Hello, readers!
Here we are, back with the second chapter of our crazy story!
We didn't put the disclaimer on the first chapter, did we? Darn it. Well, we can still do it on the second chapter. We don't own anything, although it would be awesome if we did. xD
Now, off you go to read the chapter!
ENJOY!
"So, Goku Son is now our classmate..." A beautiful blonde woman sighed. "Great. The Doctor's most hated enemy is on this school."
"I don't see why you're worrying so much, Sis," the woman's black-haired twin said with a shrug. They were sitting on a table, for it was lunch break. The brother was happily eating everything. The sister, however, was not.
"Why, you ask?" Her eyes narrowed. "Can I remind you, Lapis, that if the Doctor happens to track Goku Son to this school, it will be very probable that he will find us as well?"
"That's not gonna happen, Lazuli," Lapis said.
"How can you be sure?" Lazuli asked. "I don't think the Doctor was exactly happy when we escaped the lab. When he finds us, he'll want us back. And who knows what that old creep will do to us? He'll just probably experiment on us more!"
Lapis and Lazuli had been normal human teenage delinquents, but that changed when Doctor Gero met and kidnapped them. Gero only cared about himself; that, and getting revenge for the fallen Red Ribbon Army. He turned them into the Androids #17 and #18, designed to fight and defeat their creator's enemies.
But, #17 and #18 were rebellious. They did whatever they wanted, and the Doctor had a hard time controlling them. Their memories had been deleted from their brains, but they were still curious about their past. The Doctor promised them to give them more information if they were obedient, but the only thing they could learn were their former names; Lapis and Lazuli.
Eventually they realized that Gero would never give them any information other than that. After all, they were just experiments to him. When they got tired of the Doctor's games, they, along with their only friend in the lab, Android #16, decided to escape and create a life of their own.
Now, they were at school in order to try and live the lives normal teenagers would have. They were Seventeen and Eighteen no longer. They were back into being Lapis and Lazuli. Even Sixteen managed to get a normal life and get into college, and he was not even a human to begin with!
However, with Goku Son at the school, it would be much harder to hide from the Doctor and keep their Android identities a secret. And that was something to worry about.
Lapis was about to reply, but he did not, as they realized that one of the few friends they made, Violet, was making her way towards them. She, like the rest of the school, did not know they were actually cyborgs. And they hoped they could keep it that way.
"Hey," Violet greeted, sitting next to them. "What happened? You guys look worried."
"It's nothing, Violet," Lazuli said. "Don't worry about it."
Violet was actually one of the few classmates that Lazuli did not think of as annoying. She was a tough girl that was not to mess with, and she had gained the respect and friendship of the twins.
"If you say so..." Violet shrugged. 'I know something is wrong, but I don't want to bother them. It must be personal if they don't want to tell me,' she thought as she began eating her food.
'Once again, Goku and the others get the attention and I end up being overlooked,' Krillin thought miserably as he neared the canteen doors. He had been the only one so far not to make a new friend.
As he entered, however, with the dull background of Goku and the guys chatting and laughing, he saw something that literally froze time for him; the most perfect girl on Earth. She was tall (well, tall to his standards), blonde, beautiful and sultrily icy.
'I think I just found the one. Screw grades! She is my only goal this year,' Krillin thought excitedly to himself as time started up again.
With that in mind he found momentary confidence and ignoring the others started to stride confidently towards her table.
As he reached the table his nerves kicked in. "Hey! I was wondering if you guys minded me joining you? My friends kinda ditched me," Krillin said with a forced smile. The blonde girl shrugged in response, so Krillin went ahead anyway. Leaning over the table, he introduced himself. "I'm Krillin, by the way."
"I'm Lapis," the black-haired boy said. "This is my sister, Lazuli. And that's Violet."
"Hello," Violet greeted coolly.
"Hi," Lazuli greeted as well, but her response did not have much emotion.
"Nice to meet you all. So, Lazuli, what year are you in?" Krillin asked, resting his elbow on the table.
However, in his anxious state and being excited, he had not limited his energy and he exerted so much pressure he split the table in half. The food clattered around the floor and he fell face first into what had been Lapis's lunch. 'Well this couldn't have gone worse,' he thought morbidly as he slowly stood up, rubbing the back of his head he flashed a grin in an attempt to defuse the situation. Which is incredibly difficult when you're bald head is covered in mashed potato.
"Hey! That was my lunch, Idiot!" Lapis snapped, not happy about losing his lunch.
Lazuli smiled in amusement at Krillin, and frowned when her brother insulted him. "Shut up, Lapis. Losing your lunch won't kill you. You had eaten enough, anyways." She turned to Krillin and smiled at him. She thought he was amusing, even cute. Not to mention, he was obviously strong. "You're pretty strong. I guess you are really a World Martial Arts Tournament finalist. And to answer your question, we're on the same class as you, 12th grade C."
"Yeah. I'm no Goku, but I'm not a pushover either." He smiled at Lazuli and he suddenly had an idea. "Ah, that's great! That we are in the same class, I mean. Um, are you any good at Biology? It's just I'm not, and may need some... tutoring," Krillin said with a hint of a cheeky grin, encouraged by her warmer demeanor.
Lazuli shrugged. "I'm not the best in Biology, but I guess I could help sometime."
Lapis blinked hard. He thought his sister would reject the bald dwarf, just like she did to every boy that flirted with her. But, instead, she actually agreed to tutor him! "What?"
"Thanks! Well, I'm sure we'll be able to make it fun," Krillin replied with a small wink to Lazuli and smirk to Lapis.
Lazuli just smiled back at the little guy. She thought he was a nice guy. Kinda cute in a way, too. "Yeah, I guess."
Lapis, though, was almost dying. The smirk did not help at all either. He was furious! "Wait, wait, wait! You met him two minutes ago, and now you're offering tutoring?" he asked angrily. "You do realize he doesn't want you to just 'tutor' him, right?"
Lazuli rolled her eyes at her protective brother. "I can do what I want to, Lapis." 'Besides, what harm could he do?' She did not think anything out of ordinary would happen. She could tell that Krillin was not like all those other jocks that tried to hit on her. He seemed too nice to do that. "I don't mind helping you in Biology," she told Krillin. "We could be friends."
'Oh, man,' Violet laughed to herself. The little guy just got sent into the friendzone! 'Poor little fool.'
"Yeah, I'd like that." Krillin smiled weakly. 'Once more into the friendzone...' he thought sadly, whilst maintaining a cheery appearance.
Meanwhile, Vegeta was looking on in wonder at the tiny monk's success. "The runt is managing to flirt with her. I, the Prince of all Saiyans, didn't get this warm response," Vegeta grumbled to his brother, Tarble.
'Great. As if the fact a Saiyan with a higher power level than him turned up hadn't angered him enough.' Tarble had told Vegeta that the sister of Goku Son and her friend were most probably Saiyans. That made Vegeta realize that the guy he thought of as a worthy challenge was a Saiyan himself. It honestly bothered the Prince that an Earth-raised Saiyan with an Earthling name would be so strong. Tarble sighed to himself fearing what came next. "Vegeta, where are you going?" he asked warily as his older brother rose from the table.
"To fuck up the runt's day," Vegeta replied briskly as he stalked off.
'Of course...' Tarble groaned.
"Great," Lazuli said to Krillin with a smile. Then she saw Vegeta approach and frowned. "Oh, no."
"Hey, guys. Whatcha doing?" Vegeta asked in a scarily calm tone.
"Hey, Vegeta," Lapis greeted. "What's with the tone of voice?"
"Hi, Lapis. Well, it goes like that when I smell trash and Baldy here reeks. I figured I'd remove him." Vegeta smirked dangerously as he rounded on Krillin. Seeing this Tarble got out of his chair and made a beeline for where Goku and a three eyed guy were talking.
"You guys may want to check on your friend. He's about to be on the receiving end of a douchebag," Tarble warned the two older guys as he pointed to the increasingly menacing Vegeta.
Goku and Tien turned to see Vegeta threatening Krillin. Goku got mad about that. But he was also amazed by the other guy's power. 'He's much stronger than he looks. I don't think Krillin can stand up to him.' He turned to Tien. "C'mon, Tien! We gotta help him!"
Lazuli sneered at Vegeta and stood up from her chair. "Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" she warned.
Seeing Goku and Tien dashing over Krillin relaxed. 'Thank Kami! This guy is insane. And he's around the same league than Goku. I would've been murdered!' he thought in relief.
Goku reached towards Krillin first than Tien, and glared at Vegeta. "What the hell are you doing?" he asked angrily, defending his best friend. "'Cause it seems you want to get into a fight with my best friend!"
"Well deduced, Sherlock! Though I wasn't out to fight him per say; he couldn't even put up a worthy struggle. It would have been more of a brutal ass kicking. You, however, are a different story," Vegeta sneered in response as he glared up at Goku.
Goku narrowed his eyes at Vegeta. "You shouldn't underestimate Krillin. He's an awesome fighter, y'know?" But he had to admit that the power levels between Krillin and Vegeta were very different. Vegeta's was much higher. "But I admit you're quite strong. I don't think you're as strong as me, though," he added, smirking tauntingly at the other Saiyan.
"That was a mistake." Vegeta hissed, his eyes narrowing as he squared up to Goku. "I will teach you to respect your Prince."
"My Prince?" Goku blinked, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not my Prince!"
"I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta barked as he powered up. "Now bow."
"What?!" Goku did not expect that at all. 'He's the Saiyan Prince?! Are there even more Saiyans alive? No way!' He was shocked, and he was not the only one because his sister and their friends were obviously surprised too.
"He's our Prince?!" Tanip asked in a shocked whisper to Mato, who seemed to be just as surprised as her.
"It seems so..." he whispered back, his face showing his shock.
"There are more Saiyans alive?" Goku asked to Vegeta.
"Yes, Peasant. My Royal Family, for a start, including my brother who sent you over here," Vegeta informed.
Tanip's eyes widened and Mato's mouth dropped. "Tarble is a Saiyan Prince?!" she asked in shock. Mato could only nod, clearly surprised that their new friend happened to be one of their race's Princes.
"Huh. I'd guessed you were a royal asshole anyway," Tien quipped.
"Another bald guy I have to kill... You'll go extinct at this rate," Vegeta taunted as he turned to Tien.
"No!" Goku began powering up. "I don't care if you're the Saiyan Prince or not. No-one messes with my friends and get away with it. Your battle is with me!"
"Goku, not now. Not here! There are too many people," Krillin warned his best friend.
"He's right. Besides, if he wants a fight from me he can have one. I'm not far off you in terms of power. I could take this royal runt," Tien growled.
"Okay then. You, Baldy, against me. School field, 5 PM. You, too, Saiyan."
Goku sighed. "Fine." He glared at Vegeta. "I'm in, 'Prince'," he said, sarcasm obvious when he said the last word.
"Excellent. See you later, Weaklings," Vegeta smirked as he stalked off.
All the students who noticed the confrontation were gossiping about what happened. Vegeta was one of the scariest not to mention strongest guys in the school. The students knew not to mess with him, but maybe the World Champion would be able to defeat him in a match. It got them really curious of who would win, but it made them even more curious of how they seemed to know about each other without meeting first. They talked about something of princes and soya, and everyone was really confused. However, it seemed the ones involved and their friends understood perfectly.
As the gossiping went on the participants in the affair dealt with matters. "Great. Been here 3 hours and we're already in an honor fight... Best to tell the others," Tien sighed wearily to Goku as he patted him on the back and led him to the others.
"Well done, Big Bro. First new Saiyans in years and you immediately decide to try and kill one. Dad will be impressed," Tarble lectured as a smug Vegeta sat down.
"Hm… Father would not be pleased if I kill him. Fine. It will be non-fatal. So, will you be my second just in case?" Vegeta asked his brother neutrally. He realized he had not handled things well and angered his brother, so kept calm at the telling off.
"Yes. Of course I will. We are brothers, and last time I checked you were barely stronger than me," Tarble teased lightly to diffuse tension.
"Whatever," Vegeta said.
Chi-Chi was hanging out with her new friends, Bulma and Launch, when they heard what happened between Goku and Vegeta. The three girls went to their friends to ask more of what had happened. When they arrived, they saw Goku and their other friends, along with two other girls and one boy. Chi-Chi recognized Lapis, Lazuli and Violet, but Bulma and Launch did not, so they had to introduce themselves to them.
"So, what happened here with that Vegeta fella, 'ey?" Launch asked. She had sneezed so she was now in her blonde, violent self. She had sneezed at lunch, right in front of Chi-Chi, and to be honest, the black-haired girl's reaction had been hilarious. "We heard you were gonna have a fight."
"Yeah," Goku admitted. "The worst part is; Vegeta is a Saiyan, and he happens to be the Saiyan Prince."
Bulma and Launch gasped in shock, but Chi-Chi blinked in confusion. 'What is a Saiyan?' she wondered.
"And his brother is actually in our class," Tanip said. "But he wasn't such a douchebag."
"His brother actually warned me and Goku about Vegeta," Tien said.
Lazuli crossed her arms. "Sorry to interrupt, but you haven't told us what is a 'Saiyan'."
"A Saiyan is a very powerful being... like Goku. They tend to be above all others in terms of ability and aggression hence Vegeta being a dick," Krillin explained briefly, hoping that would satiate curiosity for now.
"But, wait. Even if you're this 'Saiyan', you're still human, right?" Chi-Chi asked Goku.
"Yeah…" Goku lied. He did not want to tell the truth to anyone he could not trust completely. Besides, he did not how they would take the knowledge that he was an alien.
"Totally human!" Tanip lied as well, wanting to back up her brother. Mato decided to help as well, and nodded in agreement, even though he knew they were not telling the truth.
'I wonder if the Doctor knew about this,' Lazuli thought. 'He never gave us this information, so he probably doesn't know about Saiyans. That's a good thing, I guess. For them, at least.'
'The hell is Gero?' Chiaotzu thought as he picked up a stray thought of Lazuli's. 'Have to mention it to Goku sometime.'
Just then, the bell rang signalizing the end of lunch break. Goku sighed at the thought of class, but he knew they had to go. "C'mon, guys. S'time for class." The group nodded and walked towards their classrooms for the next entertaining class. It was the first day, so class was, basically, talking about the rules and what they would learn this year, and it was not so fun at all.
As they entered the classroom, Goku and Vegeta's eyes met and they glared at each other before sitting on their respective seats. Chi-Chi noticed this, and when she sat next to Goku, she just had to ask. "Are you really going to fight?"
Goku nodded. He loved to fight, but he knew the Saiyan Prince was no pushover. 'How come the Royal Family survived and no-one knew about it?' It did suck that the only two Saiyans they met after years happened to be the Princes, and they were already going to fight. "Yeah. Today, in the school field, at 5 PM." He did not know much about Prince Vegeta, other than the fact that he was born as an Elite, and was extremely strong. 'But, even if he's the Prince, I won't let him beat me.'
'It really seems serious. I never actually saw Vegeta fight, but I have a hunch he's pretty strong. Goku is the World Champion so he must be pretty strong, too. I still don't think they can be stronger than me though. Dad is one of the strongest men alive, and I am stronger than him. But, still, it would be interesting to watch Goku and Vegeta fight. Especially Goku.' She blushed at the thought. "Are you worried? If you want, I could help you fight, you know."
Goku almost laughed, but he held it back. "I don't think that'd be a good idea," he said. "Vegeta is definitely no pushover and neither am I."
"I'm not pushover either!" Chi-Chi was offended. 'Does he think I'm not strong enough for him?' "My dad is the Ox-King, and he trained me to be a fighter. I'm stronger than him, and he's one of the strongest men alive, you know!"
"Ox-King…?" Goku tried to think. The name sounded familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it. "That sounds familiar…" But he was not able to think who the 'Ox-King' was, though. "So, your dad trained you?"
"Yes," Chi-Chi said. "And I am pretty strong!"
Goku knew he, his family, the other Saiyans, and his friends were much stronger than Chi-Chi, but he did not want to break her heart. Besides, she really was very strong for a human. "I bet you are."
There was no place for more conversation between them, because the teacher began talking about the rules on his class and the contents they would learn. No-one wanted to get scolded on the first day of school, so they actually paid attention to the teacher. Chi-Chi, however, was still not happy that Goku seemed to be underestimating her. 'I'll go to watch this fight and see how they fight. I'm sure I can use this opportunity to study Goku's abilities. I'm going to prove myself to him! I'm going to show him that I am strong!'
School finally ended and it was 4:55 PM. Goku and his friends were walking towards the field the fight with Vegeta would occur in. Chi-Chi had tagged along with them, since she wanted to see the fight herself. Goku loved to fight and he was very excited, but he was not sure if fighting the Prince of all Saiyans would be such a good idea.
"Goku, Vegeta's arrived and he has servants with him," Tien groaned as he pointed to the oncoming combatants.
Vegeta confidently stalked his way across the field, nearing the agreed meet point. Tarble was sullenly close behind and he was escorted by a huge, bald man in his late 20s with a thin moustache. He looked like a sadistic and confident warrior.
"Let's just do this. I want to be done by tea at six," Vegeta sneered at Goku.
"We're playing fair. Nappa behind me is only here to watch. Same as the rest of the school," Tarble informed Goku; becoming mildly nervous at the growing audience.
There were a lot of students who had somehow learned about the fight and had come to watch. After all, Vegeta was one of the toughest yet mysterious guys from the school and Goku was the World Martial Arts Champion. They were all interested on who would win in a fight, and they had even made bets about who would be the winner.
Goku sighed. 'Damn. I had hoped there would be less people for this fight and yet the whole school is here.' But that was not going to stop him from fighting. "That's fine," he told Tarble. "My friends are here to watch, too." He signalized to the other Z-Fighters who had decided to come and watch. "They won't interfere with our fight."
"Enough with the talk. I'm ending this," Vegeta snapped as a thin aura began to form around him.
"Sounds good to me!" Goku said, an aura forming around him as well.
"Let's put on a show for the masses!" Tarble grinned as he dramatically flared up an aura
Tien saw this and grinned back, expanding his aura so it was blazing and massive.
Vegeta had only begun to charge Ki and his aura expanded continuously. Quickly dirt began to rise up around him and the earth began to shake. Each time his aura expanded shockwaves rippled the ground. Goku noticed this and began to power up more as well. Dirt and little rocks began to float around him as Goku's aura blazed powerfully around him. The ground was shaking beneath the two Saiyans as they had an epic staredown.
At the sight of such unbridled power and the physical assault caused by the shockwaves the students watching began to panic. They realized that they were witnessing beings that were so powerful the students must seem like ants; and that scared them beyond belief. Many began to flee. Most stayed and watched, fixed in fear and awe, especially one young girl.
Chi-Chi was staring at the scene with her eyes wide open. She could not believe what she was seeing. 'Is this a dream?' She would tell herself she was just imagining things, but she could actually feel the power coming from Goku and Vegeta, and she guessed she would not be able to do that if it was just a dream. She had thought she would be strong enough to fight Goku and Vegeta, but it was clear that she did not stand a chance. 'I guess I can't take them on in a fight after all…'
But she was the Ox-Princess! Her father—the Ox-King—trained her himself, and she was already stronger than him! She could beat every fighter back at her village, and she had thought that in this situation it would be no different. However, Goku and Vegeta were surrounded by a powerful aura that showed off their great power, and she did not even know how they did that. 'How are they doing those auras? I've never seen anyone do something like that.' She had thought that having superpowers was only in fiction, but now she was starting to believe that she may be wrong after all. Goku and Vegeta were living proofs of that. 'Just how strong are they?'
'Damn, that Vegeta guy is pretty much as strong as Goku. His brother is no pushover either. I'm not sure I could take him if it comes to it. This could be trouble,' Tien thought with grim surprise.
'Cute and powerful; that Vegeta gets better every minute,' Bulma appraised, glancing at a horrified Yamcha in mild disappointment
"Shit," Yamcha simply said as it dawned on him he wasn't even one of the top four strongest warriors anymore.
"I need to train more. I mean, that Tarble dude is nearly twice my power! I can't be the second strongest half pint. That's just embarrassing," Krillin groaned, before noticing he was next to Chiaotzu. "No offence, man," Krillin added awkwardly as he noticed the pissed off expression on his friend's face.
"It's fine," Chiaotzu replied coldly. 'Why do I even bother training?' he asked himself sarcastically as he felt the vast gulf between his Ki and Tarble's let alone Vegeta's.
"Wow!" the blue-haired Launch exclaimed in surprise at the Saiyans' power. "This seems serious."
"That guy is about as strong as your brother, Tanip!" Mato exclaimed in surprise.
Tanip just snorted. She was sure that her brother would win. He always managed to win. "Yeah, right! He may be powerful, but my brother will beat him. You'll see."
"This isn't normal!" Violet was shocked by what was happening. "If I wasn't the only one watching this, I'd say I'm going mad. This is like some kind of movie!"
Lapis and Lazuli were surprised, too, but it was not for the same reason as Violet. 'They're powerful.' Lapis gritted his teeth. 'I am supposed to be a very powerful android! How come these dudes are stronger'n me?'
Lazuli was amazed at their power. 'What the Doctor said is true. Goku Son is definetly no pushover. I didn't think Vegeta would be this powerful, either. Is it because they're "Saiyans" as Krillin said?'
"So...are we going to do this or what?" Tarble asked Tien as his brother's and Goku's power rampaged around them.
"Or we could stand here, look tough, impress girls with the light show and not get caught up in that suicidal bloodbath?" Tien counter-proposed as he gestured vaguely to a newly formed crater Goku caused when powering up.
"Yeah... let's go with your plan," Tarble laughed in reply, realizing he had been acting like his battle eager brother.
"I want a fight someday though, Kid. For now, let's sit back and be eye candy," Tien replied with a smirk as he flared his aura again, continuing the show.
Goku got bored of the powering up. His Saiyan blood called for him to finally begin the fight. "Okay. Ready or not; here I come!" he yelled as he quickly got off the ground and flew directly towards the awaiting Saiyan Prince.
And here is the second chapter! We hope you enjoyed it! More characters have made an appearance, and of course there are still more of 'em waiting for their own appearance on this story. :P
Oh, man, Goku and Vegeta will fight! Who will win?! We know! You, however, will have to wait for the next chapter. CLIFFHANGER! xD
Now, it is time to reply to our reviewers!
xchrispx: High school fics are awesome, but usually, everyone is human on those. We thought it would be fun to write a fic that followed the DBZ world somehow, you know, with the Saiyans, Androids, Z-Fighters, etc. :P Glad you like the idea, and the addition of Tanip as well! About Goku's mom, yes, it is Gine, and you will see her soon. :P
YunaNara: We are glad you liked it! We hope you liked the second chapter, too. :)
yonkeya: Glad you like our story! Hopefully, the second chapter did not disappoint!
