Vegeta emerged from the dark forest and up to his father's palace. Nothing here seemed to change. It all looked the same. He closed his eyes as he could feel his skin start to tingle and slowly pull apart. Soon, he was nothing more than a shadow. With a sleek elegance, he glided under the main doors and into the main hall. Yep, nothing had changed. Every vampire was sitting around, having one big elegant 'party' that never seemed to end. He let out a soft sigh before he continued to the throne room. He stopped by the doors and watched his father deal with another vampire. When he left, Vegeta slowly and carefully glided over to the throne.

"Who's there?" King Vegeta announced.

Vegeta stopped in his tracks; it was only a matter of time before his father would sense him. Vegeta could feel his skin tighten and start to pull together.

"Hello, father," Vegeta said with a cocky grin.

Two of the guards that were by the throne ran up to Vegeta. Each guard grabbed him by the arm and began to drag him out of the throne room.

"You should have known better than to come back here, Vegeta!"
"Then I guess the life of my sister is of no concern to you!"
"Guards!"

The guards stopped dragging Vegeta and walked back to King Vegeta's side. Vegeta walked back up to the throne and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Explain yourself."
"Chi Chi is trapped in the demon lands, and we need to go through the door to go get her."
"When you say 'we', you mean…"
"Bulma, Kakarot, Gohan, and myself."
"Gohan? Who is this Gohan?"
"Your grandson."
"I see."

The two stood in silence, staring into each other's eyes, looking for something. Both looking at one another in a challenging way. But neither was backing down. King Vegeta let out a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes and rested his head back against his throne.

"Very well. I grant you four permission. Next time you return, I will have someone out front to escort you in."
"That won't be necessary. Thank you, father."

Vegeta gave a small bow before he turned on his heel and marched out of the throne room. King Vegeta looked down with a saddened look in his eyes. He brought his hand up and rested his head in his hand.

"Chi Chi, my daughter, please be all right."


A/N: Hey everyone. Listen, I don't want to give too much away, but I just want to let you all know that in some upcoming chapters, there is going to be a special guest from another one of my favorite anime shows. I was hesitant to do this at first, but after a while I saw that it's actually working out pretty nicely. Anyway, I'm tired, school sucks, and life goes on. Take care everyone.
