Unexpected Fate

Chapter 38

Scrix: *looking around for CMG after what Vegetto did last chapter* Did you find her yet?

Karis: *watching Vegetto kicking Buu's ass on a portable television* What did you say?

Infr: I swear! You two aren't looking hard enough. She's probably dead for all we know.

Scrix: If she's dead, then pray tell why in the hell are we searching for her?

Infr: So that you guys can be in the story longer than me again!

Karis: It's not our fault CMG doesn't include you in the story much. Besides, we're not looking hard enough. We need to split into groups and find her.

Scrix: I'll go with Karis.

Infr: *facevaults* YOU TWO NEED TO GET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND SEARCH BEFORE...

*moaning is heard*

??????: Will you three keep it down?

Scrix/Karis/Infr: Huh?

??????: I'm tired. Please be quiet.

Scrix: *lifts rock to find an old lady under it* You're not CMG!

??????: The hell I'm not! *beats Scrix with a stick she has as he tries to escape*

Karis: ROTFLMAO!

Infr: I think we'll find her soon. *Scrix cries on the ground, withering in pain* Well, let's go ahead and start the story since we cannot find her.

??????: What story are you talking about?

Karis: Unexpected Fate by Chibi Mirai Gogeta. You see, Vegetto kind of nuked her to...

Scrix: *covers Karis' mouth* This area here.

??????: I see. Well, get on with it then. I might like this story if you put me in it.

Infr: Alright, what's your name so we can say it in the disclaimers?

??????: Saria.

Infr: Saria eh? Then without further adieu, we'll begin this story.

Scrix: Originally, CMG doesn't own Dragon Ball Z at all. Please don't flame her for not starting this story since she's missing. She only owns us and Saria. Now on with the show.

(A/N: A lot of Saiya-go in this chapter. Remember that it's now in /....../ because of Notepad.)

Vegeta and Goku were sparring fiercely against each other as Bardock seemed flush after eating a full course meal fit for a kingdom. He seemed pale as sweat ran down his face. Scrix noticed this and walked to him.

"Are you feeling well?" said Scrix.

"I think something's happening," said Bardock. "I don't know what it is."

Scrix concentrated on Bardock as he noticed the halo over his head flickering. "It's time."

"Huh?" said Bardock.

"Don't you remember?" said Scrix. "You're being revived. Drink the vial before it's too late."

"Right," said Bardock as he opened the vial and drank the contents. As it flowed through his system, the halo stopped flickering and faded away as Bardock gasped. "I'm alive."

"Of course," said Scrix. "The Dragon Balls have revived you. It's time you help Vegeta with his training."

"Wait," said Infr as he enters the room. "We have a guest."

"Who?" said Bardock.

"Her name is Saria," said Karis as a woman enters the room. She had long white hair as Bardock noticed a snowy white tail around her waist. She looked very old as Bardock noticed that her eyes were a very pale blue. She wore a brown cloak made of a mesh-like substance and had slippers of the same fabric on her feet.

/I've come to see Prince Vegeta,/ said Saria. /He is to come with me./

/Huh?/ said Goku.

/Why do you want Vegeta?/ said Bardock.

/He is to go through a trial,/ said Saria. /The Trial of the Saiya-jin./

/What?!/ said Vegeta. /Why do I need to go through that now? The Saiya-jin race is dead!/

/Perhaps, but you seem too cocky for a prince and need to learn some respect,/ said Saria. (A/N: Point for the old hag.)

/Listen old wench,/ said Vegeta as he grabbed the collar of her cloak, /I cannot go through the trials right now! I need to defeat a bloated bastard and an old prick to save Earth. I am not going and that's.../

/You will,/ said Saria as she glared deep into Vegeta's eyes. /Say what you want, but this trial has a great deal of potential for you to ascend. Kakarot, if you wish, you can accompany the prince to keep him out of trouble./

/I will not let a third-class moron babysit me through the trials!/ yelled Vegeta as Goku flinched.

/Why do I have to go?/ said Goku.

/Because you have not gone through them either,/ said Saria. /Pretty much, you both are overdue to go through the trials since Vegeta's been destroyed about 40 years ago. (A/N: I think that's about right...) You go or you die against Buu. Your choice./

/Fine,/ said Vegeta.

/Be careful,/ said Bardock. /The Trial of the Saiya-jin is dangerous./

/How do you know?/ said Scrix. /You didn't participate either./

/Why in the hell are you reading my mind?!/ hissed Bardock as he nearly beat Scrix to a pulp, if Goku haven't of grabbed him at the last instant.

/Calm down!/ said Goku. /I guess we'll all have to go through the trials!/

/Before you go, there's a small issue I'd like to address,/ said Saria. /WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOUR TAILS?! KAKAROT'S GOT HIS, BUT YOU TWO HAVE LOST IT! OY! I MUST BE GOING INSANE TRYING TO GET THE PRINCE JUST TO GO THROUGH THE TRIALS HIMSELF!/

/Okay lady,/ said Bardock. /You're scaring us now./ (A/N: A bit late for that.)

/For now, I'll restore their tails,/ said Infr. /Hold still. This will feel a bit uncomfortable since you're not in the Forbidden Springs./

Vegeta and Bardock moaned in slight discomfort as their tails were regrown. Goku, Vegeta, and Bardock then left with Saria to the Trial of the Saiya-jin.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, Buu's on a rampage as Baba-di's evil cackling was heard.

"That's it Buu!" said Baba-di. "Soon, those traitors will come out of hiding and then we'll destroy them!"

"Buu have fun!" said Buu. "Buu want some chocolate!"

"Then change those humans down there into treats!" said Baba-di.

"Yay!" cried Buu as the scene fades. (A/N: I'm not going any further in that part since we all know what happens.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Back in the Other Realm, Goku, Vegeta, and Bardock reach a giant wooden door with Saria.

/Once you go in, there's no turning back until you face the trials ahead,/ said Saria. /They will be difficult for you three, but you must have strong determination./

/I understand,/ said Goku.

/Just open the damn door!/ yelled Vegeta.

/I wish you men good luck,/ said Saria as the door opens.

They walk in as it slams behind them. All they saw in front of them was a galaxy full of stars as they realized that they were in space somehow. Goku, Vegeta, and Bardock were still standing on firm ground though as they noticed a platform beneath them. As they stepped off, they found themselves floating in space without the need of breathing any air.

/How are we alive?/ said Goku. /Wouldn't we die?/

/I have no idea,/ said Bardock. /This must be part of the trial itself./

The three floated around as they saw nothing but stars and planets in the universe. Soon, a bright light engulfed all of them as they found themselves in a forest. The trees looked tropical as they looked around.

/Creepy!/ said Goku.

/Quiet Kakarot!/ said Vegeta.

/Vegeta please stop fighting,/ said Bardock as the two turn away and pouted with their arms crossed. /We need to find out what we need to do next./

/Fine,/ said Vegeta as he walked with Bardock and Goku down the hill to a lake with a beautiful waterfall. Sunlight hit the waterfall as the look up into the sky.

/It looks like we're on.../ said Bardock.

/Vegeta,/ finished Goku. /But why are we here? I thought it was destroyed./

/Maybe this is the past or an alternate universe,/ said Bardock.

/Like that's the case,/ said Vegeta. /Either way, let's get something to eat and set up camp for tonight. I think I remember some of the trial being at night./

/What are we going to eat though?/ said Goku.

/Guess,/ said Vegeta. /We're going hunting for erik./

/Erik?/ said Goku.

/It's a deer found in the forests of Vegeta that we catch and eat,/ said Bardock.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Later that night, the fires burned down as Goku tossed and turned against the ground, his tail flailing in discomfort as something he remembered through the Demon's ordeal haunted him. The other two Saiya-jins were sound asleep; not knowing anything about what Goku was going through. Goku sat up and sighed.

'I can't sleep,' thought Goku. 'I used to sleep on the grounds back on Earth easier than this. But something's wrong...'

Looking up into the sky, stars twinkled as Goku remembered the flight they took earlier. As he looked, he heard a sound in the bushes as decided to find out what it was. Trying to sense the life force from the creature, Goku ran through the woods after whatever was stalking them back at camp. As he reached a clearing, he noticed the figure stopped as well.

/Kakarot,/ said the figure. /It's time for the first part of the trial./

/What about the others?/ said Goku.

/They will come as well once they find you missing,/ said the figure. /Look up./

/Huh?!/ said Goku as he saw the moon and instantly shut his eyes. /NO! If I look, I'll become an Oozaru!/

/This is part of the trial,/ said the figure. /You are to regain your Saiya-jin senses by tranformation. If not, then you will be deemed a coward and dishonor your father./

/What dishonor is it not to take part in this twisted trial you put me up to?/ said Goku as the figure moved closer to him slowly.

/You have no idea,/ said the figure. /The Oozaru transformation is the strongest transformation any normal Saiya-jin has achieved under the full moon. You should be lucky to have the privilege to witness Vegeta's moon giving you the power to transform./ The figure grabbed Goku from behind and forced his eyes open. /Just look and let go of everything.../

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bardock felt something wrong as he woke up. Shaking Vegeta, he mumbled.

/Vegeta,/ said Bardock. /Kakarot's missing!/

/What?!/ said Vegeta. /Strange. Let's find him!/

A loud roar is heard as the two men gasped and cried, /He transformed!/

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Goku felt himself change as he lost all conscious thought as he usually did when he transformed. Somehow, the moon felt welcoming to him as the figure's voice was heard in his mind.

*That's it. Accept this. This is the calling of the Saiya-jin. Don't let anyone or anything ruin it for you. You are superior to all creatures in the universe!*

*Kakarot!* cried Bardock's voice as Goku snorted and heard footsteps through the forest below.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

/It's too late,/ said Vegeta. /He's gone Oozaru!/

/Then cut off his tail!/ said Bardock.

/Are you out of your mind?!/ said Vegeta. /We can't! Saria let us have our tails back for a reason./

/To have Kakarot transform and kill us,/ said Bardock flatly. /Unless we look at the moon too!/

/Why should we?!/ said Vegeta. /You'll lose control and I'll barely have any since I haven't used it for a long time!/

/Still, we should try it,/ said Bardock as they both look up at the moon. /I won't lose control./

/Shut-up,/ growled Vegeta as they both transform.

Bardock struggles to stay in control as Vegeta grabbed Goku in a headlock.

/Kakarot!/ roared Vegeta. /Come on! Regain control now!/

*He cannot do that,* said the figure's voice. *He lost control once he transformed. Only he's able to regain his sanity...*

/Who are you?/ said Bardock in Saiya-go. The figure appeared on the cliffside as Bardock saw that it was Saria. /Huh?/

/Bardock and Vegeta, you both must leave him alone,/ said Saria. /If he's opposed in anyway, he'll become more blood thirsty and probably ascend while he's in that form./

/You mean?!/ said Vegeta as he remembered the tale his father once told him. /Shit!/

/What are we supposed to do then?/ said Bardock.

/Let him adjust,/ said Saria as she vanishes.

/Damn woman!/ yelled Bardock as Goku gets out of the headlock and charges at Bardock, knocking him into a mountain.

/Bardock!/ roared Vegeta.

/Kakarot!/ yelled Bardock as Goku's growled in a warning.

/Vegeta! We might have to cut off Kakarot's tail!/ yelled Bardock. /This trial is insane!/

/No! We can't! The Saiya-jin's tail is a part of this trial. If it's cut off, then the Saiya-jins responsible will fail and die under the Royal Code,/ said Vegeta. /We've got to get through to Kakarot or he'll destroy this planet./

/How will we do that?/ said Bardock.

/We'll have to restrain him,/ said Vegeta as he grabs Goku off of Bardock. /Kakarot! Fight it!/

Goku struggled as Vegeta tried to maintain his grasp on Goku. Unfortunately, Vegeta was thrown off as Goku once again was fighting Bardock. Angry, Bardock's fur began to change.

/No!/ roared Vegeta as Bardock transformed into a Golden Oozaru. (A/N: Bet you didn't see that coming.)

/Don't worry,/ said Bardock. /I'm still under control. I needed to do this so that I can try to keep him from throwing me into a mountain again. Besides, he didn't have the proper training we did./

/I see your point,/ said Vegeta. /He's too savage./

Vegeta went Golden Oozaru as he and Bardock both restrained Goku. Growing, Goku tried to get out of the grip as Bardock suddenly remembered how he regained control the first time after he transformed.

/Vegeta!/ said Bardock. /The moon./

/The moon?!/ said Vegeta as he turned around. /Of course. I remember now. When I first transformed, it took the moon's rays to bring me out of my insane state and wreck a planet for Freeza. I forgotten all about it./

*Kakarot, look up at the moon,* said Bardock as he lifted Goku's head up to look at the moon. Goku felt Bardock's hand under his chin and suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on Bardock's hand. He roared in pain as Goku drew blood and suddenly stopped struggling. He began to relax in Bardock's grasp as he purred.

/What in the hell?!/ said Vegeta as Goku's red eyes became less blood thristy and Bardock easily withdrew his hand from Goku's mouth. /No way!/

/Vegeta.../ purred Goku. /Father. I'm sorry for what I've done. I didn't have any control./

/I know,/ said Vegeta. /We all went through it the first transformation. Now pay attention, Kakarot. You can use the moon to revert back to normal as well./

/How?/ said Goku.

/Like this,/ said Vegeta as he shut his eyes and began to revert back to normal.

/I see,/ said Goku as he and Bardock follow suit. When Goku fully returned to normal, he passed out as Bardock grabbed his now nude son in his arms.

/You passed the first part of the trials,/ said Saria as she appears.

/Umm... do you have anything for Kakarot to wear?/ said Bardock.

/Of course,/ said Saria as she placed her hand on his head and concentrated. A few seconds later, Goku was dressed in blue spandex clothing with white boots and gloves. Goku's eyes fluttered open as Bardock easily let his son down from his arms.

/Whoa!/ said Goku. /That was exhausting!/

/It was,/ said Saria. /Are you feeling better, Kakarot?/

/Yeah,/ said Goku. /So what's the next challenge?/

/The next challenge is to battle against the false Legendary,/ said Saria.

/False Legendary?/ said Bardock. /Who's that?/

/Brolly,/ said Saria.

Scrix: I guess she really is dead. Oh well. I didn't like her Super Bitchin' 3 anyway.

Scrix: Yeah. That Super Saiya-jin 3 form and a female. Super Bitchin' 3.

*a giant explosion is heard and rocks were blown up into the sky*

Saria: *looks down in hole and the sweat drop grows behind her head as she turns to the group very afraid for her own life* Um... run.
