Dragon Ball Saiyan Redemption
Episode 5: The Redemption Of The Saiyan Race
"Did you really revive the entire Saiyan race Dad?" Gohan asked.
"No I didn't," Goku responded.
Goku's other son, Goten, then commented, "But you just said that you…"
"I said I revived a small percentage of the Saiyan race," Goku interrupted.
"I'm sort of afraid to ask this Goku but who did you wish back?" Krillin asked.
"I wished back my father, Vegeta's father, my father's crew, and my father's first son," Goku stated.
Suddenly, both Bulma and Gohan chimed in together, "You revived Raditz?"
"I hope you two would say that. I mentioned Raditz that way so I could see the looks on your faces. Your minds are still as sharp as daggers. That's awesome."
"You mean you revived the one who tried to kidnap me when I was four years old?"
"Yes Gohan. But there is something that you need to know. Raditz has realized that taking you was a horrible mistake. He has shown remorse for his actions and apologized for that. In fact, he was in Lighter Hell because of that."
"Lighter Hell?" Olibu chimed in.
"Yes. Apparently, there are two Hells. A light one and a dark one. The dark one is appropriately named Dark Hell. Dark Hell contains the villains that are not sorry for the crimes they have committed. Those villains include Cell, Frieza, the Evil Buus, General Rildo, Baby, the Shadow Dragons excluding Nouva," Goku explained as he pointed to Nouva Shenron.
"Goku, you did not need to point me out like that. It's kind of embarrassing to be put on the spot like that," Nouva Shenron said to Goku as Nouva's face blushed a little bit.
"Sorry Nouva. Dark Hell also contains the entire Red Ribbon Army. The lighter Hell, called Lighter Hell, also appropriately named, contains previous villains that have realized their mistakes, and tried to take their lives out of wishing to no longer living with themselves. They go there to utterly wipe their lives out. To the point of they no longer can be brought back to life. Cause both Vegeta and me know that if you 'die' when you are already dead, you ain't coming back. Anyway, the remorseful villains, instead of dying, actually saw the light. That was said a lot there. It's like they found a religion and became totally dedicated to it. The remorseful villains include almost all of the Saiyans, the aliens that tried to eat Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma, Babidi, and the Emperor Pilaf group. Pilaf is an interesting story. He may have realized the error of his ways, but he still hates my guts. I don't understand why though." Just then Goku realized something himself. "Hey, where's Chi Chi?"
King Kai then yelled out to Goku, "Goku! Watch out!"
"Why? This is the upper world. There is no danger here."
"Oh yeah? Well look out because when you mess with a mother and her offspring, it's worse than engaging a fight with Super Buu!" This was Chi Chi. Goku looked back and saw Chi Chi. She was surrounded by a red aura and in her hand was a frying pan.
"Chi Chi! Think about this. There is no reason to be mad."
"Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. You wished back the kidnapper of your own son. I don't think you have the judgment to determine whether he is good or not anymore. You are putting Earth in jeopardy and I for one am sick of it." Chi Chi suddenly swung her arm and hit Goku right in the face. This left a very red mark. But back in the background, an uproarious laugh from King Kai was heard.
"Oh Chi Chi. That was hilarious. That is even better than the lame joke your husband used. I'm glad I let you borrow that frying pan."
"You let Chi Chi have a frying pan in her possession?" Goku asked with surprise in his voice.
"Yes. When she arrived, I promised to let her train with me if she made me laugh. And now, 160 years and 160,000,000 hits in my face later, she is finally going to train with me."
"Wait, stop all this. Are you saying I have an uncle and he tried to kidnap my older brother?" Goten asked with puzzlement on his face.
"I never told you about that encounter? I swear I did. You mean to tell me that in the 345 years together, I never told you about your uncle?" Gohan asked.
"No. I just found out about this today!"
"Well, I am sorry about that. I'll tell you all about it," Gohan offered.
"I'll tell you how his personality changed as well," Goku offered as well as he and his sons walked away from the big crowd, and now he had an excuse to be away from his wife.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled out. "Before you go, I need to have a word with you."
"What do you want?"
"I need to thank you. You cared enough about me that you actually incorporated my feelings in with your plan. If I could, I would give you a slap on the back. But I have a reputation to uphold. I will just say this: You did good Kakarot. You did good."
"Hey, everyone! Vegeta just made a statement to me that is ten times more shocking than if someone said to me that evil no longer existed, and we all could return to our home planets for the rest of eternity!"
"Ooooo! Vegeta's shedding his tough guy image finally," Bulma said.
"All of the years with you are just getting to me. It's nothing like that. All that is happening is that you're unfortunately rubbing off on me. That is all," Vegeta yelled with rage, fury, anger, and a slight amount of embarrassment.
"Yeah right Daddy. Even I know that's not true," Bulla said.
"Just shut up all of you and just leave me alone," Vegeta yelled as he stormed off. Back on Earth, a different scene was developing.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Borgos asked.
"I propose we fend for ourselves. We're Saiyans. We can handle it," King Vegeta said.
"Look. Kakarot gave us a second chance. We should become the Saiyan race he wants us to be," Bardock said.
"I agree with you Father," agreed Raditz.
"I think we should get real jobs," Shugesh proposed.
"Yeah. That will show the change we underwent in Lighter Hell," Torah agreed.
"I totally agree with that. But Bardock," Fasha chimed in, "I'll handle your lifestyle or you'll forget to attend your job and get fired on the first day."
"Hey, now I'm not that forgetful am I?" Bardock asked.
"You forgot when your two sons were born. I think that symbolizes that you're pretty forgetful," Fasha said.
"Well I pretty much agree with Shugesh, Torah, and Fasha now that I see their point of view. We are no longer mercenaries of Frieza. We are now our own men and woman. We should change into the race that Goku wanted us to become after he wished us back to life. Let's do this. Let us redeem ourselves and the rest of the Saiyan race, so as to make this universe we live in, a better place," King Vegeta declared.
"If it is a good enough plan for the king, it must be damn well good enough for us," Shugesh agreed.
"Then it's settled. Let us start our new lives as the newly redeemed Saiyan race," Bardock declared with powerful emotion in his voice.
