The New Empire Ch 3: King Arthur's Idea
Gohan looked around his new chambers. The royal chambers. Fit for a king. However, he did not feel anything special about this place.
It had been about an hour since Gohan was announced King. He was now King Gohan. Weird. Even to him, it sounded out of place. He was a king. Already, new ideas for the planet had begun spinning through his head. That was good, since his first meeting was in about ten minutes. It wasn't that bad. The meeting consisted of the elites, and he got to make his first orders. Boy, were they in for a surprise!
Gggg
So wake up sleepy one...
It's time to save your world...
Steal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one, by one...
Will this earth be good to you
Keep you clean or stain through...
Gggg
Gohan was minutes away from his first meeting. He was ready, relaxed. Nothing could surprise him. He was totally in control of the situation, ready to make his ideas known. He even looked like a king.
Sitting at the head throne seat, he made his fashion known. He wore a spandex suit of black, with the royal armor over that. On the shoulder pads, fastened by two clips, was a cape of crimson. His hair still had the blue tips, but was already growing long once again, washing away Videl's haircut. Now the only thing that remained of his former mate was the memories that were held inside of his head. Videl was only memories…
Zasha sat at his side, being the princess. She wore the exact same as Gohan, but she had gold earrings to go with it. Her face was emotionless, except for when she looked at Gohan. When she did, a blush came to her face, due to the thoughts about the last night. She could still feel the softness of his tail around her. Even the thoughts of it made her feel safe. Gohan….
Goten was enjoying his time being out of the limelight. He wore nothing special, just the gi that he had worn during the war. He felt better in it. Even the blood stained onto it made him feel as if he were stronger. His mind could only wonder how many of the saiyans that were here right now had added to the stains on his clothes. Still, he refused to change until there was another gi made that looked exactly like it. His hair was different. During the last night, he had a servant cut his hair. No longer did he look like Goku. He looked like himself now. All the hair was short, put into spikes. The only long hair that he had now were two long and thin bangs that trailed down his face. The ends were dyed lavender, in memory of his old friend, trunks. There were three piercing on his eyebrow that he had done himself. He looked….. Different.
Gggg
The meeting had just begun. The entire throne room had been filled with important saiyans. None were there to make their opinions, just to listen to Gohan's important words. That was definitely going to change. Right now.
Gohan arose, followed by every saiyan bowing to their lowest. Gohan smirked, knowing that they respected him, "Rise, fellow saiyans. I hold this traditional meeting for my first orders. First, however, I would like to introduce myself. I am Gohan, a saiyan from the future. I know that may seem difficult to believe, but I do, too. In my time, Planet Vegeta was destroyed. In fact, tomorrow would be the day that it was destroyed. That will change now, since the tyrant, Frieza, is now destroyed. However, also in my time there was much greater evil. His name was Leader, a saiyan that had just been banished from this planet. He came to my planet seeking a war. He got one. My team and I defeated them tremendously. All except for Leader. On my way to defeat this saiyan, I was caught in his trap. He sent me and my brother back in time, along with the grown version of Prince Vegeta. I will defeat him the next time I see him, for not only did he send me back in time, but he had broken the bond between me and my mate. That is unacceptable, and I will punish him with death."
Gohan stopped as he heard almost every saiyan yell offensively. They were not mad at him, but at Leader. An unwanted bond breakage was an outrage. A smirk came to his face when they all praised him.
He raised his hand, getting their attention, "Now that I have made my introduction to you all, I now make a proposal. I look around here and I see decay of a planet with the potential of being the best. I propose that we make this planet so strong that it would take the gods, themselves, to destroy. As you know, I am a super saiyan. I've heard the legend. A single saiyan every three thousand years is born a super saiyan. Bullshit! During my time, I had known personally of many super saiyans. I am a super saiyan. My father was a super saiyan. My brother, who sits next to me, is a super saiyan. The Vegeta who has come back in time with me, is a super saiyan. There are many. But only the most determined can become a super saiyan. It would take a lot of hard work to become a super saiyan. Who will try to become one, now that you have heard the truth?"
There was a collective yell from every saiyan, even Zasha yelled. Gohan clapped his hands together, "Good. That's good to hear. In the next few months, I will be using my new team of scientists to make new training equipment. I promise success, for I have used the same training methods.
"On another note, I know what we do. We take jobs as planet brokers. A gruesome job. I propose a new direction. How about building an empire bigger than any that has ever existed? We will still go to planets and purge them. It's all we know how to do. But here's the catch. Only planets that have evil races on it. Destroy the civilizations on it. We kill, we claim. We make the universe ours. Us being the only threat to anyone. The peaceful planets will be our allies, or they will be left alone. Who here agrees with the extreme empire that I have presented with you all?"
Yet again, there was a yell erupting from everyone in the room. The saiyan empire would expand.
Gohan quickly ended the meeting, leaving everyone to their celebration and their gossiping. Today had been a complete success.

So wake up sleepy one...
It's time to save your world...
You're where the wild things are...
Yeah, toy soldiers off to war...
Big eyes to open soon
Believing all under sun and moon
But does heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?
No, no tears
Gggg
Vegeta
Deep space
Gggg
Frieza was gone. No more. Vegeta felt great. A heavy burden had been lifted off his heart. He had just fulfilled a deep passion within his heart. Now he felt that he was finally free. It was time to move on.
Chibi Prince Vegeta was with him. The child understood as he listened to the story that his own life would have taken. Never once did he object, or even move. His entire life had been unraveled to him, and he listened to the proposal that Vegeta gave him. To become stronger than anyone. At once he agreed. In his mind, Nappa was a thing of the past. Vegeta was now his trainer.
Once the story had been put down, they had started their journey home. It was time to go back. They knew that their planet was already changing, and only the adult Vegeta knew that it was for the better, if not best, of all saiyans.

Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through...

Planet Vegeta
Gohan's Chambers
Gggg
Gohan was tired. But he could not sleep! Everything needed for sleep was present. His body was tired. His mind was tired. He wasn't looking forward to anything the next day. It was madness!
In his own mind, he knew what was wrong. He was lonely. There was nothing deeper than that. He wanted someone to hold. Anybody. As long as there was some connection. He was just so used to having Videl next to him. Nut now he knew that Videl didn't exist anymore. Videl was just a name for the next couple decades. Trouble was, he needed someone now. However, he would just have to make do with nothing.
That last thought was betrayed when the door slowly opened, revealing a silhouette of a young woman. Gohan strait to see who it was, but he could not. Nothing went through his mind as she slowly made her way to his bed. Only when she got into the bed did he recognize her. Zasha. A naked Zasha.
Gohan sat up, "What are you doing, Zasha?"
Zasha laid down, "I know why you're still up. You need the comfort of someone right now. Let me be that person, please!"
Gohan wanted to slap himself for ever considering it, "I can't. I don't trust myself."
"But I trust you. I won't do anything that you don't want, I promise. Just hold me like you did last night and I'll be satisfied. Give me the comfort that I can give you. All I want right now is someone to hold me, and to hold back in return. Is that so wrong?"
Gohan knew it was wrong, but he wanted the feeling so badly. He laid back down and Zasha snuggled up to him. Gohan had to admit. It was comforting. So comforting that he instantly felt sleep take over him.
Gggg
You swing your ?ass all down?
Call to arms the trumpets sound
Toy horses start the charge
Robots, chessmen standing guard
We Shall Never Surrender!
Hand puppets storm the base
Flags up now cannons rage
Hand puppets storm the base
Flags up now cannons rage
All clowns head for the rear
Slingshots fire to the air
All clowns head for the rear
Slingshots fire to the air
Slip into the edge of death
Crossfire to the marionettes
Slip into the edge of death
Crossfire to the marionettes
We Shall Never Surrender!

The next morning Gohan awoke to the same predicament that he had the last time he had woken up to. His tail this time had wrapped around the tail of Zasha. His arm had been swung over Zasha's stomach. At first, he thought about getting up and leaving quickly, but then he rethought that, due to how great he had felt. The last night he had slept great. Just like when he was sleeping with…
He couldn't bring himself up to think about her. It wasn't like he was betraying her, but it was more like he didn't want to bring her up while he was around Zasha. It just didn't feel right. Though, he didn't know why.
Gohan laid his head back down onto the pillow. It was so relaxing just to be lying there. More sleep wouldn't hurt much. In fact, he would welcome all the sleep he could get…
Gggg
When Gohan next awoke, he found Zasha looking at his face as she played with a bang of his hair. He looked at her for a minute before getting up and dressing without a second glance at Zasha until he was completely dressed.
Zasha smiled, "Is there any orders for today, sire?"
Gohan froze, "Yes, as a matter of fact. In the old day of the planet I was on, there was this king, Arthur. He was very smart. I want to do the same thing he did. On this planet, it's my job to make all the decisions for the kingdom, but I want to hear opinions. That is not allowed, so I'm making a new law. There will be thirty saiyans I want. One will be me. The other chosen will be you, my brother, Chibi Vegeta, Vegeta, Bardock, and Radditz. The rest will be yours to chose. Pick the best of each profession. I want the best medic. The best captain. The best scientist. The best of everything until we have thirty in total. Then, I want you to construct a round table with thirty chairs. They will be my advisors."
Zasha smiled again, "An excellent idea, sire. I will have the order carried out immediately. If you need me, just send word."
Gohan turned to her, "Thank you, Zasha. For everything."
Gggg
In the shadows of the throne room, sat the silent figure with his sword at his side. He would stay here for the day. Surly, there would be some interesting news during the day. He knew Gohan would mix things up. This day, he had decided that sometime in the future, he would confront Gohan and they would discuss many things.
What a discussion that will be.
