"It's not possible." Gotu thought. Her body rejected the sight before her. She fell to her knees as the world around her fell away; her vision became blurred, her ears def, and her body numb. Nothing was left within her except loss and loneliness. "My own son… killed Trunks…" She whispered as a single tear rolled down her cheek. As a second tear began to fall, her heart ache broke within her and her veins filled with a new power. She stood up and, clenching her fists, welcomed the surge. Her hair grew down past her waist in long, golden spikes; she had reached the level of a super Saiyan 3. Her focus shifted from the pain of loss to the new sensation of power that bristled along her body. Senses returning, she finally heard Vegeta's screams of rage.

She felt the change in him immediately. Turning her head slowly to confirm it, her eyes found that Vegeta had indeed reached super Saiyan 3 as well.

"You made a grave mistake, Vegito." Vegeta spoke ominously. "You may have been able to beat all three of us before, and you may even be able to beat one of us at this level, but with the two of us before you, your chances are quite slim."

"Slim, maybe, but not impossible." Vegito laughed, insanity seeming to overtake him. "Don't you see? I've broken the wall keeping me from accessing all of my power. I've destroyed the ties to my old life of purity. It died along with my father."

"You bastard. That was my SON!" Vegeta yelled out darting forward to land a punch to Vegito's stomach. Vegito fell slightly, clutching his stomach with shock at the power Vegeta now possessed. He sputtered a small amount of blood before speaking.

"I see your power increase was a little more than I expected, but it still doesn't matter. I have an almost limitless depth, which I'll show you now." Electricity began to spark around Vegito's body. He grunted as his power continued to soar. His aura grew larger around him and became an even deeper shade of red.

Vegeta and Gotu glanced at one another and nodded. Vegito's power was immense, but with the two of them working together, they knew it was possible to defeat him. They both lunged forward, attacking furiously, but Vegito continued to keep pace with them, meeting each attack with a block and a counter of his own. However, this time, the fight was different. Where before their attacks had merely bored Vegito, they were now tiring him, and the few they landed caused him visible pain.

The trio parted in the air for a moment, all panting, exhausted. "Are we giving you a bit more trouble than you anticipated, Vegito?"

Vegito wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth before responding with a chuckle. "We're close to an even match, I think, but it doesn't matter. I can keep up with you both for hours, but eventually, you will lose your super Saiyan 3 power up, but I will keep my form. That's the real benefit to this; instead of it being a transformation, it's simply who I am."

Vegeta became uneasy as he realized the truth in Vegito's words. If they were going to defeat him, it would need to be soon before their powers began to fade.

Gotu and Vegeta began attacking Vegito fiercely again. With each clash between the three, craters formed in the Earth. The skies became dark and menacing as it seemed the planet could barely handle the crashing of such fierce powers on its surface.

Vegito landed a particularly strong blow to Vegeta's left arm, snapping the bone. He cried out and held it lifelessly against his side. The three broke again and hovered in midair.

"Are you okay, Vegeta?!" Gotu yelled at him.

"Damnit, of course I'm fine. Just a small break. I still have another arm, what are you waiting for, child?!" Gotu nodded and leapt at her son again.

"I'm surprised you can stomach hurting your son like this, mother." Vegito laughed.

"And I'm surprised you could stomach killing your father when he had his guard down. Seems we've both been left a little disappointed."

"You should be thanking me. If I hadn't killed father, you might never have reached your real power."

"YOU'RE SICK! I would give every ounce of my power to have your father with me always." The two resumed their clash, gaining intensity with every blow. The Earth was crumbling beneath the immensity of their power.

Vegeta began to grow concerned that the planet could not withstand their battle. The temperature had dropped significantly while the winds suddenly whipped through the trees and a fierce thunderstorm rolled in. The land was crumbled and cracked, dotted with craters. The planet was clearly struggling to maintain its order.

Gotu and Vegito held their foreheads against each other with their fingers on both hands intertwined, fiercely pushing against one another, neither allowing the other to break free from their stance. Suddenly, Vegeta, Gotu and Vegito disappeared from the Earth.

The thunderstorm continued in their wake, and Goku finally awoke from his intense slumber inside of the Son's home. For some reason, he dreamt that Shenron had told him to continue sleeping until the very moment when he awoke. As he looked outside, he immediately noticed the torn landscape and chaotic weather.

"I must've missed something good…" He whispered. "Darn!"

Back in the field where Vegito and Prince Vegeta had landed, the Prince and Bulma still sat awkwardly far apart from each other.

"You said we're going back to your home planet, right? So what are you waiting for?" Bulma asked, irritated.

Vegeta shook his head. He didn't understand why, but something was pushing him not to go back. Somehow, he knew that they needed to stay on Earth because it wouldn't be safe to return to planet Vegeta.

"No, we will not be returning to my planet. You may stay here."

Surprised, Bulma hesitated before responding but strengthened her resolve. "Well?"

"Well, what?" Agitated, Vegeta spoke.

"Well aren't you going to take me back to my house?!" She screamed at him.

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Of course not. You're lucky I didn't let Vegito kill you. You can walk." And with that, Vegeta flew off, leaving the blue haired woman cursing at him in his absence.

With a pop, the trio landed in a desert covered in brick red sand and small, rocky hills. The air was thicker and heavier here.

"Where the hell are we?!" Vegeta sat dazed, still clutching his left arm.

"I don't know… It doesn't make any sense. This doesn't even feel like Earth with how heavy the gravity is, but I've never seen this place before." Gotu squinted her eyes, trying to peer through the wind that whipped sand into their faces.

Vegito was several yards away from the two and the thick, sandy wind prevented him from being able to see where they were. He sensed their presence moments later, however, and began to approach them.

"He's coming, Vegeta. Can you still fight with your arm like that?" Gotu asked.

"I don't think Vegito will give me another option." Gotu nodded and looked around until she spotted a small cave.

"Vegeta! Maybe we can hide our energies and lay low in that cave for a little until you get some strength back."

"The prince of all Saiyans does not hide!"

Gotu rolled her eyes and forcefully dragged Vegeta toward the cave. As they entered, they both noticed carvings along the wall. They seemed to depict stories of whatever planet they must have landed on. Gotu noticed a certain insignia on one portion of the wall that she remembered seeing covering Vegito's chest.

"Vegeta, do you have any idea what that insignia means?" She pointed to it on the wall.

Vegeta squinted at it. "Yes, it is the royal Saiyan insignia. I don't know why it appeared on Vegito's chest, but he is of royal Saiyan blood, so I assume it's connected to that somehow."

"Right, but, what's it doing on the wall in here do you think?"

Suddenly, Vegeta realized where they were. "We're in the red desert…"

"The what? How do you know that?"

"Because. We are on planet Vegeta."

"We're WHAT?!"
