I do not own Dragon Ball or any of the Dragon Ball series, this is fanfiction only.
The training proved to be more painful that even Raditz figured. "The theory is quite simple we train our bodies to the point of the razor's edge. We get as close to dying as we can, all that damage we cause ourselves when we recover it becomes our strength. What does not kill a Saiyan , only makes said Saiyan stronger. "
" In this chamber you are currently only feeling 20 times this planet's gravity, but to me who has experienced several hundred times this planet's gravity this is as easy as breathing. So when I tell you that I am going to train under no circumstances are you to enter the gravity training chamber. If you do your heart might not be able to take it and you can die. "
Kagaro explained that during those times he would assign them each a book to read, and a skill to learn about. For Raditz logic, For Kakarot math, and for Gohan he gave the basics of Saiyan science." you each know what to read and have an assignment to complete, if you fail to read the book and not complete said assignment you will train double. "
The training went on like that for an entire month, Kagaro could only train a few hours each Sunday. The reading made each realize their own flaw. Raditz realized that he could train better if he spent a little time and decided the best course of action with a calm, collected outlook.
Kakarot learned to expand his choices, as his math skills improved he began to think of different ways to look at a problem. Gohan simply learned the dangers of underestimating something. Gohan figured that science for a race that valued combat so much, their science was probably a joke. How wrong he was as he learned of the great thinkers of his own kind.
The scientists did thinks that made Gohan think of bigger and brighter ideas, it boosted his imagination to new heights. The physical training they each improved by leaps and bounds. The had improved so much and they still had 11 months to go.
One night he felt nostalgic and decided to look at an old photo album Lapis made for him. He smiled as he looked pictures of his marriage, his mate pregnant, playing with Kuya and said girl showing them the crystal necklace she made for her mother as a birthday gift. He was so focus touching the album he did not notice Gohan looking at them.
"Uncle, who is that strange woman and girl with you? " Kagaro looked at Gohan as he finished asking his question." My mate and your cousin, both killed by the thugs of Frieza. My mate really look that strange to you Gohan? " Gohan saw the small tear running down his uncle's face.
" She just has scales for skin and snake eyes. I never knew such people were out there. " Kagaro smiled and he told him to sit down. He punched a name into the main computer of his ship." My beloved came from a people that evolved from dragons. They call themselves the Dracoids, and in their ancient language, Lapis means love. They live on a high gravity world, where the day can have temperatures that reach up to 250 degrees and the night the same in cold. They live underground in small villages they dig themselves. "
" They grow food and draw water from deep underground rivers. Kuya your cousin was planning to be a crafter of jewelry. The reason she looks like me is simple. The normal saiyan DNA has three strands of genetic code. Thus making it one of the most strong DNA there is, when we have a child, no matter the other parent's species the child will always be a saiyan. They do inherit some of the abilities from the other race , but physically he or she is a saiyan. "
"So you see my nephew every time you fight, you will get stronger and with each time you too will come closer to becoming a super saiyan. But always remember this, never let it go to your head, a warrior needs two things to be truly great honor in his heart, and something precious he will always cherish. " Gohan asked what it was that he cherished then?
" My family dear nephew, why else do you think I would travel half across the Galaxy to help my two baby brothers? So don't you worry, if I can help you. I always will nephew. " Gohan thanked him for sharing with him the story and letting him see his pictures. Gohan went to sleep being grateful that his dad's brother was not the scary guy he first believed him to be.
" Lapis, who is this weird, yet beautiful woman I see when I sleep? Are you trying to tell me something?" in heaven Lapis listened to his heartfelt words and looked at him with a frustrated look on her face. "If only I could tell him that bimbo is his next mate, I knew he was sometimes dense but this is ridiculous. I could just scream if he only was able to hear me."
That is when another person their was a way for her to deliver her message to the living. King Yama told her that there was a fortune teller by the name of Baba and she could indeed communicate with the spirits of the dead. He be glad to help her deliver her message to her, and Baba could deliver the message to the she wanted to hear it.
Happy to hear that she wrote a message for Kagaro and asked King Yama to help her. King Yama was usually a very busy person, but for some reason he really wanted to help this young female dracoid. "His name is Kagaro of the saiyan people, I think I saw him with someone named Goku. I am Lapis and thank you for your help."
King Yama was shocked at hearing someone refer to this person with such love, care and tenderness.. "Before I go I must ask you why do you feel the need to help such a creature such as him. He killed millions, destroyed entire civilizations, and made worlds into graveyards. Why do you still care for him so?"
Lapis smiled as she already knew of his past. "My mate told me of his past and his many wrongdoings. I saw the pain it brought him and did my best to heal it. I love him for he made me happier in 15 years of our marriage than a thousand years before him. He is the father of my child and the man I died loving and still do. Please do not judge him without at least knowing him. "
King Yama did ask he promised and delivered the message but it would take some time for the message to reach him." I wonder if he is the monster I believe he was or did he do these things for another reason altogether. No matter if he lives, one day he will stand before me. I will know then the truth. "
Raditz, Gohan and Goku woke up to the smell of a delicious breakfast." First, we eat and then we continue our training. I have not been warned of any approaching ships, pods or other forms of transportation. But that does not mean we can waste time. Vegeta and Nappa are considered elite warriors and we are and always have been labeled low-class warriors at best. We have a lot to do to give them a proper welcome. "
" Kagaro why do you help Kakarot and his offspring? " He looked at Raditz with an almost angry glare." You do well to remember he is our brother, and Gohan is your nephew. Most of our race is dead at the hands of Frieza, who killed them out of fear. Kakarot has shown us a way to revive our people and this planet can be our new home. But to be able to live in it, we must be willing to defend it. "
Gohan could not help feel a little relief as he heard him say that. The time for the confrontation was doing near and the year of training had indeed increased their fighting prowess and abilities. But it was not enough for them to reach the level of power to even attempt to become super saiyans. It was a thing he often meditated on and came to believe that it was two things that were required. Strength and strong emotional outburst, probably the anger of loss, the sadness of loss or the desire to protect.
As the day finally arrived and his ship told him where the pods would land he, his brothers and his nephew took off toward the landing point. Turning on his scouter he knew this was not going to be a good day. "Kakarot I believe some of your friends are following us. After we land you must send them away, they will die at their current power level should they fight with us."
Raditz turned on his scouter and had to agree. "At their power level I could kill them myself, and easily. This is the Prince of our race and his personal bodyguard. If there is combat they would only get in the way."
That is when Goku did something monumentally naive,but this would be learned later for him. "We can simply gather the Dragon balls and make a wish. They eternal dragon can grant one wish when summoned."
Vegeta was simply loving this conversation. So if they gathered the Dragon balls he could wish for immortality, what a wonderful discovery. The fact that his scanners showed him that there was at least one Namek on the planet proved to him that what he heard was true.
They arrived as the pods crashed landed on a nearby field. "So let's go and greet our chatty friends Napa. I am sure Kakarot knows where these dragon balls can be found. Imagine it, immortality, with that beating Frieza would be a simple thing." the big bad looking saiyan just nodded his head.
"I don't know who your friend is Kakarot, or is he your friend Raditz, no matter I will have you tell me how this dragon balls work and how I can make my wish or you will die. " Goku's friends arrived as he finished saying his demand. Krillin landed near Gohan and asked him." How in the world does he even know of the Dragon balls, don't tell me he can read minds. "
Kagaro glared at Raditz as he saw a light on his scouter." It is a actually quite simple, my idiot brother did not turn off his scouter after he did the initial scan of you lot. I told him to keep it off, thanks to him they heard every single word Kakarot said. "
Raditz demanded to know how he could keep his on." Again an easy answer I modified mine on my way to this planet. If I could make a ship out of a bunch of pods, do you think modifying a scouter would be so challenging for me? " He walked over to Nappa. " Still hiding your true form, honestly Nappa why does a female named after such a lovely flower decide to hide behind such an ugly disguise. "
Vegeta was not sure what the stranger was talking about." You honestly do not remember me. I am your old childhood friend. Seriously Nappa I have even seen you in a swimsuit for crying out loud. You remember that pink striped bikini. " Nappa for some reason was frozen on the spot.
She tried to use the voice modulator to sound really masculine." Just who the hell are you to make such embarrassing lies about me. There was supposed to be only Raditz and Kakarot here, just who the bloody hell are you? " Vegeta wanted to hear this answer as well.
" Let's see I was the first guy you ever kissed, you do remember the name Kagaro don't you Napping No Clue Nappa. " She was so shocked at hearing the childhood nickname she hated so much that she forgot to turn on the voice modulator when she screamed." Damn it Kagaro, I told you once and I TOLD YOU A HUNDRED TIMES I HATE THAT STUPID NICKNAME. "
The burly guy simply shouted in the most girly and embarrassed tone Krillin had ever heard." Oops, guess the jig is up." she pushed a button on her scouter and the big burly guy began to shrink and shape in shape. Long purple hair, curly and with full volume, long legs, nice hips, tight waist and a rather decent size pair of breast.
"I broke up with you for that very stupid nickname. After all this time you still call me that, I thought that you died on that mission with your stupid frog-faced apprentice. Kagaro why are you even here? "
Vegeta was completely speechless, his bodyguard had been this pretty female saiyan the entire time, and he did not even notice it." How did you know he was not a he but a she? I demand that you tell me how? "
" Vegeta you did not study much botany did you? Nappa is the name of a flower, the flower that represents fertility and motherhood. Do you really think a guy would be named after that flower? And I dated her a long time ago. " Nappa was angry and had her hands on her hips." Bullshit, you did not only date me, but you are the only guy I ever slept with!?"
