The Cursed Ones
(This is after the Buu saga but before DBGT)
Part I
In Goku's Time
It was a cold December evening as an odd looking girl climbed into a small helicopter. The girl had long black hair, black eyes, and was white skinned as snow. She got into the pilot seat and signaled a solemn thumbs- up to her friend Lestat, who was standind in the field beside the copter. He nodded and then rose slowly into the sky,waving good bye, his black hair waving. He called to her, "Good luck, Mekare! You'll need it!"
"You have never traveled back in time before. How would you know?" Mekare shouted over the ever growing sound of the helicopter's blades cutting through the air.
Lestat merely grinned, showing his fangs, and yelled back, "That's the point!" Then he shot out of sight by flying very quickly.
Damn him! He always gets the last word. Just because he was- Mekare's thoughts were interrupted as she realized now was the time to set the coordinates. 5:45 p.m./726 a.d. That was the time of the Z fighters, wasn't it? A sudden surge of extreme exitement hit her like a brick. She had been watching the TV show DBZ ever since she was five, and a tail sprung out of her behind. Now she was finally getting to meet them all in person!! Lestat, her fellow vampire friend, had found out of their existence by using his amazing psychic powers. Now she would be able to convince Goku, her main goal, to come back to defeat them. And if he refused, she would force him. By the TV show standards Mekare was a hell of a lot more powerful than Goku. She would be level 7 by now but she did not get a chance to train much.
The stars showed dimly in the sky. She held her breath and pushed down the lever to her right to increase speed. She was traveling down a long tunnel of light, waiting. Then, suddenly, silence. Mekare breathed again. I am right where I want to be. Now to find Goku. She could not help but smile as she looked at her surroundings. Mekare was in a small forest glade, behind his house. Ha. I'd bet my life Goke is somewhere enjoying his favorite pastime. Eating.
Mekare got out of the helicopter and walked over to the house. She could not believe her ears. Mekare heard Chi-Chi or Bulma humming and a voice that she wanted to hear very badly said, "Goff Chi-Chi, Oll never ge ushed poo or wunnerful cookig."
Mekare couldn't help it. She fell to her knees, laughing her head off. Sudden silence in the house. Chi-Chi came outside to Mekare, who was still laughing and gasping for air.
"Can I help you? Oh. I know exactly what you are laughing about. Care to join us? We are having lunch, though you obviously already knew."
"Hoo. Sure, I'm starved. Can I talk to Goku? It's important." Mekare said breathlessly.
"Of course. You may have to wait, though. My Goku is in the middle of a meal."
Chi-Chi led her inside to the table. Oh my god. Everything is the same as in the TV show. Except Goku ia a lot cuter in person. WOW!
Chi-Chi served her a large portion of spaghetti and meatballs. Mekare grinned and, just to prove who she was, began eating just like Goku. Plate after plate after plate. Chi-Chi smiled and said, "Another super saiyan."
"Oh my God. It's really you! Can I have your autograph?" she said just like an exited fan at a concert.
Goku looked up, a string of spaghetti stuck to his cheek. Mekare bit her lip and breathed slowly as so not to laugh.
"Another super saiyan, huh." He said skeptically. Then Mekare did the most daring and stupid thing of her life. She flat out mooned the guy, showing him her tail.
"AH! Now for that, you can't have my autograph." Goku blinked.
"Aaaahhhh! Just like a saiyan, no manners at all!" Chi-Chi screamed, outraged.
"You seemed to be able to like it enough to marry one." Mekare stuck her tongue out at her. Things were going better than she expected.
"You would fit in just fine in this family!"
Mekare turned to Goku, who was confused. "I don't get it." He said, putting on that adorable wide eyed look(. " I thought Vegeta, Trunks …"
"…Gohan, and Goten were the only ones, I know." Mekare cut him off. "But, like the future Trunks…" Goku was thinking how she could have known this. "…My name is Mekare. I am from the future in another dimension. To be exact, the year 2045, the United States, Planet Earth."
(Here Goku does that falling backwards thing) "2045??!! Gosh What level are you?!?!?"
Mekare grinned at him. "Oh, only SSJ6."
"WHAT?!?!"
Mekare heard a familiar mocking voice behind them.
"Hey Kakarot, what's all the fuss about? This harmless child didn't scare you, did she?"
Mekare realized he was talking about her and leapt at Vegeta angrily. An instinct, one that she could not control, took over. Vegeta realized too late her power. Her vampire instict kicked in and she grabbed his shoulders…
Oh crap!I've ruined the entire mission. Goku will never come willingly now… Mekare thought furiously, soaring as fast as she could away from Goku's house, where she heard Chi-Chi say, "Oh shit!".
"Wait! Who are you? What did you do to Vegeta?" An angry voice yelled at her, getting closer all the minute. Not looking back, Mekare went to level 4 and sped up a good length away from the furious Goku.
She thought, No. I will not run from this weakling, no matter how cute he is. She spun around in midair, forcing him to stop suddenly. He saw the blood dripping down her chin and almost fainted.
"Wait! I've got three questions for you!" He growled, that green leaving his eyes. "What are you? What did you do to Vegeta? Why are you here?"
"I'll answer all of your questions, but it's a long story, so you'll have to get comfortable."
Goku did this in midair and Mekare began her story.
"Goku, have you ever heard of a vampire? Didn't think so. Well, I am one. It's… rather hard to explain. We… are… not really living things. We have a heartbeat and a concience, but, we… live to kill, so to speak. We live off of human blood."
"So you killed Vegeta."
"No. What I did was worse than death. Although there is a 50% chance he will die. He may be like me soon."
"So…why are you here?" Goku said quietly.
"Well, in another time, place, and dimension, we need your help. I was sent by a friend because I am the only one capable of bringing you back whether you agreed or not."
"But why do you need me? You are far more powerful than I am. Why don't you just get rid of the problem yourself?"
"I am one of them. The threat is Akasha, the Queen of the Damned. She cannot be killed by another of her own kind. It must be someone who is pure of heart and a symbol of the Light. You were the first person I thought of."
"But how did you know I existed in the first place if you came from another dimension?"
"This may sound silly, but in my time you have your own TV show called Dragonball Z. I watched it ever since I knew I was a super saiyan, to learn from it."
"My own TV show? Who was in it?"
"Everyone. Even from your childhood. Emperor Pilaf, Frieza, Radditz, Piccolo, Kami, Krillin, Cell, and even the Red Ribbon Army."
"But, how did they know?"
"That isn't important right now. Now. I believe I have answered your questions clearly. Tell no one. Will you help us?"
"Why did you turn Vegeta into a vampire? Will he… be okay?"
Mekare grinned, showing her fangs, still slightly red. "He'll be fine. You did not answer my question. Will you help us."
"Yes. But first, I've got training to do. And I am making sure Vegeta lives."
"Since we all know Vegeta, for your sake, you better hope he dies."
They landed in front of the house again, and from inside they heard a cute voice say, "What happened? And where's Daddy?"
"I'm out here Goten!" Goku yelled. Mekare dodged behind a large oak tree.
"Daddy! What happened to Trunks's dad? He's really hurt, and no one'll tell me what happened. Mom won't even look at me. She just stares at the wall." Goten said, pulling at Goku's shirt.
"Mekare, come on out, no one can hurt you anyway."
"Their hateful stares will hurt enough. I can't go in there. Not after what I did."
Goten poked his adorable head around the tree to look at Mekare. "Did you do that to Trunk's dad?"
"Yes Goten. I did. But it was an accident. You believe me, don't you?" Mekare picked him up and put him on her shoulder, hoping to make a friend with the adorable saiyan.
"Yeah. Accidents can happen." He smiled at her.
"Hey Chi-Chi! Is Vegeta okay? Mekare told me everything." Goku went inside.
"Mekare is still here… she's got more nerve than I thought." Chi- Chi grumbled.
Mekare couldn't see what was going on, but she knew, for she had a limited amount of psychic powers. Vegeta was lying on a bed, two bite marks freely bleeding on his neck.
Bulma was leaning over him, looking at the marks. Trunks was standing in a corner, arms folded, showing no emotion. Piccolo and Krillin were staring at Vegeta, confused as hell. Just like the rest of them. Vegeta cried out in pain, a symbol that he wasn't going to die. He tossed and turned. Mekare could see what he was thinking. He was in so much pain he thought he would cry and it seem that he was, to him, falling down a black hole, helpless to stop it.
Then, his eyes snapped open. He was awake. Bulma asked frantically if he was alright.
He only grumbled, "Turn off the lights. What happened? Why do I feel so strange?"
Mekare walked in the room just then. She held her hand out to Vegeta, and he did something that astounded eyeryone. He allowed Mekare to help him up. He stood up, and then they both smiled. Everyone gasped as they realized Vegeta was like Mekare, for they saw his fangs. "Welcome to the World of the Damned…"
Mekare was explaining to Vegeta the things he needed to know, while Goku was explaining the legend of the vampires to everyone else.
"So Vegeta has become even more evil than he was in the first place? Figures." Krillin said sarcastically.
"This is weird, to say the least." Android 18 said, raising one eyebrow. "I'd be willing to bet my life on Vegeta trying to blow up the earth just to show Goku a thing or two."
"So Dad is even stronger than he was before? Cool!" Trunks said, coming into the scattered conversation.
"So Goku… Will you help this monster save her dimension?"
"I'm sorry to say I don't have a choice. She will make me come if I refuse."
"Hahahahaha! You're kidding right? Heh! A teenager forcing the strongest saiyan on Earth to help her! Goku! You don't know when to quit! Hahahaha!" Krillin fell to his knees laughing, but what Goku said next made him cut his laughter short.
"No Krillin. I'm not kidding. And since she came along, I am not the strongest saiyan. She is two entire levels above my power. She could easily force me to come with her."
Just then Gohan came back from school. He walked in, saw the look on everyone's face and said, "Something's wrong. What is it?"
Goku explained everything once again and after he was done Gohan said, "Well, this is a new one. Two super saiyan vampires. What could be worse? Where are they, anyway?"
"Mekare is telling Vegeta what he needs to know right now."
"What does he need to know?"
That is none of our business, son. I have training to do."
"So my power is increased a good deal right now." Vegeta said to himself after they flew to town and spent all day killing many people just walking in the streets. "Mekare. How much is my power level right now?"
"If you tried, you would now be SSJ5. A lot stronger than Goku, you will be happy to know."
Vegeta looked as if he wanted to kiss Mekare for this wonderful statement. "There's one other thing I don't understand. Why does Kakarot have to save your dimension? There are lots of super saiyans in your time as you told me. Why is Kakarot your only hope?"
"You are right Vegeta. There are plenty of saiyans in my time. But they are all like you used to be: cold ruthless warriors who care only about their strength and destroying life."
"Don't you criticise me smartass! I can't help but love my family!"
"Vegeta! Are you sure you are allright? I've never heard you say the "L" word before!" Mekare said mockingly. Vegeta aimed a punch at her, but she was expecting it and dodged it.
"Oh. We are back here. Good. I need to get back as soon as possible before Akasha destroys my home."
Oh. Hello Vegeta. Hello Mekare.I was just getting ready to go to the time chamber. Can you wait two days? I want to have some fun in case I don't come back." He said, winking at Chi-Chi, whose eyes widened and she blushed. Vegeta and Mekare just stared, lost for words.
"I believe I'll join you, Goku. I need to train too. I can't destroy The Queen alone, but maybe I can help." Mekare said solemnly. So together they flew off to the time chamber, not thinking of what Vegeta was now capable of. For the entire day/year they trained. Goku went up 2 levels, and Mekare went up 1 level. When they came out, Lestat was there waiting for them with a worried look on his face. Mekare had no time to ask him how he had gotten there.
"Hello Goku. You are exactly as I pictured you. I hope you have trained enough for I am about to tell you why you must be cautious when trying to defeat the Queen. Oh No. She is no super saiyan, that you can be sure of. But, saiyan or no, she will try to destroy you before you can blink, which she is quite capable of doing. She has telekinetic powers unlike you have ever seen, Goku. She loves to make mortals suffer. Her powers are indescribable. I only hope that you never find out what she is capable of doing. If you do, then you will already be dead."
"Well, I've died so much in my time I'd be used to it by now." Goku grinned his silly grin and said, "about 4, to be exact. It's nothing new."
"If you are ready I can take us all there." Lestat said.
For the first time, Mekare spoke. "We are ready Lestat. You know that perfectly well. I also taught Goku a very useful move. I call it the Blast of Desolation. Goku is…" she looked at him to make sure the meaning of this sank in. "…only to use it if things get hopeless, for it will destroy everything within a 10 mile radius, except those on Goku's side."
Part II
In Mekare's Time
"So this is where you live." Goku said, looking round at the huge skyscrapers and packed streets of New York.
"Noy a bad place…" said a voice behind them.
"Vegeta! How did you get here?" Goku asked accusingly.
Vegeta had no time to explain, as they heard…
"Lestat. So nice to see you again. It has been awhile since you awoke me from my eternal prison." An oddly sweet sounding voice spoke from behind them. Mekare spun around, only to be met face to face with The Queen of the Damned. She walked behind Vegeta and put her arms around him. "Lestat. Aren't you going to introduce me to this handsome saiyan?" She looked at Vegeta and kissed him on the cheek. He stared at her, unsure of what to do. "Ah, you think I am the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? How flattering. But, no time for introductions, handsome one. I have-" She glared at Goku "business to attend to…" Akasha stared at Goku, eye to eye. Mekare suddenly knew what she was doing. Goku stared at her dreamily, already taken in by her spell. He was ensnared in her beauty. This would lead to his demise if something was not done.
"Goku! Snap out of it!" Mekare ran up to him and slapped him as hard as she could. A tiny trickle of blood ran down his face.
"Right. Enough of this!" Goku then saw that he had no chance if he even so mush as looked at her.
"KAME-"
Goku's hair turned golden with a silver stripe.
"HAME-"
Lightning flashed from him, from his enormous power, as he got ready to hit her with all of his strength.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Akasha was hit with the full force of the blast, but Goku was lucky to have hit her in the first place. She skidded along the ground, then leapt up, snarling like a wild animal. She screamed to the sky, "I call upon the force of the tornado and the hurricane spray, I command you to destroy your foe!"
Goku looked upward, and was then hit by a massive punch in the face by Vegeta. He did not say anything, but Goku had enough common sense to know what was going on. Vegeta was… in love with Akasha! The Queen of The Damned!
Lightning flashed, thunder boomed, and tornadoes came toward them in the distance. And, with a swift motion, Vegeta grabbed Akasha and gave her a long kiss. Goku stood, staring and wide eyed.
"You little devil! I ought to destroy you, but you are a wonderful kisser, so-" She and Vegeta were French kissing again.
" Enough of this…BLAST…OF…DEEEESSSSOOOLLAAAAAATTTIIOOONN!" A huge spiral column of pure light and energy filled the air. The clouds turned an impenetrable black from Goku's power.
"Wait!DidItellyouhowtogetbackbecauseIwillnotbethereto-" Mekare's frantic words were cut off by a bright light that no sound came from. No one could hear or see anything. Mekare and Vegeta's agonized screams of pain could suddenly be heard, but the bright light did not fade.
Suddenly, the light was gone. The entire city of New York was not there. Only a barren wasteland with a few scattered burnt out buildings remained. As for the survivors, Goku was alone. He was suddenly scared. With Mekare gone, he had no way to get home. By destroying Akasha, he had destroyed his one chance to go home.
Bending down, he picked up a few fragments of charred cloth. All that remained of Vegeta, for now. He also found a gold ring, his one reminder of Mekare.
"Hello! Can anyone help me get home?" He suddenly had an idea. He would find other vampires. Maybe they knew how to get home. He rose into the air, left in a western direction, not knowing where he was going.
"Goku! Over here! Quick! Before the portal closes! It will take you home!" The Vampire Lestat was hovering in the air, standing before a hole filled with green light. He flew quickly toward it, hoping that Lestat was a guy he could trust.
Suddenly, he was standing in his front yard.
He heard a voice call out, "Goku! You're back! Goodness sweetheart! Your clothes are all torn up! Where are Vegeta and Mekare?"
"Sit down, Chi-Chi. It's a long story…"

"Oh. We are back here. Good. I need to get back as soon as possible before Akasha destroys my home."
Oh. Hello Vegeta. Hello Mekare.I was just getting ready to go to the time chamber. Can you wait two days? I want to have some fun in case I don't come back." He said, winking at Chi-Chi, whose eyes widened and she blushed. Vegeta and Mekare just stared, lost for words.
"I believe I'll join you, Goku. I need to train too. I can't destroy The Queen alone, but maybe I can help." Mekare said solemnly. So together they flew off to the time chamber, not thinking of what Vegeta was now capable of. For the entire day/year they trained. Goku went up 2 levels, and Mekare went up 1 level. When they came out, Lestat was there waiting for them with a worried look on his face. Mekare had no time to ask him how he had gotten there.
"Hello Goku. You are exactly as I pictured you. I hope you have trained enough for I am about to tell you why you must be cautious when trying to defeat the Queen. Oh No. She is no super saiyan, that you can be sure of. But, saiyan or no, she will try to destroy you before you can blink, which she is quite capable of doing. She has telekinetic powers unlike you have ever seen, Goku. She loves to make mortals suffer. Her powers are indescribable. I only hope that you never find out what she is capable of doing. If you do, then you will already be dead."
"Well, I've died so much in my time I'd be used to it by now." Goku grinned his silly grin and said, "about 4, to be exact. It's nothing new."
"If you are ready I can take us all there." Lestat said.
For the first time, Mekare spoke. "We are ready Lestat. You know that perfectly well. I also taught Goku a very useful move. I call it the Blast of Desolation. Goku is…" she looked at him to make sure the meaning of this sank in. "…only to use it if things get hopeless, for it will destroy everything within a 10 mile radius, except those on Goku's side."
Part II
In Mekare's Time
"So this is where you live." Goku said, looking round at the huge skyscrapers and packed streets of New York.
"Noy a bad place…" said a voice behind them.
"Vegeta! How did you get here?" Goku asked accusingly.
Vegeta had no time to explain, as they heard…
"Lestat. So nice to see you again. It has been awhile since you awoke me from my eternal prison." An oddly sweet sounding voice spoke from behind them. Mekare spun around, only to be met face to face with The Queen of the Damned. She walked behind Vegeta and put her arms around him. "Lestat. Aren't you going to introduce me to this handsome saiyan?" She looked at Vegeta and kissed him on the cheek. He stared at her, unsure of what to do. "Ah, you think I am the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? How flattering. But, no time for introductions, handsome one. I have-" She glared at Goku "business to attend to…" Akasha stared at Goku, eye to eye. Mekare suddenly knew what she was doing. Goku stared at her dreamily, already taken in by her spell. He was ensnared in her beauty. This would lead to his demise if something was not done.
"Goku! Snap out of it!" Mekare ran up to him and slapped him as hard as she could. A tiny trickle of blood ran down his face.
"Right. Enough of this!" Goku then saw that he had no chance if he even so mush as looked at her.
"KAME-"
Goku's hair turned golden with a silver stripe.
"HAME-"
Lightning flashed from him, from his enormous power, as he got ready to hit her with all of his strength.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Akasha was hit with the full force of the blast, but Goku was lucky to have hit her in the first place. She skidded along the ground, then leapt up, snarling like a wild animal. She screamed to the sky, "I call upon the force of the tornado and the hurricane spray, I command you to destroy your foe!"
Goku looked upward, and was then hit by a massive punch in the face by Vegeta. He did not say anything, but Goku had enough common sense to know what was going on. Vegeta was… in love with Akasha! The Queen of The Damned!
Lightning flashed, thunder boomed, and tornadoes came toward them in the distance. And, with a swift motion, Vegeta grabbed Akasha and gave her a long kiss. Goku stood, staring and wide eyed.
"You little devil! I ought to destroy you, but you are a wonderful kisser, so-" She and Vegeta were French kissing again.
" Enough of this…BLAST…OF…DEEEESSSSOOOLLAAAAAATTTIIOOONN!" A huge spiral column of pure light and energy filled the air. The clouds turned an impenetrable black from Goku's power.
"Wait!DidItellyouhowtogetbackbecauseIwillnotbethereto-" Mekare's frantic words were cut off by a bright light that no sound came from. No one could hear or see anything. Mekare and Vegeta's agonized screams of pain could suddenly be heard, but the bright light did not fade.
Suddenly, the light was gone. The entire city of New York was not there. Only a barren wasteland with a few scattered burnt out buildings remained. As for the survivors, Goku was alone. He was suddenly scared. With Mekare gone, he had no way to get home. By destroying Akasha, he had destroyed his one chance to go home.
Bending down, he picked up a few fragments of charred cloth. All that remained of Vegeta, for now. He also found a gold ring, his one reminder of Mekare.
"Hello! Can anyone help me get home?" He suddenly had an idea. He would find other vampires. Maybe they knew how to get home. He rose into the air, left in a western direction, not knowing where he was going.
"Goku! Over here! Quick! Before the portal closes! It will take you home!" The Vampire Lestat was hovering in the air, standing before a hole filled with green light. He flew quickly toward it, hoping that Lestat was a guy he could trust.
Suddenly, he was standing in his front yard.
He heard a voice call out, "Goku! You're back! Goodness sweetheart! Your clothes are all torn up! Where are Vegeta and Mekare?"
"Sit down, Chi-Chi. It's a long story…"
