Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine Vol. 6

Episode 27 - Training In The Heavens 

On Earth,the "Child" of King Piccolo,also named Piccolo,is out and about and training to defeat Kakarot. Meanwhile,Tien,Chiaotzu,Yamcha,Krillin,and Chi Chi have left Master Roshi's to train together. They eventually meet Bora,who tells them of Korin Tower,where they can get some great training.

So,our 5 heroes head to Korin Tower,where they Train with Korin. Oh and,Yajirobe trains with them as well.   

Back on Kami's Lookout,as Kakarot is doing some sparring with Mr. Popo,Gine asks Kami for special training,so that she can one day defeat Frieza. Kami tells Gine that He's heard of Frieza through the words of other Planetary Guardians and knows that he will be defeated one day.

Gine thanks Kami again for allowing Kakarot and Herself to train here and asks if he doesn't mins her being barefoot,as she finds it comforting and efficient for fighting. Kami tells her that he doesn't mind,but does question her attitude on "Fair Fighting."

Kami tells her that,while Fair Fighting is a very noble thing,that nobility needs to be set aside when fighting truly evil beings. Meaning she could've killed Piccolo easily,even though it would cost him his own life,as well as the Dragon Balls.

Gine asks Kame what he means? Kami tells her that King Piccolo and Himself were connected spiritually,and if Piccolo dies so does He and vice versa. But that since King Piccolo had most of his essence transferred into his "Final Son",Kami gets to live and the Dragon Balls remain active. 

Gine doesn't understand this "Connected Spiritually" concept much,so Kami explains further. He tells Gine that King Piccolo originated as the evil mess that lived within Him,born out of His own frustration with the Human Race's greed and ignorance. 

When He sought the Guardianship of Earth,his predecessor,saw his potential,but warned that He could never become a Guardian unless He extracted the evil within. And so,He did,but that Evil took a Physical Form - The Evil King Piccolo. 

Gine thinks she Understands now. A few minutes later,Kami and Popo take Kakarot and Gine to a room. Kami tells them that inside the room is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber,where Warriors can get a full years training in an entire day. 

Gine is amazed at such a place exists. Popo leads the 2 Saiyans in. Gine and Kakarot are amazed at their new surroundings and are shocked at the high gravity and lack of oxygen in the room. Mr. Popo tells them that,with the exception of the livable "Temple",the Time Chamber is all endless space.

Gine doesn't think they'll last too long,but will try to anyway. Meanwhile,Piccolo senses that Kakarot is growing stronger and Will surpass him,so Piccolo Jr. decides to invade Kakarot's Training session and kill him before He gets too strong.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 28 - The Mean Green Intruder From Hell. 

Piccolo Jr. arrives at Kami's look out and is confronted by Mr. Popo and Kami telling the Son of the Demon King that he's unwelcome here. Piccolo Jr. tells them to bring out Kakarot. And when they refuse,Piccolo Jr. demands them to bring his enemy out.

But,Kami and Mr. Popo stand their ground. Piccolo is ready to fight,but Krillin,Tien,and Yamcha arrive and reveal that Korin has taught them how to sence Ki and that they have sensed Piccolo Jr. and are ready to defend Kami's lookout and Kami.

Piccolo tells them that he has no interest in any of them at the moment and only wants Kakarot. Kami finally tells Piccolo Jr. that Kakarot and Gine are training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and will be out tomorrow. But Piccolo Jr. refuses to wait and demands to be taken to Kakarot NOW!

The heroes are ready to fight,but Kami just tells them to return to their training at Korin's,and that he and Mr. Popo will deal with "Demon Jr." Despite objections,the 3 heroes leave reluctantly. Kami tells Piccolo Jr. that he'll take him to Kakarot.

Kami takes Piccolo to the Time Chamber,but takes the long way for stalling purposes. Kami telepathically communicates with Gine and Kakarot,telling them that Piccolo Jr. is here and wants to fight and kill them. He tells them that he's taking the long way as a stalling tactic and to hurry up and finish training,because the the stall tactic isn't going to last.

After a few minutes,Kami leads Piccolo Jr. to the Chamber. Suddenly,Kakarot and Gine exit the Chamber,stronger and more experienced than ever. (even though they've only spent only 5 hours,Earth Time,in there).

Kami tells them to fight somewhere else and that his "Holy Sanctuary" isn't a "Battlefield". Gine agrees and tells Piccolo that they'll fight him in the Time Chamber,which Kami objects to. But,Gine insists,since She and Kakarot trained in the Chamber,it's only "Fair" that Piccolo Jr. gets a turn too. Plus,Gine wants a better sparring partner for Kakarot.

Kakarot is interested in seeing what Piccolo Jr. can do. Kami lets Piccolo Jr. into the Chamber,but requests that Gine forget about "Fair Play" and defeat Him. Gine tells Kami that She won't be making promises,but Will prevent Piccolo from destroying things.

The 3 enter the Chamber,ready to fight. Kami wishes our heroes luck.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 29 - Battle Inside Of The Chamber!

Piccolo Jr. gets ready to fight. Gine tells Kakarot to be careful and wishes him luck. Kakarot battles Piccolo Jr. and barely defeats him. Piccolo Jr. is not done yet and is ready for "Round 2". He removes his weighted Cape and Turban and gets Ready. Gine is impressed that Piccolo also trains with weighted clothing. Kakarot,who was also wearing weighted clothing,removes his weighted undershirt,wrist pads,and boots.

As the battle continues,Gine senses that Piccolo Jr. seems a bit different than his Father,and not just power-wise. But She can't tell what,yet. Piccolo Jr. is eventually defeated - but barely. Kakarot,tired as hell,commends Piccolo Jr. on his strength and skill. Gine is also impressed.

Piccolo Jr.,exhausted,snaps at them and promises payback at the Tournament,there he will have the pleasure of Killing them Both in front of a Worldwide audience. Piccolo Jr. leaves the chamber and the lookout.

Gine tells Kakarot that they still have some more training to do and decides to train outside the chamber for a while. Kakarot thinks that it's a good idea. And so the 2 Saiyans leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber,promising to train inside it again one day.

Epidode 26 - The Guardian of Earth. 

Gine returns to Gohan's place on Mount Poazu,only to find Gohan dying. Gohan says his final words to Gine and thanks Her and Kakarot for everything and not to worry about Him,as He has lived a "Great Life". Gine weeps for Gohan as he passes on. 

Since Gohan died of Natural Causes,He can't be brought back with the Dragon Balls. Gine gives Gohan a nice Burial. And after saying a prayer,the Barefoot Saiyan Lady leaves for Kami's lookout.

Meanwhile, Kakarot is being refused by Mr. Popo,Kami's assistant. Kakarot wants to see Kami and that He has business with him. Mr. Popo tells Kakarot that he has done nothing to earn that right,despite destroying King Piccolo. Gine arrives and tells Kakarot about Gohan. Kakarot is sad.

Mr. Popo tells Kakarot that he should go home now. Gine tells Mr. Popo that they need to see Kami Now and that He's the only one that can revive Shenron. But,Popo is unfazed. Gine is upset that Popo won't allow them to revive Shenron so that they can revive their friends.   

Kami tells Mr. Popo to let them see Him.  Kami shows himself and Gine is shocked that he looks like King Piccolo. Kami reveals that He's Piccolo's good side and agrees to revive Shenron so that The Dragon Balls could be used to revive the ones who were killed by Piccolo. 

Kami tells Mr. Popo to retreve the "Dragon Mold" from his room. As Popo isdoing this,Kami tells the Saiyans that he created the Dragon Balls to be a simbol of hope for the Earthlings,but that greed had ruined their purpose. He originally wanted to let Shenron remain dead,but Gine and Kakarot's sencerity changed his mind.  

Mr. Popo brings out the broken "Dragon Mold". Kami fixes it and revives Shenron. The Dragon Balls appear and activate. Shenron asks what there wish is? Gine asks Shenron to revive All of those who were killed by King Piccolo and his Sons? Shenron grants the wish and leaves. 

At Kame House,everyone (including Tien) is shocked that Krillin,Chiaotzu,and Master Roshi have been brought back to life,as Tien had told them that the Dragon Balls were useless,due to King Piccolo destroying Shenron. Tien figures that Shenron must've been revived somehow.

Everyone is happy that their friends are back. Meanwhile,Kami tells Kakarot that he wants to train him to fight and defeat King Piccolo's Final "Child",who he had just before he died. And adds that Piccolo Jr. will prove to be much much more powerful than his "Father". And since Gine is too reluctant to fight on account that she's too strong for everyone and would prefer a fair fight,Kakarot is his only option.   

Kakarot agrees and is excited at the new training methods he'll have to go through. Gine is happy for her Son and decides to stick around to watch him Evolve as a Fighter.

Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine Vol. 4

Episode 14 -  The Old Fortune-Teller's Tournament

Master Roshi asks Gine about Dr. Gero? Gine tells him that he wasn't here and that they'll need to go after him next time. Kakarot is ready for some grub and then he'll search for the Final Dragon Ball. So,the Dragon team heads out to find the Final Dragon Ball,but after a 2 day search,they come up empty. The last Dragon Ball is impossible to find for unknown reasons. Gine is frustrated,because they need the Balls to revive Bora.

Master Roshi has a solution - His Older Sister,Fortune-Teller Baba. Gine remembers her well. Roshi explains that Baba can help them find the Ball. So,while Bulma,Launch,Puar,and Oolong remain at Kame House, Kakarot,Gine,Master Roshi,Krillin,and Yamcha head to Baba's Palace.

Baba tells Gine and Kakarot that it's nice to see them again asks what they need. Gine explains that they need to find the location of the Final Dragon Ball to revive a friend. Baba understands and for 1 Million Zeni,she'll tell her. Gine tells her that she doesn't have That kind of money. 

Baba thinks and comes up with an alternative - Defeat her 6 Otherworldly Warriors and she'll give them All a free Reading. Gine accepts. Baba leads the team to an Outdoor Arena,where she introduces her 1st warrior - Fangs The Vampire. Master Roshi has Krillin step up first.

Krillin defeats Fangs in 1 hit by unleashing a huge burp in his face. Krillin reveals that he had Pasta with extra Garlic for lunch today. Baba calls Krillin's victory "Dumb Luck" and sends out her next fighter - Wolfang the Wolf Man.

Wolfang was a wild anthropomorphic Wolf,who heavily resembled the "Wolfman". Yamcha is chosen to be the next fighter. Yamcha has a tough time with the Wolf Man,but there is a window for victory. Since Wolfang likes cute women and their cute feet,he is easily distracted by Gine's cute feet. So Yamcha manages to deliver a fierce "Wolf Fang Fist" combo to defeat the Wolf Man.

Baba curses Wolfangs foot fetish and sends out her next Warrior - Swampmore the Creature. Swampmore the Creature was a light blue expy of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon". Yamcha decides to take it on,but Roshi objects,saying that he hasn't been battling in a long time and that he's getting out of practice. 

So it's now Master Roshi vs Swampmore The Creature. Roshi defeats the Creature while he's fighting the urge to kidnap Gine. Baba tells herself that Swampmore needs to be mentally retrained. Roshi tells his sister that that's 3 warriors down and 3 more to go.

Baba tells her "Baby" brother to not be too overconfident,as the next 3 fighters are gonna be Much tougher. She sends out the 4th Warrior - Bandages,the Mummy. Gine wants to fight next and defeats Bandages easily,she even breaks out of his Bandage Binding Move called "Bandage Bondage".

Baba is shocked at Gine's strength and summons Mr. Frank,The Monster. The next warrior was Mr. Frank,who resembled a giant muscly Frankenstein Monster,only with the bolts in his head,instead of his neck. Gine sees the resemblance between Mr. Frank and Eighter right away. 

Gine has some difficulty,due to Mr. Frank's resemblance to her friend Eighter,but manages to knock him out of the ring. Baba declares the match a victory for Gine and introduces her 6th and Final Warrior - Spike the Devilman.  

Kakarot wants to fight next and Gine allows him. Spike promises to end this quickly and fires his "Devilmite Beam" at Goku,knocking him down. Spike tells the the others that "The Kid" was hit by his "Devilmite Beam",an attack that instantly kills those with minds,hearts,and souls tainted by evil.

But Kakarot gets up and complains that the attack stung. Spike is shocked. Baba realizes why the attack was ineffective - Kakarot's Heart,Mind,and Soul are nearly untainted,plus Kakarot himself is stronger than Spike the Devilman. She reveals that the Devilmight Beam is ineffective against 2 types of people - Those Untainted by Evil and Those Who are Stronger than the Beam's User.

Spike materializes a pitchfork and attacks Kakarot,but gets knocked out by a kick. Kakarot wins and asks Baba if she can help them find the Dragon Ball now? Baba chuckles mischievously and tells Kakarot that there is one more opponent that He alone must face. Should he win,she'll keep her promise. 

Baba calls in a Masked and Cloaked Man.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 15 - The Mysterious Invincible 7th Warrior.

The Cloaked and Masked Fighter gets ready for battle. Gine senses something familiar about him. Kakarot attacks,but isn't damaging him. The Mysterious Man knocks Kakarot back and starts his attack. The Battle is completely one-sided,as Kakarot's attacks are doing nothing to the Man,but the Man's attacks are hurting Kakarot. 

Gine begins to worry,but the Masked Man tells her that her Son will be fine and he wasn't using full power. Gine recognizes the Man's voice and begins to wonder if the Man is..?. The Man finishes his beat-down on Kakarot and calls him a disgusting embarrassment to Warriors all over the Galaxy and tells him to fight with Everything he has.

A battle damaged Kakarot attacks again and is beaten down again. He fires a Kamehameha wave,but the Masked Man just harmlessly blocks it with his hand. The Masked man tells Kakarot if he can pull of his mask,he'll admit defeat and reveal Who he is.    

it takes some very hard work,but Kakarot eventually pulls off the Man's Mask.The Man tells the Kid "Well Done!" and pulls back his hood to reveal that he looks like a slightly tanned adult version of Kakarot himself. Gine is overcome with emotion as she says the Man's name - "Bardock!".

Gine tells Kakarot to meet his Father,Bardock. Kakarot asks Bardock if he's Really his Father. Bardock nods and after Gine and Kakarot group hug him,Bardock reveals that he agreed to be Baba's 7th fighter to test Kakarot's fighting abilities,and while Kakarot still has ways to go,he's glad that he kept up with his training. 

Gine and Bardock have a brief (almost one-sided) emotional moment. Bardock tells Kakarot that his time is nearly gone and tells him to get stronger so that he'll actually have a shot of beating strong guys like him. Kakarot promises.

In Pilaf's lap is a small black box,within it is the Final Dragon Ball. Pilaf mentions that the Box blocks out any and all detection devices,so Kakarot and friends have no idea that they have the Ball.

Bora tells Gine that many of Earth's greatest warriors have fought shoeless. As a boon for reviving him,he teaches both Gine and Kakarot how to sense others via their Ki.

After teaching the Saiyan's about sensing ki,Bora tells them about a great mentor that can help them get stronger,The Guardian of this land - Korin. And that to reach Korin,they'll have to climb Korin's Tower. Gine and Kakarot accept that challenge. 

And So,Kakarot and Gine climb Korin Tower,with hopes that Korin can make them stronger. The duo meet Korin and are surprised that he's a Cat. Korin hears that they want to become stronger,but tells them that in order for him to train them,they must pass a few tests.

The first test is to retrieve a small round bell from him.  The Saiyan Duo try to catch the speedy cat and eventually Gine swipes the bell from him.

Korin produces 2 bottle. Korin tells them that each of these bottles contain Sacred Divine Water and depending on the Mortal, can either boost their strength by 10% or painfully poison them for likely an eternity.

Gine is unsure and decides to pass. Kakarot,on the other hand,goes for it,despite his mother's wishes.

After taking a drink, Kakarot isn't poisoned and has his strength boosted. Koin calls Kakarot lucky,while Gine is relieved.

Dr. Gero specialized in Bionic Research,Research that can grant Anyone great abilities by implanting specialized chips in them. During their Senior Year at the University,both Gero and Brief pitched their individual ideas to the Staff for funding.

After hearing both sides,they've decided to fund Dr. Brief,citing that Bionic Implants could prove dangerous to implement into a human,and even then there was no safety guarantee for those who would use them.

Angry beyond belief,Dr. Gero left the University,never to return again. Many years later Dr. Brief and Dr. Gero founded their own competing Companies - Capsule Corp. and Red Ribbon Industries respectively. But when Capsule Corp was outperforming Red Ribbon Industries,a frustrated and angry Dr. Gero set his sights on World Domination.

Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine Vol. 2

Note/Disclaimer: The Universe that this story takes place in,will be a blend of both the Original Continuity and the Newer/Current Continuity. As a result both Super AND a modified version of GT are canon. Though,I'm only going so far as the Buu Saga.  

===================================================== 

Episode 6 - Tournament Training

At Gohan's place,Gohan and Gine are seeing Kakarot off on his journey to train with Master Roshi. carrying a duffel bag with extra clothes and even some lunch Gine prepared for him. Gine tells Kakarot to be safe on his way and not to hurt Master Roshi too bad during training. Kakarot tells her that he won't and to not worry. He then asks Gine if she would like to come and train along side him?

Gine tells Kakarot that she want's to train on her own for now,plus she needs to help Gohan with his business. After a bit more talk,Kakarot heads off to Master Roshi's on the Flying Nimbus. Gine leaves to prepare lunch. As Gine is preparing a meaty lunch,Gohan talks to her about the upcoming 21st Tenkai'ichi Budoukai Tournament and asks if she'd be entering?

Gine says that she definitely will,though she's only entering for the sport of it,and that the cash prize means nothing to her,so she's likely gonna donate it all to the business. She hope there will be enough strong guys to fight,because she doesn't NOT wan to fight any weak challengers,because if she fight's those kinds of fighters,she might end up killing them. And that she refuses to hold back on a Global Stage.

Gohan tells her that that's great to hear and that Kakarot will likely be entering as well,once Master Roshi tells him about it. Gine is glad and hopes her Son's training with the Old Turtle Master goes well and he becomes more powerful and more skilled.

As Gine and Gohan eat lunch,Kakarot arrives at Kame House,Master Roshi's place. There,he meets Krillin,a 13-year-old monk from the Orin Temple,who also seeks Master Roshi's training. Roshi decides to train them both,If and Only If,they find him a pretty young gal to serve as his house keeper.  

Kakarot and Krillin head off on their quest,where they find and meet Launch,a pretty lady with a split personality. Whenever Launch sneezes she goes from sweet and innocent girl to a temperamental,violent,and aggressive badass.    

The duo bring Launch back to Roshi. Roshi,pleased with Launch,decides to train both Kakarot and Krillin. Meanwhile,Gine is training using makeshift weights. Gohan,meanwhile,is tending to his garden. Gohan tells Gine that he knows a great way she can get stronger. Gine is interested and stops weight training.

Gohan takes Gine to an underground bunker behind his house. The bunker contains many tools,books,and other things. Gohan tells Gine that this bunker serves as his storage area,where he puts things he doesn't need. After some rummaging,he finds some stuff to give to Gine. They are a Weighted Backpack (50lbs),and Weighted Wrist and Ankle Bands (both 20lbs each).

Gohan explains that he used these Weighted Items in his youth,but as time went on,he mastered using them and that they became redundant,so he put them in storage. Gine tells Gohan that the Saiyans also used weighted clothing,though she had troubles with it.

Gohan tells Gine to give it another shot. Outside,Gine (who's still barefooted,BTW) puts on the Weighted clothing and restarts her training. Back on Roshi's Island,Kakarot and Krillin are training under Roshi,who has them wear Weighted Turtle Shells (2-tons each). As part of the training the duo must find a marked rock,deliver milk,help farm,and swim 15 laps across a pond,all while wearing those heavy shells.

During training,Kakarot and Krillin become equals and soon buddies. The Weight Training does wonders for Gine,Kakarot and Krillin. After a few months,everyone is much stronger and are ready for the Tournament.

The day of the Tournament Arrives on Papaya Island. Kakarot reunites with both Yamcha and Gine,who he introduces Krillin too. Krillin thinks Gine is cute and asks Kakarot why she's barefoot? Kakarot tells him that it's her preferred style of fighting and living.

Bulma,Puar,Oolong,Launch,and Gohan are there too,but as spectators. Master Roshi enters himself as Jackie Chun,for reasons that will be explained later.

Yamcha,Gine,Jackie Chun,Kakarot,and Krillin all make it past the preliminaries with little to no trouble. The Other 3 winners are - Nam,the head of a poor South-Eastern village,who has entered the tournament to get money for water; Giran,an Anthropomorphic Dinosaur who just loves to beat people up; and The Masked Sumorai,a masked Sumo Wrestler,with a Samurai motif (this is an early-bird appearance by yajirobe).

For the 3rd match,Gine defeats Nam. Nam is saddened that he now has to go back to his people empty handed,after explaining his situation to Gine,she leads him to a Well,where he can get all the water he wants. She even gives him a Capsule Tank (a dynocap that can turn into a tank for holding various liquids)to put it all in. Nam thanks Gine for her kindness,but Gine says that she's just happy to help.

In the 4th Match,Kakarot defeats Giran via surrender,when the Saiyan boy breaks out of his 'Merry-Go-Round Gum' trap. 

Jackie Chun hits on Gine and even offers to rub her feet and legs after her fights. Gine has none of it and pushes Chun far away from her,causing him to hit the wall. She then confronts him and tells him that she knows that he's Master Roshi and asks about the disguise?

Jackie Chun tells her his intentions to teach them some humility and to get them to continue training after beating them,to show them that there are still stronger warriors out there to surpass and new techniques to be learned.and Gine thinks it's noble.

The announcer announces that next Round of the Tournament will begin soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Ball - Legacy Of Gine Vol. 1

Note/Disclaimer: The Universe that this story takes place in,will be a blend of both the Original Continuity and the Newer/Current Continuity. As a result both Super AND a modified version of GT are canon. Though,I'm only going so far as the Buu Saga.  

=====================================================

Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine 

Episode 1 - The Rogue Saiyans Who Came To Earth.

Deep in space,on Planet Vegeta,A mother is watching her infant child be prepped for a journey to Planet Earth by low ranking members of the Frieza Force. His name is Kakarot and his purpose is to decimate the populace and make the World suitable for Sale for the Planet Trade.

The Mother,Gine,doesn't like this at all. Unlike most Saiyan's,Gine doesn't have any battle lust and doesn't like to kill or conquer. Though,she does like a good friendly fight. Gine is also way more sensible and less temperamental than other Saiyans as well. She's also much nicer.

One of a Saiyan's most defining physical traits is that they have Tails. Tails that allow them to transform into a Giant Alien Chimpanzee during a Full Moon. Gine is no different.

Gine is wearing her Saiyan Armor,while Kakarot is just in diapers. 

As Kakarot is put into his Space Pod,Gine volunteers to go with her son,but lies and tells the Frieza Force Goons that she wants to make sure that he does the job. The Frieza Force Stooges decide to let Gine go to Earth with her Son. The reality is,Gine wanted to go with Kakarot to keep him from causing trouble.

And so 2 Space Pods leave Planet Vegeta,as it's about to explode. Gine morns the loss of her Husband,Bardock,who went to challenge Frieza,the Warlord who runs the Planet Trade. She's also hopes that her eldest child,Raditz is still ok.

Gine and Kakarot eventually Crash land on Earth. More specifically,Mount Paozu. They are found by an old man named,Gohan Son. Gohan meets the duo in and takes them to his house to get more acquainted with the new visitors. At Gohan's home,Gine tells him that she and Kakarot are Saiyan's,a Warrior Race from the Planet Vegeta- A World that was recently destroyed. Gine reveals that she and Kakarot were originally sent to Earth to exterminate it's people and prepare it for sale,however she chooses not to,as she's against death,destruction,and domination - unlike most Saiyans.

Gohan,being Gohan,decides to let them live with him for a while and even decides to train them. Gine warns Gohan that in the light of the full moon the Saiyans can transform into an Oozaru,a Giant Chimp with loads of destructive power and that it's all thanks in part to their tails.

Gohan understands and will try to warn them when the Full Moon appears. But Gine,has a slightly more extreme idea - Even though she hates mutilation,including self-mutilation,Gine decides that it would be best for the safety of this World if both She and Kakarot have their tails removed.

Gohan is shocked and begs her to reconsider,but Gine is adamant. Even though removing ones tail is considered to be both sacrilegious and blasphemous to Saiyans,She wants to live a peaceful life on Earth and worrying about a Full Moon would just prevent her from enjoying life. Gohan reluctantly agrees,but believes there might just be a way to permanently remove their tails,without using gory means.

Gohan tells Gine about Fortuneteller Baba,a master of fortunetelling and magic,and that she can use her magic to remove their tails. Gine likes the idea and asks where to find Baba. Gohan tells her that she'll take her to her in the morning and that for now,they should all get something to eat and then some rest,since it's been a long day.

At dinner time Gohan is astonished at Gine and Kakarot's great eating habits,consuming almost everything that's on the table in record time. Kakarot is drinking milk,not eating,but he consumes that quickly and eventually tires out after his 6th bottle.

Gine reveals that Saiyans have massive appetites,though that the Males of the species are much more ravenous. Gohan is still surprised that a pretty woman like Gine and a cute baby like Kakarot could eat so much.He's gonna have go food shopping soon.

The next day,the 3 are about to head out to Baba's. Gohan asks Gine if she really intends to go through with this? Gine tells Gohan that she'd rather live live not worrying about transforming into an Oozaru,so yes.

The trio leave for Baba's in Gohan's hover craft. Gine and Kakarot are both amazed at the vehicle. Gohan tells Gine that the hover craft is one of the many ways Earthlings travel. He then tells Gine that he'll teach her more about this Beautiful Planet soon enough.

After a half-hour,the heroes reach Baba's Palace in the middle of an oasis. There they meet Fortune Teller Baba,who Gohan called last night to explain the situation and that she has heavy Otherworld connections,knows about the Saiyans. Baba tells Gine that she can easily remove her tail,as well as her child's.

Gine wonders how.? Baba tells Gine that with a special magical item. She snaps her fingers and a Magical Hand appears. Baba explains that this "Magic Hand" will pull the tails right off of them,simple as that. Gine grows a bit nervous and asks if this will hurt. Kakarot is worried too. Baba tells her that the operation will be quick,painless and bloodless. She also tells Gine that it will permanently remove her tail.

Gine is ready and reassures her son that it's for the best. The Magic Hand grabs on to Gine's tail,weakening her a bit,infuses it with magical energy and pulls it off quickly. The now tailess Gine has a bit trouble with her balance at first,due to losing her tail,but eventually manages to get herself together.

Kakarot is next and,despite some crying,the Hand pulls off his tail quickly and painlessly. Gine thanks Baba for her assist. Baba tells Gine to enjoy life on earth and reminds Gohan about her Payment,after all her services aren't free. Gohan tells Baba that he hasn't forgotten. So he takes out a bag of Zenny from his pocket and gives it to Baba.

Baba thanks Gohan and tells him to come by anytime he wants to do business. With that,the trio say good-bye to the Fortuneteller/Witch and head back to Mount Paozu. Gine is now ready to start her new life on earth.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Episode 2 - Saiyan Girl Meets Earth World.

The next day,Gohan takes Gine and Kakarot to South City to get some more Earth experience. Plus,he needs to pick up some food - lots of food,as well as sell his Vegetables. Y'see,Gohan is a farmer and makes his money selling Vegetables and Fruits that he makes to merchants.

Gine is in awe of her new surroundings and tells Gohan that Cities on Vegeta were never this big or extravagant. Gohan tells Gine that this is just the tip of the iceburg and that Earth has lots of big cities like this one. And that Earth is one of the most diverse Planets in the Universe,being home to multiple different species.

After doing a little sight seeing,Gohan takes Gine and Kakarot into the Shopping Center to get groceries and to sell his Vegetables. Gine is amazed at the variety of food in the store,as Planet Vegeta never had too much variety of of food - just Meats,Fruits,Vegatables,and Wine.    

After buying what they need and after Gohan makes his sale,they jump back into Gohan's hover craft and head back home. When they arrive home they see it being robbed and looted by a gang of 4 Bear Thieves (anthropomorphic bears). One is a Grizzly,One is a Polar,One is a Japanese Ring,and the other is a Black.

The robbers are about to get away,but are stopped by Gine,who lectures them a bit about stealing. As the robbers go to attack Gine,she knocks them all out with ease. Gine then tosses them far away without their stolen goods. Gohan is impressed by her strength. He's also surprised that she can fly. Kakarot,on the other hand,likes what he just saw,cheering his mother on.

Gohan is so impressed by Gine's abilities,that he offers to Train her tomorrow and Kakarot,when he gets older. Both Gine and Kakarot are happy. Gine wants to become a better fighter and get stronger,so does Kakarot.

The next morning,training day begins. Outside his home,Gohan waiting for Gine,ready to teach her Martial Arts. Gine comes out carring Kakarot,wearing a Green Gi with White Belt and Blue Wrist Bands. One thing missing from the outfit are the shoes,so Gine is barefooted.

Gohan asks Gine where her shoes are? Gine tells Gohan that they didn't fit quite right,so she's gonna train barefoot. Gohan opts to get her new shoes after this training session,but Gine tells him that there's no need and that she enjoys being barefoot and that on Planet Vegeta she use to go barefoot all of the time during her leisurely hours. 

Gohan chuckles and tells her that fighting barefoot sometimes has it's benefits. Gine knows. After putting Kakarot down on a bench to watch,Gine tells Gohan that she's ready. The 2 get into fighting stances,with Kakarot watching. Gohan strikes first,with Gine fighting defensively.  Gohan tells Gine that fighting defensively alone won't cut it and that she must fight offensively too.

Gine begins to fight back,but pulls her punches as to not to hurt Gohan. Little Kakarot is enjoying this sparring session between his mother and Gohan. The sparring session lasts for hours. Kakarot eventually falls asleep. 

After their sparing session,Gohan and Gine take a small lunch break. A meaty lunch that Gine has made. Kakarot is drinking milk from a huge bottle. Gohan complements Gine on her skills and tells her that she'll be an excellent martial artist yet. The Saiyan Woman thanks Gohan,but tells him that even though she's decent at fighting,she's too weak to be effective - at least,weak by Saiyan standards. 

Gohan tells Gine that even the weakest being can achieve great strength with enough hard work. He then complements Gine on her cooking. Gine tells Gohan that,while she was considered one of the weakest warriors on Planet Vegeta,she was the Planet's 5th greatest cook. 

Gohan tells Gine that it shows. Gine is happy. Gohan asks Gine if she's sure she doesn't want him to get her shoes? But Gine tells him that she's quite comfortable being barefoot and has decided to live life barefoot - at least,for the most part. She'll wear shoes whenever needed,such as when she's out doing things in the City. She also mentions that,aside from comfort,being barefoot is an efficient way to fight.

Gohan agrees and tells her that many Earth Fighters Fight barefoot,though he hasn't seen many barefoot lady fighters. Gine smiles and tells Gohan that once they finish lunch,She's ready for the next part of the training.

For the next part,Gine demonstrates her ability to shoot Ki,a basic skill that all saiyans learn how to do at an early age. She decides to teach Gohan the technique. And after some time,Gohan is able to shoot Ki as well.

As the months go by,Gine improves as a fighter and gets stronger,thanks to Gohan's training. She even learns how to improve herself mentally by meditation. Gine,in return for Gohan's kindness,teaches him how to fly. Kakarot is showing interest in martial arts and playfully mimics the moves of the adults,who get a good chuckle out of his antics.

Gine learns more things about the Earth and even visits various Cities from time to time to shop and to take in the sights. Gine also buys some Earth clothes,meets other people,and beat-up on brutish city men who hit on her.    

Gine is fully adjusting to Earth life and Gohan's kindness has fully rubbed off on Kakarot. When the child is older,Gohan will be teaching him martial arts.

Gohan,Gine,and Kakarot are taking a nice walk in the woods. Gine,barefooted,likes how the ground feels underneath her soles and tells Gohan that she should take relaxing walks like this often. Gohan asks if She's sure she's ok walking barefoot in the woods and that the terrain could get dangerous for unprotected feet.

Gine tells him not to worry and that Saiyan feet are very tough. As a side note,despite Gine going barefoot most of the time,her feet retain their pretty shape. Sure they may get a bit dirty from time to time,but they will always remain pretty. Pretty and tough to damage.

Soon the trio discover a small Orange Orb with 4 Red Stars on it. 

Gine wonders what it is. Gohan tells Gine that he's unsure,but would like to take it with him to find out. And so Gohan takes the Orb and the trio continue with their walk. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Episode 3 -  Prelude To Adventure

Years pass and Gine has mastered the martial arts,as well as gotten very strong. In fact,Gine is much more powerful than she was on Vegeta and is the strongest on Earth. By the age of 5,Kakarot begins his training with Gohan.

Kakarot turns out to be a prodigy at fighting,mastering the basic moves at an early age. He even learns how to shoot Ki. Gine figures out how to shoot Ki through her bare feet. Both Saiyan Mother and Son become Stronger and more skilled together. 

5 years later,Gohan reveals that it's time that Gine and Kakarot to learn the Kamesen'nen-style's Ultimate Move - The Kamehameha Wave (Turtle Devastation Wave). Gine and Kakarot are both ready. Gohan demonstrates the move and Gine and Kakarot preform it near-perfectly on their first try.

Gohan is amazed at the Saiyans ability to quickly learn skills. Gine comes up with her own special Technique - The Volley Buster,an energy ball that bounces off of and damages all that it hits. Can be treated like a volley ball. Will loose power and shring after every strike until it dissipates.

As Kakarot grows,so does his appetite. The food bill for Gohan is astronomical. Thankfully,He has a small solution to this. He takes Gine and Kakarot to the lake and teaches them how to fish. Gine and Gohan use a pole,but Kakarot has a better way. He dives into the water and catches the fish with his bare hands. Gohan laughs and tells Kakarot that that's one way to fish.

The next day,Gohan takes Gine and Kakarot deep in the woods for some hunting. Gine mentions that on Vegeta it was the Higher Class' duty to hunt for food,while the Lower Class Saiyans would prepare it. Gohan demonstrates his way of hunting by killing a wild hog with a chop. Gine sees a deer and delivers a small chop to it,killing it. Gine says that Hunting is easy.

Kakarot wants burgers,but can't seem to find any cows around. Gohan tells Kakarot that cows and bulls don't live in the woods and can only be purchased at farms. Kakarot asks if they can to order take-out? Gine tells him that they'll see.

The next day,Gohan shows the Saiyans how to farm. Gine gets the hang of it quickly,but Kakarot finds it boring and refuses to farm for now. Kakarot wants to spar some more. Gine agrees to spar with her son.

During the session,Kakarot would sneak in a few tickles to Gine's feet,which were pretty ticklish.

The night later,Gine decides that it's time to tell Kakarot the truth about where he came from. She tells Kakarot about their Saiyan heritage and his father,her husband,Bardock. Gine explains that Bardock was a proud man,who valued Saiyan Freedom and Independence. 

Kakarot thinks the Saiyans are cool,but changes his mind when Gine tells him about how ruthless and cruel the Warrior Race can be. She also neglects to tell him about Frieza and the fact that he blew-up their homeworld,fearing that he's still too young to hear that part of their history.

Though she Does tell them about a Saiyan's tail and the horrible transformation tailed Saiyan's can undergo when they look at the full moon. So she reveals that she had their tails removed,so that transformation can never happen.

Gine tells Kakarot to keep their heritage a secret,so that the Earthlings don't freak out. Kakarot agrees. On Kakarot's 10th birthday,Gohan gifts Kakarot with his Power Pole.

2 years have past and Gine and Kakarot have greatly improved in not only fighting,but also farming,hunting,and fishing. Little do they know,that a whole new adventure is about to begin for them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 4 - The Great Dragon Ball Adventure 

A 17-Year-Old girl named Bulma is traveling up to Mount Paozu (mainly Gohan's house) in a car. She takes a look at a compass-like device and says that the "Ball" is close by.

As she is looking at her device,she crashes into Kakarot,who was carrying a fish home. Luckily Kakarot is ok and blasts Bulma for driving carelessly. Bulma apologies and asks Kakarot if he's alright? Kakarot tells her yeah and asks what was with the crazy driving?

Bulma tells Kakarot that she was looking at her "Dragon Radar"for a Dragon Ball. Kakarot asks what that is? So Bulma takes out one of 2 Dragon Balls that she found near West City. Kakarot recognizes the ball as the same one he and his Mom found years ago,except Bulma's has 1 star on it.

Bulma tells him that she has another one with 7 stars. She asks Kakarot to take her to His Dragon Ball. Not wanting to seem impolite,Kakarot agrees. After introducing themselves to one another,the 2 head off to Gohan's house.

Note: Because Kakarot is primarily raised by Gine,He's not only a bit smarter than Goku,but he's also a bit more responsible too. Gohan still being alive also had something to do with it.

Bulma explains the Dragon Balls to Gine,Gohan,and Kakarot. Telling them that whoever gets all 7 Ball can summon Shenron,the Eternal Dragon for a single wish.Gohan has heard of the Dragon Ball legends,but never even considered believing them. Gine thinks this is terrific and that she can wish to bring her Husband,Bardock back to life.

Bulma tells Gine that she could next time and that She's gonna be making a wish this time. Gohan gives Bulma the ball,but claims that her Dragon Ball hunt might be a dangerous one,so he decides that Gine and Kakarot will go with her for protection. Bulma declines,but after seeing a demonstration of both Kakarot and Gine's fighting skill and strength,she quickly changes her mind.

Gohan decides to stay behind and continue his day-to-day operations as a farmer.  Bulma questions why Gine is barefoot. Gine tells her that she goes barefoot out of comfort and that it allows her to fight more efficiently. Kakarot still thinks it's odd,but has grown used to it.

Gohan wishes them luck as they ride away in Bulma's car. Since the next Ball is located a good while from where they are,they're gonna have to make camp for the night. Bulma takes out a capsule and throws it,in a puff of smoke it turns into a small Capsule House. Both Gine and Kakarot are impressed and Gine simply forgot that Capsule Corp made those types of things.

The next day,as the Trio continue with their quest. Bulma reveals,when asked by Gine,that her wish to Shenron is to have the ultimate boyfriend. On their way,they meet a stranded Turtle,who's being terrorized by 2 Jaguar Thugs (who are anthropomorphic jaguars) in the fields.  The Jaguars want to eat him up.

Gine and Goku beat the Jaguar Thugs up after failing to reason with them. The Turtle is saved. When asked,the Turtle,named Turtle,explains that the was caught in a mini-tsunami and thrown out of the sea and onto the land. And that he's been trying to get back to the beach for days now.

Gine tells Turtle that they'll help him get back home. For the first time,Gine demonstrates her ability to fly in front of Bulma. Bulma is amazed. Kakarot reveals that he can fly as well,but reveals that flying takes energy,so that they'll just use vehicles for now.

Our heroes make it to the beach and as a "Thank You",Turtle tells them that he has someone for them to meet and that to wait for him. Turtle returns to the sea and swims away. Gine is enjoying the sand under her bare feet.

Hours later,he comes back with an Old Man riding him. The Old Man is wearing a Dragon Ball around his neck. Turtle introduces the Old Man as Master Roshi. Kakarot is so excited to finally meet Roshi,as not only is he a Legendary Martial Arts Master,but also the one who trained Gohan.

Roshi tells Kakarot that he's heard a lot of great things from Gohan about him and Gine and as a reward for rescuing his friend. He gifts Kakarot with the Flying Nimbus. Yeah,Kakarot can fly,but like he said,it uses up energy.

Roshi explains that only the pure of heart can ride the Nimbus. Gine and Kakarot get on it and are able to both ride it. Bulma tries to,but falls through it.  

Roshi tries to hit on Gine,who he find's pretty,but the Saiyan Woman rejects him by swatting him away - far. Roshi impressed by Gine's strength challenges her to a little sparring match. Bulma sees that Roshi is wearing a Dragon Ball around his neck and asks if she can have it? 

Roshi agrees,but only if Gine defeats him. Well,Gine defeats Roshi. She even pulls her punches so that she doesn't hurt the old man. Roshi gives Bulma the Dragon Ball and tries to hit on her too,but is comically slapped back by the bluenette.The almoas always perverted,Master Roshi offers Gine a foot massage and states that he's really good at giving one,but she declines and says saving Turtle was the right thing to do and that shes satisfied with that.

After saying their good-byes,the Heroes and Roshi go their separate ways. The Dragon Ball that Bulma got from Roshi is the 2-Star Ball. Gine brushes the sand off of her feet and leaves with the others.

The Heroes next stop is a village being terrorized by a Devil Pig called Oolong,who wants to kidnap the beautiful women and girls of the village to form a harem. Gine tries to reason with Oolong,but Oolong thinks Gine is pretty and intends to add her to his harem. Gine knocks him out in one kick. Oolong then transforms into a smaller,non-threating,almost normal looking version of himself. This is his true form.

Oolong begs for mercy and promises never to do bad things ever again. Oolong,in reality,is a little coward. As a reward for defeating Oolong,the villagers reward the heroes with a Dragon Ball,the 6-Star Ball. 

Gine takes pity on Oolong and decides to take him with them,just to keep him out of trouble. Bulma thinks Oolong's shape-shifting ability could come in handy. Meanwhile,in the snow caps,a Beautiful Woman (Mai) and a Ninja Dog (Shu) have found a Dragon Ball,the 3-Star Ball.

Mai contacts their boss,the diminutive Goblin known as Emperor Pilaf,telling him that they've secured the 1st Dragon Ball. Pilaf tells them to find the rest. Shu and Mai head out to search for the rest of the Dragon Balls. Pilaf was once the ruler of Goblin Village,but was kicked out of power when the villagers wanted to be ruled democratically. Pilaf refused such a thing and was exiled for it. Pilaf vowed to get revenge by becoming Supreme Ruler of the World,which is his wish for Shenron.

Later,the heroes cross a desert,where their car runs out of gas. Luckily,Bulma has some extra. As Bulma is refilling the car,Kakarot decides to explore the desert,Gine warns him not to stray too far. She also feels the hot sand beween her bare feet. Because her feet are tough,the hot sand is just warm and She thinks it's kinda relaxing.

Kakarot encounters a strong desert bandit called Yamcha,who,along with his small cat friend,Puar,demands his valuables. Kakarot refuses and readies his Power Pole,as Yamcha unsheeths his sword,ready to battle.

Oolong arrives to see what's going on,Puar recognizes Oolong as the one who bullied her in "Henshin School" and reveals that he was kicked out for his perverted ways. Yamcha decides to turn Oolong into a Sausage and Bacon sandwich for what he did to Puar. 

Just as the fight is about to begin,Gine and Bulma arrive to tell Kakarot and Oolong,that the car has been refueled. The sight of the ladies makes Yamcha nervous and retreats as a result. The heroes talk about where the next Dragon Ball is,unaware that Yamcha hasn't really retreated,but is spying on them from afar.

Yamcha and Puar overhear every word and Yamcha wants to steal the Dragon Balls from the Heroes once they collect all 7 and then he will Wish his Shyness around Women away. As the heroes cross the desert,Yamcha and Puar quietly follow on a motor bike.

The next stop is Fry-Pan Mountain,where the Ox King lives. That's where the next Dragon Ball is. Once there they get attacked by the Ox King,who don't take too kindly to trespassers. Gine manages to calm the Ox King down and explains who they are and what they are doing here.

Ox King tells them that the Dragon Ball is in the basement of his castle,but it's been engulfed in un-extiguishable flames for 2 days and that the only way to blow them out is with the Bancho Fan,but Master Roshi is the only one he knows that has one and since his phone is in the Castle,he's unable to contact the Turtle Hermit. 

Kakarot volunteers to get the fan from Roshi. Ox King thanks him and asks for an additional favor - find his daughter Chi-Chi,who he sent to find Master Roshi,but never returned. After showing a picture of Chi Chi to Kakarot,the Saiyan Boy leaves for his mission on the Flying Nimbus.

Kakarot finds Chi Chi and rescues her from a pack of Dinosaurs.  The 2 formally meet on the way to Master Roshi's place. Once there,they ask Roshi about the Bancho Fan? Roshi tries to find the Fan,but fails. Turtle tells Roshi that he used it as a place mat and spilled coffee over it a few years back,so he threw it out. 

Thankfully,Roshi has another idea. Kakarot and Chi Chi return to the Ox King with Roshi (who's riding a flying turtle called gamera). Ox King is relieved that his only child is alright and he's really excited to see his old Master and begs him for help. 

Master Roshi decides to use the Kamekazeha (Turtle Wind Wave) - a move like the Kamehameha,but instead of a powerful energy blast,it produces a powerful blast of wind. Roshi bulks up and does the move. The powerful wind puts out the fires,but the damage had already been done and the castle is burned down.

Bulma searches the remains of the castle and finds the 5-star ball.Gine was impressed by the Kamekazeha,she decides to try it herself. And sure enough,she gets it in one try,though it's not as strong as Roshi's.

Master Roshi is impressed with Gine's learning ability and offers to train her personally. Gine declines,but does ask if he would train her son,Kakarot instead. Roshi tells her that he'd consider it. Chi Chi and Kakarot have a nice conversation and promise to meet again.

The heroes leave,with only 1 Dragon Ball left to find. Yamcha and Puar follow.

Gine and Kakarot look at Shenron and are amazed. Shenron asks them for a wish? Gine asks Shenron gto revive her Husband,Bardock. Shenron tells Gine that he can't grant that wish,because Bardock died a Decade ago,and he can only revive someone who has died within a Years time.

Gine is disappointed,Kakarot asks Shenron to teleport Bulma,Yamcha,and Puar to them. Shenron grants the wish and suddenly,Bulma (still barefoot),Yamcha,and Puar appear before them.
