Chapter 3: The Plot
*Groans*
"Aww man, I can't sleep," Goku whined softly. "Maybe I should have a midnight snack or something."
*Soft humming*
"Kakarott? Is that you?"
"Oh Vegeta, didn't realize you were awake. So I guess you can't sleep either huh?"
Vegeta continued to peer through an open window as Goku made his way to his side.
"You know Vegeta, I was wondering…"
Vegeta switched his position a bit to look at Goku.
"…did you feel that strange presence earlier? You know, around the time when we were on the small planet where the Yttrium is now stored?"
Vegeta stared at Goku a bit puzzled.
"You mean you didn't feel it?"
Vegeta switched his attention again and resumed staring at the stars which illuminated the sky.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Goku asked. "King Kai's new planet has great scenery."
Yeah it's beautiful, Vegeta thought to himself. A bit nostalgic is a good way of putting it. Sorta reminds
me of Planet Vegeta.
Vegeta pulled at the curtains and slid the window shut.
"I'm going back a bed now Kakarott. Good night."
Vegeta waved his hand in dismissal before dropping himself heavily unto King Kai's sofa bed.
"Well alright then Vegeta… good night."
Goku stared at his friend in confusion before retreating to his bed as well.
Vegeta watched as Goku disappeared into the next room while tucking himself between the cotton sheets.
It's not that I didn't feel that strange energy Kakarott. It's just that it felt so familiar to me. Like I've collided or maybe even connected with those powers before.
Vegeta stared up at the endless darkness surrounding the room, pondering about what he had felt out there.
I have to find out where that strange energy came from. I just have too…****
Meanwhile… somewhere in the Home For Infinite Losers, there was a small temple hidden deep underground. Within its walls resided an organization of warriors brewing a sinister plot to claim the dominant position in the Universe.
Leading them was a man long forgotten by both the living and the dead; a man who was once of high class and high caliber in the universe.
"Alright my warriors, the opportunity we've been awaiting has finally arrived. We'll finally have a chance to make a difference once again and re-claim our status as the most powerful warriors of the Universe!"
The men erupted in loud applause and excitement, and the temple walls seemed to shake in elation.
"No longer should we have to lurk in the shadows and the holes like mice, while the small kittens try to act like Lions. We are the Lions, we are the Kings, and we will once again grasp universal domination. We shall triumph over our enemies and taste sweet vengeance! We shall harness the Yttrium's true power and rule over all of space and time!"
"Yeah!" The warriors bellowed. "Hail to Lord tlegev!"
The entire congregation willingly pledged their allegiance to the boastful speaker, they swore their undying loyalty and trust to his uplifting words.
"This is it men!"
The one they called Ategev finally revealed a beautiful orb glowing on a tall pillar made of concrete.
"Victory shall be Ours!"
