Right at the end of DBZ . . . .


Like a punch in the gut the fighters stummbled at the huge power. It was ten times larger the even Cell!!
"Wh-what's that?" Trunks asked as he felt the power grow nearer. All heads faced the sky as a streek of energy flashed across the sky. It at first looked like a comet but the energy trail was blue, not red. As they looked closer they saw it was a type of craft shaped like a cone.
"I knew it. I knew it." Krillen said. "Everytime we get together something like this happens."
"Not EVERY time, Krillen." Chichi said. "Well maybe."
"Lets go!" Pan shouted from her grandfathers wide shoulders. Gohan promptly reached up and lifted her down.
"Oh no." he said. "You are going to stay here with your mother."
Pan frowned and crossed her arms stubbornly. Goku looked over at the others.
"Who's in?"
"I am." Trunks said enthusiasticly.
"Me too." Goten said.
Vegeta shrugged. "Might as well."
"I better go too." Gohan said. Videl crossed her arms looking like a bigger version of Pan, but said nothing.
"I thinks I'll sit this one out." Krillen said backing away as if afraid they'd grab him.
"I will too." Yamcha said. "But if you need my help just fly here and tell me."
"I will wait also." Tien said. Chotzu nodded. "Tell us what's up."
"Okey." Goku said. "Let's go."
"Yes!" Trunks hissed as he flew into the air. Goten jumped up after him followed by Gohan and Vegeta.
"Come back this time!" Bulma yelled.
Goku smiled and took off.
The five sayjins and half-sayjins flew over the dusty gravel and mountianous land, keeping their eyes open for any sign of the odd comet. After fifteen minutes of flying, Goten pointed ahead.
"Look!"
The cone shaped ship was loosing altitude and was speeding to the earth.
"It's gonna crash!" Gohan yelled.
They all swooped down and landed ten yards from where the ship looked like it would land. The speeding cone began to spin in a clockwise direction rapidly. It came down point first and the blue energy trail dissappeared. It rammed into the ground with a loud BOOM and cloud of dust kicked up. They sheiled their eyes in case any rocks came towards them, but none did. The all lowered their arms and stared.
The ship was smaller then they all had thought. It was no bigger then a large cooler and could only hold something no bigger then a dog. Unlike the sayjin space pods, this ship cause no crater or even made nuch of a dent in the surface. The point had drilled into the earth leaving an inch of the top poking out. The flat end was also tiny, only a foot around, barely big enough for a child to squeeze through.
They slowly walked towards the ship- if that is what it was- and looked at it.
"Dad," Toten asked. "what is it?"
"I don't know. Vegeta," he said turning to him. "you've been around the universe. Does this look familiar?"
Suddenly an odd splashing sound came from with in the ship and a hatch opened from the top. Before they could react a large blob of blackish purple came out and jumped in the air twenty feet. As it came back down to the ground it took on shape.
"Greetings." it said in a gravely voice that made them want to rip off their ears. The black blob had formed into a eight foot, muscular, creature with red eyes and four inch long talons. Its skin was still blue/black and bared its white broken teeth in an insane smile.
"Katachi!" Vegeta said in suprise.
Trunks turned to his father. "You know this, um, man?"
The being called Kaktachi walked up and grabed Vegeta in a one armed bear hug. "Little ape. Haven't seen you in decades. Heard you went soft and settled down."
Vegeta pulled away. "I'm as soft as a Biy`n rock bed. I heard YOU were dead."
Kakatchi shrugged. "Roumers. But I have worse news."
"Hold it, hold it, hold it." Gohan said walking up waving his hands. "Are you two friends? Or are you old enemies or-"
"We are allies." Vegeta said. The enournous alien nodded. "We go back to my days fighting for Freiza."
"That's what I'm here to talk about." Kakatchi said. He looked over at the others. He looked like he didn't want to talk in front of them.
"They are okey." Vegeta said. "That is Kakarot, his son Goten." He moved over and patted Trunks on the back. "This is my son. Trunks."
Kakatchi slapped Trunks in the shoulder and laughed. "I got a kid myself his age. Pretty girl."
"So dad," Trunks said quickly. He was afraid this thing would try to set him up. "Should we go tell the others?"
"This concerns no one but Vegeta." Kakatchi shouted. He took a threatening step towards Trunks.
Vegeta walked up inbetween them. "If it concerns me and this planet then it concerns them.
Kakatchi glared Vegeta in the eye and then turned and started back to his ship. "You have gone soft." he said. "I thought you could help."
Vegeta reached out and grabed Kakatchis fore arm. "Tell me."
The alien sighed. "The Aquarians and Monogatari are at war."
Shock spread across Vegetas face and he let go. "H-how? The Aquarians and Monogatari are brother planets. They are the best of friends. How did this happen?"
Kakatchi looked over at the others. "I will only tell the tale once. If there is anyone else who should know then let's go to them."
Vegeta nodded. "Kakarot, we should go back to Capsule corp. amd let Kakatchi tell his story there and get some rest."
Goku nodded. "But shouldn't we try to make him look less um,"
"Weird." Goten said.
Kakatchi laughed and seemed to melt on the spot. The black blob gurggled into the shape of a handsom teen around Goten and Trunks age. He wore an oversized pair of blue jeans and dark blue sweatshirt. His hair strill was a blackish blue and he smiled at then.
"Shall we?"
"How'd he do that?" Trunks asked astonished.
"He is a Kakatchizukuru. King in fact." Vegeta said. "They can take any form."

As they landed on the grounds of Capsule Corp. Bulma came rushing out and instantly hugged Vegeta and pulled his head down to her cheast.
"I was so worried!" she cried. "Where were you? What happened?"
Vegeta let out a muffled answer as Krillen, Chichi, Marron, 18, Tien, Master Roshi, OOlong, Puar, Umigame, Chotzu, Yamcha and Bra all came out.
"We'll talk inside." Kakatchi said walking inside without asking.
Bulma released Vegeta and looked at the boy who just went into the house.
"Let's go in." Vegeta said rubbing his nose that was crushed in Bulmas bosom.
As they went in Marron turned to Trunks. "Who's the babe?"
Trunks stole a peek at Goten, who also heard, and did his best not to laugh. "You'll see."
The z senshi all sat down and Kakatchi sat on the couch staring at the floor wearily.
"Go on and take on your real form Kakatchi." Vegeta said. "It's okey."
Kakatchi turned into the black goo again and formed into the eight foot blackish blue skinned alein. Bulma and Chichi, along with ahlf the room jumped back.
"What is that thing?" Bulma demanded.
"He is a friend." Vegeta sneered. "And he needs help. What is it Kaktchi?" None of them had ever heard Vegeta talk so nice to anyone before. Except Bra. "You said that the Aquarians and Monogatari were at war."
"Yes." he said. "See it all started when the fall of the Changlings happened." He saw their blank expresions and explained. "When King Cold and his children were all killed. Well with no one to rule in their place, species began reclaiming their homes. Some even took more then their share. Remember?"
Vegeta nodded. "When I first set out to look for Kakarot after we found out he surrvived Nameks blast."
"That's where you were?" Bulma said. "I never knew that."
Vegeta ignored her. "I thought you had it under controll?"
"I thought so too." Kakatchi said. "But my armies were nearly wipped out. The King of Monogatari aided me along with Aquarians. You know how they were. What ever one does the other does too. Well after we sorted it out and gave the different species and aleins their own planets to start over on, we were at peace. But there were still many empty planets. War broke loose over who got what and why. More were killed in that war." He looked up at Vegeta. "You are a prince and have made many allies, where others cower at your name still. We need you. No one has ever been a better general of arms then you."
Vegeta paused and looked around at his friends and family. "How long."
"Months. Most likely years."
Vegeta sent a glance at his young daughter and wife. "I'll do it."
"Yeah." Trunks said. "We'll help too."
"Sure." Goku said.
"NO!" Vegeta said horsely. "This is my battle. You will only be in the way."
"If they can help in any way," Chichi said. "then let them."
"You do not understand." Vegeta barked at them. "I have been in the front lines and watched people lose their friends and family in a blink of an eyes. Sure you all are strong but there are fighters as strong as you are. Whole armies! I can not let you come and see that. This is a war. Not a battle that you hope to win in flashy moves. They will fight hundred to one to win. I will go alone."
"But-" Goku started but Vegeta sent a warning glance to him.
"Alone." he said.

"Daddy!" Bra sat up in bed crying her eyes out. She had a terrible dream. A large shadow had taken her daddy and never gave him back. He cried out for help but she was so small she couldn't help.
The hall light flashed on and in a second from waking up, Vegta was at her side and holding her.
"Shhh," he said rubbing her back. "What is it? I'm right here."
"Don't go." she cried clinging to his shirt front. "I had a dream that you were gone and never came back. I don't want you to ~hic~ leave."
Vegeta lifted her up so she could rest her head on his shoulder. "Baby, baby, Princess. I will be back. How can I make you understand?" She wipped her tears and he handed her a tissue from her bedside table. "Kakatchi is a good friend. And he has a family like me. I want to help him out so he can hold his little kid like I can."
"He ~hic~ has a kid like me?" she asked.
Vegeta smiled and nodded. "A little younger. A girl named Bono. He loves he alot and I want to make sure he can see her again." He reached up around his neck and pulled off a necklace. It was a dark green circle with a red stone in the center. Little blue triangles decorated around the gem. He held it up. "This was given to my father before I went on a long journey. He said it would give me strength untill I see him again." Vegeta lowered it around her neck. She gasped and looked up at him.
"Daddy, this is yours." she said. "You said it means your a sayjin prince."
Vegeta smiled and blinked a few times. "I know. Now it is yours while I am gone. Can you keep it for me?"
"Yes daddy." Bra said feeling very proud. "I will protect it untill you come back."
Vegeta bent down and hugged her fearcly to him. He held her long into the night untill she fell asleep. In the morning he would leave and not return for many years, but she wouldn't forget. Neither of them will.
