Chapter 8
As the sun rose Vegeta thought heavily about what he was going to wish for. There were many things that crossed his mind but many of his wish ideas seemed to have major downfalls to go along with their benefits. Immortality for example, was one of the main options he juggled with
While the idea of living forever was intriguing and guarantees victory against Frieza at some point, Vegeta couldn't help but see that as taking the easy way out. His Saiyan Pride wouldn't allow a cop out strategy such as that. He'd also never enjoy the thrill of battle since he could no longer be defeated. Overall, Vegeta was sure that immortality would be more of a curse than a blessing for someone like him
"I could always wish for the strength to defeat frieza… or for the dragon to take care of him for me" Vegeta thought to himself. The thought was ultimately rejected however, as having the power given to him bothers him and Frieza must die by Saiyan hands. Anything else is unacceptable to the Saiyan prince
The sound of Bulma waking up beside him stirred him out of his musings . She flashed a smile at him, which he responded to with a smirk
"Good morning Vegeta. Today's the big day huh? Everything that we've been doing for the past weeks has been leading to this. We'll finally see the dragon and make a wish!" Bulma said excitedly
She couldn't help but feel happy for Vegeta. Of course she'd miss out on her lifetime supply of strawberries, but she felt that Vegeta deserved the wish more
Vegeta just nodded at Bulma's assessment. He was still thinking about what to wish for
Bulma wasn't satisfied with Vegeta's nod and wanted to get more out of the prince.
"So what are you going to wish for?" Bulma asked curiously
Vegeta looked at Bulma with a straight face and then casually shrugged his shoulders
"I honestly have no idea what I'm going to wish for Bulma… I just want it to be meaningful and beneficial for everyone" the prince replied
"Well that sounded very out of character for you Vegeta. When did you start caring for people other than yourself and Goku?" Bulma questioned teasingly
"The moment I ran into you" Vegeta replied honestly before he could stop himself
Both Bulma and Vegeta's eyes widened at the prince's confession. Slowly Bulma smiled brightly and leaned in to give Vegeta a kiss on the cheek causing the Saiyan to blush
"Well I'm sure you'll think of something when the time comes now lets go make this wish" Bulma said leaving the room leaving a blushing Vegeta behind
Everyone was gathered outside the remains of Pilaf's castle in anticipation for the summoning of the dragon. Goku in particular was incredibly giddy
"Can we hurry up and do this already? I can't wait to see this dragon" Goku said losing patience
Bulma stepped up to the dragon balls in order to make the wish but before she could; emperor Pilaf stepped in front of her
"ETERNAL DRAGON, COME FORTH AND GRANT MY WISH!" Pilaf yelled at the top of his lungs
Vegeta was livid and quickly zoomed up to the emperor's side, grabbing him by the collar and hoisting him up in the air
"I thought I had made it clear to you that any attempt at taking the wish from us will result in a slow painful death. Now which limb should I remove first?" The prince said menacingly causing Pilaf to quiver in fear
"I wa-wasn't trying to st-steal the wish Mr. Ve-Vegeta. I only wanted t-to summon the dragon for you" Pilaf stuttered
"Do you really think that I'll believe that pathetic excuse for trying to defy me? This the end of the line for you" Vegeta said raising his hand but he stopped when he noticed the sky had gotten dark
There was a thundering boom and a fierce crackling sound as a blinding light erupted from the dragon balls. Eventually it took form and there floated a long serpent like green dragon
"YOU THAT HAVE SUMMONED ME, STATE YOUR DESIRE. I WILL GRANT YOU ONLY 1 WISH" the dragon boomed loudly
Everyone in attendance looked at Vegeta in expectance. Vegeta lets his eyes wander throughout the group. He let his eyes wonder on Goku who smirked
"You can do this Brother! I'll support any wish you make" Goku said
Vegeta thought about Goku's words carefully
'Brother… Kakarot might've just given me the perfect wish!' the prince thought to himself
Vegeta threw Pilaf back towards the group before looking at the Dragon. He took a deep breath before stating his wish
"I wish that Kakarot and I's siblings be teleported here to my location" Vegeta said with a smirk on his face
The dragon's eyes glowed red causing Goku to shout
"I totally called that!"
Then the Dragon's voice announced "YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. FAREWELL" then the dragon balls rose into the air and scattered all over the Earth
Both Vegeta and Goku waited in excitement as they looked around for more Saiyans. Then as if out of no where 3 beams of light shot down each light revealing the form of a person. The first form stopped out of the light in complete shock
"Prince Vegeta? Kakarot? Is that you" the tall long haired man asked Vegeta and Goku causing Vegeta to smile a genuine smile
"Raditz. No need to be so formal. We are friends after all. Kakarot this is your older brother" Vegeta said putting his hands on the older male's shoulders
Goku looked in surprise before smiling and launching himself at Raditz, who caught his brother with a smile
"It's nice to finally see you to Kakarot and Friends? Seems like you've grown soft on this planet away from Frieza's clutches" Raditz said teasingly
"Well if you think that then check my power" the prince said smirking back at his first friend. Although he wouldn't admit this out loud he truly missed Raditz
Two more figures walked out of the light and towards the group. One looked like a slightly older version of Goku and the other looked like a child aged Vegeta. Both Raditz and Vegeta stared in shock as the younger saiyans walked towards them
"Turles?" Raditz said uncertainly
"Tarble?" Vegeta said with the same level of uncertainty
Both of the younger saiyans looked up at their names being called. Then they looked at each other before smiling and running towards their older brothers. It was such an un-saiyan like thing to do but with the isolation the two felt on their respective planets; it felt good to be around the familiar faces of their older siblings
With Tarble and Vegeta
With tears in his eyes Tarble ran towards his estranged older brother. He was outcast by their father because of his power level and he didn't know how Vegeta would react to seeing him
"Tarble I thought I'd never see you again after father sending you to that planet on the other side of the solar system" Vegeta said embracing his brother
This action greatly surprised Tarble who wasn't used to being hugged
"Vegeta I don't understand. How did I get here?" Tarble asked confused
"I'll explain everything later. It's good to have you little brother. How was your stay on the planet father sent you to?" Vegeta asked
'I don't get it. I thought father said that saiyans need to block off emotions and be ruthless, but Vegeta is being nice to me' Tarble thought to himself before smiling and answering the question
"It was fun! The people on that planet were a little weird looking, but they were nice and fed me well. I am the strongest warrior there but I'm still pretty weak for a Saiyan with royal blood… maybe that's why father sent me there" Tarble said lowering his head
Vegeta looked away from his brother for a second. It was true that Tarble's power wasn't nearly as high as his, and even Goku far surpassed him despite being a third class Saiyan. That's not what mattered to Vegeta though
"That doesn't matter Tarble. Now that we're together again we can train together so you'll get stronger for sure. We both have royal blood in us so we were destined to be great; never forget that" Vegeta said
This caused a sincere smile to show on Tarble's face and tears of joy filled the 14 year olds eyes as he nodded at his brother's words
"Thanks Vegeta, I promise I won't let you down" Tarble said
Vegeta knew that his little brother was going to try his very best to get stronger and the thought caused a streak of pride in the eldest prince
"I know you won't Tarble; now lets go rejoin the group. I want to introduce you to my friends and allies" Vegeta said as he and Tarble started to walk back towards the group
With Raditz, Goku and Turles
Raditz hasn't been this happy in a long time. He was reunited with his little siblings who looked so much like their father. He became aware that Turles and Goku didn't know each other, so he felt that it was his responsibility of the oldest to introduce them
"Turles this is Kakarot. He's our youngest brother born on the day that Frieza destroyed our planet" Raditz said pushing his brothers together
Turles and Goku looked at each other in confusion at first, but then Goku smiled and hugged Turles. This action caused Raditz to smile at his brothers before laughing at Turles' embarrassed face
"You just like me Turles!" Goku said excitedly releasing his hug on his brother
Turles blinked at the comment before smirking
"I guess we both got our looks from our father. Obviously Raditz looks like mom, I mean look at that hair" Turles said laughing along with Goku
Raditz, obviously offended, rolled his eyes at his siblings' antics. They've barely been around each other for 5 mins and they were already teaming up to torment him
"That was very funny Turles, good to know you've grown up to be a typical third class clown" Raditz teased causing Turles to growl
"Hey Vegeta used to call me that all the time! What does that mean?" Goku asked
Raditz and Turles looked at each other before Raditz stepped forward to explain it
"Well Kakarot, saiyans are assigned a class based on their power levels at birth. I was born with a power level of 80 so I am a middle class Saiyan. Turles was born with a power level of 8 so he is a low class Saiyan. Do you understand now?" Raditz asked Goku who looked confused
Goku simply nodded dumbly causing Raditz and Turles to both Sweat drop
"Wait Raditz what was Kakarot's power level at birth?" Turles asked
Raditz thought for a minute before bursting into laughter. This action confused both Goku and Turles
"Kakarot was born with a power level of 2" Raditz said still chuckling
Now it was Turles turn to laugh as Goku's face turned red in embarrassment. He didn't like that he was born with such a low power level, but after assessing his brothers' powers level and smirking
"Neither of you two can laugh about power levels considering your current power" Goku said
This immediately caused his brothers laughter to stop. They both tapped the side of their scouters to see Goku's power. Goku's smirk widened as he saw the expressions on his brothers face
Raditz was amazed at Goku's power and also incredibly proud. Turles was proud as well, but he was also a little jealous of his younger brother's superior power
"Training with Vegeta has really benefited you Kakarot. I'm impressed but I'll close the gap when we start training" Raditz said smirking
Turles smirked and agreed with Raditz. Turles was happy to be around his siblings after being alone for most of his life . He wasn't sure how he got there, but he wasn't going to ask questions. He was just glad that he wasn't alone anymore
"Hey guys come with me; let me introduce you to me and Vegeta's friends" Goku said happily grabbing Raditz and Turles hands and dragging them towards the group
Raditz and Turles looked at each other and shook their head smiling as they allowed Goku to drag them towards the earthlings
Normal POV
The Saiyans returned to the group with their siblings and the introductions were more than humorous
The earthlings fawned over the similarities between Turles and Goku with the only noticeable difference being their skin tones with Turles a being slightly darker shade
There was also a mass confusion on why Tarble was so polite in comparison to Vegeta. While it took weeks for Vegeta to even show signs of friendship towards the earthlings; Tarble embraced them as friends immediately
Raditz didn't click automatically with the humans. Seeing that he was raised in Frieza's army; he didn't automatically trust people that much. However, after Yamaha commented on his hair, Raditz began to feel more comfortable
Overall, the group welcomed the new saiyans with open arms. Having the saiyans in the group seemed to make Vegeta and Goku happier which in turn made them happy
"Alright now that the wish has been made lets go back to my house" Bulma exclaimed
Everyone nodded and began their walk towards Capsule Corp following Bulma and Vegeta who were hand in hand much to Raditz and Tarble's delight
Even the Pilaf crew was welcome to Capsule Corps with open arms due to much pleading from Yamcha
Tarble, Turles and Goku plotted together often to cause mischief for the older members of the group while journeying back to West city much to the dismay of the rest of the group. The group dreaded the day that the three young saiyans teamed up on pranks. They'd be an unstoppable force that Earth wasn't ready for
When the group arrived in West City, the Saiyans were instantly surprised the sheer number of people that filled the streets. Even Vegeta, Turles and Raditz, who had been on other highly populated planets weren't used to cities this large
Capsule Corp itself was a large building with plenty of rooms for everyone to have one. Being royalty, Vegeta and Tarble weren't affected by the size, but the others, with the exception of Bulma and the Pilaf gang were slack jawed
"Bulma I can't believe you live in such a huge house! Can I have my own room?" Goku asked excitedly
Bulma laughed at the youngest Saiyan before laughing and nodding at the youngest Saiyan
"Of course you can! All of you can have any room you like. You can either have your own room, or room with someone else depending on your preference" the heiress said
Goku and Turles looked at each other and smiled before Goku responded
"Never mind I'm going to room with my Brothers" causing a surprised shout from Raditz
The 22 year old Saiyan sweat dropped at the thought of rooming with the two copies of his father
"Umm scratch that Bulma. Kakarot and Turles can room together but I'd much rather having my own space" Raditz said ignoring the slight disappointment on his younger siblings faces
Later that night everyone were in their rooms and settled down. Raditz was busy putting away the clothes Bulma bought him earlier at the place called the mall when he heard his door open
He sighed in annoyance as he thought it was Turles and Goku, who had consistently been in and out of his room since they moved into Capsule Corp, but when he opened the door he was greeted by none other than Vegeta
"Vegeta!? What are you doing here this time of night?" Raditz asked confused stepping aside so that the prince can enter. He had thought that Vegeta would be with Bulma at this hour
Vegeta had a serious look on his face as he prepared himself to talk to his first friend
"Raditz… Are you okay" Vegeta asked seriously
At the tone of his voice Raditz automatically knew what he referring too and his mood suddenly got a lot more serious
"I'm fine Vegeta, but a lot of things happened in your absence. Frieza has missed torturing you, so he used me instead" Raditz said causing Vegeta to grimace
"Don't worry I could take it because I knew it was for a good cause, but Frieza definitely did his best to break me and Nappa…" Raditz trailed off
Vegeta looked on in shock as he asked "What happened to Nappa?"
Raditz expression darkened and Vegeta could feel his power rising
"It all started when…"
TBC
Ages: Tarble and Turles are 14 which makes them 2 years older than Goku/Kakarot
Power Levels
Tarble: 3,500 (he's still a elite. He just isn't near as strong as Vegeta was)
Turles: 2,000 (I might be high balling for a young Turles but it seems like he'd be a strong kid based of the tree of might movie)
Raditz: 7,200 *you'll understand why next chapter*
All the other power levels are the same
