Hello DBZ Fans! No, I do not own DBZ, or any of its characters. However,
after just two more payments I will fully own this computer!
In the other world, at Earth check-in station, two familiar figures stood with one hand each on the shoulders of King Kai. Behind them, the Grand Kai, the Supreme Kai, and the Elder Kai stood with somber expressions waited for King Emma to finish his research and speak.
"You know, I'm forever more amazed by his strength of character, after all these years, after everything that's happened to him, he still retains the same fierce pride he had the very first time we battled."
"I know Goku, it's one of the reasons I love him so much. I just can't bear to think that…."
Bulma's thoughts were interrupted by the booming voice of King Emma, "Ah yes…. It's all here… Oh… Oh dear… This is not good. King Emma looked up from his great book with a worried expression. "I have bad news. I know that Vegeta turned his life around, starting in his early 30's, but his terrible deeds before that time still outweighs the good deeds that he did after that time. And worse, some of the good deeds he accomplished were for self-serving reasons, which means that he only gets partial credit for some of them. I'm afraid that if Vegeta dies right now, I would have little choice but to send him to the HFIL.
Bulma's face fell, looking very close to tears. "Wait a minute, you said you would have little choice, what does that mean exactly?", Goku asked. "Well", continued King Emma "You have to realize what an extremely rare occurrence it is that a bad person turns good, or a good person turns bad in the middle of their life like Vegeta did." Although, "smirked King Emma "it seemed to happen more often with the people around you Goku." "Any ways, long ago a very similar situation occurred where I would have been forced to send an essentially good person to the HFIL. So, a new rule was added by the Kais that basically stated that, on the agreement of the Kais, they would meet to hammer out a redemption plan for the individual in question.
"A redemption plan?" Goku exclaimed. At this point, the Supreme Kai spoke up. "Yes Goku, the redemption plan is designed to try and undo as much of effects of the terrible deeds the person committed in their lives." Of course, they can't bring people back to life that they killed, or restore planets that they destroyed, so the plan is not perfect, but it does help the individual to "balance their account" in the Great Book. That is why you and Bulma and all of the Kais that oversee this quadrant are here. We, the Kais, will design a redemption plan, a listing of deeds Vegeta must accomplish, and you and Bulma will take the plan to Vegeta. You will have one hour to explain it to him before Bulma must return to the afterlife. "What about me?" asked Goku. "You will be assigned as Vegeta's "redemption guide", so to speak. Part of the redemption plan will need to be carried out in this dimension, and part of it in the his dimension." The Supreme Kai said. "Your duties are simply this, guide Vegeta where you can, but at no time are you to make decisions for him, or to physically help him in any way other than an occasional instantaneous transmission, is that clearly understood?" "Yes Supreme Kai", Goku answered. "Good, you understand that Vegeta must redeem himself, no one can do it for him."
At his point Bulma was looking at the Supreme Kai with an expression of hope. "If Vegeta accomplishes these tasks, he and I can be together? The Supreme Kai smiled "Yes, most assuredly, Bulma." "You will have one hour with him, to explain the plan. The hardest part will be to convince him that completing the plan is more important to him, and you, than his pride. Bulma's face fell a bit, "What do you mean?" "What he means is that certain items on the plan will require Vegeta to swallow his pride to accomplish them." The Grand Kai offered. "I see…. I will convince him!" Bulma said, quite determined to make the stubborn Prince of the Saiyans understand.
"Good then! We Kais should not delay any longer and draft redemption plan as soon as possible. In the meantime, I have told Porunga that he is not to grant any wish that Vegeta makes when he arrives on New Namek, and have contacted Murrai and apprised him of the situation. Goku, you will have one wish to make when you arrive on New Namek, we will tell you what it is before you leave. Goku, giving the patented Son grin and placing his hand behind his head asked, "Supreme Kai, I want to ask something about this plan guide whatchamacallit you want me to do." All Kais, Bulma, King Emma, and every spirit within hearing distance sweatdrop. "Go ahead Goku" the Supreme Kai said patently. "Well, I'm not exactly Vegeta's favorite person in the world, wouldn't someone else be better?" The Supreme Kai smiled slyly and said, "That's part of the redemption, my dear Goku." Goku nodded his head, not quite sure he understood fully, but for Vegeta'a sake he would give it his all.
"Okay then, if everyone is in agreement, and there are no further questions, let operation Vegeta Redemption begin!" The Supreme Kai announced. Taking hold of the other Kais, the Supreme Kai teleports to his planet to hammer out a suitable plan for Vegeta. "Bulma, you and Goku can stay at King Kai's house until you are needed" "Thank you King Emma" Bulma answered. Then she looked at Goku; "Do you really think this is going to work?" Goku smiled, "We're going to make this work!" Nobody else in the universe could have reassured her more than her oldest and dearest friend. She had always counted on Goku, and he had never let her down. She knew this would work now, no doubts. She place her hand on her friend's shoulder just as Goku IT'd them both to King Kai's planet.
