Resident Evil events here. Zabar is my own character. He looks nearly identical to Albert Wesker except for him being a bit bigger and stronger.

A New Threat

It has been two weeks since Gin's flight on Vegeta and it was obvious that the saiyan's plan had worked. Gin was more willing to obey the second lieutenant now and was even beginning to talk to him more. The proof was in Vegeta's reports to Yamamoto, stating that the ex-captain was indeed slowly improving. Even Squad 5's new captain was seeing some small changes.

Val: "When I first heard you say that YOU wanted to decide Gin's fate I thought you had finally taken one too many hits to the head... But now I see that you maybe right, although I'm still unsure... But you still do take too many hits to your head."

Vegeta: "Yes I do and I'm looking at the person who gives me those many hits."

Val: "Don't make me hurt you."

Life in the Soul Society seemed to be going smoothly. However... Very soon that all changed. Three days later, a meeting was called for by Yamamoto asking for all captains and lieutenants to come. The atmosphere was tense all around. Everyone knew why they were there.

Yamamoto: "Thank you all for coming. As you know, in the last two nights someone or something has been attacking the Gatekeepers of the Seireitei and trying to get in but failed. So far we have no leads as to who or what is doing this. That is why I'm appointing Squad 10's second lieutenant in charge of the investigation."

Vegeta: "Yes sir."

Yamamoto: "Once you find something, be sure to notify the rest of us. That is all."

The meeting ended just like that. While walking back to the office, Vegeta was thinking hard about what was going on. Lately, a mysterious figure has been appearing at each of the four gates into the Seireitei at night. When one of the Gatekeepers would try to confront it, they were quickly attacked and badly injured. But somehow the Gatekeeper of the West Gate, Jidanbo Ikkanzaka, managed to fend off the intruder without much injury. After Vegeta was given a full pardon by Yamamoto back when he first arrived to the Soul Society, Jidanbo was one of the first people Toushiro took him to meet. The young captain and the Gatekeeper were old friends so the saiyan prince knew just who to go to first. After he got Gin, Vegeta went to the West Gate. Once there, Vegeta jumped up to the roof of the nearest building in order to talk to the giant.

Vegeta: "Yo Jidanbo!"

Jidanbo: "Oh Vegeta! I didn't see you there!"

Vegeta: "You never do! That's why I'm on the roof!"

At that moment, Jidanbo saw Gin.

Jidanbo: "I-Is that..."

Vegeta: "He's with me, Jidanbo. I want to ask you something."

Jidanbo: "Sure what is it?"

Vegeta: "I want you to tell me anything about that mysterious figure that attacked you the other night. You're the only one of the four Gatekeepers that didn't get seriously hurt and I've been put in charge of this investigation. Is there anything that you can tell me?"

Jidanbo: "Well it looked to be a man. He was wearing a black leather jacket and black leather clothes under it."

Vegeta: "Anything more descriptive?"

Jidanbo: "Uh... Oh yeah! His hair was blonde and smoothed back. He also wore sunglasses."

Vegeta: "... ... Sunglasses?"

Gin: "Did he say anything?"

Jidanbo: "Actually... He did say something and... It was a message for you, Vegeta."

Vegeta: "What?"

Jidanbo: "He said 'It's time we settled things once and for all, Vegeta. I know you and Goku will come looking for me, so I'll tell you where to look. Look for me in Africa. I'm looking forward to our little reunion.' When he said it I felt a chill go down my back."

Gin: "Someone you know Vegeta?"

Vegeta: "I've got a lot of enemies, Gin and so does Kakarot."

Jidanbo: "Oh and uh, he... Left this for you."

Jidanbo gave something to Vegeta. The saiyan prince looked at it. As he did, his eyes grew wide with anger. It was an old police badge that said 'S.T.A.R.S' on it. Gin and Jidanbo backed off when they heard the saiyan prince snarl.

Vegeta: "Zabar..."

Later that day, another meeting was called and this time Goku was summoned. He was that last one to arrive and he noticed a very agitated Vegeta the second he walked in.

Goku: "Huh, Vegeta... What's wrong?"

But there was no response from the saiyan prince. Goku looked around and saw everyone was a little tense.

Goku: "What's.. Wrong with you guys?"

Byakuya: "Lately, a mysterious figure has been appearing at each of the four gates into the Seireitei at night. The Gatekeeper in charge of each gate were badly injured when they tries to confront it."

Soifon: "Lieutenant Vegeta talked to the only Gatekeeper that wasn't badly hurt and has acquired much information... But he refuses to tell us!"

Vegeta: "... That's because this isn't your problem, it's mine and Kakarot's."

Goku: "Yours and mine?"

Instead of explaining, Vegeta just tossed the badge to Goku. Like Vegeta, Goku's eyes grew wide with anger and fear.

Vegeta: "He's back."

Toushiro: "Who's back?"

Vegeta: "... Zabar."

Val: "Zabar! It can't be! I thought you and Goku killed him a long time ago!"

Vegeta: "So did I but he's back and looking to settle things with me and Kakarot."

Komamura: "Would you mind explaining to us who is Zabar?"

Goku: "It's better if I started at the beginning... A few years ago, way before Toushiro met Vegeta, our wives Chi-Chi and Bulma were forcing Vegeta and I to get jobs like normal humans. So we decided to join a police force so that we would have a job and still protect the innocent. We didn't just become police officers, we became members of the S.T.A.R.S. force in Raccoon City. S.T.A.R.S. stands for Special Tactics and Rescue Service. It was the pride and joy of the Raccoon City Police Department, the best of the best. There were two groups, Bravo team and Alpha team. Vegeta was in Alpha and I was in Bravo. Albert Wesker was our captain back then but a guy named Zabar was our second-in-command, someone Wesker brought in personally. One day, Bravo team was sent out to investigate a number of grisly murders that had taken place on the outskirts of town. Victims were attacked in their homes by a group of assailants with evidence of cannibalism. It was supposed to be a simple investigation mission. But everything changed when our helicopter crashed. Soon after, we were attacked by monsters and fled to a mansion."

Vegeta: "It was at that time that Alpha team was dispatched to find Bravo team. I, along with Wesker, Zabar and the remaining members soon found their helicopter but we were attacked as well. We fled to the same mansion that Bravo team was in."

Goku: "By then it was too late for many of my team. Only I and one other survived the nightmares that inhabited that place. Vegeta was the one who found me and very soon we all started to find away out of that nightmare. The mansion belonged to a corporation called Umbrella. They ran nearly everything in Raccoon City. As we searched the mansion we discovered what was going on and that Wesker was a secret member of Umbrella. Umbrella was experimenting with a biological weapon called the 't-virus'. The t-virus re-animated dead cells in a living thing and mutated them. The monsters that occupied the mansion were created from the virus, most being the scientists. Whatever the virus infects, it'll eventually kill and bring back to life as zombies. Thus, the start of a specific event."

Ukitake: "The Raccoon City Incident!"

Vegeta: "Yes. Eventually, all but one Alpha team member escaped with Kakarot and his other teammate. But Wesker was attacked and supposedly killed by his 'Tyrant' creature. However, we discovered that he was still alive."

Goku: "After that, Vegeta and I along with a number of others somehow affected by the Raccoon City incident, have been working to stop the breakouts around the world. We learned that Wesker was born with the Progenitor virus which is the base of the t-virus and many others. Because of this, Wesker had abnormal strength and speed as well as intellect. He also wore sunglasses to cover his red cat-like eyes that glow before he attacks. For years the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members were trying to stop him and the terrorists that were using Umbrella's projects. One day we got word from Leon S. Kennedy, a survivor of Raccoon City and is now a secret agent for the U.S. government who I met through Vegeta, that two of our old S.T.A.R.S. members, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, had found where the president of the Umbrella Corporation was. His name was Ozwell E. Spencer. So Vegeta and I went with Chris and Jill only to find Wesker there and that he had just killed Spencer. The four of us engaged in a fight with him where we soon discovered that we were no match for him. But then, Vegeta managed to push Wesker out a window and they both fell into the raging ocean waters below. Vegeta survived, but there was no sign of Wesker so we thought that he was dead. That was 6 years ago. After fighting him for so long, we welcomed the though that he was gone."

Vegeta: "But Wesker had survived and went to Africa where Chris Redfield and his new partner Sheva Alomar finally killed him for good. Only after Wesker's death did we discover that Zabar was his partner and had picked up where Wesker left off. It seems he wants to settle things with us once and for all."

Goku: "It sounds more like he wants to settle things with you, Vegeta. After all, you are the one who he really didn't get along with in the beginning."

Vegeta: "This is true."

Yamamoto: "If what you say is true, then the entire Soul Society is in real danger."

Kyoraku: "Figures something like this would happen a few weeks after a war."

Byakuya: "You said that terrorists were using Umbrella's projects. If this Zabar is back, then wouldn't the terrorists be able to get ahold of new bio weapons?"

Val: "That does bring up a good point. Every time Wesker showed his face, multiple viral breakouts would occur soon after and Zabar will do the same. Many innocent lives will be in danger."

Vegeta: "Or are already. We don't know how long he's been back!"

Ukitake: "Do these virus' have cures?"

Goku: "The ones that we know of do, yes. We've kept a very detailed record of everything. The virus', their cures, the monsters that they mutate, the symptoms, everything! Even the history of Umbrella, biographies of the scientists, of the victims and survivors! We've got it all and we continue to gather data because we've recently learned that some terrorists are starting to create their own bio weapons from the samples they get!"

Unohana: "Will the Soul Society be affected by these bio weapons?"

Vegeta: "We're not sure."

Goku: "A situation like that hasn't been presented to us yet! But considering that living beings like Val, Mika and Vegeta can live here, then it is indeed a very strong possibility!"

Yamamoto: "This is serious!"

Vegeta: "I agree which is why I want to head over to Africa right now to stop Zabar!"

Goku: "Same goes for me!"

Yamamoto: "Hold it! Goku, please give us all of the data you have regarding this situation!"

Kurotsuchi: "I'll get to work on making the anti-virus' as well as store a copy of everything you have into the library!"

Goku: "I just happen to have the disk with me. Vegeta asked me to bring it before I came here."

Kurotsuchi: "Is it the most recently updated one?"

Goku: "Yes. It's from yesterday."

Goku handed Kurotsuchi the disk and accompanied him to Squad 12's research center. Knowing what Kurotsuchi was like, Val went with them.

Yamamoto: "While Goku assists Kurotsuchi, I want all of the Squads to examine the Soul Society and any new souls arriving! This is a direct order!"

All Captains: "Yes sir!"

Vegeta: "What about me? I'm not going to stand by and wait while Zabar is out there!"

Yamamoto: "I understand your anger, Vegeta! But until we know what it is we are getting ourselves into, you must wait!"

Vegeta: "I already know what's going on! If we don't act now then it'll be too late to stop whatever Zabar's planing!"

Yamamoto: "If you do not stop acting up like this, then I'll have no choice then to have you put behind bars!"

Vegeta growled as he looked into the old mans eyes. When he saw that Yamamoto was serious, he calmed down. But the saiyan prince was still noticeably agitated. Nearly a hour and a half later, Goku and Val emerged from Squad 12's section and went to Squad 10. There they found Vegeta pacing back and forth in front of the office with Gin siting close by. Toushiro was held back by Yamamoto for some reason.

Vegeta: "Damn that Zabar! How did he know I was here?"

Val: "I'd like to know that myself!"

Goku: "I wish we could go after Zabar right now but Yamamoto won't let Vegeta go and I can't face Zabar alone!"

Gin: "But there is another way."

Vegeta: "And what would that be Gin?"

Gin: "If a captain were to give their lieutenant an order to go to the world of the living along with another captain's acknowledgement of that order, then the lieutenant can go wherever they please without the Head-Captain's permission. I know this for a fact since I've done it a few times myself... And since Val here is a captain..."

Vegeta: "I just need Toushiro to give me the order!"

Goku: "While you talk to Toushiro about that, I'll head back and let everyone know what's going on! I'll come back later tonight."
