Chapter 7: The Memory Remains
After finishing another fifty dishes, Vegito pat his stomach, again satisfied. He had left the League's founders talking about what they had found about him and his universe, almost half an hour ago. Now he was leaning on his chair, with the big pile of dishes on the table. Vegito saw the wall, where a clock was. Its time was twelve o'clock in the noon on Earth.
He suddenly realise that there was still some information he hadn't told them yet. He didn't tell about the Dragon Balls, his reason to have come here, how his home exploded… or better said, about 'who' made it explode.
Vegito shake his head, trying to forget about that. "Maybe he destroyed everyone I cared for, but at least he is rotting in Hell for that" He thought, thankful that the bastard was not going to bother him anymore.
Leaving the kitchen, Vegito started to think about other things. He would talk to the League later. Now, he felt it was time to train. The good thing is that he had his secret 'room', on the little brown sac with the Senzu Beans.
That's when he started to remember his last moments on his home universe…
Dragon Ball Universe, Planet Hope, Year 880 (one month after Earth's explosion)
Planet Hope, a planet in a far distant galaxy, wich could sustain life on its surface. Vegito named it, as it was literally, his last 'hope' to not die of starvation. Almost a million Beans had been grown on its soil, for the only reason to feed one single man. But at the moment, Vegito had already harvested the rest of the remaining Senzu Beans, wich were almost one hundred thousand beans left. He made a big pile of them, near his house. Or what he called 'house'. His magnificent space ship, which on the inside had the gravity machine. The ship was an upgraded version of the one used by Goku when traveling to Namek. It had the same things as the one Goku had, though the Gravity machine had been upgraded, so it could withstand gravity degrees that surpassed the million. Vegito always trained that way; with gravity surpassing a million times the one on Earth. Another upgrade was a 'capsule button' allowing Vegito to shrink it to the size of a capsule, a fact that allowed Vegito to transport it anywhere. His scientific wife made it specially for him, also increasing its resistance to energy attacks, so Vegito wouldn't blow it up by accident.
Under the gravity room, there were a bathroom, a kitchen and a bedroom. In the bedroom, there were two Greek-like jars, that Vegito had made by his own hand. The planet's mineral resources hadn't been used, meaning that there were lots of them. It took him one hour to make them, but these were different that Earth's ones. They had a deep white color, as they were make of marble, and their width was almost twice the ones on Earth. Vegito had shaped them, using his energy to melt the marble and giving them a defined structure. Then he left them to dry and in one hour they were ready. They were wider because some things had to be kept inside, and that's how they would be used: to contain one hundred thousand beans.
Vegito teleported outside with the jars and started filling them with the Senzu Beans. After half an hour, Vegito had almost put all the beans in, only remaining six. Taking out a small brown sac from his trousers' pocket, he put the six beans inside. They could be useful if something happened to him, though he doubt it. But by the time he had put the sac on his pocket, two beings appeared behind him. Vegito knew who they were by feeling their power signals, but his mood wasn't the best now, especially towards them, so he didn't bother in turning back.
"What do you want now?" Vegito said in a furious tone, still not turning back.
"You can't do it" said the oldest man "We forbid you."
Vegito was not interested on what they had to say. He had an opportunity, a chance to start over again, and those idiots were not going to stop him now. Nobody could.
"Your voice has annoyed me enough during the last century, so shut up!" said Vegito with his aggressive tone.
"STUPID KID! DON'T YOU REALISE THAT A SUPREME KAI IS TALKING TO YOU!?" shouted the old man, with his face gone red. The other man was younger and taller, but he hadn't said anything. He had deep concern look.
"I only hear a supreme FOOL, that thinks he can talk to me into my eyes!" Said angrily Vegito, turning back to them. His eyes were constantly changing between black and green, and they were shining in wrath. That sight made the young Kai to jump back, but the old one remained in his place, not taken back from that.
"I thought we had made a deal, almost a hundred years ago…" Vegito started saying, his anger increasing with every word "You Kais would watch over the universe and I would stop any problem that would come. Why the only time you make a mistake, my family pays it with their lives!?"
"Look kid, we know the lost of your family, must have been something terrible to see, but death is a fundamental law in all the universes, either if its natural or accidental" said calmly the old man.
Vegito was furious, and he wasn't going to hear them, any longer. He had done that once, and now his family was gone.
"I'm done here" He said. He started walking to the gravity ship, with both jars on his shoulders. But a figure appeared in front of him.
"Please, Mr Vegito" pleaded the young East Supreme Kai. "If you leave us, what will happen to the universe?" Vegito left the jars on the ground, glaring at him.
"I no longer care! Neither for this universe or you two…" started saying Vegito, angry "If you worry about your SO 'precious' universe, then protect it. Because that's what Kais should have done, instead of sending their puppets."
Vegito looked back to the Old Kai, pointing it with his finger "If you had let me brought them back, nothing of this would be happening."
"Stupid boy! I already told you. Using the Dragon Balls goes against the natural order of the universe. Those things should have never been made. Their power is so dangerous that no one can comprehend it" replied the Old Kai. Vegito was giving him an evil smirk.
"If that's the case, then it would have been a good chance to test my Powers…" said Vegito rampant "But NO… you had to start complaining about 'the ancient evil of which only a geezer knows'." The Old Kai was not going to stand so much insolence.
"Boy, why don't you listen!? Don't you understand that what I do, is for the best?"Said the Old Kai. But before he had realised, a hand grabbed his neck and was starting to put pressure on it. Vegito was grabbing him, using only a small part of his true strength. His eyes only showed a murderous look. He only needed to use a bit more of power, to hear the satisfying sound of the broken neck.
"FOR THE BEST!?" shouted Vegito, with a voice that roared like a Thunder. His power was increasing, making the planet to shake to its foundation. A Golden aura started to surround him, and his eyes were going green.
The East Supreme Kai was not going to stay there, while Vegito was killing his ancestor.
"STOP!" he shouted, before he started flying towards Vegito, ready to attack him. But before he landed a finger on him, Vegito disappeared. The young Kai looked around, knowing that Vegito had used his Instant Transmission. But before he could have realised, something hit him on the back, making him fell to the ground. On the ground, he turned around and saw what hit him. It was the Old Kai. Vegito had thrown him as fast as a bullet.
Though of course, Vegito wasn't using all his strength. If he had wanted, he could have thrown the Old Kai at Sonic speeds, something that could have knock out the East Kai, and would for surely have killed the Old one. But Vegito needed them conscious. The Old Kai started to move again, having not felt unconscious.
Vegito appeared in front of them. He put his right arm forward, with his hand on a stop position. Then a white energy orb appeared, with thrice the size of Vegito's hand. "I could easily obliterate both of you into dust, along with the planet" Vegito said, with a wicked tone. He was going to kill them, and there was nothing they could do to stop him.
But Vegito, instead, lowered his hand and the energy orb disappeared. "But I won't. This planet will stay here, as a reminder of your failure, and the big mistake you have made" Vegito said, with a despicable look on his face.
In a second, he teleported next to the jars, grabbed them by the handles and teleported again to his bedroom inside the ship. He left them and teleported again. He appeared in the main room and pushed the capsule button. Vegito left the ship and in a second, a big "PUM" was heard. Where there was a big ship, now standed a little capsule, numbered 5, wich had a push-button on its upper part. Vegito took out the little brown bag and putted the capsule in.
The two Kais had recovered from the attack, but they were still stunned from it. The Old Kai was standing up again, though with help of the young Kai. He was looking to the Saiyan he had helped to create, who had helped all around the universe on impossible missions, with disappointed eyes.
"You can't do this!" he said, in a very deep tone.
Vegito looked back, his face totally emotionless. "Watch me…" Vegito said, making a small pause and turning his face into an evil smirk "If you can!"
Then, in less than a second, both Kais were blast yards away, falling to the ground unconscious. Vegito did it, with his 'mental' blasts. Vegito really enjoy using those attacks. They didn't need energy, only mental concentration.
He immediately concentrated on his destination and teleported. He appeared in the middle of the space, totally unprotected to the radiation and space vacuüm. But Vegito wasn't affected. Saiyans could survive in space, and Vegito was not the exception. Any kind of harmful radiation would only tickle Vegito, never really affecting him. Not even getting closer to the Sun would hurt him. But he had to concentrate, he was going to make a Choice, that once made, he thought he could never undo it.
He looked to where his home planet was, but now there was something else. Something bigger and darker.
Where before someone could have seen a blue planet, which on its surface had evolved all kinds of animals and plants, now only standed a gigantic black hole. With two times the Earth's size, the massive galactic vortex was sucking everything he founded on his way. Nobody had seen it coming, but according to what the Kais said, the now titanic space disruption, was create when the Earth's exploded. If the Kais were right, then when the Earth exploded, most of the energy of the 'bomb' was concentrated inwards, only releasing enough energy to destroy the planet. But the concentrated energy was too much to hold, and a tear on the reality happened. Though at first it was only as big as one of Vegito's Beans, in a month, it had increased his size by a billion fold.
After finding out, Vegito appeared on the scene, using every ability he had, in trying to close it. But nothing worked. Black holes are massive 'vacuum cleaners', absorbing anything that would be on its way. Anything that would get in, would never came back: it would be crushed by the endless gravity, until the object disappeared, not even dust would be left of it. Vegito's energy attacks were just absorbed, even after transforming into Super Saiyan. He didn't transform into the ascended levels, for fear of causing 'another' tear in the reality. Vegito just gave up; He had no way to overpower or overcame such a thing. His brute force wouldn't work on a lifeless black emptiness, and his energy would only be absorbed; if worse, it would increase the vortex's size.
But after three weeks, the hole's size stop increasing. From that day on, the hole hadn't increased in size, remaining with the actual size of two times the Earth. The Kais said that those things were very unpredictable, and that no one could know what would happen next. That's when Vegito felt it. During one of his 'inspections' on the black void, he felt life signals, coming from it. He couldn't understand.
"The Black holes have ki?" he thought. He started getting closer to it, always ready to teleport if he was suck. But as he got closer, the energy signals were becoming stronger. He felt that those energies were equal, and some, even stronger than him. He teleported to the Supreme World. The Old Kai told him that it wasn't a black hole as they have first thought. It was a worm hole. But Vegito didn't care the name, he wanted to go to the other side and fight. But the Kais refused. They always did.
First, they refused to used the Dragon Balls to bring back the Earth. Second, they refused to use the Dragon Balls to closet he hole, and now they were refusing him to fight.
Vegito had enough. He may have understood that using the Dragon Balls was bad, but he had lost everything. The only remaining person on his family, was himself. He had enough with the rules. He had followed them and he lost everything. Now, he could not even fight someone from other dimension. A dimension, which the Kais didn't rule. He was going there; and he would never return.
Now the time had come. He was there, facing the empty blackness in front of him.
"I don't care if I die or if I'm moved into another dimension. I have nothing to lose. This universe never gave me something good to fight against, but the new one will." He thought.
He looked back to a small flashing point in the deepest part of space. It was the galaxy, where his 'hope' was; The only reminder he had of his family, and now, it had to be left.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm truly sorry. For been such a weakling, for been a moron. For thinking that nothing could hurt me. For my stupid pride and arrogance, all of you are gone..." Vegito thought, with a tear coming down from his eye. "I can only say; I'm sorry."
Vegito cleaned his tear and look to the void. Then, a white aura surrounded him, before he started flying at Sonic speeds towards the hole. The closer he got to the vortex, more pressure on his body could be felt. And It felt like if something as big as a galaxy, was pressing every part of his body. And the deeper he got, more pressure was on him. Vegito couldn't see anything. He could only feel the massive pressure, that seemed to crash every bone on his body, and a massive suction that was pulling him, towards the energy he had felt.
Vegito didn't know for how long he was suck. Days or months, it didn't matter. But at last, he saw it. Out of nowhere, Vegito saw a green grass in front of him. He didn't have enough time to react. He felt to the ground, landing with a powerful thud. However, Vegito wasn't injured or unconscious. That simple fall was nothing but a tickle to his almost invulnerable body.
He got up and saw that he had landed on the outskirts of a small town. He saw a big signboard, which had the name of the town.
"Smallville?" he read, having never heard of that town. He then saw towards the village, but he was totally stunned. Instead of a peaceful town, he saw the entire city on fire! Something was happening on the planet. "A massive invasion, for sure" He thought. Then, he felt power signals coming from it, but they were from normal people. No one was as strong as him.
"It seems I arrive just in time." he said, happy to show this universe, who was the strongest. He then turned his head to East, and felt it. Many power signals, and some, were as strong as him.
"Alright, let's have some fun" he said, with an arrogant smile. But before he started flying, he realised. "I need to hide my ship. I don't want to lose it in the fight, along with the beans. They might be useful if I helped the civilians." He thought.
He started flying to the west, trying to find any place safe enough to hide his ship. After some minutes, he found a cave. He entered, using a small yellow energy ball as a flashlight. He didn't feel any power signal on its inside, so he went on. On the walls were what looked like Egyptians' hieroglyphics, but weirder. He wouldn't bother to know what they mean, he had to save a World.
He kept going for some minutes, until he reached what seemed like an altar, with the same weird symbols, framed on it. Vegito took the brown sac from his pocket, taking out the capsule ship. Under the 'altar', he digged a small hole on the ground. He putted the capsule in, but didn't cover it again with soil; he wouldn't risk to lose it. Using his Instant Movement, he teleported again to the town's outskirts. He again felt the power signals, but something was odd: of the two signals that seemed the strongest, one was fading, while the other was at his full, having lost no energy.
"I don't know who they are, but I have to do something." he said, concentrating on the Powers he was feeling. He instantly appeared on the sky, above two beings. One was an alien, who was grabbing with his hand the neck of the other power signal Vegito had felt. The 'choked' creature, seemed like a man, but was wearing a blue and red outfit, with a red cape, though most of it had cuts all around it. Vegito didn't care who was friend and who was foe. He had to act. He started flying towards the alien at Light speed, ready to land a powerful right fist into his face…
Back in the Watchtower, Vegito had walked all around the base, while remembering the last day in his universe, along with the first moments on the new one. He wouldn't have thought that on his first day, he would already become a hero to this new Earth! Of course,that was one of his objectives here. The other one, was to find someone who would push him to his limits.
"I know that this universe has a lot of Fighters. And one, will push me to my limits and beyond…" started thinking Vegito, with a smile on his face. "I just hope to find it soon. I have waited for a worthy fight for almost a Century. And nobody is going to stop me from having it!"
Vegito suddenly realised that he had walked to the Watchtower's hangar. Taking advantage that the Hangar was big enough to hold one hundred space ships, he decided that this would be his training room. He took out the brown sac and put his hand in. Using his hand, he tried to find the small capsule, which he had retrieved from the cave when he looked for a Bean to give the Martian, after his accidental 'mental blast'.
Finding it, he took it out and pushed the press-button. He instantly threw the capsule to the ground, and in a second a big 'PUM' was heard. Now, in front of Vegito, standed a big white circle ship, with Capsule Corporation's Logo on it and almost ten windows on the outside. He went to the entrance and press a red button, wich opened the door.
He entered and teleported to his bedroom. He saw the marble jars and sighed in relief. Nothing had happened to them. He instantly teleported to the main room again. He took off his Gi's upper clothes, with the exception of his gloves. He went to the gravity computer, ready to set it on, with the gravity augmented one million.
"Right now, I don't need to think about my fight. Even if it takes days or months, I know I'll have it!" Vegito thought, knowing that someone would come to Earth looking for trouble. But if it fought Vegito, it would only find one thing: its Death.
Notes from Chapter 6:
More information about the 'worm hole' and the 'Earth bombardier' will be said on later chapters.
The 'cave' on Smallville, was the one used by Superman in the tv serie 'Smallville'.
I don't know the sound when a capsule is activate, so I invented one.
Vegito's flashback, ended before he had started fighting Darkseid (if you want more information, read Chapter 1)
Vegito was not totally angry with the Kais, when the Earth exploded. He got angry later, when they refused to use the Dragon Balls and when they refused him to go the other universe.
When Vegito was choking the Old Kai, he only released a bit of his Super Saiyan power, but he didn't transform.
I don't know if Saiyans can survive in space, but mine does.
Well, Vegito still has more information to tell to the League, and a mission to fulfill, too! Maybe one of the Leaguers will be the opponent he was looking for, but one thing is sure: Vegito WILL fight someone, at any cost. Let's see if he can found an opponent on the next chapter!
