'What the fuck is going on?' Trunks thought incredulously, confused by the events that had unfolded in front of him. 'Goku was meant to be the one to kill Frieza; not my father!'
'How the hell did he become a super Saiyan already? Did I change history?' Trunks thought about it some more and figured he couldn't have. All he did was hide and watch things unfold, while waiting for Goku to arrive.
Trunks broke out of his mental tirade when he noticed his father addressing him while all the Z fighters looked confused.
He quickly descended to the ground and landed in front of his father. He waited for him to say something.
"So boy, where are you from?" Vegeta questioned. "Most humans can't fly you know." Vegeta hoped his son would reveal everything quickly, so he wouldn't have to be careful about what he said.
Trunks didn't know what to do. He had only been in this time for a few hours and already everything was different.
He decided to roll with it. If anything this would be a change for the better. After all, his father would clearly end up more powerful than before. Maybe he could defeat the androids,even if something happened to Goku.
"I am prepared to tell you all everything, but it would be best if everyone was here." Trunks said referring to Goku.
This irritated Vegeta because that meant he would have to act like he was none the wiser for another hour and a half.
An all too familiar voice spoke up. "Why? Who's not here yet?"
Hearing it all of the Z fighters turned to see Goku.
Exclamations of Goku's arrival and various other cheers were heard, as well as some questions on how he was back so soon.
"Well, it's really cool actually. You see, I've learnt a technique called instant transmission."Goku explained proudly. "It breaks my body down into light, so I can move really, really fast." He put his index and middle finger to his forehead to demonstrate what he does when teleporting.
"Wow, Dad! That's amazing!" Gohan cheered. He was excited now that Goku was home. Even if Vegeta was a super Saiyan, Goku could beat him.
"Hey! Vegeta! I saw your fight and it looked great, you know." Goku exclaimed feeling excited by how much power Vegeta had shown.
"Of course my super Saiyan form looked great; after all, I always look great." Vegeta told them smugly smirking at his own compliment.
"No, I meant your shirt. It's really nice." Goku corrected.
Vegeta looked down, realizing that he was still in the damn thing. He must have looked ridiculous the whole time he was killing Frieza.
"Yeah, well… look what you're wearing!" Vegeta growled, bringing attention to Goku's incredibly strange attire. He was wearing red pants, some weird neck thing and a white shirt with golden bits at the wrist. On top of it all, he wore what looked to be some kind of armor in blue.
"I'll have you know this is the latest fashion on Planet Yardrat." Goku proudly announced. He went on to tell them all about Yardrat and how he learnt instant transmission.
"Goku, that's amazing!" Various other comments were heard congratulating him.
"Instant transmission isn't nearly as impressive as you think." Vegeta commented wanting to end the conversation. He wanted to win his match with Kakarrot, already.
"Really?" Bulma challenged with her hands on her hips. "Can you do it, Vegeta?" A short argument then started between them. It ended with Vegeta doing a quick demonstration for her to shut up by bringing her bed from Capsule Corp.
"Hey, what's the deal with those two?" Goku whispered to his son, as he just noticed the layer of Ki Vegeta had forgotten to take of off Bulma.
"I have no idea." Gohan responded while trying to work out what was going on based on their behavior. It almost reminded him of his parents… almost. His dad never argued back with his mom, Chi-Chi.
"Hey, Vegeta? Why did you put a shield around Bulma?" Goku asked far too loudly, interrupting the new argument that had started between Bulma and Vegeta after the last one ended. The new one was about Bulma yelling at the Saiyan prince for showing off and telling him to put her bed back where he found it.
Once the barrier topic was brought to their attention, all of the Z fighters were able to sense it. They all stared at Vegeta, waiting for him to answer.
Vegeta did not like where this was going. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten to remove it. Vegeta gave Goku his best death glare, which made the other Saiyan gave a happy grin in response.
"Come on, Kakarrot. Let's fight." Vegeta ordered, hoping to change the subject.
"Oh, I get it… Vegeta and Bulma sitting it a tree-" Goku started singing.
Vegeta punched Goku hard enough to send him flying into the distance just to shut him up. The prince followed in hot pursuit but didn't follow up the attack. Instead, he just stood, arms crossed, in front of Goku. He wanted a fair fight. Goku had landed headfirst in the soon as Vegeta landed, Goku jumped up as if nothing had happened and sank into his stance.
No words were exchanged by the two fighters. They both powered up to super Saiyan and prepared for the fight. Goku noticed that Vegeta was at least equal to him in power, probably because he hadn't done any serious training in this form yet.
Goku made the first move by launching himself at Vegeta and unleashing a barrage of punches. Vegeta blocked and parried without too much difficulty before sweeping Goku's legs. Instead of falling, Goku flew into the air with Vegeta in tow.
The rest of the Z fighters watched as they traded blows. Fist met fist, knee met knee each time unleashing a shock wave that would have knocked them over if they weren't so far away. At first, the other fighters were able to follow their movements, but soon they were just blurs in the sky ramming into each other than darting away repeatedly.
Eventually, Goku saw an opening near Vegeta's stomach and instinctively took it. However, this proved to be a trick. With a swift movement of Vegeta's arm, he was able to stop the attack and counter with a devastating knee to the stomach, making Goku spit up blood.
He then followed up by raising his hands above his head and lowering them onto Goku's exposed back, sending him careening towards the ground. Just as he was about to hit the ground, Vegeta appeared and unleashed a 'Big Bang Attack' at the defenseless form of Goku that sent him flying into the air.
Vegeta saw the blast connect and assumed he had won. He decided he wasn't going to make any mistakes and make sure. He chased after Goku's limp form to check if he was really knocked out.
He was about half way when his fears were confirmed.
Goku had managed to stop himself in mid-air and started chanting "Kamehame…"
Vegeta knew this wasn't good and tried to get out of the way as Goku fired it screaming,"HAAAA!"
Goku saw the blast was about to hit its target, but Vegeta raised his hands and unleashed a 'Galick Gun' attack. Vegeta's attack was getting overpowered because he did not have enough time to charge it. Goku's beam slowly moved towards Vegeta's until there was nothing more than a foot left of his when Vegeta let out an almighty roar as he unleashed yet another burst of energy.
To all the spectators on the ground, it looked as though the beam had gone right through Vegeta's making Goku the winner. The beam continued moving until it hit the ground with a massive explosion, creating a huge crater.
Goku was in the air, panting, while watching the crater to see if his opponent would be there as the smoke cleared. Goku was so focused on what was in front of him, he didn't sense Vegeta appearing behind him until it was too late.
Vegeta brutally smashed Goku in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious and sending him into the ground. When he made contact, a large hole formed around him as his hair reverted to its normal black color and he fell unconscious.
The rest of the Z fighters watched horrified and it grew more intense when Vegeta landed in front of them smirking at his accomplishment.

Beta Note: I tried to find a pic of Goku's uniform from Yardrat. I am just revising Egxo's chapters for readability. Fun note: Kamehameha is in Word spellcheck dictionary. ~Reesechan
