Kaioshin's Haven Hosted Fan Fiction

 **This is the title part. Which could possibly make it the longest. Be warned. Oh, And there is a couple times that I put in parenthesis (), they don’t have anything to do with the story, so if you don’t want to read them you don’t have to. **

 Time flies when you’re having fun. Many people can vouch for that, but what many people don’t know is that time flies much faster when you’re dreading something. Colifla was definitely dreading something. In fact, she was dreading two some-things. 
 She was aware that her father would be on earth in a little less than a day, but she’d also been in formed by Vegeta that if she lived through the battle with her father she would be attending high school with Trunks and Goten.
 When she heard this, she wasn’t sure which one scared her more, the thought that her father might wind up killing her or the thought that if he didn’t she would have to go to high school, whatever that was. However, considering the fact that Colifla was Very Sayain and very female, she was up for the challenge and she shared her fears with no one. Not even Trunks who, as Vegeta puts it, had grown fond of her.
 She, in turn, had grown fond of him as well. It had taken a while for them to warm up and finally admit that they liked each other to their faces but now that they had the hard part out of the way they would ‘Train’ together for hours after Goten had gone home for the evening. One such night they were surprised with the arrival of Aspro.
 The pair sat together under a blanket of stars. They were leaning against a tree and Trunks looked up into the sky, “They’re beautiful.” He commented.
 “Mm.” Colifla closed her eyes, “Trunks?” she asked softly.
 “Yeah?” he slipped one strong-arm around her.
 She looked into his eyes; “Can we just stay like this forever?”
 “What do you mean”
 “I mean, can we just sit here, in this peacefulness…forever?”
 “That’s very poetic.”
 “You’re not gonna get out of this one Boxers.” She smiled playfully at him.
 “Well,” He said carefully, “we can’t really,”
 Colifla’s shoulders sank as she sighed, “We have to fight don’t we?”
Trunks wrapped his arm tighter around Colifla’s shoulder, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.”
 “Really?” Colifla’s once rough and harsh Sayain tone had been transformed into that of a lost, scared child who just wanted to find out who she was.
 “Yeah.” Trunks smiled playfully, “And you know what?”
 “What?”
 “As soon as we’re finished with the fight I’ll show you my Dad’s secret spot.”
 “Really?”
 “I promise.” He gazed down at her for a moment but then returned his gaze to the stars and planets of other galaxies. His thoughts drifted into space and soon he was floating around wandering the universe with Colifla at his side. They shared all their secrets and were lost in love.
 Back in reality Colifla closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but as soon as they were shut her eyelids snapped open. She left Trunks’ side and stared into the sky. Anyone wandering by would have thought that she was just looking at the stars, but Trunks knew what she was doing. She was scanning. He felt it now too and stood. 
 “He’s here.” Trunks whispered. But it was too late; Colifla was running towards Capsule Corp and couldn’t hear a word.
 When Colifla reached Capsule Corp the first thing she noticed was that Bulma and Vegeta weren’t waiting for them, “VEGETA!!!!” She shouted at the top of her lungs.
 “WHAT?!?!” He shouted back. The shout came from up stairs so Colifla stayed where she was.
 “We’ve got company!!”
 “Not now.” Vegeta said in a barely audible tone.
 In a flash, both Trunks and Vegeta were standing by Colifla. Vegeta was dressed in his favorite attire, Sayain armor. Colifla looked him up and down and then he spoke to Trunks, “Get ready boy!” He barked, “And You’d better call you’re little friend. I’m sure there will be some minions and I don’t feel like playing with them.” Trunks immediately left the room on his way to follow his father’s orders.
 Colifla stared into Vegeta’s eyes. He read her like a book. Her cover said ‘I’m ready.’ But her table of contents showed only one chapter entitled I Really Don’t Want to Do This. Vegeta made a mental note of this behavior and hoped that she would stay on their side. He would never admit it to her or anyone, but she was strong and if she’d wanted to she probably could have done a lot of damage.
 Still, something was nagging at the back of his mind. Something that said this girl would be important. Something said that he would have to perform the spell that had bound him to her mother. So, when trunks walked in again, Vegeta made the decision of his life.
 “Trunks.” He said gruffly.
 “Yes father?” Trunks said thinking that he was in trouble.
 “Take the girl by the hand.”
 Trunks did as he was told and as if she already known what was going on Colifla took Trunks’ other hand and they made a pile of hands in the middle of them. For a split second two shadow tails appeared wrapped around the pile of hands and the children stared into each other’s eyes. (look familiar?)
 The process made Vegeta remember years ago when he and his Colifla had been standing in that same position. Then the words Gentla had said them, but could he remember? Would he be able to help these two the n he remembered the ancient words that would betroth his son to this girl. And as much as he hated doing this it would protect his son. Besides, he knew the real reason Aspro wanted this girl and if he could help save her from the fate that her mother suffered he would. And he did.
A strange purple-blue light seemed to rise out of the floor as Vegeta speak the spell. Trunks and Colifla were both off in la la land so neither of them noticed the phenomenon that was going on around them. All they knew was each other. And each one of them held the other as though they could never let go.
Then Goku, Goten, Gohan, Krillen, Android 18, Piccolo and Marron came in through the front door and at nearly the same time, Bra and Bulma walked in. Everyone opened their mouth at the same time, probably to ask the same question, but before anyone could say anything the light disappeared and the shadow tails reappeared then disappeared again. Slowly their hands untangled and they looked away.
 Trunks blushed softly, “ When did you guys get here?” he asked of the large party in front of him.
 “Just now.” Goku said, “ Vegeta, what was that?”
  “That is none of your concern Kakarott.” Vegeta growled.
Everyone except Trunks and Colifla thought that Vegeta had completely lost his marbles. Why was he standing there just watching as that strange light surrounded the two of them? What was that light anyway, and  what did it do to Trunks and Colifla? But the way Goku figured it if Vegeta said not to worry about it then the two of them would be fine.
 “Okay.” Goku said with a small shrug of his shoulders and a wild smile on his face, “hey Trunks, why’d you call us?”
 “You mean they haven’t felt it either?” Colifla asked of Trunks.
 “Yeah, it’s just you and me so far.”
“What are you guys talking about?” Goten asked.
 “All of you search the solar system. how close is he?” Colifla ordered.
 They all began searching. Then BANG! Everyone found him.
 “He’s on Earth.” Goku said.
 “Not only is he on Earth.” Colifla said moving towards the window, “He’s found me.”
 Everyone came to the window and looked out. They could see an energy trail headed their way. It was definitely a high power and it was fast. They stayed at the window for a few more seconds and then Goku walked  calmly out the front door. In the same calm manner his two sons followed, then Krillen and his family, then Piccolo and Vegeta. Last of all was Trunks and Colifla.
 The group assembled on the front lawn of Capsule Corp. Goku was in the front of the group flanked by Gohan and Vegeta, behind them was Piccolo, Krillen, 18, and Marron. Goten and Trunks were in between the two lines of people and Colifla brought up the rear of the group. She was hiding behind Piccolo and as she stood there, the nerve which she’d been gaining these past weeks and moths at Capsule Corp. was all going down the proverbial tubes.
 As Aspro touched down in front of the group Trunks made the first manly decision of his life. He decided to protect what he felt was his. He would let his father protect his family hand Goku protect his friends, but he was going to protect Colifla. He couldn’t explain it, but he felt responsible for her now.
 Colifla felt exactly opposite of Trunks. She felt that she needed to be protected by someone. She felt open and scared, like her emotions and her weaknesses were written on her shirt for everyone to see. She felt a little better, however, when Trunks slipped back and settled an arm around her shoulder.
 Aspro was searching through the group for his daughter, he knew she was there, but he couldn’t see her. He ended his search when the group split up and a small voice came from the back, “De nutaro papa.” [hello father].
 “De licto neran-do” [you’ve made some friends.]
“de-taru, de nic toa,” [yes father, I’ve made some friends] She paused and as though she were drawing her strength from Trunks she said, “Tero, de lira no eichtoa serandona. Te na su eda li toa rando tero eichtoa noe truna se deyo.” [And I can’t go with you. Not this time. I’m eighteen years old now and you don’t rule over me any more]
 Aspro stood in amazement and anger. This girl had never spoken back to him in her entire life. Why was she choosing now to rebel? He was so close to finding the book. She was so much stronger than her mother was. He needed her to get the ring for him so that he could enter the hall of immortals. Then he could steal the book and the universe would be his for all eternity.
He regained his composure and stared her down, “De tero se no tu rena” [you’re coming with me Colifla, and that is final.]
 Vegeta was the only one who understood what the two of them were saying and he didn’t like what was going on. “ Dou tena.” [she stays] he said firmly. Then the conversation switched to English, “ And if you want her you’ll have to go through us.”
 “Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do with my daughter?”
“I am the Prince of the Sayains. And you will show respect to me.”
 “So,” Aspro said in a supercilious (syn. Haughty, arrogant) tone “you’re the princeling?”
 Colifla drew away from Trunks and towards her father, “Daddy stop it please.” She sounded desperate, but she knew that tone. Only bad things could happen when he spoke like that.
 “ How dare you cross me twice in one day.” He raised a hand to slap her and for a moment she almost turned her cheek to be slapped, but then she stopped. As his hand came down she grabbed his wrist.
 “I dare to defy you because I know what you would do to him.” Colifla looked into her father’s eyes with once again the pleading look, which he thought was so foreign on her face, “ you would kill him and leave his two children with \out a father and his wife without a husband. Papa, that’s why I can’t let you get the book. And that’s why I can’t let you get that book.”
 “And you actually think that I’m going to stand for this? You’ll pay dearly for your mouth young lady.”
 “Oh really? You never knew why mom didn’t have the power to get you stupid ring did you?”
 “ And you’re so smart as to why?” 
 “Yes, I am. She passed the power to me before the final attempt.” Then Colifla took a step back and grabbed one of Goku’s hands and one of Vegeta’s hands. Then as if they were possessed by something they reached out and grabbed their oldest sons. Gohan grabbed Goten’s hand and as soon and they began linking hands Colifla said, “I am the key-master and no boundaries are mine.” Aspro linked to the chain and they disappeared in a bright light.
 When the light had gone and the dust cleared Piccolo, for once in his life, stated the obvious, “They’re gone.”

*****

Meanwhile on a planet whose name has been lost to antiquity, seven Sayains arrived in the center of a very large maze. Goku was confused, Gohan was intrigued, Goten was upside down on the floor, Trunks was helping Goten up, Vegeta was acting cool, Aspro was furious, and Colifla was scared to death. 
 “Only one can enter the maze!” He shouted. Enraged that the others had even been allowed into the starting point he opened his mouth to speak again, but he was cut off by an ancient voice that echoed from everywhere.
 “Who has entered the maze?” The Voice had a deep tone as though it were very old and, if it’s even possible, it sounded dusty.
 “Uh… Well” Goku started.
 “I am the seeker!” Aspro shouted angrily.
 “One at a time!” The voice boomed shaking the whole room, “First the one called Vegeta. Why are you here?”
 “I’m here to destroy this pathetic weakling.” Vegeta crossed his arms and looked at Aspro. Aspro glared back at him.
 “Goku. Why are you here?”
 “In case Vegeta needs any help.”
 “Gohan?” 
 “ To help them.”
 “Goten?”
 “Well, I just came because Gohan was coming.”
 “Trunks?”
 “I’m here to protect Colifla. I won’t let him use her for his own evil purposes.” Trunks copied his father’s stance.
 “Colifla.”
 “My father believes me to be the key master.”
 “Aspro.”
 “I am the seeker. I am here to find the treasure. Now let me in.”
 The voice ignored Aspro’s comment and spoke once again, “Only one of you may enter and you must have the key with you.”
 “What key?!” Aspro shouted. The voice did not answer, “What Key?!” Aspro shouted again.
 “Shut your mouth!” Vegeta growled at Aspro, “he obviously isn’t going to tell you!”
 “ Well, do you have any better ideas?” Aspro returned the death glare that he’d just received form Vegeta.
“Listen,” Gohan said trying to talk sense into the two furious Sayains, “ We’re gonna be stuck in here if we don’t work together.”
 Colifla used this time to wander off by herself and  over to a door that looked like it had been painted in the wall. There a smaller version of the voice spoke to her, “I am the gatekeeper your treasure I bind.”
“I am the key-master. No boundaries are mine.”
 “Where is the seeker whose treasure I’ve taken?”
 “He waits in the courtyard to be awaken.”
 The door opened and Colifla slipped through before anyone had time to wonder where she went. While the others were fighting, she had decided to try out her idea of a key. A simple rhyme. She didn’t know how she knew it, but she knew it. (okay sports fans, here’s where it gets confusing, so hang on to your butts.)
 “Hey Dad.” Trunks said about five minutes into the argument.
 “What?” Vegeta snapped at his son.
 “Where’d Colifla go?”
 This caused everyone to stop, “I thought you were keeping an eye on her.”
 “I thought Goten was watching her.”
 “Don’t look at me.” Goten said, “I thought my dad was watching her.”
 Everyone looked at Goku who was sitting on the ground kindergarten style and looked as though he were about to fall asleep.
 

 Colifla came to the first door way of the maze. She had figured out that the right way would be paved with doors. She placed her hand gently on the knob. The door spoke to her.
 “Perfection is the cat’s meow.”
 “Only if you know how.” She replied almost without thinking. The door opened and she continued on her way.
 

 “This is your fault Vegeta!” Aspro Shouted
 “It’s you’re fault! You’re the reason we’re here!” Vegeta shouted back.
 “ I ought to kill you!”
 “I’d like to see you try.”
 Aspro gave a battle cry. He was done playing around. It had come to blows and it was Vegeta versus Aspro. Everyone was interested Goku woke up, and Gohan even stopped poking around to watch.

 Colifla had come to the second door.
 “We share a dream.”
 “Because were a team.” The door opened and she moved on. Was it just her or were these rhymes getting a little corny?
 Vegeta and Aspro sent each other a barrage (syn. Burst)of kicks, punches, blocks, and blasts. The fight was exactly like a spar, except that neither of them were trying at all.
 “Are you finished warming up?” Vegeta asked as they paused a moment, “I know that you can reach super Sayain level four, so don’t try to fool me.”
 “Well, I see that Colifla has been letting out secrets again, she will pay for that as well.”
 

 Colifla had come to another door, “There’s no need to worry.”
 “But I’m in a hurry!” The door opened and Colifla thought to herself as she went through, ‘ how many of these doors are there?”
 

 “Final Flash!” Vegeta’s shout filled the room.
 “Ti-Lo-Te!” Aspro’s shout tried but was nowhere near as loud as Vegeta’s.
 The two blasts fought to get closer to the owner’s opponent. Neither giving any ground. Both men had completed the transformation to super Sayain four and both were trying to go higher.
Then Aspro’s attention strayed  and in the same moment Vegeta’s blast got through. Aspro’s blast turned and hit Trunks. “NO!!!!” Vegeta yelled.
Aspro laughed as he was hit by the blast. Both he and Trunks cried out at the same time. Vegeta rushed to his son’s side.
 

 “A loved one has fallen.”
 “He will enliven” (syn. Heal) Colifla advanced again.
 

 “Trunks.” Vegeta shook the limp body of his son.
 “Wake up Trunks.” Goten said. All the Z Warriors had gathered around Trunks and Vegeta.
 “He’ll never wake.” Aspro’s voice rang cold with laughter, “his life is finished.”
 “Shut up!” Vegeta yelled.
 “Oh are you going to stop me?” Aspro had sarcastic fear in his tone.
 “You heard him!” Goten yelled, “Shut up! Trunks isn’t dead he’s way too strong to be dead by you weenie blast!” This out burst from Goten was as unexpected as a surprise attack from Freeza in February.
 “ you think that you could beat me boy?” Aspro sneered.
 “He can’t.” Vegeta said firmly, “But I will.” Vegeta Charged at Aspro with a new hatred for him.
 

 “The life breath is gone.”
 “Not for long.” Colifla realized now that from this point on the voice would rhyme by telling her what had happened to her friends. Now she was hoping that she could change whatever had happened.
 

 Vegeta didn’t understand, Trunks and Colifla were betrothed, yet, when he felt for a pulse there was none. The magic was supposed to protect both his son and Colifla. Not just the girl, then again, was she even alive?
 “You’ll never defeat me!” Aspro yelled as Vegeta slammed his fists into the man’s arms, “You’re too weak.”
 Vegeta knew he was right by he couldn’t let Aspro know that. So before Vegeta gave up he turned to Goku and with a small nod floated downward.
 “So you giving up are you? Ha! I always knew you’d turn out to be a weakling.”
Fortunately, Vegeta didn’t rise the bait that Aspro had just laid out. He landed softly on the ground and walked over to Goku, “Kakarott,” He said, “I think it’s time for him to meet Veggetto.”
 Goku had a smile on his face, but this wasn’t a usual smile. This was the smile he only got be fore some major butt kicking took place. “Yeah.”
 Gohan, who had been leaning over Trunks, now had a look of amazement on his face. “Vegeta!”
 “What do you want fool? Can’t you see that I’m busy?”
 “He has a pulse.”
 “What?” Vegeta ran over to his son. Goku followed. Aspro was about to attack them from behind so Gohan ran towards him.

 
 “The first born’s fight begins.”
 “Let’s hope he wins.” ‘The last thing we need now is for Trunks or Gohan to die.’ she added in her mind, ‘ and lets hope that I don’t take anymore wrong turns.’ She’d already been stopped by four wrong turns.
 

Gohan was doing everything he could to stop Aspro from blasting everyone else away. Goten was switching from starring at Trunks, who was making a lame attempt at getting up, to watching his brother fight when Gohan screamed in agony and began to fall to the ground.
 “Gohan!” Goku and Goten screamed in unison. Both stood, Goten flew the fastest.
 “What did you do to my brother?” Goten demanded of Aspro.
 “I took his life. And now I’m going to take yours.” Aspro came closer to Goten.
 “NO!!!” Goten shouted as he flew towards Aspro. The two were now engaged in a furious battle. Everyone was now either tending to Gohan or watching Goten.
 “Goten! Get down here. He’s too strong for you!” Goku yelled
“Kakarott we don’t have time for that! And as much as I hate being so close to you, we have to fuse now!” Vegeta was looking angry. Trunks had gone over to Gohan side to see how he was doing. The younger boy was still to hurt to fight or do much of anything else, but he could take care of Gohan.
“Goten…”Goku made one last attempt to save his second son before seeing the reasoning in Vegeta’s thinking.
 Both men took a stance and bent inward with their fingers touching. A blinding light emitted from them and then, Goten fell.
 

 “The second has fallen and the first is done.”
 “Don’t worry, soon two shall be one.” Colifla passed through the door, the rhymes were getting easier and much more obvious. She knew now that Gohan and Goten were hurt.
 

 Veggetto caught Goten as he fell. Aspro watched in awe. Where did the other two go? He wondered, and who is this guy? Veggetto set the boy on the ground,. Then he turned his head towards Aspro. “By now you may be wondering where the others are and who I am.” Veggetto said calmly.
 “Perhaps. Or perhaps I don’t really care at all.”
 “You are a man of action. Lies are not becoming of you.”
 “You are a man of action as well.”
 “Perhaps, but I am also a man of my word. And the others are me and I am the others.”
 “How is that possible?” 
 “I am neither Vegeta nor Goku. I am the perfect mix of both. I am Veggetto.”
 “Well, I don’t really care who you are. I will still destroy you.”
 “Or so you think.” Aspro and Veggetto charged at one another.
 

 “ You’re guess was correct.”
 “Why did you check?” Colifla was one door from the center of the maze where the ring of power was supposed to be. At least that’s how the legend went.
 “I thought you were wrong.”
 “Why when I belong?”
 “Will you help you dad?”
 “No. He made me mad.” She never had to go through this many rhymes, but finally the door opened.
 

Veggetto and Aspro were still fighting and Veggetto was beginning to get the upper hand in the battle. Aspro was breathing heavily and tiring out.
 “You’ll never win. Why don’t you just give up now?” Aspro said through gasps for air.
 “You’re the one who’s breathing heavy.” Veggetto was in super Sayain four and his tail was flicking back and fourth in an annoyed tone, “And besides that, you’re beginning to bore me.”
 “I’m not finished yet!” Aspro sounded as though he were trying harder to convince himself than anyone else.
 “Yes,” Veggetto said raising one hand, “ You are.” He blasted and Aspro fell in a million pieces to the ground.
Aspro’s dust was closely followed by two very tired Sayains by the names of Goku and Vegeta.
 

 Colifla flew around the last corner. She had taken two more wrong turns and was beginning to feel that she was running out of time. Finally she came to the last door. She knew that it had to be the last door because it was the plainest of all the doors. The first door had been quite elegant and they had gotten plainer as she’d gotten closer to the center or so she figured.
 “Up until now you’ve only had to make rhymes, now you will have to make riddles.”
 “A contest?” She asked.
 “Of sorts. I will ask a riddle and you answer it. Then you will ask a riddle and I will answer it. If I fail to answer the riddle you may pass.”
 “And if I fail?”
 “Then your place will be taken by one of your companions.”
 “I understand.” Colifla got a bit edgy, “You may begin.”
 “What can you put into a barrel that will make it lighter?”
 “ A hole.” Colifla said quickly, “My turn. What walks on four feet in the morning, two feet at midday and three feet in the evening?”
For some time the door didn’t answer, then it spoke, “A biped child crawls, a full grown biped walks and an elder uses a cane.”
 “Very good. Your turn.”
 “A man was found in the middle of a field with no weapons of suicide. How did he die?”
 “The parachute didn’t open.”
 “your swift.”
 “No, your riddles are simple.”
 “I’ll have to increase the difficulty then.”
 “Hush. Tom’s mom has three sons. One is named quarter, one is named dime, what is the name of the third son?”
 “Interesting, but simple. The third son is named Tom.”
 “Good.”
 “What is a bell that never rings, yet its toll makes the angels sing?”
 “Colifla didn’t understand. She’d heard this once before though and even then she didn’t understand the answer. The thought for long minuets and finally came up with the answer. “Bluebells.” She said plainly, “now for a hard one, but I did borrow this from The Hobbit.”
 “What is a hobbit?”
 “Never mind. This thing all things devour: birds, beasts, trees, flowers; gnaws iron, bites steel and grinds hard stone to meal; slays kings, ruins towns, and beats tall mountains down.”
 The door was silent for a long time. Then Colifla grew impatient, “Well, what’s your answer?”
 “you may pass.”
 “That’s not the… oh, thanks.” She’d completely forgotten about getting to the middle of the maze.
 The door opened and she walked into the middle of what looked to be an empty room. She nearly overlooked a small brown box that blended in with the floor.
 She bent down and carefully picked it up. She was about to open the box, but the deep booming voice that had greeted them at the entrance spoke, “you have reached the center alone, key-master, why?”
“I want the ring and I want to be free from my responsibilities as the key-master.”
 “You’re second wish has already been granted. You are no longer the key master. As for the ring, here it is.” The voice filled with contempt.
 “What’s the matter?” Colifla asked curiously.
 “you will take the ring and use it for you own purposes no doubt.”
 “I apologize, but I must.” With that she put the ring on and was transported to the main room where Vegeta, Goku, Gohan and Goten were being watched by Trunks. Colifla walked over to Trunks and with one swift chop to a pressure point in the neck he, too, was unconscious on the floor. “Sorry Trunks.” She whispered.
 Then she closed her eyes and they were all gone. The Colifla poke to the Voice, “Can you be freed Gate-master?”
 “No.” It replied.
 “Well, I’ll keep you company for a while.” She took off the ring and dropped it on top of a pile of dust.
 “you’re not going to go with your friends?” the voice was no longer big and booming. Now it sounded like a normal person.
 “I couldn’t bring that thing to Earth. It’s too dangerous.”
“You would sacrifice you life to keep your planet safe?”
 “Yes. I guess I would.”
 “Well, then, I guess I can justify this.”
 There was a small popping sound and she was back on Earth. Everyone was curious as to how she had gotten back and how all of the boys had gotten hurt. Colifla told Bulma to deal with the boys first and then she would explain everything.
 
 

 Meanwhile…

 
In the entrance to the maze the ring began glowing and the small pile of dust that it had landed on was beginning to form back into Sayain cells……
 
 
 

To be continued…………
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We hope.
