Chapter 2 - Shadows of the Past






It had been a year since the space capsule landed on board with Ice. Bulma had examined the capsule and her suspicions about the cold sleep system had been confirmed. So he had really been on the road for 50 years ... What Bulma found strange, however, was the fact that the capsule had already been opened. And by force ...


ChiChi had, of course, insisted that Ice go to school. At first it was anything but easy for him, he really didn't look like a normal person and sayings like 'tailed amphibian' were the usual ... But when a few boys from the fourth grade took it too far and beat him up wanted, Trunks and Goten stood up for him. With the result that afterwards nobody dared to look at Ice any more ... and Trunks and Goten had to be detained. That didn't bother Goku and Vegeta too much, on the contrary, they were actually proud of their sons ... Son Goku, because Goten had campaigned for a good cause ... And Vegeta, because his son showed his belligerence.Well, everyone has their own ideals ... Only ChiChi and Bulma, of course, were of a completely different opinion ... And now, almost exactly a year later, the three were already in the second grade. It was Friday afternoon, school finished ... Trunks, Goten and Ice stormed out of the school. "Hey Ice! You know what? Our dad is training with Trunks' father again today ... If we hurry up we can watch them both for a while!" - "How? Our fathers?" Trunks was visibly surprised. "Now I realize why father wasn't in G-room this morning ... Is your mother not there?" Goten and Ice had to grin ... "Guess what!" then they both said as if from one mouth. "Well not ..." Trunks stated. But that was already clear to him the moment Goten said that their fathers would train together. That was only possible when ChiChi was not at home ... She still hadn't forgotten the thing with the tomatoes. "We fly?" Ice asked "Of course!" Then the three of them put down a film tire rocket launch and 10 minutes later they were at the house of Goku and his family."Man, we should fly every day, we're much faster there!" - "That won't work Goten. If mother is there ..." - "I know Ice, unfortunately ... Come on, let's bring the things into the house , and then we'll look for our fathers! "No sooner said than done ... It really wasn't difficult to find Goku and Vegeta. Even if you couldn't feel any auras ... Wherever there was the loudest crash, they were definitely to be found. Trunks and Goten were already used to the fights of the two, but Ice had not yet had the opportunity to see one, so he was shocked accordingly now ... Ice couldn't believe it ... What happened then, if the two fought right ?! He had already thought his real father, Freezer, was strong ... And he also knew that Goku was very strong ... But this one, unbelievable! "Warning, Ice! Dodge!" Trunks suddenly shouted. Ice just managed to jump to the side before Vegeta crashed to the ground. Where Ice had been standing the whole time ... "Hi guys ... We haven't noticed you guys yet!Sorry, Ice ... "Son-Goku was pretty out of breath. Vegeta too, but that didn't stop him from making a snappy comment before he went back to the fight." Unfortunately, Kakarott didn't aim better ... Otherwise it would be I at least landed ON YOU, then the crash landing would have been good too! "It was more than clear that he still didn't like Ice ... On the contrary, he would rather finish him off today than tomorrow. But now there was more important ... His fight against Kakarott! He raced towards Son-Goku He was still floating a few meters above the ground ... He was really exhausted, Vegeta had gotten a lot better since their last fight. Not stronger, but better ... He had refined his technique even more, and he was still Goku was really surprised, maybe Vegeta would even win this time ... He got into position to fend off Vegeta's attack. But ... What was that ?! Vegeta was out of sight!Son-Goku concentrated on feeling his aura ... It took a little moment, but then he could feel him clearly ... Vegeta was behind him! Goku turned quickly and struck luck. He knew that Vegeta was there, he just didn't know where he would meet him ... Now Vegeta could be seen again. Goku's punch had hit him in the stomach. He gasped, and for a brief moment he was paralyzed ... Enough time for his opponent to launch his own attack ... Goku's attack hit his back. Now Vegeta was finally breathless and he was forced to land. It went on like this for a long time, of course neither of them wanted to give up. As always ... When it got dark, however, they broke off the fight. Not because of the darkness, but because of Bulma and ChiChi ... The two of them would complain anyway because they had fought again, and if the children came home so late, the house blessing would be definitely wrong.Son-Goku in particular was afraid of his wife's moods ... "Hey Vegeta ... Come over to me for a moment!" - "Why should I, Kakarott ?!" - "I still have a few magic beans. .. I thought you might need one ... "Vegeta didn't like to admit it, but Kakarott was right ... Because as it was now about his energy level, he would go home instead of the usual 30 minutes definitely need three hours. However, the thought of meeting ChiChi almost certainly did not fill him with anticipation ... And his concerns were justified, because ChiChi was once again in a good mood. "Have you fought each other again? And the children also watched ?! How are they supposed to learn something sensible! Besides, dinner has been cold for a long time! ..." And so on, and so on ... Knows one yes. Although ... As for dinner, Goku even agreed with her ... Since Gohan had left home, her grumbling had actually gotten worse.Gohan moved into an apartment with Videl two weeks ago. The two wanted to get married soon, and so they had already decided to move in together. As a dress rehearsal, so to speak, and so that you don't have the double stress afterwards ... Wedding and relocation. Kuririn had, however, expressed the assumption that ChiChi and Videl's father Mister Satan were more likely the reason for this ... In some respects the two were frighteningly similar. Both were incorrigible chicks, constantly worried about their children for no reason ... Son-Goku wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it either ... His son, that 'coward', left him alone with ChiChi! And this time Vegeta also got a full load of ChiChi's 'kindness'. "Just bring the bean quickly, Kakarott! And tell your wife that she should finally shut up!" - "The former is no problem. Here, go! But I have been trying the latter for a good 20 years!"Vegeta had to grin. Outwardly he tried to make a superior impression, but he knew the quirks of women all too well ... It was only this morning that Bulma had driven him crazy again. for hours in the bathroom. Then she actually devoured a jam sandwich with pickled cucumbers for breakfast (at the sight his own breakfast almost got stuck in his throat ...) and then she ran to the doctor ... She's crazy! She said goodbye to him, 'If I'm right, then I've got a great surprise for you tonight!' Thanks, he could do without surprises! He quickly chewed the bean and swallowed ... the sooner he got out of here so better! "See you soon, Kakarott!" he said while he was on the way to the door. He kicked Ice, who was standing in the middle of the room, with intent on the tail. Ice began to cry, and the one thrown by ChiChi Saucepan crashed against the door that Vegeta had quickly closed behind her.Vegeta grinned ... Outside Trunks was waiting for him. "Take it easy, boy! Otherwise your mother will freak out again ..." They flew off together and Trunks wondered why his father was in a relatively good mood despite the fact that he hadn't won the fight ... He had no idea that the Ice's Tail was responsible. They finally arrived at Capsule Corp. quite late. an ... Trunks had his school bag with him and lost some books on the way. So Vegeta was about to explode again ... It had taken almost an hour to find the books that had fallen from a great height. The two went into the living room, where Bulma was sitting in an armchair reading a magazine ... So she had been waiting for him. She would probably give him a lecture about punctuality (because he came so late ...) and a sense of responsibility (because Trunks was out with him so late ...). But when she put the newspaper down, she said, to his surprise, only "Trunks my darling, go to bed right away, it's getting late.Vegeta ... I want to talk to you. "Aha ... the lecture came later. Great, he was exactly in the right mood to let the woman shit on him ... Trunks pouted upstairs. How unfair, whenever it got funny he had to leave .." Really mean! When Bulma turned to Vegeta after the little discussion about 'going to bed', all the alarm bells rang for him ... Somehow he didn't like her expression at all. She smiled dreamily, almost absently ... "Vegeta ... I have something really great to tell you! I'm pregnant again ... "Batsch! Vegeta made a face as if someone had slapped him a wet towel in the middle ..." Huh? What do you mean 'pregnant'? "-" Are you so stupid, or are you just pretending ?! "Bulma was slightly angry." How do you talk to me, woman? Tell me immediately what that means or ... "-" Juchuhhh! "The scream came from above and Vegeta spun around. Trunks was standing on the stairs, he had secretly overheard her and obviously knew what his mother meant by that."You obviously really don't know what that means, do you?" Bulma smiled ... "We're having another baby, Vegeta!" Uh ... I beg your pardon ?! Another brat? Vegeta thought with horror of the time when Trunks was even smaller ... Not all the theater again! He had missed the most interesting part, Bulma's pregnancy and the birth ... Back then he had been traveling with the capsule ... Bulma was exhausting under normal circumstances, but she was a nuisance when pregnant!
