CHAPTER XLIV
KALERAGETSUSEI (PART TWO)
NEW BEGININGS
Vegeta, mightiest prince of the Saiyan race stood frozen like a statue as he faced one of his worst fears and nightmares: worms. There were just five of them and the things had to be well over ninety feet long but because he was petrified with fear and panic, the prince lost his transformation and fell to the ground.
"N-No, p-please! HELP!" and with that, Vegeta took off running after firing blindly at the enemy. "KAKARROT!"
"Whoa, my prince, stop, slow down," a voice spoke calmly.
Vegeta had crashed into something solid and found himself on the floor clinging like a frightened child to whatever he had run into. He felt something pulling his tail, which caused him to blink.
"Kakarrot, p-please, don't let them get me, I beg you!" Vegeta cried as he buried his face into his mate's loose gi shirt.
Kakarrot held his mate then caught sight of the gathered crowd. "My queen, where's our chamber?" he asked and Sunrissa beckoned for him to follow her.
"Here, it's between the king's and my own. I've never seen him this frightened, Kakarrot. It hurts. What could have frightened Ichimi in such a manner?" the queen fretted.
Kakarrot stood at the doorway to the prince's chamber and held his mate close. "I'll let you know, your majesty, right now, I think the Monkrion should be tended to," the large Saiyan remarked.
"Yes, and thank you for finding my lost grandchildren. I knew that girl had birthed them but I never knew what she had done with them," Sunrissa nodded then left the couple.
Kakarrot carried his love to a huge royal blue and teal covered canopy bed where he went to lay his delicate charge down but Vegeta fought to hang on to him.
"Vegeta, let go, I'm just laying you down. I'll be right here, love." Kakarrot took hold of his prince's tail, then stroked it in a soothing manner.
Vegeta loosened his hold on his mate and allowed himself to be placed on the bed, however, he still draped one arm around Kakarrot's neck and with his free hand, he wiped away the tears that fell from his eyes. "I'm sorry. I panicked," was all he said by way of an explanation.
"No, something frightened you and I only know two things that would cause you to wear a face of sheer terror and one is those creatures we had encountered in the pink dough-boy's stomach, am I right?" Kakarrot asked as he sat beside his love,
"You know me too well, baka. How did I ever let you get to me? You're right, of course. When my mind registered what those beasts were, I reacted like a child and ran to you," the prince said in a near whisper as he lay against the feather down royal blue silk covered pillows. "D-did anyone see me in that state?" the prince blushed deep scarlet with embarrassment.
Kakarrot sat up and leaned to take off his mate's boots followed by his gloves. "Just her majesty, I don't think anyone else actually noticed it was you, but may I let you in on a little secret? I have a major fear myself. The fear of losing you. When you died on Namek, your sacrifice to Majin Buu and the two near misses after the Cerulean Earthquake, I felt empty and alone. The aloneness was such that I knew a piece of me was gone. When they wished everyone back to life after the Buu thing, I was afraid you'd reject me and forget everything we had gone through, especially in the conception of Teray," Kakarrot said as he slipped from the bed and padded his way to a bar. "Here, love, this'll calm your nerves."
The prince took the glass his mate offered him and smiled when he saw the cherry-brown liquid swirling within. Vegeta passed the glass under his nose and inhaled the scent. "Ambresia, there's nothing in the universe so intoxicating," Vegeta glanced at his large mate. "Correction," he smiled as his tail caressed Kakarrot's face.
"I love you, too, Vegeta. Well, let's forget about the monster nematodes and go see our children and new sibs," Kakarrot smirked and Vegeta nodded as he sipped his drink then offered his mate some.
After a much-needed shower, for once without physical interaction, the royal couple adorned matching royal purple short kimono styled robes and sky blue spandex dress suits, black boots and gloves, then the two ventured to the medical wing to view both their septuplets and their new sibs.
"What d'ya think? It feels strange to be a new 'Tousan at my age?" Vegeta Ou smirked as he stood by his son.
"They're beautiful, my king. Yours could be a mini me of your fused warrior Vegedock while Bardock's looks like a Bargeta to me," the prince smirked.
"Well, that takes care of naming two of them, how about the other two?" Bardock asked.
"Remember the twins I lost with Velmy, koi? Their spirits are within our other two. They were named Vidalia and Valencia, so that is what they will be named again to fulfill the lives that had been taken away. Now your mother, God love her well meaning soul, has invited the entire population of Little Vegeta and they've brought that blue haired banshee with them as well as the other human warriors," the king informed his son and son's mate.
"Oh, great. We're just getting to this place and your queen wants to throw a welcome home party! Where are my children and the Monkrion?" Vegeta asked as the four of them exited the medical chamber.
"Well, it's about time you showed up, didn't you learn any manners when you were on Earth? It's not polite to keep your guests waiting!" a shrill voice sounded that halted the Saiyan men of royalty. "Well, aren't you going to greet us?"
The four royals slightly turned to look over their shoulders at the offending noisemaker, however, before they could reply... "Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Kakarrot, grandpa!" a tiny voice sounded, the voice was actually a series of clicks and mews.
The prince, his mate and their Outusans turned to look at the crowd of small beings gathered in front of them. A bright smile lit the stern faces of the royal Saiyan men. "Greetings, my chibis. How are we faring, and Lady Kaylene, how does the rest of the family?" the prince asked a small bipedal orange furred being with a darker colored tail that lashed from side to side with childish glee.
"They are well and waiting for... What are they?" the child peered around the prince and noted the being with the strange colored hair as well as those who resembled her Uncle Kakarrot.
"They are from a planet called Earth, this is Prince Trageta, his mate Goten, their chibis, Uncle Kakarrot's eldest children from his first mating and their children and other warriors Uncle Kakarrot had fought with on Earth. If you will all follow me, I'm sure the cooks have prepared the celebration feasts," Vegeta nodded, took the little creature's hand and led the guests to the dining chamber.
"Vegeta, I'm a guest here, you know, I didn't have to come to offer you a contract with my company for capsule merchandise to aid with the settlement of this planet," Bulma screeched.
"No, you didn't have to come, but you humans are such curious and nosey creatures that you couldn't resist. Take note, female, you now and no longer have any meaning or significance in my existence. I told you before that you were just housing material for my offspring and had I known Ceraina was my Saiyan chosen one the day I had met her again, you and I would have never been. I gave you two chimps. I could never bond with you, although like my mate I felt something for you because of my kids. We both know it was never a Romeo and Juliet type thing between us," the haughty prince informed his former mate.
"But I felt it when you died at the hands of Majin Buu, a deep slash in my heart as if something had been ripped out, and I heard how you flipped on Goku when he offered to show the Old Kai some not so flattering pictures of me. I heard it said that you nearly ripped your mate's head off. How can you stand there and deny what we had?" Bulma began to cry.
Vegeta rolled his eyes skyward. "K-san, love, take these to the dining chamber and I'll deal with this crisis," the prince said to his mate, however, all Bulma heard was a series of soft growls and clicks. As soon as Kakarrot, the king, Bardock, Goten, Trageta, Trunks and a large host of demi-Saiya-jin as well as the other guests from Earth, had departed, the prince rounded on the blue haired creature. Folding his arms in his trademark haughty gesture, the prince remarked, "Just because I had to live on that out of the way mud ball you call a home, doesn't mean I was a native! After my own sacrifice and the fusion with Kakarrot, I realized the real reason I had hated Kakarrot for so long. I was mate hunting and after Raditz had been killed, the only other option was his brother but for a Saiyan, a potential mate had to either be physically stronger or weaker than the one doing the hunting. I dominated in our situation because I was the strongest and took from you what I wanted when I wanted it, which wasn't often after I had found mates who could challenge me for dominance. To flatter your ego, it did bother me when Kakarrot had told the Old Kai he would give the old thing revealing photos of you. I did freak a bit when the big boy told me that Super Buu had absorbed or killed everything that meant anything to us, but it was just because I had flashbacks of losing Vegetasei, my birth home. Frieza had destroyed my home, my sire, Bardock, the sire to my mate and Matusan to my elder brother. That fiend had told me in vivid detail how he had watched with sadistic glee as his death ball swallowed Bardock whole, how with one beam he had sliced the king down, all that triggered my decision to fuse with Kakarrot, not because Buu had taken any of you. You, Itasia, take this female to freshen up then bring her to the dining chamber!" Vegeta ordered a near Itonian servant who bowed and complied.
Raking a hand through his waist length spiked hair that still plumed like a candle flame and puffing his thick tail in agitation, the prince turned on this booted heel and headed to the gestation tank area where he could gaze at his kids and sibs. As he walked, his mind plagued him. Why had he felt he had to explain anything to that weak Earth female? The two of them no longer had any kind of relationship and he was once again among those that white perverted snake had taken from him, so why did he now feel so agitated? Did he still feel something for that weakling? No, that was impossible, he couldn't even reach completion without fear that he would kill her, and he knew he was a rougher than average partner. Why was his heart jumping out of his chest at just being in such proximity with her? Shaking his head, Vegeta looked up and into the tanks that held the cubs. He couldn't help the smirk on his face and shook his head. They were going to be the most spoiled of royal brats and with the elder four! God help the universe. Then his eyes traveled to his new sisters and brothers. They would also be forces to be reckoned with. Just then Vegeta felt something about his waist. Well, it couldn't be his tail as that was wrapped around his leg, then he looked and found two arms around his neck and smiled.
"I thought I told you to go to dinner?" he purred as he leaned back into the embrace.
"I couldn't without you," was the whispered reply in the prince's left ear as something soft and wet caressed the rim of that same ear. "She still affects you, doesn't she? Get over her, you belong to me, now, and I'm a jealous mate," Kakarrot growled softly as he felt his mate's despair.
"Then let's go before you eat me. We'll come see our babies later after the main celebration," Vegeta slowly turned in the embrace and smiled into the handsome face he found looking back at him. "I love you and thank you. You've always been my savior, so to speak. I'm glad you were shipped off so that we may have what we have now," the prince snuggled against the broad chest. "And you're right, she does still affect me but not as you think. I told her things she had wanted to hear for so long and you know, now, I don't care anymore who knows. The Saiya-jin are alive again, you've renounced those alien ways I tried so hard to beat out of you and we are where we belong," Vegeta couldn't help the sigh that left his lips as he inhaled is mate's scent.
"Now that we're together, I'm glad, too. Hey, before we go, can I ask you something?" Kakarrot asked his love who nodded. "Well, I read your journals while we were coming here and in the Saiyago journal you wrote about knowing of the survivors of our race. How?"
Vegeta sighed. He had known that this question would come about and he had done a fair job of keeping it secret and only confided in the pages through which his mate had read. He nodded and spun from the embrace. "Come, koi, let's walk." The prince wrapped his tail about his mate's waist and his arms about K-san's broad right upper appendage then led them from the gestation chamber. "The answer is yes, I knew of Saiyan survivors even before I was taken away by that iced over pervert. That freak merely wiped out those who had remained on the planet when he struck, which included Elites and first class warriors, your Outusan and some medics. The Ou had sent out many of the lower level warriors on purge missions to planets our race controlled after he had ascended to the throne. Not only that, contrary to popular belief, my sire was and still is a good man. When I was still a chimp and just before he sent me to be the race's sacrifice, we stood at a huge observation window. We gazed out that window and hundreds if not thousands of Saiyan pods were leaving the planet. Ou said they contained the weaker members of our race and they were being sent away to protect them from enemies like that Icejin and others," Vegeta related.
"Why did you never go reunite them sooner?" Kakarrot asked as they moved down a long corridor where they could smell luscious foodstuffs in the air.
"I had one goal in mind and because it was for their protection. I had encountered many of them but if I had let out that Saiya-jin still remained, bounty hunters and enemies alike would have descended on the planets on which they resided and wiped them out. I wouldn't do that, so, the only being I knew I could trust with my life if need be, was appointed the task of 'babysitting', if you will, the survivors of our race. That being is my cousin, King Aegar. Plus, me being a Super Elite and the Prince of our race and full of devilish pride, all the survivors were of common birth and so were beneath my notice like you were once, but that fact very quickly changed. And you know what the goal was that preoccupied most of my existence on Earth? To be harder, faster, better and stronger than you but now, you and I, we are equals and no one can touch us! We are the most powerful of the entire Saiyan race. That white perverted snake didn't destroy nor kill us and what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!" the prince declared. "Have I answered your query satisfactorily, sir?" the prince asked as the two had stopped in front of a cavernous opening.
"Quite satisfactorily, my prince. Shall we?" the large Saiyan indicated the room in front of which they stood.
Vegeta inclined his head and brushed passed his mate then stopped short. The room was as large as six-football fields-back on Earth-and every corner was occupied. There was a group of chimps, the demi-Saiya-jin and the Earth woman and the Earth warriors, ancient Saiya-jin, the royal elites, the Monkrion, the Stygians and the Minerva-jin as well as several groups the prince did not know. Vegeta Ou looked up and caught sight of his offspring.
"All hail Prince Vegeta and his mate, Kakarrot, the mightiest of our people and our rescuers!" the king had stood and the people followed suit.
The two slowly entered the room amidst the howls and shrieks of their race. Vegeta was awestruck, he had never realized so many members of the race had been spared as he himself had only encountered a few hundred or so during his destruction missions for Emanu. Vegeta fought back his strong emotions as he stood regally in front of his people then he lifted his hand to silence them.
Swallowing hard to compose the quaking excitement in his body, the prince opened his mouth. "Children of Saiya, let this day be written in history that we have prevailed! The white worm of evil thought to wipe us out because of our ever increasing strength and that we posed a threat to his empire. My people, it pleases your prince to inform you that not only is that vile creature, his brothers and odious sire in the next dimension and among other devil's spawn, but we have reclaimed hundreds of the planets he had made us conquer in his name. I have encountered a being who had the power to undo the evil that pervert had forced us to commit in his name and restore the universe to the way it had been before that leech and myself had destroyed it. We will rebuild our empire, however, we will not be planet destroyers but we will protect the universe. All this can wait, for now, children, eat, drink and celebrate as only true Saiya-jin can! This night New Saiya is born!" Vegeta Ouji declared then motioned for the race to sit, which was followed by servants dishing out more food than many had seen in sometime.
After ingesting food that could feed four hundred large planets, the king announced the families to depart and follow the queen and Prince Kale to a battle arena the two had mentioned during dinner. The arena was twice the size of the Coliseum in Rome on the planet Earth and was filled to capacity within a matter of moments. The royal family all sat on one side, however Sunrissa and Onya both stood on the battle turf. Unlike most battle arenas where the stage was marble or cement, the battle area in this arena was dirt with boundary lines drawn. Once all had settled, Onya raised her arms in silence.
"Visitors from Earth, Golden Saiya-jin from Minerva, Silver Saiya-jin from Stygia and all the rest of you children who have found your way home, as His Highness, Vegeta no Ouji had greeted you, so do I, Sunrissa, Queen of all Saiya-jin. This is a very happy day for the Saiyan race as it signifies our rebirth in the universe. No more will we fall prey to beings such as the perverted Ice-jin. Their king and his three elder princes are a memory, but others remain and we must end their reign before they can do to other races what he had done to us. It was never our intention of wiping life from the universe that gave us life. It was a blow to our mighty race and the royal house when that white worm of death demanded that we sacrifice the royal heir to him in exchange for our freedom. You must thank your king that he felt ill about that snake's vow to leave us in peace once he had our heart in his cold, vile clutches. Your king and myself along with a mighty warrior felt in our gut that Frieza meant no good. Our king had gathered as many as he could not long after our prince had been taken, and sent us out on purge missions with orders never to return, but some of us did, only to find ourselves homeless. The king had previously sent out several thousand of our weaker warriors to protect them from beasts like Frieza, thus many of us departed for Saiyan safe planets and out planets the Ice- jin had no interest in, such as Planet Earth. That tiny little out of the way planet was one we had sent one of our third class infants off to purge. That infant's name was Kakarrot, and he was the youngest son of Commander Bardock, who had been killed by Frieza in trying to defend the planet, and Lady Onya, my aunt," the queen began her speech.
"My son, Kakarrot, when he was yet a chimp, had been adopted by an Earth native, and in trying to escape the kind being who had taken him in, my chimp fell down a deep crevice, bashed his head and lost his memory. Had he not forgotten his mission, we would not have had a refuge planet or the first Super Saiyan in millennia, in addition to Broli, who had been born into that coveted title," Onya continued.
"Through some miracle, our prince found himself stranded on that little planet after he had initially fought and lost to Kakarrot in his pre-Super Saiyan level. Our prince then became obsessed with the strong warrior, followed him through space after the warrior made level, but alas, was never able to capture the prize, thus he set out himself to capture the golden flame of SSJ and trained until he nearly killed himself. It is also through Kakarrot, in some way, that I have my tender hearted prince that I birthed and our king had allowed me to raise back from the torture he had endured at the hands of that perverted beast. Thank you, Kakarrot. And, speaking of my Ouji-san, had our prince's demi-Saiyan son, the son birthed of a weak Earth female, not stumbled onto a shop on that tiny planet that sold items from the home planet, our prince would not have found those Saiya-jin that resided on Earth. Children of Saiya, now to be known as Kaleragetsu-Saiya-jin, it is my greatest pleasure to welcome you all home!" Sunrissa held her hands high then bowed to the crowd.
The arena was filled to capacity, however, every Saiyan stood and returned the queen's bow, then the king rose, beckoned to his mate and all offspring to the next two generations. The people remained standing until Vegeta Ou motioned them to sit.
"My people, my children, it is good to be home once again and I know to many of you I seemed to emulate my predecessor's rule, but the opposite was true. I, among us all, along with my female born son, have the strongest reason to hate the very race that spawned that white devil, Frieza. May he and his followers all rot in the darkest hell there is. What I am about to reveal to you will both shock and repulse you but remember, it was endured for you and what that hell spawn did to the Ouji and myself, he also did to you, my people. Frieza, when Ichison was but a Saiyan two year old still being groomed and fashioned to rule you someday, raped your king and molested your prince," the Ou spat then ripped his son's gi top from his shoulders to expose the scars that had never faded.
A wide cinema sized view screen had been set for the benefit of those beings that did not possess the acute Saiyan eyesight. Bulma screamed and the other Earth-jin cringed in horror. Those who had encountered Frieza had seen what he had done to the natives of Namek. The encounter gave the Earth groups some insight, and even though they had seen how Frieza tormented and tortured his victims, nothing prepared them for the sight of the deep gashes and holes tattooed into what must have once been flesh as tender as a baby deer's. Bulma hid her face in Mirai Trunks' shirt. No wonder Vegeta never allowed the lights on whenever they coupled, nor did she notice such angry marks the first time they had experienced one another's bodies. She knew Frieza had been horrible, she'd seen that herself when Captain Ginyu had force switched bodies with her, but she never imagined... No wonder he hated to be touched in any fashion... Until now and looking at the screen, she noticed how her old friend was caressing her former mate as if telling him everything would be alright, plus that explained why he was always in out and gone like the wind whenever he would share himself.
"Oh, Vegeta, I had no idea," the blue haired genius gasped.
Vegeta Ouji stood trembling; however, he knew that in order for their people to fully comprehend the horror that was Frieza, they had to see the results. Kakarrot stood behind his small mate as the prince projected regal calm the large warrior knew the prince was far from feeling.
'I'm very proud of you, Vegeta, remember that and I love you. Be strong, mi amour,' Kakarrot's mental voice poured soothing and calm through their bond link.
'Thank you, koi. I couldn't do this alone and certainly not if you weren't here by my side. Je t'ieme' Vegeta Ouji replied through the link.
Shoulders squared, head resting high and all the pride, arrogance and strength of his being, Vegeta, Saiya-jin no Ouji stood for all eyes in the arena and around the universe to see what he had suffered for his race and his family. Suddenly...
"Death to all remaining Ice-jin for destroying our pride, our prince and our people!" a voice in the crowd hissed, which then triggered growls, snarls and roars from all gathered Saiya-jin.
The king powered up to SSJ-1 and roared for silence. "Silence all! Time will soon arrive, my ones, for us to collect our blood debt from those slithery ice snakes. We had our own agenda that did not include killing for pleasure and that we did when the odds were truly against us as a last resort. I'd much rather keep slaves but since it was my predecessor who had initially aligned with the Cold kingdom, I had to make very subtle changes as sudden changes would have caught that tyrant's attentions and brought down his wrath a lot sooner than it had. Systematically and slowly, I sent all the lower classes off planet. I sent the second class on purge missions and gave option to the first and elite classes, excluding Bardock's and my own families, as to whether they wanted to remain with me or not, and that was after that freak had taken our beloved prince away. Many of you left not soon after the alliance was made, such as the 'Golden Ones,' who had foreseen what was to become of such a thing and had warned of Frieza's treachery. I commend you all," the Ou bowed to his people. Then he turned to his son, "Vegeta, Ichison, I-"
"No, sire, there is nothing to be sorry for. Our people need to see the scars that my body bears for them. I was the sacrifice our king had to make just as our Creator had to sacrifice His only Son to save our immortal souls from a burning lake of fire, so I was given to Frieza to save you all, in a sense. My capture gave our king the time he needed to send those of you in the lower classes off planet. However, I do not put myself on the scale with my Creator, He is the only one, I merely make reference to His sacrifice in comparison to our own. When I was with Frieza, I knew when that worm had taken out the planet, the Ou and I were deeply bonded as 'Tousan and son. When the link went silent on the king's end, I knew that dirt bag had killed him and all I had cared about. When he informed me of how my people had been obliterated by a giant comet slamming into the planet, I knew he was lying. He had merely wiped out those elites and royals who had remained on planet as well as Bardock, who valiantly tried to save our home single handedly. Frieza never knew of he numerous infants and purge parties the king had sent off, especially..." The prince turned to the large delicious looking Saiyan behind him and fell against his chest and inhaled that warrior's scent. Kakarrot embraced him tightly with no care for whatever eyes were watching. "Thank you, mate of mine," his voice was barely a husky whisper.
Kakarrot held his love and threw a white cape around the prince's shoulders to cover his upper body and the scars, then took him from the others and back to their seats where the larger one held his mate tightly to calm him down.
"Take care of him, Kakarrot, he needs your strength," the king nodded.
"It will be my honor to do so, my king," Kakarrot nodded as his tail entwined around his mate.
"So be it. Now, for the important business, from this day forward, your royal family will be touchable and the palace will have an open door policy. Should you have need to seek out your rulers, you shall have no fear if you just come to the palace with complaints, ideas or if your children need dedicating into the fold. We shall gather together during all meal times to bond and share as a race. There is a training center much like the one we had on that long ago planet. This center is for the training of our chimps and infants older than three Saiyan months of age. All open and breeding males with children, who were not with us on Planet Minerva a mere six months ago (Saiyan months like Saiyan years are 2 = 1), stand with your brood," the Ou commanded and hundreds of males and some females stood. "You of breeding capability need not fear being put to death as both your king and prince are open and breeding males with children and very strong male mates. Be proud of who you are as it is both an honor and a privilege among our people to be both Matusan and Outusan to a new life. You shall not be scorned for being seen with your mate, in fact, you would be scoffed at if you were not seen with him. This day, your king and his mate and your prince and his mate have birthed eleven chimps between us. Bardo-san and I have birth two sets of twins and our sons have birthed both triplets and quads. We shall dedicate all chimps that have been deprived of a birthing ceremony because of the circumstance in our past. Now, hear me, my children. Welcome Prince Raditz, my first born son of my mate, Bardock," the king motioned for his extra large son to stand.
Raditz stood with difficulty as he was carrying his mate's cub and had little Sabrianna entwined in his hair. The large warrior bowed his head as he could do little else. "Thank you, my Ou. As you can see, my mate, Tormataeo, and I are carrying and will be birthing in two months (Saiyan time). Nice healthy chimps to give the royal septuplets good competition," the large Saiyan replied as he reclaimed his seat beside an equally heavy Tormataeo.
"Open males, this is your time, we are the majority on the planet and we are the strongest nearest the females. Those banes of a male's existence have long held a secret power. A transformation that only they could reach because they were extremely emotional creatures has been tapped into by four open males. The first to reach this pinnacle of power was our beloved prince. Due to circumstances beyond his control, his deeply hidden emotions surfaced, which sent him over he edge. Kakarrot had teleported our prince to a desolate planet and the Ouji exploded. Without moonlight, the prince transformed. After those of us who had been killed with the old planet had been returned to this plane, Bardock and myself shared a deep hurt that triggered our transformation. The only way to attain this form is to remember the most heart wrenching event in your lifetime, focus on it and let those tender emotions you had been conditioned to believe were weaknesses take control. Once that happens, your body will explode with the power of sorrow and you will transform into what my son has named Pilzara, a giant were-gorilla," King Vegeta smiled.
"Now it is possible for open males to attain such power. Be seated all. If it pleases my king and mate, I shall continue," the queen spoke and was permitted. "Children, return to your seats," she turned to her grand and great grand children who complied. Once the youngsters had been seated, the queen continued. "As males, especially Royalty and the Super Elite, you had all been raised to suppress your more tender emotions except when bonded to a mate. We females had not been raised so as we had been seen as lower or no class citizens, so we could get away with murder and would not lay suspect. It is with great pleasure that I tell you that as a race given a second chance, the things we had once been forbidden to do, we may do, mainly, not be ashamed to show our emotions or how we feel. Anyone caught in sorrow shall be comforted, in joy they shall be joined and in love, they shall be embraced. The old king was the bastard who had made such laws and it is his offspring that is correcting such and as his people, we shall support him!" the queen completed.
"Long live Vegeta Ou, King of all Saiya-jin!" the entire crowd, except for the humans, cheered.
The king held his arms up for silence. "My children, my female had always told the chimps she had birthed for the Royal House of Vegeta, to use their emotions to attain the unattainable. Femzoro, which is the female's ultimate power, is attained only through the expression of deep emotion and I know that we all have deep emotional scars from what that white devil did to us and how he tried to destroy our mighty race. If not personally, think of our Ouji and who scarred his once unblemished body as you have seen. My children, there are still thousands of your brothers and sisters scattered throughout the cosmos. After celebration, the first order of business will be to organize search and rescue parties to retrieve our missing tribes and families. Now we shall move onto more pleasant business, the formation of a council. When I mention your name, stand. Since my female has been running things in my stead she should be the head of council, followed by her aunt, Onya, Bardock's female, our granddaughter, Teresahan shall come after Onya. The remaining council shall be comprised of Queen Imione, of the silver haired Saiya-jin, Princess Ariadne of the golden haired, highly intelligent Saiya-jin, and Naranja, of the orange haired tribe. Bruinia of the Bruinos (brown) haired tribe, Colorada of the Rojos (red) tribe and Coppena of the Copper haired Saiya-jin shall represent their branch. Yannish, I need a female from the Monkrion," Vegeta Ouja requested of the elder of the Monkrion branch of the Saiyan race.
"Inoshuahn, the sister to Onishuay, the Outusan of your grandchildren's Outusan, Onishua, and my own sister Florissa, my liege," Yannish, the elder of the Monkrion replied with a bow.
"So noted. Garliqua, I appoint you to slot twelve, my mother, Queen Vegetanna shall assume slot thirteen and Irisanna shall be fourteen. Are these names acceptable to you, my queen and lady mate?" Vegeta no Ou asked his female who bowed.
"They are, my Ou and shall be trained to the old way. Greetings, my daughters!" the queen bowed and her appointed councilwomen returned her bow.
"Right. The queen shall place the rest of you daughters of Saiya as she sees fit. Now, after my mates and I leave the arena, we expect two warriors to take battle stances to begin the tournament of reunion," Vegeta Ou nodded, then turned with his mates and sister-in-law to leave the arena.
Mirai Trunks and Jahrid were the first to accept the challenge to battle, thus leapt onto the surface of the arena and squared off. Bulma gasped and shot to her feet in a rage.
"Trunks, what the hell to you think you're doing? Are you crazy? Don't you remember the day you came back from the future and got your ass handed to you by Saiya-jin half your size?" she screamed in her banshee voice.
Those Saiya-jin who had lived on Earth and those who had lived in the same country where Little Vegeta was located understood the Earth tongue and gasped in shock at the outburst. How dare this tailless being disrupt their fun? She would have to learn her place and Cilvanti no Oujo, princess of Saiya-jin, was just the one to teach her. The young princess had no qualms over blasting this female to oblivion or beyond, thus the chimp took matters into her own hands and fired a warning blast toward the loudmouthed Earth-jin.
"Bulma, when will you learn to keep that pie hole of yours stuffed shut?! You will get killed and I'll help them!" it was a very pissed off 18, hand extended to carry out the threat.
"I don't want my son to get hurt, 18, is that to much to ask?! He's already been beaten up once before by a bunch of those snot nosed monkey brats!" the blue haired harridan snarled.
That did it! That was the final straw that worked the young Oujo's last bit of patience. Phasing from her seat with her brother in her shadow, Cilvanti flew across the stadium.
"Bitch, I blasted you once, don't give me a reason to do it again!" the pissed off princess snarled as she hovered in front of Bulma. Hand stretched, blast ready to fly and the same went for Endive.
Bulma looked at the child that had once been her own, whose features had once mirrored her own. Now, those features were a perfect blend of her ex-husband and former best friend. Her second love after Yamcha, Goku, now called that ridiculous carrot name, hadn't even bid her the time of day. Looking at this child and the one that floated beside her, she noted how the two had their tails wrapped around one another. The boy's tail was around Cilvanti's waist while hers was around his wrist. The boy was definitely all Vegeta with bluish silver highlights mingled with the mahogany and black strands: the highlights visible only because the suns on Planet Kaleragetsusei were positioned in such a way as to caress the strands and bring forth all hidden colors. Bulma gasped, cast a cautious glance at 18 and she realized the three were serious and that if she so much as blinked, she would be history.
"Cilvi, Endive, your poppa the prince says he will deal with the banshee and to get back to your seats," a new voice spoke. Bulma looked to see a youngster who was covered with orange fur, the hair on its head spiked in a flame like the prince's and her tail was the color of baked pumpkin in a pie, a sort of creamy texture by the look of it.
The two turned their heads slightly to regard the interruption and nodded, then turned their attention back the irritating human. "Consider yourself warned, human scum! One more outburst like that and my prince will deal with you," and with that, the three children flew back to their parents.
"How dare that child! Her sire needs his ass kicked into the next dimension! Ubuu, I know you can do it, attack!" Bulma snarled to Yamcha's new significant other.
"I don't take orders from you and if I fight anyone, it'll be my Yamcha. I refuse to do anyone else's work for them anymore," Ubuu retorted and snuggled up to his koi.
Bulma seethed then returned to her seat. Without another word, the king raised his fisted regal hand then brought it downward in a yanking motion to signal the start of the fight. Upon seeing that, the two combatants flew towards one another then commenced into a full battle. Several punches, kicks and chi blasts later found Mirai on the ground and Jahrid the victor, although the younger warrior was barely standing himself. The crowd roared and cheered for the half-breed's victory. Lower ranked warriors who could not hold strongly in battle were off to the sidelines waiting to assist the injured, thus ran to remove Mirai from the field and aid Jahrid in his exit as well.
The next set of contenders was Broli and Turles. This battle was highly charged as Broli had ascended to SSJ-3 while his mate was just at level 1. The match was over not soon after it had begun with Broli sweeping an easy victory due mainly to his larger size and greater power level.
As warriors and fighters themselves, the Z sensi who had ventured to the new Saiyan planet, sat awestruck at the sheer artistry with which the Saiyan race battled. Well, they had seen Goku (Kakarrot), Vegeta and most of their offspring battle or spar from time to time, and they were just blown away! It was as if the Saiya-jin race had been specially created for warfare and battle. Now that the race was re-channeling that skill for protection instead of mindless destruction, their displays left the humans stunned, even Bulma had to admit she was impressed. As the fights progressed, Krillin stood to his feet as he witnessed a familiar head of blonde take to the arena. With her was a black spike haired form that on closer inspection turned out to be Princess Teresahan, her opponent was his own daughter, Marron. Shock was a mild term to describe just what shot through the second shortest Z warrior; it was sheer, sickening panic.
"Marron, no! She'll skewer you!" At that instance, the short man was pulled downward.
"Let her fight, Krillin, it's in her blood. She knows the Oujo is more powerful than she is but they've been friends for so long, I don't think the princess will hurt her," 18 spoke to allay her husband's fear.
Krillin slumped in his seat as he heard the whoosh of air that signaled the fight had begun. The combatants were just as fierce and unyielding as the males had been, only they were just out to display their skill where many of the males were battling for the right to be dominant in their mateship. The fight between Teresahan and Marron ended when both females knocked one another clear of the ring and into the audience under their parents' noses. Krillin leapt over the wall to assist his daughter while Kakarrot did the same; both dads lifted their princesses to carry them off the field amid shouts of applause. Vegeta Ouji smirked and nodded to himself as he waited for his mate to return.
The next set of fighters was Queen Sunrissa and Onya whose battle lasted until the queen found herself under a chi ball that signified the end of the match. The audience erupted into shouts of blood but Onya extinguished the ball and held a hand to assist her niece to her feet then the two went to the sidelines for healing. The battles would have continued, however, powerful roars like that of an F-5 tornado split the air and the Saiya-jin looked around. Vegeta Ou stood and sliced his hand across the field.
"Play time is over for now, my dear ones. Let us go rest and feast. Those who wish to may remain to engage in private spars among themselves. We shall meet later this day to commence. Dismissed," the Ou shouted, nodded to Bardock, who rose to stand with his king and mate then the two departed.
The crowd followed and servants waited to escort the guest to changing rooms and bedchambers for which the tired Earth-jin were grateful. Both the intensity of the suns and the 300x gravity of Planet Kaleragetsusei was beginning to take its toll on fragile human bodies despite the aid of gravity pill that gave the body the resistance it required to withstand such heavy air. After the crowd had left, the prince, who had remained, noticed several chimps, chibis and cubs had remained, least of all his own. With a nod from the high prince, several children, young and old took to battle in a free for all. At that minute, Kakarrot returned to his mate to watch the little ones fight and to feed their own four month old cubs who were the size of human eight month olds and displaying the intelligence of that stage. Vegeta rested his head on his mate's shoulder and breathed in his sent. The large fighter put the arm that was not supporting their daughter around his love and leaned to inhale the prince's fragrant flame of hair. Servants that had also remained in the arena brought trays of snack foods to those adults who remained to watch the chimps battle.
"It's good to finally be home. I've missed them all so much, koi," Vegeta sighed as he fed Chardonblis a stick with a dark blue cream at the end of it.
"I can feel how happy you are, love, and so am I! I never knew I had so much family and that I was actually loved and missed. When 'Tousan and I bonded, I saw that before his death, we had passed one another and knew that he loved me. On Earth, I never even dared to dream I'd ever see or meet him but after my sacrifice to Cell, I did meet him and we talked after a good fight," Kakarrot smirked as he fed Roma the same stick/blue cream combo Vegeta was giving her brother.
Vegeta regarded his mate with bewilderment. "You never told me you and Bardock had met! I didn't see it during our exchange! The prince huffed.
"You're not the only one who can pick and chose what memories to share. He was ashamed of me and of what I had become. He rejected me. That pain tore at me, deeper than the realization of the fact that I had left behind the one that gave me his heart, along with two beautiful children. 'Tousan told me that unless I leave that worthless Earth shrew and reclaim my Saiyan birth right, that I was worse than Talanon excrete in his eyes. I guess that meant that I was lower than a low class baka or an idiot," the big Saiyan sighed as he focused his sights on a battle between Cilvanti and Pan and Endive and Fagiolo.
Vegeta caressed his mate with his tail then pulled him down for a kiss. "You're not that worthless. You did finally leave her for me and brought Goten for Trageta. Thank you and he never hated you, you know. Like me he was disappointed and wanted you to realize the Earth-jin could never fully appreciate your power like a Saiyan could. He was trying to get you to realize that you were just wasting your talents defending a planet that could never do anything for you. He came to me in a dream the night before you came to me and asked me to show you what no other being in the universe could show you and that was how to be a Saiyan. Ruthless, yes, strong, definitely but blended with compassion and mercy in a redirected form. You needed to kill without thinking for once, to unleash Kakarrot who had been hiding behind Son Goku for all those years. You unlocked my heart by engaging me in the most intense battle I had ever had. No one had ever stood up to me, to Raditz or to Nappa the way you all had. Raditz disappointed me when he died because I felt that there was no force created strong enough to take him down, ot her than Frieza. We heard the battle, every crunch and bone splitting kick and chi blast. We also heard that you were holding him when Piccolo sent his blast at the pair of you. That's when I formulated the plan to try and win you. After you so easily defeated that idiot Nappa, I knew I had to have you, had to make you mine no matter. When I found that mine was mated to such a creature as that hellcat, I cringed. I immediately hated her because she had what belonged to me. I only stayed on Earth to be with you, then after the boys were born and I had moved out of that woman's house, I had to find a way to unleash the hidden you and free you from that human jail. Little did I realize that by attempting to free you that you freed me and the heart you insisted that I had buried beneath the surface and only let show when the two of us were together. You freed me, love, just as I have freed you. Disappointed?" the prince, asked after his long response.
"Not in the least, chibi mi. Look at how much I've gained! Both my parents, four sisters I didn't know I had are alive. Six children from the most beautiful creature I have ever seen in my life. He has also given me three of my own and two of his from previous matings, plus an entire planet to train and level up to SSJ and the most sought after prize our race has to offer. Because of him, I now have my very first children plus two generations to follow them. Disappointed, no. Extremely blessed, yes. Come, let's call the kids together and go find something more to eat," Kakarrot smiled, kissed the prince, then the pair stood and emitted a series of whistles and clicks. This brought all battle to an immediate halt, all fighters lined up, brushed themselves off then followed the royal couple from the arena and to their homes or the places in which the were to stay with their families during their time on the new home planet.
CHAPTER XLIV
KALERAGETSUSEI (PART TWO)
NEW BEGININGS
Vegeta, mightiest prince of the Saiyan race stood frozen like a statue as he faced one of his worst fears and nightmares: worms. There were just five of them and the things had to be well over ninety feet long but because he was petrified with fear and panic, the prince lost his transformation and fell to the ground.
"N-No, p-please! HELP!" and with that, Vegeta took off running after firing blindly at the enemy. "KAKARROT!"
"Whoa, my prince, stop, slow down," a voice spoke calmly.
Vegeta had crashed into something solid and found himself on the floor clinging like a frightened child to whatever he had run into. He felt something pulling his tail, which caused him to blink.
"Kakarrot, p-please, don't let them get me, I beg you!" Vegeta cried as he buried his face into his mate's loose gi shirt.
Kakarrot held his mate then caught sight of the gathered crowd. "My queen, where's our chamber?" he asked and Sunrissa beckoned for him to follow her.
"Here, it's between the king's and my own. I've never seen him this frightened, Kakarrot. It hurts. What could have frightened Ichimi in such a manner?" the queen fretted.
Kakarrot stood at the doorway to the prince's chamber and held his mate close. "I'll let you know, your majesty, right now, I think the Monkrion should be tended to," the large Saiyan remarked.
"Yes, and thank you for finding my lost grandchildren. I knew that girl had birthed them but I never knew what she had done with them," Sunrissa nodded then left the couple.
Kakarrot carried his love to a huge royal blue and teal covered canopy bed where he went to lay his delicate charge down but Vegeta fought to hang on to him.
"Vegeta, let go, I'm just laying you down. I'll be right here, love." Kakarrot took hold of his prince's tail, then stroked it in a soothing manner.
Vegeta loosened his hold on his mate and allowed himself to be placed on the bed, however, he still draped one arm around Kakarrot's neck and with his free hand, he wiped away the tears that fell from his eyes. "I'm sorry. I panicked," was all he said by way of an explanation.
"No, something frightened you and I only know two things that would cause you to wear a face of sheer terror and one is those creatures we had encountered in the pink dough-boy's stomach, am I right?" Kakarrot asked as he sat beside his love,
"You know me too well, baka. How did I ever let you get to me? You're right, of course. When my mind registered what those beasts were, I reacted like a child and ran to you," the prince said in a near whisper as he lay against the feather down royal blue silk covered pillows. "D-did anyone see me in that state?" the prince blushed deep scarlet with embarrassment.
Kakarrot sat up and leaned to take off his mate's boots followed by his gloves. "Just her majesty, I don't think anyone else actually noticed it was you, but may I let you in on a little secret? I have a major fear myself. The fear of losing you. When you died on Namek, your sacrifice to Majin Buu and the two near misses after the Cerulean Earthquake, I felt empty and alone. The aloneness was such that I knew a piece of me was gone. When they wished everyone back to life after the Buu thing, I was afraid you'd reject me and forget everything we had gone through, especially in the conception of Teray," Kakarrot said as he slipped from the bed and padded his way to a bar. "Here, love, this'll calm your nerves."
The prince took the glass his mate offered him and smiled when he saw the cherry-brown liquid swirling within. Vegeta passed the glass under his nose and inhaled the scent. "Ambresia, there's nothing in the universe so intoxicating," Vegeta glanced at his large mate. "Correction," he smiled as his tail caressed Kakarrot's face.
"I love you, too, Vegeta. Well, let's forget about the monster nematodes and go see our children and new sibs," Kakarrot smirked and Vegeta nodded as he sipped his drink then offered his mate some.
After a much-needed shower, for once without physical interaction, the royal couple adorned matching royal purple short kimono styled robes and sky blue spandex dress suits, black boots and gloves, then the two ventured to the medical wing to view both their septuplets and their new sibs.
"What d'ya think? It feels strange to be a new 'Tousan at my age?" Vegeta Ou smirked as he stood by his son.
"They're beautiful, my king. Yours could be a mini me of your fused warrior Vegedock while Bardock's looks like a Bargeta to me," the prince smirked.
"Well, that takes care of naming two of them, how about the other two?" Bardock asked.
"Remember the twins I lost with Velmy, koi? Their spirits are within our other two. They were named Vidalia and Valencia, so that is what they will be named again to fulfill the lives that had been taken away. Now your mother, God love her well meaning soul, has invited the entire population of Little Vegeta and they've brought that blue haired banshee with them as well as the other human warriors," the king informed his son and son's mate.
"Oh, great. We're just getting to this place and your queen wants to throw a welcome home party! Where are my children and the Monkrion?" Vegeta asked as the four of them exited the medical chamber.
"Well, it's about time you showed up, didn't you learn any manners when you were on Earth? It's not polite to keep your guests waiting!" a shrill voice sounded that halted the Saiyan men of royalty. "Well, aren't you going to greet us?"
The four royals slightly turned to look over their shoulders at the offending noisemaker, however, before they could reply... "Uncle Vegeta, Uncle Kakarrot, grandpa!" a tiny voice sounded, the voice was actually a series of clicks and mews.
The prince, his mate and their Outusans turned to look at the crowd of small beings gathered in front of them. A bright smile lit the stern faces of the royal Saiyan men. "Greetings, my chibis. How are we faring, and Lady Kaylene, how does the rest of the family?" the prince asked a small bipedal orange furred being with a darker colored tail that lashed from side to side with childish glee.
"They are well and waiting for... What are they?" the child peered around the prince and noted the being with the strange colored hair as well as those who resembled her Uncle Kakarrot.
"They are from a planet called Earth, this is Prince Trageta, his mate Goten, their chibis, Uncle Kakarrot's eldest children from his first mating and their children and other warriors Uncle Kakarrot had fought with on Earth. If you will all follow me, I'm sure the cooks have prepared the celebration feasts," Vegeta nodded, took the little creature's hand and led the guests to the dining chamber.
"Vegeta, I'm a guest here, you know, I didn't have to come to offer you a contract with my company for capsule merchandise to aid with the settlement of this planet," Bulma screeched.
"No, you didn't have to come, but you humans are such curious and nosey creatures that you couldn't resist. Take note, female, you now and no longer have any meaning or significance in my existence. I told you before that you were just housing material for my offspring and had I known Ceraina was my Saiyan chosen one the day I had met her again, you and I would have never been. I gave you two chimps. I could never bond with you, although like my mate I felt something for you because of my kids. We both know it was never a Romeo and Juliet type thing between us," the haughty prince informed his former mate.
"But I felt it when you died at the hands of Majin Buu, a deep slash in my heart as if something had been ripped out, and I heard how you flipped on Goku when he offered to show the Old Kai some not so flattering pictures of me. I heard it said that you nearly ripped your mate's head off. How can you stand there and deny what we had?" Bulma began to cry.
Vegeta rolled his eyes skyward. "K-san, love, take these to the dining chamber and I'll deal with this crisis," the prince said to his mate, however, all Bulma heard was a series of soft growls and clicks. As soon as Kakarrot, the king, Bardock, Goten, Trageta, Trunks and a large host of demi-Saiya-jin as well as the other guests from Earth, had departed, the prince rounded on the blue haired creature. Folding his arms in his trademark haughty gesture, the prince remarked, "Just because I had to live on that out of the way mud ball you call a home, doesn't mean I was a native! After my own sacrifice and the fusion with Kakarrot, I realized the real reason I had hated Kakarrot for so long. I was mate hunting and after Raditz had been killed, the only other option was his brother but for a Saiyan, a potential mate had to either be physically stronger or weaker than the one doing the hunting. I dominated in our situation because I was the strongest and took from you what I wanted when I wanted it, which wasn't often after I had found mates who could challenge me for dominance. To flatter your ego, it did bother me when Kakarrot had told the Old Kai he would give the old thing revealing photos of you. I did freak a bit when the big boy told me that Super Buu had absorbed or killed everything that meant anything to us, but it was just because I had flashbacks of losing Vegetasei, my birth home. Frieza had destroyed my home, my sire, Bardock, the sire to my mate and Matusan to my elder brother. That fiend had told me in vivid detail how he had watched with sadistic glee as his death ball swallowed Bardock whole, how with one beam he had sliced the king down, all that triggered my decision to fuse with Kakarrot, not because Buu had taken any of you. You, Itasia, take this female to freshen up then bring her to the dining chamber!" Vegeta ordered a near Itonian servant who bowed and complied.
Raking a hand through his waist length spiked hair that still plumed like a candle flame and puffing his thick tail in agitation, the prince turned on this booted heel and headed to the gestation tank area where he could gaze at his kids and sibs. As he walked, his mind plagued him. Why had he felt he had to explain anything to that weak Earth female? The two of them no longer had any kind of relationship and he was once again among those that white perverted snake had taken from him, so why did he now feel so agitated? Did he still feel something for that weakling? No, that was impossible, he couldn't even reach completion without fear that he would kill her, and he knew he was a rougher than average partner. Why was his heart jumping out of his chest at just being in such proximity with her? Shaking his head, Vegeta looked up and into the tanks that held the cubs. He couldn't help the smirk on his face and shook his head. They were going to be the most spoiled of royal brats and with the elder four! God help the universe. Then his eyes traveled to his new sisters and brothers. They would also be forces to be reckoned with. Just then Vegeta felt something about his waist. Well, it couldn't be his tail as that was wrapped around his leg, then he looked and found two arms around his neck and smiled.
"I thought I told you to go to dinner?" he purred as he leaned back into the embrace.
"I couldn't without you," was the whispered reply in the prince's left ear as something soft and wet caressed the rim of that same ear. "She still affects you, doesn't she? Get over her, you belong to me, now, and I'm a jealous mate," Kakarrot growled softly as he felt his mate's despair.
"Then let's go before you eat me. We'll come see our babies later after the main celebration," Vegeta slowly turned in the embrace and smiled into the handsome face he found looking back at him. "I love you and thank you. You've always been my savior, so to speak. I'm glad you were shipped off so that we may have what we have now," the prince snuggled against the broad chest. "And you're right, she does still affect me but not as you think. I told her things she had wanted to hear for so long and you know, now, I don't care anymore who knows. The Saiya-jin are alive again, you've renounced those alien ways I tried so hard to beat out of you and we are where we belong," Vegeta couldn't help the sigh that left his lips as he inhaled is mate's scent.
"Now that we're together, I'm glad, too. Hey, before we go, can I ask you something?" Kakarrot asked his love who nodded. "Well, I read your journals while we were coming here and in the Saiyago journal you wrote about knowing of the survivors of our race. How?"
Vegeta sighed. He had known that this question would come about and he had done a fair job of keeping it secret and only confided in the pages through which his mate had read. He nodded and spun from the embrace. "Come, koi, let's walk." The prince wrapped his tail about his mate's waist and his arms about K-san's broad right upper appendage then led them from the gestation chamber. "The answer is yes, I knew of Saiyan survivors even before I was taken away by that iced over pervert. That freak merely wiped out those who had remained on the planet when he struck, which included Elites and first class warriors, your Outusan and some medics. The Ou had sent out many of the lower level warriors on purge missions to planets our race controlled after he had ascended to the throne. Not only that, contrary to popular belief, my sire was and still is a good man. When I was still a chimp and just before he sent me to be the race's sacrifice, we stood at a huge observation window. We gazed out that window and hundreds if not thousands of Saiyan pods were leaving the planet. Ou said they contained the weaker members of our race and they were being sent away to protect them from enemies like that Icejin and others," Vegeta related.
"Why did you never go reunite them sooner?" Kakarrot asked as they moved down a long corridor where they could smell luscious foodstuffs in the air.
"I had one goal in mind and because it was for their protection. I had encountered many of them but if I had let out that Saiya-jin still remained, bounty hunters and enemies alike would have descended on the planets on which they resided and wiped them out. I wouldn't do that, so, the only being I knew I could trust with my life if need be, was appointed the task of 'babysitting', if you will, the survivors of our race. That being is my cousin, King Aegar. Plus, me being a Super Elite and the Prince of our race and full of devilish pride, all the survivors were of common birth and so were beneath my notice like you were once, but that fact very quickly changed. And you know what the goal was that preoccupied most of my existence on Earth? To be harder, faster, better and stronger than you but now, you and I, we are equals and no one can touch us! We are the most powerful of the entire Saiyan race. That white perverted snake didn't destroy nor kill us and what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!" the prince declared. "Have I answered your query satisfactorily, sir?" the prince asked as the two had stopped in front of a cavernous opening.
"Quite satisfactorily, my prince. Shall we?" the large Saiyan indicated the room in front of which they stood.
Vegeta inclined his head and brushed passed his mate then stopped short. The room was as large as six-football fields-back on Earth-and every corner was occupied. There was a group of chimps, the demi-Saiya-jin and the Earth woman and the Earth warriors, ancient Saiya-jin, the royal elites, the Monkrion, the Stygians and the Minerva-jin as well as several groups the prince did not know. Vegeta Ou looked up and caught sight of his offspring.
"All hail Prince Vegeta and his mate, Kakarrot, the mightiest of our people and our rescuers!" the king had stood and the people followed suit.
The two slowly entered the room amidst the howls and shrieks of their race. Vegeta was awestruck, he had never realized so many members of the race had been spared as he himself had only encountered a few hundred or so during his destruction missions for Emanu. Vegeta fought back his strong emotions as he stood regally in front of his people then he lifted his hand to silence them.
Swallowing hard to compose the quaking excitement in his body, the prince opened his mouth. "Children of Saiya, let this day be written in history that we have prevailed! The white worm of evil thought to wipe us out because of our ever increasing strength and that we posed a threat to his empire. My people, it pleases your prince to inform you that not only is that vile creature, his brothers and odious sire in the next dimension and among other devil's spawn, but we have reclaimed hundreds of the planets he had made us conquer in his name. I have encountered a being who had the power to undo the evil that pervert had forced us to commit in his name and restore the universe to the way it had been before that leech and myself had destroyed it. We will rebuild our empire, however, we will not be planet destroyers but we will protect the universe. All this can wait, for now, children, eat, drink and celebrate as only true Saiya-jin can! This night New Saiya is born!" Vegeta Ouji declared then motioned for the race to sit, which was followed by servants dishing out more food than many had seen in sometime.
After ingesting food that could feed four hundred large planets, the king announced the families to depart and follow the queen and Prince Kale to a battle arena the two had mentioned during dinner. The arena was twice the size of the Coliseum in Rome on the planet Earth and was filled to capacity within a matter of moments. The royal family all sat on one side, however Sunrissa and Onya both stood on the battle turf. Unlike most battle arenas where the stage was marble or cement, the battle area in this arena was dirt with boundary lines drawn. Once all had settled, Onya raised her arms in silence.
"Visitors from Earth, Golden Saiya-jin from Minerva, Silver Saiya-jin from Stygia and all the rest of you children who have found your way home, as His Highness, Vegeta no Ouji had greeted you, so do I, Sunrissa, Queen of all Saiya-jin. This is a very happy day for the Saiyan race as it signifies our rebirth in the universe. No more will we fall prey to beings such as the perverted Ice-jin. Their king and his three elder princes are a memory, but others remain and we must end their reign before they can do to other races what he had done to us. It was never our intention of wiping life from the universe that gave us life. It was a blow to our mighty race and the royal house when that white worm of death demanded that we sacrifice the royal heir to him in exchange for our freedom. You must thank your king that he felt ill about that snake's vow to leave us in peace once he had our heart in his cold, vile clutches. Your king and myself along with a mighty warrior felt in our gut that Frieza meant no good. Our king had gathered as many as he could not long after our prince had been taken, and sent us out on purge missions with orders never to return, but some of us did, only to find ourselves homeless. The king had previously sent out several thousand of our weaker warriors to protect them from beasts like Frieza, thus many of us departed for Saiyan safe planets and out planets the Ice- jin had no interest in, such as Planet Earth. That tiny little out of the way planet was one we had sent one of our third class infants off to purge. That infant's name was Kakarrot, and he was the youngest son of Commander Bardock, who had been killed by Frieza in trying to defend the planet, and Lady Onya, my aunt," the queen began her speech.
"My son, Kakarrot, when he was yet a chimp, had been adopted by an Earth native, and in trying to escape the kind being who had taken him in, my chimp fell down a deep crevice, bashed his head and lost his memory. Had he not forgotten his mission, we would not have had a refuge planet or the first Super Saiyan in millennia, in addition to Broli, who had been born into that coveted title," Onya continued.
"Through some miracle, our prince found himself stranded on that little planet after he had initially fought and lost to Kakarrot in his pre-Super Saiyan level. Our prince then became obsessed with the strong warrior, followed him through space after the warrior made level, but alas, was never able to capture the prize, thus he set out himself to capture the golden flame of SSJ and trained until he nearly killed himself. It is also through Kakarrot, in some way, that I have my tender hearted prince that I birthed and our king had allowed me to raise back from the torture he had endured at the hands of that perverted beast. Thank you, Kakarrot. And, speaking of my Ouji-san, had our prince's demi-Saiyan son, the son birthed of a weak Earth female, not stumbled onto a shop on that tiny planet that sold items from the home planet, our prince would not have found those Saiya-jin that resided on Earth. Children of Saiya, now to be known as Kaleragetsu-Saiya-jin, it is my greatest pleasure to welcome you all home!" Sunrissa held her hands high then bowed to the crowd.
The arena was filled to capacity, however, every Saiyan stood and returned the queen's bow, then the king rose, beckoned to his mate and all offspring to the next two generations. The people remained standing until Vegeta Ou motioned them to sit.
"My people, my children, it is good to be home once again and I know to many of you I seemed to emulate my predecessor's rule, but the opposite was true. I, among us all, along with my female born son, have the strongest reason to hate the very race that spawned that white devil, Frieza. May he and his followers all rot in the darkest hell there is. What I am about to reveal to you will both shock and repulse you but remember, it was endured for you and what that hell spawn did to the Ouji and myself, he also did to you, my people. Frieza, when Ichison was but a Saiyan two year old still being groomed and fashioned to rule you someday, raped your king and molested your prince," the Ou spat then ripped his son's gi top from his shoulders to expose the scars that had never faded.
A wide cinema sized view screen had been set for the benefit of those beings that did not possess the acute Saiyan eyesight. Bulma screamed and the other Earth-jin cringed in horror. Those who had encountered Frieza had seen what he had done to the natives of Namek. The encounter gave the Earth groups some insight, and even though they had seen how Frieza tormented and tortured his victims, nothing prepared them for the sight of the deep gashes and holes tattooed into what must have once been flesh as tender as a baby deer's. Bulma hid her face in Mirai Trunks' shirt. No wonder Vegeta never allowed the lights on whenever they coupled, nor did she notice such angry marks the first time they had experienced one another's bodies. She knew Frieza had been horrible, she'd seen that herself when Captain Ginyu had force switched bodies with her, but she never imagined... No wonder he hated to be touched in any fashion... Until now and looking at the screen, she noticed how her old friend was caressing her former mate as if telling him everything would be alright, plus that explained why he was always in out and gone like the wind whenever he would share himself.
"Oh, Vegeta, I had no idea," the blue haired genius gasped.
Vegeta Ouji stood trembling; however, he knew that in order for their people to fully comprehend the horror that was Frieza, they had to see the results. Kakarrot stood behind his small mate as the prince projected regal calm the large warrior knew the prince was far from feeling.
'I'm very proud of you, Vegeta, remember that and I love you. Be strong, mi amour,' Kakarrot's mental voice poured soothing and calm through their bond link.
'Thank you, koi. I couldn't do this alone and certainly not if you weren't here by my side. Je t'ieme' Vegeta Ouji replied through the link.
Shoulders squared, head resting high and all the pride, arrogance and strength of his being, Vegeta, Saiya-jin no Ouji stood for all eyes in the arena and around the universe to see what he had suffered for his race and his family. Suddenly...
"Death to all remaining Ice-jin for destroying our pride, our prince and our people!" a voice in the crowd hissed, which then triggered growls, snarls and roars from all gathered Saiya-jin.
The king powered up to SSJ-1 and roared for silence. "Silence all! Time will soon arrive, my ones, for us to collect our blood debt from those slithery ice snakes. We had our own agenda that did not include killing for pleasure and that we did when the odds were truly against us as a last resort. I'd much rather keep slaves but since it was my predecessor who had initially aligned with the Cold kingdom, I had to make very subtle changes as sudden changes would have caught that tyrant's attentions and brought down his wrath a lot sooner than it had. Systematically and slowly, I sent all the lower classes off planet. I sent the second class on purge missions and gave option to the first and elite classes, excluding Bardock's and my own families, as to whether they wanted to remain with me or not, and that was after that freak had taken our beloved prince away. Many of you left not soon after the alliance was made, such as the 'Golden Ones,' who had foreseen what was to become of such a thing and had warned of Frieza's treachery. I commend you all," the Ou bowed to his people. Then he turned to his son, "Vegeta, Ichison, I-"
"No, sire, there is nothing to be sorry for. Our people need to see the scars that my body bears for them. I was the sacrifice our king had to make just as our Creator had to sacrifice His only Son to save our immortal souls from a burning lake of fire, so I was given to Frieza to save you all, in a sense. My capture gave our king the time he needed to send those of you in the lower classes off planet. However, I do not put myself on the scale with my Creator, He is the only one, I merely make reference to His sacrifice in comparison to our own. When I was with Frieza, I knew when that worm had taken out the planet, the Ou and I were deeply bonded as 'Tousan and son. When the link went silent on the king's end, I knew that dirt bag had killed him and all I had cared about. When he informed me of how my people had been obliterated by a giant comet slamming into the planet, I knew he was lying. He had merely wiped out those elites and royals who had remained on planet as well as Bardock, who valiantly tried to save our home single handedly. Frieza never knew of he numerous infants and purge parties the king had sent off, especially..." The prince turned to the large delicious looking Saiyan behind him and fell against his chest and inhaled that warrior's scent. Kakarrot embraced him tightly with no care for whatever eyes were watching. "Thank you, mate of mine," his voice was barely a husky whisper.
Kakarrot held his love and threw a white cape around the prince's shoulders to cover his upper body and the scars, then took him from the others and back to their seats where the larger one held his mate tightly to calm him down.
"Take care of him, Kakarrot, he needs your strength," the king nodded.
"It will be my honor to do so, my king," Kakarrot nodded as his tail entwined around his mate.
"So be it. Now, for the important business, from this day forward, your royal family will be touchable and the palace will have an open door policy. Should you have need to seek out your rulers, you shall have no fear if you just come to the palace with complaints, ideas or if your children need dedicating into the fold. We shall gather together during all meal times to bond and share as a race. There is a training center much like the one we had on that long ago planet. This center is for the training of our chimps and infants older than three Saiyan months of age. All open and breeding males with children, who were not with us on Planet Minerva a mere six months ago (Saiyan months like Saiyan years are 2 = 1), stand with your brood," the Ou commanded and hundreds of males and some females stood. "You of breeding capability need not fear being put to death as both your king and prince are open and breeding males with children and very strong male mates. Be proud of who you are as it is both an honor and a privilege among our people to be both Matusan and Outusan to a new life. You shall not be scorned for being seen with your mate, in fact, you would be scoffed at if you were not seen with him. This day, your king and his mate and your prince and his mate have birthed eleven chimps between us. Bardo-san and I have birth two sets of twins and our sons have birthed both triplets and quads. We shall dedicate all chimps that have been deprived of a birthing ceremony because of the circumstance in our past. Now, hear me, my children. Welcome Prince Raditz, my first born son of my mate, Bardock," the king motioned for his extra large son to stand.
Raditz stood with difficulty as he was carrying his mate's cub and had little Sabrianna entwined in his hair. The large warrior bowed his head as he could do little else. "Thank you, my Ou. As you can see, my mate, Tormataeo, and I are carrying and will be birthing in two months (Saiyan time). Nice healthy chimps to give the royal septuplets good competition," the large Saiyan replied as he reclaimed his seat beside an equally heavy Tormataeo.
"Open males, this is your time, we are the majority on the planet and we are the strongest nearest the females. Those banes of a male's existence have long held a secret power. A transformation that only they could reach because they were extremely emotional creatures has been tapped into by four open males. The first to reach this pinnacle of power was our beloved prince. Due to circumstances beyond his control, his deeply hidden emotions surfaced, which sent him over he edge. Kakarrot had teleported our prince to a desolate planet and the Ouji exploded. Without moonlight, the prince transformed. After those of us who had been killed with the old planet had been returned to this plane, Bardock and myself shared a deep hurt that triggered our transformation. The only way to attain this form is to remember the most heart wrenching event in your lifetime, focus on it and let those tender emotions you had been conditioned to believe were weaknesses take control. Once that happens, your body will explode with the power of sorrow and you will transform into what my son has named Pilzara, a giant were-gorilla," King Vegeta smiled.
"Now it is possible for open males to attain such power. Be seated all. If it pleases my king and mate, I shall continue," the queen spoke and was permitted. "Children, return to your seats," she turned to her grand and great grand children who complied. Once the youngsters had been seated, the queen continued. "As males, especially Royalty and the Super Elite, you had all been raised to suppress your more tender emotions except when bonded to a mate. We females had not been raised so as we had been seen as lower or no class citizens, so we could get away with murder and would not lay suspect. It is with great pleasure that I tell you that as a race given a second chance, the things we had once been forbidden to do, we may do, mainly, not be ashamed to show our emotions or how we feel. Anyone caught in sorrow shall be comforted, in joy they shall be joined and in love, they shall be embraced. The old king was the bastard who had made such laws and it is his offspring that is correcting such and as his people, we shall support him!" the queen completed.
"Long live Vegeta Ou, King of all Saiya-jin!" the entire crowd, except for the humans, cheered.
The king held his arms up for silence. "My children, my female had always told the chimps she had birthed for the Royal House of Vegeta, to use their emotions to attain the unattainable. Femzoro, which is the female's ultimate power, is attained only through the expression of deep emotion and I know that we all have deep emotional scars from what that white devil did to us and how he tried to destroy our mighty race. If not personally, think of our Ouji and who scarred his once unblemished body as you have seen. My children, there are still thousands of your brothers and sisters scattered throughout the cosmos. After celebration, the first order of business will be to organize search and rescue parties to retrieve our missing tribes and families. Now we shall move onto more pleasant business, the formation of a council. When I mention your name, stand. Since my female has been running things in my stead she should be the head of council, followed by her aunt, Onya, Bardock's female, our granddaughter, Teresahan shall come after Onya. The remaining council shall be comprised of Queen Imione, of the silver haired Saiya-jin, Princess Ariadne of the golden haired, highly intelligent Saiya-jin, and Naranja, of the orange haired tribe. Bruinia of the Bruinos (brown) haired tribe, Colorada of the Rojos (red) tribe and Coppena of the Copper haired Saiya-jin shall represent their branch. Yannish, I need a female from the Monkrion," Vegeta Ouja requested of the elder of the Monkrion branch of the Saiyan race.
"Inoshuahn, the sister to Onishuay, the Outusan of your grandchildren's Outusan, Onishua, and my own sister Florissa, my liege," Yannish, the elder of the Monkrion replied with a bow.
"So noted. Garliqua, I appoint you to slot twelve, my mother, Queen Vegetanna shall assume slot thirteen and Irisanna shall be fourteen. Are these names acceptable to you, my queen and lady mate?" Vegeta no Ou asked his female who bowed.
"They are, my Ou and shall be trained to the old way. Greetings, my daughters!" the queen bowed and her appointed councilwomen returned her bow.
"Right. The queen shall place the rest of you daughters of Saiya as she sees fit. Now, after my mates and I leave the arena, we expect two warriors to take battle stances to begin the tournament of reunion," Vegeta Ou nodded, then turned with his mates and sister-in-law to leave the arena.
Mirai Trunks and Jahrid were the first to accept the challenge to battle, thus leapt onto the surface of the arena and squared off. Bulma gasped and shot to her feet in a rage.
"Trunks, what the hell to you think you're doing? Are you crazy? Don't you remember the day you came back from the future and got your ass handed to you by Saiya-jin half your size?" she screamed in her banshee voice.
Those Saiya-jin who had lived on Earth and those who had lived in the same country where Little Vegeta was located understood the Earth tongue and gasped in shock at the outburst. How dare this tailless being disrupt their fun? She would have to learn her place and Cilvanti no Oujo, princess of Saiya-jin, was just the one to teach her. The young princess had no qualms over blasting this female to oblivion or beyond, thus the chimp took matters into her own hands and fired a warning blast toward the loudmouthed Earth-jin.
"Bulma, when will you learn to keep that pie hole of yours stuffed shut?! You will get killed and I'll help them!" it was a very pissed off 18, hand extended to carry out the threat.
"I don't want my son to get hurt, 18, is that to much to ask?! He's already been beaten up once before by a bunch of those snot nosed monkey brats!" the blue haired harridan snarled.
That did it! That was the final straw that worked the young Oujo's last bit of patience. Phasing from her seat with her brother in her shadow, Cilvanti flew across the stadium.
"Bitch, I blasted you once, don't give me a reason to do it again!" the pissed off princess snarled as she hovered in front of Bulma. Hand stretched, blast ready to fly and the same went for Endive.
Bulma looked at the child that had once been her own, whose features had once mirrored her own. Now, those features were a perfect blend of her ex-husband and former best friend. Her second love after Yamcha, Goku, now called that ridiculous carrot name, hadn't even bid her the time of day. Looking at this child and the one that floated beside her, she noted how the two had their tails wrapped around one another. The boy's tail was around Cilvanti's waist while hers was around his wrist. The boy was definitely all Vegeta with bluish silver highlights mingled with the mahogany and black strands: the highlights visible only because the suns on Planet Kaleragetsusei were positioned in such a way as to caress the strands and bring forth all hidden colors. Bulma gasped, cast a cautious glance at 18 and she realized the three were serious and that if she so much as blinked, she would be history.
"Cilvi, Endive, your poppa the prince says he will deal with the banshee and to get back to your seats," a new voice spoke. Bulma looked to see a youngster who was covered with orange fur, the hair on its head spiked in a flame like the prince's and her tail was the color of baked pumpkin in a pie, a sort of creamy texture by the look of it.
The two turned their heads slightly to regard the interruption and nodded, then turned their attention back the irritating human. "Consider yourself warned, human scum! One more outburst like that and my prince will deal with you," and with that, the three children flew back to their parents.
"How dare that child! Her sire needs his ass kicked into the next dimension! Ubuu, I know you can do it, attack!" Bulma snarled to Yamcha's new significant other.
"I don't take orders from you and if I fight anyone, it'll be my Yamcha. I refuse to do anyone else's work for them anymore," Ubuu retorted and snuggled up to his koi.
Bulma seethed then returned to her seat. Without another word, the king raised his fisted regal hand then brought it downward in a yanking motion to signal the start of the fight. Upon seeing that, the two combatants flew towards one another then commenced into a full battle. Several punches, kicks and chi blasts later found Mirai on the ground and Jahrid the victor, although the younger warrior was barely standing himself. The crowd roared and cheered for the half-breed's victory. Lower ranked warriors who could not hold strongly in battle were off to the sidelines waiting to assist the injured, thus ran to remove Mirai from the field and aid Jahrid in his exit as well.
The next set of contenders was Broli and Turles. This battle was highly charged as Broli had ascended to SSJ-3 while his mate was just at level 1. The match was over not soon after it had begun with Broli sweeping an easy victory due mainly to his larger size and greater power level.
As warriors and fighters themselves, the Z sensi who had ventured to the new Saiyan planet, sat awestruck at the sheer artistry with which the Saiyan race battled. Well, they had seen Goku (Kakarrot), Vegeta and most of their offspring battle or spar from time to time, and they were just blown away! It was as if the Saiya-jin race had been specially created for warfare and battle. Now that the race was re-channeling that skill for protection instead of mindless destruction, their displays left the humans stunned, even Bulma had to admit she was impressed. As the fights progressed, Krillin stood to his feet as he witnessed a familiar head of blonde take to the arena. With her was a black spike haired form that on closer inspection turned out to be Princess Teresahan, her opponent was his own daughter, Marron. Shock was a mild term to describe just what shot through the second shortest Z warrior; it was sheer, sickening panic.
"Marron, no! She'll skewer you!" At that instance, the short man was pulled downward.
"Let her fight, Krillin, it's in her blood. She knows the Oujo is more powerful than she is but they've been friends for so long, I don't think the princess will hurt her," 18 spoke to allay her husband's fear.
Krillin slumped in his seat as he heard the whoosh of air that signaled the fight had begun. The combatants were just as fierce and unyielding as the males had been, only they were just out to display their skill where many of the males were battling for the right to be dominant in their mateship. The fight between Teresahan and Marron ended when both females knocked one another clear of the ring and into the audience under their parents' noses. Krillin leapt over the wall to assist his daughter while Kakarrot did the same; both dads lifted their princesses to carry them off the field amid shouts of applause. Vegeta Ouji smirked and nodded to himself as he waited for his mate to return.
The next set of fighters was Queen Sunrissa and Onya whose battle lasted until the queen found herself under a chi ball that signified the end of the match. The audience erupted into shouts of blood but Onya extinguished the ball and held a hand to assist her niece to her feet then the two went to the sidelines for healing. The battles would have continued, however, powerful roars like that of an F-5 tornado split the air and the Saiya-jin looked around. Vegeta Ou stood and sliced his hand across the field.
"Play time is over for now, my dear ones. Let us go rest and feast. Those who wish to may remain to engage in private spars among themselves. We shall meet later this day to commence. Dismissed," the Ou shouted, nodded to Bardock, who rose to stand with his king and mate then the two departed.
The crowd followed and servants waited to escort the guest to changing rooms and bedchambers for which the tired Earth-jin were grateful. Both the intensity of the suns and the 300x gravity of Planet Kaleragetsusei was beginning to take its toll on fragile human bodies despite the aid of gravity pill that gave the body the resistance it required to withstand such heavy air. After the crowd had left, the prince, who had remained, noticed several chimps, chibis and cubs had remained, least of all his own. With a nod from the high prince, several children, young and old took to battle in a free for all. At that minute, Kakarrot returned to his mate to watch the little ones fight and to feed their own four month old cubs who were the size of human eight month olds and displaying the intelligence of that stage. Vegeta rested his head on his mate's shoulder and breathed in his sent. The large fighter put the arm that was not supporting their daughter around his love and leaned to inhale the prince's fragrant flame of hair. Servants that had also remained in the arena brought trays of snack foods to those adults who remained to watch the chimps battle.
"It's good to finally be home. I've missed them all so much, koi," Vegeta sighed as he fed Chardonblis a stick with a dark blue cream at the end of it.
"I can feel how happy you are, love, and so am I! I never knew I had so much family and that I was actually loved and missed. When 'Tousan and I bonded, I saw that before his death, we had passed one another and knew that he loved me. On Earth, I never even dared to dream I'd ever see or meet him but after my sacrifice to Cell, I did meet him and we talked after a good fight," Kakarrot smirked as he fed Roma the same stick/blue cream combo Vegeta was giving her brother.
Vegeta regarded his mate with bewilderment. "You never told me you and Bardock had met! I didn't see it during our exchange! The prince huffed.
"You're not the only one who can pick and chose what memories to share. He was ashamed of me and of what I had become. He rejected me. That pain tore at me, deeper than the realization of the fact that I had left behind the one that gave me his heart, along with two beautiful children. 'Tousan told me that unless I leave that worthless Earth shrew and reclaim my Saiyan birth right, that I was worse than Talanon excrete in his eyes. I guess that meant that I was lower than a low class baka or an idiot," the big Saiyan sighed as he focused his sights on a battle between Cilvanti and Pan and Endive and Fagiolo.
Vegeta caressed his mate with his tail then pulled him down for a kiss. "You're not that worthless. You did finally leave her for me and brought Goten for Trageta. Thank you and he never hated you, you know. Like me he was disappointed and wanted you to realize the Earth-jin could never fully appreciate your power like a Saiyan could. He was trying to get you to realize that you were just wasting your talents defending a planet that could never do anything for you. He came to me in a dream the night before you came to me and asked me to show you what no other being in the universe could show you and that was how to be a Saiyan. Ruthless, yes, strong, definitely but blended with compassion and mercy in a redirected form. You needed to kill without thinking for once, to unleash Kakarrot who had been hiding behind Son Goku for all those years. You unlocked my heart by engaging me in the most intense battle I had ever had. No one had ever stood up to me, to Raditz or to Nappa the way you all had. Raditz disappointed me when he died because I felt that there was no force created strong enough to take him down, ot her than Frieza. We heard the battle, every crunch and bone splitting kick and chi blast. We also heard that you were holding him when Piccolo sent his blast at the pair of you. That's when I formulated the plan to try and win you. After you so easily defeated that idiot Nappa, I knew I had to have you, had to make you mine no matter. When I found that mine was mated to such a creature as that hellcat, I cringed. I immediately hated her because she had what belonged to me. I only stayed on Earth to be with you, then after the boys were born and I had moved out of that woman's house, I had to find a way to unleash the hidden you and free you from that human jail. Little did I realize that by attempting to free you that you freed me and the heart you insisted that I had buried beneath the surface and only let show when the two of us were together. You freed me, love, just as I have freed you. Disappointed?" the prince, asked after his long response.
"Not in the least, chibi mi. Look at how much I've gained! Both my parents, four sisters I didn't know I had are alive. Six children from the most beautiful creature I have ever seen in my life. He has also given me three of my own and two of his from previous matings, plus an entire planet to train and level up to SSJ and the most sought after prize our race has to offer. Because of him, I now have my very first children plus two generations to follow them. Disappointed, no. Extremely blessed, yes. Come, let's call the kids together and go find something more to eat," Kakarrot smiled, kissed the prince, then the pair stood and emitted a series of whistles and clicks. This brought all battle to an immediate halt, all fighters lined up, brushed themselves off then followed the royal couple from the arena and to their homes or the places in which the were to stay with their families during their time on the new home planet.
