Due to a sudden bit of inspiration, thanks to ss death or ss talos, whichever you are, I have a question for you all. As I'm pretty sure everyone is guilty of something, and I just recently saw a rerun of 3rd Rock from the Sun somewhere, here is the question I've taken my sweet time in getting to: if you were guilty of one of the seven deadly sins, which one or ones would it or they be.

For people who don't know what they are, here are the seven deadly sins: Anger, Envy, Gluttony (overeating when unnecessary), Greed, Lust, Pride, and Sloth (lazy).

I hope to hear from ya'll about this and since ya'll be doing that, I'll give you mine with the next update. Now do what you came here to do and read this latest chapter. Probably started reading it anyways.

The sound of doors crashing against walls echoed throughout the main hall. A large room of white marble with a trail of red carpet leading to a staircase was the most prominent look of the room. Scattered randomly were rich paintings, green plants, oak tables, and various forms of furniture. Yep, this was home, sweet home.

At least it used to be for Videl. It had been a few years but the place looked pretty much the same since the last time she was here. Her dad must've gotten tired of buying everything in sight.

Walking into the room with Erasa and Tien on her heels, Videl called out "Hey everybody! I'm home!"

Almost immediately, maids and butlers came bustling into the room, overjoyed to see the master's daughter once again.

"Videl, how are you?"

"What brings you back to Earth Videl?"

"Is there anything I can get you Videl?"

And so on and so forth the servants asked to their boss' daughter. Videl smiled widely at the people she had left behind to live on Vegeta. It had been ages since she had seen or heard from them.

Suddenly, a loud voice filled the room. "Videl! You're home! Finally, my daughter has come back home!" an elated Hercule exclaimed. Walking towards the Satan girl, a large bulky man with a dark afro and mustache enveloped the tiny girl in a massive bear hug. He was wearing a brown training gi, white pants and black boots.

Watching the spectacle, Tien leaned towards Erasa and asked "So this is the hero Hercule?"

Erasa nodded and answered "Yep, that's him. Hasn't changed much since the last time I saw him."

Tien looked back at Hercule bewildered. How in the world did this human manage to take down a warrior race like the saiyans? His power level wasn't much from what he could sense, along with that afro. Did anyone still have that hairstyle?

Letting go of his daughter, Hercule smiled widely. "So Videl, what brings you to Earth?"

Videl brushed a couple strands hair from her face before answering. "Just felt like coming home for a bit. I really miss you and everyone else."

Hercule nodded his head before looking at Erasa and Tien. "And I see you brought one of your blond friends. Where's that other girl you usually hang around with?"

Videl looked at her father bewilderedly. What other girl was he talking about? The only girl she was friends with was Erasa. "Uhhh Dad, who are you talking about?"

"You know, that girl with the long blond hair and liked to wear boy's clothes. Seemed a little too muscular to be a girl. If anything, he seemed a little manish to me."

Erasa busted out laughing. "Vi-videl…he's talking…about Sharpner!" the blond exclaimed, bending over to hold her gut.

When realization dawned on her, Videl joined Erasa laughing. "No Dad…Sharpner's a guy," she managed to say in between laughs.

Hercule blinked before chuckling a bit. It was then that he eyed Tien. "So Videl, who's the bald guy with the weird eye?"

Finishing her laughter, Videl replied "This is my new bodyguard, Tien. I heard that there was an increase in pirate activity out in space and hired him to help protect me."

Hercule looked thoughtful before saying "That was a pretty good move there sweetpea." Walking over to Tien, the war hero held out his hand. "I'd like to thank you for watching out for my daughter."

Tien smiled as he shook the offered hand. "It was no problem. The least I could do since your daughter helped me out of a bind."

Hercule smiled and said "Well, you're welcome to stay in my house. I'll have one of the servants show you to a room. I believe Erasa knows what she's going to do."

"That I do," Erasa said smiling widely.

Just as Erasa had spoke, the maids and butlers had already jumped into action. Many of them left the main hall to prepare the bedrooms for the unexpected guests. When everything was set upped, they led the travelers to their chambers and helped them settle in.

"You wanted to see me Dad?" Videl asked upon entering her father's study. A desk and a couple bookshelves, along with a couch, lined the walls of the small room. Hercule was sitting in a chair in front of his desk and turned to look as his daughter announced her arrival. "Yeah, please sit down," the afro man said, indicating the couch next to the door.

Videl took her father's offer and sat down on the couch, looking at him with curiosity. Hercule just sat in his chair, facing Videl, never saying anything until "Videl, why don't you tell me the real reason why you're here."

Videl looked startled. She knew her father wasn't that bright of a man, but he did have his moments sometimes. This may well be one of those moments.

"What do you mean?" she asked, stalling.

Hercule looked his daughter in the eye, a very serious expression on his face. "Sweatpea, not once have you visited me since you left for Vegeta. You haven't even sent any mail except for the occasional 'I'm doing fine, don't worry about me' letter. Now you've decided to drop in out of the blue and you claim that you were homesick. I know there's something you're not telling me. So spill."

At the current moment, Videl was starting to suspect her dad was smarter than people gave him credit for. Normally, he wouldn't make this kind of connection to save his life, but there were times he could make something very logical. It looked like she wouldn't have a choice but to tell her father the recent events that had occurred.

"Dad, can you tell me what happened on Namek?" the Satan girl asked, this time startling the war hero. Of all the things he expected her to say or ask or do, this was definitely the last one.

"What do you mean?" he said, puzzled. "There was a rampant disease among the natives and we had to make sure it didn't infect anyone else. You know that."

Videl studied Hercules response. It seemed that he was in the dark as much as she used to be. Maybe it was a good time to enlighten him a bit.

"Do you remember that friend of yours? The one you made mayor of East Fort?" Videl asked this time.

Becoming lost as to where his daughter was taking this, Hercule still answered the question. "Yeah, Cash. What about him?"

"Well, you do know that he was on Namek during the epidemic, right?"

"I believe he was. Why do you ask?"

Videl took in a deep breath. Now was the hard part. Telling her father that his friend had been less than honest with him. "I came across some documents that pretty much said there wasn't an epidemic on Namek. The same documents said that Cash authorized a mass genocide of all the Namekian people."

Hercule started at his daughter in shock. He even began to visibly shake from this recent development. "And you have proof of these documents?"

Videl nodded. "I brought them with me. I'll go get them for you." Standing up, the Satan girl left the study in search of the Namek document. In the meantime, Hercule had hunched over, one of his large hands holding his head up as he stared at the floor. As much as he knew about Cash, he never suspected he would do something as bad as genocide. True, he knew of a few shady deals here and there but there was a huge difference between giving out a bribe and killing an entire race.

Soon, Videl returned with a folder in hand. She immediately gave the file to her father and sat back down of the couch as she watched him look over the file, seeing realization dawn on him. Looking up at Videl, Hercule asked "Where did you get this?"

"I got it in the records room at Cash's house. I hadn't believed that we were capable of genocide till someone showed me that file."

Hercule became suspicious then. "And who's this someone that showed you this file?"

Videl looked at the ground for a couple seconds before answering. "There was this new guy in the village that said humans weren't as good as we thought we were. He said we were the laughing stock of the universe because of how we denied any wrong doing, yet attacked everything in sight."

"And who was this new guy? How did you meet him?"

"I was heading out to get some groceries when the guy bumped into me. He didn't act like he cared that he knocked me down and I chased after him to show him who was boss."

Hercule chuckled a bit. The moment he heard she was knocked down, he knew his girl would try to beat up the perpetrator. "So how did he know about all this stuff?"

"It was because he had to live with this knowledge. He had known the whole truth since we humans had left Earth."

Hercule studied the girl on his couch. "So what was this guy's name?"

Videl responded with "His name was Gohan."

"Gohan? That doesn't sound like a human name."

Videl nodded her head, not at all surprised that her father had caught on. "He was a saiyan."

Hercule felt his blood freeze. A saiyan had been walking the same streets as his daughter had been and nobody had even suspected it. But why was a saiyan mingling around humans? It was very well known that a saiyan would kill any human short of a noncombatant. "Why was a saiyan in East Fort?"

Videl replied "He was looking for information. He wanted to do an attack on one of the military bases in the area and wanted some kind of idea on the best way to attack it. I had managed to capture him and tried to interrogate him and that's where he told me all this stuff. At first I didn't believe him; needing proof that what he said was true. So we snuck into Cash's place and he found that file for me. Sometime while I was looking at the file, he found what he wanted and we both tried to leave."

Hercule narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by 'tried'?"

"We had tripped an alarm somehow and Cash had us surrounded. He then tried to kill us until Gohan used those light beams you told me about."

Hercule grimaced. If there was one thing about the war he remembered, it was those Kami forsaken light beams. Although it wasn't an uniquely saiyan trait, they were some of the best users of the technique. "At least those things did something right."

Videl looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that those light beams protected my daughter. I was never on the side that had those things but I'm glad they at least kept you alive for another day."

Videl was stunned by this. She had never heard of her father blatantly expressing his concern for her welfare. Her shocked look soon changed, a small smile crawling onto her lips. It looked like Gohan was a little useful after all.

Suddenly, Hercule sprung out of his chair. "Wait a minute! Cash threatened you?! Just wait till I get my hands on that creep! He'll wish he never spoken those words!"

"Dad, Dad, calm down," Videl said soothingly. "I don't think you'd be able to teach Cash a lesson. I'm pretty sure Gohan did."

Hercule blinked a bit. "What do you mean?"

"The last time I saw Cash, he was unconscious and Gohan was taking him to have some kind of justice done on him. I'm pretty sure Cash isn't alive anymore."

Hercule stayed in his pose for a bit before sitting back down. "I guess I'll let that saiyan kid take care of this. They do have that honor system of theirs."

Videl just continued to smile. Suddenly, a thought struck her. "So what are you going to do about this file?"

Hercule looked down at the folder as it lay on the ground. "I think I'm gonna do something about this. We need the truth to come out, especially after the recent battles."

Videl didn't protest her father's decision. Instead, she asked "So how are those campaigns going?"

Hercule let out a huge sigh. "As you probably know, we've had some problems with the Cold family. It's more of a stalemate right now so not much to talk about there. With Majiventa, we've completely pulled out."

Videl was startled again. "What? What caused the pull out?"

"If you knew anything about that planet, you knew that there was a guardian making sure we didn't get a foothold on the planet. Not too long ago, that guardian wiped out the entire fleet surrounding the planet. It's been ruled that the campaign is a failure and we won't be dealing with the planet. Many people were happy about that ruling as you can well imagine."

Videl nodded. However, she knew that wouldn't be the last time the Earth attacked that planet. If the government had it its way, then they'll be waiting for a weapon powerful enough to take the guardian down and attack again. It was only a matter of time.

Alarms sounded off, red lights flashing down the corridors and flooded all the rooms. Gohan rushed into the control, finding Trunks and Goten trying to figure out what in world was going on.

Gohan ran up behind them and inquired the reason for the alarm. Trunks turned his head to the older saiyan and answered him. "I have no clue. But if I had to guess anything, it would be that huge fleet of ships surrounding us."

Looking out the main window, he paled at the sight. Surrounding them were hundreds of battleships. However, it wasn't the number of ships that had Gohan scared. It was the design of them. The only time he had seen these ships designs were on Vegeta when he was little; before the invasion.

Trunks was staring at Gohan. He saw the look on his face and knew the saiyan knew something about those ships. How Gohan knew anything about these ships was beyond him but Trunks was sure that he'd be finding out pretty soon.

Goten also saw the look. But unlike Trunks, he was going to find out. "Hey Gohan, do you know anything about those ships?"

Goten's question caught the older saiyan off guard. Tearing his eyes from the scene before him, Gohan stared at his brother and Trunks, a lost look on his face. Both younger saiyans waited for his answer until they got the feeling that they wouldn't be getting one. Goten reiterated his question and this time Gohan gave them answer.

"Those ships are of saiyan design," the older saiyan told them, giving the two younger ones shocked expressions. "And as you probably already guessed, there hasn't been a saiyan ship made since the invasion. Plus, I'm pretty sure there weren't any saiyans left in space after the war."

Goten and Trunks continued to stare at Gohan until they turned to look at the saiyan fleet. Or to be more realistic, an unknown force with saiyan battleships.

Suddenly, the communication button lit up, catching the attention of the three saiyans. About a minute passed before Trunks leaned in to press it. It was a few seconds before a voice began speaking. "Unidentified vessel, please state your ship identification number and reason for entering Tuffle airspace."

All three saiyans' blood froze. This was not good. It was common knowledge that Saiyans and Tuffles did not get along. Both races had shared the planet Vegeta for a long time until a civil war broke out between the two. Needless to say, the saiyan defeated them and forced them to leave the planet. About a decade later, the war with the humans began. However, during that decade between the wars, saiyan children were taught about the grudge held between the two races. So at the present time, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were in between a rock and a hard place.

"Unidentified vessel, I repeat, state your reason for entering Tuffle airspace," the voice said again, slightly annoyed. The saiyans continued to stay frozen till Trunks said "This is ship EA3902. We were passing on through and forgot about this region being in the possession of the Tuffles. We request that you allow us to continue our voyage without interruption."

The voice didn't reply for a few minutes. When the voice did decide to speak, it was a different one. A higher, shriller voice said "Ship EA3902, that ship identification number does not exist. I demand that you tell me who you are or I will order my fleet to fire all weapons on you."

Before Trunks could respond, Goten piped up, peeved at the order. "And who the hell are you to order us around?"

The high pitch voice let out a cackling laugh. "Okay, if that's how you want to play it, fine. I am King Baby, Ruler of the Tuffles. Now tell me who you are fool before I annihilate you."

At this present moment, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were getting very annoyed from the sound of Baby's voice. No wonder the saiyans kicked them off the planet. Unfortunately, their pride would not let them back down from the Tuffle King's ultimatum and they fired back the last thing they should've said. "We are Saiyan warriors you Tuffle filth," Trunks said.

The comm. link went quite. "Saiyan warriors huh?" Baby said. "Well then my little monkey friends; it looks like I'll be annihilating you after all."

All three saiyans widen their eyes. Turning to look at each other, Goten said "I think we shouldn't have told him that."

Trunks nodded his head in agreement, along with Gohan. It looked like they were in big trouble right now. Some very big trouble.

Reaching to the control board, Gohan cut the comm. link and looked at the two younger saiyans. "Guys, get ready for the ride of your life."

To dbzfan952: Interesting theory, let me get back to you on it...when I figure out what he discovered lol. Just use your imagination as to how Bojack escaped. Some things are just best left to speculation. That and it's easier on me for other people to think about it instead of me...
