Chapter 64

Last time on DragonBall AF, just as things had finally been going back into a regular routine, terror has struck again. A mysterious man claiming to be from the future has attacked celery and Bra at their own house. Goku and Vegeta are trying to figure out exactly why this man has come to their own time. But the question is, is he really a Legendary Super Saiyan?

"He's got to be bluffing," said Vegeta. "I don't see a time machine or anything, and how can you even prove your Saiyan?"

"Hm, I suppose by my features," he said calmly. "The black hair and the vest, and of course the face. I bear quite an uncanny resemblance to the Son family even this far into the future."

Goku eyed the stranger menacingly. "What's your name? I want to know exactly why you're here."

"Inquisitive, aren't we?" he replied. "My name is Daikon, and as I said, a descendent of Goshin. Long story short, I want power. I was destined to be the strongest of the Saiyan race. But your descendents have ruined that. They are capable of achieving Super Saiyan 4. I unfortunately am not because my tail was severed at birth. I've been trying to overthrow them but I can't! And they always show mercy upon me, even when I have been sorely defeated. So by stealing a time machine from the Capsule Corp headquarters, I decided to come back in time and kill you both so that your ancestors will never exist and I will be free to take over the universe as its sole ruler!"

"Your sick!" yelled Goku. "Why even come back to this point in history? Why not go back only 500 years or less? Why us and why now!"

"Hahaha," chuckled Daikon. "I'm afraid my reasons for that I won't tell you. Let's just say you two are… the root of it all. Now if you don't mind, I believe it's about time we get down to business."

In an instant, Daikon vanished into thin air. "What the hell!" exclaimed Vegeta. "How did he move that fast? I can't even sense him!"

"Neither can I!" said Goku. "He must've went outside, let's follo-" Just as Goku made a break for the giant hole in the kitchen wall, when Daikon appeared behind him and put him in a strangle hold.

"If you follow, Vegeta," he said, "I'll kill you." And once again, Daikon disappeared, taking Goku with him, except this time he had used the Instantaneous Movement.

Vegeta was frozen on the spot as he stared at the place Goku was just standing seconds before. "I can't believe I let this happen," he said to himself. "DAMN IT!" He slammed his fist into what remained of the wall, causing it to crumble before him. "What do I do now?" he wondered aloud. "Wait, grandma and mom are the first priority."

He rushed to one of the cabinets and opened it. In the corner of it sat a small bag, containing 4 Senzu beans. He had received them from Yajirobe a few months back just in case of an emergency. He took two of them out and ran to his grandmother first. "Here grandma, eat this," he said. He slipped it into her mouth, helping her to chew it. She finally swallowed it and began to stir.

"Vegeta, is that you?" she asked.

"Yea grandma, it's me, are you all right?"

"I'm feeling much better now," replied Bra as she stood up with Vegeta's help. "Quickly, help your mother out as well." Vegeta did so and soon Celery was conscious and healthy again as well."

"What did he do to my kitchen!" she yelled. "That lumbering piece of-"

"Mom, you can save that for later," interrupted Vegeta. "Right now we have bigger problems on our hands and I need some answers. Do you guys know anything about the Legendary Super Saiyan?"

"What?" scoffed Bra. "What are you talking about that for when we've just been invaded in our own home!"

"Because that was a Legendary Super Saiyan from the year 1788! He's taken Goku and I have no idea what's happened to Goshin!" screamed Vegeta.

Bra's eyes seemed to bulge out of her head when she heard this. "I-I was wondering why he had a vest on that looked like my dad's. Vegeta, before I tell you anything, you have to tell me what happened after we were knocked out first."

Miles away in a deep cavern below the surface, Daikon had a makeshift shelter set up. Also there was the imprisoned twin Saiyans. "Yes, everything is working perfectly now," said Daikon. "Still feeling a little bit of fight left, eh Goku? Why don't you just give up like your brother has?"

Daikon stood in front of a giant holding cell. He peered in through the glass and inside was Goku and Goshin. Goshin lay on the ground, unconscious. Goku was walking back and forth groggily. The chamber was filling slowly with some type of gas that was immobilizing the two brothers.

"I'll…get out of… here…" said Goku, slurring his speech.

"No," answered Daikon shaking his head. "You won't. Before you pass out though, you should hear this. I've taken you and your brother out before you knew what hit you so I wouldn't have that wretched Super Saiyan 4 to deal with. Vegeta is by far the weakest out of the three of you, and quite frankly, I know I can beat him. I'm much stronger than Broly ever was so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Once I kill him I will dispose of you while you are still knocked out and release Goshin. At least you get to die a painless death Goku, so be happy."

"You…bastard…" said Goku, but it was barely heard as he fell to the ground, knocked out from the noxious fumes inside the chamber.

"And now for phase two," said the Super Saiyan to himself. He walked to the corner of the cavern, and there was the time machine that he had used to get there. It was slightly modified from the one Bulma had made, but still had the same distinct characteristics. He pushed a button and the hatch opened slowly. He floated up and reached into the machine and pulled out a box. Inside were four capsules, and he took one and popped it open.

BOM "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Heh-heh, settle down there," laughed Daikon as he tried to calm the thing that had emerged. "This will by me enough time to prepare I think…"

"You mean to tell me that time can't be changed!" yelled Vegeta.

"Yes, Vegeta, we've known this for a while," answered Bra. "Once you travel back in time, you're setting up an entirely new change of events that makes a completely different reality. Time is a constant and can't be changed. This Daikon's plan is in vain."

"That's one good thing then," said Vegeta. "But I'll let him keep believing this for a while. He'll probably think I'm bluffing anyways."

"Wait, you can't seriously be thinking about going up against this monster," pleaded Celery.

"Mom, what do you expect me to do?" shot back Vegeta. "I have to help Goku, and Goshin might be in danger as well. I'm the last person there is to help. Even if I am without Super Saiyan 4, I still have to have a good shot if I'm a Super Saiyan 2, right?"

"I hope so Vegeta," said Bra. "But If what you said is correct about him being stronger than Broly, then anything is possible. Why don't you get Uubu to help you out, that way you won't have to go it alone."

"No, bad idea," he said sharply. "For one thing, nobody knows where he's at. I can't even sense him. And second, he's probably too focused to even know what's going on now. He's probably in some zen-meditative state or something."

"But you don't even know where to find this person!" yelled Celery. "I don't want you getting hurt.

The rage started building inside Vegeta, as the words his mother spoke struck a chord with him. "You must think that I'm so much weaker than Goku and Goshin that I can't do anything!" he bellowed. "I WILL defeat this Daikon ass and I will bring back Goku and Goshin! Super Saiyan 4 isn't everything you know, I still have my pride, if that's anything I've learned!"

"Learned?" questioned Bra. "What are you talking about?"

"J-just forget it," replied Vegeta. "I'm going, and I'm not coming back until I've killed this guy. Call Pan and try to find out if Goshin really is gone and tell her what's going on. And uh, try to get this wall fixed too." And with that, Vegeta ran through the gaping hole and jumped into the air on to his battle.

"So stubborn," mulled Bra, "he's just so stubborn. He probably doesn't even know where he's flying too. Always off on a whim."

I have to prove to them, and myself, that I can still make a difference, thought Vegeta to himself as he flew through the evening air. I swear it, I won't be beaten again!

Anger has gotten the best of Vegeta after Goku and Goshin have both been abducted by Daikon. But how will Vegeta locate his friends? Is he even strong enough to beat Daikon? And what exactly does Daikon have up his sleeve with what was released from inside the capsule? Find out on the next chapter of DragonBall AF!
