Dragon Ball Z X
Prologue:(A brief playback)
The story starts on a planet called new planet Vegeta. A strange guy named Paragus; one of the few surviving Saiyans invited Vegeta to rule the new Planet Vegeta. Vegeta initially refuses until Paragus appeals to Vegeta's ego by asking him to kill the Legendary Super Saiyan that has completely destroyed the South Galaxy. In reality he wanted his son Broly (A.k.a: The legendary Super Saiyan) to kill Vegeta for something his father King Vegeta did to them a long time ago on the original Planet Vegeta. Goku, Gohan, and Future Trunks came to the rescue but at a price. Broly proved almost impossible to beat and not to mention that Paragus had planed it to where a comet the size of the sun was going to crash into the planet they were on! After a long trying battle Goku was finally able to defeat Broly with the help of his friends. Our story begins shortly after that battle; when the group is trying to figure out how they are going to get off the planet that is now in ruins before the comet collides with it!
Chapter 1:
Vegeta's P.O.V:
"Vegeta!!!" I heard someone say, I couldn't tell who because I was too busy looking at the body that was laid out no more than 2ft away from where we stood. Broly; the legendary Super Saiyan, the man who pushed us beyond our limits and still required more to defeat. Looking at the body, I could tell he wasn't dead! Sedated maybe….but not dead! I turned my head to see Kakarot's relieved face, like Broly couldn't get up at any second and beat the shit out of him…Ha! That clown is the worst excuse of a Saiyan I've EVER seen! Then again this made me wonder…why I wasn't able to defeat Broly and he was?! If I thought about it I'd notice that everything I did he always surpassed me in it! …..What I wouldn't give to surpass him in something!
"Vegeta!!" Someone else cried, I once again ignored them and tried to think about the situation my ignorance had gotten us in. Paragus that fool; had tricked me into thinking I could create a replica of the planet my father and grandfathers had ruled. I guess my pride clouded my common sense for that moment but that wasn't what I was worried about right then. This blasted planet was set to collide with a huge meteor any second, every ship had already fled and the last of the Saiyan race (which consist of me, Kakarot, His son Gohan, and the future image of my own son) where trapped on this desolate planet awaiting our destruction.
"Father!" My son called in a soothing voice; I looked up and saw that everyone was looking at me.
"What!!!??" I yelled, it felt almost intolerable to be looked at by such low rank Saiyans.
"Calm down Vegeta!" Kakarot sighed as I sneer and look away.
"I was just saying that we're going to go look for survivors!" he said dedicatedly
"WHAT!!??" I yelled in disbelief; only Kakarot would think of something so foolish. "This planet's about to be crushed and you suggest we spend what could possibly be our last minutes of life searching for survivors!? Now exactly what kind of sense does that make?!" I spat venomously; I could tell that the tone of my voice sent shivers down Gohan's spine, but why should I care? I'm the prince of all Saiyans! He should be afraid!
"Father, relax! It's going to be really quick okay?" Trunks asked pleadingly; like I was going to forbid him to go. I had to admit that I thought about it…but I didn't want to waste more time than needed.
"Yeah Vegeta! We'll be back in like 5 minutes promise!!! And then I'll use instant transmission to get us out of here!" Kakarot laughed happily
"Yeah! Dad can save us!!!" Gohan laughed along with Kakarot; making me clutch my fist in anger, why did they have to make it seem like Kakarot was the only one who could save us? I swore both of them were about 2 seconds away from a Gallic gun to the face; they were trying my patents!
"Ha-ha. Instant transmission, it's the only way to travel!" They both sang like it was some kind of advertisement. That was it, I couldn't take any more of their nonsense so I unleashed my anger in a fury of energy blast all aimed at the spot where they were standing. I heard each blast explode like a hand grenade but I couldn't bring myself to stop until I was sure that everything and anything that still remained in that spot was over killed!
Once I'd finally stop firing I looked and saw that sadly neither one of those idiots had been killed. Gohan was standing by Trunks while Kakarot was in the air with that stupid grin he always wore when he knows he's on my last nerve.
"Tisk, Tisk, Tisk Vegeta! You really need to work on that temper of your now don't you?" Kakarot said in a mocking voice
"Don't mock me clown!!" I yelled as he laughed and then flew away with Gohan right behind him.
"Don't worry Father, well be right back." Trunks said slowly while backing away until finally he too flew away.
Then I was alone. It both relieved me as well as irritated me. How dare they go off and leave me?! It was so unlike Kakarot to not ask me to aid them in their search! He'd usually ask in the hopeless attempt to form some kind of 'Friendship' between us. Of course I would have said no, but the part that bothered me was that he didn't give me the option!
"How dare those fools leave me here..." I yelled hurling an energy blast with what felt like the last on my energy; I looked down at my feet and saw Broly lying there.
"…With this thing!" I added under my breath
Then as if he had heard me his nose wrinkled and his power level gave a short flicker in protest. Chills ran threw me as the thought of that monster awaking and me having to fight round two alone flashed through my mind. Apprehension provoked my feet into walking away; and before I knew it I had wondered miles away from where the beast lay.
I kept my self occupied by letting my mind wonder; trivial things at first and then after a few more miles more essential things such as the next super Saiyan level I was determined to achieve. Unfortunately before long my wondering came to an end close to a filthy shallow stream. From what I could see the water was gray; filled to the brim with dirt and the planets debris. The stream also gave a sure sign of how close the comet actually was by the steam that came off of the water. I decided to sit on a rock a good deal away from the boiling waters; by no means did I want to be stewed while I was regaining my power. The mist from the waters made the environment around me seem calming, and I was tempted to an extent to come to ease and sleep. The idea sounded appealing enough, but as soon as I closed my eyes a shrill cry forced me to open them again. The cry was muffled because of the distance but it seemed to be coming from somewhere upstream. I sat up slowly and for reasons even I don't understand I made my way up stream; hovering gently above the scorching waters.
A few miles upstream I came upon a point where the stream forked left and at the bank in the corner of the river was the cause of all the fuss. A child; about the same age the present image of Trunks was lying in a tattered aged blanket crying its blasted lungs out. I flinched a little as I came closer and the sound increased; at that point I was more than certain this infant was Saiyan. From the quality of the blanket it was in; it appeared to be born in the lower class; probably the same class as Kakarot. Considering this I scoffed at it and began to turn away when I sense a tremendously high power level extremely close to where I was. I froze; swallowing hard as I figured out that it was the infant's power level I was sensing!
"Y…yo….you…" I stutter gaping at the calm thing that was staring back at me. It's eyes; they were way too focused to be that of an infant, and I instantly wanted to strike myself for underestimating it because of its low rank. Who and where were this child's parents?
'No proper Saiyan would leave a child with this much potential lying around on a planet that was set for destruction at any second!' I thought but then, there's Saiyans like Kakarot who I knew wouldn't even begin to know how to tap into the potential this child held.
'Only Saiyans as elite as I would know how to raise a child such as this!' as soon as that thought crossed my mind I couldn't bring myself to look past it. 'Why shouldn't I raise this infant? Obviously its parents were nowhere in sight, and not to mention this could be my one and only chance to raise a Saiyan worthy of royal blood!......well, there was Trunks…but this way he'd have someone his age to spar with.'
Before I knew it I was on one of my rants and there was no force in the galaxy that could have changed my mind then. Floating lower I picked up the bundle; holding it and examining it. A little thing; chestnut brown hair, huge almond colored eyes, and heart shaped face. Around its neck was a silver locket; Krystal was engraved in italicized words across the heart.
"Krystal hmn…..fine. That's what I'll call you then." I said to it as comfortably as I could; it felt awkward trying to be kind to it…..I mean her. At the moment I still couldn't grasp the fact that a child with such potential was a girl! I sighed and began to fly in the direction Kakarot was in; I was more than ready to get the hell off this planet and I knew damn well that more than 5 minutes had passed since they left. It took me no more than a few seconds to find Kakarot; his power level was so easy to find. He and the others were at the spot where they had left me. As I came down I was happy to see that instead of his usual dim-witted grin, he had the serious expression he always wore when something upset him.
"Vegeta…." He said narrowing his eyes at the bundle in my arms
I intentionally ignored him as I walked a slight distance away from where he stood.
"Vegeta!!!" He said again in a more challenging voice. My power level sparked at the tone of his voice.
"What?" I answered reluctantly; he sighed out of frustration trying to keep his self calm.
"What are you up to Vegeta?" He said slowly tilting his head towards what was in my arms which caused me to twitch an eyebrow in irritation.
"What are you talking about?!" I said between clenched teeth
"Vegeta, you know exactly what I'm talking about! That thing you're carrying…" He began
"You said you're self to look for survivors….." I yelled back; power level starting to rise rapidly
"This is different!!!" He yelled as his own energy began to rise
"It's a survivor!" I screamed
"That things power level is too close to his!!!!" He said walking towards me. At this I withdrew my rage.
"Oh, spare me Kakarot. This "Thing" is an innocent child." I said with a smirk as he peeked at the infant and sighed with relief.
"Oh, what a relief! For a second there I thought it was something to worry about." Kakarot laughed lightly. I rolled my eyes as that idiotic grin returned to his face.
"And man what a power level! Awww…and it's cute too! Vegeta, what's its name?" He asked poking her like the idiot I knew he was.
"…Krystal… now can we leave this place already?!" I shouted turning away
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot….come on guys let boogie!" He said motioning for everyone to come near. "Okay now hold on tight!" He said after we came close enough. I place my hand on his shoulder as did Trunks and Gohan held on to his arm. Kakarot placed two fingers to his forehead and then made a face that signified him concentrating; before I knew it we were back at the place where Paragus had first appeared. Everyone who was present previously was standing there waiting as if they never left that spot.
I took my hand off of Kakarot's shoulder and began to walk away
"So what are we going to do about Krystal?" He asked making me stop walking.
"We're not going to do anything!" I said sharply
"Vegeta you're not thinking about keeping her are you?" He said quickly as he ran up to face me.
"Why shouldn't I?" I said closing my eyes
"Because….well, you're not really a kid friendly person Vegeta." He said crossing his arms and nodding his head in agreement. "Why do you want to keep her anyway?"
"That's none of your business, fool!" Was all I said; I didn't feel like explaining myself to that clown. I walked over to where Bulma was standing with Trunks; I took him from her and gave her Krystal.
"We're raising her!" I said as I walked a few steps away "Buy her clothes!"
"What kind of clothes?" She asked softly
"Whatever type of clothes little girls wear!" I said; looking over my shoulder I saw her eye the infant for a second and then begin to embrace her tightly. Thankfully she didn't ask questions; I liked it better that way. It was like she already understood. There were a number of reasons for me wanting to raise this child; but mainly I wanted to give her a better life. I wanted to make sure she and Trunks both grew up like full blooded Saiyans, to make fighting their passion and not a hobby like Kakarot raised his son to believe. I looked down at Trunks who was now asleep in my arms. Sometimes I wished Planet Vegeta was still there; a tiny sphere in the sky. Something to look up at and give a constant reminder on what should be done. With the planet still there, Father would give his support on how I live my life and how these kids are raised; it would be easier that way….so much easier.
