Friends Made and A Threat Emerges

At Piccolo's current Location

"So Namek, will you let my father meditate with you or not!"

They had been going at it for hours now. The King was beginning to grow weary of all the curses back and forth between his son and the Namekian Giant so he stood up and imposed himself between the two.

"This is going nowhere, Vegeta it is Piccolo's decision weather he wishes my presence here or not. If he doesn't want my company then we can't force him to let me hang around."

"And here I thought Vegeta got all his arrogance from his family, now I see he's a jackass on his own! All right, you can stay but under one condition: You came to meditate and gain peace of mind after all you've been through and that's what you're going to do. No fighting, No training, and most of All NO VEGETA!"

"Why you sniveling green son of a..."

"That's enough Vegeta, his terms are not unreasonable given what you just put him through. Besides, that is exactly what I came for, I told you: I'm too old to fight any more."

"Fine, Come home when you think you've obtained your peace. Don't forget, you still have a family that wants to get to know their grandfather!"

Vegeta took off into the air and sped off towards Capsule Corp.

"Thank you for offering your help Piccolo."

"Well you're much less annoying than Vegeta so far, and its not like you're the first Saiyan I've dealt with like this. Of course those were different circumstances, Gohan was just a boy and we only had a year. You've been through a lot, I don't know what help I can be, but I will do what I can, I promise you that."

Gohan and Videl's house: 2 weeks later
"So your dad's coming to visit too huh? Oh boy this should be one hell of a day. I just hope for his sake that he comes as grandpa and not Hercule The Great. I can just imagine what my uncle or grandfather would do if he acted all tough in front of them. If Vegeta is any indicator, he might not make it through this."

"Dad should be fine, he was brought down a few notches when your dad and Vegeta defeated Buu. He usually only acts like that for the camera now, I hope."

Just then they heard Hercule's aircar overhead and rushed out to meet him. Hercule hopped out with characteristic charisma.

"Hi baby girl! How ya been? Where's my granddaughter? Oh hi Gohan."

"How's is hangin Herc? Pan's inside, Goten was bored so he came over to play with her."

Hercule walked inside and Gohan and Videl followed close behind.

"Mmm! Mmm! What's cooking Videl? It smells really good."

"Well it should smell good, that roast has been in the oven since 5 o'clock this morning. Goku and Chi-Chi are coming for dinner too, oh and so are Gohan's uncle and grandfather."

"Since when do you have an uncle Gohan? I didn't know Chi-Chi had a brother."

"She doesn't, it's my dad's brother and his father. He um just brought them back to life with the DragonBalls."

"Oh boy I hope they don't eat like Goku or there won't be any for us! Now where's my baby granddaughter?"

"She and Goten are in the living room."

Hercule entered the living room and saw Goten was playing peek a boo with Pan.

"Where's Goten? Where's Goten? Here he is! You like that don't ya runt?" Pan sat on the floor clapping her little hands together as Goten began making faces at her. Goten looked up and finally noticed Hercule.

"Oh hey Champ!" Goten always called Hercule Champ just to rub it in that every time he had won the title, was a lie.

"There she is!" Hercule grabbed Pan and began spinning her around. Pan immediately began to cry. "Oh shhhh Pan its ok Grandpa's here." With that Pan threw up on Hercule and then began to laugh and clap her hands together again.

" I guess I should have told you she just ate like ten minutes ago." Goten said as Hercule left to get cleaned up. As soon as he left, Goten busted out laughing. "Good job Pan, I knew I liked you for some reason. Hahaha."

The doorbell rang and in walked the rest of the family, Goku wearing his normal oversized smile and Raditz his normal scowl. Bardock looked rather confused as he looked down at the floor, Chi-Chi had gotten out some of Goku's dress clothes and made him dress up for the occasion. She had tried with Raditz but he had smartly flown to the roof where she couldn't get to him. Raditz was still contemplating how he had gotten any intelligence given that his father and brother were none too bright. They were all greeted warmly by Videl and Gohan and got ready to eat. Even Goku was surprised, but not disappointed, by the size of the roast. It looked like Videl had roasted an entire cow! After dinner, Goku, Gohan, and Goten talked Raditz and Bardock into playing a game of football in the back yard, but they needed one more to make fair teams so Hercule stepped up nonchalantly, not exactly knowing what he was getting self into. Videl tried to stop her father but he very proudly said that he'd be fine, in fact, he said he would dominate the game.

"So what are teams going to be guys? Raditz and Bardock just learned how to play last week so they can't be on the same team and Hercule, well, " Gohan dropped his voice a little, "Hercule is Hercule."

"How bout Goku, Gohan, and Hercule against us?" Bardock offered, "That should be pretty fair." Everyone agreed and they began the game. Raditz kicked off and somehow Hercule caught it. Goku managed to block his father and Gohan his brother, but that turned out to be a mistake. Bardock and Goten would have been a little softer on Hercule than Raditz, because Bardock wasn't very violent by nature and Goten knew Hercule was a weakling. Raditz, however boasted none of the above so he hit Hercule with all his might. Hercul would have careened into the house had the large oak tree not stopped his flight. The Son family rushed over to the motionless, except for a twitch in his foot every once and a while, Hercule. None of them noticed the figure looming over head...

Dun dun Dun! Well that it for me this time. Thanks for the idea of using Hercule. I just couldn't kill him, but this seemed to work for me. Haha. But who is the new threat... Wouldn't you like to know.Later all-- Lost
