The Amnesia Saga
Part 3
Orang and Tomata stood in the trees as they scanned down at the
floor. Orang’s face paled as he held
his stomach. “Oh, I’m so hungry.”
“Me too. That fruit we
several hours ago barely helped.” Tomata said as she held her knife. “Here Phanty. Phanty.” She said as she stared around. “The Tormans couldn’t wipe all of you off.”
They jumped to the ground and started to run toward some weak
ki. “I felt it.” Orang said as he flew
forward. They went through a bush and
saw a furry black giant animal. “Kinda
small.”
“It’s food.” Tomata said as she lashed at the animal. In a mere kick, the animal fell
bleeding. “Half and half?”
“Please.” Orang said as he got out his knife and skinned the
animal.
*****
They cleaned it off completely of it’s meat and guts. Saiyans can handle eating anything if
desprate enough. Orang quickly cooked
the creature with a well managed ki blast and the two began eating. After a few seconds, the skeleton
remained.
Orang took a deep breath.
“Oh man, that felt better.”
“Mmmhmmm...” Tomata agreed.
“Was it me or was that harder that time?”
“Your ki is lower than before.” Orang said as he rubbed his
arm. “Oh.”
“Arm bothering you again?”
“Yeah. I better avoid
using it for a while.”
A screech echoed in the woods.
“Damn it.” Tomata cursed as they got up.
“Termons.”
They flew off to the sounds.
*****
Bluberri cursed as she made the final modifications on the new
battle bots. It had been six months
since their arrival, five since the Termons came. After the festival, they would come attacking at least once a
week. At first, they focused on the
warriors and the castle. Then, they
began to attack the fields and the woods.
Food was starting to become scarce around causing rations to be
formed. Tomata and Orang cut down on
their food and relyed on hunting for most their food.
King Rasin had guards and guard bots constantly surveying the
territory and the villages for any sign of Termons attacking. So far, only Orang and Tomata could do any
severe damage to the monsters and even they were being worn down.
Bluberri used every bit of her gifts to aid. She improved the guard bots and tried to
find more improvements. When she's not
in the labs, she would be aiding the wounded.
"Bluberri!" Lemon yelled out as he helped two more
people in. "It's Orang and
Tomata!"
"No! Please, not
them." Bluberri exclaimed as she ran out of her lab and into the now
wounded ward.
Orang stood there holding his arm with Tomata leaning on him. They had been in most if not all of the
battles with the Tornams. Every battle,
caused them to get stronger but they also gain more and more injuries.
"Orang, Tomata, how many times must Dr. Prun tell you two
that you need rest!" Bluberri exclaimed as she helped Tomata to one of the
beds.
"I felt a Tornam attacking a village while Tomata and I were
hunting. I can't resist." Orang
explained as a nurse was looking over his arm.
"Yeow!" He yelled out in pain as it was being set in a cast.
"Serves you right." Bluberri muttered, "You Saiyans
can't resist a good fight."
"We can heal." Tomata explained, "Every battle
makes Saiyans stronger and every injury makes us stronger when we heal."
"You can't heal properly at this rate." Dr. Prun said as
he wrapped some fresh bandages over Tomata's old wounds.
"Just rest." Bluberri said, "I've improved the
guard bots. Maybe, they will slow them
down long enough for you to recover."
Gently, she forced Orang down on the bed and covered him up in a
blanket. "Please." She said
softly as she kissed Orang's lips. Over
the months, in between preparing for battle and the battle itself, Orang and
Bluberri grew close. Bluberri noticed
that she could almost feel his thoughts and feelings like her own. Tomata told her about a Saiyan bond but also
added how it could be impossible for a Saiyan and another from a different
species could bond.
"Okay." He said as he tilted his head to the side. A deep instinct called out to him. He didn't know what to do. "I wish we can get more Saiyans to this
planet."
"The Saiyans will just kill off the Tormans and conquer this
world." Tomata said sadly.
“What about Saiyans like me?”
“If they do exist, they may not know where you are. You and Bluberri have been here for half the
year, there’s no sign of aid coming.” Tomata said as she lay on her bed.
“Just rest.” Bluberri said as she got up, “I’ll go and try to get
you two something to eat.” She smiled
as she looked down at Orang who was already asleep.
“Orang...”
*****
It was dark as Chi Chi stared at the stars. Every night, she kept on looking out to see
the stars and wonder if Goku and Bulma had regained their memories. If Goku could remember, he could just lock
on to anyone’s ki and teleport himself and Bulma home.
A month after their disapearences, she had been having nightmares
about black monsters with giant wings attacking. Oddly enough, Vegita also have the same nightmares.
“Same nightmares?” Vegita asked as he came up.
Chi Chi nodded as she looked at him. Their bonds with their lost ones made it possible for them to
know that they are alive. “I can’t
stand it. Every night, it’s the same
thing.”
“Saiyan bonds are peculiar.
Kakarot and Bulma must’ve formed a bond by now if they don’t remember
who they are.” Vegita explained.
“I can’t stand it. Six
more months till we can get the Dragon Balls.” Chi Chi sat on the ground.
“I know what you mean.” Vegita said as he closed his eyes. **Bulma.
Damn it, woman! Speak to
me! Yell at me! Remember me! If you don’t, I’ll fly up there and grab you myself!!!**
*****
Bluberri rose her head.
There was a strange calling in her mind. She couldn’t quite understand why or how this feeling came. “Bluberri?” Dr. Prun asked, “Are you okay?”
Bluberri shook her head clear.
“I’m fine. It’s just that
feeling again.”
“I see. Something had been
calling you and Orang. What is it, I
don’t know.”
“Let’s just work on this.” Bluberri said as she adjusted the bot,
“Maybe, if we can enhanced these parts, we can give the warriors something else
to fight with besides their own ki.”
She held up a gun in her hand.
“I have to teach that Saiyan friend of mine how to use this.”
*****
“No, Orang! Not that
hard!” Bluberri yelled out as Orang was holding a large gun in his good
arm. “You’re squeezing that trigger too
hard!” Bluberri said as she looked at the gun.
The trigger was jammed but fortunately, it wasn’t loaded.
“I hate guns.” Orang complained as he gave Bluberri the gun back.
“Well, you and Tomata have been exhausting yourselves
senseless. And with that broken arm,
you can’t do that Kame blast.”
“Yes, I can.” Orang said as he held his palm up at a rock. “KAAAMMMEEEEHHHAAAAMEEE HA!!!” He yelled out
and a bolt of blue blast shot out of his hand and struck the rock. “See?”
“You need to save your power.
The others are making more for the other soldiers. It’s taking alot of resouces.” Bluberri fixed the gun and tossed it
back. “Try it again. It’s loaded now.” She ordered.
Orang scowled at her and sighed.
He lifted the gun up and gently squeezed the trigger. A bright blast shot out of the gun. “Like that?”
“Yes.” Bluberri said as she touched his good arm.
“I feel so uncomfortable like this.” Orang admitted as he dropped
the gun. “I want to use my own ki
power.”
“You’ll just exhaust yourself further. You may be the Super Saiyan but even Super Saiyans have their
limit.” Bluberri picked up the gun and held it to her.
Orang sat down on the ground and rubbed his broken arm. “Bluberri?”
“Yeah, Orang?”
“Do you think that there are other Saiyans like me? I mean, Tomata told me that there can only
be one Super Saiyan per thousand years but what if there’s others?”
“Tomata’s the expert in Saiyans, not me. I’m the genius in mechanical stuff.” Bluberri said as she sat
beside him.
“You are at that.”
The two sighed as Bluberri leaned into Orang’s good arm and chest.
*****
King Kai was silent as he was doing what any other god would
do. He stretched his mental eye to it’s
furthest to find his favorite pupil, Goku.
“Oh, Goku.” He muttered as he felt a tingle of evil in another part of
his galaxy. “Oh my. What evil.” He said as he turned to the direction.
It hit him like a giant banana creme pie. A surge of evil and a cry of fear reached
him. He never felt anything like that
since Freeza and the Saiyans. King Kai
looked down at a desolate planet. Parts
of it was burned and destroyed. A kingdom
was standing but with several parts destroyed.
In a clearing, he saw a couple of people sitting there. The man has obvious injuries and was holding
a gun in his non-bandaged arm. The
woman was sitting next to him. “Goku!”
King Kai exclaimed in joy and shock. He
jumped around in pure joy. After
several months of searching and worry, he knows where Goku and Bulma are. “Woo hoo!!!”
He jumped in joy as he looked on.
*****
“Bluberri?”
“Hmmm?”
“Why do I have a feeling we’re being watched?” Orang said as he
stood up and looked around.
Bluberri shook her head confused.
Suddenly, Orang’s confused expression changed to pure rage. “Tormans!” He yelled out as a black monster
appeared.
“Shit!” Bluberri cursed as she picked up her own gun and began to
fire. Orang turned Super Saiyan and
picked up his beloved.
“Let’s go.” He ordered as he flew inside the castle. The guard bots fire away as King Kai shook
with fear.
“No!” King Kai yelled out, “Not Tormans!”
He made sure where the two lost ones are ate and turned toward
Earth. The Z warriors must know what is
going on.
*****
Yamcha tucked Trunks into the bed. He had helped Vegita and the Briefs ever since Bulma
vanished. He and Bulma are still close
friends despite Trunks. In fact, when
Trunks needed a friend and someone to beat up and Goten wasn’t around, Yamcha
would be there.
**Yamcha!** King Kai’s voice rang out in his head, **I got some
fantastic news! Guess who I found while
scanning the galaxy? I’ll give you a
hint, one of them was your girlfriend.**
“Bulma and Goku?”
**Got it.**
“Yes! Trunks! Wake up!”
Trunks slowly opened his eyes.
“Huh?”
“King Kai found your Mom!”
“Mommy?!” Yamcha nodded as
Trunks flung his arms around his friend.
“I can’t wait to tell Goten!”
To be continued...
The Amnesia Saga
Part five
It was late at night as Gohan was looking over his books. He had been doing make up work to make up
for the classes he missed. Although
that he had already made up for all the time he missed as well as gotten ahead
of the other students, it became a habit for him to study whenever he felt
nervous. It was a habit that had been
to him. When he needed to forget about
the pressures of being part Saiyan, he just open up a text book and read
it. Besides, it keeps his mom off his
back.
The phone rang as he stood up.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Gohan? It's
Yamcha! Great news! King Kai found Goku and Bulma!"
Gohan stood there almost speechless and then exclaimed, "Woo
hoo! DAD'S ALIVE!!!" He flew off
(literally) to his mom's room and opened the door.
Chi Chi sat up exhausted.
"Gohan, how many times must I tell you about flying in the
house?"
"Mom! It's
Yamcha! King Kai found Dad and
Bulma!"
Chi Chi blinked and exclaimed, "What?! Goku!
King Kai found Goku! Where is
he?!" She jumped out of bed and looked in the mirror to fixed her hair.
"What's going on?" Goten asked as he came in the room.
"King Kai just found your father!" Chi Chi cheered as
she picked up the dazed demi-Saiyan and danced around. "Oh, Gohan, where is he?"
"I... forgot to ask." Gohan said sheepishly as everyone
facefaulted. "I left Yamcha on
hold."
With that last sentence, Chi Chi and Goten rushed to the phone.
*****
The sun slowly rose as a group of tired Z warriors entered the
Capsule Corps. Yamcha, Trunks, and
Vegita were in normal clothes. Everyone
else were somewhat sloppy in their attire.
"We're here, Yamcha." Krillian said as he was brushing
his hair. "Master Roshi's with
Marron."
"With Turtle watching Master Roshi." 18 added as she
rubbed her eyes.
"Good." Vegita said as he looked at everyone.
**I'm glad everyone's together.
I can explain what happened with Goku and Bulma without having to repeat
everything in this fic.** King Kai's voice rang out to the group.
"What happened to Mommy?" Trunks asked outloud.
**She's fine. Both Goku
and Bulma are okay. For now.** King
Kai's voice shook with worry.
"For now?" Tien repeated.
**The planet they're on, Lotcamel, is being attacked by
Tormans. A race of destructive aliens
that love nothing more than eating aliens.
They can die but reproduce quickly.
They hibernate for long periods of time. Unfortunately, every thousand years, they would pick a planet to
feed off of before going to sleep. They
love meat.**
"I thought those were mere myths." Vegita muttered as
his face paled. "Can Kakarot still fight?"
**Oh yes. He remembered
how to fight and use ki. He can even go
Super Saiyan. The only problem is that
he doesn't know how to teleport or use the Spirit Bomb.**
"What about Bulma?" Vegita demanded, "Is Kakarot
with her?"
**Oh yes. They're still
together.**
"Good. Where's this
Lotcamel?" Vegita said as he sighed in relief of Bulma being alive.
**Let's see... the coordinates are 4513258.** King Kai said as he
looked up the planet's coordinates in his handy dandy planet address book for
Gods.
"That's further away from Earth than Namek was." Gohan
muttered. "We got to get to Dad and Bulma before those Tormans do."
*****
Trunks and the other Z warriors walked out to the back yard where
they saw the giant space ship. It
looked like three Saiyan space pods fused incorrectly. Dr. Briefs was on the top doing some
modifications. "Is it ready
yet?" Vegita demanded as Dr. Briefs nearly fell over.
"Almost!" He yelled out as he climbed down.
The Z warriors fell over.
"Almost? Almost!" Chi
Chi yelled out as she grabbed the doctor by the coat.
"I just need to put some final adjustments in. Let me show you." He offered as he
opened the door. It opened with a hiss
and the group walked inside. It was
spacious with three separate doors.
"It has a kitchen with enough food to feed ten Saiyans. A separate gravity/training room that's
completely isolated for those who can't use it safety. Several sleeping chambers. A very powerful space rocket engine, a high
tech radio that will link up to our labs immediately, a high density force
field as well as a nasty set of weapons for space battles."
"Whoa." Goten said wide eyed.
"What's missing?" Piccolo asked as he crossed his arms.
"This looks all set to me."
"Something vital." Dr. Briefs said as he sighed. "A karaoke bar."
The group fell over again.
"A karaoke bar?" Yamcha repeated in disbelief.
"Yes. You can't go
out into outer space without a good karaoke bar." Dr. Briefs said with
great importance in his voice.
"Grandpa, I think we can do without the karaoke." Trunks
said as he tugged at his grandfather's arm.
"Please, I want Mommy back."
"Now now. Patience is
a virtue." Dr. Briefs philosophize.
"I wanna go now!!!" Goten demanded as he stomped his
foot.
"Are you sure you don't need the karaoke bar?" Dr.
Briefs asked.
"I've been through missions without a karaoke bar."
Vegita growled, "Let's go."
Dr. Briefs sighed.
"Okay, I'll go and get the space suits."
*****
"Are you sure, you want to come, Mom?" Gohan asked for
the tenth time as he and his family were putting on their space suits.
"Yes, I'm sure." Chi Chi said as she strapped on her
weapons. "I've let you go to Namek and I couldn't sleep. I'm coming this time. Besides, Goten is coming too. I'm not being left alone again!"
Gohan nodded as he glanced at the group. It was going to be one of the biggest space adventure he had
dreamt of. Piccolo, himself, Goten,
Trunks, and Vegita were the first ones that were needed due to their combined
fighting power. Krillian, Yamcha,
Master Roshi, his mother, and Puar came along to help Goku and Bulma regain
their memories. Although, he believed
that Master Roshi came just to see Bulma.
18 didn't come since she had to watch Marron.
"Oh boy." He muttered as he checked the Senzu
beans. There were only fifteen Senzus
for the entire group.
"Vegita?" He asked the Saiyan Prince as he entered the
room.
"What, boy?"
"Promise me that we don't have to use the Senzus before we
get there." Gohan said worried, "We may need them when we get to
Lotcamel."
"Don't worry. Dr.
Briefs just told me that we have regeneration tanks for healing. The Senzus are just for emergencies."
"How come he didn't say so before?" Gohan wondered.
Vegita grumbled. "He
didn't think it was so important."
Gohan fell over as Vegita looked down.
"That was my reaction too."
*****
Tomata was gathering some fruit into her arms. Her face was scratched in several
places. Her outfit was torn up. “I think I got enough.” She said as she
landed and handed the fruit to her friend.
Orang’s arm was in a sling and his leg was wrapped in a bandage. “Here.”
“Thanks.” Orang ate some of the fruit in a few gulps.
Tomata ate the rest. “You
shouldn’t have taken that last battle by yourself. You can barely go Super Saiyan without screaming in pain. You can barely stand now.”
“I have to protect you.” Orang argued, “You’re weaker than me.”
“Exactly, you’re the Super Saiyan. If you die, there will be no more Super Saiyans left. There can only be one! You are the first Saiyan I met in a long
time and I don’t want to be alone again.”
“You’re never alone.” Orang got up and hovered in mid-air. He fell down again but the woman caught him.
“Thanks. Let me get you
back.”
“But-”
“No buts! We Saiyans might
be powerful and you are the most powerful Saiyan here but I won’t let you die.”
Tomata took Orang over her shoulder and flew to the castle.
*****
"Are we there yet?" Goten asked as he and Trunks were
getting some poker lessons from Puar.
"No. We won't be
there for another day." Chi Chi said as she checked the course. They had been in space for a week. Piccolo and Vegita had been sparing in the
gravity room. Master Roshi was relaxing
in his private room capsule 'reading' his magazine collection. Krillian and Yamcha had been astral sparing
since neither of them could handle the high gravity. Chi Chi was busy cooking for the entire group and checking to see
how far they went.
Vegita came out of the gravity room covered in sweat followed by
an exhausted Piccolo.
"Remind me not to trust that thing again." Piccolo
growled.
"It wasn't that bad.
I had it on light for your sake."
Piccolo got out his right hand from under his cape. It was longer than his left hand. "Namekians aren't built for high
gravity." He said as he focused on his arm to get it back to normal size.
*****
Krillian and Gohan stepped out of the spaceship. "Krillian? You remembered Namek?" Gohan asked as he looked around the
landscape.
Krillian nodded.
"Yeah. I died the second
time there. I hope the planet won't be
destroyed when we leave."
The two stood in silence as they recalled their travels with
Bulma. True, she was somewhat uptight
and bitchy the entire time but her mind was somewhere else.
Goten and Trunks rushed outside and looked around in awe. "Wow." Goten said as Chi Chi
walked up and grabbed his and Trunks' hand.
"Now, Goten, Trunks, you two stay close to me. I don't want either of you to get into
trouble."
"Yes, Mommy." Goten said as he looked down.
Roshi and Yamcha walked out with Puar trailing behind. Roshi had that look of seriousness in his
face. Despite his... pervertedness, he
still have three hundred years of experience in him. When there isn't a hotty around, he can be the wise old sensie
that he wanted everyone to consider him to be.
"I don't know why I'm here, Master Roshi. I'm nowhere near anyone's strength
here."
"You know that we need to jog Goku and Bulma's memory. You knew those two longer than me."
"I know but what if Goku became one of the enemies? What if he attacks us?"
"We just have to trust his heart." Roshi said as he
sighed.
*****
For reasons that couldn't be quite explained, Goku and Bulma's ki
couldn't be felt due to all of the evil energies that's emanating in the air. The group decided to split up into several
teams. Chi Chi, Puar, and Master Roshi
stayed behind since they were the weakest.
They stayed to guard the ship and keep contact between the groups. Yamcha flew to the west as he glanced at the
landscape. It was a war zone. The smell of rotting corpse filled the air
and almost made him sick. Then, he saw
a flock of dragon like creatures swarming over a spot. A blast made it’s way out of the flock. “Oh no.” he muttered as he landed to the
ground.
One of the monsters growled, “Yum.... tasty Saiyan meat.”
“Tasty Saiyan meat?” Yamcha repeated as he paled. Vegita wasn’t anywhere near him as well as
the demi-Saiyans. There was only one
Saiyan he knew of that would be here.
“GOKU!!!” He yelled out as he powered up and charged at the flock. “YOU MONSTERS!!! KEEP AWAY FROM HIM!!!” Yamcha ordered as every ounce of power in
his being erupted.
“KAAAAMEEEEHHHAAAMMMEEE HA!!!” He chanted as he lash out a destructive
blast at the creatures. The creatures disbursed
and the human flew to the creature’s prey.
“Goku? Are you o-?” He stopped
in mid-sentence as he looked down at a bloody woman. Her outfit was ripped in several pieces. There were bandages all over her arms and
legs. Her shirt was torn in half to
reveal the fact that she’s a woman.
There was a distinct red ‘X’ on her face. Yamcha turned bright red.
“OOPS.”
The woman looked up at him.
She smiled slightly. “I’m...
afraid... you’re... little... too late.
*cough*.” she croaked out. “At least...
I won’t... be... Torman chow.”
Yamcha took out his sack.
They divided the Senzu beans between them. He have only two to use.
“Here.” He said as he knelt down to the woman. “Eat this. Trust me.”
The woman glanced at him with weary eyes. She opened her mouth and Yamcha fed her the
bean.
“We had her!!!” a voice screeched as Yamcha looked up to see the
monsters flying at him.
“Damn it!” He exclaimed as he fired several blasts into the air.
A bright disk came out of nowhere and slashed through several
Tormans. Yamcha grinned. “Krillian!” He exclaimed as the former monk
flew down to the ground.
“Hey! I saw that Kamehame
and thought Goku was here.”
“That was me.” Yamcha said sadly as he looked at the woman while
trying not to see her... exposed area.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Tomata.”
Tomata introduced herself as she crossed her arms and asked, “How did
that tiny thing heal me?”
Krillian saw the woman and turned red. “Errr... ahhh... hi.”
Yamcha replied as he grinned, “Senzu beans. Their magic. Ahhh...”
Tomata smiled at him.
“Thank you for saving my life.
That was brave of you.”
“Sure.. no oohhh problem.”
Yamcha took off the top part of his outfit and handed it to her. “Here.”
“Thank you.” Tomata said as she took the shirt and put it on. “You two aren’t from around here are you?”
“Yeah.” Krillian spoke up now not being distracted by Tomata’s
features. “We’re from Earth.”
“Never heard of it.” Tomata said as she looked at her shirt again. There was something familiar about the
outfit of her hero. “What are your
names?”
“I’m Yamcha and this is Krillian.
Are you a Saiyan?”
“Yes.” Tomata replied as she stretched. “I haven’t felt this good in months. I nearly forgot what it was like to have no broken bones.”
Krillian and Yamcha’s jaws dropped. “Wow. I thought there’s
no female Saiyans.” Yamcha observed.
Tomata turned on her heel and faced the duo. “What do you mean?” She had a genuine confused look on her face.
“You mean, you didn’t know?”
“About what?”
Tomata shook her head.
Krillian took Yamcha to the side and whispered, “I don’t know about
Saiyan women but if they’re like Human women they must have one nasty
temper. We better be gentle with the
answer.”
“I can hear you.” Tomata said as she looked down at a crushed
giant lizard. “Darn it. Orang is so hungry too. Do you have more of those Senzu beans? I have a friend who’s very strong but badly
injured. I was trying to get some food
for us when I got attacked.”
Yamcha and Krillian glanced at each other with wondering
glances. “Hey, Tomata,” Krillian spoke
up, “is this Orang guy a Saiyan about...” He hovered over Yamcha and put his
hand several inches over him. “this
high, big hair, black eyes, and loves to fight.”
“Yes.” Tomata said as Yamcha and Krillian grinned.
“And is he with a woman slightly shorter than you, with blue hair
and blue eyes?” Yamcha added as he
looked on.
“Yes!” Tomata exclaimed as she smiled, “You know them?!”
“You bet!” Killian jumped high into the air. “Woo hoo!
We found them!”
“This way.” Tomata said as she flew up into the air. “Hurry.
Those Tormans will come back with friends.”
The three rushed over to the castle. Tomata landed and gestured to a door in the ground. “It’d down here.” She said as she opened the
door.
The three walked down the long stairs. Yamcha could hear various moans and sobs. “How long has it been like this?” He asked.
“Over five months.” Tomata replied sadly, “It’s horrible. So much carnage. Orang and I loved the fighting but not at the cost of innocent
lives.”
“Where is he?” Krillian asked.
Tomata pointed and the three walked through a long hallway. Krillian could see several eyes staring at
him. The aliens looked human except for
the pink skin, blue eyes, and purple hair.
An old man with a long purple beard and long hair came up. “Tomata!
Your wounds! How?”
“A miracle.” Tomata said as she smiled, “These two are friends of
Orang and Bluberri. They know who they
are.”
“That’s wonderful. They’re
this way. Hurry, Orang isn’t looking
well.”
“His name is Goku.” Krillian said as the four rushed down the long
hallways. Yamcha and Krillian ran up
and saw a familiar figure lying on a bed.
His body was wrapped in many bandages.
His arm was in a cast as well as his leg. His face was hidden except for his closed eyes and his
mouth.
“Orang, wake up.” Tomata pleaded as she looked around. “Where’s Bluberri?”
“She’s getting some water for Orang.” Dr. Prun replied.
Yamcha and Krillian stared at his friend. Yamcha took out his Senzu bean. “Here it is.”
Orang opened his eyes at the strangers. “Eat this.” Krillian ordered as he held the bean in his
hand.
Orang looked over at Tomata who whispered, “Go ahead. It’s magic.” Goku opened his mouth and Krillian leaned down and put it in the
Saiyan’s mouth. He swallowed it and sat straight up.
“Whoa.” He muttered as he got up.
He flexed his muscles and the bandages snapped off to reveal him only
wearing a ragged pair of pants and shoes.
“I feel great! Thanks!”
Krillian’s eyes teared up as he flung himself on to Goku. “Goku!
It’s so good to see you again!”
Yamcha joined in the hug as Goku was standing there almost
confused.
“Who are you?”
Yamcha and Krillian let go and Krillian said, “It’s me,
Krillian. Remember? We trained together under Master Roshi.”
Goku grinned helplessly.
“Sorry. Is that my name? Goku?”
“Yeah.”
“Orang!” A familiar voice screeched out. Goku looked behind him to see Bluberri standing there.
“Bulma.” Yamcha whispered.
Bulma looked worn out. Her blue
hair had grown down to her shoulders.
Her dress was worn out and dirty.
“It’s okay. I’m healed.”
He ran in a blur to Bluberri and picked her up. “See?”
Bulma smiled. “I see.”
Goku brought her to his body and gave her a passionate kiss.
Krillian and Yamcha’s eyes bulged as the two jaws dropped down to
the ground. Bulma and Goku kept on
kissing as Dr. Prun smiled. “They make
such a lovely couple.”
“I can think of a couple of people who would disagree.” Yamcha
finally said as he sweatdropped. **Like
Chi Chi and Vegita.**
Finally, the two stopped kissing and Goku looked at the two
stunned humans. “Bluberri, these two
said that they know us before we lost our memories.”
“Really?” Bulma asked as she stared up at Yamcha. “Is that true? How do we know your telling the truth?”
“They described you perfectly.” Tomata replied, “And they knew
about Saiyans.”
“Do you have anything to prove it to us?”
Yamcha nodded as he got out his wallet. He looked in for a second and got out a small picture. “Here.” He said as he handed it to the
suspicious woman.
Bulma and Goku looked at the picture to see Bulma standing there
with Yamcha. They were in a hugging
position. “Wow.” Goku said as Bulma
handed the picture back.
“I guess, you are telling the truth.” Bulma said as she held
Goku’s hand. “What’s our names?”
“Your name is Bulma Briefs.” Yamcha explained, “And you’re Goku.”
“Bulma?” Bulma repeated as she looked at Or- Goku. “Goku?”
“Goku doesn’t sound like a Saiyan name.” Tomata observed.
“Well... that’s what we call him.
It’s a long story.” Krillian explained. “Ummm... Bulma, are you and Goku
close?”
“Huh? Sorry, yes, Or- Goku
and I are close.” Bulma said as she held Goku’s hand. She glanced at Yamcha, dropped the hand, and asked, “Are you and
me close before?”
“Yes! I mean no! I mean...” Yamcha’s face turned beet red.
“We used to be. But we just broke up
before.”
“Oh.” Bulma looked down, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.”
“That’s okay. We’re still
friends though.”
“That’s good.” Goku said as he grinned. “Is that why you two were so shocked when we kissed?”
“Sort of.” Krillian said as he tried to explained, “You see...
umm...”
Sirens rang through the air.
“Damn it! Tormans are
attacking!” Goku said as he turned Super Saiyan. “Lucky thing I’m healed up.” He flew out with Tomata trailing
him.
“Oh man.” Yamcha said as he and Krillian followed. “Who’s going to tell Vegita and Chi Chi?”
*****
Or- Goku and Tomata shot out of the ground and up to the air. "What is that?" Goku asked
pointing to the source of the alarms.
He was tall and green. He was
wearing a turban with a long cape.
"I don't know." Tomata said as they flew up to the
man.
The green man looked up stunned.
Goku and Tomata flew up and started to beat on him. "I don't know who or what you are, but
I'm stronger now since I'm healed." Goku said as the green man started
blocking the assault.
Yamcha and Krillian looked at the fight. "GOKU, STOPPED!!!
HE'S A FRIEND!!!" Krillian yelled out as he flew up to the Super
Saiyan.
Tomata ripped off Piccolo's arm.
Yamcha grabbed her hand knowing the power of a Saiyan. "Tomata, relax he's with us."
Goku and Tomata stopped and Piccolo scowled. "I was looking around when I saw this
place." He explained. "I
thought I would find out what's going on."
Goku and Tomata smiled and sweatdropped. Tomata looked down at the arm and handed it back to the
Namekian. "Here. I'm so sorry about that." Tomata said
as she grinned.
"Keep it." Piccolo said as he focused. A black glow came around his shoulder and in
another arm sprouted out in a green slime.
Goku and Tomata stared.
“Namekian.” Tomata said softly, “I heard about Namekians. Are you one of those?”
“Yeah.” Piccolo replied, “It’s good to see you again, Goku.”
“You knew me?”
Piccolo nodded. “I knew
you. I even tutored yo-”
“WHAT IS THAT?!” a familiar voice screeched out.
Goku looked down.
“Bluberri! I mean, Bulma! What are you doing here?!”
“The guard bots detected something that’s not Torman, Saiyan,
Lotcamelian, or what ever I am! I just
had to see what it was.” Bulma explained as she came up. “What is he?”
“My name is Piccolo.” Piccolo introduced himself. “I’m a Namekian.”
“He’s a good guy.” Yamcha added on.
Tomata spoke up. “*whew* I
think we got some time before the Tormans attack again. How many did you kill?” She asked Yamcha.
“I think I got one.
Krillian got five.”
“Good.” Goku said, “Tormans often run off after they loose a
few. We have a couple of days before
they attack again. Are there any more
of you?”
“Yeah.” Krillian said as he took out a walkie-talkie and talked
into it. “Hey, guys! It’s Krillian! Great news! I found Goku
and Bulma! Yeah, they’re okay. We’ll meet in the spaceship.” He flew up again and pointed forward. “It’s this way.”
“Great.” Goku said as he picked up Bulma and flew in that
direction. Piccolo glanced at Goku and
just flew off. Yamcha and Krillian was
about to follow when Yamcha noticed Tomata was just standing there.
“Tomata? Don’t you want to
come with us? There’s a few Saiyans
like you with us.”
“I can’t.” Tomata explained with a pained expression, “I’m an
exiled. Saiyans are supposed ignore me
completely. They would just ignore or
kill me.”
“They won’t.” Yamcha promised, “A... lot of things happened to the
Saiyans. Don’t worry.”
Tomata stared up at the Earthling. He wasn’t wearing a Freeza uniform or a Saiyan uniform. He had that ‘trust me’ appearance. He did save her life and he obviously didn’t
know about her exile. “Okay.” she said
as she smiled at him.
*****
Orang held Bluberri close to his chest. His heart pounded as he see a giant spaceship. He now knows that his name is ‘Goku’ and
that there was a planet called Earth.
He could see several people on the ground. An old guy wearing sunglasses, a furry animal hovering in
mid-air, a woman with dark hair that looks somewhat like Tomata only without
the tattoo, a man that looked almost identical to him but with different hair,
a small boy with purple hair that would pass as a Furan, a man with piercing
black eyes and hair that stood up with a will of its own, and another small boy
who looked just like him only much smaller.
He landed close to them as the others also landed. He gently put Bulma down and they stared at
the group. “Errr... hi.” Goku said as
he grinned.
Krillian and the others landed and Krillian introduced, “Goku,
these are your friends.” Tomata landed
at a distance. She recognized Vegita
immediately.
**He barely changed. He’s
so strong. I wonder if he and Orang are
related?**
“Hi. I can’t remember any of you.” Goku said as he grinned
nervously.
Chi Chi ran up to him followed by Gohan and Goten. “GOKU!!!” she sobbed out as she tackled the
confused man. Gohan and Goten followed
her example. Goku’s eyes widen as Chi
Chi wrapped her arms around him. “I
missed you.”
“Uhhh...”
Chi Chi looked deep into his eyes. “You don’t remember me, do you?”
“I wish I can. You three
are related to me?”
“Of course!” Chi Chi said as he released his grip, “My name is Chi
Chi. The handsome man is Gohan and the
boy who looks just like you is Goten.”
“Wow.” Goku said as he looked at the group. “I wish I know you guys.”
“What about me?” Bulma asked. “Do I have any family?”
Trunks walked up. “Yeah!”
He exclaimed as he ran up and hugged his long lost mother. Vegita smiled at him. His ‘queen’ had returned to him. True, she’s looking at him with stranger’s
eyes but she’s alive and well. “It’s
me, M-”
The touching scene was interrupted by a screech. Goku and the group looked up to see a group
of Tormans flying toward them. “DAMN
IT!!!” Goku yelled out as he went Super Saiyan. “They came back! Can you
guys fight?”
“Of course. Mystic!” Gohan
yelled out as his ki flared up. Goten,
Trunks, and Vegita all turned Super Saiyan to Goku and Tomata’s shock.
“You guys can go Super Saiyan too?! I thought I was the only one.”
“You’re wrong, Kakarot.” Vegita said as he flew up and attacked
the head Termon. “BIG BANG!!!”
The group fought. Chi Chi
got out her automatic machine gun and started firing. Master Roshi used his martial arts to keep himself from getting
eaten. Puar was hiding in the space
ship. Bulma ran to the woods where she
saw Tomata.
“Tomata?! Why aren’t you
helping them?” She asked as she dodged the blasts.
“I can’t face Vegita.” Tomata replied, “He’ll kill me. He told me himself on Planet Vegita. Besides, not even a group of Tormans can
handle a group of Super Saiyans.”
A Torman screeched as it lashed out before getting blown up by a
Maseko.
“I see.” Bulma said as she watched her lover punching away.
“I wish I was up there.” Tomata moaned.
Suddenly, two Tormans shot down at the two. “Shit!!!” Bulma exclaimed as Tomata attacked
the two Tormans. She didn’t see the
third one flying at her before it grabbed her in it’s long talons. “ORANG!!!
HELP!!!”
Goku’s sensitive ears picked up her plea. “BLUBERRI!!!” He screamed as he flew up to
the Torman and blasted it’s arm off. He
caught her and pried her out. “Are you
okay?”
Bulma nodded as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “I wish I brought my gun.”
Vegita blasted the Ternom away and looked at the two. The Termons were destroyed by the Super
Demi-Saiyans. “Are you okay?” Vegita
asked Bulma.
“I’m fine, sir.” Bulma replied as Goku gave her a passionate kiss.
Gohan and everyone else besides Tomata face faulted. Piccolo’s eyes bulged as he nearly fell over
too. He had seen many things in his
life as both Kami, Nail, and Piccolo but the concept of Goku and Bulma was
staggering.
Goten and Trunks paled.
They knew about their parents travels together but they never would
think that Goku and Bulma would kiss on the lips. Trunks wondered how much his parents truly loved each other
now. Goten felt sick to his stomach.
Gohan’s eyes bulged as the possibilities of what Goku and Bulma
did during their absence. He knew that
his father would never betray his mother but Goku doesn’t even know that he’s
married. A frightening question
overcame him, what if Goku did regain his memories but stopped loving his
mother?
Goku released his grip.
“Don’t worry me ever again, my beloved.” He said softly.
“YOUR WHAT?!” Vegita and Chi Chi exclaimed as Krillian and Yamcha
sweatdropped.
“Uh oh.” Master Roshi muttered as he feared the wrath of the two
most feared warriors on Earth.
He had always considered Kakarot to be a rival. The reason he has to get stronger. Seeing his mate kissing his rival and being
called ‘beloved’ is too much. His pride
had been ripped into shreds. His mate
isn’t truely his anymore. Every ounce
of power and rage roared into him.
Vegita went Super Saiyan II and proclaimed, “KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY
MATE!!!”
“Vegita’s... mate?” Tomata whispered as Goku went Super Saiyan and
defended himself against Vegita’s fury.
In Saiyan culture touching another warrior’s mate, especially that of
royalty is considered a crime of treason and death by poison. At that moment, she wished that she haven’t
helped bring Orang and Bluberri together.
“Your mate?” Goku asked confused.
“Yes, his mate!!!” Chi Chi
yelled as she knelt down with tears coming down her cheeks. “And you’re my husband!!!”
“Your husband?” Goku asked as he went Super Saiyan II. “I thought you’re my sister.”
Chi Chi’s body become covered with a red ki. Her face became cold as she stood up. Gohan gulped as he took the confused Goten
and Trunks to the side. “Let’s go to
the side.” He suggested as he and every other Z warrior ran out of the way.
Chi Chi got out a frying pan and proclaimed for every person to
hear, “I’LL MAKE YOU REMEMBER ME, SON GOKU!!!”
Chi Chi and Vegita teamed up and started to bash in Goku's
head. Goku held his head as raging
fists and frying pan struck him.
"OW!!!"
"Stop it!" Bulma pleaded as she ran to Chi Chi and
grabbed her frying pan.
Chi Chi growled as she glared at her. "You bitch." She said as she punched the confused
woman.
"I'm the bitch?" Bulma asked as she kicked her. "You're attacking my man!"
"Your man? YOUR
MAN?!" Chi Chi screamed as she punched her.
"Mommy!" Trunks screamed as he ran to the two only to be
stopped by a firm hand.
Gohan looked down at the boy and said, "Trunks, wise men
don't interfear with cat fights."
"What's a cat fight?" Goten asked.
"Something that happens between two mad women." Roshi
replied.
"I have to save her." Tomata muttered as she flew up at
superspeed and flung Chi Chi off of her friend.
"What the?" Chi Chi asked as she flipped back and landed
on her feet.
"Who are you?" Gohan asked. **Why does she look like Videl?**
"My Fruan name is Tomata.
I am ripped off my Saiyan name." Tomata introduced herself as she
looked down at Chi Chi. "I have to
protect my friend."
"Mommy!" Trunks exclaimed as he ran up and hugged her.
"Mommy?" Bulma muttered as she stared out.
"You're a Saiyan?!" Chi Chi yelled out as she wielded
her pan and started to swing at the young Saiyan.
"Yes." Tomata replied as she dodge and darted the
blows. **This woman isn't a
Saiyan. She doesn't smell like
one. Yet...** she dodged a blow to the
head, **she fights like one.** She rose
her hand and blocked the frying pan.
She gently punched the air and blew the woman away.
Chi Chi landed on the ground with a hard thud. She looked down and sobbed. "Goku."
Up above, Goku and Vegita traded blows. The two are in Super Saiyan II mode. They were focused on their battle. Goku was angry at the fact that Vegita was beating him up for
kissing his beloved. Goku did a
twirling kick at the enraged prince.
"Look, Vegita, I didn't know that Bluberri was yours."
"SHUT UP, KAKAROT!!!" Vegita boomed as his ki flaired.
Goku glared. "I love
the fight but this has to end." He felt his rage building. His near death experiences caused him to get
stronger. He went beyond Super
Saiyan. Now, he must go beyond beyond
Super Saiyan. His hair grew below his
waist, his rage build his power.
Vegita's face became filled with shock. "Super Saiyan III."
"No!" Tomata yelled out. "Orang! That mode exhausts you!"
"I feel fine!" Goku yelled out as he punched Vegita with
his new power. Vegita landed on the
ground in the newly formed crater.
Vegita growled as he got up.
"I see that amnesia haven't soften you, Kakarot."
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks flew up to Vegita in Super Saiyan
mode. "Stop it, Vegita!"
Gohan ordered as he glared at Goku.
"Please. Stop it."
Goku nodded and turned back to normal. He grinned. "That
was a good fight. Are you an elite
too?"
Vegita choked a little as the others began laughing. "YOU ARE NOT AN ELITE!!!" Vegita
screamed out.
"I'm not?" Goku asked as he looked at Tomata who was
standing there silently, "But Tomata told me that I must be an elite since
I'm so strong."
"Tomata?" Vegita said as he looked at the young
Saiyan. "Exile, I thought you're dead."
"No, I survived, my lord." Tomata said as she knelt down
and crossed her arm over her chest.
"Tomata?" Goku asked.
"Shut up and kneel.
Vegita is the prince of Saiyans.
The most powerful of the elite." Tomata said without looking
up. "His word is law and you just
kissed his mate."
"Uh oh." Goku muttered as he knelt down the same way as
Tomata. "Like this?"
Tomata glanced at her friend and nodded. "Perfect."
"Get up, Dad." Gohan muttered as he grabbed Goku's shirt
and pulled him up.
"Dad?" Goku repeated as he looked up at his son. "You're my _son_? I thought you and Goten are my
brothers."
Gohan and Goten face faulted.
"No way!" Goten exclaimed as he ran up to Goku. "You're my daddy."
Goku smiled sadly at the boy.
"Sorry, I wish I can remember you."
"Tomata." Yamcha said as he looked down at the still
kneeling Saiyan. "You can get
up. Vegita won't kill you. Right?"
Vegita grumbled. Trunks
spoke up, "You won't be killed, Tomata, won't you, Daddy?"
"I won't." Vegita finally said, "Get up,
Nameless."
Tomata rose to her feet.
"Yes, sire." **Daddy?
That purple hair kid's dad is Prince Vegita?**
"Ummm... Tomata, what did you do to make you exiled?"
Yamcha asked as Goku was getting up.
"It's a long story." Tomata replied as she smiled,
"I was exiled from Planet Vegita because my family was against the purging
of planets. Enough about me, what about
you?" She looked at Gohan and
Goten. "And how can half-breeds be
so powerful?"
"We're half-human." Gohan replied, "I don't
know. We're just strong like
that."
"Have you ever suffered any health problems?"
"No."
Tomata's eyes brightened.
"Incredible." She looked down at Trunks. "Ummm... Prince Trunks, what about
you?"
"I'm strong. Stronger
than Goten." Trunks said as he grinned at the girl.
"I don't believe it!" Tomata happilly yelled out as she
twirled around. "The prophesy came
true! The Firsts exists!!!"
"Huh?" Krillian asked as he looked at Tomata, "What
do you mean by 'The Firsts'?"
Tomata smiled. "You
see... it all began a long time ago when the Tuffles came to another planet and
found a group of strange aliens that had mutated from the Firsts. The Tuffles took the strange creatures back
to their home planet to turn into slaves..."
Tomata explained to the group about how the Tuffles altered their
slaves DNA to Saiyans. She told them
about how her famliy had protested against purging of planets for fear of
getting to the Firsts planet and destroying it. Finally, she told them about the prophecy. "And so, it's believed that when the
Saiyans and the Firsts reunite. It will
be a start of a new race. The Firsts
will gain power while the Saiyans gain purpose other than fighting. You three, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, are
proof of the prophecy coming true."
"So, the reason Humans and Saiyans can crossbreed so easilly
is because, Saiyans are Humans?!" Gohan figured out.
"Yeah. Before, when
Saiyans crossbreed with other aliens, they get weaker and they don't last past
a few years." Tomata explained, "But you guys are different. Super Saiyans at such a young age are
incredible."
"Wow. Saiyans and
Humans are related." Yamcha muttered as he glanced at Vegita who was
scowling.
"There's no way that mere Humans can spawn off Saiyans."
Vegita said proudly, "And Saiyans were not designed for slaves."
"I don't know." Gohan said as he leaned back, "I
mean, Mom and Videl act kinda like Saiyans only without the appetites."
"Wait." Bulma said as she got up. She went to Trunks and asked, "Trunks,
am I and Vegita... close?"
"Yeah!" Trunks replied.
"So, Bulma and Vegita are mates and so are me and Chi
Chi?" Goku asked.
The group nodded.
Goku and Bulma sighed as Goku sat down. "Can you tell me how did that happen?" Bulma demanded.
*****
Tomata sat apart from the group as they told tales about Goku and
Bulma's past. Vegita tried to sit close
to his mate but Bulma kept on inching away.
"And so, you were trapped in Ginyu's body and Ginyu was in
your body. I'm telling you, I was
scared stiff. Ginyu was huge and purple
and have horns on his head.
Fortunately, he tried to switch again with Vegita but you got in the way
and got your body back. Heh heh, Ginyu
accidentally switched brains with a Namekian Frog." Gohan concluded.
"Whoa." Goku muttered wide-eyed.
"You never told me that, Gohan." Chi Chi accused as she
got out another frying pan.
"Uhhh... you never asked." Gohan said as he scratched
his head.
"Chi Chi?" Goku asked, "Where do you keep all those
frying pans?"
"It's a secret technique." Chi Chi said as she glared at
Gohan some more. "Any other
secrets about Namek, Gohan?"
"Ummm... there's Freeza." Gohan said as he sweatdropped.
"FREEZA?! YOU MET
FREEZA?!" Tomata exclaimed startling everyone, "The ruler of the
Saiyan Empire? The being that no Saiyan
had hopped to kill except for the Super Saiyan?!"
"He's dead." Gohan said, "A warrior killed him off
on Earth. But Dad gave him a good
beating."
"I thought Freeza is still alive." Goku said confused.
"He's dead, Kakarot.
He had been for many years by Saiyan hands." Vegita said with pride
in his voice.
"That's amazing. I
never knew." Tomata muttered, "What's the Saiyans doing for fun now,
my lord?"
"What Saiyans?" Goten asked.
Vegita scowled and looked down.
"There's only three pure blooded Saiyans left." He said
finally. Today had been real hard on
his pride. Not only is Kakarot in love
with his mate, and the fact that Saiyans are truely desended from humans but
now he has to admit the need for Exiled to be accepted. "Freeza destroyed our homeworld. Only, you, Kakarot, and myself are the only
Saiyans alive."
"So, there's no need for me to bear this tatoo anymore."
Tomata said as she wiped her forehead.
"Your word isn't law anymore.
No more Planet Vegita." She sat down and hung her head. "I never thought. That monster."
Goku sat beside her and put his arm around her shoulder. "It's okay. You didn't know."
"I had been preparing the people of this world for twenty
years for the possiblity of aliens coming here and destroying us." Tomata
muttered, "I'm the last female Saiyan in the universe. In order for the Saiyans to continue as pure
bred..."
"You don't have to go to either Goku or Vegita." Yamcha
said as he turned red. "You said
it yourself that Saiyans and Humans are almost the same race."
“I guess. I’m taking a
nap. May I sleep in your spaceship?”
“Of course!” Roshi said as he ran up to her. “You can use my bed. Oh, and there’s an outfit in one of my
suitcases that could fit you.”
“Thank you, sir.” Tomata said as she get into the ship with Roshi
leading her.
“I hope he’s not going to do anything to her.” Yamcha said as he
sweatdropped.
“What do you mean?” Bulma asked, “He seems like a nice old man to
me.”
The group facefaulted and Vegita went up to her. “Master Roshi is a pervert. He is a dirty old man.”
“What’s a pervert and how’s he dirty?” Goku asked as everyone fell
over again.
“We’ll explain later, Goku.” Yamcha said as he smiled.
Bulma looked down at Trunks who was still staring at her. "So, Trunks, do I have any other
relatives?"
"Yeah, my grandma and grandpa." Trunks said as he
grinned.
“I’m glad that I’m a mother of a handsome young man like
yourself. Next to Orang of- never
mind.”
“Maybe, when we go back to Earth, you two will remember.” Yamcha
said as he sweatdropped.
“Go to Earth?” Goku repeated, “I can’t. The monsters are still here.”
“I can fight them off by myself, Orang.” Tomata offered.
“No way. You’ll die.”
Bulma said, “I can’t leave until the Fruans are safe.”
“Then, we’ll stay till we destroy them.” Vegita said as he
clenched his fists.
“Me too.” Chi Chi vowed as she held up an automatic gun.
*****
Tomata got out of the nice fluffy bed in the spaceship. She hated nice soft fluffy beds, it feels
alien to her. It occurred to her. She was the last of her kind, she is one of
an endangered species, physically. She
is an exiled Saiyan with no name and no tail.
Nobody really cared about that, not even Or-Go-Kaka- Orang and Vegita.
"You didn't sleep well." Master Roshi observed as he sat
on a chair with a box in his arms.
"I can't stand soft beds.
I prefer sleeping on the floor sometimes, sir. What's your name?"
"Oh! It's Kamesamin
Roshi, but you can call me, Master Roshi.
I was Goku's fir- second sensei."
"Who's the first?"
"His grandfather, Son Gohan."
Tomata had a confused look on her face. "But isn't that cute man that looked like Or- Goku,
Gohan?"
"He's named after Goku's grandfather. Long story." Master Roshi said as he
handed Tomata a box. "Here, I
thought you need some new clothes."
Tomata smiled at the old man.
"Thank you." She
walked into the next room as Roshi turned red at the thought of a beautiful
alien woman dressing in the next room.
He would've taken advantage and peek but angering a female Saiyan
warrior would be inviting disaster.
*****
"What are these Tormans attack pattern?" Vegita asked as he glanced at Bulma.
"They come in different times." Bulma replied,
"They would attack to feed off of the villagers. If a few get killed, the rest would fly away."
"What kind of spaceship did they use?" Krillian asked.
"We don't know." Goku answered, "The Tormans would
come out of nowhere and just attack.
Tomata and I tried to find the ship but we kept on getting
attacked. Apparently, Saiyans taste
good to them."
"Hey!" Gohan said as he stood up, "We can use the
ship to locate where the Tormans' ship is."
"Can this ship do that?" Bulma asked in wonder.
"I think so. We'll
just fly over the planet and do a scan.” Gohan said as he looked at the
ship.
“Oh, that’s my Gohan. All those studies did stick.” Chi Chi said
as she sighed.
“Okay, Dr. Briefs, Bulma’s dad, can help out.”
“Help out with what?” Tomata’s voice rose as she came out of the
ship.
Yamcha gulped as he looked up.
**I hope Master Roshi didn’t do anything too sick.**
Tomata was dressed in a sleek black outfit. She wore long black boots that matched a
body suit. Her outfit had long gray
pantyhose and her chest is covered with black cloth. Her back was exposed if it weren’t for a nice leather
jacket. “This is an excellent fighting
suit.”
There was an obvious sigh in relief from the group. Master Roshi came out after her and said, “I
might be a pervert but I make it a rule never to make an alien warrior woman
mad.”
Yamcha’s eyebrow rose. He
recognized the outfit as the old can can bunny outfit that Roshi always carried
with him just in case. It was obviously
modified while the young Saiyan was asleep.
“It looks good on you.”
“I know.” Tomata said as she flexed her muscles. “It’s tight and yet mobile.” She did a kick.
“Tomata,” Bulma said, “Gohan said that he can use the ship and
look for the Torman’s ship.”
“Good. I want everyone of
those monsters destroyed. I can’t stand
another day with the Tormans here.”
“I can get the ship up there and scan the planet for any other
machines.”
“Tomata and I can search on the ground.” Goku offered, “We know
this planet well.”
“We can help out too.” Trunks offered, “Please. I want to fight more of those monsters.”
“Me too!” Goten spoke up.
“No way!” Chi Chi screamed as she grabbed Goten’s arm. “You’re not going off to fight monsters
without your brother.”
“But Mommy! Trunks will be
with me!”
“You’re not going either!” Bulma scowled. “I know you’re pretty strong, buy I don’t
want to risk a little boy like you getting hurt or worst. Please, stay at the castle with me and Or-
Goku.”
In another time, Trunks would’ve argued that he was a Super Saiyan
and had handled supervillians before or he would’ve snuck off with Goten. But now, he started to sniff. Bulma knelt down and asked, “Are you okay?”
“You acted like you remembered me.” Trunks sobbed as he hugged
her.
Bulma sighed as she hugged back.
The boy was adorable and strong.
Yet, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember him.
*****
King Rasin sighed as he looked at the accounted death toll. Despite his warriors best efforts, many
people died.
“King Rasin!” Banan exclaimed as he ran in. “Orang, Tomata, and Bluberri are back! And there’s more Saiyans with them!”
“Send them in.” Rasin ordered as shoved the reports away.
*****
“And so, Gohan will look for the Torman’s base and destroy it.”
Goku said after a long story.
Rasin nodded. “Good. And these magic beans helped Tomata and
Orang or should I say Goku heal completely?”
“Yes, your highness.” Tomata replied, “But they only have a few
beans that they are saving for the upcoming battle. The reason, we’re telling you this is that we may need some
warriors to fight off the Tormans if they escape and went on a rampage.”
“I’ll try to send out as many as I can.” Banan replied, “But, many
of them are wounded.”
“We understand.” Vegita said, “I understand that the Tormans
attack at night mostly.”
“Yes. They despise
daylight. Once in a while, they attack
in the daytime just to keep us off guard.”
“Then, we’ll attack in the morning.” Goku said, “The Tormans
should be in their base then.”
*****
Bluberri cleaned the rags as she stared at the setting sun. The children ran inside of the castle. Every night, there was a silence except for
the moans and the groans. The Tormans
attack in the day and night but the night felt scarier.
She glanced up and saw Vegita standing there. He was wearing a black tank top with
matching pants. “What are you doing
here?” she asked.
“I was just wondering the same thing, woman.” Vegita said as he
sat down next to her. “I was going off
to parole for any monsters.”
“Shouldn’t you rest?”
“A warrior never rests. I
was just here to see if remembered anything yet.”
“No.” Bulma replied as she gathered the bundle in her arms. “Please leave.”
Vegita crossed his arms.
“I will leave but only because I must.”
He gently touched her cheek.
“Bulma, I did miss you for the last few months.”
He walked away. Bulma
shivered at the touch. No matter how
hard she try, she couldn’t remember his face.
He was cute but he did try to hurt her Orang. “Why me?”
“I don’t know.” Yamcha answered as he came up. “Sorry, I overheard your conversation.”
Bulma smiled at the young man. “It’s okay. I can’t remember anything.” she held her
head. “I know you know me but... I’m
confused.”
“That’s okay. I guess,
Vegita does love you.”
“Huh? What do you
mean? Isn’t Vegita and I married?”
Yamcha glanced down. He
wanted so much to tell her that Vegita really hated her but that would be bold
faced lying. “No. I don’t know really. It’s really complicated. You did love Vegita. That much I know."Bulma let out a
strange sound. Yamcha looked up to see
tears in Bulma’s eyes. He had never
seen Bulma looked so... distressed. “I
can’t stand it. I don’t like
Vegita. How could I have a son with
him?!"
“I don’t know.” Yamcha said as he got up. “Are you okay?”
“I just need to be alone for a while.” Bulma said as she gestured
to the rags. “I need to get these
done.”

Krillian and Goku were patrolling the area. “I’m glad you guys are here to help. It was getting pretty bad.” Goku confided as
he looked around.
“I know.” Krillian said, “You looked real bad before I got ya the
senzu bean."
"I wish that senzu gave me back my memory. I really want to remember you."
"You will. I
hope. I can’t wait till you do that
Spirit Bomb and blow those monsters off to the Next Dimention."
"A what?” Goku asked with a genuine confused look in his
face.
“A Spirit Bomb.” Krillian repeated, “Oh... you don’t know how to
do one right?”
“I think so. What does a
Spirit Bomb do?”
Krillian got on a rock.
“Spirit Bombs are a very powerful Ki attack. You see, you gather energy from a planet and turn it into a
powerful Ki blast. You flung it at the
enemy using their evil Ki to guide you.
It’s real awesome and only you can do it."
"I wanna try it!” Goku said excitedly. “That sounds so awesome!”
Krillian grinned at the way Goku reacted. “That’s the Goku I
know! Ummm... first you gather up
energy...”
Goku reached out and then
lower his hands. “Uhhhh... how do I do
that?”
Krillian sweatdropped and thought, **Uh oh. I didn’t think of that.** “King Kai! King Kai can guide you!"
"Who’s King Kai?”
**I am King Kai.** A voice reached out in his mind. Goku fell over in shock.
“Wow! There’s a voice in
my head! Where are you, King Kai?” Goku
asked as he looked around anxiously.
“He’s in the Next Dimention.
Long story. Hey, King Kai, can
you tell Goku how to do the Spirit Bomb?” Krillian asked as he watched Goku
gawking around.
**Of course. Goku did it
before, he just need a refresher course and after that, we’ll work on your
amnesia. We can’t forget about that
right? *snicker* Get it.
Amnesia? Forget? *BWAHAHAHA*!!!**
Goku glanced at Krillian.
“I don’t get it."
"Just ignore it.” Krillian muttered.
*****
“Come on!” Gohan said frustrated.
Tomata was standing there for the past hour trying to power up. “Focus your rage! Transform!"
"I’M TRYING!!!” Tomata screamed as she let out a massive wave
of Ki.
“It’s not hard.” Goten said as he went Super Saiyan.
Tomata went down on her knees breathing hard. Sweat came down her chin as she wiped it
away. “I don’t get it.” Gohan said as
he sat down, “You’re power level is higher than Dad’s when he first went Super
Saiyan... how old are you?”
“I’m not sure. I guess
about a few years older than Prince Vegita.
"Huh?!” Gohan exclaimed. “Wait a second, you’re older than Vegita?!” He stared at the young woman. She did look as old as his father but that
was it. If she tried hard enough, she
could pass as his sister.
“Of course."
"You don’t look that way.”
Tomata smirked. “Oh, when
Saiyans age, they look older until they reach their prime. After that, our appearance stopped aging.
"What do old Saiyans look like?” Gohan asked.
Tomata looked down and pondered.
“Old Saiyans? Ha! Saiyans either die destroying planets, training,
or dying by getting killed by other Saiyans!”
“Of course.” Gohan said as he went Super Saiyan, “Now, lets try it
again. The hardest part is the first
time. Got it?”
“Right.” Tomata said as she gritted her teeth.
“Get mad. Think about all
the innocent people the Tormans ate!” Gohan yelled at her. He had to get her blinding mad. She wanted to become a Super Saiyan so much.
Tomata grimmanced as she tried to unlock the power within. Every ounce of power build up as she
screamed, “AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” Gohan
stepped back as Tomata fell over in exhaustion.
“Oh man.”
*****
**Now, gather the energy.** King Kai said as Goku was in a odd
position. He had both hands rose in the
air.
“How long must I stay like this?” Goku asked.
**Just long enough to make a small spirit bomb.**
Goku reached out with his mind and soul. Slowly, he could feel the entire planet. It was alive despite all the hardships it
went through. The magma at the core to
the very wind in his hair. The power of
the planet was there at his disposal.
“The trees... the wind... and all things in nature.” He spoke without
thinking. The words felt right. “Give me a little bit of your energy...
please!”
Slowly but surely, the power began to gather in his hands. He reached out to the planet to gather just
enough to see if he could do it. The
power was there. Then, something in him
clicked. He lowered his hands and held
up his glowing first.
“Whoa.” Goku muttered staring at it.
“Hey, let’s test this out.” Krillian said as he got out a boulder
over ten times bigger than himself and tossed it in the air.
Goku stared at it and flung it at the boulder. The giant rock disintergrated into dust.
“That’s a small one?!” Goku asked in disbelief.
“Yeah. The more power you
gathered, the bigger the bomb.” Krillian explained.
“Hey! Maybe if I can go
Super Saiyan, the bomb will take less time to-”
“**No!!!**” Krillian and King Kai exclaimed at the same time.
King Kai explained, **You need a pure heart to make the bomb
without getting hurt. As a Super
Saiyan, your heart is filled with rage and you can’t make the Spirit Bomb.**
“Oh.” Goku grinned excitedly.
“I love it when I found out something I can do before! That will be a great help! Is there anything else I can do?”
“Can you teleport?” Krillian asked.
“I can teleport?” Goku asked wide-eyed.
“Okay, I guess that means no.
I don’t know how you teleport neither does King Kai.” Krillian said
before Goku can ask.
“Damn it.”
“Hey, maybe it will come to you.” Krillian suggested trying to
cheer him up.
“Maybe.” Goku said as he stared up at the stars. “Hey, Krillian, this will sound weird but
where is Earth up there?”
“Earth?” Krillian stared up at the stars. “Uhhh... I don’t really know. Space travel isn’t one of my of my better
specialities. We’ll find it once we
leave.”
“That’s good.” Goku said as he stared up again.
*****
Tomata wolfed down her food with hunger and rage. Goten and Trunks stared at her as she gulped
down a gallon of milk.
“Don’t take it too badly.” Gohan said comfortably, “You just need
to work on it.
Tomata took a deep breath and said, “You don’t understand. I’ve been trying to go Super Saiyan for
months. I thought that perhaps, I could
achieve it too. I wanted to destroy
those Termons completely. I just
thought that Goku is the only Super Saiyan.”
“Maybe only boy Saiyans can go Super Saiyan!” Trunks piped up.
“Perhaps.” Tomata said as she started to eat again.
*****
The sun slowly rose as the Z warriors gathered at the
spaceship. “This is it.” Goku said as
he cracked his knuckles. “Ready,
Tomata?”
Tomata nodded.
“I’m coming too!” Bulma proclaimed carrying a set of guns.
“You can’t, woman!” Vegita growled as he snatched the guns
away. “You’ll die!"
"I can’t stand by.” Bulma said as she took the guns back, “I
saw too many people die by those monsters.
I’m sorry, but I’m coming."
"No, stay at the spaceship.” Goku comforted as Chi Chi glared
at him. “Please.”
Bulma slowly set her guns down.
“Just come back to me, Orang."
"I will, Bluberri.” Goku gently stroke her cheek as he smiled
softly.
Chi Chi and Vegita growled in unison. The woman ignored Goku and went to Goten and Gohan. “Boys, take good care of yourselves.” Chi
Chi said, “Please, take care."
"Let’s go.” Piccolo said as he flew up. The other warriors, except for Chi Chi,
Master Roshi, Bulma, and Puar flew out toward the Tomar’s base.
*****
It was bright as the warriors landed in a small field. It was scared and bare with little
grass. "Here it is." Gohan
said as he landed, "This is the place."
"But, that's impossible, we passed by here several times and
there was no sign of Termons!" Goku said as he looked around.
"They must be hiding." Vegita flew around and lightly
destroyed the ground with a few ki blasts.
"Come out come out whereever you are..." He said as he punched
the ground causing waves of dirt to fly up into the air.
There was a growl as a giant tower slowly rose out of the
ground. "Whoa." Goku muttered
as he watched the tower grow up into the sky.
A darkness surrounded the tower like a shadow.
"This is it." Tomata said as she powered up.
"Yeah." The other Saiyans lit up into Super Saiyan. Gohan tranformed into his Mystic form.
"Let's go." Yamcha and Krillian powered up.
The group dove and the flock of monsters flew up. The battle was intense as the fighters split
up. Yamcha and Tomata flew down and
started to fire at the monsters back-to-back. Krillian was somewhat far away lashing out Distructo Disks into
the air. Vegita was higher up
destroying the tower and aiming at the monsters that are nearby. Goku was along with him firing at the
Tormans. Piccolo and Gohan flew around
protecting the weaker fighters.
It was chaotic as the fighters flew around destroying the
Tormans. Goten and Trunks flew to a
distance and Goten said, "Let's fuse!"
"Yeah!"
The two stood side-by-side and did the fusion dance. "FFFUUUUSSSIIIIOOOONNNN!!!"
At that second, the other fighters felt a strong power. It was so strong that it peirce the ki
dampering effect of the Tormans.
"What's that?" Goku asked with wide eyes.
A young boy flew up and with one blast destroyed twenty
Termons. He was short with an odd vests
and matching pants. His hair was black
with purple highlights. "I am the
supremely powerful, the most awesome fighter in the universe, Gotenks!"
Gotenks proclaimed in a dualistic voice while doing a Super Saiyanman pose.
"Gotenks?" Tomata repeated. "That boy is a Saiyan
too?"
"Oh great. Goten and
Trunks fuse to become a powerful fighter." Piccolo explained to the two,
"Unfortunately, this guy is unstable."
"Am not!" Gotenks said as he powered up to Super
Saiyan. The Tormans took flight and
began to circle around in a huge cyclone.
From the cyclone a giant monster appeared. "All right!" The warrior said as he started to attack. "DESTRUCTIVE COCONUT!!!" He
screamed as he fired a giant ki ball.
"Destructive coconut?" Goku repeated as the fighters
watched the fused warrior.
"BOMB BON-BON!!!
Gotenks yelled out as he fired another ki ball. "LASH
LOLLYPOP!!!"
The Torman monster held himself against the attacks. Vegita and Piccolo flew up and around the
Torman and started to fire massive ki blasts.
"BIG BANG!!!" Vegita screamed as he flew in front and
held out his palm.
"SPECIAL CANNON GUN!!!" Piccolo added from behind.
"I gotta get in this." Tomata said as she charged up her
own attack, "METEOR CRASH!!!" She fired a giant ki ball at the
monster's head.
The Torman monster laughed as it fired blasts out of his mouth and
at the Saiyan woman.
"Tomata!" Goku yelled out as he flew to her but it was too
late. She fell to the ground barely
breathing.
"I'll get her!" Yamcha said as he flew down and got out
his Senzu. Her ki had faded to the
point of near death. Her uniform was
torn in many places and there were burns everywhere. "Here." He put it in her mouth and shoved it down her
throat. Tomata's wounds healed again.
"Thanks." Tomata said as she got up and flew up again to
attack.
Yamcha shook his head as he joined the battle. **What is it about Saiyans and their
tendancy to want to get killed?**
Goku, Krillian, Gohan, and Yamcha flew up and joined the fighting
warriors. "Let's fire
together!" Goku commanded as he cupped his hands to the side.
Krillian, Gohan, and Yamcha smiled at Goku's familiar command
stance. He might not remember fighting
with them but he definately can command in the face of danger. "KAAAMMEEEHAAAAMMEEE HA!!!" The
four chanted as one as they lash out a massive ki blast right at the
monster. Gotenks and Vegita dodged the
blast as well as Piccolo who grabbed Tomata by the shirt and dragged her away.
The blast struck the monster and it screamed. In a bright flash, the monster fell
over.
"All right!" Goku said as he grinned. "That's that."
**Goku!** King Kai's voice reached the fighters, **It's not over
yet. That Torman monster is like
Cell.**
"Who's Cell?" Goku asked as Gohan fell over.
"He's a monster who killed you." Gohan explained.
"Who just talked in my head?" Tomata asked looking
around.
"King Kai. Long
story." Piccolo said as he looked at the Torman. It was starting to regenerate.
"Quick, make a Spirit Bomb?"
"I'll try." Goku said as he dropped out of Super Saiyan
mode and rose his hands. "The
Wind... the trees... and all things in nature, I ask for you of your fighting
spirit, I'm asking you, PLEASE!!!" He chanted as the power of the spirit
flow in his body. He reached out all
over the planet like before. It was
weak with energy. He needed more. **Maybe, I can expand it more.** Goku
thought as he reached out across the planets.
Meanwhile, the Torman monster got up and laughed. "CAN'T DESTROY ME!!!" It taunted.
"Shut the fuck up." Tomata growled as she started to
attack again. "THIS ENDS NOW,
MONSTER!!!"
Vegita nodded and thought, **Saiyan women. Typical.
They are just like Humans. What
am I doing? There's a monster to kill.**
He turned Super Saiyan II and began blasting again.
"Tomata!" Yamcha screamed as he watched her attack. There was rage in her eyes. He knew that Goku needs time to focus his
power and build up the bomb enough to destroy it. He powered up again and attacked along with her.
Piccolo flew up to Gotenks who started to attack as well. "Gotenks, Goku's getting ready to make
a Spirit Bomb, get ready to run."
"I can destroy it." The fused Demi-Saiyan argued as he
charged up another attack. "GALACTIC
DONUT!!!"
Tomata and Yamcha orbited over Torman's head. They blasted at it feircely. "Die you monster!!!" Tomata
screamed as tears threatened to overcome her.
"Those two are stubborn as hell." Yamcha muttered as he
glanced at Tomata and Gotenks attacking again.
Goku's eyes opened wide.
"I got it! Tomata! Gotenks!
Vegita! Out of the way!"
Vegita complied instantly.
He knew the pain of having a Spirit Bomb blasted at him at full
power. He would rather not go through
it again. Gotenks followed. The Goten in him knew when to obey his
father. Tomata, however, stayed.
"Tomata." Yamcha warned, "Come here!"
"I want to kill him myself!" Tomata screamed.
"You'll get blown to pieces!" Yamcha said as he grabbed
Tomata by the arm. "Please, let
Orang do it." **Maybe, if I call
Goku by that name, she could listen to me.**
Tomata glanced at him and flew back down to the ground. "Destroy it." she whispered as she
looked down.
Goku nodded and held the Spirit Bomb in his hands. It pulsed with its own power and light. He felt its evil ki and flung it at the
monster. A great explosion erupted
around it and and flash of light scattered all over the face of the planet.
"Wow." Goku thought as he fell down to the ground. Gotenks caught him and landed. "What a drain."
"Is it dead?" Tomata asked as she stared at the
crater.
"It's gone." Piccolo said as he nodded. "Good thing."
"Yeah, I... used up my Senzus." Gohan said as he
scratched his head in an embarrased way.
"On what?" Piccolo asked as he bared his fangs.
"A couple of fighters at the castle. They were bady injured and I thought... that
why not." Gohan said as he laughed.
"Honestly, you are as short attention minded as your father
sometimes." Piccolo grumbled.
"Ummm... I used my last Senzu on this kid that I saw..."
Krillian said as he turned red.
"What?! Who here had
given their Senzus to the victims?" Vegita demanded.
At once, Gotenks, Goku, Krillian, and Tomata rose their
hands. Yamcha said, "I gave my
last one to a dying person. I got the
one I gave to Tomata from Master Roshi."
"What about you, Piccolo?" Gohan asked as he looked at
his sensei. "I thought I saw you with the victims."
Piccolo grumbled and said, "I didn't need two. I gave one away and he was dying."
"I kept my Senzus because I felt that we need them."
Vegita explained.
"But, Dad, didn't you gave that Dr. Prun one of the
regeneration tanks?" Gotenks asked.
"I told you not to say anything." Vegita said as he
turned red. **I'm getting soft. Damn it, why can't I just ignore those
pleas.**
"Oh, by the way, with my superb intelect, I know how to get
your memory back." Gotenks said as he walked up to Goten's father.
"What is it?" Goku asked as he looked down.
"This." Gotenks raised himself into the air and smashed
Goku's head with his fists. Darkness
surrounded Goku as his last remaining thoughts were, **It didn't work.**
To Be Continued...
