The congregation suddenly simmered to a serene and calm quiet. Each eye was focused on the bold warrior who dared to call Lord Ategev his father.
"You warrior, step forward!"
Vegeta obeyed his father's orders and moved towards the temple altar. He stopped at the front of the congregation where he could see his father face to face.
"It's an honor to see you again King Vegeta," Vegeta said before bowing respectfully to his knees.
"Huh? Vegeta…?"
Goku watched in amazement as Vegeta humbled himself before the proud man.
Hmm. I never saw Vegeta act this way before.
"Stand up… my son."
The congregation roared in chaos by Lord Ategev's sudden revelation.
So he is Vegeta's father, Goku thought to himself. But I wonder what he wants with the Yttrium.
"Quiet!"
Silence once again engulfed the temple as Lord Ategev called for everyone's attention.
"It is time!"
"Time for what father? What do you intend to do with the Yttrium?"
"I'm going to change history my son. Both of us and our warrior race shall reclaim our dominant position in the universe."
Vegeta stared at his father in puzzlement.
"The memory of our destruction centuries ago still continues to haunt my mind," King Vegeta continued. "I'll never forget how easily we were defeated by the hands of Frieza."
Begin recap…Intercom: All warriors to the armory! All warriors to the armory!
"What's going on?
"The armory? Are we going to war?"
"Lord Frieza must have requested more men."
"He must be planning something big."
"Yeah."
"This could be the battle of the century."
"Let's go you guys."
Intercom: "Listen up men! This is your King speaking."
"Hey, it's King Vegeta!"
Intercom: "It's about time our warrior race stood up and grasped what should rightfully be ours. It is time we re-claimed our independence and took back our lives. It is time to take a stand. We shall defeat Frieza and his henchmen and become the destined rulers of the universe."
"Yeah!"
Everyone erupted in applause as they absorbed King Vegeta's uplifting words.
Intercom: "All men to their battle stations. Everyone prepare for war….!!!"
…End of Recap
"Little did we know that Frieza was already on to us; laughing at our plans for a so-called revolt. We were eradicated in a matter of seconds. We were eradicated before we could even put up a fight. You of all people should know exactly how I feel Vegeta. You of all people should be able to understand my plight. Don't you want to taste vengeance my son? Don't you want to go back to that time when the saiya-jins ruled the universe?"
King Vegeta peered anxiously at his son patiently awaiting his reply.
"You have my solemn oath father. With me at your side, victory shall be ours."
The congregation erupted in applause by Vegeta's final decision. However, on the other hand, Goku was not at all contented.
"Vegeta you have to think this over. What your father is plotting is wrong!"
"Quiet Kakarott! You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment. So long I've wanted to have revenge on Frieza for what he had done to our warrior race. You of all people should know how we actually feel. Your own father, your own flesh and blood Kakarott, died at the hands of that madman. You can't tell me that you don't even care!"
"But all that is in the past now Vegeta. Look at how much has changed. We're living peaceful lives now. What sense does it make to go back to a world of chaos?!"
"So Typical of you Kakarott. Always preaching about peace."
Vegeta formed a huge blue energy ball within the palm of his right hand.
"It's time to make a choice Kakarott. It is time it end all this nonsense."
He made the energy ball a bit larger and gazed pitifully at his friend.
"Don't do this Vegeta!"
Vegeta formed an evil smirk on his face and raised his right palm to the air.
"Goodbye Kakarott!"
Vegeta thrust his hand forward releasing the energy ball in Goku's direction. The blast consumed Goku in a sea of light erupting half the temple into rubble. Joining the debris was Goku, who was badly injured and unconscious.
"See you back in the past Kakarott."
