Ancient History: The Forgotten Past of the Saiyans

Chapter 14: The Girls Return

    Bra, Pan, Gohan, and Videl sat in their seats in the airplane, on the way back to Japan.  Gohan had a window seat; and was looking out of it, thinking about the spikes in his father's aura, as well as the spikes in his younger brother, Vegeta, and Trunks.  But what bothered him the most was the sudden power drops in his father. After it returned to normal levels, it seemed altered after the second drop.  Pan also was concerned for her Grandfather.  Bra was worried about her friend.  And thus, despite the fun they all had on the class trip, they were transported through the air with somber faces.  Moments would pass with a smile on their lips when some humorous event would flit through their minds.     When they arrived at the airport, everyone was there to greet them, except Chichi. Goku gave his son, granddaughter, and Videl a hug to welcome them back.  Bra smiled at her dad and he nodded in acknowledgement.  The first thing that Pan noticed as she was released from the hug, was that her Grandfather was not was not sporting the 'idiot grin' as Vegeta liked to call it.  He was smiling, but his face had a more regal appearance.  As they flew home from the airport under their own power, all were told by  Bra and Pan about the events that took place while they were in America.     All of them landed at Capsule Corp and entered the residential portion of the building.  "Grandpa? Where is Grandma?" Pan asked Goku.  At this inquiry, his face contorted into a pained frown.  "Pan... Chichi..." Goku sighs. "... broke up with me..." Goku proceeded to tell her the story of what happened and would wipe a tear from his eyes on occasion as they walked into the living room.  Bra wasn't too surprised at the turn of events, but was empathetic toward Goku for his loss.     After every one was seated, Pan and Bra were brought up to date on the events during their absence over dinner.  "I am so sorry to hear that, Goku." Bra said.  Pan and Bra noticed Vegeta's odd behavior: always trying to sit next to Goku for one, and two: being nice to him.  It is then that Bra realized the her father was in his saiyan heat cycle, mood swings and all.     After dinner they all moved back to the living room.  Bra immediately noticed a new petite bookstand with eight strange books. on it and furrowed her brows in thought.  Pan observed the look on her face and followed her gaze to the bookstand.  They both stared at volumes.  Getting up from their seat they approached the stand and they picked up a book each, perusing the texture with the pads of their digits.  When Bra opened her book it was blank.  And when Pan opened hers it was too.  "Pan look.  This one's blank." Bra said..  "This one is too." Bra said.  Both of them went thorough their family's corresponding books finding them all blank.     The girls then noticed the labels above each side of the stand relating to a book stack. One was labeled Vegeta, the other, Kakarott. The looked at eachother in confusion then looked at their parents. "Grandpa? Why are the books blank?" Pan asked, handing 'The Royal Chronicles of Kakrott' to Goku, open-faced.  Goku smirked, Vegeta Style, and held out his hands and Pan placed the book therein.  Pan, Bra, Gohan and Videl stared wide eyed as text bagan to appear, in a languag unknown to them, on the pages before them; and at the expression on Goku's face.  Goku stood from his seat.  "Gohan, Goten follow me." Goku commanded.

POV: Gohan     I blink at the authoritive tone, following my father to the center of the living room, in front of the others. "Gohan stand before me."   I watch my father close the open book and hold it out to me.  I grab the book to hold it, but he does not let go.  Dad suddenly smiles and powers up a litttle, and passes his energy through the book.  I follow his lead and he says to me: "I grant you access to the texts of our lineage." and lets go.   I open the book to find the pages fillied with text that I cannot read.  Closing the book, my hands of their own accord grip the book and the symbol on the front cover begins to glow.

POV: Bulma     The same thing happened to Gohan, that happened to Goku.  Goku picks up his son off of the floor.  Pan and my daughter are too shocked to move.  After setting his son on another couch, Goku picks up the fallen book off of the floor and sets it on the stand.  The father of my children is annoyed that he cannot unlock his books, and grumbles on the couch glaring at Goku.  My son and his mate, Goten, just roll their eyes at Vegeta and look back at an unconscious Gohan.     Saiyans: fascinating creatures, they are.  When in their humanoid form, they could pass as human males.  The ones here on earth, all had their tails removed.  The other giveaway though, is their well toned bodies, no modern human could ever achieve at the gym.  Steroids or not.  That is only on the surface.  They are all capable of both fathering and birthing young, unable to self-fertilize.  An interesting prospect for mammalian organisms.  Only two purebloods live, out of the six that escaped the genocide of their race.  Ther are currently four half human, half saiyan hybrids, and I am proud to be the mother of two of them. There is even a quarter saiyan here.     I am brought out of my musings with a hand on my shoulder, shaking me gently. "Hm?" I say. "Mom...mom...Gohan's awake." Trunks says. I look over and sure enough, he is. I look at the clock, and only fifteen minutes have passed by, only a fraction of the time it took Goku to wake up... This piques my curiosity.

POV: Pan    Dad wakes up shortly after the incident with the book.  Bulma and everyone else seems to be surprised that he is awake so soon.  "Thanks dad." Gohan says in saiyango. Grandpa told me about the language a little, after his encounter with the book, it just sounds like gibberish to me.  "Dad had brain damage that was repaired when his brain grew new neurons and dendrites, to form to new connections, to hold the data the was uploaded to his mind." My dad said.  "The damage repair was a side effect."  He continued. "In case anyone wants to know why I know about what happened to my father, the information was in the book's traffic logs." Dad finished.  Goku smiled and said: "Appuru seems to be as smart as Bulma." and chuckled.

POV: Trunks     My mom smiles at the complement she just received from Goku.  Dad growls a little, and frowns at mom. He is really on edge.  I've learned to keep my distance when he is in the state he is in right now.  It will pass in a week, I hope.  I hear a stomach growl and everyone, including myself, look at Goku... but we hear it again and realize it's coming from my dad.

POV: Vegeta     Everyone is looking at me.  I scowl back at them, and head to the kitchen, the stares unsettling me.  On the way back from the kitchen, carrying my food,  I come across the most wonderful scent.  If I still had my tail, it would be wagging with enthusiasm.  I walk towards that smell that has grabbed my attention so strongly and without paying close attention to where I'm going, I walk right into my rival, getting food all over his gi.  "Watch where you are going you idiot!" I snap.  Kakarott frowns, but says nothing and moves aside.
POV: Goku     I am covered in food.  I managed to grab some of the items before they fell to the floor.  Mmmm, this is delicious.  After licking my fingers clean, I walk to my room, change into a new gi, grab some of my money, and teleport to the mall.     At the mall I find a clothing store that has garments for tall people and enter its doors.  There are so many items to choose from.  After spending 30 minutes there I pay for my things and teleport back to my room.  I change into a pair of beige khaki shorts, and a white tee-shirt with ankle high socks and white tennis shoes.  I smirk, thinking about everyone's reaction when they see me, especially Vegeta.  I enter the living room in my new apparel, taking in the shocked faces of everyone around me, smirking like Vegeta would.     Everyone is staring at me with their mouths wide.  "I have decided to embrace more of my Saiyan heritage." I tell them.  "And I have decided to only wear gi's when training or sparring."

POV: Narrator

    After everyone stops staring at Goku like fish out of water,  they start squirming in their seats, not used to seeing their friend in anything other then his gi.  Bra and Pan break the silence by telling everyone about their last days at camp, and show the pictures they took.  One was of the creek that they hiked along, and another was of the pool of water they swam in.  Bra reaches into the pack that held her things, to show everyone a trinket she bought while abroad., and the letter with the picture of Adam and his brother fell onto the floor.  Before she could hide it, Vegeta  grabbed it and said: "What's this?"  She couldn't decide weather to blush or pale.  But at that moment everyone who knew how, felt five large powers park in orbit around earth.     Chapter 15: Awakening
