It was early dawn when Goten started to wake up. The time the adult saiyan spent up in the night confirmed his suspension. His ki was beginning to fluctuate and pool in his lower stomach. When his tail came back, the tall warrior went into heat, and the mating with the prince had left him with cub.
That's right, the strongest in the universe was a carrier. Carriers knew within twenty four hours if they were expecting due to the uniqueness of saiyan biology. Any warrior needed to know as soon as possible so they wouldn't risk their health or the health of their unborn cub.
It was one of the reasons Goku was so strong was that he never found an alpha powerful enough that he felt could protect him if he got pregnant. The only one that the young saiyan could ever consent to submit to was Vegeta.
Vegeta… he was going to be livid when he found out, and it wouldn't take him long to find out. With how angry he was after the taller man's heat, the prince might actually kill the younger saiyan after the child was born, and the spiky haired man refused to give up his child without a fight. There was only one thing Goku could think of to do, and it was something that had been in the back of his mind ever since he started to teach Goten.
He was going to wish his home planet back, and hope Shenron could revive some of his race when he did. He was tired of being alone in a sea of humans with only the arrogant prince and their halfbreed children. Not that there was anything wrong with the children, but he wanted to be among his own kind.
The full blooded saiyan turned tried eyes down to his son, and met with equally tired eyes. Goku gave his son a weak smile as the boy looked around in confusion. It took a few minutes for the events of yesterday to catch up to the young cub, and once they did, a cloud of depression settled over the two spiky haired males.
"Daddy?" Watery black eyes looked up at his father. He took a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts. "Can we not go back home? I don't want to go back. I hate it there. She yells at me all the time, and she hits me when I don't finish my work. Gohan didn't believe me when I told him…" The half saiyan child looked so miserable that it broke his father's heart, and cemented his decision to leave the planet. The man gathered his cub close to his heart in a hug.
"Don't worry, son. We are NEVER going back there again. We are going to bring our home back." Goku's firm words made the child go limp with relief. He nodded with his father's words. The full blood tilted his miniature carbon copy's face to look him in the eye. "Come on, let's go."
He purred to his cub, and got a nuzzle along the side of his cheek in return. The sound helped to keep from either one of the saiyans from loosing control of their tears. Goten's tiny tail wrapped around his father's arm as he buried his face in the shelter of Goku's shoulder.
After the two had a quick breakfast, Goku and Goten set out with the Dragon Radar.
It took some time to gather all seven of the amber colored orbs and find a place far away from the rest of Earth's special forces. Goku knew as soon as the dragon was summoned, anyone who could feel ki would be on their way. He only hoped he could have his wishes granted before they arrived.
Tall rock spires dotted the barren landscape. The desert was completely void of life save for the two males staring down on the ground. The seven balls glowed where they were resting, waiting for the words that would call the dragon to be spoken. With Goten held tight in one of his arms, the saiyan took a deep breath and held his free hand over the balls.
"Eternal Dragon! By your name I summon you forth…Shenron!" The sky darkened as the golden glow of the mystical orbs steadily grew brighter and brighter until a light shot into the sky. It twisted and snaked around until it faded to reveal a large green dragon with bright red eyes. The large head of the creature lowered until close enough to hear the words of his summoner.
"YOU THAT HAVE SUMMONED ME, I SHALL GRANT YOU THREE WISHES." The deep, booming voice was felt all the way down to the two saiyans' bones. Goku felt the rising energies of his friends flaring up in response to the appearance of the dragon. He needed to hurry if he wanted to get away from Vegeta before he found them.
"Shenron, for my first two wishes, I want the planet Vegetasei and any saiyans that did not share the same views as Frieza back into existence." The dragon didn't respond for a few minutes. He lowered his head further and took a long look at the full blooded saiyan.
Goku never looked away from those large red eyes despite how nervous he was getting with how close the others were getting. When he registered how close the saiyan prince was, the spiky haired male's expression turned pleading. Shenron let out a deep breath that ruffled hair and clothes.
"AS YOU KNOW, I CANNOT REVIVE A SOUL THAT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR ONE FULL YEAR." The father and son's hopeful faces fell, and Shenron's expression seemed to soften as he looked at the two. "HOWEVER, FOR ALL THE SELFLESS ACTIONS YOU HAVE DONE FOR THIS WORLD AND THE UNIVERSE I CAN MAKE AN ALLOWANCE FOR THESE REQUESTS.
"I SHALL GRANT YOU THESE WISHES, BUT NOT ALL SAIYANS WILL BE REVIVED. I HAVE THE POWER ONLY TO BRING BACK A FEW HUNDRED." Goku relaxed and nodded in agreement with the large dragon. Red eyes glowed for a few minutes before dimming back. "WHAT IS YOUR LAST WISH, YOUNG ONE?"
Goten looked over his father's shoulder and let out a terrified yelp when he felt a ki full of anger almost on top of them. He shrank down to hide from the threat that was coming. Goku looked behind him with wide eyes as Vegeta came into view. Fear lanced up his spine and, he pulled his cub closer to his chest as he shouted to the dragon.
"I wish Goten and I were on Vegetasei right now!" The warrior squeezed his eyes shut as he curled around his son and the small bit of ki that was growing in his belly. The world suddenly vanished around Goku and Goten. The full blooded held tight to his son with his arms and tail when the sudden dizzying rush of reappearing on a planet washed over them.
When Goku opened his eyes, he took in his new surroundings. The sky was a cross between burnt orange and dark red. The clouds a slight gray that were scattered here and there with two suns in the sky. Other than the sky, everything else looked very close to Earth. The scenery helped both saiyans relax from the danger they almost were in.
Goku looked up at the sky, and hoped that Vegeta didn't hear his last wish. After the prince broke his heart, he wanted to get away from him. He felt a bit bad for leaving Gohan behind, but that boy was starting his life with Videl. He'll be okay, the older saiyan rationalized.
Goten wiggled a bit in his father's arms. The man let out a slight chuckle as he allowed his son to float out of his arms. The childlike wonder on the demi's face made the older saiyan smile. Two black tails softly swished in contentment as they explored the plains they had appeared in from the air.
The cub laughed as he twirled around his father, but he never went farther then an arm's length. Goku kept an eye on his son as they traveled to a city he spotted once he as ascended in the air. As they got closer to the edge of the metropolis, the details of the buildings came into focus.
There were buildings that looked like the ones on earth, but every here and there, there were ones that looked like white rockets with large blue windows. All and all, the city itself wasn't that impressive. However, the castle that loomed behind it drew attention. It sprawled out in the very center of the city, it was massive.
From a distance, it looked like a mountain, but upon closer inspection, the details of the different towers came into view. The material the castle was constructed of looked like jasper, and it shined under the duel suns. The large structure almost looked like flames with the different heights of the towers and spires.
Goku was so taken with the scenery, that he didn't notice several approaching ki signatures.
Goten was looking at one of the buildings when a rough hand grabbed the back of his gi. He let out a yell as he was pull down to the eye level of a man with black and yellow saiyan armor. He had a shaggy looking head full of hair that almost covered the blue screen of his scouter. A grim face with a scar over his right eye growled at the young cub.
"I've never seen you before. What are you doing here?" The suddenness of being grabbed and the unknown saiyan in front of him startled the boy so much that he let out a high pitched whine as he curled into himself. His black tail came up between his legs to keep from being grabbed.
A sudden beeping prevented the saiyan warrior from asking anything else, and the numbers on the display caused a look of disbelief to appear in his face. It was his only warning before a booted foot kicked him on the side of the head. Goten was immediately released, and he rushed over to his father that was snarling at the grim faced man and his four fellow warriors.
The enraged father pushed his cub behind him as he faced the threat to his child. His tail lashed above the boy's head from where he was hiding behind one of the full blooded saiyan's leg. Goku bared his elongated fangs at the five men as he shifted into a defensive stance. His instincts were closer to the surface now that he was carrying.
The man that had grabbed the boy looked at the tall saiyan in shock before he narrowed his eyes. He took a deep breath to scent the snarling saiyan. A subtle sweet smell wafted in the breeze made him growl with desire before he caught himself. Sharp black eyes looked at the beta again, and he swallowed hard when he couldn't detect the scent of another dominant on him.
Any submissive that had been bred was a very appealing target for any alpha without a mate, especially one as powerful as Goku. The stronger the beta, the more irresistible the scent. The shaggy haired saiyan sneezed as a breeze brought more of that delicious smell, and he suppressed his urge to pounce on the slightly smaller man, and tried to think how to proceed.
He pushed the button on his scouter and watched as it gave him three different power level numbers. He slowly made a discreet movement with his tail tip, and the rest of his men backed away. He touched the scouter again to open a communication link.
"Sir, we have a something here you need to see." Another snarl covered the response the leader received, and the saiyan froze in the most nonthreatening position he could. Both full blooded saiyans stared at each other as one waited for his commanding officer, and the other for any move towards his cub.
Goku's onyx eyes flickered from the shaggy haired man in front of him and the other four standing yards away. With the lack of movement, the on edge warrior's instincts allowed for more rational thinking. The spiky haired man's teeth were covered by his lip. He straightened his stance as he curled his tail around his son's back.
Goten fisted his hands in orange gi pants as he looked around his father's leg to watch the stand off. His tail wrapped around the larger one touching his back. Other then Vegeta and his father, he had never seen another full saiyan before. The armor made the warriors look more intimidating, but now that he had calmed a bit, the child could tell all of the other saiyans save for Goku had lower ki levels then he did.
The demi-saiyan relaxed, and that made the spiky haired man relax a bit more. A low pitched rumble came from deep in Goku's chest. The sound made the cub look up and rub his cheek against the leg he was holding onto. With the protective carrier calming down, the first saiyan cleared his throat.
"I apologize, beta. I was unaware you and your cub were in the area." Goku tilted his head in acknowledgement before the other continued. "We have been sent by our king to investigate the planet after…whatever happened." The armored man scratched at the back of his neck when he trailed off, and his tail twitched from where it was wrapped around his waist.
"I believe I am responsible for that." Goku admitted to the saiyan warrior. His words made the other full bloods look at him in shock. "I will explain to the king when I see him. I assume that is where you want to take us, right?" A dumbfounded nod was his response, and the spiky haired male bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing.
The tension in the air suddenly skyrocketed when the wind shifted again. A tall, bald headed saiyan with brown and black armor stiffened before launching himself at the young beta. Goku was almost taken by surprise, but he managed to kick his attacker away. The shaggy haired leader was about to tackle the bald male, but he got distracted with one of the others behind him.
The tall dominate snarled in anger as he surged to his feet. The orange clad saiyan looked over at the other saiyans to see his scent driving them all over the edge, and he cursed under his breath when he realized that he would have to fight his way out of this. He threw his hands up to conjure an orb of ki, but it sputtered out before it had a chance to form.
Goten, seeing his father's predicament, stepped forward with a snarl and shot the bald saiyan with a ki shot of his own. The energy forced the alpha into a building, knocking him out. The boy turned on the rest of the alphas that stared hungrily at Goku, the cub narrowed his eyes before firing again.
This blast hit saiyan with a short mohawk, but the energy didn't knock him out. The dominant fired a blast back that Goku deflected before it could hit his son. This distraction allowed one of the others to circle around behind both spiky haired males. A sudden weight knocked Goku off his feet to the ground. He let out a snarl as he tried to fling his attacker off.
The beta's ki was hovering close to zero, so he didn't have the strength to free himself. The demi-saiyan leapt onto the alpha's back to pull him off his father. The rest of the alphas started to close in while Goten and Goku wrestled with an over zealous dominant.
The cub was finally knocked to the side, and the beta was pinned underneath the saiyan warrior. Terror began to claw at the submissive as he realized that there was no way he could overpower the male in top of him, but he refused to let his fear show. More snarls and growls grew closer as the rest of the dominants came to help pin the spiky haired saiyan in place.
Goku snapped his fangs at the alpha that was straddling his waist, but he ignored the threat as he pulled at the orange gi that hid his prize. A whimper came from the pinned man when part of his shirt was ripped off, and a hand rested over his lower belly. Onyx eyes widened, and the beta twisted to get away from the touch.
Tears and whines went unnoticed as the male began to gather ki in his hand over the spot where Goku's unborn cub lay. He tried to pull any of his limbs free to get the saiyan warrior off him, but he was held too tightly.
"What the HELL are you doing?!" A deep, familiar voice boomed above the four saiyans on the ground. A vicious snarl came from the direction of the voice, and ki blasts knocked the alphas pinning Goku down away. Goten rushed over and kicked the male that had pinned his father down in the gut before he was grabbed by a black tail.
The poor beta was shaken with how close he was to loosing the small spark of ki that he carried under his heart, and he buried his face in his son's spikes as two more saiyans landed between them and the other three. By now, almost every single saiyan was running on instincts.
One of the two newcomers came over to Goku and Goten and wrapped them in an embrace to move them further from the inevitable fight. The panicked submissive fought until the voice from earlier whispered in his ear.
"It's alright, little brother. Father is taking care of it."Goku froze and looked up to see his smirking older brother Raditz. He blinked in shock as the long haired saiyan chuckled. "Don't look so shocked, Kakarot. I know we didn't meet on the best of circumstances, but I won't allow you to be left defenseless with a group of alphas."
The spiky haired man looked over to see another mirror image of himself wiping the floor with his attackers, and in the back of his mind, he wondered why almost all the saiyans he met looked similar to him.
