Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or have any rights to it.
Note: The next few chapters are based off of the last DBZ movie, "Wrath of the Dragon," If you aren't familiar with it, you will probably have trouble understanding this chapter. Also, this chapter takes place one year after the events of the last chapter, meaning that Glorft will arrive in about 5 years.
A man in sunglasses and a black leather jacket held a revolver to a restaurant cashier. "Give me all the money in the cash register! This is a stick up!"
The terrified cashier did as he was told and emptied the cash register in the sack that the robber held out.
The robber then ran outside and got into the getaway car that had just pulled up.
"Did you get the loot?" asked his accomplice.
"Yeah man, let's get the hell outa here before the cops show up."
The accomplice did as he was told and floored it. He aero car went zooming down the road, but came to an abrupt stop when a figure appeared on the road to block its path.
The driver beeped his horn as he became agitated. "Hey idiot! What the hell are you doing on the road?"
The man on the road smirked as another figure, a women landed next to him, causing the robber's jaws to drop in surprise. They were both wearing the same clothing, but the man's clothes were mostly black, red and green, while the women's were blue, pink and white.
"Looks they haven't heard of us," said the man.
"Shall we?" replied the women.
The man nodded and the two took up a series of goofy poses.
"I am The Great Saiyaman!" said the man.
"I am Saiyawomen!" said the women.
They both struck a goofy pose together, eliciting a laugh from the criminals.
"How dare you laugh at us!" Gohan smashed his fist into the car engine, preventing any escape from the criminals.
The next few minutes consisted of him and Videl forcibly extracting the robbers from the car and flying them to the nearest police station.
As they left the police station, Gohan and Videl noticed an old man following them.
"Hey you. I know you're following us. Why don't you come out and tell us what you want?"
The old man wore a grey hood, and had whiskers that looked similar to ones found on a Chinese dragon. He had grayish green skin that was covered in wrinkles.
The man held out a music box. "My name is Hoy. Please help me."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "What exactly do you need help with?"
"So you just agreed?" Bulma gave Gohan a skeptical look.
"He sounded like he really needed help. He said that there was a threat to Earth and that some guy named Tapion could help stop it. He said he needed Shenron to open the music box."
Bulma sighed. "We don't even know who he is. The last shrimpy old guy who wanted to set someone free was Babidi, and we all know what happened next."
"Anyway, I need to borrow the dragon radar."
"Do you really need the dragonballs to open a music box?"
"Yeah. I can't believe it either, but I just wasn't able to open it."
"Fine, just be careful Gohan."
Gohan took the dragon radar and started hunting for the dragonballs.
Supreme Kai's eyes were wide as he watched Goku training.
Goku was at super saiyan 3, and was able to stay like this for a long time due to him being dead.
"Wow Goku…you're working really hard. Maybe you should take a break."
"Can't…must be ready…for Glorft."
"But you can't go to Earth."
"I can. If they revive me with the Namekian dragonballs."
"It won't do you any good," said Old Kai.
Goku stopped mid-punch and turned to old Kai. "Why not?"
"Neo made it clear that super saiyan 3 will never be enough. That is why he is trying to ascend…to super saiyan 4."
Goku powered down and sat in front of Old Kai with an eager expression. "There's a super saiyan 4?"
"There is…though I didn't think it was possible anymore. It occurs when a super saiyan learns to control the Oozaru form."
"I see, and are you sure it's the only way to defeat Glorft?"
"I am…if it's enough. There's no guarantee that a super saiyan 4 will be strong enough on its own."
Goku clenched his fists in frustration. "Darn it! If only I still had my tail. Then maybe I could help out."
Old Kai started thinking as an idea came to him. Hmm…it might work.
Goku noticed the Kai's expression. "What's on your mind Old Kai?"
"I might be able to regrow your tail with my powers…though it will take a while."
Goku's face lit up instantly. "I have five years to prepare for Glorft, let's get started."
He enthusiastically plopped down in front of old Kai.
"Alright, just settle down." Old Kai took a deep breathe before extending his hands.
"Umm…I'll be going now." Supreme Kai left since he had no intention of watching another ceremony like this.
"Thanks for helping me guys," said Gohan as he, Goten, ad Trunks arranged the dragonballs in a circle.
"I wonder what the hero guy will look like," said Goten. "Was his name Taipoon."
"For the last time Goten it was Tapion," said Trunks.
"Oh, thanks Trunks."
Hoy grinned broadly as he saw the seven dragonballs in front of him. He placed the music box near the dragonballs before slipping into the shadows.
"Alright Shenron, I summon you!" Gohan smiled as the dragonballs started to glow.
The sky darkened as a streak of lightning shot up from the balls. It went up, curved and looped in several directions before finally materializing as the eternal dragon.
Videl stared up in awe at Shenron. She hadn't seen him in a very long time.
"Why have you summoned me? What is your first wish?"
"We only have one wish Shenron," said Gohan. "Please open this music box for us."
Shenron's eyes glowed and the music box shattered. "It has been done. I will take my leave until the next summoning."
Gohan and the others gathered around the box. They stared at the remains with wide eyes.
"See Gohan, I told you it was just a trick," said Videl.
"Wait, I hear something," said Trunks. "It sounds like music."
The tune became clearer as the smoke from the shattered music box started to materialize.
They all looked to the source of the sound and saw an alien materializing. He looked similar to supreme Kai's race, but had lighter skin and red hair. He had clothing that resembled something a video game hero would wear (he looks very similar to Link) and a sword that Gohan thought looked exactly the same as future Trunks'.
He was playing an ocarina, but stopped after fully materializing. His eyes widened in disbelief as he realized that he was free.
"What's going on? Who set me free?" His tone showed fear.
"We did," said Goten.
"You idiots! Do you have any idea what you've done?" He stormed off, leaving the group of four confused.
"So that was Tapion," said Gohan in an awkward tone.
"Some hero," said Videl in a sterner tone. "He didn't even thank us for setting him free."
Neo panted heavily after reverting from a golden Oozaru to normal.
"You're getting close Neo," said Vegeta. "You've almost got it. It won't be long now."
"Thank you Vegeta. I guess I'll be off now. Bulma said she was testing my DNA for something. She said the results would be done today."
"Alright. I'll see you in a week for your next lesson." As Neo left, Vegeta started to think. That woman has something up her sleeve I just know it.
When Neo entered Bulma's lab he found her at the computer, staring in awe at something.
"Is something wrong Bulma?" asked a concerned Neo.
"No, nothing's wrong…I was just thinking, Gohan summoned the eternal dragon today."
"Yeah, Vegeta and I noticed while we were training. But why is that so…mind boggling?"
"Its because, Gohan needed Shenron's help to open a music box. He said he couldn't open it himself which meant that it must have been very hard to open. And by that I mean ridiculously hard."
"Wow. Anyway, what were the results of my test?"
"As I suspected, you were forty percent saiyan, and sixty percent human. I appears that you've gotten all the beneficial saiyan genes without any of the not so beneficial ones…such as the enormous appetite."
"I guess that's a good thing. Anyway, thanks Bulma. I'll be going now."
When Neo left, Bulma let out a deep sigh and leaned forward, resting her elbows on the desk.
"So that's why he was so secretive about his parents. I should've guessed she would be his mother."
"Who would be his mother?"
Bulma jumped when she heard the voice and turned around to see Vegeta with a smug look on his face.
"I knew you had an ulterior motive for testing Neo's DNA." Vegeta leaned over Bulma to look at the results. "So he's the offspring of android Eighteen."
"You won't stop training him will you? He might be the only one who could defeat Glorft. Even though you've become a super saiyan 3, from what I've heard, you wouldn't stand a chance."
"Relax," said Vegeta in a calm tone. "If I had known from the beginning I might have said no. However, I've come to respect the boy over time."
Vegeta then noticed something that seemed off. "Who is his father? This DNA scan assumes that you already know the father."
"I…I heard Neo say who his father was to Gohan, but a swore to keep it secret."
Vegeta simply grunted. "Fine, have it your way. I'll get the information from you eventually."
With that said, Vegeta left the lab to get cleaned up. He had a smug grin. Kakarot, I know you've been watching. I know that you know that I've becoming a super saiyan 3 and I didn't need to die in order to do so."
This chapter took so long, but I have a better idea of how the next few chapters will go now.
This is something I should've said in my earlier chapters:
This is how you can draw an accurate image of Neo. Just trace a picture of any adult Gohan (preferably future Gohan). Then change the eyes to Eighteen's eyes, and change the hair to Seventeen's hair, but with spikes at the ends, giving it a dreadlock effect. Then draw a black tail if you're doing a full body image.
