(Note: This fic does by no way completely follow the DBZ story line after the cell games.
I'm creating an alternate reality after the cell games happened. So there may be new
characters, bring in characters already shown during the new sagas to be shown and some
returning character. Also the current characters personalities may vary slightly to show
my own view on them and the names will be to reflect FUNimations dubbing of the show. So
no Son Gokuu will be seen neither will any of the others. Please no bad email if you
don't exactly like how it is.)
"Afterlife Redemption"
Episode 22: "It Cant Be... Its YOU?! Vegeta Faces His Fear."
King Kaio turned to Goku with a sigh of relief, "Well son, its all up to him now. We just have to sit and wait."
"I hope he can handle it sir", Goku remarked, crossing his arms.
The two stood there staring at the large wooden doors, unbeknownst to them, a lone figure was watching them from
the shadows. He leaned against the wall, looking at Goku, smiling.
"So thats him, remarkable", the figure thought to himself.
Vegeta walked through the long and wide hallway, not really caring what would surface. Finally he came to another door,
this one had a plaque mounted on it.
"Only one who is free of his fears shall pass across this hallowed threshhold."
He just smirked to himself, as he pushed on the door. It didnt even move an inch. Vegeta growled as he pushed harder,
with the same result. The door just wouldnt open and the infuriated Vegeta just concentrated, raising his battle power.
"Final Flash!", he screamed as a powerful beam erupted from his hands.
It collided with the door, full force, causing a huge explosion and a cloud of dust. In moments the smoke cleared and
to his astonishment, the door still stood there mocking him. Vegeta furrowed his brow and was about to ready himself
for another blast when a voice rang out behind him.
"You were always obstinant and bullheaded Vegeta", the voice said in a low, calm tone.
Vegeta spun around, fists ready with an aura of energy wavering around them when he saw the person face. He was taken
back, sliding his foot back. The look was that of utter surprise.
"F..fa..father", Vegeta muttered quietly.
"Yes Vegeta, it is me, your father and I am extremely disappointed in you son. You have been a complete disgrace to
our family and I wont allow you to drag the royal name through the mud any longer", King Vegeta said as he powered up.
"No father, I am not a disgrace. You dont understand", Vegeta growled.
"Ney son you are the one who misunderstands. You allowed a low class warrior surpass you every chance he got, and you
let your people down. You even allied yourself with him on several occassions", the king barked loudly, as he slipped
into a Super Saiyan state.
Vegeta looked in awe at his fathers transformation, "You...you became a Super.. Saiyan?!"
"Yes my son, only to destroy you and reclaim our family's honor", he replied coldly.
"I did not dishonor our family", Vegeta screamed as he too became a Super Saiyan.
"You dishonorable dog, filthy mongrel, I shall put you down", he growled as he charged Vegeta.
Vegeta just stood there as his father struck him across the jaw with his fist. His speed was remarkable, Vegeta
couldnt even follow him. With lightning fast hits Vegeta was finally thrown to the wall, as embedded in it. He slid
to the ground, coughing up a small amount of blood. King Vegeta just stood above him, and laughed. A single tear
rolled down the princes cheek, as he balled his fist.
"Dont tell me you are really going to sit there and bawl like that. Youre pathetic, you dont even deserve to share
my bloodline. Kakarott is more worthy than you to be my son. At least he could avenge our people when all you could
do was lie there and cry before you finally succumb to your injuries from Frieza", King Vegeta said with a
distasteful tone, "I feel sorry for you, but that wont stop me from obliterating you from all existance like the
cowardly dog you are."
He layed there just shaking, his fathers words stung him like a poisonous scorpion. It hurt so much to recieve such a
dressing down by his own father. Vegeta just wanted to roll up into a ball and die. The tears freely flowed from his
eyes.
Goku stood there restlessly, tapping his foot. The Kaio looked at him curiosly, and wondered what was making him so
aggitated.
"Something the matter Goku", King Kaio asked.
"Its really nothing King Kaio, sir. I just have this feeling like Im being watched, thats all", Goku remarked, still
tapping his foot.
"Well we are in the other world, and there are always eyes upon you. You shouldnt worry so much", he replied, patting
Goku on the back reassuringly.
"No, no, these eyes feel familiar somehow. Like I know this person, their energy aura, its just...", Goku said.
"Hmm let me check", King Kaio replied, his antenna vibrating in the air until his eyes popped wide, "Youre right Goku,
you do know who it is, or should know."
"I should", Goku inquired curiously.
"Mhmm, right over there in the shadows. He is standing there, look for yourself", King Kaio laughed as he pointed.
"Ha ha ha, I didnt believe them when they said you could feel out energy auras. I guess they were right", a voice
said as he stepped from out of the darkness.
Goku turned around, and looked at the newcomer as a look of shock washed over his face. The person looked almost
identical to him, with a few minor differences. A crossed scar on his left cheek and his skin tone was slightly
more tan but other than that they were identical twins. He just crossed his arms and looked at Goku with an amused
expression.
"Is that any way to look when your father comes to say hello", he said, laughing lightly.
"Fa..ther", Goku uttered raising his eyebrow, "Youre my.. father."
"Yup I am, my name is Bardock, and I see you have a new name. Too bad, I always thought kakarott suited you. It was
your grandfathers name. He was a surprising fellow he was, his battle power rating was low at birth too. Thats why
our family was given a third class rating. Always knew you would grow up to show those ratings didnt mean
shit", Bardock laughed.
"Father", Goku said smiling.
"A man of few words I take it, good thing you take after your mother on that. I was always the talker, she would
always just sit back and watch with an amused look when I would get into trouble", he mused quietly.
"I apologize, its just that I... wow its wonderful to finally meet you father", Goku chuckled.
"No need, Im sure my name was mentioned or at least I was mentioned somehow. I was a very good fighter, though they
didnt think too highly of third classes. Thought up a few neat tricks in my day, some I know were used by the
best", he said with a heavy sigh as he slid his finger across the underside of his nose.
"Frieza mentioned you once before our battle, along with Vegeta", Goku said smiling.
"Well see, always knew I would become famous", Bardock laughed, "So Kakarott, or do you prefer Goku, lets sit and
get to know each other better. Ive seen all your exploits but Id like to know you as a person."
"Id really like that dad. Oh and Id prefer Goku, everyone but Vegeta calls me that", Goku replied walking over to
a bench.
Bardock and King Kaio followed as Bardock sat down. Goku sat down near him and the two conversed. King Kaio just
leaned against the wall as he listened in, nodding and smiling as his name was mentioned. The talked on and on
for quite some time.
Stay Tuned for the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Sj
