching the planet fast.
Fortunately there wasn't much kickback, the ship was indeed pretty well built. Gohan rested as comfortably as he could, between Chi-Chi resting on his lap and his head pressed against Bulma's breasts, he was feeling rather awkward.
"So, what's going on again Gohan?" Bulma asked. "Who are those people?"
"Those are Saiyans," Gohan explained. "They're an alien race of warriors."
"Wait, aliens!? Bulma asked. "As on not from Planet Earth!?"
"Pretty much what an alien is," Gohan said.
"Wait a minute!" Bulma said. "Those Saiyans had tails! just like you!"
"Does that mean you're an alien?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Well...sort of," Gohan said. "I was born on Earth but my father is a Saiyan."
"So you're half alien?" Bulma asked. "That would explain quite a few things."
"Why did those creatures bring us to your father's planet though?" Chi-Chi asked.
"I wish I knew, this feels so random," Gohan said. "Don't worry, I'll get you girls home safe and sound. After we land I'll start making plans to return to Earth." Of course Gohan knew that in addition to that, he needed to return to the right timeline as well, as based on the existence of the Saiyans and Frieza's rule, he knew that he had gone to the past since his uncle Raditz said that Planet Vegeta was destroyed when Goku was just an infant.
The five pods landed, Gohan stepped out with the two girls, but they immediately fell to the ground.
"Ah! What happened!?" Chi-Chi asked, trying to pull herself up. "Why do I feel so heavy?"
"Must be this planet's gravity, it feels stronger than Earth's!" Bulma said, trying to stand.
Gohan immediately started to panic, he hadn't known about Planet Vegeta's Gravity, he never took that into account. "Come on, you girls gotta try to stand up!"
"What does it look like I'm trying to do kid!" Bulma snapped. "How the hell are you standing!?"
"Guess the gravity change doesn't bother me," Gohan said. He saw Bardock's crew making their way over, so he quickly lifted Bulma onto his back. "Hold on tight." He then picked Chi-Chi up bridal style as the rest of the team approached him, all confused at the sight.
"Are you carrying those girls?" Bardock asked.
"They're tired, and exhausted, they can't even stay on their feet so I decided to carry them," Gohan said.
"Huh, weird for the noble to carry their servant, I expected it the other way around, Bardock said. "Well you probably wanna get home now."
Gohan nodded, "Yeah, I should get going, so-"
"But wait kid, you gotta come by Bardock's place, his wife's cooking up something fancy," Shugesh said.
"She may be weak as well but she's a pretty decent cook," Fasha said. "Probably why Bardock keeps her around."
"Oh ha-ha, remember she's my wife, only I get to talk crap about her," Bardock said.
"Uh, you never do though," Shugesh said.
"Exactly, so like a good crew, follow your leader," Bardock said, then turned to Gohan. "Must be weird for you to see a Saiyan man be so loyal to his wife huh?"
"Not really, my father's like that," Gohan absent-mindedly said.
"Oh your father? Who is he?" Bardock asked.
Again Gohan realized the pickle he got himself into, "Uh...Turles?"
"Turles, names sounds familiar, then again it's a common name so maybe that's why," Bardock said. "Well you wanna try my wife's cooking?"
Gohan wanted to turn it down, but he was actually a bit curious about Bardock, and why he looked like his father. Maybe it was coincidence, but he still wanted to know for sure. "Sounds nice, but it'll have to be quick, I gotta get home soon."
"Good with me, let's go," Bardock said, leading his crew. Gohan took a nice look around Planet Vegeta, it was a little different than he imagined. When he thought of Saiyans, he imagined a bunch of brutes, kind of like Nappa. But many of these Saiyans seemed to be engineers, so not all of them are warriors, though Bardock did allude to that.
Even Bulma looked amazed, scary as this was for her, she was seeing a whole different civilization, they looked pretty advanced. The science lover in her wanted to know more about their technology, she knew her father would love to see a place like this. Chi-Chi was pretty impressed too, but she really just wanted to go back home.
It wasn't long before they arrived in a market place, the three Earthlings were amazed at how similar it looked to home. Eventually Bardock made hsi way inside a store. "Hey Gine."
"Barock!" Gine said, greeting her husband. "How was the mission?"
"Little rough, the new guy bit the dust but still a success," Bardock said.
"Oh, that's too bad," Gine said. "Well, all in a day's work I guess." She turned to the crew. "Hi everyone, nice to see you."
"You too Gine," Toma introduced. "I can already smell the food in the kitchen."
"Yeah, I started preparing ahead of time, I made food for all of you, even the new guy," Gine said. "Guess he won't be around to enjoy it."
"That's fine, we found another new guy," Bardock said, gesturing to Gohan. "His name's Cabba, we found him on that planet."
"Cabba, what a nice name," Gine said, making her way over to Gohan and kneeling down. "Huh, who are these girls? Are they Saiyans too?"
"No, they're from another planet," Gohan said. "These are my servants...Brianne and Rozie."
Bulma and Chi-Chi looked confused by the names they were given, though went along with it, figuring Gohan had his reasons.
"Well they look cute...why are you carrying them though?" Gine asked.
"They're tired, and they're fairly new to the planet so they haven't fully adjusted to the gravity," Gohan hoped the story he came up with on the walk over here would work. Fortunately it seemed to since Gine didn't bat an eye.
"Well if they're hungry and don't mind Saiyan food, then I suppose I can whip up a little extra for them," Gine said. "Just take a seat at the table, I'll have the food out shortly."
The others did as told, relaxing as they awaited their meals. Gohan helped his friends sit at the table, adjusting them properly to sit in perfect balance.
"Nice lady huh," Shugesh said. "She may not have the battle instinct of a Saiyan but that don't make her bad company."
"She really is nice, you're so lucky to have her Bardock," Gohan said.
"Yeah she's one of a kind," Bardock said. "Good wife and mother to my kids, rare in a Saiyan woman."
"Sure as hell can't see Fasha as anything like that," Shugesh joked.
"Oh screw you," Fasha shot back.
Gohan still needed time to figure out how to get himself and the girls to safety, but a quick meal break wouldn't hurt, he was hungry. He then heard the voice of a young Saiyan boy, "Mom, I'm off to my battle training!" He walked by Bardock, "Oh hello father."
"Hey son," Bardock said as a boy with long black hair walked by. He looked very familiar to Gohan.
"No way, it couldn't be..." Gohan said.
"Raditz!" Gine called out. "Don't you want to stay a bit longer and see your father after his mission?"
"It's fine, battle training is important," Bardock said. "Go kick some ass son."
"Sure thing," Raditz said, making his way out of the store.
"No way..." Gohan said.
"What's up kid?" Bulma asked.
"Nothing, just..." Gohan turned to Bardock. "So you have a son?"
"Two actually, the other is still in his incubation chamber," Bardock said. "His name's Kakarot."
Gohan could not believe his ears, this man who looks like his father has children named Raditz and Kakarot. "That's so cool."
"Really? Interested in fatherhood?" Bardock asked. "Kind of young though, then again you're just abut that age when you wanna find a mate, or you look it at least."
"He's got two options, assuming he's alright with cross-breeding," Shugesh said, pointing to the girls.
Gohan blushed heavily, as did the girls. Gohan imagined the idea of Bulma bearing his kids, then Chi-Chi- came to mind and he quickly shook that off, that was too weir for him, "No way, they're just servants, that's all." Bulma and Chi-Chi glared slightly at Gohan, but they knew not to speak up, unless they wanted their cover blown.
"Kakarot is a cute baby," Gine said. "He looks just like his father too."
"Wow, can I see? Uh if you don't mind that is," Gohan said.
"Sure, that's fine," Gine said, then turned to her husband. "I gotta finish preparing the food, mind showing Cabba to Kakarot?"
"Uh, sure, that's fine with me," Bardock said, standing up. "Let's go Cabba."
"Coming sir," Gohan said. He turned to the girls first, "Hey, want to join?"
They tried moving but the gravity was still rough on them. Bulma shook her head, "I'm good."
"Same here," Chi-Chi said.
Gohan shrugged and followed Bardock to the back where Kakarot was. Bardock pat the chamber the baby was inside, "There he is, tell me he doesn't look like me."
Gohan gazed curiously at the pod, and sure enough it was him. There was no doubt about it. The Saiyan boy in that pod was none other than his father, the one who would grow up to be his father Goku.
"Wow..." Gohan said. "I can't believe it. He really does look like you."
"I wonder if his kids will look like him, hair style at least," Bardock said. "That would be a funny sight."
Gohan did find humor, knowing his little brother did have the same hairstyle as both his father and his grandfather. That's when it hit Gohan, the man standing beside him, it's his grandfather. The woman outside, cooking food for him, that's his grandmother.
Gohan finally had the chance to meet his grandma and grandpa. This was very surreal to the boy. Gohan didn't know why he was in this timeline, but he's glad he's here, he can get to know more of his family now, and more about The Saiyans.
Back in his timeline, Videl is training with Goku at her house, the young girl having a practice spar against the older Saiyan.
"Wow, you're pretty good Videl, Eighteen's been training you well," Goku said, blocking each of her strikes. Videl tried harder, hoping to get one hit on Goku, what made her even more nervous was that Seventeen was there too, standing beside his sister. She really wanted him to see just how strong she's gotten.
"You trained quite a strong kid Eighteen," Seventeen complimented, turning to face his sister. She looked distracted however. "Uh, sis, you alright there?"
"Huh? Eighteen turned to face Seventeen. "Oh, I'm fine."
"Worried about Gohan?" Seventeen asked.
"Yeah," Eighteen admitted. She wasn't going to bother hiding it. "Maybe we should have gone with him wherever he went, I don't even know if it was suppose to take this long."
"You couldn't get any information out of the time Kai?" Seventeen asked.
"No, none at all," Eighteen said. "I can't stand not knowing what's happening."
"Well, if things take too long, we'll just go see the Supreme Kai of Universe 7, and have him take us to the Time Nest, maybe from there we can see what Gohan's up to," Seventeen said.
"Huh, finally using that brain of yours?" Eighteen teased.
Seventeen playfully glared at his sister with a somewhat friendly smile, "You have a weird way of thanking people sis."
Eighteen smiled back at her brother, "You know me so well bro."
The two continued to observe Goku's training of Videl, if things came down to it, perhaps they can also join them to help check on Gohan. They only hoped they could pull him out of any danger he could end up in.
