Well here's Chapter Three. I've decided to just have Kakarot and Prince Vegeta just land on earth already. I have more ideas for the oncoming chapters than I did for the other ones. So I hope you guys enjoy this one. Kind of short but they'll get longer as the story progresses. Now to kind of explain a few things. Since Goku never landed on earth as a baby Grandpa Gohan is still alive. Bulma encounters him when it comes to the four star ball. And as for Krillin, well decided just to have him train with Master Roshi already. The others will come in soon too. Well I hope you guys like this one and remain interested.

Six Months Later…
Coordinates: North Quadrant, Enroute to Planet Earth
"Wake up Prince Vegeta. Entering North Quadrant. Nearing destination point," spoke the feminine A.I. voice in his space pod's communication system.
The lights within his space pod then begin to brighten. Warming the walls within the ship's cold sleep system slowly begins to fade awaking the young twelve year old from his deep sleep. Vegeta's eyes begin to open. Revealing his usual cold, strong onyx black eyes and uncrossing his arms from across his chest. His vision was a bit fuzzy and blurred at the edges, but they would soon return to normal for he has been asleep for the passed few months.
Looking down at the control system he spotted the section where it held his radar and the map of his current location. The computer stated correct. The planet Earth was only a few more miles away. They should be arriving there soon.
Meanwhile in the other space pod opposite to his. Kakarot's cold sleep also began to fade away as it went to normal mode where he could awaken.
"Wake up Kakarot. Entering North Quadrant. Nearing destination point," spoke the same feminine A.I. voice within his own space pod's communication system.
Seven year old Kakarot began to awaken from his deep sleep. His vision blurred as he fought to regain focus along with where he was. Then it hit him. He was still flying through space. From what he heard Earth shouldn't be too far off now. That worked just fine with him. The sooner he got out of this flying bucket the better.
He was seven now. Which meant he spent his seventh birthday asleep. Oh well. Not like he could do much inside the ship anyway. Didn't matter. He was looking forward to the real action that would soon be taking place. For soon they would arrive on earth and the fun would begin. The planets inhabitants having no idea of what was about to come their way and the danger and threat it would bring to the entire planet. The Saiyans.
Chapter Three: The Arrival
Coordinates: Planet Earth
Sixteen year old Bulma Briefs, daughter of the great scientist Dr. Briefs creator of the capsules and Capsule Corporation, is driving passed a high mountain range area of the vast forest. It was early dawn as the sun slowly began to rise over the horizon. The night skies of nightfall dispersing as the colors of early morning light began to shed all over the skies filling them with early morning clouds. The breeze cool, not hot or cold, just the perfect temperature.
Bulma has been driving for almost a solid good six hours now since her sleep. Already picking up on another dragonball on her dragon radar excited the girl on end. What brought those hopes up even higher was the fact that she wasn't too far off from it. She already had two of them with her so this one would make it three. Which then left four left to find. She couldn't believe she had just learned, not too long ago to be exact, of the existence and the legend of the seven mystical dragonballs. Collect all seven and you are granted one wish. And she knew exactly what that wish would be.
Bulma let out a sigh as her blue eyes filled with joy. "The perfect man," she said. To no one in particular for she was the only one present in the car. This was a solo adventure. Plus kept her from wandering the busy halls of Capsule Corp. everyday.
The dragon radar, which she had resting atop of the right side of the dashboard on the passenger side, began to beep continuously indicating the signal of the dragonball that she sought. "I should almost be right on top of it by now," said Bulma as she took a short glimpse at it. "Or due west a bit." She turned the steering wheel right as she began to make her way down a zigzagging dirt road. The scenery here was much more beautiful than from the mountainside road she had passed not too long ago. Tall trees filled with lush green leaves that swayed from the cool breeze in the wind and green grasses. If she had the time she would've stayed to enjoy the scenery a bit, but she knew well enough she didn't. Those dragonballs wouldn't find themselves. And who knows. She might not be the only ones searching for them.
"Just a bit further. It should just be right down the road from here." Bulma drove the car in the direction the dragon radar indicated for her. Which not too long lead her to a small house. Which resembled like an old Chinese shrine.
Wow. Who would want to live in a deserted place like this, thought Bulma to herself. Whoever they are they must sure have a lot of time on their hands. Now let's see. Taking another glance towards the dragon radar. The light beeped faster. The radar says its inside that house. Whoever's inside must have it. But the place looks empty. Guess there's only one way to find out, and that dragonball isn't going to bring itself. She stopped the car then turned off the engine. The humming slowed then faded. Not removing the key from the ignition, just incase she needed to make a quick run for it, she let it remain inside. Opening the driver side door she took one step out while the other remained inside. Bulma let her eyes wander the small home. Didn't seem like anyone was currently home. Whoever lived here was out she guessed. Though her mind told her to just walk over and see if the door was open and snatch the dragonball she fought against it. That would be very rude and her father always taught her better. All she could currently do was wait until the person showed. And who knows how long that'll take. She was never one for patience.
Stepping out the opposite leg she then closes and shuts the driver side door. Moving herself to the front of the car then took a seat on the hood. Arms crossed over her chest as she then exhaled some air. This is sure gonna take awhile, her thoughts continued to speak.
"Why hello there young lady," spoke a voice. Snapping the young teen out of her train of thoughts.
Bulma shifted her gaze towards the left where she knew the voice was coming from. Her blue eyes then rested on a small, short old man. A large dead fish hanging over his right shoulder. (Grandpa Gohan. Didn't feel like explaining too much)
"I wasn't expecting any guests today," he continued on. "I guess we should start with a proper introduction than shouldn't we. My name is Gohan. And you are."
Bulma stood up from the car's hood then dusted off her skirt. What a nice old man. Good mannered to. Not bad for someone who lives out in the country. "My name is Bulma Briefs. Oh sorry about that. ," she replied. "I didn't mean to intrude on your property mister it's just that… I was picking up a signal of a dragonball coming from this direction."
"A dragonball."
"Yeah. I think it's coming from inside your house."
"Really. Give me a second." The old man made his way over to his small house. Leaving the dead fish on the floor as he walked inside.
The door was opened, thought Bulma.
Less than two seconds passed Gohan returned. A dragonball in his hand. He stopped a few feet in front of Bulma then held it in between them. "I assume this is what you came to find."
"Yes! A dragonball!," cheered Bulma. A smile on her face.
"It's the four star ball."
"Alright how much you want for it?"
Gohan pulled the dragonball back to rest against his chest then shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry young lady but this dragonball is not for sale," he replied.
"Oh come on." Bulma crossed her arms over her chest. "Everyone has a price. Name yours. And don't worry the amounts never too high."
"As much as I appreciate your offer young lady, but I cannot bring myself to give you this dragonball."
"And why not?" At this Bulma was growing frustrated and annoyed with the old man's arrogance.
"It has sentimental value. It's the first and only dragonball I've ever found. It means too much for me to just give away. I'm sorry young lady, but the four star ball is not for sale."
"But you don't understand! I need that dragonball! It's the only way I can make my wish!"
What a strange young lady, thought Gohan to himself.
"Come on old man I'm sure there's something you want for it." Bulma continued on to persuade the man to give her his dragonball. With that one would leave only four more to go.
"I'm sorry for the disappoint my dear, but my minds made up and not going to change about…" Gohan stops mid sentence as his face grows serious. His eyes begin to wander the trees of the forest that surrounded his home. He saw nothing. Then he shifted his gaze towards the sky. For some odd reason he felt terror in the winds coming from the skies above. What it was he wasn't sure, but danger was surely on the way.
"Uh Gohan," said Bulma. "Are you ok? What's up?" Bulma looked up towards the sky as well, but saw nothing. What's this old guy staring at? A plane or something?
"Danger," was his only reply.
"Huh?" Bulma just stared in confusion. "Danger."
Kame House
The old turtle hermit and one of the greatest martial artists in the world, Master Roshi stood as he watched his latest student Krillin. A young seven year old little boy. Practice a few of the moves he had just recently taught him. He had to admit for someone so young the boy had much skill and talent. No matter how many times he failed to accomplish something he kept on going until he got it right. That showed a lot of heart and determination in the old turtle hermit's eyes. The boy had a lot of heart and that was one of the main key factors to have in becoming the world's next strongest fighter. The World Martial Arts Tournament would be starting soon and he told Krillin to prepare. For the fighters there would be strong as they came from all over the world. Only one would be crowned World Champion.
"Keep up the good work Krillin," said Master Roshi. "And remember you must always remain focused. Never leave yourself open for an attack." He's a good kid. He might just become one of the world's strongest fighters someday. Shifting his gaze up towards the cloudless, sunny skies. He felt as the heat slowly began to rise. It would be noon soon and the sun would hang high in the center of the sky. By then he'd much rather be inside his house.
Just then he felt a sudden shift in the winds around him. His face grew serious as he felt something wasn't right. What? He wasn't so sure, but surely something bad was about to happen. He's never felt anything like it. Strong, powerful, and deadly. But what was it? He's never felt a power so strong and filled with terror in his life. Something or more than likely someone was heading their way.
Master Roshi shifted his gaze to Krillin. He's only been training Krillin for a few months. Whatever was coming their way. He doubted the poor boy stood a chance. He had to find Gohan.
West City
The large city streets were crowded as always. All of it's citizens walking about as they began with their usual daily routines. Adults either drove or walked to work. The children going to school as always. Never a dull moment in West City which had one of the highest populations in the world. The usual yelling and cursing on the freeway as it was packed with those either going one-way or leaving another. Unbeknownst to them a great danger was slowly descending from above.
"Entering Earth's atmosphere," spoke the feminine A.I. in both of the boys space pods. "Prepare for landing."
Prince Vegeta remained calmed in his seat as he crossed his arms over his chest and one leg over the other. His back resting against the cushioned seat and his scouter situated in front of his left eye. Seriousness now filling his eyes as he prepared for battle. From what he heard this assignment should be a synch.
Meanwhile with seven year old Kakarot. He too took the same calm stance as his comrade. Awaiting the havoc that they were about to bring upon this planet. He couldn't wait. The sooner he got out of this ship the better. After being in there for almost a full year sure did a number on numbing his muscles. He needed some space to stretch then begin his assault on the planet. For sure the Prince wouldn't work alongside him for neither of them have spoken since their last, somewhat conversation if you would call it, six months prior to when they left Frieza's spaceship. They'd been in cold sleep since then so who knows what mood he would be in. But like always. He'd be pissed off with him about something.
"Beginning landing sequence. Space pods landing in ten seconds."
Kakarot didn't move as he stretched both of his arms out and his small hands resting against either wall of the ship. His eyes clenched shut tightly as he gritted his teeth. This was the part he usually hated. Last time he wasn't too careful and he paid the price when he landed. You would think being around these things so much he'd learn the basic on a successful landing without harming himself.
The two space pods broke through the earth's atmosphere and rocketed down towards the ground at alarming speeds. At this rate there was no stopping until the ships crashed landed on solid ground. As the time neared the final number the heat within the space pods begin to rise. Thanks to their attire their bodies wouldn't be affected at all by the heat that now surrounded them. The ships neared the ground. "Five seconds till landing… Space pods landing in 5... 4... 3... 2..."
The last number said in silence the two saiyan space pods then crashed landed down in a mountain range area of the planet. Penetrating through the grass filled meadow side-by-side two giant craters are made followed with a loud explosion sound. Smoke filled the now two large, giant sized craters embedded in the ground. Silence as not a sound was made. The animals that live around the area merely stayed where they stood. Watching in pure curiosity at what had just happened that caused the grounds to shake so violently.
Meanwhile inside the craters the space pods remained motionless as neither one made a sound or moved. Then after a few seconds of silence the doors then begin to hiss then unlatch. Opening the doors and revealing those who laid dormant inside.
Prince Vegeta was the first to open his eyes. He saw nothing at first like always. Just the remains of the crater that was made by them. Then he stood. Taking one step forward to welcome in the morning rays of the sun. They were finally there.
Next to him laid Kakarot's space pod. The boy didn't resurface for a brief moment. He wandered if something had happened to him during the landing. He didn't really care what happened to the boy. Just curious was all. They were partners after all. And their success depended on their well-being and conditions. They couldn't afford to be injured too badly.
Kakarot opened his onyx black eyes as he realized they had finally landed. And he was in one piece. That was a first. Standing up to see if he wasn't injured. Not at all. He actually did it this time without getting hurt in the process. That was a first for him. Taking a glance outside for the first time the scenery of the planet they were ordered to destroy. Didn't seem too different from those he's destroyed before. He wondered if the life forms here had any powerful warriors actually worth his time.
"Landing complete. Wake up Kakarot. Destroy all life forms," spoke the A.I. voice.
Kakarot eyes narrowed as he placed his scouter in front of his left eye. A serious look on his face. "Got it," he replied in a cold tone.
Kakarot and Vegeta have finally landed on earth. What do these two boys have planned for the future of this calm and peaceful planet? Will anyone rise to fight and take their challenge? Is there any hope for Earth's survival from these two deadly saiyans?
Well that's the end of chapter three. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Like I said before it ain't very long but they'll get longer. And I promise no more changes. Like always leave your reviews and tell me what you think. And remember no flames. Your reviews are really appreciated.
