Ooc: I AM HERE!! ok everyone I am still alive so I will say some things right now before I get started with this new fanfic! My buugito fanfic 'Christmas magic' is on hold for the time being because I've gotten to a point where I'm unsure where to take the story so it'll be a bit before I can get back to that one. I'm also still working on the fusion one-shot series I'm doing so it'll be alright.
Alright now that I got that out of the way onto this story! I got the idea for this western au off of a couple of comics on pixiv so if you wanna check out the artists work then go ahead and do that! I don't know what their name is in english cause its in Japanese but their icon is of a namekian and the Id number is 5306826 so hopefully that'll take you to them! so when I saw the two comics they had of this western au I wanted to write this fanfic based off it that. Gogeta would be the outlaw in this story and Vegito is the town sheriff from what I can tell and the majin gang will be a big pillar of this story to tie it all together so I do hope you guys will enjoy this! Ok you've all heard enough of my rambling onto the story shall we!!
"Thank you so much again for taking care of those fellas sheriff" the man said with a smile while he handed the sheriff the money for his work, the two other guys behind them laying on the ground with their hands tied tight behind their backs, large M signs on their foreheads. "It was my pleasure Mr. Briefs. Its my job to protect the people of this town from guys like them. Though it does seem they've been more active as of late.. " Vegito responded, tucking the money away in his vest pocket before he turned his gaze to the bound men on the ground. "You're not wrong about that. This is what, third time this week they've tried to rob me of my goods! They usually only run by here once a week. You get any leads or anything to arrest these guys yet? " Mr. Briefs asked with a curious tilt of his head. Vegito sighed deep and pulled his hat on a bit tighter to keep it from falling off before stating "sadly no. These guys are good at covering up their dirty work and I've yet to find anything solid to arrest them! I've been thinking of actually trying to break into their hideout tonight to see if I can get anything from there. They must have records or something to convict them in their hideout... "
"I wouldn't recommend going in that place sheriff. Nobody thats gone in there has ever come back out. Well except that stardust bandit running around. Nobody's yet figured out how that guy has managed to break into their hideout and come back out unscathed... " Mr. Briefs says with a shrug of his shoulders. "I know its dangerous and I'm a guy that likes to abide by the law to the best of my ability but I'm coming up dry here on things to nail them with and honestly I'm out of options. And like you just said that stardust bandit has been able to get in and out ok so it is certainly possible to go into the belly of that beast and get back out. And he's been managing to do that for the last two years! I appreciate your concern for me Mr. Briefs but this is something that I must do... " "well ok sheriff if thats what you feel you need to do then you do it but be careful. Even if that bandit can do that for two years with no problem it might not be the same for you.. " Mr. Briefs responds, bidding the sheriff farewell as Vegito went to the center of the city to the bar to have a little drink before getting ready for tonight.
"Oh hey there vegito! The usual I presume?" Mr. Son says with a small wave as the other walks into the bar and sits down at the bar counter. "Hey G. Yeah the usual sounds good right now... " vegito says, taking off his hat and setting it beside him while he waited for his drink. "You look like something is on your mind. Wanna tell me what? " Mr. Son asked the sheriff, setting the drink down in front of him. "Yeah Goku not been a good week honestly. That majin gang is getting more active as of late and I've still yet to find anything to nail them with! I've actually told Mr. Briefs a bit about my idea to break into their hideout tonight but he suggests against it.. " vegito tells the bartender before taking a bug gulp of his drink. The bartender almost drops the glass he is cleaning at the sheriff's plan before luckily catching said glass and asking "are you mad? Nobody but that bandit guy has been able to get in and out of that place!" "That's the point G! That one guy has been able to get back in and out so it is possible to do it! Besides I'm not getting a thing by playing it safe and by the rulebook so I really don't have much of a choice but to get my hands dirty to get rid of these guys!" Vegito shot back with a small frown, downing the rest of his drink before pushing it back to goku as a silent way of asking for another. "I agree with Mr. Briefs here Vegito. Those guys are trouble and shouldn't be take lightly. You better have a good plan going in there or you are NOT going to be coming back out of there... " "G... Goku I really appreciate yours and Mr. Briefs concern but if I couldn't do it I would have never been made the town sheriff in the first place! I made a promise to protect the people of this town and I am going to do that, even if it means I have to break a few laws myself... " "I really am not thrilled with this plan here Vegito but If your insisting on going through with this then please be careful. I would really miss having ya around if you were gone.. " Goku says as he pushes back the refilled glass to the sheriff. "Alright alright mom I'll be careful.. " Vegito shot back with a chuckle, taking the drink and having a few sips before setting it back down on the bar counter.
"Vegito I am being serious! Those guys won't hesitate to kill anyone that's in their way!" Goku snapped in response to vegito not seeming to take this seriously. He couldn't blame him though. That stardust bandit was undermining the majin gangs credibility quite a bit with how easily and frequently he got inside their base and back out without any problems. "Come on G calm down I'm only messing with ya! I know its dangerous and of the risks but the payoff for it will be worth it in the end so please stop getting so worked up about it. I'm going to be fine.. " The sheriff tells the bartender in an effort to sooth his now frazzled nerves while taking sips of his drink. "You keep saying that and so has everyone else that's gone in there vegito. They say they'll be fine but they never come back out and I don't want to see the same happen to you! " goku shot back with a deep frown on his face, pouring himself a drink and taking a couple swallows of it, hoping this might help calm him down a bit. "Goku I know its been hard for ya since those guys killed your gramps and I offer my condolences for your loss but if we don't do something about them now they won't stop. They'll never stop. If I have to go in there to get what I need to put an end to them then so be it. I am willing to make that sacrifice if it means that the people of this town can live safely and not in fear of those asshole punks!" Vegito responds, finishing off his drink again and pushes the glass to the side. "I know I just don't want to lose anyone else important to me. Losing my gramps to those guys was bad enough. Now I might lose ya too to them and if that were to happen it might just do me in.. " Goku says to the sheriff, quickly finishing his own drink and pulling the empty glasses over to clean them. "That's why I was hoping to ask this of ya. IF and this is a big IF here goku. IF anything were to happen to me then I was told I have to pick a new sheriff to protect the town and I want that someone to be you.. " "me? The town sheriff? Are you sure I would be qualified for that kind of job vegito? " goku asked the other with a look of shock and confusion on his face. "Yeah you have a strong sense of what is right and wrong and get along with everyone in the town. You can see the good in anything even when others can't and wouldn't hesitate to do the right thing. I can't think of anyone else more fitting for the job then you" Vegito responds with a grin on his face. It may seem to others that goku wasn't sheriff material but vegito knew the bartender well enough to know different from the general assumption.
"Well I'm very honored and flattered you would think that highly of me vegito and I greatly appreciate that you thought I was good enough for the job but who would run the bar if I became the sheriff? " "have one of your sons or both of them take over! I'm sure they'd be more then happy to do it! " Vegito suggests to the bartender, watching him straighten up the bar counter. "Well ok then. In thanks case I would be glad to take up that offer if anything were to happen to ya Vegito. Still not thrilled with this crazy scheme of yours but you seemed to have the majority of it figured out so be careful and come back in one piece ok? " "hehe I will I will Goku. Take care of yourself! " vegito responds, giving the bartender a quick hug of goodbye then left the busy bar to go finish getting ready for his plan tonight.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ooc: there we are! The end of chapter one everybody! I wanted to establish the world and the fear and worry that the town has about the majin gang gang this chapter. They're not the kind to take prisoners and and very much kill anyone in their way so not many are willing to go against them publicly. The people of the town would honestly rather deal with the stardust bandit then them because at least he isn't a murderer and he in some way gives the town a silver lining of maybe one day putting the the gang's reign over the town to an end. So anyways hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this and I will quickly get to doing chapter 2 of this story!
