Unexpected Fate
Chapter 37
CMG: Okay. That by far was the longest I've gone without writing another chapter with several deadends.
Scrix: Are you ready to start yet another chapter?
CMG: Yeah, after I wish for Kroger back after -=accidentally=- nuking it in my pissed off state.
Karis: *body looking rather burned* Here's the last Dragon Ball
CMG: What happened to you?
Karis: The last Dragon Ball was close to a volcano and I got burned by the lava.
CMG: Well, I'll give you a day off. Now leave!
Karis: *telepathy* Torchure her. Please!
Scrix: *nods head* Just make the damn wish already.
CMG: *looks down at Dragon Balls* Fine. Arise Great Snizlong and grant me my wishes! *dragon comes out*
Shenlong: That's Shenlong! *bolt of lighting hits CMG* You have two wishes.
CMG: *recovers instantly* Sorry. Anyway, I wish for Kroger to be restored from -=accidentally=- nuking it.
Shenlong: Your wish will be granted. What's your last wish?
CMG: I wish for the rights of Dragon Ball/Z/GT! *starts fantizing of tormenting the characters in more humor fics*
Shenlong: I cannot grant that wish. It is beyond my power due to copyrights.
CMG: Fine! At least give me Vegetto to run the rest of the opening disclaimers! *Vegetto appears as the Dragon Balls fly away*
Vegetto: *looks around and grins* The woman here only owns Scrix, Karis, and Infr. *CMG catches Vegetto in a net that appeared out of nowhere*
CMG: *smiling innocently and speaks in a cute child-like voice* Mine.
Vegetto: *loses smirk and sweatdrops*
/.../ means Saiya-go because I'm stuck using Notepad yet again! *cries*

Blood. All Bardock could see as he could see as he ran down the halls. He felt his blood rushing to his head as he heard screams. No matter what, he had to stop Goku. He had to stop him before it was too late. As he ran into the room, he saw his son in an uproar of energy of his Super Saiya-jin 3 form fighting against his mate, Celpia. She was bloody as she fought with pride.
/Celpia! Are you insane?/ yelled Bardock. /He's stronger than you!/
/I know, but it's either Infr or me,/ said Celpia. /After all, he was about to kill him when I managed to get here and buy him and Karis time to escape./
/Move,/ said Bardock as he goes Super Saiya-jin 3. /I'll take care of this. It's my fault he's like this now./
Bardock quickly flew at Goku and sent him flying into a wall. Celpia ran off, limping as the dust lingered in the air around where Goku hit the wall. As Bardock waited, he suddenly felt something.
/Not now!/ said Bardock.
*******
Bardock saw Vegeta no longer a Majin. He was alive somehow as he leaned against the wall. Somehow, he seemed confident for some strange reason as he noticed his son's unconscious body on the ground in some strange white circle. Vegeta began to speak to Scrix, but Bardock realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hear his voice at all.
'He must be talking telepathy, but how is he alive when he was supposed to die?' thought Bardock.
*******
The vision suddenly ends as Bardock goes flying to the ground. He recovers moments later to see his son growling and what surprised him even more was that behind him, he had...
"Oh shit! Shit! Shit! His tail!" cursed Bardock as he backed away. Goku's eyes were glowing red as the tail snapped in the air like a whip. Hatred emitted from his sould as Bardock became afraid.
/What's wrong?/ said Goku in a voice dripped in venom. (A/N: Think of when Goku's speaking in his deep voice after becoming a Super Saiya-jin 3 with more pain in it.) /I thought you would be glad that I'm like the other Saiya-jins and actually wish to kill those that are weaker to us./
/You are a sick bastard,/ spat Bardock as he regained his confidence and remembered what would happen if he were to die. /You don't realize that if you kill Infr, our race would die out and whatsmore, you'll be a weak bitchy human like Yamcha./ (A/N: Point for Bardock.)
/Yes, but I planned to take his place after that so that Baba-di and Buu could use this to their advantage and destroy the heavens as well,/ said Goku. /So you see, I plan on becoming the God of Death./
/God of Death? Yeah right, Kakarot,/ said a familiar voice as Goku is knocked out from behind.
/Vegeta?!/ said Bardock. /But why? How did.../
/To answer the first question, Baba-di's dying as we speak,/ said Vegeta as he smirked. The M on his forehead was starting to fade. /Then, while Kakarot was invading my mind to try and "purify" me, I took advantage of the situation and decided to learn a few new tricks.../
*** Flashback... ***
Goku was trapped in the black tenticles of mist as he struggled. Vegeta walked towards him as the tenticles around his body remained somewhat whole.
/So, this is how I defeat you,/ said Vegeta as Goku weakly looked up at him. /I wonder if I can penetrate your mind while Baba-di tries to possess you.../
/Please,/ said Goku as Vegeta placed his hand on Goku's head. /Don't cause anymore damage. I know deep inside that you've changed./
/I doubt it,/ said Vegeta as he concentrated. Suddenly, Vegeta was overwhelmed with memories as he gasped. The tenticles tightened around his body as he refused to let them sufficate him. As he shifted through them, he began to pick through Goku's mind to find some good information.
/No... Vegeta.../ moaned Goku as Vegeta found something that made him growl. /You weren't supposed to.../
/Quiet clown!/ said Vegeta. /So, I gave it all I have huh? I suppose that will be interesting. Now it's my turn to change fate./
Vegeta pushed Goku away as the scene ends.
*** End Flashback ***
/...So thanks to Kakarot's ability to foresee into the future, I was able to beat Majin Buu just enough so that I could make Baba-di pay,/ finished Vegeta as he leaned up against the wall. /I know the Gods would punish me, but I had no other choice but to alter fate so that your son may be saved./
/What do you mean?/ said Bardock.
/Right now, he's suffering from Baba-di's spell,/ said Vegeta. /He was pure, so when he became evil, he became so strong that his body was overtaxed with energy. I managed to train my body and mind enough so that any new surge of energy wouldn't destroy me, but Kakarot's a different story. Since he was pure, he didn't do as much training as I did, so he almost burned himself out being at that strange level and all. After we save Earth, remind me to kick his ass for holding back eariler in the stadium./
/That pretty much explains the vision I had,/ said Bardock. /You cheated death./
/Vegeta!/ said Scrix. /I already know what happened, but doing what you had to do, I know you've came up with something else./
/Yes,/ said Vegeta. /We need to purify Kakarot's soul. His human instincts are holding him back from his true power and it would be only a burden if he relied on that too much./
/Even so, he's still raised on those emotions,/ said Scrix. /Vegeta, he's a Saiya-jin, but with a human's heart./
/Bah! Love is for the weak!/ snapped Vegeta.
/Even so, I want to help him,/ said Bardock. /He's already done the ultimate sacrifice to bring me back from Baba-di's evil spell, so if I have to, I'll save him again./
/Very well,/ said Scrix. /Bring Kakarot to the sanctuary down the hall. I'll make Karis get the oils needed for the lamps./
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, Buu recovered as he saw his master weakly breathing in his little hole. (A/N: Damn! Doesn't that prick die? *gets knocked out by Vegetto for the interruption*) Buu brought him back close to death as Baba-di cursed.
"Damn! Those two warriors are no longer under my control," said Baba-di. "To make matters worse, he's prevented me from killing those intruders."
"Buu find man who hurt Baba-di!" said Buu.
"Then let's go!" said Baba-di.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the forest, Gohan was injured. He was unconscious as the animals looked at him innocently. Suddenly, the animals ran away as a figure appeared transparent as a hand touched Gohan's face.
"Gohan, I'm sorry. It's my fault and I wish I could have been able to save you..." said the figure as a tear fell upon Gohan's right hand. (A/N: You'll know who decided to visit Gohan later. For now, it's a mystery! Muhahaha!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/Lay Kakarot in the circle,/ said Scrix as Bardock placed his son's unconscious body down. Backing away, Karis arrived with the oil as well as a bag full of orbs. /Help Karis light the lamps, Bardock./
Bardock easily lit the lamps as Scrix began talking to Vegeta telepathically. Bardock didn't know what they were saying and realized that this was the vision he had eariler happening.
/Now, lay the orbs in the small grooves in the ground,/ said Scrix. /The orbs are used for healing. Once Kakarot begins to recover, all 18 orbs will heal him spiritually and hopefully, he'll be stronger./
/What now?/ said Bardock.
/Now, it's time for you to help your son,/ said Scrix. /You mustn't let him defeat you. He's going through a rough mental battle and it's up to you to make him realize that he's not weak./
/Right,/ said Bardock as he stepped into the circle and sat down next to his son's body. Lifting his head into his lap, Bardock saw the stones starting to glow dimly as the light flickered in the sanctuary. Soon, Bardock felt something happen as he sank deeper into Goku's unconscious mind...
*******
Darkness. Bardock realized what it was as the aura around his body flared to life, banishing the darkness away. He was cautious as he ventured carefully through the darkness. The black tenticles of mist remained at bay as Bardock found a small figure in the darkness. The figure looked like Goku, but something was different. He was a boy!
"Grandpa," said Goku as he cried. "Why don't you wake up?"
'I had no idea what he did as a child,' thought Bardock as he watched. 'No! Kakarot's life is in the balance!'
The vision fades as he sees Goku with a mysterious cup in his hands. He drinks the liquid and a strange paralyzing pain went through his body. He screams.
"Goku! Spit it out!" said the cat.
"No! I won't!" said Goku.
"But you'll die!" said the younger version of Yajarobi.
"I won't die!" cried Goku.
'Was this a test?' thought Bardock. 'No. I have to find him.'
The vision fades as Bardock closed his eyes. *Kakarot! Please! Answer me and come out!* Suddenly, Bardock felt something as Goku appeared. He was wearing dark armor and his aura was a dark flame around him as Bardock gasped.
"Kakarot!" said Bardock.
"You're too late," said Goku. "I have taken over his body."
"Who are you?" said Bardock.
"I am the demon that was born in his heart whenever he went Oozaru," said Goku in an unnatural voice that sounded dark and sinister. "I am that part that made him go insane and nearly killed the Gods, but you and that woman interfered! I will not let you have your son back!"
"And I won't let you get away with this!" roared Bardock as he transformed.
"We'll see," said the demon as he sneered at Bardock. Goku/Demon went Super Saiya-jin 3 as Bardock decided to follow suit. However, Bardock felt something wrong as he tried to transform. He felt something cold as he gasped in pain. "You don't get it do you. The Super Saiya-jin form is a form made of anger and hate. If you are to use it, you have to use the darkness inside your heart."
Bardock gasped. Suddenly, he heard a distant voice that sounded both mysterious, yet familiar.
/You can transform. I know you can. Just rely on the love you have inside of you towards him and you'll ascend.../
"Demon..." hissed Bardock as he began to focus. "I won't let you get away with this!" (A/N: Who knew Bardock would use the same comeback line Goku used against Freeza twice in this fanfic?)
"I'd like to see you stop me," said the demon as Bardock began to glow in a golden aura.
'For my son,' thought Bardock as his eyes began to change and his hair started to spike up. 'I can't let him down again!!!!'
With a roar, Bardock transformed into a Super Saiya-jin and continued to ascend until he went Super Saiya-jin 3. He smirked as Goku/Demon became afraid. Bardock stepped forward as the dark tenticles were destroyed on impact and the darkness slowly faded away around them.
"Impossible!" said Goku/Demon. "How are you doing this?"
"I'm relying on my son's love towards others to defeat the darkness around him," said Bardock in a calm voice. "I will save him. I've let him down before, but I promised that I would never do that again!"
Bardock and Goku/Demon began to circle each other. The first to attack was Goku/Demon as Bardock moved out of the way just in time. He threw a punch at Goku/Demon's chest, which left a strange glow on him.
"Huh?" said Bardock.
"You bastard," said Goku/Demon. "You cannot have your son back!"
"I will have him back," said Bardock. "I know what I have to do now."
Bardock moved so fast that Goku/Demon couldn't land a punch, but Bardock left punches all over Goku/Demon's body as the light continued to smother the darkness. Finally, Goku/Demon sank to his knees in defeat as the demon separated himself from Goku's body and disintergrated. Bardock caught his son's body in his arms.
"I'm sorry Kakarot," said Bardock. "I know that I had to save you."
/It's okay dad./ said the voice as Bardock saw Goku's spirit in front of him. He had pure white wings on his back as Bardock gasped in surprise.
/How are you here, yet in my arms?/ said Bardock.
/I was forced out of my body, so I came close to death again, but I'm still alive as long as I return to my body,/ said Goku. /Right now, I'm in a coma trying to wake up. When I do, we'll defeat Majin Buu. I promise.../
The last thing Bardock saw was Goku floating to his body as the light flashed.
*******
Bardock opened his eyes. He saw all the orbs glowing as he felt Goku stir in his arms. As he opened his eyes, Vegeta gasped as Bardock looked at his son. He had blue eyes for some strange reason.
"What's wrong?" said Goku.
"Why are your eyes blue?" said Bardock.
"Oh, I guess while I was possessed, my body got stronger, so now, I can transform into a Super Saiya-jin 3 easily without much delays," said Goku as his eyes returned to it's normal color.
Vegeta walked into the circle, but no sooner did that happen, he fell to his knees as a demon emerged from his body and dissolved into nothing. He remained there, breathing hard as Goku ran to him and touched his shoulder, but Vegeta immediately slapped it away.
"Don't touch me!" said Vegeta.
"I guess you too have a demon inside of you," said Bardock. "Funny it dissolved the moment you set foot in here."
"That was the remains of Baba-di's spell, you flaming idiot," said Vegeta. "I am still evil."
"Yeah right," said Goku as Vegeta growled.
"Well, I see you're back to full strength," said Infr. "Now then, it's time for Prince Vegeta to start his training."
"Training?" said Goku.
"What kind of training, you old fart?" said Vegeta.
"If you are to defeat Majin Buu, you must ascend once more, correct?" said Infr. "My plan is working on ascending while Barrot helps you."
"Barrot?" said Vegeta confused. "Who in the fuck is he?"
"Well Vegeta, remember that man who came before Baba-di possessed you?" said Goku. "That was dad and I fused together."
"Hn," said Vegeta. "How you managed to do that without remaining that way is a mystery to me."
"We'll show you later," said Bardock with a sweatdrop behind his head.
"Right!" said Goku before his stomach started to growl. "But first, can we have something to eat?"
Everyone except Goku facevaulted as he placed his hand behind his head.
"You are always hungry," mumbled Vegeta as they leave the room to get some food.
"What can I say?" said Bardock. "He's a growing boy!"
"After we eat, we start training for 6 hours, no excuses!" growled Vegeta.
"Well, that will be a problem since dad and I can only be fused for 30 minutes," said Goku.
Vegeta facevaults again.

CMG: Whew! Now I'm getting a better idea of what to write!
Scrix: Umm... aren't you done cuddling Vegetto yet? Funimation called and said that they need him to fight Majin Buu.

Scrix: *facevaults* Then how in the hell is he going to save Gohan, Piccolo, and Gotenks?

Meanwhile, Buu recovered as he saw his master weakly breathing in his little hole. (A/N: Damn! Doesn't that prick die? *gets knocked out by Vegetto for the interruption*) Buu brought him back close to death as Baba-di cursed.
"Damn! Those two warriors are no longer under my control," said Baba-di. "To make matters worse, he's prevented me from killing those intruders."
"Buu find man who hurt Baba-di!" said Buu.

Finally, Goku/Demon sank to his knees in defeat as the demon separated himself from Goku's body and disintergrated. Bardock caught his son's body in his arms.
"I'm sorry Kakarot," said Bardock. "I know that I had to save you."
/It's okay dad./ said the voice as Bardock saw Goku's spirit in front of him. He had pure white wings on his back as Bardock gasped in surprise.
/How are you here, yet in my arms?/ said Bardock.
/I was forced out of my body, so I came close to death again, but I'm still alive as long as I return to my body,/ said Goku. /Right now, I'm in a coma trying to wake up. When I do, we'll defeat Majin Buu. I promise.../
The last thing Bardock saw was Goku floating to his body as the light flashed.
*******
Bardock opened his eyes. He saw all the orbs glowing as he felt Goku stir in his arms. As he opened his eyes, Vegeta gasped as Bardock looked at his son. He had blue eyes for some strange reason.
"What's wrong?" said Goku.
"Why are your eyes blue?" said Bardock.
"Oh, I guess while I was possessed, my body got stronger, so now, I can transform into a Super Saiya-jin 3 easily without much delays," said Goku as his eyes returned to it's normal color.
Vegeta walked into the circle, but no sooner did that happen, he fell to his knees as a demon emerged from his body and dissolved into nothing. He remained there, breathing hard as Goku ran to him and touched his shoulder, but Vegeta immediately slapped it away.
"Don't touch me!" said Vegeta.
"I guess you too have a demon inside of you," said Bardock. "Funny it dissolved the moment you set foot in here."
"That was the remains of Baba-di's spell, you flaming idiot," said Vegeta. "I am still evil."
"Yeah right," said Goku as Vegeta growled.
"Well, I see you're back to full strength," said Infr. "Now then, it's time for Prince Vegeta to start his training."
"Training?" said Goku.
"What kind of training, you old fart?" said Vegeta.
"If you are to defeat Majin Buu, you must ascend once more, correct?" said Infr. "My plan is working on ascending while Barrot helps you."
"Barrot?" said Vegeta confused. "Who in the fuck is he?"
"Well Vegeta, remember that man who came before Baba-di possessed you?" said Goku. "That was dad and I fused together."
"Hn," said Vegeta. "How you managed to do that without remaining that way is a mystery to me."
"We'll show you later," said Bardock with a sweatdrop behind his head.
"Right!" said Goku before his stomach started to growl. "But first, can we have something to eat?"
Everyone except Goku facevaulted as he placed his hand behind his head.
"You are always hungry," mumbled Vegeta as they leave the room to get some food.
"What can I say?" said Bardock. "He's a growing boy!"
"After we eat, we start training for 6 hours, no excuses!" growled Vegeta.
"Well, that will be a problem since dad and I can only be fused for 30 minutes," said Goku.
Vegeta facevaults again.
