Okay, I updated again. I haven't gotten the amount of reviews that I wanted but.. ah well. This is for those of you who did review my story. Tell me what u think. I also changed the rating of the story to PG-13 because it doesn't really have violence in it right now.
Now on to chapter 4
Chapter 4: The Revelation
"Hey Goku! Vegeta! Wake up!"
King Kai came storming through his living room in a fit of nervousness and panic.
"Wha… what?!" Goku woke up frantically crashing clumsily to the floor.
"Oww!"
"Goku, this is no time to goof around!" King Kai screamed. "The Supreme Kai requests your services immediately!"
Still rubbing his head in agony, Goku quickly slipped on his training uniform.
"What's all this about King Kai?"
"No time to explain, just hurry!"
"Hurry huh?" Goku said slyly. "Seems like someone else is still sleeping on the couch."
Vegeta groaned comfortably in his sleep and rolled to the other side of the sofa bed.
"Ahhhh! You saiya-jins are so…!"
"So what King Kai?" Vegeta cut in.
"Uhhh… huh? You were awake? Oh brother."
King Kai suddenly collapsed to the floor.
"What's up with him?" Vegeta asked.
Goku shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, come on then, let's go Kakarott."
"Right."
*****
"Hmmm, where did everybody go?" Goku scanned the planet proficiently trying to pinpoint Shin's location. "The Supreme Kai's planet looks so deserted."
"That's because it is deserted," an elderly voice replied.
Goku and Vegeta quickly turned around to accommodate the person's full attention.
"Elder Kai?"
"Yes Goku. It's been a while."
"So where is Shin and the others? Goku inquired.
"Actually, they left a while ago on a very important mission. Shin told me to inform you of his whereabouts. He said that you should meet him at the Home for Infinite Losers."
"Why there?" Vegeta cut in.
"Beats me, he took off without mentioning anything else. He seemed a bit worried if you asked me. Or maybe terrified is a better way of putting it."
"Come on Kakarott, let's not waste anymore time here. I have a feeling that something terrible is about to happen."
Goku looked at his friend with deep concern before obeying his anxious wishes. They teleported to the lower underworld, where the scum of the universe resided. And it was there they began their search for the Supreme Kai and the answers they were desperately aching for.
"Kakarott! Over here!"
"What is it Vegeta?"
"Look down there…"
Goku's eyes widened in horror as he followed the direction to where Vegeta's finger pointed.
"Is the Supreme Kai among those mangled bodies?' Goku inquired.
"No, but he might be if we don't hurry."
Vegeta crawled into the secret passageway and Goku dove in behind him. It was within those walls they were finally able to come to the Supreme Kai's aid.
"Supreme Kai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Goku. It's just a few minor cuts and bruises."
"But who would do this to you?" Vegeta inquired.
"I was unable to get a good look at his face. I was only able to hold on to his name. His followers called him Ategev."
Ategev? Never heard of that name before, Vegeta thought.
"You guys should get moving because he already has possession of the Yttrium. You guys have to stop him before he fully utilizes its power."
"But we can't leave you here like this," Goku replied selflessly. "We need to…"
"There's no time Kakarott! Didn't you hear what Shin just said! They already have the Yttrium so we have to get going now!"
"Don't worry about me Goku. I'll catch up with you guys later. Just be careful."
The two saiya-jins finally bade farewell to the Supreme Kai and departed deeper down the passageway. It was there they came across a predicament where the path had now split in two.
"Just great! Now what Kakarott?"
"Hmm. I guess we'll just have to split up. You'll take the left and I'll take the right."
"Alright then," Vegeta reluctantly agreed.
"Good luck Vegeta!" Goku shouted as he began walking down his side of the passageway.
"Whatever Kakarott! Hmph!"
Now I wonder where this path eventually leads to, Goku thought to himself carelessly.
As he scoured deeper within the enemies' domain, a negative energy seemed to gradually surround him. The energy seemed to grow more stifling as he neared even closer to the end of the passageway.
"Is anybody there?"
Goku's journey soon came to an end when he discovered the Yttrium glowing beautifully on a cushion made of silk. Next to the treasure, was a warrior standing in armor, a warrior who somehow looked a lot like him.
"Who are you?" Goku asked demandingly.
"I think you already know the answer to that question my friend…"
****
I wonder if Kakarott is having better luck than I am? I've been walking under here for almost an hour now!
"Lord Ategev said we should go to the temple immediately!"
"Vengeance is finally ours!"
"Yeah!"
Vegeta hid amongst the shadows as the men skipped deeper into the corridors.
Are my eyes fooling me, or were those really saiya-jins just now?"Hail to Lord Ategev!"
I guess I should follow them.
Vegeta snuck quickly down the pathway until he came across an opened door. Inside, was an immense temple fully congregated by saiya-jin warriors.
I was right. They were saiya-jins…
"Alright my warriors! The time has finally come!"
It's that strange familiar energy again. Could it be?"Bring the intruder forward!"
Kakarott? What in the world is…As Goku was dragged against his will towards the altar, the speaker gradually removed his hooded robe.
"Vegeta? No, you're not Vegeta. Who… who are you?" Goku asked.
"I'll answer that question for you Kakarott!" Vegeta cut in. "That man standing before you is no other than King Vegeta. He is my father…"
