Chapter 13 – Happily ever after

The group had gathered around the older man who was awakening from his unconsciousness. The gray wolf began to shoot around him. But four super Saiyans managed to knock away the ki shots with ease.

"Ehm Hana, when did that happen?" Trunks looked at his lady friend in surprise. Vegeta had a smirk on his face and Goku looked proud. Hana grabbed the end of a braid and stared at it. A big smile appeared on her face.

"Talk old man, you are a Saiyan. What the hell possessed you to carry out an attack like this" to add force to his question Vegeta gave Puha another kick in the gut.

Puha the gray wolf begins to laugh hysterically. "Losers, it's already too late, your coordinates are out in the open. Everyone who ever looked for Saiyan blood is on their way. I've already won." He continued to laugh.

Suddenly a fist was planted in his face. Gine looked furious. "Answer! Why Puha. The king has spared your life. He showed you respect because you were a good warrior". She knew him; the older residents of the village seemed to know him too.

The gray wolf rolled onto his back and closed his eyes with a smile. "Oh Gine little girl, where is your guard dog Bardock? Oh wait he is dead "hysterically Puha started laughing with a hand on his forehead.

Gine wanted to attack him but Goku stopped her, Shaking no. Gine looked angrily at the older Saiyan. "The king should have killed you after what you did!" she shouted.

Prince Vegeta looked up at Gine "What did he do?" he asked questioningly.

Another resident of the village joined the group, Potato began to talk. "Years ago on the planet Vegeta this man believed only in elite blood. He shot in the abdomen four young women of low class. So that they could not procreate".

Gine began to cry "me too almost. If Bardock wasn't around he would have shot me too." Gine pressed her head against her son's chest. Goku looked angrily at the old man.

The old man began to laugh again. "Yes your watch dog brought me to the king. But he spared me. Fortunately I still had a good relationship with a general. And when the planet exploded he had escaped too. We were on the same page, and our plan was quickly forged. Exterminating the low class, the general pretended to be in touch with our own prince for this rule"

Puha stood up, still with a big smile on his face. "And look at you now! You could have grown into a big group but for the fact that all the low class would disappear you are small. But I couldn't resist, I wanted to see blood to. No one deserved to live anymore. Not after you just spared lives of the low class babies. You are all weak"

Vegeta grabbed the man by his throat. "Then you have now been found guilty of murder and highest form of treason. I will not be as forgiving as my father". And with a small gesture, the man's neck was broken and Puha fell lifeless to the ground.

Everyone looked speechless, Gine stepped up to the prince. "Thank you, Prince Vegeta" she whispered. "Where is the general that Puha was talking about?" he asked commandingly.

"That must be our first officer now; he lives in the big house in the middle of the village. He has not been seen since the attack of the bounty hunters began" Poteto took a bow to his prince.

Tyme`s fist began to shake "That`s because he was killed first" the man managed to say. "How could we be so stupid, quality over quantity, the biggest lie ever". Vegeta looked at his old acquaintance. "You were stupid in believing this at all. This is not Saiyan pride. And Kakarot and Hana are proof that blood results say nothing. Hard work makes for more result".

Guiltily, Tyme glanced at Hana and gave a deep sigh. Softly he whispered "forgive me daughter" but no one heard it. Meanwhile, Vegeta started a speech about how he was angry that everyone believed the lie. But also that everyone needed to get out of here. It was far from safe here.

Goku was seeking contact with the kai`s. They got a planet through. A small planet, green with lots of forests and only large wild beasts. The wild beasts provided enough of a challenge to satisfy the Saiyans` fighting spirit. The planet was a half-day's flight from earth, of course at light speed.

Before everyone went to the ships left behind by the bounty hunters, Gine grabbed Kakarot's hand. "Son, do you know what happened to Raditz?" Goku looked guilty and a little panicked. Vegeta joined them and crossed his arms and looked down.

"Raditz is no longer in this dimension. He made a mistake, because of this he died. I was not there, but I should have been. He was on my team". Tears ran down Gines face. "Thank you prince Vegeta, I can grieve now. I had felt for some time that he was no longer there. Thank you for the confirmation".

Hana and Trunks stood by their ship; he threw his arms around her neck and looked at her. She wrapped her arms around his waist, they began a kiss. "Uh what's going on here?" A puzzled Goku stood behind them. Blushing, Trunks and Hana looked at Goku, Vegeta, Gine with Okra on her hand.

Vegeta easily waved away Goku's perceptive question. "Since they had gone on a rampage together in a small village after big Red had visited." Goku was left puzzled. "How did you know?" asked Trunks in surprise. Vegeta laughed "You guys weren't exactly quiet. The two young Saiyans looked at each other embarrassed.

They walked into the ship but Trunks was pulled by the sleeve by Gine. She looked at him thoughtfully, and then at Goku "Is this guy any good?" she asked. Goku began to laugh "It's Vegeta's son, I think he'll be good". Quickly she let go of his sleeve "Sorry" she stuttered. Trunks laughed "Nothing to be sorry for, I'm just Trunks".

Trunks entered the coordinates of earth. They had agreed that the rest will go to the new location in advance. With team earth will first make a stop through earth to pick up all kinds of things for the village. Tyme and Potato were personally responsible for the safety of all the children. Okra insisted on staying with Gine and Hana.

A journey of two days followed. Gine listened to her son's stories. About his wife, children and granddaughter. But also about Grandpa Gohan and all the battles he had been in. Okra meanwhile had found a new hero, which was the prince of all Saiyans.

"We land in five minutes!" shouted Trunks. Next to him sat Hana. Gine sat a little tense; she would see her grandchildren for the first time. Vegeta walked out of the training room with little Okra following him. "I'm going to be super Saiyan later too mama Gine" he shouted as he showed off his muscle.

A large group of Z fighters awaited the group. The door of the ship opened. First Trunks and Hana walked out. Bulla flew towards them. Next came Vegeta, carrying little Okra on his shoulders. Everyone looked a little surprised. "Hi do you want to play?" asked Bulla to the little boy. And away they went.

Then Goku came with on his arm his mother. She looked around in surprise. "I would like to introduce you to Gohan and Goten your grandsons. Boys this is your grandmother". Surprised the two half Saiyans looked at each other they were thrown around the neck by a happy Gine. "Oh and this is my wife Chi-Chi and Gohan's wife Videl" Gine waved shyly. "And this is my granddaughter, little Pan" Gine had tears running down her face with happiness. Finally she had her family again.

"Hey where did Trunks and Hana suddenly go?" asked Bulma in surprise. Vegeta started laughing. "I think those two need some time to themselves. Together then, if you know what I mean".

Meanwhile arriving in Trunks' room the two young lovers were kissing each other; the red riding hood fell to the floor. "Don't you dare think you have to go again" said Trunks groaning. "No pretty boy. I'm home"

~~And they lived happily ever after. Or at least until the next evil foe.~~
