Chapter 9: Reunions
Vegeta and the other out ran the ship and landed in eager anticipation to finish this and get things sorted out. Vegeta stood out in front with Vega in front of him and Kaykora and Naros on either side. "It's nice to be fighting side by side with you again Daddy."
"The feelings mutual... Where the Hell have you been young lady?" He griped.
"Long story..." She moaned as the ship landed. Four golden auras shot up and they dropped to fight stance. Parago started to run up to join the fray but Bardock grabbed him by the shoulder and held hi back.
"Just watch... They are a strong family and can more than handle this I'm sure." Parago looked at him funny but then nodded in silent understanding. He realized from the way Vegeta re-acted to the Vega that he hadn't seen her for a long time if at all. This was family bonding time. The drop down door to the ship opened slowly and an eerie golden glow poured forth.
"Fu... Crap we have a Super coming our way now." Vegeta cursed. The door dropped down and they dropped down into stance ready to assault the first thing the moved. But their fears were put to ease when Parago took off running towards the ship.
"That's Momma's energy!" He leapt over the still lowering ramp and there was a thud and Pallas fell over the side with Parago on top of her. Starfire rushed forward and pounced on both of them. The ramp lowered all the way and everyone looked in awe at who was standing there. Kaykora inched forward with wide-eyes and Bardock rushed a few steps forward but then dropped to his knees next to Vegeta. Kaykora looked the man in the eyes a few moments then dropped to one knee in front of him with her head bowed.
"King Vegeta... Your first born grandchild "Kaykora, the strongest female of our races..." Pallas muttered. "Why she's alive right now, I have NO clue..." The King looked down at her then pulled her up and looked her in the eyes again. After a tense moment he smiled and she took his hand and led him forward in front of Vegeta. Vega reached up and took her Grandpa's hand and Vegeta squeezed it.
"Grandpa... It's your Daddy..." She whispered. Vegeta let go of her hand and stared at his father long and hard. His father doing the same until he did something none of them expected; he reached out and hugged his son. Vegeta stood in shock a few more tense moments before hugging back.
"My son look at you..." He said pushing his son back. "You are a Super Saiyan just like you always dreamed of! I'm so proud of you just look at you..." Vegeta's eyes grew wide and Kaykora could tell he was trying to hold back a tear.
"Thank-you Father..." Vegeta choked stiffening up. "But what brings you to this dimension?"
"Well you see that's a long and complicated story that I believe that young lady can explain better than I can." He looked over at Pallas.
"That's going to have to wait! We have incoming!" Kaykora shouted pointing to the sky.
"I bet that's them returning with the Blackstar Dragonballs!" Gohan exclaimed. Floating up into the air. Vegeta looked at his son confused.
"There's a lot of talking to be done when everyone is here..." He sighed. The mob gathered at the Lookout to get everything sorted out.
"Ok so let me get this straight... There's a parasite alien taking over Archenakia and possessing its inhabitants but most of them evacuated to the old planet... And you left Brolli behind to try to stop it... And you want Goku and the Saiyans here, to go back and help you defeat this thing that they thought they stopped earlier but didn't." Krillin reviewed.
"But Goku's been turned into a kid and doesn't have the same power he used to have." Trunks added.
"So now then what's YOUR story?" Vegeta asked looking at his daughter.
"Vega, the first Vega wasn't dead, and because part of our souls were in her we couldn't pass on. So Kaiokarsha gave the Kais instructions on how to build us weaker bodies and put our souls back in them. But we couldn't come back because they weren't sure if they made us weak enough. So we stayed there, got, married and had this Vega." Kaykora explained. Vegeta then turned his attention to Pallas.
"And what is your theory on my father?"
"Well Frieza was one of Daricus's henchmen and when we wished back the planets and people killed by him and his men the Dragon must have interrupted that as at any time and brought back Vegeta-sei and it's people. Then when we went on to wish them back to the way they were before they were destroyed so they'd have no memory of what happened." Pallas explained as Parago snuggled into her side asleep.
"That sounds like a good enough answer for me." Gohan commented. "It makes sense." Vegeta then turned to his father.
"So how did you find out about Archenakia?"
"We sent out scouts to check the region around Vegeta-sei for threats and one landed on Archenakia and reported back a huge Saiyan population. I went personally to check it out and that's when I found Pallas. The one reason I saved her at all is because she had the Elite seal on."
"Well that's comforting to know..." Pallas muttered. The King growled at her slightly. Pallas rolled her eyes. "I bow down to Kaykora not you. She's my ruler not you..."
"I can see this is going to be a problem..." Kaykora muttered shaking her head.
"I am still your king by history!" The king fumed. They went back and forth for a few minutes getting louder and louder waking Parago up in the process. Vega and Kaykora clenched their fists and their power levels crept up slowly as they listened to the mindless drabbled. It was obvious the Vegeta was exactly thrilled with listening to the argument. All at once three golden auras shot out illuminating the Lookout.
"WE'RE WASTING TIME!!!" They all fumed in unison. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at them a bit surprised. The three looked at each other then detransformed and looked at everyone else.
"Think they're trying to tell us something?" Zani mused.
"Before we go any farther I just want to know one thing." Carlia said quietly. Everyone looked at her. "Do you still have yours?" She pulled up the chain that her pendant was on. The blue charm dangled in the air, the tiger seemingly defiant on the chain.
"What's that?" Starfire asked coming over and looking at it. It started to glow when she touched it and the glow intensified when one floated out of her chest and hovered in front of her. Pallas walked over and put it around her daughter neck.
"It's a pendant of the Ancients it signifies that you are chosen to protect everything good and right in this place while you're alive. You must have inherited it from me when you were born." She said quietly.
"If our children get our pendants, then why did Vegeta and Kaykora both have one and Bardock and Goku?" Zani questioned looking at everyone.
"Unless Vegeta's pendant and Kaykora's are the same because when Kaykora woke up in the future, Vegeta would have been dead and that's what may have caused them both to have it. And if Grandpa passed his pendant on to Radits and Radits didn't have anyone to inherit it when he died it may have gone back to Bardock when Kaykora revived him. But that would mean Dad would have gotten his from Grandma." Gohan deduced after a few moments of thought.
"That could very well be..." Bardock replied with a nod. "That would explain why Carlia and Elsie would still have theirs only if Goten and Trunks still have theirs..." Everyone looked at Goten who sheepishly pulled the pendant out from under his shirt. Everyone then looked at Trunks who did likewise.
"Then that can only mean one thing... Parago, Mailis, and Pan have to have pendants too."
"My mother..." Kaykora said seemingly randomly.
"Huh?" Naros looked at her funny.
"I got my pendant from my mother remember? She got it from her adopted mom and then gave it to me." She replied quietly. "And if Goku is the only Saiyan in his family why did both of his children get pendants?"
"That's right I guess it doesn't really matter how we got them does it? The fact of the matter is ther probably not going to need them." Naros said nodding.
"I'm not so sur eabout that Honey... Something keeps pulling at my heart telling there's a greater evil lurking than this Bebi..."
"WAIT A MINUTE!!!" Pan snapped. "What's all this pendant talk about and who has one and who doesn't?!" All of the chibis gawked at her.
"You're honestly telling me your parents never told you about the Ancients, the pendant or Daricus?" Yarro asked in shock. Pan angrily shook her head then shot her parents a death look.
"Well if you hadn't ran off I was going to tell you!" Gohan soothed nervously.
"It's partially my fault so you can't be entirely mad at them." Vegeta replied sadly. Pan looked at him a minute before Yarro snatched her arm and dragged her off.
"Come on we'll let the parents talk and we'll tell you everything. Won't we guys?" Starfire glared at him. "And Starfire..." The chibis nodded and followed after them. Vega grabbed Pan's arm and looked her in the eye before leaning in and whispering something to her.
"You can't transform can you?" Pan shook her head no. "Don't worry, I'll help you and the others don't have to know..." She ripped Pan from Yarro's grasped put two fingers to her forehead and disappeared.
"She knows I.T. ..." Aarian comment impressed. "It took Starfire almost a year to master that technique and she can still only teleport herself."
"We had excellent teachers." Kaykora mused. "Now down to business... Who's coming and who's not?"
Vegeta and the other out ran the ship and landed in eager anticipation to finish this and get things sorted out. Vegeta stood out in front with Vega in front of him and Kaykora and Naros on either side. "It's nice to be fighting side by side with you again Daddy."
