Welcome to Gaia! ::

The children assembled at the table at once. They knew that this pizza was an incentive for them not to get into mischief like they did again, plus they got the notion that if they wanted pizza all they had to do was ask.

Meanwhile, back at the Bogard summer mansion, Vegeta had heard nothing about Terry and Dee needing to have another child and sought to train with Terry when he saw the two in the heat of passion.

Dee's instincts kicked in and created a force field around the room, threatening to hurt Vegeta if he took one more step closer. Vegeta closed the door immediately, thinking about this...reaction.

"She has never had to use the force field on me before. Only on Trunks or the kids when they...oh sweet Kami, don't tell me that this is..." Vegeta was tempted to take another look when Kogaku surprised him.

Kogaku barked then said, "No no, daddy. Do not enter there right now. Its for the safety of the galaxy."

"What do you know of it?!" Vegeta scolded, angry for not being informed sooner.

Kogaku led his father upstairs and told him everything he had heard. This angered Vegeta even more and he sought to "spar" with Iori.

"How dare that...that..." Vegeta was tempted to curse Iori, but knew if he finished his statement, the curse would rebound only to himself.

Meanwhile, after the customers had all gone away, including Trunks and Zane, Iori spoke with Corrigan about the business. Corrigan was more than happy to inform Yagami that they made more money today than any other thus far. "And..." Corrigan added, "It would seem that more customers had followed an orange colored rodent named Daxter. The dude was carrying a bug extermination pack on his back and that Daxter had a story that drew in even more customers! For a moment or two, I thought we were gonna need Yumi's help, but somehow, I managed."

Yagami smiled, "Very good work Corrigan." Then...for some strange reason, the one relic that Iori had kept above the fire place began to glow brightly.

Iori noticed and frowned. He wandered over to the sword and asked it, "What's the matter, old friend?"

A spirit being appeared from it and it spoke, "Master Yagami, I sense danger approaching the castle. Vegeta is one of them, but he is not the true threat. Its Wolverine and his new bride Noriko who wishes vengeance on you. As for the reason, I do not know."

Corrigan was at first afraid of the spirit, but then realized that it was a friend. The young Bogard asked the sword, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yagami darted a look to Corey who, for the first time, truly surprised him. The sword replied, "You...you have the blood of one called Empress Dee, correct?"

Corrigan nodded, "Yes, I am her son."

The sword continued, "Take me from the mantle, unsheath me and prepare for battle. You will assist Iori in this fight. Yumi is too far away to help and besides, she cannot wield me. You can, though."

Corrigan nodded and with Iori's help, Corrigan had the sword in both of his hands. Iori was reminded of the time that he had been captured the once by Rugal and how Dee took that same sword, a family heirloom no less, and sliced the chains and then Rugal in half.

"That sword likes you, Corrigan," Iori said, "It is said that long ago only a true Yagami, one with Yagami blood can wield it. You must have a third of my blood within you. Hmm...will wonders never cease this day?"

Sure enough, within moments after that, Wolverine was in the heat of battle with the pint sized warrior.

This was the distraction that Noriko needed. She sliced Iori's face good with her own sacred sword and almost instantly he fell to the ground in a slump. Corrigan didn't waver though. He was an even match for the mutant, but he was rather enjoying himself in this fight.

Smiling, Corey said, "Wow, I never thought I'd be in this intense of a fight with you, Wolverine! By the way...why are you and your wife so upset with us anyway? Did we accidentally serve you bad food?"

Always thinking of work, Corrigan wanted to somehow put things right with this fighter.

Wolverine snarled, "wouldn't you like to know?!"

Seeing through the kid's eyes, made Wolverine talk. He then sighed, replying, "Noriko tells me that you Yagamis are after her fortune."

Corrigan laughed, and parried another blow. He then said, "That is just too funny. There is no way we'd be after her fortune. I mean, like our business is in the food industry and we make a fortune of our own. Why would we want her fortune? I don't think the prices for the food here are too high."

Wolverine smiled, retracting his claws, "Always thinking of the customer, eh, kid?"

Corey nodded, "Of course. I mean, usually, its just me and Yumi running the food part, but we do have others who cook the food. If we were rude to any customers, we get scolded and it isn't pleasant. There was one time when..."

Yumi had given Corrigan an angry look to not go there and that it was personal. Corrigan shrugged, "Lets just say she got in big trouble for something she did about a month ago."

Wolverine then barked to Noriko, "You had better apologize to these people right this second! They have done nothing to you! Someone is trying to make a fool of us and it isn't these guys."

Noriko then stormed off, no apology either. Wolverine bowed to Corrigan then said, "Sorry for the trouble we caused you. Best get Iori some help though."

Then Logan aka Wolverine followed Noriko wondering what has gotten into her.

Corrigan quickly rushed to Iori's aid. He glared at Vegeta, and snarled. "You best wait till we can get Yagami some help. Meantime, explain to us why you are so upset."

Corrigan sighed, "Vegeta, the reason why we didn't tell you about it before Kogaku likely got to you first was because that wolf is really fast. Besides, the steakhouse was super busy. We couldn't leave. The reason why Terry and Dee must have another child is so that the balance is restored. I am sure that you don't want to have to face Cell again or anyone else that you'd rather have left in the HFIL because Dee and Terry were not responsible rulers. Iori had to really research what was happening. I assure you, we were going to tell you as soon as we had the next available moment, but...it just didn't turn out that way. I know how you feel about my mom and dad, but you really gotta be patient this time around."

It wasn't like the news helped, but deep down, Vegeta knew that Corrigan meant well. It also didn't help that Vegeta had a hard-on that he needed to satisfy.

Corrigan giggled, "Even more important than your sparring, Vegeta, you may want to satisfy yourself in a more personal matter. Your saiyan-hood is starting to rip through your spandex. Sit in one of the lounge chairs here and I will send you to a place where you first satisfy your happy place and then upon returning to the same chair, it will take you to your second destination."

Typing in the two destinations into a main processor on his wrist, awaiting for Vegeta to sit in one of the numbered chairs, Corrigan prepared to first take Vegeta to Ken's singles bar where Vegeta can get laid no problem and then to the Other World tournament ring where Corrigan knew a tournament was going on where Goku was entered.

Corrigan knew full well that Vegeta wanted to satisfy his thirst for revenge against Kakkorot aka Goku for many years now and the kid knew full well with how angry Vegeta was, nothing less would make the Prince happy.

Corrigan tried to think of all of the kings out there then laughed. He said, "If you don't count Iori as one of these kids you speak of, then there are no more. At least, not that I know of anyways."

Then he said, "Goku is one of Dee's kings, but he spends most of his time training in Other World. Vegeta will be as happy as a pig in mud once he's done at Ken's single's bar. Vegeta has been going on and on about how he wishes he could face Kakkorot one more time to settle the score. Luckily, I remembered Goku telling me when on his one-day trips that there will be a martial arts tournament in other world and if need be, send Vegeta there. So, I did. Too bad that tournament isn't on TV. I'd have loved to see it. Ah well, those are the breaks I guess. I see that eevee is looking like she wants a battle. Hmm...lets see if I can get one of mom's pokemon that feels the same way. I don't have a pokemon of my own yet, but I will someday. I know it. And I feel that Iori is kinda like a Pokemon anyway."

The young Bogard rushed down the tunnels and headed to Dee's Pokemon ranch. One of Dee's Lucario sensed Corrigan right away and walked up to him. Thanks to the way that Dee trained her Pokemon, they all can speak human tongue. Lucario asked, "What are you doing here, Corey? Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Not yet, Lucario. Yumi has a Pokemon of a normal type that wants to battle. Wanna have some fun and be my pokemon for it?"

"You mean, you don't have one of your own yet?"

Corrigan shook his head, "No, not yet. But, I have seen how mom has been training you, so, it should be fun."

Lucario sighed then said, "You better take this. Its the mega ring. With it, you can make me evolve into Mega Lucario where I will be of much better use to you."

Corrigan smiled, "Yay! Now lets kick Yumi's butt."

Lucario sighed again, but followed Corrigan back to the Yagami castle. Seeing the eevee made Lucario smile, "Ah, so...you must be Yumi's eevee," Lucario said to the Pokemon.

Lucario felt his attack power drop, and looked to Corrigan for a command. Corrigan nodded and used the mega ring. "Lucario, transform into Mega Lucario, then use drain punch!"

The fighting type Pokemon closed his eyes and transformed! "I am Mega Lucario!" He cried out, then immediately following that, used drain punch. Eevee was now into the yellow for health.

Using telepathic powers, mega Lucario said to Corrigan, "Very nice move, Corey. Hmm, you really did watch your mother's training skills with me. But, that eevee of your friends will evolve after this no matter what, you do know that right?"

Corrigan giggled, "Once you make your move, Yumi, my lucario is going to finish you! Eevee, you are a worthy opponent for being so young. I look forward to the day when we can travel together with Yumi as pokemon trainers. I bet you'd love that, wouldn't you? I know I would."

There was a small rasp in his voice, soon, even though not even close to when a normal boy has a voice change, Corrigan was going to have a man's voice.

(Voice wise, he sounds like Yuma from the Zexal series...err...Corrigan does)

Lucario couldn't move! He was in the red pretty quickly and was getting tired. Corrigan knew what to do, though, it wasn't going to go as well. He said, "Mega Lucario, use Aura Sphere!"

The Pokemon wondered why didn't Corrigan use a max potion or a full restore, but knew that Corrigan was pretty tough for a little kid. Yet, this kid seemed different, his voice was already changing.

Obeying, Mega Lucario used aura sphere, but it had a weaker effect than Corrigan wanted. Corrigan whispered, "Sorry, buddy. I tried my best."

Mega Lucario smiled as Sylveon used a second draining kiss, causing Mega Lucario to faint. "Good fight Yumi!" Corrigan said, "Whoa...cool! You have Sharingan, just like Sasuke! Wow!"

The kid meant it as a compliment, but Yumi suddenly had a worried look upon her face, "Just like Sasuke" he said, Yumi thought. She smiled anyway, and nodded, "You too, Corey. I mean...good fight."

Corrigan yawned and then stretched, "Well, I'm off to bed. G' Night Yumi!"

The kid waved and with Lucario in his arms, joined Corrigan for a well-deserved sleep.
