Lots of things happened, Bojack was defeated, Goten was born and Bulma changed her haircut!
The tournament had changed completely, Trunks, Gohan and Krillin were having serious problems with Bojack and his team, they have killed the real alien fighters and have decided to destroy the planet and have some fun turning earthlings into slaves. Yamcha and Tien have decided to help their friends. Trunks had already killed one of his opponents, and had tried to stop Bojack plans with one of the attacks he had learnt from his father but he was being tied up by a powerful attack that was draining his energy. He felt so weak he was no longer a super saiyan and he knew that soon enough he was going to fall to the floor and be defeated. He gritted his teeth in frustration. The other henchman of Bojack threw a spear to Trunks, that was it, that was the end. The boy from the future, closed his eyes for a second and then he felt something familiar, quite "familiar". A sword appeared out of the blue liberating him and sending the spear on a different direction. Trunks grabbed his beloved sword and sheath it on his back as usual, smiling when he heard the metallic click. The roof where the henchmen were standing blew up into pieces and Trunks knew who had done it.
-"Father!"- He called out full of pride.
Vegeta floated in the middle of the debris of the destroyed roof, a cocky smile on his lips.
-"Leave them to me"- He told his son, who nodded in agreement. He was going to teach these dirtbags that they should never try to attack a prince in such a cowardly way, three against one. They were going to pay for that.
Bojack laughed at him. Gohan saw him, while he put Piccolo on a safe place. Having Vegeta on their side was good news, great, he could do with some. He was wishing his own father appeared as wel, but that was impossible, as Goku was dead.
Bojack and Vegeta started to fight, both were incredibly powerful, the buildings were being destroyed, but the destiny of the planet was being fought, so who could care about a few architectonic beauties?. Trunks certainly was paying no attention to bricks and mortar, he was wondering what had happened inside Vegeta.
-"I don´t understand you father, you have withdrawn into the shadows since Goku died, you didn´t want to fight ever again and yet, here you are, defending us"- Trunks said, unable to control his feelings, while he saw how his father was doing his best to defend him. Bojack blasted his father and Trunks decided to help Vegeta, but Bojack henchmen appeared in front of him, smirking in a menacing way.
-"Trunks, stay back"- Vegeta shouted at him. The boy was stupid, he was doing all this effort to save him and there he was, again, getting himself in trouble. He had to knock some sense in that thick head of his. He was so like his mother.
Bojack saw how the prince of saiyans´s concentration was divided between the fight and his son and decided to use that in his advantadge, the fight turned nasty, Vegeta was being punched all over. Trunks couldn´t remain there watching. He saw his father´s body thrown against a wall and decided to get in the middle and save his father for further injuries.
-"Father, let me help"- Trunks pleade with his father in his arms-"You are not strong enough"
Trunks knew his father had not trained for weeks and he was worried. Vegeta was furious, it was an insult to be in his son´s arms, and to be called weak by him!!! He could not tolerate that. It was true that his son was taller than him and possibly stronger, no doubt, due to the fact that he had not trained recently, but to be called weak by his own son was such a disgrace.
-"Don´t make me tell you twice"- Vegeta punched Trunks on the stomach to stop the boy from following him and as a punishment for his previous words.
Trunks saw how his father flew away and how he was enduring so much pain. Bojack was showing no mercy to the prince and Trunks was unable again to obey his father. He flew to his help only to be trapped again in the energy consuming attack of the smaller of the henchmen. Gohan tried to help but had the same problem.
Meanwhile, on the tournament venue, Chi Chi and Bulma were worried for their sons. Bulma had no idea that Vegeta was there, she had seen someone else figthing with the boys but was not sure if it was Piccolo or not.
In the end Gohan saved the day again, with some help from Goku, and some weird help from Mr. Satan. Which made Mr. Satan even more popular than before. Yamcha and Tien offered senzu beans to their friends. Gohan opened his tired eyes and saw the face of his mother, who had arrived just few seconds before, almost crying.
-"Do not worry mom, I am fine"- He told her.
-"My poor Gohan, you have won but look at the crowd, they think it has been Mr. Satan, so they are giving him the money. It is so unfair. You almost got killed and we need the money"- Chi Chi cried
-"Trunks? Trunks?"- Bulma ran with her baby in her arms, she saw her boy helping his father, he was offering Vegeta a senzu beam
-"Mother"- Trunks waved at her-"We are okay"
-"Vegeta? What are you doing here?"- Bulma touched Vegeta´s cheek, he had lots of injuries.
-"Father came to save me"- Trunks explained-"he fought Bojack, we would have lost without him"
-"Really?"- Bulma felt so happy all of a sudden-"You came to save our little boy?"
-"Stop your nonsense, woman"- Vegeta growled-"I was nearby, and heard the noise"
-"Yes, sure"- Bulma winked at her son and walked towards the rest of her friends.
-"Mr. Satan should be ashamed of himself, he is a liar"- Krillin said-"The money should go to Gohan"
-"I will help you Chi Chi, it is the least we can do"- Bulma offered-"Besides, we have more than we need so...don´t worry"
Vegeta looked away, but inside he appreciated Bulma´s nice gesture, she was a kind woman, that was something that made her even more beautiful. Kindness is a rare thing in this universe. He had never seen it till he arrived to this planet. He saw his son, Trunks, talking with Gohan and felt relieved. The boy was safe, and the baby was there, in his mother´s arms, protected, loved and away of any cold-hearted beasts. Maybe he had found his new objective. He was going to make sure that his son could train and become the best warrior in the universe, but not in the way he tried when he was a kid, his son was not going to do it all alone, scared, or angry, no, his son was going to have all the opportunities he never had. He was going to make sure of that.
Vegeta felt Bulma´s presence near him, she was touching his shoulder with tenderness.
-"Are you feeling better?"- She asked him
-"I am feeling great"- He replied-"hungry but great"
-"Let´s go home"- Trunks replied.
Bulma threw a capsule to the floor and the ship appeared, Vegeta saw that Trunks was going to sit in front, next to his mother and stopped the boy.
-"You go in the back, with the baby"- Vegeta ordered him
-"No way"- Trunks looked at his mother
-"Do as I say"- his father pushed him and put the baby on his lap-"and make sure you don´t cry"
-"What?"- Trunsk asked
-"The baby, you moron, make sure the baby doesn´t cry"- Vegeta explained smirking, while he sat next to Bulma. They were going home.
Chi Chi welcomed her friends with a huge smile, she wished Goku had been here too, but this was good enough for her. Bulma had brought all kinds of expensive gifts for them, a new TV set for the Ox King, clothes for the newborn and some cash money for Gohan. She was carrying her little Trunks in her arms. Vegeta followed her but decided to stay a few steps behind with Piccolo. Everyone gathered around the small cot to get a glimpse of the new baby.
-"Is it a girl?"- Bulma asked
-"No, another saiyan crazy warrior, I am afraid"- Chi Chi announce proudly-"he looks just like his father"
-"It is true, it is like looking at Goku"- Krillin smiled, he was so happy too, he was going to take the chance of this reunion to tell the others his own good news.
-"Babies all look alike"- Yamcha had never felt much interest in little children.
-"My son would never look like any of your brats"- Vegeta claimed from behind. He had seen the resemblance too, that was certainly another half-saiyan, he only wished he was going to be a worthy warrior like his father and brother. Kakarot might be dead, but if the kids were strong enough the saiyans will not disappear from the universe. He lowered his gaze and smiled pleased. Piccolo saw it but didn´t comment. He was not a fan of all saiyans but he had to admit that the planet could do with a couple more just in case.
Baby Trunks tried to touch the newborn who started to cry. Bulma moved away from the cot.
-"Trunks!"- She told her son-"You are just like your daddy, you cannot be a good boy when we have company"
Vegeta blushed and left the house, Yamcha and Krillin laughed.
-"Guys, I have great news"- Krillin interrupted the moment-"I want to invite you to my wedding"
-"With 18?"- Gohan shouted-"you do remeber she is an android?"
-"As tactful as usual, Gohan, yes and thanks"- Krillin replied
-"You did use the tips I gave you"- Yamcha said
-"Obviously not, he IS getting married"-Bulma joked-"with your tips, Krillin would have been in an endless relationship for years"
-"Till the woman was able to find someone worthy"- Vegeta muttered in a low voice, Piccolo had to suppress a laugh, after all Yamcha was his friend.
Later that week Bulma arrived home with a new haircut, it was very short and sexy. Her mother looked at her when she entered into the nursery. Grandmother and granfather Briefs were trying to make Trunks smile, the baby was scowling at them from his cot.
-"Hello darling"- Her mother welcomed her.
Bulma saw that Vegeta was in the room as well, a few feet away from the cot, just watching the show. She smiled at him and showed him her haircut. He smirked a devilish grin and she knew he had liked it.
-"How has my big boy been today?"- Bulma got Trunks in her arms, the baby smiled, he was happy to see her-"aren´t you a cutie?"
Vegeta walked out of the room and went to the garden sure that the woman was following him with the kid.
-"So I presume you like my new look"- Bulma got closer to him. She was carrying the baby and pressing her nose to his back
-"You look ridiculous"- Vegeta told her, not believing one word
-"Really? Then I guess you will prefer to sleep in your own room for the next months, till the hair grows again"- She teased him.
-"There is no need for extreme measures"- Vegeta was not going to do such a thing
-"Come on, admit that you find me sexy"- Bulma asked him
-"Sometimes you are so vulgar, you forget the baby is here"- Vegeta said
-"As you are such a great father, there you go"- She placed Trunks on his father´s broad shoulders and moved a few steps behind them to see what happened. Trunks started to scream scared and grabbed with his little fists the rough skin of the face of the his father. Vegeta looked bewildered, he had no idea what he should do, he only wished the brat could stop shouting in his ear.
-"Fine, you look sexy, take him away, now!"- Vegeta shouted desperate
-"Only sexy?"- Bulma decided to enjoy the moment
-"You know I lust for you, take him away now, or do I need to be more vulgar than that?"- Vegeta pleaded
-"That is fine. Still, tonight, you will sleep in your room"- Bulma carried the crying baby inside
-"We´ll see"- Vegeta grinned.
