A/N: This chapter introduces Signerleo's Oc, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out which one he is. I want to thank everyone who has read this so far and especially the ones who took time to review!
"Oh I can't wait!" the black haired girl exclaimed, turning to her two companions.
"Yeah! This is going to be so cool! I wonder how different the past is?" the blue haired teen responded enthusiastically.
"Girls…" the only male huffed good-naturedly, turning his attention to the time machine.
"Oh shush…We are just excited to get to do something interesting Gotenkshan." Bulla huffed, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"I know…" Gotenkshan smiled at his two friends.
"Are we going to leave or just sit here and stare at the time machine?" Pan rolled her eyes, wanting to get a move on.
"Yeah, yeah…" Gotenkshan muttered, turning away from the fourteen year old girl and back to the time machine, the only one of its kind. It was invented years ago by Bulla's mother, so Bulla's older brother Trunks could go to the past…for what? They never really talked about it, but it really didn't matter to the teens, they only wanted to see if it worked.
The machine hummed to life and the girls cried out joyfully.
"Let's go!" Pan yelled out, climbing into the cockpit of the machine. "If you two don't hurry up, I'll leave by myself." Pan called out, looking down at the two of them.
"You are so impatient Pan." Bulla told her friend, climbing up into the small cockpit and sitting next to the raven haired girl. Gotenkshan climbed in and sits on the other side of Pan, noticing how cramped the time machine really was.
"Ready!?" Pan cried out, raising her hand to hit the button that would send them to the past.
"Where do you three think you are going?" a voice called out, making the three of them flinch in shock of being discovered. They looked up to see Bulla's older brother, Trunks, staring at them, his arms crossed over his chest, much like his father.
"We are just going to the past. Is that a problem?" Bulla huffed at her older brother. Seriously, he could be overprotective sometimes.
"Why are you going there?" Trunks asked, uncrossing his arms and walking over to the time machine to run his hand over a single word written on the outside of the ship, a word that none of the pre-teens could ever understand the significance to.
"We thought it would be cool to see how our friends and family lived in the past." Pan told him, smiling widely.
"Do your parents know that you are leaving?" Trunks asked, looking up to the three of them.
"…"
"You do realize that they wouldn't let you go if you asked…right?" Trunks told the three, who refuse to look at him. "But…" The three of them looked down at the lavender haired man. "…I suppose what they don't know…won't harm them." Trunks smiled at them, turning away from them. "I had no idea that you were leaving and I never heard anything about you stealing the time machine from mother's lab." Trunks said before flying off, most likely headed for home.
"Phew…I thought we weren't going to be able to go for a moment." Pan sighed in relief.
"I know…" Bulla let go of her breath that she didn't realize that she had been holding.
"Let's go before any one else shows up." Gotenkshan ushered his two female companions.
"Right!" Pan exclaimed before hitting the button and sending them into the past.
In another time, much farther into the future~
"Come on Vegeta…I wanna press the button…" Goku jr. whined, looking at the large button then back up at his friend.
"No way. My great-great-grandmother made this piece of junk so I should be the one to press the button." Vegeta jr. reprimanded his friend, looking down at the somewhat rusted control panel of the time machine that his…how ever many greats-grandmother had built a long time ago.
"Aww…but Vegeta…" Goku pouted, looking longingly at the button before reaching over suddenly and pressing it, enjoying the beeping sound it made as it prepared to send them into the past…supposedly.
For a few moments, the old machine did nothing.
"Hmph…apparently my great whatever grandmother didn't know a dinosaur from a computer…" Vegeta jr. huffed, when suddenly the machine spluttered to life and whisked them away to another time…a time when their great-great grandfathers were still alive.
"Wow…" Pan, Bulla, and Gotenkshan all said, upon stepping out of the machine.
"I don't see any difference." Bulla huffed after a few moments. "It looks almost the same…does this thing even work?" Bulla asked, turning to look at the supposed time machine.
"Who knows? Maybe we should go to one of our houses and see if there is any difference." Gotenkshan suggested.
"Sure." The two girls agreed with him and decided to go to Gotenkshan's house, which was in Central City. The three of them flew to the city, and saw a few differences…but mainly it was the same.
"So…there are three newcomers…that don't matter…but I'm sure that this is just what I've been waiting for. Now he has to take me, for if he doesn't then he won't get this new information." An evil laugh resonated within the alleyway where the owner of this laugh was standing, and watching the three who had just landed in the city. Oh yes, this certainly was a good day…
"I told you this isn't the past you dummy." Vegeta jr. told Goku jr. jumping out of the time machine and onto the grass below.
"How do you know?" Goku jr. asked the slightly older boy.
"I just do." Vegeta jr. said cockily looking around at what looked exactly like the place that they had been in the future.
"Well…maybe you're wrong." Goku jr. suggested, fully believing that they were in the past.
"I'm never wrong." Vegeta jr. huffed, before flying to the nearest city.
"Wait for me!" Goku jr. called out, racing to catch up with the older boy.
The two of them landed and looked around…
"What's wrong with Central City?" Goku jr. asked, looking around and noticing that…the city looked different…older perhaps?
"I'm not sure…" Vegeta jr. reluctantly added failing to notice the presence that had surely noticed them.
"Two more of them!? HAH! This is working out wonderfully for me. Now there is no way he could just send me away." The person slid out of view, further into the alleyway and headed to the place where she knew she would be welcomed.
"Out of the way bug!" A female's voice echoed throughout the hidden lab's hall.
"I am NOT a bug! I am Cell." Cell informed the female who had the audacity to insult him.
"Yeah, whatever…where's Max?" She asked, looking at the insect like android.
"I'm right here…" Max said, entering the room and frowning slightly. "Why are you here Hasky?" He asked the blonde haired bandit.
"I have some information that I thought you would like to know." Hasky said nonchalantly.
"No thanks." Max said dismissively, turning to leave the blonde haired woman.
"What! But…I thought you would like to know about some new Z fighters." Hasky said before he could leave, causing him to stop in his tracks.
"New…Z fighters?" Max repeated, raising his eyebrow skeptically.
"Yeah…but I'll only tell you about them if you let me join in the fight against them." Hasky demanded, standing arms akimbo.
"Fine…now what about them." Max said, turning his full attention to the woman in front of him.
"There are five of them. Three of them look to be about eleven to twelve years of age, the other two look to be only about fourteen or fifteen." Hasky told the Mad Man.
"A few kids and pre-teens? As Z fighters? I knew I shouldn't have even wasted my time…" Max sighed, disappointed.
"Ah…but there is more. Two of the eleven year olds look exactly like the saiyans here on earth…" Hasky started, catching his attention again.
"Goku and Vegeta?" Max questioned.
"Yeah, and one of the girls is a dead ringer of the Capsule Corp. heiress, Bulma." Hasky told him, grinning.
"This is interesting…Bulma, Vegeta, and Goku's descendants…yes…this will do…" Max started, rubbing his chin, thinking hard about his new information. "How powerful are they?" He suddenly asked Hasky.
"…How powerful?" She repeated, obviously oblivious to their power level.
"Yes! How strong are they?" He asked her again.
"I…I'm not really sure…" She said, trying to come up with a plan to learn their power levels without being killed in the process.
"Take this robot…" Max told her, tossing her a capsule containing a new proto-type robot. "…and use it to attack them. It should read their power levels and record them so we know what we are dealing with." Max told her and turned to leave, but paused. "Do you think you can do that yourself…or should I send someone more capable?" Max nearly taunted the girl, who started to fume.
"I am more than capable to use a stupid robot!" Hasky yelled at the scientist before turning and exiting the room and lab altogether.
Hasky sped over to Central City and quickly found the two separate groups who had only walked around the city slightly. She pulled out the robot's capsule and released it. She noticed two things: 1) She now had a remote control in her hand and 2) the robot was now on a rampage, destroying the city.
"You know…this is kinda cool…you know being in the past and all." Gotenkshan told the older girls who looked equally impressed.
"Yeah, I wonder haw far in the past we actually are…and who of are families are…" Bulla started but was cut off by a loud explosion nearby.
"What in the world!?" Pan cried out, looking over at a smoldering building and saw a large robot of some sort.
"We have to do something or else all these innocent people will die." Gotenkshan declared, flying over to the robot. The robot had no logo on it so it was impossible to deduce who had been behind its creation. Bulla and Pan are right behind the eleven year old boy and rush at the robot, but are batted away. Gotenkshan rushes in and manages to land a few punches on the robot's head and shoulders. Bulla and Pan double team and grab a leg, pulling the robot to the ground. Gotenkshan sends a ki blast at the robot, but it barely dents the metal contraption.
"Wow! Do you see that Vegeta?" Goku jr. exclaimed, pointing at the robot in the distance.
"Yeah I see it Goku…Let's go check it out." Vegeta jr. said, flying over to the robot and seeing three others already fighting it. The two boys don't want to miss out on the fun and join into the fight. The five of them over power the robot and manage to cause the thing to explode.
Gotenkshan notices two young boys join into the fight and is rather surprised to see that they look exactly like his grandfather and his grandfather's friend, Vegeta. But he doesn't dwell on that for too long since he notices a blonde woman sneaking into an alleyway rather suspiciously. He quickly flies over and the woman notices him and points her remote control at him and presses a button.
Gotenkshan found himself tied up in ropes that seemed to drain his strength and ki, so he couldn't break free.
"What did you do to me?" Gotenkshan cried out, looking at the woman, who smirked.
"None of your business brat." Hasky replies, seemingly noticing his friends that were now approaching. "See ya later." She promised before turning and disappearing into the shadows and out of sight.
"Are you okay Gotenkshan?" Pan asked, starting to untie the young boy.
"What happened?" Bulla asked, helping Pan.
"Some strange woman pointed a remote at me and the next thing I knew I was tied up…" Gotenkshan explained, rubbing his wrists when they were released.
"A strange woman? What did she look like?" Pan asked him.
"Well…she had blonde hair…"Gotenkshan said, rubbing the back of his head for that was all he really could remember.
"Well that really narrows it down…" Bulla said sarcastically.
"You look like my mother…" A voice said behind the three and they all looked over at the small owner of the voice.
"Dad?" Bulla exclaimed, astonished at the resemblance. Vegeta jr. raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"Wha?" He questioned.
"Sorry…you just look a lot like my father…" Bulla told the kid and looked at the other kid, noticing he looks just like Goku. "What's your name kid?"
"Vegeta…Vegeta Jr. Briefs." He said, puffing his chest up proudly.
"That explains it…my father's name is Vegeta…I'm Bulla Briefs." Bulla said, ruffling her future grandson? Grandnephew?...Vegeta jr's hair.
"I'm Son Goku jr." Goku jr. said, smiling at the people around him.
"Wait a minute…" Gotenkshan said, causing everyone to look at him, "…I thought that we were going to the past…not the future."
"That's right…how'd we end up here then?" Pan questioned aloud.
"We came to the past too!" Goku jr. said proudly, giving Vegeta jr. an almost cocky smile about being right, earning him a punch to the arm. "So who are you two?" Goku jr. asked the other two who hadn't introduced themselves earlier.
"I'm Gotenkshan."
"I'm Pan." She said, earning a shocked expression from the Goku look alike.
"Grandma Pan?" Goku jr. asked in shock, earning a strange look from his future grandmother.
"Uhh…I guess so…" Pan says awkwardly.
"I think there are more important things to talk about other than our names." Vegeta jr. huffed impatiently.
"The kid's right. That woman and her robot couldn't have been up to any good." Gotenkshan said, the mood turning towards a more serious tone.
"Gotenkshan's right…I think we should locate the others and tell them about the blonde woman and see if they know anything about her." Bulla said, to which everyone nods and they try to sense the strongest power levels and are surprised to sense them clumped together. They take off towards the Z fighters, each of them having their doubts about messing with the past…a past that they never even would expect would be so screwed up.
Goku looked around and wondered why he and Gohan were the only ones to be turned into children, but suddenly senses five power levels coming towards them.
"Hey guys…there's people coming." Goku points out, looking towards the oncoming power levels, everyone looking the same way.
"I swear, if these are the people that took my Bulma, I will destroy them personally." Vegeta growled, he was the tensest of the seven. Suddenly a voice called out and dropped down next to Trunks and Goten.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Tarble, Vegeta's estranged brother, asked, looking at seven others in confusion. Vegeta's head whipped around and he grabbed his brother's shirt and started to shake the poor confused man.
"Do you have anything to do with the disappearance of Bulma?" Vegeta growled, causing Tarble to blink his eyes in confusion.
"Bulma's missing?" Tarble asked, used to his brother's short temper.
"Calm down Vegeta. Scaring people isn't going to help find Bulma, Chichi and Videl." Goku advised his prince, who glared at the youngest full-blooded saiyan, dropping Tarble and stalking slightly away from the group and continued to look towards the oncoming people. Tarble decided it would be best to keep his mouth shut, lest he wanted to be on the end of Vegeta's anger once again.
"I don't know guys…doesn't it seem strange that they are all there together…as if they are waiting for something…or someone?" Pan asked the others, who nodded in agreement.
"There's not much we can do though…what's the worst they could do to us though." Bulla shrugged her shoulders and continued on.
"Oh…I don't know, I suppose they could obliterate us…they are way stronger than us…" Gotenkshan muttered quietly.
As the five of them neared the Z fighters, they could make out the figures waiting below. Pan and Bulla could name nearly all of them, save a few, while Goku jr. and Vegeta jr., couldn't name nearly any of them.
They landed, and were instantly conscious of their position. It didn't help that the eight Z fighters looked ready to attack if they made any wrong moves.
"My name is Gotenkshan…and we come in peace." He said, shaking slightly, looking at the eight and noticing that many started to relax slightly.
"Gotenkshan? My name is Goku." The now young Goku said, smiling at the young boy.
"This is Bulla, Pan…" Gotenkshan introduced his female companions, who smiled and waved at the kind saiyan. "…and Goku jr. and Vegeta jr." he finished this time he received a shocked silence.
"Goku jr.? Are you…my grandson or something?" Goku questioned his look alike…if they weren't wearing different clothes, they would be almost identical.
"I think so." Goku jr. responded, smiling a very Goku like smile.
"And Vegeta jr. is Vegeta's grandson?" Goku questioned both the younger boys who glanced at the scowling saiyan, whom both were slightly afraid of.
"Yup." Goku jr. responded in place of his companion.
"Cool! What about you three? I assume that all of you are from the future." Goku questioned, to which all five of them nodded.
"I'm your granddaughter." Pan told Goku who smiled.
"I'm Bulma and Vegeta's daughter." Bulla told them, earning a shocked huff from her past father.
"What!? I do NOT have a daughter!" Vegeta exclaimed, finally joining the group and walking over to Bulla and glaring at her.
"In the future you do." Bulla huffed, glaring right back at him, causing him to smirk and shake his head.
"I suppose you do look like your mother and myself…" Vegeta huffed, looking at the blue haired teen who giggled.
"Anyways…" Gotenkshan said, getting everyone's attention, "…I'm Valese and Goten's son." He told them, causing Goten to pull a disgusted face at the mere thought of being with a girl, Trunks stood nearby snickering at his friend's discomfort.
"So why are you here?" Krillin asked the five of them who glanced at each other.
"Well…we originally came to see what the past was like…but then we ended up…seeing this woman who sent out a robot. We destroyed the robot…but she mentioned that we'd see her again." Gotenkshan told the others who stared at him.
"There must be something bad going on here…but what?" Goku muttered.
"Is there something wrong?" Pan questioned the older men (and Goku and Gohan).
"Yeah. Chichi, Bulma and Videl have all gone missing…we have no idea where they could've went…" Krillin told the ones from the future.
"Then Goku and Gohan were turned into children…and now this robot…" Piccolo said, trying to figure out what was going on.
"We should search around and see if we could find anything out of the ordinary…" Tarble suggested, looking around at the others, who nod slowly.
"He's right. Instead of sitting here and talking we should search for them before something bad happens to them." 18 tells them and they decide that she is right and split up in order to look for the missing women.
Hasky walked through the halls of Max's lab looking for the owner.
"So did you find out their power levels…or do I have to send someone more competent?" Max's voice taunted the blonde woman.
"Very funny Max. And I did find out their powers…though they are more powerful than I thought they would be." Hasky told him, following Max with the robot's chip that contained the information they needed.
"Whatever…that doesn't bother me at all." Max shrugged and grabbed the chip from Hasky and put it into his computer.
"They have time machines as well." Hasky added, trying to decipher the weird text on the small machine.
"Time machines?" Max repeated, looking at her in surprise. "Well now…that could be very good for us then…we just need to find out how to obtain them." Max muttered, scrolling through the Z fighter's power levels, surprised at the youngster's power.
"I could try to get them." Hasky suggested.
"HA! Not on my life. No…I think it's about time to make a move. I'm sure the Z fighter's are looking for their precious women by now." Max chuckled, looking back at his pretty androids.
"So…what's the plan?" Hasky asked, nearly excited to get to do something.
"Like I'd tell you." Max said, standing and going to walk away.
"What!? But you said that I could be part of this if I gave you my information." Hasky complained, standing in the doorway, not allowing the scientist to pass by.
"Calm down. I'm going to gather everyone and tell everyone at once." Mad Max huffed, going around the woman who had calmed down.
"Where do you think they could be…and what are we even looking for?" Krillin asked 18 who shrugged and continued to look around. "Man…I hate this…I feel so helpless…there is nothing we can really do…I mean…what if they are dead?" Krillin continued on, and rammed into his wife from behind for she had stopped.
"Don't you say that Baldy. You have to keep looking no matter what. I thought they were your friends." 18 scolded her husband.
"They are…and I'm not bald anymore so stop calling me that…" Krillin shook his head and looked around a bit. "I don't think we'll find anything…maybe we should just head to Roshi's…I'm sure others have given up by now." Krillin suggested.
"Fine, but the next time that you are in trouble, I'll remember this." 18 told him, before heading off towards Roshi's island, Krillin following slightly behind, shudders running down his spine.
=^.^=
Everyone eventually congregated at Roshi's house, unable to find any sign of the missing women.
"I don't know guys…I have a feeling that someone is out to get us…" Goku said to the others, who nodded and sighed.
"There always seems to be someone after us." Krillin mutters, shaking his head.
"And like all the other times, we will defeat this enemy and prepare for the next one." Piccolo said, raising their spirits slightly.
"Piccolo's right, first we need to figure out who or what is after us then comes the, hopefully easy part, taking them down." Gohan said, still getting used to child sized body.
"Hey guys, come look at what's on the TV." Roshi exclaimed as he rushed into the room…no one knew what to expect…
"I've told you all that we are going to take out Son Goku, and none of you believed me…but now is the time that Goku is finally destroyed." Max rallied to his fellow androids.
"But how?" Dr. Gero questioned his son.
"As I mentioned awhile ago, I have this gas generator," Max said as he motioned to the medium sized machine, "and this machine will drain the Z fighter's ki, making them significantly weaker than ourselves. Then we will be able to destroy all of the Z fighter's that had caused the Red Ribbon army problems. Also, we have three of the most important people to this group…" Max chuckled as he turned to his three precious androids, B, C, and V, "These three girls are partners of the three strongest Z fighters…and they wouldn't want to hurt their significant other…" Max chuckled loudly.
"Really? These three are important to those stupid fighters?" Cell questioned skeptically.
"Yes. The long black haired one is none other than Goku's wife. The other black haired one is Gohan's girlfriend and the blue haired one is Vegeta's wife." Max told Cell, who was pleased.
"Well now. This does seem like a lot of fun…but I do want to be the one to take Son Goku's life." Cell said, causing many of the other androids to object loudly.
"That is most unfair." 19 spoke out to the insect like android.
"Will you just shut up! It doesn't matter who fights who, just as long as they are dead by the end of the fight." Max yelled at the now mumbling androids. "Anyways…let us go get the attention of the Z fighter's…all the while loosening some rusty bolts." Max said, grabbing the generator and exiting his lab with everyone following behind.
"A group of about twenty men appeared out of nowhere and are now destroying the beautiful beach where many people had gathered to celebrate Mayor Sandy's fiftieth birthday." The beautiful news reporter informed the hundreds of viewers who were shocked…
"They've finally made their first move." Goku said, turning to his friends. "Let's go before they decide to leave." They all took off towards the beach where the reporter had said the men were.
None of them really knew what they were getting themselves into…
"Hey Max…" Hasky got the attention of the scientist, "…the Z fighters are on their way."
"Really…good. They have no idea that this will be their final battle." Max chuckled while Gero, who was standing nearby, was still somewhat skeptical about his son's plan.
"You know Max…you shouldn't be so optimistic about this battle. Goku and Vegeta alone will be the hardest to take out…" Gero informed Max, who shrugged this information off.
"I've got it all figured out. Hasky!" the blonde woman jumped before turning to the man who called out her name, "How many of them are there?" Max questioned her.
"Umm…" Hasky paused to count the number of signals coming towards them on her sensor in her hand. "…Fourteen."
"Only fourteen…and we have twenty-four…this will be too easy." Max laughed at how outnumbered the Z fighters were.
"Each android will have their own Z fighter…although a few of you will have to team up to fight the stronger fighters such as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo." Dr. Mad Max informed his army right before the awaited fighters finally showed up.
The Z fighters drew closer to the beach where the news reporter had said the men had been…but they were unable to sense any ki signals…which meant only one thing.
"Do you suppose that these men are…androids?" Krillin asked nervously, remembering the last time they had fought androids…even though that had been years ago.
"They must be…I can't get any ki signal readings from that beach." Goku said before increasing his speed, they rest of the group following.
As they reached the beach, they noticed a large group seemingly waiting for their arrival. The Z fighters landed, though some were more reluctant than others.
"Wait!? I thought that many of these androids were dead!" Gohan exclaimed as he looked at the androids in front of them. They saw about twenty various androids, Android 1-15 (minus android 8), also android 19 and Cell.
The group of androids split apart in order to let the blonde woman, shoving her way through the crowd, through.
"It's you!" Gotenkshan exclaimed, recognizing the woman from the alleyway.
"I told you you'd see me again." Hasky told the quarter-saiyan. "Now onto more pressing matters…are you prepared to die?"
"No one is going to die by your hands." Piccolo tells the woman, glaring at her, but he never lets the other androids leave his sight.
"Oh of course not…I'm not going to be really fighting. I'll let the androids do that." Hasky chuckles, flipping her hair out of her face.
"Why must we fight?" Goku asks any and all the androids, to which he earns so many responses that he can't understand a single one. The androids eventually quiet and Cell speaks up.
"It was YOUR fault that we were dead, so we want to repay the favor…besides, getting rid of the earth's strongest fighters and only source of defense will be a bonus anyways." Cell laughs as the now small fighter starts to get angry.
"If there is anything I'm sure of, it's that I will not be taken out by a piece of scrap metal." Vegeta growled at the bug like android.
"Yeah…'cause you did so well the last time we fought Vegeta." Cell said mockingly.
"Cell, knock it off. We don't want to start this fight too early." Max said, making his way through the crowd of androids, Gero on his heels.
"Who are you?" Goku asked the newcomer, and glancing at Gero.
"Me? I'm Dr. Mad Max. Son of Dr. Gero. Creator of a new form of androids and the reason of your imminent destruction." Max's voice seemed to boom since the entire beach was quiet.
"Is that supposed to scare us?" Vegeta asked, obviously not impressed.
"No." Max said, somewhat annoyed at the rude saiyan, but decided to unveil one of his big surprises for the Z fighters. "Hasky, can you go retrieve my new androids?" Max ordered the woman who smirked and went to get the three female androids.
"What, do you expect us to be frightened by a couple of modified toasters?" Vegeta huffed, his arms crossed over his chest angrily.
"Will you just shut up you over grown monkey!" Max snapped at the saiyan prince, who growled at the scientist and had to be held back by a couple other fighters. Vegeta only paused his attempt to hurt the scientist when he saw the three androids walk over.
"Bulma!" "Videl!" "Chichi!" The three men exclaimed simultaneously.
"Hello Goku dear." Android C smiled evilly at her "husband".
"Hey 'Geta." Android B winked at her man.
"I've missed you Gohan." Android V told her boyfriend.
"What have you done to them!?" Vegeta, Goku and Gohan all yelled at Max, who laughed.
"Simple. I kidnapped them, then turned them into androids that are going to kill you." Max laughed, enjoying the shocked and angered looks on the saiyan's faces.
They realized then…
…this fight wasn't going to be as easy as they had originally thought…
A/N: There's chapter 2 for you all. I hope you liked it…and I hope that it didn't seem strange or awkward in places since it took me over a few months to actually finish this chapter. I would enjoy to hear what you thought of this chapter/story so far.
