(A/N: In response to Gomers question, yes, Vegeta is capable of SSJ4. I assume that since Goku only needed to use the moon (or the Earth in his case) the first time, and then he could transform at will, the same should apply to Vegeta and he should only need Bulmas machine the first time.)
Chapter 4: Rebirth Of Gotenks
Trunks was the last person to arrive at the lookout to find everyone else, including his mother, already there. Vegeta was leaning against one of the trees and everyone else was just standing around as if they were waiting for something, he assumed it was probably him. His father pushed off of the tree and walked over to him as he landed. Vegeta looked at him with an extremely frustrated expression. "Alright Trunks, we've decided we need the time chamber...and it would seem that you and Goten are the only ones who can get us in."
Trunks looked at him puzzled for a second, then caught onto what his father wanted him to do. "You want us to fuse? But I'm not even sure if we can get in from this side..."
Vegeta just scowled at him and raised his voice slightly from annoyance. "Well then we're not going to find out if you refuse to try now are we!!!!"
Trunks took a couple steps back knowing that he probably should even try to argue. But then again he knew Vegeta was right, there really wasn't any harm in giving it a try, it was the best chance they had at getting in after all. He nodded at his father and then walked over to Goten. "Alright Goten, you ready."
Goten looked somewhat excited about fusing again after this many years. Trunks wasn't so enthusiastic, as he knew that they had a good chance of screwing it up after going this long without practice. Goten nodded at him and the two got into position while everyone else watched them. The two of them started the dance, and everyone was relieved to see that they were doing it perfectly.
As the both moved toward each other they said "Fuuu..." in perfect unison. Then "sion!" as they did the quarter turn. Then bent over toward each other with their fingers outstretched, but at that exact moment something over by the lookouts main building caught Gotens eye. Their fingers touched together as Vegeta yelled "IDIOTS!!!!"
Everyone else knew exactly what he was yelling about. Trunks had said "Fuuu...sion! HA!" and done the dance perfectly. Goten had also done the dance perfectly, but he had obviously said "Fuuu...sion! Huh?" accidentally saying "Huh?" instead of "HA!" as he noticed whatever it had been.
The light cleared out to reveal an extremely skinny old man standing where the two had been, everyone recognized him instantly as the old form of Gotenks. Vegeta was standing there shaking in anger with his fists clenched. "DAMN IT!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!!!!"
Gotenks simply turned his head as quickly as he could, which wasn't very fast at all, toward Vegeta. Then turned over toward where he had noticed the object and pointed with a stupid look on his face. Everyone else turned and looked where he was pointing and several of them almost fell over startled. Standing there, were two people they had never seen before. One was without a doubt a Changeling, he was in his final form, which was the form Cooler reached that Frieza never did. Leaning on a tree beside him with his arms crossed was a man that looked only a few years older than Vegeta, with dark brown spiky hair and a furry tail wrapped around his waist, a Saiyan. If the shock of them just being there wasn't quite enough, the effect was topped off by the halos that each had floating above their heads.
Dende was the first to recover enough to say anything. "Who are you!?! And what do you want here?!"
The Changeling chuckled lightly and took a step forward, Vegeta got into his fighting stance as he did so, ready for anything. The Changeling glanced over at him and grinned. "Calm down Vegeta...I'm not here to fight you..."
Vegetas expression went from extremely pissed off about the events of the last couple days, to confused as to how this lizard knew his name. The Changeling just laughed again and went back to talking. "My name is Glacier...and this", he motioned toward his Saiyan companion, "Is Cabago, you Vegeta would probably know him better as the Legendary Super Saiyan..."
Vegeta reached a new level of surprised as he quickly looked over at the Saiyan leaning against the tree. "What?! But that's not possible...Brolli was the Legendary Super Saiyan, and we killed him a long time ago!"
Glacier was about to start talking but was interrupted as the Saiyan called Cabago finally decided to speak. "You killed that Legendary Super Saiyan...every thousand years one will appear", he glanced up at Vegeta, "and I died one thousand years ago...I am the one that all of your legends told of, I am THE Legendary Super Saiyan!"
Vegeta tried to give a sarcastic response, but found himself speechless. For some reason he actually believed this guy was the legendary one. Once it became apparent that Vegeta was done, Glacier continued his explanation. "A thousand years ago the two of us died in combat against a creature called Prism. We thought that we had taken that creature down with us, apparently we were wrong. All we managed to do was blow him into thousands of tiny pieces and over time those pieces grew, each becoming a "Prism" of their own. As you are all aware, those pieces of Prism are now on a direct course to Earth, and will be here in eight days. Myself and Cabago have been sent back to this world temporarily to help you in the battle, then we will return to other world...and with any luck you won't be coming with us."
Everyone stood there in silence, all thinking through the information that had just been thrown out at them. Nobody had a chance to speak before Gotenks started to glow, then there was a blinding flash across the lookout. When the light faded, the two Half-Saiyans were standing right where they had been when they had completed the fusion a while before. Glacier and Cabago both looked at them with incredibly confused expressions, and Krillin stepped up as he noticed this. He figured it was probably the only use he'd get to be in this problem, so he spent a few minutes explaining the process of fusion to them, then told them all about the plan to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Cabago looked even more confused after the explanation then he had before it, but Glacier nodded, seeming to understand what he had just been told. The next hour dragged by slowly as they waited for Goten and Trunks to be able to attempt the fusion dance again. Everyone spent the time talking, including Glacier who seemed interested in what had been taking place in the living world. Vegeta and Cabago each sat leaning against their own trees with their arms crossed in complete silence, the two seemed to have a lot in common when it came to personality.
Finally the hour was up and the two warriors got into position for another go at the dance. To everyones great relief, it went completely flawlessly. When the light cleared this time, there was an adult version of the Gotenks that had fought Majin Buu years before. He looked around at everyone with a smirk on his face, but it didn't last long seeing as Vegeta had reached his limit, if anything else went wrong he was going to go berserk. "Don't just stand there you idiot!!! DO IT!!!!"
Gotenks looked at his half-father and shook his head back and forth with a sarcastic look on his face, trying to taunt Vegeta. Thankfully he decided he'd better not go far and tensed his muscles, starting to power up. His hair stood on end and turned gold, this got Cabagos attention instantly, as he hadn't been aware that any of the others were Super Saiyans. The legendary Saiyan climbed up onto his feet in surprise as Gotenks hair spiked even more, and blue bolts of lightning started to surround him as he reached SSJ2. Cabago nearly passed out after what came next, there was a bright flash of light which cleared to reveal Gotenks standing there with hair all the way down his back, having gone all the way to SSJ3.
The fused Super Saiyan Three didn't waste any time as he turned toward a spot where no one was standing and...started screaming. Cabago looked at him with the most confused look imaginable, this guy had more power than he could even dream of and he was standing here screaming like an idiot!
Glacier looked confused at first too, but caught on as a circular portal ripped open in front of everyone...the opening to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Vegeta took a step forward toward it. "Alright! I'm going first..."
Gotenks turned to Vegeta with a stupid smirk on his face. "Are you now?" And with that he leaped backward through the rip, Vegeta stood there with his mouth hanging open as the portal slowly closed behind the fusion.
