How do adventures begin? Through curiosity of course. The need to explore the world around us and discover the unknown. We ask what, why, how…who.

Who may be the most stimulating. A who is like me. A who is like you. Who breathes and who sleeps. Who loves and who eats. Who even has a name. Are you curious about who? Well, Diana is too, so she asked…

"Who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Goku." His body ached, forcing him to drop his smile. As he sat up on the mattress, he saw stone walls surrounding him.

He was in an unfamiliar place and so he asked, "Where am I?"

Diana stood several feet from the bed, overthinking her answer.

Why did I bring him here? Of course, he was going to ask questions? No man was ever to set foot on the island. I should've taken him to mother. What if he's an enemy?

Where they were in this exact moment was answerable, but Diana knew one question leads to another. But she's never seen a man from the outside world and was anxious to know what they were like.

"A living space I use when my mother and I get into arguments. Good thing we're on good terms for the moment, because you're going to be staying here for a while."

Goku was puzzled, "Why would you say that?"

"Your wounds."

"I'll be fine." Goku tried getting out of the bed. The moment he rolled over, "Ow ow ow ouch!"

He moved back into the most comfortable position of lying straight back, "You may be right. I really took a beating. Hehehe."

"What happened to you?"

"I was on Planet Namek battling Majin Buu. We were starting to wear him down and he knew it. Next thing ya know, he starts blowing smoke out his head and the environment around us started changing. I guess his powers are far beyond what I thought. Even he doesn't seem to understand them. As his anger increased, so did his power. The dimension started falling apart and I got sucked into a black hole."

Diana saw the look of concern on his face, "Your allies…You're worried about them. Well, I won't keep you too long. You just need to get better is all."

Listening to his story, her excitement grew. When she found the unconscious man on Themyscira she got something she desperately wanted all her life, opportunity. This was her chance to learn more.

Having won the title of Wonder Woman in the battle of Amazons, her overprotective mother, the Queen, kept her banned from the outside world. That was until Diana had enough, and threatened to leave and never return, committed to start the adventure she had earned. Begrudgingly, Queen Hippolyta gave in to her daughter's desires. If her daughter were to leave, she wanted it to at least be by her blessing even if she didn't like it.

"A fascinating story Goku. I'm Princess Diana and I too am a warrior. This is planet Earth."

"I know, I'm from here. Wellll not quite, but I consider the earth my home...I'm a Saiyan…from Earth. That's how I'd describe it."

"A Sai-yan? You mean you're not human?"

"Nope," said Goku, scratching his head. "It surprised me as well. I didn't find out until I was a man and my brother paid me a visit. It's a shame he was so rotten and had to be destroyed. It's been some time since I've been home though. After the battle with my brother, the Supreme Kai recruited me to start training and help defeat Majin Buu. But he's tough. Man, he's tough."

"And here I have you trapped in this room. How'd you know this was planet Earth," said Diana with a smirk.

He looked at her with a casual curiosity searching for assurance, "You're human, aren't you?"

"I'm of this world…"

They were both becoming more fascinated by each other, and neither were the type to hold their tongue. Diana, out of a culture where she was raised to be straightforward and honest. Goku, out of a naivety.

Goku's adventure extended far beyond earth, and his story led Diana to believe he didn't have as much experience on this planet as earthlings. However, alien or not, when she eyed his body it was no question that he was all man.

"I've met Gods, but never a human male, or one from outside this world."

The shock she was expecting never came. Instead was a laugh, "Hehehe, wow never met a man, at your age. You've got me beat. It took some time, but I'd met women by the time I was a teen."

Things were getting stranger, "A teen? But didn't you grow up on this planet amongst men and women?"

"My early childhood was spent with my Grandpa. What about you, don't you know anybody?

"Of course! I said I never met a man. Speaking of which, I'm going to return to my people. You should rest."

Diana quickly left as she felt she was giving up more information than the man she'd just met. An interesting perspective, considering it wasn't debatable that what little she knew about him, far succeeded what he knew about her. However, his open book demeanor made their conversation so one sided in terms of secrets given. He shouldn't even be on the island and therefore every word Diana spoke to him was a sin. Diana had found herself trying to compete with his story with brief mentions of being a princess, meeting Gods, but nothing shocked him.

Just how much of the universe has he seen, thought Diana who flew home.


Thaysei limped across the battlefield looking for any trace of the Saiyan. The Namekian who was given the role of Supreme Kai knew his biggest mission was ridding the universe of Majin Buu. Exhausting himself for years over how to defeat this monster, eventually led to him searching for the warrior with the most potential. Goku was that warrior. The one who could defeat Majin Buu, or so he thought.

Majin Buu attacked earlier than expected, and it just so happened that the planet he attacked was Thaysei's birth planet, Namek. Out of all the planets, he couldn't let this one be destroyed. Not his home.

Himself, Goku, and the warrior Namekians went into battle. This was an emotional battle for Thaysei more than any he had fought before. If he couldn't protect his own planet he didn't see himself as being worthy of being the Supreme Kai.

In truth, he believed they weren't ready for Majin Buu, but the Saiyan had progressed far beyond where it was believed he should be now.

And as Goku continued to unleash his potential, they started winning. However, Majin Buu's potential seems to go on forever, as well. In the midst of Majin Buu crowding himself with smoke, Thaysei could see his shape change. The silhouette of the once fat and round creature became more muscular, and the last thing the Supreme Kai saw was his glowing red eyes that shined through the smoke, before disappearing into one of the dimensional tears he created.

"I'm sure he's alive."

The Supreme Kai turned to see another surviving Namekian, "Nail! It's good to see you in once piece."

"Yea, looks like we did it."

Thaysei lightly shook his head, "No…right before he disappeared he…he changed. He became more evil."

"You mean he's even stronger?" Nail clenched his fist before relaxing, "Even still, this was a battle won. He retreated. Let's keep looking for survivors."


Diana didn't wait too long before returning to Goku. She had brought him food, and the display of eating he put on was all the confirmation she needed that he wasn't lying about not being human. Honesty was something to value if she was going to spend the upcoming weeks talking with the Saiyan. It would be too suspicious to bring the Lasso of Truth, but somehow, she knew she wouldn't need it.

She sat at the side of the bed, "So, this Majin Buu. What type of creature is he?"

Goku put a hand on his chin, "Well I don't know what he is, but all he seems to know is destruction. He doesn't want to rule the universe. He wants to destroy it."

"And you feel it's your duty to stop him?"

"Well, at first it was just another challenge, but after seeing what he can do first hand, yes. I can't allow a being like him to exist."

A light smile appeared on Diana's lips, "So, you like a good challenge, huh?

Goku winked, "The bigger the better."

"We'll have to spar someday. See if you're as powerful as you're making me believe. I've never fought a Saiyan before."

"I can be a handful at full power. I'll make sure to take it easy on you," said Goku with a cocky grin.

"You'll do no such thing," replied Diana quickly. "If you do…you'll die."

"Thanks for the heads up. You've given me another reason to get better. I should at least be walking soon."

Diana knew there wasn't a comforting way to say this, but it was for the Saiyan's safety. "Goku, you can't leave here."

Raising his eyes, he waited for her to continue

"I don't mean you can never leave, I just can't have you walking around. Trust me, it's for your own good." Diana stood and prepared to make her exit, wanting to avoid having to answer too many questions. "Promise you won't leave."

"No," said a serious Goku. "Where am I?"

"In a sacred place."

"That's not good enough, Diana."

"You're on Themyscira. Home of the Amazons, where no man shall set foot." Not facing him, she only noticed his lack of response. "We'll discuss this tomorrow. Just please, stay here."

Leaving with this, left a bad taste in Diana's mouth. How quickly he went from potential friend to certified captive. She wasn't sure just how much she was willing to tell him and planned to spend the night preparing for tomorrow.
