Decades ago, King Vegeta had ordered Squall and Sepiroth's dad, Bruno, out to a far planet to retrieve Brolly, a young Saiyan who while on a mission had gone out of control. He searched for days after finding the unknown planet, finally Bruno had found Brolly. As soon as the two met face to face, they confronted each other to battle. His father, Paragus, was nowhere to be found, so Brolly was free to do as he pleased, even kill a fellow Saiyan.

"Brolly, you're wild! I have orders from our King Vegeta. You will come with me or I'll have been given permission to kill you." Bruno challenged.

"Never, I am the strongest Saiyan ever! You can't order me around, what do you think you are, my father?" Brolly's raspy growl made Bruno wince. "I make the match!"

Brolly was the only Saiyan to have become super at the time, he was a legend far surpassed all others, but Bruno had Saiyan pride and still accepted. The fought raged on, but just because young Brolly had achieved Super Saiyan status didn't mean he could harness the energy properly to use it to his advantage, Bruno was able to get him into custody, but was badly injured himself. King Vegeta punished Brolly, sending him to disciplinary. Bruno was awarded with courageous honor and gave the general of his elite, new status as high inquisitor (one of the king's closes advisors, complete with their own medal). Later it was found that Brolly had broken out of the room with the help of his mentor and brotherly best friend Siefier, the one who helped Brolly's power explode, the one who turned Brolly against his own father.

A few years later…

King Vegeta was planning an attack on Freeza when he told Bardok to go out and see Bruno and his wife Karen to escape, not wanting them caught in the crossfire of battle, or to interfere. They were sent off and a few days later, Freeza blew up planet Vegeta. Unfortunately for them, their calculations were blown off course when the main tower on Planet Vegeta was destroyed. They were forced to wander the darkness alone, which was unfortunate, for Karen was pregnant.

Fifteen years ago…

Bruno was out training his seven year old son Sepiroth when Siefier found them and attacked. Sepiroth went to help his dad but, try as he might, he wouldn't let him. Siefier was strong and when he was about to kill Bruno, Sepiroth attacked from behind with his blasting zone and knocked out Siefier, allowing for him to escape with his dad. Soon after, Bruno and Karen had their second child, a boy they named Squall. Seven years later, they continued to planet hop to find livable civilization, and that's when the crash landed on earth, when they would meet a boy about the same age as Squall, and he too was a Saiyan, his name was Trunks.

Four years later…

Bruno was out training Squall like he had done with Sepiroth when Siefier found them and attacked once again. This time, rather than go after Bruno, he advanced on Squall, unleashing his hell flare. But Bruno jumped in the way to protect his son and took the blast. He didn't survive the lethal hit and Siefier had once again escaped.

Three years later….

Sepiroth was out camping, doing solo training as Squall stayed at home too look after their mom Karen, and who should find him, but Siefier once more. Rather than fight back, Sepiroth ran, trying to escape. But Siefier didn't have it, he hit Sepiroth with his hell flare, and near death, Sepiroth fell in on the Z-fighters who were training.

"So that's how you all met?" Joey asked, cutting into the story.

"Yes, and thank you for interrupting!"

"Oh, sorry…."

"Yeah, well good, because I lost my train of thought."

"So, if you met them a while ago, where have you been and why didn't you help them when they were fighting and stuff?"

"I'm not a superhero you know, I do have a life outside that. We only really knew Trunks, and he wasn't really too keen on telling Prince Vegeta that he found more Saiyans."

"Oh?" Joey smirked slyly. "And what exactly 'outside live' mean?"

"I…" Sepiroth hesitated, embarrassed. "Have a girlfriend."

"Oh yeah, Sepiroth's getting busy with the ladies." Joey began to root and catcall.

"Alright that's enough." Sepiroth cleared his throat and stopped blushing.

"Okay." Joey reduced his laughing and wiped a tear off his eye. "So, what's her name?"

"Claire." Sepiroth had met her about half a year after meeting the Z-fighters.

"So hey, you didn't tell me about your fight with Goku and Vegeta."

"Oh yeah." Sepiroth continued his story, time to make things a little lest fact and a bit more fiction, just for entertainment purposes only of course.

The Z-fighters found Sepiroth was seriously injured so they took nursed him back to heal with one of the Saiyan revalidation chambers. Vegeta had Bulma make one not too long ago. Within half an hour he was healthy again. As soon as he came to and looked around to get his bearings on where he was, he approached Goku and Vegeta.

"I challenge you two!" He pointed to them both, and they were all shocked yet amused.

"You want to fight them in a handicap match?" Goten was confused.

"But that's my dad." Trunks replied. Since Trunks met Squall already, he knew Sepiroth.

"I know about your fusion technique, use it to try and match my skill." Sepiroth jumped out of the chamber and got in his fighting stance. Everyone gasped in disbelief. He was insane, brave, but insane.

Goku shrugged at Vegeta, "Suit yourself. This won't take long, I know you hate fusing."

As soon as they were fused, the fight began. They lasted a long time, the two seemed to be on par, but Sepiroth pulled out and unleashed his blasting zone upon them. It caused such a force of impact that the fusion wore off and the two exousted Saiyans separated.

"How could you beat us?" Vegeta growled. "He's the strongest Saiyan there is, and I'm the prince of all the Saiyans!"

"Apparently there's one stronger than you, your majesty." Sepiroth laughed slightly. "You may have been a fused Super Saiyan, but you lack what I have."

"Oh, and what's that?" Goku asked.

"You all know the legend of Brolly, well he was the first to turn Super Saiyan, and my dad was the second, achieving such status in a fight. But do you know who the third was?" Sepiroth smirked. "Me."

"What!" Everyone gasped, in shock once again.

"No way, you're younger than my dad!" Gohan cried to the Saiyan about the same age.

"Who said you had to be an adult to become Super Saiyan?" Sepiroth hinted as he looked down at Goten and Trunks.

"Well I refuse to believe that and until I beat you, I will train and make myself stronger in order to be superior to all!" Vegeta stormed off.

"Wow." Sepiroth scratched the back of his head and turned to Trunks. "Do you think I may have hit a rough edge with him?"

"Nah, he gets like this a lot, it'll blow over."

"So did Vegeta ever beat you?" Joey asked after Sepiroth ended his tale.

"No. He did challenge me again after the destruction of Buu. We seemed to match up for most of the fight, but when he seemed to have the upper hand, I unleashed my true energy force and it beat him back down again."

"Wow." Joey was still amazed that this fighter, just a few years older than himself, couldn't only beat Vegeta as a Super Saiyan but also as a fused Super Saiyan with Goku.

"Anyway Joey, why ask me about Vegeta?" Sepiroth snapped Joey out of his thoughts.

"Oh no reason, it's just curious now that he's my trainer now that he's my adoptive dad."

Sepiroth was taken, "Vegeta is your dad!" He paused, maybe it wasn't a good idea to tell him the phony part of the story, it might make Vegeta quite angry.

"No, you see, Bulma is my mom."

"Well who's your biological dad then?"

"Oh, Yamcha…."

"Yamcha?" Sepiroth began to laugh. "You mean that lame drunken stoner tramp?" Sepiroth stopped laughing when he saw Joey's attitude change. "What, what's wrong?"

"Naturally I'd accept such accusations upon my dad, but please don't make fun of him now that he can't defend his own name anymore."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I guess you didn't know then, my dad died not too long ago."

"Oh." Sepiroth was lost for words. "So, did he fail miserably in a fight?"

"No, he had a heart attack."

"Ah." Sepiroth decided it would be best to not say anything else and changed the subject. "So, was Vegeta's training hard?"

"Are you kidding me?" Joey turned back around, laughing. "Hard is an understatement!"

"Oh yeah?" Sepiroth started laughing too. "So how tough are you?"

"He says I'm much stronger than my dad ever was, but I'm still only human though I may be the strongest of them. So I can't even go on par with you, a warrior race alien." Joey sighed, he was still disappointed that he couldn't raise his power level any higher. He preferred not to think about it and be reminded of his failures.

"Well for a full blooded human being, that's not too bad now is it? Your Earth's best!"

"Thanks." Joey began to feel better about himself. "Sorry I called you an alien…"

"No problem." Sepiroth smiled. He began to realize that no matter how much Joey was like Yamcha, he would never really grow up to become him, he had already surpassed it.

"Hey, as long as were swapping stories, maybe I can try and entertain you with one."

"Alright." Sepiroth began to think. "Have you ever competed in a martial arts tournament?"

"Yeah actually, why have you?"

"Nah."

"Well here then, why don't I tell you a story of mine own now. Just don't run off to take a bathroom break, I don't do intermissions."

"Fine…" Sepiroth rolled his eyes mockingly. And so Joey began his own tale.
