A few years later…
The sun sets on the golden palace of New Saiyan Empire. Valla Halla it's called but it is unfinished at the moment but growing as it replaces the countryside with its opulent buildings and gardens. It already has a zoo's worth of animals in the gardens representing almost every biome on Earth. The buildings themselves is a mix of Roman and Chinese with both old world and new world sensibilities.
In short, the scene is that of unspeakable beauty all being overseen by a Palm haired man as he punches the air of the gravity chamber at thirty times Earth's gravity. Over the loudspeaker a nasally voice speaks.
"My lord it is dinner time."
"Excellent." He quickly turns off the gravity chamber and emerges out were his Attendant, guards and servants all of whom are women are waiting. They are all ready and waiting to clap if he says something clever or does some feat of strength.
One of his attendants speaks to him "My lord as you ordered General Teal has been given weekly updates." The Attendant is dressed quite lavishly in silken robes. She has on a myriad of gems on her necklace, earrings and rings.
"Ah good."
"He reports that the work of hunting down of dissidence is going well, but that the 'V' symbol continues pop up in the city's streets and the towns."
Kakarrot sneers and clenches his teeth in frustration at this information.
"Is there a problem my Emperor?"
"You know nothing of human history Ava. It is message meant for me. It in fact means victory. It is to tell us that we surrounded and that this is not over. Tell Teal to summarily execute all those who tag with the 'V' symbol. It may in flame more resistance but there is no outside force that they are relying to come to their rescue. Meaning we have the aid of fear on our side. Before we begin our war on the greater universe, we must crush them, so we can have unity. Tell Teal must turn up the pressure and get our hands-on Dr. Brief."
She heiled and said, "Yes my Emperor it will be done."
Kakarrot arrived at the massive meal before him. The galley had with him all his wife all twenty of them. They were now from almost every spot on the compass. His wives were from the bitter cold and the scorching deserts. He planned to marry and have children with all the tribes of man.
He sat at the head of the table king of the castle. To his right was his first wife and family of Yurin, four-year-old Romulus and Remus.
Romulus had his green wild hair in a long mane was forming. His three blue eyes were bright like jewels. He was a lively boy who worshiped his father and had already begun to imitate him. He like to be commanding and be feared.
Remus had his father's tail and his mother had cut his black hair into a palm shape one could guess just for reverence sake. Remus looked a like a young Kakarrot all his features were right. However, what wasn't right was his temperament. He was a happy boy but shy. He liked animals and he was gentle also carefree.
The two boys were inseparable constantly Remus when scared or frightened would seek out Remus's bed. Instead of his mother's bed.
To his left was Tanman and her three-year-old daughter Livy. Livy also had her father's hair and tail but has her mother's blue eyes.
She was already showing signs of beauty and brilliance even this young. She was already at such an age showing the traits of her father. She was bossy, territorial and cruel. She had already killed two of her pets by crushing them for not listening to her.
Along his third family of Suno who had been captured and encouraged to join the winning side i.e. she was a prisoner who just had, had the monster's fourth child Gracchus. The infant had his mother's eyes and hair but had the Saiyan tail.
He was a loud baby and an angry child from the start. Out of spite he destroyed things around the palace. He would crush his toys rather then give them up. He regularly attacked staff for attempting to discipline him.
At the other end of the table is Dr. Gero. One of only a hand full of men allow near his son the Emperor's harem. The old scientist looked a younger man now. The last couple of years have been a dream for him.
The world had been his oyster with totally world domination he has access to unlimited resources. He has had plenty of human guinea pigs to test whatever he wants out on. He was alright on track to make far more powerful androids then he had ever made before. The twins that they had acquired from the orphanage will make excellent killer's he thought as he began to dig in.
The dinner had course after course as in little over an hour the monster consumed enough meat to feed a small village. The tension in the room was thick. Tanman and Yurin were given each other death stares. While Suno was giving Kakarrot a hateful glare which he was blissfully uncaring of.
Remus and Gracchus ate like their father and like a Saiyan would. The two shoved food down their throats as fast as they could/ Romulus was trying to imitate them but was failing and choking in the process. Livy wasn't eating like a Saiyan instead eating like some high-class princess which was what she was after all.
Dr. Gero asked his boy "How is the gravity chamber working for you?"
Kakarrot cleared his throat, the only person he would do this for "Quite well I've been taking easy considering all the work I've had to do but I'm already well past ten times Earth's gravity. I'm at or beyond the strength I would have had on Planet Vegeta."
"That is good to hear. My child had grown quite strong. One wonders if you need your old grandpa at all."
Kakarrot seem worried by this statement he even stopped eating "Now that's not true Grandpa. We still have galactic conquest and Frieza to deal with. Your machines are going to challenge me again."
Some time went by when throw a window flew into the room Piccolo current Guardian of the Earth. He cut an imposing figure. The children all seemed to notice him while Kakarrot noticed but seemed annoyed by the sudden interruption. Remus seemed enamored by the figure while the other two aware children seem annoyed that this man could be so informal with their divine father.
Kakarrot not looking said to the demon "I told you not to interrupt me when I am with the family or eating, fucking or training. Staff meeting go right ahead for me's sake those are the only time you're the preferred option. Now aren't you going to tell me what is so important?"
Piccolo very lightly bowed "I've have done a 'small' bit of work."
"A threat to us?"
"I suppose if you want to call them that. A blue dwarf and his three back up dancers came to the lookout trying to steal the dragon ball from me and kill me. It didn't end so well for them, but it highlights the fact that we still do have enemies on Earth. A fact you would know if you left your Palace lately."
"Does it now? You have only six balls in your possession. The seven has been hidden. You took care of them and even if you didn't, they still wouldn't have a complete set of them. I have had my men searching the Earth. But our radar won't tell us where it is, and we don't have Bulma's radar either. So, it's a moot point. No one from what we can tell has any idea of its whereabouts. So, what are you complaining about?"
"Kami's has been having visions from what I can tell."
Kakarrot looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I am connected to him, even with him in the bottle. His visions tell me something big is on the way."
Kakarrot now very intrigued asked "Frieza big?"
Piccolo shook his head "No way to tell. It's vague. I just know that we have trouble heading our way."
"Good that means a real fight. It's time my boy's get a taste of blood. All my children deserve the taste of battle."
Elsewhere on a purplish lush world…
The boy was pushed back his tail whipping in the wind. He was wearing a small version of the UNIT normal clothes complete with army pants with a hole for his tail. His face was not a scowl more a face of confusion. His mother had given his favorite four-star shiny ball in his little world that she had said was his uncle Hicks's power armor. Now Gohan was trying to get it back.
Gohan didn't understand why his mother was so insistent on him training. He wasn't Trunks who liked to fight. He was a timid boy scared of most things. He liked stories and was working hard on trying to read. Gohan was a quiet boy.
The eight-year-old Trunks however, talked a bunch whenever he could about his brave martyred father. He loved a curved sword that his mother had kept of his father. She had tried to hide it from him, but he always found it.
Gohan loved his sort of older brother. He spoke of Earth of home. Of things he never knew. His entire world consisted of less than twenty people. The only people he ever knew. He understood that other people he had just never meet them.
It was only smiles he ever saw from them. He knew that under that gold visor Hicks must be smiling. The only person who was ever sad was his father. He never seemed happy when Gohan wasn't around.
He charged at Hicks to grab back his shiny ball. He was a lot faster than Hicks but even with his speed Hicks's suit was still stronger. He knew his mother, Trunks and Mai were all watching because of this he grew frustrated. He was again pushed off and began to weep.
The visor came down and Hicks looked a guilty man. Trunks looked embarrassed, Mai looked sympathetic, but Chi-Chi she looked less like a mother but more the frustrated teacher.
Gohan looked to his mother to see her face and then he started crying louder.
"I'm sorry kid." He said as he offers the ball back to him. "Here you go. No hard feelings, right?"
Mai face palmed as Gohan stopped crying and grabbed hold of ball then gave the man a smile.
"Soldier what do you think you are doing?"
"What? He wanted his toy back."
Mai sighed and shook her head as Chi-Chi came over to her son.
Gohan smiled and showed her the ball "See mommy I got uncle's ball back."
Chi-Chi then sighed then kneeled to be at eye level with her son. "But is it how I asked you to get it?" Gohan sadly shook his head 'no' "I asked you to take it out of his hands."
"Well I sort of did."
"No, he gave it to you after you started crying. I know you don't understand but you have to get stronger."
"But you're so strong mom and so is Trunks…"
"It doesn't matter whether I'm strong or anyone else. You need to be strong. You need to be able to defend yourself. Not everyone in this universe is like our family." She turned his head to see the ruins out in distance of where they were on this alien world. "Their used to be people here. Not people that you would recognize but people. They are all gone now. Wiped out by a monster or monsters. This isn't the only place we have found like this. This is a dangerous universe you need to be ready…"
The ground shook and the odd-looking birds took off from the woods and to the air. A tree fell, and screaming was heard.
Mai's visor to her suit came down. Chi-Chi stood up while feeling the situation and said, "We have trouble!"
Mai then said "Hicks get the kids into the ship. Tell Ferro to prep the ship and get the others."
Trunks then loudly and desperately stated "Sensei let me stay I can help!"
Chi-Chi dictatorially said to the young boy "Trunks you promised to listen to me now I'm telling you to get in the damn ship! I need you to protect your mother."
Trunks listening for a change flew to the nearby ship while Gohan grabbed hold of Chi-Chi leg. Hicks tried to pull the half Saiyan off her, but his grip was like steel. Gohan was crying and said, "Please mommy I don't want the monsters to get you!"
"Gohan mommy is going to be fine. Now get to the ship!"
Gohan shook his head. Chi-Chi was about to shout when a body came crashing from the woods and landed in front of the group. It took a second, but Chi-Chi recognized who it was Stryker. His armor looked like it had been through a car crash.
A cruel and calm voice came through the woods that said, "As I told you, you are trespassing and there is a penalty for that."
He came through the woods revealing himself a Saiyan. He had a black long mane for hair. His tail wiped in the air signaling his curiosity. His eyes were black and beady. His smile was cruel and very familiar to Chi-Chi, and Stryker as was his armor. His armor black and gold with his boots and fingerless gantlets.
Chi-Chi broke a sweat seeing this familiar evil specter. Bill's eye was so small through shielded by his visor. If they could see his face, they would know to what he thought of the moment a waking nightmare. Mai merely looked determined, she knew death was in front of her, but it didn't matter.
There was a moment of stillness as neither side moved. Raditz seemed to absorb the fear that he was receiving from the group with relish. But the moment his eyes wandered downwards to see Gohan, and they went wide. Chi-Chi sprang into action.
She pushed off Gohan and lunged at Raditz in an explosion of anger. This may have not been Kakarrot but it was close enough. He seemed to be surprised by her speed and strength. He was punched dead center in the gut and thrown far away, his eyes bulging from their sockets. He smashed into a rock far away and Mai rushed to help Bill up.
He groaned as she did so and in a sort of plea said, "Apone, Crowe, Wierbowski their all gone."
Mai face twitched. Three of the team were dead just like that. They hadn't seen much of anyone in the last couple years. It may have been a disappointment at the time but now it looked like a blessing to her clearly, as they weren't ready for this.
Mai quickly said, "We got to get out of here."
Bill nodded in agreement and said Chi-Chi "We got to go."
Chi-Chi looked at him. Her face spoke of offence she seemed ready to spit. It wasn't hard to know why. She was tired of running. It had stung to run now there was a chance to fight back. It was then that she heard Gohan. He was crying as Hicks was now trying to grab him and pull him away back to the ship.
Gohan crying said loudly "I want to stay and help mommy!"
His words made the decision for her. She couldn't risk Gohan, they had to run.
Chi-Chi barked out to them "Let's go!"
She said as movement was heard from where she had laid out the Saiyan. He was getting back up. Gohan complied as Mai help Bill while Chi-Chi covered their retreat. They just made it to the ship as Raditz reappeared looking for revenge. Before he could fire Chi-Chi fired at him and they took off.
Raditz was able to do nothing as in midair Chi-Chi jumped into the ship and it took off into the atmosphere and then into space.
He was left their growling and clutching his gut. Her punch had hurt a lot. His armor was cracked and not just from her. Those toys that those aliens had been wearing had hurt also. He still couldn't believe that they had killed that squad of Frieza's soldiers. They were so scared of him though he could tell, well of at least his tail. Tales of his now dead people must have spread far and wide he thought.
Funny thing though is how Saiyan looking without the masks and gismos they looked. The faces the bodies even the hair for the most part. Hell, the kid even had a tail… A tail… the smell. Vegeta was going to want to hear about this.
It was just then that the sounds of the familiar asshole spoke up.
Vegeta asked looked quite annoyed, "You said that you were having a problem weakling?"
Raditz looked. Vegeta was in his white armor and gloves, his blue jumpsuit and new scouter because he is Royalty. He also had on his smug smile and bad attitude. He thought his shit didn't stink, Raditz could swear.
Next to Vegeta was Nappa in his armor gold and blue. The old man was also pretty smug thinking himself better then him. He was also the reason that Vegeta head was so far up his own ass. He could go on and on about their dead race. Raditz could careless their people were dead that was a fact he knew.
"Well third class do you not have anything to say? Or am going to have to start beating you until you talk?"
Raditz bowed to him "Prince I ran into some trouble. Me and a couple of boys were ordered to investigate some intruders. I'm the only one left and they got away."
Vegeta brow raised in anger and he spit out a question "Who ordered you?"
"Cui ordered me my lord."
Vegeta with his ire now raised shout "Cui thinks he can order my subjects around?! You are my property moron! You only take orders from me got it?!"
Raditz cringed in anticipating a hit. Vegeta when angry just loved hitting him. Raditz feeling the punch coming blurted out the 'real' information he had learned "Prince I think their maybe more Saiyans!" Vegeta punch stopped in its track.
Vegeta truly intrigued barked to him "Explain!"
"The intruders they looked at like us. A child of their rank even had a tail. They had only a slightly different smell. I don't know there were a lot of gaps in our history with the destruction of Sadala, Nappa can a test to that. Maybe a tribe or others or something are still out there!"
Vegeta looked at Nappa and he said to him "Well he's not wrong. Our people had advance tech before the Legendary Super Saiyan blow that Civilization up. Before the planet was destroyed, we had more diversity it was after all only one tribe that made it to Planet Vegeta."
Vegeta looked interested a plot was forming in his head "So, I might have more subjects? Hnm Raditz you said a day ago that you had a brother?"
Raditz nodded quickly "Yes Prince."
"Turn off your scouters all of you." He and all of them did so. "Go find him. Me and Nappa will hunt these possible Saiyans down."
"What for my Prince?"
"An idea has struck me. It's time we start getting ready for our revenge. If there are more Saiyans then with an army I can do what my father should have done, launch our rebellion."
Raditz and Nappa eyes when wide and said in unison "Rebellion!"
"We know who killed our people and is time we stop serving him and start serving ourselves again. To do that we need as many Saiyan's and we can. So, come to think of it maybe Nappa you should get my brother?"
Nappa shook his head "No good he's weak and not a fighter. He hasn't the spine for this work."
Vegeta sighed and sneered "Your right our course. We need warriors not cowards. With any luck we will have an army at our back when we avenge our people."
"What about our assignment's?"
"We aren't scheduled to show ourselves to Frieza again for over a year. That's plenty of prep time. As far as Frieza will be concerned nothing will be amiss until we are ready to plunge the knife in. So, keep your traps shut only tell who we need to tell. Now follow my order's. We are not the last of a died people any longer, we are a forerunner to a revived race that shall bring terror once again to the universe."
The two bowed and the three were off. With Raditz heading to Earth and Vegeta along with Nappa heading after the last hope of mankind.
On Earth…
Videl was playing with the wooden sword that she managed to make in the cellar in the dark. It was rare to see much light these days. Dad had said they needed to stay underground. She had preferred when they were in the woods. But 'they' had gotten too close, so the family had to move.
Her family had to move a lot 'they' were always hunting them. She hadn't seen many other kids. The Resistance fighter were usually kind they all tended to have this stare though like they were looking at you far away.
They had taught her somethings. That she kept to heart. Never wander, never trust anyone with a uniform or anyone who wasn't in camp. If you hear loud noises play hide and seek under whatever large object you can find.
They were even teaching her how to use a knife. It was okay to lie to adults that weren't dad or Resistance members. They even taught her how to cry to create a distraction when they play their games with the grey uniformed guys in the helmets.
They did this thing where you grabbed them from behind and some red would come out and they would be dead it was so much fun. She had gotten good and the crying and the quietly hiding. Not a peep they said and that's just what she did.
As she was playing, she heard a thud then a bunch of crackle from outside tons of them. She knew what this meant 'stormtroopers' the soldiers called them. So, she played the game they taught her too. Taking her toy, she went to her hiding spot a false panel in a wall. She put on her mask that they taught her to wear and she waited.
She heard screaming and more thuds. Grownups like to play so loudly she thought as she waited. The noises stopped it was quiet, but she knew to stay put. There was no light all so all she could do was listen. Then she heard a tap some ways away that kept coming closer. A tingle of fear crept in it was the 'stormtroopers' the other adults had won.
She heard the hollow tap on her door they knew where she was, and they had found her. She clutched at her sword prepared to stab at the face that was going to come through the door. The door opened, and a blinding light shined through and into her eyes.
She couldn't see as a hand grabbed her. She struggled and stabbed at it, but she knew that she had been pulled out of her hole.
She ripped off her mask to bite the hand, but the air stuck her eyes and mouth it was choking her as more hands grabbed her and restrained her. They pushed her to the ground, but she struggled until she heard a voice say to her "Well, well, well I come looking for the famous Dr. Brief's and instead a find a rather violent little black-haired girl dressed in rags with pigtails."
She looked it was a man in a black power suit he stood tall above her she could not see his eyes, but she could feel them. He asked her, "Little girl what is your name?" She merely stared menacingly at him.
He chuckled at her "My name is Teal, General Teal. You know girly you remind me of a ex of mine and well hell current girlfriend of mine. You have quite a bit of fire in you. You know fire is one of man's first and greatest weapon very useful. You understand that I'm not in a good mood considering I'm not getting what I was ordered to get. Right?"
She spat at him as she still struggled as the stormtroopers had a hard time keeping her down.
Teal didn't seem angry instead amused by this and said to her "Well that just won't do. Now I have to either kill you or promote you." He took a pistol out and pointed at her head smiling. She stopped struggling and just stared at him. "Good you understand what this is. This my girly is political power. It is the only real form of it or at least it was until my couz proved otherwise. This allows me the choice to make that fire go out in you. There is more than one way to do it though. But this is well quicker and easier than most. It means that a girl that could overpower a bunch of grown ass men is just as easy to kill as a bug. You are easy to kill just as I am. But I don't think you or I want to do that. Me because it would be a waste of good fire. So, congrats you now have a new daddy who ain't no traitor to the cause. Well now let's pack her up."
Videl felt a rifle butt hit the back of her head and everything went black.
So, lots of bad news but at least they got away but Raditz is coming to Earth and Vegeta is after them.
