Chapter 2

"ANOTHER alien visitor? You would think they would leave Earth alone after awhile! Is this some sort of tourist attraction? 'Come to Earth, they can't stop you!' "

The sarcastic comment had been made by Bulma after Yamcha had related the story so far to her and Trunks.

"Bulma, he's not exactly here to take over. When we found him, he was dying!"

They stood outside Capsule Corporation, with the bright sun overhead. It had taken some time for Yamcha to find Bulma inside the gigantic building; he still found it hard to believe how large it was, even when he was inside. Bulma had decided to take a break from her work outside, where Trunks had been practicing; it was only after Dr. Briefs directed him that he'd looked outside. Now, Trunks looked disappointed. Probably hoping that it was someone he could fight, Yamcha thought.

Bulma's voice snapped him back to reality. "I know that he's not here to take over, but it seems that Earth is the only place that gets so many visitors, and it's frustrating to think that we're the ones who always have to take care of it!"

"I know, but who else can do it? They still look to Mr. Satan to take care of any new threat since he stole the credit for beating Cell, even though he's completely useless. If they found out, he would be the first to investigate this 'new danger'. Even if they were harmless, he would probably screw up the first contact. And that could make them dangerous. Think about it; even if he isn't human, Goku would definitely be a better representative for Earth."

"I know, but...don't you ever get tired of protecting people who don't even care about you? Every time you and the others go to fight, no one knows about it...or like you said, someone else takes the credit."

"I'm just glad someone else is alive to take the credit. Besides, it doesn't matter who does, we know the truth. I have to go and tell Goku and Gohan about this. Goodbye."

With that, Yamcha left to spread the message.

Yamcha finally got home several hours later. Man, what a day. I never realized how spread out everyone is! I can't believe I got lost on the way to Gohan's....Still, he'd managed to tell everyone about what had happened today. He would check with Kuririn how the stranger was doing tomorrow; for now, he had to keep going with his training. He started again with the situps.
