CHAPTER XIV

THE JOURNAL

Two Earth hours later, the two ships sliced through the Earth's atmosphere like an icebreaker through the frozen waters of the Antarctic Ocean. The second the two vessels had cleared the atmosphere and Vegeta could see that they were below radar detection, he told Shrumassa to uncloak the ships as the prince uncoupled them. Vegeta had used the Instant Transmission to shorten the trip and bring them into the two- hour landing range of Earth.

"Shrumassa, you land first, get whatever you need then vacate the ship so my son can store it," Vegeta instructed.

With no questions asked, Shrumassa guided Vegeta Ou's craft to the landing sight located in the vast desert of Little Vegeta. Gohan and the others Vegeta had instructed to meet them stood gathered along with the entire population of the little kingdom. Kakarrot caught sight of his sons, Cilantra, Videl and Pan out the cockpit window, then he grabbing hold of his mother, he teleported to where they stood.

"Gohan, Goten, Videl, Cilantra, Pan, this is my mother, Onya! Momma, these two strong boys are your grandsons, Gohan and Goten. This is Videl, Gohan's mate and this is their daughter Pan. The young lady with Goten is Cilantra," Kakarrot introduced as the ship landed and the other occupants exited.

A loud roar of exaltation erupted the moment Queen Sunrissa stepped from the ship. At that moment, the second craft landed beside the Saiya-jin no Ou's craft and the occupants of that ship exited. Vegeta held back as the people greeted their queen.

"Ichison, you are the reason she left our new planet. We had promised to contact her with any news of you. We got so carried away with finding you; we forgot that little arrangement. Go to her, you are our king, you know," Kayla said as she took her brother and the two sibs went to be with their only surviving parent.

Sunrissa turned and saw her eldest son and daughter approach her and behind them was Lady Parlissa. She stood regally and waited for them to get closer to her. The three bowed. She scowled, reached down and pulled her daughter to her feet, balled her right hand into a fist and brought it in connection with the girl's stomach. This sent the younger girl too the ground. Kale drew closer to his mother to receive his punishment and she jump kicked him across the desert. Vegeta waited with his heart pounding in his peak for whatever the queen had in store for him. He stood in complete surrender as she readied a blast, which she threw at her eldest son's chest. Seeing the energy ball heading for his prince, Kakarrot started to head over to the scene. A grip on his gi held him in place. He looked and found his mother had taken hold of training pants and held him tight.

"Don't interfere, my son. She is very hurt and very angry. Even children of the great King Vegeta must be punished," Onya scolded her son.

"But, momma, Geta'll get hurt by that blast, I have to protect him!" Kakarrot whined, his eyes widening in horror as he watched the blast get closer to his prince and best friend. The commander turned away and buried his face behind Gohan. He tensed his body as he prepared to hear Vegeta cry out in pain. The big Saiyan's heart fell out of place when he heard nothing. Hesitantly he turned back to face the scene and found his prince embedded in a huge rock writhing in pain.

The proud Saiyan prince allowed her majesty to injure him. He deserved as much if not more for the hurt and torture he'd put her through, but he did not know she had been spared. The prince peeled himself from the crater his body had made in the rock, got to his feet and turned to look behind him. His blood froze. His lady, who had been standing right behind him when the queen's blast hit, lay sprawled in the rock crater. He had been blown backward and was unaware she was standing so close. He had crashed on top of her and...He didn't want to think about the result.

"Lissa! Lissa, talk to me!" He leaned into the chasm and felt for a pulse. "You will not leave me, I won't let you!" he screamed then blasted the rock away and his lady fell into his arms then he teleported to the palace. Once inside, the prince raced to the basement, stripped his mate and placed her in the tank. After filling it with the DNA of their people, he sat beside the tank and waited.

"M-my queen, I-I apologize for his highness," Kakarrot bowed to his queen.

"Rise, son of Onya, take me to my son. It is I who must apologize to him. I may have cost him his life mate in my punishment of he and his siblings," Sunrissa nodded to the commander.

After the two spacecraft had been stored, Kakarrot and Vegeta's offspring took hold of the queen and the others then the entire crowd teleported to the palace.

"Your majesty, I am Trunks and this is my sister, Cilvanti. We are the offspring of your son, the no Ouji," Trunks introduced himself and his sister.

"Where's your Outusan?" the queen asked.

"In the basement with momma. She's not good," Cilvi said and led the queen, the twins, Cornelia, Tormatanna, and Kakarrot to the isolation room. "D-daddy..." the baby said hesitantly as she entered the room and went to sit in her dad's lap.

The others entered the room in total silence and went to sit with Vegeta no Ouji. The queen sat closest to him and took him in her arms. The prince inhaled and his dulled mind woke up.

"Ma-momma? Mommarissa, I'm so sorry I hurt you," he said then burst into tears as he returned her embrace after he handed Cilvi to her brother who also sat beside the prince.

Sunrissa gently rocked her eldest baby as a familiar melody sounded from within her person. It was the Saiyan lullaby that the parents of Little Vegeta sang to their children. Then the queen opened her mouth to sing the words to what she was humming as she gently stroked her son's tail to lull away his restlessness. Soon she heard her son's breathing become regular and even and she knew he was asleep. She pushed Kakarrot and Trunks away when they approached to take the prince away.

"Leave him. He's mine and I've missed him like I've never missed any being in my life. I don't even miss Vegeta Ou, his Outusan, as much as I missed him. We have a special bond and the day he was taken away from me and given to that white devil, I died. I knew I had completely lost my tenderhearted baby forever. He's such a good chimp and he's been so hurt. I dreamed of him not long ago and felt that he was in great distress. I had to find him and come to him. He needs his mother," the queen said as she fingered her son's ebony/mahogany colored locks and covered him with the hair that lay in a pool in her lap.

If the others had not been witnesses, they would not have believe it but as with the night that Lissa and Vegeta had bonded, the queen and her son seemed to have blended into one being for the briefest nanosecond. The love that radiated from mother to son was palpable and felt like the heat of ten suns. She fussed and tended to his sleeping form as few had seen him fuss with Cilvanti. Sunrissa was as brilliant and lovely as her name as she cradled the elder prince like a baby. She looked around for a place to lay him and Trunks indicated a full sized futon opposite the isolation tank. Levitating slightly, the queen carried her one love after her mate and lay him gently on the mattress, then she lay beside him and trailed his tail through her fingers.

"M-my queen, why did you fight them, the twins and Vegeta, I mean?" Kakarrot asked and his mother looked at him as if he had landed from another planet.

"Kakarrot! Apologize to her majesty at once!" Onya scolded her only son.

"My queen, Kakarrot has been raised as an Earthling, so is used to challenging authority, especially the no Ouji's. He means no harm, but he and the prince have formed a friendship and I feel that Kakarrot would give his life for our no Ouji," Celerion, the medic/navigator explained.

Sunrissa looked at the large Saiyan and smiled. 'Onya, what those two have is what their 'Tousan's had ages ago but they don't know it as yet. Lissa's not going to be in this picture long if I have anything to do with it, aunt of mine,' the queen spoke to Kakarrot's mother via telepathy. "I would never harm my one, Kakarrot, I challenged his authority the way he challenged mine aboard the ship. My one is very strong and he knew I had become a Super Saiyan, I don't know how, but he did. My scouter went crazy when it encountered his power!" Sunrissa said as she ran her hand through her son's long hair.

"He hides his power, my queen, we all do. We avoid detection that way. I play a game with the kids called hide and come find me and we feel out one another's chiis. It takes them some time to find me because I can mask my level. Vegeta learned how to hide his level when he and Nappa invaded this planet some years ago," Kakarrot said.

"How did you meet Ichimi?" Sunrissa asked and lay her head on the prince's back. One would have to have been blind to miss the near worship the queen poured out to her dosing offspring. Well, it was almost the same with Vegeta and Cilvanti and the bond the two of them shared.

Kakarrot began from the first moment that Raditz had landed on Earth with the intention of soliciting his assistance on a purge mission, told her about Nappa and the prince, about the adventure to the planet Namek to obtain that planet's Dragon Balls and make a wish. About how Frieza had killed the prince and the commander himself attaining the SSJ level and how his highness was wished back to life with the Namek Dragon Balls. The commander related about Vegeta's son from a time in Earth's future, about the fight with the androids and with a being called Cell who practically annihilated all who got in is way.

"Even though the androids and Cell were mainly out to destroy me, his highness was there and always came through. He told everyone that he'd fight the androids himself and he held his own against them all until he got trounced by Android 18, the blonde sitting beside Krillin over by the second regen tank. When the androids first arrived, I was suffering with a heart virus I had contacted on a planet called Yardrat. When Androids 19 and 20 appeared, after the warning from the kid from the future and three years of intense training, we met them in a city where they were on a killing spree," Kakarrot related.

"There must have been some leisure time in between training or I wouldn't be a grandmother, would I? I hope she was worthy of Ichimi. I'd hate to have to kick some bimbo into the next universe," Sunrissa snarled and tightened the hold she had on her eldest one.

"Go ahead, I'm sure daddy won't care. In fact, he may just help you," it was Cilvanti who volunteered the information. The queen looked at her youngest grandchild who lay on the other side of the prince.

"What do you mean, my little one?" her majesty asked and Cilvi began the story of how the blue haired harridan tried to kill the three of them through the little one herself. Sunrissa sat open mouthed in shock as Cilvi related the episode of how the Earth-jin the prince had mated with had had an energy suppressing collar put around the little princess' neck to turn her energy inward and attack her.

The queen stared at her granddaughter with wide black eyes. "Ichimi let such a creature live? In the old days he would have blasted a servant for less! He has truly returned to the little boy I raised in secret to love and care for others while the king trained him to be ruthless and uncaring, at least outwardly so," Sunrissa remarked.

At that time, the Tsurian and Rockarian ruling families entered the recovery area and the occupants nodded for them to enter. Queen Sunrissa rose with the aid of her grandson and second son, then the three queens fell onto one another's necks in greeting hugs.

"I can't believe you made it all this way! I thought that once you all settled your new home that you'd never venture out again!" Queen Jusinya remarked as the three women sat together.

The other two princes and their offspring sat at the foot of Vegeta's bed and began talking about the upcoming war just as the queens discussed their time on planet Minerva.

"I wouldn't be here if my youngest children had contacted me with news that they had found their brother!" Sunrissa looked pointedly at her two youngest offspring who had the grace to hang their heads.

"I'm sure they were just excited with the fact that he was still alive, don't punish them too roughly. Zarbon has told me how ruthless your people once were," Zatanna said as she studied the sleeping Saiyan prince. She smiled. "Your son is very striking. He was glorious as that 'Golden Warrior' on Minerva when those Icejin attacked. I couldn't believe it was he who had single-handedly destroyed the army from Kellogg-18. He was engulfed in a fire of pure gold. His hair, which was much shorter than it is now, fanned out in a golden flame and his eyes were a beautiful teal jade," Zatanna sighed in a wistful tone.

"Vegeta, my eldest child? A 'Golden Warrior'? What are you going on about, Zatanna?" Sunrissa asked, a skeptical look in her ebony orbs.

At that moment, Princess Kayla perked up from resting on her mate's strong shoulder. "Momma, you remember we were hiding! It was just after Lissa had given birth to the fourth of that fat scum's offspring. Thankfully, that abomination had died before it ever saw the light of day. Anyway, it was as King Aegar was sending us off planet to settle our new homes. He told us that the Icejin were preparing to storm the palace and to vacate before they could find our remnants. Here, King Aegar, you continue," Kayla conceded to the Minervan monarch.

"My planet protector had returned from a destruction engagement and stopped by on his way back to Earth. He had seen the Icejin as they prepared to raid the palace. I told him I had several survivors from different planets and he suggested that I send them off to new homes so that the loss of life, if any would be minimal. He then charged up his ki and teleported to where the enemy was located, which was where most of you all had been placed in hiding in the underground bunkers. He didn't start in Super Saiyan level, that happened after he let the enemy think that they stood a chance to win, then he extinguished them a group at a time," King Aegar related and Queen Sunrissa ingested all this info about her prize.

"I remember him, now! I couldn't believe a being any bigger than Prince Jeice had such power at his command! I remember taking the image of him charging after the enemy with me to Kale-alea and strangely, he was all I ever dreamed of at night. I would say a silent prayer for him and ask the Great Creator to protect one so brave, brash and... Oh, he was handsome! Now, I find out he was my eldest baby? This is too unreal!" Sunrissa sighed.

Then the queens fell silent and caught ear of what Zarbon and Jeice were discussing and Queen Sunrissa gasped in horror.

"Frieza? Did you say Frieza, Prince Jeice?" she could not stop the flood of tears from her eyes. "And what do you mean he's back in this dimension?"

Kale and Trunks embraced her majesty to comfort her. "Mommarissa, don't worry! We've been preparing for him and his partner. Elder one trains us very hard like Vegeta Ou would the commanders of the army," Kale remarked as he held his mother.

"Frieza had been defeated and hacked to pieces by a boy from this planet's future. I was there. I saw the boy and he frightened the crap outta Frieza, who was already spooked from his Namek defeat. When we had been wished back to this planet, Gohan related the story about how his dad had changed into a Super Saiyan," Piccolo related.

"I bet Frieza passed out when he found that legend Vegeta had always spouted was true after all. Heh, stupid little monkey thought he was destined to be the legend when he was nowhere near that other Saiyan's power," Jeice jeered and received sharp glances from the gathered crowd.

A growl emitted from the lungs of the Saiya-jin and Trunks made a move towards the orange alien. 'Trunks stop! We need him alive!' Trunks stopped his progress. "Tousan?" the young man asked.

'Yes, boy, I know what Prince Jeice said and I'll deal with him when I return to consciousness,' the older prince remarked in a mental voice.

'Yes, tousan. I won't give into the desire to strangle him for that remark,' the younger Saiyan prince resolved then he looked over at his best friend. "Goten, let's go spar, maybe teach Trunksten some new attacks," he said to his near-in law and the two boys and their female mates left to go spar.

"If what you just said about Frieza having been killed and sent to the other dimension is true, who would have wished him back? His vicious dad?" Onya asked as she lay on her son's shoulder.

"King Cold met his end at the hand of the future kid, as well. In the pictures King Aegar showed us, I thought I saw a faint outline that belonged to that huge hunk of ice," Gohan chimed as he thought back to the images King Aegar had shared with the group sometime ago.

"Frieza will have just one thing on is mind, and that's to destroy the rest of us," Shrumassa sighed as he looked at the Saiyans gathered around.

'No, Shrumassa, he won't have the chance. Kakarrot, take our mothers, Kale's mate and the guards and teach them about Fusion. Start training those who haven't made level as yet,' the prince's voice sounded in the commander's head. 'Momma, I'll be all right. Cilvi's here and she'll let you all know when I wake up,' Vegeta told the queen.

'Yes, my prince. My apologies for hurting Lissa in such a shameless manner,' Sunrissa replied as she rose to follow Kakarrot, her twins and the others out of the treatment room.

'Momma, worry not on that head. I heard what you said to Onya. Just between you and me, I'd rather have him over her but you know my duty to provide an heir to the throne,' Vegeta told the queen.

'I know, my one. Until you are crowned king, the old laws stand. Take care,' the queen replied then silenced the link.


Bulma and her friends had completed their camping foray into the wilderness and had returned to civilization not soon afterwards. She and Yamcha had found that they could not rekindle what they had once had, so decided to just stay friends. Bulma then decided she'd do some spring-cleaning, as she knew there was clutter in the attic space of CC. Donning an old pair of jeans, a sweatshirt and after tying up her blue hair, she set to work going through boxes and such. Most of what she uncovered was trash, which would go into the incinerator. Then she opened a box that had strange markings on it. The wording was definitely in an alien handwriting. Where had that box come from? Curious, she opened it and gasped! The first thing her eyes saw was a picture of six people. She withdrew the item and studied it. She tried to read the names but again, they were written in that foreign hand. She wished she could read it. Shrugging, she put the picture aside then withdrew an envelop.

Within the envelope were gathered letters written in two distinct languages. One was the same alien hand that was on the picture; the other was written in her language. Bulma sat and began to read the ones that she could.

* Entry-1: Left Earth in search for that third class bakayaro, Kakarrot. How dare he presume to attain that which was mine to claim! I am the one of the royal bloodline with the gene that carries the hidden possibility to become the legend incarnate! No matter, I will find him, discover how he made level, attain it and beat the snot out of him to become the most powerful warrior in the universe!

Surprised, that silly Earth female offered me a place to stay, but I have more pressing things to attend to. Maybe I'll attend to her upon my return! What am I thinking? Anyway, now to find that third class nobody!

* Entry 2: Stopped by one of the planets I had conquered for Frieza. Negotiated with usual diplomatic fashion-arm extended, palm facing scared native, preparing to blast local to next dimension if they don't surrender and pledge allegiance to me. Asked if they had seen Kakarrot (Goku-what a punk name) but they act like the mindless morons I took them for. Blasted them anyway.

(Bulma sat open mouthed. It took all of five minutes to discover what she had found and that was insight into her ex-mate. Mesmerized, she had to read the next entry.)

*Entry 3: Kept picking up Kakarrot's chi but every time I landed, he was always ahead of me: taunting me like a female Saiyan with the lush brown tail of hers. My breath caught in my throat at a thought. A thought of one struck down before she was old enough to breed. She was mine and she taunted me with her tail even though we were both just chimps. She drove me crazy from the moment I set eyes on her and we fought like a pair of mad cats... Stop this, Vegeta, you know full well she died with the planet and so did whatever heart you may have had at one time.

(On that very page a few letters were smeared as if the writer had shed... Tears? Bulma gasped. 'Vegeta had cried when he wrote this passage. The girl in the cave who brought that burst of sunshine into his cold eyes, which didn't look as cold as they had once upon a time. Her mind flashed back to the night they had camped in the cave and Vegeta had taken them to dinner with his people, Zarbon and that little orange skinned alien and their people. Vegeta had a beautiful young maiden kneel in front of his being and he placed a jeweled collar around her neck. He had called her Parlissa Saturna. A light emitted from the two of them like nothing she'd ever seen before and the two seemed to have blended for the briefest nanosecond. He had said that he had chosen her as his lifemate when the two were just chimps. Bulma was crushed! He never talked of anyone before her, but then he never really shared himself with her, either. She wanted to read on, so decided to take the journal with her. Bulma repacked the box and took it down to her bedroom where she noted that the sky had turned dark and the clock on her dresser read 7:00pm).

(After a refreshing shower, Bulma slipped on a silky short nighty, crawled into bed and resumed reading. She couldn't help but feel for the poor alien who had written the passage at the time. No wonder he was such an angry being when he first arrived and throughout much of their relationship. Bulma skipped several passages as she wondered if he had chronicled anything about the two of them. She decided that she would read it in order. Vegeta was a being who did things in a certain order, she found out during her time with him).

*Entry 3 (continued): May as well return to that blue mud ball with that blue haired minx. She's enticed me just like Kakarrot has done but in a different manner.

*Entry 4: Returned to Earth and crashed behind that place called Capsule Corporation. That woman and her weakling boyfriend were gathered. They asked if I had found that poor excuse for a Saiyan, third class, Kakarrot (Goku). Reported the negative. Weak link (Yamcha) tried to challenge me and I told him I was highly upset. Informed him that pounding him would be good therapy for me. Woman had the rude temerity to tell me that I offended their olfactory organs. Well, Saiya-jin were more odiferous than most races in the universe, but anyone who'd said as much, ate chi for breakfast, ha, ha, ha! Remembered the day Nappa and I invaded this cozy little out planet and encountered Kakarrot's brat and the green Namek being. That brat had told Nappa he smelled like toenails. Guess that's what the two of them thought of my being. The woman told me that I needed a bath. Saiya-jin, when they felt gamy, just jumped into a watering hole, found some pleasant smelling herb, rubbed it on themselves then rinsed off. The woman took... ah ... led me to a room where a closet with a glass door was located. I couldn't help but follow her! That round little backside of hers! Well, she had practically put it in my face! I was hypnotized! Plus, I had told Gohan when we were on Namek that she was gorgeous!

(At that passage, Bulma gasped. Had she just read that he had thought she was gorgeous? When had he seen her to make such a remark? Was that why he had followed her? Well, that just showed what good taste he had. She was the best looking girl-in her eyes-in the country. Who wouldn't want her? She shook away the thought and continued to read.)

*Entry 5: Took the shower after the female acquainted me with the mechanics of the thing. Surprised again, the water felt wonderful and I lost myself in thought. Grr Kakarrot...! Just wait until you return to this planet! I'll beat the snot right out of you! Also marveled at what an enigma the female species was. Completed the shower and called the 'servant woman'-who got very offended at that-to get me a drying cloth. She told me that she had a name and that she was not my servant and for me to get my own drying cloth-they call it a towel on this planet. Powered up just enough to dry off.

Well, this just would not be tolerated! Didn't she know that I could blast her and her little insignificant planet to oblivion? Told her to forget the drying cloth then I caught sight of the garments that she had left for me. I gagged. The clothes! My Kami! I remarked about the clothes. She asks what about them. I replied that they were pink. I told her I was a warrior. She told me that a man in pink was the latest style on the planet. What did she think I was a kind of flower? Her sense of style and coloring left a lot to be desired! The outfit consisted of a pink shirt, yellow pants and green sneakers. Ugh! Well, I had no choice but to adorn these hideous trappings. How was I gonna face that woman and her weakling boyfriend? I knew they'd mock and laugh at me. I hate that. It hurts a lot. I'm still smarting from the humiliation of being enslaved by Frieza. I put on the clothes. I feel like a fool and I know they'll laugh. If it was her plan to insult me, she had just succeeded with these putrid colors.

*Entry 6: Gathered for a barbecue when I picked up a strong power. I knew it was Frieza's power and declared that Kakarrot had failed. Stupid moron asked how I knew it was Frieza and I told him I made such facts my business to know. Idiot female asked if I wanted more barbecue sauce on my ribs and I said, 'Sure, why not.' I know he'll be gunning for me but I'm nearly powerless against such a power. It's not easy to bluff Frieza as many times as I've tried and died doing it. Hell, on Namek, I goaded him into transforming into his highest level but when I saw that creature, I was too petrified to even catch a breath. I fear very few things in my existence and Frieza is one of them. Haven't found another, yet. Blasted off to where I had sensed Frieza. Am followed by weak link. We land in a desert. Joined by the rest of the idiot squad numb nuts. Hooray, the gang's all here. Let's have a party. Looked up to see that crazy blue-haired minx had followed us. She sat in some sort of flying contraption. She landed not far from us. We discussed what to do as Frieza's ship sailed over head then crash-landed in the desert.

The Namek said that we should take him out but chicken weakling remarked that it would be suicide. Being a warrior like the Namek, I told weak knees that green man was right and that we had to attack first. It was suggested that we go investigate what the deal was but it was necessary to hide our chi, so we climbed the near 90-degree cliff to where we had seen the ship crash. Once on level ground, we stayed in the valley to discuss options. Sensed a new power level even greater than Frieza's. Thought chi belonged to Kakarrot as he was at Super Saiyan level. An explosion from a distance motivated the little chrome dome into action and he began to fly off. I grabbed his leg and told him that he'd give us all away. Informed him that until I knew what we were dealing with, I preferred to stay unnoticed then I threw him to the ground. He landed on his rear. They all looked at him in wonder. Call it insanity but I was just as curious. I took off running and the others followed leaving the minx and the floating cat behind. They did join us, however.

Ended up on higher ground to survey what went down. Saw after math of explosion. When smoke cleared; saw yellow glow in the midst. Witnessed Frieza trying to destroy adversary by using the red planet bomb he told me he used to take out my home planet. Watched as red ball embedded 3/4 into ground. Saw ball rise out of ground. That was amazing! That could not be Kakarrot! He would never be able to lift that thing as effortlessly as this new warrior had done! Saw Frieza fire a blast at the bomb. Krillin yelled to get down. Watched as ball exploded. Saw a blast hit between Frieza and King Cold. They flew into air. Kakarrot's brat pointed to the spot where the three were located. We looked up and watched, as Frieza got sliced to pieces then blasted into the next dimension. I remarked that the boy had beaten Frieza effortlessly and wondered who he was and just where he had come from. Chrome dome replied he had no clue but hoped the guy was on their side-he said our, but I didn't include myself on that side. All I wanted was to defeat Kakarrot.

Blue hair remarked about the fighters being tiny dots, which she could not see or even tell apart. She said the one was probably Kakarrot (Goku) and how he had a knack for showing up at just the right time. She then cooed like a school girl in love and remarked about Kakarrot being 'Mr. Super Saiyan' and that he was 'such a stud.' That weakling I threatened to pound earlier that afternoon told her that the one being was not Goku (yuck, what a horrid name! I cringe when I hear it. Never again would I utter that name!) However, the guy was definitely a Super Saiyan. I clenched my teeth then took to the air. The others followed.

(Bulma mused. That was a long age ago. Even though he was wearing the ridiculous colors she had left for him, he was still arrogant with that in-charge attitude and led the group to where the new warrior and another being were floating. As they flew, the other two had descended. She skimmed the passage and found that Vegeta had not left one detail out.)

*Entry 6 (continued): As we flew towards the so-called Saiyan and King Cold-Frieza's old man-the two of them descended to continue fighting. Saw the boy and Old King Cold (heh, heh, pardon the pun). The boy handed his sword to that monster that then played with it then tried to slice the boy. The boy stopped the blade with his hand; burst into SSJ then blasted Cold off the cliff side on which they had stood. Cold crashed into cliff below and the boy stood above him with a hand extended. Saw King Cold pleading for his life when BAM! Cold was blasted into the next dimension. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I only wished it had been me who had finished them off after what they had put Raditz, Nappa and myself through all those years in their service. The boy powered down and I saw that he had lavender colored hair and was wearing a blue jacket with some kind of crest on it. His pants were dark grey and his boots were yellow ski type boots.

*Entry 7: The boy looked up at us, after he defeated Cold, and told us that he was flying off to a place to meet Kakarrot not far from the location where we floated. Gasps of surprise left everyone's lungs, even my own. In my mind I told myself that I was certain this kid was no Super Saiyan and that Kakarrot and I were the only two left. The boy said Kakarrot would be arriving a few hours from that present time. The brat was the first to jump in then three eyes. The one blue hair clung to like a life-line remarked how he didn't trust the kid but three eyes reminded him the kid had just saved us from Frieza. Woman remarked how that guy didn't trust her either. The boy flew off then the brat followed. After which went the Namek then myself followed. The others came behind me. I wanted to find out who the boy was. The boy then landed followed by the rest of us. The boy tossed something to the ground. It exploded to reveal a box thing of some kind. Weakling warned us to watch out and that the boy was up to something. The boy leaned into the box and pulled out a can of some sort. He offered everyone a drink and remarked that Kakarrot was not due to arrive for two more hours and that the desert was hot and dry. Blue hair, the brat and chrome dome went for the drinks. The woman asked the boy if they had ever met and he told her no. Brat asked how he knew Kakarrot. The boy told him he had never met his dad and had only heard of him. Then the boy was asked how he knew where 'Goku' would be landing but he couldn't supply the answer. The brat reminded the boy that when he defeated Frieza and his dad and that purple hair had been a Super Saiyan. Me being me, I challenged the boy by calling him a liar then pointed out that Kakarrot and myself were the only full Saiyans left and that Kakarrot's brat, Gohan, was half Saiyan, making the total three.

Brat reminded me the boy defeated Frieza. I reply that I called him a liar, not a weakling. Something odd about the boy with the purple hair, he bothers me but the prospect of Kakarrot's imminent return filled me with excitement. Woman noticed a patch on the shoulder of the boy's jacket and remarked that it belonged to her dad's company. She asked for his name but he could not tell her. Black haired and three-eyed giant remarked about the secret the boy was hiding and black hair said he wanted a secret name as well. Woman shot back about all of us being jealous of the fact that the boy had just defeated Frieza-an indication that we were the weaklings, the nerve of the minx!

Found places to sit and wait. Chrome dome and woman sat together, midget and 3 eyes together, brat and Namek. The boy and I sat on separate rocks away from each other. Boy looked at me and I asked him what he was looking at. He covered and said he liked my shirt, I replied that he would. He looked away in thought then looked back again and I asked him hadn't he ever seen a pink shirt before. Told boy if he liked it so much that he could have it, he declined and looked away. When I'm able to, I'm gonna burn this piece of crap clothing.

(Bulma had been aware of how much he hated the outfit she had found amongst Yamcha's discarded clothing but she thought that the pint sized Saiyan needed a blow to his mighty ego. It backfired because he made that outfit look good. He certainly had one heck of a killer body. She kept reading).

*Entry 7 (continued): Sat in contemplation of what I was gonna do to Kakarrot once the opportunity presented itself also wondered why that pretty boy resembled me to some extent. Midget remarked that kid could have met Kakarrot in space then that other weakling, Yamcha, piped up and said that the boy could be wrong. Woman pointed out the only way to be sure was to wait the allotted time to see the result. She asked the guy how much time had passed. He responded that only an hour had elapsed. She said to chill out for another hour. The two had words. He told her to find another ride and she said that she would. Chrome dome remarked about the boy and I sitting so far from anyone else as if we were too good to be with them and truth to tell, I am. Blue hair replied that I was a prince and didn't have to adhere to such social graces as socializing.

A tiny beep sounded and pretty boy stood to announce that time was up and that Kakarrot would be arriving any minute during that time. A scant few seconds later, those of us who could pick up chi felt his very profoundly. The woman remarked that her woman's intuition wasn't picking up a thing. Silly human minx didn't even have a decent power level of her own. We looked to the sky and saw a ball as it fell into the atmosphere. The adrenaline began to course through my 5'4" compact frame-little comfort; I'm taller than the human female, chrome dome, the brat and the white skinned midget who hung around 3 eyes. That little thing tried to take Nappa out himself by self-destruction. Brave little thing, didn't work though.

We watched as the ball crashed at some distance away. Chrome dome said that the last one to the site was a rotten egg, whatever that meant. I took to the air behind the Namek while the others ran to the site. The others stood around the massive crater the craft had created-I stood on a tall peak away from them all. Heard the brat remark about the size of the crater. Saw that the craft was a Saiyan pod. The hatch opened and he emerged. The other dweebs jumped up and down in excitement-save for the Namek, pretty boy and myself-the three of us sort of stared at him; however, secretly I was pleased that he was back. I have yet to find out how he became Super Saiyan-thought I had found out when I tracked him to that last planet before my own return.

Idiot asked how we knew he would be returning. I wondered where he'd gotten his outfit from. He told us he would have been on Earth sooner to meet and finish off Frieza, but that the freak had gained 2hrs on him. Blue hair informed Kakarrot that the purple haired boy finished off Frieza. Then pretty boy called Kakarrot away for a private talk. Somehow I ended up standing behind blue hair but that didn't phase me in the least. The two yutzes went off for their private talk and we watched as Kakarrot transformed into a Super Saiyan then the boy. Next the boy drew his sword and began to fight with Kakarrot who fought with his pointer finger. That action would haunt me forever and was a major blow to both my pride and my ego.

After they had powered down back to normal, the two had a deep discussion, which caused Kakarrot to yell out the blue haired minx's name and look in our direction. Couldn't fathom what the dolt was staring at but it seemed to involve that very same blue haired woman. Pretty boy then gave Kakarrot something then the boy flew off and we ran to join Kakarrot. Kakarrot was asked what was said and he replied that it was nothing important. The Namek countered and said that the conversation sounded pretty important and he told Kakarrot he had heard what was said. Kakarrot balked in surprise. The Namek spoke up and told the fool to tell us what the boy said and Kakarrot remarked that he couldn't betray the boy's trust. It was surprising that the Namek had heard the conversation and I had not! My Saiyan hearing like my eyesight was first rate-at least when compared with lesser beings. The Namek said that he would tell and promised not to say anything endangering to Kakarrot's new friend then the Namek related what he had heard. He said the boy was from the future, 24 years from our present time and that in his time none of us existed, not even myself-big shock there, makes me sorry my wish for immortality was not fulfilled. Well, I'm young yet, time enough to make that wish. Namek related that Kakarrot was the first to die from a new virus that attacked the heart and not even a Super Saiyan would be safe from it. The something the boy had handed to Kakarrot was a vial of medication for him to take at the onset of the virus. Great, I don't even get the pleasure of pounding that hard head into some stone hillside nor of killing him! A stinkin' heart virus robs me of that joy! Oh, the irony!

The Namek related that in three years, on May 12th on an island 9 miles southwest of South City from the present time, two androids would surface to wreak havoc on the Earth. Then the conversation turned to where Kakarrot had been since Namek's destruction. I had asked him how he survived and the idiot remarked that Frieza's ship had been a wreck. Kakarrot said he had tried for that ship at first but it would not go. He said that fought desperately to get the thing started but it began to slide into a canyon. As it slid, Kakarrot said he saw another ship falling as well, but that one was in tact. I remarked that it must have belonged to one of the Ginyu Force-Frieza's bone headed elite special force. What a laugh that quintet were, it was almost a pity to beat them so mercilessly. Kakarrot related that he escaped Namek with seconds to spare and that he had no idea where he had been headed. Then he related that he had crashed and fell out when he eyed some strange beings with big pink heads, big eyes and dressed in a black outfit with a ruffled collar that nearly resembled full Saiyan armor but was slightly more ludicrous. His remark was 'At least it isn't pink.' I told him who cared about his clothes, anyway. He said the outfit was the latest thing on a planet called Yardrat, which was the place he had crashed on.

The others asked if he had learned anything new during his time in space. He showed us a move he called 'Instant Transmission.' He said he had to visualize a person miles away then he disappeared and reappeared in the same instant and he had on a pair of sunglasses. Chrome dome asked if they belonged to someone that he called 'Master Roshi.' The others remarked how some place called Kame house, was miles away but then Namek reminded them there was something more important to discuss and that was the Androids. Blue haired brainchild suggested getting rid of the one called Dr. Gero by gathering the Dragon Balls, summoning the dragon and wishing for Gero's location, then we could take the guy out. Kakarrot pointed out that the Androids had not been created so he had done nothing wrong. I pointed out that by time we had gathered the balls, it would have been too late. Genius wrapped her arms around Kakarrot and asked if he was with her, but he said that he had to side with me on that score. I inwardly applaud his good judgement and loyalty. The Namek ordered that we prepare ourselves and I barked that I didn't remember putting him in charge. Our tempers flared, genius stepped in between to cool us down. Chrome dome whispered to her that he wanted to stay on the good sides of the Namek and myself-a wise move for him and the others if I do say so myself.

I agreed to fight with them then I told Kakarrot that as soon as we took care of the Androids that it would be himself and I to settle the score between us-his beating me out of being the first Super Saiyan of our race in three millennia. I powered up and left the group.

*Entry 8: Returned to home of blue haired genius and demanded the same kind of gravity trainer as Kakarrot used to attain his SSJ level. Girl's old man had hemorrhage and nearly killed his little black kitty when I told him that I wanted 300x Earth's gravity since Kakarrot had trained at 100x. I got what I wanted-I always do. Began intense training in 150x gravity doing five thousand push-ups. As a warrior and fine tuned fighting machine, my body was used to the rigors of heavy and demanding training. The gravity trainer was located inside the same pod I took to chase down Kakarrot. Destroyed training robots while trying to dodge the energy ball they shot forth. Had machine at maximum level.
Powered up and crushed drones. Old man was not happy.

Drones back in action. Defied gravity until I was knocked out of air and a blast closing in on my head. Shot chi blast, which resulted in destruction of gravity trainer. Came out of rubble and found blue hair and shadow were staring down at me. Woman scolded me for nearly wrecking her house. Attempted to stand but collapsed. Woman ran to me, put my head on her lap and told me I needed to rest and that I was hurt. I reminded her that I was a Saiyan, that I could take it and that I had been through a lot worse. Woman got her way and had weakling to carry me into her home.

I awakened after I had a taunting vision of purple haired boy and Kakarrot flipping into SSJ level and myself chasing after them but I could not catch them. I could taste the level but it kept eluding me, laughing at me, teasing me. Making level was all that mattered to me. No one and nothing else mattered except to claim the gold-the golden flame of the Super Saiyan. I had to fulfill my destiny for my Outusan's sake. I was the one with the royal blood running through my veins. In the vision I was running down a dark tunnel then I was surrounded by light. Met Kakarrot standing in front of me, scowling, then he smirked. I went to punch him but he disappeared. Next, the purple haired boy stood in front of me and he too taunted me. Then the two jumped in front of me and burst into Super Saiyan level. I powered up and they powered up even greater. I chased after them but they were much too fast and I said that I would never be able to catch them. Then I saw myself floating in water and calling for my father who told me that from birth our blood was studied to find the highest power and strength and our leadership capabilities. The weakest were sent off to distant galaxies and the strongest were trained to be elite fighters. I was among the Super Elite warriors of my race. Vegeta Ou told me that if I trained hard that perhaps one day I would become a Super Saiyan. I returned to awareness and caught sight of her as she sat at a desk beside the bed. Her face was turned to me. Just the idea of her being there was doing strange things to my insides. Had to get over such a thing, get up and out of this bed and resume training.

I got out of bed and despite being bandaged everywhere except my legs, I returned to the capsule, hiked the level up to 400x and began doing one handed push ups. Then I flipped up into a hand- stand to continue my routine with one- finger push-ups with my full weight above my head. I had floated into the air and began to spin like a top to get a center of gravity when a screen appeared out of nowhere and her face blazed onto it. She began screaming that I was in no condition to be training and that, whether or not I wanted to admit the fact, I was made of flesh and blood. I told her to leave me alone then I lost my concentration and lost my tongue for a few moments. She then taunted me and told me to get back to bed. She suggested that I admit that she was right or that I apologize to her. 'What nothing to say? There's a surprise,' she had said. I struggled and yelled back that I did have something to say and I replied for her to leave me alone. Her face fell in surprise. What did she think I was that weak thing she called a boyfriend? I am a Saiyan! A Super Elite! I am a Super Saiyan!

*Entry 9: Took a break from training to grab some grub. Entered complex and found woman in tears. Gruffly asked why the flood as I rooted through refrigerator for a snack. She told me to butt out of her business. I shrugged. She knew that I didn't care about her or her pathetic little situations, especially her social life. I obtained a snack of the past three-day's dinners the family had ingested and sat to consume as only a Saiyan could. She screamed as if she were being beaten. On my planet, if females had carried on in such a way, some other male or myself would have put them out of their misery. I might have enjoyed one for lunch but most ended up being the concubines of the elite males. Vegeta Ou had no such women traipsing around his chamber, not with a queen like Sunrissa! Oh, now there was a rare piece of Saiyan femininity if there was one! Mommarissa eclipsed the twin suns of Vegetasei with just her being. She was the loveliest among the flowers and Vegeta Ou had chosen her to bring me into the universe. She was love and caring itself and I, when I was old enough to think on my own, would hurt any being if they looked at her backwards. She was mine and I loved the ground she walked on until I found Ceraina, but that was another life and another time. Now I had to work and train to become a Super Saiyan. If Kakarrot and that boy could do it, then so could I.

(Bulma had a very heard time believing that there had actually been a time when that little monster she had married had cared and had a loving heart. She found that she envied the first females who had claim on his heart and it didn't take a genius to figure out that the passage she had just read referred to the prince's mother. Wait the girl in the cave he had called Lissa, who was this Ceraina he had just mentioned? Maybe if she kept reading, that mystery would be revealed.)

Entry 9 (continued): Humans, ungh, what an enigma! She jumped at me and began beating me with her fists-as if she could hurt this tough as leather skin of my being. At least she's not Kakarrot's bitch, Chichi! I heard those fry pans and woks were painful. Maybe that's why my nemesis was a few planets short of a solar system. Grabbed woman by shoulders and shook her as gently as I could to calm her down. Thought of striking her but she being such a weak specimen of flesh, the blow might knock her head from her shoulders. Won't do that at this time. Closed my eyes, took her into my arms-I had seen such an action on one of those picture shows these beings are fond of. Her tears soak my bare chest. They were warm and moist. Something grabbed in my chest and my breath caught upon itself. I shuddered at the sensation and steeled myself from any feeling. Electric sparks shot through me from the peak of my hair to the ends of my toes! She felt nice as I cradled her and a long ago memory flashed into my head of a time when I was but a little chimp just walking and I had had my first training session with Vegeta Ou. He had pounded me into the floor of the training room we had at the palace. He smirked at me and said that I would get better with time, then he left. I sneaked off to see my mother and collapsed in a heap into her arms. She cradled me as I did the woman, only momma sang a lullaby as she stroked my tail and sent me into another world.
