CHAPTER XXXIV
A CHILD'S WISH
The Saiya-jin were once again gathered in the common room of Palace Carthagia and were discussing their future, especially that of the mutant demi-Saiya-jin. Gohan had voiced that he would relocate to the Lookout to live with his mate. It was also discussed that Gohan would solicit for sole custody of Pan and raise her with Trunks and Goten's children. Vegeta Ouji had put forth that he would turn over complete rule of Little Vegeta to his Earth born son, his mate and their family as well as the half breed off spring of Ceraina's elder brothers, Tormataeo and Collyard.
"Think of yourself as Prince of the Demi-Saiya-jin. There's never been such and all of you are worthy of being recognized as part of our race. We will establish total access and communication between the two planets and nearly all of you know Instant Transmission, so even if we'll be several light years away from you brats, we'll be within an eye blink's reach. Now, onto new business; however, this is more between K-san and myself: Trageta, Goten and Gohan should also have knowledge. The rest of you are dismissed to go about what you want. I know sparring is among top priority," Vegeta Ouji waved his hand to dismiss the other Saiya-jin who left the Earth Saiya-jin to their own devices. Vegeta turned to his mate and looked up at him. "Love, would you like to locate the children you had for that Earth weakling? They should know who at least one of their parents is, especially if they are exhibiting strange powers they cannot explain," Vegeta asked Kakarrot regarding his eldest children.
Just then, the scouter Vegeta wore crackled into life. "Vegeta no Ouji, speak," the prince said.
"Prince Vegeta, this is Professor Xavier. Is Kakarrot near by, I have some information he may be interested in," the X-team leader spoke through Vegeta's scouter.
"We'll move to the radar room so that you can share the info with the rest of us, especially if it concerns Saiya-jin," the prince replied, mentally told his family to lock hands and they all ITed to the radar room. Vegeta entered the code to the frequency on which the professor was transmitting. When the professor's face flared into plain view, the prince invited him to continue.
"Yes, a few days ago, fourteen mutants arrived at the center because they had been fired from their positions and their families had put them out. Each had four children of differing ages with them. The adults all resembled you, Kakarrot, to a good extent. There's seven of each gender. They also resemble one of your other comrades. Well, here, see for yourselves," Professor Xavier motioned for something off to his right side.
Kakarrot, Gohan and Goten gasped in surprise as they beheld fourteen faces like their own mixed with Yamcha's as well.
"D-Dad, they look like you and Yamcha!" Gohan spluttered, collapsing into his mate's arms.
"Y-you mean we have sibs we never met?" Goten sighed in awe.
Kakarrot was completely speechless. It was the very first time he had ever seen any of the results from the days Yamcha had been his lover. His eyes misted and his heart lurched as he gazed at the near mirror faces. Vegeta wisely held his peace then put a hand on his mate's shoulder.
"So, Matusan Kakarrot, have any words for your children?" Vegeta asked in a near whisper.
"His children? That's impossible!" one of the persons on Earth shrieked.
Vegeta turned to look at the screen. "I am Vegeta, the Prince of the Saiyan race. This is Kakarrot, the man many of you may notice that you resemble. We will be returning to Earth and when we do, I will personally visit the center and bring you to meet others like yourselves. I know you have questions and you'll get answers, I promise," the prince nodded.
"Vegeta? Aren't you married to Bulma Briefs and your son is named Trunks?" one of the females asked.
"I had been, about four years ago, but how did you know?" Vegeta eyed an older female; she must have been his mate's first.
"I'm Akannia Wong, I'm a teacher at the school Trunks graduated from. And you must be Goku? I had both your boys as students. I was floored when I saw Goten and he was your identical twin! Then one of the other students pointed out that he could be my brother," Akannia remarked as she addressed 'Goku.'
Kakarrot sobered. "Yes, I remember you but it never dawned on me... Vegeta, let's hurry and get back to Earth so that I can reunite with my elder children!" the larger Saiyan lost his composure, turned his back to the screen to let his emotions fly.
Vegeta patted his love on the back. "We'll be returning by dinner time. Professor, have them prepared to relocate to Little Vegeta. Vegeta Ouji out," Vegeta terminated the communication after the professor bade his farewell.
Vegeta turned to his mate but was beaten by their daughter, Teresahan and both Gohan and Goten. Vegeta let the four of them share in their own sorrow mixed with the happiness of finding one's lost children. Vegeta remembered the feeling when he had been told of the other Saiya-jin yet alive on Earth. It had not been so long ago but the feeling was incredible! Both sorrow and happiness rolled into one. The feeling had repeated itself when Ceraina had presented the most perfect little Saiyan male infant he had seen since the twins had been born of Raditz and he. Just then an excited yelp interrupted his musings.
"Yes, more sisters and brothers for me to love! Isn't that great, Endy!" It was Teresahan who had recovered and found the excitement of situation.
Kakarrot sobered from his own tears and smiled. He grabbed his daughter and hugged her. "Yes, sugerbee, Outusan's gonna bring his first half-breed children to Little Vegeta where they can train and be leveled up," Kakarrot explained.
"Outusan, can we spar? We haven't done that since you've been on planet and I'd love the chance to prove myself to you," the princess cooed, which sent shivers down Kakarrot's spine.
"I think that an excellent idea, brat. I'll take the chibi brats after I put the infants to bed," the prince smirked as daddy and daughter disappeared to a training area.
Vegeta likewise took his twins and two eldest infants, however, "I'll take the chimps, my prince." It was Bayrutha; Kakarrot's great-grandmother, with the offer and the prince released his newborns to his love's great-grandam.
"C'mon, chimps, time for a lesson in extreme pain," Vegeta smirked as he moved to head down to a training room.
Endive squealed with the unrestrained excitement of a child, however, Cilvanti was less than pleased at the prospect of going against her dad. Vegeta stopped and turned to his eldest infant daughter.
"If you're gonna be a wet blanket of a sudden, you can go find Pan but even she's more spirited than you are at this point in our existence. What is it that you want?" Vegeta yelled in exasperation, his hand raking into his hair.
A growl emitted from the prince's side. "Just let me blast that blue head from her shoulders then she'll learn her place!" Prince Endive snarled in perfect imitation of his Outusan.
"Princess, come with me. I think you are feeling the differences now," Kakarrot's sister, Garliqua, smiled at Cilvanti.
"I don't want to be different! I want to be my daddy's little girl again and not his second daughter, his baby! I will be his baby again!" Cilvanti powered up and took off to where Bayrutha had taken the newborns.
It didn't take the prince two thoughts to realize what his half-breed daughter was about. Grabbing his son and sister-in-law, the prince teleported to the nursery where he found a five-year-old blue haired lump covered in blood.
"That female fireball needs a lesson in Saiya-jin etiquette! If I wasn't heavy with your mate's chimp, I'd give it to her!" It was a very displeased Queen Vegetanna who, because of her condition, had taken to babysitting until her delivery. "That chi blast was about all I could muster," the queen spoke.
"I'm glad you did. She's got this jealous thing regarding the chibis and I can't fathom why. I mean, I was never jealous when the twins arrived. Her own brother was never jealous over her arrival. I loved them like I did Raditz before I knew he was my blood brother. Not even my other three were jealous when I had introduced them to one another and to the half-breeds. I mean, they all sparred, fought, drew blood and reacted in the normal Saiyan way, but they had deep feelings for one another. I just don't understand what's gotten into Cilvanti. I mean she was cool when we were on Earth and even around the other Saiya-jin. Her mood changed after the chibis arrived," Vegeta said slowly as he moved to take hold of his sleeping infants. "I want to love all my chimps equally but she's making that task difficult. I don't know what to do with her," Vegeta sighed then reached inside his gi top and pulled out a small pit. "Endy, shove this down her throat and refrain from killing her. The last thing I need is for the wicked bitch of West City to jump on me with both legs tied together," Vegeta handed his son a senzu bean and he put it into Cilvanti's throat and aided it into her system.
Vegetanna enfolded her grandson against her swollen abdomen as she had been lying on a double sized day bed where her great-grand chimps had been laid beside her. After several minutes, Cilvanti regained consciousness and her wounds were healed. She looked around the nursery and caught sight of her dad. She jumped up with a bow.
"Outusan!" she squeaked.
Vegeta gave a formal nod. "I am very displeased with you! Once I thought that you would make me proud like your elder sister but since the chibis entered the universe, you've been nothing but pain. You will be remaining on Earth with the other half-breeds. You will stay there until you grow out of this hatred you have developed towards the infants and me. I can't help the kind of male creature that I am. I'm happy to be able to breed once again; it's a mark of honor among our people for a royal male to be able to bring forth life of his own body. As a female and half a human, you'll never be able to understand what it means but Trageta does and he accepts it. He made me accept myself and open up to my deep feelings for K-san. I'm sorry I never told you about my ability to bare children but at the time, I thought I would never have any other besides Teray-san. You two go spar just try not to kill one another. We'll be heading back by dinner time," Vegeta shooed the chimps away then stretched out with his infants and his grandmother for a much needed rest.
Kakarrot and Teresahan had gone head to head and blow for blow but the parent Saiyan held back a lot of his power for fear he would seriously injure his eighth baby girl. As they fought, Kakarrot could only admire her strength, so like the man who had birthed her. Although she bore more of Kakarrot's physical features, her heart, fire and passion belonged to the prince. Especially when she barked orders at him and became frustrated.
"C'mon, daddy, don't hold back because I'm a girl! Prince Vegeta had me! Just think of him and his taunting tongue. I want to feel your full power so I can work to attain that level!" the Saiyan princess snarled and fired a blast at her taller parent.
Kakarrot countered and powered up to Super Saiyan-1 then gave her the sparring she asked for. For several minutes they fought then a blast caught the young girl and sent her into a wall. She fell to the ground in a bloody heap. Kakarrot powered down and ran to his daughter who was unconscious and just barely breathing. He panicked.
'Oh man. Oh man! God, Vegeta's gonna kill me if anything happens to our princess. Hnng, girl, why did you ask me to fight you at Super Saiyan? Senzu bean, yeah!' Kakarrot felt around his gi but could not find one. 'Shit, Vegeta's gonna cut me off and make me sleep in the doghouse! Wait!' Kakarrot snapped his fingers as if he remembered something then went to place his hand on his daughter, however, as he did so, a growl emitted from her being.
Teresahan jumped up, and with a mighty roar, her bluish-auburn highlighted black hair burst into spikes of gold, and her eyes turned teal jade. She had ascended and her tall parent stood frozen in awe. A feeling of disbelief and amazement washed over him and he remembered the time in the room of Time and Spirit when he was training Gohan to fight Cell. It was awesome to watch his pre-teen first-born son of a female attain the coveted level. Now, his daughter, born of the royal prince not long after the Cell incident, had just attained that same level and stood among a chosen few females who had actually attained the ascension. He was beside himself with joy and burst up to Super Saiyan-2.
Teresahan was in shock as she looked herself over, then moved to a mirror that was contained in the training room and could withstand the massive gravity all Saiya-jin trained under. She nearly passed out at the sight but opted to charge her parent and test her new found powers. The battle continued until a loud roar sounded, which brought a halt to the match.
"It must be lunch time, 'Tousan. Let's go find Matusan, the chimps, and chibis and go eat," the young princess suggested and powered down.
"Yeah, we'll have to get everyone together for the trip to Kaleregeta. C'mon, sugarbee," Kakarrot smiled and the two left the training room.
Vegeta had been awakened from his nap by a power surge. He had picked up the double spikes in energy and knew one to be his mate's but was unsure bout the second one until...
"Matusan, I did it! I finally ascended!" a squeal burst into the nursery.
The noise startled the slumbering petite chibis and they began to whimper like any newborns jerked up suddenly from their naps. Vegeta sat up, picked up the twins and began to soothe them. Teresahan and Kakarrot watched, then K-san took hold of his son and sat beside his mate.
"Hey, love. I thought you were gonna train with Endive and Cilvanti?" K-san asked, rocking the little prince who had grabbed a fist full of his Outusan's hair and began to suckle it.
"Cilvi pissed me off, so I sent the pair of them to spar alone. I think some little body is hungry, hey," Vegeta smiled then turned his attention to Teresahan. "Come, girl. I felt the spike in your chi but I wasn't' sure. Now, I am. Congratulations, love. Come, family, let us find the others, grab lunch and prepare for departure," the prince suggested after he had hugged and kissed his daughter, then he jumped off the day bed, handed Roma to her elder sister so he could assist the dowager queen.
"Matu, do I have to go with their majesties and the others when they leave for Kale?" the young princess asked as the small group made their way down a long hallway that was sandwiched between training rooms, medical rooms, the nursery and playrooms.
Vegeta shook his head, "Of course not, princess. I had planned on taking all my children with me this venture back to Earth then we'd all leave from there for Kale. You told me that you three wanted to come to Earth and bring K-san and I back to you," the prince smiled and ran his tail around his daughter's waist in a caressive manner but was not meant as a come on.
In Saiyan families, for the parent to caress their offspring with their tail was a sort of hug and a show of affection. The princess squealed with joy and returned her Matusan's tail hug.
"Oh, Matu, I can't wait to see that place! If you live there, I know it's beautiful!" Teray smiled and leaned to kiss her birth parent.
"Well, someone is sure excited. What gives, niece?" Raditz asked as he and Tormataeo stepped from a near training room. Kale and Collyard also exited a chamber and stood with the group.
"I just made level to Super Saiyan, Uncle Raditz, Uncle Kale! Plus, Matu said that he'd take me to Earth with him and Outusan this time, and the boys!" Teresahan was all beside herself.
"That's great to hear, Teray, honey! You'll like Earth, well for what it is. I didn't see much outside of the island where Vegeta lives," Kale replied.
Tormataeo, who had been standing close to Raditz, moved his hand to take hold of his mate's tail and play with it. "Raditz, love, come to Earth with me. Since my children are mutant demi-Saiya-jin and will be remaining with Prince Trageta, I'd like to spend as much time as possible with them before our relocation. Also, there's this little carnival/festival thing I always take the offspring to and I'd hate to up and break tradition. Plus, when my ex gets a look at you, he'll think twice before harassing me," Tormataeo purred and his mate dissolved into a puddle of goo. The others shook their heads at such a wanton display of cunning.
Vegeta grimaced. "What a revolting display of nonsense. I'm outta here," the prince started to move but was held back. He turned and found that two steel bands enshrouded in dark blue Saiyan spandex were squeezing him. "Kk, please, love. Not now," Vegeta squirmed against the steel bands he found holding him fast.
Kakarrot bent down and ran his tongue along the rim of his mate's ear. That action made the prince shudder. "What d'ya say, love, shall we take the chibis and chimps? Of course, you have to promise to behave yourself and not kill anyone or anything," the large Saiyan cooed in a whisper.
Vegeta snapped out of the haze his mate was eliciting. His eyes narrowed in hurt annoyance. The prince fought against blowing the fool's head off in a crowded corridor that would endanger the chimps. Vegeta tensed himself and said, "Oh, you just had to go there, didn't you? Fine, you sleep in your own room when we get back to Little Vegeta," the prince choked, his hands clenching and unclenching in agitated fists.
He loved K-san, but some of the things that steel trap mind chose to retain was quite beyond the scope of logic. Vegeta felt the hurt anger well inside him, so he ducked into a vacant trainer, locked the door, cranked the gravity to 1000x and roared. He knew that the heavier the gravity, the more intense his release, however, the sound carried to the corridor and made all gathered run for cover.
"Kakarrot, what did you say to him? He is beyond angry!" Raditz asked his little brother.
"That carnival your mate mentioned, I figured he and I could take our young'uns but he had to promise not try to kill anyone or anything there. When Trageta was a boy of about five, he took him, entered a fighting match, killed his opponent and half the crowd at the event and ended up behind bars. I guess that's still a sore subject with him. It was around that area where he had his change of heart. I'd better talk to him and apologize. Could you watch the chibis, my brother?"
After Raditz had agreed to watch the little ones, Goku winked out and straight to his mate. With a punch to the jaw, Kakarrot sent the smaller prince flying into a wall. Vegeta hit with a sickening crack then fell to the floor. Kakarrot waited for his opponent to rise but he didn't, so the larger Saiyan moved to where his prince had fallen and his eyes met with a gruesome sight. The prince lay bathing in a pool of his own blood. Immediately, Kakarrot moved to power down the trainer and his eyes widened when he noted 1000x on the gravitron. When had the prince begun training in 1000x gravs? Not wasting the time to think, Kakarrot punched in the code to disable the machine, then he went to aid his mate. Possessing the power of levitation, Kakarrot did just that. He lifted the injured prince with his mind so that he could administer a senzu bean. After injecting the bean, Kakarrot lowered the prince to another part of the trainer and waited for his wounds to heal.
Vegeta slowly regained consciousness, looked around and found that he could not move. 'What the hell happened? Why can't I move?' he asked and began to tremble.
'Easy, my prince. You're okay, you just have a spinal injury and you're in a horizontal tank, strapped down to avoid sudden movements. I hit you when you were venting your upset over my callous reminder of the CCWC. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break your back, but the medics say that you should be able to walk within then next few hours. I will sleep in my room when we return to Little Vegeta,' K-san replied through the shared mental link.
'K-san? Why did you hurt me? I was angry with myself so you didn't have to help the situation. I had no intention of even entering that stupid, fighting thing against the Pokemon. I'm much too strong to go against those creatures. I'd much rather fight enemies who threaten our existence, not beings, who have no defense against me. Let me rest so I can be up to bid the others farewell. Oh, send Cilvanti to me,' Vegeta requested before communication was amended.
'You wanted to see me, 'Tousan?' a tiny voice asked through another link not five minutes later.
'Why are you so jealous over Roma and Chardonblis?' the prince asked the blue haired Earth aged five-year old.
'They took you away from me! Those three are full Saiya-jin and Trageta and I are mutant Saiya-jin. We're not acceptable; even you have said so. When the king declared Vegetzu as your heir, I was hurt, especially when you knocked around Uncle Kakarrot for mentioning Trageta as your named heir. Why can't he be your heir?' Cilvanti began to cry through the link.
'Stop that sniveling, brat! Did you not hear me this morning? I have named Trageta Prince of the Mutant Demi-Saiya-jin. He is also that woman's heir and I cannot take him with me. I would love to take you, but I do not know how many others have survived. A Saiyan with half-breed offspring is an embarrassment to the race let alone the family. I am of the royal family and therefor my heir must be pure blood. Things would be different had I never discovered the existence of the other Saiya-jin on Earth. The Saiya-jin here have no qualms about accepting differences as this planet is a stopover for weary travelers, that is why you two were never questioned, even with Rageta and Vegetzu. At the time, I could not claim them as my heirs because they had been male born. There was a dictate on the home planet that the heir to Vegetasei must be female born, that was why I had so named your brother. I treated you as I did because you were born of the woman and when she dist me, I had to bring you two with me. She couldn't have raised either of you, although she did do a fair job with your brother, of course K-san was there to aid. Cilvi, please, don't hate the twins. You don't hate the elder ones, why hate the younger ones?' the prince questioned at the end of his mental speech.
'They took your love away from me. I feel abandoned, alone and disliked, especially by you. I know how you feel about the weak humans but... Daddy I love you. I wish I was a black haired Saiyan so that you could love me, too,' and with that, Cilvanti left the medical room, missing the tear that escaped her male parent's eye.
Cilvi's words stayed in Vegeta's mind, so that when he awoke several hours later, they came back to him with startling force. His body thrashed in the tank and the automated voice sounded that alerted any person outside the chamber that patient was ready for release. Several Saiya-jin ran to the tank, however, the prince's mate edged the others out, punched in the drain code to begin the release sequence. Once the tank was empty, the cover lifted, the prince moved to stand but teetered off balance. Strong arms caught him and steadied his frame.
"Let me go! It's because of you, I was sent there in the first! Now, excuse me, I have something that needs my immediate attention before my departure back to Earth!" Vegeta shoved against Kakarrot, stumbled but put his hand out to stay any assistance, then made his way out of the room. Once in his chamber, the prince changed his attire to a gray- black set of spandex, he located a senzu bean, ingested it then left the palace intent upon the business he had promised.
Vegeta had made his way to the cave in which his hideaway was located. In the same area were seven cubbyholes where he knew the planet's dragon balls were stashed. The balls were larger than Earth's Dragon Balls but smaller than Namek's; thus he was able to gather three at a time. Once he had all the balls, he then placed them in the circle formation and they began to glow. At the palace, those, who were sensitive to energy felt the power surge, then the locals, natives and visitors all ran out of various dwellings in time to witness the sky grow midnight black.
"What's happening? The sky's so dark! King Aegar?" the scared people looked to their king for answers.
"Someone has summoned Perseus, our dragon! Wait! Vegeta! Everyone, to the cliffs!" the golden king ordered and all present took to the air. Someone who could fly carried the beings that couldn't fly. Within minutes, it seemed the entire population of Planet Minerva had descended on the clearing above the cliffs. "Vegeta, what are you doing?" Aegar asked his black haired cousin.
"What does it look like? I destroyed a planet, and I'm gonna restore it!" the prince shouted over the explosion that rocked the planet as the dragon burst free from his resting-place.
"WHO HAST SUMMONED ME, PERSEUS, FROM MY SLUMBER AND WHY, MOTRAL ONE?" the deep-voice of a dragon larger than Shen-Ron and smaller than Parunga bellowed in the native tongue of the planet.
"I, Vegeta no Ouji, Prince of the Saiyan race has summoned you!" Vegeta shouted in the Minervian language.
Those gathered stood awestruck with wonder. Even though many had seen the dragons of both Earth and Namek, this sight was no less impressive. Even the locals were surprised at this appearance.
"I SHALL GRANT THEE TWO WISHES AND NO MORE! CHOOSE WISELY. NOW, NAME THY WISHES!" the dragon bellowed as his blood red eyes stared at the crowd.
"For my first wish, restore Planet Magnetara without Frieza's ship attached," the prince shouted his wish.
Persus's eyes glowed red like the other two serpentine beasts, which signaled the wish had been granted. "THAT WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. NAME THY SECOND WISH!" he demanded.
"If I express it mentally, can you fulfill it just the same as if I spoke it?' Vegeta shouted.
"I AM SO ABLE. NAME YOUR WISH!" the dragon bellowed. Vegeta closed his eyes and spoke to the dragon. "ART THOU SURE THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT? YOU REALIZE IT WILL BARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES!"
"I am aware but it is the wish, nonetheless," Vegeta replied. 'I want her to know that I do love her enough to do this for her. She may not realize what the circumstances will be but that is something we will face together as a family,' the prince thought to himself, then he looked down at his blue-haired daughter.
"SO BE IT! THAT WISH IS GRANTED! FARETHEEWELL, MORTAL ONES!" the dragon bade, faded back into the balls, which then levitated to return to their resting-place.
Vegeta turned again to look at Cilvanti and sure enough, her blue hair had been replaced by midnight black and her tail turned to sable brown. A scream from the crowd brought the prince to the ground.
"M-m-my baby! What have you done to my baby? Vegeta, I'll kill you!" a banshee pitched voice snarled.
"You touch my prince and I'll skewer you, Earthling!" Cilvanti charged in front of her male parent. "I blasted you once and just injured you. I won't hesitate to end your miserable existence and put you out of my prince's misery!" the eldest younger princess snarled.
The humans were speechless, as were Kakarrot, Trageta and Goten. Pan was bordering on shocked and horrified but happiness won the battle.
"Cilvi, you have black hair and eyes like me! You're a full Saiyan! You're beautiful!" Pan squealed but Cilvanti turned hard eyes onto her childhood friend.
"You're the quarter breed, aren't you? I have no time for you. I am a Saiyan Oujo and I have a little brother and sister who need a guide. Go back to Earth with the other half breeds and mutant Saiya-jin," the young princess spat as she looked down her nose at her 'friend.'
"Cilvi! How can you be so cruel? Even your Outusan accepts me. Vegeta!" the young mutant Saiyan cried as she fell to her knees, her little four-year old body wracked with painful sobs.
"Cilvanti! Apologize to Pan at once!" the Ouji commanded and Cilvanti huffed. "She has proven herself acceptable to our race," the prince nodded to his daughter.
"Sorry, Pan. You want to continue being my friend... Oh, wait, I'll be going to Kale with my 'Tousan... but we can still spar. I wanna pound you into the ground!" Cilvanti snarled, perfect imitation of her Outusan.
Just then all eyes narrowed onto Vegeta, who himself was torn between happiness and despair, however, the prince refused to give in to either emotion and stood rigid.
"Don't look at me that way! This is not my fault! It was her wish, not my own!" Vegeta replied in defense of himself. Wait, he shouldn't have to justify his motives to these losers, was he crazy?
"Oh, and you expect us to believe that? You're just as selfish as ever and you did this because-" Yamcha never got to complete his dress down of the prince as a small fist found its way into his chest.
"Only the king shall dress down the Ouji! You low lives don't even deserve to breath his air! If we're done here, I'd like to spar with somebody before we all depart!" Cilvanti snapped after she had KOed the large super human.
"Princess, who're your parents?" the queen asked as she took note that her grand daughter now resembled Teresahan, a mix of Kakarrot and the prince.
"My Outusan is Vegeta no Ouji and my Matusan is Kakarrot," the young princess replied.
Bulma shrieked. "NO! I had you! I lay in the hospital for many hours in labor waiting to deliver you! How could you do this?" Bulma cried, as she fell onto Yamcha, who was still unconscious, and buried her head into his yellow dress suit
"You were just my hosing material, witch! It was horrible that I turned out to look as you do and until now, my appearance didn't phase me until I met the people of my Outusan! When we found the others who are living on Earth, I could see how happy my daddy was, and through our link, I could hear his despair that I was not born a true Saiyan but the chance never presented itself to change that incidental. He had to use the Earth dragon balls to aid the Templerians. Then that piece of blue puke shit, Zarbon kidnapped 'Tousan drugged him, which caused all of us linked to the prince in some way to fall unconscious or feel some effects. Then came the destruction of Magnetara and daddy remarking that it could be restored with a wish. Earlier, while daddy recovered, I said that I wished I was a true Saiyan so that he would love me again," the little Oujo sighed as she explained.
"I had no trouble with you until the chimps were brought into the Universe by Kakarrot and myself. Cilvi-chan, honey, you were having such a difficult time accepting male bearing being the way of most Saiya-jin, that when you said what you did, I figured, what could it hurt? If it was the only way for you to accept the heritage of your Outusan, it was worth a shot. I wanted you to love me once again as well, so I made the wish. I can't love one of my children above another because I love you all equally but you would have none of that after the chibis arrived," the prince fought to keep his emotions in check.
Cilvi looked to her male parent and moved to hug him. "I love you, 'Tousan, and I love the twins and I thank you for making my wish. I always wanted you and Kakarrot as my parents. You're right, I was jealous of the chibis and Endive because they were full Saiya-jin and I was a half-breed. I was happy when my hair had been died black but my tail was blue and that was a tell-tale sign of my mixed heritage. While I stayed with the others, even though the other kids pretended to be my friends, I knew that they weren't. I just wanted to be the child my Ouji would be proud of," Cilvi lost the battle with her own emotions and burst into tears.
Vegeta held his daughter close to his chest. "Friends?" he asked and shared her tears.
"Forever, 'Tousan, and I'll make you proud of me," Cilvi sniffed. "I want to stay a full Saiyan. I like this. Where's my brother and sister?" the little Oujo looked around for the chibis then saw them sleeping in their Uncles Raditz and Kale's arms. Letting go of the prince, the little Oujo moved to her uncles, held her arms open to take hold of the two. Once she had them, she nuzzled them, kissed them and held them close. "I love you and I'm glad my 'Tousans had you. I can't wait till you're old enough to spar with," she whispered, then handed them back to her uncles. "C'mon, Pan, Endive, kids, lets go train before we all depart," Cilvi suggested and the under (Earth-aged) ten crowd jumped into the air and flew off, the senior aged Saiyan females opting to go along with them and keep watch.
The prince turned his back to the crowd and walked off to the edge of the cliffs where he stood for a brief minute then leaned forward, and fell headlong into the churning sea below, however...
"Vegeta, no!" Kakarrot ran to the point over which his prince had fallen and searched the rocky bottom, the sea churned below to create massive waves and swirling whirlpools strong enough to suck in the strongest swimmer. Closing his eyes, the large warrior felt for his mate's chi but found no trace of it. "NO! You idiot, why? Are you that weak?" Kakarrot pounded the ground with his fists as he sobbed his insides out.
"Daddy, Matu's not dead, he's just upset. The dragon said there would be serious consequences to the wish. Besides, at the bottom of this cliff is a tunnel that leads to the manor but the entrance can't be seen as we're standing above it" Teresahan patted her Outusan on the back.
"W-what do you mean he's not dead, Teray? I can't feel his chi! He's closed the link!" K-san hiccuped on a tear in his throat and squeezed his eyes shut.
Just then Bulma found her tongue and said, "If I could kill that selfish little moocher, I would! How dare he wish my child away like that!" she huffed.
"That child intended to kill the chibis out of jealousy! If I hadn't of stopped her, she'd be dinner tonight!" Queen Vegetanna hissed in response.
"You are the most disgusting race of beings I've ever encountered! Male breeding, cannibalism, same gender relations! Sickening! If I had known other Saiya-jin had exited on Earth, I-" Chichi was unable to finish her dress down as she was sent flying across the common.
Kakarrot stood heaving in anger. "Take that piece of trash out of my sight before I do what I should have done years ago!" it was Kakarrot who had blasted Chichi into a boulder.
Kakarrot's Earth friends stood in complete shock. He had never stood up to that witch until he had moved in with Vegeta and began emulating the prince more often than not. It dawned on all the other warriors, except 18, that the being the others had known and raised and loved as 'Son Goku' was no more. Kakarrot was now in full control, never to return to the goofy, mindless wonder that had been 'Goku.'
"When will you weaklings learn that it is no disgrace for a male in our race and in high society to breed? On Vegetasei, there were not enough females and those available became the mates of high-ranking warriors and the royals as well! However, one of my grand Tousans had been injured in a battle and he was dying. His best friend, a low-level officer stayed with him while others continued to battle. Well, the other warriors returned to the home planet but the prince and the warrior remained behind, as the prince was not strong enough to travel. During his recovery, it is said that he went into heat but had no one to release to. The warrior offered himself but the prince took the advance and told the warrior that he could take him as reward for his dedication and loyalty to the crown. When the two returned to Vegeta, the prince found out his Outusan was dead, he was king and he was carrying. He had to wear huge robes to cover his girth but being single, he would not be able to explain the sudden appearance of chibis. He knew his warrior had been planning to marry, so he arranged with him to adopt all chibis that resulted from their couplings. Once Saiyan males have had one another, they do not desire another," the king had stepped forth with the narrative.
"The trip to Ispan-12 was not the first time Vegeta and I had been together. We started during the three years we all where training to fight the androids. It was not long after Trageta had been born. Vegeta was trying to train in the gravity chamber but you kept interrupting him, Bulma, so he left and found his way to where Gohan, Piccolo and I were training. He and I began to spar and one thing led to another. Neither of us thought anything about breeding and he knew he could not because of his years with Frieza and pushing that devil's spawn into the universe. We were together up until he left for space to continue his training. I knew why he was leaving. It was getting to where our passion was superceding our training and he was no closer to Super Saiyan than the day he started. On his return, I could feel his power although I was unconscious. Be that as it may, after I recovered and rejoined the fight then fought against Cell, I could feel his every fiber being torn to shreds. When I sacrificed myself I had to look at Gohan but my heart and mind were on Vegeta. It wasn't until I was in Other World, that I found that I had left a present behind with Vegeta. The happiest time for both of us came when you threw him out. And before you say anything, I knew all about Ceraina. Vegeta moved her into the palace not long after the boys had gotten together. I knew of the boys but Vegeta wouldn't acknowledge such a thing, even between us. Vegeta's my life now and I hate for anyone to hurt him in any way," Kakarrot explained with a hard edge to his voice, his tail lashing the air in agitation.
"K-san, does your soul feel as if it's being ripped in half?" the king asked, with a strong look at his son's mate.
"N-no. I-,"Kakarrot closed his eyes and envisioned his mate. He gasped. "I-I see him! He's at the manor under ground and is in some kind of metal painted room. He's playing some kind of instrument with a stick!" the large Saiyan allowed a small smile.
"A violin!" Trageta exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" a crowd shrieked in disbelief.
"A violin! Dad says its one of the few Earth things he enjoys! He loves playing the violin as much as he does the dherra. Femme chimp must have sent him for a loop with that wish," Trageta remarked as he had his tail wrapped around his mate's waist and the two held their own newborn chimps, who were born a month before Roma and Chardonblis. Their names being Yohimbe and Yukama, the very children Vegeta had seen when he and the others had been in Other World nearly sometime ago.
"That's part of it but he also feels that his mate is less than satisfied with what has transpired. He needs to feel that this changes nothing between the most important people in his life. Trageta?" it was the queen who questioned her grand son.
"I'm a mutant demi-Saiyan and I'm proud of it. I love my differences and the only ones who I have to please are my mate and our family. Besides, he did declare me as Prince of the Demi-Saiya-jin. Chimp's always been a handful and if by becoming a full Saiyan was her way to feel part of 'Tousan's life, I'm happy for her. I know her training will be rigid but I know she'll love it. She's always wanted to be like 'Tousan. It was her suggestion she and I dye our hair to be like the pure bloods but I was uncomfortable, as was my mate. No worry, when 'Tousan calms down, he'll return. I have learned over the years that it's best to let him grieve in private," Trageta shrugged and hugged both Goten and the chibi he held in his arms.
"Rageta, Vegetzu?"
"What should it matter to us? Matusan's always loved the three of us in his own way," Vegetzu nodded.
"I need to go talk to him. I'm the one who pissed him off along with Cilvi. I didn't have to try and kill him when he was venting his upset at my mention of the Water Carnival and what happened when he went so many years ago," Kakarrot sighed.
"The CCWC? When did that come about?" Trageta asked in surprise.
"I mentioned it to Raditz because I always take my chimps and chibis every year and since this maybe the last year, I wanted to spend as much time with them before I left the planet," Tormataeo hung his head.
"Same for me, young prince. I want Kale to experience the fun and thrill of the carnival with the kids and myself," Collyard remarked.
"I'd better go talk to him. He's gonna beat the snot out of me, anyway," Kakarrot sighed.
"As much as you deserve it, no. I'd like to take the kids to that accursed thing and I will behave myself. After all, it's not fitting for an Oujo to fly off the handle and kill at every turn," a voice sounded behind Kakarrot.
"Vegeta! I thought you were sulking?" Raditz noticed his younger brother first.
Kakarrot spun around and caught sight of his handsome mate and both excitement and despair welled up in his being. "M-mi amour? But I-I just saw you in the manor?" the large warrior gasped.
The prince smirked and moved closer to his family. "I know, I felt your presence and realized how idiotic I was acting. It was just a flamin' wish that I made for my soon to be Saiyan three-year old daughter. As long as she's happy and I was able to get back at that harpy that birthed my younger princess. I also did it to save our chibis, K-san, because she would have killed them had Mommatanna not have stopped her. I know you wouldn't have wanted that. I did it because I wanted both you and her to know that I love you beyond everything possible except the one who created us," the prince sighed and moved to hug his koi.
"Love, what did you mean by it wouldn't be fitting that an Oujo to fly off the handle and kill at every turn?" the large warrior asked as he looked down into his mate's dark eyes. The organ that pumped his life blood seeming to turn in on itself with a ripple.
"I meant, mi amour, that as the Saiya-jin no Oujo, it wouldn't do to strike down the helpless. You know how much I've changed over through the years. Besides, if I went to the CCWC as Velmora and not myself, I'd be more in control of my temper," Vegeta purred as he walked his fingers up his mate's broad chest. Encircling the thick neck of the taller Saiyan, Vegeta pulled his love in for a kiss that literally shook the ground.
"All right, you two, enough of that! We've got people to bid a safe trip then leave ourselves," Raditz pointed out as he wrapped his mate in his tree branch thick tail.
Vegeta slowly broke the embrace and nodded to his mate. 'Wait till we get back to Little Vegeta. That little stunt you pulled last night... I want an encore performance,' Vegeta winked to his koi then turned to the others present and instructed them to hold onto either himself, K-san or one of the boys. Within an eyeblink, the crowd winked out of sight only to reappear in the common room where both Saiya-jin and humans alike gathered in preparation for departure.
CHAPTER XXXIV
A CHILD'S WISH
The Saiya-jin were once again gathered in the common room of Palace Carthagia and were discussing their future, especially that of the mutant demi-Saiya-jin. Gohan had voiced that he would relocate to the Lookout to live with his mate. It was also discussed that Gohan would solicit for sole custody of Pan and raise her with Trunks and Goten's children. Vegeta Ouji had put forth that he would turn over complete rule of Little Vegeta to his Earth born son, his mate and their family as well as the half breed off spring of Ceraina's elder brothers, Tormataeo and Collyard.
"Think of yourself as Prince of the Demi-Saiya-jin. There's never been such and all of you are worthy of being recognized as part of our race. We will establish total access and communication between the two planets and nearly all of you know Instant Transmission, so even if we'll be several light years away from you brats, we'll be within an eye blink's reach. Now, onto new business; however, this is more between K-san and myself: Trageta, Goten and Gohan should also have knowledge. The rest of you are dismissed to go about what you want. I know sparring is among top priority," Vegeta Ouji waved his hand to dismiss the other Saiya-jin who left the Earth Saiya-jin to their own devices. Vegeta turned to his mate and looked up at him. "Love, would you like to locate the children you had for that Earth weakling? They should know who at least one of their parents is, especially if they are exhibiting strange powers they cannot explain," Vegeta asked Kakarrot regarding his eldest children.
Just then, the scouter Vegeta wore crackled into life. "Vegeta no Ouji, speak," the prince said.
"Prince Vegeta, this is Professor Xavier. Is Kakarrot near by, I have some information he may be interested in," the X-team leader spoke through Vegeta's scouter.
"We'll move to the radar room so that you can share the info with the rest of us, especially if it concerns Saiya-jin," the prince replied, mentally told his family to lock hands and they all ITed to the radar room. Vegeta entered the code to the frequency on which the professor was transmitting. When the professor's face flared into plain view, the prince invited him to continue.
"Yes, a few days ago, fourteen mutants arrived at the center because they had been fired from their positions and their families had put them out. Each had four children of differing ages with them. The adults all resembled you, Kakarrot, to a good extent. There's seven of each gender. They also resemble one of your other comrades. Well, here, see for yourselves," Professor Xavier motioned for something off to his right side.
Kakarrot, Gohan and Goten gasped in surprise as they beheld fourteen faces like their own mixed with Yamcha's as well.
"D-Dad, they look like you and Yamcha!" Gohan spluttered, collapsing into his mate's arms.
"Y-you mean we have sibs we never met?" Goten sighed in awe.
Kakarrot was completely speechless. It was the very first time he had ever seen any of the results from the days Yamcha had been his lover. His eyes misted and his heart lurched as he gazed at the near mirror faces. Vegeta wisely held his peace then put a hand on his mate's shoulder.
"So, Matusan Kakarrot, have any words for your children?" Vegeta asked in a near whisper.
"His children? That's impossible!" one of the persons on Earth shrieked.
Vegeta turned to look at the screen. "I am Vegeta, the Prince of the Saiyan race. This is Kakarrot, the man many of you may notice that you resemble. We will be returning to Earth and when we do, I will personally visit the center and bring you to meet others like yourselves. I know you have questions and you'll get answers, I promise," the prince nodded.
"Vegeta? Aren't you married to Bulma Briefs and your son is named Trunks?" one of the females asked.
"I had been, about four years ago, but how did you know?" Vegeta eyed an older female; she must have been his mate's first.
"I'm Akannia Wong, I'm a teacher at the school Trunks graduated from. And you must be Goku? I had both your boys as students. I was floored when I saw Goten and he was your identical twin! Then one of the other students pointed out that he could be my brother," Akannia remarked as she addressed 'Goku.'
Kakarrot sobered. "Yes, I remember you but it never dawned on me... Vegeta, let's hurry and get back to Earth so that I can reunite with my elder children!" the larger Saiyan lost his composure, turned his back to the screen to let his emotions fly.
Vegeta patted his love on the back. "We'll be returning by dinner time. Professor, have them prepared to relocate to Little Vegeta. Vegeta Ouji out," Vegeta terminated the communication after the professor bade his farewell.
Vegeta turned to his mate but was beaten by their daughter, Teresahan and both Gohan and Goten. Vegeta let the four of them share in their own sorrow mixed with the happiness of finding one's lost children. Vegeta remembered the feeling when he had been told of the other Saiya-jin yet alive on Earth. It had not been so long ago but the feeling was incredible! Both sorrow and happiness rolled into one. The feeling had repeated itself when Ceraina had presented the most perfect little Saiyan male infant he had seen since the twins had been born of Raditz and he. Just then an excited yelp interrupted his musings.
"Yes, more sisters and brothers for me to love! Isn't that great, Endy!" It was Teresahan who had recovered and found the excitement of situation.
Kakarrot sobered from his own tears and smiled. He grabbed his daughter and hugged her. "Yes, sugerbee, Outusan's gonna bring his first half-breed children to Little Vegeta where they can train and be leveled up," Kakarrot explained.
"Outusan, can we spar? We haven't done that since you've been on planet and I'd love the chance to prove myself to you," the princess cooed, which sent shivers down Kakarrot's spine.
"I think that an excellent idea, brat. I'll take the chibi brats after I put the infants to bed," the prince smirked as daddy and daughter disappeared to a training area.
Vegeta likewise took his twins and two eldest infants, however, "I'll take the chimps, my prince." It was Bayrutha; Kakarrot's great-grandmother, with the offer and the prince released his newborns to his love's great-grandam.
"C'mon, chimps, time for a lesson in extreme pain," Vegeta smirked as he moved to head down to a training room.
Endive squealed with the unrestrained excitement of a child, however, Cilvanti was less than pleased at the prospect of going against her dad. Vegeta stopped and turned to his eldest infant daughter.
"If you're gonna be a wet blanket of a sudden, you can go find Pan but even she's more spirited than you are at this point in our existence. What is it that you want?" Vegeta yelled in exasperation, his hand raking into his hair.
A growl emitted from the prince's side. "Just let me blast that blue head from her shoulders then she'll learn her place!" Prince Endive snarled in perfect imitation of his Outusan.
"Princess, come with me. I think you are feeling the differences now," Kakarrot's sister, Garliqua, smiled at Cilvanti.
"I don't want to be different! I want to be my daddy's little girl again and not his second daughter, his baby! I will be his baby again!" Cilvanti powered up and took off to where Bayrutha had taken the newborns.
It didn't take the prince two thoughts to realize what his half-breed daughter was about. Grabbing his son and sister-in-law, the prince teleported to the nursery where he found a five-year-old blue haired lump covered in blood.
"That female fireball needs a lesson in Saiya-jin etiquette! If I wasn't heavy with your mate's chimp, I'd give it to her!" It was a very displeased Queen Vegetanna who, because of her condition, had taken to babysitting until her delivery. "That chi blast was about all I could muster," the queen spoke.
"I'm glad you did. She's got this jealous thing regarding the chibis and I can't fathom why. I mean, I was never jealous when the twins arrived. Her own brother was never jealous over her arrival. I loved them like I did Raditz before I knew he was my blood brother. Not even my other three were jealous when I had introduced them to one another and to the half-breeds. I mean, they all sparred, fought, drew blood and reacted in the normal Saiyan way, but they had deep feelings for one another. I just don't understand what's gotten into Cilvanti. I mean she was cool when we were on Earth and even around the other Saiya-jin. Her mood changed after the chibis arrived," Vegeta said slowly as he moved to take hold of his sleeping infants. "I want to love all my chimps equally but she's making that task difficult. I don't know what to do with her," Vegeta sighed then reached inside his gi top and pulled out a small pit. "Endy, shove this down her throat and refrain from killing her. The last thing I need is for the wicked bitch of West City to jump on me with both legs tied together," Vegeta handed his son a senzu bean and he put it into Cilvanti's throat and aided it into her system.
Vegetanna enfolded her grandson against her swollen abdomen as she had been lying on a double sized day bed where her great-grand chimps had been laid beside her. After several minutes, Cilvanti regained consciousness and her wounds were healed. She looked around the nursery and caught sight of her dad. She jumped up with a bow.
"Outusan!" she squeaked.
Vegeta gave a formal nod. "I am very displeased with you! Once I thought that you would make me proud like your elder sister but since the chibis entered the universe, you've been nothing but pain. You will be remaining on Earth with the other half-breeds. You will stay there until you grow out of this hatred you have developed towards the infants and me. I can't help the kind of male creature that I am. I'm happy to be able to breed once again; it's a mark of honor among our people for a royal male to be able to bring forth life of his own body. As a female and half a human, you'll never be able to understand what it means but Trageta does and he accepts it. He made me accept myself and open up to my deep feelings for K-san. I'm sorry I never told you about my ability to bare children but at the time, I thought I would never have any other besides Teray-san. You two go spar just try not to kill one another. We'll be heading back by dinner time," Vegeta shooed the chimps away then stretched out with his infants and his grandmother for a much needed rest.
Kakarrot and Teresahan had gone head to head and blow for blow but the parent Saiyan held back a lot of his power for fear he would seriously injure his eighth baby girl. As they fought, Kakarrot could only admire her strength, so like the man who had birthed her. Although she bore more of Kakarrot's physical features, her heart, fire and passion belonged to the prince. Especially when she barked orders at him and became frustrated.
"C'mon, daddy, don't hold back because I'm a girl! Prince Vegeta had me! Just think of him and his taunting tongue. I want to feel your full power so I can work to attain that level!" the Saiyan princess snarled and fired a blast at her taller parent.
Kakarrot countered and powered up to Super Saiyan-1 then gave her the sparring she asked for. For several minutes they fought then a blast caught the young girl and sent her into a wall. She fell to the ground in a bloody heap. Kakarrot powered down and ran to his daughter who was unconscious and just barely breathing. He panicked.
'Oh man. Oh man! God, Vegeta's gonna kill me if anything happens to our princess. Hnng, girl, why did you ask me to fight you at Super Saiyan? Senzu bean, yeah!' Kakarrot felt around his gi but could not find one. 'Shit, Vegeta's gonna cut me off and make me sleep in the doghouse! Wait!' Kakarrot snapped his fingers as if he remembered something then went to place his hand on his daughter, however, as he did so, a growl emitted from her being.
Teresahan jumped up, and with a mighty roar, her bluish-auburn highlighted black hair burst into spikes of gold, and her eyes turned teal jade. She had ascended and her tall parent stood frozen in awe. A feeling of disbelief and amazement washed over him and he remembered the time in the room of Time and Spirit when he was training Gohan to fight Cell. It was awesome to watch his pre-teen first-born son of a female attain the coveted level. Now, his daughter, born of the royal prince not long after the Cell incident, had just attained that same level and stood among a chosen few females who had actually attained the ascension. He was beside himself with joy and burst up to Super Saiyan-2.
Teresahan was in shock as she looked herself over, then moved to a mirror that was contained in the training room and could withstand the massive gravity all Saiya-jin trained under. She nearly passed out at the sight but opted to charge her parent and test her new found powers. The battle continued until a loud roar sounded, which brought a halt to the match.
"It must be lunch time, 'Tousan. Let's go find Matusan, the chimps, and chibis and go eat," the young princess suggested and powered down.
"Yeah, we'll have to get everyone together for the trip to Kaleregeta. C'mon, sugarbee," Kakarrot smiled and the two left the training room.
Vegeta had been awakened from his nap by a power surge. He had picked up the double spikes in energy and knew one to be his mate's but was unsure bout the second one until...
"Matusan, I did it! I finally ascended!" a squeal burst into the nursery.
The noise startled the slumbering petite chibis and they began to whimper like any newborns jerked up suddenly from their naps. Vegeta sat up, picked up the twins and began to soothe them. Teresahan and Kakarrot watched, then K-san took hold of his son and sat beside his mate.
"Hey, love. I thought you were gonna train with Endive and Cilvanti?" K-san asked, rocking the little prince who had grabbed a fist full of his Outusan's hair and began to suckle it.
"Cilvi pissed me off, so I sent the pair of them to spar alone. I think some little body is hungry, hey," Vegeta smiled then turned his attention to Teresahan. "Come, girl. I felt the spike in your chi but I wasn't' sure. Now, I am. Congratulations, love. Come, family, let us find the others, grab lunch and prepare for departure," the prince suggested after he had hugged and kissed his daughter, then he jumped off the day bed, handed Roma to her elder sister so he could assist the dowager queen.
"Matu, do I have to go with their majesties and the others when they leave for Kale?" the young princess asked as the small group made their way down a long hallway that was sandwiched between training rooms, medical rooms, the nursery and playrooms.
Vegeta shook his head, "Of course not, princess. I had planned on taking all my children with me this venture back to Earth then we'd all leave from there for Kale. You told me that you three wanted to come to Earth and bring K-san and I back to you," the prince smiled and ran his tail around his daughter's waist in a caressive manner but was not meant as a come on.
In Saiyan families, for the parent to caress their offspring with their tail was a sort of hug and a show of affection. The princess squealed with joy and returned her Matusan's tail hug.
"Oh, Matu, I can't wait to see that place! If you live there, I know it's beautiful!" Teray smiled and leaned to kiss her birth parent.
"Well, someone is sure excited. What gives, niece?" Raditz asked as he and Tormataeo stepped from a near training room. Kale and Collyard also exited a chamber and stood with the group.
"I just made level to Super Saiyan, Uncle Raditz, Uncle Kale! Plus, Matu said that he'd take me to Earth with him and Outusan this time, and the boys!" Teresahan was all beside herself.
"That's great to hear, Teray, honey! You'll like Earth, well for what it is. I didn't see much outside of the island where Vegeta lives," Kale replied.
Tormataeo, who had been standing close to Raditz, moved his hand to take hold of his mate's tail and play with it. "Raditz, love, come to Earth with me. Since my children are mutant demi-Saiya-jin and will be remaining with Prince Trageta, I'd like to spend as much time as possible with them before our relocation. Also, there's this little carnival/festival thing I always take the offspring to and I'd hate to up and break tradition. Plus, when my ex gets a look at you, he'll think twice before harassing me," Tormataeo purred and his mate dissolved into a puddle of goo. The others shook their heads at such a wanton display of cunning.
Vegeta grimaced. "What a revolting display of nonsense. I'm outta here," the prince started to move but was held back. He turned and found that two steel bands enshrouded in dark blue Saiyan spandex were squeezing him. "Kk, please, love. Not now," Vegeta squirmed against the steel bands he found holding him fast.
Kakarrot bent down and ran his tongue along the rim of his mate's ear. That action made the prince shudder. "What d'ya say, love, shall we take the chibis and chimps? Of course, you have to promise to behave yourself and not kill anyone or anything," the large Saiyan cooed in a whisper.
Vegeta snapped out of the haze his mate was eliciting. His eyes narrowed in hurt annoyance. The prince fought against blowing the fool's head off in a crowded corridor that would endanger the chimps. Vegeta tensed himself and said, "Oh, you just had to go there, didn't you? Fine, you sleep in your own room when we get back to Little Vegeta," the prince choked, his hands clenching and unclenching in agitated fists.
He loved K-san, but some of the things that steel trap mind chose to retain was quite beyond the scope of logic. Vegeta felt the hurt anger well inside him, so he ducked into a vacant trainer, locked the door, cranked the gravity to 1000x and roared. He knew that the heavier the gravity, the more intense his release, however, the sound carried to the corridor and made all gathered run for cover.
"Kakarrot, what did you say to him? He is beyond angry!" Raditz asked his little brother.
"That carnival your mate mentioned, I figured he and I could take our young'uns but he had to promise not try to kill anyone or anything there. When Trageta was a boy of about five, he took him, entered a fighting match, killed his opponent and half the crowd at the event and ended up behind bars. I guess that's still a sore subject with him. It was around that area where he had his change of heart. I'd better talk to him and apologize. Could you watch the chibis, my brother?"
After Raditz had agreed to watch the little ones, Goku winked out and straight to his mate. With a punch to the jaw, Kakarrot sent the smaller prince flying into a wall. Vegeta hit with a sickening crack then fell to the floor. Kakarrot waited for his opponent to rise but he didn't, so the larger Saiyan moved to where his prince had fallen and his eyes met with a gruesome sight. The prince lay bathing in a pool of his own blood. Immediately, Kakarrot moved to power down the trainer and his eyes widened when he noted 1000x on the gravitron. When had the prince begun training in 1000x gravs? Not wasting the time to think, Kakarrot punched in the code to disable the machine, then he went to aid his mate. Possessing the power of levitation, Kakarrot did just that. He lifted the injured prince with his mind so that he could administer a senzu bean. After injecting the bean, Kakarrot lowered the prince to another part of the trainer and waited for his wounds to heal.
Vegeta slowly regained consciousness, looked around and found that he could not move. 'What the hell happened? Why can't I move?' he asked and began to tremble.
'Easy, my prince. You're okay, you just have a spinal injury and you're in a horizontal tank, strapped down to avoid sudden movements. I hit you when you were venting your upset over my callous reminder of the CCWC. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break your back, but the medics say that you should be able to walk within then next few hours. I will sleep in my room when we return to Little Vegeta,' K-san replied through the shared mental link.
'K-san? Why did you hurt me? I was angry with myself so you didn't have to help the situation. I had no intention of even entering that stupid, fighting thing against the Pokemon. I'm much too strong to go against those creatures. I'd much rather fight enemies who threaten our existence, not beings, who have no defense against me. Let me rest so I can be up to bid the others farewell. Oh, send Cilvanti to me,' Vegeta requested before communication was amended.
'You wanted to see me, 'Tousan?' a tiny voice asked through another link not five minutes later.
'Why are you so jealous over Roma and Chardonblis?' the prince asked the blue haired Earth aged five-year old.
'They took you away from me! Those three are full Saiya-jin and Trageta and I are mutant Saiya-jin. We're not acceptable; even you have said so. When the king declared Vegetzu as your heir, I was hurt, especially when you knocked around Uncle Kakarrot for mentioning Trageta as your named heir. Why can't he be your heir?' Cilvanti began to cry through the link.
'Stop that sniveling, brat! Did you not hear me this morning? I have named Trageta Prince of the Mutant Demi-Saiya-jin. He is also that woman's heir and I cannot take him with me. I would love to take you, but I do not know how many others have survived. A Saiyan with half-breed offspring is an embarrassment to the race let alone the family. I am of the royal family and therefor my heir must be pure blood. Things would be different had I never discovered the existence of the other Saiya-jin on Earth. The Saiya-jin here have no qualms about accepting differences as this planet is a stopover for weary travelers, that is why you two were never questioned, even with Rageta and Vegetzu. At the time, I could not claim them as my heirs because they had been male born. There was a dictate on the home planet that the heir to Vegetasei must be female born, that was why I had so named your brother. I treated you as I did because you were born of the woman and when she dist me, I had to bring you two with me. She couldn't have raised either of you, although she did do a fair job with your brother, of course K-san was there to aid. Cilvi, please, don't hate the twins. You don't hate the elder ones, why hate the younger ones?' the prince questioned at the end of his mental speech.
'They took your love away from me. I feel abandoned, alone and disliked, especially by you. I know how you feel about the weak humans but... Daddy I love you. I wish I was a black haired Saiyan so that you could love me, too,' and with that, Cilvanti left the medical room, missing the tear that escaped her male parent's eye.
Cilvi's words stayed in Vegeta's mind, so that when he awoke several hours later, they came back to him with startling force. His body thrashed in the tank and the automated voice sounded that alerted any person outside the chamber that patient was ready for release. Several Saiya-jin ran to the tank, however, the prince's mate edged the others out, punched in the drain code to begin the release sequence. Once the tank was empty, the cover lifted, the prince moved to stand but teetered off balance. Strong arms caught him and steadied his frame.
"Let me go! It's because of you, I was sent there in the first! Now, excuse me, I have something that needs my immediate attention before my departure back to Earth!" Vegeta shoved against Kakarrot, stumbled but put his hand out to stay any assistance, then made his way out of the room. Once in his chamber, the prince changed his attire to a gray- black set of spandex, he located a senzu bean, ingested it then left the palace intent upon the business he had promised.
Vegeta had made his way to the cave in which his hideaway was located. In the same area were seven cubbyholes where he knew the planet's dragon balls were stashed. The balls were larger than Earth's Dragon Balls but smaller than Namek's; thus he was able to gather three at a time. Once he had all the balls, he then placed them in the circle formation and they began to glow. At the palace, those, who were sensitive to energy felt the power surge, then the locals, natives and visitors all ran out of various dwellings in time to witness the sky grow midnight black.
"What's happening? The sky's so dark! King Aegar?" the scared people looked to their king for answers.
"Someone has summoned Perseus, our dragon! Wait! Vegeta! Everyone, to the cliffs!" the golden king ordered and all present took to the air. Someone who could fly carried the beings that couldn't fly. Within minutes, it seemed the entire population of Planet Minerva had descended on the clearing above the cliffs. "Vegeta, what are you doing?" Aegar asked his black haired cousin.
"What does it look like? I destroyed a planet, and I'm gonna restore it!" the prince shouted over the explosion that rocked the planet as the dragon burst free from his resting-place.
"WHO HAST SUMMONED ME, PERSEUS, FROM MY SLUMBER AND WHY, MOTRAL ONE?" the deep-voice of a dragon larger than Shen-Ron and smaller than Parunga bellowed in the native tongue of the planet.
"I, Vegeta no Ouji, Prince of the Saiyan race has summoned you!" Vegeta shouted in the Minervian language.
Those gathered stood awestruck with wonder. Even though many had seen the dragons of both Earth and Namek, this sight was no less impressive. Even the locals were surprised at this appearance.
"I SHALL GRANT THEE TWO WISHES AND NO MORE! CHOOSE WISELY. NOW, NAME THY WISHES!" the dragon bellowed as his blood red eyes stared at the crowd.
"For my first wish, restore Planet Magnetara without Frieza's ship attached," the prince shouted his wish.
Persus's eyes glowed red like the other two serpentine beasts, which signaled the wish had been granted. "THAT WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. NAME THY SECOND WISH!" he demanded.
"If I express it mentally, can you fulfill it just the same as if I spoke it?' Vegeta shouted.
"I AM SO ABLE. NAME YOUR WISH!" the dragon bellowed. Vegeta closed his eyes and spoke to the dragon. "ART THOU SURE THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT? YOU REALIZE IT WILL BARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES!"
"I am aware but it is the wish, nonetheless," Vegeta replied. 'I want her to know that I do love her enough to do this for her. She may not realize what the circumstances will be but that is something we will face together as a family,' the prince thought to himself, then he looked down at his blue-haired daughter.
"SO BE IT! THAT WISH IS GRANTED! FARETHEEWELL, MORTAL ONES!" the dragon bade, faded back into the balls, which then levitated to return to their resting-place.
Vegeta turned again to look at Cilvanti and sure enough, her blue hair had been replaced by midnight black and her tail turned to sable brown. A scream from the crowd brought the prince to the ground.
"M-m-my baby! What have you done to my baby? Vegeta, I'll kill you!" a banshee pitched voice snarled.
"You touch my prince and I'll skewer you, Earthling!" Cilvanti charged in front of her male parent. "I blasted you once and just injured you. I won't hesitate to end your miserable existence and put you out of my prince's misery!" the eldest younger princess snarled.
The humans were speechless, as were Kakarrot, Trageta and Goten. Pan was bordering on shocked and horrified but happiness won the battle.
"Cilvi, you have black hair and eyes like me! You're a full Saiyan! You're beautiful!" Pan squealed but Cilvanti turned hard eyes onto her childhood friend.
"You're the quarter breed, aren't you? I have no time for you. I am a Saiyan Oujo and I have a little brother and sister who need a guide. Go back to Earth with the other half breeds and mutant Saiya-jin," the young princess spat as she looked down her nose at her 'friend.'
"Cilvi! How can you be so cruel? Even your Outusan accepts me. Vegeta!" the young mutant Saiyan cried as she fell to her knees, her little four-year old body wracked with painful sobs.
"Cilvanti! Apologize to Pan at once!" the Ouji commanded and Cilvanti huffed. "She has proven herself acceptable to our race," the prince nodded to his daughter.
"Sorry, Pan. You want to continue being my friend... Oh, wait, I'll be going to Kale with my 'Tousan... but we can still spar. I wanna pound you into the ground!" Cilvanti snarled, perfect imitation of her Outusan.
Just then all eyes narrowed onto Vegeta, who himself was torn between happiness and despair, however, the prince refused to give in to either emotion and stood rigid.
"Don't look at me that way! This is not my fault! It was her wish, not my own!" Vegeta replied in defense of himself. Wait, he shouldn't have to justify his motives to these losers, was he crazy?
"Oh, and you expect us to believe that? You're just as selfish as ever and you did this because-" Yamcha never got to complete his dress down of the prince as a small fist found its way into his chest.
"Only the king shall dress down the Ouji! You low lives don't even deserve to breath his air! If we're done here, I'd like to spar with somebody before we all depart!" Cilvanti snapped after she had KOed the large super human.
"Princess, who're your parents?" the queen asked as she took note that her grand daughter now resembled Teresahan, a mix of Kakarrot and the prince.
"My Outusan is Vegeta no Ouji and my Matusan is Kakarrot," the young princess replied.
Bulma shrieked. "NO! I had you! I lay in the hospital for many hours in labor waiting to deliver you! How could you do this?" Bulma cried, as she fell onto Yamcha, who was still unconscious, and buried her head into his yellow dress suit
"You were just my hosing material, witch! It was horrible that I turned out to look as you do and until now, my appearance didn't phase me until I met the people of my Outusan! When we found the others who are living on Earth, I could see how happy my daddy was, and through our link, I could hear his despair that I was not born a true Saiyan but the chance never presented itself to change that incidental. He had to use the Earth dragon balls to aid the Templerians. Then that piece of blue puke shit, Zarbon kidnapped 'Tousan drugged him, which caused all of us linked to the prince in some way to fall unconscious or feel some effects. Then came the destruction of Magnetara and daddy remarking that it could be restored with a wish. Earlier, while daddy recovered, I said that I wished I was a true Saiyan so that he would love me again," the little Oujo sighed as she explained.
"I had no trouble with you until the chimps were brought into the Universe by Kakarrot and myself. Cilvi-chan, honey, you were having such a difficult time accepting male bearing being the way of most Saiya-jin, that when you said what you did, I figured, what could it hurt? If it was the only way for you to accept the heritage of your Outusan, it was worth a shot. I wanted you to love me once again as well, so I made the wish. I can't love one of my children above another because I love you all equally but you would have none of that after the chibis arrived," the prince fought to keep his emotions in check.
Cilvi looked to her male parent and moved to hug him. "I love you, 'Tousan, and I love the twins and I thank you for making my wish. I always wanted you and Kakarrot as my parents. You're right, I was jealous of the chibis and Endive because they were full Saiya-jin and I was a half-breed. I was happy when my hair had been died black but my tail was blue and that was a tell-tale sign of my mixed heritage. While I stayed with the others, even though the other kids pretended to be my friends, I knew that they weren't. I just wanted to be the child my Ouji would be proud of," Cilvi lost the battle with her own emotions and burst into tears.
Vegeta held his daughter close to his chest. "Friends?" he asked and shared her tears.
"Forever, 'Tousan, and I'll make you proud of me," Cilvi sniffed. "I want to stay a full Saiyan. I like this. Where's my brother and sister?" the little Oujo looked around for the chibis then saw them sleeping in their Uncles Raditz and Kale's arms. Letting go of the prince, the little Oujo moved to her uncles, held her arms open to take hold of the two. Once she had them, she nuzzled them, kissed them and held them close. "I love you and I'm glad my 'Tousans had you. I can't wait till you're old enough to spar with," she whispered, then handed them back to her uncles. "C'mon, Pan, Endive, kids, lets go train before we all depart," Cilvi suggested and the under (Earth-aged) ten crowd jumped into the air and flew off, the senior aged Saiyan females opting to go along with them and keep watch.
The prince turned his back to the crowd and walked off to the edge of the cliffs where he stood for a brief minute then leaned forward, and fell headlong into the churning sea below, however...
"Vegeta, no!" Kakarrot ran to the point over which his prince had fallen and searched the rocky bottom, the sea churned below to create massive waves and swirling whirlpools strong enough to suck in the strongest swimmer. Closing his eyes, the large warrior felt for his mate's chi but found no trace of it. "NO! You idiot, why? Are you that weak?" Kakarrot pounded the ground with his fists as he sobbed his insides out.
"Daddy, Matu's not dead, he's just upset. The dragon said there would be serious consequences to the wish. Besides, at the bottom of this cliff is a tunnel that leads to the manor but the entrance can't be seen as we're standing above it" Teresahan patted her Outusan on the back.
"W-what do you mean he's not dead, Teray? I can't feel his chi! He's closed the link!" K-san hiccuped on a tear in his throat and squeezed his eyes shut.
Just then Bulma found her tongue and said, "If I could kill that selfish little moocher, I would! How dare he wish my child away like that!" she huffed.
"That child intended to kill the chibis out of jealousy! If I hadn't of stopped her, she'd be dinner tonight!" Queen Vegetanna hissed in response.
"You are the most disgusting race of beings I've ever encountered! Male breeding, cannibalism, same gender relations! Sickening! If I had known other Saiya-jin had exited on Earth, I-" Chichi was unable to finish her dress down as she was sent flying across the common.
Kakarrot stood heaving in anger. "Take that piece of trash out of my sight before I do what I should have done years ago!" it was Kakarrot who had blasted Chichi into a boulder.
Kakarrot's Earth friends stood in complete shock. He had never stood up to that witch until he had moved in with Vegeta and began emulating the prince more often than not. It dawned on all the other warriors, except 18, that the being the others had known and raised and loved as 'Son Goku' was no more. Kakarrot was now in full control, never to return to the goofy, mindless wonder that had been 'Goku.'
"When will you weaklings learn that it is no disgrace for a male in our race and in high society to breed? On Vegetasei, there were not enough females and those available became the mates of high-ranking warriors and the royals as well! However, one of my grand Tousans had been injured in a battle and he was dying. His best friend, a low-level officer stayed with him while others continued to battle. Well, the other warriors returned to the home planet but the prince and the warrior remained behind, as the prince was not strong enough to travel. During his recovery, it is said that he went into heat but had no one to release to. The warrior offered himself but the prince took the advance and told the warrior that he could take him as reward for his dedication and loyalty to the crown. When the two returned to Vegeta, the prince found out his Outusan was dead, he was king and he was carrying. He had to wear huge robes to cover his girth but being single, he would not be able to explain the sudden appearance of chibis. He knew his warrior had been planning to marry, so he arranged with him to adopt all chibis that resulted from their couplings. Once Saiyan males have had one another, they do not desire another," the king had stepped forth with the narrative.
"The trip to Ispan-12 was not the first time Vegeta and I had been together. We started during the three years we all where training to fight the androids. It was not long after Trageta had been born. Vegeta was trying to train in the gravity chamber but you kept interrupting him, Bulma, so he left and found his way to where Gohan, Piccolo and I were training. He and I began to spar and one thing led to another. Neither of us thought anything about breeding and he knew he could not because of his years with Frieza and pushing that devil's spawn into the universe. We were together up until he left for space to continue his training. I knew why he was leaving. It was getting to where our passion was superceding our training and he was no closer to Super Saiyan than the day he started. On his return, I could feel his power although I was unconscious. Be that as it may, after I recovered and rejoined the fight then fought against Cell, I could feel his every fiber being torn to shreds. When I sacrificed myself I had to look at Gohan but my heart and mind were on Vegeta. It wasn't until I was in Other World, that I found that I had left a present behind with Vegeta. The happiest time for both of us came when you threw him out. And before you say anything, I knew all about Ceraina. Vegeta moved her into the palace not long after the boys had gotten together. I knew of the boys but Vegeta wouldn't acknowledge such a thing, even between us. Vegeta's my life now and I hate for anyone to hurt him in any way," Kakarrot explained with a hard edge to his voice, his tail lashing the air in agitation.
"K-san, does your soul feel as if it's being ripped in half?" the king asked, with a strong look at his son's mate.
"N-no. I-,"Kakarrot closed his eyes and envisioned his mate. He gasped. "I-I see him! He's at the manor under ground and is in some kind of metal painted room. He's playing some kind of instrument with a stick!" the large Saiyan allowed a small smile.
"A violin!" Trageta exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" a crowd shrieked in disbelief.
"A violin! Dad says its one of the few Earth things he enjoys! He loves playing the violin as much as he does the dherra. Femme chimp must have sent him for a loop with that wish," Trageta remarked as he had his tail wrapped around his mate's waist and the two held their own newborn chimps, who were born a month before Roma and Chardonblis. Their names being Yohimbe and Yukama, the very children Vegeta had seen when he and the others had been in Other World nearly sometime ago.
"That's part of it but he also feels that his mate is less than satisfied with what has transpired. He needs to feel that this changes nothing between the most important people in his life. Trageta?" it was the queen who questioned her grand son.
"I'm a mutant demi-Saiyan and I'm proud of it. I love my differences and the only ones who I have to please are my mate and our family. Besides, he did declare me as Prince of the Demi-Saiya-jin. Chimp's always been a handful and if by becoming a full Saiyan was her way to feel part of 'Tousan's life, I'm happy for her. I know her training will be rigid but I know she'll love it. She's always wanted to be like 'Tousan. It was her suggestion she and I dye our hair to be like the pure bloods but I was uncomfortable, as was my mate. No worry, when 'Tousan calms down, he'll return. I have learned over the years that it's best to let him grieve in private," Trageta shrugged and hugged both Goten and the chibi he held in his arms.
"Rageta, Vegetzu?"
"What should it matter to us? Matusan's always loved the three of us in his own way," Vegetzu nodded.
"I need to go talk to him. I'm the one who pissed him off along with Cilvi. I didn't have to try and kill him when he was venting his upset at my mention of the Water Carnival and what happened when he went so many years ago," Kakarrot sighed.
"The CCWC? When did that come about?" Trageta asked in surprise.
"I mentioned it to Raditz because I always take my chimps and chibis every year and since this maybe the last year, I wanted to spend as much time with them before I left the planet," Tormataeo hung his head.
"Same for me, young prince. I want Kale to experience the fun and thrill of the carnival with the kids and myself," Collyard remarked.
"I'd better go talk to him. He's gonna beat the snot out of me, anyway," Kakarrot sighed.
"As much as you deserve it, no. I'd like to take the kids to that accursed thing and I will behave myself. After all, it's not fitting for an Oujo to fly off the handle and kill at every turn," a voice sounded behind Kakarrot.
"Vegeta! I thought you were sulking?" Raditz noticed his younger brother first.
Kakarrot spun around and caught sight of his handsome mate and both excitement and despair welled up in his being. "M-mi amour? But I-I just saw you in the manor?" the large warrior gasped.
The prince smirked and moved closer to his family. "I know, I felt your presence and realized how idiotic I was acting. It was just a flamin' wish that I made for my soon to be Saiyan three-year old daughter. As long as she's happy and I was able to get back at that harpy that birthed my younger princess. I also did it to save our chibis, K-san, because she would have killed them had Mommatanna not have stopped her. I know you wouldn't have wanted that. I did it because I wanted both you and her to know that I love you beyond everything possible except the one who created us," the prince sighed and moved to hug his koi.
"Love, what did you mean by it wouldn't be fitting that an Oujo to fly off the handle and kill at every turn?" the large warrior asked as he looked down into his mate's dark eyes. The organ that pumped his life blood seeming to turn in on itself with a ripple.
"I meant, mi amour, that as the Saiya-jin no Oujo, it wouldn't do to strike down the helpless. You know how much I've changed over through the years. Besides, if I went to the CCWC as Velmora and not myself, I'd be more in control of my temper," Vegeta purred as he walked his fingers up his mate's broad chest. Encircling the thick neck of the taller Saiyan, Vegeta pulled his love in for a kiss that literally shook the ground.
"All right, you two, enough of that! We've got people to bid a safe trip then leave ourselves," Raditz pointed out as he wrapped his mate in his tree branch thick tail.
Vegeta slowly broke the embrace and nodded to his mate. 'Wait till we get back to Little Vegeta. That little stunt you pulled last night... I want an encore performance,' Vegeta winked to his koi then turned to the others present and instructed them to hold onto either himself, K-san or one of the boys. Within an eyeblink, the crowd winked out of sight only to reappear in the common room where both Saiya-jin and humans alike gathered in preparation for departure.
