Fallen Hero

Chapter 1

CMG: *musing after the last chapter was posted and pulls a Jim Carrey* Alrighty then! I didn't get any reviews, but that doesn't mean that's gonna stop me from posting, unless I get flamed anyway.

Scrix: You'd like that, wouldn't you?

CMG: *acting normal* No, I wouldn't. *smiles* Anyway as usual, I don't own Dragon Ball Z. I only own some Saiya-jin Gods and Goddesses. Zi-Kita will be revealed this very chapter as the plot thickens. Oh, and I should warn you that there will be a rather interesting conversation between two characters that seem a little off of the action and a bit too casual, but what the heck? It'll get better as the story goes along.

Infr: It had better. I'm still waiting for the rest of us to get into this story.

CMG: Don't have a heart attack. Of course I'll include one of you. *thinking* And I'll stick to those words.

Bardock was upset. No, more than that. He was enraged. He never felt this much anger since the battle with Freeza and even then, there was someone there to keep him under control so that he wouldn't blow up the planet. Now, he was about to destroy the very solar system as his power started to rise and he didn't care anymore. Before he could go beyond Super Saiya-jin 3 though, a sharp pain was felt in his neck as someone knocked him out from behind.

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

In space, Goku woke up on the spaceship. His body was shackled against the wall as he tried to move, but couldn't. As he struggled to get out of the bonds, a baritone voice laughed at his misfortune as the laughter resounded around the spaceship. The position that Goku was in was similar than watching a horror movie, except this stranger had not yet killed the Earth-raised Saiya-jin.

/You cannot escape, Kakarotto,/ said the baritone voice in Saiya-go as the room was suddenly flooded with a blinding white light. Unable to see, Goku was forced to shut his eyes as he hissed in both pain and surprise at the mysterious being.

/Who are you and why did you capture me?/ growled Goku in the same tongue the figure used in pure anger and detest.

/I am Zi-Kita, and you, Kakarotto, are the very key of ruling the entire universe,/ said the stranger as Goku was finally able to adjust to the light and opened his eyes. There in front of him was a man wearing a cloak, but no longer wearing the hood. His hair was an ivory color, had ember-colored eyes, and seemed to look similar to Freeza in facial features, except for the fact that he had hair and was like any normal Saiya-jin. The weirdest thing was that this man had a black tail that almost blended into his gray cloak.

/What do you mean the universe?/ said Goku. /I have no intentions of doing what you tell me to do!/

/You're in no position to tell me what to do,/ said Zi-Kita. /I am far beyond your level and if I need to prove my dominance over you, then I shall./

/Then let me go and I will,/ said Goku angrily.

/Ah, but you might escape and head back to that little mud ball you love so much,/ said Zi-Kita. /To be blunt, even if I let you off of that wall, you cannot go back to Earth no matter how much you try to do that little teleporting trick you learned on Yardrat./

/How do you know I went to Yardrat?/ said Goku.

/To be honest Kakarotto, I have been monitoring your progress for a very long time and I know of the battles you had,/ said Zi-Kita. /Like the battle with Cell that you forfeited your life over and the fight with Majin Buu. Both of those battles gave me an insight on your true power and I plan on utilizing those abilities by any means necessary./

/What are you going to do to me?/ said Goku.

/If I cannot suggest you to willfully join me, then I'll do the next best thing,/ said Zi-Kita as his eyes began glowing a reddish color. /I will make you my mindless slave./ With no time to react, Goku found Zi-Kita's glaze hypnotizing him as he loses consciousness.

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

Back on Earth, Bardock wakes up as he finds himself lying on the ground staring at the starry sky. At first, he couldn't remember what happened, but within moments, everything came flooding back as he sat up in surprise. Looking around for whoever knocked him out, he saw Vegeta sitting on a rocky ledge in front of a roaring fire. The sun had long past set as the scent of a cooked deer hit Bardock's nose.

/About time you woke up,/ said Vegeta in Saiya-go in his usual arrogance. /You almost destroyed Earth by powering up./ Bardock said nothing as Vegeta handed him some meat and motioned him to eat. /What happened that made you power up like that?/

Bardock took a bite out of the meat offered and chewed it before responding to Vegeta's question. /Kakarot was kidnapped by Zi-Kita. The one who claimed was the God of the Saiya-jins because Infr didn't listen to our prayers. He also claimed he was the legendary, which by the way was a lie./

Vegeta was quiet for a moment. /Humph. I thought my father dealt with that bastard long ago. It seems we'll have to take care of the trash then./

/It won't be easy, Vegeta,/ said Bardock. /In my visions, I saw we were all slaughtered by Brolly. We barely beat him during the Trial of the Saiya-jins as a team. What makes you think that without Kakarot, we'll stand a chance?/

/Point taken,/ said Vegeta. /We'll need the brats to help us as well as my daughter and Gohan's brat./

/My great-granddaughter is not a brat,/ said Bardock.

/She acts too human though,/ said Vegeta. /Bra's been hunting already and she's killed her very first wolf a few months ago./

/I bet your mate was rather angry,/ said Bardock as he laughed at the former Saiya-jin Prince as he growled. /At any rate, we'll also need Piccolo for this battle since he's known Kakarot the longest and can help us plan out a strategy./

/That Namek will get killed in about five minutes against a Saiya-jin army,/ sneered Vegeta in anger.

/Then let him plan so we won't get our asses kicked,/ said Bardock.

/Fine,/ said Vegeta. /We'll also need rations, Senzu Beans or a healing tank, beds, a spaceship, and a training room. I'll get the woman to make a big enough spaceship to carry all of us to where we need to go./

/There's only one problem though,/ said Bardock. /Where are we going?/

/You mean you don't know where Zi-Kita's hideout is?/ said Vegeta.

/And you do?/ said Bardock.

/Actually, I don't,/ admitted Vegeta. /I wonder if those Gods know where to find Kakarot./

/These Gods do know, Vegeta,/ said a familiar voice as Vegeta and Bardock both turn around and see...

/Scrix,/ said Bardock.

/I overheard your casual conversation and it doesn't sound like you're too worried,/ said Scrix. /Normally, you both would be stressed out if something bad happens./

/Knowing that we're planning ahead will give us some kind of a way to win,/ said Vegeta.

/You haven't even seen the odds of rescuing Kakarot then,/ said Scrix. /You see, a larger number of the Saiya-jins have survived than what Freeza himself believed. If anything, you'll be battling about an army of 1,000 Saiya-jins who are stronger than the Ascended Super Saiya-jin. That's not even counting Brolly./

/So you're saying that our odds are slim?/ said Vegeta.

/No, I'm just saying that you'll need more than the fighters you have,/ said Scrix. /You're going to need some extra help./

/Great,/ moaned Vegeta. /And where are we going to get the extra fighting power to defeat this army?/

/Perhaps we can help,/ said Radditz as he and Nappa appear.

/What in the hell?/ said Bardock as he looked at his first born son in shock.

/Nice to see you too, dad,/ said Radditz.

/These two have changed a little and I've had permission by King Yemma to let them fight along side you to save Kakarot,/ said Scrix. /There are a few other Saiya-jins that will join us, but for now, let's get Vegeta's mate to make a spaceship that will fit everyone's needs so that none of us feel like we're going to get cramped up./

/You don't mean that you're coming too, aren't you?/ said Vegeta as though Scrix was going to break another rule on top of the others that he already broke.

/I am because Zi-Kita is too dangerous to let a normal Saiya-jin defeat,/ said Scrix. /He has reached the forbidden level./

/But the rumors.../ started Bardock.

/The rumors are true,/ said Scrix, /and if Kakarot's forced into joining him, there will be no way of stopping them!/

/Alright then,/ said Bardock. /We'll round up the fighters we can and prepare to go to Zi-Kita's planet, kick his ass, and save the universe as well as Kakarot./

/Right!/ said Radditz and Nappa as Vegeta smirks at how the other two fighters looked up to Bardock.

/We'll kick Zi-Kita's ass so hard he won't be able to sit in the afterlife for about 100 years!/ said Radditz.

/I'll show him how to treat elites!/ roared Nappa.

/He's not going to kill Kakarot when I'm around,/ chanted Vegeta as the trio began to grow rowdy. /Now let's go!/

CMG: Plot getting slowly interesting, check. Zi-Kita introduced, check. Goku becomes evil, wait, wait, wait. He's not really becoming evil. More like being controlled by some freak of nature that should have a creative license of ruling the universe.

Zi-Kita: *appears* Care to repeat that?

CMG: Yes. You need a life!

Zi-Kita: *grows angry* I'll kill you! *Scrix moans as CMG and Zi-Kita were about to rip at each other's throats*

Scrix: *goes Super Saiya-jin 4* STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! YOU AREN'T IN THIS, CMG, SO BACK OFF!!

CMG: You know Scrix, that's a bit early in this fic...oops!

Saria: She's given us all a spoiler! Get her! *Zi-Kita and the other Gods and Goddesses chase after the deranged authoress*

CMG: Damn it! Review or I'll remove this off Fanfiction.net! *chase continues until Zi-Kita trips over the cord and ends the transmission*
