Book Of Demons Part 1: Arrival On Earth

"Y…you destroy my home ." The boy choked, "Torture us until we beg ." Ty clenched his fists until they bled, "You lie to me, kill my father, kill my mother ." Ty was visibly shaking, "And now you've killed my friend…" Ty's KI started to rise, "You've ruined my life ." Ty slowly sat up and locked onto General Takeo . His eyes were glowing bright gold, "And now you're going to pay!"

With Ty

"Huh?" Ty slowly opened his eyes and felt the pain in his body. It felt like someone smashed him through several concrete walls. He couldn't move; he was chained up, and someone was dragging him, "J…Jaxon?" Ty coughed.

"Und you are so wrong." Spat a German voice.

"N…no, you can't!" Ty was overcome by fear. Bam! "Ak!" Ty was punched in the stomach repeatedly, then in the face, and then finally he was kicked in the groin.

"I don't need Jaxon or de Book of Kamell. Herelaah has un special price on you, Demon." Heinrich spat.

"He's still…going on…about the Demon thing?" Ty coughed.

"You made him very angry, and he wants to see it again." Heinrich smiled evilly.

"I…already told you…I don't know what it was…I don't even know how to do it." Ty spit out some blood.

"You've done it since then; multiple times. If you had not gotten off the ship the second time, Herelaah would have run his tests and then, well, I think you know what was next." Heinrich said.

"I can't do it on demand…I…I…" Ty began to cough again, "I don't know if I'll ever do it again." Ty lied; he knew it would happen again.

"We shall see." Heinrich laughed as they approached the ship.

"No, please, you can't." Ty begged.

"I can, und I will." Heinrich continued to laugh. He found it amusing when his 'catch' resorted to begging.

"Please! I can't go back! Please!" The boy choked as several tears ran down his cheek.

"Save it for Herelaah. He has plans for you, Demon!" Heinrich hissed. The sooner he got this Demon back to Herelaah, the better.

"Well it looks like Herelaah is going to be disappointed, isn't he?" Said a voice.

"What?" Heinrich spat as he turned, "AK!"

"I think it's time you leave." Vegeta snarled as he squeezed Heinrich's neck. Goku and Gohan ran over to help Ty. "Say 'hi' to Herelaah for me." Vegeta spat as he powered up to Super Saiyan.

"Ak?" Heinrich's eyes shot wide open.

"Ha!" Vegeta chucked Heinrich so hard that he was out of the Earth's atmosphere within a few seconds. He turned his attention to Ty who was shivering and looked terrified.

"Th…thank you, thank you, thank you." Ty said over and over quietly.

"I guess he was still alive." Vegeta said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Ty shook. The first time on the ship was the traumatic experience of his life; the second time was just as bad. He was terrified of what the third time would be like.

"How many Senzu beans do you have left?" Goku asked.

"…Three." Vegeta replied as he studied Ty's injuries.

"Thank you, thank you." Ty whispered.

"…I think we should save them and have Dende heal him." Gohan suggested.

"T…take me to my brother." Ty said quietly.

"But…"

"Now!" Ty spat as his eyes flickered gold; he had to make sure he was ok. Everyone grabbed onto Goku. He placed two fingers on his forehead and with that, they vanished.

Capsule Corporations

"You're alive!" Jaxon smiled as he tackled his brother. Goku and Gohan started to break off the chains as everyone gathered around the boy.

"What happened?" Bulma asked.

"Takeo was called in and he sent your city to hell, and then Herelaah landed and…" Ty was getting weird looks from everyone, "…That…was the dream, yes…" Ty said, "I took a nap outside, woke up, Heinrich knocked me out, I woke up, he said he was taking me back to the ship, now I'm here." Ty said as Gohan helped him up. The boy winced, but sucked up the pain. Like he always said, 'no pain, no gain.'

"We have someone who can heal you, so…" Vegeta was cut off.

"I'm fine." Ty grunted.

"Don't be stupid, boy, take the help." Vegeta growled; he ignored the 'look' Chi Chi was giving him.

"No pain, no gain." Ty growled. If it were Vegeta in the same position, he would refuse help too. "I should have kept my guard up; it was a stupid mistake and it won't happen again." Ty growled as he wiped the blood off his face.

"Dende can heal you within a minute, just…" Goku was cut off.

"I'm fine, see?" Ty winced as he took a few steps.

"If the Vashmallians attack, and you're hurt like that, how can you effectively defend your brother?" Vegeta asked.

"Fine." Ty said. That was a very good point.

"Great, I'll go up and get'em. I need to talk to Korin anyways about the next batch of Senzu Beans." Goku smiled.

"Find out what Piccolo's up to." Gohan said. Piccolo had left a while ago for some unknown reason.

"Right." Goku nodded as he placed two fingers on his forehead. With that, he vanished.

"…Lunch is ready." Chi Chi pointed out.

"Jaxon, let me have yours." Ty mumbled.

"But…"

"Jaxon." Ty growled. He didn't like to repeat himself with his little brother.

"…Fine." Jaxon took a gun out of his back pocket and handed it to Ty.

"Wh…how did you get that?" Vegeta asked.

"From the labs." Jaxon said.

"You better be carful with those things. I do not want another repeat of last night." Vegeta growled causing Jaxon to move behind Ty.

"...What happened last night?" Ty asked; Jaxon looked at the ground.

"…It was an accident." Goten said quietly.

"Well? Spit it out." Ty growled.

"Well…I…sort of…" Jaxon hesitated. There were times where Ty wouldn't care what he does, as long as he didn't get hurt in the process, and then there were times where Ty's 'anger' would take over and he'd lose it. Just as Jaxon was about to tell Ty what happened, Ty's eyes shot wide open and he pointed his gun at the front door.

"Who the frak is that?" Ty spat.

Knock! Knock!

"Grrr!" Ty charged up his gun and waited.

"Whoa, easy." Gohan said as he got in front of the gun, "It's just Videl. She's my friend."

"Don't you mean girlfriend?" Trunks and Goten both giggled uncontrollably. Ty didn't lower his gun.

"Trust me, she's not dangerous, except when she's mad." Gohan said as he slowly moved to the door. Ty imagined Gohan opening that door and seeing Herelaah with that frakking knife. He shut his eyes tightly and lowered the gun. He reopened his eyes after Gohan opened the door. "Hey Videl." Gohan smiled.

"Gohan, is everything ok? I sensed some weird stuff going on over here." Videl said (Gohan has been teaching her how to sense energy). Ty kept his guard up. He had a gut feeling that something bad was about to happen, and most of the time his gut was right.

"It's…been a crazy morning." Gohan said as he looked at Ty.

"…Oh, you're ok. My name's Videl." The girl smiled as she walked into the house. Ty was sure of it, he felt like he missed something.

"My name is Ty and…" Ty looked around and then looked down to see Jaxon hiding behind his leg, "This is my brother Jaxon." Ty said. Usually he got really nervous around pretty girls. Ty mentally hit himself for calling Videl pretty; she was Gohan's Girlfriend.

"Hm?" Jaxon looked at his book and then looked at Ty, "What do you sense?" Asked the boy quietly.

"I…I feel like we're forgetting something. We killed the scout team, the attack squadron, Heinrich. Who…did…we…" Ty's eyes widened, "The ship!"

"What about it?" Vegeta grunted.

"The crew for the ship; there's usually three of them. Didn't you guys check the ship before we came back here?" Ty asked.

"No, we wanted to get you healed and…" Gohan was cut off.

"I don't need to get healed, I just want to be at full strength if I need to kill something." Ty Stated.

"That's beside the point. What of these three crew members, where are they?" Vegeta growled.

"I don't know, around? I can't sense them." Ty concentrated as hard a he could.

"Well then let's hunt them down." Vegeta growled. Ty stared at him.

"If only it were that easy." The boy said quietly.

"I'm back!" Goku smiled as he appeared in the room with Dende.

"Huh?" It took Dende a few seconds to register that he had a gun pointed right between his eyes. Ty stared at the Guardian for no more than three seconds before he lowered the gun.

"I'm guessing he's the same species as the tall green one?" Ty asked.

"Yup." Gohan smiled, "He and Piccolo are Namekians; he can heal you. By the way, where is Piccolo?"

"He was busy meditating when I got there. He said he would come back to Capsule Corporations when he's done." Goku said. He pulled a small pouch out of his pocket, "Korin had five Senzu Beans. The next batch won't be ready for another five weeks." Goku said.

"Well it's better than nothing." Vegeta grunted. He had three, Kakarott had five, so together they had eight. That should be a good amount for the invasion, right? Jaxon curiously watched as Dende cautiously placed his hands on Ty and began the healing process.

'There is a talking cat named Korin.' Kamell said

"Huh?" Jaxon glanced at the book.

'He lives in a tower that sits directly under the Lookout. He is the one who grows the Senzu Beans and is the one Son Goku just talked to. This 'Korin' possess the ability to read one's mind.' Kamell said.

'I don't think Ty wants his mind read.' Morgana said.

"That's a pretty impressive power you have." Ty said as he began to stretch, "Thank you."

"Who else can read minds?" Jaxon mumbled.

"You're welcome." Dende smiled.

'Who else can read minds? Hmm, give me a minute.' Kamell said.

"Now how about some lunch? If we all keep standing around here, it's going to get cold." Chi Chi said.

'The Saiyans; Goku and Vegeta.' Kamell said, 'Avoid the KAIs.'

"It will have to wait. I'm not doing anything until we kill the three Vashmallians from Heinrich's ship." Ty said.

"Who?" Jaxon mumbled. Dende's ears twitched; he, like all Namekians, has super hearing.

'Jaxon.' Morgana said, 'Stop talking. The green one has advance hearing.' Jaxon showed no reaction.

'Just let us do the talking.' Kamell said, 'The KAIs. They aren't on Earth, so there's no need to worry, but I will warn you if they, or anyone else, tries anything funny.'

"Where would they be?" Goku asked.

"They're not leaving without me or my brother. They're probably watching us right now, waiting for us to let our guard down." Ty said.

"Why don't we go to the Lookout?" Gohan suggested.

"No." Goku growled. Everyone stared at him; "I'm not going to hide up there while the Vashmall goes on a killing spree."

"But it would be a lot safer." Krillin pointed out.

"When Babidi and Majin Buu went on their killing spree, we all just watched. I'm not doing that again." Goku growled.

"Kakarott, we can wish them back with the Dragon Balls." Vegeta growled.

"Grrr." Goku didn't look like he was going to change his mind, "Just because we can wish them back, doesn't mean I'm going to watch them all die."

"Just out of curiosity…" Ty cut into the argument, "How many wishes do you get with these things?"

"The ones on Namek, three." Gohan said. The teen thought for a minute, "But you and your brother still get your wish to get rid of that book, so that leaves us with two."

"Yes, we haven't forgotten about you two." Bulma said, "You guys get your wish, then we can repair all the damage done during the invasion, and then we can revive anyone who was killed."

"Hm." Ty smiled. Looks like they were getting their wish.

"The Namekian Dragon Balls will be ready about a month and a half, I'm sure Elder Moori will allow you to use them." Dende smiled. (Elder Moori is like the Kami of Namek, I think you understand.)

"I thought the Dragon Balls on Namek only took 130 days to recharge?" Bulma said.

"On the Old Planet Namek, but not the ones on the New Planet Namek." Dende said, "You see, King KAI was able to find us a planet that was almost exactly like the original Planet Namek, but with one major difference. A year on New Namek is 237 days, not 130." Dende stated.

"But the Namekian Dragon Balls followed you to your new planet. They wouldn't change, would they?" Yamcha asked.

"No, they wouldn't, but Elder Moori decided to make new Dragon Balls. You see, after the whole Frieza Crisis, Elder Moori created new Dragon Balls with no limit on the amount of people Porunga can revive during a wish." Dende said. Ty tired his best to follow along. In all honesty he thought most of this sounded like it was coming from some kind of cartoon or something.

"And so these New Dragon Balls take longer to recharge because the year is longer?" Krillin asked.

"Yes." Dende said.

"Hmm…" Bulma took out her phone and did some simple math, "That means, the Namekian Dragon Balls will be ready on…"

"December 31st, the Earth Dragon Balls will be ready on January 7th, but we can only make one wish with Earth Balls." Trunks smiled; super strong AND super smart.

"Nerd." Goten snickered. Smack! "Oww." Goten rubbed the tender spot on his head as he shot his friend a death stare.

"Going back to the Lookout though." 18 said, "How about this? Me, Krillin, and Yamcha can stay here for extra security, then we'll move up to the Lookout just before the invasion." Goku stared at her. He still didn't like the idea of leaving these people unprotected. "Listen, we can stay down here and defend against those smaller groups similar to the Swordsmen and the German Thing, but you need to know Goku that once the invasion begins, there will be casualties and you won't be able to save them all." The Android said.

"…Fine, I can agree to that." Goku sighed in defeat.

"Good idea, honey." Krillin smiled.

"Hn." 18 grunted.

"Is that ok with you?" Yamcha asked Bulma.

"Of course, I'll have the robots make up the other guest rooms." Bulma said.

"Someone has to stay up and keep guard." Ty said.

"I'll keep guard tonight." Gohan said.

"Then it's settled." Vegeta said.

"Huh?" Ty looked at the door and his ear twitched, "…There's no way my luck that bad." Ty gulped as he slowly walked towards the door.

"What is it?" Everyone asked. He opened the door and his eyes shot wide open.

"Oh hell no." Ty gulped as the ground began to shake.

"What are you…oh…" Goku said. It was big, and it was bad; it was a giant metal vehicle heading straight towards the house.

"What the hell is that?" Vegeta growled.

"A Vashmallian Tank; model 319, heavy armor, three main cannons." Ty said, "There are three crew members inside. Those must be the ones from the ship."

"Well? What does it want?" Bulma asked.

"My guess is to blow up your house, take me and my brother back to their ship, and then take us to hell." Ty said as he pulled out his gun.

"Let us handle this." Vegeta growled

"You still don't get it, do you?" Ty let out a small sigh as he walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Vegeta yelled

"To kill the crew of the tank." Ty said, "This shouldn't take very long." The Saiyans all jumped to Super Saiyan and moved out side. Jaxon had found a great hiding spot under a table.

"Trunks, go inside and watch the others." Vegeta said.

"But dad…"

"Grrr…" Vegeta slowly turned and stared at the boy.

"Right…" Trunks quickly said as he went into the house. He moved everyone away from the door.

"You too, Goten." Goku said.

"K dad." The boy smiled as he ran inside.

"You frakkers gona hide in the tank or come out and fight me?" Ty yelled, trying to sound as confident as possible. It's a rather hard thing to do when you have a large tank in front of you.

"He's crazy…he's…he's…" Vegeta watched as the tank's gun turned away from the house, "He's smart." Vegeta mumbled.

"Come on! I know Herelaah wants me. Now does he want me dead or alive?" Ty snarled. The tank just sat there, "Well?" The top of the tank opened up and two aliens wearing black and red armor crawled out. One of them had a 'Rat-Trap' gun like the one Heinrich had used before. The other one had a sword in each hand.

"Shouldn't we help him?" Gohan asked.

"No." Vegeta and Goku said. Gohan stared at them curiously.

"Look at'em." Goku said, "He knows what he's doing."

"Huh?" Gohan looked at his father.

"Just watch." Goku crossed his arms and had a small smirk on his face. It was obvious that the boy had to be a good fighter if he's survived three years of constant war.

"Near Dict tardock." One of the Vashmallians yelled in an alien language.

"Hn." Ty crossed his arms and waited. Heinrich tried to capture him, which means Herelaah still wants him alive. "Tell me, have you heard the stories of why he wants me?" Ty gave an evil smirk. The men just stared at him, "Did he tell you what I did?" Ty asked.

"Neck delon fiy, Demon!" One of the Vashmallians snarled as he aimed the gun at the boy and fired. Ty jumped out of the way and held up his gun. He shot the man three times into the head.

"Chwa shayblon!" The other alien spat with the swords as he launched at the boy. Ty began to dodge as he waited for an opening.

"…The kid's good." Goku said.

"Hn." Vegeta grunted.

"Grrr." Taz growled as he slowly walked out of the house.

"Hey Taz, kill'em." Ty pointed at the man with the swords.

"Rah!" Taz transformed into his lizard form and shot towards the Vashmallian fighter. Trunks and Goten, who had been watching through the window, looked away as the man was ripped apart by Taz's sharp teeth.

"And then there was one." Ty smiled evilly as he looked at the tank. The tank went in full reverse and began to retreat, "Oh no you don't!" Ty hissed as he shot in the air and landed on the tank. He tried to open the top, but he wasn't that strong. He glanced up to see Goku standing on the tank with him.

"You mind if I take this one?" Goku asked innocently; Ty took a step back. "Get off the tank." Goku said. Ty jumped off the tank and watched in shock as Goku grabbed the tank and lifted it up with one hand. With a casual throw, Goku tossed the tank out of the Earth's atmosphere. Ty's gun fell out of his hand as he stared at the sky. Goku landed next to him and smiled, "Whoops…guess I threw it a little too hard." The Saiyan laughed. Ty just stared at the sky. Maybe they really had a chance. Maybe his luck had finally changed and they could stop the Vashmall. Or maybe he would be captured and tortured until he begs, just like last time.

"…You ok?" Goku asked.

"…" That horrible ship, and…his parents. How could Herelaah lie to him like that? Because he's a dirty pile of shit, that's why!

"Ty?" Goku asked again.

"…" And his parents, why was he suddenly thinking about them? Why couldn't he get them out of his head? It was these people and their questions. He hadn't thought about his parents for a while, and he never talked about them until now; it was strange. He blinked several times and saw Goku waving his arm in front of him, "That was impressive." Ty said slowly.

"Oh, thanks." Goku smiled.

"Did you get them?" Chi Chi yelled from inside the house.

"All gone!" Goku replied.

"Good, now come and get some lunch!" Chi Chi yelled.

"Food!" Goku smiled as he ran inside. Ty looked back up at the sky…he…he missed his mom and dad. The more the thought about them, the more craved the only thing he knew to make him happy, the only thing to make him not care about his troubles; his 'stuff'. He shook the thoughts from his head and slowly walked towards the house. Goku took Dende back to the Lookout before having lunch. At the dining room table, Ty kept his eye on everyone. He was amazed at how much the Saiyans and Half-Saiyans could eat. It was almost making him sick. He watched as his little brother had Taz inspect his food and gave it the 'ok'. Ty was a little more discreet about his lack of trust. He took a small amount of food and held it under the table while Taz sniffed it over. After getting the 'ok', Ty found it safe, and since his brother's food was safe, he figured the same thing with his.

"Trunks, you need to put your sword back in your room." Bulma said as she walked into the room with Trunks's sword.

"K mom." Trunks said with a full mouth of food.

"…Where exactly did you get that sword?" Ty asked.

"This guy named Tapion gave it to me." Trunks said, "Right after we defeated Hirudegarn."

"Hmm…" Ty recognized that name; Hirudegarn. Trunks and Goten proceeded to tell the whole story from the timing of the evil wizard Hoi's arrival, all the way to when Tapion left in the time capsule. (Author's note, despite how the movie went, they DID NOT use the Dragon Balls to open the box containing Tapion. Hoi used the energy of the Saiyans to summon a spell powerful enough to open the box.)

"Who was he working for again?" Trunks asked, "The Krevan?"

"The Kashvar, similar to the Vashmall." Ty stated, "The Kashvar would seek out powerful monsters to help them rise to power in the Universe. They, however, wished to destroy any species except for their own. The Vashmall simply want to control the Universe and force all to follow their so called 'religion'." Ty snorted, "Hirudegarn, from what I've heard, was a powerful monster who could do just that. I had heard SOME rumors that the Vashmall were searching for some kind of music box that contained half of an ancient monster. It was probably Hirudegarn." Ty said. Everyone stared at him, "…You pick up a few things when you travel a lot." Everyone nodded.

"…If they hunt these 'monsters' and 'powers', have they found any?" Goku asked.

"Yes." Ty face changed, "They've found plenty, and they've been able to release a lot of them."

"…So we just can't blow up the ship, because we might release one of these 'powers', right?" Gohan asked.

"Hm." Smirked Ty. Gohan was a smart person, "Right, there's no telling what kind of things he has on the ship, and I don't think you want to risk letting them all out."

"So then how do we win?" Videl asked. Ty didn't have an answer for that.

"I…don't know." Ty said quietly. After lunch, Trunks and Bulma went back to fixing the Gravity Room. As much as Videl wanted to stay, she was needed in Satan City to stop some bank robbers. Gohan would have gone, but with these 'Vashmall' guys had already attacked a few times, and he felt it would be best if he stayed at Capsule Corp to help keep guard. Lucky for him it was a holiday break at school so he and Videl had the week off. Jaxon and Goten were playing in the large indoor Atrium while Ty sat against a tree and watched them. He wasn't going to let the boy out of his sight. Taz finally found his master and laid down next to him, "I see they got the smell out." Ty said.

"Rah." Taz barked.

"So what do you think? Should we trust them?" Ty asked his pet.

"Rah." Taz barked.

"I'm not paranoid!" Ty hissed, "It's just one of them threw a tank out of the planet's atmosphere, and when's the last time anyone decided to help us?"

"Rah." Taz barked.

"I know that you're just barking, but pretending that you're really talking to me helps me think." Ty said.

"Rah." Taz barked.

"I'm not crazy…I'm…not." Ty mumbled as his face reddened, "I'm not." The ball that Jaxon and Goten were playing with rolled over to the tree and touched Ty's leg. Ty stared at the ball and blinked several times.

'I'm coming for you Demon.' The ball laughed as it turned into Herelaah's head. Ty shook his head and the ball went back to normal. He picked up the ball and looked at Jaxon. He tossed him the ball and smiled as the boys went back to playing catch.

"Rah." Taz barked.

"Even if I wanted to leave, I don't think we could. We're low on fuel and I don't think this planet sells Rocket Fuel Grade Delta-20-C-X." Ty said.

"Kaaa meee haaa meee…" Goten said as he put his hands together. Ty looked up, "HAAA!" He watched as a gold beam of energy shot from Goten's hands. It traveled around the room before hitting the water and creating a large splash. Ty was far from pleased about being soaked by the large explosion of water, but he was more interested in what the hell Goten just did. He got up and walked over to the boys, "Ah ha haa…whoops, sorry." The boy smiled as he rubbed the back of his head.

"…What exactly was that?" Ty asked.

"The kamehameha." Goten said.

"…The…kameWHAT?" Ty asked.

"Kamehameha." Goten repeated.

"…You're making that up." Ty said. What kind of word was Kamehameha

"Nope." Goten smiled and shook his head, "Here, I'll show you." Goten got in position and put his hands together, "Kaaa meee haaa meee…" Ty watched as a bright ball of energy formed in the boy's hands, "HAAAAAAA!" A beam of energy shot out from the ball and traveled around the room.

"…And what is this called? The caliente-me-hlah?" Ty asked.

"…How did you get that from kamehameha?" Goten asked.

"Shut up, I foreign." Ty mumbled, "Cal-say-ha-pay-ha."

"Kamehameha." Goten said.

"Ka-day-ha-tay-ha." Ty was trying his best.

"…Kamehameha." Goten repeated.

"…Kameha…meha?" Ty finally got it.

"…Wave." Goten said.

"…I beg your pardon?" Ty asked.

"Wave. Kamehameha wave." Goten said.

"Did you just add that?" Ty growled

"No…it's always been the Kamehameha Wave." Goten said.

"Kamehameha wave." Ty slowly said.

"…Kaaa meee haaa meee HAAA!" Goten yelled as he fired a third kamehameha wave.

"…I'm going back to my tree." The boy grunted as he walked off. The afternoon went by relatively uneventful. Ty had kept Jaxon in his sight at all times. Trunks and Bulma had finished fixing the Gravity Room, and Trunks had joined Goten and Jaxon. From what Ty observed, Trunks was a bossy, arrogant, little smart-ass. He was a brat, and Ty had little liking for the half-Saiyan prince. Jaxon didn't seem to have a problem with it; I mean, he was hardly a leader. The boy did as he was told without questions or else he would get his ass beat, simple as that. Ty didn't usually punish Jaxon; hell, he usually didn't have a reason to, but there were some days where Jaxon just pushed him to hard and he would have to be the father that he didn't want to be. He would have to be the authority that kept his brother in line and kept them alive. His brother still loved him though, and he loved Jaxon. He loved him more than anything in the Universe. About two hours later, Chi Chi called everyone for dinner, and it was another uneventful meal. Jaxon still had Taz check his food before eating it. Ty did the same thing, except he didn't let anyone see him. It was so weird being around other people and not having them try to kill him. He listened to them talk about fighting, eating, and pointless things that didn't deserve any attention.

Jaxon pretended to listen to all of the 'oh so exciting' conversations about Gods' know what, but his attention was really on his book who was telling him loads of information about these 'Z Warriors'. Who knows? Maybe they did have a shot at beating the Vashmall. He was learning about all these powerful bad guys they had beat, and maybe it would be enough? After dinner, Trunks and Vegeta went to the gravity room to go spar, Goku and Goten decided to do a little sparring outside. Truthfully, after the whole Buu Fiasco, Trunks and Goten had taken full advantage of the six months of peace and had been 'lazy' with their training. Goku and Gohan couldn't really say they hadn't been lazy either. Goku was spending as much time as he could with Goten, Gohan, and Chi Chi, especially Goten. On the day he got to come back to Earth for a day, Baba decided to wait until the last minute to tell him he had a second son…as in, right as they left Other World. He didn't even know the boy's name when he got there, he felt terrible. Goten seemed to like him though, and everything was going perfect.

Gohan, however, knew Goten wasn't simply 'ok' with his father just popping in after seven years. Sure, the boy loved his father and to him, he was his hero (next to Gohan, of course). But Gohan knew that when Goku said 'I think there's a little me hiding behind you', Goten was a little hurt that his own father didn't even know his own name.

"Are you sure you should be telling me all this stuff?" Jaxon whispered as he got up from the kitchen table.

"…" The book was telling him everything.

"I…guess." The boy mumbled.

"Mrs. Son, do you want any help cleaning up?" Ty asked.

"Huh?" Chi Chi looked at him in shock. When have any of the fighters asked her if she wanted 'help' with something? "Uh…uh…" Chi Chi really didn't know what to say, "O…k…sure, thank you." The woman said. Ty began to clean off the table, and Chi Chi just stared at him with her jaw dropped.

"The food was really good." Ty smiled, "It's some of the best I've eaten in a long time, thank you."

"You're welcome." The woman said.

"Hmm?" Ty felt someone tug on his pants; he looked down to see Jaxon.

"Can I go and play with Taz?" The younger boy smiled.

"…I don't really want you going off alone." Ty said slowly.

"I won't leave the house, and I'll have Taz with me." Jaxon assured. Ty thought for a good minute and then reached into his pocket and pulled out his gun. He handed it to the boy.

"Show no mercy, and make sure you aim." Ty said.

"K." Jaxon chirped as he hugged his big brother's leg and ran off with Taz.

"…Are you sure it's safe for him to have a gun?" Chi Chi asked.

"What could possibly happen?" Ty asked.

"What if he accidentally shoots himself?" The woman asked.

"Why would he be aiming the gun at himself?" Ty asked.

"Hmm, good point." Chi Chi shrugged her shoulders and went back to washing the dishes.

With Jaxon

"Come on, let's go." Jaxon smiled as he hopped onto Taz's back. The boy rode his pet/friend around the Atrium. He was beginning to relax and for the first time in a very long time he was able to be a kid. Training eventually concluded for Trunks and Goten and they rejoined Jaxon to continue playing. They eventually got into a game of tag in which Jaxon was 'it', and he wasn't nearly as fast as two hyperactive, half-saiyan, boys. At first it was just a game, but now it was something Jaxon HAD to do, he HAD to catch one of these boys; it was his mission.

'This is pathetic.' Morgana said.

'Perhaps the boy needs a little boost.' Kamell laughed evilly. Jaxon's eyes flickered red and he locked onto Trunks and Goten.

"Giving up?" Trunks let out a small laugh as he crossed his arms.

"Nope, not yet Earth Child." Jaxon smiled evilly, his voice sounding a lot deeper.

"Hn?" Trunks grunted; he noticed a change in the boy's KI. Jaxon slowly walked towards Trunks, but then started speed walking, then jogging, then running, then sprinting. Trunks took off into the air, but Jaxon followed with impressive speeds, "What the hell?" Trunks yelped as he powered up to Super Saiyan.

"What's wrong Earth Child? Getting tired?" Jaxon laughed, his eyes glowing red.

"…You cheater! He's controlling you, isn't he?" Trunks growled.

"Hn?" Jaxon was relatively surprised, "You're smart…for a monkey."

"What did you call me?" Trunks spat.

"A monkey. That is what Saiyans are, right? Monkeys?" Jaxon laughed, his voice still deep.

"What the frak?" Ty growled as he ran into the atrium, "That stupid book."

"Hey, you guys know I'm still playing too, right?" Goten whined as he watched the two boys fly around the room.

"Call me a monkey one more time and I'll kick your ass." Trunks snarled. 'Monkey' to Saiyans was like the 'N' word.

"This coming from the boy who's running from me?" Jaxon laughed manically as he continued his chase.

"Grrr!" Trunks was being out taunted, something he hated to be out done in.

"Enough!" Ty hissed. Jaxon fell out of the sky and landed right into Ty's arms. The boy blinked several times and looked up at his brother.

"Did I win?" Jaxon asked innocently.

"What the frak were you even playing?" Ty growled as he gently set the boy down.

"Tag." The three boys said in unison.

"Hn." Ty walked off mumbling to himself; his eyes flickered gold several times. All this crap was giving him a headache. He walked down a hall and stopped in front of a picture; it was a picture of Trunks and Vegeta training. Actually it was the only picture of Trunks and Vegeta training since Vegeta never let anyone take pictures of him when he trained. Just then, Vegeta and Trunks turned into Takeo and Herelaah and they began to laugh, "GRRR!" Ty punched the picture and stomped off. He found one of his guns sitting on a table in the kitchen and placed it in his back pocket. Ty rubbed his head as his headache worsened and decided to take a quick nap. The boy searched out one of the guest rooms on the ground floor where it would be easy for him to sense any hostile KIs entering the house. He jumped on the bed and put one hand behind his head as he looked up at the ceiling…he held his gun in his other hand, "What the frak am I doing?" Ty mumbled to himself. Why should he trust these 'humans'? He slowly put the gun against his head and let out a long sigh. He held it there for about a minute, "No…cause then Jaxon'll be all alone." Ty mumbled as he moved the gun away and closed his eyes.

Three Hours Later

Ty opened his eyes and glanced around the room. He got out of bed and walked around the room. He closed his eyes and searched out any Vashmallian KIs; nothing. Nothing hostile, no high except for the ones who have been here since he arrived, everything was clear. Gohan was going to keep guard and the house was filled with fighters…who he wasn't sure he could trust. He sat down on the bed and concentrated on Jaxon's KI…the boy was sound asleep with the two half-Saiyans, Trunks and Goten. He didn't feel comfortable letting him sleep with strangers, but something in his head was telling him that it was ok. He slowly crawled into bed and put his plasma gun on the nightstand. He had trained himself to be a light sleeper, so if anything got near the house, he would wake up. He lay there, awake, for about an hour; keeping his mind focused on every KI in the house. Maybe, just maybe, he could trust them. They promised him a wish with the Dragon Balls…unless they were lying. Maybe he should check on Jaxon. Ty sat up, "Yea, I'll just check on him, just to make sure he's ok." Ty said as he got out of the bed, then he would go back to sleep.

Upstairs

Ty slowly opened the door to Trunks's room and walked inside. The three boys were passed out, safe and sound. Ty smiled and glanced around the room; he frowned. Trunks had more toys than he could possibly need, he had a TV, electronics everywhere; lucky bastard. He shook the thoughts of jealousy and his home planet from his head and looked at his brother. He quietly tucked the boy in and walked out of the room. His brother was safe, he was tired; he was going to risk it and try and get some more sleep. He went back down to his room and crawled into bed. He fell asleep within a few seconds.

A Few Hours Later

"Hm hm hmm." Takeo walked over to Ty's mother and held up a large ax.

"No ho ho!" Ty sobbed uncontrollably, "You frakking liar! You said you wouldn't do it! You stupid frakking son of a rat!" Ty screamed as he looked at Herelaah.

"Forgive me, I lied." Herelaah studied the key in his hand; that was almost too close. His mother looked over at her husband's body and felt tears roll down her cheeks.

"Tyrannous, you watch over your brother. You take care of him." The boy's mother cried.

"Mama please don't leave me please." Ty sobbed. He couldn't do this by himself, he just couldn't.

"Promise me you'll take care of each other." The bloody and beaten woman sniffed.

"I…I…I promise." Ty sobbed; his eyes started to flicker gold.

"I loveAK!"

"Gah!" Ty screamed as he shot up. He was in his bed, still on Earth. His heart was pounding out of his chest, he was soaked in a cold sweat, his entire body was shaking, and for some odd reason his pants and bed were wet. Ty blushed and rolled out of the bed. He stumbled to his feet and grabbed his gun off the nightstand. "Son of a rat." Ty mumbled as he wiped his tears, "…Water." Ty shook as he stumbled out of the room.

In The Kitchen

Ty leaned on the counter for support as he turned on the water. He watched the glass rapidly shake in his hand…once it was filled he chugged it a fast a he could. Water dripped off his chin as he tried to block out the images from the dream. He put the glass back under the water.

"Thirsty?" Said a voice.

Crack! Gohan watched as the boy crushed the glass in his hand.

"I…I'm s…sorry." Ty said as he held his hand over his chest. The boy looked like a wreck and he was visibly shaking.

"Are you ok?" Gohan asked as he walked over to the boy.

"Fine…yes…yea…fine." Ty tried to regain his composure. Gohan noticed the boy's wet pants, and his shirt and face were soaked in sweat.

"Bad dream?" The teen asked; Ty hesitated, but nodded slowly. "Come on." Gohan said as he placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. The two walked into the living room where Gohan had the TV on. The volume was quiet as to not disturb anyone. Ty sat down on the couch and Gohan left and brought back a large plastic cup filled with water. He handed it to the boy and Ty chugged it down. Gohan sat down next to him and watched the TV.

"…Tell me the truth." Ty's voice was shaky. "Why are you helping us?"

"Hn." Gohan turned and smiled, "It's just the way we are. We've always helped people. We helped the Namekians when Frieza was attacking their planet, we helped the Supreme KAI with Babidi and Majin Buu, and we helped Tapion defeat Hirudegarn. It's just the was we are." Gohan said, "I guess not many people have wanted to help you cause they were afraid of what would happen."

"I still find it hard to believe that you had never heard of the Vashmall and Herelaah. Every planet I have been to, they know of his evil." Ty said quietly, "They fear him, and they know of his power and resources."

"Hn." Gohan grunted

"And then…when we escaped. He…he spread the news that me and my brother were…well…" Ty took a deep breath, "Herelaah told everyone that we were a plague that should be avoided. Anyone who helped the Rats Tyrannous and Jaxon would be executed. Capture of these two would bring a big reward." Ty said, "Some people didn't want that though. They wanted us to die. They thought that killing us would save billions of lives and prevent the opening of the book. He created so many stupid lies, that we became some of the most hated people in the Universe; just because of that stupid book." The boy quietly said.

"People on this planet have hardly ever been into space. They all freak out whenever they see Piccolo. They've never heard of the Vashmall or Herelaah or the Book of Kamell or any of that, and we're gona put an end to this and stop them once and for all." Gohan smiled

"Hn." Ty grunted; there was a long silence.

"Is that your name? Tyrannous?" Gohan asked. (As in Ty-ran-nus…sounds like Tyrannosaurus Rex)

"Yes, but I go by Ty." The boy grunted as he started to drift off. About a minute later, Ty was sound asleep. Gohan stared at the boy and frowned. The poor kid was on having to play father and big brother for Jaxon. He knew what that was like, and it wasn't easy. To Goten, Gohan was more than just his big brother. He was his teacher, his protector, and his father. Gohan taught Goten how to fly, how to use his KI, and most of his fighting skills. There were also those stressful times when Gohan would have to discipline the boy, because let's face it, Chi Chi can't always handle a half-Saiyan child. Ty shifted his body and was now leaning on Gohan's shoulder. Gohan smiled to himself; all the kid needs is a little help…he came to the right planet.
