Author foreword: I would like to admit, I've been on a slight break, but I usually create these at will and within an hour or two at least. Either way I'll keep saying, this is a side project, so while I will use it for improvement on writing and I'll take critiques, this is just for fun and all
For the current critiques about pairings…. Other than the established stuff, I believe in off-screen Tien x Launch, but as for Yamcha…. Well I'll have to give it a thought. Also for Fasha. Tora's is a secret
Anyway this time, we got us meeting the last of the Z Fighters before we continue on with the training!

"Can we make a quick stop guys? I need to uh... "
The saiyans stared at Goku as he took out a small capsule. Activating it, a small vial appeared, where in he drank it
"Ugh…. well I guess it works."
"Kakerrot, what is that?" Gine asked
"Medication, the other Super Saiyan gave it"
"For what?" Bardock's eyes squinted at him
"Uh…. Heart condition"
"WHAT?!"
"The traveler says Goku will die of a heart virus in a few years." Piccolo explained quickly, "Well, he might. Thus a medicine was given to him for consume in order to keep his health up."
"W-wait, no other Saiyans get this right?" A concerned Gine questioned
"Not really, seems like only Dad is suffering from it. Last we checked Vegeta and I are fine." Gohan explained, "Oh, I already see the mountain Tien is living at! And I can feel his energy!"
"Oh, I think I feel Chiaotzu and Launch too!" Goku exclaimed
"Launch?"
"Sorry Gohan, forgot all about her. She's a friend I met when I first started going around the world for Dragon Balls! Just don't be near her when she sneezes…."
As the group closed in to the mountain, a bright light flew up, revealing Tien and Chiaotzu
"Hey guys!" Yelled the smaller of the two. He leaped up and gave Gohan a hug
"It's good to see you Goku. Still fine so far?"
"Uhuh, ever the Super guy!"
"So, uh, who's that with you?" He narrowed his eyes and pointed at the four strangers behind him
"Oh, more Saiyans that somehow arrived here!"
There was a temporary silence before Tien face palmed
"So really, who are these people?"
"Its uh… its a long story." Gohan added as he came up….

"The experiment might be absolutely ruined, but at least there's some salvageable portions to it."
"You might be right Mira. As long as we can mess up the perfection the Kais wish for." Towa looked up at the Namek sky. They had arrived at the edge while Goku struggled with Frieza. They kept giving the Tyrant energy
"Think we should send in someone appropriate?"
"Hm?" Towa looked up at her creation
"The other of Cold's two children."
"Ah, possibly. Only if he fails however. As for Turles and Slug…. Well we'll just let them handle it. Then again they are dunces who're only useful for experiments."
A sudden spike soon drew the two's attention to the fight with Frieza
"It seems a time patroller is a assisting Goku with the spirit bomb…." Mira commented
"Don't worry Mira, we're only testing how this goes… let's just watch."
"And then check on Bardock and his adventure."
"Ofcourse. It'll be good to see Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time squirm….

"... and that's the gist of it."
The group sat on some rocks as Gohan explained their circumstances. Tien, who was intently listening, scratched his head before staring dead on at the one he knew now as Bardock
"I hope you take responsibility for your actions. I won't tolerate threats to our home."
Bardock scoffed, "Make us and see where-"
Tien sneered, "I think I'm the stronger one here, considering Piccolo could wipe you"
"Wanna bet?"
"Uh guys? I'm getting a bit hungry!" Goku broke the tension, earning a dead pan stare from Tien
"... fine, since you're visiting I'll let you in."
As the group got up and to where Tien and Chiaotzu were living at, Tien grabbed Bardock's shoulder, earning a sharp glance from him and Tora
"You owe me a fight sooner or later" Tien said
"You can count on it, Triclops" Bardock shrugged off Tien and followed his compatriots…

"Hi, my name is Gohan!"
"Oh, what a nice name! Im Launch!"
The blue haired girl then shook hands with the young boy as the other Saiyans dug into the food, much to Tiens chagrin, Gohan having already finished his serving.
"Y'know, you remind me of your father!"
"T-thanks!" He said. Gohan always got that compliment a lot from his dad's friends
"How about I tell you about the time I met your father. He and Krillin were on their way to train while I was… preoccupied and ran into them…."
As the two chatted, Goku and Tien sat together, also reminiscing on old times
"So, your father and mother…. Huh."
"Crazy right? I guess it was meant to be or something." Goku thought, thinking about it, "I didn't think I would look so similar!"
"What was your idea of your parents?" Tien inquired
"Uh…. I was thinking they would be like Raditz…." Goku said honestly, shocking Tien, "Had they not somehow end up here, I probably would've lived my life without knowing."
"Goku, Saiyan or not, they're your family, you must have had at least have some curiosity right?" Tien looked to his former rival
"Eh… not really. Even if they're my real parents, I'm not interested in anything involving Saiyans other than Vegeta and my family!" Goku admitted honestly, "I can't really concentrate on important things or old stuff if it's already happened. I gotta look forward and do what I need to do. Tien, remember how we buried our rivalry and moved on? Something like that!"
Tien was about to rebuke his statement, before a sneeze rang out. Snaping his head to that direction, he ran off, followed by Goku as gun shots were heard.
"Aaaarghhh! You twerp!"
"Ah! Hey! What's going on!?"
As the duo entered, they saw Gohan under a table while a surprised Blond Launch stood there with a signature uzi.
"Tien! Who's this brat…. Goku?"
"Oh hey! Uh me and my son are visiting!" Goku said quickly. In spite of his natural tolerance to bullets and his honed reflexes… he was still scared of Launch. The other Saiyans looked in as Gohan quickly crawled out
"Uh… hey Goku, maybe you guys can uh… oh! Check on Yamcha!" Chiaotzu quickly blurted out
"Uh yeah sure! Thanks for thefoodseeyouguyslater!" Goku rushed his son and friends outside. The two lovers stood there as Launch calmed down
"Well, atleast he isn't a pervert like his father. By the way, want another round tonight?"
Tien rolled his eyes "This is why noone invites us to game nights at Bulma's place…"
"Hey! All I need is you and the shrimp!"

"So the last guy we're meeting with is a… Yamcha?" Tora asked Goku as the group flew off. By now, Piccolo and Gohan had went back to the camp as Goku and co flew over the desert, noon sky tinting everything in orange
"He's an old friend of mine… I think he's still training so far." Goku looked about "He lives with his shape-shifter friend, Puar. She's a cat by the way."
"Uh-huh." Gine nodded. By now the surprises had run out after the field of dinosaurs
"I wish I could introduce you to more friends, but we've gotta get back to training."
"Right, I want to see just how strong the legendary super saiyan is!" Bardock smirked to his son
"Ah, there they are!"
Out in the desert, there was a small trailer under a rocky outcropping. There, on the top, was Yamcha, who was practicing martial arts moves. As soon as he spotted Goku, he waved at his friend, who waved back as the group landed
"Hey Yamcha! How's it going buddy?"
"I'm doing fine Goku… who're your friends anyway? Especially the guy with your hair?"
"Funny story…."
Yamcha grabbed his friend's shoulder as they walked to the trailer
"So, who's the ladies?"
"Oh them? My mom and her friend."
"Oh, your- WAIT WHAT?!" Yamcha's eyes nearly fell out
"Yeah, long story…."

"You think dad and the others are alright Mr Piccolo?"
"Sure" The namek said as he built a tent. The fire was already on and the sun was setting behind the tree lines. "Well, hopefully Yamcha didn't get himself in trouble."
"Why do you say that?" Gohan asked
Piccolo just gave a knowing smirk, "Trouble with Earth women."
"Oh! I think I see them!"
5 glowing saiyans flew over the treelines, descending at the camp. However when Gohan went up to meet them, he saw a troubled Goku, Fasha and Bardock Flustered, and Tora and Gine trying to calm them down
"Uh.. what the heck happened?"
"Oh I'll tell you what happened, an idiot of a man made a fool of himself to me!" Fasha yelled
"Damn idiots, are your Earthlings that dumb and stupid?" Bardock sneered
"Please, he was just mistakened!" Gine replied
"Agh… I think Yamcha's gonna need a few Senzus for that one…" Goku scratched his head and laughed it off. "Anyway is dinner ready?"
"Sure! It's….."
Gohan was about to continue until his eyes grew in realization of something
"Ah no, we forgot about mom!"
Piccolo just stared as Goku went from confused to screaming
"OH NO! Chi Chi's gonna be mad if I tell her! Oh, how do I even explain it to her, I had to run off with Gohan to start training!" He panicked
"Er… we don't need to live together." Tora pointed out "If we can, we could just move into the cities or the wilderness. It's not like we have to live in with you."
"Ah… true…." Goku looked up
"Anyway we'll talk about it later. Beef stew anyone?"
"Oo Oo! Give me some!"
"Hey, I'd like some meat right about now!"
"After beating that loser I'd want some of that…"
"Thank you very much Gohan!" Gine thanked
