AN: I've added a bit of Goku/Vegeta into this, so if your gay intolerant don't flame me you been warned.

Chapter 4

"Look Mr--"

"Vegeta, Prince Vegeta."

Gogeta rolled his eyes, *prince of a large pile of rocks.*

"Prince, Mr, whatever. The boy is supposed to be resting. I don't know who you think you are but that boy needs his rest!"

*Go Madam Pomfrey,* Gogeta sniggered to himself knowing his grandfather's reaction. *Hay least he's concerned about me, even if he would never admit it.*

"Look Dad, I think your over reacting a little." A new voice stated.

Gogeta felt his father's ki now who must have been suppressing it before to follow without being detected. *Always the voice of reason Dad. I can just pray he made mom stay at home or I am really in for it.* It was then he felt his mother coming through the window into the argument. *Oh no, I am going to be so dead.*

"What happened my little boy?!"

"Look Pan honey, as I was trying to tell my father there is no point jumping the gun here, it seems he's ok. Let's just try and find out what happened."

"See what happened? I felt his ki spike higher than he's ever gone before from the other side of this backwater planet! That boy's been up to something."

"Vegeta is right Trunks. That isn't exactly an everyday occurrence."

Gogeta decided he had enough and got up and gone out to where the arguing was going on. "Look I happen to be really tired I used a lot of my energy fighting against some sort of barrier to do an instant transmit. I almost hit Super Saiyan 2 and I really need some sleep to get my energy back!"

"Instant transmit? What where you using that for?" Pan asked also having felt the same barrier trying to get here.

"Well let me answer that." Professor Dumbledore answered from beside the doorway accompanied by a worried looking couple. "Young Gogeta felt that there was something wrong when one of his fellow classmates, Sarah Glen didn't show up for class. He tried to tell his professor that something was wrong, but since we are not accustomed to having ki sensors yet alone such a talented one among us, no one believed him. Your boy Mrs Briefs, took the only course of action possible for him to take, he got to Miss Glen and thought off a particularly nasty banshee. If it was not for his quick thinking and actions I would be performing the solemn task of bringing Mr and Mrs Glen here to see their dead child, instead of taking them to be there when their daughter wakes up."

"I'm afraid Sarah sleep walks, it must have been how she got there. We are greatly in your debt young man, however can we repay you?" Mrs Glen approached Gogeta and shook his hand.

Gogeta just smiled. "You don't owe me anything mam... I just did what I had to. Really I don't want anyone's thanks."

"I said it before and I'll say it again, he doesn't get it from my side of the family. The boy is just like Kakarott," Vegeta muttered.

"Thanks Grandpa Veggie. I love you too," Gogeta said back to his grandfather just to frustrate him, who only replied with one of his smirks and stood silently eying him up.

Pan hugged her little boy tight, while Trunks ruffled Gogeta's hair affectionately until the boy protested, even if he was secretly enjoying every second.

The headmaster's eyes twinkled. "I believe fifty points to Gryffindor is in order for your bravery. Now I believe Madam Pomfrey will indeed hex us all within an inch of our lives if we keep our young hero out of bed any longer."

Gogeta sighed and went back to bed while Mr and Mrs Glen sat by their girl's bedside.

"Now, since the three of you came so far in such a short time, why don't I show you around, and you can join us for lunch."

Vegeta looked like he was about to protest until the word lunch was mentioned, then he turned into a typical Saiyan male and followed the headmaster with the promise of food.

Gogeta found himself in a forest, but not as thick or dark as the one outside the school. He had no idea where he was, or what he was doing there.

He looked down at himself and found he was in Saiyan camouflage armour, his skin painted and his body was too big to be himself. He had no weapons, or gadgets, other than a band that goes around his head with a green eye peace that he vaguely remembered to be called a scouter. There was a large explosion, he fell to his knees, scouter on the ground smashed. Then he noticed a muddy puddle, taking a long hard look he seen a face vaguely like his own, black hair pulled back by a red headband, and the one notable difference was there was a scar on his cheek, and he was older looking no more than eighteen.

"Bardock! The inhabitants of this planet has been hiding some sort of secret power our scanners couldn't detect. We've lost over half our men."

As if he had no control over what was happening to him he got up and stood on his feet, "get the men to relocate somewhere safe, I'll hold them back."

With out another word the solider screamed out a retreat and about six saiyan warriors ran past in the same dress only without the headbands while he took a fighting stance and looked on.

Gogeta sat up straight to find himself still in the hospital wing, little time had passed since he fell asleep. The sweat was pouring off him, and he was shaken. It had all seemed so real, he was there in Bardock's place. He could feel everything that Bardock was going through, he could see every detail so clearly, smell the smell of battle in the air, the fear and adrenaline mixed with the thick woodland smell, polluted with charred bodies and undergrowth.

His saiyan instincts was on high alert still, and was only started to calm down as he noticed the smell of disinfectant, and Madam Pomfrey running over to him.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea, just a bad dream I'll be fine."

"Well you look a little spooked. What you need is some chocolate."

He was handed some chocolate and after convincing the medic he was fine, he sat there in contemplation. *That couldn't have been real... could it? Who is that Bardock guy and why did he look so much like me? What has this got to do with me... I feel connected to him somehow...*

"Hay brat."

It was then he noticed his grandfather had come in and sat on his bed. He had thought he had gone with his parents earlier when they came back up to say goodbye. "Grandpa, what you doing here?"

Vegeta smirked. "Didn't think you'd get rid of me that easy did you?" At his grandson's blank look he added, "the headmaster offered me a job. I'm supposed to take these idiot weaklings for an hour a week and teach them to use their ki energy. Had to think about it for awhile, but I think I'm up to the job. After all any old idiot can do it with the proper instruction."

Gogeta got over his shock quickly. He really didn't know who to pity most, the students or his grandfather. "Least the food is good," he added almost as an after thought. He knew his grandfather had sensed something wrong and was why he was really there. Vegeta was always there for his grandson even if he never did openly admit it. There was no point trying to hide what happened to his grandfather, he would undoubtedly get it out of him eventually one way or another. "Who is Bardock?"

Vegeta looked surprised for a minute then looked at Gogeta in contemplation, "why do you ask?"

"You know someone by that name then?" Gogeta didn't want to give anymore away at this time in case he would just be made into an idiot if it was his imagination.

"Yes when I was young, still a boy before Frieza. He was a warrior and scientist on Vegeta-Sei. Claimed to be able to see the future, everyone considered him to be a little crazy because of it. If only if they had listened to him Vegeta-Sei may still be around today. Now why are you asking me?"

"I-I had this dream... I was this guy Bardock because someone called me by that name.... I was me only older... it just seemed so real."

Vegeta petted his grandson on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it boy, it's just a dream mixed up from everything that happened to you today. Bardock was your Great Grandfather Kakarott's father. You may have just heard the name before somewhere."

"Yea, your probably right," Gogeta sighed dejectedly wondering if it was or not.

"Now try and get some sleep. I have you in the morning with the first year Slytherins, need someone to help me show those fools a thing or two."

Vegeta lay down on the roof of the astronomy tower in super saiyan four form. It was a full moon tonight and he could control his transformation in this form. He had long learned he could stay in this form for a very long time taking a page out of Kakarott's book and stayed in the form as long as he could without feeling weird till he could do it all the time.

He lay back and looked up at the moon, and felt a panging loss of someone he didn't know he had wanted in the first place until it was too late. All the obsessing, the hate, the respect, the jealousy. It all made sense to him now, he was in love with the earth raised saiyan Kakarott, and he was always too prideful to admit it. From the moment they first laid eyes on each other it was like they where a part of each other. Kakarott completed him, he gave him a purpose to exist. Now he was gone, he has had a large gap in his soul, a soul he only found he had since he came to this planet, one that he at first thought against, thinking it had made him weak. Later though Vegeta realised it was his soul that made him stronger, he would have never hit Super Saiyan without discovering it, which was why Kakarott beat him over and over, why their children was so able to reach SSJ level at a young age, and why there was no Super Saiyans in so long. The soul of the Saiyan people was ripped out and torn by years of mindless violence and greed for power, so consumed by their greed all else was put to the wayside.

Vegeta was now a changed man, no longer the ruthless killer, no longer the all consumed man that wanted nothing but to be more and more powerful. His training was no longer to try and beat his old rival, no now it was because he knew Kakarott was counting on him to protect the planet now he was gone. He was going to have to be the one to stand up and fight to save not only the earth, but his family, his friends and loved ones. He excepted the job in the hopes if more people knew how to use their ki the planet will be a safer place when he eventually leaves for the next dimension.

No Vegeta was no longer the proud arrogant saiyan prince. He was now a man who had a heart, and knew how to use it.

"Why did you have to leave me?" Vegeta asked out into the empty void, hoping against all hopes he would be heard somehow. A single tear escaped down his cheek but was wiped off by a foreign finger.

"It was for the best Vegeta."

"Why?" He responded automatically.

"I couldn't let the earth face the same danger again by letting the dragonballs be misused again."

It was then Vegeta realised who was talking and turned to face a familiar set of dark cheerful eyes with a big familiar goofy grin. "Kakarott?"

"Well that's what people say my name is anyway," he joked.

"Is that really you?"

"Yes Vegeta, it's me. But I'm not really here. It's the magical energy in this place lets me sit up here and talk to you like this. I can't stay long though."

"I'm sorry for everything I said and done to you that was mean in the past. I'm a changed man."

He felt Goku's hand clasp gently on his shoulder. "I know. I know a lot these days... just wish I wasn't too stupid to understand most the stuff Shenron crammed into my head."

Vegeta aloud a slight smile, same old Goku. "It's good to see you again."

"Same here. You done a good job training Gogeta. Quite the little warrior we got there."

Smirking Vegeta replied, "as if I would do anything but a good job training him."

"He's going to need you a lot more than ever soon. He's going through some changes."

"He's hitting that age. I am staying here to make sure he don't tare down the castle," Vegeta replied in a joking manner.

Goku stood up and pulled Vegeta up with him. "Well I got to be going. Shenron is getting inpatient."

Vegeta looked Goku in the eyes, he knew it was now or never or he would regret it the rest of his life. "Kakarott, I--I eh..." He swallowed hard. "I love you. I know it's stupid and absurd and you would never --"

He was cut-off as Goku's lips descended on his, tail and arms snaked around him in a loving embrace. Vegeta wasn't long to respond and kissed back with a hunger like he needed this, like he needed the very air he breaved. They broke apart and Vegeta could feel his heart pounding a mile a minute.

"I know. I love you too Vegeta. I think I always have." He continued to look into his eyes lovingly. "I have to go now."

"Will I ever see you again?" Vegeta croaked out mournfully.

"Yes, before you know it. Then we will be able to be together, but till then look after everyone for me." They let go of their embrace and Goku faded away disappearing like he was never there.
