Vegeta: Past and Future Redone

By Daniel of Lorien

            Vegeta was sitting on a small cliff out in the middle of nowhere; he was trying to push his energy level up to the next stage of Super Saiyan-jin.  After watching Kakorat's kid do it and then destroy Cell he was now quite sure that he too could obtain the same power.  He just had to push through the door, but it was so hard without the anger and pain. 

            "I need to drag out all the memories!"

            Flashes of his childhood, if you could call it that, burned through his head.  The destruction of his planet, and ultimately his life, but the anger wouldn't come.  The responsibilities he now had seemed to sap his anger away.  Not even Bulma could piss him off enough to totally lose it. 

            "What I need is some fighting.  Real life or death fighting."

            Vegeta sighed and stood up looking and the setting sun before taking off back to Capsule Corp. HQ.

            Goku looked down on Vegeta and turned to King Kai, "Isn't there anything we can do for him?  I mean what about sending him to a dimension that doesn't have Z-Fighters?"

            "No wayyyy-ait" King Kai stopped mid-sentence.  "Wait a minute," he paused thinking it over, "That might just do the trick for that devil.  I'll do that, but only if he agrees!"

            "There is no way he wont!"  Goku said with his stupid looking smile.

            Vegeta was getting out of the shower when he heard the voice,  "Hey Vegeta, guess what?"

            "Eh?  Kakarotto is that you?"

            "Yeah!  It's me.  King Kai just agreed to send you to a parallel world were no Z-Fighters are and you can fight to save Earth by yourself against all the people that have attacked us!"

            Vegeta smiled, which is like most people jumping for joy.  "Yeah sure, I'm game.  When can I leave?"

            "Right now!  And the thing is that you'll come right back at this exact same time without having aged a bit!"

            "Um, can I get dressed first?"

            "Um… Sure Vegeta just tell us when your ready."

            Vegeta moved over to his closet, moving slowly to let everything sink in fully.  I'm going to a world were only I exist as the ultimate fighter?  Then that means that I can get my revenge from Freeza and Cell!  He hurly put on his fighting Gi and looked up.

            "I'm ready!"

            A brilliant light engulfed Vegeta until he seemed about to burn from it and then he was gone.

            He had felt something similar to this one time, when he was wished back to life after dieing at the hands of Freeza.  But this, he knew, was different.  Slowly the world faded back into vision and he got a chance to look around.

            He let his senses roam trying to pick up the Ki signature of anyone he knew.  He felt Krillin's and Yamcha's.  Stretching out more he felt one that was oddly familure.  He filed that in the back of his mind as he floated up into the air to get a look around the country.  Suddenly he looked at were his house should have been and gasped as he beheld the destroyed Capsule Corp.

            "What?  What is wrong with this world?  Were is Bulma and Kakarotto?" 

            Vegeta shot out his mind feeling for anything.  Slowly powerful people started to pull into his minds radar and then large groups of them.  He sucked in his breath and the Ki signatures. 

            "Saiyan-jin?  How?  Could we have fought off Freeza in this time line?"

            He sped off to the city of Saiyan-jins that he had felt.

            He landed just outside the city and pushed down his Ki so that the Saiyan-jin who lived her could not see him on their scouters as anything other than human.  He walked slowly toward the city letting the familure sights of a completely Saiyan-jin city soak into his head. 

            "Hey you!"  A voice yelled out at him.

            Vegeta turned around to behold a huge Saiyan-jin who had his tail lazily wrapped around waist.

            "Who are you?  If you are a spy for Freeza I hope you know that none have yet lived to get out of this city!"  A small smile formed on his face.  "Even the Ginyu Force died when they assaulted this city."

            Vegeta smiled and asked, "Were are all the human?  What did you do to Capsule Corporation?"

            The Siayan-jin's eyebrow twitched slightly and he looked at Vegeta like a dog looks at something that is completely abnormal.

            "Have you been living in a hole somewhere for the past year?  The planet Vegeta got blown to bits by Freeza and only Bardock's quick thinking and sudden power-up to Super Saiyan-jin was enough to convince us to leave the planet secretly before Freeza destroyed it."

            Vegeta frown, "Yes that is all good, but you didn't answer my Question!"

            The Saiyan-jin frowned at Vegeta and then smirked.  Those who did not want to join us ran away or died fighting us." 

            Vegeta thought on this, but a large explosion, that rocked the south side of the city, interrupted his thoughts. 

            "What the hell was that?" Vegeta said and floated up to get a better look at the explosion.

            He looked down at the siaya-jin staring up at him in awe.  'He must see my power level.  I haven't even powered up.  This is just my standard power level.'  Vegeta smiled down at the man and then zipped off toward the explosion.

            About a dozen Saiya-jins lay dead on the ground as two young twins walked slowly through the wreckage.

            "18 do we really have kill them so fast?"

            The young woman looked up at her twin brother and sighed.  "Come on, we are here to defeat these monkeys not to play around."

            The dark haired boy frowned and continued to walk next to his sister.  They came to a group of fighters.  These were stronger than the last, maybe strong enough to be elites.  Both of them smiled and blew the small group away.  All that was left to see was a few charred bones and some of the flesh that was blown out of the blast.

            "How can these creeps have beaten 19 and 20?"  18 asked with a sigh.  "They are so weak it isn't even worth an effort.  I wonder…" she let the sentence fall as she saw a small patch of roses that were growing out of someone's personal garden. 

            18 brushed the buds softly with her fingertips, she sighed as her mind wandered to the man who had freed them from their tombs.  Somehow he knew that they were meant to help Dr. Gero rule the world, but he had hoped that they would be reasonable like 19 and 20 were.  Krillin was his name, and he led the resistance against the Siaya-jin.  Though she had seen no sign of hostility from the Siaya-jin race, Krillin had assured her that they had no choice but to make this their new home and as soon a Freeza was finished that they would turn against the humans.  He had said that why holding the hand of that clueless woman, Marron. 

            "Earth to 18, this 17, the ship has landed and many aliens are about to attack."

            18 turned around to look at the new batch of Siaya-jin who had just arrived.  But those did not interest her as much as the small kid who was watching behind the building.  One of the Saiya-jins stepped out and put out a hand.

            "I am Bardock, King of the Saiya-jins.  Why do you attack us?"

           

            Vegeta froze on those words, 'Bardock?  King?'  Not possible unless… He really did obtain the level of a Super Siaya-jin.  'Even so,' Vegeta thought, 'He won't be a match for 17 and 18.'  Slowly Vegeta began to descend.

            17 stepped forward and pointed a finger at Bardock.  "We were sent here to destroy you by Bulma and Krillin.  As they are the ones who freed us from our icy tombs we owe them this."

            "Though it isn't logical to fight you now," 18 interjected, "The humans see you as a potential threat after you have finished Freeza off."

            17 smiled at Bardock and shot a small beam of light at Bardock.
