To See the Old Neighborhood.....

Part 2

Every one of the Saiyans was silent for a second. Vegita-sei? How would that be possible? The planet was gone! Gone!

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Nappa asked, looking, understandably, somewhat frustrated. All the others looked at Noone in expectation of his answer.

Noone looked around as he tried to find the right way to explain it (or they felt him look around), "Our big-brother reality has certain.......abilities........that we use from time to time," he nodded as he agreed with himself, "One of the best and most appreciated gifts we can give a limited race such as the Saiyans is the gift of seeing their old planet again. We've already done it for a many other races in many other realities, and it was a BIG success!"

"You make it sould like some campagne," Radditz grumbled. It was kind of obvious to everyone except Noone, that no one trusted him.

"Oh! I just remembered!" Noone cheered.

"On your own?" Turles asked.

Noone ignored him and continued talking all to excitedly, "There are a few rules in order for this to work!"

Everyone groaned.

"What is it?" Noone asked, concerned.

"No one-," Vegita started to say.

"Noone," Noone said.

"No, I mean NO ONE," Vegita snapped, "No one here beleaves you."

"Oh, dear me!" Noone unseeable was distressed, "I guess I'll have to prove it to you!"

Everyone waited for some sign to prove Noone was telling the truth, but Noone just stood there smiling.

"WELL!?" Turles finally said, looking around.

Noone looked up at the sky and asked, "You mean you can't tell?" Everyone started looking around up at the sky. Nothing could be seen that seemed out of place or different...........save, of coarse Noone, who would look out of place anywhere.

"Um......," Goku said slowly, "What did you do?"

"I brought back Vegita-sie!" Noone said, giving them the feeling he was smiling proudly.

"WHAT!?!" all five squacked. Vegita and Goku reached out as far as they could to try pick up the unique signiture of a Saiyan's chi. The planet was so far away, though, that they weren't sure if they felt it or not..........but they were pretty sure. Somehow, Noone had done as he had said. Out of the blue, Vegita-sie was back.

"It's...........it's right there!" Goku said, amazed by the almost familiar feeling of not one or two, but MILLIONS of Saiyan chi's all milling around somewhere far off in space.

"How......?" Vegita was having a hard time comprehending what had happened. Nappa, Turles and Radditz all looked at Vegita and Kakarot. They had learned to trust and depend on the two stronger Saiyan's ability to feel chi early on.

Radditz tried to reach out to feel his planet as well, but he wasn't skilled enough to do it yet.

Noone beamed with pride that they finally beleaved him, "Yep! It's there, just like I said! You all do want to go there, right?"

"I can't see how we wouldn't!" Turles cheered, getting excited at seeing his planet again.

"Wait a second," Radditz said, "Okay, so you brought back the planet and all the people one it.....but what about all the people that WEREN'T on it? Or the allies of the planet that AREN'T Saiyans?"

"Oh, gee! You do have a point there! Give me a second to work this out!" and before anything else could be done, all five of the confused Saiyans were blinded AGAIN by a bright flash of light as Noone dissappeared for a minute.

"I REALLY dislike that guy.......," Radditz said, waving his hand before his face but being un-able to see it.

"Dito," Turles said, staring around blankly as he waited for his sight to return again.

"We must look funny right now," Nappa said, "Five blind Saiyans floating around as they wait for some stupid little person to come order them around."

Though Nappa couldn't see it, he got four very dirty looks for that comment.

Soon, their sight began to return again. Just as they were begining to be able to make out details with their cloudy eyes again, however, there was ANOTHER bright flash as Noone returned to their reality.

"Raaahhh!!" Turles yelled in frustration and tried to shoot a chi blast at Noone. He couldn't see what he was doing, however, and he missed sorely.

"I'm baaaack!" they could all hear Noone's voice, though they couldn't see a thing, "And I have that problem all worked out!"

"Oh, goo-deey," Turles mumbled. His eyes barely able to make out the blue in the sky and the green in the forest.

"Well now! That's the spirit!!" Noone didn't seem to be able to recognize sarcasm very well, "What I've done is bring back all the Saiyans that were alive at the time it exploded and put them on the planet! And after that, I brought back all the aliens who had major ties to the planet and put THEM on a space ship NEAR the planet! The best part is, they won't remember a THING about how they died!" Noone seemed so increidibly PROUD! "Well? What do you think!?"

"That's..........nice," Goku said hesitantly, "But didn't you say something about rules or conditioins......."

"Oh that's right!" Noone cheered, "I forgo-"

"You forgot again, yes, WE KNOW!" Vegita shouted, "Now just SAY THEM ALL READY!"

"Oh kay okay!" Noone said quickly, "There are only a few rules. One: ALL Saiyans, and relatives of Saiyans have to go."

"Hmm?" Radditz asked, not sure what exactly he ment.

"I think he means Gohan, Goten and Trunks," Goku said, thinking of people he knew were realted to him or Vegita by blood.

"No, there's more than that......." Noone said, and he got a look as though he were hearing a voice no one else could.

"Who?" Vegita asked, glaring. By now, all of their sight had returned fully.

"You," Noone pointed at Vegita, "Have TWO children, right?"

"You want me to bring BRA!?" Vegita yelled angraly. He didn't like being told what to do, much less what to do with HIS royal children.

"It's the rules, I'm afraid," Noone said with a sad shrug, "I can't change them."

"Well.........is that all?" Nappa asked.

"No, there is another one! You," he gestured to Goku, "Your oldest son has a daughter, right? She would have to come too. If the children don't come, I'm afraid I can't send any of you either."

"They'll come!" Turles said to Noone. He was getting eager to see his planet again.

Goku knotted his brow, "That's not going to be easy."

"Why not!?" Turles yelled at Goku.

"Because.....Gohan might not want Pan to come," Goku gave Turles a pointed look, "He might come on his own, but he wouldn't want to endanger his daughter."

"WHADDYA MEAN 'ENDANGER!?'" Turles was frantic. He was so close to seeing Vegita-sie he could taste it.

"Every Saiyan he ever met in his entire life has tried to kill him," Goku said sternly, "And though it would nearly be impossible for another Saiyan to kill him now, Pan is still a baby. A VULNERABLE baby. I admit that not even I want Pan too go to such a dangerous place."

Turles, Radditz and Nappa exchanged looks. They hadn't exactly helped much with their actions in the past. But that wasn't the only thing the Saiyans were thinking about.

Goku pressed his lips together and looked from one Saiyan face to the next, seeing the same question in each set of dark Saiyan eyes.

"And you, Kakarot?" Radditz asked, "Do YOU want to go?"

Kakarot.........Goku........He was Son Goku the Earthling, he was Kakarot the Saiyan.........

"I don't know," Goku/Kakarot said, "I think so. I want to.....need to see the part of my life I can't remember. This is probably my only chance.........I won't get another........"

Noone nodded emphatically, "Yep yep! Indeed, a one in a life time offer! But hurry, this is valid for a limited time!"

Nappa laughed, "He sounds like one of those t.v. commercials......."

"What do you mean 'limited time'?" Vegita asked, cocking his head to one side in posture full of suspition.

"Huh?" Noone asked innocently, "Oh! If you're going to go, you have to leave within the hour."

"WHAT?!" Radditz yelled.

"THANKS a BUNDLE for telling us this in advance!" Turles raged.

"Didn't I mention it before?" Noone screwed his eyes as he tried to remember.

"Nevermind," Goku said as he turned his back to leave, "If I'm going to try to convince Gohan to go, PLUS bring Pan with him with only ONE hour to do it in, I should talk to him immidiatly."

"Good," Vegita said, turning also, "You get them, I'll get Trunks, Goten and Bra! I'll just tell Bulma to tell Chichi we left. We don't have TIME to argue with HER!"

"Right! We'll meet back here in an hour!" Goku called to Vegita before the two of them flew off in opposite directions to collect their children so they could visit a planet that should no longer exist.
