CHAPTER XXIV

HEALING AND BONDING


Vegeta had been stroking his dad's tail but to no avail as the Ou's emotions did not calm down and the prince began to feel that his Outusan needed to release a greater, deeper sorrow. Placing two fingers to his forehead, the prince, still holding the Ou, teleported to the planetoid Goku had found the prince himself on not long ago.

"Okay, poppa, let it go. Let all your hurt, anger and sorrow explode," Vegeta Ouji encouraged, let go of his dad's tail as the king let out a mighty yell from deep within his being.

As Vegeta watched his dad release all the years of hurt buried inside, the prince witnessed his dad's large muscular body expand, the Saiyan armor and jumpsuit he still wore from the day he had parished stretching to sustain the transformation. However, the transformation did not stop at Oozaro but continued and the prince's angular eyes grew wide as it dawned on him that his Outusan had just reached the Pilzara Saiyan level. It was incredible, the amount of power being drawn in and expressed at the same moment. The prince wisely found himself a hiding place as the king rampaged and destroyed the part of the planet they were on.

On Earth, Goku had wandered away from the others to sit under a tree alone where he intended to meditate, however, Bardock had seen his progression, got up from where he sat and headed over to his son. Piccolo and Krillin along with 18 also watched as Goku sat to meditate. Piccolo frowned deeply, if such was possible, as he, like Vegeta usually scowled, however, unlike the prince, Piccolo could smile easily.

"Son is depressed. I think he's glimpsed the future of his relationship with Vegeta and..." Pic could not find the words to complete his thought.

"I know how he feels, Namek. I felt the same way when I found that my mate had been attacked by that white terror and beaten nearly to death for his defiance and audacity to sever the ties the old king had made between the Icejin and the Saiya-jin. Grr, I hated Frieza. Not only for what he was doing to my race, poisoning and brainwashing us to just kill viciously with no regard for the lives of the races he sent us to slaughter, but for what he did to my king and my prince!" Bardock hissed angrily and tried to hold himself together, then he looked back to his youngest son. "Carrying the prince's chimp isn't making the severance any easier to bear. I know. I was carrying for the Ou and he for me when he had been attacked," Goku's elder twin sighed.

The group stood near Goku, whose sensitive Saiyan ears picked up on the conversation around him. The large Saiyan glanced up and met his Outusan's eyes; his own black orbs shining from unshed tears. Although he and Vegeta had declared themselves in the nether region to one another, Goku felt that in the conscious, physical his prince would be less accepting and would have probably restored the walls he had built so long ago to keep his deepest emotion from being trashed and stretched. Goku had experienced the pain, humiliation, degradation and the Saiyan annihilation first hand when the two of them had fused into Vegetto the very first time as an attempt to stop Majin Buu twelve years ago. Goku rose to his feet and approached Bardock.

He sniffed as he said, "W-what do you mean, 'tousan?" his voice cracked with emotion.

Bardock turned to his son, moved closer to him and embraced him. "Let's sit. What I'm about to tell you is not pretty and you'll probably hate me for it, but it will help you to understand why the king and our prince are the way they are," the warrior said and the group sat with Goku next to his dad. Onya and Kayla had moved to join their mates. Kayla took Goku's hand as Onya did Bardock's. Drawing a deep breath, Bardock began. "You all know that Raditz is Kakarrot's oldest brother, correct? Well, unlike Kakarrot, Raditz does not have a mother in the sense that the youngest one has. I delivered Raditz," here the mouths of Goku's friend's dropped to the ground.

"You had a baby? Then that means you--?" Krillin began the awkward question.

"I am an open male like my sons, his youngest son, the prince, his son and our king. Vegeta Ou provided one half of Raditz. That is why the boy looks like Prince Vegeta. Anyway, that's the short story, the other is why I know my son is depressed after this incident regarding Prince Vegeta. Vegeta no Ou, my king, my friend and my mate was raped and abused by Frieza who then took his sick pleasure out on our two year old prince," here Bardock lost his emotions but it could be sensed that he was holding back a great deal.

Swallowing hard, Goku excused himself from his mother, mate and friends then took hold of his dad. The younger son placed two fingers to his head and the two vanished only to reappear on a desolate planet not too far from the original Planet Pilzara Vegeta had first made the powerful transformation on.

"It's okay, dad, you can let it out," Goku said and flew to higher ground. At that moment, Goku witnessed his own Outusan transform into the beast that the prince had been in not long ago. "O-Outusan? Y-you made Pilzara!" the mighty Saiyan gasped as his dad began to rampage.

On another part of the same planet, Prince Vegeta continued to watch the king rampage when the prince felt a tingle at the edge of his senses. He perked up, closed his eyes and stretched out his mind. His eyes flew open and he gasped at the familiar feel of the disturbance, as if what he had sensed belonged to familiar beings. He stretched his senses out again and nearly fell from the sky. 'Ceraina? Kakarrot? What are they doing here? Poppa, I'll be right back!' the prince said mentally to the breath chi blasting Pilzara form of his Outusan.

The prince flew high and located Ceraina's chi first, then he flew to where she was and noted that it was not too far from where he had left the king. The prince stopped short and his eyes grew wide as possible as they beheld the unbelievable: the female Pilzara, Femzoro.

"Vegetami!" a frantic cry was heard and then something slammed into him and nearly knocked him from the sky. "Oh, my prince, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Vegeta grabbed hold of the delicate body that had crashed into him. "Rainami, shh, mi amour. What have you to be sorry for?" he asked as he ran his hand over her smooth shoulder length black hair.

"Your attack at the hands of that monster when you were a baby and the one, now, that may have destroyed your bond with Kakarrot," the young female cried hard as she fought not to transform.

"Mi amour, it's all right. Come," the prince rose and lifted the still distraught female with him and turned to see the Femzoro. "I take it this is my mother. Let's get her with Outusan," the prince said, flew to his mother, landed on her shoulder, touched his fingers to his forehead and ITed the three of them to the location of the king.

Flying from the queen's shoulder, the prince then sat down with his lady, who had calmed somewhat. "Shh, amore mi. Listen, princess, I need you to stay with their majesties. I detected Kakarrot's chi here also, so I'm gonna check it out. I'll be back," the prince said, quickly kissed his lady mate then flew off to where he had felt Goku's chi. His mouth fell open when he beheld another Pilzara. Three of them on the same planet caused way too much power to be expended. The prince stared at the unfamiliar beast when...

"Vegeta-sama, what...I-I didn't feel you up here, my prince, but then I've been too awed over my dad," Goku explained his lapse in not sensing his prince.

Vegeta shook his head. "Koibitomi, you needn't apologize to me. Bardock transformed also? Both my parents and Ceraina's fighting her own. I wonder what happened to send them into this state? C'mon, let's get Bardock to their majesties," the prince remarked and two flew to Pilzara-Bardock. Goku put his hand on his dad, the prince put his hand on Goku's shoulder, put his free hand to his head and the three winked out. They reappeared in the location of their majesties and... "Ceraina, no, mi amour!" the prince exclaimed as his eyes fell onto a second Femzoro, which he knew was his fem amour. "What caused such a domino effect to bring them to transform at nearly the same time?" Vegeta mused out loud.

Goku sniffed and looked over at the prince. "They' re deeply hurt. It has something to do with Frieza. Dad told how freeze-face brainwashed our race to become planet killers and for something he had done to the king and to you. Do you know what he meant?" the mighty warrior asked.

A chill ran the length of the prince's spine as a memory surfaced. Vegeta stared out at the four were-gorillas as they blasted and rampaged. "Yes," Vegeta said so softly that had Goku not been standing close the prince, he would have missed it.

Goku jumped back and screamed in horror as a sudden vision flashed into his mind. "NO! Frieza, you sick, perverted bastard, how dare you do that to my mate! I'll kill you when I get my hands on you! There won't be a hell large enough in which to hide!" the mighty Saiyan snarled as he wrapped the prince in a strong embrace. "Oh, Vegeta, I thought I had seen all that that dog had done to you. I had no idea-"

"I blocked that one from you, koi. I felt dirty and humiliated and couldn't understand how someone as pure and beautiful as you could love a creature like me. He stole my honor; my self-worth, my dignity and he tried to break me. Like with Babidi, I would not let him break my pride. I watched him break my Outusan. My Outusan, the strong proud king of the Saiya-jin race, broken by that gray, lizard tailed dog in constant heat! But he wasn't satisfied with breaking my dad, no, he had to turn his sick passion on me! He made me hate myself even when Raditz was trying to reassure me the opposite was true. I yearned to escape his torture, his abuse and ingratitude and when freeze face had sent the three of us on a planet purge, we planned an escape. I had sent Raditz on ahead as he remembered you had been sent off planet. He figured if he could get you to join us, the four of us would be the mightiest fighting force in the universe and crush Frieza forever. We didn't figure that he would die in the attempt. That's when Nappa and I decided we would follow him to that small planet.

"I never dreamed of meeting such a magnificent Saiyan. One who more than matched me, speed for speed, blow for blow and showed me that I wasn't as toplofty as I put on. He was the first, the bravest, most idiotic being I had ever met, but he had brought me down. He did what Frieza couldn't do completely. He broke the Saiyan no Ouji. Yes, I was pissed! I was beyond angered, yet, I was awed at how I had let myself fall at his hands," the prince calmed down from his emotional outburst.

"You allowed--?"

"Baka, you don't think I would have purposefully given myself to a disgrace like you, did you? You worked hard for it but in the end I had let my guard down and fell under your spell. That was our first battle. I had fallen for you hard. Maybe I saw my first experience in you because of the near resemblance to Bardock that he had. I never noted how much more he resembled neither the king nor myself. He tried so hard to mate with me in an attempt to save me from Frieza but we both knew it would have meant our deaths," Vegeta said in a near whisper. The prince raised his eyes to look into those of the larger Saiyan who stood in front of him. He then raised his arms and embraced that same Saiyan in a fierce hug and threw one arm around Goku's neck to pull his head down and their lips met in a chaste kiss. "I love you, Kakachan, and nothing will ever sever that bond except death," Vegeta whispered around Goku's lips.

"I'll follow you, Chibi Oujimi. You are mine, forever," Goku sighed then turned his head and let out a deeper sigh. 'I wonder if I'll ever reach that level. To be equal with you again, mi amour,' Goku thought as his eyes had locked on to the four were-gorillas still expressing their deepest hurt.

Deepest hurt, there was the rub. Goku had nothing buried in his psyche that could ever cause such intense pain, except maybe his sacrifice to Cell. No that was a selfless act. This kind of sorrow and pain was personal and well hidden. He never even hid the fact that his prince's noble sacrifice and resulting death had torn him to shreds. 'Vegeta, my prince, my mate, my koi' Goku sniffed as he rocked his prince, who was still in his embrace, back and forth. The large Saiyan drew a shuddering breath as a thought hit him and he screamed in pain.

Vegeta looked up from the warmth that had embraced him the second he heard the pain filled scream. "Kakarrot? Kakarrot, what--?" The prince's mouth fell open as he watched Goku's body began to expand and grow. The air, which was already dense due to the planet's intense gravity and the power being expressed by the other were-gorillas, became charged and exploded from around the two Saiya-jin. Vegeta was blown several feet from Kakarrot and the power of sorrow exploded from that being and the transformation commenced.

Saiyan physiology was designed so that if the parent had been in battle and had to transform and they were carrying, the chimp was well protected from the energy being pushed forth. Saiya-jin were a rugged race and their bodies had been designed to withstand any and everything, even when they were developing chimps. With a few weeks to delivery, both Kakarrot and Vegeta had attained this rare level of power, which meant that the chimps stood a strong chance of being born Pilzara or Femzoro.

Goku's medium brown colored tail began to expand, thicken then exploded into the thick furred appendage of the Pilzara Saiyan. The large Saiyan's body sprouted thick dark brown hair, which covered every inch of him. His handsome face contorted into the grizzly visage of the were-gorilla as his body size more than quadrupled. Vegeta's mouth hung open in shocked/horror as he witnessed his mate's change and he felt a strange delirium begin to over take his otherwise clear mind. The prince remembered that he had stashed his capsule wallet into the top of his jumpsuit, thus he ran his hand into the top to retrieve the item. Opening the wallet Vegeta located two capsules and withdrew them then slipped the wallet back into his top. Popping the tops to both capsules, Vegeta let them fall gently to the ground so that the contents within would not shatter. Once the slight popping sound of the capsules died and the smoke of the tiny explosion cleared, on the ground where Vegeta had dropped the caps lay a CD player and a triangular shaped black leather case.

Vegeta knelt, picked up the CD player, which was in a case of its own, fastened it around his midsection, then touched his hands to the other black case. The case had his name on it written in Saiyago and had been one of the rare gifts he'd ever received from the king. Swallowing hard, Vegeta touched the clasps and they clicked open. The prince's well formed muscled yet delicate hands lifted the lid to reveal what lay inside. On a bed of crimson lay an angular shaped instrument that resembled an instrument on the Earth known as an auto-harp. It had ten strings like a harp and keys such as a piano would have that, when depressed, caused different sounds to emit from the instrument. It was the same with this instrument in the case. Vegeta stretched out his hands, gently took the instrument, lifted it out of the case cradled it as if it were a newborn infant and experimentally ran his fingers over the strings. A smile burst onto his handsome face as he pressed the start button on his CD player. Vegeta took hold of the instrument and the instant the music started, the prince's beefy yet nimble fingers flew to the strings and strummed out the melody that drummed into his finely tuned ears.

A feeling of complete and utter exhilaration took possession of the small prince and he levitated into the air and, as he played, sang and listened to the music that he had recorded, then he flew into the rampaging were-gorillas. Despite the weightiness of his carrying body, Vegeta flew in between the five gargantuan beings twisting, dancing, floating and twirling in the graceful moves of the gymnast he was. His main attention was focused on the last one to have transformed: the Pilzara Kakarrot. The sight of this one made his blood sing in his veins, a mad dizzying rush captured his mind. Vegeta pushed himself into a Super Saiyan level 4, the transformation where his upper body beefed twice it's normal size, his body became covered in dark red fur that left his wide chest bare and resemble a jacket. The lower part of his jumpsuit changed with the transformation into a pair of black leather slacks, his boots into white boots but his white gloves and hair never changed. In this form, the prince was able to fly into the Pilzara form of his male love and swat that being with his own lush tail in a suggestive manner as he swayed, flipped and danced to the rhythm of the music. Vegeta was surprised he could attain the level in the condition his body was in, with the cub and the weight.

In one point of the routine, Vegeta landed lightly on Goku's tail, balanced himself, then, lifted his right leg, kicked out and somersaulted to land on top of the creature's large head. There, Vegeta pirouetted, jumped into the air then landed on the beast's shoulder, his tail caressed the other Saiyan's open mouth, and then he flew off. The prince was lost in the music he was playing and singing and the movements that his body made. At the end of the disk, Vegeta knelt onto the hard surface of the planet, his breathing ragged. He let go of his SSJ-4 state as his body regained its senses.

It was often said that music calmed the savage beast, thus while Vegeta was lost in his song, he was oblivious to four of the were-gorilla beings melting back into their mortal forms. Vegeta Ou, Sunrissa, Bardock and Ceraina all stood and stared at one another then caught the last of the performance the prince was putting forth as he danced and flipped off and around another were-gorilla.

"W-what happened? Kakarrot?" Bardock looked round for his son then saw him as he slowly melted from his own transformation. "What the hell is that?!" the warrior exclaimed at the last sight of the being that slowly turned mortal.

Vegeta had returned his instrument and CD player to their capsules and had just put the wallet away when he turned back to the scene he had left moments earlier. A wide smile broke onto his face when he beheld his nears and dears had returned to their beautiful mortal beings. The prince moved to join them just as his eyes landed on a very exposed Kakarrot thus causing Vegeta to change his destination.

"Kakachan!" the no Ouji nearly flew to his male amour and threw his arms around his wider physique. One thing about the first Pilzara transformation, it left a Saiyan with several physical changes, the least of which being the bushy fox-like tail and an added four inches in height.

"Ouijmi! What happened?" Kakarrot asked and he teetered off balance due to his new tail. Vegeta steadied him.

"Whoa, koi, easy. Here, I felt you might have need of this," the prince handed a dark blue sports bag to the larger Saiyan who opened it.

"Hey, a new gi! Thanks, Veggie," Goku leaned and nuzzled the side of Vegeta's neck, kissed it then nipped it with his sharp teeth.

That little action caused the smaller Saiyan to yipe then the prince playfully smacked Kakarrot with his tail. "A thing like that can get you seriously hurt, mister. Put those on and let's get back to Earth, I'm hungry. I'm sure there are any dozen or so beings that would want a play by play," Vegeta moved out of Goku's embrace and went to join the others. "Everyone all right?" he asked when he neared them.

"W-what happened, my prince? W-why are we not on Earth?" the king asked as he looked over Sunrissa and Bardock.

"You went Pilzara on me, sire. I had to get you off planet to transform. Earth's way too small to withstand that kind of power. I'm surprised the old girl's withstood all our Super Saiya-jin forms over the years. Are we all ready? I know two chimps who are livid--!" Vegeta never finished the statement as he went sailing to the ground. "What the--!"

"Bad boy, daddy, you left us again with no explanation!" a tiny voice reprimanded.

Vegeta focused and found his darling blue haired daughter and perfect black flame haired boy seated on his chest; however, the planet's heavy gravity began to affect them. "Get off this planet! Everyone, now. Grab hold of either Kakarrot or myself!" the prince exclaimed and the group did as requested. Goku and Vegeta put two fingers to their foreheads and the group disappeared.

The group materialized on Earth back at Little Vegeta where the prince's anger exploded. Removing the chimps from his shoulders, he threw the two of them to the ground with enough force to cause small craters to appear when their bodies impacted the surface then the prince's tongue flew with a string of curses that made the king himself turn red in the face. The Saiya-jin turned away from the chastisement and paid the incident no mind. The humans on the other hand, reacted differently, namely one blue haired female whose image the blue haired infant girl mirrored.

"What the hell is your problem, Vegeta! That's my daughter, you animal! Oh, you're in for it now, mister. Child abuse is something I will not tolerate! When I get back to the main island, I'm filing for custody!" Bulma screeched over the din of Vegeta's rants.

"Stay out of this, Earth woman, this does not concern you! This female child knows better than to leave the planet without any other adult or myself!" Vegeta thundered, palm held forward to stay Bulma's progress, his eyes back to the two children who had gotten to their feet. "Well, what the hell's the matter with you two, do you have a death wish? That planet's gravity could have ripped you two to shreds and crushed you into my chest like flat cakes! The gravity's 500x the gravity of this planet, which neither of you have been trained in as yet to withstand that kind of pressure! Don't ever do it again!" Vegeta drew in a deep breath and lowered his arm from Bulma. He panted as if he had been training all day. Then, with Kakarrot's aid he knelt to be eye level with the two chimps.

Bulma stood aside in slight shock and Goku stood by her. "That SOB! I'll have his head on a skewer for injuring my baby like he did! He is so dead!" she screamed. "How dare he throw my child like a common rag doll!"

"Cilvi's ok, her skin's as tough as his is. Bulma he's scared! He would never hurt his children on purpose unless he's sparring with them! Look at his eyes! Everything he is reflects in his eyes. He would die if anything happened to either of those chimps. Watch and learn, Bulma," Goku hissed then moved to go stand with the prince and his children then placed his hand on the prince's shoulder.

Vegeta's gaze traveled the length of the arm on his shoulder then he looked back to the two chimps, which hung their heads in shame at their actions. "We're sorry daddy. We just got worried! You just got rescued from that blue skinned perverted thing and-

"I know you're worried over me, but daddy's a big boy and can take care of himself. I survived being Frieza's slave from the time he'd taken me as a Saiyan seven-year-old, so I can survive this, too. Besides, I left to save the earth from your Uncle Kakarrot, both your grand sires, momma and grandam because they flipped into daddy's level of power. They would have destroyed the planet had they not been removed and we love this planet, don't we?" Vegeta had calmed down from the hysterics that the appearance of his youngest offspring on a planet with so dense a gravity had caused him.

Vegeta looked once again to Goku whose hand was still on his shoulder. The prince lifted his right hand and adjoined it with the one resting on his shoulder. "Who was to be watching the pair of you?" Vegeta asked as he wrapped his tail around Goku's waist and pulled himself up from the kneeling position so that he could be eye level with the chimps. Once on his feet, Goku wrapped Vegeta in his newly acquired Pilzara tail. The prince leaned into Goku's side.

Bulma, who hadn't moved from the location she had watched Vegeta reprimand from, stood shocked. 'Vegeta and Goku! He hates the very ground Goku walks on...Oh, wait, didn't Chichi tell me that Goku left her two months after I had thrown the blockhead out of my life? How did Goku end up with him?' Bulma mused as she watched Goku lean his nose into Vegeta's hair. The prince gave the large Saiyan a slight shove.

The kids hung their heads. "We're sorry, daddy. Sagia tried to stop us and the others were busy with Trunks and Goten's other children to be much concerned over us. I know Instant Transmission, so I pictured you, grabbed Endy and, well, you know the rest," Cilvi explained as she kicked the loose sand with the toe of her white boot, the two children had taken to dressing in their dad's color of sapphire blue spandex, white gloves and boots. As with Trunks, the latest trip to the tank had washed out the temporary black coloring of her hair to restore it to her the mirror of her mother but she had the prince's firey temper and impatience. Shyly the child looked up to her dad. "A-are you gonna beat us, Outusan?"

Vegeta tossed his head back and looked down his nose at the chimps. "Tell me what that would solve? Oh, you'll pay for disobeying me, as of tomorrow, the pair of you will spar with your grand sires and your Uncles Raditz and Turles, understood?" the prince said in a flat tone of voice but the chimps were alight with excitement.

"OK, poppa!" Endive smiled.

"All right, daddy!" Cilvi chirped.

"All right, then, be off with the pair of you and good night," Vegeta smacked the kids' rears with his tail to shoo them to bed. After they had departed, he turned to Goku and placed a hand to that warrior's abdomen and looked up into his shining black eyes. He smiled a genuine smile-something he had been doing a lot of since his accidents. "I can't believe I got with child, baka. I really must have a talk with your Outusan," Vegeta smiled then his faced dropped in surprise. "Kakarrot!" was all he could gasp and he grabbed Goku's hand and placed it on under his.

Goku felt a rippled in his stomach that had nothing to do with hunger. "Vegeta, is that...? Oh, my God, she's so powerful, 'Geta! Oh, koi," tears sprang into the taller Saiyan's black eyes.

"Kakachan, she'll be a Femzoro when she's born," the prince smirked. Just then Kakarrot's alarm actually did sound off and caused both Saiya-jin to blush, glance at one another then fall into a fit of hysterics. Vegeta threw his arm around Goku. "C'mon, koi, I'd better feed the pair before you eat me!" Vegeta pulled on Goku's arm but the larger Saiyan held back.

Goku licked his lips and smirked. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea," he purred and nuzzled Vegeta's neck then nipped at the tender skin at the juncture of neck and shoulder. "Besides, I should tell you that I can't believe I got you with child, either, my bonny prince."

This caused the shorter Saiyan to yipe in surprise. "Kakarrot! C'mon, let's go, eat, I'm hungry, if you're not and I'm not breeding!" Vegeta smoke screened. He knew that he was but he wanted to give his mate something special and if he confirmed that he was carrying before delivery time... 'Why deny it? Everyone can see your body's tripled in size over the last six months since the others have been acquired,' the prince thought to himself.

The two warriors headed for the forest area of the little kingdom when...

"Boys, might we have a word with you?" it was the king's voice that had halted the prince and his mate in their progress.

The warriors bowed their heads as a fuller bow was hindered by their massive weight. "Your majesty, we are in your service," the two chorused together.

Bulma, who hadn't moved from where she had watched Vegeta reprimand the two infant children, nearly choked when she saw her beloved Goku bow to the Vegeta look-a-like, but then she nearly fell over backwards when she saw Prince Vegeta himself bow to the same being! Who was this character who could make even the mighty prince bow before him without a word. Curious, Bulma found 18, Krillin's, wife and asked her.

"18, who is that man who looks like Vegeta with a moustache and goatee? Everyone seems to fear him and Vegeta just bowed to him?" Bulma gasped in surprise.

18 regarded the blue haired president of Capsule Corp as if the woman had lost an eyeball. "You must be joking, right? You haven't put two and two together? That's Vegeta Ou, the prince's sire, and the king of the Saiya-jin race. He may not be as powerful nor as strong as Vegeta, but the prince does not laud his power over the king," 18 explained.

"I thought the king was a ruthless tyrant who had sold his race into the bondage of Frieza?" Bulma asked.

"Our king did not sell us to that white freak show. Quite the contrary, actually. He's the one who had sent all these you see before you off planet before freeze face obliterated those who could not or would not leave the planet. He, our king went so far as to attempt to rescue the prince, while Bardock, my Outusan tried to defend the entire planet. It was the King Vegeta before he was born that sold us as slaves to that white over lord. Thing's weren't so bad when his brother Cooler was around but once that prince left and Frieza was of age to control his own interests, he began to systematically poison us into doing his bidding. Yes, we are a warrior race but we never killed in cold blood. Only when the battle turned life threatening did we ever kill. Frieza made us into the planet pirates and race murderers we had been. When we sent Kakarrot to this planet, yes it was to carry out what Frieza had poisoned our race to be. When I found that he had not fulfilled that duty, I became livid but in all truth, if we had wanted to destroy this rock, do you think we, Nappa, Prince Vegeta and myself would have stopped to battle your defenses? We were the most powerful of our race, Vegeta, the epitome, but your warriors crushed us like we were nothing and why? Because my little brother, Kakarrot, became one of you and we saw through him what our proud race once was before Frieza." Raditz had passed the two females and had to defend his race from the narrow minded view he had given these weaklings so long ago when he had ventured to this planet to retrieve said little bother to join the prince and himself. He didn't include Nappa, that large Saiyan had the brain of pea and the intelligence of air.

"Who invited you to this party? I thought Piccolo killed you after that battle?" Bulma asked in her snide way.

"My other younger brother requested that the races of the universe that Frieza had us to destroy and that had been destroyed by freeze face himself be restored to the physical plane of existence. That included the Saiya-jin. I'll never forgive that white devil for what he did to my Outusan and my baby brother," and with that Raditz walked away and left the humans to ponder his words.

Truth to tell, if the Saiya-jin had of wanted to destroy the planet and with so many having taken refuge on the tiny blue ball of mud, there were plenty of opportunities. Even the prince himself, during the battle with Earth's Special Forces, didn't have to stop the battle for three hours to wait for the mighty Goku. He could have joined Nappa as he tore through Earth's military. Nonetheless, the two mighty warriors followed the king to see what he desired.

"My king, you wish our presence?" Prince Vegeta asked as he grabbed a pterodactyl wing and Goku grabbed the other drumstick. The two then aided one another into sitting positions.

"Bardock and I both know what you two have been through. Our own mateship fell under the same jeopardy once. That white bastard tried to break us in two. He nearly succeeded when he raped my pride and joy at the tender age of two," the king splurted out in a rush.

Vegeta winced and turned his head. "Outusan, please, no," he tried not to plead but tears sprang unbidden to his eyes. Goku sensed his mate's distress and not only tightened his tail around him but also lifted him into his lap and held him so that the tears could fall in a silent cascade.

"Your majesty... Fr-Frieza... My prince... when he was a baby?" Goku began to tremble. He could not lose it. He had to remain in control of his own emotions as his prince had lost the battle with his own.

Vegeta turned out from Goku's gi top and whispered, "I-is that what brought you to level, Outusan? Is that what you wanted to tell me earlier?"

"Yes, Oujimi. After he had stolen your innocence, he said that the only way he would break the alliance would be if I let him take you for 'special training' so that he could make a strong warrior out of you. That my training regarding you was inadequate," the king ground out and hit the ground with his fist.

Bardock took their king into his embrace, took hold of his Pilzara tail and stroked it. Goku did the same to the prince. Sunrissa, Onya, Kayla and Ceraina joined them.

"He'll pay. I swear if it's the last thing I do in this existence, I will make Frieza pay for what he did to our race and to our king and our prince!" Goku snarled in hot anger and he continued to stroke Vegeta's tail as he had surrendered the prince to his female.

"N-not alone, you won't. We'll destroy him as Vegetto," a whispered voice croaked. The prince sat up from his mate and turned red rimmed black eyes to Goku and the larger warrior nodded in agreement.

The king regarded his son with a puzzled expression, as did Bardock. "Who is Vegetto?" the king asked.

The prince gave a watery smile and moved to stand, motioning for Goku to follow him as he did so. Vegeta took to the air and Goku followed. Vegeta floated closer to Goku and handed the warrior something.

"Where did this come from?" Goku asked as he looked at what he had been handed.

Vegeta blushed and bit his lower lip. "Well, since the first time we used them, I kinda liked the way they looked, so I've been wearing them. I know that's crazy for a man to be wearing ear wear," Vegeta shook his head.

Goku smiled. "Not really. I've heard of some nationalities on this planet where ear wear on men is a symbol of authority. You are the Prince of the Saiya-jin, correct, mi amour? They just add to who you are. Besides, that blue freak prick wears them to show his authority," the large warrior nodded. "But wouldn't the fusion do harm to the infants and we would surely be a fright! Look at us, Vegeta! If we fuse together, wouldn't we be as the saying goes as big as a house?" Kakarrot asked and Vegeta stood pondering what the warrior had said.

"I'll ask Fuyung and Angelair to demonstrate for them," the prince said and called the two guards up to where the two mighty warriors floated.

The two guards bowed when the neared the royal couple. "How may we service you, Oujisama?" Fuyung asked.

"Trade fusion earrings and demonstrate for those newly restored to the life plane how the technique works. I know you two have been working on it," the prince nodded as he received the mate to his earring from his mate.

The guards did as requested and traded earrings as the prince and his mate returned ground-side to sit with their families. Parlissa and Chokarti were still on Earth, thus sat and watched as the earrings pulled the warrior guardsmen together to create a new being.

"W-who are you?" Parlissa stammered for she had not seen such a sight before, especially the melding of her dad and his brother.

"I am called Angelung as I am both Fuyung and Angelair," the dual voiced being explained.

"Son, that's amazing? Do you think we could fuse in that way?" the king asked as he surveyed Angelung.

"Anyone can by using the earrings. We had fused long ago when a monster called Majin Buu-"

"Yes, we observed that incident from other world. You two were... indescribable! Such power really stunned that Buu character," Bardock nodded.

"The fusion was supposed to be permanent, however, Buu absorbed us and we separated," Kakarrot explained as the group still surveyed Angelung.

"Try it. Outusan, you put one in Bardock's left ear. Bardock, you affix the other to his majesty's right ear," Vegeta instructed knowing that both their dad's had no trouble being so close to one another as he was still having with Goku.

The king and Bardock did as instructed then, as with the guards, the sires drew together into one being. Their power surged and shorted many electronic items around the tiny kingdom, then stood a warrior who was the near twin of Vegetto only he had a goatee and moustache and more of King Vegeta's looks than Bardock's.

"Amazing! Our powers have to be off the charts! It's unreal! We could have never imagined being this strong in our lives! What shall we call ourselves?" the fusion of Vegeta Ou and Bardock spoke.

"How about Vegedock? You look more like the king with Bardock's hair," the prince suggested and glanced at Goku who nodded in agreement.

"Hey, why don't we fight this new warrior. I think he's trying to move in on our territory, Vegeta," Goku snickered in a challenging manner.

Vegeta Ouji ran a lazy gaze over the larger Saiyan, then smirked, his tail snaking it's way to tickle under Goku's chin. "He can't. He already has your Outusan, but we could chop his ego up a bit," Vegeta spluttered a laugh then he turned to Angelung. "Angelung, your prince commands that you fight this new warrior in his place as you can see your prince is in no shape to do more than sit and eat," Vegeta Ouji laughed as he turned away from the fray.

Vegeta had replaced the jewel in his ear then took hold of his male passion and found a high log on which to sit. The two grabbed as much food as they could and sat to watch the fight and festivities in between eating and nibbling on one another as well as their dinners. Through the rest of the night, the canyon was littered with the sounds of heavy yet friendly battle as the Vegetasei restored Saiya-jin fought with the refugees on Earth. Fused and un-fused male and females answered the call for battle that pumped ferociously through their veins. The Earthlings that were permitted into this world were dumfounded at the speed; stamina and sheer fighting instinct of the race called Saiya-jin.
