Disclaimer: I do not own any part of The DBZ franchise! I do however own Tasha!
A/N: (UPDATE) It's been so long! I'm sorry it took me so long to update this story and make some proper changes! Please review! Constructive criticism is welcome! Please remember I was 12 or 13 when I first wrote these first 5 chapters. Needless to say I've improved since then (now being 18) and that is the reason why if you are new to reading this story the writing style changes drastically between chapters. This first chapter is different because I attempted to rewrite each chapter and improve them..but I quickly realized that I don't have the motivation to do that, so if you can stick with me for these first few cringe worthy chapters I promise they will get better!! With love, Mars~
Prequel (3rd person POV)
It was early in the morning, the peaceful silence of Mount Paozu was broken as a pained scream echoed out from deep within the forest. The scream came from a small house, in it was the woman whom the scream originated from; this was not just any woman however. This woman was the wife of the strongest man on Earth, Son Chi-Chi. She was in labor, bearing the second child of her and Goku. The news of a new baby was a pleasant surprise to the couple, especially since one of their closest friends, Bulma, had announced a few weeks prior to them finding out about their own baby; that she was also pregnant. Bulma had delivered her baby boy a month ago and now Chi-Chi herself was in labor!
Goku and Gohan were in a panic. They weren't expecting the baby for another week! The father/son duo ran around the small house, frantically searching for extra towels, a water basin, clean sheets, etc.
"Goku!" Chi-Chi cried out from her and Goku's bedroom, " Where's Dad?!"
Goku, who was currently holding all the supplies they needed in his arms, gave an uncertain "Uh..."
"Goku! WHERE IS MY FATHER?"
"He went to get the doctor, Chi!"
"I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!"
Goku and Gohan stopped dead in their tracks, looking at each other then in the direction of where Chi-Chi laid, "What?!" The they yelled simultaneously.
Chi-Chi gave a pained cry in response.
The two Son men ran to Chi-Chi, in an even more panicked state than they were already in.
"But-But, I don't know how to deliver a baby!" The full-blooded saiyan gulped.
"Well do something Goku!" Chi-Chi yelled at him through a very pained expression and clenched teeth.
Goku looked to his son, "Gohan, you wouldn't happen to know how to deliver a baby would you?"
Gohan fell onto the floor in disbelief, but quickly returned to his feet, "I'm not a doctor Dad!"
Just as the two men were about to lose their minds, the Ox King barged through the door with an older woman at his side, "Chi-Chi! I got the Doc!"
Gohan and Goku breathed a sigh of relief. Gohan was quickly shooed out of the room by the woman, as he was not allowed in the room until after the baby was delivered.
Hours later a small cry echoed through the Son household. The elderly woman wrapped the newborn up in one of the extra towels Gohan had gotten and handed the child to Chi-Chi. This woman had delivered Gohan, so she had already known that the Son's were a special family. So the sight of a tail on the newborn infant hadn't shocked her. The old woman gave a soft smile to Chi-Chi. "Congratulations Mrs. Son, a healthy baby girl."
Chi-Chi smiled tiredly as she held her daughter in her arms. Goku moved beside his wife, looking over the newborn. "A girl?" He questioned quietly. Chi-Chi nodded as she adjusted the infant in her arms so that her husband could see her face better. The newborn' eyes opened for the first time, revealing her dark ebony eyes. She looked straight to Goku. He smiled.
"Hello," he cooed softly as he stretched out his hand to gently tickle the baby's stomach. The newborn squirmed with a smile, "She's beautiful, Chi." Goku smiled at his wife, then gave a wince as the saiyaness gripped his finger tight, "And strong." He chuckled.
Gohan was next to walk in, being informed by the doctor that it was okay for him to go see his baby sister now. "I have a sister?" He asked with a smile, his mother nodded. The hybrid walked over to his parents.
"Do you want to hold her?" Chi-Chi asked her son.
Gohan looked at his mother than to the baby with uncertainty, "Are you sure? I've never—"
"Of course I am, now here, hold out your arms." Chi-Chi interrupted, Gohan nodded and did as he was told. "Support her head." Chi-Chi guided him softly.
Once the newborn was secure in her brother's arms, Gohan looked down at her. He let out a small chuckle, "She's so small." He then looked up to his parents, "What's her name?"
Goku and Chi-Chi looked at each other. They hadn't thought much of it. They weren't very good at names, Gohan was nameless for a couple of days...
"I like Tasha.."
Goku and Chi-Chi looked to their son in confusion. Gohan rocked the baby gently "I've been thinking about it for awhile. And Grampa once told me about my great-grandmother, Natasha."
Chi-Chi smiled, "Yes. I remember now. I never got to meet her, but I've heard such wonderful stories. Well, I like it. What about you Goku?" Chi-Chi looked up at her husband.
Goku took a moment to think about it, he then smiled "I love it."
Gohan smiled and looked down at the baby in his arms, "Hear that? We picked a name for you, Tasha. How do you like that?" Tasha smiled and started to laugh. "You like that name don't you! Tasha!" Gohan laughed "Tasha Son!" Gohan smiled "I promise never to let anything happen to you," He felt a hand lay on his shoulder, he looked up to see their Dad.
Goku smiled down at them both, "I promise too."
Unfortunately, Goku never got to fulfill his promise to his daughter. Less than a year later the strongest man on Earth died in his bed, and not too long after a dreaded duo appeared. May 12th, changed everything.. All of Earth's special forces were destroyed. They only survivor of the horrible battle was Gohan...
He emerged from the rubble of battle, blood running down his face. He barely had enough energy to stand up. The hybrid looked at around him at the damage that was done. Gohan dropped to his knees. "Tasha, I made you a promise..and I will keep it.." The ground beneath him began to shake, he clenched his fists tight. The world he knew was gone. So much was at stake now for him, he would never let this happen to the people he loved ever again. "I WILL!" The saiyan cried as he yelled in pain, tears rolling down his eyes as his energy sky rocketed; his hair changed to a golden blonde...
Chapter 1 (Tasha's POV)
The city was barren; buildings torn down, some on fire. Not a single life form walked the streets of this horrid world; mostly because they lay on the ground,lifeless, the cause of this horrible massacre? Androids.
Thirteen years ago, all of Earth's strongest fighters were killed in an horrible battle against these mechanical monsters. Ever since then, my brother has been fighting them. Everyday he pushes himself to get stronger, he wants nothing more than to destroy them. To be free from their reign. I admire my brother to say the least.. I just wish I was able to keep him safe as he does for me. I want to make him proud, proud of his little sister, the one who is able to take care of herself. Not having him worry about my well-being constantly. He has too much on his plate to worry about me all the time. He needs to worry about the a Earth and the survivors in it.
Don't get me wrong, my life hasn't been a complete Hell hole; I have a wonderful brother who went out of his way to keep my childhood from being consumed by just running and hiding. Fearing when they would find us and kill us, like most people. I had my childhood friend too. He was my best friend, he knew understood me and Gohan better than anyone else, except for maybe his mother. She was one of my father's closest friends, Bulma Briefs. Her son, Trunks was half saiyan like me and Gohan. But, like me, he knew what it is like to have never met our father. We both were only babies when our father's died. Trunks is a couple of months older than me, so naturally we grew up together.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as my brother called out to me, I was sitting in the window seal of a destroyed building as him and Trunks were talking, "Hey Tasha, you ready to go?"
I looked out to see an ever growing smoke cloud in the distance. I immediately knew the cause. I took a deep breath. Then looked back to him and Trunks. "Yeah. Let's go, Gohan."
With that we took off into the sky.
