Author's Note: Hey guys, uhhh, surprise, surprise, I just had a minor jaw procedure. I had a little jaw surgery, which means updates might be slower than usual. Seeing how I just got back from the hospital this morning, I don't see myself updating most of my stories for a few days because my vision is a little blurry, my memory is a tad slow, and I'm in the recovery process. BTW, thanks to those of you who have been reviewing. I've seen an increase in interest in this story, which is why I'm giving you guys an update; I hope you enjoy.
Back At Capsule Corp
Ty inspected his new clothes. It was one of Vegeta's T-Shirts and oversized sweatpants that he had to tie extra tight so they didn't fall down, "…Well? How do I look?" Ty asked.
"…Eh." Jaxon shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, thanks for being honest." Ty laughed as the two rejoined the others; Jaxon began to giggle uncontrollably.
"So this man, Heinrich, who is he?" Gohan asked.
"He's someone who won't die." Ty said. Everyone stared at him, "I've killed this man forty-three times, and he won't die!" Ty yelled.
"So he can regenerate?" Piccolo asked.
"I don't know what he does, he just won't die!" Ty said.
"Are you sure you don't want us to handle this?" Goku asked.
"I can fight myself!" Ty spat.
"Ok, ok, I'm just saying." Goku said, "Krillin, Yamcha, and 18, I want you to stay back here with Jaxon, Trunks, and Goten." Goku said.
"Hey, why can't we come?" Trunks whined.
"Cause you almost died, brat." Vegeta snarled.
"Hmph." Trunks crossed his arms and mumbled to himself.
"What did you say?" Vegeta snarled causing Trunks to quickly back away.
"Nothing sir." The boy gulped. Ty stared at Vegeta; was that how his father was? Was he hostile? Oh frak, he couldn't even remember, he couldn't remember if his own father acted like that, all he could remember was that horrible day, and what he said; his last words. He was starting to get…no, it's good, it's cool, he doesn't need it, not yet, not now…maybe he'll have some later though, just a little to help him relax. Jaxon has a whole bunch in his pod, I think.
"Boy!" Vegeta yelled.
"Huh? Yea, what?" Ty asked as he shook the thoughts of his parents from his head.
"You ok?" Gohan asked.
"Yea, fine, of course. Now, you guys are cool with helping me and my little brother, right?" Ty asked for the tenth time.
"Yes, you can trust us. I don't know how things have worked out for you guys in the passed, but we're different, we're always willing to help people out." Goku smiled.
"Cut the crap Kakarott, let's go." Vegeta said. The Prince, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo all ran out the front door; Ty turned to the group of fighters.
"My brother, if anything happens to him…" Ty pointed to the cleaning bot that was cleaning up the bodies in the living room, "I'm serious." Ty growled.
"Relax, we'll watch him." Trunks said.
"…Watch him too." Ty said as he pointed at Trunks.
"Hey!" Trunks yelled as Ty ran out the front door, "Stupid son of a…" Trunks stopped when he saw Jaxon's eyes flicker red. The younger boy slightly shook his head. If there was one thing Ty didn't stand for, it was when people even mentioned his parents in an insult. Jaxon was just hoping Ty didn't resort to using his 'stuff' like he did last time. Actually, come to think of it, he could go for some himself, but it would have to wait until later.
In West City
"Boo-ya, first line of the story, here we go." Officer Carl Winslow smiled as he drove his patrol car down the street; yup, Mr. Die Hard Family Matters Cop is back, I love'em.
'Carl, come in Carl, over.' A voice on the Radio said.
"This is Carl, I read you, over." Carl said as he picked up the Radio and held down a button.
'Carl, you're not going to believe this, over' The Radio said.
"Jackie, try me, over" Carl smirked
'Ha, I guess you've seen men with swords terrorizing the town, right? Over.' Jackie said.
"Oh for the love of, I'm on it, over." Carl sighed.
'On Highway Six, get over there and take care of them, over and out.' Jackie said.
"…I'll bet you anything those flying guys are gona be there; Saiyaman and friends, stupid." Carl snarled.
25 Years Ago
Frieza sat in his chair, sipping his wine as he stared at his guest, "…Vegeta, who am I looking at?" Frieza asked. 17-year-old Vegeta took a step forwards and bowed
"Lord Frieza, this is Prophet Herelaah of the Vashmallian Empire. His ship wishes to search Planet Aldapack before we destroy it." Vegeta said. Frieza finished his wine and stood up. He walked up to the very old man and scanned him. He was dressed in nice robes and had a cloth mask to cover his head except for his yellowish eyes and light blue skin.
"Why do you want to search Aldapack?" Frieza asked.
"He is searching for something." One of Herelaah's guards said.
"I was asking him." Frieza snarled.
"He does not speak unless he needs to." The Guard said.
"Really?" Frieza smirked. Herelaah stared at Frieza and held up his hands. He clapped three times and several guards were by his side. Zarbon and Dodoria got in fighting stances. The guards took out a piece of paper and held it up. There was a large symbol drawn on the paper. "Pretty picture, did you draw it?" Frieza snorted. Herelaah snapped his finger.
"This symbol is on a Book, a very important book that we are searching for." The Guard said.
"And why is this book so important that it has to delay my fun?" Frieza asked. Herelaah snapped his finger and several men came into the room with large bags. "Zarbon." Frieza said.
"Yes Lord Frieza.' Zarbon said as he ran over to one of the bags and tore it open. Frieza's jaw dropped.
"I'll buy the planet from you." Herelaah said. Frieza stared at him and smiled evilly.
"A lot of money for a book, isn't it?" Frieza asked.
"I don't expect it to be there, just a clue to its' location, do we have a deal?" Herelaah asked.
"Yes, planet is all yours." Frieza said.
"You may have it once I am done, the race means nothing to me, just the clue." Herelaah said. Frieza smiled as he looked at the jewels; he liked this guy.
"You there, boy, the door." One of the Guards hissed; Vegeta didn't move.
"Vegeta, get the door!" Frieza snarled as he fired a small blast at the teen, badly burning his chest.
"Sorry Lord Frieza." Vegeta gulped as he ran over to the door and opened it. They began to leave.
"Oh…Vegeta." Herelaah said as he turned. Vegeta looked up at him, "We'll be meeting again…some day." Herelaah laughed as he held up his hand and blasted the boy back to the wall.
"Ha haa!" Frieza laughed. Vegeta felt his chest burn with pain, and what did he mean by that? He'd meet him again?
Present Day
So that's what Herelaah meant. That was the last time he saw Herelaah personally, of course business between him and Frieza continued, but there came a point where Herelaah and the Vashmall started to get stronger, and Frieza became more curious about the book.
"Are you sure my brother will be ok?" Ty asked as he tried to keep up with the Z Warriors.
"He seemed to do well last night." Vegeta said, "Except he did stab one of the brats, had to give Goten a senzu bean, funny thing though, Jaxon knew where the bag was." Vegeta said.
"Yea, that doesn't surprise me. Kamell sees a lot more than you think, just watch yourself around him." Said Ty, of course it wasn't him he was worried about, I mean sure, Kamell was bad and all-powerful, but there was her, and when she got involved, things got crazy. Come to think of it, he forgot to mention her to the Z Warriors, oh well, not important.
"Hn." Vegeta grunted.
Back At The House
Everyone watched as Taz inspected the food and then nodded his head, "Grah." The beast barked. With that, Jaxon began to eat.
"Why do you check the food?" Goten asked.
"Do you really think there's poison in it?" Trunks chuckled. How paranoid do you have to be to think that your food is poisoned?
"My brother has been poisoned three times, but he only had a small dose so he survived, I almost died once, but Ty killed the guy for the antidote. Taz has a really good nose and he can smell poison." Jaxon said.
"How did you figure that out?" Yamcha asked.
"We were eating some stuff someone gave us and Taz started to sniff it, then he bit my hand until I dropped it. I got sick but lived; that's how we figured it out." Jaxon said.
"Huh." Krillin said.
"…How did you know that he wasn't just hungry?" Yamcha asked.
"Cause we also found the empty bottle in the bottom of the trash. After a few more times we figured it out." Jaxon said. It was noted that Jaxon was talking a lot more than yesterday. They seemed to be gaining his trust. "…Are you guys really gona help us stop Herelaah?" Jaxon asked.
"Sure." Everyone said in unison.
"…Why?" Jaxon asked.
"Why not?" Goten asked.
"Hmm…" Jaxon scrunched his face and thought for a moment, "…I've got nothing." Jaxon said.
"This guy sounds like a threat to the Universe; it's better if we get rid of him, and you two seem like nice kids." Krillin said. Jaxon just stared at him; nobody ever called them 'nice kids' before.
"So have you killed a lot of people?" Trunks asked. The only person he ever helped kill was Broly, but Goten, Gohan, and (from Goten and Gohan said) Goku's Ghost helped them, so technically Trunks has never killed anyone.
"Hmm…" Jaxon thought for a moment, "Not as many as my brother. He's a lot better at it than I am. I'm good at killing Royal Guards though." Jaxon said.
"Those sword guys?" Trunks asked.
"Yup, they're not that tough, but their swords are very dangerous. That's why you got hurt." Jaxon said.
"Well, stupid shit snuck up on me. Why couldn't I sense his KI?" Trunks asked.
"Be right back." Jaxon got up and walked off. He came back with a bloody metal belt in his hand, "These things help mask your energy. This is a high quality one used for scouts so they can get close without being detected. The guys outside the city are probably using the lower model. That's used in large groups so they get close enough. These break easily so they tend to use the lower model." Jaxon said.
"Huh." Trunks grunted.
"…What race are you anyways?" Jaxon asked as he pointed at Trunks and Goten.
"We're half Saiyan, half Human." Trunks and Goten said with a proud smile spread across their face.
"…Saiyan?" Jaxon tilted his head; Kamell mentioned something about that last night, but his definition was a little overly exaggerated.
"…"
"…That's not very nice." Jaxon said.
"What did he say?" Trunks asked, assuming Jaxon was talking to the Book.
"He called Saiyans a bunch of poo throwing monkeys who all got killed in a fiery explosion of death and destruction by Lord Frieza." Jaxon said nervously.
"Grrr!" Trunks's KI shot up causing Jaxon to visibly jump.
"He said it, not me, please don't hurt me!" Jaxon begged as he backed away. Everyone stared at him, "Hmm?" Jaxon's face changed, "…You…you guys really aren't going to hurt me, are you?" Jaxon asked slowly.
"No, we want to help you." Bulma said. Jaxon just couldn't believe it; nobody ever helped them. They always tried to capture him, or kill him. Why were these people helping him? Everyone stared at Jaxon; he wasn't moving at all. He was just staring at the floor.
"Are you ok?" Chi Chi asked. Jaxon began to drool. Goten tapped on the boy's shoulder, but he didn't respond.
"…Is he ok?" Trunks asked.
"Jaxon?" Krillin asked.
"Yes…" Jaxon finally said; he didn't move a muscle.
"What's wrong, are you ok?" Yamcha asked.
"Fine." Jaxon said as he shook his head and relaxed.
"…What was that?" 18 asked.
"What was what?" Jaxon asked. The others just stared at him curiously. Trunks had a gut feeling that this was bigger than they thought, and that these guys were not telling them everything.
20 Years Ago
"…Let him in." Frieza sighed as he sat up in his chair.
"Frieza." Herelaah said as he entered the room. He had on robes with jewels attached, and he had on a crown, and his face was still not visible. He had more guards this time and a new man who he was wearing a blue military uniform.
"What is it Herelaah? I'm busy." Frieza growled.
"I am in need of some information. I understand you have three Saiyans on board, correct?" Herelaah asked. Frieza was one of the few people he talked to, besides his followers.
"Yes, do you wish to talk to Vegeta?" Frieza asked.
"No, the son of Bardock, Raditz." Herelaah said.
"…What reason could you ever have for wanting to talk to that third-class pathetic joke of a Warrior?" Frieza snarled.
"He's been keeping something from you." Herelaah said.
"…Bring me Raditz!" Frieza practically yelled. This is a shot in the dark, but I'm gona go with Raditz being twenty-one at the time. I don't know if that's true, I think it works, just roll with it. The Saiyan slowly entered the room and bowed to Lord Frieza
"Raditz, hello. Please, come closer, please." Herelaah smiled. Raditz looked at the other nervously and walked forwards. "Raditz, Son of Bardock. Prior to your father's death, he did a job for Frieza on a planet named Kanassa. Before you left for Frieza's ship, you saw your father one…last…time." Herelaah's eye twitched. Frieza was amazed at how he could know this.
"Y…y…yes, and?" Raditz asked nervously.
"The necklace; Give. It. To. Me." Herelaah growled.
"I…I don't know what y…"
"Heinrich, our friend obviously doesn't want to cooperate, perhaps you can change his mind." Herelaah snarled.
"Und now de fun begins." Heinrich smiled evilly as he launched at the teen and began to beat him into a bloody mess. Frieza wasn't sure how to react. After about a minute, Heinrich got up and Herelaah took a step forwards.
"It's a silver chain with a blue crystal hanging from it. It has a very unique symbol on it, where is it?" Herelaah asked once again.
"I…I d…don't know what you're t…talking about." Raditz coughed.
"Heinrich." Herelaah snarled; he hated asking more than once.
"…Lord Frieza, this has gone on long enough. This is our fighter, we're the boss, not him." Zarbon whispered.
"Herelaah, enough!" Frieza demanded. Zarbon was right; Raditz was his property, not theirs.
"Hn." Herelaah snapped his finger and Heinrich stopped. He walked over to the boy and knelt down in front of him, "For the third, and final time. Where is it?"
"Hn." Raditz slowly reached into his armor and pulled out the necklace around his neck. The only thing he had to remember his father.
"By the Gods, The Kanassan Necklace…" Herelaah smiled as he tore the necklace off and stood up, "The other Saiyans are to know nothing of our meeting. Lord Frieza, I thank you for your time." Herelaah said as he walked off.
"Wait, what was that necklace?" Frieza shouted.
"The next clue to finding my book. The Kanassans were a race of psychics, and this necklace contains something of great value to my quest." Herelaah called out.
"And what exactly is inside the necklace?" Frieza asked, but Herelaah didn't answer; he didn't have to. He was getting stronger and stronger and soon Frieza would be out of the picture, permanently (in about eight years). Right now he had to see a very short man who could unlock the secrets of this necklace.
Present Day
Ty couldn't get them out of his head; he hadn't thought of his parents this much in a long time. Heinrich was here, he had to explain things, and it was bringing all the painful memories back into his head. He and Jaxon don't even talk about their time as prisoners. They try to avoid the subject at all costs.
"Hey!" Gohan yelled.
"Yea, what's up?" Ty asked as he got back to what ever was happening at the current moment.
"…You ok? I called your name like ten times." Gohan said.
"Sorry…I…was…just…" Ty trailed off.
"…You sure you're ok?" Gohan asked as they landed.
"Yea, great." The boy sighed.
"Hn." Gohan didn't buy it. Something was really bothering the kid, but right now, they had bigger things to worry about.
"…So, why exactly are you wearing that again?" Ty asked as he stared at Gohan's outfit.
"Because I am…"
"Oh for love of." Vegeta mumbled to himself.
"Protector of innocence!" Gohan struck a pose, "Defender of all that is good!" Gohan struck another pose, "Guardian of the Satan City…Saiyaman!" Gohan said as he struck his final pose. Ty's sweat dropped.
"…What ever works for you…" Ty said as he walked over to Vegeta.
"Well, we can all agree that they've been here." Vegeta said as he looked at all the bloody bodies.
"So where's Heinrich?" Piccolo grunted
"Oh, he's here." Ty said as he looked around, "In about sixty seconds, they're going to ambush us, just you wait." Ty said as he held up his sword. He was all too familiar with this trap.
18 Years Ago
"You see why I brought this to you. I needed some powerful magic to decode it." Herelaah smirked as he glanced around the room.
"Yes, well…you can't get something for nothing, I'm afraid." Babidi smiled evilly.
"Hmm…" Herelaah was about to touch some kind of energy absorbing device when…
"Don't touch that!" Babidi snarled.
"My apologies " Herelaah turned and walked over to the wizard.
"Gr." Dabura got in a fighting stance.
"Name your price." Herelaah said.
"…I can't really say I need anything…" Babidi said with a lack of interest.
"Money?" Herelaah asked.
"Don't need it." Said Babidi, all he needed was his precious Majin Buu, if he could just get there, and find it.
"Anything, I can get you anything." Herelaah said.
"No, now get off my ship." Babidi snarled. This fool had wasted enough of his valuable time.
"The Supreme KAI is still alive." Herelaah growled.
"What?" Babidi asked in complete surprise.
"He's been tracking you. I can get him off your trail, but only if you help me." Herelaah said.
"…Give me the damn necklace." Babidi snarled as he held out his hand.
"Excellent." Herelaah had a sadistic evil smile under the cloth covering his mouth.
Back At Capsule Corp
Jaxon was lying on the couch as he stared up at the ceiling, "Hm?" Jaxon grunted as the book floated over him.
"…"
"Wait, you want wh…" Jaxon stopped talking and sat up. He blinked and for a brief moment, his eyes glowed light blue. He turned his head and stared at little Marron who was sipping a juice box.
"…Hi." Marron said.
"Hm." Jaxon gave a slightly evilly smile and slowly got off the couch, "…Hello my dear." Jaxon said in a woman's voice.
"…" Marron just stared.
"And what's your name?" Jaxon asked.
"…Marron." The little girl said.
"Marron, do you want to have some fun?" Jaxon asked.
"…" Marron shrugged her shoulders.
"Hm." Jaxon's hand shot out and he covered the girl's mouth. She began to panic and thrash around, but Jaxon didn't even flinch, "Little girl, look deep into my eyes, tell me what you see, I am your potential, I am all and everything you can be. Join your voice with mine and soon, victory everlasting." Jaxon said as he released the girl.
"…Pain…and…" Marron stared at Jaxon, "Suffering will consume all, the end of peace is near, it has been written and the rise of the Queen of Darkness shall come again…" Marron smiled evilly.
"Excellent." Jaxon and Marron said in unison, "Now all we need to do is…" Jaxon grabbed the girl's neck and kissed her on the lip, "Seal the deal." Marron's eyes began to glow bright blue. "And we'll tuck you away for a rainy day. Sweet dreams my dear innocent child, your moment will arrive soon enough, I can feel it." Said the two. Just then, Marron collapsed to the ground and Jaxon hopped onto the couch.
"Huh?" Marron got up and blinked several times, "Potty." Said the girl as she ran off.
"Hm?" Just then, Jaxon's head (without turning his body) snapped 180 degrees "Hello, Goten." Jaxon smiled evilly.
"Hah…" Goten took a step back. Just then, Jaxon fell limp on the couch and blacked out. His head moved back to normal. Goten ran over and shook the boy until he woke up.
"Wh…I'm awake. Are we under attack?" Jaxon asked as he sat up.
"Are you ok?" Goten asked, still rather confused as to what he just saw.
"…Yea, fine." Jaxon said, "What happened? Did I just hurt somebody?" Jaxon yelped as he stumbled to his feet.
"No, just, you were talking to yourself." Goten said nervously.
"…What did I say?" Jaxon asked.
"Uh, I couldn't hear so well." Goten said.
"Sup guys." Trunks said as he walked up to the two. He was holding a brown rectangle with a bite mark out of it.
"Hmm?" Jaxon stared at the rectangle and titled his head, "What's that?" Jaxon asked.
"…Chocolate." Trunks said.
"Chocolate!" Goten smiled as he jumped up, "Can I have a piece Trunks, oh please, please, please?" Goten begged, forgetting everything that he just saw Jaxon do.
"Hmm…" Trunks let out a sigh and broke a piece off. He turned to Jaxon and thought for a moment. Honestly, without Goten, he would be a complete jackass like his father, and while it may sound stupid, Goten is the person who's taught him to share, be nice, not insult a person for everything they do, and to just be a friendlier person. Trunks broke off a little bit bigger piece than Goten's and held it out, "Want some?" Trunks asked. Jaxon slowly reached his hand out and grabbed it. He sniffed it and stared at Goten; now if Goten was eating it, then that means it's not poisoned, right?
"Grah." Just then, Taz walked into the room and looked over at the three.
"Hm." Jaxon smiled, perfect timing, "Taz."
"Gruh." Taz walked over and sniffed the chocolate. He said nothing, no nod, no sign that it was or was not poisoned; he just sat down and looked at Jaxon.
"…Well?" Jaxon asked.
"…"
Jaxon looked at the book. He held up the piece of chocolate and took a very small bite. His eyes shot wide open and he stuffed the whole piece in his mouth.
"…Good?" Trunks asked.
"Very good, very, very good." Jaxon smiled. It was very rare that he ever got to have sweets, and this was one of the best things he's ever had, "Thank you." Jaxon smiled.
"No problem." Trunks said.
"Marron?" Krillin called out as he entered the room, "Have you guys seen Marron?"
"Potty." Jaxon said.
"…Oh Dende." Krillin gulped as he ran off. He could only pray that she made it.
With Ty
"Ha!" Ty yelled as he sliced the swordsman down the middle.
"Ha!" Piccolo used his sharp claws to cut the head off of one of the swordsman.
"You still think we're not strong enough?" Vegeta spat as he blasted several swordsmen at once. Ty launched at Vegeta and flew over his head. Vegeta turned to see a Royal Guard at the end of Ty's sword.
"Saved your life." Ty smirked as he got back to fighting.
"Show off, cocky, brat." Vegeta mumbled. Ty was basically Trunks without purple hair. As Ty continued to fight, he was beginning to wonder why Heinrich wasn't here. Usually he always stood on the sidelines and oversaw his troops as they TRIED to capture them.
Outside Capsule Corp
Click! Beep! Click! Click! Low Humming!
"Und now we begin." Heinrich growled as he held up his large gun. He slowly walked towards the front door and smiled evilly. You know the Nazi guy from the beginning of the first Indiana Jones? He looks similar to him. He has on tan overalls, a tan button up jacket, black leather gloves, and a tan hat; just think of him as a Nazi looking guy.
OK, HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER, KIND OF AN EVIL PLACE TO STOP, PLEASE REVIEW!
