"Is that what I think it is?" the daughter said.
"Yes.. it's a spaceship.." the son replied.
"No you idiot.. haven't we seen this in one of the anime we used to watch long ago." the daughter said.
"Anime? Which anime?" the son asked.
"Dragon Ball." the daughter replied. The son's eyes went wide when she said that. He looked at the child again who was still sleeping.
"Goku?" the son asked.
"Looks like him." the daughter said.
The son got scared a bit. He remembered how Goku was when he started. He was a Saiyan and a violent one at that. Only after falling down the cliff and getting hurt in the head did he change. And if the small baby inside was really Goku then it would be really troublesome.
"Father, I think you need to be ready with your weapon." the son said.
"Are you both crazy? This is a child. How will he be dangerous?" the mother asked. She was a kind one and she could never imagine a child being bad.
"Mom.. he is a Saiyan. A fucking Saiyan.. Pardon my language... But if he is violent, it won't take long for him to kill us." the son said.
"How do you know he is a Saiy..an.. or whatever he is called. He looks human from here." the mother said.
"Mom.. they have a tail.. I bet he has one.. " the son said as he was convinced already that the child inside was a Saiyan. .
"What is a Saiyan?" the father asked now curious
The daughter proceeded to explain to them what a Saiyan represented. An alien creature who had immense power. Powerful enough to destroy everything and they only lived for destruction, though the story of Goku which they knew was nothing like that.
As they argued, the door of the spaceship finally opened by itself slowly. The father was listening to the conversation of his children so he could tell that this child wasn't simple and he needed to prepare himself if the situation went south.
"You 3 go.. I will look into it." the father said as he saw the door being opened.
"No.. He is just a child.. I will not let you harm him." the mother said.
"What do you think of me? A monster? I will only defend if the child seems troublesome.. You have already seen the news of how Disney's works come to life. I will not let my family get in harm's way." the father said.
Meanwhile, the baby who had been sleeping peacefully finally opened his eyes. All 4 of them turned stiff when they saw the baby's clear and cute eyes. The mother had a warm look on her face, so did the daughter's. Only the son and the father were serious and were ready to take action if the baby here violently acted out.
The father was even ready with his equipment. But then they heard a voice from behind
"Having fun with a child are we?"
"Who!!" The father instantly reacted and punched in the air. And magically, the rings which had worn on his hands flew out to the direction of the voice. The rings had a huge power in them as it came close to the person who just spoke from behind.
But just as the rings flew out magically, it magically stopped too after hitting an invisible barrier. And then the rings after hitting came back to the father, returning back to the same way it flew out.
"I am surprised even after all these years, you haven't lost your touch. Mandarin!!"
Yes, it was Mandarin. The actual Mandarin. Not the fake one in the last human enemy Tony had faced.
The Mandarin was a legendary and nearly mythical figure who rose to power after discovering a set of mythical rings, and founded the army known as the Ten Rings. Wenwu established himself as a powerful warlord who conquered kingdoms over the millennia, the rings' power giving him immortality.
His real name was Xu Wenwu. Wenwu had continued seeking power, finding the ancient city of Ta Lo. But he fell in love with Ta Lo's gatekeeper, Ying Li. And then they got married and had a family together.
Shang and Xialing.
In the actual story, after swearing off from doing evil and had started to have a happy life, his wife was murdered in cold blood. This ticked the mandarin off and he used his rings again to rise back to his position. Eventually being stopped by his own son Shang who took over the rings.
But here nothing like this happened. The League took care of their family from the shadows and didn't let any harm come to their family. John didn't want a sad family story and he was happy with Ta Lo being safe as it stopped whatever evil was on the other side of the portal that the people of Ta Lo guarded.
