Sholio: Whew! What a review! Ok, just to address the constructive criticisms. Remember that Rogalle is still part and parcel of Roger's personality and Rogalle still believes that he reincarnated to become powerful enough to defeat Cordell. While Roger must have had trepidation's about permanently fusing with Piccolo (Chapter 57 is showing problems with that already) defeating Cordell takes precedence. I was afraid that people would get bogged down in the training chapters, I did try to make them as interesting as possible, but I believe that they were necessary to round out the new characters of our four redeemed Saiyans and to tie the story together. Perhaps I didn't need to be so windy. :c) Thank you for the incredibly detailed review.
Flameraven: Sorry about King Vegeta, but he is in a better place. :c)
As for the rest of you, as always, thanks for taking the time and effort to review. I have had one reviewer profess her love for me (Ok not really) and another reviewer promote me all the way from small time fic writer, to God level. Thank you for your confidence. :c)
Author's note: I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but in all of the excitement I completely left Trunks Jr. out of the battle. I will probably fix that, along with all the other mistakes, in a later rewrite, but for now we will assume that he decided to fight with one of the lesser houses and is currently on Namek 5 with the rest of the Saiyans. So for now. Oops! As a result, he will not be heard from much for the rest of the fic.
On with the story!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Gotenks, Bura and Roger landed on Namek 5 and power down.
"For all his power he never learned a teleportation technique." Goku said.
"Good! That means we can get in front of him when we need to." Vegeta said. "But what good would it do us if we aren't any stronger than before?"
Vegeta had quickly distributed the very last of his senzu beans to his fallen comrades after Cordell flew off.
"We have to risk a fusion!" Vegeta said as he looked at Goku. "It's time for Gogeta!"
"I thought you said no fusions?" Goku smiled.
"That was before the asshole was headed towards Bulma, and your mate, and every other person I.... I'm fond of you idiot!" Vegeta yelled
"Take it easy Vegeta! We will try a fusion, but it can't be you and I." Goku said sadly.
"Why not?" Vegeta looked crestfallen.
"Because I am only a Super Saiyan Five. At this point the fusion dance would produce a weaker warrior, not a stronger one. Besides, there is the issue of Shenlon."
"Shenlon?" Vegeta said.
"I am still fused with Shenlon. If I were to fuse with you, he might react." Goku said.
Goku concentrated for a second and the seven Dragonballs came to the surface of his chest.
"I'm sorry," Goku said.
"Oh.. It's really not your fault." Vegeta said. "What about Gotenks?"
"I'm not sure, we've never tried a two level fusion with the fusion dance before." Goku pondered. "All you can do is try."
Vegeta looked at Gotenks and they both nodded and separated themselves an appropriate distance.
"Fuuuuuu sion!" The two warriors bent towards each other with fingers outstretched, and they made contact.
*
"Nothing." Vegeta said calmly.
"I was afraid of that." Goku sighed. "The fusion dance doesn't allow two level fusions with the dance."
"What about Roger?" Vegeta asked. "He's fused but not by using the dance. Would that work?"
"I don't know, it's getting awfully crowded in there, but he has achieved Super Saiyan Six. Your fusion would do the trick, if it works. Goku said.
"Like you said, all we can do is try." Vegeta said.
"I'm willing if we can beat that asshole." Roger said.
"Are you sure you're not biting off more than you can chew?" Vegeta smirked.
"Probably. But I've never set it stand in my way before." Roger smiled.
"So Saiyan. I guess that's why I've always liked you." Vegeta said.
"Please, let's not get so mushy." Roger laughed.
Vegeta looked at his friend and smiled. "Okay then Mr. Hardcase, you ready for this? You'll have to shield the planet with that bubble of yours or it will blow."
"Yes, I'm ready." Roger said.
"Ok, power up!" Vegeta exclaimed.
Vegeta and Roger screamed their power into the night sky and became Super Saiyan Sixes.
Roger threw his ki bubble around both he and Vegeta the second he started powering up.
"Ok! Let's do it!" Roger said.
"Fuuuuuuu.... Siooon! There fingers touched and everything became transparent.
He was one person, one body, one mind, and that mind was connected to the very essence of the universe. He was aware, aware of the little Orion girl that had lost your dolly. He reached down and gave it to her. The Earth woman that was being chased by thugs, he reached and stopped the thugs. His mind was here, but also everywhere else all at the same time, and in every time as well. He was aware of the cosmos, of every molecule and the frequency of their vibrations. It was all energy, the primal stream of power and light. He wanted to join it, to be one with it, he had evolved and his place in the universe had changed, hadn't it? But didn't I have something to do? What was it? So hard to remember before I became aware. Who was I? What was I?
"You must go back you know." A disembodied voice broke into his thoughts. "They're calling for you."
"What? Who are you?" He said.
"I am Tao Kaioshin, don't you remember?" Tao Kaioshin said.
"Y-yes.. Sort of... Not really." He said holding his head.
"You are Rogeta. " Tao Kaioshin said.
"Yes! Yes! Rogeta! And I'm supposed to do something, right?" Rogeta looked around for Tao Kaioshin.
"Your destiny is to save the omniverse." Tao Kaioshin said.
"Yes! Cordell! I must stop Cordell!" Rogeta remembered.
"And your friends are counting on you." Tao Kaioshin said.
"Yes! How do I get back to them?" Rogeta looked around desperate to find a portal or door or something.
"You wish it. What you believe becomes reality." Tao Kaioshin said.
Rogeta concentrated for just a second, and was gone.
".....man we are really screwed now! They just disappeared and.... urk!!!" Gotenks was complaining when Rogeta materialized in front of him.
"My Kami! What power! Is this Super Saiyan Seven?" Goku stammered.
"I am Rogeta. This is Ultimate Super Saiyan." Rogeta said calmly "I see Cordell, he is about an hour away from Earth."
"Let's go get him then." Gotenks said excitedly. "He won't stand a chance now!"
"Never underestimate your enemies." Piccolo's voice spoke from Rogeta's mouth.
Rogeta lifted off and flew towards where the other Saiyans were busy cleaning up the camp and waiting for news of the battle. Rogeta spotted one Saiyan in particular and flew to her.
Yambia was taken by surprise by the sheer power of the man that was, in part, her husband as he reached out a hand and caressed the side of her cheek.
"I see in my mind that I am a father." Roger's voice alone spoke.
"Yes, of a son that you will be proud of!" Yambia said
"I will return shortly." Rogeta said
"Until then my love!" Yambia caught and kissed his hand, then released it.
Rogeta flew up to his comrades.
Bura flew down to the planet's surface. "I have nothing to offer this battle." Bura said and waved at the others.
"You do not have to come." Rogeta said to the others.
Goku and Gotenks looked at each other. "We should be there."
Rogeta smiled. "As you wish." Then put two fingers to his forehead.
Goku and Gotenks grabbed Rogeta's shoulders, and they were gone.

Scientists on Earth were going nuts. Their deep space sensors picked up power emanations that were off the scale completely. And there was a flash so bright from deeper in the northern quadrant that it put the Hubbell out of commission for who knows how long. When the light reaches the Earth, it will light the entire globe up like mid-day! Was it a super nova? What natural phenomenon could put out that much energy? And now, tracking stations show a small object heading directly towards Earth at a tremendous speed! Too fast to be a natural object like a meteor.

Bulma sat in her lab watching the screen of the universal ki tracker that she had built so long ago. She watched the battle, and then she watched Cordell take off and head for Earth.
"Okay, bad guy comes and destroys Earth. Nothing new under the sun." Bulma said to herself.
But then strange things started happening.
Vegeta and Roger's ki disappeared altogether, without a trace. Bulma checked the bond between her and Vegeta and found that he was still there, far away, but she couldn't seem to contact him.
Then it appeared a ki so huge that the machine could not provide numbers for it. It was completely above the machine's ability to measure. Then the ki began to come down, as if the person was suppressing it, it came down to the machine's range of measurement.
"My Dendi!" Bulma exclaimed as she looked at the numbers.
"What's wrong Bulma?" Abigail, Chi-Chi, and 16 came running into the lab to see what the excitement was all about.
Bulma explained what they were seeing on the screen.
Bulma turned as some paper started coming out of the wall. "The computer has analyzed the ki." Bulma said ripping the readout from the printer.
"Oh my! The readout says that we are looking at a fusion. Vegeta, Roger, Piccolo, Nail, and Kami are involved." Bulma was close to passing out.
"What is this other ki, it's almost as high isn't it?" 16 asked.
"I assume that is what the others are after. It's headed straight for Earth." Bulma answered.
"I stand no chance against that." 16 said.
"I know 16, we have to count on the others." Bulma said.

The Saiyans on Namek 5 had cleaned up the camp and loaded everything aboard the ES-19PX, which had arrived the evening before.
Bura was in a bit of a funk.
"What's wrong Bura?" Nappa asked.
"Those guys went off and didn't leave us one singe person that knows a teleportation technique! Do you know how long it will take to evacuate this many people using the spaceship alone it they don't come back?" Bura fumed.
"Somehow Bura, if those guys don't come back, I don't think it's going to matter." Nappa said. "We ate a meal when we returned. We have enough for another meal, and that's it."
"What? Nappa, are you familiar with local space? Is there a planet near-by that would have food." Bura said.
"Yes Bura, but they wouldn't exactly welcome Saiyans." Nappa said looking at his shoes. "We didn't make many friends before our planet was blown up. I suspect that many races celebrated that day."
"Well, we're not going to have much choice in the matter. We will wait for a little while, but you know as well as I do that Saiyans need food! If they aren't back within a day we will have to find someone and ask them for some food." Bura said.
"How many people can we get on the spaceship?' Yambia walked into the conversation.
"It was designed to carry 150,000 passengers comfortably. With all the seats ripped out, and using the agricultural compartment on the bottom floor, we could carry 350,000 without much comfort. Especially since Vegeta ripped out all but two of the bathrooms.
"I for one am not going to worry. Roger will be back here." Yambia said.
"I hope you are right." Bura said. "But I'm still going to plan for the worst case."

On The Supreme Kai's planet, King Vegeta and Gerald had gotten bored after the battle had stopped and King Vegeta made a ki ball and was playing catch with Gerald. King Vegeta was trying to find out exactly how strong the boy was and was slowly increasing the power in the ki ball every time he touched it.
Little did King Vegeta know that Gerald was doing the same thing.
"What's going on with the crystal ball?" Jessica complained.
"It's being jammed by all the energy that out there!" Rou Kaioshin said.
"Is Cordell that powerful?" The Supreme Kai asked.
"It's not Cordell!" Rou Kaioshin said, "Something else has entered the battle. I can't get a decent picture!"
"What could it be?" The Supreme Kai asked a bit flabbergasted.
"I don't know for sure, but I suspect that a couple of Super Saiyan Sixes decided to fuse." Rou Kaioshin said.
"What?!?! Is that possible?" King Vegeta exclaimed momentarily taking his attention away from Gerald.
The boy smirked and pumped as much energy as he could into the ki ball and tossed it back.
"I suppose, but I have no idea what it would produce." The Supreme Kai said.
King Vegeta turned back towards Gerald just in time to catch the ki ball, which glowed momentarily and exploded in the King's hands. It wasn't a huge explosion, but it was enough to blow the Kin's hair back and singe his skin pretty good. Part of the King's goatee was missing.
The other Saiyans present were busy trying to stifle their laughter, without much success.
"Oh now you've done it brat!" The king bellowed, I'm the damned king of all the Saiyans! You can't get away with that!" King Vegeta took off in pursuit of the rapidly moving tiny titan.
Gerald ran from the King and felt his father's ki, mixed with Vegeta's ki, and smiled.
Jessica also felt it, and smiled.
King Vegeta was laughing maniacally trying to catch the small darting child.

Cordell was flying towards Earth at a breakneck speed. He would enslave the Earth, and eventually turn them into useful demons, along with everyone else in the Mortal Realm.
Cordell looked up and screeched to a halt. Directly in front of him were two of the warriors he fought, and one that seemed familiar, but wasn't quite the same.
"You again! What do you want, more lumps? You know, I was hoping to keep you guys alive for awhile. You would make the strongest demons! But it looks like I'm going to have to kill you after all!" Cordell practically screamed.
"So that's why he didn't kill us before, I was wondering about that." Goku said.
"Me too." Gotenks echoed.
"Cordell, your reign of terror ends here and now." Rogeta said.
"You know, you guys need better writers, that line is so corny." Cordell scoffed.
Cordell raised his hand and aimed it directly at Rogeta's heart. "I'm killing you for improper use of dialog." He said as the fired.
Rogeta had lowered his ki to almost nothing after arriving ahead of Cordell. Now he raised it a bit. The ki attack hit him full in the chest and exploded causing Goku and Gotenks to cover their eyes. When the explosion dissipated, Rogeta stood there unharmed.
"Oh a tough guy!" Cordell said and launched an even stronger attack. Goku and Gotenks moved off to a safe distance.
A shock wave rippled through space but Rogeta withstood the test.
"Are you finished?" Rogeta asked.
"Not quite. " Cordell said as he began to power up. He took up a familiar position.
"Kaaa.... Meee... Haaa.... Meeee....." Cordell chanted.
"Oh great! It would figure that he would know that attack!" Goku said as he grabbed Gotenks and dodged behind a large planetoid.
"Haaaaaa!" Cordell let the blast go straight at Rogeta who looked as calm as a cucumber.
Cordell's entire face fell when Rogeta slapped the blast away and into open space. The blast was easily strong enough to destroy half a quadrant of space had it hit a planet. The blast would slowly dissipate as it traveled through open space.
"Is it my turn yet?" Rogeta asked calmly.
For the first time, Cordell tasted fear. Fear that his careful plan was coming apart before his eyes. "All those years of training and sacrificing! How did this creature get so strong!"
"You will not beat me! Even if I have to rip the fabric of this realm asunder, I will defeat you!" Cordell screamed.
With that, Cordell's eyes began to glow green, and his body began to grow. His skin changed to skin that one would find on an Alligator, and leathery wings sprouted from his back. His nose and mouth elongated from his face, and his eyes spread to either side of his head.
"Great Dendi what the hell is that?" Gotenks said.
"I don't know, but it's ki just jumped up a lot!" Goku said.
"Passed Rogeta's?" Gotenks asked.
"Yes, but Rogeta hasn't shown us everything yet, not by a long shot!" Goku smiled.
"Look at that!" Gotenks pointed as Cordell sprouted a long tail full of very sharp looking scales.
"He's becoming a dragon!" Goku said.
Even Rogeta was impressed. Cordell now stood as a dragon almost sixty feet tall from front paw to shoulder, and well over thee hundred feet in length.
"Now you will die!" Cordell's booming voice sounded in Rogeta's head.
