Vejita opened his eyes as he adjusted to his surroundings. He couldn't help but feel at peace since him and Goku died. They both agreed on fighting to prove who was the strongest, on a abandoned planet, since they were in the last throes of their prime. To Vejita it was a good fight, no interruptions, no worries on family. Just a knock out, drag out fight. He looked up at Goku and just smirked.
"Good fight Vejita, it's a shame that neither one of us came ahead."
Vejita just snorted in amusement. To him it didn't matter anymore, he was always up for a challenge, and it was a dream come true when Goku suggested the fight.
"GOKU!"
"Huh?" Goku whispered as he turned his head towards King Yama's desk, only to see a flutter of white, then abruptly was tackled to the floor. Slowly skidding to a stop, he looked up to see Chichi grinning ear to ear on top of him.
"Did you miss me?" she exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around her husband, hugging him with all her might. She waited it seemed like eternity, for her to be reunited with her mate. Her wings fluttered around them excitedly as she tried to calm down a bit.
Goku just smiled and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. To have her greet him was soothing, knowing that she had never forgotten about him. "You bet I did. How long have you been waiting for me?"
Chichi sighed as she looked to Bulma who was still frozen in place beside King Yama's desk. "Since Bulma died. She wouldn't listen to anyone and demanded to stay here until Vejita arrived. After listening to her reasoning, I decided to do the same. I couldn't leave her here alone."
Vejita's ears perked up at the newly discovered information. 'Bulma waited for me since she died? That was over 40 years ago,' he thought to himself as he stared at her. Just the sight of her took his breath away. The mental image of their last moments was quickly wiped out of his mind, as his eyes devoured every inch of her. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he saw her wings start to shake nervously. 'My own personal angel.'
Bulma couldn't take the silence anymore. With a outcry that started King Yama himself, she threw her arms around her lovers neck, sobbing gently into the collar of his shirt. She could not believe that he was finally here, digging his hands into her hair, and pulling her into an embrace. Bulma lifted her head from his neck and looked into his eyes, missing their captivating hold. As if reading her mind, Vejita just smirked at her.
"Ahem...you two are holding the line up"
Goku looked up to see King Yama tapping a pencil on his desk. "Oh that's right, we have to be checked in to get into Heaven. As many times as I have been here I ought to know that by now."
Chichi slapped her hand onto her forehead and laughed. "Goku you would forget your head if it wasn't attached," she chuckled as she took hold of his arm and led him towards King Yama. She turned back to Bulma, and simply smiled. She hoped that his good deeds outweighed his evil ones, for Bulma's sake at the very least.
Pulling out an extremely large book, King Yama motioned for Goku to step forward. "We already know where you are going, young man. But rules are rules, so I need to scan through your history so that I can permit you to enter heaven." King Yama always smiled when he read over Goku's accomplishments and selflessness. As he came to the end of book, he sighed happily.
"Goku, for your good deeds you may enter heaven," he excitedly stated as he gave Goku his wings and halo.
Goku just smiled and turned back to his wife. "Ready to go?"
Chichi shook her head no, as she looked towards Bulma and Vejita. "Goku, I am worried. She is so happy right now. What if he doesn't get in? They will be separated for eternity, and I don't think Bulma can handle that."
Goku scratched the back of his head in confusion. "Why wouldn't he be admitted to heaven? He hasn't done anything bad since he was in his late twenties. Since then he has been neutral."
"Think about it. If good deeds outweigh bad, then off to heaven you go. If bad deeds outweigh good, its straight to the abyss. What good deeds has Vejita done?"
"He hasn't killed anyone lately, and that's always a good thing especially for him. But I think I am getting what you are saying," Goku replied warily, as he watched Vejita walk towards his fate. Vejita always amazed Goku, never allowed fear to take over him, and was always held his head high.
"Ah Vejita, lets hope the cards turn around for you this time," King Yama sadly replied, hoping that it would be different. He had grown quite fond of Bulma and her dedication. It was not every day he had company as of the likes of her. Each day they would spend talking about sights and debating over science. With a heavy sigh, he pulled out Vejita's book, and started reading over it slowly, making sure he missed no detail.
"Hurry it up. I have better things to do than wait here," Vejita growled, as he grew impatient for the verdict. The silence was wearing thin on his nerves.
"Vejita, shhh please," Bulma begged. She had seen many people lose their temper and King Yama sending them to hell, intolerant of disrespect.
Vejita just narrowed his eyes in irritation at his mate until he heard the book close. He turned his attention back up to King Yama. As his eyes locked with the guardians, he knew what his fate was.
"Vejita, I am sorry..."
Bulma's head snapped towards King Yama. "No...you can't...please..."
"I am sorry Bulma, his evil actions outweighed his good actions. Being dormant does not counter the evil deeds."
Goku couldn't help but speak up. "So you are saying..."
King Yama was filled with sadness as he spoke the remaining condemnation. "Vejita is sentenced to Hell."
"No, please reconsider. He has a good heart. I can vouch for that!" Bulma cried out. She didn't want to believe that she would never see him again.
"Bulma that's enough. He made his decision. Kakarotto, take care of her for me." Vejita gruffly replied. He would not allow his mate to see the sadness that shone in his eyes. At that given moment he would have done anything to change his past, but he could not. What was done could not be erased, and he knew that. Removing Bulma's hand from his arm, he smiled sadly, the first genuine smile he had ever given to anyone. He turned back to King Yama, held his head high, and nodded one time that he was ready.
"May they go easy on you down there Vejita," was King Yama's only reply as he opened the floor watching Vejita plummet to the abyss below.
Bulma cried out as she watched her lover disappear, it seemed only seconds had passed since they were reunited and for her it was too soon to be ripped apart again. She ran over to where Vejita had previously been standing and looked down watching him disappear into the darkness of hell. She looked up to King Yama with tears in her eyes. "Forgive me for what I do, he has a good heart. I know it, I have seen it myself," she declared. With one final look to Goku and Chichi, she leapt into the opening to hell.
"BULMA!" Chichi cried out, as Goku held her back from running after her. "Its not fair!"
Goku looked up to King Yama for some sort of comfort. He was met back with solemn eyes.
"Go after her Goku. I will see what the Dai Kaioshin has to say about this. This is truly terrible. She can only be down there for a maximum of a month, if she stays any longer she will not be allowed to return."
