Unexpected Fate

Chapter 40

CMG: We'll skip along to the storyline since I'm not in the mood to...

Scrix: You're going to do what? Go Super Bitchin' 3 again?

CMG: *goes Super Bitchin' 3 and nukes Scrix to Mexico* What I SAID was that I'M NOT IN THE MOOD TO PLAY AROUND TODAY AND I WILL GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! *reverts to normal as she realizes that Scrix is gone. *sighs* Not again. *runs to car to go to Mexico as Karis nervously walks out with some guns in her hands*

Karis: As usual, CMG doesn't own Dragon Ball Z. She only own a beautiful and old haggy goddess, a hunky and old fart god...

Infr/Saria: What?! *chases Karis with knives as she runs away*

Saria: I'm not an old hag!

Infr: And I'm not an old fart! Just read the damn story already!

Morning sunlight poured into the King's Special Medical Room as Bardock woke from only a few hours of sleep and looked around. The difference with this room compared to the other Medical Room was that there was a smaller cupboard with a medical table that was mounted on the wall. (A/N: Not one of those flimsy ones that look like they'll fall apart if you jump on it too hard.) On the ceiling was a hand-painted stain glass window with pictures of the moons of Vegeta along with it's sun hanging in the sky. A celestrial-like being was painted with a whitish aura with wings like a dove on it's back was battling against a being that was surrounded with darkness with wings of a bat. Bardock was so mesmorized with the window's decoration that he thought back to the vision.

'I remember a being doused with darkness as I watched the villages burn,' thought Bardock. 'If that's the next challenge, then what will happen to my son?'

The doors fly open as he's distracted from the picture and sees Vegeta walk inside.

/What were you looking at?/ said Vegeta.

/I was looking at that.../ said Bardock as he noticed that the stain glass window vanished. /...window. Okay. I must be going insane./

/You're probably exhausted,/ said Vegeta. /Go get some rest./

/Not until my son's life signs improve!/ said Bardock with fierce anger in his voice.

/It's too soon to know if he'll recover in a day or a week,/ said Vegeta. /You'll be too tired for the other trials if you worry yourself over Kakarot!/

*Dad,* said Goku's voice mentally as bubbles from the tank are heard, *Vegeta's right. You need to rest or you'll be too exhausted. Besides, we're on this for a reason. Remember Majin Buu?*

Bardock was surrounded in darkness as he suddenly remembers the pink chubby blob and the old prick he vowed to kill for possessing Goku as a growl emitted from his throat. /I remember Majin Buu and that bastard, Baba-di! I will blast that bastard's head off!/

/And I'll dance on Majin Buu's grave after I kill him!/ growled Vegeta as he too remembered the real reason they were on Vegeta in the first place. /But first, we must finish these damn trials!/

/What trials?/ said King Vegeta as Vegeta and Bardock suddenly realize who overheard the conversation at a very bad time.

/Damn,/ said Vegeta. /You weren't supposed to know that we.../

/That you were on the Trial of the Saiya-jin?/ said King Vegeta. /Saria had visited me in a dream and told me the reason you were here in the first place./

/So you know?!/ said Vegeta.

/Of course,/ said King Vegeta. /Why else did you think you could hide it from me that you were here because of that reason?/

*King Vegeta,* said Goku's voice as he was a bit surprised at first. *It's a long story how we've ended up here and it's hard to explain it to you since in the universe we came from, you and the other Saiya-jin were killed, all except us three.*

/What happened to Radditz and Nappa?/ butted Vegeta as he overheard the conversation.

*Sorry Vegeta,* said Goku. *Anyway, Piccolo killed me and Radditz and Vegeta later on killed Nappa before I had our first battle on Earth.*

/How are you alive?/ said King Vegeta.

*As I said before, long story,* said Goku. *After that battle, I was injured and had to recover before I resumed my training and went to Namek to save my friends. The Ginyu Force gave us some trouble and after we barely defeated them, I was reunited with my father and he watched over me as I recovered from the fight. Scrix and Karis also came and tried to convince me that I was a Saiya-jin, but I refused to accept it at first. However, Vegeta reminded me twice, once when he was dying at my feet and another time in a vision that I was a Saiya-jin.*

/It was so that Kakarot wouldn't lose hope,/ said Vegeta as Bardock stared at him in surprise.

*Once I thought I killed Freeza, Scrix blessed me with the power that healed my injuries, but not my energy as he and Karis disappear into the heavens,* continued Goku. *Then, Freeza showed up and killed by best friend, Krillin, and my ally, Piccolo. I told my father, best friend, and son to leave with Piccolo, but he killed Krillin and I felt something inside of me snap. I was unsure of what it was that made me transform into a Super Saiya-jin, but I remember that I was so angry at Freeza that I...*

Goku suddenly felt something as Bardock saw a dark aura around his son's body. Wires snapped as electricity shocked Goku's body underwater. Vegeta slammed his fist into the tank and pulled the door off it's hinges as Bardock and King Vegeta reached for Goku's body. As Bardock ripped the mask off, Goku's body spasmed as he seemed to thrash around.

/He's having a seisure!/ said King Vegeta.

/No, the demon's attack him!/ said Bardock as he transformed into a Super Saiya-jin and pumped his energy into Goku's body.

/Stop!/ said Vegeta. /You'll strengthen the demon!/

/He's not listening,/ said King Vegeta. /He's acting out of instinct./

/Then how are we supposed to help?/ said Vegeta as Goku suddenly stopped thrashing and Bardock passed out over his son's unconscious body completely spent. /Is he-?/

/No, but he's too weak,/ said King Vegeta. /It's like something drained Kakarot's strength./

/Demon... / moaned Bardock. /He has... Kakarot.../

/What?!/ said Vegeta.

/This must be the third trial!/ said King Vegeta. /You're the only one to stop the demon./

/Me?!/ said Vegeta surprised before he became rather serious. /Of course. I'll destroy that demon and make him pay for what he's done./

/You've grown soft,/ said King Vegeta as Vegeta face vaults.

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

Bardock looked around as he saw nothing but darkness all around him. He didn't know where he was as he saw Goku's lifeless body on the ground.

/Kakarot!/ yelled Bardock as he lifts his head on to his lap.

//Fool!// said a voice that seemed to echo all around him. //You are not able to save your son from what he truely is deep inside...//

/What are you talking about?/ growled Bardock as he saw the figure appear in front of him. It was his son, even though he was in his arms. /What kind of trickery is this?/

//Brolly has done well feeding me his evil to return,// said the demon. //Once I defeat Goku, who lays in your arms, his mind, body, and soul will be mine forever!//

/NO!/ cried Bardock as he cried out in rage.

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

Sweat drenched Bardock's hair as he woke up in a bed. Not far from him laid Goku's body, pale as a sheet as Bardock felt his life force very weakly. As he got out of bed, he didn't make it far when he fell to the ground and couldn't find the strength to stand.

'My body must be still exhausted from giving Kakarot... Goku my energy,' thought Bardock as he dragged himself to Goku's bedside and used the edge of the bed to stand again. 'Goku... please get better. I pray to Infr that you recover!'

Bardock fell upon the bed as he weakly climbed on to it to keep himself from falling to the floor again. He looked at Goku as he seemed so helpless and weak. Tears flowed freely as he curled up next to Goku's body as a small sparkle shines above Goku's body. Bardock felt energy as he opened his eyes and saw more sparkles appear as a figure emerged from the light. It was...

/Saria!/ said Bardock. /Where have you been?/

/Infr has sent me to help you,/ said Saria. /Because of Kakarot's condition, I have brought something that might help both of you out greatly./

Saria took Bardock's palm and placed a piece of fruit in his hand. Bardock looked at it confused as it seemed to glimmer with a golden color.

/What is it?/ said Bardock.

/That is the fruit from the Tree of Might that has grown upon a planet that has long ago been destroyed,/ said Saria as she takes another out. /It will increase your strength, but it won't be by much. Unfortunately, these are the last two fruits that were sacred to Turles when he purged his last planet using the tree./

Bardock took a bite. He was surprised as his strength increased that he ate the rest of the fruit in seconds. He then looked down at his son.

/Give me the fruit so I can feed him,/ said Bardock as he cut the fruit carefully and gave him slices at a time. Slowly, the color returned to Goku's face as he seemed to become stronger. As Goku opened his eyes, the last bit of the fruit passed his lips as he munched down the fruit. (A/N: Flame me for all I care for that scene, but I write this fanfic for a reason.)

/Dad,/ said Goku as he weakly got up. /What did you feed me?/

/It was the last of a forgotten fruit from a tree Turles used to destroy planets,/ said Bardock. /Saria gave us the last two to fight the demon that's after you./

/I know who the demon is,/ said Goku sadly as he looked away from Bardock. /It's Kakarotto./

/Kakarotto!/ gasped Bardock. /You mean that... /

/In this world, Kakarotto has killed everyone,/ said Goku. /He's after me to gain my power and if he gets it, he'll destroy the universe since it will merge both his and mine to bring his power level to over a billion. He showed me visions of death and destruction. He's also stolen some of my strength and if Vegeta haven't of interferred, he would have gotten more. To make matters worse, I can't transform into a Super Saiya-jin 3 anymore./

/You can't be weakened by that much!/ said Bardock.

/I can barely go ascended Super Saiya-jin. I can't fight against him because I'm too weak,/ said Goku as Bardock growled. Before he knew what he was doing, he slapped his son in the face. (A/N: CHILD ABUSE! Bardock's finally slapped Goku in the face?! Nooo!)

/Stop assuming what your strength may be and grow up!/ said Bardock. /Kakarotto may have your strength, but he doesn't have your fighting spirit! You may be weakened, but you're still flesh and blood./ Bardock embraces his son as Goku cried against Bardock's shoulder in sadness. /We'll find a way to defeat him. I promise./

/You should take Kakarot away from here, Bardock,/ said Saria. /It's too dangerous./

/I know,/ said Bardock as he focused on any random energy signal out in the wild. /I'm going to fly blind, but hopefully, we'll be far enough to evade Kakarotto./

Bardock teleported out with his son in his arm. /Good luck,/ said Saria as she vanishes.

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

Meanwhile, Trunks and Goten were flying around in the sky towards a grassy clearing with backpacks on their backs. As they see a suitable place, Trunks and Goten start gathering logs to start a fire. Then, they go catch some fish to offer to the Saiya-jin God as a peace offering.

"Do you think this will work?" said Goten as he places the fish on the logs.

"I don't know," said Trunks. "I read this in a book one time and I heard that if you give the God a suitable offering, he would do something."

"I hope this works!" said Goten. "Should we offer the prayer in Saiya-go?"

"I don't know many words!" said Trunks. "My dad would call me a 'brat' or a 'son of a bitch' in Saiya-go."

"Hey!" said Goten. "Maybe I should say the prayer since my grandfather taught me the language secretly behind my mommy's back.

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

Elsewhere, Chi-chi sneezed.

"Are you okay?" said Yamcha.

"I'm fine," said Chi-chi as she blew her nose. "I guess I'm just worried about my boys and father-in-law."

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

"Okay Goten," said Trunks. "Say 'O Saiya-jin God, let us travel to your world.'"

"That's easy," said Goten as he began to speak in Saiya-go. /O Saiya-jin God, grant us passage to hell./ (A/N: Uhh... that's not good.)

Suddenly, the ground beneath the boys opened up and dumped them into a pit of fire as their screams were heard.

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

"What's this?" said a figure as a brown tail swayed. "One looks like Kakarot..."

"Ungh..." said Goten as he comes to. The figure turned out to be a female Saiya-jin. "Who are you?"

"Huh?" said the woman. "You look like Bardock's kid alright. But I thought you would be older."

"You mean my grandpa?" said Goten.

"I didn't know he had grandchildren," said the woman. "What's your name?"

"My name's Goten," said Goten as Trunks moans. "Trunks! Are you okay?"

'Strange names,' thought the woman. "Pleased to meet you, Goten. My name is Celpia. I'm Bardock's mate."

"You mean you're my grandma?!" said Goten. "Cool!"

"Celpia! Who are you speaking to?" said a man who appeared and looked like King Vegeta from the other timeline in the alternate universe. (A/N: Where Goku, Bardock, and Vegeta are at.) "Your son's a boy? And he's down here? I thought he was in Heaven!"

"This is my grandson, King Vegeta," said Celpia. "And if I'm not mistaken, that purple-haired kid is yours."

King Vegeta passed out in shock.

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

Bardock appeared in a forest as he let go of his son and looked around. As they walked through the forest, they found a village as natives surrounded them and took them into the village. Deciding not to try to escape, they surrendered peacefully and were lead into a hut made of erik (deer-like creature) hide and were kept watch by two native guards. Hours later, a man walked in as both Bardock and Goku were both surprised at what this man looked like before them. He had ivory white wings upon his back, a rather strange gray-furred robe, and the red mask that looked like one from Princess Mononoke. (A/N: Well, use your imaginations!)

/Who are you?/ said Goku as the masked man looked at Goku and Bardock.

/My name is Wingdof,/ said the man as he gestured the guards to leave them in peace. After they left, Wingdof sat down on the ground before and started a fire. /You two are here because you're in need of guidance. Both of you have no idea how strong you truly are./

/How are we strong?/ said Goku as he remembers the demon.

/If you stop thinking of the things that make you seem weaker, then your true strength will show,/ said Wingdof as if he was reading Goku's mind. /I know everything you've gone through and I am reading your mind, Goku. Or Kakarot as some call you since it's your Saiya-jin name./

Goku was speechless. /You know of my son, so you know of his ordeal,/ said Bardock.

/Of course, and I know of you as well, Bardock,/ said Wingdof as Bardock felt a chill run down his spine. /You have nothing to fear of me. I will help you if you trust me. I know Kakarot's willing, but you Bardock need convincing./

Wingdof's wings opened as he placed his hands on Goku's shoulders. /What are you-?!/ started Goku as he seemed rather tense.

/Relax,/ said Wingdof as Goku took a deep, slow breath as he closed his eyes. /Now this will feel rather enjoyable, but just feel it.../

Wingdof then grabbed Goku's tail as he softly rubbed it as Goku suddenly opened his eyes in surprise. His body felt so relaxed as Wingdof continued to rub Goku's tail gently as Goku closed his eyes again to enjoy it. Goku lost himself in pleasure as he began to feel himself purring deeply in his chest. Bardock was only getting pissed off.

/Excuse me,/ said Bardock. /Why in the hell are you rubbing my son's tail?/

/He's too tense,/ said Wingdof. /He needs to relax quickly so that I can help him tap into the power he has deep within himself. You too will have to relax after I'm done./

/Still, you're.../ said Bardock as Goku became limp and nearly fell over. If Bardock haven't of caught him in time, Goku's hair would have been on fire.

/There,/ said Wingdof as he released Goku's tail. /Now watch./

Wingdof's wings begin to glow in a white light as Goku's body seemed to radiate with a calm, peaceful glow. He arched his back as if a huge jolt went through him and suddenly transformed into an ascended Super Saiya-jin.

/He's ascended!/ gasped Bardock in surprise.

/That's not all,/ said Wingdof as he began to purr gently into Goku's ears. Goku began to purr again as he felt so much power, that he wasn't sure he had, ripple through his body as the golden mane began to grow out down to the small of his back. /Now for the heart virus' damage that's keeping him from his full potential./

/His full potential?/ said Bardock as he saw a rather dark gray surrounding his body starting to lighten to a beautiful whitish gray. As Goku opened his eyes, Bardock saw that they were golden orbs as Wingdof's wings stopped glowing and Goku reverted to normal.

/How do you feel?/ said Wingdof as Goku looked at his body.

/That was great!/ said Goku. /Dad! You should have it done to you! I felt so calm that I felt my strength pumping through every fiber!/

/Is this true?/ said Bardock as Wingdof nodded his head.

/It's your turn./ Bardock didn't have time to prepare as the gentle rubbing started at the end of his tail as he tried to resist it at first. /Don't resist. Just let go so that you can find the power deep inside of you.../ The rubbing went further down as Bardock moaned/purred in pleasure as he let go.

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

/Gone?!/ roared Vegeta. /What do you mean?/

/We can't find Kakarot or Bardock, Prince Vegeta,/ said a guard.

/Those two better be alive or so help me I'll go to the Other World and make it into hell for both of them!/ yelled Vegeta as he slammed the door, knocking a rather nice large painting over onto the stair posts where it was punctured in two places. King Vegeta growled.

/I wish I could be a Super Saiya-jin so I can kick my son's ass!/ said King Vegeta as the other servants looked in shock and confusion. /Well don't just stand there, clean up this place!/

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

Ripples of energy flowed through Bardock's body as he underwent the same treatment Goku had a few minutes before as Wingdof's wings glowed. He felt so much power that he thought that the world was destroyed and was rebuilt around him. It was like Goku had described it as Bardock felt his strength growing much stronger with every breath he breathed before it suddenly ended. He opened his eyes and got up rather surprised.

/You two are now evenly matched,/ said Wingdof. /Before you leave, I want Kakarot to see what's become of the counterpart that lost to Kakarotto.../

Wingdof's wings spreaded as Goku saw a spirit with wings on his back. The spirit's intangable form touched Goku's face as he felt it.

/Are you really me?/ said Goku.

/Yes,/ said the spirit. /I am what's left after Kakarotto took over my body. That's why it's up to you to defeat Kakarotto and set me free./

The spirit faded as Goku stood there quiet for a few minutes. Then, he looked at Bardock as he clenched his fist. /I want to thank you dad. And you too, Wingdof. I promise that I'll stop Kakarotto and let my counterpart rest in peace. But first, can we have lunch?/

Wingdof and Bardock both face vault.
