Background : Takes place eleven years after the first chapter. Thrax still doesn't have the ability to tranform into a Super Saiya jin but is stronger than Matt when both are in their regular forms. Matt and Raven are together and Raven lives with their young daughter Luna. The Teen Titans have disbanded, all of which having their own families. Robin still lives in the old Titans Tower along with his wife, Starfire, and still fights crime. In Hell, Princess Rikku ended up mating with Radditz. The two fell in love after Matt ditched Rikku eleven years before. The pair had a daughter which they named Lena. After a series of events (that take place next chapter) Matt and Thrax are named commanders of the Saiya jin army on top of their duties as guards.
This day was a day of celebration as it was the birthday of the second daughter of King Vegeta, Princess Kalla. Throughout the day gifts arrived for the young princess. This birthday was special because it meant that the Princess would soon begin to seek out mate and all the eligible men wanted to stand out in her eyes. They didn't know that she had made her decision years ago, the only problem was the man she chose already had a mate.
"Is everything set for the party tonight?" King Vegeta asked as Matt and Thrax entered the Throne Room.
"Everything is ready." Matt said, "Where is the birthday girl"
"Spending her last time as a child opening gifts like mad." The king chuckled, "I called you here for another reason."
"You know that your wish is our command." Thrax said.
"I was contacted by Mez a moment ago, he says a Saiya jin just arrived in Hell and is causng havoc. He wants me to send someone to bring him here." The King said, "I want you two to go and get him"
"No problem." Matt said, bowing and leaving the room.
"So how many Saiya jins aren't accounted for yet?" Thrax asked as the two flew out a window.
"Only Kakkarot and Prince Vegeta are unaccounted for." Matt replied, "But who knows how many little half Saiya jins could be running around the galaxy."
"You mean I blew my self up for nothing!" Vegeta screamed, randomly firing off energy blasts, "Everything I had and still that monster was able to reform unscathed"
"Please calm down!" Mez screamed, hiding behind Goz, who was hiding behind a rock, "Everyone makes mistakes! There's nothing you can do about it now"
"Yeah!" Goz cried, "Please don't hurt us!"
"Looks like Vegeta." Matt said, "You want to talk to him first?"
"I don't have a choice do I?" Thrax asked.
"I had to confront Brolly, I still ache from trying to restrain him." Matt said, remembering how it took hundreds of fighters to get Brolly into a containment cell, "And he looks strong so it's your turn to get beat up"
"Fine." Thrax groaned as he flew down towards the rampaging Prince.
"Your highness!" Thrax said, landing in front of Vegeta and getting punched so hard in the gut that he was thrown skidding across the ground.
"Finally you two arrive!" Mez screamed as Matt landed beside him, "Get him out of here"
"Who are you!" Vegeta exclaimed, "How dare you get in my way"
"I think I am needed." Matt said as Vegeta punched Thrax again.
"Please Prince!" Thrax exclaimed as Vegeta powered up and energy ball. Vegeta hurled the ball at Thrax only to have it explode before it struck it's target.
"What the?" Vegeta exclaimed as Matt stood there transformed with his arms in a blocking position.
"Are you going to come easily or am I going to have to knock you out and drag you to your father?" Matt asked walking right up to Vegeta.
"You dare try to intimidate me!" Vegeta exclaimed, transforming as well and shocking Matt. Vegeta launched a punch at Matt's face and Matt tried to block. Vegeta easily overpowered Matt's defense and sent him flying across the ground.
"Now that you have learned who is superior." Vegeta said, returning to normal, "Take me to my father"
(A/N - Did you think for a second I would make Matt stronger than Vegeta)
"Well that makes at least two saiya jins who can beat me up." Matt groaned, "Bad memories of Brolly"
"Prince Vegeta, if you would follow us." Thrax said, bowing slightly.
"Hurry up, I don't have all day!" Vegeta snapped.
"No you have all eternity." Thrax chuckled, getting socked again by Vegeta, "Okay, I'm sorry!"
"I don't believe this!" Vegeta exclaimed and the trio flew over the Saiya jin city.
"It's usually nicer but ever since Frieza arrived there have been consant wars with the Ice jins." Matt said.
"You should see how we leave their city." Thrax laughed, "A dozen times they've attacked and they always fail. the only Ice jins that are a challenge are Frieza, Cooler, Glacius and King cold"
"I get the honor of beating them since I'm the only one able to transform into a Super saiya jin." Matt said, "Aside from you Prince"
"Tell me, is my sister still the brat she was before Vegeta blew up?" Vegeta asked with a snicker as the group landed in the palace courtyard.
"If you mean Rikku then yes." Matt said, "Thrax go inform the King that we've arrived"
"Gotcha." Thrax said, flying into a window near the throne room.
"You look familiar." Vegeta said.
"You probably saw Thrax and I when you came to Earth a decade ago." Matt said, walking through the halls of the palace with Vegeta, "Had Kakkarot not won the fight I would have stepped in to save the planet. I wouldn't let any harm come to my mate"
"So you mated an Earthling too?" Vegeta chuckled, "Hope you mate isn't as pushy as mine is"
"Presenting Prince Vegeta!" A lower ranking guard yelled out as the two entered the throne room. Vegeta's entire family was present in the throne room. The family he knew, his mother, father and Rikku, and the two members he was meeting for the first time, Max and Kalla.
"Father." Vegeta said, bowing to the King.
"Vegeta, my son, How you've grown since I last saw you." King Vegeta said, "You look so strong now, I'll have to see how your strength compares to my elite guards."
"Actually, he pretty much crushed us with one blow." Thrax said with a laugh, "Be very proud of him"
"You're starting to look old big brother." Rikku said, walking up with a smirk and hugging her older brother, "I'll have to start calling you geezer"
"And I can still call you brat." Vegeta said, looking over at Max and Kalla, "Who are they"
"Vegeta, meet Kalla and Max, your new sister and brother." the Queen said with a warm smile, "Both born in here. Today is actually Kalla's eighteenth birthday."
Before Vegeta could say anything a lower ranking guard ran in and up to Matt. The guard whispered something to Matt then backed off.
"Great." Matt said, "Glacius is causing problems again"
"Go ahead." The King said, waving Matt and Thrax off, "Put him in his place"
"Let's go bro." Matt said as he and Thrax ran out and flew out the window again, "When was the last time we actually used a door"
"I didn't keep track." Thrax said.
"How do you think he'll react when Rikku tells him who she mated with?" Matt chuckled.
"Hey! Wait up!" Radditz exclaimed, catching up to Matt and Thrax, "I'm going with you two, I want to be as far away from Vegeta as possible when he hears he's related to me"
"Think there will still be a roof over the throne room?" Thrax laughed.
Later in the evening the palace still had a roof on it. It was reported that Vegeta took out his frustrations on Nappa. It was time to begin the celebration and all throughout the Saiya jin city fireworks were set off. The select warriors who were invited to the party were allowed in the palace and the guard was doubled to prevent intruders.
"Have I ever said how much I hate this dress armor?" Matt groaned, adujusting the gold chestplate.
"Let me count, every year on the Kings birthday, on the Queens birthday, all other formal celebrations." Thrax said with a laugh, "Need I go on"
"Shut up." Matt said, "I just hope the King doesn't make a fool of himself again."
"You taught him disco." Thrax said, "Well, party time."
All the invited warriors were gathered in the main hall. Most were standing around enjoying the food and drink. Radditz spent most of the evening with avoiding Vegeta. Matt, Thrax and Max were sitting at the Kings table at the front of the room having an impromptu eating competition.Vegeta was spending the evening with his father becoming aquainted with other high ranking Saiya jins and nobles.
"Ah my little sister, now the most desired female in Hell." Rikku said, looking in on her sister who was sitting on the bed in her dress armor, "I remember when you were seven and all you wanted to do was try to beat Scorpax up"
"Hmm." Kalla said, staring off into space.
"Something on your mind?" Rikku asked, sitting down next to her. A smile came across her face as something came into mind, "You like someone, who is it"
"None of your business!" Kalla exclaimed, a blush on her face.
"Come on, I won't tell anyone." Rikku prodded, "Who is it"
"I'm not telling until I find out if he likes me back." Kalla said.
"You really think he'll say no to the princess?" Rikku laughed, "I'll see you down in the banquet hall later"
"There's a good chance." Kalla said quietly as Rikku left.
"Radditz, what are you doing?" Bardock, a high ranking commander in the army and chief of the occupation force in the Ice jin city, asked his son who was peeking out from behind a pillar.
"I'm trying to avoid Prince Vegeta." Radditz replied, "I have a feeling he is going to hurt me really badly if he sees me"
"I thought all Saiya jins were brave." A female voice said, "I guess there is one in every family eh Bardock"
"I don't blame him." Bardock chuckled, "I wouldn't want to get on Prince Vegetas bad side either Krystal."
Krystal was an Ice jin and the sister of Frieza and Cooler. Unlike her brother she didn't have any desire to conquer and kill like the rest of her family. However, since her father forced her to kill she was still sent to Hell when she was killed. How she was killed she never revealed. Also unlike the male side of her family, Krystal had translucent blue hair that went down to her waist and was kept in a neat braid. The faces of the female Ice jins were also more human like compared to the rounder faces of the males. After the war between the Saiya jins and the Ice jins in Hell she was selected by King Vegeta to act as a representative for her people to him. In the years since then she became a very close friend and confidante to Kalla.
"Tell me Radditz, what could he do to you?" Krystal asked with a laugh, "You're already dead!"
"Just leave me alone." Radditz snapped.
A few minutes later one of the royal guards called for everyones attention. The royal band began playing the anthem of planet Vegeta and all attention focused on the doorway where Kalla was standing. Many of the guests in attendance bowed their heads as she walked along the floor to where her family stood waiting for her. She had somewhat of a nervous smile on her face, normally there wasn't this much attention on her and she wasn't used to it.
"Kalla, it's one of the biggest days of you life." King Vegeta said, "On this day you turn eighteen. In the eyes of our people you are now an adult"
King Vegeta motioned to Max, who brought over a pillow with a golden, diamond encrusted tiara.
"As of today you are old enough to take over as ruler of our glorious race and I can't say I could have asked for a better heir. You are intelligent as you are strong thanks greatly to your trainers." King Vegeta said, placing the tiara on his daughters head, "Happy birthday Princess Kalla."
The crowd cheered and several of the guards around the room fired bursts of confetti into the air. Outside fireworks shot off all around the palace as the celebrations really began to kick off.
Over the next hour King Vegeta took Kalla around introducing her to everyone in attendance, most of which were good potential mates for her. Matt, Thrax and Vegeta were all sitting at the Kings table talking.
"Trunks?" Matt laughed, "What happened to the age old tradition of naming the first male son Vegeta"
"Have you ever been hit by a frying pan?" Vegeta asked and Matt shook his head no, "Well it hurts even for a Saiya jin, I decided it was better to break tradition than suffer brain damage"
"I wonder how he and Luna would get along if they ever met." Matt chuckled, "I may have to introduce them next time I go back"
"If there is a next time." Vegeta said to himself then turning to Thrax, "What's your excuse? You're mateless still"
"When you're dead and have all eternity, you have time to shop around a bit." Thrax said with a smirk.
"Like the time you hit on Zarbon?" Matt said, bursting into laughter at the memory.
"You hit on Zarbon!" Vegeta exclaimed, also breaking into a fit of laughter.
"I was drunk and he looks a lot like a woman!" Thrax exclaimed, "And you promised never to mention that again"
"The one thing I missed while alive was the conversations with other Saiya jins." Vegeta laughed as the music started to slow down. A swarm of young male Saiya jins swarmed Kalla trying to get her to dance with them.
"I'm going to save your sister if that's alright with you." Matt said, looking at Vegeta.
"Go ahead, all those males are too weak to even be considered as mates for her." Vegeta said as Rikku appeared and grabbed his hand, "What are you doing"
"Since you've got my husband to afraid to come out of hiding I'm going to force you to dance with me dear brother." Rikku said, "and you know I won't acccept no as an answer"
"Fine." Vegeta said, leaving Thrax alone at the table.
"And they ask why I haven't chosen a mate yet." Thrax laughed as Krystal tried to sneak up on him, "Because to capture the heart of a beautiful Ice jin princess one must do everything in his power to woo her first, am I right"
"And you're well on your way." Krystal laughed as Thrax took her hand and lead her to the dance floor, "Why I like you so much I don't know."
"Come princess, please join me for this dance." One of the young eligable males said, pushing in front of the rest of the crowd.
"Do not listen to that weakling, dance with me princess." Another young male said.
"Clear out, I am the princesses escort for the evening!" Matt snapped, his hair flickering gold, "Unless one of you wants to challenge me"
The other males, knowing how strong Matt was, backed off fast, knowing none could hope to challenge his power.
"Thank you so much." Kalla said with a smile.
"Well, shall we dance?" Matt asked, offering his hand.
"I would love to." Kalla said, letting Matt lead her out to the dance floor where all the other couples were dancing. Partway through the dance Kalla cuddled nice and close to Matt in a way that was more than just friends.
"Bardock and I are going to escort Krystal back to the Ice jin city." Thrax said, "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Good night." Matt said, as the trio left the palace. Matt, being the last person in the hall, decided to retire for the night.
After he went to his room and changed out of the formal armor in a more comfortable pair of loose fitting pants. He shut off the lights and laid down in his bed. Moments later there was a knock at his door.
"Who is it?" Matt asked, rather tired sounding.
"Kalla, can I come in?" Kalla asked.
"I guess, I thought you went to sleep hours ago." Matt said as Kalla entered in her sleeping attire.
"I couldn't sleep, there's just something nagging at my mind." Kalla said, sitting on Matt's bed.
"Does it have anything to do with the pressure to choose a mate?" Matt asked.
"Yes." Kalla said quietly.
"You'll find someone." Matt chuckled, "Or you'll get used to the pressure, Rikku did for a long enough time to make my life Hell"
"The problem is I have someone I want to mate with but I don't think he'd accept me as a mate." Kalla said.
"I can almost guarantee you the person you have feelings for won't reject you." Matt said with a smile.
"Then prove it." Kalla said.
"Huh?" Matt said as he suddenly felt the girl almost jump on top of him. Kalla pressed her lips to his before he could say anything and pinned his arms with her own. Matt was stunned, he had watched Kalla grow up and was easily considered like a brother to her and now here she was forcing herself onto him, knowing full well that he had a mate whom he cared deeply for and wound never willingly leave for another. Kalla broke the kiss and looked down into Matt's eyes with a smile, only to be shocked to see a look of anger on his face.
"Get off." Matt snapped, flaring his ki and somewhat throwing her off to the side.
"You guaranteed the man I wanted would accept me!" Kalla exclaimed, "You lied to me"
"I didn't know you were talking about me!" Matt exclaimed, standing up.
"Why won't you accept me!" Kalle screamed.
"Because I already have a mate, I have a child, I would never abandon them!" Matt snapped back, "You knew that and you should know that I never would"
"In that case I challenge you!" Kalla said, reffering to an age old custom where if a male rejects a female the female can challenge the male to a fight and should she win she gains the right to become the males mate, even if the male already has a mate, "You will become my mate"
"Can't you even hear yourself! You don't have a chance of beating me in a fight!" Matt exclaimed.
"I know your every move, your every strength and weakness! I have been preparing for this moment since I was ten!" Kalla said, "I will defeat you and claim you as my own"
"What's going on!" Vegeta roared, bursting into Matt's room.
"You will be the witness." Kalla said to Vegeta, "You will watch me beat him in a fight then claim him!"
"I'm not going to fight you Kalla." Matt said, sounding calmer.
"You have to." Vegeta said, "It is the law, you must answer the challenge"
"You have five minutes to get dressed." Kalla said, storming out, "Pity be to the master whose student fails to surpass him."
"Why does this always happen to me." Matt asked himself.
A few minutes later Matt emerged into the courtyard dressed in his combat gear. Kalla had changed into her combat gear and was waiting for him with Vegeta.
"Let's just get this over with so we can get on with our lives." Matt said, transforming to Super Saiya jin to end the battle quickly. Kalla charged Matt and aimed a punch for his head. Matt moved with lightning speed to avoid it with ease and retaliated with a punch to the gut, making Kalla drop to the ground.
"It's over." Matt said, turning to walk away.
"No it's not." Kalla said, suddenly screaming and powering up. In a flash of light she was engulfed in a golden aura. Her long shoulder length hair stood up and was golden. She was a Super Saiya jin.
"Impossible!" Matt and Vegeta said at the same time. Kalla smirked and in an instant she nailed Matt in the gut then hit him in the face with a round house kick. Matt skidded across the ground and smashed into a pillar.
"Give up, you can't beat me." Kalla said as Matt stood up almost completely unscathed, "Or I can beat on you until you submit"
"You assume too much." Matt said dropping into a defensive stance. Kalla charged and attempted to punch Matt in the face again, only to have him catch her fist. She tried to punch him with her other hand but Matt caught that fist as well.
"If you can prove you're stronger than me by moving me and inch backwards then I will submit." Matt said.
"Fine!" Kalla snapped, pushing with all her strength against Matt, who pushed back. Both seemed to be equal but it soon became clear that Kalla was pushing everything she had into her attempt while Matt didn't seem phased.
"I have been training a lot harder and longer than you." Matt said,suddenly pushing back hard and making Kalla slide backwards "While you are very strong you are still no match for me."
"No!" Kalla said, breaking the hold and jumping back, "I won't lose"
"What now." Matt said, jumping back as Kalla flared her aura. She held her hands out and formed two balls of white energy.
"I taught her too well, from now own I don't train girls anymore." Matt said, forming his two blood red balls of energy.
"Diamond Laser!" Kalla screamed, firing off her version of Matt's attack.
"Vengenful Strike!" Matt said, firing his blood red beam. The two beams met and fought for dominance. Both were almost of equal power.
"What's going on here!" King Vegeta demanded, storming into the courtyard followed by Rikku and Max.
"Kalla challenged Matt." Vegeta replied calmly.
"What!" King Vegeta exclaimed.
"I'm ending this now!" Matt exclaimed, sending a huge pulse down his beam.
"No!" Kalla screamed as her beam suddenly exploded and sent her flying back. She dropped out of Super Saiya jin as she skidded to a stop, laying flat on the ground.
"I'm going back to bed." Matt said, turning to walk away, "In the morning I want no mention of what happened tonight. I am going to forget it happened"
"I won't give up." Kalla said, stumbling to her feet with some blood dripping from her mouth.
"You've lost, the challenge is over, now go get cleaned up." Vegeta said, walking back into the palace followed by the rest of the Royal family except Rikku, who went over to help her sister.
"I can't believe he was the one you liked." Rikku said, pulling Kalla to her feet, "You went farther than I ever did"
"Time for plan B." Kalla said, shoving Rikku away and powering up again, "He won't leave her, I'll force her to leave him."
"Where are you going!" Rikku yelled as Kalla blasted away into the sky.
"Kalla's run off!" Rikku exclaimed, running up the the group of Saiya jins that had left moments earlier.
"She's just blowing off some steam." King Vegeta said, "She'll come back"
"I just want to go to sleep." Matt repeated.
"You should go after her, you're the cause of this." Rikku said,"She's going after your blasted mate"
"What can she do, she can't get to Earth." Matt said.
"There is a way." Vegeta said, "A secret passage that leads to King Yemmas palace, if she gets there then she can go anywhere in the galaxy. Kakkarot told me about the passage way"
"What!" Matt exclaimed, grabbing a communicator from a nearby guard, "Thrax come in, it's an emergency"
"What's going on? I just got to the Ice jin palace." Thrax replied.
"Kalla is pissed and is headed for Earth, we have to catch her." Matt said.
"What happened now?" Thrax asked.
"I'll explain later, right now Raven and Luna's lives are at risk!" Matt snapped, dashing out of the palace and taking to the air.
"Heaven..Hell..Hell.." King Yemma said, stamping the files that he was going through, "Heaven"
His routine was broken when the drawer of his desk suddenly exploded and Kalla flew out, having found out about the secret exit.
"What the!" King Yemma exclaimed as Kalla flew out of the check in station, "Stop her"
Kalla flew past anyone who tried to stop her and towards the portal that allowed entrance to the checkin station. If she went through the portal it would take her anywhere in the galaxy she desired, something few people in the afterlife knew of, most thought it was one way.
"Contact the Saiya jins I want an explanation now!" King Yemma roared.
"It is really nice of you to come and visit Raven, we have missed you so." Starfire said, carrying a platter of sandwiches up to the roof where Raven Luna and Robin were waiting, "It is so quiet around here"
"Then why not have a child of your own, that would liven things up." Raven said, "Or is Robin having problems"
"Are you out to get me or something?" Robin asked, "We've been trying but since we are different species it is hard And don't bring up the fact that Matt is a Saiya jin, this is different."
"Gang way!" Luna exclaimed, tearing into the platter of sandwiches right after the other three had grabbed one.
"She certainly has her father's appetite." Robin chuckled, "Have you heard about what is happening in Asia"
"I've heard rumors that something or someone is causing a lot of havoc." Raven said, "Beastboy and Blackfire went to investigate but I haven't heard back from them yet."
"What's he doing here!" Matt snapped as he noticed Glacius in the group with Thrax, Krystal and Bardock.
"He insisted, I didn't feel like arguing." Thrax said as the group flew toward the secret exit.
"If you don't attack me I will behave, I just want to help out." Glacius said.
"At least it isn't Frieza." Vegeta said as the group emerged from the drawer in Yemma's desk.
"Matt, Thrax! Get that girl back here!" King Yemma roared, "If you don't then you will suffer gravely"
"Yeah yeah." Matt said, blasting towards the portal.
"Vegeta!" King Yemma said, grabbing the attention of the Saiya jin prince, "I have a mission for you, go with Baba"
"Why?" Vegeta asked in his arrogant tone.
"Do you want another crack at Majin Buu or not?" Baba asked.
"Lead the way." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"Luna, what's wrong?" Raven asked, noticing her daughter stop eating and stare at the sky.
"Someone is coming..." Luna said, "Someone very angry"
"What is she talking about?" Robin asked, "I can't see anyone"
"Kalla is coming..." Luna said.
"What?" Raven asked as suddenly she was struck hard and sent flying by a yellow blur.
"Raven!" Starfire exclaimed as Kalla floated there and laughed sadistically.
"What's going on!" Robin exclaimed, "What are you attacking Raven"
Kalla flared her aura and sent the two titans flying. A number of large rocks flew at Kalla and she skillfully dodged them and charged Raven. Raven launched into a fury of kicks and punches but none hit their mark. Kalla kicked Raven hard in the gut and sent her flying again. She charged up a ki blast that could easily vaporize Raven but she was struck in the back by another blast before she could fire it off.
"You little runt..." Kalla growled, turning to Luna.
"Don't ever touch my Mommy again!" Luna screamed.
"Quiet brat!" Kalla screamed, firing a massive blast at the little saiya jin. Luna froze in fear as the blast approached and suddenly Raven bolted in front of her child to try and block the blast. There was a huge explosion as the ki blast impacted. Raven and Luna stood there completely unphased by the blast. They stared into the dust and suddenly a yellow light flared into view.
"You've taken it way to far Kalla." Matt said, "You challenged me and lost, now you've attacked my family. You will regret this"
"What are you going to do? Kill me!" Kalla snapped.
"No, I'm going to drag you kicking and screaming back to hell and lock you in the dungeon for a few years." Matt said.
"Wait!" Glacius exclaimed, landing between the two, "Kalla, I challenge you for the right to become your mate"
"What!" Thrax, Matt and Kalla all exclaimed.
"He can't do that, he isn't a Saiya jin!" Thrax exclaimed.
"Yes he can." Krystal said, "When the Icejins lost the war the Saiya jins occupied the Ice jin territory and we have been living under Saiya jin rule and law ever since. If he wants to challenge under a Saiya jin law then he can."
"Damn" Kalla uttered under her breath,"I accept, once I'm finished with you I'll finish my business with them"
"Don't be so cocky." Glacius said, powering up.
"Get ready to die again!" Kalla screamed as the two fighters charged each other.
"What!" Matt exclaimed, suddenly waking up from his nap. He looked around and saw the still ten year old Kalla sleeping soundly using his stomach as a pillow. They had been training and took a break to get some sleep.
"Good, it wasn't real." Matt said to himself. He laid there thinking for a few seconds then sat up, waking Kalla up.
"What's going on?" Kalla asked, rubbing her eyes and watching Matt stand up, "Where are you going"
"To hurt Glacius." Matt said, flying off.
