CHAPTER 2
-------------------------

At the Son household, Chi-chi was proceeding to cook another famous, delicious dinner for her boys. And she was well aware of a certain saiya-jin sneaking up behind her.

"Ooo! That smells so good!" Goku chimed.

Chi-chi gleamed, "It should! It is your favorite dish after all."

"Sugoiii!" Goku smiled and carefully reached forward, "I wanna have a little taste..."

Chi-chi immediatley smacked his hand with a wooden spoon, "Iie!" she scolded, "We're all going to eat together as a family, do you understand??"

Goku groaned, rubbing his hand, "Moohh... you haven't changed one bit, Chi-chi..."

Chi-chi smirked, "Apparently, neither have you..." She then melted into a warm smile, "Goku-saa..." Goku blinked and looked down at her, "You know, it really feels wonderful having you back home with us..."

Goku smile, "Domo."

The woman blushed, "Well, also, it has been about seven years since you left... For a while I thought I had really lost you forever. But somehow I felt that you'd find your way back to me like you always have, and that's why I waited..."

Goku blinked, not sure how to respond, "Uh... domo?"

Chi-chi giggled, "You're so naive." She then wrapped her arms around Goku's waist, "Maybe that's why I love you so much. Now that we're together again, we really should celebrate and do something... y'know, special."

Goku blinked again, dumbfounded. "Um... Well, you are cooking my favorite dinner."

Chi-chi's head dropped, "Er, yeah, I am. For you, that is. But what about me? Can we do something later that I may enjoy...?"

"But Chi-chi, I don't know how to cook!"

"Oy!" Chi-chi groaned, "No no, Goku-saa! I mean... Later... much later... tonight."

"What do you mean...?"

"I mean... something along the lines of..." She placed her hands behind the bewildered Goku's head, leaned him closer, and rose her lips towards his...

"Tousan!!!"

Suprised, Chi-chi immediatley pushed Goku away before any of her sons saw the two get 'cozy'. From the other side of the room, Gohan and Goten raced down the steps, entering the kitchen excitedly. "Tousan, Goten and I are ready to head out and train!"

"Yeah!" the young Goten chirped, "Nii-san's gonna teach me the 'Masenko' blast!"

"You coming?" said Gohan, "Perhaps you can help Goten sharpen up on his Kame'kame'ha wave."

Goku grinned ear to ear, "Yosh'! If it's one thing I love more than eating, it's training with my boys!"

"Yatta!" Goten cheered, "Ikuzo!!!" He raced outside and took to the sky.

"Matte, Goten!" Gohan quickly followed and flew after him.

"Ja ne, Chi-chi!" called Goku as he ran outside after his sons, "See ya at dinner!"

"M, matte yo Goku-saa!" Chi-chi called up after his husband as he flew off into the sky. She watched as he and their two sons dissappeared over the horizon. "I guess there are some things that just won't change," she muttered.

She sighed and turned back inside the house to continue cooking. As she cooked dinner, she couldn't help but wonder about her husband... and if he even loved her the way she loved him. Surely, he loved her, but then he loved all his friends. If they haven't have even met, Goku probably wouldn't have ever even gotten married. Love played a little role in his life, which mainly consisted of eating, training, and saving the world from mortal danger. She even had to admit that she wanted to marry Goku because of her little infatuation at twelve years old. And him being the naive man he was, of course he didn't know what love was. Or still maybe didn't. Was all she was to him just somebody to cook and give birth to her sons?

She shook her head wildly. 'Don't think such things, Chi-chi,' she mentally scolded herself, 'The important thing is that you two are happy, and nothing will change that!' She continued cooking, but the thought still haunted her mind, '... Are we really?'





Unknown to everyone on the planet, a ship entered through Chikyuu's atmosphere. It wasn't detected, or even sighted, as it wasn't even seen.

"Spectra-sama," said Liw, "Do you think it's wise we just enter without proper notification? Somebody may think we're an enemy."

"I'm desperete... but I'm not stupid, Liw," Spectra sneered, "The cloaking barrier is up. Nobody can see our ship, let alone detect any ki. We wouldn't want any uninvited guests to try me on, when all we want is Son Goku."

She opened up the file containing the warrior's data. "North Quadrant Galaxy, and the planet Earth... check. Now all we need is to find out exactly where on this rock he lives." Clicking on 'Personal Info', she skimmed through. "Hm... address, address... Oh? What's this?" Her eyes came across a certain part of information that read, 'Two Son: Gohan; Goten.'.

"He has children. Hm..."

"I suppose this means he is unavailable, my lady?"

"Of couse not!" Spectra spewed, "Just becase somebody has a child doesn't neccssarily mean he's not available! You know there are races out there who either mate just for offspring, or take on more than one wife! This is nothing! Now help me find the address!"

"Hai, my lady..." Liw looked over the file alongside Spectra, though not really giving it her all. Killing the men who wish to marry her was one thing, but to actually come up and ask them to battle for marriage or be killed was something she was not the least bit supportive of.

"Ah, here we go!" Spectra smirked, "439 East District." She turned away, pressed a button on the wall, and a hatch below opened up.

"Spectra-sama!" Liw called, "If you leave the ship, you may reveal your ki level!"

"Of course!" Spectra called back, "I don't want the entire world to find me, but I certainly want Goku to come forward if he can sense it! Wait for me here, and prepare the battle arena!"
The atalanta-jin took off, flying through the air.



Goku was coaching Gohan and Goten's sparring match when he suddenly felt a strong ki far off. He turned his head in its direction. 'What in the world is this...?'

Being ki sensitive themselves, the boys stopped their spar and glanced upwards towards it as well. "Tousan," said Gohan, "What... or who, is this ki...?"

"I don't know..." Goku closed his eyes in order to get a better feel, "It's powerful, but it's completely unfamiliar..."

"It kinda feels bad," Goten shuddered.

"It's probably no big deal," his older brother assured, though he wasn't sure himself.

"Whatever it is, it's close by... and it's heading near our house!"

"Mama!!" Goten cried, looking as if he were about to spring into the air.

Goku held up his hand, "Stay here, you two. I'll check it out. If I need you, I'll raise my ki, got it?"

The two boys nodded as Goku took to the sky and headed towards their home.



Chi-chi glanced up in surprise as she heard the door knocked. She carefully moved her food off the stove so as not to burn it, and came up to the door. "Hai!" she called over to the intense knocking, opening it up.

Outside stood a red-haired woman, wearing a purple cape, red outfit, a golden crown, and gold boots. She didn't look like she was a very pleasent woman to begin with, as if she was constantly cranky.

Chi-chi blinked, "Um... may I help you?"

"I am here for Son Goku. May I ask where he is?"

Chi-chi's eyebrows knitted in concern, "Who are you?"

The woman smirked, "I am his bride."

"NANI?!" Chi-chi's eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets.

"You heard me. Now where is he?"

The black-haired woman gritted her teeth, "Who do you think you are saying that you're Goku's bride??"

The red-head sneered, "And who are you to say that I'm not?"

"I'm his WIFE!"

The other woman glared. Wife?? So this warrior was already married! Not that it would matter, since if he beat her in the games, he would end up with two, or otherwise none.

"I don't know who you are, miss," Chi-chi commanded, "But I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave!"

The woman raised her arm up, and slapped Chi-chi out of the way as she entered the house. "I will not go until I see Son Goku!" she shouted, "So unless you want to have a severe facial makeover, I suggest you tell me where he is!!"

Chi-chi glared daggers at the psycho. "Training."

The woman, seemingly fed up with this twit, grabbed her by the neck, throwing her up against the wall. "WHERE?!"

Despite the strong grip that was nearly choking and crushing her against the wall, Chi-chi kept her cool and didn't let her glare down. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!" she hissed, "Not until you at least tell me who you are and what you want with Goku-saa!"

"Abazureon'na!" the red-head screeched, tossing the freaked out housewife across the room. Chi-chi landed on the kitchen table, breaking under her weight. She slowly turned herself around and managed to climb up to a knee before the strange woman approached her, pointing her fist at her. "I can only be nice for so long... Now this is the last time..." The fist started glowing a light-blue aura, as if powering a ki blast, "Where is Son Goku?! "

Chi-chi only glared at the woman as the fist glew brighter and more shapely. Before it could have ever been shot, a strong hand reached up from behind, grabbing the woman's fist tightly, forcing the blue aura to die down.

"I'm right here," Goku responded coldy, tightening his grip on the woman's wrist.

The woman turned around, a bit pleased. She ripped her arm away from the saiya-jin as the ki died down completely. "Ah... there you are! You're just as handsome as your information described you."

"Who are you?" Goku demanded, ignoring the compliment. Chi-chi stood up from the remains of the table and raced over to Goku, hiding closely behind his back way from the psychotic alien girl.

"My dear, I am Spectra, a warrior of the Atalanta race," said Spectra, "And I have chosen you as my next competitor."

Goku raised an eyebrow. "Atalanta...?"

"Surely you've heard of us, haven't you?" Spectra mused, "I know we're ancient, but I would have thought we'd be known around the universe for our 'mating' habits."

"Mating...?"

"The Atalanta-jins were best known for choosing their mates through battle. If the opponent is strong enough to defeat the warrior, then he wins her hand in marriage. For eighteen years, I have been fighting man after man to find my mate, but apparently, I was gifted, or rather 'cursed' with such sheer strength... But you, you just might be strong enough to defeat me in battle!"

The atalanta-jin smirked, "What d'ya say? Wanna give it a shot?"

Goku's scowl deepened, "Not interested."

Needless to say, this was not the answer Spectra wanted to hear. "You don't seem to understand. This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity! Usually it's the opponents who demand a chance to battle the warrior! You have no idea how much of an honor it is for an Atalanta warrior to approach you and ask for a battle!"

Goku's expression remained unchanged, "Still not interested."

Spectra snarled, "I heard you were a Saiya-jin! Surely the very thought of a challenge would excite you, wouldn't it?"

"That's just it," said Goku, a smirk cracking from his lips, "You're not even a challenge."

Spectra blinked in suprise, then growled, "Ton'ma!!!" Her fist glowed as she powered up a ki blast and shot it at Goku. The saiya-jin quickly turned, pushed his wife out of harm's way, and held his other arm up to protect himself from the blast, that ended up shooting him across the room into the wall.

"If you think you can beat me so badly, then I surely encourage it!" said Spectra, "After all, the winner DOES get my hand in marriage! Wouldn't you want the strongest Atalanta-jin as your wife?"

Goku pulled himself from the wall, brushed himself off, and then smirked. "I'm already married."

Spectra sneered and she glanced over at Chi-chi, who was looking over at Goku smiling, happy at what he had said. Apparently the saiya-jin man was still attached to the first one. She then smirked devishly, "I see... I'll just have to put her out of the way!!"

Hearing that, Chi-chi gasped, and Goku shot forward at the atalanta-jin, "I won't let you hurt her!!!"

Spectra glanced back at Goku, staring into his eyes, and then shouted, "TAIYO-ME!!!"

At that, Goku stopped in his tracks as his eyes turned bright white, as if his pupils dissappeared. "GYAH!!" he cried, grabbing his eyes, "Shimatta!!!"

Chi-chi rushed over to try and help the blinded Goku, but in an instant, her arm was grabbed. She let out a shriek as Spectra dragged her outside the house and took off into the air.

Hearing the shriek, Goku looked up, but could only see a white blindess around him. "Chi-chi!!!" He felt Spectra's ki outside and tried racing out to follow her, but crashed into the wall next to the door in the process. "Aigh! Damn it!"

As he finally made it outside, he heard Spectra's voice far above him. "If you want your little wife back, then meet me later on my ship! We will battle there! Until then, I'll be taking her as 'collatoral'. Ja ne!"

Goku felt Spectra's ki as she flew off. He leapted into the air hoping to follow her, but thanks to her attack, he couldn't even see her. And apparently she was already long gone as her ki grew faint. The only thing left was Chi-chi's helpless cry, "Gookuuuu-saaaaaaa....!!!!"

"CHI-CHI!!!!" Goku cried, as he tried to home in Spectra's ki, but it had suddenly dissappeared. He couldn't even teleport to where she was without feeling it. He rubbed his eyes as they slowly started coming back to focus and quickly looked around himself. Everything was back in clear view, except for the fact that both Spectra and Chi-chi were no where to be found. And without a ki, things were hopeless.

He had lost Chi-chi.

Frustrated, pissed, Goku clenched his eyes, his teeth, and his fists. "S... SAAAAA!!!!!" he screamed as he charged back towards the earth, and punched a huge hole into ground, shattering it and 50 miles around him under his great force.

He sat there for a moment, angry, upset, unsure what to do, until he felt two familiar kis head towards his way.

"Tooousaaaan!"

"Paaapaaaa!"

Goku looked up to see his sons fly towards their home. Apparently, Goku had accidently let out a huge amount of ki that alerted them.

They landed by their father and raced to his side. "Tousan!!" Gohan cried, "Daijoubuka?! We felt your ki, and someone elses! Who was it??"

Goten looked around worried, "Where's Mama...?"

Goku silently looked back to the ground, "Gomen... but she's gone. She was taken by that stranger... Spectra."

Gohan gasped. "I... iie!"

Goten was in shock, but then immediatley burst into tears. "UWAAAH!!! I WANT MAMAAAA!"

"Tousan... who IS Spectra?? Where did she take Kaasan?"

"I don't know..." Goku murmured, "All I do know is that she's gone because Spectra wanted me." He then tightened his fist, a determined look spreading accross his face. "But I'm going to fix this, no matter what it takes... I will find her. And bring her back home, at any cost..."
