I have no excuses as to why this has taken as long as it has. I hope you forgive me and that you'll still enjoy this. I'm planning on wrapping this up in the next few chapters so if there's something you'd like to see happen let me know. Also don't hate me for not updating sooner.

Vegeta felt Bulma's anger through their bond and he knew immediately he was going to be feeling this for a while. It wasn't often that their bond was strong enough to completely break down their emotional barrier.

He focused on going hand to hand with his enemy used her anger as a source of power for him so it wasn't all bad. He felt her sorrow as well and knew her father hadn't made it.

Yamcha Jr. was going to pay for hurting his mate in this way. Vegeta tried, but failed, to keep his own temper in check.

The look on his enemy's face when he screamed in anger and went in for another punch straight to his non-metal side was one of fear.

Vegeta made it a point to land all his punches on the side that would actually hurt him.

"You've hurt my family for the last time! This time I'm just going to kill you. I would have tortured you first, but it didn't work with your father so why would it work with you?" Vegeta was egging him on and it was working.

"Don't speak of my father! What you did to him will never be forgiven!"

Had this been any other time Vegeta would have scoffed and made some smart assed remark, but he was far too into the battle and far too angry to make jokes. So, he roundhouse kicked him in the face instead.

The half metal Saiyan hit the ground with a huge thud and it formed a crater around him. Vegeta flew down to finish the job when there was a voice in his head.

"Don't you dare. He killed my dad, he's mine."

Vegeta growled slightly, but understood Bulma's feelings so he waited for her to fly up next to him. Her power is crackling around her and he feels her anger coming off of her and its tangible.

Vegeta could feel another power coming towards them and he didn't know if it was friend or foe so he flew to intercept it.

What he saw was a small black haired boy, the one who had hurt his Veala. He didn't stop to listen to what the young Saiyan was saying, he started throwing attacks at him.

"Dad!" Veala called to him and flew in between him and Zale.

"What are you doing!?"

"He's on our side! He's helping! Listen to him, please!" she sounded out of breath and like she was panicking.

"King Vegeta, don't let the Queen shoot him with an energy blast! He's made his metal half so that it absorbs the energy from those kinds of attacks. If she hits him with one while she's super he'll have enough power to completely wipe us all out. He still has the power from Trunks on reserve, waiting until someone shoots ki blasts at him." Zale was explaining with a hint of fear and complete terror in his voice.

"Bulma." He relayed the message through their bond. "Don't shoot him with a ki blast."

She was too busy hitting Yamcha Jr. in the face with her fist repeatedly to listen to him. Vegeta flew back to join her in case he needed to stop her. He felt his daughter fly off to fight again and the boy with her as well.

Trunks was still in pain even though the small machine was gone from his chest. He felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks and every time he shifted he groaned. He wasn't in so much pain that he would fall unconscious, but it was enough that he didn't want to be awake anymore.

Amy hadn't left his side, Goten was helping Veala beat off more of the soldiers, and he sensed his parents with the enemy. The other princes and princesses were still fighting. He opened his eyes and Amy smiled at him worriedly.

"Are you alright?" she whispered as she ran her fingers gently through his hair.

"I feel horrible, but I'm alive so…" he groaned again as he made himself sit up.

"You shouldn't sit up yet." Amy tried to force him back down but he stopped her.

"Yeah well I've never been very good at following instructions. Or doing what I'm told. Or knowing when to quit." He flashed her a mischievous smile and she knew that it would the smile that'd get them into a lot of trouble in the future. Her heart skipped a beat when he smiled at her like that.

"Let's go help everyone out." He says and stands up. Trunks takes a few moments to right himself and stretch out his now very sore everything before offering her his hand.

She lets him help her up, but is very weary of him going back into the battle.

"Trunks I think you should sit the rest of this out. I mean you're still injured and what if…" he stopped her with a soft kiss to her lips.

"I'll be fine. Now let's go." He offered her his hand again, this time an invitation to fight with him. Amy didn't hesitate to take it.

They flew over the battle, looking for where their help was needed. Trunks spotted a small group a little further away that seemed to be a good place to start so he grinned at Amy and they sped towards it.

When they arrived Trunks saw his uncle fighting at the head of the party.

"Let go help uncle Tarble out shall we? He looks like he needs a little assistance." Trunks flew straight into the nearest enemy and ripped a hole in his armor before shooting him through with a laser point ki blast.

"Need a hand?" Trunks grinned at him and his uncle blinked in surprise.

"Hello Trunks. Your energy levels are quite a bit lower than usual. What's happened?"

They fought the enemy as Trunks told the story.

Amy thought it was ridiculous that they could have a conversation like this while fighting to the death. This was why men didn't live as long as women. They did stupid things.

Tarble listened as Trunks told him what's happened. About being captured and about his power being sapped. About Veala and his plan. About Zale helping them. Why the boy trusted him he wasn't sure, but he seemed to and that was good.

"Oh dear…" he muttered and got a weird look in his eyes.

"The device that Goten got off of you… Where is it?" Tarble asked him.

Trunks shrugged and Amy got a confused look on her face.

"I think Goten just threw it aside and went back to fighting." She said

"I need to go warn Vegeta and Bulma." Tarble said suddenly and took off flying.

"Handle the rest of these guys will you Trunks? Thank you." He flew towards the castle hoping he wasn't too late.

"Hey!" Trunks slammed into another one and looked up to see his uncle disappearing towards the castle.

"That was weird." He said and Amy nodded her agreement. She shot an enemy across from Trunks and he grinned as they fought together. They were in sync more now than ever.

Goten was fighting alongside Veala and they were moving together and complimented each other's fighting styles. They'd always done well together, but it seemed they were even better now for whatever reason.

He felt a small pain start at his ankle and he wondered briefly if he'd been hit, but looking down he saw the little device that had been attached to Trunks slowly climbing up to find somewhere to attach to him.

"Woah!" he jumped up away from it and the device started crawling away again. So Goten did the only thing he could think of to get rid of it and shot a ki blast right at it.

"No!" Tarble's voice could be heard shouting from a little ways away.

Goten's blast had already hit its target and a ways away where Bulma and Vegeta were fighting Yamcha Jr. there was the sound of a crack and then loud laughter.

It was an eerie sort of laugh. Like one that sent shivers down your spine and you wanted to get away from it as soon as possible.

Tarble flew quickly up to where Vegeta and Bulma were being thrown away by a power surge. Vegeta smacked right into him, didn't give him another thought, and flew over to help Bulma stand up and steady her.

"What the hell was that?" Vegeta asked no one in particular. "He was not that strong before."

"Goten shot a device he'd made. Trunks had been hit with it before and it sapped his energy giving it to Yamcha. Goten thought he was destroying it, but it was built as an extension of Yamcha's power source and he just gave him more Super Saiyan power." Tarble said and looked up to where the villain was laughing

"He'd tested them on soldiers he felt would betray him back on that planet." He explained before they could ask.

Yamcha Jr. began shooting at the entire world below him. Destroying anything and everything in his path.

"I'm stronger than you both now! Two super Saiyan's powers fused in one body!"

Vegeta rushed at him, but was thrown back by the energy he was emitting. In frustration he shot a blast at the barrier, but it bounced back and hit somewhere on the ground below the castle.

"Damn it!" he cursed.

The laughing started again.

Bulma balled her hands into fists and glared at the man.

"He's destroying our home." She said quietly.

Vegeta growled and attempted to get past the barrier again. He kept hitting it, but nothing he was doing worked.

"Nothing you can do now Vegeta! I'm going to destroy this entire planet!" The laughing continued and became crazed. A madman. That's what he sounded like.

Bulma looked and saw her family giving their all to fight off the enemy and win the battle. She wasn't about to let their efforts be in vain. Her mother and father were both dead because of this man.

She powered up and joined Vegeta, hoping that maybe together they could beat it. The barrier shook but didn't budge. They were both extremely frustrated.

Tarble took a moment to think.

"I think I know how to beat him." He said quietly.

"Tarble if you're just going to stand there and not help us I suggest you get lost!" Vegeta's voice was cold and angry.

"Vegeta I think I know how to beat him!" he says louder.

"By all means attempt it!" the king growled at him.

Tarble took this invitation to heart and took off towards his niece.

"Veala! Goten!" he called out to them

They looked up to him, both breathing heavily.

"Tarble?" Goten asked, slightly out of breath and slightly confused.

"You need to get up to where the king and queen are! I need to go get Trunks and Amy. We're going to beat this bastard once and for all!"

They looked at each other and then nodded.

"I'll get Trunks up there. Hang on a minute." Veala said and then took a deep breath and spoke through their bond.

"Trunks. Grab your girlfriend and meet us up by mom and dad. Uncle Tarble has an idea."

"Kind of busy here Vey." He replied moments later

"Well hurry up and get your asses up here! If you hadn't noticed the entire place is going up in flames."

"Touché. We'll be right there."

She nodded to Tarble and Goten.

"They'll be up here soon."

"Goten, where is that device you shot at earlier?" Tarble asked him and Goten pointed over to it.

Tarble went over quickly and very carefully picked it up, being good not to touch the power sucking part of it.

"Let's go." He said and the two younger Saiyans followed after him.

As they arrived Vegeta was being thrown away by the barrier again and cursing in a way that made everyone who heard cringe slightly and want to hide.

"Tarble what's this idea of yours?" Bulma asked in a frustrated voice.

"We're going to overpower his body." He explained as he set the small device down and waited impatiently for Trunks to arrive.

A few moments later Trunks and Amy flew up and landed next to Veala and Goten.

"Explain." Vegeta was scowling at him.

"This is the device that gives his body power…you see if we all hit it at the same time with energy it'll be too much for him to handle. It might cause quite an explosion, but I think if we all give it 100% then it should stop him. He won't be able to handle it all."

They all looked at each other as if thinking it over. As they did there was a blast close to them and they all jumped out of the way.

"We don't have anything else to lose!" Veala said and put her hand out. "I'm in!"

Goten followed her lead and put his hand in. Amy nodded and put her hand in as well.

"She's right." Trunks shrugged and put his hand on top of Amy's.

Vegeta looked to Bulma who nodded.

"Alright. But if this doesn't work…"

"We'll already be dead big brother. No use threatening me this time." Tarble says and puts the device in the middle of them all.

"On the count of three everyone focus all your energy onto that spot. Everyone ready?"

They all nod and brace themselves.

"One…two…three!" he says and they all shoot their energy beams.

There's a bright white light and it's all very confusing. They all keep the flow of energy going and hear a strangled cry above them.

Yamcha Jr. is glowing white and the metal side looks to be glowing red like it's too hot.

"Keep going!" Tarble shouts over the noise of the battle and the energy and the screaming.

"No! This can't be happening. I was supposed to win!" his voice held hatred and fury and pain.

The white light grew hotter and brighter and the screams got louder until there was a strange pop.

There was no more screaming, the energy slowly died down, and the white color faded from around everyone.

There was a moment where nothing could be heard. Silence.

And then everyone collapsed.
