Chapter 4/5: Revelation
Gohan and Diego flying over West City "Wow," said Diego in awe "This city is even more beautiful seeing it with my own two eyes" concluded Diego "C'mon, lets go to Bulma's house. We are close." said Gohan as they flew a little more to the north and the big , yellow, dome like building and had Diego on even more of an awe "This is even more beautiful than I thought" he remarked looking at the dome like building.
They landed near the entrance making sure nobody saw them. They rang the bell and a minute later, Trunks opened the door "Gohan!" shouted Trunks excitedly "How are you?... And who is the guy with you?" asked Trunks curiously looking at Diego behind Gohan "Sup' kiddo? The name is Diego, nice to meet you!" greeted Diego waving at him "Hey Trunks, I was wondering if your Mom was in the house, I wanted to ask her for favor." asked Gohan to the younger Saiyan
"Yeah, mom is in her lab like always. I will get it for you." said Trunks leaving both Gohan and Diego at the entrance while he went to gets his mother.
"Hello there Gohan," said Bulma as she walked to the living room greeting Gohan but saw that there was someone else with him "And company?" added the green haired scientist "Hi, I'm Bulma Briefs head of Capsule Corporations. Pleasure to meet you" said Bulma as she introduced herself "I shouldn't give myself away just yet." thought Diego "I have heard so much of you Bulma. My name is Diego and it's an honor to meet you!" said Diego as he bowed
"C'mon, there is no need for that. Any friends of Gohan is my friend." said Bulma "I appreciate that." responded Diego "So, Trunks told me that you needed a favor to ask. What can I help you with?" asked Bulma now looking at Gohan "Oh yeah, so, ever since I went to Satan City to enroll me and Diego to school there was either a robbery or someone getting their purse stolen and both times I had to transform into a Super Saiyan so no one could recognize me once I started to go to school. So, we wanted to ask you if you could make something that would give me and Diego a costume." stated Gohan
"You are just like your father, always helping people. You remind me so much of him." said Bulma remembering those days from when she first met Goku "Alright, I will see what I can do. Give me at least 40 minutes. In the meantime, you can play with Trunks?" said Bulma as she went back into her lab to work on the devices that Gohan has requested.
Trunks then came up to the two half-Saiyans "Hey, how about we play on my room while you wait for my mom!" requested Trunks "I don't see why not." shrugged Gohan "Actually, I wanted to speak to your dad Trunks. Do you know where can he be?" asked Diego wanting to talk to Vegeta who might know about his Saiyan background "He is always in the Gravity Room training every day. I'm pretty sure he is there." said Trunk crossing his arms "Can you take me there?" requested Diego "Yeah, sure. Follow me." said little Trunks as he started walking with his hands behind his head.
They kept walking down the hall; Trunks on front followed by Gohan and Diego. Gohan softly elbowed Diego on the arm trying to get his attention; Diego looked at him "What's up?" asked Diego curious to what Gohan wanted "Why do you want to talk to Vegeta?" asked Gohan in a hushed tone "I want to ask him to see of he knows of any Saiyan that might have accidentally ended up in a failed test of something because to be honest if in my world Saiyans existed, trust me, I would know. So there has to be something to that you know?" responded Diego shrugging "I doubt Vegeta would know, but it doesn't hurt to ask." stated Gohan in a matter of fact tone.
They finally came across a big metal door with 'Gravity Room' written or rather printed on the door "Here we are. My dad is inside" said Trunks pointing at the massive metallic door when it started to open releasing some steam and a figure was in the steam; a figure everybody knew "Talking of the devil" thought Diego as Vegeta walked out of the curtain of steam and he first looked at Gohan "Good afternoon Vegeta. Sorry for the intrusion." greeted Gohan "Yeah." in a bored manner Vegeta responded.
Vegeta looked at Gohan for a few seconds "Gohan, you have gotten soft. Doesn't matter how peaceful this days have been, don't lack on your training." said Vegeta like a coach that doesn't want their players to lack off "Right." responded Gohan in a kinda confused voice. His eyes then drifted to Diego, who was behind Gohan. He eyed him carefully, like he was kind of scanning him "Vegeta sure is intimidating" thought Diego as a couple of sweat drops on his forehead "And who are you supposed to be?" said Vegeta in a very serious tone "M-my name is Diego. Pleased to meet you Vegeta." said Diego nervously "I don't like weaklings." responded Vegeta as he was walking away
"I will like to ask you something." ask Diego "What can I possibly talk with you about?" responded Vegeta looking through the corner of his eyes. Diego looked back at Gohan and he already knew that he wanted to speak to Vegeta alone "Hey Trunks, what do you say if we go to play somewhere?" asked Gohan as he took Trunks away from the Saiyan Prince and the half-Saiyan "It's a important matter really, and you might have answers I seek." responded Diego now alone with the Prince "I'm not interested." simply said Vegeta as he was walking away with his arms crossed over his chest.
"C'mon Vegeta, I already know that you sensed my Ki and it's that of a Saiyan." said Diego in a matter of fact tone. Vegeta turned around and looked at him dead in the eye "It's impossible. Me, my son, Kakarot and Kakarot's brats are the only Saiyans alive. There is no way another Saiyan escaped our Planet's destruction." said Vegeta "Other than Nappa, Raditz, Paragas, Broly and Turles; yeah, you are the only ones alive now." said Diego sarcastically "Brat, how do you know about them?" spatted Vegeta "There is a lot of things I know and you don't." responded Diego "You have five seconds to rephrase that." Vegeta threaten Diego "What I meant to say is that either of my parents is a Saiyan but I don't know which one and wanted to see if you know anything about a Saiyan accidentally being sent to another dimension." said Diego nervously
Vegeta looked at him "There is one that I know of. His name was Hakusa. Before Frieza destroyed our planet, our top scientists were working on a way to travel faster than light to make our trips faster and more effective. One day, Hakusa volunteered to try out the prototype. Me and my Father were present at the test area. According to our scientists, everything was going as they expected when all of the sudden the system of the ship started failing. Our technology at the time wasn't as capable to withstand such tasks and Hakusa was trapped in what we thought was an explosion but there was no trace of debris from the ship. The scientists quickly ran some tests around the area and found out that the prototype cause a disruption on the universe and created a portal which sucked in the ship a long with its pilot. After that, the project was dropped until our technology was advanced enough. A couple of days later Frieza decided to destroy Vegeta-jin with all its inhabitants." remembering that damned tyrant's face with much hatred.
"Well, that will explain some things. I suspect that Saiyan is my father and ended up in my dimension." said Diego grabbing his chin in a thoughtful manner "I wonder why he never mentioned that before" he then thought "What? Are you telling me that Hakusa is your father? How the hell did you ended up in this dimension?!" asked Vegeta in disbelief "Actually, I don't have the answer to that question myself to be honest. I'm still trying to figure it out. Thanks to you, I know the answer to many of my questions." thanked Diego "Hmph. Still, Hakusa was an Elite warrior and if you are his son, you are a disappointment. Your power-level is as low as Kakarot's second brat." said Vegeta as he walked away "Geez thanks, your highness." said Diego in a sarcastic tone "Better watch your mouth, boy." threaten Vegeta as he looked back and walked down the hall and entered another room. "Rude ass" thought Diego.
Diego walked into the living room where Gohan was sitting on one of the couches the living room had playing with Trunks "Having fun?" said Diego as he entered the living room "Welcome back Diego. So, how did it go with Vegeta?" asked Gohan as Diego sat down next to him on the couch "Relatively easy if you ask me." responded Diego just as Bulma entered the room holding two watches handing them to Gohan and Diego "Here you go. Put them on and give'em a shot." said Bulma as she stood besides Trunks "A watch? And what does it do?" asked Gohan as he clipped on the watch on his left wrist "Just press the red button on the side" responded Diego "How did you know?" asked Bulma curiously "Oh..I just assumed haha." said Diego nervously "That was a close one" Diego thought
Gohan went ahead and pressed the red button that was on the side and a light flickered around him for a second and a costume appeared on Gohan. The costume consisted of a green tunic like top under a black jumpsuit with boots and gloves similar to the ones that Vegeta wore, a red cape that went all the way down to his ankles and a ant like helmet on red coloring with a black glass like material on top and covering Gohan's face almost entirely and leaving the mouth uncovered.
He looked at himself on the mirror "Oh man! This costume looks freaking awesome "Oh Kami, that costume looks more hideous than I thought." thought Diego as a sweat dropped on the side of his forehead "Diego, now you give it try." suggested Bulma "No offense, but I hope it isn't as bad looking at that one." said Diego as he pressed the button and a light flickered around him just like it did to Gohan but Diego's costume was different, it consisted of a Saiyan armor identical to the one that Bardock wore but instead of green it was yellow over a black compression shirt, black gi like pants, gloves and boots similar to the ones Vegeta wore and a ninja like mask that only showed his eyes "Now this is a costume! I love the Saiyan armor, boots and gloves detail! They add more character.' said Diego looking down at his costume.
"It looks good, but not as awesome as mine." said Gohan in a cocky way "Whatever you say wonderboy" responded Diego "We appreciate you taking time to do this for us Bulma" said Diego while Gohan kept admiring his horrendous costume while Trunks looked at him in a embarrassed way "It wasn't anything really. Don't worry about it!" said Bulma as she winked at him; Diego scratched the side of his head while he nervously laughed "Ready to go wonderboy?" Diego asked Gohan as he unglued himself from the mirror "Yes, and stop calling me wonderboy. The name doesn't fit." responded Gohan
Bulma, Trunks, Diego and Gohan where outside and where ready to leave "Thanks again Bulma for your time. And again, it was an honor to meet you." said Diego thanking her yet again "Don't worry about it Diego. Anything to help." responded Bulma as Diego started to levitate ready to leave "C'mon Gohan, your mom most be wondering where we at." stated Diego already knowing Chi-chi's temperament "Yeah, lets get going. I don't want mom to get mad at me." said Gohan as he flew next to Diego "See you next time!" waved Gohan "Visit us again soon! Bye-bye!" said Trunks waving back.
"Since we are already in costume, lets go full speed from the start shall we?" suggested Gohan "You don't even have to ask twice." responded Diego as they both flared their auras and blasted in the direction of Mt. Paoz. Diego had the upper hand for a short term before Gohan decided to put more power and flew past Diego in a blink of an eye "Why so behind?" teased Gohan "Challenge Accepted!" shouted Diego as he also put more power to gain more speed but was only able to be head-to-head with Gohan.
They were flying high above a city when the sounds of a raging engine driving recklessly putting the life of many people in danger "We got a reckless driver down there!" pointed Diego down to the city "Lets go!" said Gohan as they both descended and landed right in front of the sporty yellow vehicle that came at a full stop when two figures appeared out of nowhere "Hey ya two! How about ya move ya sorry assess out of our way!" demanded the driver "We will but once you start driving slower and more careful. You were putting other people's life in risk." responded Diego.
Both the driver and passenger got off the car and walked up to them looking at them from head to toe "And who is going to stop us? Ya two? And who are ya two supposed to be?" said the driver in a mocking tone "Hmmm... that's right, I haven't come up with a name yet.." was thinking Gohan when Diego responded "We are the dynamic duo of justice! We are Shadow and The Great Saiyaman!" said Diego holding his hand open in front of him "Oh God I can't believe I actually just did that" said Diego to himself in his thoughts "Yes! I am The Great Saiyaman!" said Gohan doing some very ridiculous poses very very similar to the ones the Ginyu Force use to do. A sweat dropped on Diego forehead "I can't believe he actually did it." thought Diego wanting to face-palm but stayed in character.
The driver and his friend look at each other and the broke down in laughter almost pissing themselves "Shadow and The Great Saiyaman? Hahaha! Those are the most ridiculous names I ever heard!" said the driver in between laughs. Gohan got irritated at that retort "They. Are. Not. RIDICULOUS!" yelled Gohan as he stomped on the ground cracking the pavement, that shut both the driver and his friend's mouth and starred in awe at the cracked pavement that was made with what it looked a simple stomp and then he stomped once again but this time the pavement cracked open trapping the car in it.
The reckless driver and his companion couldn't believe what they saw "M-Mr. Saiyaman and Mr. Shadow, w-we apologize for laughing at your names, they really are great names!"
"Idiots." thought Diego
Gohan simply smiled at hearing to what just the driver said. He then walked up to the car, lifting it from the crack on the street "T-thank you again! I promise that we will drive more carefully now!" they said as they got in the car and started to drive off at the speed limit.
"Well that was a waste of time" said Diego crossing his arms over his chest with his eyes closed "Aw c'mon dude, they could of harm someone if they kept driving like that!" responded Gohan "Whatever. We should get going, it's getting pretty late and who knows what your mom will say for being late. Much less for that outfit. Lets go" they both left the city and went straight to the Son's house hold and when they got there, someone wasn't happy at all.
"Where were you guys at? Why are you guys so late? And Gohan, why are you wearing that ridiculous outfit?!" Chi-chi was furious.
"I told you that outfit was ridiculous." Diego whispered
"Shut up! I like it!"
"At least lose the cape. Trust me on that one."
"So?! Are you going to answer me?!" said Chi-chi getting irritated "We are sorry we are late Chi-chi. School day was long and we came across some bandits doing bank robbery early in the morning before school started so me and Gohan took care of them. After that, me and Gohan decided that since we will be at the city on a regular basis and how crime rates are up the roof, we can help the local forces and we will do that on our FREE time so it doesn't interrupt none of our school time. I promise." Diego picked his words carefully and make sure not to enrage Chi-chi any further and thanks to him already knowing Chi-chi's rage.
Chi-chi straighten herself "Okay, as long it doesn't interfere with your school I'm fine with it. Just don't slack you two!" said Chi-chi walking back to the kitchen ready to serve dinner for the two of them. They went into the living room and stood there on how smooth that went "You really knew what to say there Diego, couldn't say it myself any better." praised Gohan "I just know what she really wants to hear. Watching your world as a show helped too."
Gohan still didn't like the idea of his world and life being a mere show for other people "You know, I'm still weird out about how in your world our life is just a show for entertainment for people when for us are a real deal and our universe constantly is in danger." said Gohan in a sad tone "Look Gohan, there is nothing either you or me can do about it. I was a viewer too but for me and many people too, this show meant and still mean a lot to us. You all are parts of our life and will ever be even though in my world, you guys are only fictional characters but that doesn't matter to us. And now, me, living here has really showed me the real beauty of this world." said Diego in a thoughtful little speech.
"Well I'm glad we are part of many people's life." responded Gohan to what Diego just said "Now let's get out of this costumes, they are starting to get itchy." said Diego as he pressed the button on the side of his new watch and they both where back in there original clothes "Ahhh this feels better." Diego sat down on of the couches and rested his head on the back of the couch looking up at the ceiling as he drifted into his thoughts "It's been more than a year since I been here and I can't help but wonder what my family are doing now. Especially mom, she most be devastated. I need to find a way to at least communicate with them. I should ask Bulma if she can but I need to wait first until I reveal everything to everyone. And now that I think about it, I should give them a heads up about Babidi and Buu's appearance before shit goes south. I will try and search for it starting tomorrow." thought Diego.
Diego and Gohan were already up and getting ready for their second day of school, but Diego had other plans. They both walked outside and were ready to leave "Ready to go Diego?" asked Gohan as he got into his Great Saiyaman costume "Well, at least you got rid of the cape. But no, I have other things to take care of first. I will catch with you at school." responded Diego "Well okay, I guess. See you at school." said Gohan as he took off. Diego then flew in a different direction to the West "I know that where Babidi has his ship buried is somewhere in the west near Baba's place." he took out his phone and went into his folder where he had a lot of information regarding the Dragon Ball world "Good thing I had all this on my phone before coming here." thought Diego
He looked for the map where many events were pin pointed on it from when Pilaf was relevant to the burial place of Babidi's ship "Ok, it says here that it should be north from Baba's Palace which is west from Goku's house. Here I go." Diego said as he flared up his aura and flew off in hopes to find Babidi's ship.
It took him just a few minutes flying at full speed until he came to the location where the ship is supposed to be hiding underground "Okay, it should be around here..." he said as he looked around while in the air and saw the plateau where Goku and the rest hid after following Spopovich and finding Babidi's ship. He landed in the same plateau in hopes to see if he could locate the ship from there but couldn't see a thing besides a farm "Seems that he isn't here yet, the farm is still intact. I guess I will have to come and check every-now-and-then to make sure when he appears so we can get ready with time."
He kept surveying the area every morning for almost a month and whenever he wasn't, he kept his senses concentrated on the area. One day, during class, he felt something odd, a different sensation on the back of his mind different to how Ki feels and it was coming from where Babidi's ship is supposed to appear some time "I have a bad feeling about this." he thought. He got up from his seat disturbing Gohan a little "Excuse me professor, may I please use the bathroom?" he said in the middle of the lesson "You may, but next time don't interrupt me during my lesson okay?!" responded the professor "I promise it won't happen again" he said as he ran out of the classroom while Gohan kept looking at him as he exited the classroom "I wonder what got to him now." wondered Gohan.
Diego ran up the stairs that lead to the roof top, once arriving and making sure no one was there, he saw the coast clear and quickly took off flaring his aura and flying full speed in the direction where he felt that odd feeling "Something seriously doesn't feel right."
As he was getting close to the area, he felt several power-levels but they were trying to be undetected by lowering them "I should stop flying here and go there by foot so I won't be detected in anyway." he said as he descended near the plateau lowering his power-level "This should be good." he said as he climbed up the plateau until he got a better view of the place and it was right there, the tip of the entire ship buried underneath was finally there "I-It's there! I gotta tell everyone asap!" and with that Diego ran a fair distance where he could safely fly without getting detected.
"I sense Gohan on his way to West City right now. Goku will contact them then so I should hurry and let them all know about this threat." he said as he started to fly at a faster speed
Diego got to the yellow dome building a little before Gohan but he knew he was going to be there in less than a minute so he decided to wait for him and while doing so, he tried to come up with a way to break them the news. Gohan then landed next to him breaking Diego out of his thoughts "Hey there Diego. Where were you most of the day? I had to stop a plane from crashing all by myself you know" asked Gohan taking his helmet off "I had to take care of something and soon enough you will know what it is." responded Diego as they both went inside the building.
"So, you guys will be entering the tournament?" asked Bulma as she was testing the engine of a motorcycle
"Yeah. I kinda have to." responded Gohan rubbing the back of his neck as he nervously laughed
"Oh yeah? Why is that?"
"Uh, there is a classmate of mine who's the daughter of Mr. Satan..."
"Mr. Satan? You mean that guy the one that popped up out of nowhere and got in the way when you guys fought Cell? That's the martial arts champion. His daughter is your classmate?" asked Bulma as she turned off the motorcycle and got off, walked over to the counter popped a cigarette
"Yeah, but she is a good person and hates evil doers like I do. But she was smart and figured out that I am Great Saiyaman by the tone of my voice and a cut she saw me getting while I rescued a baby dinosaur from a circus as Great Saiyaman." said Gohan
"Yeah, heard about that on the news." stated Bulma
"Yeah and she said that if I don't participate on the tournament, she will reveal my identity to the media."
"She is a persistent one huh?" Bulma walked over the bike again "And taking this matter lightly really shows you are your father's son. So, you want me to improve your helmet so your voice isn't recognizable?" asked Bulma
"Is not that... At the tournament, you can't wear helmets or any sort of protection. SO I was wondering what could I use in place of the helmet." said Gohan holding up his helmet
"Here, try this on." said Diego handing Gohan a pair of retro sunglasses and a piece of white cloth "Use the cloth to cover your hair." he said leaning against the wall again "It is something it won't lessen the amount of damage you will take. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's their rules." waved off Diego
"You think this will work?" wondered Gohan "Oh it will work quite well, trust me." responded Diego
"Diego, will you be entering the tournament as well?" asked Bulma
"I will, yes." responded Diego
"Will be going as Shadow?"
"I don't know yet. Probably not."
"But wouldn't it be boring if you two entered? You two will be very likely to make it to finals anyways." reminded Bulma
"I wouldn't count on that. I will be entering whatever that tournament is." came the voice of Vegeta as he walked into the room where they were and it surprised everyone. Except for Diego, he knew that already. "Seven years ago you were the strongest out of all of us, but how about now? While you were caught up in peace, I kept training."
"That's right. He doesn't even work. Just like your father, Gohan. Maybe Saiyans aren't capable to understand the concept of work and only know the concept of fighting. Hmph." whined Bulma
"I will be entering too...Gohan." a voice was heard on everyone's mind "F-Father? Is that y-you?" asked out Gohan
"Goku." simply said Bulma with a smile forming in her face
"Kakarot?" wondered Vegeta
"Huh, just in time." thought Diego
"Father, that's you right?" happily asked Gohan finally hearing Goku's voice after seven years
"Yeah, it's me. It has been a while everyone." said Goku
"Father, how have you been?"
"I have been good, I guess. Even though I'm dead." said Goku making King Kai laugh with his unintentional joke
"Are you really coming for the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament, father?!" Gohan said with so much excitement
"Ya. I've ask Granny Baba to make my single day on earth that day! I will be allowed to go one day so I chose to go on the day of the tournament. You and Vegeta are entering right? I will be entering too!"
"Yahoo! Alright!" excitedly Gohan punched in the air
"I'm looking forward to it, Kakarot. You better be prepared, I have got a lot stronger." said Vegeta
"Me too, Vegeta. Okay everyone, I will meet you at the Tenkaichi Budokai." Goku was about to cut communication when a voice he didn't recognize interrupted "Excuse me, Mr. Goku. I will like to speak with you privately. It's an important matter I need to discuss with you." Gohan, Bulma, Trunks and Vegeta looked at Diego and were surprised to what he just said wondering what he meant by important matter and needed to talk with Goku
"Huh? I have never met you before. And how do you know my name?" asked Goku with clear curiosity
"If you don't mind, can we privately speak directly on my mind alone?" asked Diego
"Uh..Yeah sure. Can you do that King Kai?" asked Goku receiving a simple nod from King Kai and making the communication go directly to Diego's mind "Okay, you can go now." confirmed King Kai
"Thank you King Kai." said Diego only using his mind without having to say everything out loud
"So, who are you?" firstly asked Goku trying to know Diego's identity "My name is Diego and I am a half-Saiyan.."
"What?! I thought the only Vegeta and me where the last full blooded Saiyans left! Wait, don't tell me that you are Vegeta's son" asked Goku very surprised
Diego almost face-palmed to that assumption "No Goku, I'm not Vegeta's son. If that would have been the case, you would of know about me since I'm 20 years old and you died 7 years ago. I'm the son of a Saiyan named Hakusa who was sent to another dimension caused by an accident." Diego explained
"Wait, if you are from another dimension, how are you in this one?" asked Goku
"To be honest, I don't have an answer to that question myself." responded Diego
In the other side of the room; Gohan, Bulma, Trunks and Vegeta were looking at Diego as he carried a mental conversation with the deceased full blooded Saiyan "I wonder what are they talking about." wondered Bulma "Beats me." responded Gohan asking the same question himself "Whatever it is, it most be important. He did say it was an important matter" said Gohan "Hmph." simply said Vegeta
"But enough of introductions. The reason why I wanted to speak with you privately is because there is a threat that will attack the Tenkaichi Budokai. I wanted to tell you to get ready and train as hard as you can for that day because it isn't a threat we can't take lightly." said Diego with a more serious tone
"Oh really? And how big of a threat is it?" asked Goku "This threat is no joke, Goku. A lot of people will die and people we know will also die if we don't prepare for it." seriously said Diego
"Sounds very serious. Does anyone else knows about this threat?" asked Goku "No. I wanted to tell you first before I told everyone else." responded Diego "So, how do you know about this threat?" curiosity won the best of Goku "It's rather a complicated answer but what I can tell you right now is that the dimension I am, this whole entire universe is just a simply TV show and I grew up watching you and the rest of the gang dealing with dangerous threats. From the Raditz to Cell."
"Wait, what? Only a TV show?" Goku couldn't believe what he just heard "Yes. But don't let it get to you. I have been living here for more than a year and it couldn't get any more real. Where I come from is a different place. But more of that later. We got to get ready for what's coming, and trust me, we will pull through."
"Okay, I will be ready for that day." he then asked King Kai so he could talk to everyone else "I will see you at the tournament guys!" and then the 'connection' was cut.
Everyone then looked at Diego, expecting for him to answer what everyone had in their minds. What was he talking about with Goku?.
Diego was still looking up in the ceiling, thinking how he was going to explain what was coming to everyone on the room. He felt like he was being stared at that made him break thought. He looked around and came in contact with Vegeta's powerful stare that made Diego a little bit nervous "What were you and Kakarot talking about?" asked Vegeta with an intimidating tone
"It might be hard for some of you to accept or even believe it. Gohan here is the only one that knows about my situation." said Diego "What are you talking about Diego?" asked Bulma as Vegeta also wondered what Diego meant by what he just said
"Vegeta, do you remember when I asked you a while ago if there was a Saiyan that was sent to a different dimension and ended up being my dad?" Diego just received a simple nod from the Saiyan prince "Well, in that dimension's Earth, which is where I am from, this entire dimension...is just a simple tv show." Vegeta and Bulma were equally surprised, their eyes widen and their jaws dropped to hear such thing
"You mean to tell me that in your world we are just a mere form of entertainment?! All that has happened to us was just to entertain you?! Every that has happened to us has been real! We have lost people! My whole race was destroy and are you trying to tell me that it was just mere entertainment?!" snapped Vegeta at what Diego just said "Vegeta, I understand how you feel. I will react the same way if I was told that my life was just entertainment for other people."
"Oh do you?!"
"Yes, because I have been living here and this world just at real and every that has happened here is no entertainment at all."
"I don't think you understand. Get out of my place before I blast you to hell." threaten Vegeta "Vegeta! Don't say stuff like." Bulma told him setting him straight "Whatever." spat Vegeta as he was about to exit the room
"Vegeta, wait!" called Diego. Vegeta turned around extending his hand with a Ki blast aiming directly at Diego "What do you want?" everyone was shocked at how Vegeta reacted "Vegeta calm down!" shouted Bulma
Diego had his hands up at the blast that looked really to be let go "Look Vegeta, the reason why I wanted to speak with Goku privately was because I wanted to warn you all about a dangerous upcoming threat and I wanted you all to be ready for it." said Diego lowering his hands and getting more serious
"What threat are you talking about? Speak." asked Vegeta "It's a threat that will strike during the Tenkaichi Budokai and if we are not prepared for it, it is likely we would die." Diego said "Trust me on this one." he added
The Ki blast dissipated and Vegeta lowered his hand "Come again?"
"Trust me, if we are not prepared we will die." repeated Diego
Vegeta seemed to think about what Diego just said "Look, I know it's a lot to take in right now but trust me, train as hard as you can so we could be more than ready." Diego said "Hmph." is just what Vegeta said as he exited the room.
There was a moment of silence "Well, we better get going and give the news to everyone." said Diego walking up next to Gohan "Sorry about Vegeta's attitude." apologized Vegeta "No need to. I know how he is so I actually was taking a risk on telling him that." nervously laughed Diego "Yeah. We should get going and tell everyone about my dad coming for an entire day!" Gohan was so excited about Goku coming back for a full day that ignored that quickly forgot about the threat that Diego mentioned earlier
"Yeah, we should do that now." Diego said smiling at the thought about how excited Gohan was after knowing that his dad was coming back for a full day after 7 years.
They first flew to Kame House and told Krillin about what was going on. They landed outside on the beach where Master Roshi was sitting under an umbrella and like always reading a bikinis magazine.
"Hey, I will go and say to Master Roshi a minute okay?" said Diego excitedly at the thought of meeting the legendary Turtle Hermit. Diego walked up to where he was sitting "Hi there!" he said making Roshi putting down his magazine "Oh hello there." greeted the former martial artist "Nice to meet you Master Roshi! My name is Diego!" Diego said excitedly
"So, what brings you to my house?" asked Roshi "I'm just here with Gohan to let everyone know that Goku will be coming back on the day of the Tenkaichi Budokai for a full day!" Diego said excitedly
"W-What? Goku is coming back?" Roshi said as his widened in surprise "Yep, for a full day." re-assured Diego
Krillin came out of the small pink house wearing a red t-shirt and a pair of khakis pants and ever since basically quit fighting, he stopped shaving his head and let his hair grow "Hey there Gohan. It's been a while since I gave seen ya!" said the former monk "Hey there Krillin! Indeed it has been a while!" Gohan said
"So, what brings you here?" Krillin asked "Oh right, I just came to tell you guys that my dad will come to the Tenkaichi Budokai for the entire day!" Gohan told the former monk
"What?! Goku is coming back for a day?" shouted Krillin surprised at what Gohan just told him "Mhmm, and him, Vegeta, me and Diego over there..." Gohan pointed at Diego which was still talking to Master Roshi "...will be entering the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament as well!"
Krillin looked over where Master Roshi was holding a conversation with someone he has never seen before "And who is that Diego person?" Krillin asked "He is a half-Saiyan like me but is from a place very far away from here." explained Gohan "Another Saiyan? I thought all Saiyans were dead at the exception of Vegeta, you, Trunks and Goten." Krillin said "Well, its kinda complicated but Diego is from a completely dimension. His dad is a Saiyan that was caught in a accident and was sent to that dimension's Earth." this kinda confused Krillin a little "So, if he is from another dimension, how is he here?" asked Krillin a little confused to the situation "Actually, no even him has an answer to it."
Diego finished talking to Master Roshi and walked to where Gohan and Krillin stood "Hey there, my name is Diego. Pleased to meet you Krillin." Diego said extending his hand to Krillin a handshake. Krillin shook Diego's hands "Nice to meet you Diego." they both let go "Gohan here was telling me about you. You have gone quite a trouble huh?" said Krillin
"Yeah, crazy things happen but I already got use to this world. Feels like home you know." said Diego rubbing his hair "Gohan here was telling me that you will be entering the tournament as well. Aren't you afraid that you will be possibly fighting either Goku or Vegeta?" asked Krillin "Nah, not at all. I got some tricks that could help me." laughed Diego
"You should also enter Krillin." said Diego catching the retired fighter "What? Me? Nah man, I don't fight anymore. Plus, you Saiyans will be entering so there is no point to enter you know? And besides, what would the wife say." Krillin responded as a little blue ball came out bouncing from inside followed by a little blonde girl wearing piggy tails on each side and a pink little dress. The ball landed next to Krillin, he picked it up and gave it back to her "Here you go baby." said Krillin "Thank you daddy!" cheered the little girl named Marron "You should go too! They are giving prize money for the 5th place too!" said Gohan
"How much money are we talking about?" came a voice inside the house. Eighteen was standing by the door wearing a sleeveless jean jacket with white pants with flip flops "Let's see, First place gets 100 million zenni, Second place gets 50 million zenni, Third gets 30 million zenni, Fourth gets 20 million zenni, and Fifth place gets 10 million zenni." said Gohan
"We should enter Krillin!" shouted Eighteen. Krillin crossed his arms thinking about his options "Lets enter!" repeated Eighteen "Father, enter! Enter!" repeated little Marron "I guess I have no choice! We will be entering!" finally decided Krillin "Hey, don't tell Piccolo or I might lose my chance for the fifth place." whispered Krillin "Sorry, can't do." replied Gohan "By the way, why are you wearing that funny outfit?" said Krillin "I told you that outfit was ugly." Diego said
"You two don't have a sense of fashion." replied Gohan "If that is a sense of fashion, I'm glad I don't have one." Diego said with sarcasm "Whatever. Anyways, I will see you guys on the day of the tournament!" Gohan said as he started to fly and ready to go to The Lookout and tell Piccolo the news "It was meeting you all!" said Diego following but stop his tracks when he remembered "By the way, Krillin and Eighteen. You should train as hard as you can, you will need it." said Diego with a much more serious tone making Krillin and Eighteen wondering what he meant by that.
Diego then caught up with Gohan and flew in the direction of The Lookout "Next stop, The Lookout." said Gohan as they started flying faster and gaining height.
It took them 10 minutes to arrive to the floating temple. Diego starred at the temple in such amazement "This place is unbelievably amazing." said Diego in awe "I thought you already have seen The Lookout before." Gohan said "I mean, I have but seeing it with my own eyes its just a whole different experience you know." Gohan simply nodded at that "Lets go, we have to tell Mr. Piccolo the news." said Gohan as they landed on the floating sacred temple.
Piccolo, Mr. Popo and the current guardian of Earth Dende came out of the temple to greet Gohan and the person who was with him "Hey there Mr. Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Popo! It's been a while!" greeted Gohan and Diego walked behind him looking around and admiring the place "Hello Gohan. It's been a while indeed!" said Dende "Good to see you again, kid." said Piccolo "So, I don't we have met before." said Dende talking to Diego "Huh? Oh right, it's a pleasure to meet you Dende – I mean Kami-sama!" said Diego bowing "My name is Diego and I'm a friend of Gohan's." Piccolo looked at him for a moment "So, you are that presence I felt over a year ago." stated Piccolo getting Diego's attention
"Umm... I guess? I am not from here to be honest so I guess that will make sense." Diego said "Seems like it is him Mr. Piccolo. You were right, he is no threat." added the guardian of Earth "Wait, did you all saw me as a threat?" asked Diego not believing what he heard "We did at first because for a moment, your presence was not that of a human or anything else we ever felt before but then that presence disappeared and instead became the presence of a Saiyan." said Dende "That's a good thing haha." nervously laughed Diego
"So, what brings you here Gohan?" asked Piccolo "Oh right. Earlier today my dad contacted us from the Otherworld and told us that he will come for a full day and that day will be the one when the Tenkaichi Budokai will start, which he will be entering as well. Me, Diego and Vegeta will be participating as well!" excitedly Gohan said "I see. That's very interesting." said Piccolo
"Right?" responded Gohan "Okay, I'll enter." said Piccolo "Do your best, we will be supporting you Mr. Piccolo." said Dende and receiving a nod from Mr. Popo "By the way Gohan, why are you dressing on those oddly clothes." said Piccolo
"Not you too Mr. Piccolo. Don't you think this looks good?" asked Gohan "Do I tell you the truth or do we keep being friends?" sarcastically said Piccolo making Diego laugh out loud getting Gohan irritated "C'mon dude, you got to accept that was funny." said Diego whipping his tears from laughing to much
"We got to go. It's getting late and we have to tell my mom the news? Said Gohan "It was nice seeing you Dende and Mr. Popo." said Gohan and then he stood in front of the taller Namekian "I will see you at the tournament Mr. Piccolo."
"See you then Gohan." said Piccolo "Go on ahead, I will catch with you in a bit." said Diego. Gohan was walking towards the edge of the floating temple while Diego turned to Piccolo which stood roughly 7 feet tall while Diego stood at 5"7' "There is something of great importance that I got to tell you Piccolo." said Diego seriousness taking over him "What is it?" asked Piccolo noting the seriousness of his tone
"There is a serious upcoming threat that will strike during the tournament." said Diego shocking Piccolo and Dende as well "What do you mean there is an upcoming threat?" asked Dende concerned "How do you know about this threat?" asked Piccolo "It's a very long story but to make it short, I know what will happen in the future but I will fill you in the details on how I know about that tomorrow." said Diego "Kami-sama. I will like to ask you for a favor/" Diego asked the Earth's Guardian "Ask away and please, call me Dende." responded Dende "May I use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber tomorrow? I will need it to get stronger for that threat." asked Diego
"How do you know about the chamber?" asked Piccolo "Like I told you, I will fill you in with the details tomorrow. Piccolo." responded Diego "Umm... Yeah sure. I will have Mr. Popo prepare it for you-" "Actually, if it's not much asking, can you loaded it up for two people? I will ask Gohan if he can join me for training." requested Diego "Uh yeah. Mr. Popo, could you get the room ready for them please?" politely asked Dende to his assistant "On it Kami-sama." responded Mr. Popo as he went in the temple to stuck the room with a year worth of food.
"Thank you so much Dende." Diego thanked "No problem." the Guardian of Earth said "I will see you guys tomorrow morning!" said Diego as he ran and jumped off The Lookout to catch on with Gohan
"What kind of threat could he be talking about Mr. Piccolo?" asked Dende watching the half-saiyan leave the temple "I don't know but we will find about it tomorrow before he uses the room." said Piccolo with arms crossed looking at the horizon "I have a bad feeling about this." said Dende
In just a few minutes Diego caught up to Gohan "Hey, welcome back." Gohan said. Diego simply nodded "By the way, I don't know where Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are and I'm pretty sure Bulma will tell Yamcha the news. Now the only ones we have left are my Mom and Goten." said Gohan
"But, if I will enter the tournament I will have to go back to training but that means I will have to skip school. I don't know if Mom will be okay with that." Diego then looked at him "Don't worry, I know what to say. Leave it to me." said Diego
They arrived to the dome shaped house that belonged to the Son family. Gohan got out of his Great Saiyaman costume and walked inside the house "We are home!" said Gohan "Big brothers!" Goten greeted them "Hello boys. Get yourselves washed up. Dinner is almost done." said Chi-chi while she was cooking
Gohan and Diego got themselves into a more comfortable clothing. Diego wore a simple black tank top with dark gray sweat pants while Gohan wore a white long sleeve shirt under a yellow shirt with a white baggie pants. They both sat at the table and soon Chi-chi brought the food to the table "This smells good like always Chi-chi!" said Diego as he started eating a bowl of rice with pork-chop on the side and some sushi "Of course! My cooking is the best there is!" cockily replied Chi-chi "There is no argument in that."
The three half-saiyans were almost done when Diego looked at Gohan as they exchanged a nod meaning that it was time to tell Chi-chi about Goku coming back for the Tenkaichi Budokai and the rest of the day "Hey Mom, I have something to tell you." said Gohan "And what is that Gohan." asked Chi-chi as she was washing the dishes "Earlier today Dad talked to me from the Otherworld and told me he will enter the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament and will stay for the rest of the day afterward" said Gohan
Chi-chi nearly dropped a plate she was cleaning but got a grip on it and placed it in the counter, she turned around "What?! Goku will come back from the dead to enter the Tenkaichi Budokai?!" she said with so much excitement "Why'd you guys waited too long to tell me this big news!?" she then went next to Goten "Isn't that amazing Goten? You will be able to see your Father for a whole day!" said Chi-chi hugging and picking up Goten on her arms in joy
She then put him down back in his seat and the her eyes got watery "But I have gotten a little bit older. I bet you even age on the afterlife, do you? I'll have to go to a beauty salon. How long has it been? Seven years? All this is just to amazing that he is coming back!" kept saying Chi-chi with much excitement at the thought of her deceased husband coming back from the dead for a full day
Diego then looked up from his plate "Say, Chi-chi. Can me and Gohan enter the tournament as well?" said Diego with hope of Chi-chi letting them enter "I should get myself pretty – eh?" said Chi-chi after hearing what Diego said "First place gets 100 million zenni, second place gets 50 million zenni and third place gets 30 million zenni." said Diego "100 million zenni! Yes, you two can enter! If Goku and you two end in the top three we will get 180 million zenni!" shouted Chi-chi "B-But we haven't won yet.." said Diego "No! But you will!" said Chi-chi
"But in order to enter, we will have to take some time off from school to train.."
"I don't care! You two can always catch up later! This is grace from heaven. My Father's fortune is almost all gone and I was beginning to wonder what we'd do." said Chi-chi more calm
Diego and Gohan we getting ready to go to bed when Gohan came into Diego's room "We will start training tomorrow morning. We have a month to train hard if we want to defeat my dad and the rest at the tournament." said Gohan "Actually Gohan, I had other plans for us regarding about training." Diego said looking at him standing next to the window "Oh yeah? And what's that?" asked Gohan
"I asked Dende if we could use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber tomorrow. We can have a year's worth of training in only one day. Plus, you still have one more day to go into the chamber. What do you say, want to train there? It could help reach Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Two as well. Plus, you can get back in shape and be the strongest once more." said Diego making Gohan feel a little bit ashamed for not continuing his training after the battle with Cell
Gohan got his head down in a thoughtful manner and then he decided to accept the request "I will do it. I will train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with you, Diego." said Gohan with a smile and a look of great determination "Awesome. We leave tomorrow morning." said Diego having the same look of determination with a mix of excitement at an experience he wanted to know ever since he arrived to this world.
