Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Saiyazon Origins ❯ An All Knowing Stranger ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

Gohan is grown up, Trunks is 18 and Goten 17. Like at the end of DBZ. That is all.

 

As I flew unbeknownst to me not far away my presence was felt.

 

Turles stopped mid block and stepped back before Gohan could hit him. Gohan stood mid strike staring confusedly at his opponent then he sensed it as well.

 

“Who is that?” Gohan asked. Turles shook his head and looked over at the others training nearby.

 

“Any ideas?” He asked.

 

Piccolo didn't respond and Trunks and Goten just shook their heads. “It's not one of us that's for sure.” Goku observed.

 

“If it's a new foe we should go investigate.” Vegeta said matter of fact ally and without another word he flew off in the direction of the new mysterious energy.

 

“He doesn't waste any time ever does he?” Goten asked rhetorically to Trunks as they flew after him.

 

“Nope, never.” Trunks answered.

 

“Do you think whatever it is, is a threat?” Turles asked Goku as they flew.

 

Goku shook his head. “Hard to say, although its ki signal isn't enormous that doesn't mean we can rule it out as a possible opponent.”

 

“Come on brother, how dangerous can something that doesn't even know how to suppress its' ki be?” Radditz scoffed.

 

Back to me…..

 

As I gazed at the world flying by I heard what sounded like a bunch of airplanes coming up behind me. I looked back to see nine balls of white fire speeding towards me. My adrenaline level rose as a panicked reflex, but something told me that I had no need to run. But I kept myself alert anyway and stopped dead in the air to let the white blurs catch up with me. They screeched to a stop around me forming a circle and my first thought was, `Oh great I'm surrounded.'

 

Then I recognized then as saiyans…and Piccolo. My mind raced. `It's not possible for some of them to be here. Radditz was killed and…oh AU that's right. I get it now.'

 

They all stared at me for a moment and I decided that it would be fun to shake them up a bit so I unwound my tail from around my waist and waved it lazily around smirking as I watched their facial expressions change. Some only slightly, others it was a complete jaw drop. “Hey fellas. Fancy meeting you here.” I said jovially.

 

“She's a…a…” Goten stuttered. “Saiyan.” Goku finished. When I heard Goku's voice I almost melted into my boots. I turned my head to stare at him. I was in the presence of my greatest hero and subject of most of my fantasies. I had a strong urge to reach out and touch him to see if this was a dream, but I was far too stubborn to do that. I gazed around the circle at them all and suddenly became annoyed with the silence.

 

“Well I know one of you must have something to say so say it! I can't stand being stared at!” I snapped. Gohan blinked and a single word dropped from his mouth. “How?”

 

“I'm not sure exactly myself Gohan, but for lack of a better explanation lets just say I am a saiyan from a different dimension.”

 

“You know my name?” He stuttered.

 

“Yeah.” I then preceded to name off all present. “Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Goku, Piccolo, Turles, Radditz, Nappa, and Prince Vegeta.”

 

“How do you know that?” Nappa stuttered.

 

“Let's just say where I come from you're all legendary.” I grinned.

 

“What do we do with her?” Radditz asked looking pointedly at his Prince for an answer.

 

“If it's not too much trouble I would like to stay and learn about your world.” I probably should have wanted to find away to wake up or get back to my own `dimension' but, I couldn't pass up a chance to learn about this alternate universe up close and personal.

 

Vegeta looked around at his counterparts and gave a small smirk. “Come with us.” He said turning and flying off. Trunks and Goten smirked, and Goku smiled while the other's eyed me suspiciously. Yet I knew that I had just been pseudo accepted into the club of last surviving saiyans. “Come on. We're going to Capsule Corp for dinner.” Goku said cheerily and I followed them off towards CC.

 

At the same time in Hell we were being watched in Babidi's crystal ball by the deceased villains of DBZ. “So there is a female saiyan with them now?” Babidi said evilly scratching his chin and thought.

 

“This could work to our advantage.” Zarbon commented smiling at the image of the blonde haired saiyan female in the ball.

 

We had only been flying for a few minutes of awkward silence after a very awkward meeting to start with and the air was thick with paranoid tension. Then I noticed Trunks and Goten staring at me out of the corner of my eye and I growled. “What!?” I snapped.

 

Goten always the innocent one was the first to speak up. “We were just wondering how old you are?”

 

“19.” I replied.

 

I saw both their looks of surprise and then Goten spoke without thinking. “Wow we had you pegged at 14 about Marron's age.”

 

My blood began to boil and I glared at them angrily. About a dozen times since I turned 16 I had been mistaken for a 14 year old and it annoyed me to no end! Before I could give a scathing reply I heard Turles chuckle on the other side of me. I turned to look at him as he spoke.

 

“You two should know better than anyone that saiyans never look their age. I mean you wouldn't believe how old Nappa actually is.”

 

“Shut up!” Nappa snapped from up ahead and I couldn't help but laugh.

 

“What's so funny?” Nappa asked angrily.

 

I just shook my head. “It's just this reminds me of home. I have so many uncles and male cousins that this kind of thing happens everyday.”

 

Turles looked at me quizzically. “A big family huh? That almost never happens with saiyans. The biggest family I've seen is Kakarott and Radditz and there are only two of them.”

 

“Well I have at least 9 great aunts and uncles, 4 regular aunts and uncles, and at least 8 first cousins and that's just one side of the family.”

 

“That's amazing.” Radditz said.

“Have any siblings?” Trunks asked his curiosity now getting the best of him as well.

 

“Two actually, both younger, sisters.” Nappa huffed at me comment.

 

“You're poor father only having weak daughters.”

 

I growled and shot up in front of him forcing him to stop mid-flight. If there's one thing that pisses me off its when men have the audacity to call women weak! “Listen pal! Women can do anything men can do, better!” I snapped.

 

Everybody had stopped because of the commotion and I had all eyes on me once again and Nappa just stared down at me with a look of amusement on his face. “Is that so?”

 

“Yeah!” I shouted and watched as his chest puffed out and I could tell he was trying to pull the scary masculine card, but with so many male cousins and uncles I was immune.

“Don't try that macho bullshit with me mister! You may be bigger than me, but that doesn't matter! I've seen all this male dominance crap before and I am perfectly capable at handling anything you dish out!”

 

I knew the others must have thought I was crazy to challenge Nappa who was twice my size, but I was confident that when I was this close to him if he attacked me I could take him out. When I didn't back down I could see his attitude begin to deflate in his eyes, but he wouldn't stand down. He was too proud.

 

As we stood their in our face off the others were watching us intently, all minds racing.

 

Trunks POV `She's going to get herself killed.'

Goten POV `She must be out of her mind.

Goku POV `Note to self: Don't piss her off.'

Vegeta POV `Well at least we know she's a real saiyan now.'

Piccolo POV `Nappa deserves this humiliation he's more of an ass than anybody else here.'

Gohan POV `Mom and Videl will get along with her just fine.'

Turles POV `She's fiery that one.'

 

Finally after what seemed like a never ending staring contest Vegeta spoke up. “Enough of this petty quarrel! I am hungry! Let's go.”

 

With the mention of food the staring contest abruptly ended and we all flew quickly back to CC.

 

We touched down outside and walked in to the large dome building. I was in awe of its enormity. It high domed ceiling the large staircase. I was so busy looking around I tripped on nothing, like I always do, and landed in a heap on the ground. Turles and Radditz stared down at me with raised eyebrows and I just chuckled to myself as I pulled myself off the floor. “It's the new gravity.” I joked and continued as though nothing had happened. Although my fall had been noticed by everyone in the room by now. Bulma, Videl, and Chi chi were sitting on a large yellow couch in the middle of the room while little Bra and Pan played on the floor.

 

“Vegeta who's your new friend?” Bulma asked as I righted myself.

 

I stepped forward and nodded my head to them politely before I could answer Vegeta did for me. “She's a saiyan. Evidently from another dimension. She wishes to learn from us. She'll be around for a while.”

 

I was astounded by how well he had articulated that and smiled as they all stared at me wide eyed. Before any of them could question me Bra and Pan saw my tail and clapped and squealed excitedly at my unexpected appendage. I noticed the other saiyans didn't have theirs so I was the odd one out at the moment and the main attraction for small easily excited four and five year olds. Pan ran to me and tried to grab it. I moved it higher out of her grasp and she laughed. “Look mommy! She has a tail and she can move it!”

 

I couldn't help, but smile. I had always been a sucker for little kids. All three of the woman seemed a little more at ease when Pan accepted me. I knelt down to her level and smiled. “Hi, what's your name?”

 

“Pan! And this is my friend Bra!” She said excitedly pulling me to the floor to see her friend.

 

“Pleased to meet you both.” I said politely earning grins from them.

 

“What's your name friend?” Bra asked me shyly.

 

I could tell that it was something everyone in the room was anxious to know by the way they watched me interacting with the small ones. “It's Holly.”
