It's time to meet Hana's grandmother. And a few other things are going to happen. I don't own either original story. I only own Hana, her people, the green haired girl, and Bardock's genin team. Please support both stories. This is brought to you by a twenty two year old Christian.

Ch. 8 Preparing for the Fight of Their lives.

Raditz, Vegeta, and Nappa landed inside the village. They were greeted by Hana and a short old woman.

"I'm Hana, and this is my grandmother Ayame." The young woman said. The old woman was to Vegeta's chest, she had silver hair, tan wrinkled skin, and sapphire eyes.

"So your the youngsters that have been causing all this trouble for us." Ayame said with her raspy voice.

"Not like you could've stopped us by yourself." Nappa said with a smirk on his face.

"I don't think so young man."

"Are you challenging me old lady?"

"Yes I am. You wanna go a round?"

"Here we go again." Hana said as she facepalmed.

"Again?" Raditz asked as her grandmother and his comrade walked to the middle of the empty road.

"She does this all the time. One hit is all it takes."

"For what? For her to loose?"

"No, for her to win." She said simply.

"This'll be fun to watch." Vegeta said as he leaned up against the wall.

Nappa got into a fighting stance, while Ayame just stood there completely open.

"I'M GONNA WIPE THE FLOOR YOU YA!" Nappa declared as he charged in to beat her to a pulp.

It happened faster then they could see. Like Hana said, she beat him with one hit. His feet were dangling from the hole in the wall he just made. His comrades were just laughing their heads off at the fact she beat him so quickly. Nappa got out of the hole with an angry look on his face that only made them laugh even harder. He then stormed off, and his teammates eventually settled down.

...

Training then began, they learned the basics of chakara, and how to control it. They had their moments where they couldn't do something like the children, but they got around it, eventually getting the hang of it. They even taught the villagers to use ki. The people took it rather well.

...

It was two months later that Nappa was once again sulking about his loss to the old woman. It drove him crazy that she beat him in one hit. Hearing footsteps approaching him he turned around to find the reason he was there.

"What do you want old woman?" Nappa growled.

"I've come to warn you to never underestimate your opponents. Otherwise you'll be dead before the final battle ends."

"I got my butt handed to be by a one hundred three year old woman. Not to mention I know what to expect from the PTO. And your telling me that I need to be careful? That's stupid." He turned around to where he was facing before.

"I know that you know, but you must be careful, and always keep a cool head in combat. I like you boy, you remind me of my son before he died. Prideful and strong." She said somberly. "I told him what I told you, and he didn't listen. It cost him his life. And he never held Hana once since he died before she was born."

Nappa was surprised to hear that from her. To think that he reminded her of her own son. When he turned to reply, she was gone. "Ninja, always sneaking around." He stopped sulking and started training.

...

Meanwhile back on Earth, when it finally became one year since the two universes joined together. Sarutobi sent out sent out seven teams of ninja to retrieve the seven Dragonballs.

"I could get them all ya' know." Goku said to the aging Hokage.

"I know, Goku, but we can get them much faster this way. You are leading one of the teams you know. This will be your first 'A' ranked mission, it's continence 'S' ranked. You leave tomorrow." He said as a smile on young Saiyan's face grew.

"I'll do my best Lord Hokage." He said as he walked up to the window and flew off.

The old man sighed. "Why can't they use the door?"

...

"Goku, are you ready to go yet? You have to be at the gate in five minuets." Chi-Chi said, her voice echoing through the halls.

Goku appeared behind his wife and grabbed her in a hug making her yelp. "I'm done. And I gotta go. I love you." He then kissed her neck causing her to smile. He left as quickly as he go to her, and she got back to making lunch for the boys.

...

"Alright guys you ready to go?" Goku asked his team consisting of Krillin, Kakashi, and Asuma.

"So what's your dad planing with the Dragonballs?" Asuma asked.

"I'm not sure, he never told me. But your dad is the one paying for this mission, as strange as that sounds." Goku replied.

"Alright, let's find the ball on our map. That way we can have this mission over and done with. It'll be easy." Krillin said.

"There's no such thing as an easy 'A' rank. They always have a catch to them." Kakashi said.

"He's right, Let's do this quickly, and quietly. Why didn't Hirouzan put you in charge of your own group Kakashi?" Goku asked.

"I guess he wants me with someone who knows how to hunt them down. After, all you are an expert on that. So, by your command Kakarot."

"Alight then let's move out." With that they left.

...

"Senscei, I saw some Genin from another village today." Kikyo said after their training for the day was complete.

"Well, that's because of the Chunin exams. They're finally happening, and I know that without a doubt you're all ready." He said with pride in his voice.

"You better hope so Bardock." Said a voice that sent chills down his spine. He turned around and there he was.

"Orochimaru, so good to see you again." he lied. That guy gave him the creeps, and had he not been one of the third Hokage's students, he would've killed him for his ki alone. It scared him, though he would never admit it.

"Your students won't be the only ones joining in this year, as all of my students will be joining in on the fun."

"Well out of all of your students. I say Anko has the most potential."

"Now there's something I can agree with you on. Tell me though. Where is your son going that he's leading a mission?"

"The information is an 'S' ranked secrete. So sorry, but you would need the Hokage to tell you." He said hoping to deflate his hopes of ever knowing.

"Alright then, I'll see you later Bardock."The Snake sannin said as he walked away from the training ground.

"Later." 'Mr. Creepy.' He mentally added.

...

Back on the Ninja planet Caturanga it was the day before Frieza would come for the planet. Raditz was watching the sunset on a cliff. He was just sitting there thinking about how it was going to turn out. He knew they would be cutting it close. Their only hope is that Frieza didn't go for broke and destroy the planet. He really liked these people. They were kind and they helped bring the best out of him everyday. He never dreamed he would be this strong, but now he is. And he never would've gained this power if he never came here. He really hated to even say this, but this planet may be seeing it's last sunset.

"Hey, mind if I join you?" Hana asked. Raditz gestured for her to have a seat and she took it. "So, what's on your mind?"

"Frieza will be coming tomorrow. Everyone's here, and Frieza won't have a lot of his men." Raditz said, but she could see something was bothering him.

"But?"

"There's a chance that he may go for broke. If that does happen then we're all dead."

"That's why my grandmother is going to fight him."

"She is?! She'll get creamed!"

"She has the gift of foresight. She told me that Frieza won't be the cause of her death. In fact, she'll win."

"But how? How can she win against the most powerful being in the universe?"

"She didn't say, but she's been acting a little odd lately. She's been doing things that she's been putting off for the longest time. It's starting to scare me." She said. Raditz looked at her and saw tears falling down her cheeks. "I fear that it may cost her her life, and she'll be leaving me to lead the village all on my own. I'm not ready for that yet." She was at the verge of tears.

"You don't know that." He said to comfort her. "For all we know she may live for a lot longer, and she just wants that out of the way so she can teach you how to lead the village. I mean after all she is one-hundred-three years old and she's got a lot of life left in her. And even if she were to die tomorrow, then she would be leaving the village in good hands. You're ready to take on the mantle."

When she looked into his eyes, she saw concern and love. He reached for her, and she pulled away. His eyes were filled with confusion as to why she did that.

"I'm sorry Raditz, but we can never be. It would never work." She took a deep breath. "When the battle's over, go to where your younger brother lives. Your true mate is there, she's waiting there for you, she just doesn't know it yet. You'll know her for her sent is like the smell of lilies after the rain despite her partner's smell." She stood up and walked away back to the village where all the ninja were staying. They had moved the civilians to a village that were on more friendly terms with them.

Raditz was was filled with emotions that he thought he would never feel. Confusion was all he could really make out. He began to realize that his brother was part of his future. He had almost forgotten all about him. Looking back at the sunset, he smiled as he thought about how his little brother must've hit his head or something. That would be the only way he wouldn't have completed his mission, and his future mate living there. Otherwise no one would be alive on that planet except for him.

'Don't worry little brother. I haven't forgotten my promise to you. And I'll never brake it, no matter what. Even if it kills me.'

...

Goku was doing his own brand of interrogation on one tough guy when suddenly he sneezed. They both began to laugh, as he was drinking with the ninja. Due to their high metabolism, Saiyans have a naturally high tolerance to alcohol. So he planed to drink him under the table, and get the information about the Dragonball that he just given to someone else that day. It wasn't your ordinary alcohol. This was something of Bulma's making. It's odorless, tasteless, and had a lot more of a punch than anything on Earth.

Goku was starting to get a little buzzed but the other guy on the other hand was intoxicated. "So I gotta know. What did you do with the ball you had? You know, the one with the stars on it." He asked.

"Well I gave it to a group of Iwa-nin that looked really interested in it."

"What?" Goku asked in shock?

"Yeah. They were going to take a look at is and see if their was anything else to it other than looks." He slurred. This scared the shinobi, and caused Goku to sober up rather quickly. If they found out about the other six, and the dragon itself. They would be doomed.

"Where did they go?"

...

"Did you see him Goku?" Krillin asked.

"No, Didara's not there." He said, he had just completed a sweep of the area using chakara, as not to be seen. "But the Dragonball is. But it's being guarded. I'm not sure how we're going to get it without making a raucous. Anybody got any ideas?"

"I got nothing. Sorry Goku." Krillin said.

"Maybe I can help there." Said a voice that was all too familiar to Goku and Krillin. The figure walked out of the shadows and into their camp site.

"Piccolo? What are you doing here?" Goku asked.

"I'm just here out of boredom." He said nonchalantly. "I saw one of those guys last year near your old home. They found your spaceship, and they made the metal into a sword that currently has no name. I figured that you would at least like to know that." He said as Asuma looked at him in shock. The guy in charge of this mission is an alien?

"Thanks for the heads up. You wanna give us a hand?" Goku asked.

"I think I did say I can help. What do you need them for?" The Namekian asked.

"I don't think that it's any of your business." Kakashi said in warning.

"We're going to summon the dragon, duh." Goku said. "You can get it for us?"

"For a price."

"What do you want?"

"A rematch. Your not the only one who's been training to use chakara, Goku."

"But can you use all five different elemental Ninjutsu styles?"

"Your bluffing."

"Am I?" The Saiyan smirked confidentially.

"I guess I'll find out when we fight, but first let's get that ball, and the sword."

"I'm into Bojutsu Piccolo. Not Kenjutsu." Goku pointed out.

"It would help you with the change in identity, Kakarot." He taunted.

"Can we go now?" Krillin asked. They looked at him funny then they got going to strike them down.

...

"I can't believe we actually got them drunk." Asuma said as he held the five star ball in his hands. They had moved to a new location hundreds of miles away from the camp of their enemies as not to be jumped in the middle of the night.

"Yeah, they passed out and we robbed them blind." Krillin said. Goku looked at the sword he held in his hand. It was a white katana that glistened in the firelight. On the opposite side of the blade was this strange saw like pattern. Kakashi told him that it was meant to brake swords if they were collide with it.

"Nice blade Goku." Piccolo said. He sat across the fire with the others. They had spiked the water of the Iwa-nin with the alcohol that Goku had brought with him. It didn't take long before they had gotten plastered and they took everything they needed. Including sensitive information.

"Thanks Piccolo. Wouldn't have gotten it without your help." He smiled. "What should I call it?"

"Don't look at me, I got nothing." Krillin said.

"I'm sure we can come up with something. How hard can it be?" Goku said as he sheathed his blade.

"We'll fight in the morning after you get something to eat. I want to fight you at full strength." He said as he stood up and took his leave.

"Thanks Piccolo. See you later."

"You better be ready Goku." And with that he left.

As he walked away from the camp site, he began to wonder why he helped him in the first place. He's the one who killed his father. Not to mention he payed the debt that he owed him last year. 'Why am I helping him? He's the reason my father's dead... The reason why I exist.' He shook that thought out of his head to try and remove the confusion in his head. This new world was starting to get to him or something. 'I'm fighting him in the morning, and I'll win for sure. He'll regret the day he was ever born!'

...

The next morning Goku and the rest of his team gotten something to eat. Shortly after that, Piccolo arrived ready for round two.

"Are you sure you want to be doing this Piccolo? I've been trained by my father you know. And he's a Super Saiyan." Goku said in waring slipping into a tijutsu stance.

"Do I look like I care? Besides do I look like I need my father to train me?"

"No, he'd probably want training form you." He added in jest causing Piccolo to growl.

"SHUT UP!" He shouted. He didn't want him talking about his father ever. He charged in blindly falling into Goku's trap. He got slammed through many rocks and trees, and when he got up, he realized that he was tricked.

"Ninja art fire style: Fireball jutsu!" Goku shouted launching a huge fireball from his mouth. Piccolo was barely able to dodge it in time. That one mistake in the beginning of that fight really messed him up. Goku kept using different jutsu to keep Piccolo from trying anything. He used not just fire style ninjutsu, but water, earth, air, and even lightning. Which meant he was not bluffing when he could use all five natures. He quickly realized that Goku was far more prepared with his more hands on training, with the shinobi and a really tough Senscei/father like Bardock. Goku was not letting up his attacks not even for a moment. He was either going through hand signs for jutsu, pounding him with his strength, or using his ki attacks.

After Goku finally let up on his relentless attacks. Piccolo was on the ground panting. He was covered in cuts and bruises. He looked up at the Saiyan expecting to rub it in his face, about how he fell into his trap and wasn't able to attack him one time. But that's not what happened.

"Hey Piccolo, you wanna come with us?"

"What?! Goku you can't be serious!" Krillin shouted.

"He has no loyalties to anyone except himself." Kakashi said doing better then Krillin to hide his shock.

"He won't betray the village. Trust me. Plus he knows that the training would be beneficial for him." Goku said with a small smile on his face.

"I'm not interested Goku. Your crazy if you think I would ever want to join you little band of friends! I'm Piccolo, THE DEMON KING!" His last words echoed so even the heavens could hear. He then stood up abet shackely, and walked away.

"Okay, but the offer still stands."

"Forget it!"

"Not gonna happen." Piccolo then growled in anger and a little in pain as he continued to walk away.

...

That night, Piccolo was at his favorite place to train. It was a strange and beautiful landscape. His camp fire giving him light on that strange night. He knew that they were summoning the dragon and he could feel something powerful after it left. That thing then left for a short time, twenty minuets give or take, and returned once again. Then finally the thing left and didn't come back. He racked his brain trying to remember where he had felt that thing before... Then the realization hit the Namekian like a ton of bricks. It was the Shinigami! It was here fore some reason. He was there when the fox was sealed. Not to mention he felt it because of his connection to Kami. It scared him to think of what that thing could do.

Stretching his ki enough to feel if anyone of Goku's friends or family no longer lived in this world, without detection. He felt that none of them had died. He let out a sigh of relief. Then he noticed his own behavior. "Why am I even concerned for their well being? I shouldn't even care for them at all! What's happening to me!?" He asked himself clutching his head in confusion. Where was all this coming from. Goku killed his father. And his purpose in life was to fulfill his father's plans of world domination.

"That maybe what you were made for, but that is not your destiny." Said the voice of an old woman. When he turned around he saw the Shinagami and a very short old woman with tan skin silver hair, sapphire eyes, and a halo. (AN: Guess who.)

"Who are you?" The young Namekian demanded.

"I am Ayame. And I'm here to tell you what your supposed to do, because like the father of Raditz and Goku, I too can see the future.

"What?"

"That's right boy, And while I'm not as old as your father, I've got more wisdom than that wise fool could've ever imagined. Plus I could've beat him just like so many other fools that thought they could take me."

"Wise fool?"

"Yes, there are two kinds of fools out there. The foolish fool, and the wise fool. Now we shouldn't keep putting this off. My friend here is getting impatient, and he'll try to entertain himself by doing some rather disgusting things for the sake of his twisted sense of humor. He get's bored very easily."

"Which is..."

"To train Goku's two children, Gohan and Naruto. It will take time before they are ready to train, but those two will be strong, and it will be because you were the one who started training them from the beginning. Forget what your father wants you to do. If he had never died that day, you would've never existed. He would've had no use for you. And you know this to be true. I will leave you with that in mind Piccolo." With that she left, never to be seen by the eyes of the living again.

Piccolo was just shocked about what old dead lady had been telling him to do. Not to do what he was made to do. But instead train the children of his greatest enemy. He was even more confused than before. He decided to meditate on what Ayame had told him, and make his choice.

Next time, you get to see how the fight went down. I know I didn't get much into Ayame, but she's going to be fighting Frieza so you'll be seeing her fight. Not to mention you'll get to see Frieza put into an early grave. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review and most importantly. God bless you.
