A/N: My apologies for a typo in "Daddy's Little Girl" , it says after a
month of hard training and it should say several. It doesn't really make
much with Bebi popping up on Archenakia in the next chapter. It also says
chapter 3 next to the title instead of 4. Again my apologies, I guess I
need to read slower on my edits.
Chapter 7: Awakening
One Year After the Fall of Daricus:
Shin ducked as a rogue magic spell shot past him. "Hey watch what you're doing over there old man! It's you firing off random spells that broke the potara earrings and defused you're so-called permanent fuse between Kibito and I!" He fumed looking over at Elder Kai. "Besides we're almost ready to finish the plan the Ancients gave us and you could have just messed it all up!"
"Well fine no need to thank me for defusing you two. NO! Ancients forbid I should get any credit for anything I do." The old Kai sulked walking away.
"Aug... Ok let's finish this Kibito. On the count of three. 1, 2,3!" They slide the crystals into the stone sculptures's chests.
---------- ---------- ---------
"Vega! Wait what's happening to her?" Kaykora screamed running towards the fading image in the darkness. "What's going on? Where are we Naros? Why aren't we in the Otherworld yet?"
"I don't know what's going on Kayka, but come here. We need to rest. I feel so drained and I just want to lay down right here and hold you close." He replied walking over and taking her up in his arms. "She probably just went on without us is all. And we'll see her when we get there."
"You think so?" Kaykora asked hopefully as sh esank down to the ground in his arms.
"Yes." He replied quietly as they laid down and she snuggled into him.
"Ok..." She whispered as sleep overcame her. After what had felt like an eternity she opened her eyes again and got up. "Come on Naros wake up." She said quietly as she shook him gently. He opened his eyes and sat up. She looked around and something in the distance caught her attention. There was a bright glowing spot on the horizon. "Naros look! That must be the Otherworld!" She grabbed his hand and they started running towards the light. It became so bright that they had to close their eyes and feel around slowly to find their way. The light slowly faded and they began opening their eyes only to be met with something they didn't expect.
"IT WORKED!" Shin beamed as the pair fell over in shock.
"HOW DID WE GET HERE?! Or are you dead to?" Kaykora screeched getting up.
"Long it's a long story you see." Kibito started. "But how about we talk over lunch, I'm sure you must be hungry after a year of sleeping." The pair nodded in shock as they followed Shin and Kibito over to a table covered with food.
"So tell us this long story." Naros said after they had gotten a pretty good distance into the meal.
"Well you see shortly after Vegeta destroyed Daricus, Kaiokarsha brought us the body of Vega and a parchment with directions on it. As it turns out, Vega wasn't dead and in fact that meant you two couldn't technically die and pass on either. That's why you were able to stay behind in spirit and protect Vegeta." Shin began.
"And how did that happen?" Naros asked confused.
"Well see Vega was made in your images and a piece of your souls gave her life. As long as the part was in a living body, you couldn't pass on." Kibito explained.
"So then what?" Kaykora asked a little less confused.
"The instructions were how to build you new weaker bodies and then extract your soul pieces from Vega and re-merge them with the rest of your souls. It then told us how to get your souls in your new bodies." Shin went on.
"Heh... So she really did lie up to her promise..." Kaykora mused.
"What was that?" This time it was Shin and Kibito who were confused.
"She said she would die if it meant that Dad and I could be together..." She responded thoughtfully.
"Well see that isn't technically true on two parts. First Vega didn't die, she ceased to exist. Second, you can't go back because we don't know if we re-built you weak enough." Shin replied slowly as if he was afraid of the response.
"What do you mean? Ceased to exist? Can't go back?" Kaykora fumed bolting to her feet and grabbing Shin's collar. "You mean she no longer around period and we're alive but still can't see our families and friends again? We're stuck here?" Shin nodded slowly and regretfully. "The only plus side is I'm stranded her with you Naros." She whispered sitting back down. Naros looked at her funny.
"Ever since I met you, there's been something about you that I can't get enough of. Maybe it's your strength or compassion. Maybe it's the air of greatness that you give off. Or maybe it's the way you make me feel like I can do anything whenever I'm around you. What I'm trying to say is... Well I wouldn't want to be stranded anywhere with anyone else..." Kaykora looked at him a bit surprised.
"Are you trying to what I think you're trying to do?" She asked smiling.
"Yeah if the ring wasn't in my room back on Archenakia..." He replied awkwardly.
"Hold that thought." Kibito beamed as he stood up and took a step away from the table. "I'll be right back." He disappeared then re-appeared a few minutes later holding a tiny box. He handed it to Naros as he sat back down. Naros opened the box and smiled when he looked down at it.
"Be mine always." He said taking the ring out and placing it on Kaykora's finger.
"Of course!" She gasped hugging him not even bothering to look down at the ring. Shin and Kibito conducted the ceremony and gave them their own house off by itself on the far side of the planet from their residence. However it was Shin's gift to them that Kibito and the Elder Kai that meant the most to them. A viewing orb sat on a small cushion on a table in their house that they could use to see whoever they wanted whenever they wanted. Kaykora used it often to gaze on her family especially her little sister.
---------- ---------- ----------
"So ok I'm going to try it Kibito." Kaykora took a deep breath and put her fingers to her forehead. She concentrated hard on her destination and disappeared. A moment later she re-appeared on the Capsule Corporation front lawn. A little girl ran into the house and Vegeta and Bulma emerged from the front door but Kaykora disappeared again before they saw her.
"What did you think you were doing?!" Shin fumed when she got back.
"An experiment." She smiled. "You two did quite well rebuilding us because the universe didn't end and nothing came to a crashing halt now did it?" Shin blinked a few times as he tried to come up with a response. "Well all right! We have a date with a tournament and a big surprise for everyone! Besides I want to help them with this new threat!" Then she grabbed hands and disappeared again. "Boy is Dad ever going to get a kick out of this." She thought as they appeared in front of the Budoukai arena. They dashed off to find some decent disguises before the tournament started.
---------- ---------- ----------
Yes everyone that's right! They're back again! But just how weak are they? And how will their return play into the fate of Archenakia? Find out in future chapters of "Consequential Fate"!
