Dragon Ball Z: I'm Just Saiyan...

A/N: Sorry for the long intermission. I just hadn't been able to get around to producing the next chapter. I was stuck and didn't know how to continue. I'm back though, and appreciate everyone's reviews. This chapter isn't action-y, but definitely look forward to that in the next chapter. Thanks again for the 100+ reviews and I hope to get even more.

Dragonball Z

Chapter 19

The Conflict Begins

The time of the tournament's start approaches, and the heroes pf Earth were close to finishing their training preperations. Even more so, knowing that the would be evil known as Majin Buu being close to being reborn. Everyone was gathered at the Brief's home, all conversing in the common's room. It would be another two hours before the hover carrier was primed and ready for take-off, large enough to accomodate all its passengers. Goku had finally thought it was time to reveal the coming danger of Majin Buu, and the many dangers that would accompany.

"But the difference this time, is that Gohan is fully trained this whole time! So when we find the old kai, his potential will make him easily more powerful than a Super Saiyan 3!" Goku said excitedly with balled fists and a grin plastered on his face. Gohan throughout this explanation was thinking internally, a hand on his chin.

"So, in this...alternate timeline, I had gone slack in my training," Gohan trailed off, pausing to look at Goku's nod of confirmation, "and my energy was sapped from two men, Spopovich and Yamu?" Goku nodded again. "Yeah, but now, you're almost three times as strong as you were when you defeated cell!" Goku said, obviously proud. Gohan nodded, not completely understanding the concept of an alternate timeline, only experiencing that with the whole android conflict. He did understand the gravity of it all though, so it only motivated him to keep up his training. Bad things tended to happen when they got rusty. So Majin Buu was coming to town. He didn't know who they were, but he guessed that he was tougher than cell if Goku had the need to tell them.

Chi-Chi strided forward and got hold of Goku. "Goku, you better not die on me this time!" she said seriously. Goku seemed to have noticed her seriousness and pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry, I won't be dying. We're extremely prepared this time. We know exactly how to defeat this villian." Chi-Chi sighed tiredly, "Goku, this is-"

"The last time, I know, I know," Goku said soothingly, effectively cutting her off. In a rare show of public affection, he tenderly kissed her cheek and gently squeezed her hands. "I'll make everything right this time. Besides, we have a secret weapon," Goku remarked cryptically. "Two, actually", he amended. "Or three actually..." he said suddenly, starting to concentrate.

"Well, we have a lot of secret weapons basically!" Goku laughed good-naturedly. Suddenly he looked conspiratorial, and he pointed inconspicuously at Broly. "That guy there is the legendary Super Saiyan," Goku whispered mischieviously. Chi-Chi had a strange look on her face, before she focused on Goku again.

"Goku, first you and our sons turn into delinquents, and now we have a legendary delinquent?" she whispered in return, not amused at all.

"Aw, don't be like that Chi-Chi!" Goku returned, not whispering now, but speaking softly enough that the rest of the room wouldn't hear. "Think about it. With his help, we can get rid of danger to the planet faster," Goku reasoned. Chi-Chi still looked unsure.

"Uh...I'll have time for a job," Goku concluded. Chi-Chi, as Goku expected, lit up at this. "Oh, that's wonderful! Okay, Goku," Chi-Chi said seriously. "You go and save the world, but you or one of the Sons better win!" she scolded half-seriously. Goku laughed again and nodded with an "I promise."

Goku and Vegeta reconvened in front of the gravity chamber. They were planning their next move in regards to the whole situation with Buu.

"Well, Babidi will show up in at least a few days after the first round, and the tournament goes on for a few weeks." Vegeta only nodded, no doubt thinking heavily on recent events.

"After the tournament, we'll have to deal with Planet Vegeta. Seeing as how I killed Frieza in this timeline, the Saiyans still exist," Vegeta started, Broly being a testament to Vegeta's explanation.

"Right," Goku said with a nod. A thought had suddenly hit Goku and he clasped his hands behing his neck. "Say, seeing as how Broly's even sane," Goku began to say, remembering what Vegeta told him about Broly's injury during his childhood, "Wouldn't that mean that King Vegeta and the rest of the saiyans have thought some things through?"

Vegeta merely grunted. Kakarot was right. From fear overriding common sense, the king would have initially just ordered Broly to have been destroyed while he was still a baby. Recent happenings did point to some changes that were occurring. And though Vegeta loathe to admit it, having Broly as an ally is extremely beneficial. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Vegeta stated. "We have a rematch we never got around to, to prepare for," the prince of Saiyans said while walking away. Goku smiled knowingly. He couldn't feel any more grateful for all of the allies he had as of now.
