Chapter One: Incentives

Chapter One: Incentives

You open your eyes to a scene you recognized from the scroll. You were now stood in a grassy area next to a huge crater, but there was barely any time to take in the setting as events began to unfold.

The man in the orange gi - Goku, you thought was his name - was on the ground, clearly injured with the other man - who from what Trunks said you guessed was Raditz - stood above him about to finish him.

It was then that you noticed the tail wrapped around the armoured man's waist. 'Heck, a monkey? I thought they were all dead by now.' you pondered, recalling how you were told their planet had been destroyed many, many years ago before you were hatched. 'Oh wait time travel... right.'

A young boy in a yellow and green outfit suddenly broke free of the space pod within the crater, yelled at Radditz to leave his father alone, and proceeded to charge at him. This much you recalled from the scroll you watched, the young boys power was surprising, it however was useless as the long haired man dodged his assault before turning to attack.

"No!" Shouted Goku, unable to act fast enough.

You figured now was the time for you to do something and quickly jumped into action, shielding the defenceless child from the saiyans attack, the dust cleared to reveal you stood there, the young boy - Gohan - completely unharmed, a look of relief and surprise evident on his father's face.

"W-who's that?" Asked the namekian - Piccolo. "Someone you know, Goku?"

"No..." Said Goku struggling to his feet, now free. "But I'm pretty sure it's someone we can trust." He readied himself to fight, the namekian following suit. He may have had no idea who or what you were but you HAD saved his sons life, that was a good sign, right?

Raditz's expression held a mixture of annoyance and fear at your intrusion. "Y-you're one of Frieza's crew! W-what are you doing here?" He questioned.

"I have no idea who that is hedgie, can we just get this over with so I can go home?" You asked, your tone perhaps somewhat whiny.

Raditz groaned a little at your nickname then, wasting no more time, leapt into the air and fired ki blasts at the three of you. You avoided the attack, jumping back and countering with your own (k/c) blast. It was three on one, hardly fair - or fun - you thought, still your companions were both already weakened from fighting.

Your saiyan opponent attempted to take out the weaker members of your team first, you however, quickly get in the way, forcing him to engage you in close combat. You effortlessly evade rapid kicks and punches, while grinning at his attempts, the monkey may have been physically stronger then you, but your speed was definitely superior. You see an opening and counter with a ki charged punch followed by a sweeping kick to his face.

The saiyan reels from your assault before recovering and wiping the red blood from his lips, he growls and prepares a pink coloured sphere of ki in his left hand, smirking he tosses it at you. You foolishly allow the attack to hit you, thinking you could block it with ease; you were completely unprepared for the sharp jolt that spread through your body on impact, stunning you.

The saiyan took his chance to exploit your defencelessness charging a ki beam in both his palms, fortunately before he could unleash the attack Goku appeared behind him and grabbed his tail, the effect this had on him seemed much the same as your current stun.

"Do it now!" The man in orange yelled, struggling to restrain Radditz.

"Special beam cannon!" Yelled Piccolo, causing you to raise an eyebrow ridge quizzically - some people named their attacks such strange things. A spiral-like beam of purple ki shot from the namekians fingers, piercing Radditz and Goku though the chest.

You gasped; Trunks told you to keep that guy alive!

After a moment of staring down at the scene below you were once again enveloped by a pale blue glow causing you to squint your eyes shut, upon opening them you were stood once more in a brightly lit circler room with Trunks.

"That was wonderful - I didn't think it was your first time." He speaks before you can say anything.

You bite your (colour) lip and snicker, torn between mentioning Goku's death and making a 'that's what she said' joke.

"Oh, and don't worry about Goku - he'll be revived with the dragon balls."

"Huh? Revived? Then what was the point of all that?!" You question before pausing contemplatively, suddenly wondering what a dragon ball was and how they could bring someone back to life.

Trunks holds his hands out defensively. "Goku was meant to die - but without your help they wouldn't have been able to defeat Radditz. Sorry for not mentioning it-"

"Again." You interrupt, raising your eyes just long enough to briefly glare at him before returning to your thoughts, your chin resting against your hand.

"Yeah..." He smiles nervously. "I'll be sure to keep you more informed from now on- if you choose to stay that is..." His sight drifting down to the shiny flooring as his brows furrowed slightly.

"So anyway... What's a dragon ball?" You ask, changing the subject back.

"Oh, they're what I used to bring you here- when you gather all severn of them, it summons the dragon to grant you a wish, I-"

"Wait- what?" You interrupt yet again, now giving your full attention. "That's-" You pause, you were going to say crazy before you recalled the events of your arrival - magic wish granting balls weren't THAT unbelievable, you supposed. "...Intresting."

Now more receptive to the notion a smirk formed upon your face as you turned your head to seemingly stare at an uninteresting wall, whilst your mind went over all the things you could wish for - so many choices.

"...But anyway." Trunks continues after a few awkward seconds of silence in which you had zoned out again. "If you still want to return home-"

"Yeah about that- perhaps I was too hasty, I mean what do I wanna go back for anyway? This is clearly where the action is." You respond, looking to him and smiling as you cross your arms behind your back, tilting your head slightly. Of course your second thoughts were really only due to the revelation you had just received about the dragon balls - but he didn't need to know that.

Trunks regards you silently for a moment - perhaps he knew of your poorly disguised ulterior motives and wanted your help so bad he didn't care, or maybe he really was that naive, either way he soon joined you in a smile. "Fantastic! With your help, I'm sure we can find out what's going on." He stretches out a hand for you to shake. "I know Shenron chose you for a reason!" He nods determinedly, his blue eyes meeting your (e/c) ones as you clasp his hand.

"Sure... whatever that reason is."

~~~

You follow him outside, staring upwards in thought.

"You should take a look around TokiToki city." Said your lavender haired companion as the two of you came to a stop before the portal. "When you're done meet me by the time machines - theres something else I need to discuss." He waves before turning away and walking back the way you came.

You return the friendly gesture as you step through the archway back into the city, squinting your eyes from the bright blue light. With a quick yawn you cast you gaze around the currently vacant area, pondering your next course of action - food would be nice.

For now you would play along until you uncover more information about these mysterious dragon balls, steal em, make your wish and be on your way... How hard could it be?
