Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ So Blue ❯ Journey Ending ( Chapter 31 )
~~~~~``` Chapter- 31-- Journey ending.
Vegeta straightened his back stepping before the entrance of the ship, pressing the button. The ramp sounded as it extended down till it touched Sayian land and then the door opened with a hiss revealing to Vegeta his people. The noble warriors lined up along the red carpet that laid the way to the Path of the Dead as he liked to call it. Path of Heroes or whatever the woman called it was just to prissy like.
His shook his head mentally. That was all relevant. He took his first step on the ramp and once he began his descent his orders boomed over the hundred listening. "Get medics, first door on right. I want full reports of this creature in my hand in less then fifteen minutes." Two soldiers immediately dismissed themselves from the line to carry out those orders. "Begin the sirens. Alert all of my empire of war. I want all vessels to meet at the rendezvous point till I have further instruction. Get all of those who do not fight under the mountain. The ones that wish to fight on my planet meet at the platform. You have one hour to get this accomplished. I need not remind you Klooer wants this empire for all it is worth. And if anyone of you want to be ruled by him then by all means shoot yourself and save us the trouble. Dismissed. Bardock." The warriors dispersed to the air, one left behind to bow but stand confidently before his lord. "Activate the shield--"
"Is that really needed sir?" A quick desperate question.
"Do not question me." His aggravance glowed, and quickly Bardock lost his disapproving thoughts. "Activate the shield. I will be there after I talk with the fleet."
"Is it the final battle, Vegeta-sama?"
"As final as they come." As he finished his ears picked up the faint steps of the bodies coming from his ship. He turned to view the two medics and the child upon a floating stretcher. Vegeta turned to see the body as it past, ignoring the gasp from Bardock that still stood behind him now.
A pink eyed, haired doctor stepped and bowed, "Who is this, my Lord?"
"That is what you are to find out within now ten minutes. Do not hesitant. Go!" Scared out of their wits they quickly grabbed the edge of the little tomb and nearly ran to the castle.
"My Lord….That…It…"
"Do as I told you."
"Sire…."
"Now!"
Bardock was violently brought from his daze the instant Vegeta's voice threatened. He shockingly bowed but sped off, uncontrolled fear and relief caused the smile to grace his hard features.

"The sirens." Bra snapped up in bed.
"What?" Mumbled a nearly sleeping half-breed beside her, stretching to his fullest before gazing up at her. A smile graced his lips, viewing her naked back, her disheveled mane and her flushed features. He rolled on to his back, his hand gracing up her spine.
"Do you not hear?"
"That annoying bell, yeah I hear it." He sat up, maneuvering himself to kiss upon her naked neck feeling her shiver, smiling against the heated skin. "Kami you're beautiful." However her movements caused a frown, Bra instantly grabbed a separate blanket and wrapped it around her, her back to him. "Bra, what's wrong?"
She slowly turned, a tear rolling down her flushed cheek. Her eyes firm and harsh. "What's wrong?" She questioned as if his own wonder astonished her. "What's wrong? Goten, you--What were you thinking? I told you I couldn't. I told you I will honor Kali and you just and…Who do you think you are? And I let…Gods, I let it. In the same place Kali and I…on his gifts…Oh, gods of Vegeta-sei, forgive me." Her face crumbled however not in tears just in complete disgust. She rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door instantly.
Goten sprung from the bed, not liking this at all. "Bra. Bra come on. Listen I'm sorry that I went about it all wrongly. But you didn't push me away, I thought it--"
The door swung open revealing the beautiful disheveled and crying woman now wrapped in a robe, "You thought it fine?" Her eyes slit in her rage, tail flipping about, "You thought it fine to seduce me. To make it impossible to say no. And you think it is fine? Do you have no respect for me? I told you how I felt. How I wanted to stay true to my dead lover and you ignored my wishes."
"Because I knew they were a lie. Bra, I feel you in me. I can see your lies through your own words, through your voice. And if you had felt nothing for me like you told me, you would have pushed away. You would have done something. But you didn't. You welcomed me to you." Goten stepped forward caring nil for the fact that he was naked before her, grasping her arms delicately, holding him to his heated body. "This makes you feel desire. Makes you feel exactly what I do. And the only thing that is holding you back is that your dead boyfriend never wants you to feel for me. But don't you see what he did? Even gone he controls you and tells you what to feel. He did it while he was alive and he made sure to do it while he was dead--"
"Do not! Do not talk ill of him ever, Goten! You knew nothing of him! You have no right!"
"I have a right. He has hated me from the beginning for no reason. I gave him no reason to hate me. And yet he did because he saw the way you looked at me. He knew you felt something just as I knew. But he didn't feel threatened yet, because he was there and your feelings for him no matter what it was you had for me would never grow weak as long as he was there to have you as his. But now that he is gone, he knew your feelings for me would change and he wanted to do everything in his power to do what he wanted. Don't you see what he has done, Bra? He did this on purpose. To hurt me. But I don't care. I'm not doing this to spite him. Just as you aren't. I'm doing this just because I love you. And I'm fighting because you love me. And I will not stop fighting until you admit it, or you truly tell me that you don't. Tell me you understand. Tell me you see it from my point of view. You don't have to like it. Just so I know you understand."
"Goten you just. You just don't get it." She shut her eyes, the tears dripping down her cheek and fell into her hand that covered her trembling lips. A few minutes past till she had enough strength to speak again. To tell him exactly what she did feel. "And I can't even hate you for it because I don't want you to get it. You have to be Sayian to understand us and you're not. And I don't ever want you to get it. But do you understand me, Goten? Do you know that by making me confess my love, you are forever going to be second in my eyes? You are forever going to be secretly hated as much as you will be loved because of what you are making me say. I love you. I love you like I have never loved. But to have that love you must live with the hate because there will be much of it. Can you live with the fact that I belong to another? And that if he were to come to me I would leave with him without a second thought toward how I would hurt you?"
A smile approach his lips, he cupped her cheeks in his palms, his thumbs wiping her stray tears. "I can live with it as long as you are with me. And if he were to come back and your heart truly wants to be with him not because of obligation, but because you want him. I will willingly let you go as much as my heart will break because of it."
A small smile flexed upon her lips and when her hands rose up to his, she witness the happiness that shined in his black orbs. So much like Kali, but so different. Maybe that is why she couldn't stay away from him. "Okay." She whispered. "Okay. I will be with you. And I will leave with you when you leave. And throw away my right as queen if that is what you wish."
"It's only what you want to do. If you want to stay here then I will stay."
"The court won't--"
"If you want to stay here, then we'll stay. Don't think of anything else."
"How do you make things seem so easy?"
"Because they are."
"But they're not."
"They are when you're in love." Her face faltered in her smile, not believing his words but soon a brilliant grin appeared on her face and she kissed his lips with vigor. He moaned into her, wrapping his powerful arms around her. She parted to catch her breath.
"Mark me."
"What?"
"I know it is sudden, but I want you to mark me. And I want to mark you. I will not make the mistake I made with Kali. I will keep you so no one may steal you."
"As great as that sound…" Her happiness dimmed, Goten was quick to pacify her, "But I have no idea as to what that means. Mark me? With what? For what reason?" Realizing he was clueless to it all. Bra laughed falling into his arms.
"You are too cute." She lifted her head again. "I assume that while we mate your instincts will find you. But I cannot mate until I am eighteen, and I wish to respect my father to this. Do you mind at all?"
"No. Not at all. If we can still do what we did before." He grinned, leaning down to nuzzle her nose.
She nodded against him, "Yes. Whenever you wish. And since you're nature is lost to you, I will be the first." She gripped his hand and lead him over to the bed. "Lie down." He hurriedly did as he was told, lying in the middle of the bed, eager to see what she had in store. He grinned as she stripped her robe, his body instantly reacting to her beautiful form, his eyes stayed connected with her swaying breasts while she climbed toward him. He licked his lips in anticipation, however hearing the giggling on her lips made him realize she had been gazing above him for a while. "I am glad they are to your liking." He smirked, his hands finding their way to her hips, wiggling her naked body upon his, biting his lip to hold back a moan. "This will hurt since we are not mating. But once you mimic my actions your pain will be dismissed." She kissed his lips gently before working down his jaw, his head moving aside to allow more room for her beautiful tongue to work however his eyes widened the moment he felt her fangs touch his soft skin. His fingers dug instantly into her hips when her teeth sunk into his neck, pain shooting through his body but no matter the agony, oh was there such a unbelievable seductive pleasure to it. He bit his lip to keep from groaning and as if on instinct so unknown to him he immediately lowered his mouth to her neck and bit brutally into her, moaning when she moaned, sucking at the delicious blood that flowed into his mouth, surrounding him in a haze.

Vegeta paced the marble floor of his throne room. His footsteps echoing in the high-ceiling architecture, silence all around him though the constant humming of the charging shield filled the room. His hands clasped tight around his back, keeping his cape in bondage, for when pacing it got quiet annoying.
He could feel his mate's ki out on the far reaches of the mountain along with Bardock. What they were doing was at a lost to him, he didn't know how the shield worked, oh forgive him, not shield, now what was the name the woman harped to him about? Oh Yes. It was called the Dome Minder. Short for Deflector Operator of Mimicking Energizer. Minder Institution for the Negligence of Dipshit etc. Royalty. The court had actually threatened her to make this and she had fought to the whole extreme that she didn't want to because the only reason they would need this is if the Royal Court (mainly Vegeta) picked a fight with opposing forces.
Anyway, back to the main subject, as long as the woman was with her body guards she was safe enough for Vegeta to keep her out of his head for awhile. However never fully which irked him because she was not with him. His tail would be flicking in agitation if Zarbon had not fooled him. Danger was present, he needed to get his mate in her room where he knew no harm could befall on her but it would be better if he didn't see her yet. He could feel her anger just as much as he could feel Klooer's. Let her calm herself by work. The way she solves all problems.
Vegeta's eyes flexed just for a moment when he switched his concentration over to his daughter. She was in her rooms, however, Vegeta's muscles twitched when he felt Radditz's nephew. He ground his teeth though pacifying his worries by repeating to himself Bra would not break their promise. He needed to trust in that right now. Besides, that half-breed was powerful and could protect her so she was in better care then her body guards.
Where the hell were those damn medics?! Klooer's power was burning to disturbing heights and his forces were gathering right at the edge of his empire. Before the battle that will decide each and everyone's future Vegeta needed to know just why the hell he provoked this war for that stupid, meaningless child! It nerved him to no end that this kid got to him so easily. He risked the lives of his entire kingdom, more importantly his family for that brat! This is all the woman's fault. She made him too soft. Can't even walk away from a child anymore. He used to be able to look straight into a child's fearful, innocent gaze and laugh while the ki ball rolled out of his hand. And now he shudders in disgust at the very thought. Women!
Annoyance finally got the best of him. Vegeta quickly stepped up to the hundred yard in length and width glass that opened out onto the balcony where below warriors of his planet waited for his presence. His eyes flicked to the ones falling from the sky, joining the others, but he needed to ignore them for now. Besides they were early.
He pushed the top button of three on the metal frame, and instantly on the glass in front of him small four by six transparent images, hundreds of them appeared in rows and columns. All live picture feed from the cameras stationed in every corner of every part of his empire, that is except in private housing and rooms. Vegeta paced the floors, eyes scanning every single one till he finally came across the one he wished. He pressed the image, the others fading away, being replaced by only six camera feeds all from the same section just different views. He touched the one he wanted and watched it expand to a hundred feet. Vegeta stepped back to observe it fully.
The mysterious child, now clean and bandaged laid naked with only a towel over his waist on a white med bed. Wires attached to each arm and leg. Pads stuck to his chest and temples all connected to some machine or other. The child must not be at all bad for if he had been they would have immediately placed him in the RT. His brows knit when he actually felt relief. Throwing it away, his eyes flexed around the room seeing no one there. The doctors must be on their way. Good. He was so sick of waiting.
Vegeta arched in eyebrow in wonder viewing the child's painful expression as he dreamed of obvious frightening things. Sweat piled on his chest and face, his cheeks flushed, hands clenched the bed sheets in desperation. If anything Vegeta understood. The horrors of living under Klooer were no doubt the same as they were under Frieza, if not worse. Especially when Klooer believed that this young man belonged to the Sayian throne. It made Vegeta physically sick just thinking of the twisted things that lizard could have done.
It sounded. The doors opened, gently hitting the wall. Vegeta however was ignorant to it all staring out at this lavender angel of his last hope. This is it. This is the information he had been waiting for his entire life. It was actually amazing how empty he felt. It was amazing how he didn't care. It felt like it was all ready too late. The boy was so far damaged and so old. What difference would it make now? That's even if this kid is actually the heir.
No, it wasn't as if he didn't care. It was just that now with this new information whatever it may be, a lifetime journey was coming to an end. The only question remaining in his considerately short rule, was it all pointless, or worth it? Weather all of his suffering, his mate's suffering, his daughter's was it all for nothing?
"King Vegeta?"
Would life be boring and predictable now? No, that was a stupid thought. With his mate nothing was ever boring and expected. Plus he was five minutes away from a universal war. That in itself should take a total of a year, that is if Klooer never wants to fight to the death.
Shouldn't his mate be here for this? Shouldn't she hear for herself the truth? He didn't have the patience to wait for her. Besides he would rather tell her alone so no one else views the disappointment in her eyes when she realizes that he had failed her yet again.
Vegeta stepped back. Pressing the powerful button and turning around to see his two top doctors with a folder tucked in his arm. Sweat dripped from their faces, eyes wide with nervousness and some kind of excitement. "We have the results, sir."
