Chapter 2: One chance.
Vegeta could hear his heart pumping in his chest at a rapid pace. The bit his face hard at the speed he was going. There it was. That rush he was missing in his life. The uncertainty. God he hoped they were worth it. If they ended up being weaklings he foresaw himself and Kakarot fighting it out to destroy the little twerps. When they landed they were in a very flat plain. Green tall grass that looked like it hadn't been met by a lawn mower in decades. Goku strained his hearing for any sign of life but all he could hear was birds chirping and a nearby stream splashing on the rocks beneath it. Vegeta grunted in frustration. As soon as they landed the power levels had vanished as quickly as they had came. They searched the land further. So far they had found not so much as a foot print or indention in the grass. Suddenly Goku called out,
"Vegeta. Over here." was all he could say at the astonishing sight he never imagined he'd see again in the rest of his days. When Vegeta came over to the sight his jaw dropped. Hidden in the tall grass was three separate saiyan space pods. Before they could so much as discuss the impossible sight below them the power levels were back and the three owners of the space pods had revealed themselves from behind them. The five all immediately took a defensive stance. There was a taller man that had tan skin and brown eyes in the middle. On either side of him was two girls. They all shared the same traits. Black hair, built for fighting, dark eyes, none of them could have been a day over twenty years of age and the most surprising feature tails. They all stared at each other for some time before anyone spoke. No one even moved a muscle.
"Who are you!" Goku demanded not talking to any one of the three in particular.
"Are you two the super saiyan warriors Goku and Vegeta." The man spoke. He had a black Mohawk short in length and very sharp features. Strong chin, broad shoulders. If Goku hadn't noticed his knees shaking slightly he would have assumed he would have put up a decent fight.
"What of it brat!" Vegeta hissed. More of them? There was no way. And they were much to young to have been survivors from there home planets destruction. The three saiyans dropped there stances but still seemed uneasy. "We mean no harm to you or your planet." The boy took steps towards Vegeta as he attempted to explain, "We have traveled a long way just to mee-"
The boys sentence was cut short by Vegeta. He had grabbed his arm and flipped him onto the ground and stomped his foot onto the boys chest. "Vegeta!" Goku shouted in disapproval.
"Quiet Kakarot!" Vegeta said in a tone that suggested he not be defied on this and he turned his attention to the unknown saiyan beneath his boot. "I am getting sick and tired of random members of my race rising to the surface. Now it's fact that Kakarot and I are the only full blooded Saiyans left in this universe and none of you have sprung from our seed so I don't know what you are trying to pull with that tail of yours so tell me who are you really. So help me you so much breath wrong and I will end your miserable life this very moment you fraud!"
The girls jumped to the boys defense which made Goku move closer as well. He may not have agreed with Vegeta's methods but wasn't going to let them jump him despite. Vegeta looked up to the two saiyan girls and assured "Don't worry you two are next, as soon as I get done with your boyfriend!" Both girls made a slight disgusted sound which made Goku smirk. To Vegeta's surprise the boy on the ground started to laugh.
"Your reputation proceeds you." he said. "And I am more then happy to answer any and all questions you have Prince Vegeta if you kindly let me up from then ground." His voice was calm and he ended his sentence with a smile, which made Vegeta's blood boil. Who did this punk think he was mocking him? He turned to Goku who gave a small nod then turned his attention back to the girls who were still in attack position. Vegeta obliged but not before putting his full weight on the boys chest which he felt the breath leave his body from his boot. The boy got to his fate and returned to his friends side while giving a dirty look to Vegeta.
"First I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Hideo, this is Naomi (he gestured to his left) and Kaylynn (he gestured to his right) and we are saiyans." before Vegeta could go on another outburst Goku spoke.
"How is that possible. Like he said you all are far to young to have lived after the planet was destroyed. The only other two saiyans we have ran into we destroyed, so how is it you two are saiyans?"
Hideo chuckled "Actually because of you." Goku and Vegeta lifted an eyebrow. Clearly the kid was bonkers.
"Remember when your loved ones here thought you were dead when the planet Namek was destroyed?" The girl that had been introduced as Naomi asked.
"Huh? How would you know about that?" Goku said he turned to Vegeta thinking he would know where they were going with this. He was the smarter one after all but Vegeta shared the same confused look Goku had (only his was a little angrier).
"Your friends asked the eternal dragon to bring back everyone who had been destroyed by Frieza, and as you know planet Vegeta was destroyed by Freiza. Of course the other world leaders all agreed it was far to dangerous to bring back the entire saiyan race and the earths dragon hadn't the power to do so anyway." Naomi continued. She paused for a moment and then realized they two super saiyans of earth were hanging on her every word so she continued. "So a year or two of debating came from all the the other world leaders. Then King Yemma decided to bring the three of us back to life. You see the very day planet Vegeta was destroyed we were born. Hadn't even opened our eyes before Freiza's beam made contact with our planet. He decided we were the best options for life, seeing how we had no past prejudice or the blood lust or race shared. So he sent the three of us in these pods (she gestured to the saiyan space crafts) to the planet Capaita. Which were known for there practices or of love and peace for us to be raised. He did this in hope to give the universe some more defenders seeing how earths warriors seemed to be taking a lot of the heat here of late."
Silence. Goku looked as though he had been forced to read five novels all at once which gave him a somewhat dizzy expression. Vegeta looked amused and laughed as loud and as mockingly as he could.
"Well I don't doubt that, that's something those numbskulls in other world would concoct, what I am having trouble believing is that you could obtain that knowledge and our location with such ease, without us having a slight clue of your existence. The big lug next to me has contact with other world all the time."
"It wasn't easy!" the other saiyan Kaylynn finally spoke. "When we arrived on the planet Capaita, King Yemma himself told our village elders himself this information and even signed a letter for us ourselves to read when they felt we were ready. It Didn't take us long growing up to realize we looked nothing like everyone else on the planet. Two years ago we departed everything we knew, our whole lives just for a chance to find you and figure out more of where we came from. We visited four different planets before we finally heard whisper of powerful super saiyans that lived on earth then we realized here is where we needed to be. We would have came here first but a planet we stopped at informed us that planet earth had been destroyed in a battle against an ancient evil. We had given up hope before earth's map finally popped in on our radar and we set course for here immediately."
She reached into her pocket rummaging for something. Then Vegeta noticed the three of them were dressed rather oddly. She was wearing shirt that's left was long and stopped at her wrist yet the other sleeve…well wasn't a sleeve and it was an awful lime green color, and all of them were wearing dark brown shorts that looked two sizes two big and pockets were at the bottom of the seams. Naomi was wearing the same outfit, but Hideo wore what looked like just a long piece of cloth that tied in the back with multi colored strings. Defiantly suggested none of them had stepped on the planet earth before. Kaylynn found what she was looking for and threw a wad of paper on the ground at Vegeta's feet. A lady bug made it's way across the piece of paper as it laid there for a few moments. Her eyes never left Vegeta's whose face still held his signature smirk.
"Pick it up!" Kaylynn demanded through her teeth. And Vegeta obeyed still never leaving her glance. Vegeta chuckled to himself. The girl seemed to have a bigger set of nuts on her then the boy did.
He un-crumpled the piece of paper and low and behold it was a letter explaining everything the three of them had described and at the bottom was the giant signature of King Yemma. "Proof enough for you?" she said venomously. Vegeta crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it carelessly behind him. He had come there looking for a fight and if he had to poke and prod at there emotions to get it then he would. Goku quickly defused the situation.
"So, if all this is true, what are you doing here? Why did you track us down."
"We want to learn from you. Everything. We have trained and fought or whole lives but none of us has reached becoming a super saiyan and our Ki attacks are limited considering the planet we were raised on. We know we can get stronger and we will give our lives for this planet if that's what you wish just please give us a chance."
Goku pondered for a minute (which is what he very much disliked doing), then turned to Vegeta. Who turned his back to the trio. "Please, I have a child I don't need to take on three more to raise."
"Now hold on a minute Vegeta-" Goku had objected but Hideo had lunged himself at Vegeta pulling his fist back for the mightiest punch he could muster. Vegeta slung around and caught the boys fist in his bare hand.
"We have gone to far and searched to long for you to turn us down at the gate you arrogant bastard." he yelled trying his best to not let his face twist with pain from the mere amount of force Vegeta was crippling but if he was going to earn the proud saiyans respect he had to do something. "I believe you heard my answer child."
"Vegeta stop, think about it. We aren't going to be around forever, and our sons have fallen into the comfortable lifestyle earth provides. Our legacy doesn't just end at our bloodline but at our methods and fighting style. There here willing to learn without objection and I know I will rest more at peace knowing the universe will still have protectors. Think about it the combat skills of both of us-" Goku stared into the earths beautiful blue sky and sighed "Maybe we have found ourselves worthy rivals indeed."
Vegeta still had Hideo's fist in his clutches and thought hard onb Goku's words.
"I must admit Kakarot, defeating you in battle doesn't hold the same appeal as it did a few years ago." he chuckled.
"Aw, am I old news already?" Goku joked.
"If any one could turn this band of weaklings into true saiyan warriors we could. It won't be easy." he said and he finally let go of Hideo's hand. Hideo wasn't sure if he was refering to the training or to the teachers.
"So?" Goku asked still trying to contain the excitement of fighting someone new, neither of them seemed to be giving any attention to the actual soon to be pupils.
"You have one chance, you lot. The second you can't keep up, go home." Goku jumped into the air and wooed in delight. "Awesome I can't wait!"
About that time, Bulma, Chi Chi, Yamcha, Gohan and Videl had arrived on the sceen. Landing there oversized hover car mere inches from the three space pods. Bulma and Chi Chi had changed into some sweat pants and sweat shirts, and Chi Chi charged outta the vechicle.
"Okay what is going on!" Chi Chi demanded she noticed the three strangers. "Who are they?"
"It's ok Chi Chi, this is Hideo, Naomi and Kaylynn there going to be training under us." Goku said his excitement made him answer in one breath. "Come on guys, let me show you Vegeta and mines home where you will be saying can you fly?" They nodded and in a flash all the saiyans had disappeared from the plain.
"HEY!" Chi Chi called into the air yet again to late. "We just came from there!" As the sky cleared with nothing but birds and no sign or her husband she screamed angrily into the sky. What was she going to do with him?
As they flew Vegeta turned to his three new apprentices and repeated "One chance." Hideo gulped back his anticipation. Perhaps none of them had any idea what they were getting into.
