Hey, I realize it's been half a year since I lat updated this, but I got a little distracted, or forgot, or made up an excuse not to sit down and type. In any case, I'll probably finish this soon and come out with a sequel, and work on my newest fic Hybrid Theory, you should really check it out, anyways, less talk more type.
The Return of the Prince
Vegeta threw a punch only to have Goku smack it sideways and then plant his fist square in Vegeta's forehead. Vegeta leaned back and flipped through the air before coming to a stop with his hands outstretched, "Final Flash". A giant ball of blue streaked out from Vegeta but just continued on into space. Vegeta did a side spin as a streak of yellow shot past him.
"Kakarot, you're pathetic attacks won't work against me."
"Wait, you know it's me."
"Of course, who else would I go after so maliciously."
"Well, that's real sweet Vegeta, but I thought, that you thought, that I was some guy called Bardock."
"Do you think I'm stupid or something?"
"Yes." Gohan yelled up, still standing on the ground below.
"Shut up." Vegeta launched a giant blast down at Gohan, who easily dodged it. "Now, Kakarot, do you mind if we finish this before the planet explodes."
"WHAT!!!! The planet's gonna explode?" Goku yelled.
"Wasn't that obvious Kakarot? We've begun to fight at levels that no other planet has ever seen, and on a freshly renewed one for that matter. Did you really think that it would last long. Plus Trunks is fighting with another saiyan on another part of the planet. So shall we dance?"
Goku's only response was a flying fist, and their tango began again.
Trunks flew on through the darkening sky. He had just killed Bardock, the father of Goku, and doomed them all to an early death. Wait, we have our ship, duh. How I didn't think of this before now. I hope they haven't left yet. He put more power into his flight with the urgency. He reached the site of their landing only to find two glowing figures locking their hands in a horrifically powerful grapple. "What the flyin' fuck?" Everyone turned to look at the newest witness to the battle. Trunks looked at the faces now turned to him. He could barely recognize Goku with his bulging brow and massive hair, but he could only assume that his father was the other combatant. "Oh, hi."
"It's about time you showed up, now wait down with the other brat." Vegeta yelled.
"No, we have to leave right now. Bardock launched an energy ball that has the power to annihilate this planet, and I accidently forced it in further. The planet is gonna blow."
"We know, now land you ignorant fool, and don't get in our way." Vegeta then launched a sucker punch, which Goku saw coming and launched one of his own. Once again the two fighters spiraled back from each other.
Trunks landed next to Gohan and just stared at the fight ensuing above their heads.
"So, how long do you think we have, Trunks?"
"Minutes, maybe."
"Great knowin' you."
Well, we can still leave on the ship, but when will they get done?"
"I know and besides that..."
"What?"
"Move." Gohan jumped to the left and Trunks instinctively to the right. One of the fighters rocketed down and smashed through Goku's Capsule Corp. Pod. Goku flew down after his down rival and then was thrown with Vegeta's feet. The thrust was with such power that caused Goku to fly into the other pod, not 100 feet away.
"Well, never mind." Both Gohan and Trunks said with a heavy sigh.
"Wait, maybe there's still some pods left in the city." Trunks said.
"Yeah, they're meant to keep up through the atmosphere, why not that pewny blast."
Trunks shifted a little from his position. That blast wasn't really that pewny.
"Hey, Goku, dad, we're gonna go look for surviving pods, you just do whatever you want." Vegeta and Goku didn't even give him a glance. "Well, alright, see ya then." Gohan and Trunks blasted off.
"They'll come to eventually. Hopefully." Gohan said, already halfway to the ruined city.
Goku and Vegeta continued their battle, not even aware that their sons had blasted away.
The two arrived at was the capital city of Vegeta.
"What the hell happened?" Gohan yelled out, seeing the giant crater in front of him.
"Well, I may have gotten a little out of hand while fighting Bardock." He then jumped into the air and scouted the scorched ground for anything that might be a pod.
Gohan was still just standing there at the edge of the crater. "How, why, why you stupid son of a bitch."
"Calm down, it's o.k., I'm sure there was an underground base or something." He started launching small blasts at the ground.
Gohan was scanning the ground as Trunks blasted it. He spotted something shining. "There." He pointed at the ground, but too late as another blast hit and went through the metal. An explosion could be seen that was underneath the soil. "GODDAMN YOU."
"There's probably another one."
"STOP BEING SO FUCKING PEPPY. IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M STILL HERE. NOW GET ME THE FUCK OFF OF THIS ROCK YOU ASSHOLE."
"You're obviously upset..." Trunks was cut off by Gohan starting to strangle him. Trunks was just shook in the hands of Gohan, back and forth, back and forth. Just swinging there. He finally spotted something glinting, he pointed with what strength he had left. Gohan turned to see a pod laying right on the surface.
Gohan ran over to it and began to hug it. "I told you but you wouldn't listen. Trunks said rubbing his throat while just sitting on the ground, out of breath. Gohan flashed him a glare. "Alright, I get it, I'll shut up."
Goku glared into the eyes of his opponent just across from him. "Vegeta, why do you insist on continuing this battle. We don't have to fight, and if we continue any longer there will be no chance for either of us to get off of this planet alive."
"I know as well as you do that we may not get off of this planet now anyways. So why not go down what we've always loved, what our saiyan heritage that flares within us has always called for. And we know that it urns for battle more now on our home planet more than ever." Goku broke the grapple and landed a punch in Vegeta's gut.
"We don't have to." Goku said, trying to convince Vegeta out of his pitiful suicide.
"Never, I will never quit until you're dead Kakarot. And maybe not even then. Vegteta growled out of gritted teeth before launching an uppercut that sent Goku reeling back.
"No." Goku yelled out, letting all of his saiyan power flow out of him.
"What are you doing?"
"I won't fight you." Goku said as a chuck of the planet rose up past them.
Vegeta saw into Goku's eyes, and powered down as well.
Trunks and Gohan stood in front of the last pod within reachable distance before the planet would explode.
"You go." Trunks said, staring through the tinted glass of the front of the pod.
"No, I can't, you go, I'll find another way." Gohan said while opening the pod.
"This may seem cliched by now, but you just made a big mistake if you really wanted me to go." Gohan just looked at him before Trunks pushed him into the pod and slammed it.
Gohan stared out of the glass as Trunks tried to mouth something out. "The Dragon Balls, Namek." Then Trunks lifted the pod and fired a blast underneath it to launch it into space.
Trunks stood underneath watching the pod streak off into space. Goku and Vegeta stood side by side watching the small streak in the distance go upward.
"See ya Gohan." Trunks said to himself.
"Nice knowin' you Vegeta."
"You as well Goku."
The planet of Vegeta once again exploded into nothingness in space, and Gohan was helpless to do anything to stop it, he was forced to watch the death of his father, his best friend, and Vegeta. A tear dripped down his cheek. He turned to the controls and punched in the coordinates to New Namek.
Fin
Well, that's all. I will make a sequel, it will be basically all humor, and just Gohan. I'll work on that a little faster if demand is high, but it won't be a top priority otherwise. Oh, and check out my other fic, Hybrid Theory. Thank You for reading my fic.
