A new adventure, back to childhood
A fic from Mutty and Apolonia.
Things would become difficult that morning that everything changed...
"Ubb, why are you always so kind to your enemy? With more force! Come on!"
"Yes Mr. Goku, but won't it be too much for the temple to resist?!"
"Come on, do your best. I want you to attack me with all your strength!!"
"Ah Great Pilaf. What was that?"
"I don't know Shuu, but now that we have the Dragon Balls we should go to investigate, so we can avoid someone to steal them from us"
"But Great Pilaf, if it is someone powerful, what are we going to do?"
"What? What are we going to do? You two will face the subject and defeat him. What else you thought?"
"Bu...tt Great Pilaf, I would say better..."
"Shut up head dog! I already told you clearly what we are going to do..."
The three robbers began to walk carefully, holding the box with the 7 balls; they already had everything ready to ask that wish that they longed for many years... Finally the world would be conquered by them, finally, alter more than 40 years, world would be ruled by the Great Pilaf and their faithful servants, Shuu and Maii. They walked cautious, reviewing any loophole of the temple they desecrated, trying to find the source of the strong tremor... Until they found a half-open door, and there there were two mighty warriors, charging themselves to the other, almost without mercy whatsoever, attacking themselves as if it was a decisive battle for the universe. A black haired warrior, with the hair shaped crest, young apparently, and another very strong, with a blue suit, yellow trousers and a white belt with a sharp hair that made them remind someone... But still could not remember to whom.
Trembling slightly Shuu looked at his king "Great Pilaf... I don't think we can defeat these young boys... they seem to be too strong"
Disappointed Pilaf said under his breath "Shuu I know that you are right, but this time we will have to escape, we can't allow to get what is our, to be taken away again... But there is something in that warrior who leaves me thinking... he reminds me someone"
Maii began to tremble unable to stop, causing Shuu and Pilaf to turn around to see her, while both were staring at her, Maii began walking backwards, with her face blue for having come to realize something that she shouldn't have.
"What the hell's going on with you Maii¿What on Earth did you see?" Pilaf hissed.
"Th... the... warrior with stirred hair... is... th... e... the..."
"The what!! Spit it now!" Shuu shouted furious.
"It is that brat... Goku!!"
The three were paralyzed, while Goku and Ubb continued training without noting the invasive small presences.
"We gotta run away from here... we can't allow that our chance is taken away again... we should find the way to get rid of him, and thus avoid interfering in our plans."
"Great decision Master... let's run away as soon as possible!"
"Let's run for this hall Great Pilaf!"
The thieves rushed their steps and arrived in a large room filled with rare and ancient objects, "Great Pilaf this is a perfect place to summon the dragon and ask our wish!"
Shuu trembled nervously when saying those words, a lifetime in search of the Dragon Balls, lacked so little when...
"Mr Goku this training was very tiring, I hardly feel my arms!"
"Let's go Ubb, better take a good rest and eat something," Goku in the direction of the hall, "Sir I think they are approaching" Maii felt that his whole body shivered, if they were caught everything was lost; goodbye wish, good bye Dragon Balls, good bye to conquer the...
"Silence idiots!" Pilaf knew very well that if Goku discovered them as the other times, there would be a fight, Goku will beat them and everything would be as always, trying again... "Damn I won't allow that brat to interfere in our plans again"
While the three invaders quietly walked by the temple, inadvertently Shuu threw one of the vases, making Maii and Pilaf look each other prisoners of the horror, while spying the two warriors who just ended their arduous training.
"What was that Mr Goku?" Ubb asked with curiosity.
"To tell you the truth I have no idea, do you want to go to investigate?" Goku cheerfully replied.
"Oh God... they are going to find us" Shuu whispered shaking.
"Damned stupid dog, you had to make use of your stupidity once again in the least opportune moment" whispered almost inaudible, scolding his server for his untimely ineptitude.
"Let's run, go to the surface of the temple and summon this Dragon... we can't waste any more time" Pilaf said desperate, feeling once again as he approached his defeat, as his dream was falling apart once more, he could no longer bare it.
"Vegeta!! Where the hell did you go? I already told you a thousand times that I am not going to allow that you train Bra! Dammit I swear that if you don't appear I'm not going to feed you for a month¡AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR DESERT IN THE NIGHTS FOR A YEAR VEGETA!"
"Aw, stop woman, how noisy you have become, older and louder; and I told you that the brat will do as it pleases me, and if she agrees to train, you have nothing to do about it. End of the story!" He said with folded arms, leaning against the edge of the lab's door where his wife was sitting in front of the monitor, with a desperate look, full of fury.
"Oh, no Vegeta... don't you dare! It was enough to let you teach her to fly and make little lights with her hands, don't you think is enough?"
"I told you a thousand times to talk with property, stubborn woman. They are not little lights, they are attacks, and my daughter is not going to be a weakling that can't cope not even a mosquito, got it? Or you intend that all this lifetime I should be here to protect her? Don't you ever think about that either?" Noted the smart prince, making his wife notice that little great detail.
Resigned, Bulma moved aside her computer keyboard y took the cigarettes that were in the drawer, to light one on and appease the anger momentarily. "Look Vegeta, I know that you are right, but I think Bra also has the right to be a normal person, it is also human you know?"
"And Saiyajin too, and not only that, she's got my blood on her veins, and I will not allow squander her inheritance, I am not going to let my daughter to be a shame or being unable to defend herself of even small-mindedness, so there is no more nothing to discuss women, the brat will train, and will be worthy of carrying lineage blood in her being. End of story." Said approaching his wife to turn her cigarette that she holded on her hand.
"Oh Vegeta, you know that I can no longer fight with you, you are so stubborn sometimes, luckily Bra is quite adult to decide what to do, but I swear if I was younger, you wouldn't win with that stubbornness you have." She said annoyed to see how her cigarette was of, and how the prince smiled to her victoriously.
"Ha, I want to see that woman. At least I win without dirty tricks..."
It was then that Bulma noticed what her beloved husband meant, aiming her to outline a mischievous smirk that made his beautiful husband blush.
"Come on Veggie, you know that you enjoy it as much as I do." She said standing up from the chair to take her husband from his waist, and give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Enough woman, you are not going to win thus very cheap."
"That's what you said when you newly arrived at my house, and look at you, it's nice than twenty years saying the same." She said giggling while she caressed her mate's back.
"You know woman... I think we can solve this issue in another place."
"I very much agree Veggie... What are you planning to do?"
"Better ask yourself what I am planning to do with you, woman" He said sensually to her ears while lifting her to arrive to their room, as if they were newlyweds.
"Dad, can you help me to get off these purchases of the car? They are quite heavy." Said the blonde smiling, while holding the keys to the Aero Car.
"I wonder Marron; do you really need to buy so many clothes every time you go to the city?" Asked a weary Krillin while he opened the door of Kame-house.
"Come on Krillin, is a girl, she has all the right to buy nice clothes, plus you have a beautiful girl... though not as beautiful as her mom," Said the Master Roshi smirking maliciously, looking to an infuriated Eighteen.
"How many times I must repeat old decrepit man to stop looking at me like that?" Shouted a furious Eighteen, raising her fist ready to give a nice punch to the degenerated elder.
"Come on darling, you know how the Master is, don't get angry like this" Krillin tried to calm her, waving both hands.
"SHUT UP! Go and help the girl with her purchases, NOW! And you..." she said looking to the Master again that now was shaking violently due to the terror. "Better stop being a stupid elder and do not try to do another comment like that one, because the next time you will have to beg for your life to Kami, understood?"
"Yes... I think I also go to help Marron down those things."
The Master came running behind Krillin, while Krillin opened the door to begin his task of organizing the new purchases of her child.
"Oh darling, you should stop buying so many things, your father can no longer do such a big effort, and you know that I'm not as strong as a few years ago."
"Come on Dad, they are just a few bags... don't suffer that much, it's not that much, come on, with the Master we will take all this things in a second."
Signing for the fatigue, Krillin took ten bags, and looking up to the sky he sighed again. "How would I like to be young again, and not get tired these much, to have strength like Marron, like Eighteen."

It had been many years for Yamcha without going out for a date, maybe it was waking up and watching himself in the mirror, and yearning the beauty that had accompanied hum for so many years. It wasn't depression what made him not to go out with women, was lack of self confidence in itself. He still had many fans since he was a big baseball star, but it was not the same than before. Women were never missing, that was true, but love would never come back to his door. He had lost her, his great love, his most precious treasure, the one he was unable to enjoy. To the great thief of the desert, he was stolen his most important treasure, his woman.
"Some of that is my fault; I was the one unable to retain her... I should stop to hold up myself; I still have too much to live for."
He decided to collect his long hair, while he brushed it in front of the mirror; it was no longer appropriate for a man in his longer fifties using his hair long and loose, full of gray hair. "I should invite Itzumi for a walk, she is a beautiful woman and we have been talking for several weeks, I think that's what I'm going to do." He always met women, in most f the meetings that he was used to attend, as the best baseball player of all times, he had the opportunity to participate in meetings with famous people, and women died for him, they love his masculinity, strength, that youth that in spite his age was even brighter that theirs. Yamcha always store hearts, he lived every night with a different woman, it was like that for many years, after he was left by Bulma for his recurring infidelities, and he was devoted to women and sports. He dedicated himself to get rich, in order to maintain his biggest vice, love.
Being with a woman, conquer her, invite her to dinner, a movie, and then take her home to share all the night with her, it was like being in love, as the first stage of love. Then, he ceased to call her, or did not answer the calls she made. And look for another woman. It was lie being always in love. As not suffering for that love that he could never forger, the owner of his heart.
Two hours had passed; Yamcha was ready, had a beige suit, a black shirt, and dark shoes and had his hair. He took of his car, said goodbye to his loyal friend Puar, and start traveling to Itzumi's house. "This time is gonna be different, she's gotta be different."
"Yamcha! Nice to see you! Thank you for coming to visit me, actually, I though you were not coming, as you did not confirm if we were going to go out or not." Said smiling the redhead woman of about thirty years or so.
"Of course I was coming, it had been several days without seeing you in the cafeteria, I missed chatting with you." Said a melancholy Yamcha.
"Wait a minute that I'm going to fix my hair and we can go a cup of coffee, what do you think?" She said excited, watching as his guest seemed happy to see her again.
"Take your time, do not rush, I wait for you here." He said pointing to the sofa, while sitting in it.
"It won't take me more than ten minutes, thanks for the patience Yamcha." She said hastily running on the stairs to get her hairstyle arranged.
"Is like she was the one, but no one can be compared to you, Bulma, how I wish I was young again, to change my mistakes, to keep you by my side, love you as I should have always loved you... but I guess that I should get used to my new life, after all is not so bad, I am always escorted, although it would be better if I had at least thirty years less, I would be less tired... but well, not everything is so bad." He said looking at the young woman that was walking downstairs with her splendid tight black dress, and her semi-tied hairstyle.
"Are we going Yamcha?" She asked taking his arm.
"Of course, let's go."
"Oh those times where I only lived for cooking and caring for my children, now everything is so empty, Goku went to train with that child and I... here, alone, old and badly worn, a whole lifetime available for everybody else but me, I never complained because I love my children, I love Goku, a life full of sacrifice, and the worst of all! I can't follow that rhythm, that youth, that vitality that is due to their race, that one I do not have... how I would like that everything changed and be younger." Chi-chi redirected her gaze toward the sky doping to find the answer to her wishes, but she had no idea that in some distant place, the course of this history would change entirely...
"Mr Goku what's happening!"
"Let's go and see what happens Ubb!" Goku flew to the top floor of the temple without even imagine what he would find...
What was his great surprise at seeing Pilaf and his henchmen invoking Shenlong.
"Appear Shenlong!" Pilaf was shouting angrily the name of the Dragon God that will grant him his will; finally I will be the owner of the world!
"What's going on here?" Goku appeared at the right time and came in front of Pilaf.
"Now yes, we are in troubles." Maii trembled to see Goku in front of them they were caught!
"Nooooo! Yo won't ruin my dream again!"
"I know you, aren't you the little Martian that seeks the Dragon Balls to seize the world?" Goku smiled as always with one hand behind the neck.
"You always ruin everything boy!" Pilaf was so furious that was unable to understand what he was saying.
"Great Pilaf calm down please, don't you see that you are a bit old to scream like that." Shuu was trying to fix the situation.
"Shut up dog!!! Because of your stupid neglect our plans were ruined again! How I wish that boy and his entire clan were of this size to crush them totally and end this for once and for all!
"OK, if that's your desire that would be it..."
