Chapter 14

Today was one Kakarot's most important days. He turned 18 years old today. As in the result, he became legal to mate any Saiyan, but according to the laws of Planet Vegeta, the submissive Saiyans could not choose a mate. Only dominant Saiyans could make the decision to select a mate.

But, it did not make any sense. If Frieza was not Saiyan, then why did he choose Kakarot? Kakarot remembered that King Vegeta and Bardock wanted him to be mated to Prince Vegeta, but he could not remember the reason why they wanted this. Was it because King Vegeta and Bardock were close friends and wanted to encourage their children to be mated? Or was there a different reason?

Hissss! The space pod was opening. Kakarot took a deep breath and was more than surprised at how much he loved the natural scent.

After coming out of the space pod, he scanned the area. It was quite different from other planets he had been to. It was completely opposite from Planet Vegeta. The sky was blue and the land was full of trees and furry animals. Maybe if he wasn't in such hurry to leave his home planet, he would have at least gotten information about which plant or animal is edible.

He had eaten plenty on the trip anyway, so the first thing on his mind was to find this planet's strongest opponent. His heart rate was rising as he excitedly thought of fighting someone new and powerful. He did not wear his scouter often because he already learned how to sense ki from one of the Namekians before their planet was destroyed.

If he remembered correctly, King Frieza mentioned something about a tournament taking a place on this planet.

He snapped his head to the left as soon as he sensed an approaching presence. Did he get discovered by someone?

"I knew it. You're not from here."

Kakarot glanced up at the blue sky, following the stranger's deep voice. He raised an eyebrow when he recognized a race of this stranger. "Namekian?"

"Not even a minute here, and you already know what I am?" Piccolo crossed his arms with his confident scowl on his face. "Whoever you are, get off this planet."

"Not yet," Kakarot lifted himself into the air until he was at the face-to-face with Piccolo. "I'm looking for the strongest warrior here. Then, I promise I'll leave the planet alone."

"You're here for fun?" Piccolo smirked lightly. "Look, I don't trust you –" His smirk faded away as soon as he spotted Kakarot's monkey tail wrapped his waist. "…that tail…"

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm a Saiyan," Kakarot bowed his head. "It's nice to meet you! Name's Kakarot from Planet Vegeta!"

"Vegeta, eh?" Piccolo narrowed his eyes in confusion. There was another person who had the same name. He even had the same monkey tail too.

Kakarot blinked in confusion when Piccolo gave a light chuckle. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Piccolo said. "You're looking for the strongest warrior, right? You have to go through me first."

"Wait, there's someone stronger than you? Wow! I thought that you were the most powerful!" Kakarot exclaimed. "I'm so excited!"

He's opposite of Vegeta. Piccolo thought to himself. If he is a Saiyan, then I wonder if he's as strong as Vegeta?

"Ready or not, here I come!" Kakarot charged at the Namekian.

~~ROAR~~

The first round had recently ended. Unfortunately, Yamcha was eliminated in the first round. For some odd reason, he had always losing in the first round every time he was in the tournament. They wondered if it was some kind of curse. Anyway, the rest of the warriors made it to the second round. They were Vegeta, Tien, Krillin, and five other fighters.

Vegeta was about to face Jackie Chan, who was actually a disguise of Muten Roshi for the second round.

Right before the announcer could declare the "Ready? Fight!" statement, they heard a loud explosion nearby. As soon as the citizens realized what was happening, they were all running for the exits, making the crowds even tighter.

"What was that?" Krillin asked.

"I'm going to kick his ass for interrupting my match," Vegeta growled lightly. As a proud Saiyan, he loved fighting. He had always known how to fight ever since he was probably a toddler.

"Wait," Tien said. "It's probably another enemy from the Red Ribbon Army. Remember how we almost lost to Commander Red two years ago?"

"Yeah, it's thanks to Vegeta. He destroyed the base completely," Krillin nodded his head. "But, that's only because they interrupted his lunch…"

"We act as decoy," Tien said. "Then, Vegeta will strike. Sounds good?"

"Hn, fine," Vegeta crossed his arms. "If I sense that something's wrong, I'll jump right in the battle. Plan or not."

"Alright!" Krillin exclaimed. "It should be a piece of cake!"

It did not take them along before they arrived at the destination just in time to watch the furious battle between Piccolo and Kakarot.

It was only a few seconds after they got here when Kakarot sent his blue energy ball which crashed into Piccolo who cried in pain.

"Piccolo!" Tien quickly took off into the sky. "I'm helping out!"

"Shut up! Stay out of my way!" Piccolo snapped. He wiped his bleeding lips. "He's way too powerful."

Kakarot blinked innocently. He could have fooled anyone with his innocent face if he were not here to fight anyone. "Is that him? The most powerful on this planet?"

"No," Piccolo scoffed. "Tien, aren't you supposed to be at the tournament winning a prize?"

"Actually, we got distracted by your battle. The tournament was put to stop anyway," Tien shrugged his shoulders. "So, who is that guy? He doesn't look a bad guy…"

"Don't be a fool. He is stronger than he looks," Piccolo said.

"He is?" Krillin joined them in the air. He noticed something different about Kakarot. "Hey, he has the same tail as…!"

"His name is Kakarot. He is a Saiyan from an alien planet," Piccolo explained carefully. He did not want to mention the name of the planet or else other warriors would have jumped to the conclusion stating that Vegeta might be an enemy too. "Is Vegeta here?"

"Yeah! He is waiting down there with Yamcha," Krillin said. "But that guy… what purpose does he have here on Earth?"

Kakarot whistled cheerfully. "I'm here to fight the strongest warrior! But I like the challenge when it comes to fighting three strong guys!"

"That's it? No threat or anything like that?" Tien asked.

The alien grinned widely. "Your only one threat is me!" Immediately afterward, he charged at two humans and one Namekian.

"Holy fuck!" Krillin cried, as he barely dodged from Kakarot's strong fist. But he did not even see the next attack. Kakarot landed his foot on Krillin's jaw perfectly, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Your turn!" Kakarot quickly turned to Piccolo and Tien. "Ka-me-ha-me-ha!"

"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo yelled, as he shoot bright purplish yellow beam from two of his fingers.

Two powerful attacks were colliding with each other for a while until Kakarot's special technique started pushing further.

"S-shit!" Piccolo cursed at himself.

"That's it. I'm fighting!" Vegeta quickly flew up into the sky after checking on the unconscious Krillin to ensure that he was not seriously wounded. "Big Bang Attack!"

Much larger blue energy ball was shot from Vegeta's open palms and deflected Kakarot's Kamehameha attack which destroyed one of the mountains in the far distance.

"Eh?" Kakarot blinked in surprise. Nobody had ever stopped his special technique except Frieza. "Are you the guy Piccolo was talking about? Earth's strongest warrior? But you are…" He glanced at Vegeta's monkey tail. "You are like me…"

Vegeta narrowed his eyes in anger. "I don't have anything to do with you and your people anymore. If you're here for fighting just for the sake of fun, I'm your guy."

Before Kakarot could respond, he got punched hard in the face, being sent away crashing into thousands of trees. "Ow, ow!"

"Final Flash!" Vegeta yelled. But before he could hit his opponent, Kakarot quickly used the Instant Transmission to get closer to him.

Sensing his near presence, Vegeta quickly blocked a couple of Kakarot's punches. He tried to hit the tall Saiyan in the stomach with his knee, but it was also blocked.

"Go, go!" Yamcha yelled. "Vegeta, kick his ass!"

"That's all you can do?" Vegeta gave Kakarot a little smirk. "You're supposed to be the Saiyan. What a joke!"

"You're a jerk!" Kakarot growled in frustration. He had never fought an opponent who was almost powerful as Frieza. He threw another first, but it was easily blocked by Vegeta's palm.

He yelled, as he powered up with bursting blue energy around him. That sudden raising ki caused Vegeta to jump away from the stranger.

"Wait a minute…" Vegeta frowned. Suddenly, it felt so familiar to him. But was it even possible? Wasn't he supposed to be dead? "Kakarot? Is that you?"

Kakarot stopped powering up as soon as he heard his name. He raised an eyebrow. "Uhh… yes, I'm Kakarot. Why?"

"Are you the son of Bardock?"

Kakarot widened his big eyes. "How do you know my father's name? I never mentioned anything about him ever since I got here!"

Vegeta gave a small relieved sigh. "I thought you were dead for the whole time…"

"Who are you?" Kakarot pouted.

"You don't know who I am? And, you're supposed to be my mate?" Vegeta asked with a little sarcasm in his voice.

"Hey, you are an asshole – Vegeta? No way!" Kakarot exclaimed excitedly, as he flew fast to catch Vegeta in his tight hug. "Vegeta! I can't believe you're alive!"

"Wait, alive? What did you hear about me?" Vegeta asked.

"Everybody thought you were dead. But it doesn't matter anymore," Kakarot shrugged his shoulders. "I'm so happy that you're here!"

"Get off me! I can't breathe!" Vegeta gasped for air as soon as Kakarot let him go. "Geez, Kakarot! You haven't changed at all!"

"Hehe!" Kakarot laughed heartily and scratched the back of his head. They dropped down until they landed on the ground safely. "So, who are your friends? I know one Namekian named Piccolo!"

Piccolo gave him a deep scowl.

"What's going on?" Yamcha asked. "You know this alien?"

"Yes," Vegeta rolled his eyes. "One of the most annoying Saiyans I've ever met."

"Hey!" Kakarot yelled angrily.

"Saiyans? What is that about?" Tien asked in confusion. "This guy has the same tail as you… oh…"

"So, you're Saiyan too," Krillin said. He recently woke up from the unconsciousness when the battle between Vegeta and Kakarot was over. "But why didn't you tell us?"

"That's…" Vegeta hesitated. Oh great, there he was again. Hesitation. "Whatever. It's none of your concern."

"Vegeta!" Kakarot exclaimed in excitement. "You can go back and become the king!"

"King?" Krillin laughed loudly. "You must be kidding! I can't see how this guy can be king… are you, Vegeta?"

"No!" Vegeta snapped. "I mean, I can't be the king…"

"Wow! You are the king?" Yamcha exclaimed. "All hail to King Vegeta!"

"Shut up," Vegeta growled lightly, and then turned to Kakarot. "What are you doing here? Why are you here?"

"Like I said before, I came here seeking for the strongest opponent. Well there you are! But…" Kakarot frowned. "I need to talk to you. Something's happened on Planet Vegeta."

"Oh, my kami! You're also named after the planet?" Yamcha gasped.

"That's amazing!" Krillin said. "But anything you want to say, you can tell him in front of us too."

"Actually…" Vegeta glanced at Kakarot. "I think we need to talk alone."

Piccolo scoffed. "Even after he attacked us like that? Are you nuts?"

"He is my best friend," Vegeta said. "It's been long time since the last time I saw him."

"Oh," Krillin said. "That's fine… as long as your friend is no longer threat to us."

The Saiyans waited almost impatiently until the humans and the Namekian left.

"I had no idea you would end up here," Kakarot said softly. "I mean… everybody was telling me that you were dead…"

"And, they told me that you were dead too," Vegeta scowled at the fact that they had both been lied to. He still could not recall who told him such a lie. "You have many strong opponents on Planet Vegeta. Why did you come here?"

Kakarot smiled sadly at him. "Lord Frieza is now the King, now that you and your father are gone… but you're still alive. Our people have been overworking and starving. You have to come back and take the throne!"

"No, I can't," Vegeta shook his head. "I'm not wanted anymore…"

"How do you know? They thought you were dead!" Kakarot said a little angrily. "Our people are suffering because of Frieza and his stupid allies!"

Vegeta turned away from him. "It doesn't matter anymore. It's been eight years. By then, I'm sure they loathe me for abandoning them."

"I don't think so," Kakarot said firmly. "Please… you have to come back. Or else, he will be the king forever."

"Any other Saiyan can take him out," Vegeta said.

"Nobody is strong enough to fight Frieza," Kakarot said almost desperately. "I tried to gather a rebellion… but it was a disaster. I tried to save a planet, but I couldn't… Everybody around me was always dying. It was all because of Frieza!"

"I'm sorry," Vegeta said softly, as he awkwardly gave him a hug. He had never done that before. Except Bulma who always hugged him, but he never hugged back.

Before he could stop, they were purring at the comfort they were giving each other.
