Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ A different World ❯ Explanations ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, wish I did, but I don't. I wouldn't mind getting a couple of reviews to tell me if I should change anything in the story or not. Umm…if you have any questions about the fic, you should ask after this chapter so I can explain in the next one.

Author's Notes: As I was spell checking my story, I noticed in the previous chapter that I hadn't changed Vegeta's nickname to Uncle Fluffy…now I personally didn't like that nickname so I'm on a hunt for a better one…if you people have any suggestions, please let me know in a review so I can choose one and change it to something better.

Chapter Two: Explanations…

Landing beside his son, Goku studied the people gathered before him then blinked in surprise when the Bulma look-alike launched herself at him and hugged him with all of her might.

"Oh Goku…I never thought we'd see you again. How did you get here? Did our wish bring you back to life so you could start over too?"

Scratching the back of his head, he grinned his infamous Son grin then looked back when Vegeta landed as well. "I'm confused."

"That's not surprising Kakarot." Switching his gaze from his fighting partner, he stared at his look-alike then smirked. "This reminds me of a book I once read…damn if I can't remember the name of it though."

Vejita snorted and switched his stance so that his arms were crossed over his chest. "This is one hell of a place we were brought to. That dragon has a fucked up sense of humor." He met his counterparts gaze evenly. "You have your tail still."

He shrugged and flicked his tail idly from side to side. "I found that I could wish it back, so I did…and my mate absolutely adores my tail."

His eyebrow hiked up in questioning. "You're mate?"

"Well…my fuck partner if you really want to get technical."

Gohan, and several other people in the area, stared at him in shock, unable to believe he had been so blunt, especially in front of women and a child.

Noticing their shocked stares, he grunted and lifted a few feet into the air. "What? You expected me to keep a civil tongue?" He looked off to one side, feeling a few other people approaching. "You can ask her yourself, she's on her way now."

Dropping to the ground, Kathi glanced at Gohan and Pan before grinning and turning to the newcomers. "Well…as if my day couldn't get anymore interesting, now I have to figure out how you guys got here."

Pan smiled cheerfully and, before her father could stop her, asked a very…embarrassing question. "Are you Uncle Fluffy's fuck partner?"

Her jaw dropped in horror even as she looked up at the man floating above everyone's head. "You so did not say that in front of that little girl."

He smirked and flicked his tail again. "And what if I did?"

"Oh my god…" Her face turned bright red even as the people who had been following her landed in the middle of the group. "Kris, you take care of questioning these folks, I have to beat some sense into that baka floating above us."

Shrugging, the tall demi-saiya-jin diverted his attention back towards the arrivals while she shot after her fleeing mate. "So…how did you get here, where are you from, and what in the world happened to you guys? You look like shit."

Vejita, Bulma, Trunks, Bra, Goten, and Eighteen all looked down at their tattered and soot blackened clothing before talking all at once.

Twenty minutes later…

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Kris sighed as he finally got the entire explanation for what had caused them to get transported to their world. "So you're telling me that your Earth got attacked by a new breed of aliens that were invulnerable to ki attacks and that had an insatiable appetite for…battle?"

Bulma nodded and smiled grimly. "They toyed with Gohan for several years, calling him out to fight by killing his wife then…they sucked the life out of him. Every time he came back from a battle with them, he'd be paler and skinnier until one day he just didn't come back at all. Eighteen found his body and brought him back…and…he was just an empty shell. It was like his soul was ripped from his body and all that had been left to him was a dried up husk."

"So…what happened to the others?"

"Yamucha…from our time, died of a sexual disease he got while he was out partying…he was spared from this whole ordeal. Goku was already dead…he had decided not to come back at all because life was stressful. Besides, he figured we could take care of ourselves since there didn't appear to be any threats looming in our near future. Chi-chi shot herself after those abominations killed Gohan and…her unborn granddaughter as well. Krillin had a massive heart-attack one day that no one could explain so Eighteen came to live with us and brought her daughter along as well. Unfortunately she never made it to see her twenty-first birthday because she was killed in a car crash when those creatures first started killing people. Piccolo stayed behind with Dende…to protect him while we made our wish to escape and I think that was everyone."

"So now you're here?"

"Yeah, that seems to be the gist of it."

Sighing again, he watched as the others nodded their heads in affirmation then lifted into the air a ways. "Well, I suppose you can come stay with those of us living in Capsule Corp…but I'm telling you now, be careful what you do around there. Kathi's been on her toes recently because our Bulma decided that she should make sure she's cooking and cleaning and basically steals her away from everything she enjoys doing. Today was her day off but…I'm starting to think it won't last long, especially if she catches up with Vegeta anytime soon."

Vejita frowned a second in thought then lifted his chin up higher, catching the other man's attention. "Exactly how did more saiya-jins get here and why is my counter part with someone else?"

"Oh god…" He frowned and tired to think of a way to explain how they got to the place they were and into the current predicaments they happened to find themselves in. "Well…I guess you can say we got lost on our way to New Mexico."

"New Mexico? I've never heard of that planet."

"Yeah…it isn't a planet."

"Oh."

"We were doing a road trip around the states and…took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up here. I met Bulma, we hit it off, Kathi met Vegeta, they hated each other's guts…and well…we became more than we used to be. My friends and I were once very human but we kinda changed somewhere between Tuscan and Albuquerque. Although I'm not sure our changes were for the best, Kathi kind of let the power rush to her head and ended up having a few problems during the first couple of months."

"If she hated my other self then why is she…"

"That one is not for me to answer. All I know is that they fight, they eat, they screw around, and they fight some more. That's all I want to know about their relationship and if I knew anymore, I'm sure I'd hurl." He shuddered at the thought of hearing about his friend's sex life. "In fact…I'm happy she hasn't told me what they do when they're alone…that's what Joe is for and he's already green enough as is."

"Oh…"

"Anyway, who's hungry? I think she left enough food for an army back home so we can all pig out and not make a dent in the stock."

All of the saiya-jins raised their hands at the same time as the other Bulma raised her own.

"Great, we can talk more over lunch."
