9/17/1098

11AM

in a mountainous region, Planet Earth.

Kakarot's pod has crash landed on Earth, Leon and Fasha's pods arrived safely as well but in a completely different country than Kakarots. A kindly old man has found the crash site and the crying baby inside, unharmed despite the deep deep crater he makes his way toward the pod not knowing what was inside til he was close enough to hear the crying. this man's name is Gohan.

Gohan: Oh my there's a baby inside! oh look at you.

Gohan picks up Kakarot and holds him up the child just laughs and tries to pull his whiskers

Gohan: Oh! well you look completely fine, how about you come live with me huh would you like that?

Kakarot just babbles but he looks happy.

Gohan: okay ill take that as a yes! my name is Gohan and... I think i'll name you Goku.

Gohan and Goku continue back towards home

Gohan: you must be hungry poor thing, dont worry ill take care of you.

Goku: ahhh waah.. g..goo pfffffpbt HAHAHAHA

Gohan: oh you silly monkey you! hahaha!

scene shifts to the crash site of leon and fasha's pods in an empty field near where Leon used to live they climb out of their pods in a bit of a daze, but fine.

Fasha: think anyone noticed that?

Leon: I dunno..

they climb out of the craters and look down, their pods are unusable suffering some kinda engine failure thats impossible for anyone on earth right now to fix. unaware that Capsule Corp possibly could, Leon decides to just reduce the pods to rubble so it simply looks like some space junk or meteorite.

Leon: People here are pretty suspicious of things they can't explain away with religion or whatever. that's just how people are, so it's best this way.

Fasha: We're stuck here then...

Leon: Maybe, for now.

Fasha: I wonder how the others are getting on...

Leon: they went to Zell, i feel bad but we DID tell em you and I were goin to Earth.

Fasha: love, im sure they're fine maybe they'll come find us one day.

Leon: I hope so, c'mon lets beat it we gotta change out of these saiyan clothes and blend in a bit better.

Fasha: do we really have to?

Leon: im not about to tell these people we're space aliens, that will not go down well. so yes its necessary. Don't worry if im right we landed pretty close to where i used to live, we'll find clothes there.

Leon and Fasha navigate through the woods they come upon the town its still night time due to timezone differences so they slip in unnoticed and into the Leon's home they change into more fitting clothes.

Leon: okay, that'll do.

Fasha: Are you sure? these are all men's clothes.

Leon: its a hunter's clothes just say you're a hunter.

Fasha: are people that stupid?

Leon: No its just what hunters wear around here man or woman.

Fasha: I suppose I could learn my way around a bow and arrow, gotta eat somehow.

Leon: not difficult ill teach ya.

Fasha: Im surprised this house was vacant, didn't sound like you left the army on the best terms figured they'd give it up to another knight.

Leon: i think... deep down they understood why I did what I did. So maybe they kept the house as I left it out of respect... i dunno.

some guards come in noticing people in the once vacant house, they drop their guard when they see Leon

guard: Lord Belmont!? you've returned!

Leon: Just Leon... is fine. remember im not longer a Lord hehhe...

guard: oh but.. it doesn't seem right to just call you Leon.

Leon: get used to it, so what gives? why is my house still.. uh my house?

guard: church didn't like you leavin but understood why, especially after you managed to stop the monster attacks out of respect they let you keep your house and all the stuff in it.

Leon: I appreciate that.. i guess i should tell them that myself but be kinda awkward goin back.

guard: People aint forgot what ya did Leon, you prevented more tragedies like what befell poor Sara.

Leon: yeah....

guard: oh, excuse me sir didn't mean to reopen old wounds..

Leon: it's fine, ill miss her but.. i've found love again.

guard: oh and a right charmin lady she is, whats ur name?

Fasha: Fasha

guard: unusual name, but i like it! welcome to Wallachia we're simple folk but hard workin and look out for our own. you'll like it here.. well good night.

Leon: night.

the guards leave to go back to their posts.

Fasha: didn't seem to care that much about my saiyan name..

Leon: nope. heh. well i guess we should turn in for the night.

Fasha: Leon, why do I hear chickens?

Leon: Oh! they fed my chickens! man its like I never left...

Fasha: thats kind of them.

Leon searches around, his pantry is stocked with food

Leon: ill be damned... no doubt a lot had to be thrown out in my absence though. wait no i remember i told them specifically not to let any food id left behind go to waste. i can only hope they uh.. didn't.

Fasha: anyway, im tired love.. lets change into some night clothes and hit the hay.

Leon: yeah...

they change into night clothes and bed down as they lay together Fasha suddenly gets very sad and can't restrain her emotions.

Fasha: Our home... Bardock.. Gine...

Leon: I know....

Fasha: did we do... all that we could?

Leon: Yes.

Fasha doesn't look sure but she nods and curls up next to Leon he puts his arm around her.

scene shifts somewhere else, an unknown planet the saiyans that managed to escape Vegeta emerge from their pods and take in the sights of their new world, sparkling with color and bountiful with life, unlike Vegeta that was ravaged and wartorn, the sight overwhelms them.

saiyan: this world... its gorgeous!

an older saiyan walks out and looks at the sights

old man: this is what vegeta used to look like, before all the foolish warring and fighting tore it apart. our world had a different name then.

saiyan: what was it?

old man: Planet Sedala. I vote we name this new world that, to distance ourselves from Vegeta and all he represented.

the saiyans talk amongst themselves for a bit then nod in approval

saiyan: we may have to travel to other worlds to find mates.. or any other saiyans that may not have followed us. theres just enough of us to keep a few generations going but..

woman: oh we'll survive, no matter what. we will survive... Frieza's genocide has failed we WILL rebuild.

the saiyans get to work building homes and starting over pretty much from 0. the new Planet Sedala has a lot of edible life which is a stroke of good luck for them.

scene shifts once again to Zell Riley and the others look around their new surroundings.

Riley: well, here we are.

Shawn: Leon and Fasha must have followed Kakarot to earth.

Elaine: they did say they were gonna live there.. i wish they came with us for now though. I miss em.

Bret: seemed like their minds were made up.

Riley: Leon said he had something important he needed to do, I trust him when he says it was important.

Shawn: Yeah. he's a real good guy, most importantly he and Fasha are alive our ships are in good shape.. its not like we'll never see him again!

Elaine: heh, yeah. siiigh.... Gine.. Bardock.

Shawn: Frieza... you monster.

Riley: lets not dwell on that, come on lets see if we can find a town or something.

9:00a.m.

Riley and her team break up into two teams. Riley and Elaine explore the area while Shawn, Bret and Sally explore another area. After hours of searching. They meet back up at their ship.

Riley: Did you all find anything?

Bret: No. Nothing but wildlife. No towns. No people.

Elaine: Yeah. It looks like some kind of mystic planet. I really don't think any race ever called this planet home.

Suddenly the sound of ships is heard. They look up and 3 ships come in for a landing.

Elaine: Look at that.

Bret: Saiyan ships at that.

Riley: Well at least we know others escaped.

The doors open and Saiyan's exit the ship. They are greeted by Riley and her team.

Saiyan Male: Hey everybody! Its Riley!

Saiyan Female: And her team!

Saiyan Male 2: Maybe we stand a chance to survive after all.

Saiyan Female 2: Thank you for fighting Riley. Thank you all.

Saiyan Female 3: Yeah. You all helped us escape.

Riley: Your all very welcome. I'm happy to see you all.

Saiyan Male: Is there any towns or anything here?

Elaine: We've been here for a whole day already and we've explored for miles. No towns or nothing. Just wildlife.

The Saiyan's look disappointed.

Riley: But...we can build one.

Everyone looks at Riley.

Riley: Yeah. If we all work together. We can build a town.

The Saiyan's smile as they exchange looks. They have hope.

Riley: Alright everyone. First thing we have to do is build houses. So we all need to go collect wood and stuff to build houses. If we break up into teams of 5. It shouldn't take long at all.

Saiyan's: Yeah!

Riley: Alright everyone. Let's get to work. We're given a chance to start a new life. Let's make the most of it and be thankful for our blessings.

Sally: Riley. What are we gonna do about food?

Riley: No worries Sally. The ships were packed with food. Our food supply should last longer enough for us to build houses and then we can start hunting and fishing to keep up our food supply.

Sally: I hope so.

Riley: Don't worry. It will be fine. Okay everyone. Let's go collect wood and other stuff to build with.

The Saiyan's move out and they begin to cut down trees to collect wood. Other's collect stone and stuff. Riley, Elaine, Sally, Shawn and Bret begin to collect wood as well.

9/18/1098

9:00a.m.

Leon is up early with Fasha teaching her the ins and outs of using a bow how to make arrows and proper care of both bow and arrow Fasha learns quickly so Leon decides to send her into the woods to hunt.

Leon: we'll need to keep our food supply up of course, but the pelts of animals can be sold for money which we'll also need. Horns too if you take a buck or bighorner or something. dont overhunt an animal to extinction and use every bit possible. I already showed you some examples, ill leave it to your judgement now.

Fasha: right, ill be back soon.

Fasha creeps through the forest, Leon returns home he begins working on a special bow for Fasha more suited to taking down larger animals in one shot to the vitals a bow only a saiyan could even draw the string back on.

Leon: And you... will be my greatest work yet. hahahaha..

Leon fashions the bow out of materials found here on Earth but pushed beyond the limits of what a human could ever use. wrought from strong steel instead of wood, Leon's work completes in a few hours, it is a bow well beyond even a master craftsman's dreams he finishes by adding the image of a hawk zeroing in on prey inlaid near the top of the weapon and filled in with black coloring even the bow string is made from steel he adds a ring so Fasha can pull back on it more comfortably. Leon wipes sweat from his brow and looks at the bow.

Leon: it's perfect. Hmm well that took awhile. i wonder how Fasha's getting on

Fasha returns to town with a horse pulling a cart full of pelts and meat wrapped up in cloth she approaches the store

merchant: woahhh that's a real nice haul m'lady, you sellin?

Fasha: Yeah, gotta make some cash somehow huh?

merchant: haha.. well these pelts are in good shape, i can take some of that meat too if you want.

Fasha: Hm, yeah wont be needing all of it.

merchant: okay lemme just crunch the numbers here..

the merchant tallies everything up

Merchant: right then, 2000 gold coins sound good to you?

Fasha: Yeah, ill take it.

they exchange the goods and Fasha pockets the money she waves goodbye as she returns home with the meat for dinner.

Fasha: Honey! im home!

Leon: how'd ya get on? i see you got quite a bit of meat there.

Fasha: Mostly venison, deer are plentiful. i only took out ones that were alone, but sometimes i wonder if they were really alone...

Leon: ehh thats all ya can do, like you said deer are plentiful anyway im more worried about stuff like elk they're not as common.

Fasha: Yeah, by the way

Fasha tosses the coin purse loaded with money

Leon: Nice, feels heavy.

Fasha: 2000.

Leon: Awesome.

Fasha: the human's money is rather... pretty.

Leon: its made out of solid gold.

Fasha: Get outta town!

Leon: yeah, saiyan money was.. was it galactic credits or something?

Fasha: it was once king vegeta bowed down to Frieza anyway.. i dont remember what our old money was.

Leon: Right right. anyways, i got a present for my big game hunter.

Leon presents the bow he was making

Fasha: Woahhhh....

Leon: this is a bow only a Saiyan can use, its pushed well beyond human limit. take it, bring down some bigger meaner more valuable game.

Fasha: OH hell yes... this is amazing dear, thank you.

Leon: D'aw schucks.

Fasha plants a kiss on her big man

Fasha: So, what are we even savin up money for?

Leon: new clothes if we need it, groceries, Fall is coming so we'll need some warmer blankets and stuff. there is a tax collector that goes around but its not that much really. I already paid him for the month.

Fasha: We might need a steadier source of income love. especially once winter arrives.

Leon: I thought about that, I don't wanna go back to the army theirs is not a cause i believe in anymore.

Fasha: Leon i noticed the blacksmith in this town he's looking for someone to take over for him, he's.. getting pretty old and sickly.

Leon: I noticed that too, ya think he'll take me on? Old codger's pretty particular about his work.

Fasha: Show him that bow you made, he'll have to take you on as an apprentice once he sees it.

Leon: hmm okay ill go

Leon takes the bow over to the old blacksmith's shop he's hammering away at some orders for the army, swords and what not. he coughs as Leon approaches.

Leon: It's been awhile old man.

the blacksmith looks up at Leon with a weak smile.

Roy: Didn't know you'd come back to town Leon.. been busy hammerin away for the army...

Leon: what else is new? is there no end to their wars?

Roy: Dont seem to be, but its kept my pockets full. family fed. I guess I can't complain too much.

Leon: I hear that. So, you ever thought about taking in an apprentice? you aren't getting any younger.

Roy: I have but nobody's really worked out too well so far. these kids dont wanna learn why do ya ask?

Leon: I need a steady source of income and i know my way around a forge. had to, keep my weapons and armor in top shape on the field, plus I didn't really trust anyone else to look after em.

Roy: that a fact? you want to apprentice under me? hmm....

the old man grunts and pulls his snow white beard

Roy: Show me an example of your work, your finest.. and you got a deal.

Leon: I have it.

Leon sets the bow down on the table near Roy Roy gets up his tired eyes have a look of excitement a glint not seen in many many years.

Roy: you made this? this is amazing! but theres no way a normal person could pull the string back, you flew too far to the sun kid. But.. I tell you what you got potential, i dunno what giant of a man you made this bow for but its obviously a very finely crafted weapon, ill take you on. you'll start bright n early tomorrow, i gotta finish out these orders.

Leon takes the bow back

Leon: thank you.

Roy waves goodbye he returns to pounding away at steel on his anvil

Roy: now... what DID he make that bow fer? hmmmm
