Attack on Fushigi
It was almost three months since Fushigi left the woods to follow his new fighting career and already he was one of the most popular Saiya-jin in the entire Third Kingdom. Everyone was talking about him and wanted to see that boy who can fight like a pro. This was music to Cucumer's ears as he was making a lot of money as he made young Vegeta fight every night at the Third Kingdom coliseum.
"Don't forget we are partners so we split the dough fifty fifty now!" Anaki said to him after one of the boy's fight.
"What? I am the one doing all the work its 20% for you and 80% for me sister!" Cucumer said.
"No way! Fushigi is the one doing all the fighting you just take care of arrangements!" She replied.
"Exactly! Without me kid you wouldn't know what to do!"
"Wrong, I can always find somebody else to replace you, and don't forget I am the one who persuade him to fight for you one word from me and he'll leave! So you should be glad I only want half of the profits, after all I have to take care of the little champ and his mom!" She said while crossing her hands.
"You drive a hard bargain kid, fifty fifty it is." Cucumer said defeated.
"Alright!" Anaki said happily.
"For someone as small as you are you're pretty smart!" He grumbled.
"What do you want me to say we kid learn fast." She replied and flew toward Fushigi who was coming back from the fight.
"Sugoi[1]! You deck that guy so fast that even I couldn't follow your movements! You are amazing!" Anaki said to his friend with admiration.
"Yeah, I think I improved a little bit." Fushigi replied smirking as there were two things he never got tired of Anaki's praise and the spectators' awe.
"You are being modest you did more than improve, Zucchini would be so proud if she could see you." Anaki said than bit her lips when she saw Fushigi smile disappeared.
"I know I missed her too, but with all the money we are making here she won't have to worry about a thing anymore." She said and the boy looked toward the forest direction and sighed.
"I know but she's already on her second semester." Fushigi said while walking toward a tavern where Anaki had rent a room for him to stay.
"Don't worry we'll be back before she give birth to the baby." She said to him.
"I am hope so. Tell me Anaki when is the Great Tournament again?" He asked.
"In six more months, but I think you'll have to wait for the next one." She said.
"Why can't I participate in this one?" Young Vegeta asked.
"Well, because you aren't strong enough." She said.
"Says who?"
"Come on Fushigi the participants of the great tournament are out of your league." She replied.
"You are wrong Anaki I know what I am capable of." Fushigi said confident.
"Don't let a few wins get over your head buster!"
"You'll see I am going to be one of the three fighters of the Third Kingdom!"
"Well okay then I'll be cheering for you, so you better not loose." She said in good spirit.
Three months later Fushigi was in the top ten list of fighter when he left to go back home to help Zucchini who was going to have her baby soon. One night while sleeping Anaki woke up because she heard noises outside and woke her friend up.
"Did you hear that?" she asked him.
"No." The boy replied half asleep.
"Fushigi there is something outside."
"It must be some wild animal; we are living in a forest you know." The boy said annoyed.
"That doesn't sound like any animal I know."
"Ok I am going to check it out." He said jumping out from his bed and walked outside followed by his friend.
"What's that?" She said when she saw a small robot leaving through the forest.
"I saw one like this on the spaceship." Fushigi replied.
"You are right, but what is it doing way out here?" She said and they run after it.
"Ouch! We should have brought a flash light or something." the boy said after walking on a tree.
"No problem!" Anaki said as she began to glow in the dark
"Cool! I didn't know you could do that"
"Yeah I am my own personal lamp!" She said smirking
One hour later they stopped amazed at the scene before them, there were hundred of robots all around the ship repairing it.
"Who activated them?" Fushigi said while looking at them work.
"I don't know maybe the pilot is back." She said so they went inside of the ship but found no one.
"Nothing." He said.
"Well let's go back to bed." She said and they left.
Three days later while the children were playing outside Zucchini called the boy
"Fushigi go get the midwife quick I just broke my waters!" the woman and the boy flew outside and came back a few minutes later with the old woman. One hour later Zucchini gave birth to a healthy baby boy
"How are you going to call him?" the boy asked while looking at the baby.
"I am going to call him Kale" Zucchini said smiling
"Hi Kale! He looks just like you Fushigi!" Anaki said flying around the baby.
"Yeah right! He doesn't look anything like me!" He replied.
"Too bad you aren't related he would be as strong as you are. My husband was really strong I hope that our son will be too." Zucchini said.
"Don't worry I'll train him." The boy reassured her. Anaki and Fushigi stayed an entire month with Zucchini and the baby before leaving for the tour.
"Fushigi?" Zucchini said before they left.
"Yes." He replied.
"There is something I didn't tell you about my husband death."
"What is it?"
"He didn't die during a bar fight he was assassinated and I suspect our good emperor to be behind it, so be careful ok."
"I will." Fushigi said hogging her before taking off.
"Hey Anaki, please look over him for me." Zucchini said to the tiny girl.
"Sure." she replied and flew away.
The last two months Fushigi made it on the list of the three fighters who will represent the Third Kingdom in the great tournament, and the next day of his nomination he went to the emperor's palace to present himself as participant. He couldn't help being in awed before the magnificence of the royal palace and they stood mouth wide open when they finally met the king in person. He was tall and muscular had a light tan short silver white hair and a pair of glistening amber eyes.
"I congratulate you on your achievement young warrior." The emperor said to Fushigi.
"Thank you your majesty." He replied bowing.
"Well then, the tournament will take place in two days on the great Vesuvius amphitheater in the mountains, but you are invited at the buffet at the palace tonight enjoy yourself you deserved it." The emperor said and dismissed him.
Soon after he left, one of the emperor spies that he had been watching the entire empire came to Turnip with the recording of the boy's fights and began to comment.
"That little boy is really strong and could be dangerous."
"Are you implying that I emperor Turnip should be scared of that twerp?!" He said dangerously.
"No! Of course not emperor!" the spy said afraid.
"Nothing can stand between me and my empire! And here you are bothering me with that squirt!" Turnip roared at him.
"Sorry your majesty!" The spy said trembling with fear while getting up to leave.
"Who told you to leave?" Turnip asked him and the spy kneeled back rapidly while imploring for forgiveness.
"I don't want to be bothered so get rid of him. Dismiss." The emperor said
"Yes my lord!" the spy said leaving while Turnip was looking at the boy's fighting techniques pensive.
Fushigi went in the buffet and ate as much as he could and didn't notice one of the servants drugging his food. When he was full, he left the buffet wondering if Anaki was still awake.
"She must be still mad at me for not bringing her with me." He said while flying but had to land in midway because he didn't feel good.
"It must be something I ate." He said while walking back and didn't notice the two men that were following him. Young Vegeta had to stop for a moment as his vision became blurry and it was at this moment they chose to attack him. The boy tried his best to defend himself but fell under the drugs effects, one of the men moved behind him and snapped his neck, young Vegeta's body fell limply on the ground dead.
"Isn't a shame to come that far and broke your neck while falling down one day before the great tournament." One of the men said laughing and left in direction of the palace.
