Wow...way to review Debido! I'm glad you like the fic my friend, I certainly am enjoying writing it. Sorry if the battles seem repetitive but It's hard to write a solid length chapter filled with action that's always new. So I do the best I can. I'll read back over the story and see what I've done and try to think up some new battle schemes to keep ya entertained! How's that for dedication to my loyal and avid readers!?! And Poetess you lazy bum! Bout time you got off yer arse and wrote more! Had a brotha nervous over here like I wasn't going to see any updates anytime soon! Great to have you back my dear. She's good, everybody read her stuff! And sorry if it took to long for Vegeta to get back in there, but I believe in strong story line and plot value, so he had to mope about for a while. Oh yeah and Poetess you didn't get those fleas from me my dear...must be some other wolf...*looks around suspiciously* Any how, back to the show!!

Vegeta cut through the air with focused eyes. They were unchanging as he felt the battles in the distance, set solid despite the churning inside his stomach. Anticipation seeped from his every pore, his every fiber of his existence like the rain rolling off his tan colored flesh. His knuckles were white inside the long gloves of Alexia, his grip tensioning. And with that he smiled, the bells of hell ringing out thirsting for the Sayain prince's return, thirsting for his vengeance. Waiting for him to once again arrive into battle. But not as the pathetic whelp he once was. No, he was proud again, his perfect flying posture imposing with every ripple of muscle through his fighting ghee. Through every shimmering flash of the long white silky gloves he wore, and every movement of his brown mane in the sky's gusts. He could only smile to himself as the heavens seemed to grow darker the closer he came to his destination. His fate, it was there waiting for him, and Vegeta was never one to disappoint. He pushed harder screeching into the distance.

Goku fell harshly into the planet once again, pushing up ever so slightly, as Terra leapt over his shoulder again in an angry assault of punches in her general direction, following with a spinning kick towards her former master, Alexial ducked one after the other before catching her foot laughing, Terra flipped out of it blasting several ki blast as she spun, one per revolution. All of them were batted away rather effortlessly.
"God this is getting boring..."
17 made it interesting with a sneak shot to her spine. How she ignored the rowdy android was beyond her, one would guess in her ultimate status she had gotten cocky. It mattered not as she slowed her self down as she approached the grounds of battle, swinging her feet underneath her setting down gently onto the grass. She smiled as the warriors all began to pull themselves up...the ones that could anyhow. The line was thin. Yamcha and Tein had been out for the count, and Goten didn't look to be in fighting shape either. He laid there in his mothers caring lap with a string of blood dried from his lip, black ghee shredded and blood covered. Trunks wasn't that much better off. His tank top was gone completely and the use of his left leg was a no go. He could barely hold his level 2 energy as the electricity gave a weak flicker. Pikkon wasn't that bad off, just several deep cuts and bruises. Such was that of the android and the cat lady. Piccolo and Krillin were on last legs, much like Gohan and Videl. Roshi tried his best to battle when he could, but wasn't very effective. Behind his leg sat Mr. Satan, he was remarkably unscathed during the whole ordeal, bumbling around the battle as usual, catching the save from a beat up Buu, or other Z soldier at certain points. The eye of the storm was none other than Goku. He stood there bloody yet hardly damaged glaring hard into the face of the woman. Clutching his fist tight screaming out in reprisal, before continuing his attack again on the demon in the middle of the bull ring.
******
"Kakarot...keep everyone up till I get there!!"
He pressed again, going as fast as he could without burning off too much energy
******
Goku planted a raging back hand to her jaw, continuing his motion with a solid left, staggering her slightly before locking into battle with her again, ringing off with blazing attack after attack. She gained an instant advantage grabbing him by the throat, choking the life out of him. Goku grabbed her wrist turning on his energy pulling her hands away struggling with all his worth, finally breaking away planting a forearm to the side of her head. They locked into combat again. Goku fighting with a solid sense of renewed purpose, over whelming her again. kicking her hard in the hip, before rolling into an opposite shot to her rib cage. She singed in pain as he pounded rapid energy blast after energy blast into her frame, causing her ascension to the planet ever so slowly. He continued in an unrelenting will until she sat flat footed on the planet in a full defensive mode. Goku took off again, draining a blow into her gut, toppling her over in pain. She countered in kind blasting a upper cut to his chin followed by a set of solid jabs, before they locked up in a game of who can hit the hardest. Each on landing mirroring blows to the other, grunting with agony as they went through every exchange. Goku soon got the better of her dropping under her punch distributing a stern kick to her lower abdomen. He rose slightly above her, drilling another kick to her causing her to scud in reverse on her back, resting finally in a mound of rubble. Goku only landed on his feet. He watched her as she stood in frustration. How was he able to get in so many good shots when the others could not?
"Can't beat 'em...compress 'em!!"
She held her hands out in front of her summoning a dark fuchsia of energy. Goku looked at it in curiosity as she unleashed the blast at him. The speed of the blast was crazy, he had time for one thing.
"Kameahameaha!!!"
He shot the blast in an attempt to deflect the attack, but only to no avail as her ray turned a pale gray consuming Goku with a blinding flash, and just like that the Sayain was gone.
******
Vegeta halted abruptly. He gave off a gaze of shock.
"Kakarot...where did you go!?! Dammit all!!"
He continued there twice as fast as before.
******
"DAD!?!?"
"Lost in time child..."
Gohan looked hard at the spot where Goku once stood. They all did, taken aback by how quickly Alexial flipped the script. Alexial began to laugh slowly as Gohan turned his power back on. Gohan screamed in battling hard, followed by Videl.
"No get back Videl!"
"This concerns...me...too...Gohan!!"
She fought wildly causing Gohan to back off as Alexial dodged everything the spunky warrior tossed at her. Videl fell into a sweep causing Alexial to hop back. It was then Videl forced a deep kick at her head landing it cleanly.
"Got her!!"
Mr. Satan pumped his fist cheering for his daughter. He was so proud of how strong she had grown, and that she was at least somewhere in the same ball park as the rest of the warriors that stood around him. Videl on the other hand had a look of panic stricken across her visage. Her eyes lost their sparkle as Alexial held her head cocked in the position upon which she put it. A dark smile crept in as Videl floated back still shocked. Alexial was safe and sound, un-phased by the mach kick to her temple. Gohan raged in on an attempt to protect Videl, jabbing at Alexial rapidly. No contact was made. Alexial continued to laugh under her breathe as Trunks and Piccolo hopped after her next, both of them weakened. Both giving there all, both left in the same shocked predicament. For Piccolo it was a bad flash back. It was fighting Frieza all over again. Swinging and missing horribly at a superior fighter. Slowly it was becoming obvious. The battle was lost. Goku seemed to be the only one that could plant a clean blow to this monster, what could they do? She gave a daunting jab to Piccolo's gut, smashing him hard to the planet. Trunks continued to fight faintly, missing badly. She toyed with him, catching a fist then releasing him, giving a chance at another attempt to shut her down. She finally grabbed his wrist dangling him as he sat in a weakened state.
"Ah well, time to start with the slaughter."
She cocked a hand back preparing to run him through, only to catch a pair of stones to the back of the head. She shot a glance over to the attacks source. Children?
"You leave my brother alone!!"
Bra picked up another rock chucking it at Alexial's head. The older Marion stood behind her doing much the same. Alexial's eyes narrowed as each stone bounced off her. She tossed Trunks down onto the ground, giving the tiny subjugators her undivided attention. She expeditiously created another fuchsia energy wave. The two children turned to run causing them to fall down in terror.
"NO!!"
Krillin tossed himself on top of the two children preparing to take the full dosage of her attack. He turned back only to see Bulma standing in front of him with her arms spread, chest stuck out.
"Bulma..."
"I won't let you go out like that Krillin..."
The blast was unleashed at a blinding speed over taking their bodies, they too were gone. Alexial laughed turning back to the remaining warriors. 17 attacked again along with Terra and Buu. Alexial screamed out with rage batting them all away.
"You'll pay for that!"
Alexial looked up as 18 delivered a grand attack to her face, fighting with tears flowing from her eyes. Her brother down and hurt. She swatted a massive blow to the goddess knocking her away in the distance before flying down to her brother.
"Alright where's my mop!"
Chi-Chi ran inside as Goten slowly pushed himself back up. Before everyone could regroup Alexial was back floating in the air with a searing fuchsia light around her.
"TIME....it ends here..."
She began to laugh as every one prepared for a final attack. Alexial tossed her hands and left out screaming in rage as the fuchsia exploded from her body engulfing everything.
******
"The hell!?!"
Vegeta's gloves began to glow a shimmering white as he tossed them up before being covered in staggering energy.
******
"Hey what's that?"
The people gazed out their windows at the towering light in the distance. They weren't sure if they should be frightened or just amazed. The didn't get the chance as the blazing colored light took over there very existence.
******
"Wha...Koren what's that!?"
"Our end..."
Koren looked over at Popo and Yajerobi not resisting as they to were over come.
******
"Elder! There's a light coming from Earth!!"
The people of new Nameak shuttered in fear as it neared closer to them. And just like everything else...
******
"Oh sure they can beat us but they lose to a simple woman!"
Cell dropped down to the floor Indian style taking a deep breathe before hell was over run with fuchsia.
******
"What now..."
Yema grabbed tight onto his beard looking over at Old Kai and the others. Their expressions grim as they await the inevitable. They too became succumbed in light.
******
Vegeta opened his eyes looking around at where he was. The sky no longer held the vivid color of which the pervious blast had. It had over come everything, leaving it still and frozen. He looked at his hands, Alexial's gloves still emitted it's holy glow before finally disappearing. They protected him from the energy wave that came from the distance, protected him from loosing hisself in the flow of time. Vegeta landed in the realm of stillness. Pacing through its motionless colors of stale blues and gray. He could see his breathe in the air as he neared closer to Alexial, pacing slowly with a determined glare. She floated in an unfamiliar form looking into the sky, radiating with the pulsing fuchsia light that entrapped them all in the seemingly endless prison of time. He stopped on the battle ground. His eyes widened with surprise. They all fought valiantly. Goku frozen in posses of combat, across from that stood Gohan, Videl, and Buu. 18 kept true to her word...unfortunately she was entrapped upon aiding her brother up off the ground. There they were, all of them, Goten firing a desperate energy ray, even Mr. Satan was set in an attack stance next to Chi-Chi, whom held her mop preparing for battle. They were all there, Tien, Yamcha, down and out. And...Pikkon. Vegeta turned, his eyes turning white as he saw Bulma, she was covering Krillin, whom in turn must have been trying to save Bra and Marion, he was holding them both. And his son, on a fallen knee next to a KO'd Piccolo. The cat woman he had sensed from the distance laid there flat as well. They all fought so hard. Even Roshi looked set to fire a Kameahameaha wave. Now Vegeta was left standing. He walked over to Bra, placing a hand to his daughters head. He looked up, moving over to Bulma kneeling in front of her. Vegeta ran his exposed finger tips across her face. Her skin still as smooth as he remembered, her eyes burring with resolve. Vegeta placed a saddened forehead to hers.
"Bulma I'm sorry I wasn't the ma...Sayain you once knew, but I'm here now. I won't fail you."
He kissed her soft pale lips pulling back to his feet. His gaze returning from compassionate to determined as he felt Alexial's grand energy emerge behind him..
"Vegeta...how are you still standing free?"
She looked at the long white, spandex gloves extending to the top of his triceps, finger holes removed. Alexial smiled.
"Alexia must of had some kind of faith in you...she sacrificed her protection for your sake."
Vegeta didn't look at her.
"She gave them as a gift...a gift of condolence for my people."
"Well I guess it's for the better...It was kind of sad that Goku and the others were a disappointment. How will you fare your majesty?"
"I'm not Kakarot..."
"Right...you don't have his power do you?"
He turned to her slowly, she was taken aback slightly at his reaction. His glare cold and dark. She twitched, the stone of wisdom was reading him...he was suppose to be haunted by not comparing with Goku, this was suppose to unnerve him. But his ki remained unchanged.
"I said you are not nearly strong enough to defeat me! How could you when Goku could not!?"
Vegeta turned on his massive energy. It radiated strong blowing Alexial back slightly. He gazed at her.
"I am Vegeta...Prince of all Sayains...."
His voice growing more and more confident as his energy grew.
"I AM THE LAST OF THE MIGHTIEST PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE! I AM OF ROYAL BLOOD!"
Alexial looked at him as his dark grin returned.
"And by that blood, in this life or the next... I'm going to kill you..."
Alexial gritted her teeth in anger. How dare he even think he could hold a candle to her? Vegeta sat in complete attention, on guard and ready for war. It was time for Vegeta to prove his worth....
*Announcer Guy*
Time has finally been compressed and Vegeta is the last man standing!! Mankind...no history's final hope lies on the sturdy shoulders of a proud Sayain prince. But can Vegeta succeed where a Super Sayain 3 Goku could not!? Stay tuned, for more Dragonball Z!!!
