Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ New Love ❯ chapter three ( Chapter 3 )

Solitude smiled as he led Goku through the winding turns of the Event Horizon. There were various sized doors and opening all over the place. And despite its seemly small size was rather rooming inside. All the walls were a dull gray, no colors anywhere, not even rust. Everything was scrubbed clean, Goku could actually see his reflection in some of the metal. Could be a bad thing in a battle…or then again it could be used against the enemy.

Solitude: All the rooms in this area are free, you may choose anyone you like. Oh except the one on the end.

Goku: Why not that one?

Solitude: Its not really for me to say…but that was her sons room.

Goku nodded in understanding…he knew what it was like to keep a place looking the same as before. It was a sorry excuse to try to trick ones mind into believing they weren't dead. He himself had done it. It hurt as much as it helped.

Goku: What was the boys name?

Solitude: Cossack…he was only 9. Sad state of affairs.

Goku: You saved her why not the boy?

Solitude eyed Goku from beneath his hair. He would have to be careful and not let his secret slip. All his hard work would be for not if Goku knew.

Solitude: Saradina has a destiny, the boy didn't.

Such a simple answer, it could be no more than the truth. And Goku respected Solitude for that. The Kia answered everything straight up. No beating around the bush or avoidance. Goku understood such attitude, it made the Kia's reasons for helping him seem more like the truth. But that didn't mean Goku trusted him, no way, for he sensed something about this boy. He was hiding something yes, something important. However Goku knew the Kia was powerful, it was best to wait him out. Everybody messes up and Goku would be ready when he did.

They finally reached the control room, nobody was there. Solitude looked around searching for the captain.

Solitude: I think she's in the duct again.

Goku: Again?

Solitude: ya Saradina seems to think the coolant system can be upgraded. She's tried it several times, always end up cracking the coolant storage bin.

At that moment there was a hiss of cool air that came rushing out of the ducts. A startled yelp followed, the control room suddenly became like an icicle.

Solitude: Damn that girl. Saradina! That's the 8th time you've done that! Why don't you give it a rest.

A voice came out from a wall in front of them. It was young and feminine which surprised Goku. He assumed this woman would be older.

Saradina: Damn it I'm going to fix that thing one of these days.

Solitude: you can't fix what's already working

Saradina: No but I can upgrade it!

Solitude: Forget it! Just get out here, we had company!

A slender body wiggled its way though a small opening in the duct system. Goku was surprised again, how the hell could she fit thought that? It looked like a child would have a hard time getting out. Well then again Goku reasoned this girl wasn't much larger than a child. She was about Bulma's height maybe a little shorter, and her arms and legs although well shaped were thin and looked like a summer breeze could break them. Her face Goku noticed was pretty and well framed. Everything about her looked harmless, but something behind the veil…maybe it was the way she stood or the sharp out lines of her muscles though the spandex told him other wise. Wonder if she's strong enough to spar with.

Suddenly a small brown thing waved at him from behind her. It was a tail! She had a tail! Goku was stunned for a moment, then remembered Solitude had said she was another dimension. Strange he thought, I've never seen a Saiy-jin female before. Did they all look like this, so small and frail?.

Saradina was noticing the same thing about him at that very moment

Saradina: You're a Saiy-jin!!

Goku nodded and extended his hand, watching carefully, studying her. She did the same as she took it and didn't flinch when he squeezed her hand a little roughly.

Goku: My names Goku.

She looked at him curiously for a moment

Saradina: That's a strange name?

Goku: That's my Earth name.

She gave him another weird look and Goku sighed as he gave her a quick account on how he hit his head as a child and forgot everything, even that he was a Saiy-jin. Until Raditiz came and so on and so forth. (I'm sure we don't need this particular history lesson…if you do…ehh ouch…you should be watching arrival not reading this.)

Saradina: It's easy to forget things that hurt.

Goku was surprised at the hurt in her voice…was she thinking about her son? No he didn't think so…if she kept his room the same then she didn't want to belief much less forget. No she was talking about another pain…perhaps the boys father? Well it didn't matter, it wasn't his business and he wouldn't ask. The mood however disappeared as another freezing blast came from the ducts above them. Solitude shivered and gave Saradina a death glare.

Solitude: I think we've talked enough Why don't you go fix the disaster you created in the ducts.

Smiling sheepishly she jumped up and wiggled back into the walls. Goku watched the progress she made though the space ways by the sound of her movement.

Solitude watched Goku watch Saradina leave. It was a good beginning, Goku didn't hate her and was thinking about her even now. Yes it was a good beginning.

Back on Earth nothing fun ever happens anymore, at least that's what Vegeta Prince of the Saiy-jin race was thinking. Ever since Kacoroto's mate died the baka hadn't even been over to Spar. Vegeta wondered for a moment if he should be glad. Glad that the disgrace of a Saiy-jin was taking a breather, so that he could catch up again? But no…Vegeta couldn't be happy he knew what kind of pain he was going though, even if no one else did. It had nearly happened to him once, Bulma almost died. Not from cancer or any other disease but from simple old age. It nearly drove him mad, until he threatened that old hermit guy to show him how he stayed alive. The old asshole was stubborn at first until Vegeta explained some technique's that he hadn't used in years and was wondering if they would work on humans. The hermits face actually turned green as he explained in great detail Saiy-jin torture skills. He finally took him to the place.

The hermits secret surprised him so much that Vegeta nearly had a heart attack. It seemed that Roshi was a good friend of a certain man who used the earth as a vacation spot. Vegeta couldn't believe it, he was the prince of a noble race…the strongest (well second strongest) man in the universe. Yet that old pervert was a personal friend of the Grand Kia…whom not even Vegeta had ever met!! This truly amazed Vegeta and after some careful bargaining and threats, Vegeta was able to make Bulma younger (30's) and live as long as a Saiy-jin. It still amazed him that such a small planet could have such weird things…maybe that was what attracted trouble.

Well after that incident Vegeta checked up on Goku to see how far into space he was…Goku had left almost a week ago. Know Vegeta could barely fell his energy getting farther and farther away. Vegeta wasn't going to go after him though, he didn't care. Let the guy figure out his own shit. Vegeta on the other hand didn't know what to do for fun now, sure he could fight with Bulma, or train. But he always did that he wanted a new adventure something different exciting…needless to say he was bored.

Suddenly out of the corner of his eye Vegeta saw a flash, and a moment later it ran into him and knocked him down. He landed hard with an oomph, not knowing what hit him or which one. He looked at the bundle of arms and legs that now was sitting on his chest. And she looked back with the bluest most beautiful eyes in the universe. Giggling happily the small girl-child started in on her high pitched ramblings. Her name was Sky one of many…many grandchildren that lecher Trunks had given them. Luckily or not the girls mother was still on friendly terms with Trunks so she often came over to the capsule corporation.

Sky: Grandpa!! Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess Guess Guess Guess Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what Guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The child had managed to get at least fifty guess what's before Vegeta could open his mouth.

Vegeta: I'm going to hate myself for saying this…but what?

Sky: Mama says I can stay the entire summer here!!!!!!

Vegeta a little bit panicked managed to ask why.

Sky: I don't know…………

Vegeta rolled his eyes as he got up with the child still on him. He carried her into the house with her still babbling that annoying child talk into his ears. Bulma was in the kitchen and smiled evilly as they came in. Ah ha he knew who the culprit was now.

Vegeta: It hard to imagine but I think she can talk more than you.

Bulma made a rude noise in the back of her throat.

Vegeta: I know what you're up to! So how many!!??

Bulma: How many what?

Vegeta: You know what!! How many of them are coming!!

After a moment of silence that terrified Vegeta more than Freezia himself ever did, she answered.

Bulma: All

Vegeta's eyes bulged out of their sockets. She couldn't be serious all of them!

Vegeta: Do we have enough rooms here?

Bulma gave Vegeta a sharp glance, CC was huge with hundreds of rooms. He was being ridiculous.

Bulma: Oh and the Great Grand kids are coming too.

Now Vegeta was nearly busting a vain!

Vegeta: I can't handle that…no sane person can handle that! Why Bulma why?

Bulma smirked at his pleading voice, services the man right. Bulma was sure it was the Saiy-jin heritage that had made Trunks so…fertile? And of course being the most eligible bachelor, extremely handsome, smart, rich, and famous, didn't help any either. Girls just seemed to flock to him. The media had a hay day with him once they found out, calling him a lecher, a horrid father that abandons his kids, and worst. CC had suffered a bit especially after Trunks got angry at some camera men on his lawn and created a crater where their news van use to be. Things only got better after Bulma bribed a newspaper to print stories about how great of a dad Trunks was. Which he is. And the numbers on how much he spent on each one. Every single child and grand child had a trip to college, or money to start a business. So did the mothers and any other children the mother happened to have…or have after. Trunks paid one hundred grand each year in child support for each child, without a court order. And he managed while being president of a major company to visit each child regularly. Happily all the mothers still loved Trunks only couldn't be with him, so no fights over children and visiting rights have yet to happen.

The public saw, which was true that all parties were happy and copping well. In fact a statement from one of the mothers put the entire thing to rest by saying, "I loved him, god I loved him. I'm just sorry I couldn't be stronger. Trunks love is like a storm, beautiful, powerful, and overwhelming. It was too much. That's why I left."

Sky: Don't worry Grandpa…I'm the only one staying the rest are just coming for the reunion.

Vegeta: Reunion?

Bulma: Sky, you ruined Grandma's fun.

The child laughed as she jumped from Vegeta arms and ran elsewhere to play

Vegeta: Reunion?

Bulma: Yes reunion. Which part of the word don't you understand. Everyone coming over, kids, grandkids, mothers, and great grand kids.

Vegeta: what was the last count, I lost track.

Bulma: baka!! You lost track after the second one.

Vegeta: Say their mothers name too. Maybe I'll remember them.

Bulma glared at Vegeta.

Bulma: Ok first there was Susan, 21 years ago she had a son named Trunks jr. and later twins named Jessica and Lita. Trunks Jr. has a little boy now named Lee. And Jessica has twins named Phil and Lil.

Vegeta: Stupid names

Bulma: *sigh* Next was Teresa and Jamie…sisters…each had a son, Shane and Jeremy.

Vegeta: A yes I remember the news people had fun with that one.

Bulma: Shane's has a boy named Daemon. He's 16 and the babies 5 weeks old. Next was Becky she had a boy named Hunter, he's 7 and later a girl.

Vegeta: that's the brat who's here now?

Bulma: Yes dear. And finally there is Angie who Trunks is still seeing she has a little boy named Kevin…and is pregnant now.

Vegeta: Oh god where did he get it from? How many was that?

Bulma: 9 kids one on the way and 4 grand kids.

Vegeta: All with Saiy-jin appetites…

Bulma: Most with Tails…

Vegeta: That was fun watching him try to explain that one.

Bulma: Most took it quite well. Oh and don't forget Bra, she has 2 boys and a girl Goku, Del. Jr and Hope

Vegeta shuttered visually at the name of his oldest grandson from bra. He remember that oh boy did he remember, he nearly Killed Goten that night when he discovered him with his little girl. Well maybe not so little she was 21 but still! She lived in the house and Vegeta didn't need that kinda stress! It was just a one night stand and she didn't want anything more to do with him (thank kami) even after she realized she was pregnant. Bra 4 years later married some rich rapper named Del, and they ended up with two children.

Goten later married some stupid little trick named Paris or something liked that. They didn't have any kids yet.

Vegeta: has that Baka even seen his spawn yet!! I don't know why I let him live! A low class half breed being with a princess of the Saiy-jin race!!!!!!!!

Bulma: Vegeta! You know Bra can't stand him. Little Goku has a father, Del. He's a fine young man. That's all that matters. We shouldn't judge them they were adults when that happened. It wasn't much different than what happened to us.

Vegeta: why are we having this reunion?

Bulma sighed as he changed the subject. It was still a tender spot for the prince.

Bulma: I haven't seen some of the Great's yet and I haven't seen some of the regulars in quite a while now. I know you don't care but I love my Grand kids. I want to see them every now and then.

Vegeta: but why all of them at once?

Bulma almost growled and started chopping carrots again. Vegeta seeing he pushed her too far made a wide circle around her toward the living room, afraid she might get ideas concerning his tail

Once out of Bulma's sight Vegeta's thoughts concerning his tail were suddenly interrupted as once again Sky decided she wanted attention. Vegeta found himself on his back again with a little 40 lbs bags of skin and bones on top of him. Looking into her beautiful eyes Vegeta realized how pretty this grand child was. She had shoulder length black hair, as fine and soft as Bulma's. It reminded him of silk. Her eyes were large and well spaced apart, set in a small round face. Her nose which she hadn't even grown into yet was straight and petite. And her smile even at her tender age, was radiate. She'll be a heart breaker to, when she comes of age.

But what got Vegeta's attention, as it did when he first saw her was the power that radiated off her. Nobody but himself saw it, it wasn't the normal ki that everybody had, it was subtler. And only his great many years of training and battle enabled him to see it. This child had the potential to become greater than even Kacoroto. And unlike his son, Vegeta would make sure she reached that potential.

Vegeta: So Sky the whole summer ummm…

Sky: Ya Momma said it would be good for me.

Vegeta: Yes you're momma's right, but you know what that means..

Sky: Yep to the gravity room!!

Vegeta smiled.

Vegeta: No wait I have a better idea.

Moments later Bulma having just finished cutting carrots was knocked off her feet as the entire house shook violently.

For a second the words earthquake echoed though her mind, but was promptly replaced by Vegeta. Bulma raced out into the lawn just in time to see one of her space ships shooting toward the stars.

Bulma: What the?? That's a 2-A type ship?? But that has enough supplies for two? Why would??? OH GOD NO!!! THAT BASTARD!!!

Racing into the lab Bulma found a note just as she thought she would. It was written in the scribbly script of a six year old girl

"Dear Grandma

Grandpa said that it would be ok if I went to fight with him in outer-space. Tell momma I love her and I be home soon

Love Sky "

Bulma: He's going to train her?

Bulma didn't understand it, Vegeta hadn't trained any of his grand children. He had told Trunks it was his job…so why the girl.

Bulma: Oh boy.

With that and a curse under her breath. Bulma went to the telephone to call Trunks and tell him where his littlest girl was heading.
