Chapter 1: One Year Later! The Earth's Apocalypse!
- SEPTEMBER, YEAR 749 -
17 year old Vegeta slowly walked through the deserted streets of the now destroyed West City. The sun never came out anymore, and the air was thick with polluted gas. Constant fire was present, yet reminding him that the cause of this destruction was still thriving.
It has been a year since Black's reign over the Earth, and Vegeta has attempted numerous times to destroy him, yet it only ended up with him fleeing at the brink of death.
Vegeta clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in frustration, 'I'll be ready next time...'
He walked in an abandoned mall and shivered at the stench of blood and decaying bodies. He stepped over broken pieces of glass and gravel before spotting the place he needed to go. He began to fly until a massive blast impacted him, causing to fly back, crashing into a McDonalds.
Vegeta slowly rose up and cursed to himself at the sight of Goku Black in front of him, powered up. He jumped over the counter, and approached Black, getting into a fighting stance.
"Seems that I have finally found you once again, mortal scum..." Goku Black grinned manaically.
'Sh*t!' Vegeta growled as he eyed his wanting destination, before turning back to Goku Black, "You won't be lucky this time!"
"We shall see..." Goku Black instantly transformed into his Super Saiyan Rosé state, and charged at Vegeta.
Vegeta dodged Black's punch, and transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, before back kicking him into the counter of McDonalds as well. Vegeta then powered up, and flew at full speed to the store he desired. Before he was able to enter, Black appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Vegeta's shoulders, and flew down to the ground, causing Vegeta to painfully slam into the pavement and the dirt, making a buge crater form.
Vegeta reeled back, and punched Goku Black off of him, before regaining his footing and sent barrages of punches and kicks towards Goku Black. Black dodged Vegeta's attacks, before kneeing Vegeta in the gut, causing him to choke out blood.
"Enough of this nonsense!" Black yelled as he charged a Black Power Ball, and sent it to the roof of the mall, causing it to explode, revealing the dark, dreary sky. He rose above the roof, and charged up two Black Power Balls in each hand and then released them in the form of multiple blasts in the sky. Suddenly, energy blasts started to fly into ground, creating huge explosions around Vegeta.
Vegeta swiftly deflected and dodged the blasts coming from the sky, quickly located the store he needed to go, and blasted off. Goku Black observed the damage me made with glee, before the dark dust cleared out if reveal that Vegeta escaped.
"That little-!"
Vegeta powered down and sighed in relief as he walked into the store. He ignored the destroyed products on the ground, and approached a lit up glass case full of the material that he needed. After smashing the case with his bare hands, he finally spotted the perfect item, and quickly pocketed it.
Suddenly, Vegeta was grabbed by the head, and kneed through his spine, causing it to crack. He screamed as the painful sensation ran through his body. He quickly created a ki blast, and threw it in Black's face, causing an opening for him to get free.
"You escaped my grasp for too long, mortal! Prepare to accept your fate!" Goku Black screamed as he powered up and used his stolen body's signature move.
"Ka...me...ha...me...HAAAAAA!" Goku Black cried as he released the pink and black beam at Vegeta, knowing that this attack would finish him once and for all.
"This isn't over yet!" Vegeta yelled as powered up to Super Saiyan Blue and countered, "FINAL...FLAAAAASH!"
The blue and pink blasts collided together, and both users struggled and strained to overpower the other. After what seemed like hours of struggling, Vegeta's eyes widened as Black's Kamehameha began to over power his Final Flash.
"Say goodbye, mortal!" Goku Black cackled in glee as he sent one final push to overtake Vegeta. The only thing Vegeta could do was shield his body as Black's Kamehameha impacted him full force, causing him to black out.
Vegeta's eyes slowly opened as he looked around his surroundings. He was outside the abandoned mall, covered up in gravel and dirt. His arm was oozing out blood, along with the right side of his head. He slowly, yet surely got up, tried to shake the pain off, and limped away.
Vegeta's limping turned into slow flying as he kept his ki down to prevent Black from finding him again. He ended up at Capsule Corporation, where instead of the actual entrance, he moved a huge patch of grass away to reveal an underground entrance. He limped down the stairs, not forgetting to cover the ground back up.
Vegeta walked through a long hallway before coming across a door, and putting in a pin to unlock it. Vegeta limped through the halls of the lab, before coming across the first aid room. Before we was able to step in, a voice stopped him.
"Vegeta! Why are you here so late?! It's 3 am, you had me worried to death..." Vegeta slowly turned around to see Bulma, yet her expression turned into shock as she took in the damage that he received.
Vegeta ended up sitting on one of the hospital beds as Bulma hurriedly tended to his wounds, "What were you thinking!? I turn my back from you for one secend and you're out picking fights!"
Vegeta didn't flinch at the sting of alcohol on his arm, "Bulma-"
"Do you know how many people we lost because of Black?! You think it'll be any better that you throw your life away? Just for a thrill of a fight?!" Bulma scolded as she wrapped gauze around his injured arm.
Vegeta huffed through his nose, "Bulma-"
"Goku, Chi-Chi, Krillin, 18, Piccolo, Frieza, Cell, my family, your family, and we can't even wish them back-!"
"BULMA!" Vegeta screamed, silencing her ranting. His eyes widened as he saw tears releasing from her eyes and her body started shaking.
"I can't lose you too, y'know..." Bulma sniffed as she finished wrapping Vegeta's head. He got down from the bed and placed an arm on her shoulder, before embracing her into his arms.
"I didn't mean to worry you. But this was too important to ignore," Vegeta explained.
"What's too important?" Bulma questioned, looking up at him.
Vegeta cleared his throat, and reached into his pocket, pulling out an 14K white gold engagement ring featuring a 1/2 carat princess-cut center diamond in a double frame set with smaller accent diamonds along with princess-cut sapphires and shimmering round accent diamonds.
"I know this isn't the most romantic of settings, but I've been told by my father that I must fulfill this task around this age. I'm asking you to be my wife-"
"YES! YES, YOU IDIOT!" Bulma cried as she threw her arms around Vegeta, who looked quite shocked.
"I didn't even finish my speech," Vegeta muttered, but was glad that she was enthusiastic about the thought of marriage. He gently took ahold of her right hand, and slid the ring on her ring finger, fitting perfectly. He took out his version of the ring, a more simple, thicker version, and handed it to her to place on his finger. She grabbed his right hand, and slid his ring onto his ring finger, fitting well.
The two looked at each other with adoration before they both closed in for a deep kiss. Before Vegeta could slide his hands down past her back, Bulma pulled back with a huge smile, "Oh Vegeta~, this reminds me, I have great news!"
Bulma happily skipped out of the medical room, gesturing her finger behind for her fiancé to follow. Vegeta's mouth twitched at her sudden mood change, and followed her closely behind.
The duo walked into the lab, where among other inventions and gadgets were there, noticeably two giant machines were covered in a giant cloth.
"Ta-da~," Bulma sang, gesturing towards the covered objects, "I'm such a genius, Vegeta, you oughta be thanking me right now!"
"What are you talking about, Woman? What are those?" Vegeta tugged at the cloth, before his hand was slapped away by Bulma's.
"Let me reveal them!" Bulma insisted, before personally yanking the cloths away, revealing a time machine and a spaceship.
"Bulma..." Vegeta's eyes widened in shock as he approached the two objects, and touched them.
"We're lucky that Dad and I started building these before Black came around...it took me a whole year to finish these projects. I was thinking...with the spaceship, we could travel to Planet Namek and use the Dragon Balls to revive Goku-"
"Wait, why Kakarot?!" Vegeta huffed and crossed his arms.
"Cause he's the strongest one dead, Vegeta, and we need his help to defeat Black! Anyway, once we revive Goku, he can teleport us back to Earth with Instant Transmission, and then we can use the time machine to go back and-"
"And prevent Black from killing everyone, making our future back to normal!" Vegeta finished.
"Not exactly...we'll create a new timeline where Black doesn't kill anyone, but we need Beerus and Whis' help to restore our timeline back to normal, using something greater than the Dragon Balls..." Bulma explained.
"...What's greater than the Dragon Balls?" Vegeta asked.
"The Super Dragon Balls," Bulma answered.
"The what?!" Vegeta's eyes widened.
"Before this all happened, Whis mentioned to me before a while back at the possibility of Super Dragon Balls. They're much more powerful than the Namek ones, and we'll be able to restore our timeline back to normal with just one wish!" Bulma explained, "If we go back to the past and get those Super Dragon Balls, along with preventing Black from killing everyone, we should be able to make things right again!"
"That could work..." Vegeta mumbled, before turning back to Bulma, "Alright, let's try it!"
"This is going to take a while, you know," Bulma warned.
"How long?" Vegeta asked.
"It takes months to go to Namek, by the time everything's back to normal, it'll be around February or March...we'll have to catch up with school work-"
"Forget school! We haven't been there in a year! Don't tell me- you still study?!" Vegeta's eyes widened.
"Of course! I'm going to college," Bulma remarked, "And we still have senior year after all of this,"
"Tch," Vegeta crossed his arms.
Bulma then glanced at her ring, suddenly realizing she's engaged, "Vegeta, when are we getting married?"
"After all this sh*t is over with..." Vegeta shrugged, "I guess after we turn 18,"
"Can we invite everyone that we know?" Bulma yawned, causing Vegeta to finally realize that it was 4 am.
"Hell no," Vegeta picked up Bulma bridal style, and proceeded to walk towards their built bedroom down the hall in the undergound.
"Please?" Bulma pleaded, "I want it to be the best wedding ever..."
"No," Vegeta rolled his eyes as they entered their bedroom. Vegeta approached their bed and pulled the covers back, placing her comfortably on the bed. He shook his head once he saw her knocked out, snoring.
Vegeta climbed into the bed, and embraced Bulma, pulling the covers up above them. He stared at the ceiling, wondering how they were going to get through this. He looked back at Bulma and was convinced that they were going to suceeed, no matter what.
