The New Empire Ch 5: My world

It had been almost a week since the first meeting of the advisors. There had been three more meetings. Everything was going well. As far as the meetings were concerned.

Vegeta and Chibi Vegeta came to the meetings and left just as quickly. They never told anyone anything about where they were going or what they did, except that Vegeta kept on telling Gohan that they were close to a breakthrough.

Gohan figured that Vegeta could be trying to turn Chibi Vegeta into a super saiyan, but then again, he could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

As for Zasha, well, they were getting along more than the average friend, but they weren't involved in a deeper relationship. Every night, she would sneak into his room and crawl into be with him. And every time she did, he would open the covers and pull her closer to his body. Never did they go further than just laying in bed together nude, but Gohan had the feeling that she wanted more. His rational side was keeping him from that much.

Yes, things were going okay, and Gohan was pretty happy about that. There were troubles, yes, most of the time being a banishment of some criminal. Yes, he knew that he was feeding to Leader's growing army, but he could care less.

The motherfuckers got in my head
Trying to make me someone else instead

It's my world now

Mama, why's it rainin' in my room
Cheer up boy clouds will move on soon
Heavy fog got me lost inside
Gonna sit right back and enjoy this ride

Throne Room

Gggg

Gohan was lazily sitting in his chair. Being King sucked. Right now, he'd much rather be training to get stronger, but he had to get this planet into a somewhat regular lifestyle. And to think, he thought ruling the planet would be cool. HA! Think again. BBBOOOORRRRDDDDOOOMMMM.

That all changed when the door open roughly, and in came a short- purple skinned man with a white Mohawk. Gohan noticed him right away.

"Supreme Kai!" Gohan asked skeptically. He had already given up hope of ever meeting anyone from his timeline.

Supreme Kai nodded, "You must be Gohan. I am the Supreme Kai. From this timeline, of course."

"Oh."

"Before the other dimension completely faded away, I got a message from my future self. And I am here to help you as much as I can. I can't tell you anything about Leader so far, since he seems to be inactive at the moment, but I am here to give you this.

Supreme Kai gave Gohan the Z Sword, which seemed weird since it was in stone before. At the time in stone, Supreme Kai could not get it out.

Supreme Kai nodded, "I hope you can make good use out of it. You don't know how much trouble I went through to get this thing free. But your kai told me that you would know what to do with it."

Gohan nodded and took each end of it. With a slight movement of his wrists, the sword snapped in two. Supreme Kai's eyes bulged out and his mouth was twisted horribly. With a silencing gesture from Gohan, Supreme Kai watched as a purple mist came out from the sword, and there stood Old Kai.

With brief introductions, and a little disbelief, Gohan began an important talk with the kais.

Gohan smiled, "I am actually glad that you are here. I have something to ask you."

Supreme Kai folded his hands together, "Go ahead Gohan."

"Thanks. Now, in my time I had a mate. We bonded, but now our bond is broken. She disappeared when I came back to this time and became ruler of this planet that as supposed to have died. Now, here, I meet another girl who acts and almost looks the exact same as the girl from my time. Is there any way that she could be her from a past life?"

Supreme Kai cleared his throat, "That is not impossible. That is actually most likely what it is. See, if this planet died like it did in your timeline, then this new girl would die, too. She could have done something to please King Yemma, and he would have reincarnated in the form of someone else. They could be the very same person that way, and that is most likely how it would have happened."

Gohan smiled, "Thank you. That had been on my mind for the last few days."

"No problem. Well, seeing as how I'm always busy, and that you have a planet to rule, I think that we should end this conversation early,"

Gohan and Supreme Kai shook hands and the kais left Gohan to be bored once again. Only this time, Gohan's mind had a little more to think about.

It's my world now

Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

Planet Vegeta

Mountains

(I will now be calling this mystery man Faceless until his true name and nature is revealed)

Gggg

Faceless looked around. He looked into the city, which was below him. It was peaceful, just how he liked him. He had Gohan to thank for that. Gohan was being the greatest leader that he had ever seen. Kudos.

He still maintained in the King's advisor group, with a very low profile. His profession was very close to what he was. He occasionally put out a few words about the planet's problems, but mostly, he just kept to himself. That is how it should be.

Planet Vegeta

Zasha's Bedroom

Noon

Gggg

Zasha had just returned to her room to change her outfit. She had a formal dinner to attend before Bardock and his team, now elites, departed to go to a planet with Planet Vegeta's new food source. The planet was desolate and bare, with exception for plants and animals. That much she knew that Gohan was thankful for. Gohan didn't want to kill anyone just to steal their food. That's not how he was.

She knew a lot about Gohan now. Almost everything, except for some of his more private things. However, she knew that that information would be hers soon anyway. She adored him, and somehow she knew that he was beginning to fall for her as well. Good. She needed him. Wanted him was more the phrase. It was not for power. Or his looks. It was his attitude. The way that he was always on top of things. Except in bed, she laid on top of him. That thought made her smirk.

Yeah, there were some things that she didn't like. Such as how he could meditate for hours. Also, how he could be so damn powerful when he wasn't even trying. But that didn't stop her passion for him. Gohan was just….. Gohan.

Who's in charge of my head today
Dancin' devils in angels way

It's my time now

Look out motherfuckers here I come
Gonna make my head home
The sons of bitches tried to take my head
Tried to make me someone else instead

Planet Vegeta

Market Place

Goten

Gggg

Goten made his way around the market place. It was nice just to walk around where there were people. It made a nice change from being alone all of the time. Though the merchandise was a bit weird.

First, he noticed that there were slaves for sale. He would bring that up at the next meeting. That just had to stop. To have slaves was cruel and wrong.

Next, he noticed some clothes for sale. He went through them, and found a few outfits that he liked. All were black. Black boots, Gloves like Vegeta's, but they were black, wristbands, outfits, and even boxers. All ones that he had found appealing. He paid happily, even adding a tip.

The next place he went to sold jewelry. Now, Gohan wasn't much into this kind of stuff, but some of the things he liked. Spiked wristbands, which he bought. Then, there was a necklace that looked like a raindrop, that glowed a crimson red. He bought that, too. Metal chokers were also added to his collection.

This place was defiantly one of his favorites now. They all noticed his armor and were very kind to him, considering how nice the planet was now.

Things got interesting when he finished shopping at the last store. After paying, he turned around to face a girl that looked about his age. He also noticed how very pretty she was. With a smile on her face

"Hi," she said, "I'm Rani."

It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world

I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head

Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is

Gohan's Chambers

Later That Night

Gggg

Gohan rubbed his forehead lightly, causing Zasha to look at him with worry, "Gohan, what is wrong?"

"Nothing," Gohan lied, "Okay, it's just that Goten hasn't retuned for the night. I feel that there is something wrong."

Zasha looked at him for a moment, then laughed, "Are you kidding me? From what I understand, he is almost as strong as you are. You're overreacting."

Gohan looked up, "I guess you're right."

"Of course I'm right. Now, come to bed. It's starting to get cold."

Gohan did as he was told, putting the thought of Goten behind him. Gohan knew that he would be fine.

Gggg

God it feels like it only rains on me

Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is

I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

Enough's enough
