Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Rebirth of Family ❯ Landing ( Chapter 6 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

By: kiana

Another couple days had passed before the ship landed. The incident involving Leiko had been forgotten by everyone except Vegeta. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than Leiko was letting on.

“Landing in T minus ten...”

“Finally! We're here! I can't wait to get out into the fresh air!” Goku said as he sparred with his shadow.

There was a soft thud as the ship landed on the foreign planet's surface. The doors opened to reveal an eerily quiet and empty station.

Bulma took this as her cue to point out the obvious. “If you brought us here to defeat some forces and to rule the planet, shouldn't there either be a bunch of foreign soldiers destroying everything in sight or a large group of citizens cheering our arrival:

“You're right Bulma, but not about the cheering crowd part. Like I said before, they haven't come together yet. But...this station should be in ruins if the forces arrived here.” Leiko strode off towards a room at the end of the dock. Everyone had to run to keep up with her.

Once inside the room, Bulma was in awe. The technology that the room held was incredible. She immediately went towards the nearest machine to examine it. Everyone else stayed where they were, afraid they would break something. An alien with purple skin emerged from around the corner.

“Leiko, good to see you're back. How was the trip?”

“Nomy, we don't have time for small talk. Where are the forces that were supposed to attack us? Why aren't they here yet?”

“I don't know Leiko. Our radar systems can't find their ships anywhere near our planet. We shouldn't take this as good news though. We should still anticipate the worst.”

“Thanks Nomy. Keep me posted, alright?”

At this moment, Vegeta decided to make his presence known.

“Leiko, enough of this. Let's keep moving.”

Leiko simply rolled her eyes. “Nomy, these are the people I was going to get. The one with the blue hair is Bulma, the two young ones are her children, Trunks and Bra. The two dark haired men are saiyans. The tall one is Kakarot. The shorter one is my brother, Vegeta.”

With the mention of that name, Nomy's eyes widened. “Th...th...that's the Prince Vegeta? He's dangerous! What were you thinking by bringing him here Leiko?”

“I brought them here to help us against the rebel forces. Also, Vegeta has agreed to be king. As of now, he is the only being qualified to be king. He is of royal blood, like me. He may be my little brother, but you are to show him respect.”

“Y..yes Leiko. I'm sorry Prince Vegeta, it won't happen again.”

Vegeta waved it off. “I'll let it go...this time. Leiko, are we getting out of here anytime soon?”

“Hold your horses Veggie-Weggie. We're leaving. Remember Nomy, keep me posted.” With that, they left.

On their way into the city, Leiko explained what would happen during the next couple of days. “There is a palace in the city. That is where we will all be living. The residents of the planet will be notified that there will be a new king. The day after tomorrow, we will hold your coronation ceremony. The day after that, we will have to start forming an army to defend the planet.”

“Well, what am I going to do while all of this is going on? What about Trunks and Bra?”

“Bulma, you will be part of the coronation ceremony as you will be queen. After that, you will take care of other affairs as Vegeta here passes his time training the army. We will get someone to watch Trunks and Bra as Kakarot will be busy helping Vegeta.”

“Wait, there is no way that third-class saiyan is going to help train the royal army.”

“Vegeta, cutthe bullshit. You know Kakarot may very well be the strongest fighter in the universe and he sure as hell is stronger than you. Planet Vegeta is gone and that third-class crap does not hold up here. Kakarot is going to be your second in command, and I don't want to hear any of your whining.”

Vegeta had it. There was no way he was going to let Leiko talk to him like that. His pridehad been hurt enough by earlier confrontations. “Dammit Leiko, you may be older, but I outrank you, always have, always will. I will not tolerate your tone anymore. You may have been stronger when we were little, but there is no way you can beat me now. I have ascended and you do not want to give me the incentive to use it.” The way he said this was eerily calm. The electricity in the car was overwhelming. Bulma gently placed her hand on Vegeta in an attempt to calm him as Bra began crying.

“Vegeta, honey, please calm down. Don't do this here, your upsetting Bra.”

With the mention of his daughter's name, Vegeta's cold stare softened considerably. He turned to take her from Bulma to stifle her cries.

While looking at his daughter, a thought suddenly entered his mind.

“So Leiko, you never did tell us how you survived the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Care to tell us now?”

He caught Leiko off-guard. Her face paled as she pondered his question. Fortunately, for Leiko, the palace came into sight. “There's no time for that now Veggie. We're almost at our destination.
