Kame House

Descending slowly from the air the plane Launch and Byo used landed on the ground of the small island known for the location of the Kame House.

Actually, it was somewhat larger than depicted. It had at least enough space for a whole two-story house, a garage at the right side of the front, and a wooden terrace to the left that seemed to lead into the kitchen of the home.

A little bit further away along with some palm trees standing in the sun there was even a large field for farming. Probably used for planting some vegetables and stuff. Maybe even training, who knew.

Besides that, even a few chicken were running around picking something from the ground to get their hunger satiated. Or just simply being stupid as hell and picking up every little pebble twice and trice. There was a lot of sand of course.

'Interesting,' thought Byo while looking around. He was actually expecting the old small isle with no self-sustainability from the original but he was genuinely positively surprised.

This isle was small, yes, but it also was also so much larger and had more things on it than the manga ever depicted - which made sense in the end.

"This is where my other half works most of the time," said Launch now after she capsuled the plane. "The house right there labeled with the Kame is the owners. He is also the one that should help you out with your wounds."

"Are you sure they will help out a stranger? I mean, just like that?," asked Byo back and wondered how the guy's reaction to him will be.

"I did enough work for that perverted old geezer. He can at least compensate me for it with something...," said Launch with a frown.

"Pervert?," asked Byo again. It looks like Launch was not that oblivious to Roshi. At least not the blond side of her.

"Yeah, just ignore that old man's antics. I punish him enough already when he tries stupid stuff...I am just saying this because I am not sure what you will hear about me...Also, keep an eye over my other half for me, alright?," said Launch and then approached the door.

Byo smiled softly hearing her being so conscious about what impression he's got about her. And she even seemed to rely on him at the same instant.

After using the doorbell a woman came walking in response and opened the door.

Byo immediately recognized Bulma with that light-blue colored short hair. Her beauty was actually not bad at all. He could see why so many were fawning over her. The personality she had was another matter.

But currently, she seemed in a good mood though. So Bulma smiled at Launch when she saw her.

"Launch! It has been a while! It's good to see you," she said happily.

Launch smiled back. Blonde Launch was also rather on good terms with Bulma. It was all thanks to them being involved in adventure since their teens "Yeah, I thought I come by and make a visit. Didn't think you would also be here, Bulma."

After getting her answer Bulma's blue eyes traveled behind Launch and landed on Byo. "And who is this?" she asked.

Launch walked past Bulma into the house. Not forgetting to drop her an answer. "Oh, that is my boyfriend."

"I see. So your boyfr..." Before Bulma could speak more and end her sentence she realized what she had heard and made big eyes looking at Launch that was now behind her. "Your boyfriend!?"

Turning back to Byo she blinked afew times with her eyes in disbelief and then inspected him with a suspicious look.

"Um, hi. The name's Byo..," he said while smiling wrily at Bulma and scratching the back of his head. He also seemed to avoid her direct eye contact.

"Hmm...I am Bulma," said Bulma back while having a rather blank face when she stopped staring and leaning back. Then turning around she also went inside.

Guessing it was alright, he also walked into the house.

Inside he saw an old man and a bald guy sitting in the living room on the couch while the TV was running and showing what seemed to be the news.

"Oh, Launch. You came back?" asked the old man when he saw her. There was happiness shown on his face but it was probably dampened down by the violent version of Launch being in control.

"Hey, Bulma. Did you see that? Looks like the Red Ribbon Army still had some hideouts and last night an explosion happened in one of them," said the bald guy to Bulme while pointing with his finger towards the news showing a destroyed lab of some sort.

"Those guys still making trouble?", asked Bulma back and frowned a little.

Byo suddenly got a headache seeing those images and groaned for a split second. "That's not a lab but a weapons development site."

Suddenly realizing what he was mumbling Byo frowned. Where exactly did that information pop out in his head?

"What? You know about...it?" asked the bald guy that was identified as Krillin after byo could now see the ceremonial six Shaolin stigma on his forehead. His face was also becoming a deep frown and his eyes looking at Byo's chest where the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army was.

"Actually, I don't know. It just popped out in my head. I guess I was part of that organization? What was it? Red Ribbon Army? Can't remember much about it," answered Byo truthfully after seeing guessing why he stopped talking and also tried to get out of that situation. He was truly not at fault here...

Bulma was the one talking next. "I figured as much. Why else would Launch have a boyfriend with that background? But I was surprised to see another guy with that appendage." She clearly pointed at his tail now.

After hearing her out everyone else saw the tail at his back and they all relaxed around him by a large margin. Byo wondered if that was the influence of Goku? At least Krillin's hostility lessened and he even smiled now.

"Man...I never would have thought to see another person with such a tail. That brings back memories. By the way, Goku actually called us a while ago and said he was going to visit today. It has been 4 years now, huh?" Krillin grinned and was still in nostalgia. At the getgo, he mentioned what he nearly forgot to the others.

Everyone was smiling and happy to meet him again. Byo however frowned a little. It was because that sentence had bad implications. 'If that is the case, then I landed right at the Saiyan Saga? For fucks sake...'

Just when he thought about that, a man's voice sounded from outside and the others went out to greet the person.

After going outside Byo could now see Goku in flesh and blood. It was a rather weird moment for him. This icon really had that unique hairdo on his head.

Scrutinizing him a little more he saw that he was extremely fit and looked like a martial artist from head to toe through and through. No wonder there. But that he really did wear a martial gi nearly 24/7 was really strange.

"Hey, guys! It's been a while, huh?" Goku came down from his nimbus and then took a little child down from it as well.

"Goku! Haha! It's good to see you!," shouted Krillin happily.

They all approached him and Bulma noticed the kid near Goku.

"Whose kid is that?" she asked with a smile at Goku.

"That's my son," replied Goku nonchalantly as if it was the most normal thing in the world. And sure it was but no one of his friends even thought that Goku knew how the bees worked and were shocked.

Literally, everyone got shocked, and even Launch looked confused with a frown.

"Your kid!?" asked Roshi again.

"Yep. Gohan, say hi to them." Goku nodded and urged his son to greet everyone.

"Hello," said Gohan with a shy tone.

"Gohan? Did you name him after your grandfather? That is such a nice choice, Goku.", nodded Roshi in agreement to that name.

"Oh, he actually got a tail as well?", asked Krillin now when seeing it there as well.

"Yeah, like the one I used to have," answered Goku.

"Not only you. Looks like that guy over there has one as well." Krillin pointed with his thumb back at Byo who approached Goku and Gohan now and then squatted in front of Gohan.

"Hey there, little guy." Byo smiled at Gohan who in response got curious when he saw the same tail as himself wiggling around at the backside of the strange men.

Standing back up Byo looked at Goku and when their eyes met he felt a weird pressure for a second.

"Hmm you don't seem to be strong?", tilted Goku his head when he seemed to realize something. "Are you not a martial artist?"

"Goku, not everyone is like you just because they have the same biology as you." Bulma sighed at his fighter attitude. Goku probably tried to measure him up already so he could fight him.

"Haha...no I am not that good of a fighter....", stated Byo. It was the truth. "The names Byo, by the way."

"Oh, I see. My name Goku and this here is Gohan." Goku reintroduced himself and Gohan again.

"What are we standing around here in the open. Let's go inside.", said Roshi who just silently watched at the sides and then slowly proceeded to walk back inside.

But right at that moment Goku frowned and looked up into the sky.

Byo also got a weird tingling sensation at his temple and looked in the same direction.

His eyes were pretty sharp and he saw a dot on the horizon approaching fast. Especially his sense of smell told him a person was on his way here.

And not the kind of good type from the foul smell. It was weird that he could differentiate what smell meant what. Could be some kind of perk...

Of course, Byo knew it was Raditz that came flying to this location.

'Just great...Damn it.'
