Have we received any communications from our survey team stationed over Termnit"

"No your highness"

Vegeta sighs softly and looks to his left "Well old friend you up for one more mission with me"

Bardock smiles softly "Only if we can take the kids on a...field trip oh wait we can't do that you know the whole 'never see my daughter again' thing you did all those years ago. You know that boy is still a little bitter over that." Bardock says with a vague hint of sadness or sympathy

"Damn I forgot about that but it isn't like they listened to that decree. haha but if it makes getting started with this mission any quicker then I'll amend the order"

"Good I'll go gather Kakarot and my armor and be waiting at hangar 12" Bardock says over his shoulder as he walks towards the door

"Absolutely not."

"Gine he's coming with us"

"Your not taking my son to a beta level planet. Are you out of your mind Bardock it usually takes a entire company of soldiers to secure a planet like that and you think two adults and two teenagers can do it ha your arrogance may be your downfall but it won't be his"

"He's going whether you like it or not. Our king requested his Presence"

Just then topic of the argument walks down the stairs with saiyan battle armor on. Gine can't help but smile at how handsome he's become it seemed like yesterday his now chiseled jaw was nothing more than fat and he barely reached her knees now he was eye level with her.

Realizing she can't baby him forever she relents "Fine Bardock but at least make sure he keeps breathing. You on the other hand can drop dead"

"Mother you'd be devastated if father died and you know it." Kakarot says with a smirk

"Oh shut up and get going Goku hahahaha"

"Mooooom stop it you know I hate that name" he whines

Bardock chuckles "let's go before goku here burst out in tears"

"Really Dad seriously you too" Kakarot gapes before dramatically throwing his arms up and walks out the house mumbling about how childish his parents are

The moment the door closes Bardock returns to his serious mood "I'll keep him safe don't worry"

"It's not that it's just the fact that he's growing up so fast he's 15 now and well I only have 3 years left with him before he moves on to bigger and better things"

He hugs her and kisses her forehead "I understand Gine I really do but we gotta go see ya" he says abruptly ending the moment and runs towards the door throwing it open and taking off. In the distance she hears two Sonic booms and sends a silent prayer along with her boys

"Remember don't be afraid to show your strength"

"Yes sir"

"Our shuttle is equipped with a training room I expect to see you in it"

"Yes sir"

"Oh and Vega for the love of Kami dont make kissy faces with Kakarot"

what Kakarot is coming too im not surprised he's probably really strong now I haven't seen him since that incident with Broly "Dad I haven't seen Goku in years I doubt either of us will be making any kind of faces" she says finally giving an answer besides the standard yes or no sir. "And besides I'll be too busy talking to Broly or training to even do anything besides acknowledge his presence"

"I hate that kid he's to skinny and couldn't you find someone else maybe someone who isn't Paragus' son"

"Brolys a nice guy dad maybe if you actually spoke to him instead of ignoring him or having Mr Bardock "Escort" him out of the palace you would know" she teases making sure to add air quotation around escort

"Sire all preparations for take off are complete. Engines running at full capacity and pilot is already on board"

"Good" noticing two familiar hair styles in the distance she looks to her father "Father im going ahead to get settled in" Vega then give a mock salute and heads up the ramp into the ship as quickly as possible without drawing suspicion

The King nods his head in indifference and turns back to the engineer "What about Commander Bardock and his brat?"

"We're right here" they both say at the same time before saluting simultaneously then giving the king the same arrogant smirk

'OK the way these two look identical is creepy. well at least they wear different colors'

"let's go we don't have all day."

The trio then boards the ship

After getting their bearing situated Kakarot takes a shower and as he's gets dressed he walks towards the C.I.C. looking for his father. Upon entering the Command Center he's shocked to see a girl only a few inches shorter than him standing at the far end of the table looking at him

"Kakarot" she says coldly before returning to reading something on one of the monitors that spanned the rooms rear wall

Caught off guard by her cold acknowledgement of a long term friend he quickly regains his composure and takes a more professional approach "Princess Vega I had no idea you were coming along"

"Yes my father insisted that I come" she replies without taking her eyes off the screen

Not knowing how to feel Kakarot decides it'd be best if he left the room "Well I was looking for my father but since he's clearly not in here and I seem to be bothering you I'll just continue my search Elsewhere a pleasure seeing you again my lady" with he turns and leaves the room missing the regretful look in Vegas eyes as she watches him leave.

'Im so sorry Goku you didn't deserve that but I don't think im ready to talk to you again not after last time'

Her scouter beeping pulled her out her thoughts the words incoming call flash on the screen and she presses a button on the side to accept the call

"Hey beautiful"

She forces out a fake smile and says"Hey broly"

"What's wrong you seem out of it"

"Um Kakarots here"

"WHAT WHY WOULD YOUR FATHER BRING THAT WEAK PIECE OF TRASH AND NOT SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY FIGHT!"

"Mind your words Broly we may no longer talk but I will not allow you to berate his ability to conduct combat especially if he's beaten you several times"

"So your taking his side? You still like the punk don't you"

"Broly-"

"Don't Broly me I knew you didn't really care about us I knew you'd leave me for that trash at the first opportunity-"

"Broly will you-"

"You want to chase after sewer trash fine but I will not be toyed with like one of your fathers whores!" realizing what he said Broly quickly tries to correct his mistake "I meant-"

"No you said what you meant I had already made the decision not to pursue any relationship with Kakarot friendly or otherwise I cut all contact with him for you. I probably just ended any chances of him ever speaking to me again outside of missions for you but for what? All you've done is add to my sadness then you insult my father by claiming he has whores I'm done I once felt something for you. Now it's gone just like our relationship...goodbye"

"VEGA BABY WAIT-"

She closed the channel took her scouter off and smashed it in her hands. She then pulls up the security cameras and looks finding Kakarot moving through the ship looking through every door she presses a few buttons as She bypasses the security on Kakarots scouter and says

"Kakarot your father is currently in the War Room after you speak to him stop by my Quarters we need to talk" he tenses slightly then relaxes and looks at the nearest camera and mouths a "thanks" then turns and heads the other way
