Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dragonball Death Realm ❯ The descendants ( Prologue )

Prologue

It had been three years since the death of Goku and Vegeta, two of the earth's strongest warriors. They had passed away of old age; something that the eternal dragon could not use its powers to overthrow.

The Z warriors still managed to maintain peace over Earth, knowing very well that the two Saiyans were watching them from the next dimension, ensuring the safety of Earth. But like most plans flow, there would always be a few snags in between…

"WHAT!?!?" exclaimed Marron, who was yelling over the phone line.

"Hurry Marron, unless you want to miss out on all the fun!" replied Krillin from the other side of the phone, eager and excited for some reason.

"I'll be right over," Marron replied, slamming the phone onto the receiver and dashing out of her house. She quickly started up her air car and flew off, towards Satan City Hospital…

"Ryu, stop squirming!" Pan instructed, as Trunks attempted to give his new born baby Ryu a piggy bag ride, but unfortunately was too busy fidgeting about in Trunks's grasp.

"Active little tike aren't you?" Trunks said, looking Ryu in the eye as he beamed in response.

"I can't believe it Pan, we have a child!" he said, placing Ryu back in Pan's gentle arms.

"Yes, I know, quite miraculous isn't it?" she said, slowly rocking Ryu to sleep, as he shut his small miniature eye lids.

"Not to mention the fact that Goten and Bra also gave birth to a boy."

Unexpectedly, the door flung open, revealing Krillin and 18 standing side by side. The two entered the room, gazing at the new born Saiyan.

"Aw, he's so cute!" Krillin said, staring at the sleeping Ryu.

"What took you guys?" Trunks asked.

"Well, we were at the next room looking at Washi." explained 18.

"Wow, I still can't believe that you guys gave birth on the exact same day…What a coincidence!" Krillin said, taking his eye contact off Ryu.

"Yeah, no duh…" 18 said out loud.

Pan sighed, fixing her eyes on her infant. He was curled up inside the warm blue towel which blanketed him. Pan hoped that Goku was watching all this, proud of his new great-grandchild…

~*~

And indeed he was.

Goku and Vegeta, who were in heaven, were viewing what was happening at Satan City Hospital, using King Yama's television; Goku bursting with joy.

"Wow Vegeta, can you believe that I have a great-grandson?" he said excitingly.

"Whatever Kakarott, I still cannot believe that my son actually had a child with that grandchild of yours." Vegeta replied, as Goku gave his silly grin.

"Would you stop that!?" Vegeta scowled, as Goku sighed and put back on his normal happy expression.

"You know, you could start acting a little happier, especially on an occasion like this!" Goku suggested.

Vegeta gave a hard cold glare at Goku, silencing him completely.

"Would you shut up? I'm trying to take a look at my grandson…" Vegeta muttered; his eyes fixed back on the screen.

"You mean Ryu?" Goku asked.

"No, I mean Bra's kid, Washi." he replied, as the two saiyans gazed at another image, this time of Bra and Goten…

~*~

Bra was carrying a small baby within her arms, wrapped in a small white blanket. Goten sat on the edge of the bed, smiling in delight.

"We've made it this far, even without our fathers…" Goten spoke, stroking the baby's head gently.

"I know, we've been through a lot of thins together, but this has to be the proudest moment of my life." Bra said, as she kissed her newborn's forehead.

"Washi, the Japanese Eagle, what a name…" Goten thought, glancing at his son who was still sound asleep.

Suddenly, there was a loud `BANG', as Gohan, Videl and Marron charged into the room, loaded with presents.

It was that moment when Washi decided to wake up, wailing loudly as his face turned red. Goten and Bra glared at the three who had just barged in.

"Uh, sorry about that…" Gohan said, scratching the side of his head.

"We just thought you'd like some presents," Videl said, as the three dumped their gifts in the corner of the room.

"Thanks," Goten said, giving Gohan a high-five. Marron and Videl looked over to Washi, who was still howling away.

"Maybe we should leave now…" Marron suggested, as the three began to walk towards the door.

"Wait," Goten said. "I'll come with you guys, I was going to leave anyway."

He quickly kissed Bra on the cheek, rushing out the door with everyone else. Bra sighed, patting Washi on his back.

"I bet that Goten is hungry again…"

~*~

The gang met up with Krillin, Trunks and 18, as they strolled out the door all together.

"Man, it's nice to see you again Trunks," Goten said, hanging his arm over Trunks's shoulder. "I thought I'd never see you again for years!"

"Don't be silly Goten," Trunks snorted. "We're still best buds right?"

"Forever more!" Goten said out loud, punching his fist in the air.

Gohan and Krillin sighed, knowing that it would be merely impossible to separate those two.

"Let's all grab some pizza while we're at it," Krillin suggested.

"No way, we haven't got enough money to support three saiyans!" Marron exclaimed, as everyone but Trunks, Goten and Gohan burst into laughter.

"Ha, ha, very funny…" Goten said sarcastically. But all at once, Krillin, Trunks, Goten and Gohan stopped in their tracks, immobilized by shock.

"What is it?" Videl questioned them.

"I'm, sensing a way huge powerlevel…" Goten said in a shaken tone.

"Yeah, and this one seems more powerful than all the dragons existing put together!" Trunks exclaimed, gritting his teeth as did the rest.

"Let's get going then," 18 spoke, walking up towards the rest of the fighters.

"No 18, you'd better stay here and look out for Pan and Bra, as well as our kids." Goten commanded, 18's eyes widening with shock.

"But Goten! If the enemy is this strong, we're going to need all the help we can get!" 18 cried.

"Exactly why we need someone to remain behind. So that if we fail, at least there will be someone else to ensure the safety of the civilians here." Trunks said calmly.

18 hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in to their demands. She walked back into the hospital, anger and frustration written all over her face.

The four men sighed, as they turned towards Videl and Marron.

"Promise you won't follow us alright?" Krillin said.

"No way, and let you guys get trampled?" Videl exclaimed.

"Please, we don't want you to get hurt, or even killed!" Gohan tried to explain.

"Well, but-" before Videl could finish her sentence; the four took off, leaving Marron and Videl speechless.

"If those guys think that they're just gonna leave us behind…" Videl said angrily, as Marron placed her hand onto Videl's shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll get there." Marron said reassuringly.
