Chapter 97,peace arrives
The adventure on Namek had come to an end. The seven travelers had managed to revive those lost to them and the joyous celebration by all. The hardest part of the journey was finally rejoining society. For all of them, even the more experienced warriors, readjusting to life on earth was a long process.
Gohan celebrated his sixth birthday properly for the first time in a while and Chichi was pregnant with their second child, Goten. Gohan was also allowed some time to study while Goku trained and the couple enjoyed a day together as husband and wife.
Meanwhile, an old friend of Goku named Leek had come to say goodbye. she had wanted to travel to space and find a new home for himself.
After exchanging farewells, Goku and Chichi watched as she flew away.
"Goodbye, my friend!" Goku yelled, his voice rife with emotion.
"Good luck!" Chichi added.
Goku put his arm around Chichi and they watched Leek until he was nothing but a dot in the sky.
Krillin then clapped his hands and says, "All right, let's all get together and have a proper party to celebrate all the good news today!"
The group cheered in agreement.
The night was filled with lots of laughter and joy. Goku and Chichi shared a loving dance together and Gohan even managed to perform a magic trick for everybody's amazement.
Everyone talked about their journey on Namek and how thankful they were to have each other. They toasted and drank to the heroic deeds they performed during the journey and the friends who stayed behind.
The night ended in happiness and the group slept with the comfort of being reunited back on Earth. They did not know what the future held but they knew that, together, they could face any challenge.
Chapter 98,up to space.
2 months later…
Goku was at home with Gohan, cooking dinner for the family. Gohan was helping Goku with the meal, when suddenly Goku stopped dead in his tracks and held a hand to his forehead as if in deep thought.
'What's wrong, Daddy?' Gohan asked curiously.
Goku sighed and said, 'I just had a vision from King Kai. He said he didn't know what it was, but something was coming and it had the power to do great destruction.'
Gohan was scared. 'Daddy, what can we do?'
'I'm going to do something that I've wanted to do for a long time. We're going to train and become stronger,' Goku said.
Gohan's eyes lit up. 'Really? But, what about Mom?'
Goku was about to answer, when Chichi walked in. She had overheard their conversation and was not pleased. 'What do you mean 'train'? You're going to take away my only son and fly off on some idiotic adventure?'
Goku looked at her, trying to reassure her. 'I promise it won't be dangerous and the places we go will be wonderful. Please Chichi, let us go.'
Chichi sighed in defeat. She knew she wouldn't win this fight, so she eventually decided to let them go.
Goku and Gohan gathered all the supplies they needed, including the ship they had once used to go to Namek. Goku kisses Chichi goodbye, while Gohan gives his mother a hug before they fly off on their grand adventure.
The two flew high into the night sky, heading to their destination. Goku was filled with joy, as was Gohan. After all the excitement, Gohan finally asked his father where they were going.
Goku smiled and said, 'We're going to the planet Yardrat. It is the one place the legendary Yardratian martial arts techniques are taught. We are going to get stronger, learn new techniques, and be able to protect our home from whatever is coming.'
Gohan was filled with excitement and eagerly looked forward to their adventures that lie ahead.
Far away, on the planet King Kai, King Kai looked down on Goku and Gohan as they flew away and said, 'Well, I hope they're ready. Whatever is coming could be more powerful than they know.'
The two were on their way, ever closer to their destiny.
Chapter 99,a hidden namekian
Many years ago, the Namekians lived on a planet called Cereal. As their population grew, they found a new home planet, Namek, and ultimately decided to make the journey across the universe and settle , one Namekian, Concord, made a fateful mistake and ended up traveling to Earth by accident. Now, Concord was stranded in a strange environment and had to figure out how to survive in the woods.
At first, he was quite confused and overwhelmed, but he eventually learned to use the abundant resources around him to sustain himself in this new land. Soon, Concord could traverse the woods with ease, hunting small animals to eat and collecting fruits from the trees.
Concord, the Namekian, had wandered through the galaxy through an endless search. He yearned for the perfect home for the Namekian people, who had faced the brink of extinction for too many years. In his travels, he happened upon Earth, and upon further investigation noticed a seemingly forgotten lab, nestled away in the middle of a mountainous range.
Curious, Concord made his way to the lab's entrance and pushed it open, noticing the dust that had accumulated over the years that it had been vacant. He stepped inside, and a series of fluorescent lights that had apparently been placed on a timer flickered to life. He glanced around, taking in his surroundings. Everywhere he looked, there were projects that had belonged to Dr. Gero that hadn't been completed. Broken and unfinished androids and robots lay about, as if a person had been using them for target was about to turn away when he spotted a tube filled with a green liquid. Inside floated a figure, its features malleable in the murky liquid. Concord stepped closer and took the tube in his hands, examining the figure within. Judging from its semi-flexible cybernetic structure and its flashing eyes, the figure appeared to be some sort of bug-like creature.
'What have I found?' Concord muttered to himself. He knew that if he could use this figure to construct the perfect being he could possibly achieve his goal and make the Namekians the superior race in the universe.
Chapter 100,it's the 100th chapter yay!
I just wanna take some time to thank you guys for being with me throughout this journey of writing this story. You guys have made my day and you guys have kept me motivated,so thank you for all of your support,now onto the story…
Concord the wandering Namekian surveyed the laboratory of the fallen Dr. Gero with a calculating eye. He had come here with a mission- to use Dr. Gero's research into perfecting organisms in order to elevate the Namekians in the universe. He already had a plan, and was confident that he could work with what Dr. Gero had already achieved in his research.
He peered into a tube of green liquid, and saw the bug-like creature Dr. Gero had created. He knew this creature was the beginning of the plan that he intended to modify. He pulled out his bag, and began preparing the modification.
Concord added Cerealian DNA to the creature, and mixed it with his own. He then added some S cells and other bio-matter, and watched as the creature shifted and turned red instead of green. He laughed, for it was growing steadily.
"So this is Cell," he said, referring to what Dr. Gero had written in his plans. "But I think I'll call him Atom, to make it my own."
Concord was confident he knew how to make the modifications he wanted. After all, he had read extensively on Dr. Gero's science books and plans, for he had been a scientist and weapons maker himself long before he had ended up on Earth. He examined the creature's genes and nervous systems, and made the necessary modifications.
He worked through the night, tweaking and adjusting with each change. Finally, satisfied with his work, he stepped back and took in the masterpiece before him.
Concord looked to the heavens and shouted with joy. "Behold, my experiment! No longer shall the Namekians be oppressed!" He felt a sense of unparalleled accomplishment, knowing he had helped achieve something great- something that would help give the Namekians the dominance they deserved in the will now take only 2 months to grow into his imperfect form and emerge from his tube.
Chapter 101,returning home
The small group of saiyan warriors, led by Raditz, beat the one week timeline and returned back to planet Bardock. Raditz was the first to arrive, as he had encouraged the others to push on so they could return faster. When he arrived, he requested an audience with his father, King Bardock, feeling proud that he was able to save his troops and complete the mission given to him.
Raditz was quickly ushered into the large courtroom where King Bardock sat. His father eyed Raditz, unwavering, as he entered the room. Raditz bowed, an attempt to show respect, and then began to explain what had happened. "Father, I come to report on our mission," Raditz began, a hint of fatigue in his voice. "Although we tried our best, we were not able to obtain the dragon balls." King Bardock's face grew dark as Raditz continued. He told the story of how Commander Pace had made the mistake of killing Grand Elder Guru, thus causing the dragon balls to be lost forever. Raditz told the story of Nail, how his anger and power had killed Pace and her entire squad,and that Raditz' own squad had been killed by namekians.
When Raditz finished the story, there was a deafening silence in the courtroom. King Bardock seemed to be pondering something, his face pinched in concentration. Suddenly, he erupted in a fit of anger. "You!" he shouted, pointing a finger at Raditz.
"You were the one in charge! You were the one who made the mistake of allowing Pace to kill Guru, and now you tell me that all of our elite troops on Namek are now lost forever." The King kept his finger pointed at Raditz, his expression an unspoken warning. He took a few steps towards Raditz, his face barely a few inches from his son's.
"You are an unworthy son," he spat. "You are a terrible saiyan. I expect that you will find a way to get our troops back, or else you will meet your end."
The King stepped away from Raditz, his tyrant words still echoing in the courtroom. Raditz's heart pounded in his ears, his fear of the King greater than ever. Raditz bowed, a sign of respect, and then began to formulate a plan to get the troops back.
Chapter 103,Goku must fall
Upon arriving at Namek, mayhem ensued. Commander Pace was killed by Nail, a Namekian warrior, during the skirmish. Horrified, Raditz watched as Pace's lifeless body hit the ground, and only moments later, he and his fellow soldiers were defeated by a group of Namekian warriors.
Desperate in his grief and in his newfound loneliness, Raditz set his sights on a new mission: to find some new elite troops to replace those that had been killed. Little did he know, this mission would lead to all of King Bardock's worst nightmares.
During his fight with Goku, Raditz killed his own mother, Queen Gine. King Bardock was enraged: he had just lost the woman he had loved, and the one whom Raditz admired and respected more than anything.
In a fit of rage, King Bardock killed his nearby assistant, unable to process the pain and grief of his loss. Bardock's fury quickly became directed toward Raditz himself, as the Saiyan King saw his youngest son as a traitor that had killed Queen Gine.
"You. You killed her!" shouted the enraged King.
"No!" pleaded Raditz, trembling. "It wasn't me!"
"Then who?" snarled Bardock.
Under immense pressure, Raditz lied. "It was Goku."
The lie extinguished Bardock's love for Goku, the youngest and most cherished of his two sons. He had been supplanted as a menace and threat in Bardock's eyes.
Meanwhile, back on Namek, Raditz had been busy setting up a tournament. This tournament was to find replacements of the elite troops and soldiers killed in the battle against the Namekians. The Saiyans had found an all new, unspoken purpose: to avenge Queen Gine's death.
Fearful of King Bardock's wrath, Raditz vowed silence on the truth about Queen Gine's death. The tournament would serve two purposes: not only to replace the fallen Saiyans, but for Raditz to hide the truth from King Bardock.
Chapter 104,the tournament starts
Raditz had just announced the most anticipated tournament of the year; The King Bardock Elite Troop Tournament. He, as one of king Bardock's top officers, stated the rules of the tournament and the lavish rewards of the winners; ten new recruits would get the chance to become part of the elite troops. If any contestants didn't make it to the top, they would either be kicked out of the tournament completely or put in the lower or middle class warriors.
The tournament was highly anticipated by all, especially amongst the travelers that had just arrived to the planet. Amongst them were three strong travelers that caught the attention of everyone around them; a tall android, clothed in red armor, a boy with long hair and enhanced genetics, and a blonde girl with even more impressive mechanics. The trio had been traveling space for a while ever since they had killed Dr. Gero, the only person who had control over them.
Having just learned of the tournament, the trio decided to register. Anyone who was above the age of 13 was eligible to participate and so the three registered.
Just then, a mysterious figure cloaked in a cape appeared right after the trio had registered for the tournament. Everyone seemed to be intrigued by the man, however before anyone could even approach him, he disappeared into the crowd.
The strange man then confronted the trio and revealed himself to be the exiled prince Vegeta the third. He knew that the androids were a lot stronger than the contestants, so he suggested they make a deal. He proposed that if the androids let him make it to the top 10 winners, he'd give them a large sum of money.
"Interesting", 18 said as she stepped forward. She seemed to take a liking to the proposal since she loves money. 17, however, was not as keen since he wanted to win the tournament with his own skill and strength.
"It's up to the two of you", prince Vegeta added before turning away and disappearing again.
16 and 18 shared a look and only after a moment of tension and hesitation, 16 nodded his head. They had accepted the prince's deal.
The tournament had begun and 16, 17, and 18 had all taken their places on the tournament grounds. Not only were there sights of excitement, but tension and anticipation as well as the crowds discussed the androids and the prince.
Chapter 105,The battle begins
Kiru got into the arena with determination, she was ready to show her skill in Ki Arts and Long Range Combat. Standing in the center, she scanned the arena to check out potential opponents. She laid her eyes on Girow, a Male Android age 22. He was much bigger than her but his experience in Ki Arts, Martial Arts and Close Combat was imposing.
Kiru knew she had to be careful. She steadied her breathing and steadied her stance, waiting for Girow's attack.
Suddenly Girow came at Kiru with an array of strikes, both Ki Arts and Martial Arts. Kiru kept quite as she blocked and dodged as much as she could, feeling the strength of each blow. After a few minutes of back and forth, Girow's strength proved to be the superior, as he finally knocked Kiru out of the ring.
The audience cheered and applauded for Girow's win as the arena moved onto the next match.
Another fighter, Yusif a Male Human age 17 with experience in Ki Arts and Ki Output, was in the arena. His opponent was Oupor a Male Half Saiyan, age 16, Experienced at Ki Arts and Ki Regeneration.
The two engaged in a fierce battle, Ki Arts-style of course. Both fought hard and used strategic Ki Arts and Ki Output techniques. The battle was back and forth, Oupor managing to stay on par with Yusif but eventually, Yusif's strength paid off, as he managed to knock Oupor out of the ring.
The audience's cheers grew louder as Yusif was declared the winner. As everyone's eyes turned to the last contestants, a hush fell over the arena.
Android 17 stepped forward almost causally, watching the other contestants with scorn. He was ready to get rid of all the weaklings and prove his worth.
His opponent was a female Human age 24, experienced at Ki Arts and Ki Output, Jordan. She looked strong and capable, and as she looked at 17 she powered up, revealing that she knew the Kaioken technique from King Kai.
The two of them began fighting and the audience could sense that Jordan had the upper hand. But soon enough, 17 used his Doom Blaster technique and managed to blast Jordan out of the ring, along with other contestants around her.
Chapter 106,the cerelian potential
Android 18 and Beetrot were in the massive ring staring at each other, surrounded by cheering audience. Android 18 was known for her method of overpowering her opponents, while Beetrot was known for her speedy moves and powerful ki blasts.
Beetrot was the first to attack. She charged a powerful ki blast and fired it at Android 18. Android 18 reacted quickly by deflecting it with a force field, and then charged a ki blast of her own. The two exchanged blows, each one dodging and countering the other's attacks with swift agility.
As the fight progressed, the intensity increased. Android 18 couldn't seem to get the upper hand, suffering blow after blow from Beetrot's overwhelming speed and agility. Gritting her teeth, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Before Beetrot could make her next move, Android 18 struck with a powerful punch. Beetrot reacted quickly by leaping back, android 18 exposing the poison needle hidden in her arm. Android 18 took this opportunity to inject the poison into Beetrot, stunning her. Beetrot staggered back as the poison made its way through her this caused a mutation i her Body which caused Beetrot to change form. Her eyes began to glow an eerie red, and a green aura surrounded her. Her clothes had torn away in the transformation, revealing her greatly increased muscle mass. Then, the power of a legendary form rocketed through herself.
Android 18 had never seen this form before, and she knew that she was outmatched. But she was determined to win, and she charged once more at her opponent.
The two began to battle once more, trading blows and kicks with a ferocity and speed only attainable in this legendary form. Android 18 didn't know how much longer she could fight, but she pulled out whatever strength she had left and threw all of her energy into a powerful Solar Kamehameha blast.
In a brilliant explosion of power, the attack overwhelmed Beetrot and she fell to the ground unconscious. A still shocked Android 18 stared at Beetrot's body lying limp on the floor, surrounded by an eerie green glow.
The crowd gave a massive cheer as Raditz stepped into the ring and declared Android 18 as the champion. Android 18, feeling relieved yet exhausted, smiled with satisfaction at her victory.
