Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ From Beyond the Grave ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

 

 

Hello all. This is my first Fanfic that I have ever decided to put out there for the public. I would love reviews with praise but I'm actually hoping for some criticism also. No harsh flames please but I would love some advice on what I could do better or what I actually do that is good. I think I am a pretty good writer but I know there is always room for improvement. Now for a few notes on the story

 

It doesn't really include the GT timeline because I think it would work better without GT.

 

Second I am the type of guy that when he gets an idea he runs with it, and when that idea spawns another story he goes straight into that story leaving the first unfinished. I would guess you could consider this Part 2 of my “saga” I haven't gotten around to really putting the first part on paper but here is what you need to know to understand.

 

My character, whose name is Lennex, started off as a human from America. Due to a student exchange he was sent to Satan City and due to author power stayed with the Briefs Family. Due to an enemy who has yet to be named or even written, a wish was made on the eternal dragon to make him a Sayjin. His current power level is that of a Super Sayjin equaling Trunks and Goten in power but not experience. When he was human he was an avid martial arts fanatic. Think of him as another Mr. Satan just not as lame. (I love Mr. Satan) After the wish he was trained by the three greats, Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta. He takes his new status as a Sayjin very seriously and attitude wise can be a lot like Vegeta, who is his favorite teacher. I think that's all you need to know to kinda understand it.

 

If I ever write the first story it will be before this story, and if all goes well and people like this story there will be one after it, but I am going to try and not get ahead of myself. Author notes won't be as long in future chapters sorry it was so long here but I figured it was info that was needed without further ado here is chapter 1. Please review

Dragonball Z: From Beyond the Grave

 

 

The sun shone brightly through the lights of the airport terminal in Satan City. As Alexis walked through the terminal she took in the different culture that surrounded her. This was her first visit to the city, a city she had never even considered coming to until the day the ticket was given to her. She was from America and enjoyed life in a medium sized town with her husband, Dodge. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to accompany her on this trip, which saddened Alexis, but Dodge had made her come, regardless if he could make it or not. Almost two months ago the letter had shown up in the daily mail, a letter from a long time friend who hadn't been seen for almost three years. Inside the letter was an invitation to come to his new home in Japan, two plane tickets and enough money to pay their bills for six months. The letter further explained that money wasn't a problem anymore for him as his new job made him very wealthy. It was decided between her and her husband that they would use the money for at least four months of bills and the rest was split between them. Then she was urged to take the time off and to go. Dodge claimed he didn't like going to strange places and was comfortable with her going without him. So after two months of preparation, getting time off, packing, and leaving things in order for her sometimes-irresponsible husband, she had boarded her flight and was off. And here, twelve hours later, she searched for her friend. She glanced at the newspaper rack and read the headline.

 

City Hero celebrates 75th birthday.

 

Beneath the headline showed a man who was definitely up in years but still looked very strong and sturdy. The caption of the picture identified the man as Hercule Satan. Alexis took a moment to recall why the name sounded so familiar. Then she remembered. The name was the man who had defeated Cell in the dreaded Cell games almost 50 years ago. She hadn't even been born then but her parents told her the story. Practically every one with older relatives knew of the Cell games, an event at which Mr. Satan had saved the world from a killer android. That day proclaimed Mr. Satan as the strongest man in the world. Coming to Satan City she never put it together that this was the champ's hometown. She continued walking until she reached the main entrance. There she spotted the man she was looking for. He had definitely changed since she last saw him. Back then, he wasn't the biggest guy around, but he wasn't the smallest either. Seeing him now, his physique showed vast improvement. His body size had increased, showing him to be very well built. Not only that but the way he carried himself now told everyone around him that he was cool, calm, and confident, a definite change from his sometimes meek behavior in the past. The boy she remembered never wanted the spotlight on him, always wanted to blend in and have people basically pass him over. Now it was as if the spotlight he once avoided was almost to dull for the person he was now. He smiled upon seeing her and met her with a hug. A bold move by the once timid boy she knew.

 

“How have you been Alexis?” he asked as he released her from the hug. She noticed his voice had also changed a bit, more commanding then before. Whatever he had been doing the last few years, she decided, was a good thing.

 

“I have been doing very well thank you,” she replied. “I see that you have definitely changed a few things.”

 

Lennex smiled at the compliment and started to go into a few body builder poses making Alexis remember her friend's reputation for being somewhat a goofball. He stopped when she saw her roll her eyes after about the seventh pose and decided it was time to get out of the airport. He picked up her bag and motioned her to follow him. When he had left three years ago, it had to do with winning a contest in high school. He had stayed in Japan for 6 months before returning. She wasn't sure what had happened over here during his absence, but he returned to America to graduate and then he had moved back right away. His sudden self-exile had been on her mind since she had opened up his invitation and seen all the money. She decided to broach the subject.

 

“Lennex, I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, but how is it that you have so much money these days?” she asked, hoping he wouldn't get mad for asking.

 

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and replied nonchalantly “I work for a drug cartel over here. I manage the manufacturing and exportation for three or four high level narcotics such as Heroine and Cocaine.”

 

He took a few steps before turning around to look at his friend. After he had said that she had immediately stopped and stared at him with a look of shock and horror. Maybe coming here wasn't a good idea after all. After watching her for a few more seconds, he grinned sheepishly.

 

“You really don't know how to take a joke anymore, do you?” he asked.

 

She realized that he had to have been joking. The boy she remembered had been so against drugs that the very idea of him working for something like that was absurd. But, she thought defensively, three years could change a person, couldn't they?

 

“That was so not funny,” she said as she continued walking. Lennex chuckled to himself and decided if he wanted the first day of her visit to be good, he had better answer her question.

 

“You know what Capsule Corporation is, right?” he asked.

 

She nodded her head and said, “Only the biggest company in the world. Manufactures some of the best equipment in the world, has stock higher than Microsoft, and the family that owns the business came up with the capsulating technology that revolutionized the way we store things, that Corporation?”

 

He nodded to her in return. “I see you're still a big business type of gal, eh? Yes, in a nutshell, that's what Cap Corp is. And that family you mentioned happens to be very close friends of mine.”

 

Alexis looked sharply over at her friend. “Are you serious? The Briefs are some of the most elusive people there are. How did you get in good with a family like that?”

 

“Fate, destiny, good karma…call it what you will,” he laughed. “The fact that I'm dating the daughter of the family might also have something to do with it.”

For what seemed like the millionth time that day, Alexis looked at her old friend with a mixture of shock and surprise. Bra Briefs was one of the sexiest women in the world and her small town friend was dating her? Unbelievable.

 

“So they give you money to date their daughter?” Alexis asked with a devious grin on her face, one that said that's the only way he could possibly be dating the woman..

 

Lennex shot her a glare but had to laugh after a moment. She really had not changed much, always quick with a joke, especially at his expense. He ignored her question and answered with a response he knew she was really looking for. “That's sort of how I met them, was through their daughter. They take very good care of their friends, but I'm also employed at Capsule Corp as Security. I make an honest living.”

 

They finally reached Lennex's vehicle, a sleek looking blue convertible. He waved at the car and said, “Nothing but the best for a CapCorp employee.” He laughed. He put her suitcase in the trunk and they got into the vehicle. After getting situated they pulled away from the curb and took off for the city.

 

“I know this is all a lot to take in, but trust me, you will love Bra and her family,” Lennex said. “However, I do have job responsibilities, so I'll be gone from time to time.”

 

Alexis nodded in understanding. She herself was very career-oriented so she could understand were Lennex was coming from.

 

“There's a lot of things I want to show you while you're here, but I'm sure you're tired after the flight so we'll get you to your room and you can rest `til tomorrow, then we have a full day planned. Bra said she wanted to introduce you to shopping, `Bra Briefs style'” he said with a shudder.

 

Lennex had never been one for shopping, And after being dragged along with the girl many times he knew his girlfriend was born to shop. All the packages, all the clothes, he shook off another shudder. From the actions she was observing, Alexis came to the conclusion that this shopping trip was going to be enjoyable. She looked out at the city noticing that some of the buildings were like they were at home. Intimidating in size and stretching for miles into the sky. Others she observed were dome shaped equally as large as some of their square counterparts but had a grace all their own. She realized that there was a lot here to do and see and that this trip was defiantly going to be an adventure

……….

 

After arriving at Capsule Corporation and showing Alexis her room, Bra had decided to give her a tour of the complex while Lennex attended to his “duties.” The first meeting was a bit comical. Alexis had only ever seen the “elusive” Bra Briefs in pictures and on TV. Apparently the real life version was enough to shock the girl into nervous silence. After a few words of encouragement from Lennex, that Bra was just an ordinary girl. To which Alexis scoffed at the very idea that Bra was anything but normal. She was rich, beautiful and icon. A girl who had everything she wanted. Alexis might have continued her tirade but the small cough from Bra made her realize that Bra was indeed still in the room. She apologized profusely to the blue haired girl, to which Bra just shrugged it off with a comment of that if Lennex had truly done his job, Alexis wouldn't have been so ill prepared. After a few more Lennex bashes and some general Male bashing period the two girls walked off forming a bond with each passing second. Lennex looked after the two girls as they walked away, a small tingle of fear edging its way into his mind that those two meeting may not have been such a good idea.

 

“So you gave her the old I-work-as-security-for-Capsule-Corporation lie, eh?” Trunks asked as he shot towards Lennex, his fist raised for an over hand strike.

 

“Yeah, I figured since I gave a few other people I used to know back home that same excuse so I might as well stick to it,” he replied, dodging the blow and retaliating with one of his own. “You never know who's going to talk to who anymore.”. Trunks dodged the counterattack and put some space between them. They were in the gravity room for their daily workout.

 

“Why not just tell her the truth?” Trunks asked as he shot forward again using the same attack as before.

 

Lennex just shook his head. “What, tell her `by the way I'm no longer human but a part of an extinct race of warrior aliens called Sayjins?' I'm sure she'd think I'm crazy.” He waited for the attack this time planning on using Trunks momentum against him. He waited until the last second and flew at Trunks, counterattacking even before the attack had been launched, only to find Trunks no longer in front of him. Trunks had phased out and reappeared behind him driving his leg into Lennex's back, sending him crashing to the floor.

 

“Well we convinced you didn't we?” Trunks replied with a smug grin as Lennex picked himself up and floated up to Trunks' level.

 

Lennex thought about it and had to silently agree that when he first met this family, they had convinced him of their origins and he had believed them. Still, he just wasn't sure how his friend would take all this.

 

“Maybe I will tell her, but for right now just play along. Let's not do anything out of the ordinary.”

 

Trunks nodded and got ready for the attack that was sure to come from his friend. But at that moment, the Doors to the gravity room opened and a voice issued from it.

 

“I thought you ladies might like a real workout today, so it's going to be two against one, bad odds for you two,” Vegeta said as he entered the room.

 

Trunks and Lennex glanced at each other with the same expression on their face….

 

This is going to hurt.

 

 

 

……….

Inside a dark cavern, one that light barely seemed to enter a group of beings sat in preparation.

 

“Is everything ready?” the slightly shorter being asked

 

“Of course Shu has decided that he knows who runs this place and is giving us full cooperation.” Another of the beings said.

 

The first one nodded and looked at the third being in the room “The bait is set, Set phase one into motion.”

 

The third being, who was the shortest of all nodded in understanding and walked away to follow the order given. The first being who had spoken looked at the remaining two and smiled a cruel and evil smile.

“We are about to have our revenge gentlemen. Revenge that is long over do.”

 

The other two grinned wickedly and set off to start their own preparations leaving the first alone.

 

“Yes we will have our revenge,” he said “After all, their only dirty little monkeys.”

Well that's chapter one ladies and gentleman. I hope you liked it. As I said above reviews are very much welcome. I'd like to know if I should actually continue this or just leave it as is. I know there's not too much here right now but usually you can tell if you still want to read something after the first chapter. I hope I actually can give you all something worth reading. Until the reviews come in see ya then.
