The Book Of Destinies
By angel out of time
Prologue
Vegeta snarled at the lizard like monstrosity before him, he had trained for 21 of his 28 years to beat this thing and he hadn't been doing a bad job so far. He had pushed Frieza so hard that he'd had to resort to his final transformation. Frieza exploded with rage and pure energy, the light was blinding and the battlefield (one of the moons of a practically uninhabited planet called Namek) began to crumble and disintegrate. Finally the transformation was finished, Vegeta lowered his arms from his eyes and found that he wasn't impressed.
"So, your skin got smoother, you got shorter and maybe you think you look a little prettier but it's not going to help you Frieza, you're going down!" Vegeta growled
Frieza's face fell into a vicious snarl
"Stupid monkey! You cannot beat me, you are nothing!" Frieza calmed and smiled dangerously "besides, I bet you didn't know that my power level in this form is over one million?"
Vegeta's eyes flew open and his jaw dropped.
"No… impossible!" Vegeta froze to the spot
'I may be in trouble here!' he felt frustration and anger like none he had ever felt before, he had to beat this monster now otherwise he would surely perish! And then who would avenge his dead race, his destroyed world and his disgraced father? Vegeta felt on the verge of tears as Frieza began to beat him savagely, choking him with his tail. For all the pain Vegeta was in right now, he knew that it was nothing, Frieza was toying with him, torturing him, this was not an honest fight, and he would die without honor.
"Noooo!!!" he screamed in rage as Frieza tossed him to the floor, leaving him gasping for breath on his hands and knees "all cannot be lost! I will beat you Frieza!!!!" he screamed like a pained animal and his immense fury burst out of him, forming a golden aura around him, he breathed in ragged drags of air as his hair flashed gold for a split second before he felt his heart pierced. He looked up to see Frieza smiling, his index finger pointing to the exact point on Vegeta's chest were the deadly beam had made contact, tearing through his cardiac muscles and sealing his fate.
Vegeta collapsed and prayed to the lost vegetasei that one day, a saiya jin could kill this monster.
"Stupid monkey!" Frieza laughed as he kicked the still warm corpse to the side and entered his space ship, anxious to evacuate the dying moon, which was now collapsing under the strain of what had just taken place.
Kami was meditating on his watchtower when it happened. His concentration broke and he felt, rather than heard, something calling to him.
"Popo, do you feel that?"
Popo looked up from his flower bed and blinked in incomprehension
"Feel what Kami? Are you alright?" he saw his beloved master sweating slightly, griping his walking stick until his knuckles turned white.
"Yes Popo, but I think something must be terribly wrong in the universe, the book of destinies is calling me"
"Oh no Kami! Is someone attacking the earth again? Poor Goku, he's just managed to settle down to a peaceful life, such a shame to have to disturb him again!"
"Now don't jump to conclusions Popo! I shall consult the book and then we shall decide what is to be done, Goku may have his peaceful life yet!"
Kami hastened toward the main temple of his watchtower, to the mystical room where, on rare occasions, he could consult the book of destinies. He closed the door to the room carefully behind him and walked quietly over to the stand, where he was surprised to find the book had already opened itself
'This must be a matter of great urgency!' Kami thought to himself as he placed his hand on the page, bracing himself for the rush of images and bits of conversations, the vague information from which he was to deduce the cause of this disturbance. Finally he looked up, this was a very urgent matter indeed, although Goku would not be needed just yet.
Down on the earth's surface, three old friends had gathered together the dragon balls.
"So what are we going to wish for?" said Goku, scratching the back of his head
Bulma sighed, 'how many times do I have to explain this before monkey boy understands it?'
"Goku, I've told you a million times already that we're wishing puar back to life remember that dog killed her?"
"Oh yeah! That's good, the dragon balls should always be used for important things like that!" Goku smiled idiotically
Bulma grimaced, remembering the time when she would have wasted their power on finding the perfect boyfriend.
"Sheesh guys will you calm down!" Krillin was massaging his aching head, they had been carrying on like this the whole time they were searching for the dragon balls and he was starting to get a migraine "I'm about to call the dragon!"
"Shouldn't we really wait for yamcha?" Goku asked but it was too late, the sky had turned dark, and lightning raged all around them, the eternal dragon waits for no man.
Suddenly a lightning bolt forked down right behind Krillin and Goku, they heard a scream and turned to find Bulma had been hit. She lay on the ground with smoke spilling out of her mouth.
"Bulma!!!" they screamed in unison, horrified.
Suddenly her body faded away and Kami appeared in front of them
"Kami??" they both shouted in confusion
"What happened to Bulma?" said Goku, furious that he hadn't been able to save his friend
"Yeah, is she ok?" said Krillin and then realized the stupidity of asking this question about someone who was blatantly dead.
"She will be fine, but I want you to make your original wish now and wish her back in a year's time, she is needed in the realm of the dead right now."
"Wha..? But why?" they both started but Kami had disappeared
"Ah well, best do what he says, there's no arguing with
God!" said Krillin and proceeded to make their wish to the eternally impatient
eternal dragon.
Goku shrugged and figured they would just have to wait a year to find out what just happened.
There you go!! The beginning of my new story, confused yet?? Ok so I know it's a little off the wall but you just have to imagine that we're back around the time when raditz came to earth, but he didn't turn up and the reunion went basically as planned.
What does Kami need Bulma for??? Oooh you'll just have to wait and see!!
