Hello again! Are we enjoying the story? How about Miki NOT being preggo? Did you see it coming? Let's get on with it then!
The young Namek stood broken hearted. Gohan was so strong, what could have defeated Gohan? And Piccolo must have fallen too if they had come all the way to Namek for the balls. "Please, tell me…uhh tell us everything. Please!" The Namek pleaded
Dado interrupted. "Denda that is rude, these travelers have come a long way they might like to rest before hand. Though I can't hand over any Dragon Balls until I know why." The old Namek looked at the two lovers.
"We have no problem talking. We expected it. We couldn't accept the Dragon Balls until you know everything." Miki piped in. "Is there a place we can sit and speak with you all?" Miki looked at the elder hoping he'd be able to accommodate.
"Yes, I believe we could do that. Please fallow me" He led the visitors to the center of town where a couple logs had been placed as seating. "Now please tell us what happened."
Miki looked at Trunks, "should I?" she questioned. He only nodded. It had been years but the whole thing was still very painful to him. "Well I'll start from the beginning" Miki had learned the whole story from Bulma, she had repeated it many times so she knew most everything, and if she missed something Trunks could chime in.
"After you all left Earth, Goku didn't return for nearly a year and half. Vegeta, who had been living with Bulma began his quest for Super Saiyan. During this time Bulma conceived a son, a half Saiyan. Trunks." She gestured her hand to the young man to her side, he blushed a bit looking at the ground only nodding in reply.
"So you are Bulma child?" The elder questioned just as another piped in "He's Vegeta's son!" The elder was ashamed of his kinsmen. "I'm sorry for that, but he wasn't the nicest guy when we last saw him."
"I know. But he changed. He changed because of my mother. He wasn't evil" Trunks gritted his teeth as Miki placed a hand on his knee.
"Yes he is Vegeta's and Bulma's child. Thing were going great until, until these monsters arose from the ground. Androids. They were ruthless evil heartless machines. They killed anyone and anything. The Z fighters fought bravely to save the Earth, but they all fell. Goku didn't even have the chance to fight, he was killed by a strange heart disease. The only two remaining fighters where Gohan and Trunks. Gohan took it upon himself to fight them and to train Trunks in the possess. During his training Trunks achieve Super Saiyan, he's the youngest to ever do it." Miki smiled proud of her lover. The Namek's talked amongst themselves as Miki continued.
"Soon Gohan fell to the androids; they were too much for him. They took pleasure in picking on Trunks, not quite ready to kill him, he was too much fun. That's when Bulma was able to create a time machine. This machine would send Trunks back in time in hopes of stopping the Androids. It worked but only in that time line. Trunks went back to his time and continued to fight agent the androids. He traveled back and forth from time to time zone, getting stronger in the past which in turn made him who he is today."
Trunks broke in. "You see, by training with my father and the others I was able to build my strength and come back to this time and defeat the androids, and cell. Another evil creation. And that's what brings us here. Everyone is dead only 1/3 of the Earth's population is alive, and we…I..my mother we want to wish back our loved ones." He looked at the Nameks pleading with his eyes.
"Trunks is now the strongest warrior in the universe, at least from what we can tell. And he has a heart of Gold. We'll do anything you require of us, just please let us bring them back." Miki too pleaded.
"Very well, who is it you wish to bring back?" Dado asked. Knowing the answer already.
"Well everyone really." Miki through in. "Truthfully, the first would be Piccolo so the Earth balls would return, Goku, and yes, Vegeta. They all died doing all they could to save the Earth!" Miki's eyes watered. They both feared, that since they wanted Vegeta back they'd be refuse by them. At least they'd refuse to bring him back.
"Elder, Vegeta has shown change, even when we left Earth he wasn't the same cold hearted man he once was." Denda begged on their behalf. "Besides, if he was truly evil the Dragon won't let him come back."
The elder nodded. "Very well Denda, please accompany these visitors to the other villages and collect the Dragon Balls. However it is the choice of the other elders to give up their balls. Remember that." He nodded and the group disappeared back to their tasks beforehand.
"All right then, please fallow me, we will return with the balls here. If that's ok with you two?" They nodded in agreement. Within moments they were in the sky Miki in Trunks arms and Denda leading the pack. "Tell me more about Gohan, we became close friends on Earth. I'm pained to hear of his passing."
Trunks spoke highly of his friend and master, he cared for Gohan. They both did, he was a kind and gentle boy. As the day went on they had little to no trouble collecting the balls, having to re-tail the story 6 times over. There was one village left, Denda commented on how this would be the hardest village to convince. "You see many of them once lived in Guru's village. And well, your father, umm Vegeta killed them, and they didn't come back." Denda looked to the ground. He didn't mean to hurt the young man, but he had to be totally honest.
Miki could feel Trunks' grip tighten on her, he was upset and doing all in his power to fight it. "Well we just won't tell them about Vegeta and all that." Miki smiled know it was a long shot.
"No." Trunks rasped. "They must know. I'm not ashamed of who my father is. His actions have a direct link to me. We will just have to convince them he isn't evil."
They soon arrived at the village; the villagers had heard about the traveler and were ready for them. The elder of the village spoke up. "So, you wish for our Dragon Balls so you may bring a killer back to life?"
"No..that's not…" Miki was cut off, Trunks had a few things to say.
"My father is not evil, and yes he had killed, he knew no other way than that of murder. Before he died he changed, he was no longer Frieza's little toy, he was his own man. With a loving family. We want him back, my mother and I desire for him and the others to return. Please, please forgive him." Trunks shed a tear, he truly wanted his father back. Even if this was the man he had never really known. They conversed for some time until the elder spoke up again.
"Very well, but you are directly responsible for his actions. We rely on you to keep him from hurting anyone else." The elder handed out the Dragon Ball and Miki took it.
"Don't worry. He won't" Trunks spoke firmly. "Thank you. You will not regret this." With that the 3 of them were off again, 6 Dragon Balls in tow.
The trio soon arrived at the first village. The Namek's had gathered to watch from all of the villages, it wasn't common for the Namek's to use the Dragon Balls so when it happened it was a sight.
"I see you have collected all 6, very nice. I shall too hand over my ball." Dado place his ball on the ground with the rest of them. "Very well, please precede Denda."
Denda began calling upon the Dragon, when the great Purunga appeared. Miki was taken aback by the size and might of the Dragon, Trunks too was surprised. They sky was dark and lighting shook the ground. This dragon looked nothing like the Earth Dragon. "I have been summoned I shall great only three wishes. Choose wisely."
"Well what should we ask?" Denda questioned.
Miki piped up. "Please ask him to return Piccolo to life." This was a man she did not know, but knew he was of high importance.
"Your wish has been granted, continue with you second wish." The Great Purunga threatened.
This time Trunks spoke up. "Please bring my father, Vegeta back to life." He begged the dragon.
"Your wish has been granted; continue with your third and final wish."
The excitement between the two loves was so vast to even speak. She knew that Vegeta would make her lover happy, and he knew Vegeta would make his mother happy.
"Please bring back Goku." Miki yelled up to the dragon.
"Your wish can not be granted. The one you call Goku cannot be wished back, for he died of natural causes. Please make one more wish, I don't have all day."
What? They never thought about that, even if he wanted to be brought back he couldn't he died of his heart not by the androids.
A voice came over Trunks. "Trunks can you hear me? Hello Trunks? You don't know me, but this is Goku" Trunks looked up to the heavens. He had heard of the telepathy of the dead, but never experienced it for himself.
"Huh? Goku!?" Trunks yelled to the sky.
"Yes, now we don't have much time, but I want you to wish Gohan back. I can't return, and I wouldn't even if I could. That world no longer needs me. The rest of the gang wishes to stay up here as well. You have already wished back the only other two wishing to be brought back to life, please wish my son back." Trunks nodded as another voice, a voice he knew came through.
"Yo Trunks, I can't wait to see you again. You've gotten pretty strong. I'll see you on Earth!" With that the voices were gone. Trunks looked up to Purunga.
"Please wish Gohan back to life!" he yelled up to the monster.
"Very well. Your wish has been granted. I must go now." With that the Dragon was gone, leaving the balls scattered around the world once again.
The lovers looked at each other. "So what did Goku say?" Miki questioned finding her way to Trunks's arms.
"He said, he and the others wanted to stay back in the sprite world. That the world doesn't need them anymore, and that Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan were the only ones wanting to be wished back anyhow. My father wanted to come home!" Trunks smiled egger to get to Earth and meet his father once again.
The night had fallen; Trunks and Miki were ready to head out come first light. A green friend had asked if he could come along. And of course they agreed. It was the least they could do for a people that had given them so much. As morning came they waved good-bye to the world of Namek and its people. Miki, Trunks, and Denda sped off into space.
