Inside other's minds

Chapter 1~ The strange encounter

"Why have you summoned me? Speak your wishes now!" Shenron, the wish granting immortal dragon, said, his tail swirling union with his whiskers.

Goku stepped up. "Our first wish is to revive everyone who had died in the hands of Boo!"

Shenron's eyes glowed brightly red, "Your wish has been granted! Speak your other wish!"

Goku hesitated. "Well... is it okay if you make a reborn version of Boo, this time, good-hearted?"

Vegeta gasped."What? Kakarot, are you insane?!"

"I know what I'm doing, Vegeta. Trust me with this one." Goku smiled his goofy smile.

"Is that your wish? For Boo to rebirth into a good-hearted soul?" Shenron asked impatiently.

"Yes! That is our wish!" Goku shouted.

The eyes of the almighty dragon glowed brightly again. "You're wish has been granted! Until the next time!"

Shenron vanished into the Dragonballs.
All seven of the balls glowed brightly as they rose into the air and split to their new destinations throughout the world.
The sky slowly turned back into the normal bright baby blue.

Goku sighed. "Well, looks like that's done."

Vegeta sneered. "We almost died several times during that battle and all you say is, 'that's done?' Gah! I'll never understand you, Kakarot."

Goku laughed. "Well, it's true! At least all of it is finally over. Until I meet Boo's reincarnation. Wonder what he's gonna be like..."

"Who knows what'll happen, Kakarot. I still can't believe you wasted a perfectly good wish!" Vegeta kept his arms crossed.

"It won't be a waste. Trust me, Vegeta. I know what I'm doing." Goku put his hands behind his head. "Come on, let's go back home. I'm starving!"

"You and your stomach! How do you manage to keep eating so much food, it's almost impossible!"

Goku just laughed.

******

"So, how's the search going?" Chi-Chi asked Goku one morning.

"Kinda difficult. Even with Instant Transmission, it tries me out!" Goku plopped his head onto the table. "So much fighting and no food or sleep, isn't a good combination!".

Chi-Chi sighed as she put a bowl of rice in front of Goku, who immediately started to inhale it down.

"At least the world's at peace again..." She sighed. "Maybe this time, it'll stay safe."

"Yeah, it should be for a long while. Until I'm at least as old and wrinkly as Master Roshi!" Goku laughed.

Chi-Chi giggled. "You're such a goofball."

"Well, thanks for breakfast. I got to get going, though. I'll see you soon." He kissed Chi-Chi goodbye and ran out of the door, taking off into the sky.

Goku looked down at his Dragon-radar and clicked on it to search for any sign of the balls.
The radar beeped loudly, showing the closest dragonball being only a few miles away from the city.

"Okay! Got it!" Goku then Instant Transmitted to the exact location of the dragonball.
But he wasn't expecting to see what he saw next.

He appeared in the forest, next to a tall, big, twisted, tree. The ball was wedged in the hole of the trunk. The ball looked just like any normal Dragonballs, orange, having four deep red stars in the middle.
He grabbed the ball and yanked it hard from the tree, pulling away easily.
"Three down, four to go." He sighed.
He pulled two fingers up to his forehead--

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"What was--?!" Goku stopped and listened.

He suddenly sensed four nearby presences. All four were incredibly powerful. But one was falling slowly.

Goku gasped. "I-- Incredible! Where are they?!"

He jumped into the air and dashed to the four presences. He felt an unmistakable needed to help the falling presence. There's no doubt that the three have ganged up on the one, taking him down unfairly.
Goku couldn't take it. His ki raised out of anger and his speed increased.

"Look at 'er! Can you believe she's the Masica?"

"Oi, let's see how much we can push outta her, shall we?"

"Yeah, she's not so great, is she? Makura must've made a mistake."

"N-N-No, please... stop it.."

Goku gasped. The last voice was female. The rest were male.

He landed on a tree to find a clearing in the woods.
He saw three large motorcycle looking guys, surrounding none other then a young girl, who's at least one fourth their age.
She looked like she's been beaten up.

"Oi, Masica! Makura's ain't here to protect yeh now!" One of the motorcycle guys said.
The three men laughed.

"Hey, remember she ain't the Masica! She's just a mistake!" Another said. The man then grabbed the young girl, who screamed again, and kicked her in the stomach.
She collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood.

"HEY!!!" Goku yelled. He jumped down from his tree and landed right behind the four.

"Out of everything I've ever seen in my entire life, I've never seen men sunk so low to gang up on a little girl! And for what? For a laugh?!" Goku was getting angry.

"Oi, who's this shrimp? Where'd he come from?" The man who kicked the girl asked.

"Don't know. Just some earthling. Come on, we can deal with him." The guy to his left said.

"Who are you guys? You're obviously not from earth, now tell me who you are!" Goku balled his fists, getting closer into a fighting stance.

"Smart, ain't he? Alright then. I am Prince Hinou, son of the great King and Queen, and this here is Saran and Jinlau, our most loyal soldiers. We are from the planet Nicdoria. We Nicdorians are a prideful and powerful race. And, this here child is supposedly our generation's Masica." He gestured to the girl on the ground, who's still clenching her stomach in pain.

"Uh... sorry, but what's a Masica? I'm sorry, but I've never heard of one of those before." Goku said, putting his hand behind his head.

"Of course you haven't." Saran snickered.

"The Masica is the soul protector of all Nicdorians and destined Queen of our planet. She is very precious to everyone, admired by some as a goddess! But my insolent brother was chosen to be the next king after our father passes, and so he chooses the Masica." Hinou glared at the young girl. "And he choose this pathetic excuse for a human. What my brother doesn't understand is that the Masica is chosen by fate. My brother is supposed to fall in love with his future queen, not pick someone random from the hat!
"So, you must understand our frustration. The Masica has to be perfect. Not something like... well, this."

Goku stared at them. "So, you're beating her to the pulp for what reason exactly?"

"To kill her, you insolent human!!" Hinou yelled annoyingly. "She is not our Masica!!"

"Sorry to break it to uou, but I'm not gonna let you kill an innocent human girl all because you don't like her. Besides, your brother wouldn't be happy if he found out that you're the one who killed his bride." Goku said, standing in a fighting stance.

The prince laughed.

"If only the earthling understood the true meaning of the Masica! Then maybe he'll let us continue!"

The three stood in a feirce fighting stance together, rising their ki.

Goku raised his a little more, being at only a quarter power.

"Heh. How long do ya think he'll last, Prince Hinou?" Saran asked.

"Bet he'll be dead in two seconds!" Jinlau smirked.

"Oi! Let's get this show on the road, you two!" The prince snapped.

The three charged.
