CHAPTER 1- Kami Makes A Deal
Ok, so by now you're probably wondering what the hell is going on with this fic! Well you're about to find out so here we go!!!
Disclaimer: if I owned dragon ball z (which by the way I don't) I'd sleep a lot sounder at night!!!
King Yama sat at his gargantuan desk shuffling papers aimlessly. He was well renowned for his almost pathological hatred for paperwork and he had a lot of it to do. Being in charge of distributing all the dead souls in a whole quadrant of the galaxy wasn't easy.
A nerdish administration ogre wandered cautiously up to his desk and lightly cleared his throat, hoping to attract the king's attention without igniting his foul temper.
King Yama didn't look up and the ogre prepared to clear his throat again when the king said suddenly
"What do you want man, can't you see I'm busy?"
"Yes of course sir, but Kami of Chikyu is here requesting an audience with you"
"Hmm?" king Yama finally looked up " well then send him in!" he was somewhat relieved to have found an interruption to his dreaded task.
"Y-yes sir!" said the nerdy ogre and ran to open the door to Kami, accompanied by a girl in her late twenties with blue hair and eyes.
"Ah Kami!" said Yama in a suitably booming and omnipotent sounding voice, "to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" he leaned back comfortably in his chair.
"Well, sir" began Kami "I need to speak to you in private about a very urgent matter"
Bulma's ears pricked up
'Kami said that we were here to find out whether I would be going to heaven or hell… am I that important that my judgment is an urgent matter? Something is definitely going on here!'
"What's going on here Kami? If it's got anything to do with me then you'd better spill the beans right now!" Bulma suddenly roared
"All in good time my child, all will be explained to you once I know where we stand, I still have to ask his highness a few things before we decide where you're going for the next year" Kami replied softly.
"Well ok, but I still don't like it!" she stormed off into a corner. Kami sighed, he really shouldn't blame her for being annoyed; dieing was a traumatizing and disorientating thing.
Slowly Kami approached Yama's desk.
"So Kami, what is this urgent matter? It better be very important, I'm a busy ogre you know!!"
"Of course your highness, I wouldn't come to you unless it was of the utmost importance" Kami knew that flattery would get him everywhere with a hot head like Yama. "There has been a disturbance in the natural course of time." He stated
"A what???" king Yama was distressed, this was definitely serious
"The book of destinies has been contradicted, if things continue to run their current course Chikyu will be destroyed prematurely"
"How did this happen?"
"It is very complicated your highness"
"Are you implying that I wouldn't understand Kami?"
"Of course not sir! I-I just think you should get comfortable, this may take time to explain properly." Kami corrected quickly "it all started yesterday, when an evil warrior lord named Frieza, I'm sure you've heard of him, killed one of the last of the saiya jin race, the prince no less"
"And?" Said king Yama impatiently "of what consequence is that to me? He did not die in an area under my jurisdiction!"
"No, sir, but according to the book of destinies, he should not have died! He was destined to transform into a legendary super saiya jin during that battle and destroy Frieza. Now, Frieza lives on, running a mock throughout the galaxy, eventually he will reach earth and it will be destroyed."
"So why don't you just wish him back with the dragon balls?"
"The planet he was killed on was destroyed, we could wish him to the earth's
check in post and then back to life on earth, however the dragon balls can only
make one wish at a time and if we wait two years, it will be too late, plus
there is no guarantee that he will be inclined to protect Chikyu." Kami looked
at the ground sadly
"I see. But what does this have to do with Chikyu in
particular and what does that girl have to do with it all??"
"The saiya jin, was destined to become a great protector of Chikyu, as are his
unborn children, he must achieve his destiny or the fabric of time itself may
collapse, not to mention the destruction of Chikyu! As for the girl, the only
reason the saiya jin will stay on Chikyu is her, she is his soul mate, they are
also destined to meet and that's why I brought her here. If he does not have
her to keep him on Chikyu, he will leave, as other than her he cares little
about anything except his own strength. It is vitally important to the survival
of Chikyu that he stays on the planet and that his children are born, therefore
these two must meet and be brought back to life."
King Yama thought for a moment
"How will you bring them both back to life in the space of a year?"
"I will send some of earth's protectors to namek using earth's dragon balls, to gather the original dragon balls, there they can make three wishes, they can bring back the saiya jin and the girl and then wish themselves home. It'll be a tight schedule to fit into a year and a half, seeing as it'll take a year for chikyu's dragon balls to recharge, but it's our only hope"
"So I gather you want me to bring the saiya jin here to the earth's check in post, allow these two to meet and spend the next year together in the realm of the dead, then they will be brought back to life, he'll protect the earth and then they'll have children and all will be as it should have been?"
"Well, yes."
King Yama laughed.
"You've got to be kidding! Why should I bother to stretch the limits of my power and authority to save one planet?"
Kami frowned, it was just no use trying to explain to King Yama that time would simply collapse, he wouldn't understand. Luckily, Kami knew how to speak his language
"Your highness, just imagine all the paperwork you'll have to do if everyone on earth is killed, plus how are you going to explain to your boss that a planet under your jurisdiction has disappeared without a trace when the book of destinies says that it has another 60 million years of existence ahead of it yet??"
King Yama's face fell
"When you put it like that Kami, I'd better get right on it!
What was this saiya jin's name again?"
"Vegeta, your highness"
Yama nodded and sent a message via nerdy ogre to the king of the southern quadrant asking him to transfer Vegeta immediately.
Kami smiled wisely. 'All is not lost… yet' he thought.
