Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The End of the Androids ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

He floated there, amidst the angry voices filtering into his green pointy ears. Controversy erupted once he has transported back to Kame House. The dragon has said he was too late, the words still rung into his ears. He released a deep heavy sigh. What monster will appear this time? The very thought sent shivers up his spine.

Once Buu, then Freiza, there's no imagining what sort of power will generate from this awesome friction. The Namekians had had to create the new dragon before the old was completely dead. Those were the strict rules of Eternity. Now the Nameks were without a dragon; forever. If they ever had a desperate need they could come to Earth for all he cared.

He broke his meditation as he looked to the angry faces inside the house. The soft beat of oceanic tide splashing onto the shore played into hi ears. His cape flapped in back of him as his purple baggy pants rolled up in the wind. This was going to be one hell of a day.

"Stop your insolent chatter. We have other things to do," growled Piccilo as he stepped inside the white house. Everyone was standing yelling by the low couches.

Goku lowered his head as he said, "Piccilo… Master Roshi told us all of the madness of what could come from this new dragon. This is the third time it has happened, thus probably causing a greater demon of a monster. If that's true… what new dangers can come?"

Piccilo sighed as the rest wore faces of sorrowful angst. A new evil was arising; they were all powerless to it all. What chance did they have if it was too powerful? What chance did Earth have?

"Well," Vegeta started with a strong voice, "If a being is coming, then what are we waiting for? Shouldn't we be training? If we aren't strong enough then lets catch him off guard!" He grasped his fists as power glittered into his eyes. The all nodded softly.

"We don't even know when it's going to come. Or if it's even going to come to Earth! We have no idea if this is going to be an evil in three galaxies after us!" Piccilo screamed.

"Well Namek, it doesn't matter! All that matters is if it comes here! And if it does we should be ready," Vegeta yelled as he walked to Piccilo with a look of hatred.

"Do you have a problem Namek?!" Piccilo towered over him as Vegeta balled his fists.

"Hey! There's no need to fight over this!" Goku parted them both as he signaled them to calm down.

"I agree with Vegeta, we should all train in high intensity levels of gravity and such. We need to raise our powers by a lot if we are going to fight this being. I think we all learned our lesson with the androids…" With that comment everyone lowered their heads in shame. Bulma and Chi-Chi rushed to their lovers and gave them a long heartfelt hug. They all gave them whispers that they loved them as they started to cry. It had been almost twenty years since they had seen each other; this was their first emotional bond since then. Vegeta wore a look of sadness as his lover cried in his arms. Goku kept on hugging his wife as he felt tears coming up into his eyes.

Trunks looked at Gohan; he hadn't changed since he died. All except his arm was the same; it had regenerated in the Other World. Trunks had missed his master and teacher. He was also his friend; the loss had traumatized him leading into his sacred transformation. It had been over seven years since he had seen his best of friends, his only friend. Gohan then looked at him with sympathy as they each shook each others hands with glee. Tears started to come up into each others eyes as they each started to release tears as the grip on the hand tightened. They finally gave each other a pat on the back as they wiped the tears off of their face.

After that everyone got emotional while everyone gave each other long hugs while the tears came running down their face. Piccilo waited with his strong look and his arms crossed as Gohan came up to him and gave him a hug. His mood lightened as he spread a grin and hugged back.

Vegeta was their looking into his lover's eyes while he spread a loan smile as he kissed her. A single tear dropped from his face as he hugged her some more. He had missed her, he didn't know how much until now. All those years up their sparring with one in other got very lonely, especially without her… He hadn't known how much he really did love her. The feel of her in his arms sent pride to him, a girl like this he was destined to be with. He never knew that this `Earth girl' meant anything to him until a certain bond came across them both. It then hit them both; they loved each other with all of their hearts. A phrase Vegeta was never able to say out loud.

They all waved back at Kame House as each warrior went their different way. Goku and Gohan started their long flight up to Korin's Tower as Vegeta and Trunks headed out into the desert. Tien and Choatzu began their journey to cold wastelands of the Artic as Krillin and Yamcha went to the east to East City, while Piccilo stayed where he was at Kame House already silent in meditation.

The long hard training would be treacherous, but all would be not be in vain…
