423Chapter 74. AWAKENING OF SAIYAN RACE.
Third week of October 808.
Bra and Goten returned from their honeymoon trip, her four weeks pregnancy had started to radiate a strong Ki. Finding a new home with all their belongings was a shocking surprise; they were more than happy to see they had a whole huge house to share with the kids. It had been a hard work to do and their family had done it in just three weeks.
Bulma had been working in the Saiyan project, it was hard to make that spaceship function properly, but she was a genius and she could do it. She had been trying to locate the saiyan children for about four years.
Blue tail.
First days of April 809.
Five months and a half-later Bra gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Bran. She had soft blue hair and blue eyes. She was 50 Saiyan, but she had a blue tail.
Vegeta smirked and looked at Goku. "Told you... Saiyan race has an opportunity to survive."
Goku smirked back. "You don't know how right you are."
Vegeta raised his eyebrows in suspicion, but then, he shrugged and walked to the baby girl. "She is a powerful one."
Goku grinned looking at the expression on Vegeta's face when he looked at the little blue tail of the baby. "Surprised?"
Vegeta leaned in the wall, looking from his daughter to the newborn baby. He was in utter shock. "Wh… What's that?"
Bra smiled softly, looking at her father while she caressed the blue appendix.
Bulma smirked, crossing her arms. "Don't you see? It's a T-A-I-L."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, shooting daggers to his wife. "I know it's a tail, woman! I mean what the hell is happening here? I never saw a blue tail before!"
Bulma smirked deeper, walking to the spot where he was leaning. "It's a beautiful tail, don't you dare to say the opposite."
Vegeta grunted, glancing from his daughter to his wife. "It's a tail… at least."
Bra grinned, cuddling the little baby in her arms; knowing her father; that comment had been a compliment indeed.
Goku placed a hand in Goten' shoulder. The angry frown on his son's face revealed he didn't take Vegeta's comment very nice.
Bulma argued with Vegeta a whole week. He tried to mask his disappointment about the little girl being just 50 Saiyan but Bulma knew him better and she didn't drop the subject until he ended threatening with leaving to the forests until she calmed down.
Bulma had to swallow her anger when he said, "She'd lose the privilege of having a Royal mate, prince of all Saiyans living with her and under her roof." She had many harsh words to reply but he was royalty pissed off and she wouldn't risk their life together because of her or his pride.
Hope.
February 811.
Two years later Bra gave birth again. She swore to never have drink contests again. The consequences of that night had been a beautiful pure blood saiyan baby with spiky black hair and big black eyes. The story was repeating itself… Bran was identical to Bra and the new Saiyan baby had the same face and expression of Goten. They named him Gluten.
Vegeta was more than happy; it seemed mixing his blood with kakarrot's blood wasn't so bad after all. The Saiyan race would stay alive at least one or two more generations.
Technological advances.
Two years later. February, 813.
By this time, Bulma had reunited enough information to locate the planet Furture. She was working in a spaceship prototype. The planet where Furture was located required better conditions and fuel storage's capability.
She wasn't so sure about telling her friends about her newest invention. She didn't want Vegeta to go there, she didn't know what would be waiting for them; so, she decided to make a special automated spaceship. One with enough power and artificial intelligence to travel there, compile information, fix itself and come back to Earth. She knew it would take her at least one year more to do that.
She couldn't risk the new mission or her friends and family's life. Furture's location was an unknown galaxy; not even the time her son, Goku and Pan had been searching for the black dragon balls they had traveled so far, and she needed to be sure.
Two years later, she kept the secret of the spaceship from the Z gang, and sent it to Furture. She had estimated it would take 12 or 15 months to get there, but it took only 13 months. The distances didn't let her read the lectures of the ship about the environment of Furture, but the ship sent a tiny lecture and Bulma knew the spaceship was scanning Furture surface.
June 816.
Three months later, the memory was almost full and the ship returned to Earth. Bulma was excited, she could play the videos and read the research of the many robots she had programmed to collect information. Then, she would decide if she would allow Vegeta and Goku to go there and rescue the last survivors of the Saiyan race. She had estimated they would be almost 12 years old. She only hoped they weren't evil or she would be bringing the enemy to their planet… one single little mistake and the enemy would be at their home.
December 816.
Unfortunately, six months later, in its way back to Earth the ship exploded. Everything was lost. She started working in a new spaceship in secret; not even Vegeta knew why she was expending so many time in her lab.
Success.
February 817.
Two months later, she sent the improved spaceship again. She wasn't so young anymore; she had to hurry up if she wanted to know the true about those saiyans and their planet.
March 819.
25 months later the spaceship landed in a desert zone. This time she informed the Z gang, earning a big lecture of each one of them. They understood at the end. She had been that way all her life and she wasn't planning to change any time soon.
The Z gang gathered around the ship. They didn't know what was waiting inside. There was a possibility some alien had infiltrated in the ship.
Vegeta, Goku, 18, Krilin, Yamcha, Piccolo, Uub, Tien, Trunks, Gohan, Goten and Pan scanned the ship, but they couldn't sense any Ki strong enough to be a threat; but there was the chance they were androids.
When the door opened, the Saiyans walked inside, finding just four robots full of information.
Two weeks later, Bulma knew everything she had to about Furture. It seemed the Furtureans were pacific. One of the pictures showed a little saiyan.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes; the expression on that boy wasn't the proper expression of a Saiyan. The Ki lecture hadn't reported such a big power to be a threat.
Who's next?
Goku was out of the question, even when he had offered himself. Bulma knew he had promised Chichi to stay; besides, he had been fighting to protect Earth so many times and she didn't want to be the one who take him away again and put his life on risk. Vegeta was out of the question too, just because she didn't want him to go, she wanted him by her side.
He had been demanding to go, he had been pushing her hard to do as he wanted, but she refused, and told him that Earth needed their guardians. The Z gang wouldn't be able to make it, they were old now and the single trip would take more than two years.
The kids were all out of the question too… they were too young, and she would never allow them to go in such a dangerous adventure. She would have to keep an eye on Pea, who tended to act a little like her mother. She could even remember Pea, seven or eight years ago, insisting about going to space.
The only option left was Gohan. She couldn't ask Trunks, Pan or Goten to go because they have a family to take care of; besides, they needed to stay here and protect Earth. Of course, Uub offered to go there and she accepted. He was strong enough and after fusing with Boo, it would be hard to kill him. Therefore, the team was formed with Gohan and Uub. Videl disagreed with Bulma, but she ended understanding Bulma's reasoning. They needed a Saiyan to go there; the furtureans needed someone of their race, someone they could trust in. At the same time it was dangerous to go there, it was risky to find they could go into ape's form and defeat their heroes.
Gohan and Uub both were kind. They wouldn't use violence if a choice would be given. They were trusty, powerful and strong, but they would have to learn some of the furturean signs and they would have to learn some Saiyan language too… there's where Vegeta's knowledge was required.
She smiled dreamily. If only those saiyans were compatible, they would be able to reproduce and maybe… oh God! Vegeta would be very happy… Many things had been taken away from him. This would be a way to return him something… something very valuable and his birthright of ruling the last saiyans in the Universe.
Stronger than you.
May 819. Vegeta had been training Gohan in the Saiyan signs, symbols and language. He didn't have a choice, both didn't have a choice if they wanted to bring back the lost Saiyan teens. Pea was furious, she wanted to go, but her parents and her grandparents had been VERY specific about it. She WAS NOT going to Space.
Thong smirked looking down at his sister. "Still thinking how to run away?"
Pea glared at him from the spot where she was sitting on the floor. "What do you care? You are not brave enough to go anyway…"
Thong frowned, slamming his back in her wall. "I'm not a coward Peanut… I want to go there… and maybe they will take me with them…"
Pea's jaw dropped. She lifted her head staring at him in shock. "What? That's not true! You're only telling me that because you know I want to go; they wouldn't take you there!"
Thong raised his left eyebrow, smirking. "And why not? I'm strong and I know how to fight."
Pea narrowed her eyes and stood up balling her hands. "That's not fair! I'm strong too! I fight better than you!"
Thong laughed sarcastically, leaning his head in the wall. "Of course not! Stop trying to prove yourself Pea, you are a girl, that's enough reason for them."
Pea's eyes watered, feeling her cheeks growing red. "…"
Thong lifted an eyebrow, still with a smirk on his face. The moment he saw his sister at the verge of tears he softened his gaze and lowered his head. "I'm not going either Pea."
Pea shot her eyes closed, fighting back her tears from falling. "I know."
Thong sighed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "We'll have to wait this time Pea, don't worry, there will be another chance in the future."
Pea stiffened at his show of affection. He was so hard with himself and everybody else; she wasn't used to his kindness. "There won't be another chance like this."
Thong brought her closer and hugged her. "How do you know?"
Pea shook her head, returning the embrace. "I just know it. I don't care if they don't want us to go, I'm going."
Thong blinked, pulling away from her. "Are you crazy? You'll never fool them! They know you want to go!"
Pea smirked, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. "I'm going."
Going to space.
Pea started laughing even when she didn't know if her grandpa or Uub would find her.
Everyone out there was chatting about the route, the trip and the furtureans. She heard some steps and the screech of the door opening. She kept silent, praying to Dende that they wouldn't find her hidden inside the left side of the control panel.
Gohan lifted his head and closed his eyes in deep concentration. He had almost forgotten about that… he didn't see her outside… she had to be here… some where… he opened his eyes and lifted his eyebrows to Uub, waving his hands in circles, telling Uub to scan the area.
Uub grinned maliciously… of course; she had to be here…
They started talking about the trip while they sensed the area, locating a small Ki in the left side of the ship.
Gohan grinned and lowered to the metallic floor, touching the left side of the panel… with a quick movement he pulled away the metallic square that covered that area and smirked. "Come on Pea, it's time to say goodbye to your grandpa…"
Pea squinted her eyes when she sensed her grandpa's Ki a few centimeters away from her, and then she tightened her lips, shaking her head. "Grandpa… I'm sorry… but I really want to go."
Gohan shook his head, grabbing softly her arm to help her out of that small space. "I'm sorry Pea, there's no place for you in this trip."
Pea pouted and then her temper exploded. "NO! I want to go! I'm small; I will fit in here and I know how to take care of myself!"
Gohan applied a little extra pressure on her arm and looked at her fixedly. "NO. You'll stay here and you'll take care of your grandma for me. It's dangerous Pea, I can't take you with us."
Pea slammed her fist in the closest wall but Gohan stopped her fist before it collided with the wall. "No, Pea, you can damage the ship."
Pea gritted her teeth, looking at him with teary and angry eyes. "My mother traveled with her grandpa too!"
Then Gohan smiled softly. "I know dear, that's why I knew you would be hidden here…"
She was going to argue when she heard the panic in her father's voice from outside. "WAIT! GOHAN! PEA IS IN THE SHIP!"
Everyone outside started laughing. Goten shook his head, holding his stomach. How could Trunks be so clueless? Everyone knew Pea was hidden in there! She was just like Pan.
Gohan opened the door and pushed Pea gently into Trunks arms. "Don't be so hard with her Trunks… Pan did the same thing, remember?"
Trunks hugged his daughter and then frowned. "We have to talk about this young lady…"
When the commotion ended, the spaceship was just a shimmer on the sky traveling at a light speed to its new destination: Furture.
Furture.
July 820.
13 months later, the spaceship landed in Furture. Gohan sighed, scanning the area. He didn't know where to start.
Uub put the helmet on and motioned for Gohan to do the same.
Gohan followed him and opened the spaceship doors.
The area seemed deserted. They had been flying the area for about 30 minutes and they couldn't find a thing. They missed the civilization in a valley among the mountains, convinced that it had to be in plain view because the robots didn't seem to have a problem locating the city. Soon, they saw a crater in the ground.
They landed, finding the crater was just a simulation. The black hole seemed to have no end, although they couldn't see anything, they knew that hole could be a way to get to the place where the furtureans lived.
They hovered off the ground and started descending, until they found a light. The city was there. Houses built in strange shape, small and with no difference among them.
The furtureans started running once they notice the weird people walking among them and forward the center of the city.
Soon, Gohan and Uub were face to face with the teen Saiyans, standing in front of them with a fighting stance. Behind the teens, there were three furtureans looking at them with confusion.
Gohan crossed his arms over his chest and bowed a little, activating the Saiyan Voice translator in his throat. "We came in peace. We are looking for the children of three Saiyans that visited our planet 15 years ago."
Dr. Koush's eyes flashed with confusion. His eternal nightmare became real. That man looking at them seemed to be a Saiyan, one without tail. He had spoken in Saiyan language; he could remember the language… the robot the clones had destroyed so long ago, spoke the Saiyan language a few times.
He had learned many things from Dr. Sorghum, the Seeda-jin. Even when his race wasn't a worrier or scientist race and his planet didn't have enough technology, he was a brilliant scientist. Dr. Sorghum had trained his group.
It was a pity the robot wasn't here to translate the language, but something was sure… One of them was Saiyan, part saiyan at least… and Saiyans were dangerous and cruel, they were and probably they're still killers without remorse.
The other one was different. He radiated something different… powerful but different. It remained him o the ancient magic they had once practiced.
Milo looked at Professor Koush, pondering if he should answer in the spirant, the universal language.
Koush guessed Milo's actions and grabbed his arm, shaking his head. Then, he glanced at Chester, telling him in silence to warn King Mirrot and Queen Bletta, in case those aliens tried to destroy their race.
Ottamoth looked at Gohan through narrowed eyes. Even when he had been raised in a peaceful environment, something inside him told him to protect their people until Death.
Selypa crossed her arms eyeing Gohan from head to toe. Something inside her had been touched… something in her blood dragged her to that male…
Beetz looked at Selypa through narrowed eyes. A deep frown over her face while she looked at Selypa. Something was happening to Selypa and she didn't know what, but it bothered her terribly.
Gohan noticed the looks Selypa was giving him and gulped. Just what he needed… a young saiyan female attracted to him…
Uub noticed Gohan's nervous state and looked from Gohan to the girls. Gohan seemed to be very uncomfortable, but he exactly couldn't point why.
Gohan raised his hand to his battle suit's pocket and pulled out some pictures of the saiyan community on Earth, and then he stretched out his hand motioning for Ottamoth to take them.
Ottamoth frowned and took the pictures, opening his eyes in shock. Those were Saiyans… like them.
When he recovered from the shock, he handed the pictures to Selypa, Beetz and then to the scientists.
Some minutes later, the scientist started talking to Gohan and Uub. They seemed not hostiles at all. The microcomputer on Gohan's wrist analyzed the language, finding a match in a matter of 30 minutes.
They stayed at the Saiyan's house for one month. Explaining every thing to the furtureans scientists. They offered their protection and their friendship, which people of Furture welcomed more than happy.
August 820.
15 days later, the Saiyan teenagers said good-bye to their protectors and friends, promising to return soon.
Their mothers knew this would happen some day; they were prepared and hugged their children, knowing they had raised those kids the best they could.
Those little saiyans were trusty, honest and kind. Furtureans knew they have a new ally against evil.
Gohan interchanged Earth coordinates with the furturean scientists, promising they would come back some day with technology. They wanted to keep in contact with them, to know about dangers or threats in the galaxy and to be able to communicate in case Furture was in danger.
EARTH.
July 821.
Two months before Gohan's ship arrived to Earth and without knowing this information; Pea stole Bulma' space ship. She was worried about her father and she didn't want to wait more. She knew Bulma was planning to send Goku and Vegeta after Gohan' space ship.
Bulma had told them Gohan and Uub would be able to communicate when they were a month's distance radio, and by this time, they had to be in that radio… if every thing was okay.
Bulma found Pea's note and called an urgent gathering to communicate the bad news. She knew it, she just knew it… Pea was as stubborn as Pan, as intelligent as Trunks and as willed as Vegeta.
Pan paled and grabbed Trunks arm tightly. She didn't say a word, she just spaced out with a blank face.
No one knew if she was more worried than angry, but no one wanted to find out.
Trunks held her tight, whispering love words to her ear. He soothed her a little with his actions, but after ten minutes, she started screaming in anger, sobbing at the same time.
Everyone in the room kept silent, until Goku spoke. "I'm going after her."
Chichi nodded in agreement. No one better than Goku to do that, he could locate her Ki and teleport there, bringing her back.
Trunks nodded with a thankful look on his face; even if the ship would break, Goku would be able to bring her back, and she would be sure with Goku around.
COMBINED STRATEGY.
Goku grinned carelessly, letting them know everything would be fine. He closed his eyes in deep concentration and after a while, he sighed, shaking his head lightly. "I can't find her… she must be wearing a Ki suppressor."
Pan started crying. Even when she knew Pea would be fine, she couldn't help to worry about the possible danger her daughter would be fighting alone. There was no Trunks to help her. She raised a hand to her temple and started rubbing it gently. If it wouldn't be for Trunks she would be dead… he had saved her life many times in that trip 26 years ago.
Vegeta leaned in the wall, crossing his arms. "You can locate people even if they are wearing those stupid bracelets, Kakarrot…"
Goku shook his head, stumping down in the couch. "I can't if she keeps her Ki lowered."
Piccolo glanced at the people in the room, and then cleared his throat. "Wearing a Ki suppressor combined with lowering your Ki is too much to handle… even for you Goku."
Goku frowned, he had to find her.
Vegeta smirked, raising his eyebrows. "She won't last long… she will let her guard down sooner or later… she has to sleep, isn't it Kakarrot?"
Goku's face lightened with a big grin. "RIGHT! You're right Vegeta… We will wait until night!"
The night came and neither Goku nor Vegeta sensed her. She had to be awake… maybe she was too smart… and she would wait until she was too far away before taking a break. That girl was smart and stubborn… but no one could win the combined powers of Vegeta and Goku.
Vegeta and Goku working as a team was something that no one wanted to miss. Together, they were the most powerful force in the Universe, physical and emotionally.
They didn't even need to fuse and become Gogeta… they were locked in the GR for two days, until Goku decided the mountains would be better. Vegeta agreed with Goku, for the first time in many, many years and they both parted to the mountains.
The forth day, a tiny Ki was located… Pea's Ki. Both smirked and Goku raised his hand to his forehead, grinning. "I'll bring her back."
UNEXPECTED VISITOR.
Goku appeared in front of her with a smile on his face, but the moment she turned around, he masked his happiness and looked at her seriously. "You didn't need to hide, Pea."
Pea looked at him and a light blush crept over her cheeks. "Maybe I didn't need to hide this from you grandpa, but no one else would accept it."
Goku sighed, crossing his arms over his chest. Then, he shook his head. "We all want to protect you Pea; Space is a dangerous place to travel."
Pea tightened her lips and lowered her head, fidgeting with her jacket. "I need to help them… we don't know if they are in trouble."
Goku looked at her and grinned. "They aren't Pea… I know it."
Pea sighed again, this time in frustration. "How can you be so sure? They are in SPACE grandpa!"
Goku stretched out his hand and placed it on her shoulder. "I just know it, Pea."
Pea shook her head, grabbing the warm hand of her grandpa. "And what if you are wrong? Have you thought about that?"
Goku grinned, pulling her close. "Pea… don't worry… your grandpa and Uub are okay."
Pea pulled away slightly. "I'm not coming back grandpa, not until I find them."
Goku nodded his head in agreement and walked to the control panel. "I know that too. Where are we going then?"
Pea blinked a few times and followed him, sitting in the main's pilot seat. "I AM going to the nearby planet grandpa; are you planning to go with me?"
Goku laughed childishly, placing his hand in the back of his head. "Of course I'm going with you! Did you think I would let you do this by yourself?"
Pea blinked again, and then she grinned happily. "That's what I wanted in the first place grandpa! How did you get grandma Chichi to agree?"
Goku paled for a moment. "I didn't… tell her…"
Pea's face blanked for a moment and then she started laughing like a maniac. "I can't believe it grandpa! You know how she is and you just forgot about it?"
Goku shrugged and grinned sheepishly. "I suppose I didn't have a choice… she will understand… I hope…"
REACTIONS
Pan had been furious. How dare her little girl to steal a ship and go to space? Without her? The worst thing was that she wanted to go, her grandpa was in there too… and she was here, missing all the fun…
Trunks was worried as hell. At first, he had gone crazy when Goku told him they were not coming back.
Vegeta, in the other hand, was somewhat jealous of Goku… he had always managed to get away from Earth, with the best excuse… However, the clown was risking HIS granddaughter's life this time… and he wouldn't allow it. He had to find a way to convince Goku to come back and bring their granddaughter safe.
It had been five weeks since Pea and Goku went to Space when Bulma noticed the signal on the main computer. Gohan and Uub were back.
RETURNING HOME.
September 21, 821
The spaceship's door opened. Four Saiyans and a tall warrior descended slowly to the ground. Every body circled the group, welcoming the group and eyeing curiously at the teen saiyans.
Kenji had to raise a hand to help Midori close his mouth. The moment Midori saw Selypa his cheeks grew red crimson. Dende! She was beautiful; he never thought a girl could be so beautiful. The sight of her tail swinging behind her hypnotized him.
Kenji slapped his friend's head to make him breath. The girls were beautiful, that was sure, but Midori had to get some control or every body would notice it.
Boobu chuckled, it was evident those boys were drooling over the saiyan girls. He gritted his teeth, maybe it was logic and natural they reacted that way… saiyans had to feel attraction for a non-relative saiyan… He looked suspiciously to Ottamoth… Shit… He was grateful now that Pea wasn't here.
Gohan ran to Videl and hugged her tightly. He was happy to see her, he had missed her, but firstly, he was happy that he wouldn't have to worry about avoiding Selypa… some one else had caught her attention… Midori.
Vegeta snorted and approached the group. After giving his "ruler and King of Saiyan race speech", he turned around and walked in the house. He knew Gohan and Uub would follow him to talk about their research.
Bulma took the teen group of saiyans and lead them to the lab, where she would be running tests for a whole week.
OUTERSPACE
Pea glanced at Goku, sleeping in the back of the ship. Then, she whispered some words in the communication's device and hang up.
Great! Her grandpa was back. She couldn't help to feel curious about the new saiyans but she wouldn't return to Earth so soon. She really loved Space and she wanted to have some adventures first. She wouldn't have this opportunity again.
She started singing a song, while she grabbed the screwdriver and opened the communication's frontal panel.
After a while, she put everything in place and washed her greasy hands. She didn't break the device; she just turned it off from inside. No one was going to mess with her trip.
Goku blinked a few times and ran his hand over his eyes. He checked the hour and stood up lazily. "Something new Pea?"
Pea grinned back and shook her head. "No grandpa, go back to sleep, everything's okay."
Goku raised an eyebrow questioningly. "What are you doing?"
Pea swallowed and put on the best innocent face she could. "Oh, nothing, just checking the course and learning something of the planets surrounding us."
Goku yawned and stretched out his arms. "Fine, then I will take a nap. I have to keep my energy high; you should do the same Pea."
Pea shook her head. "No, I'll do it when you wake up, I'm not tired grandpa."
Goku nodded and laid down again.
Soon, Goku was sound sleep. Pea changed the course of the ship, she needed to travel far away… when her parents knew she was not coming back, they would try to reach them, they would try to locate her ship… but she was Bulma and Gohan's descendant… she was skilled and smart. She was Vegeta and Goku's descendant… no one mess with her resolutions… but worst... she was a truly Son and Briefs woman… everybody knew what that means…
TESTS ON EARTH.
Trunks had been pacing all day. Bulma had been trying to communicate with Pea's ship with no success. Something was bothering him and he didn't know what… he knew Pea, she would try something…
He slammed his fist on the wall; they shouldn't have told Pea they were back… he should have brought her back without warning. It had been two weeks and the radar couldn't locate the ship. They were out of reach now…
Pan had been in a very bad mood the whole two weeks, concentrating to talk to her grandpa, but Goku seemed to be somewhere else, she couldn't reach him.
Vegeta didn't say a thing about it. He knew no one would make Pea come back; she was like them… a true saiyan. Of course she had messed the communications… it would be something he would try too… besides, why he would worry? Kakarrot was traveling with her, and he knew Kakarrot would die to protect her if necessarily.
Bulma had been not worried at all. Bra and Bulma had been running many tests in the teenagers and they didn't have time to worry about Pea and Goku. Bulma trusted in Goku with all her heart and mind, so he would bring the kid back, eventually. Maybe she had manipulated him… it wouldn't be unexpected… she was her granddaughter after all.
Neither Gohan nor Uub wanted to be bothered. They had been in Space for more than two years and they have missed their family. They wanted to spend some time with their wives and family. They knew Goku would bring Pea back in a matter of weeks, maybe the girl just needed to get away from Earth and she had been bugging Goku about it. After all, she was a Saiyan and since they could remember, the girl had been insisting in going to space and know more about it. Probably, Goku just complied with her.
WORRIED PARENTS.
Bulma looked up at her son and blinked twice before answering. "Trunks, Pan, they had been out there, less than three months… you two were in Space for a year… and if I remember Pan... YOU were younger than Pea."
Pan twisted her lips to the side, rolling her eyes. "I know that… but I was always careful and…"
Trunks interrupted her with a snort. "Bull shit! You were never careful Pan!"
Bulma burst out laughing at her son's outburst, even when she should scold him for his choice of vocabulary; this was too good to be silenced.
Pan frowned and elbowed Trunks, knotting her eyebrows in a frown. "STOP IT Trunks! I'm talking about PEA!"
Trunks couldn't help to laugh again; she was lost now, nothing she would say would help her.
Pan crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Trunks. "She is still young Trunks! Besides… I knew how to fight and…"
Bulma clutched her stomach, breathing hard to calm her laughs. "And she doesn't?"
Pan blushed, knowing she had made the mistake to argue with Trunks and Bulma at the same time… and those two were at the same side right now… that would only means: against her. "Well, yeah… but…"
Trunks looked at Pan with amusement wrote all over his face. "She fights better than you Pan! Come on… hah hah hah… just make up another excuse… hah hah hah"
Bra was laughing while she walked up the stairs. Bulma and Trunks strident laughs could be heard everywhere. She knew they were mocking Pan, but honestly, Pan deserved it… She was the less indicated to talk about Pea's actions.
She opened the door and with a mocking smile looked at Pan. "Why don't you say you are just worried Pan?"
Pan balled her hands and slammed a fist on the nearby table. "STOP laughing at me! She is my daughter! How did you think I would react? I can't stop thinking about her!"
The room was in silence now. Bulma and Bra were feeling guilty. She was right. It didn't matter if Pan had done the same thing… She was a mother now and she was worried.
Trunks lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
It was Bulma the first one to talk. "Goku is there Pan… he would keep her safe."
Pan nodded, sobbing quietly. "I know."
Bra agreed, approaching quietly to Pan. "No one knows Space better than Dad and Goku. If they are not worried it's because they are safe Pan."
Trunks blinked at Bra's revelation. It was true… his Dad wouldn't be so calm about it if Pea's life was in danger. He nodded and pulled Pan closer, wrapping his arms around her.
Pan looked at Bra, and then she smiled gratefully. "You're right Bra, thank you."
Bulma smiled too, joining the group to comfort them. "Goku would teleport them here if something happened."
DEAL.
Nine weeks later. End of November 821.
Goku had been complaining about the course the ship had taken, insisting to teleport them all to Earth. Pea had to confess the true, making him laugh.
Goku looked at her lovingly and hugged her lightly. "Pea, if you wanted to travel that much, why you didn't tell me? I would have agreed."
Pea bit her upper lip, feeling guilty. "I wasn't so sure about it grandpa…"
Goku smiled, pulling away a little. "Do you want to land in some desert planet, to spar?"
Pea smiled happily, jumping on Goku and hugging him tightly. "YES!"
They landed in a planet. The ship had scanned the area and it was deserted.
After a good sparring time, they returned to the ship. Goku told her to fix the communication system, that way her parents would be not worried, but Pea refused. They would try to make him change his mind.
Goku told her she could disconnect it later, but they had to let her family know they were fine. She agreed.
After two hours of shouting and crying, Pea hang up. She knew that would happen. Goku just stared at the space, pondering what to do. They were right, after all. He had no right to risk her life. He made a deal with her, they would travel one month more and then, they would return to Earth. Pea agreed, no matter what she said they would find a way to make her go home, besides… they had fuel just to travel less than a year… After that, they would have to return or find a substitute in some planet.
CHRISTMAS PARTY ON EARTH.
December 821.
Almost every house in the city had Christmas decorations, even when a big part of them weren't Christian believers; they liked to buy a tree and gifts for everyone.
Saiyans had had a hard time learning the language and traditions. They had understood they would be living on Earth, with the last survivors of their specie. Gohan had offered his house, because they haven't any kids with them. Pan's room would be given to Selypa and Beetz. Gohan had complained about Videl's decision, he didn't want to be living under the same roof as those girls, firstly, because the shorter girl, Selypa, had been glancing at him all time. He didn't tell Videl about that, he didn't want her to feel jealous. He insisted in taking Ottamoth with them, but Videl refused, saying they were used to have a girl living with them and that would be it, Ottamoth could live at Goku's, they had had two boys and they knew how to handle it. Gohan sighed, slumping on the couch. At least, the interest of that girl was on Midori… or he would have to confess Videl what had happened.
Ottamoth was offered to live with Chichi's. Vegeta had been pondering about that, the idiot wouldn't help the brat to grow up like a true saiyan, but he didn't want those saiyans to live with him and his grandchildren.
The party started at eight o'clock sharp in the huge house of Capsule Corporation. Pea had called Bulma to wish a happy Christmas party to everyone. She told Bulma they would travel just two weeks more and then, they would return to Earth.
The music was playing and every body was talking. Bulma was discussing kindly with Vegeta, Videl was talking with Chichi and 18. Gluten was playing with Bran and Truss. Bra, Goten, Trunks and Pan were dancing. Uub was laughing with Gohan, Krilin and Tien. Piccolo, as always was watching everything from a corner. Yamcha was late; he had already called to tell them he would be there in two hours. Something good had happened and he had to take care of that first before going to the party.
Cassava, Marron's daughter had dragged Boobu to the dance floor. She didn't like him more than she liked Midori or Kenji; they were just friends. Truss was who had a crush on Cassava. She had inherited her grandma's and her father's eyes. Big blue eyes with blond hair. She was as pretty as 18, but six years older than Truss. He was just a 13 years old teenager, when she was a 19 years old woman. No matter what, he still had hope… maybe when he was older, she would look at him with more than friendly eyes. He was more than happy every time his grandma Bulma said Marron was coming. They lived so far away and he could only see Cassava once at year.
Beetz looked at Selypa. She was flirting again with that boy, Midori. She had been wondering more than a month if it was something in her blood… Since Selypa knew, her real mother had been in a team, working with Bardock, the grandfather of Gohan. The King of Saiyans, Vegeta had been teaching them. She had learned of Saiyan customs and laws. His mate, the scientist called Bulma, had taught them about science and Saiyan physiology. The woman who owned the house they were living in, Videl, had offered all the help she could to make them feel at home, but she still missed the ways of Furture.
Selypa seemed to care less about that. A tribal instinct had been making her flirt with Midori. It was as if she was trying to hunt him. He was an hybrid, like them. He was handsome, strong and kind. She wanted him and she wouldn't stop until she got him.
Kenji slammed his hand on Midori's back. "What are you waiting for? She has been flirting with you a whole month Mido! Go get her."
Midori stiffened at the hard hand on his back. "Shut up Kenji! You are making me feel nervous."
Kenji chuckled, pulling back his hand. "I –AM –making you feel –NERVOUS? Hah hah hah, calm down Mido, she is the one who's messing with your brain… just go and invite her to dance."
Midori mumbled a couple of curses and glared at him. "Stop being noisy! Remember she has saiyan ears."
Kenji laughed again, turning his back to Midori while she walked to the group of older saiyans.
Midori smiled shyly, stepping in front of Selypa. "I suppose Furtureans don't dance, I would love to teach you. Would you like to dance with me?"
Selypa smiled back, raising an eyebrow. "Dance? What's that? I suppose is some religious or mating ritual, isn't it?"
Midori blushed deeply, stammering. "N –N –No, of course not… it's just a… a way to have fun… I mean…"
Selypa grinned smartly. "Explain later, I accept your offer."
Midori excused while wrapping his right hand on her waist. "It's a slow song, and slow songs are danced like this."
Selypa raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to apologize; she was more than happy to be that close to him.
After a while of explaining what she had to do, they started dancing. Midori felt no more shame; his nerves settled. He thought he would be nervous, but opposite to his thoughts, he felt carefree and a sudden rush of control invaded him. Holding this girl in his arms was provoking something inside him, the desire to be strong overwhelmed him. He was just a quarter saiyan, but his blood was ruling now, and he wanted to be the one in control.
Beetz narrowed her eyes… "This had nothing to do with living on Earth… this was something inside Selypa. How could she be drooling over a half-breed male… what about the pride the King spoke of? She wouldn't do the same thing, EVER." She didn't notice she had said those thoughts aloud.
A low voice made her shiver. "Neither do I."
She tilted her head a little to the side, just to see Kenji drinking slowly a dark beverage. "Did I say that aloud?"
Kenji stopped drinking and chuckled, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye. "Yeah…"
She lifted an annoyed eyebrow, leaning against the fine wood counter.
He chuckled again, turning his body lightly to the right. "Don't worry; I was thinking the same thing."
She looked at him suspiciously, and then she shrugged. "I'm not worried."
Vegeta watched the couples from a corner. He smirked, murmuring. "The fun had started."
TIME VORTEX.
January 822.
Pea turned the steering wheel, trying to avoid the collision with one of the meteorites, but even this way, it hit the left side of the ship. The ship was fine, but its course changed. It had struck one of the compartments of fuel. She started typing codes in the control panel, so the computer would fix the compartment. Goku prepared to avoid another collision or teleport to Earth with Pea in case it was necessary.
Before they could notice and before the compartment was repaired, the ship entered a whirlwind. It seemed like a blue abyss. The gravity force attracted the ship towards the center of the blue waves, shining with unknown energy.
Pea glanced at the control panel; the quantity of lost fuel wasn't as terrible as she had thought. She set to work rapidly; they had to avoid the center of the whirlwind. The spaceship hit something and after several jolts, flying around the blue waves it started shaking.
Soon, the whirlwind engulfed them down, but it was just a second. Goku lowered his arm, he had grabbed Pea, raising his fingers to his forehead, ready to teleport them, but as soon as they hit the center of the whirlwind it stopped.
He looked at the window; the whirlwind was nowhere to see. He sighed in relief, for a moment he thought they were in danger.
Pa struck the control panel where the stellar radar was located, it wasn't recognizing any point and it seemed that the course was the correct one, except for a slight inclination towards the left quadrant. She corrected the coordinates and checked the fuel compartment. The computer system had repaired it.
She turned around to talk to Goku, but he seemed to be lost in thought, looking from side to side, trying to recognize the place where they were.
She rolled over and placed a hand on his forearm. "Grandpa, Grandpa, what's the matter? The computer fixed the failure, we are on course now."
He shook his head, something was wrong… he couldn't feel any Ki on Earth or Namek. He blinked his face paler than before. "Something happened… we are not in the same place."
She glanced around and started typing again in the computer. "Maybe the radar is broken, but we are in our course grandpa."
Goku shook his head again. "I don't know this place. Pea, connect the communication's device please."
Pea frowned, looking from her grandpa's face to the control panel. "Why?"
Goku sighed, rolling his eyes. "I told you, we are not in the same place, something happened."
After a while, Pea slumped on the seat. "It doesn't work grandpa… I swear I did the right thing… I didn't break it."
Goku nodded his head. "I know… this is something else. Something happened in the whirlwind."
Suddenly, the radar started functioning again. A bright point blinking in the screen.
Pea jumped on her seat, grinning happily while she fingered the screen point. "Thanks Dende! The radar is not broken!"
Goku looked at the screen through furrowed brows… not that he had a lot of experience traveling, but he knew enough that blue whirlwind wasn't supposed to be there.
The place the radar had located was a small green and blue planet. After pondering about that, Goku told Pea to land there. He had to find out what had happened and where they were, maybe then, he could concentrate to locate a known Ki and teleport there with Pea.
EPILOGUE.
The adventures of the saiyans continued in the future. Bulma found the Saiyan vacuum to preserve Saiyan descendants to lose their fighting skills and their regeneration cells, among with the capability to live a long life. Pea and Goku had a wonderful adventure and an unbelievable surprise in the green and blue planet. They returned after one year and a half.
The legend had started again. Seven Saiyans were born and four more to join them. The Next protectors of Earth.
The End?
History write itself beyond our comprehension and understanding. You don't have to rush to change it either; it changes everytime you breath. Life writes its own sketch to play, it's beyond our knowledge or perception. You don't have to change a fact, the fact keeps moving on, trying to find its paralel to settle down. You just have to trust and wait for inaudible and unbelievable things to happen... and if we are in a reality that moves faster than our minds do, it can happen.
Maybe in a paralel universe we are playing different roles and dreaming in another reality; maybe there are invisible lines that join our lives in a point or a period of time. Maybe we can not see those inviible lines... but we can't see the air either and it exists... maybe they are just waiting, for a breath to move and touch another life.
END OF "THE DB LEGEND"
Author notes.
Thanks for the reviews the last chapter to: puertorrican-babe, ladybugg, anime-school-chick, listenserendipity, Apolonia86, Zhealy, Hermione Double.Thanks for reading my story. I really appreciated. I'm sorry I took that long, but it was hard to end it. In fact, I started writing what happened next, but it was too long to write it here. Thanks for your reviews; I hope you can review one more time. I'm going to miss you all. Anyways, I started writing another story, it's going to be shorter than this one, just ten chapters. I named it "Beyond Reason"
If someone wants to know more about the adventures of Pea, Midori, Kenji, Thong, Truss and the others just let me know, maybe I could write a sequel, a short one, just four or five chapters, because I don't want to bore you.
I hate to write a poor ending, that's why I had to spend more than two months wondering about how to reproduce saiyans without consanguinity or chromosome damage, something that could be believable and logic. I already planned the names, but I didn't write it, just the names of the chapters. Its not that I was planning to write a sequel, it's just that I had to close the cycle inside my mind, so I could write about it, without making mistakes in the development of relationships among the characters.
I wanted to write a different ending, something that leaves your imagination working on, that's why I chose to end it with Pan and Goku in the green and blue planet, that's why I ended it with just a couple of suggestions about the saiyan teenagers. I apologize for my spelling and grammar. I did it all by my own effort, finding words, understanding its meaning, researching as a maniac, about the places, traditions, the series and chapters of DB Z and GT, genetics, blood lines, mutations and fights, about everything I needed to; so I appreciate you gave me a lot of kind words and support through all the story.
Many things that I wrote are real. I mixed fiction with real word, because I think it's the best way to make someone feel the story. I loved this story and I want to thank those reviewers who stick up with it until its end.
