A/N: I'm feeling sad, I have a feeling everyone thought I abandoned the story. I am letting you know I have every intention of finishing.
Chapter 16: Of Cures, Family, and…Tracking devices? Part one
Aulier once again conjures up the two vials with a cure and approaches the two boys "Okay like you heard by taking this cure it will turn you full sayian, but because it if being administered differently to you than how I gave it to Torankusu you won't gain to abilities he gained but you will be abet stronger. I'll give you time to decide with your families. Whichever you chose this decision is on par as picking treatment plans for cancer. I suggest both of you talk to big brother first, then talk it over with your mothers before your fathers." Trunks questioned, "Will we lose our personality if we choose to take your cure?" She smiles, "No you will not, Torankusu still acts the same. Think of it as this Goku grew up believing he was human until he found out otherwise. Bulma, ChiChi, you knew him before he learned he was a Sayian, looking back do you think he acts any different?" The two women chuckle and shake their heads 'no'. "Videl, what about after you found out about Gohan being half sayian?" Videl replies, "No" Aulier turns to them "You see you doing have to worry about that. No go and discuss this with your families."
The duo take Aulier's advised and approach Gohan first. Gohan smiles and places his hands on their shoulders before speaking, "It won't bother me, for all we know this cure could be quicker than the one the medics here could cure you." Goten and Trunks reply at the same time "Okay" then Goten comments "I bet you could ask Aulier to make you full sayian." Gohan shakes his head "I don't think so Goten, as fantastic of an idea that sounds it would be ill-advised." Trunks asks "How so?" the eldest Halfling replies, "I've been something similar to a berserker growing up and when Elder Kai fully unlocked my hidden powers creating my mystic state, if I was to become a full sayian I have this gut feeling I would end up kind of like Brolly and go crazy." Goten and Trunks nod and walk over to their parents to discuss the choices.
Torankusu having over heard Gohan's explanation walks over to him comments on it "That is an interesting thought but I think that you would have enough restraint to keep yourself under control". Aulier walked over having taken an interest in the topic when Goten brought it up listened to the debate. Gohan argued back "You were there at the Cell games you saw what happened after Cell made me snap." Mirai stated, "From the looks of it you had control." Gohan shook his head "Looking back it wasn't the kind of control I would have wanted".
During the debate all other conversations had for the most part stopped, the troop of elite sayians had gone back to their posts leaving King Vegeta, Bardock, and his team. The two boys made their decision. Now the families were listening in on the debate about Gohan's powers.
Torankusu argues back "Then explain it to me what you mean". Gohan explains, "If I had heeded dad's warning instead of wanting to make him suffer most likely than not, dad would not have had to die and then in turn you wouldn't have had to die. Yeah I was ruthless when took out those mini cells, but in one hit. Another argument could be that after Cell forces me to awaken my hidden powers I was on a rage-induced adrenaline run, out looking for revenge and in a sense I was but I had let my feelings cloud my judgment. Look I just have this gut feeling that a normal sayian, full or hybrid, should not have to have enough power to kill someone, whose final form that is around 20x's stronger than Frieza's true form at the age of eleven." Torankusu shook his head "When or should I say why bringing Frieza back into this conversation have to deal with Cell besides the fact that some of his cells along with his father's were used to create that monster?" Gohan rubbed his right temple to get rid of a forming headache and stated, "It seems we have caught the attention of everyone with this little debate about the power I had and do possess." Torankusu remarks "Then answer me this, if you had continued to train properly after Cell and after your guy's battle with this Majin Buu. How Strong do you think you would be?" Gohan pauses for a moment to think about it before saying "As strong as dad maybe a bit stronger I'm not really sure". Torankusu enquires, "What level would that be?" Gohan turns to his father then back to Mirai and boldly said "Super Sayian Level 3".
Aulier decides to close this conversation "Okay you two we will have to resume this some other time". She then turns to Goten and Trunks "What is your decision?" (A/N: Goten and Trunks are going to go back and forth with their answer starting with Trunks. Text will be Trunks and regular will be Goten. This will only be in effect for their answer and explanation in regards to the cure they choose.)
"Well… we were wondering if…"
"You could conjure up a cure that works instantly but…"
"Won't turn us full-sayian."
Everyone surprised by this because everyone was thinking the two boys would jump at the chance to be full sayian. Aulier raises an eyebrow and catechizes them "Sure I can, but I as well as everyone here would like to know is… why?"
"You can say that it is a matter of respect."
"As hybrid sayians we are children of two worlds now since this planet and it's people were brought back with the Dragonballs."
"If we were to become full sayian it would be like we were denying our human mothers and Earth, case in point would be if we had the chance to be full human in turn that would be like denying our Sayian fathers and now Planet Vegeta."
"We are actually proud of both of our heritages. Of course there are advantages and disadvantages to being a hybrid."
"Those could be explained in better detail by big brother than we can because he has had more battle experience that the two of us together."
"Unlike my counterpart neither of us grew up fighting all our lives. Even though Goten and I were able to transform into super sayian at a younger age than even Gohan did, and as we were listening to the debate which did help in solidifying our answer…"
"We figured if Gohan whom has had a lot more fighting experience like I previously stated could possibly run the risk of going crazy at being full sayian, which is to say that we didn't run that same risk."
"Besides if we had wanted to be full sayian we most likely would have used the Dragonballs."
Aulier nods her head "I understand and you provided a really good argument. And I will tell you this and this goes to you to Gohan, I have seen many universes with each decision leads to an alternate reality in some you have gone crazy and in other's you didn't. Now I'm not going to tell you what would have happened if you had taken the same cure that I gave Torankusu. I have also seen different universes that followed everyone like if Bulma never went looking for the Dragonballs, or if Raditz never came to Earth, and even if certain events have not happened case it point Goku falling into that ravine and hitting his head."
Trunks, Torankusu, and Gohan recite at the same time "For every action there is an equal opposite reaction".
Aulier shakes her head "Yes and no"
Bulma interjects "That is because that principle mainly applies to Newton's third law of motion. Since we are not working with moving items, but in decision-making, to summarize what Aulier said is each decision and or event outcome leads to an Alternate Reality."
Aulier cracks her knuckles "Okay I think I have it planned out, I'll give you something that will make it completely makes it regress to the first stage, like the equivalent of a cancer patient being in remission, then I'll heal your bodies from there. That would be the less painful without turning you full sayian."
Aulier makes the other cure disappear, conjures up a couple more vials, and hands it to the two boys stating "Here drink this oh you probably should hold your nose and take it in one shot and don't let it touch your tongue." The boys give her a questioning look "If it does it will feel like you have a ton of fire ants in your mouth." The boys give her a quick nod and down it like she told them and instantly started to feel better she walked behind them and placed a hand on the their necks she flared her aura and her hands started to glow a pinkish purple before enveloping them into her aura and the boys close their eyes. After a few minutes, she drops her aura and takes her hands off their necks and they fall to their knees sort of sitting on their feet but slumped forward seeming like they were exhausted.
Videl asks, "Are they okay, and what did you to them?" Aulier laughs "Yeah they are fine just tired." Then she raises an eyebrow "Do you really want me to answer that?" ChiChi puts her hands on her hips "I would very much like to know what you did to my son." The Cosmic Dragon gives her a grin than say 'I'll tell you but you'll wish you hadn't asked' "Okay, I exploited a loop hole in your 'NO Sex' rule. I created an illusion in their minds that they went several rounds with a couple of females from my Mother's race, which is where I get my looks from except the pale skin, everything in their mind seemed and felt real to them but I had temporally numbed the senses in the physical body, so the body would not react". Being completely floored ChiChi was making odd sounds and sporadic random hand gestures while everyone did a mental countdown of "3…2…1…" then she promptly fainted.
Goku walks over to his wife, slings her over his shoulder, and slowly flies over to the ship. Aulier follows and asks, "Is that normal for her?" he shakes his head from side to side and replies, "More or less, it is how she is when she can't handle something." The surprised dragon also asks, "About how long will she be out"? The son of Bardock shrugs "Don't know, depends on how long she can process it in her mind while she is out, it is when she wakes up when you should be worried because it will go one of two ways normally either she will be mad as an Ox or will tolerate it until she can except it. More often than not, she will be mad." Aulier gives a nervous but amused chuckle "I guess I should steer clear for a little while after she wakes up huh?" the earth raised sayian gave a nervous chuckle "um, yeah". Aulier gives a mock salute and leaves him with his wife.
After already looking inside the ship, she was now observing the outside, when she had found something that did not belong. She pulled it off and used her instantaneous movement to head back to the main group.
-=-=-Meanwhile-=-=-
Once he saw, Kakarot take off with his unconscious wife back to the ship Vegeta grabbed his wife's arm and started to pull her in the direction he wanted. He called out to Mirai and Gohan "You two eldest brats, grab the two sleeping brats and come here".
Gohan walked over to his brother and slung him over his shoulder as Torankusu picked up his counterpart and slung him over his shoulder as well then pick up the counterpart of his sword. He looked up and saw Gohan shaking his head with an amused look on his face and "Shut up will you." As he started after his father, Gohan retorts "What?" Mirai looked over his shoulder to his former sensei's counterpart "I know what you were thinking so shut up about it, yes it does feel weird." Gohan lets out a laugh before Torankusu continued "To be honest we shouldn't be interacting at all." He looks at his counterpart "It can't be helped though, it was one thing to be in this time line before he was born and when he was an infant, because he wasn't old enough to remember me so I couldn't influence any decisions on his part. Now that he has met me, I do not know what could happen; only Aulier would know. No one told him did they." Gohan thought about it for a little bit "I think a few thing things may have slipped but when referencing to you we always would say Mirai incase he would try to eavesdrop or if he was in the room. The few time he asked about the subject we would give a vague answer. You okay?" Torankusu snapped out of his thought "huh… oh yeah I fine just a bit worried." Gohan cocks his head to the side with a inquisitive look "what is it?" then replaced it with a serious look "are we going to have to fight in a battle or something?" Torankusu gives a nervous laugh "I guess you could say that your grandfather had a vision about an hour before you guys showed up. I hope Aulier can figure something out to try to prevent too many casualties." Gohan gives a small tired laugh "what is with you and bad news are you jinxed or something?" Mirai defends himself "hey, the first time was to warn you guys, the second time was coincidence, The third time was to let everyone know I beat those androids in my time, this time is either bad timing or being here at the right time. Besides you need to meet your grandfather." They stop in front of King Vegeta and Bardock.
Vegeta placed his arm around his mate's waist and simply stated "Father" as he gestured to Bulma. King Vegeta gives a curt nod to his son and gestures for him to step aside. Vegeta moves away a few feet to allow his father to take in and scrutinize Bulma. He turns his scouter on to examine her power level, having heard stories about some of earth's women.
After a third time being circled, Bulma places her hands on her hips and tips her foot in irritation. King Vegeta smirks in amusement while continually circling her. Bulma mutters through her teeth "Vegeta what is your father doing?" Vegeta smirks knowing his wife is beginning to get irritated, decided to bait her and stated "Quiet Woman." Now being highly irritated almost growled "No Vegeta, answer my question." Continuing to smirk and to egg her on some more "I said 'quiet woman' this is necessary." Crossing her arms just under her chest still tapping her foot showing she was beginning to get mad "Necessary? How is this 'necessary'? Whatever happened to doing normal introductions? You could have said something like 'father this is my wife and mother of my children, Bulma'." She gently places a hand on King Vegeta's arm causing him to pause long enough for her to stomp over to her husband to get in his face before continuing "What is necessary about leaving me to stand there while your father circles me like a vulture circles a dead carcass?" Staying calm to keep the small smile from forming on his, face says, "It is to gather information." Bulma all but screams "INFORMATION! The only information he could get from doing that is my sizes. There is more to it than that, now tell me or so help me when we get back to earth you will be sleeping on the couch with no GR, no food, no training, and on house arrest for a month." Vegeta gives her a skeptical look "Oh and how to you plan on doing that when you know for a fact that you don't possess the required strength to restrain me much less keep me from my training." The blue haired female puffed out her chest and challenged "Oh I don't do I." trying to keep from laughing Vegeta said, "I know for a fact that you don't woman." Bulma stepped closer to her infuriating husband, and boldly stated "I. HAVE. MY. WAYS." Punctuating each work with a poke to the chest.
Watching this, Gohan turns to his grandfather Bardock, "You're not going to do the same to mom are you"? Bardock turns to Gohan "No son, King Vegeta told me that the prince had call and told him about the tempers all your wives something along the lines of 'sayian like'". he glanced at his grandson's wife and continued "After hearing this he wanted to see just how much so." Gohan chuckles "Just to let you know mom's method consisted of 'Frying pan now ask questions later' screaming her head off or both sometimes it's easier to escape mom and Bulma because they can't fly" Now with a look of interest Bardock faces his grandson "Oh, what about your wife?" Videl gives a glare at her husband wondering what he would say causing Gohan to be noticeably nervous before stammering "Ah man…geez…Videl, I haven't seen that look since High School." Regaining his composer he continued "There isn't escaping Videl because she had blackmailed me into teaching her to fly." Videl grins and says "Don't you forget it." Bardock laughs while shaking his head before turning his attention back to the prince and his wife.
Vegeta lets out a huff in order to keep a clear head and keep from yelling because he really had no need to yell before returning the smirk on his face and remarks "Fine. I is to see if you are deemed worthy to be my woman." Bulma screams at him "Worthy! I would think I would not have had two, two children with you if you didn't think I was worthy." His smirk became a bit toothy "It is customary for the ruling king to check out his heir's mate". Bulma calms down some and glares at her husband trying to see where he is coming from or going with this, before stating "Oh so then this is a test." King Vegeta claps his hands getting the attention of everyone then said "she passes, therefore she is worthy"
Aulier shows up at that moment and announces, "We have a problem." King Vegeta gestures for her to continue. Aulier states " I would like to discuss this with everyone back at the palace over food and drink I'm sure Prince Vegeta and his family and friends are hungry after there long trip. I would very much like to ask your permission to get the Namekian Piccolo as well as a friend of mine whom you should reform your treaty with. Prince Vegeta scoffs "If we are to be going to battle we don't need that Namek and we sure as hell don't need that CAT." Aulier spun around and glared at the prince and coldly said "We will be needing them in case you have forgotten THAT Namek is as strong as a super sayian possibly a super sayian 2 is also the former guardian of Earth and his predecessor may have passed on information on how to seal away semi-immortal and immortal beings. In addition, as you so kindly put it that 'CAT' is a student of mine as well as Torankusu and her manipulation of magic-KI is on par with mine own usage. Now unless you can think of a way to kill an immortal being, I advise you to remember whom you are disrespecting and shut up. Even thou I am technically a guest on your planet I remember inquiring permission from your father not you, since you are not yet king." King Vegeta smirks at the fact his son was just put in his place and answered, "Permission granted". Aulier smiled at him, bowed, and stood "Thank You Sire. I know that your trust in outside forces is wavering due to the whole Frieza mess but unlike him, I am not looking to oppress any race right now I'm just looking for assistance. I will suggest sure rooms are set up for your guests and I must suggest having all your soldiers as well as your guests to be served in the grand dining hall so everyone will be briefed at the same time." King Vegeta nodded "Consider it done" then he signaled everyone to head back to the palace to make sure everything is put into motion. Aulier turned to Torankusu "I need you to fetch Goku and his wife and make sure they head to the palace". Torankusu uses instant transmission to get Goku and ChiChi. Afterwards she uses instantaneous movement and heads to earth.
