THE NEW EMPIRE CH 1: Cope
It had been three days since Goten, Gohan, and Vegeta had entered the time and place where saiyans were born and lived as a civilization. Still, the had dared not to enter society. Too many questions would be asked of their parents and why someone looked just like the young prince. They had planned to enter soon, but they had to adapt to their surroundings first.
Vegeta was easy to adapt, having lived here as a child, but Goten and Gohan had to spend many days and nights observing. They also got lessons of saiyan culture from Vegeta during the free time.
Vegeta had his opinion out in the open. He believed that they should go strait to the palace and take control of the planet that rightfully belonged to him. He had been persuaded different. How could Prince Vegeta ask for the throne when his younger version was in the palace as well. They would never be believed. Their story never given a chance to be heard before being laughed at completely.
However, on this third day, they would become a part of the saiyan planet, whether they liked it or not……

I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Regeneration Tank Chamber

Bardock exited the regeneration tank, instantly being asked questions by the saiyan medics, Planthor and Melakka.
"Where's Torah?" Bardock asked, not answering their questions.
Melakka hissed, "He's about to leave for the new purging mission."
Using his unknowing new senses, he felt a stab, "Call up to the loading dock. I don't want any more departures from my teammates."
Planthor looked at him confused, but obeyed the order as commanded. He reached for the intercom and pressed the button,
"Med bay to loading dock, cancel all take-offs scheduled by the Blood Pack. Repeat, Team Blood Pack are ordered to stay."
"Order clear. Out."
Bardock smiled, having that feeling fade away. However, as soon as that feeling subsided, he felt another twinge of worry hit him. This feeling was way worse than the other, and with his new "gift", his mind caught images of a small desolate patch of land that he himself knew the directions to. Without a word to the medics, he turned and left with new clothes on.

Gohan, Goten, and Vegeta's Campsite
Nighttime
Gggg
The fire cackled as the three saiyans sat around it in a daze. Goten was using small knives of his own ki to cut a spear out of a large branch that he found while exploring. He was pretty much giving Vegeta and Gohan their space, since they were both working out major issues that they each had.
Vegeta had a crazed look on his face that he hadn't had for ten years. Since the time that Bulma had not been more than just a name to him.
The good thing was, his proudest part of him was returning, his saiyan side. His prideful ego. The bad part was, his soul was cracked and very fragile. He was just ready to snap. He would constantly try to start a fight with Goten and Gohan so he could let out the miserable frustration that his mind was burdened with.
Gohan, on the other hand, was a complete wreck, Unless there was an order to be made, he stayed completely to himself. He felt as though if he were to talk to Vegeta or his little brother, then it would bring up memories that he had when the whole group was together.
His mind was a complete mess, but was getting a whole lot better, since he had been meditating for the last day.

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Bardock walked out into the open campsite, which stirred Goten, Gohan, and Vegeta. They watched him carefully, only Gohan ready for the kill due to the likeliness Bardock had to his father. Gohan, during these last few hours, had begun to feel muck like himself before Videl. That wasn't necessarily a good thing, since Gohan had been Shadow, the dark destroyer at that time.
Bardock lifted an eyebrow, "Who are you guys? You can't be saiyans. My scouter can barely pick your power levels up from the animal life around here."
Goten smirked, "You'd be surprised."
After saying that, Goten proceeded to lift his hand up, then snapped his fingers. In an instant, Bardock flinched lightly as his scouter exploded from a power overload.
Bardock rubbed his right ear, "Wow! Ok, saiyans, check. Now would be the time to answer who you all are."
Gohan, knowing that this was not Goku, but possibly a relative of his, smirked, "You wouldn't believe us."
"Try me."
Gohan laughed, still sitting down, disappeared and reappeared in front of Bardock. The fast movement freaked Bardock out, but other than that, it didn't much faze him. Gohan looked Bardock up and down, "If I was to tell you the truth, what would be your intentions after that? Are you the kind of saiyan that would try to blast me away if I were weak?"
Vegeta answered for him, "No, that's Bardock. He's more honorable than that. Do what you're going to do. I know what it is, and the med bay has the means to get you healthy again. It's about time we enter anyway."
Gohan nodded, "Get ready to take us both in. We are both going to be highly drained by this. Bardock, put your arm on my shoulder."
Bardock hesitantly obeyed, and did so. Instantly, images of a different time flooded his mind. Bardock saw everything. Understood everything. Knew everything. Gohan. Leader. Aurora. Goku and Radditz. Vegeta. Gohan and Goku's private war. EVERYTHING. Then all faded into nothingness. Black out.

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Med Bay

Gohan awoke to the feeling of goo being all over him. The regeneration tank. He smirked, loving the refreshing feeling that they gave, unlike the bitterness that he got from senzu beans.
Gohan opened his eyes, and instantly held his hands up as a bright light entered his vision. Once used to the light, he lowered his hands and looked around. Goten and Vegeta were sitting lazily at a desk conversing with Bardock, who looked like he had just gotten out of a tank as well. The transfer must have worked. When the others noticed that Gohan had awoken, they had turned to him with a glint of mischief in their eyes.
"Hello, grandson," Bardock said.
"Hey, old man."
Vegeta decided to break up this little reunion, "I've been thinking. How about a new empire? One led by us. I have just been informed that my father has already been murdered by Frieza. The throne is empty, and I am Vegeta. It's my right until the Vegeta from this time comes of age and power. Nappa will have to go, of course. He was never really much of a trainer. I will train my chibi self. Teach him the ropes, and possibly get him to be a super saiyan long before I had to. Let's go. We have a planet to rule."
Gohan slapped his forehead, "How can you train yourself AND rule a planet at the same time?"
"I'm not," Vegeta said, "I will pick a temporary King for the time. Seeing as how you are the strongest and the wisest, far be it from me how, you are more than capable to handle a job such as this."
"Oh yeah? I wonder how the entire planet of saiyans will like it to have a new ruler that they don't even know. You don't even know if they will believe that you are the prince!"
Vegeta took off his shirt, and revealed a small tattoo on his left breast, "The seal of royalty. Every member has it, and inside the tattoo has an invisible scan of the royal house on it. Not able to duplicate. They will believe. Either that, or I will say that I'm my father. Just with a clean shave."
Once again, Gohan slapped his forehead, but only after putting his clothes back on, "Well, you have this planned through. Let's give it a shot. If that doesn't work, isn't there a law that says that if there is a person that is able to become a super saiyan, he will become king?"
Vegeta blinked, "Oh, yeah. Well, we can save a lot of time that way. You're the king, for now. But when the time is right, I will show my power as not only being the prince, but being a super saiyan as well. I would regain control the second I go gold."
"Seems fair. Let's go."
Bardock sighed, "Why do I feel a head ache coming on?"
Gggg
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me
Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

In the darkness, stood a figure never seen in this world before. Not a villain, not an ally. Just a "regular". He wore all black, his sword fastened to his side. An observer until needed. Now he watched Gohan.
"Good luck."
