Unexpected Fate

Chapter 39

CMG: *still pissed off and flying around* DAMMIT! WHERE DID THOSE PESTS GO?

*Under a tiny rock, the Gods and Goddesses sigh in relief after CMG flies in another direction*

Karis: Unbelieveable! We found her, but now she's pissed off at us.

Infr: You had to call her a Super Bitchin' 3, didn't you?

Scrix: I wasn't serious!

Saria: How in the world will she calm down now?

Scrix: Easy. She's got a tail, right?

Saria: So?

Scrix: Let's grab it and...

CMG: *finds them* EXCUSE ME? YOU WANT TO GRAB WHAT?!

Scrix: *eyes grow tiny* Nothing!

CMG: YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE!

Infr: *thinking* Might as well give it a try. *grabs CMG's tail as she hissed*

CMG: MADE A HUGE MISTAKE, INFR. AFTER GETTING BLASTED BY VEGETTO...

Vegetto: Did I hear someone call my name?

CMG: *suddenly reverts to normal and grabs Vegetto who looks at her wide-eyed* Yay! My Vegetto-chan has returned at last!

Vegetto: Mommy?

CMG: Oh I feel so much better with you around. *starts to purr as she falls unconscious in his arms*

Scrix: That was probably the strangest thing I've seen yet...

Saria: Since CMG's out, we'll run the usual disclaimers. As you all should know, this is a fucking fanfic! She doesn't fucking own Dragon Ball Z or fucking Vegetto! I don't even know why the fuck he's here when he should be fucking fighting Majin Buu right now! FOR FUCKING SAKES! SHE ONLY OWNS US FOUR WHO ARE DOING NOTHING BUT FUCKING UP HER LIFE AND HER FUCKING OPENING CREDITS! *breathes hard as the others stare wide-eyed at Saria*

Karis: Who knew she read one of Babyshiro's fanfics a while back and decided to try for the 'say fuck in a fucking' sentence structure easily?

Infr: I guess I've underestimated the word fuck.

Scrix: We better start the story before anything else happens.

Vegetto: I want to go home now! Get her off of me!

Karis: *tries pulling off CMG* Sorry. She's stuck on you good. You're fucked.

Vegetto: NOOOO!!!

The Royal Castle. Vegeta was amazed that it still existed. He saw servants walking around and saw all of the things that he remembered as a boy. Goku was amazed as Bardock sensed someone coming.

/Someone's coming,/ said Bardock.

/Huh?/ said a man who looked like Vegeta, except with a beard and mustache. (A/N: King Vegeta, ladies and gentleman.) /Who are you three and why are you in my presence?/

/I am Prince Vegeta,/ said Vegeta as he bowed.

/I am Bardock, third class,/ said Bardock as he too bowed.

/And I'm Goku!/ said Goku as Vegeta and Bardock both facevault. (A/N: Couldn't resist!)

/Goku?!/ said King Vegeta. /What's a Goku?/

/Forgive us, your highness,/ said Bardock. /That was is Earth-given name. His Saiya-jin name is Kakarot and.../

/Kakarot?/ said King Vegeta as he rubbed his chin. /Ah yes, Kakarot. I thought the technicians gave him the heart virus to be activated when he was older because he seemed to powerful at birth./

/Heart virus?!/ said Bardock. /My son?!/

/He was too powerful, but fortunately, he posed no threat unlike Brolly,/ said King Vegeta. /He wouldn't have lived past his prime, but somehow he's alive. Interesting./

Bardock was pissed off and grabbed the king by his cloak. /You bastard! My son had stopped Freeza and because of that fucking virus, he nearly died 7 years ago in our universe! You aren't deemed to be a Saiya-jin king if you act like a coward!/

/Calm down, Bardock!/ said Vegeta as Bardock tensed and let the king go.

/You had no idea that that virus would cause us to lose to the androids!/ yelled Bardock as he went Super Saiya-jin before King Vegeta's eyes.

/What is this power?/ said King Vegeta as Goku and Vegeta had to restrain Bardock. He reverted to normal as if nothing happened.

/Dad!/ said Goku. /We didn't have any idea that it was them that gave me the heart virus in the first place! For all we know, the heart virus was a good thing since I went through a near-death experience and returned stronger than ever!/

/Still,/ said Bardock, /he's nothing but a coward!/

/Kakarot was born the same day Brolly was,/ said King Vegeta. /The reason he posed as a threat was because both of their power levels were dangerously high for infants./

/Dangerously high?/ said Goku.

/You were crying and when you angered Brolly, both of you nearly destroyed Vegeta,/ said King Vegeta. /When scientist ran tests on both of you, Brolly's test came out differently than Kakarot's. Brolly was born a bit different and we found out that illegal steroids were given to the mother before birth. The mother died after giving birth and we had no other alternative but to destroy Brolly. If he were alive today, then Vegeta would have been destroyed along with the galaxy!/

/King Vegeta is correct,/ said a man as the three warriors turned around to see a tanned skin man with a scar on his face and his left eye was closed with a rather nasty scar over it. He wore a long white cape and a rather poorly set of clothing. His hair was short and spiked up as he seemed to have a grudge on King Vegeta.

/Paragus!/ roared King Vegeta. /I thought I sentenced you to death with your son 30 years ago!/

/30 years ago?!/ said Goku and Vegeta in shock.

/Remember what Kakarot said?/ said Bardock quietly as he switched to telepathy. *This is an alternate universe. We are pretty much 10 years ahead in the other timeline, so we're not sure what's going on now!*

/Oh,/ said Vegeta.

/Anyway,/ said Paragus as he brought the others back to their attention, /I plan on exterminating the House of Vegeta and rule this planet as my own!/

/What?!/ said King Vegeta as he growled at Paragus. /What gives you the right to challenge me?/

/I dare,/ said Paragus. /Because of the steroids I've given my unborn son, he's managed to transform into a Super Saiya-jin!/

It was Goku's turn to growl. /Why did you corrupt your son at an early age to get what you want?/

/I don't think you'd understand, son of Bardock,/ said Paragus. /Thousands of years ago, the Legendary Super Saiya-jin had showed itself. Since then, the chances of another Super Saiya-jin were 1 to a million. After surviving, I trained my son until he poked out my eye. One night, I devised a collar to control him since he was becoming too powerful. Eventually, he became the Super Saiya-jin and we travelled back to extract our revenge. It is time for the House of Vegeta to be rightfully mine after all these years!/

A loud rumble is heard as a tall man with wild blonde hair crashed through the wall, showering rock and debris all over the ground. The walls that had decorations on them ripped off the wall as they were shredded by the energy from the glowing figure that stood before Goku, Bardock, and Vegeta. Servants were either killed or wounded as the man stood there in all of his glory. King Vegeta was speechless as he backed away slowly from the other three warriors who seemed rather pissed off. (A/N: I would be pissed off too if some guy who claims to be the Legendary Super Saiya-jin comes in and destroys shit.)

/Behold, my son, Brolly,/ said Paragus. /The Legendary Super Saiya-jin./

Goku began to laugh. Bardock and Vegeta both look at him in confusion, thinking Goku has gone mad before the sight. As Goku regained his composure, he smirked.

/He is the Legendary?!/ gasped Goku as he tried not to laugh anymore. /You're wrong. The Legendary isn't him at all, Paragus. Infr didn't bless him for the crimes that you have committed long ago./

/Have you gone mad?/ said King Vegeta as he was about to pound some sense into Goku when Vegeta held his own father back. /Why are you keeping me from having him no longer preach a dead God's name?/

/Kakarot may say things that are not logical at times, but right now, he's actually speaking the truth,/ said Vegeta. /I have seen Infr myself!/

/And so have I,/ said Bardock. /You have no right to consider him the Legendary. The Legendary stands before you, Paragus and in the name of the House of Vegeta, we will make sure that you pay for your crimes./

Quietness settled before Paragus began to laugh evilly. /I doubt that what you've just said was actually true. I refuse to believe that Infr has appeared before you and refuse to believe that the Legendary is not any of you who stand before me. You have pretty much placed yourselves to death preaching so much nonsense that I'm sure if he was alive, he would be here at this moment before all of us./ (A/N: You better take back your words!)

/He is,/ said Infr's voice as Goku's power suddenly skyrocketted and he suddenly grew wings before everyone and started to float. /I have blessed Kakarot with this power that you see before you. He has been called the Legendary because of his bravery and strength./ Infr suddenly appears as Goku falls to the ground without his wings. /The punishment for neglicting to believe is death./

/So, you're Infr, huh?/ said Paragus. /Brolly! Kill him./

/NO!/ cried Goku as Brolly ran towards Infr. Goku got in between Brolly and Infr and flared up into a Super Saiya-jin to protect the God of the Saiya-jin race. Ripples of light shine against the floor as Goku's aura sparkled with a golden light. (A/N: The author of the story then kidnaps Goku and makes out with him for hours and... *Scrix grabs CMG and locks her in the closet for writing that interruption* Fine! I was being poetic!) Blue-green eyes burned a hole inside Paragus' soul as the orbs burned with fire and ice. Brolly swung his fist and Goku caught it with barely little effort.

/Kakarotto!/ roared Brolly as Vegeta and Bardock both look with confusion.

/Kakarotto?!/ said both Vegeta and Bardock as they turn to face King Vegeta.

/Why does Brolly call him Kakarotto?/ said Bardock.

/When your mate gave birth, she named her son Kakarotto, but to make it sound less rounded, we renamed him Kakarot,/ said King Vegeta.

Goku was holding the fist as a vision suddenly interrupted his concentration.

*******

Darkness was all Goku could see as he saw a figure out in the distance that looked like him, but in Saiya-jin armor...

/Father?/ said Goku as he ran towards the figure to find himself in a village that burned in ruin. The sky was blood red as screams of women and children were heard. The last thing he saw was a figure with a dark aura that he couldn't tell who it was.

*******

No sooner than the vision ended, Goku found himself on the ground in pain as Brolly jumped down on his chest and made him puke up blood. Spots danced before Goku's eyes as he began to lose consciousness. Not far away, Bardock and Vegeta were recovering as well from something they saw.

/Who was that figure?/ said Vegeta.

/You had the same vision?/ said Bardock.

/What are you two talking about?/ said King Vegeta.

/Vegeta and I had a vision of a man that looked like my son,/ said Bardock. 'That doesn't mean that...'

/No time to think about that now!/ cried Vegeta as he pointed towards the battle with Brolly and Goku. /Kakarot's in trouble!/

/Let's go!/ cried Bardock as he and Vegeta flare into their Super Saiya-jin forms, leaving a confused King Vegeta behind.

/My son is the Legendary as well,/ said King Vegeta quietly. /I understand now.../

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

Meanwhile, back on Earth at Kami's Lookout, Goten and Trunks wake up in a bedroom and sneak down the hallway to get a bite to eat. Afterwards, they heard Piccolo and Krillin talking and they over heard...

"So Goku, Bardock, Vegeta, and Gohan are dead, huh?" said Krillin. "We're screwed!"

"....." said Piccolo.

"Did you hear that?!" said Goten with puppy-dog eyes. "My brother and grandfather are dead!"

"My father is, too!" said Trunks. "This isn't fair!"

"Wait, what if they're not dead?" said Goten.

"Huh?" said Trunks. "What do you... Oh! I get it! Maybe that one guy named Scrix might know!"

"I wonder how we'll be able to find him?" said Goten. "My daddy told me that he came from the Other Realm and we don't know where that is!"

"Maybe we should go on a quest to find him!" said Trunks.

"Yeah!" said Goten happily. "The quest to find the Saiya-jin God!"

"We better pack up!" said Trunks as he tags Goten in the back of the head. "YOU'RE IT!"

"Hey!" cried Goten as he chased after Trunks. "That wasn't fair!"

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

Back on Planet Vegeta about 10 years ago in an alternate universe, Paragus ran to aid his insane son. (A/N: Once again, this is MY fanfic! If I want to make King Vegeta dress up like a princess, fine! Then I get to!)

/Brolly,/ said Paragus. /Back away and keep those other two distracted while I go ahead and make Kakarotto suffer. I want to make sure that he doesn't live./

Brolly flew away as Paragus loomed over Goku's crippled body. Goku hissed in pain as he tried to find the strength to stand up. Paragus withdrew a dagger as he looked evilly at Goku.

/Now, you will die for defying all logic and claiming to be the Legendary!/ yelled Paragus as Vegeta suddenly felt something snap.

/KAKAROT!/ yelled Vegeta as he suddenly teleports over and kicks Paragus out of Goku's way. Goku was looking at Vegeta with a small smile as Vegeta looked at Goku confused. He began to snicker, which then became laughter that rang throughout the castle. /What's so funny?/

/You saved me, Vegeta,/ said Goku as he painfully laughed. /And you don't want to believe this, but you did it! You finally ascended again!/

/What?!/ said Vegeta as his hand touched a lock of hair that reached his hand. Gasping, Vegeta gave it a yank and felt the pain as he looked down at Goku. /I swear, after this, you'll die./

/Yeah, keep telling yourself that,/ said Goku as he suddenly passes out.

/Damn!/ said Vegeta as he picked up Goku's body and ran down the halls with King Vegeta looking in shock at his son's appearance.

/What the hell is going on?/ said King Vegeta. /What is Kakarot talking about when he said that Vegeta ascended?/

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

Bardock had his hands full with Brolly. He was rather quick, but with Instant Transmission, he was able to dodge several lethal blows that would have killed him right there. Having no other choice, Bardock upped his power to the next level and continued the brawl with Brolly as Paragus slowly recovered.

/Damn Vegeta,/ said Paragus as he rubbed his head. He ran down the hallway to stop Vegeta from having Goku healing in the medical room.

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

Speaking of which, after several twists and turns, Vegeta found the medical room as Goku slowly came around. He suddenly became alert as the doors opened. Inside the medical room, Vegeta saw what he considered a terrible hoax as Goku weakly moaned in defeat. All of the healing pods were damaged as Paragus smirked in pure malace.

/I figured that you'd come here, so I beat you to it,/ said Paragus as Vegeta growled. /Just hand over Kakarotto and I'll spare your life./

/No fucking way, you bastard!/ said Vegeta as his energy burned Goku's wounds. He whined in discomfort.

/You can't fight without having to babysit him,/ said Paragus as he licked his lips with delight. /He is done for now./

/Infr.../ moaned Goku weakly as Vegeta looked down in his arms at Goku. He looked fragile to Vegeta as he felt pity and sorrow towards Goku.

'Why am I feeling sorry for Kakarot for?' thought Vegeta. 'I should be glad that he'll die at my hands, but at the same time, I feel as though if I do kill him, then...'

Vegeta set the warrior down very carefully and Goku's blood on his gloves dripped from his fingertips as he clenched his fist in rage.

/You will die,/ said Vegeta as he fired a strong blast to decapitate Paragus' head off. (A/N: *flatly* Yay.)

/So, you do care,/ said Goku as he laughed in pure delight weakly.

/You better not say a word to anyone about this or I swear I'll find someway to kill you,/ said Vegeta as he suddenly remembered... /Bardock./

/Huh?/ said Goku confused as he suddenly felt his father's life force drop like a rock. /Dad!/

A bright golden light surrounds Goku's taxed out body as Vegeta saw how much blood Goku lost.

/No Kakarot!/ yelled Vegeta as Goku flew towards where doom awaits.

CMG: To write or not to write a cliffy? That is the question. *fans protest* Fine. I won't write a cliffy. Geez! I was only joking around!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bardock was on his hands and knees as the tower-like Brolly moved ever closer to the injured Saiya-jin. King Vegeta was pissed off that Brolly had defeated Bardock as Brolly prepared to deliver the final blow. As it almost seemed death was coming to claim Bardock, a battle-cry that sounded so primative was heard as Brolly went flying with a gaping hole in his stomach. As Brolly fell to the ground with an earth-shattering boom, he saw Goku panting out of breath with his hands in a Kamehame Wave pose as smoke wisped through his fingers. Suddenly, Goku reverted to normal as Bardock quickly reacted and caught his son's injured body.

/Ka... ka... rotto.../ said Brolly's voice as Bardock saw a demon over Brolly's body slowly dissolving. With one final breath, Brolly died as Bardock stared in shock.

'Was that the...' thought Bardock before Vegeta's voice interrupted his thoughts for the second time that day.

/Bardock!/ said Vegeta. /Hurry! We must save Kakarot before it's too late!/

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

On another part of Earth, Kibito and Shin find Gohan's unconscious body and leave to Shin's planet in the Other World. Healing the warrior, Gohan was confused as he was told of the Legendary Z-Sword that he could pull out to use against Majin Buu. (A/N: Like the storyline.) So, Gohan agreed.

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

/Do you think that Kakarot will live?/ said Bardock as they watch from an emergency healing pod that King Vegeta allowed the warriors to use.

/I have no idea,/ said Vegeta as he closed his eyes. /He seemed concerned about you more than about his own wounds that he had no other choice but to defeat Brolly to save you./

/He did it out of love,/ said Bardock as he felt pain in his heart. /I know because he's feeling that too./

/How do you know?/ said Vegeta as Bardock held up his hand.

/About 7 years ago in the Room of Spirit and Time, I bit Kakarot's hand,/ said Bardock. /Last night when he bit my hand, he had no idea that we created a bond. This bond allowed me to feel his Earth-raised emotions and he picked up some of my Saiya-jin emotions through the link as well. What I feel right now comfirms it./

/A Saiya-jin Father/Son Bond,/ said King Vegeta as he overheard the conversation. /It's very rare. Only one out of 50,000 Saiya-jin fathers rarely complete a bond like that. If one dies though, the other won't die unless the bond's so deep that you are pact to each other's souls as well./

/Damn,/ said Bardock. /I wonder if that's why Kakarot knew that I was in trouble?/

/It probably was,/ said King Vegeta as they looked at Goku. /He's special somehow. I don't know why, but he seems like an incredible warrior when a battle arises./

/All the other times, he acts like an idiot,/ said Vegeta as he stretches. /I'm off to bed. Call me if you need anything./

/Maybe you should retire too, Bardock,/ said King Vegeta.

/No,/ said Bardock. /I'm staying./

/But you're hur.../ said King Vegeta as Bardock lashed out at him.

/I said I'M STAYING!/ yelled Bardock as his anger mounted.

/Very well,/ said King Vegeta as he hasted his exit from the room as Bardock sat down on the ground. His tail lashed as he looked up at his son's face in the tank.

'Please recover...' thought Bardock as he stayed up all night to watch over his son's unconscious body.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

CMG: Will Goku recover to face the next trial? Will the dark figure ever show itself again? And will I ever get my Vegetto back?!

Saria: Umm... you're scaring us...

CMG: Find out next time as... *Scrix knocks out CMG again*

Infr: You know, you're always knocking her out. Why don't you do something more constructive?

Scrix: You're right. *thinks of other ways to knock out CMG*

Karis: Until next time, read and review!
