Rebirth of Heroes

Chapter Two
Reactions

They had finally managed to pull Bulma away from Vegeta's death bed as the Saiya-jin's body disappeared and he dropped in at the check-in station in Otherworld. They were in the living room, still in Capsule Corporations, sitting in the many chouches and chairs within the room. Trunks held Bran in his lap, and the young girl was curled up, her little body shaking with tears. Bulma was staring off into space, not believing that her husband was dead, tears falling unbidden. She was in shock.

Gohan watched Bulma, Trunks, and Bra helplessly. What can I do?

Chi Chi stood up and walked over to Bulma, giving her friend a hug. "It'll be ok, Bulma. He's not truly gone, you will see him again, but not for a long time yet."

Gohan stood up. I know what to do... "I'll be back in a bit." Gohan walked out of the room and down toward the labs. Weaving through the maze that was Capsule Corporations, he soon found his way into the Genetics department. He walked up to one of the lab stations and waited for the young man working there to pause in what he was doing and look up.

"How may I help you?" He said, slightly annoyed at being interrupted.

"Where is Doctor Kashi?"

"On her lunch break. She'll be back in about ten minutes. Wait in her office." He turned back to his work, ignoring Gohan. Gohan shrugged and walked to her office, sitting in one of the large, comfortable chairs. He settled down to wait, looking around at the holographic and picture displays about the room. New decorations. But, then again, she can't live in the same environment for more than a month, so I shouldn't be suprised.

15 minutes later

Kashi slipped her hair behind her ears, walking into her office, not seeing Gohan at first as she walked over to her computer and logged in. I'm late! How could i have been so stupid as to over-extend my lunch break? I guess that means I'm working a bit later than I intended today.

"Hello Doctor Kashi."

Kashi froze, looking over to the chair. "Gohan! Sorry, didn't see you there. What do you need?"

"Well, first I have some bad news to bring. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but..."

She frowned. "What is it?"

"Its Vegeta."

"Oh. His disease got worse, didn't it?"

"He..." Gohan's voice choked up as tears started afresh, his throat tightening as he tried to get the words out. "Just..."

"Oh Kami." She whispered, standing up and giving him a hug.

"Died." Gohan shrugged out of her arms, standing up to look at a display of a DNA strand. "That's not all I came for, though. Before he died, he asked for one last thing. Since Bulma is quite incapacitated right now, I came to you. His last request was that his DNA be taken and he be cloned, to have something of him restart without Frieza destroying his psyche and giving him a chance to live as he should have. I came to ask if you would like to start on this project."

Kashi ran over the current projects in her head, choosing which ones could wait and which could be given to other genecists. She ended up with only ten projects out of all of them that she would have to do herself, and all of them could wait until this was finished. "I'll get to work on it immediatley. However... For him to have a true soul you will either have to use the Dragon, or he has to be born as the rest of us were."

Gohan nodded. "We'll use the dragon. Oh, and how long until the twins are due? Do you know?"

"About three weeks. They should help Bulma jump back to the real world, but make sure you have your mother there, just in case."

"Right. Thanks." Gohan turned and left the room.

In the mountains close the the arctic circle, several thousand miles away, an embryo tank broke open, and a tall, mainly silver and black monster stepped out, fully grown. Unlike his older brother, he would not need to absorb anyone. He was much more sufficent. "Sklatve! Welcome. Finally, you are born. Vengence shall be mine!"

He stared at the Doctor with his pupiless green eyes in disdain. "Sure. Why not."

~*~*~

Gohan returned to the family room, looking over at the still-crying Bulma. Videl walked up to him, giving him a hug. "Hey."

Gohan frowned and wiped away her tears "You've never cried before, not even when your father died."

Videl closed her eyes and sighed. "Needless to say, I wasn't too fond of him."

Gohan grinned. "You're pregnant. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I knew you would figure it out for yourself. What do you think of him?"

"He'll be strong. Like his grandfather." Goku looked over at Gohan and grinned.

"So I'm going to have a little brother?" 5-year-old Pan asked, stepping out from behind Videl.

"Yes. That you will."

"Awesome! When??"

"About 7 months."

Suddenly, Bulma stopped crying and stood up. She turned and ran off to her lab. The Z Fighters blinked, and then after a few moments ran to figure out what she was doing.
