Chapter 3:

Raditz soared through the air towards his new destination. The place he was headed was not too far from where Jason was. In fact, it was only a few dozen miles away. Now he was only seconds away. He checked his scouter for confirmation before making his approach, and it gave him the "A OK". Raditz landed about ten feet away from a peculiar man. He had green skin, antenna, and pointed ears; not to mention a bad attitude. On his head he wore a white turban and he was garbed in a purple Gi, accompanying a large, white cape. The green man immediately spoke up in a deep and demanding tone,

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Raditz replied,

"That is none of your concern green man."

The other man gritted his teeth as he spoke,

"It's Piccolo to you! Now, what are you doing here?"

Raditz said,

"I'm looking for someone called Kakarot… do you know him?"

Piccolo told Raditz,

"Never heard of him in my life! Now get lost!"

Raditz chuckled a bit while he clicked his scouter. New little numbers appeared on its screen as Raditz read,

"Power level of 390? How pathetic! Then again… this planet's inhabitants do seem to be far more powerful than reported. I'm starting to wonder if Kakarot's even alive."

Piccolo interrupted him,

"Quit talking to yourself and get out of here, before you get me mad!"

Raditz simply smiled for a few seconds before phasing out of Piccolo's vision. A split second later Piccolo was slammed in the back by Raditz's elbow, making him fall flat on his face, unable to move for the moment. Raditz's scouter lit up once more as he read,

"Another high power level, a few thousand units in that direction… I will find you Kakarot!"

Raditz immediately flew off into the new direction.

Meanwhile Goku and Gohan, mounted on The Flying Nimbus, arrived at a small sandy island with a little shack-like house marking its center. Goku lept off Nimbus with Gohan in his arms, landing softly on the white sand below. The door of the house swung open in response, and out came some of Goku's good friends. There was a short, bald monk named Krillin (Goku's very best friend); there was an old, bearded man that wore a turtle shell on his back named Muten Roshi (Goku's old master); there was a beautiful blue-haired young woman named Bulma, and finally there was a pig-man named Oolong. Krillin spoke first in a cheerful and greeting tone,

"Hey Goku! Long time no see, hu?"

Bulma, noticing Gohan, said,

"Hey Goku, who's that kid? Are you babysitting or something?"

Goku seemed a little confused for a moment before smiling and saying,

"Oh, this is Gohan! He's my son," Goku put the little boy on the floor while he placed a hat on the child's head, continuing, "Say 'hi' Gohan."

Everyone at once questioned,

"Your son!?"

Gohan said as he bowed in a shy manner,

"H-hello."

Bulma asked Gohan as she walked up to him,

"So how old are you little guy?"

Gohan seemed to think for awhile, counting on his fingers. He held up four and spoke,

"I-I'm four Mis."

Bulma then questioned,

"So, what's your Element little guy?"

Gohan answered,

"Fire, Mis."

Bulma smiled as she told him,

"Fire, huh? Just like me! So I guess Goku's whole 'I don't have an Element' thing isn't genetic."

Goku spoke,

"Nope, but guess what is. This little guy's got a tail!"

As if on cue, Gohan's little brown tail came into view from behind him. Everyone's response to this was,

"A tail!?"

Bulma and Roshi ran up to Goku and started whispering things to Goku about if Gohan had ever seen a full moon, or if there was anything weird about him. Goku simply replied,

"I don't know what you guys are on about. We go to bed pretty early anyways."

Bulma and Roshi both sighed in relief. Krillin spoke up,

"So, when's the little guy gonna start trainin'?"

Goku said,

"Well ChiChi doesn't really want him to. She wants Gohan to become a scholar or something like that, so he's always studying… Not enough time to train really. But I'm proud of him, he's a smart little boy!"

After a few minutes of greetings and catch-ups, everyone was just having a really good time… Until Goku noticed something,

"Woh! What is that power!?" He looked to the bright, blue sky, "It's coming from over there!"

Krillin said,

"Are you sure, Goku? I don't see anything."

The others agreed. Goku remained locked on to the sky and seemed to wait for something to come over the expansive horizon. In time, something did… Raditz soared towards the island and landed hard onto the beach, throwing up a cloud of sand. Everyone was stunned and lacked words, except for Raditz, who simply looked at Goku and said,

"Hello, Kakarot."

Q: Will there be any romance? And if so, will the be canon? Not that I don't like non-canon pairings, I am just curious.

A: Simply put, all pairings between canon characters will remain canon. Anything else… well I really haven't thought of it much.

Q: Gohan's got an Element right? Considering he is both human and not at the same time.

A: Your question was conveniently answered by this chapter my friend! Gohan's Element is Fire, but something special about him will be revealed later on.

Q: Will among the new Z Fighters be like Nam or Roshi?

A: As far as someone like Nam is concerned, I'm not too sure, but you can be sure that most of the main human characters that became useless after Dragon Ball will most likely become Z fighters.

Q: Is Jason a villain then? One of the OC villains?

A: Yes and no. That is all I'm allowed to say.

Q: Any plans to include a few Sagas based on movie villains?

A: Actually, I haven't thought of that, and now that you mention it I might! It'll be tough though, trying to fit the movie villians in to go along with all of the major villains.

This was a bit of a filler chapter, but it was necessary to set up for the next one. Alright! Next chapter will start off all of the action you've been waiting for!
