Chapter 1: Past And Present
He couldn't believe that this was actually happening, it simply wasn't possible. The ground shifted beneath him and the sky was as dark as night, lit by constant flashes of crimson lightning. He was on his knees and he knew that he was bleeding to badly to last much longer, he was also fairly certain that his left arm was completely shattered. He didn't understand how he, Cabago, the legendary one, could be losing to this...this thing. The Saiyans pride forced him to his feet, his golden hair waving slightly in the wind from the storm that surrounded him.
He turned around slowly to see his unlikely companion, a Changeling in his final form, fighting against the creature that had brought him down so easily. The enemy was like nothing he had ever seen before, he appeared to made of some kind of incredibly strong crystal. His body was silver and translucent and had no visible eyes or mouth, yet his form resembled the form of a Saiyan. He watched as the creature, who was known of as Prism, sent a fist hard across the face of Glacier sending him hard into the ground.
Glacier didn't get back up, and the monster turned back towards Cabago. He already knew the fight was over, there was only one way he could think of to win at this point. He stood there as Prism approached him chanelling all of his energy into his chest and waiting for the perfect moment. Ten feet away, then five, then within arms reach...it was now or never. In a brilliant flash Cabago let out every bit of energy he had left in his body, then began pouring his life energy out with it. He was dead and he knew it, but he was going to take this bastard with him. For as long as he could manage he continued the attack to be sure he had killed Prism. It was finally over, all three of the warriors vanished into the energy and were never seen again.
-1,000 Years Later-
Three years had passed since Goku vanished with the Eternal Dragon, taking the Earths dragon balls with him, and it had been even longer since the Z-Fighters had all gathered together. Bulma and Trunks were finishing setting up the food for when the others arrived, Vegeta was supposed to be helping too, but he was already too busy leaning against a tree making sure everyone knew he didn't want to be there.
Bulma had scheduled the gathering a couple days before, and nobody except for her knew the real occasion. Everyone was supposed to meet in a field several miles from West City at seven o'clock PM on August seventeenth, and that was today only about ten minutes short of seven. They had just setting up the food tables when the others started arriving. The first group to show up was Gohan, Goten, Videl, and Pan. Goten was carrying Chi-Chi and Pan was carrying Hercule along with them as those two weren't able to fly on their own.
The group of Saiyans had seen each other quite often in the past few years, it was the rest of the team that they were mainly waiting on. Goten walked off with Trunks talking, and Pan followed along behind the two as Gohan walked over to Bulma. He smiled towards her when she noticed his approach, unaware that he had been followed by Videl, Chi-Chi, and Hercule. "So...what's the occasion Bulma? I know you're up to something."
Bulma smirked back at him, but didn't give him exactly the type of answer he had been hoping for. "I'll tell you that as soon as everyone else shows up."
She turned her head then as she spotted Uub landing, followed shortly by Yamcha, Krillin, and Tien. Everybody spent a while eating and having random conversations with the others, Gohan spent the entire time trying to figure out what they were there for, and Vegeta spent the entire time leaning against his tree scowling. Everyone other than him was getting along fairly well and enjoying the food, nearly an hour passed and Trunks went around lighting some large torches that they had stuck in the ground beforehand for light. Everyones peaceful conversations were suddenly and rudely interrupted by the sound of an unhappy Saiyan prince shouting "WOMAN!!!!" obviously directed at Bulma.
Everyone turned towards him as Bulma turned and shouted at him. "I told you Vegeta! If you were going to act like this then you could stay home!"
He just stood there scowling more than ever for a second, then nodded his head upwards signaling towards the sky, making a light grunting noise as he did so. Bulma looked up and gasped while everyone else looked at her, they managed to hear her very quietly say "Amazing..."
The rest of the group looked up at the sky to see shooting stars above them, hundreds of them filling the entire sky. Everyone just stared up at the sky in complete amazement for at least an entire minute, with the exception of Vegeta of course, before Bulma spoke up. "Now you see why I picked this time and this spot! I saw this coming on my telescope a week ago."
After another couple minutes of watching the show, everyone stopped looking and went back to their conversations, getting ready to leave for the night. Everyone except for Goten that is, who kept staring up at the sky at something that nobody else had noticed. Gohan was the first to notice him still staring straight up. "Hey, Goten, you alright?" He asked, noticing an odd expression on his younger brothers face.
Goten just pointed into the sky and asked in an extremely puzzled voice, "Is that normal?"
Everyone looked back up at that comment to see one shooting star where Goten was pointing that was brighter and larger than the others, and didn't seem to be fading. After another moment the ball of light turned into a ball of fire and kept getting even larger. Bulma, Gohan, and Trunks all knew instantly what was going on, but Bulma was the quickest to speak. "Wow! It looks like it's coming down!!!"
They watched the flaming ball streak across the sky for a moment before Tien shouted as he suddenly realized something. "Wait!! Isn't it heading straight for West City?!?!"
Realizing he was right Bulma panicked trying to think of what to do but Vegete, who was still perfectly calm, thought a lot faster. He turned and sent a ball of golden energy into the sky on a collision course with the meteor. He smirked, obviously satisfied with himself, and mumbled "Problem solved..."
A moment later everyone watched the sky as the ki ball hit its target and exploded in a brilliant flash of light. Vegeta was the first one to speak, and he wasn't exactly celebrating. He simply yelled "What the hell?!?!" as the flaming meteor flew out of the smoke and continued towards the city, still on the exact same course it had been on before. A moment later the ball fell out of sight, and the next sign of it was a loud blast and a bright flash from the direction of West City, it had made it to the surface.
Vegeta stood there dumbfounded, he couldn't understand how he had managed to not destroy it. Either he had missed it entirely, or his blast had been too weak, and in his mind neither was acceptable. He turned to the others and shouted in an extremely aggrivated voice "I'll deal with this! You can all just stay here!!!" He then launched into the air and was quickly out of sight.
Gohan turned quickly to the others and spoke in a much calmer voice than Vegeta had. "Come on guys, if there are injured people Vegeta may need some help."
He then took off towards the city, followed shortly by everyone else there who was capable of flying.
