DRAGONBALL: A RETELLING

I do not own Dragonball or the characters in it. i am just a fan. andI don't like be accused of theft nor does my sister.

Note whenI say Raditz twice in a row it's just that Goku's older brother has a twin that is named the same. And note that whenI refer to Raditz with Zetheros its the good one. The older one is the good one.

THE BEGINNING

CHAPTER 4

MYSTERIOUS WARRIOR AND A NEW THREAT

Its been 6 months since the battle with Garlic Jr. and Gohan was studying and he fell asleep. "huh I don't remember opening the window but this looks like my chance to get out for awhile." said Gohan to himself. He was walking in the forest when he saw his dad. "hey dad!" "Huh? Hey Gohan." said Goku "Hey dad, I'm really glad you're back. I missed you." "I missed you to Gohan" "hey dad what happened on Namek?" "Uh…" "you can tell me? Right dad?" Goku didn't answer "Dad what is it?" but Goku turned away from Gohan. "Dad?" "Your father isn't coming back. He's a loser. Nothing but a loser." said Frieza "NO!NO!NO!" yelled Gohan. He and Frieza fought and the next thing Gohan knew he was back in his room, at his, desk, wondering what was going on. "What happened? Could Frieza be alive? I can sense his presence, but how?" Gohan was still wondering that when he heard the phone ring "Gohan will you get that?" asked Chi-Chi "Sure" Gohan went into the living room and answered the phone. "Hello?" "Gohan are you sensing what I'm sensing?' asked Krillin "I think so. But who could it be? It can't be You-Know-Who can it?" "I'm afraid so. I can smell him. I'll never forget that stench." "I just don't understand it. I thought my dad destroyed frieza once and for all." "So did I. But it looks like we were wrong this time. The rest of us are meeting up together to make a plan. I don't know what we can do without Goku, but we have to try." "I'll meet up with you. I just need to get my Saiyan battle armor. I hid it in a cave so my mom wouldn't find it." "Great idea. We could use all the help we can get. See you at the Northern Wastelands." "Okay" Gohan hung up the phone and was deep in thought. "Hey mom can I go out for a while?" asked Gohan finally. "Only if you're done with your studies" "I am. See you." said Gohan.

He went out and went to a cave and got his battle armor "Alright!" he left and went flying toward the wastelands. Once he got there he saw Vegeta, Zetheros, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Bulma, Puar, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo waiting there. "Is everyone here? Good." said Piccolo "Just over that mountain is where Frieza's ship will land." said Vegeta "How do you know that its frieza? It could be someone else." said Yamcha "I know! I make it my business to know Unlike you." said Vegeta. "What does that mean?" asked Yamcha "This is no time to be arguing." said Piccolo "Chances are without Goku we won't win, but we have to try. Head to the top if the mountain when your ready."

Gohan and the others went to the top if the mountain to fight Frieza but what the saw surprised them. Frieza had a father! "So that's the reason Frieza's still alive. His father found him." said Vegeta to himself.

Meanwhile while Gohan and the others were getting ready to face frieza, Goku, who sensed Frieza was on earth, was on his way back to earth. Back on earth Gohan and everyone else was getting ready to fight Frieza when a mysterious youth showed up. "Well, well look what we have here Father. Some kid." said Frieza "Don't think Goku's the only Super Saiyan." said Trunks "What! Don't make me laugh boy." said Frieza. Trunks turned away and started to transform into a Super Saiyan surprising Gohan, Vegeta, Zetheros and the others. Trunks fought against Frieza's men and annihilating them. Then he fought against Frieza and destroyed him with one swing of his sword. "AAAAHHHH!" said Frieza "FRIEZA!" said King Cold "Super Saiyan. I can appreciate great talent such as yours. My eyes are not blinded with pride like my son's were. Join me and take Frieza's place at my side as the supreme ruler of the universe." "You think he'll do it?" asked Gohan "No way just look at what he did to Frieza." said Krillin "If he really is a Saiyan sometimes the right power offer can be intriguing. But only to some Saiyans." said Zetheros looking at Vegeta. "What does that mean Zetheros?" asked Vegeta "Never mind" said Zetheros "So what do you say Super Saiyan?" asked King Cold "Not a chance" said trunks "Very well prepare for battle." said King Cold "HA!" said Trunks firing a KI blast and killing Cold. Trunks powered down and noticed Vegeta and the others watching him. He took off and flew over to them. "I'm heading off to a place near here to meet Goku. Would you guys like to come?" asked Trunks "Weird how does he know about my dad?" said Gohan "Just follow me." said trunks. He took off and Piccolo said "I don't know if we can trust this guy, but we have to if we want to find out what's going on." They took off following Trunks. "excuse me but how do you know my dad?" asked Gohan "Actually I've never met your dad before. I've only heard about him." said Trunks "then how do you know he's going to be here?" asked Krillin "That's uh… I can't say. Sorry." said Trunks "Why not? I'll tell you why. It's because you're up to something. So tell us boy who are you?" asked Vegeta "I wish I could say. Sorry." said Trunks "When you fought Frieza and that other guy, you were a Super Saiyan, weren't you?" asked Gohan "Yes" said Trunks "That's impossible Kakarot, myself and our brothers and sisters are the only Saiyans left. And Kakarot's kid there is half Saiyan. So if you count him that makes thirteen of us. There's no way you can have Saiyan blood." said Vegeta. Trunks just looked at him "No Answer? Figures." said Vegeta. "Goku should be here any minute." said Trunks. And sure enough Goku's space pod landed.

Goku saw that everyone was there waiting on him, even Krillin, and he was wondering how they he was going to be there. "This guy told us. He was a mystery man." said Bulma "He knows all about you daddy" said Gohan "Goku can I have a word with you?" asked Trunks "Sure". Trunks and Goku left the area and went to the place where Goku landed. "Sorry about all the secrecy but I need your word that you won't tell anyone else what I'm going to say." said Trunks "Well I've never had problem with keeping secrets but sure you have my word." said Goku. "My name is Trunks and I know this is going to sound strange but I'm not from this time line. I'm actually from 20 years in the future" "The future wow" "Yes. Vegeta was right only he, yourself, Gohan, Zetheros and the other family members of yours and his family have Saiyan blood. And I got mine from him. He's my father." "Are you serious? Vegeta's going to be a father?" "Yes but I didn't come here to tell you that. I came to give you a warning." "A warning?" "Yes. Three years from now on the morning of May 12th at 10:00 am two powerful entities will show up on Ambeno Island. These two fighters have wiped out most of my world. They are stronger than anyone has ever seen before." "What's the deal? Are they aliens?" "No they're both androids created by Dr. Gero. The master mind behind the Red Ribbon Army. Do you remember him?" "Yeah I defeated him. You mean he lived?" "Thanks to you. Look I don't mean to blame you, but letting Dr. Gero escape was a mistake that will come back to haunt you. He's probably working on those androids as we speak. I'm still not sure where his lab is. If I knew I would pay him a visit instead of you." "Wait a minuet Trunks you defeated Frieza in a flash yet from what your saying these androids are even stronger than you." " They are. Hunting me down is one of their favorite hobbies. But it's two against one so there's not much I can do besides run." "What about the others? Aren't they helping you out?" "three years from now the earth's special forces will be wiped out. I'm all that's left." "Wait a minuet Trunks what happened to me? Did they defeat me as well?" "No not too long from now you'll catch a virus that attacks the Heart and you won't survive it." "WHAT! No fair being killed by a stupid virus! I want to fight these androids. I don't even get a chance to fight them." "You're a great man Goku. I'm glad I came here. Here take this when you get sick and you'll be fine. There's no cure now for the virus but in my time there is. I shouldn't be doing this because it changes history. But some history should be changed and I'm glad because my mother said I could trust you." "Your mother knows me? Who is she?" "Bulma" "BULMA'S YOUR MOTHER!" yelled Goku "Keep your voice down! They'll hear you!" said Trunks "Oh sorry. So Bulma and Vegeta are your parents?" "I never really got the chance to get to know my dad. So it was really great to meet him. He's a little stubborn but he's a great man. What ever you do don't mention this to them. Otherwise I may never be born." "You got my word." said Goku.

Trunks left telling Goku that he would be back in three years time to help them fight the android. Goku went back to the others and Hesitated to tell them what trunks had said. But Piccolo, who had heard everything, told them everything except the fact that Trunks was Bulma and Vegeta's son. Goku looked at Piccolo thanking him silently. "Whoa we have only three Years to train?" asked Krillin "Yeah. So we should get started." said Goku. So everyone took off except for Gohan, Goku and Piccolo. "hey Piccolo." "yes Goku?" "I was just wondering if you wanted to train with me and Gohan?" "believe it or not I was going to suggest the same thing." said Piccolo.
