Okay in this chapter I bring up religion. I decided to make the Sayian's polytheistic (more than one god), it just made scene. As I originally wrote this around Christmas I wanted to try and come up with a Sayian version of Christmas. None of this is intended to offend anyone or make fun of any religion in particular. I just thought it might be fun. Hope you enjoy.
Everyone had settled in for dinner and were helping themselves to food, when Bardock stood and left the room. He returned quickly holding a length of rope and walked over to stand behind Goku. Bardock smirked as he grabbed his son's shoulders and pulled him back against the chair before looping the rope around him a few times, securely tying him to the chair. "There maybe now you can learn to eat properly, and the rest of us can eat without feeling sick." Goku struggled a little against the rope before giving up and trying to reach his food. Trunks laughed at his friends father before turning to his brother, "Geta, who's the third person with the same name and why are there three of you with the same name?"
"Myself, our father and our grandfather all share the same name. As for why we share the name, I don't think the dinner table is the proper place to discuss religion. Maybe after dinner." Bulma turned to Vegeta, "Did he just say your name has to do with religion?"
"He did, he also said that the table is no place to discuss such things woman."
After dinner they retired to the sitting room. Kaida paused outside the door talking to a servant. I wonder what she's up to Bulma thought. She let everyone get settled before asking Vegeta about Geta's comment at dinner. "Now can someone explain what Geta meant at dinner?" The two princes rubbed their foreheads, shaking their heads before getting up and leaving the room. The remaining three Saiyans sighed and began playing rock paper scissors to see who got stuck answering Bulma's question.
"Fuck!" Kaida exclaimed when she lost, "Come on how 'bout two out of three?" Raditz laughed, "No way you lost so you get to talk religion to these earthlings. Have fun." Kaida growled at her uncle then punched him in the arm. "You guys suck you know that...Fine." She sat down in a chair by the fire. "Alright I will explain, but you cannot ask any more questions until I am finished got it." She waited for the others to agree before continuing.
"There are a number of different Gods, so I'm just going to mention the really important ones. There is Honos the god of honor and justice. Virtus is the god of bravery and military strength, Min is the god in charge of fertility and reproduction. Wepwawet, is the god of death then there is the god Vita who is the god of war, victory, power and protector of the Saiyan race and then there is The Goddess. She is the one who created the Saiyans and works with Vita to protect us, both on and off the battlefield. Her original name is only known to her Priests and members of the royal family." She paused for a moment to make sure they all understood.
"What about this festival that Bardock mentioned yesterday?" Bulma asked.
"In order to answer that I have to give you a little history lesson as well. Over a thousand years ago the Saiyans lived on another planet. This planet was dominated by a race of warriors that was larger and fiercer than the Saiyans. The two races fought often and it was the other race that most often won these fights. It did not look good for our people. Now is where mythology joins history. One day The Goddess decided to take the form of a Saiyan and take a walk on the planet and she ran into the chief of the Saiyans. They talked for a while and they spared and they both felt the bond. She decided to stay in that form and mate with the chief. Not too long afterwards she gave him a son. When their son was 7 his father fell in battle. He became the next chief with his mother acting on his behalf. He trained hard as he wanted to take revenge for his father's death. When he came of age he mated and produced children, as was expected of him. The wars continued, each year worse than the last, until the chief, at the age of 32, fought against the enemy and came very close to being defeated. However when things looked bleak the full moon rose and allowed the chief to transform into his Oozaru form. Sometime in his battle the chief transformed again this time into a super Saiyan, it was said that he could only hold his power in his Oozaru state. His power was too much for him to control and eventually it destroyed both him and the planet. The Goddess realized what was happening and used her powers to transport the Saiyans to another planet, thus reveling her identity. Her grandson took over as chief and changed his title to that of king. He also decided to change his name and took the masculine form of The Goddess' name."
"What name did he take?" Goten asked. Kaida sighed as she looked at the others. "He became King Vegeta I. It is thought that because they are descended from The Goddess herself that the royals hold the potential to become super Saiyans. This is also the reason that only those who are descended from The Goddess and the Chief are allowed to be king and must show this by having the name Vegeta."
"Wait hold on a second, are you telling me that the kings are all descended from a god?" Bulma asked no wonder Vegeta and Geta didn't want to tell us themselves. Kaida nodded. "Now as for the festival it is an annual celebration that commemorates the birth of The Goddess' son and his ascension to the legendary super Saiyan, which happened on the same day. The festival is twelve days long and includes the birth of The Goddess' son, the beginning of the New Year and the arrival of the Saiyans on the new planet."
/"Mistress?"/ Everyone turned to stare at Ebio who stood in the doorway holding a stack of papers. "Here are the documents you wanted; I hope they are all there." Kaida took the papers from Ebio, "Thank you I'm sure it's all in order." Poking her head out the door she yelled down the hall, /"Come on you two; get your buts in here."/ Returning to her seat she was followed by both princes who went and stood by the window. "While looking for other documents in the archives I came across these, which proved to be very interesting. In here are documents which give credence to the mythology I just told you. In the documents it gives details of the wars that were fought on the other planet and of the sudden moving of the Saiyans from that planet to this one. It also says that King Vegeta I...had a younger sister, Chocolat. She was weaker than her brother, despite being part god, ranking in the First class, so there was no objection when she mated with a second class warrior. The council has kept track of Chocolat's decedents, but hasn't done a very good job of keeping that particular family tree hidden." She held up a piece of paper and handed it to Vegeta who looked over it. When he came to the bottom of the page his eyes widened and he chuckled. "Fucking hell. This explains a lot." Looking over his father's shoulder Geta laughed as well.
"Care to explain to the rest of us?" Bardock said clearly annoyed. "Well Grandpa, at the bottom of the page are the names of the last known descents of Chocolat. The father and his two sons, however, this needs to be updated as the second son has three children of his own, two sons and a daughter." While the others looked confused and tried to figure it out Gohan looked at his twin, "are you serious?" she nodded. "That's kinda cool."
"It is and it explains how we can turn into super Saiyans."
"Care to explain it to those of us who are not as smart as the two of you?" Raditz asked.
"You're no fun...fine. The last three names on the paper are Bardock, Raditz and Kakarot. Our family is descended from Chocolat and through her to The Goddess."
"So does that mean we're related?" Goku asked pointing to Vegeta.
"The closest we are to being related was over ten generations ago, so no I would not consider us related." Vegeta answered.
"Thank the gods for that"/ Geta said nudging Kaida in the ribs. She laughed as she pushed his arm away.
The Gods that are listed here are actual gods, except the last two. Honos is the Roman God of chivalry, honor, and military justice. Virtus is the Roman God of god of bravery and military strength. Min is the Ancient Egyptian god of fertility, reproduction, and lettuce (I had to use him because of the lettuce thing) and Wepwawet is the Ancient Egyptian wolf-god of war and death that later became associated with Anubis and the afterlife. Vita is war in Swahili according to Google Translate. I just made up The Goddess.
Let me know what you think.
