One year later...
"Hyaaah!" Goku yelled. Kicking hard, the saiyan launched Raditz into the wall. The elder brother was barely conscious, and Goku knew it. So the saiyan walked with Raditz under his arm, the elder's arm draped over Goku's neck. They approached the healing tank, and Raditz was placed in it. Appule waited, and then put the rejuvenatory machine into full cycle, the culture fluid healing Raditz right up.
"This will take only minutes, now," Appule told Goku, the second saiyan ever nice to him.
"Wow, that fast? How'd that happen?" Goku was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. Appule grinned.
"I helped create a faster healing agent, using the extract of those beans you gave me. They work wonders for the machine. The scientists then were able to duplicate the beans extract, and now are trying to cultivate the beans in the Earthen soil, with some fertilizer, and then our forces can heal themselves during combat, as well!" Appule beamed in pride, seeing that Goku's face was in a fixed position of amazement and glee. Goku couldn't even speak for a minute, and then managed to hear his own voice again.
"Was one of the scientists a girl? Named Bulma?" Goku finally asked.
"Yes! And I'd say she was one of the smartest people there. Some other brains became jealous, because they thought she was just a dumb girl! Though I think girls still shouldn't be judged."
"Really, how?" Goku figured there was a story for that, and Appule knew this would come eventually, anyways.
"Well, for saiyans, Fasha beat the crap out of me when I called her a weakling. 'Because,' I said, 'you're a girl.' Well, she had it, and beat me up until I caved." Appule paused, looking at Goku's face. He wasn't laughing, and Appule continued: "And I thought females of Earth were all wimps, until I met your wife..." Appule whistled, and then shuddered.
"Ha ha; I know what you mean! Chi Chi's something else!" Goku laughed, rubbing the back of his head. And, what do you know...
"GOKU..." Chi Chi held her frying pan of DOOM with her right hand, smacking it menacingly on her left hand. Goku looked warily around, terrified as ever.
"Oh, h-hi Chi Chi... How's G-Gohan?" Goku asked, and Chi Chi slammed the pan over Goku's noggin, leaving a lump.
"Oh, he's fine..." Chi Chi seemed calm, but then burst out yelling... "JUST TRAINING WITH THAT PICCOLO MONSTER!"
"C-Chi Chi?! Don't be mad!" Goku whined a bit, and Chi Chi just exploded.
"Mad? MAD?! OF COURSE I'M MAD! MY SON IS TURNING INTO A JUNIOR DEMON, AND HIS FATHER CALLS HIMSELF EARTH'S GREATEST HERO?! GET OUT THERE AND STOP HIM FROM TURNING EVIL! NOOOOOOOOOOW!"
"That man, Piccolo, is part of the peaceful Namekian race... Who are quite the opposite of demons. Aside from a select few, Nameks are one of the most peaceful people there are," Appule replied. "So, how did this 'Piccolo' come to be evil?"
"Well, a long time ago, Earth's guardian split into two halves: Kami, the good one; Piccolo the bad one. Piccolo was a menace to Earth, until he was sealed away. Some one set him free, and then I fought him and lost... but I was healed, and got a power boost, so I beat him the second time. Piccolo layed an egg, and Piccolo Jr. popped out of it. Three years later, and I beat Jr., winning the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament in the process."
"So this is Jr.?" Appule asked.
"Yep!" Goku replied with a Son Grin.
"But he's namekian. So how is this reincarnate evil, even if his 'father' was?"
"Well, now he's not really 'evil'... just grumpy!" Goku replied again, this time with a laugh.
"Huh..."
"Goku... FETCH GOHAN!" Chi Chi demanded.
"O-okay, Chi Chi! On my way!" Goku cried, running to the Gravity Chamber Gohan and Piccolo were training in.
Meanwhile...
"Masenko... HA!" Gohan cried.
"Destructive Wave!" Piccolo yelled, firing off the big, yellow wave. The two blasts collided, Gohan's Masenko piercing Piccolo's Destructive Wave, and the rest of each wave hitting the oppositions' faces. Gohan was knocked out, and his clothes were in rags. Piccolo's clothes also were in tatters, as Gohan was growing admirably in power, and Piccolo had to fix both of their clothes with his Magic Materialization. Then, the namekian threw water on Gohan's head, stirring him and forcing him to get up.
"Ugh... Let's go again, Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan demanded his teacher. Piccolo smirked at Gohan's enthusiasm. All he did, however, was wave his hand in a "come at me" motion.
They entered another brawl, this time Gohan seeming to get the upper hand. Gohan dodged a punch from Piccolo, kicking the namek in the face, then slamming him in the chest. Piccolo feigned a clothesline, then sweeping Gohan's legs from under him with a low kick. Gohan did a spring up to the ceiling, then launched himself at Piccolo, a ki ball in his hand.
Goku then walked in, stopping Gohan in his tracks, which Piccolo used to kick Gohan in the gut, knocking him out again.
"Oh, hey Piccolo," Goku greeted, as the namekian threw his son at him.
"Heal your brat," Piccolo growled. "And teach him to not succumb to distractions." Upon saying this, Piccolo growled deeper... 'Why did I say that sentence to someone like Goku? He's probably the reason his brat gets too distracted.'
"'Kay! Will do, Piccolo!" Goku gleefully responded, carrying his son to the healing tank. After Gohan was hooked in, Appule set up the machine for "Children Cycle", and resumed the chat with Goku.
"So, I suppose your son has more manners than most saiyans, then," Appule was now drinking a space coffee.
"He learned manners from Chi Chi," Goku said, eating a sandwich. And like everyone else, Appule was sort of disgusted.
"I sort of doubted that you did..." Appule said candidly, sheepishly grinning.
"Yeah, I know!" Goku laughed. 'Thank the gods he swallowed before that...' thought Appule with a sweatdrop.
"Hey, Goku!" a voice called out. Goku and Appule looked to where the voice came from: It was Krillin.
"Oh, hey Krillin! How's the day been for you?" Goku asked his best friend.
"Okay, I guess... but your dad wants you to meet someone today!" Krillin smiled excitedly. Appule then began to smile, as well. Goku was very confused, and seemed to tell he was missing something important. Krillin saw this and added: "I just found out myself, Goku!"
"Oh, okay! If my father wants me to meet 'em, I guess I'll go meet 'em!"
The cycle beeped, signaling Gohan was healed. The boy opened his eyes slowly, and Appule finished the process, draining the fluid and releasing the child. "You better take him with you, too!" Appule smiled broader now.
"Oh, okay..." Goku agreed, still puzzled by the strange behavior of his best friend and the kindest doctor he ever met. Gohan was a bit confused, too, not knowing where they were even going.
Krillin guided the Sons to a medianly sized bar area, except without any beer. A group of saiyans, Yamcha, Tien, Chaiotzu, Bardock, Raditz, and two new saiyans were in a circle. Goku saw that one of them had a haircut like him, his father and Turles, but he had light tan skin. The other one, a baby, had a little green helmet on, so he couldn't see his hair.
"Hi, guys!" Goku cheerfully spoke up, despite his confused inner thoughts.
"Hey, Goku!" His Earth friends greeted back.
"Kakarot!" Raditz looked at his brother, and noticed his power. "Did you actually surpass me?!"
"Did I?" Goku wondered, too. Then he laughed and said, "I guess I did! I hadn't really noticed! Eheheh!"
"Well, I suppose it is time to increase the gravity, then!"
"So, who's this? Is this who you wanted me to meet, dad?" Goku pointed to the man and baby, who turned to look at him. The man smiled, and Bardock smiled, and the baby giggled.
Raditz, however, was smirking intensely. "Say hello to your little brother, and nephew, Kakarot!"
On Trivegeta's moon, Dwarf Vegeta...
"HHHHHHhhaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" a familiar saiyan prince shouted, powering up to his max. His aura flared and flikered gold, but alas, Prince Vegeta could not ascend to a super saiyan.
"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I HAVE TO ASCEND TO SUPER SAIYAN BEFORE KAKAROT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! DAMN IT! DAMN IT ALL!" he screamed, his aura flashing a brighter gold now. Beside the area stood Nappa, in awe of what he was observing. His prince had almost ascended to the golden super saiyan of legend, and seemed to be even stronger every yell.
And with one final push, Prince Vegeta had become a super saiyan. His hair was yellow, but was unchanged besides that. His power level skyrocketed to 50 times his already unparalleled strength and speed. And his aura was a solid gold, unwavering.
"You've finally acsended, Vegeta!" Nappa cried.
"Of course I did, moron! And I'm also ecstatic, as you can tell! Let's put this power to the test..." Vegeta stated bluntly, then flew to the other side of the pale green moon in an instant, and then flew back, completely orbiting the sphere, and reappearing behind Nappa. It took the saiyan general a second to register what had just happened, and then he turned around and jolted back in shock.
"W-what?! How'd that happen?!" Nappa stammered, a sweatdrop forming behind his head.
"The speed is incredible..." Vegeta muttered to himself, not paying attention to Nappa's gaping posture. "Let's see the power..." And with that, Vegeta raced to the upper atmosphere, and fired a ki ball the size of a ping pong ball at an incoming meteor. The meteor absorbed the attack, and then imploded with a brilliant gold light. There was nothing left at all.
"Heh... Frieza is a goner..."
Vegeta Planet 02
'I can do this!' thought a little, brown haired blur as he was dashing all around, trying to make his foe slip. His 'foe' was actually none other than Turles. The red skinned saiyan was effortlessly blocking each and every attack the other, smaller saiyan was delivering, and then throwing strong ki blasts to keep him at bay. The kid then began charging up a sphere, tinted blue, in his outstretched left palm.
"Glare Buster!" the tyke screamed, and his blue orb hit Turles completely, the saiyan just shrugging it off.
'Dang it! Nothing's fazing that guy! AAAARRRRGGGHH!' The kid screamed silently, landing on his left foot, and pausing for a few breaths on the stone pillar where he touched down. Gritting his teeth, the kid's aura shimmered.
"Are you ready to concede yet, pseudo saiyan?" Turles mocked, grinning playfully.
"No way!" came the tyke's livid reply. Turles grinned more at this, with his features turning predatory. The red skinned saiyan suddenly vanished, to reappear behind the kid on the pillar. Turles's left elbow smashed between the stunned kid's shoulderblades, and the kid's body was sent careening into the ground. The brunt of the force crushed the ground beneath him, and, before the tyke could react, Turles had already fired off a thin, violet beam of light behind the kid. The beam exploded, sending dust off in all directions, and the kid into a nearby mesa. The mesa caved in, covering the kid in dust and rocks. Turles began to calmly walk towards the seemingly unconscious "brat," smirking, when the stone and dust suddenly erupted. A cloud of dust and pebbles flew off in all directions, and Turles's smirk fell. As the red saiyan stood with his arms crossed, the enraged kid charged up an enormous energy attack in both hands, and from where Turles stood, the light shined brightly, even through the blanket of dust and debris. "Take THIS! Super Destructive Flare! HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
Turles braced for the attack, which was wise, as the ki wave washed over him with immense force. Turles only saw the light of the attack, and only felt the heat as his red skin started to peel. Despite the lack of pain the red saiyan was feeling, he knew that if he didn't put up any defense, the attack would have flattened him. Aside from the cracking of his RIT armor, he could hear his spandex burning off, and couldn't feel either of his shoulder pads' existence anymore. His scouter was toast, broken by the overload of power, and atomized by the energy attack itself. Slowly, the attack began to fade, and Turles softened his stance. Leftover energy was still crackling around him in a blueish hue.
From under the smoke, the little saiyan had performed a multiform technique, and dashed out, ready to use all six clones to pummel Turles into a pulp. One clone thrust his right knee up, catching Turles on his chin. Another mule kicked him in the chest. Then another whipped his left fist back, and plowed it into Turles's right temple. While the flurry of clones did push him back, Turles felt little pressure, smacking each clone off of him without effort. The red saiyan then grabbed the original kid by the right ankle, and threw him at one of his clones. The kid rebounded off the clone, while the clone receded back into his body, and the kid hit another. Not unlike a pinball, the kid hit his clones, and rebounded to another and then another. When the kid hit the fourth clone of himself, he managed to regain control, and then stop his flight. But before he could react, Turles had already grabbed the remaining clone by the ankles, and rushed downwards, smashing the clone over the original kid's head. A crater formed underneath, deepened by the dazed kid's body, and the clone on top. The two beings merged as one again, and the kid held his head in pain.
"Pathetic, brat. Just awful," Turles grunted, a scowl on his face. The kid, hearing this, became infuriated. He burst through the crater, and charged up his energy, and then centering it into his body. His aura glowed blue, and then sparked with lightning. Turles began to flare his energy as well, when the kid suddenly vanished. "Wha-?" was all the red saiyan was able to utter, when the kid buried his right fist into Turles's gut. The kid smirked, his eyes turning cold. But all that faded after he realised Turles was fine. The spidery cracks from the punch were no real sign of pain for the red saiyan, and Turles kicked the saiyan whelp away. After a double backflip, the kid landed with another ready energy attack.
"RX Cannon!" the kid screeched, lobbing an orange ki ball at Turles, who again remained undeterred. The ball burst, but only kicked up some dust. Turles was smiling at the kid's efforts. Then the red saiyan laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?! HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the young saiyan began to scream, pushing his body to its maximum. His blue aura shuddered violently, and then turned pink. The young warrior then focused all his ki into his left hand, and thrust his arm forward, forming a gun shape. His right hand clasped on his left wrist, and his body lightly glowing orange, the child yelled even louder. "Brutal LASER! HAAAAH!"
The beam shot forth, vaporizing the land right under it, and heading straight for Turles's face. Turles, however, was still grinning. The light began to envelope the red skinned saiyan, tinting him orange.
'I got 'em now!' the child thought, grinning.
On Earth, Kami looked over at all the Earthen warriors before him, and smiled, holding his staff. "You all have surpassed both Mr. Popo and myself, aside from Videl, Lanfan, and Nam... And I need to attempt something that requires each of you..." Kami gestured for Upa first, who stepped up. The Earth's guardian placed a hand on the young Native American, and Upa felt power rushing through him. His aura unwillingly flared up around his body, and his power increased immensely. Upa walked back to the group, astounded. "Yajirobe..." Yajirobe shrugged, and carried his chicken leg with him. The process was repeated, and then eventually every warrior had their potential unlocked.
"You are now free to hone your skills wherever you desire. Thank you!"
Every human on the lookout bowed, and then promptly flew off.
Kami closed his eyes. The Earth was in dire need of Goku, soon. Kami had predicted it. 'Please hurry back, Earth's savior...'
In space...
"Lord Frieza, we have sent out soldiers to conquer Earth..." A lowly soldier bowed and informed the evil Arcosian prince. "You should have it within 3 months."
"Excellent," Frieza smiled maliciously, taking a swig of red liquid.
The soldier bowed again, and left.
Frieza's hoverchair rotated to a screen, which flashed and shown pictures of Earth, all of which didn't show any wasteland. A small box shown the entire planet rotating on its axis.
"It is quite a beautiful planet, is it not, Zarbon? Dodoria?"
"Yes, sire," Zarbon agreed.
"Without a doubt, sire," Dodoria grinned, then added, "A planet like that would make the inhabitants weak, though, right?"
"Indeed, Dodoria," Frieza replied. "A vacation spot for sure. And the gravity is shockingly low..." Frieza closed his eyes. "I'd say the value is high, though there are some minor flaws... and then, there's that other thing..."
"Sire?" Zarbon asked.
"It's fine. I'll attend to it when it comes."
'I'm waiting, super saiyan,' Frieza thought to himself, opening his eyes.
