"Well, well, what do we have here?" Master Roshi's voice broke the silence. He chuckled as he approached us, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Looks like we've got some more visitors! I hope these ones are nicer than the last one."
His gaze lingered too long on Gine, Fasha, and me, causing them both to exchange puzzled glances before looking at me as I shrugged. I could see Fasha's eyebrow twitch in irritation, but she managed to keep her composure.
"Master Roshi," Kakarot greeted with a grin. "These are my new friends. This is Gine, my mother, and Fasha, and this is Celera."
Roshi's eyes widened at the introduction. "Your mother, eh? Well, isn't this a surprise! Welcome, welcome! Please, come in!"
As we followed him into the house, I noticed Piccolo standing off to the side, his arms crossed and his expression stern. He wasn't exactly thrilled to be here, but I had convinced him to tag along. Come on green Dad don't be grumpy, I couldn't help but think. As I held the door open for him to come in.
Bulma and Krillin were already there, having a quiet conversation in the corner. Bulma looked up, her eyes widening as she saw us enter. "Goku! You're back!" she exclaimed, rushing over to greet us.
Krillin followed closely behind, a look of concern on his face. "Hey, Goku. Who are your friends?" he asked, glancing at Gine, Fasha, and me.
Kakarot introduced everyone, and I could see Bulma's curiosity piqued as she took in the sight of Gine, Fasha, and me. "Wow, so you're all Saiyans too?" she asked, her eyes wide with interest as she turned to look at our tails.
Gine nodded, her expression softening as she looked at Bulma. "Yes, we are. I'm Goku's mother, Gine. And this is Fasha, Celera's aunt."
Bulma smiled warmly. "It's nice to meet you both. I'm Bulma, and this is Krillin."
Krillin nodded in greeting, then turned to Kakarot. "Goku, what happened out there? We felt the energy from the fight."
Kakarot began to explain, but Piccolo stepped forward, cutting him off. "There's something important we need to discuss. There are more powerful Saiyans coming. Raditz was just the beginning." He said cutting to the point.
The room fell silent as the weight of Piccolo's words settled over them. Gine's looked troubled as she didn't like to fight and I looked at her, placing my hand on her shoulder and giving it a light squeeze. "You're not going to fight so don't worry so much, Your Majesty."
Those words weren't lost on the earthlings and Kakarot. While Fasha simply nodded at my words.
"More powerful Saiyans?" Krillin echoed, his voice filled with concern. "How much time do we have?"
"One year," Piccolo replied, his tone grim. "We need to be prepared. These Saiyans are stronger than Raditz. We can't afford to underestimate them."
Bulma looked at Gine and Fasha, her expression curious. "What about you two? Do you have any special training techniques from your world that we could use?"
Gine shook her head. "Not really. Most of the Saiyan's training in our new home world is focused on survival and combat as well as capturing wild beasts. But I'm sure Fasha and Celera will be willing to learn and adapt to whatever methods you have." She was making it clear she wouldn't be fighting. Besides With me and Fasha, and Tato, Hanisha, and Raditz hopefully coming once they set him straight there wouldn't be a need to worry.
Fasha nodded in agreement. "We got this, just need some good sparring," she said while looking beat up. Still trying to abuse our Zenki.
Master Roshi leaned back, his expression serious for once. "Training is one thing, maybe you all could go to Kami for extra training."
Master Roshi, still eyeing the newcomers with curiosity, finally spoke up. "So, you're all Saiyans, huh? What brings you here to Earth?"
Fasha smirked. "We're here to help, old man."
Roshi chuckled, clearly amused by Fasha's straightforwardness. "Well, it's good to have you all here. Just make sure to keep the destruction to a minimum, alright?"
Bulma nodded, her expression thoughtful. "We need to gather as much information as we can about these new Saiyans."
Krillin looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. "What can you tell us about these Saiyans? What are we up against?"
I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "They're powerful. Raditz is way stronger than I had expected him to be so it makes sense to believe that the other two will be stronger than I estimated." I began to tell them what I knew about the ex-prince Vegeta and Nappa. Recalling most of my memories as a kid back on planet Vegeta.
"Alright," Master Roshi finally said, breaking the silence. "Let's get to work. We've got a lot of training to do, and not a lot of time to do it."
"wait don't you have anything that could help Heal Prince Kakarot and piccolo as well as me and my aunt?" I was hinting at the senzu beans but wasn't trying to make it so obvious.
Master Roshi stroked his beard thoughtfully at my hint. "Ah, I have just the thing, Senzu Beans that can help you recover quickly."
Krillin perked up. "I'll go get them," he said, quickly heading upstairs. As we waited for Krillin to return, Bulma turned to Kakarot, curiosity shining in her eyes. "Goku, are you really a prince?"
Kakarot looked a bit sheepish. "Well, I guess so. I didn't know about it until recently. It's still kind of weird to think about."
Gine stepped forward, her expression gentle but firm. "Let me explain. When we escaped Planet Vegeta, thanks to the help of someone we owe our lives to" I could see her eyes shift to me for a second before focusing back on Balma. "the remaining Saiyans decided to form a new society. Given our survival and the need for leadership and the past that we were leaving behind. ways and all, they made me their queen. That technically makes Kakarot, or Goku as you know him, a prince."
Bulma's eyes widened. "Wow, that's incredible! So, you're royalty? Damn, I should have married you when I had the chance" she said as she raised her hand to her face, cupping her own cheek.
Gine smiled and chuckled softly. "So, I take it you are married Kakarot? I would like to meet your wife soon."
Before more questions could be asked, Krillin returned with a small bag of Senzu Beans. "Here, these should do the trick," he said, handing them out.
Kakarot, Piccolo, Fasha, and I each took one, and popping one into our mouths we bit into it, and the feeling of an immediate surge of energy and healing spread through at least my body. The aches and pains from our earlier battles quickly faded, replaced by a renewed sense of strength and vigor.
"These are amazing," I said, flexing my healed muscles. "Thank you." So this is what it felt like to eat one of these. Hell, I wasn't even hungry like I had been before.
Kakarot turned to Gine with a smile. "Mother, I think it's time you met my wife, Chi-Chi. She's at home and Gohan will need some time to rest. " he pointed to the boy sleeping in Gines's arms. " I think you'd like her."
Gine's face lit up with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "I would love to meet her, Kakarot."
Bulma looked at Kakarot with a teasing smile. "So, you're taking your mom to meet Chi-Chi? That's going to be interesting."
Kakarot laughed. "Yeah, it should be. Chi-Chi is great, and I'm sure she'll be happy to meet my mother."
Piccolo cleared his throat, drawing our attention. "While Goku takes care of that, the rest of us need to focus on our training. We should head to Kami's Lookout as Master Roshi suggested. We don't have much time, and we need to make every second count."
Krillin nodded but was still looking at Piccolo with worry. "Alright, let's head to Kami's Lookout. We have a lot of training to do."
As we prepared to leave, I turned to Gine and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Gine. We'll make sure to protect this planet and your family."
Gine nodded, her eyes filled with pride. "I know you will, Celera. Thank you."
With that, Kakarot, Gine, Left atop the flying Nimbus. I had tried stepping on it but my feet ended up passing through it. Smiling sheepishly, I decided to go with the others. "Kakarot, make sure to bring your son with you when you head over to meet us at this Kami person." I waved them off as I followed the others as they flew towards Kami's Lookout. Well lets see how this will turn out.
