A/N: This is the GT sequel to "The Lost Soul". I suppose reading the first story isn't completely necessary to follow this story. However, I highly recommend it just so everything is made clear. If you're interested in this story but are too lazy to read the first one, email me with any questions. Thanks! Enjoy!

I don't own Dragonball/Z/GT nor am I affiliated with anyone who is!

Summary: The strongest warriors have left Archenakia and now live out their days in peace. But why is it that when Goku leaves it all goes down hill? Now it's up to a bunch of refugees and the Earth's Saiyans to step up and save their race from a seemingly unstoppable evil. Without the help of the Ancients can they summon up their power within? Or will the universe fall at the hands of Bebi once he controls all the beings in Archenakia, even Brolli...

Consequential Fate

When heroes fall from grace and power often new heroes must rise to the challenge. When the pillars of strength crumble and fall, a new order will rise in its wake to fill the void. For some it is choice, for others circumstance; but for those select few, it is Consequential Fate that makes them heroes. But fate isn't the only thing that drives when so much is at stake. The heart is a powerful thing that should never be underestimated.

Chapter 1: The Fall of Daricus

"Aug... What's going on?" The United groaned as it got to a sitting position. It looked on at the huge attack Vegeta was forming then shot its gaze over to Daricus. "Someone's going to have to stop him..." It groaned again as it pulled itself up. "This is going to hurt..." It whispered as it started to stagger off towards the fiendish God. Just then Vega shot past it a disappeared into the mists. "Vega... No!" The United transformed as it gather strength from some unknown region of its souls as it charged ahead trying to beat the attack.

---------- ---------- ----------

Vega disappeared and her afterimage faded. Even in the gravity of the moment, Vegeta's heart silently broke as the last bit of his daughter slipped out of view. The words echoed again in his mind. "It's now or never and honestly I'd like to try and live to see what a real life is like."

"Guess you'll never know now will you?" He thought as the blast hit and an explosion rocketed back towards him. Everything went black for awhile as he slammed into a pillar.

---------- ---------- ----------

Vega started blasting Daricus's head and kept it up for all she was worth. "Just a few more seconds." She thought to herself as he tried desperately to fling her away. "KIA KARU!" A voice shouted as a blast hit Daricus in the eyes and blinded him just before the blast hit him. The united grabbed Vega in anattempt to protect her but was just split second too late. The blast exploded just as it grabbed her hand to wrap her up. The damage had been done. It wrapped her up in its wings and shot back to Vegeta who had slumped over on the ground. It slumped over him with its wings spread out for protection. Slowly the explosion blew away its body until all that remained was its soul remaining on this plane by sheer will power.

Vegeta started to come to slowly. He pried his eyes open and looked around. A green fog seemed to cover everything in a haze. Just as he tried to move he realized it wasn't a haze at all, he was being sheltered by something. He spun his head under and saw the United clutching Vega in its arms and its wings were wrapped around him.

"What happened? How are you still here?" Vegeta questioned the spirit. It unfurled its wings and released him.

"I'm stubborn like you and I wasn't going to pass over so easy twice." It replied smiling.

"Is she?" Vegeta looked at Vega.

"I'm afraid so..." It responded gravely. "But don't worry we're watching out for her on the otherside."

"I know." Vegeta pulled himself up. "Good-bye and take care of yourselves..." He reached out apprehensively and hugged it then backed away.

"Good-bye..." It whispered as it faded away. Vegeta looked down at his hand and noticed a green substances like blood on it. He eyed it strangely and wondered if even spirits could be killed. He slumped down and wondered about what had happened after he passed out and whether or not Kaykora and Naros were strong enough to make the trip to the otherside. "If a spirit dies then what?" He wondered. "Is it lost forever? No I won't think about that now... I can't..." He got up and started walking away. He held his head high even though there was great sadness in his heart as he walked towards the portal to the universe.

"Great strength of heart and character are the beings you created Kaiokarsha. And wonderous are all the children of that plane. When times are hard they can cast aside all differences for a common cause be it good or evil." A wispy pale woman said as she held her slashed wrist over a flask. "Never again shall innocent fall like that for our motives." She whispered as drops of glowing green trickled into the flask.

"Goddess are you sure it's wise to keep flasks of your blood like this?" Kaiokarsha questioned as he placed the sword back in its respective place.

"You'll be protecting them now won't you?" She replied with a smile as she handed the flask to him. The other Ancient God handed him a flask of glittering blue.

"Of course." Kaiokarsha bowed taking the flasks. "What shall I do with the sword now that it is unnecessary here?" He asked picking it back up.

"Give it to the Kais." She replied with a smile. "Someone shall pass by them that can use it. And see to it that the new plans are delivered to them." She pulled a long thick rolled parchment from her sleeve and handed it to him. He looked at her strangely but then bowed and walked away.

"What was that?" He asked as a blue drop of blood splashed on the alter and the doors opened again.

"A little present from the Mother of Life to your son of Strength." She responded as they turned and walked back into the temple.

"I'm not sure exactly what that's suppose to mean but I'm sure I'll see it soon enough..." He shrugged as she laughed as the doors closed behind them. "You and you're crazy ideas like leaving the door cracked so we could get out and do this when the battle was over. I think my foot got bruised when that maniac attacked them and they were plastered to it!"

"Poor baby. Now come on I think you need a nice 500 year nap."

"Do not!"

"I love it when you're cranky."

"Want to create a new race to pass the time?"

"Why not a whole new galaxy? You know those take more time."

"Awe I hate puzzles!"

"Well you sure put enough of them together..."

"At least that means there'll be a new Kai running around..."

"This is true..."

Beyond galaxies/ I forge ahead/ Towards the land of light Rising high Rising high

Strong light gives birth to a shadow/ Not "power" but "the flow" you grab onto/ You are the one to decide what you want to do/ It's always your turn from now on

(Let's Fly) Through the sky that shines/ Dazzlingly blue in the eyes and swim through the seas/ (Net-Sky) To us who raises our hands high/ Adorn the sky and hang on to it/ Someday a smile shall reach "Beyond Galaxies Rising High" Kageyama Hironobu. English lyrics provided by
