As cliché as this might sound, I used to think I was like an old west character. Dad's westerns and mom's book all suggested that there was a black hat out there that I would meet. He would be everything I wouldn't be. The same movies that I showed you son. Everything seemed simple back then, but I realize they weren't. My dad sat in front of the TV all the time and drank when he wasn't on mission. I always assumed that he was a white hat. Then, I learned about the things he did and his father and his father before him. It wasn't until after I had a UNIT uniform on of course. Maybe that would have changed things? He said he did them for me and my mom, but I did want to hear it. I wanted to believe in the dream of the man not the real him. I suspect that you want to hear something similar that I was a white hat a good man who died pure and noble. I really wish Gohan, I could have been that man for you. Truth is I'm not who you think I was. I killed people, whether they were armed or not. Women and children in a village that was going to give us up to the Empire. I also killed a man who trusted me. I've done wrong, very wrong. Things that you can't take back. Worse yet I don't really regret my actions nor am I asking for your forgiveness in this. It isn't a son job to make up for his Father's sins. Mine are my own not yours. The unfortunate truth is I would do these things again even if you hated me for it. In a way we are doomed to be who we are. Doomed by fate and chance. Doomed by genes and luck. Angry and broken beyond repair. You're going to want to make excuses for me but don't. Don't lie to yourself like I did. I was a bad man that did bad things for good reasons sometimes. I was a murderer and not worthy of veneration. I've been told that children follow your example not your word. God, I hope that not true because here is what I have to tell you. Don't be like me, a murderer like me. Now I'm not your real father genetically speaking. That might be a shock, but you're a smart boy. I had the draft for this letter in my mind for ages and I finally decide it was right to tell you this at the end. Now that I'm dead I guess I'm less fearful of your mother disappointment. She was the strong one of us. She'll take it hard but not as hard as Mai might. But don't worry their getting their own letters. Now this is the most important thing I've got to tell you. You're going to be angry and fully of rage I'm guess. Now hear me please. Don't hate him. My guess is it would be some kid that had been lied to about what was right and wrong his entire life. The emperor nor Teal would probably kill me but if they did well their fucking animals and don't deserve you going down to their level. But it is more than likely going to be as I described. As hard it is going to be, I don't want you to kill him because you don't owe me revenge. I've spent my entire life dreaming of revenge but I long since realized that it won't make me feel better. It may even just feel like justice, but truth is I don't think justice is a thing anymore. Killing him is not what I want you might feel you need; truth is it'll just haunt you. Now take what you need from me and my life. Trash what needs to be trashed. Burn my body and scatter the ashes to the wind. I'm dead don't keep me hanging around. I know your angry and sad, but truth is I'm sort of happy that you're reading this. I never wanted to outlive you. Find your future. Be the white hat I couldn't be. Find someone. Live just live.

The black gauntlet that held the blood-stained grip it a little tighter. It considered just crumbling it but didn't as he behold the dead body in front of him.

Earlier…

Tarble was yelling at Gohan "Keep pushing…" Gohan had a gold aura his fists were clenched as he was screaming out. The clouds were shifting above. The planet was trembling as he went. "Keep the images in your mind. Your family is dying Gohan! You have to do something about it! He's killing them! He's raping them! You have the power!"

Gohan's scream got louder as the yellow light came to his hair and in a blind light the power came to him. The energy nearly knocked Tarble to the ground, but he managed to hold it. Tarble beheld his work.

Gohan was standing their looking at his fist and he glowed yellow with his hair up high. His eyes were a greenish blue.

Tarble clapped and walked over to him "Well congrats you've made your papa eagle proud my boy, you're a Super Saiyan. How does it feel?"

"It's… well… powerful."

"A lot ain't it."

"Yeah!"

Tarble thinking about the power he was sensing "Shit! I think your actual stronger than me know. It's disappointing."

"Well, you wanted me to surpass you right?"

Tarble put up his hands "Yeah but not this quickly. Now we have to work on getting you passed this point."

Gohan blurted out "Passed This Point!?"

"Yeah, both him and some of his children like Remus, Livy and Gracchus have gone this point. Not too meant whatever weirdness King Kai was telling me about."

"Weirdness?"

"Something about Towa, demon god, Beerus, Supreme Kai, blah, blah, blah. The only thing I got from it was that your bio-monster was looking at a way to get stronger through demon powers or something. That's why he hasn't been directly going after us he's been a busy man by sounds of it."

"None of that sounded good."

"No, it doesn't but focus on this. Try turning Super Saiyan it off and on. I want you to get use to the feel…" He stopped mid-sentence as he saw a ship landing off in the distance. He sorts recognized it at an old Galactic Patrol vessel of the UPA it was saucer shaped.

"Never mind turn it off and come with me I think the President actually sent someone who could fight." Gohan power down.

In a rush the two came to the spot where the ship had landed. Chi-Chi and the other were waiting for.

Tarble landed right next to Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi "I don't sense any one really powerful. By the way was that."

"Your boy is golden Cheech." (Then he yelled at the ship.) "Alright enough waiting. Come on out of there or we'll blast you out."

As he said this the door to the ship opened out and a man dress in a Galactic Patrol uniform came out. He was short with yellow bug like eyes a light blue face and purple hairless scalp. He looked positively beaming with happiness. He somehow gave of the aura like he was a small child having been given a mission to save the galaxy and was about to succeed.

He put his hands up in the air like he was scoring a goal or something and said out loud in a sing-song way "Mission accomplished. 100% completion. Total success. Winning!"

The group was a little stunned not sure what to say. That was when the rest started coming out.

The first one out was a short blonde haired dark eyed woman who Bulma gasped at seeing. She was quite irate about something until seeing Bulma the two ran at each other and hugged each other as hard as they could.

They didn't really talk so much as cry together which only got loud and joined in when the doctor came out of the ship. Old doctor Briefs looked as though he were ninety now. He was thin the bags around his eyes were black. He looked frail but that didn't stop him from running and joining in with his daughters.

Trunks who was standing right next to all of this was pulled into the family hug by Bulma and managed to get the idea of who these two were to him. There was a mixture of sadness and happiness in all of this.

Tarble asked out loud "Wait what's going on."

Bill watched this shook his head like a smiled for a second and said, "Family reunion."

Two more human figures were emerging as Chi-Chi asked "Wait? That's doctor Briefs but who's that?"

Bill took a swig then looked far more serious as he saw two men approaching him and said as an afterthought "Tights, Bulma sister."

Everyone Chi-Chi, Gohan and Mai all three shouted out "SISTER?!" at the same time. This was the first time they were hearing this.

"She had a sister all this time."

"Yeah, I know right you figure that would have come up right?"

Mai was nonplused "If this were a work of fiction, I'd call it bad writing on the authors part."

Tarble shrugged "Yeah I know right a random unmentioned sibling showing up out of the blue its odd."

The two men stopped, and saluted Bill and he knew their faces instantly "Captain Willard and Lieutenant Colby. Your two faces are not what I was expecting to see ever again. I guess UNIT isn't fully dead yet."

Willard "We weren't expecting to see you either Colonel Stryker."

"Colonel?"

"Before General Corman was killed by the MO he made you a Colonel sir. Lucas is dead so I guess that makes you the highest ranked one left."

"Colonel Stryker huh… same rank as my dad. I guess I turned out just like him."

"Sir?"

He waved his hand "Nothing. How did you know we were here and how did you find us?"

In the sky above an Imperial supercarrier the 'Order' appeared soon followed by the 'Faith' and the 'Sloth' along with a massive imperial fleet.

Colby sighed "Sorry Colonel but we learned it from them. They have orders to kill everyone on this planet if you run."

Willard continued "The UPA is sending a fleet and reinforcements but they won't arrive for a good hour or two."

Gohan panicking touched his father shoulder and said, "Dad we can't run."

Bill looked at Gohan like he was seeing him for the last time "Your right I guess we can't run from this anymore. We will stand and we will fight."

The doors to the meeting room on the 'Faith' opened up. Teal and Videl marched in with his black guard behind him. Teal had a smile on his face. The officers hieled him as Romulus stayed seated along Remus.

"Uncle why have you come to us?"

"Its simple Nephew. I just got a call from the orange imbecile of a certain planet that told me exactly the location of Tarble, our wayward Prince, the smartest woman in the universe and our runaway bride. And he also didn't even ask me for anything." (He chuckled.) "Fucking idiot, art of the deal my ass."

Romulus knowing the answer "Then why aren't you telling us it?"

Teal shrugged "I haven't been shot at for a while now. I know I'm getting up their but I'm not ready to give up on the fun of killing shit yet. You kids have been having all of the fun and I want in. I didn't become a soldier and swear my undying fidelity to Kakarrot Gero to die of old age. More importantly me and Bill have a score to settle so I'm in. Its why me and your father get along so, well we both know what we want out of life that is brutality, savagery, glory and a violent end to cap it all off. It's what any truth warrior in this universe wants." Teal smashed his black gantlets together and sat down opposite Romulus.

Romulus sat motionless then put his black gantlets together nodded then said, "Fine Uncle. You have a deal."

Teal smacked the table "Great I love it when shit comes together. Pumpkin…" (Videl looked at her sort of father like she had seen a ghost. Teal didn't seem to notice.) "I'm riding into battle with you. Oh, and my Prince… Make sure they know what will happen to the population if they run. I figure a massacre will get them to stick around. They do have big bleeding hearts. Ericama." He grinned at him then left with Videl.

The two were marching down the hallway as Videl was sweating a bit "Are we really going to kill everyone on the planet if they run?"

Teal still grinning shook his head "No. Whether or not they run were killing everyone on that planet. What's with you? You damn well know how this works."

"They invited us."

"I made no promises. We owe them nothing and they are scum that the universe with be cleaner once rid of. We are cleansing the universe. That's our job you know this."

Videl hesitating "I…know that but… Well, I need to ask you if there is something important you need to tell me?"

Teal sighed "Like what?" he stopped and looked at her questioningly. He seemed instantly frustrated.

"You know something big and important that might be really important to me. Like about my life or something."

Teal shock his head "Uh maybe you been unmarried for too long. I mean I've must have been too absent or something. Once we're done with this, you'll be married like a good girl to like Remus or Gracchus or one of them. I'm guessing I've given you too much freedom. It's time that you start breeding and shit. I've my children become odd. You being a commando and you're brother is just too soft and feminine. Getting shot might fix him. You know, he is now just Livy's plaything, and he enjoys it. Its time I get you both on the right track."

Videl eyes had gone dim as she heard his words and knew he was never going to tell her willingly. Videl "Is that all father?"

"Yeah. I think we figured out how things are going to go."

Videl nodded thinking deeply said to herself "Yeah, I think we did."
