Chapter twenty-three - Arrival on Vegeta

Vadora stood with the others on the bridge of Hotaru's ship. They'd been traveling for almost two months now, Hotaru's ship was slower than the space pods, but it gave everyone time to train. They were now only few moments from Planet Vegeta now and they were taking in the beauty of the planet from space. It looked like a large Amethyst floating in the blackness of space. "It's beautiful..." Krillin said softly.

Vadora smiled. "It is, isn't it. The planet wasn't always this tint though. It was a ruby color originally, it's slowly becoming Sapphire in tone."

"How come?"

"Power." Vadora replied simply. "The vast energy of all the peoples on the planet cause shifts in the atmosphere and wind patterns. The Sai-jin games have been a leading cause actually. And of course, King Vegeta. He's well beyond any other Sai-jin in terms of power, even his son would stand no chance against him."

Krillin turned and looked down at the planet again. Only this time he didn't take in just the visual. His face paled. "H-how?" he stuttered in awe.

"What is it Krillin?" Gohan asked.

"The powers down there. They're massive... and there's one that's impossible!"

Gohan soon paled as well as he felt out the planet's powers. Curious, Vadora checked as well. "I'd had no idea..." she breathed as she sensed her King's power. No one knew how strong he really was, how much more power he had than the other people. She now understood how right her earlier statement had been. He was more than ten times the power of the second strongest on the planet.

Suddenly the communications console beeped and Hotaru brought up the message. Vadora knelt instantly as King Vegeta's face appeared on screen. "You can stand Vadora." he said in a deep voice. As she complied she saw the Prince standing to the King's side and back a bit. "I was expecting your pods, seems you've made some allies eh?" he smiled as he looked at the others. "Where are Appla and Bardock? Did they not survive the battle?"

Vadora heard a hint of worry in the King's voice. She knew how close he had become with Bardock, he may have been a low class warrior but he was a great fighter. "I don't want to give you all the details over an open transmission." she replied at last. Knowledge of the Dragonballs was something the rest of the universe could do without. "However, Bardock is still on Earth recovering from injuries to great to permit travel. As is his son. However," she looked at Gohan. "This is Bardock's grandson, Gohan."

"Hello sir." he said with a small bow.

"Gohan?" the king asked arching an eyebrow. It wasn't a Sai-jin name but then, the kid hadn't been born on Vegeta. "Well, we can do proper introductions later. Stop by the throne room after you land." With that the screen went blank.

"So he's the king huh?" Bulma asked. "Who was the guy behind him? He was kind of cute."

Vadora smirked as she glanced at Bulma. "That was Prince Vegeta." Bulma's face went red.

Frieza, who had taken to remaining in his final form, gazed out the bubble shaped window before him and at the stars in every direction. He was nearing the border of his empire, he didn't much like leaving it but his father had summoned him. Rumor had it that Cooler had also been summoned. Frieza wasn't to thrilled with the concept of meeting with Cooler. He despised his brother for constantly challenging his power. Suddenly he heard the door to his private chambers open and someone enter. He turned and glared at the figure standing there. "I hate being barged in on like that." he hissed.

"My apologies Lord Frieza." said the man calmly. The man showed no fear where as most people would have been shaking in fear when standing this close to Frieza. Frieza also knew that he only called him Lord Frieza out of respect. If he were anyone else, he'd be dead by now.

"Well, what is it? Have you seen something?" Frieza kept this alien around for his interesting skills. Somehow he could see the future, to a limited extent, among other things. Such as shrugging off a blast from Captain Ginyu that should have killed him. After all, his power level was only 152.

"That's the thing my lord. I can't see the future. All I get are colors."

"Colors? What do you mean?"

"They are shimmering for dominance in my visions. They are Aura's I believe. I also believe I recognize two of the three."

"You have my full attention Razor."

"The one aura seems to be yours Lord Frieza. It is black and red and within it seems to be your form. The second is your brother's I believe, for it is the same red and deep purple as his, but the form within is not. It is like nothing I've ever seen before."

"And the third?" Frieza asked intently.

"Golden." said Razor. "With a shape of a person in red within who's dark hair hangs in clumps. I've never seen it either." Frieza nodded and looked back out the window expecting to hear Razor leave. Instead, he spoke again. "The Golden aura seems to be the source of the struggle my lord. I fear it represents a threat greater than your brother, for his aura is being driven back as well. Whatever it is that is set to happen it's of such intensity that everything revolves around it. This golden aura... it seems to control everything." It was with those words that Razor left the tyrant alone.

Frieza sighed deeply as he watched a blinking red light slide past his ship. He was no longer within the borders of his own empire but those of his father's. /What could this golden aura be? Perhaps the conspiracy that runs within my ranks, and presumably my father's and Cooler's as well? I shall bring the matter up with father when we meet./

Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan looked around them in awe as they were led through various halls toward King Vegeta's throne room. The palace was amazing. It only took a few moments to reach King Vegeta's throne room. "Ah, Vadora, and our guests from Earth." he said as they entered the room.

"King Vegeta." Vadora replied with a nod. She glanced about the room and saw no one. She'd asked for a private meeting. If it weren't for the incredible power of King Vegeta drowning out all other near-by powers from her senses then she'd have detected the two hidden eavesdroppers.

K. Vegeta stood and walked down to the small gathering of people and looked them over, his scouter reading their powers. "Impressive." he said looking at Gohan. "Already at almost eight thousand and at such a young age. I don't see how it's possible considering your father's birth power."

Vadora looked over to Vegeta. "Kakkarotto, or Goku as he prefers, was at over fifteen thousand before we left Earth. There's no telling how much power he could have by the time he's recovered."

The king nodded. "Definitely a Sai-jin." He looked over to Hotaru and Krillin. "Your powers are impressive as well. If I'm not mistaken, you're a Tanarian."

Hotaru nodded. "I am Princess Hotaru."

"The Tanarian Princess? It's nice to finally meet you." He looked at Krillin. "And you're a native Earthling? A... Human? Correct?"

"Yes sir."

"I thought the average Human power was only 5." he mused reading Krillin's 6,315 power.

"Most Humans aren't that strong." Bulma said. "But Krillin grew up with Goku."

The conversation continued on simply for the next hour as Vegeta had food brought to the throne room and they all ate. Afterwards he had a few guards escort Hotaru and the Earthlings to their quarters for the night insisting they get a good sleep before setting off for Namek. After that was attended to he asked for Vadora's report. She started with the unexpected powers of Goku and the others on Earth, then the tournament and Kui's subsequent attack. The deaths of Bardock and Goku as well as their resurrections. Vegeta agreed that knowledge of the Dragonballs was something that Frieza, and the rest of the Cold family, should never posses. However he wasn't willing to give the Earthlings any more aid. Namek was in Frieza's territory and a small party would attract less attention.

However, there were two sets of ears that had listened to this conversation. As Vadora turned to leave the throne room Prince Vegeta slipped quietly from the room thinking of the possibilities the Dragonballs presented. If he attained them he could fulfill what he felt was his destiny, he could become a Super Sai-jin and overthrow the Cold Family. Meanwhile the owner of the other set of ears made his way to a communications room to contact Frieza.
