Dragon Ball Rebirth

Chapter 1: News on Planet Yardrat

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z.

The Z Fighters Trunks Briefs and Vegeta were flying over to the Son residence to spar with Goku and his son Goten. It had been a year since Goku defeated Kid Buu with the Spirit Bomb and Vegeta could tell Kakarot was getting stronger. As father and son touched down, the Sons came out from lunch and greeted them. Vegeta explained their appearance and Goku agreed to spar with him as soon as they were finished with their meal. Thus the two princes joined them for a bite, much to Chi-Chi's frustration. After the fact the warriors left the humble abode and relocated to a more appropriate area for fighting.

Trunks and Goten were equally excited to see how much stronger each other had become since they last saw each other, but their enthusiasm couldn't compare to that of their fathers'. In fact, the boys could have sworn that Vegeta and Goku's competitive natures were so proud, they were even competing to see who was more fired up to spar. Vegeta could sense easily that Kakarot had improved tremendously and was confident in his own new power in spite of it. And rightfully so; Goku could sense a big change in Vegeta's strength as well and wanted to spar with him all that much more because of it.

They stopped flying when they found the perfect spot and flew down. Trunks and Goten stretched quickly beforehand then began fighting. Goku and Vegeta were more patient, taking their time and waiting for the suspense to build to it's peak. Not long after this did the spar between the great full-blooded Saiyans commence. It was quite the impressive sight. Their confidence was well placed in their own skills. Surprisingly they seemed to be on par with one another, which meant to Goku that Vegeta may have finally been able to catch up to him. Even their sons put a halt to their sparring to watch their fathers battle it out, both cheering them on.

Meanwhile King Kai was on his planet observing the fight between the Prince of all Saiyans and the Protector of Earth. Oh how his pupil had grown as a fighter, proving time and time again that he was destined to keep the peace on Earth and defend her from evil and destruction. Not to say Vegeta hadn't impressed also. The Saiyan Prince was coming up in the ranks considerably. He and Goku were even beginning to grow as a combative threat to Gods. This provoked the deity, for there was a fearsome God who would one day request to meet these skilled warriors. If he ever found out...

Suddenly his antennae twitched when he picked up a presence on another planet, an abrupt spark of new energy. He assumed it was the presence of a new life form being birthed. Thinking of this as an odd occurrence, especially when in the middle of watching the Saiyans Goku and Vegeta, he decided to take a quick moment to look into the life form.

With his arms behind him, he turned to the side and observed the disturbance. Surprisingly enough, it had come from the planet Yardrat. King Kai thought it was peculiar how he could have picked up anything this significant on the planet. The last newsworthy event the Yardrats ever had was welcoming Goku to their planet after he had crashed while escaping the destruction of Planet Namek. Still, he had looked into the strange power. Not a moment after this did the deity exclaimed to high heaven, reeling back in astonishment. Nearby, his pet monkey Bubbles made a commotion of his own. Wanting to know what had disturbed his owner. "How can that be?! There were no more survivors—" he caught his breath as a revelation came to him "—Unless…!"

The sparring session was two hours and thirteen minutes in. Trunks Briefs and Son Goten figured that was enough fighting for them and sat down to watch their fathers continue on. After some time, they wondered if Goku and Vegeta would ever stop fighting. "Haven't you two had enough?" they inquired. The men only laughed, finding their question very amusing. Of course they hadn't had enough! It had been far too long since they last fought together or saw of each other. Sure, it was only a year since they parted ways, but the boys figured for Saiyans—and on top of that, powerful Saiyan warriors—that was a long time to go without catching up on one's power status.

Goku boasted about Vegeta's ability to easily stay on par with him. The Saiyan men had taken on their Super Saiyan 2 forms by now and were able to keep up with one another. When Goku fought Vegeta in a similar situation a year prior, it was considered an unfair and illeginimate fight due to the possession of the Saiyan Prince. He and Goku were very much pleased in the reassurance that the hotheaded Saiyan was a match for Goku in his second Super Saiyan form. Now all there was left to see was whether or not Vegeta had pushed past its boundary.

Just as they were getting geared up for the main event, King Kai interrupted their dual telepathically. 'Goku, Vegeta, are you there?!' This caused them to stop and whipped their heads around to see if anyone else was there with them. "Kakarot, did you hear that?!" Vegeta asked, thinking he was hearing things. "Yeah, but who was it? There's only Goten and Trunks here with us." "Wait a minute," Vegeta began. "We both heard that but it clearly wasn't coming from anyone else here. That must mean…" Goku grinned and chuckled over how he couldn't have jumped to the conclusion that it was King Kai who had contacted them faster. "Oh hey, King Kai! Whatcha been up to?"

The deity was in a sweat over the news he had received. "That isn't important right now, Goku! I have to tell you both some urgent news!" The two warriors furrowed their brows. "Can it wait, King Kai?" Goku pleaded. "Vegeta and I are in the middle of a fight and I sort of want to see his current full potential—" King Kai quickly interrupted him. He was in way too much of a rush to listen to his student's requests. 'Forget about your silly fight, Goku! This is serious!'Vegeta scowled, crossing his arms over his chest. "Just shut up and listen to him already, Kakarot. If he claims whatever news he has for us is urgent, I'm sure he means it." The naïve Saiyan titter awkwardly. "Sorry, King Kai... You were saying?"

"Very well," he started. "I was watching the two of you fighting when I picked up a energy signature on Planet Yardrat." "Planet Yardrat...?" Goku repeated. "What sort of energy signature?" Vegeta cut in. "I asked myself the same question. So I looked into it and, well... it appears there is a Saiyan newborn on the planet..." The men gasped in shock, shouting, "A Saiyan newborn?!" Trunks sat up when he heard his and Goten's father scream. "What are they yelling about?" He asked his friend, to which he replied, "Heck if I know. Are they done yet?"

"But King Kai, that's impossible! How come this is just coming up?!" Goku asked anxiously. "The newborn's pod only arrived on Yardrat an hour or so ago." "Can you tell us whether the newborn is full-blooded?" Vegeta asked. "The baby is still in its pod, but I believe it could likely be one hundred percent Saiyan." A big happy grin overcame Goku's face at the thought of getting to possibly see another Saiyan. "That's incredible, Vegeta! That means there could be more Saiyans out there!" "And explain to me how such a reality would be praiseworthy!" the prince shouted at him. Goku's smiled faded into his friend's flared rage. "You forget, Kakarot, that countless of our people were bloodthirsty murderers!" "Oh right, my bad... Well we'll have to worry about that later when we have the chance. Right now, we must—"

Trunks and Goten called over to them once again, wishing to know of what their fathers were conversing about and whether or not they could finally go play at Trunks's house. Goku, being the simpleminded man he was, only grinned nervously and said that his conversation with Vegeta was nothing of importance so they would lose interest. His efforts did not carry much weight so Vegeta then excused them to go play to which they replied with a cheery "thanks" and were off. "Alright, enough chitchat," Vegeta lent a hand atop of Goku's shoulder. "Take us to Planet Yardrat." Goku smirked before pressing his index and middle fingers to his forehead. Soon after, they vanished out of sight.
