CHAPTER XXXIX
UNCOVERING TRUTHS
The newly reunited brothers all sat in the delivery room of a healing center, as Minosaia lounged in a hospital bed. The latter had begun to experience sharp pains in his abdomen and felt the time of delivery drawing near. Bardock suggested going to the med unit where he and Vegeta both found their eldest grand daughter.
"Teresahan? What is she doing in a tank?" Vegeta asked as he looked at the pure blood Saiyan beauty that would definitely have male apes fighting for her, unless she chose to become a warrior like many strong females.
Bardock stood behind the king, embraced him, and nuzzled his fragrant neck as he did so while he ran his hands over the front of his slightly shorter monarch. "She was injured not long after we had materialized on the planet. Had Kakarrot not given her one of those bean things, we would have lost her. My near son is already on the brink because of what transpired with his mate, he would have gone totally postal had his firs born female parished in a senseless battle. He may have even blown up the planet, but I'm glad things worked the way they have," Bardock lapped at his mate's raised passion mark.
"Yes, they did. We found our brothers and..." Vegeta's sentence was silenced as Bardock leaned and took possession of his lush lips.
"And I thought that we were bad, Stygia- san, but our brothers seem to be worse. It is so good to finally be together again, the way that we all were on Vegetasei before we had to flee for our own protection. And can you believe our nephews? God, what beauties they have become, although, I was off planet when Kakarrot was born. I wonder how he ended up with the royal prize? I always thought it would be Raditz as the two were inseparable once the young prince had come of age to be aware of his surroundings. And that boy's power, my God, it should have ripped his mate in half delivering that fireball!" Minosaia exclaimed as his tail caressed his mate's arm.
"He was a strong one, like Uslagg. Vegeta no Ouji had the potential to make Super Saiyan with enough training. Mmmm, he'll be born soon, I'll be here for you to squeeze," Stygia noted as he ran a hand over his mate's abdomen, which had begun to tremble with the first signs of delivery.
"Look at them, Onya, like in the old days before Vegeta had to send our people off for safety. I wonder how Stygia knew of this place?" Sunrissa asked her companion and aunt.
"I helped purged this place with your mates. It was in the early days before Frieza came of age. King cold had sent us to purge and conquer fifty planets in a month's time. Many of those rocks had no moon, so we were disadvantaged. I had begun to record all the missions we had undertaken for that white horned demon, but he was more compassionate than his two sons were and he preferred to get his kicks from Torgian slaves instead of Saiya-jin," Stygia related.
"Then my son, your nephew, had found your records on this place, studied it and decided to make a visit," Vegeta Ou remarked as he fought for control against the sensations his mate was drawing from his royal frame. "Bardo- san, please, love, there'll be time for desert after dinner," the king said.
"Oh, go on ahead, goodness know how many times this beast and myself have done it in front of an audience," King Stygia smirked in a smug manner as he rubbed his mate's swollen abdomen.
"You were always a showman, though, chibi. I loved watching you dance as I played the dumeron and Minosan played the dherra. You know my son plays that instrument to perfection and his voice... Oh, heaven must have sent us one of it's own angels, his voice is of such a quality," the Ou smiled, onyx eyes glittering with pride.
"I missed most of the Ouji's growing as that white slithering salamander had taken him for a slave. It could not have been pretty for him in that sort of existence after being raised to be a proper Saiyan noble," Stygia Ou nodded.
"He would have to tell you of that part of his life, but I have no doubt he would want to look forward and bury that as a bad memory," Vegeta Ou remarked just then a scream cut the air.
All eyes turned to the figure on the hospital bed. "Stygia, the cub! NOW!" Minosaia screamed.
King Styagia pressed a button on the scouter he wore. "Medic, we are in stage four delivery!" Within a heartbeat's span of the transmission, a team of medics entered the room, drew a curtain as the king moved to stand beside his mate and take his hand. At that same instance, Prince Uslagg phased into the room with his cousins and new friends.
"Poppa, is it time? Can I watch?" the young prince asked as he climbed on the bed with Minosaia.
"Your high-
"Treymore, have you a desire to gum your food this night? He is the prince, he shall stay!" the Stygian Ou snarled, his silver streaked eyes glinting razors.
The medic shook his head then proceeded to prepare for the eminent delivery.
Kakarrot yawned, exposing perfect teeth and sharp canines, and stretched his long large frame then his eyes sighted the familiar plume of black flame that was his mate as the small framed prince nestled against his broad chest. Kakarrot mentally kicked himself again for that small trip of temporary insanity his mind had taken after the incident. He was thankful that things didn't go very pleasurable with the Earth warrior and he felt sorry for Gren. Now, looking down at the head of the man who had claimed his heart from the second their eyes met, the large Saiyan fighter felt both the deep hurt his moment of passion had caused the Ouji and the deep love he had always felt for the passionate fireball. Just then, Kakarrot found himself staring into eyes as dark as his own and as fathomless as space. He could not help the smile that exploded onto his face and Kakarrot lifted a hand and caressed his mate's smooth bronzed cheek with his index finger.
"You're beautiful, you know that, koi?" Kakarrot smiled and leaned to kiss the prince.
"Kk?" the prince said, his voice groggy. Slowly moving to a sitting position, Vegeta looked around. "Where are we? This isn't LV?"
"We're not on Earth, mi amour, but some planet called Stygia. Your uncle is the king and mine is his mate. Heh, heh, make's sense," the large Saiyan shrugged then twin roars shattered the silence of the room. "Hee, hee, I guess it's close to dinner time, hey, koi? Let's get showered then find our way to the dining hall."
"Why do all that work? Both our parents are here as are most of our kids, so we can teleport straight to them. Have you a change?" the prince asked as he moved to get out of the bed, which he noticed was as high as one he had slept in as a chimp. Vegeta looked around the room and was shocked. "Kk! This room! It's mine! It's mine from when I was a chimp on Vegetasei! I remember because the bed was always to high for me to get into until I learned how to fly. Oh, honey, this is our second home! Or it will be once we get rid of those Ice freaks of nature. Come," the prince smiled as his mate moved to his side of the bed. "Catch me, Kakarrot!"
Kakarrot's mouth fell open as he watched his love stand on the bed like a child then the smaller Saiyan leaped towards the larger one who caught him in mid air and the two fell laughing to the floor. The prince sounded like one of the many chibis they had with them in that his laughter was merry and lighthearted. The two then looked one another in the eye; the air of mirth and joy remained present.
"I love you!" the two said in unison then they halted as if they sensed something.
"Minosaia's having the chimp! Let's hurry and get washed, get changed then join our families," Kakarrot nodded, put one arm under his love's legs while the other supported his back and carried the prince into the wash. "Oh, to answer your question, dad had us gather a few things before we left, so I do have a change," the large Saiyan smiled as he began to strip but Vegeta slapped his hand away.
"I do that, my dearest," the prince said as he yanked the sash at K-san's waist to cause his gi to fall open.
Vegeta had taken possession of Kakarrot's lips as he slid his hands over the sleeveless gi top to slide them from broad shoulders. Once that was accomplished, the two removed the blue weight shirt.
"I thought you said I could be dominant," and with that reminder, Kakarrot pulled off the stiff Saiyan armor the prince had adorned for his trip, then slowly peeled the tight royal blue jumpsuit from the prince's small frame.
Kakarrot kissed and nipped at every inch of flesh as it became exposed, drawing blood in places to heighten the pleasure. In one final yank, Kakarrot exposed the prize he sought and the hardened shaft of male flesh leapt forth from its confines. Kakarrot lick his lips with delight and hunger, then he took his prince fully into his mouth.
"KAKARROT! AAAHHHGGGNNNN! God, don't make me explode just yet," Vegeta pleaded as his mate began to pleasure him in the first of many hoped for passion sessions.
Thirty minutes later, the two Super Saiyans emerged from the prince's room dressed in identical Saiyan orange red gi jumpsuits, white boots and gloves over top of which they had fastened tartan colors of their families. They were once again in a tight lip lock until Vegeta remembered they had to meet the others, thus he put a hand to his forehead, focused on Vegeta Ou's ki, then the two transmitted out of the room and into the medical center.
"Vegeta, Kakarrot, so good to see you both up and about. Come; the newest member of our clan is about to enter the universe. Those tartans look fantastic on you!" King Stygia remarked as he turned to watch his nephew and near nephew approach the crowd.
"Vegeta! Hi, cousin!" chibi Prince Uslagg ran to the elder prince, jumped and locked the prince in a tight embrace. "Happy to see you!" he crowed in a happy tone.
"As I am you, chibi and my own children as well. I'm impressed, chibi, you're near Super Saiyan level. We'll be here until we defeat the Ice-jin, so my chibis can bring you to level," Vegeta Ouji smiled and received a hard incredulous look from the king and a surprised look from Uslagg.
"Vegeta, don't tell him that. We all know that it's just a myth. Only one being in over three millennia has ever attained the coveted form," King Stygia admonished.
"Outusan!" Prince Uslagg flew from Vegeta's arms to his sire's arms. "Monstre!" the young prince screamed and cried.
The eyes of King Stygia, Minosaia and a host of others bulged to the size of saucers as they beheld a sea of teal jade colored eyes and an ocean of gold hair. The sight was gloriously unbelievable as both the Saiya-jin from Earth and the Saiya-jin from Kalegetasei had all transformed to SSJ level-1.
"B- But we were all told it was a myth! That there had been only one to make the ascension every three millennia or so and it was through the royal house that the gene had passed!" King Stygia stammered, disbelief causing his body to collapse to the ground in a weightless mass.
"Lots of training and lots of fighting are the key to unlocking the hidden power lying asleep in all of us! There are more bloody Super Saiyans now than there ever have been in Saiya-jin history! Every one of us has the potential to make level-1, many can make level-2, a handful, level- 3, and just two have gone to level-4 and beyond. Nine have tapped into a transformation beyond Oozaru," Vegeta Ouji related and his silver streaked uncle slumped with the new information.
"Daddy, I wanna be golden like Vegeta! He said I could be! Show me how to be golden!" Uslagg ran back to his cousin and tugged on his tartan colors.
The prince knelt and hugged his little cousin, as did Kakarrot. "You must enter that trainer everyday, non- stop! Get his majesty to spar and train you. If you like, K-san, the kids and myself could stay and train you before we move onto Kalegetasei, how's that sound?" the prince smiled a wide smile that seemed to brighten the entire room. "While we are here, fight the chimps. Cilvanti, Pan and Endive love a good spar. Of course, what Saiyan doesn't?"
"Yeah, I like that! I will train and I'll train so hard and make you proud of me!" Uslagg nearly jumped from his skin.
"Not me, chibi, your Outusan. It is he you must fight for and protect, as well as your little sibling and Matusan," Vegeta nodded.
"Great, but can we discuss this later? Remove this cub from my body or I'll go Super Saiyan and bite heads off!" a voice snarled and all eyes turned to find Minosaia in push stage and the medic nowhere to be found.
Powering back to normal, Vegeta threw off his tartan of blue black checked with light blue, teal and gold then took the position of the medic.
"Vegeta!" voices screamed.
"Look, we don't have time to play! This cub's coming and he's coming now! Stygia, sit at Minosaia's head and put your hands on his abdomen, then share some of your energy with him! Someone fetch me a wrap for the bundle when I draw him forth! Let's go people, make it happen an hour ago!" Prince Vegeta bellowed orders.
The crowd jumped into action with the queen and her aunt waiting to catch the birth membrane and prepare the cord to be shared amongst the clan in the same ceremony as on Minervasei not long ago. Vegeta Ouji felt his near uncle having a difficult time in pushing the cub through.
"I need to take the cub and I need him to be sedated! The child's too strong to be pushed through in the normal way! I need two people to hold a sheet over him and I. The rest of you stand back!" the prince ordered as Vegeta Ou and Bardock held a sheet over Vegeta's hands and Minosaia's abdomen. "I'm goin' in!" and with that, Vegeta formed a blade from his ki, Onya had injected her brother-in-law with a sedative, then began to slice into Bardock's twin.
"DEAD! They can't be dead! Ice Cube is one of the strongest on the planet near the other elites and myself! How did this happen?" Lord Frostige fretted.
"All I know is some strangers materialized in the desert, there was a ki blast followed by the infantry being ripped to shreds! I was behind a sand dune not too close but enough to see what was transpiring. Oh, sir, it was horrid! I've never seen anything so terrible in my life!" a survivor of the desert skirmish shakily related.
"This can't be! Ice Berg!" the Ice lord bellowed and a being another resembling Cooler in final form appeared.
Ice Berg bowed with a flourish, "You called, oh mighty one, lord of the Ice people?" he cooed in silky accents.
"Yes, my dear one, there is a 'guest' in the keep. A Saiyan, see if he is still within!" the Ice lord ordered and dismissed the soldier with a wave of his hand.
"Th- The keep, my lord? You put a guest in the keep? B- But that place is spirit ridden! I have heard the unexplained noise from inside that room, seen things float in the air and strange light from an unseen source. None of us dare venture within its confines!" the desert soldier stammered.
The Ice lord clenched his teeth; his ruby eyes began to glow dangerously, which caused the soldier to tremble. Before the soldier could scream, he was vaporized just as Ice Berg returned from his mission.
"Sir, if there was a being therein, it is not there, now," the warrior informed his lord.
"WHAT! How can that be? First the destruction of my desert troops and now this?! Gather the strongest warriors, time to visit a certain Saiyan village and make it a memory!" Lord Frostige roared, shaking his warrior to his the core of his being.
"Sir, that village is peaceful! There's no power greater than ten thousand kilis in the entire area! Besides, they provide our food and our pleasure!" Ice Berg attempted to counter but received a quelling gaze filled with fire from the Ice lord.
"You dare to countermand me? You'll end up in the other dimension just as Sleet has! I gave you and order!" Frostige bristled with anger and his tail thumped the ground with the force of an earthquake that caused a large crack to appear in the tiled flooring.
"Yes, my lord, as we speak!" and with that, Ice Berg flew from the Ice lord's presence.
Frostige found his female mate and grabbed her. "Come, female, I need release!" he demanded and threw her to into their shared chamber, ripped her garments from her being and took her in the way many of his kind took their pleasure.
Strong wails pierced the near silence of the delivery room as the newest member of the House of Stygia announced his entrance. Vegeta had removed the large powerful cub with little difficulty and was not surprised when he drew forth a golden nugget. He smirked and looked up at his mate who moved to inspect as did the queen and Onya.
Vegeta smiled at Kakarrot. "Kk, you were correct, mi amour, he is Super Saiyan, like Roma is Femzoro," Vegeta's tone was one of pure awe as he cleansed the baby's oral cavity of the gritty black substance that clung to his being.
"I don't advise cleansing this one in the traditional way that we had those two of yours, he's much too powerful and could really hurt either of his parents. The two of you need to be leveled up so that you can handle him when he's upset," King Vegeta remarked.
"Not necessarily, my Ou. Remember, I was in charge of chibis on Vegetasei, so, you know I know how to curtail their energies," Queen Sunrissa reminded their king.
"You mean a suppressor? Woman, you know they were outlawed on the planet," the darker king remarked.
"Vegeta, think, if it wasn't for the implants, many of our strongest warriors would be dead or worse. You would have had to send our son away and neither one of us would have wanted that. The implants saved Kakarrot, Ceraina and Parlissa and several other powerhouses who would have been sent away! I had to put one in Roma when I had her. She was so powerful!" the queen continued.
"M- May I see the child, nephew?" King Stygia asked. Vegeta Ou and Bardock removed the sheet so that Stygia Ou could have a look at the tiny miracle. "Oh, God, he's so beautiful," the king gasped. "My queen, those things, would they enable Minosaia and I to hold and feed our child safely until we reach his power level?"
"Yes, my brother, it will. What my son holds in his arms is a tiny nuclear generator that can power your planet for ever on his own," the queen nodded.
"Sire, if you will sever the cord about mid-way, I'll take him for cleaning. On the planet where Kakarrot was located, and I have spent the last ten Saiyan years of my life, I've picked up some very useful knowledge, especially in childcare," Vegeta Ouji smirked.
King Stygia bit the birth cord close to his mate's entrance and became aroused by the scent that wafted into his nasal passage. He whimpered as he moved to take his mate but found his head would not move.
"Down, mon frere, I'm sure Minosan would not desire to be mounted just yet. He's gonna be ragged for a few hours," a deep voice said from behind the silver streaked head.
"Tousan?" Vegeta Ouji cast a quick glance to the situation and found his sire, the king, had a hold on King Stygia's head.
"V- Vegeta, why have you a hold on me?" Stygia gasped as he stood to his face his elder sib.
"Out of care and respect for your mate, at least let him heal. Come, we'll share the cord at dinner and let Vegeta cleanse the chimp in another fashion. The babe has to be powered down before a non- Super Saiyan can handle him." King Vegeta took his younger brother away to allow Bardock and Raditz to place Minosaia into a healing tank, just as the lights on the tank that held his granddaughter changed to indicate that she was ready for release.
The medic had finally returned to the medical chamber so he stitched up the incision the prince had made then Bardock's twin was placed in the tank to heal from the rigors of childbirth that usually depleted the female gender of the Saiyan race in vast numbers. That was one of the reasons there had not been many females on Vegetasei and only the incredibly strong ever survived the births of their cubs. The females of the royal house were of such strength; however, many elite born females had to be rated third class so that they could not be touched by commoners. Nonetheless Prince Vegeta requested that his large mate fill a sink with warm water so that he could wash the newborn by hand.
"Ichison, allow Onya and myself to do that. After all, it is the females who undertake such a task. Go check on that beautiful daughter of yours then go prepare for the celebration," Queen Sunrissa smiled and took hold of the babe as the two mothers changed places with their sons.
"Danku, Mommarissa. I'll be down in a bit. K-san, my tartan if you will," Vegeta Ouji called to his mate and tossed his head in a follow-me manner, then the two ITed to Vegeta's chamber.
While the prince showered, Kakarrot returned to medical to check on his daughter who had just exited the tank. The big Saiyan wrapped a towel around the beauty, which he noticed seemed to have filled out over night and his nose caught a scent that caused him to shiver. The big Saiyan looked at his baby girl.
"Welcome back, sugerbee. How do ya feel?" he asked holding his eyes away from hers and trying not to inhale her scent.
"I'm ok, 'tousan. Where's Matusan?" she asked as she took hold of a set of training clothes 18 held for her- yes, Krillin, 18, 17 and Marron had all accompanied the Saiya-jin to Stygia.
"Teray, how about a spar after you dress, huh? We haven't done that in a long time" it was Marron' Krillin's daughter who had asked. That caused her parents to fall over in disbelief.
"Ah-ah, Marron, honey, are you all right? I mean, you haven't fought or trained since you were twelve years old," Krillin remarked.
"A lot you two know. Vegeta would take me to Minerva at times with Trunks, Goten, Kakarrot and himself just so Teray and I could spar and train together. You know there just aren't many girls my age on Earth to spar with and Trunks has Goten. Now that Kakarrot's other children have been recovered, they're gonna need a strong human trainer," Marron spoke. She then took hold of the princess once the young Saiyan beauty was fully clothed in a powder blue set of spandex with a violet colored kilt fastened about her waist and the two girls went to find a place to spar.
"Well, that's a shock. I thought that once Trunks had dumped her for Goten that she wouldn't want anything to do with the Saiyans ever again, but she is right, as a Super Human child, she doesn't have many friends. Maybe training Kakarrot's other offspring would do her well and she can finally find that one meant for her," 18 said with a mother's concern.
"I'd better go let Vegeta know that our daughter has begun to scent," Kakarrot nodded then phased back to the prince's chamber. Upon hearing the sound of falling water, the big Saiyan knew his love was still washing, thus he set out a new spandex for his mate. The new set was a honey mustard color, however, the prince was so gorgeous that he could wear a potato sac and look like a GQ model.
"So, koi, what do you think of this place?" a husky voice asked in a near whisper near Kakarrot's ear.
Kakarrot turned and met a pair of gleaming black onyx. His heart lurched at the sight before him and his dark tan gi tightened around his midsection as a portion of his body swelled with need. Swallowing against a throat that had gone dry, Kakarrot responded, "It's not Minerva but it's cozy. Was this what Castle Vegeta was like? You said this was the bedroom you had as a boy," he said as he embraced his mate, who was wrapped like a mummy in a plush bathe blanket.
"This is, yes. I'm guessing 'Tousan distributed the planet's treasures amongst all those he was sending out. I had only met Stygia once in my life but I paid no mind as to how much he resembled Vegeta Ou. I was the prince, I had not time for underlings and to me he was just a third class, the resemblance mere coincidence," Vegeta Ouji shrugged. He moved from the embrace to begin dressing in the jumpsuit that his mate had out set for him then stood for Kakarrot to reaffix his tartan colors, then he wrapped the big Saiyan in his tail and his arms. "Did I tell you how much I love you?" the prince sighed as he lay his head against his mate's chest to hear the beating of the larger man's heart that echoed his own.
"The entire time we were cleansing earlier but I can't hear it enough, especially falling from your mouth. How did I end up with the royal prize?" Kakarrot sighed as he held his mate tightly. "I wanna just take you in me and never let you go."
Vegeta snickered. "I like that idea. K-san, I-
Kakarrot took his mate's lips in his own and drew the prince's breath into his body.
"Hey, hon, we both made the mistake, so let's bury it. We just helped birth a new chimp, we've found more of our people and family at that!"
"You're right, love. Oh, I don't wanna leave but there's a birthing celebration to prepare for and like Aegar, I'm sure Stygia's gonna want the entire planet in attendance," Vegeta sighed, spun out of the embrace then the two phased into a room where their Outusans and King Stygia were located. Queen Sunrissa and Onya were feeding the chimp as the two kings and Bardock shared a spirit.
"Boys, come! My brother has proposed a village celebration and would like the planet's entire populace to attend. I told him how all of you from planet Earth knew Instant Movement and could have everyone here before celebration time," Vegeta Ou related his brother's desire to have all his people with him to celebrate as any joyous monarch would.
"Class is of no import this night. Low class shall mingle with super royal elite and be treated as guests. Lord knows those Ice-jin maggots mistreat them enough and make their lives deplorable! I don't see why any ruler of Saiya need heap any further discomfort to our own race. God knows we need to unite ourselves together under one ruler as it had been before the Ice-jin tyranny," Stygia sighed in a wistful manner.
"You remember the 'Golden Saiya-jin' from my female's line of the family? Her cousin, Aegar, is the king of that branch and has pledged his arm to me. Now we have found you and Minosan and whoever else resides on this planet," King Vegeta waved his hand at what was before him.
"There are over two thousand silver haired Saiyans that inhabit this place with us," Stygia nodded.
"Two thousand! Outusan, you told me there were just two branches of Saiya-jin, yet I see third!" the Saiyan prince glared at Vegeta Ou.
The Ou met his son glare for glare. "It was rumored that there were as many as a hundred different branches of Saiya-jin on Vegeta but no one knew for sure. In the elite sector, there was gold, silver, bronze, ebony and copper. In the lower classes, they mixed blood so much it was impossible to keep an accurate record. You would have been taught all of that had that horned maggot not whisked you from us. But that is passed. I sent as many as I could of every branch away. The entire golden branch had left once they had envisioned what Frieza was about. The other three left not soon after except for a few of those who had sworn to protect me with their lives," Vegeta Ou explained.
Suddenly a flustered and panting guard ran into the palace. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. The royals turned to regard the being and gasps were heard in the room.
"Turles? What are you doing here and what, pray tell could be so bloody awful as to send you into a panic?" Vegeta Ouji asked as he looked at the Kakarrot / Bardock twin.
"We're under attack, sires. Broli and I were on duty when blasts began raining down over us! He's out now fighting a horde of Ice-jin but even in Super Saiyan form, he can't do it alone," Turles gasped as he drew in a lung full of air.
Not wasting any time, Vegeta Ouji, Bardock, Vegeta Ou, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, Raditz, Tormataeo, Kale, Collyard, their elder offspring, and Kakarrot flew from the palace, they were followed by their human comrades, 18, 17, Krillin, Serena, Kurama and Hiei. The group all flew to assist the first Legendary Super Saiyan in the confrontation with the Ice-jin.
"Ouji, Kakarrot! Great of you to join me! I thought we had handled this scum on Minerva?" Broli asked, as he tail whipped an approaching enemy.
"These Icejin are like maggots! Hard to kill! Let's exterminate them and be quick about it!" the prince said and all Super Saiyans and super humans attacked in force.
"I can't be losing this badly, what will King Frigid say when we report to Planet Frieza next week and tell him we lost control of the Saiya-jin on Planet Stygia?" Lord Frostige fretted as he watched Saiya-jin slaughter his military with indescribable strength.
"This is a shame before Icina, the mother goddess of Frieza. How can mere monkeys be this strong! Prince Frieza was to have taken care of the lot of them when he destroyed that ape planet! Now, there's no stopping them," Lady Frizzle echoed her mate's concern.
"Sir, King Frigid is... Is...
"He's here!" a deep voice roared and all gathered jumped then bowed when their eyes focused on the source.
"Y- Your majesty! What a surprise! We weren't expecting you for some time," Lord Frostige stammered.
"Indeed. What is that?" the king pointed to a view screen upon which the battled details were shown.
"Just a battle, sire, nothing more. Some Saiyan came here and threatened to take over the planet and we thought we had him subdued and nothing to fear from him. Then others appeared and killed Ice Cube and the desert militia. We organized the rest of the armies and sent them to attack the village outside the castle. We know King Stygia is not strong enough to battle us," Frostige boasted.
"Never underestimate you opponent! Look at my army! They're being slaughtered out there! As the over lord, cousin, you should be there with them!" King Frigid hissed with his snake like tail thumping the ground in anger.
"Yes, my king, I- I was juts bout to go join them as a matter. Wouldn't want the universe to call us cowards," and with that, Lord Frostige left the palace to join his rapidly dwindling army.
"Frizzle, your mate is a coward. Join with me, female and I will give you power! We're gonna need every scrap of it to defeat these Saiya-jin. I have never seen their like before and they've taken out warriors whose energy level is off any Ice-jin chart! This does not bode well," King Frigid said in concerned tones as he continued to watch the massacre of his race. His eyes widened in shock as he beheld the unbelievable. "What the... What kind of warriors are they? They can't be simple Saiya-jin, their power is immense!" Frigid gasped as he witnessed something phenomenal.
On the battlefield, those of Legendary Super Elite status and who had mates and who wore the fusion earring, threw the opposite ring to his mate and the lightning of fusion crackled the air. Several new warriors stood to both protect the village and destroy the Ice-jin. In the palace, Sunrissa and Onya had finished cleaning the new chimp then went to look over the palace when a brilliant glow caught their eyes. The two had ventured down a dark secluded corridor of the palace when they saw the golden glow. Curious, the queen and her aunt ventured to investigate.
"What the...Imione? Cousin, is that you?" Onya asked when the two looked into the room.
The glowing figure turned at the sound and released the glow that was around her. She could not stop the emotions that swelled in her as she ran to the two females and fell into an embrace with Onya. "Oh, love, I never thought any one of my clan had survived! It's so good to see you! Look, this battle is amazing! Those golden warriors... I have no idea where they came from but look what they're doing to the Ice army!" Imione exclaimed and edged the two females to a high window from which they could see the entire battle.
"Onya, they've fused! Must be serious, we must assist!" the queen exclaimed.
"You know those warriors, my queen?" Imione asked as the females turned to leave.
"Five of them are our sons and grandchildren and their mates as well as our own! C'mon, you'll be a great asset!" the queen remarked as the three left the tower and headed to the training area where the chibis were.
"Momma, what's the hurry?" Cilvanti asked as she and several other chibis exited the gravity room along with Teresahan and Marron.
"Your dads, granddads, uncles and brothers are in a major battle. Looks like most of the Ice-jin army is in the village. That means their palace is unguarded. Power up and let's go!" Queen Sunrissa explained and the kids jumped in excitement.
The women and children zoomed passed the resting parents- Minosaia had exited the tank-out the palace and onto the battlefield. The little ones who had partners with whom to fuse, did so as did the queen and her aunt. The Ice army was overwhelmed and the sight was enough to draw the village inhabitants out of their homes to join the fray.
At the Icejin palace, the queen, Onya, Imione and several children had positioned themselves in strategic areas around the perimeter. Mentally communicating with one another, the group charged energy beams-many were in Super Saiyan mode-and aimed for the heart of the palace. The group was joined by three of the fused male warriors, who were Trunksten, Vegetto and Kaleyard (the fusion of Kale and Collyard). With their assistance, the energy beams contained enough power to destroy the planet if mishandled.
"Warriors, shoot to the sky and we'll form a ball, then we'll fly into separate directions as we hold the ball aloft. When we're at a safe distance, we'll let it fall!" Vegetto explained and the fighters did so.
"Sire, a huge ball of energy floats above us and there are several small golden beings along the wall. I think we should defend our-" before the soldier could continue warning his monarch, the palace exploded around them all.
Cheers erupted when the castle fell. From the air, the Super Saiyan army surveyed their handiwork then they flew down to the village inhabitants who bowed in reverence to them all.
"We don't know where you all came from, but thank you. They would have wiped us out, truly. You are amazing!" the village elder remarked as he made his way to the Super Saiyan army who had melted back to their normal Saiyan forms. "K- K- Vegeta Ou! Vegeta Oujisama! Queen Sunrissa, my ladies! Lord Bardock! How... When... What was that glow around you all?" the elder asked in awe.
"Adatta, long time, elder one. We have attained Legendary level. Many of us are Super Saiyans and beyond!" King Vegeta exclaimed and motioned for the villagers to rise.
King Stygia and Minosaia stood in a top most room where they could oversee the situation.
"Minosan, I can't believe this! The whole time, that Ice-jin lied and kept us his prisoners," the king sighed as he hugged his mate, who held the infant.
"It took our family to make us realize and now look, they are the legends and our first son is on the verge and the cub is level. I must thank her majesty for implanting the suppressor into the cub so that we can handle him," Minosaia remarked as he leaned back into his mate's chest. "Where did Imione come from?" Minosaia asked.
"She must have watched the battled from her room and found a way to join up with the others. You know she was Super. Come, let us welcome our troops and have the celebration with our people," King Stygia clapped his mate on the shoulder.
King Vegeta and sons had organized the villagers into an impromptu gathering. There was no elaborate arena such as it was on Minerva but the palace courtyard was large enough and afforded a wonderful view of the palace, King Stygia, Minosaia and the cub.
King Stygia stood with his mate and his cub on the drawbridge entrance of the palace. "My people, family and guests, I am both humbled and amazed at what I have both witnessed and have been told of. The Ice-jin were not the easiest enemy to defeat but we did it! My heart was with you even though I could not be in body. This celebration is as much for you my children as it is to welcome a new warrior into the universe. My children, it is with great pleasure that I introduce Prince Vishnair, born this afternoon at Super Saiyan level-1. All hail the new prince!" the king exclaimed and the villagers erupted into shouts and cheers.
King Vegeta stood to address the crowd. "My children, it gives me a greater pleasure to crown Prince Uslagg as heir to the throne of Stygia. This night he has made Ascended Super Saiyan and has earned his place among the legends!" the Ou picked up his nephew and showed him to the crowd. More shouts and cheers.
Following the dedication, the villagers returned to their home only to reemerge with acres of food for the celebration to add to what King Stygia's servants had hunted for earlier, thus the Saiya-jin then indulged in good food, entertainment, sparring and catching up, especially King Stygia and Queen Imione.
"My king, why was her majesty locked away?" Onya asked as the royal family sat to dine and watched the chibis spar.
King Stygia hung his head. "She couldn't breed. We tried for years and years with no success. Instead of killing her as was dictated by the old laws, since I was king, I would just put her away and let her interact with the villagers and aid them. She had gone Super and I thought of her as a shame, a smirch on the royal house. Now I realize I was in error and I ask my queen's forgiveness," King Stygia took hold of Queen Imione's hand as he knelt in front of her.
"I do, your majesty but I am going to leave you to be with my cousin and her niece as they can show me the ways of the Super Saiyan female," Queen Imione stated as her king rose.
"It is correct that should happen. Be happy, my lady," the king bade as he stood with Minosaia.
"We shall ensure that she will be. We have several young females who will need heavy training as Queen Vegetanna is heavy with Kakarrot's chimp. We shall leave on the morrow to return to our respected planets," Queen Sunrissa nodded.
"I shall look forward to seeing the family again. My king, that is a beautiful chimp. Do not hide his power and attain the unattainable for yourself. The power is amazing!" Queen Imione smiled as she watched Cilvanti, Endive, Uslagg and Pan all spar at Super Saiyan level. "I can't believe they have all attained the power and the new prince was born at level!"
"It is amazing to find out that Bardock's family line and Vegeta's both harbored the gene for the transformation, and you come in on Bardock's line as does Onya. It is easier for Bardock's clan to attain Super Saiyan level than it is for Vegeta's line. However, with lots of hard work and training, any one of us can attain Super Saiyan level-1," Queen Sunrissa explained.
"I have never known what branch of the Saiya-jin I was from, only that I had silver hair unlike many who had black hair and eyes. My hair is silver and my eyes are indigo, but Bardock is indigo haired, more black than blue, black eyes and very regal in stature. His sons are black haired and there is no silver. Where did this branch come from?" Imione asked with an elegant shrug.
"A recessive gene like the 'Golden Saiya-jin' on Sunrissa's side. Even though the tree might have one major root, there are many different branches, especially a family tree. Just know that we are all united and soon the Saiya-jin will once again be the driving force in the universe. For now, my daughter, enjoy and find a partner to battle with," King Vegeta smiled at his mate's cousin in law who got up and tagged her cousin, Onya.
Thus the Saiyans indulged in their first love, battle, battle and more battle.
CHAPTER XXXIX
UNCOVERING TRUTHS
The newly reunited brothers all sat in the delivery room of a healing center, as Minosaia lounged in a hospital bed. The latter had begun to experience sharp pains in his abdomen and felt the time of delivery drawing near. Bardock suggested going to the med unit where he and Vegeta both found their eldest grand daughter.
"Teresahan? What is she doing in a tank?" Vegeta asked as he looked at the pure blood Saiyan beauty that would definitely have male apes fighting for her, unless she chose to become a warrior like many strong females.
Bardock stood behind the king, embraced him, and nuzzled his fragrant neck as he did so while he ran his hands over the front of his slightly shorter monarch. "She was injured not long after we had materialized on the planet. Had Kakarrot not given her one of those bean things, we would have lost her. My near son is already on the brink because of what transpired with his mate, he would have gone totally postal had his firs born female parished in a senseless battle. He may have even blown up the planet, but I'm glad things worked the way they have," Bardock lapped at his mate's raised passion mark.
"Yes, they did. We found our brothers and..." Vegeta's sentence was silenced as Bardock leaned and took possession of his lush lips.
"And I thought that we were bad, Stygia- san, but our brothers seem to be worse. It is so good to finally be together again, the way that we all were on Vegetasei before we had to flee for our own protection. And can you believe our nephews? God, what beauties they have become, although, I was off planet when Kakarrot was born. I wonder how he ended up with the royal prize? I always thought it would be Raditz as the two were inseparable once the young prince had come of age to be aware of his surroundings. And that boy's power, my God, it should have ripped his mate in half delivering that fireball!" Minosaia exclaimed as his tail caressed his mate's arm.
"He was a strong one, like Uslagg. Vegeta no Ouji had the potential to make Super Saiyan with enough training. Mmmm, he'll be born soon, I'll be here for you to squeeze," Stygia noted as he ran a hand over his mate's abdomen, which had begun to tremble with the first signs of delivery.
"Look at them, Onya, like in the old days before Vegeta had to send our people off for safety. I wonder how Stygia knew of this place?" Sunrissa asked her companion and aunt.
"I helped purged this place with your mates. It was in the early days before Frieza came of age. King cold had sent us to purge and conquer fifty planets in a month's time. Many of those rocks had no moon, so we were disadvantaged. I had begun to record all the missions we had undertaken for that white horned demon, but he was more compassionate than his two sons were and he preferred to get his kicks from Torgian slaves instead of Saiya-jin," Stygia related.
"Then my son, your nephew, had found your records on this place, studied it and decided to make a visit," Vegeta Ou remarked as he fought for control against the sensations his mate was drawing from his royal frame. "Bardo- san, please, love, there'll be time for desert after dinner," the king said.
"Oh, go on ahead, goodness know how many times this beast and myself have done it in front of an audience," King Stygia smirked in a smug manner as he rubbed his mate's swollen abdomen.
"You were always a showman, though, chibi. I loved watching you dance as I played the dumeron and Minosan played the dherra. You know my son plays that instrument to perfection and his voice... Oh, heaven must have sent us one of it's own angels, his voice is of such a quality," the Ou smiled, onyx eyes glittering with pride.
"I missed most of the Ouji's growing as that white slithering salamander had taken him for a slave. It could not have been pretty for him in that sort of existence after being raised to be a proper Saiyan noble," Stygia Ou nodded.
"He would have to tell you of that part of his life, but I have no doubt he would want to look forward and bury that as a bad memory," Vegeta Ou remarked just then a scream cut the air.
All eyes turned to the figure on the hospital bed. "Stygia, the cub! NOW!" Minosaia screamed.
King Styagia pressed a button on the scouter he wore. "Medic, we are in stage four delivery!" Within a heartbeat's span of the transmission, a team of medics entered the room, drew a curtain as the king moved to stand beside his mate and take his hand. At that same instance, Prince Uslagg phased into the room with his cousins and new friends.
"Poppa, is it time? Can I watch?" the young prince asked as he climbed on the bed with Minosaia.
"Your high-
"Treymore, have you a desire to gum your food this night? He is the prince, he shall stay!" the Stygian Ou snarled, his silver streaked eyes glinting razors.
The medic shook his head then proceeded to prepare for the eminent delivery.
Kakarrot yawned, exposing perfect teeth and sharp canines, and stretched his long large frame then his eyes sighted the familiar plume of black flame that was his mate as the small framed prince nestled against his broad chest. Kakarrot mentally kicked himself again for that small trip of temporary insanity his mind had taken after the incident. He was thankful that things didn't go very pleasurable with the Earth warrior and he felt sorry for Gren. Now, looking down at the head of the man who had claimed his heart from the second their eyes met, the large Saiyan fighter felt both the deep hurt his moment of passion had caused the Ouji and the deep love he had always felt for the passionate fireball. Just then, Kakarrot found himself staring into eyes as dark as his own and as fathomless as space. He could not help the smile that exploded onto his face and Kakarrot lifted a hand and caressed his mate's smooth bronzed cheek with his index finger.
"You're beautiful, you know that, koi?" Kakarrot smiled and leaned to kiss the prince.
"Kk?" the prince said, his voice groggy. Slowly moving to a sitting position, Vegeta looked around. "Where are we? This isn't LV?"
"We're not on Earth, mi amour, but some planet called Stygia. Your uncle is the king and mine is his mate. Heh, heh, make's sense," the large Saiyan shrugged then twin roars shattered the silence of the room. "Hee, hee, I guess it's close to dinner time, hey, koi? Let's get showered then find our way to the dining hall."
"Why do all that work? Both our parents are here as are most of our kids, so we can teleport straight to them. Have you a change?" the prince asked as he moved to get out of the bed, which he noticed was as high as one he had slept in as a chimp. Vegeta looked around the room and was shocked. "Kk! This room! It's mine! It's mine from when I was a chimp on Vegetasei! I remember because the bed was always to high for me to get into until I learned how to fly. Oh, honey, this is our second home! Or it will be once we get rid of those Ice freaks of nature. Come," the prince smiled as his mate moved to his side of the bed. "Catch me, Kakarrot!"
Kakarrot's mouth fell open as he watched his love stand on the bed like a child then the smaller Saiyan leaped towards the larger one who caught him in mid air and the two fell laughing to the floor. The prince sounded like one of the many chibis they had with them in that his laughter was merry and lighthearted. The two then looked one another in the eye; the air of mirth and joy remained present.
"I love you!" the two said in unison then they halted as if they sensed something.
"Minosaia's having the chimp! Let's hurry and get washed, get changed then join our families," Kakarrot nodded, put one arm under his love's legs while the other supported his back and carried the prince into the wash. "Oh, to answer your question, dad had us gather a few things before we left, so I do have a change," the large Saiyan smiled as he began to strip but Vegeta slapped his hand away.
"I do that, my dearest," the prince said as he yanked the sash at K-san's waist to cause his gi to fall open.
Vegeta had taken possession of Kakarrot's lips as he slid his hands over the sleeveless gi top to slide them from broad shoulders. Once that was accomplished, the two removed the blue weight shirt.
"I thought you said I could be dominant," and with that reminder, Kakarrot pulled off the stiff Saiyan armor the prince had adorned for his trip, then slowly peeled the tight royal blue jumpsuit from the prince's small frame.
Kakarrot kissed and nipped at every inch of flesh as it became exposed, drawing blood in places to heighten the pleasure. In one final yank, Kakarrot exposed the prize he sought and the hardened shaft of male flesh leapt forth from its confines. Kakarrot lick his lips with delight and hunger, then he took his prince fully into his mouth.
"KAKARROT! AAAHHHGGGNNNN! God, don't make me explode just yet," Vegeta pleaded as his mate began to pleasure him in the first of many hoped for passion sessions.
Thirty minutes later, the two Super Saiyans emerged from the prince's room dressed in identical Saiyan orange red gi jumpsuits, white boots and gloves over top of which they had fastened tartan colors of their families. They were once again in a tight lip lock until Vegeta remembered they had to meet the others, thus he put a hand to his forehead, focused on Vegeta Ou's ki, then the two transmitted out of the room and into the medical center.
"Vegeta, Kakarrot, so good to see you both up and about. Come; the newest member of our clan is about to enter the universe. Those tartans look fantastic on you!" King Stygia remarked as he turned to watch his nephew and near nephew approach the crowd.
"Vegeta! Hi, cousin!" chibi Prince Uslagg ran to the elder prince, jumped and locked the prince in a tight embrace. "Happy to see you!" he crowed in a happy tone.
"As I am you, chibi and my own children as well. I'm impressed, chibi, you're near Super Saiyan level. We'll be here until we defeat the Ice-jin, so my chibis can bring you to level," Vegeta Ouji smiled and received a hard incredulous look from the king and a surprised look from Uslagg.
"Vegeta, don't tell him that. We all know that it's just a myth. Only one being in over three millennia has ever attained the coveted form," King Stygia admonished.
"Outusan!" Prince Uslagg flew from Vegeta's arms to his sire's arms. "Monstre!" the young prince screamed and cried.
The eyes of King Stygia, Minosaia and a host of others bulged to the size of saucers as they beheld a sea of teal jade colored eyes and an ocean of gold hair. The sight was gloriously unbelievable as both the Saiya-jin from Earth and the Saiya-jin from Kalegetasei had all transformed to SSJ level-1.
"B- But we were all told it was a myth! That there had been only one to make the ascension every three millennia or so and it was through the royal house that the gene had passed!" King Stygia stammered, disbelief causing his body to collapse to the ground in a weightless mass.
"Lots of training and lots of fighting are the key to unlocking the hidden power lying asleep in all of us! There are more bloody Super Saiyans now than there ever have been in Saiya-jin history! Every one of us has the potential to make level-1, many can make level-2, a handful, level- 3, and just two have gone to level-4 and beyond. Nine have tapped into a transformation beyond Oozaru," Vegeta Ouji related and his silver streaked uncle slumped with the new information.
"Daddy, I wanna be golden like Vegeta! He said I could be! Show me how to be golden!" Uslagg ran back to his cousin and tugged on his tartan colors.
The prince knelt and hugged his little cousin, as did Kakarrot. "You must enter that trainer everyday, non- stop! Get his majesty to spar and train you. If you like, K-san, the kids and myself could stay and train you before we move onto Kalegetasei, how's that sound?" the prince smiled a wide smile that seemed to brighten the entire room. "While we are here, fight the chimps. Cilvanti, Pan and Endive love a good spar. Of course, what Saiyan doesn't?"
"Yeah, I like that! I will train and I'll train so hard and make you proud of me!" Uslagg nearly jumped from his skin.
"Not me, chibi, your Outusan. It is he you must fight for and protect, as well as your little sibling and Matusan," Vegeta nodded.
"Great, but can we discuss this later? Remove this cub from my body or I'll go Super Saiyan and bite heads off!" a voice snarled and all eyes turned to find Minosaia in push stage and the medic nowhere to be found.
Powering back to normal, Vegeta threw off his tartan of blue black checked with light blue, teal and gold then took the position of the medic.
"Vegeta!" voices screamed.
"Look, we don't have time to play! This cub's coming and he's coming now! Stygia, sit at Minosaia's head and put your hands on his abdomen, then share some of your energy with him! Someone fetch me a wrap for the bundle when I draw him forth! Let's go people, make it happen an hour ago!" Prince Vegeta bellowed orders.
The crowd jumped into action with the queen and her aunt waiting to catch the birth membrane and prepare the cord to be shared amongst the clan in the same ceremony as on Minervasei not long ago. Vegeta Ouji felt his near uncle having a difficult time in pushing the cub through.
"I need to take the cub and I need him to be sedated! The child's too strong to be pushed through in the normal way! I need two people to hold a sheet over him and I. The rest of you stand back!" the prince ordered as Vegeta Ou and Bardock held a sheet over Vegeta's hands and Minosaia's abdomen. "I'm goin' in!" and with that, Vegeta formed a blade from his ki, Onya had injected her brother-in-law with a sedative, then began to slice into Bardock's twin.
"DEAD! They can't be dead! Ice Cube is one of the strongest on the planet near the other elites and myself! How did this happen?" Lord Frostige fretted.
"All I know is some strangers materialized in the desert, there was a ki blast followed by the infantry being ripped to shreds! I was behind a sand dune not too close but enough to see what was transpiring. Oh, sir, it was horrid! I've never seen anything so terrible in my life!" a survivor of the desert skirmish shakily related.
"This can't be! Ice Berg!" the Ice lord bellowed and a being another resembling Cooler in final form appeared.
Ice Berg bowed with a flourish, "You called, oh mighty one, lord of the Ice people?" he cooed in silky accents.
"Yes, my dear one, there is a 'guest' in the keep. A Saiyan, see if he is still within!" the Ice lord ordered and dismissed the soldier with a wave of his hand.
"Th- The keep, my lord? You put a guest in the keep? B- But that place is spirit ridden! I have heard the unexplained noise from inside that room, seen things float in the air and strange light from an unseen source. None of us dare venture within its confines!" the desert soldier stammered.
The Ice lord clenched his teeth; his ruby eyes began to glow dangerously, which caused the soldier to tremble. Before the soldier could scream, he was vaporized just as Ice Berg returned from his mission.
"Sir, if there was a being therein, it is not there, now," the warrior informed his lord.
"WHAT! How can that be? First the destruction of my desert troops and now this?! Gather the strongest warriors, time to visit a certain Saiyan village and make it a memory!" Lord Frostige roared, shaking his warrior to his the core of his being.
"Sir, that village is peaceful! There's no power greater than ten thousand kilis in the entire area! Besides, they provide our food and our pleasure!" Ice Berg attempted to counter but received a quelling gaze filled with fire from the Ice lord.
"You dare to countermand me? You'll end up in the other dimension just as Sleet has! I gave you and order!" Frostige bristled with anger and his tail thumped the ground with the force of an earthquake that caused a large crack to appear in the tiled flooring.
"Yes, my lord, as we speak!" and with that, Ice Berg flew from the Ice lord's presence.
Frostige found his female mate and grabbed her. "Come, female, I need release!" he demanded and threw her to into their shared chamber, ripped her garments from her being and took her in the way many of his kind took their pleasure.
Strong wails pierced the near silence of the delivery room as the newest member of the House of Stygia announced his entrance. Vegeta had removed the large powerful cub with little difficulty and was not surprised when he drew forth a golden nugget. He smirked and looked up at his mate who moved to inspect as did the queen and Onya.
Vegeta smiled at Kakarrot. "Kk, you were correct, mi amour, he is Super Saiyan, like Roma is Femzoro," Vegeta's tone was one of pure awe as he cleansed the baby's oral cavity of the gritty black substance that clung to his being.
"I don't advise cleansing this one in the traditional way that we had those two of yours, he's much too powerful and could really hurt either of his parents. The two of you need to be leveled up so that you can handle him when he's upset," King Vegeta remarked.
"Not necessarily, my Ou. Remember, I was in charge of chibis on Vegetasei, so, you know I know how to curtail their energies," Queen Sunrissa reminded their king.
"You mean a suppressor? Woman, you know they were outlawed on the planet," the darker king remarked.
"Vegeta, think, if it wasn't for the implants, many of our strongest warriors would be dead or worse. You would have had to send our son away and neither one of us would have wanted that. The implants saved Kakarrot, Ceraina and Parlissa and several other powerhouses who would have been sent away! I had to put one in Roma when I had her. She was so powerful!" the queen continued.
"M- May I see the child, nephew?" King Stygia asked. Vegeta Ou and Bardock removed the sheet so that Stygia Ou could have a look at the tiny miracle. "Oh, God, he's so beautiful," the king gasped. "My queen, those things, would they enable Minosaia and I to hold and feed our child safely until we reach his power level?"
"Yes, my brother, it will. What my son holds in his arms is a tiny nuclear generator that can power your planet for ever on his own," the queen nodded.
"Sire, if you will sever the cord about mid-way, I'll take him for cleaning. On the planet where Kakarrot was located, and I have spent the last ten Saiyan years of my life, I've picked up some very useful knowledge, especially in childcare," Vegeta Ouji smirked.
King Stygia bit the birth cord close to his mate's entrance and became aroused by the scent that wafted into his nasal passage. He whimpered as he moved to take his mate but found his head would not move.
"Down, mon frere, I'm sure Minosan would not desire to be mounted just yet. He's gonna be ragged for a few hours," a deep voice said from behind the silver streaked head.
"Tousan?" Vegeta Ouji cast a quick glance to the situation and found his sire, the king, had a hold on King Stygia's head.
"V- Vegeta, why have you a hold on me?" Stygia gasped as he stood to his face his elder sib.
"Out of care and respect for your mate, at least let him heal. Come, we'll share the cord at dinner and let Vegeta cleanse the chimp in another fashion. The babe has to be powered down before a non- Super Saiyan can handle him." King Vegeta took his younger brother away to allow Bardock and Raditz to place Minosaia into a healing tank, just as the lights on the tank that held his granddaughter changed to indicate that she was ready for release.
The medic had finally returned to the medical chamber so he stitched up the incision the prince had made then Bardock's twin was placed in the tank to heal from the rigors of childbirth that usually depleted the female gender of the Saiyan race in vast numbers. That was one of the reasons there had not been many females on Vegetasei and only the incredibly strong ever survived the births of their cubs. The females of the royal house were of such strength; however, many elite born females had to be rated third class so that they could not be touched by commoners. Nonetheless Prince Vegeta requested that his large mate fill a sink with warm water so that he could wash the newborn by hand.
"Ichison, allow Onya and myself to do that. After all, it is the females who undertake such a task. Go check on that beautiful daughter of yours then go prepare for the celebration," Queen Sunrissa smiled and took hold of the babe as the two mothers changed places with their sons.
"Danku, Mommarissa. I'll be down in a bit. K-san, my tartan if you will," Vegeta Ouji called to his mate and tossed his head in a follow-me manner, then the two ITed to Vegeta's chamber.
While the prince showered, Kakarrot returned to medical to check on his daughter who had just exited the tank. The big Saiyan wrapped a towel around the beauty, which he noticed seemed to have filled out over night and his nose caught a scent that caused him to shiver. The big Saiyan looked at his baby girl.
"Welcome back, sugerbee. How do ya feel?" he asked holding his eyes away from hers and trying not to inhale her scent.
"I'm ok, 'tousan. Where's Matusan?" she asked as she took hold of a set of training clothes 18 held for her- yes, Krillin, 18, 17 and Marron had all accompanied the Saiya-jin to Stygia.
"Teray, how about a spar after you dress, huh? We haven't done that in a long time" it was Marron' Krillin's daughter who had asked. That caused her parents to fall over in disbelief.
"Ah-ah, Marron, honey, are you all right? I mean, you haven't fought or trained since you were twelve years old," Krillin remarked.
"A lot you two know. Vegeta would take me to Minerva at times with Trunks, Goten, Kakarrot and himself just so Teray and I could spar and train together. You know there just aren't many girls my age on Earth to spar with and Trunks has Goten. Now that Kakarrot's other children have been recovered, they're gonna need a strong human trainer," Marron spoke. She then took hold of the princess once the young Saiyan beauty was fully clothed in a powder blue set of spandex with a violet colored kilt fastened about her waist and the two girls went to find a place to spar.
"Well, that's a shock. I thought that once Trunks had dumped her for Goten that she wouldn't want anything to do with the Saiyans ever again, but she is right, as a Super Human child, she doesn't have many friends. Maybe training Kakarrot's other offspring would do her well and she can finally find that one meant for her," 18 said with a mother's concern.
"I'd better go let Vegeta know that our daughter has begun to scent," Kakarrot nodded then phased back to the prince's chamber. Upon hearing the sound of falling water, the big Saiyan knew his love was still washing, thus he set out a new spandex for his mate. The new set was a honey mustard color, however, the prince was so gorgeous that he could wear a potato sac and look like a GQ model.
"So, koi, what do you think of this place?" a husky voice asked in a near whisper near Kakarrot's ear.
Kakarrot turned and met a pair of gleaming black onyx. His heart lurched at the sight before him and his dark tan gi tightened around his midsection as a portion of his body swelled with need. Swallowing against a throat that had gone dry, Kakarrot responded, "It's not Minerva but it's cozy. Was this what Castle Vegeta was like? You said this was the bedroom you had as a boy," he said as he embraced his mate, who was wrapped like a mummy in a plush bathe blanket.
"This is, yes. I'm guessing 'Tousan distributed the planet's treasures amongst all those he was sending out. I had only met Stygia once in my life but I paid no mind as to how much he resembled Vegeta Ou. I was the prince, I had not time for underlings and to me he was just a third class, the resemblance mere coincidence," Vegeta Ouji shrugged. He moved from the embrace to begin dressing in the jumpsuit that his mate had out set for him then stood for Kakarrot to reaffix his tartan colors, then he wrapped the big Saiyan in his tail and his arms. "Did I tell you how much I love you?" the prince sighed as he lay his head against his mate's chest to hear the beating of the larger man's heart that echoed his own.
"The entire time we were cleansing earlier but I can't hear it enough, especially falling from your mouth. How did I end up with the royal prize?" Kakarrot sighed as he held his mate tightly. "I wanna just take you in me and never let you go."
Vegeta snickered. "I like that idea. K-san, I-
Kakarrot took his mate's lips in his own and drew the prince's breath into his body.
"Hey, hon, we both made the mistake, so let's bury it. We just helped birth a new chimp, we've found more of our people and family at that!"
"You're right, love. Oh, I don't wanna leave but there's a birthing celebration to prepare for and like Aegar, I'm sure Stygia's gonna want the entire planet in attendance," Vegeta sighed, spun out of the embrace then the two phased into a room where their Outusans and King Stygia were located. Queen Sunrissa and Onya were feeding the chimp as the two kings and Bardock shared a spirit.
"Boys, come! My brother has proposed a village celebration and would like the planet's entire populace to attend. I told him how all of you from planet Earth knew Instant Movement and could have everyone here before celebration time," Vegeta Ou related his brother's desire to have all his people with him to celebrate as any joyous monarch would.
"Class is of no import this night. Low class shall mingle with super royal elite and be treated as guests. Lord knows those Ice-jin maggots mistreat them enough and make their lives deplorable! I don't see why any ruler of Saiya need heap any further discomfort to our own race. God knows we need to unite ourselves together under one ruler as it had been before the Ice-jin tyranny," Stygia sighed in a wistful manner.
"You remember the 'Golden Saiya-jin' from my female's line of the family? Her cousin, Aegar, is the king of that branch and has pledged his arm to me. Now we have found you and Minosan and whoever else resides on this planet," King Vegeta waved his hand at what was before him.
"There are over two thousand silver haired Saiyans that inhabit this place with us," Stygia nodded.
"Two thousand! Outusan, you told me there were just two branches of Saiya-jin, yet I see third!" the Saiyan prince glared at Vegeta Ou.
The Ou met his son glare for glare. "It was rumored that there were as many as a hundred different branches of Saiya-jin on Vegeta but no one knew for sure. In the elite sector, there was gold, silver, bronze, ebony and copper. In the lower classes, they mixed blood so much it was impossible to keep an accurate record. You would have been taught all of that had that horned maggot not whisked you from us. But that is passed. I sent as many as I could of every branch away. The entire golden branch had left once they had envisioned what Frieza was about. The other three left not soon after except for a few of those who had sworn to protect me with their lives," Vegeta Ou explained.
Suddenly a flustered and panting guard ran into the palace. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. The royals turned to regard the being and gasps were heard in the room.
"Turles? What are you doing here and what, pray tell could be so bloody awful as to send you into a panic?" Vegeta Ouji asked as he looked at the Kakarrot / Bardock twin.
"We're under attack, sires. Broli and I were on duty when blasts began raining down over us! He's out now fighting a horde of Ice-jin but even in Super Saiyan form, he can't do it alone," Turles gasped as he drew in a lung full of air.
Not wasting any time, Vegeta Ouji, Bardock, Vegeta Ou, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, Raditz, Tormataeo, Kale, Collyard, their elder offspring, and Kakarrot flew from the palace, they were followed by their human comrades, 18, 17, Krillin, Serena, Kurama and Hiei. The group all flew to assist the first Legendary Super Saiyan in the confrontation with the Ice-jin.
"Ouji, Kakarrot! Great of you to join me! I thought we had handled this scum on Minerva?" Broli asked, as he tail whipped an approaching enemy.
"These Icejin are like maggots! Hard to kill! Let's exterminate them and be quick about it!" the prince said and all Super Saiyans and super humans attacked in force.
"I can't be losing this badly, what will King Frigid say when we report to Planet Frieza next week and tell him we lost control of the Saiya-jin on Planet Stygia?" Lord Frostige fretted as he watched Saiya-jin slaughter his military with indescribable strength.
"This is a shame before Icina, the mother goddess of Frieza. How can mere monkeys be this strong! Prince Frieza was to have taken care of the lot of them when he destroyed that ape planet! Now, there's no stopping them," Lady Frizzle echoed her mate's concern.
"Sir, King Frigid is... Is...
"He's here!" a deep voice roared and all gathered jumped then bowed when their eyes focused on the source.
"Y- Your majesty! What a surprise! We weren't expecting you for some time," Lord Frostige stammered.
"Indeed. What is that?" the king pointed to a view screen upon which the battled details were shown.
"Just a battle, sire, nothing more. Some Saiyan came here and threatened to take over the planet and we thought we had him subdued and nothing to fear from him. Then others appeared and killed Ice Cube and the desert militia. We organized the rest of the armies and sent them to attack the village outside the castle. We know King Stygia is not strong enough to battle us," Frostige boasted.
"Never underestimate you opponent! Look at my army! They're being slaughtered out there! As the over lord, cousin, you should be there with them!" King Frigid hissed with his snake like tail thumping the ground in anger.
"Yes, my king, I- I was juts bout to go join them as a matter. Wouldn't want the universe to call us cowards," and with that, Lord Frostige left the palace to join his rapidly dwindling army.
"Frizzle, your mate is a coward. Join with me, female and I will give you power! We're gonna need every scrap of it to defeat these Saiya-jin. I have never seen their like before and they've taken out warriors whose energy level is off any Ice-jin chart! This does not bode well," King Frigid said in concerned tones as he continued to watch the massacre of his race. His eyes widened in shock as he beheld the unbelievable. "What the... What kind of warriors are they? They can't be simple Saiya-jin, their power is immense!" Frigid gasped as he witnessed something phenomenal.
On the battlefield, those of Legendary Super Elite status and who had mates and who wore the fusion earring, threw the opposite ring to his mate and the lightning of fusion crackled the air. Several new warriors stood to both protect the village and destroy the Ice-jin. In the palace, Sunrissa and Onya had finished cleaning the new chimp then went to look over the palace when a brilliant glow caught their eyes. The two had ventured down a dark secluded corridor of the palace when they saw the golden glow. Curious, the queen and her aunt ventured to investigate.
"What the...Imione? Cousin, is that you?" Onya asked when the two looked into the room.
The glowing figure turned at the sound and released the glow that was around her. She could not stop the emotions that swelled in her as she ran to the two females and fell into an embrace with Onya. "Oh, love, I never thought any one of my clan had survived! It's so good to see you! Look, this battle is amazing! Those golden warriors... I have no idea where they came from but look what they're doing to the Ice army!" Imione exclaimed and edged the two females to a high window from which they could see the entire battle.
"Onya, they've fused! Must be serious, we must assist!" the queen exclaimed.
"You know those warriors, my queen?" Imione asked as the females turned to leave.
"Five of them are our sons and grandchildren and their mates as well as our own! C'mon, you'll be a great asset!" the queen remarked as the three left the tower and headed to the training area where the chibis were.
"Momma, what's the hurry?" Cilvanti asked as she and several other chibis exited the gravity room along with Teresahan and Marron.
"Your dads, granddads, uncles and brothers are in a major battle. Looks like most of the Ice-jin army is in the village. That means their palace is unguarded. Power up and let's go!" Queen Sunrissa explained and the kids jumped in excitement.
The women and children zoomed passed the resting parents- Minosaia had exited the tank-out the palace and onto the battlefield. The little ones who had partners with whom to fuse, did so as did the queen and her aunt. The Ice army was overwhelmed and the sight was enough to draw the village inhabitants out of their homes to join the fray.
At the Icejin palace, the queen, Onya, Imione and several children had positioned themselves in strategic areas around the perimeter. Mentally communicating with one another, the group charged energy beams-many were in Super Saiyan mode-and aimed for the heart of the palace. The group was joined by three of the fused male warriors, who were Trunksten, Vegetto and Kaleyard (the fusion of Kale and Collyard). With their assistance, the energy beams contained enough power to destroy the planet if mishandled.
"Warriors, shoot to the sky and we'll form a ball, then we'll fly into separate directions as we hold the ball aloft. When we're at a safe distance, we'll let it fall!" Vegetto explained and the fighters did so.
"Sire, a huge ball of energy floats above us and there are several small golden beings along the wall. I think we should defend our-" before the soldier could continue warning his monarch, the palace exploded around them all.
Cheers erupted when the castle fell. From the air, the Super Saiyan army surveyed their handiwork then they flew down to the village inhabitants who bowed in reverence to them all.
"We don't know where you all came from, but thank you. They would have wiped us out, truly. You are amazing!" the village elder remarked as he made his way to the Super Saiyan army who had melted back to their normal Saiyan forms. "K- K- Vegeta Ou! Vegeta Oujisama! Queen Sunrissa, my ladies! Lord Bardock! How... When... What was that glow around you all?" the elder asked in awe.
"Adatta, long time, elder one. We have attained Legendary level. Many of us are Super Saiyans and beyond!" King Vegeta exclaimed and motioned for the villagers to rise.
King Stygia and Minosaia stood in a top most room where they could oversee the situation.
"Minosan, I can't believe this! The whole time, that Ice-jin lied and kept us his prisoners," the king sighed as he hugged his mate, who held the infant.
"It took our family to make us realize and now look, they are the legends and our first son is on the verge and the cub is level. I must thank her majesty for implanting the suppressor into the cub so that we can handle him," Minosaia remarked as he leaned back into his mate's chest. "Where did Imione come from?" Minosaia asked.
"She must have watched the battled from her room and found a way to join up with the others. You know she was Super. Come, let us welcome our troops and have the celebration with our people," King Stygia clapped his mate on the shoulder.
King Vegeta and sons had organized the villagers into an impromptu gathering. There was no elaborate arena such as it was on Minerva but the palace courtyard was large enough and afforded a wonderful view of the palace, King Stygia, Minosaia and the cub.
King Stygia stood with his mate and his cub on the drawbridge entrance of the palace. "My people, family and guests, I am both humbled and amazed at what I have both witnessed and have been told of. The Ice-jin were not the easiest enemy to defeat but we did it! My heart was with you even though I could not be in body. This celebration is as much for you my children as it is to welcome a new warrior into the universe. My children, it is with great pleasure that I introduce Prince Vishnair, born this afternoon at Super Saiyan level-1. All hail the new prince!" the king exclaimed and the villagers erupted into shouts and cheers.
King Vegeta stood to address the crowd. "My children, it gives me a greater pleasure to crown Prince Uslagg as heir to the throne of Stygia. This night he has made Ascended Super Saiyan and has earned his place among the legends!" the Ou picked up his nephew and showed him to the crowd. More shouts and cheers.
Following the dedication, the villagers returned to their home only to reemerge with acres of food for the celebration to add to what King Stygia's servants had hunted for earlier, thus the Saiya-jin then indulged in good food, entertainment, sparring and catching up, especially King Stygia and Queen Imione.
"My king, why was her majesty locked away?" Onya asked as the royal family sat to dine and watched the chibis spar.
King Stygia hung his head. "She couldn't breed. We tried for years and years with no success. Instead of killing her as was dictated by the old laws, since I was king, I would just put her away and let her interact with the villagers and aid them. She had gone Super and I thought of her as a shame, a smirch on the royal house. Now I realize I was in error and I ask my queen's forgiveness," King Stygia took hold of Queen Imione's hand as he knelt in front of her.
"I do, your majesty but I am going to leave you to be with my cousin and her niece as they can show me the ways of the Super Saiyan female," Queen Imione stated as her king rose.
"It is correct that should happen. Be happy, my lady," the king bade as he stood with Minosaia.
"We shall ensure that she will be. We have several young females who will need heavy training as Queen Vegetanna is heavy with Kakarrot's chimp. We shall leave on the morrow to return to our respected planets," Queen Sunrissa nodded.
"I shall look forward to seeing the family again. My king, that is a beautiful chimp. Do not hide his power and attain the unattainable for yourself. The power is amazing!" Queen Imione smiled as she watched Cilvanti, Endive, Uslagg and Pan all spar at Super Saiyan level. "I can't believe they have all attained the power and the new prince was born at level!"
"It is amazing to find out that Bardock's family line and Vegeta's both harbored the gene for the transformation, and you come in on Bardock's line as does Onya. It is easier for Bardock's clan to attain Super Saiyan level than it is for Vegeta's line. However, with lots of hard work and training, any one of us can attain Super Saiyan level-1," Queen Sunrissa explained.
"I have never known what branch of the Saiya-jin I was from, only that I had silver hair unlike many who had black hair and eyes. My hair is silver and my eyes are indigo, but Bardock is indigo haired, more black than blue, black eyes and very regal in stature. His sons are black haired and there is no silver. Where did this branch come from?" Imione asked with an elegant shrug.
"A recessive gene like the 'Golden Saiya-jin' on Sunrissa's side. Even though the tree might have one major root, there are many different branches, especially a family tree. Just know that we are all united and soon the Saiya-jin will once again be the driving force in the universe. For now, my daughter, enjoy and find a partner to battle with," King Vegeta smiled at his mate's cousin in law who got up and tagged her cousin, Onya.
Thus the Saiyans indulged in their first love, battle, battle and more battle.
