AS22: okay, look peeps. I'm really disappointed in you guys. So far I only have a small amount of reviews. I decided to post the rest of this one, but if you don't review I may just stop writing. There is only one more New Destiny story after this. If you want to read it, you better not just review for this story, but for my next one as well. Reviews keep me going. So please, R&R.

Chapter 9: Those Last Days…

2 years later

Prince Vegeta- 8 years old

Katrin- (-3, -5) years old (Time continuum mix up, remember?)

Raditz- 5 years old

Kakorot- 1 year old

Bardock ran as fast as he could down the halls. He had lost his sister and her mate, his niece, mate, and best friend, and Frieza was soon to destroy the planet. He had seen it.

He stopped dead in his tracks as pain raced through his head.

Katrin and Kakorot were fighting Frieza on Namek, the sky was black and the water was choppy.

It was another vision. He thought he was going crazy, Katrin was dead. Kakorot was far away now, but his little niece was dead.

The story was given that her ship had technical difficulties and it crashed on a planet with a dying sun. Frieza and Kooler also believed this to be true. What Bardock didn't believe was that his sister and Kanji had met a similar fate. Dodoria practically told him that someone killed them. That someone, Bardock had seen, was Kooler.

Bardock gasped as he started moving again. No one wanted to believe his story, so he would have to go on his own, no one, not even Bardock really, wanted to believe Frieza was that powerful.

Another vision hit Bardock full force.

Katrin was running in a large field, being chased by a wolf. The wolf tackled her and began to lick her up and down. She squealed.

"Okay Smokey! Get off me! I'm it!" she got up and this time she chased the wolf, who barked with joy as he stayed just out of her range.

His niece was alive and happy somewhere or some-when. She appeared to be about 6-7 years old. He recognized her immediately.

Bardock shook off the vision as he took outside and to the air. Frieza was in orbit and men were trying to stop him.

Bardock fought through the men and made it to the outermost atmosphere. He had to work hard to breathe, but he could see Frieza's ship. And there was the tyrant, just sitting there so smug.

"You bastard! You killed them! You killed them all!" Bardock gathered all his energy and all his emotion into one attack. Frieza put up a single little dot of a Ki attack as Bardock threw his energy. Then Frieza began to laugh as his attack grew.

No… no, not this! The vision! It was true!

Bardock screamed in anger as Frieza's attack swallowed his own. Frieza threw the attack, and Bardock screamed in pain as he felt each cell burn away.

"Kakorot! Katrin! Raditz!" he screamed the names of the children, the hope of the future was within them.

"Prince Vegeta?"

Vegeta sat in the dark cell aboard one of Frieza's ships. He was scared, but he couldn't let anyone know. Nappa was there with him.

"What is it?" Vegeta pressed the button on his Scouter to listen.

"Vegeta, we just got word of some terrible news. It seems Planet Vegeta was just destroyed by a large asteroid. There are only two known Saiyans left besides yourself and General Nappa. I'm… I'm sorry for your loss."

The communication was cut. Vegeta was in shock, and a single tear slipped past his defenses. Nappa couldn't see it, and for that the little prince was thankful.

"Vegeta?"

"The others must be the two spawn of Bardock. Raditz will be coming to join us soon, right Nappa?" Vegeta meant for it to sound factual, but it didn't. It sounded more hopeful, that at least maybe he wouldn't be all alone when Nappa died. No Sayjin ever lived past 30 besides the royalty.

"Yes, I think so. But the other?" Nappa seemed to ask himself.

"We will find him one day."

Vegeta took a bite of the stale bread he had packed with him. He had to eat to keep up his strength, for even this young he knew living with Frieza would be very difficult.

Prince Vegeta- 26

Katrin- 15 years old

Raditz- 24

Goku- 20

1st P.O.V.

I was outside, on a nice summer day, playing with Marina and Smokey, the neighbor's wolf-dogs. My glasses kept slipping off my nose from sweat, and the dogs were panting furiously.

My watch started to beep, and when I looked down I saw why. I had only ten minutes to run home to watch Dragonball Z.

"Sorry wolfies, I gotta go!" I called, running back toward home. They ran with me, through the field and around the pond.

Why am I so obsessed with this show anyway? I remember… I knew its name long before I ever watched it… oh well, probably just heard its name at school or something.

If I was a Saiyan like Goku or Vegeta I'd be home already… teleporting or flying… but… I'm scared of heights anyway…

I ran in and panted for a second while I caught my breath.

"Katie, you're just in time! I heard the music just start up!" my mom, Joann, called.

"Thanks mom!" I called as I ran down the short hall.

Sometimes I think I could rival Bulma, for my age anyway. I figured out a way to redirect the VCR timer to the TV, so when DBZ comes on the TV switches on automatically to the channel.

I practically leapt onto my bed and lay there affixed to my TV. Pat, my half-brother, walked by and saw me, then shook his head with a laugh. I ignored him; Majin Buu had just found a puppy.

Pat is my dad's son, but not my mom's. Both of my parents had married once before they met each other, and Pat was only a kid then.

When the show was done I was worried, but it was weird, why would I always worry like this? It was like it was real, but no, it couldn't be.

I hope Buu burns in HFIL for killing Vegeta… I don't care how good or bad he is or becomes…

Yeah, I was still upset over that. Vegeta died in vain, and now Buu was even stronger.

I stood up and stretched as I walked to the kitchen. I was thirsty from all that running, and when DBZ came on I didn't move.

"Katie, is your show over?" my mom asked. I poured my tea and sat in the dining room for a moment as I watched the sun set. Dad was reading the paper in his chair and Pat was looking at a car magazine.

"Yeah… pretty good one, too." I said. All eyes seemed to turn to me, "What?"

"Well Katie… come over here." Dad said, putting the paper down. Pat turned the page one more time before he followed dad's example.

"What is it?" I was scared now. I put my drink down and walked over to the couch slowly. My mom magically appeared with a shoe box and she handed it to me.

"Look through it, honey." Mom said, encouraging me.

I was really scared now as I opened the bow. It was full of paper clippings and reports. I looked though each one.

Baby girl found in ally… Mysterious man finds child… The girl is about 2-3 years old, brown hair and eyes… The child's parents haven't been found… Back-alley baby adopted by farming family…

"What's this have to do with me?" I asked.

"Honey… I was never able to have children." My mom said, "Remember when I told you I had cervical cancer?"

"What… does this mean… I'm the back-alley baby?" I asked.

"Yes. We adopted you." Dad said.

"Pat… did you know?" I asked him.

"Yeah… I did." He said, "I was still a kid, though. I really didn't understand it."

"We wanted to wait." My mom said.

"Why now?" I asked.

"You're in high school, and that means one day you'll graduate and go to college and get a nice job. We want you to know where you came from before you knew where you were going." Dad said.

"So… did they ever find my biological parents?" I asked.

"No… and that's a shame, because you're such a great kid…" my mom left the room in tears. My eyes were blurred as well.

"Dad… what about this man that found me?"

"I met with him once, and I haven't been able to locate him since. He said he heard you crying in an alley, and you were all alone except for your baby blanket with you name on it."

"What was his name? Who is he?"

"He wouldn't tell me that, only that he wasn't your family. We even ran a DNA test to be sure." Dad said.

"I will know my family one day… but you guys are great… as far as I'm concerned, you are my real family." I said. I got up and went outside, then did my best to climb the big oak tree outside. I looked up to the stars as I thought it all out.

It was a few months later and I went to bed as always. DBZ was over, and I mean the series. I was disappointed as I went to sleep.

3rd P.O.V.

"Wake up, child." Lime called to the girl he had saved those years ago. She stirred and woke up in the lair of the Council, a tomb like chamber. She seemed calmed as she called out.

"Who's there?" her voice echoed for a long time, and then Azure spoke up to her.

"Someone who wants to help you."

"How can you help me?" Katrin called back, looking for the voices.

"I know what you want, and I can give it to you." Burgundy replied.

"What? What do you mean, 'what I want'?"

Katrin had an idea, she wanted to be Saiyan, to know her real family.

"You know what you want, and I could give it to you." Lime replied.

"Why would you do that?" she asked. Lime turned to Azure, speaking only to her.

"She is smart, didn't I tell you? She is the one."

"I call it as I see it, and I see a kid with no idea what's going on." Azure whispered back. Lime called out to Katrin again.

"I have my reasons. Do you want it?"

"Yes." Her voice seemed far away, like she was still thinking on it.

"Then it shall be done." Burgundy called.

Katrin screamed as the darkness came at her, but even this had a purpose. Roxx controlled Darkness, and she needed to know to fear it.

Lime sighed in hopelessness as she was swallowed. He liked her, favored her, but saw that the others would make things difficult. They would try to kill her for her power, but he couldn't show her his favoritism.

Goku had been playing with Gohan when Gohan ran to a tree. He called to his daddy, sounding confused.

"What is it, Gohan?" Goku called as he started over.

"It's a girl! And she has a tail like me!" Gohan said, pointing.

"What? A tail?" Goku looked under the tree to the girl.

She was fairly tall for her age, which seemed to be at 15. Her hair was long and a mess, and she seemed to be in silky pajamas. She rolled over, like she was merely asleep, but when Goku knelt down and touched her she felt cold and didn't stir. Then he saw the tail, long and brown.

"Who is she daddy?" Gohan asked.

"I dunno, but we should take her home. I think she's sick."

She might be family… we both have tails, and that can't be a coincidence.

Goku picked up the young girl and carried her on the Nimbus as he went home. Gohan seemed to be fascinated by the girl and wouldn't stop talking about her. Neither would Chi-chi.

"Do you think she might be… like your sister or something?" she asked Goku. He shrugged.

"She could be. Grandpa Gohan raised me, but he told me when I was a little older that I wasn't really his grandson. I didn't care though, he was still my grandfather to me." Goku replied.

"Well, I just hope her appetite isn't as big as yours. Otherwise I'll have much more cooking to do."

"That's the cousin… where are the others?" Azure asked Lime. He waved his hand and four images covered the screen.

"This one… Piccolo. He is training. He will train her soon so her powers can be realized." Lime explained.

"And the Prince?" Burgundy pointed out Vegeta, covered in blood and laughing as he fought on an alien world.

"They'll meet in one year. Don't worry about him, he will calm down after a while. In fact, this one-" Lime showed the purple-haired boy with a sword, many years from now, fighting alongside an alternate Katrin, "Is his son from a parallel timeline. He will come and Bond with Katrin when he does." Lime said.

"So all that is left is this creature." Azure pointed out a tiny speck in a large incubator. A man with white hair was staring at it as it twitched.

"It will be Cell, and it will become a friend of hers. It is as I saw it when she was a baby." Lime said.

"And these mortals will protector her and make her strong? Make her the Angel of Legend?" Azure asked, doubtful.

"Yes, they will. Just be patient and watch."

"Roxx will arrive there in a matter of years." Burgundy said.

"Years to mortals are like eons to us. They progress faster than we do."

"You do realize we were very close to losing her?" Azure asked.

"Yes."

Only hours after Lime, Azure, and Burgundy had retrieved the destined Angel, Roxx arrived and destroyed the dimension. The potential Angel of that universe had no idea what to do. He had no legend to go by, no special power, nothing to help. Roxx killed him easily.

Epilogue:

And that's how it was. It was all planned out, but really, it wasn't either. Lime was the one who did all the work, and I really can't be mad at him. He was only doing what was best for me and the universe. And looking back, and now as I watch Kale, I see it had to be, and I really couldn't have wanted anything better.

AS22: So, who's Kale? Well, review if you want to know. If everything works out, look for The Next Destiny…
