-Time Skip; Festival Preparations-
Vegetasei was livelier than ever before, the towns were being evacuated by the top ranking elites of the Saiyan army, adults checked with the elites and left their kids to be transported to the academy where they would be looked after by some of the aliens that came to serve the Saiyans. The Saiyans were very systematic about this. Mated couples went first since they didn't have to worry about fights breaking out over a submissive or a dominant.
Next where the single Saiyans, kept in different base camps until after the finale of the festival. Then they were free to pick and choose their mate. Guards were to make rounds regularly to avoid rape among the hormone drunken masses, though it was impossible to tell until after mating season and by then it's too late.
The northern valley was the place where Brolly had been conceived and because he was a God among men, they mate the valley their mating grounds in hope that they too would produce strong heirs and one day gain status like Brolly had. Every night the temples and shrines were packed with Saiyans praying to Brolly and the moons hoping to be blessed with strong children or a loving mate, such trivial things that most would never guess they asked for since they were such battle hardened fighters.
It was like this from the Denzai mountains to the Gendon valley to the Vesian desert. Even at the royal palace. Those who were passe their primed to bare children or to be swayed by the moon would keep Vegeta running while almost 95% of the population was getting frisky.
Off worlders all milled about doing some last minute eye candy viewing before either retiring after the festival or joining in on the after party activities. Frieza was one of the one wanting in on the fun, but it was looking pretty shaky since almost every day for the last month and a half, Vegeta had been out on dates with Gohan, he had finally learned the boy's name, having spied on a few maids that were preparing the princess's bridal chambers.
He hadn't been to pleased to hear that Gohan had accepted Vegeta's proposal to mating and marriage. Now one would thing that the wedding should before mating season, which it normally is, but there are some cases where it's after mating season. This occurs because sometimes one finds their mate close to that time and couldn't very well get it done all with in a few short weeks, it was too stressful an normally ended in disaster or unhappy newlyweds.
He was going to have to resort to low tactics and underhanded tricks, but if got him that sweet smelling virgin then all would be good. He didn't mind if they weren't virgins, it just made training them a lot easier, but this one he wanted pure so he could break him and relish every scream he tore from his throat. He wanted to paint that white skin in red, black and blue, leave his mark on him...
Had startled himself with that last thought and then realized why he wanted the boy so much, sure others smelt pretty and good, but this was the first time in heaven knows how long that he ever wanted to mate with someone, to take a mate to sire children! He at first thought he had gone made, but his brother assured him that it was only logical since he's never settled down or thought about it, not to mention had anyone catch his attention so completely. Yes, tonight would surely prove him the victor.
-Throne room-
"The grounds have been prepared, food and drink stalls are all open and ready to go, musicians from all over are here as well as various forms of entertainment. We also set up the watch towers and the patrol units and routes. The doctors are set up at each tower to provide enzymes for the soldiers on duty as well as check on anyone who needs the attention. We also have a grave yard unit to collect anyone unfortunate to die." Said a low ranking captain.
"Thank you, Burtus. The stage area, who is that coming?"
"That's been set up, right now they are testing out the supports to make sure it can handle tonight as well as the private box for you and the King as well as the prince and the princess." Burtus said flipping through the small stack of papers. "so far no reports of kidnappings or rape, we'll keep our eyes open as best we can. We won't let THAT happen ever again. I'm sorry it had to happen to your son before the higher ups finally changed the set up system."
Burdock nodded, Burtus had been the man to tell him Kakarot left the planet, having tried to stop him, but backed off seeing the boy's stomach, it had a bump in it, plump from prime semen that was slowly absorbed into the body and fertilize the eggs made him back off and not approach the frantic mother to be.
"Good. The only thing left now is to make sure that a certain prince hasn't busted out of the dungeons yet..." Burdock grumbled as he walked off, Burtus blinked once, twice, three times before he laughed and walked out the room to finish with other preparations that need to be done.
-Tower Dungeon-
Vegeta was not a happy man right now, ohhh no he was not happy at all. He paced the length of the room, which was pretty big for a cell. In fact this was the cell they used to hold royal or high ranking war prisoners in so it was pretty lavish since they didn't want them getting sick and dying. He had gotten up this morning, intent on going to see Gohan, but before he could even sit up in his bed, he had half a dozen Saiyans close to Nappa's size dog pile on him and then drag him off screaming and yelling to the tower.
Ohh he was so going to kill his father for this, he would be the only one to order such an attack on his own son! But then again, Burdock turned the tables on the King who was in the tower across the way from him and judging by the screams coming from Vegeto, he was not pleased with being locked up in his own castle.
He spun when the door opened and said admiral walked into the room, smiling at him.
"Yo, kiddo." He said and leaned on the closed door, arms crossed.
"You're looking more feminine today." Vegeta said, noting the more noticeable curve in the man's waist before looking at his tail that had a glossy sheen to it.
"Genetic quirk... If you thought Gohan was beautiful before, wait til you see him tonight... but I wanted to talk to you about that." Burdock said, jokingly at first before he got serious and made a gesture for the prince to sit down.
Vegeta took a seat on the bed, figuring that if he needed to throw a fit at least the bed would be destroyed and nothing else. Burdock sighed as he carefully sat on the floor, his normally build form was nearly lithe and amazingly slender, the body of a submissive and the Iompróir was a fascinating mystery. The body was preparing itself for sex and for child birth, though he felt sadden that Burdock wouldn't get that joy since he was barren. He was taken from his thoughts when Burdock rested his angular face on his knee and looked him sharply in the eyes.
"How much do you love my grandson?" He asked.
"I'd no sooner rip of my own tail jump into the deepest pits of hell for him" Vegeta said, his chest swelling with pride at his declaration, not a moment of pause or hesitation. He was sure of his choice from the moment he saw him, from the moment he saw those pleading eyes.
"Heh, chauvinist... just like Vegeto." Burdock laughed. "Well since you're so sure of yourself, I hope you can prove it to me. As you know Gohan is an Iompróir."
"Yes, I knew that from his scent alone. Let alone when I saw his tail, the Iompróirí's tail is longer than the average submissive and female Saiyan."
"Hn. Well Gohan's not you normal Iompróir..." He stopped not sure how to say this, but seeing no other way he continued, "Gohan's the Brídeach an Gealach Dearg."
Vegeta felt everything stop, he was froze as the words echoed in his mind and deep in his gut.
The Brídeach an Gealach Dearg! You've don't it boy! A prime mate, a very prime mate!
'The Brídeach an Gealach Dearg? But it's been three thousand years... why now?'
Who cares, boy! You have a prime mate! You made a good selection back when we thought he was just a simple third class, but look he's a Super Saiyan and he the Brídeach an Gealach Dearg! What more could you possibly want! Brolly must have seen it fit that he bare the next god! You're offspring will be gods!
'Who cares about the damned gods! I'm worried about Gohan! Many males have shown interest in him, especially Frieza! If any of them find out not only will it be an all out civil war, we'll be pulling into an intergalactic one as well and with everyone preparing for mating season, we'll be wiped out and Gohan may die as well! If not from being killed then the stress levels! You've seen it yourself, he's delicate, fragile! I won't endanger my mate!'
"Vegeta?" He snapped from his internal war with Oozuru to Burdock, who was looking rather worried at the silent prince.
"You have to let me out now." Vegeta said standing. "If anyone catches wind of this, Gohan's in danger as is the rest of Vegetasei. We can't handle a civil war as well as an intergalactic one."
Burdock gave a dry laugh as he stood up, wincing as he felt the first few pangs of heat hit.
"You know we can't allow that. You are not to see Gohan until tonight at the festival. It's like a wedding, it's terrible luck to see the bride before the ceremony..." Burdock said. "But if it helps you relax, Kakarot's gone SS three times in the last five hours and scared off any bone heads trying to sneak into Gohan's room."
Vegeta snickered even if he was a bit peeved, but at least Kakarot was proving to be one hell of a mother. Scaring off everyone he deemed unworthy of his child. Seeing that he made the prince smile, Burdock bowed and left. Making sure the guards locked the door tightly before he left...
-Son's House-
Gohan stood in the kitchen with Kakarot and Radditzu, Toma sitting in his high chair picking beans like Gohan had showed him while the three males were busy cooking and washing the dishes. Gohan sighed as Kakarot twitched in annoyance.
"Really? This is getting out of hand..." Kakarot growled slamming his hands on the counter and then storming outside to tell the guards that Vegeto sent them to find out who was coming now before heading back in and going back to cleaning the dishes. "Really looking to die today, aren't they?"
"Honestly Kaka, how do you do that?" Ditzu asked.
"It's like flying, you just... feel it." Kakarot said, not sure how to answer.
Gohan smiled as he turned from the pot of boiling water to walk over to Toma. Toma smiled as he held the bowl of beans up to his cousin, he had picked them all one by one to make sure none where cracked, broken or the wrong color before putting them in the bowl. Gohan smiled and took it, kissing Toma's cheek as the baby went back to his task of finding all the good beans for his mommy, auntie an cousin.
"I think Vegeta has some competition, eh, Ditzu?" Kakarot laughed as he saw how determined Toma got.
"Oh boy that's gonna be funny... Hmm?" Ditzu set the last plate he dried off in the cupboard before he picked up his scouter and pressed the communications button. "Captain Radditzu."
He walked off to talk to the men reporting in as Kakarot turned off the sink and tended to the food while Gohan finished helping Toma pick the beans out. Within the next few hours they had everything done. And just in time too since Cornelius cam back from the docks with a woman behind him.
"Kakarot, I got her."
"Chi-Chi!" Kakarot embraced his wife and laughed as she stared at him in shock.
"Goku, what happened! You're so- Gohan!"
"It's okay, it's how our bodies prepare for mating season. Thanks for coming. I needed someone to stay here and keep an eye on Toma for us as well as have you here for Gohan's wedding too."
"EH! Bulma will kill you for not telling her!" Chi-Chi cried shaking the man as he laughed and let her do it.
"Calm down, Chi. I told her about the ceremony, she said that she would be coming in a few days since she was busy with some last minute things at CC." Kakarot assured her as she sighed and let him go before she hugged Gohan to her.
"Your father's a moron." She mocked sobbed making Cornelius squawk indignantly.
"Uh, Chi, I'm Gohan's mother." Kakarot reminded her and she blushed as she began apologizing to Cornelius, who was sulking in a corner.
"Hormones..." Radditzu sighed as he picked up Toma and went to change his pampers before he introduced him to his nanny for the next few days.
Burdock came in then, looking rather frazzled as he leaned on the door.
"Rough flight?"
"Yep, couple of the smart ones tried to catch me, but I shot them down as best I could..." He opened the door and two Saiyans ran in before he slammed it shut behind them.
"Cayenne!"
"Hiya!" Cayenne said, smiling brightly as he hugged his friend.
"Hey, Gohan." Said Devon.
Devon was a tanned male with dark brown hair and light brown eyes. He was tall and built, almost bulky, but still fit. He wrapped his tail with Cayenne's and had his arm resting on his shoulders, smiling contently at him.
"Hi Devon. You guys look excited."
"Yep. Devon's not to happy though." Cayenne laughed at the scowl that came to his fiancé's face.
"I only came to make sure he got here safely. I have to get back home before my big sister comes and drags me back. I'll see you at the Festival." Devon said before he pecked Cayenne's neck and left, taking off into the air to get home faster.
Gohan smiled and introduced his friend to his human mother, Chi-Chi just squealed and hugged the redhead as she commented on how cute he looked. Cayenne squeaked and looked at Gohan for help. Gohan sighed as he put on a wounded puppy look and his mother jumped on him, cuddling him saying how she loved him most while Kakarot just shook his head.
"Chi, let them go... Ditzu this is Chi-Chi. Chi, this is my brother, Radditzu."
"Just call me Ditzu, it's easier to pronounce... This little guy right here it my son Toma. Toma meet auntie Chi-Chi." Ditzu said to his baby as the boy looked at the woman in front of him.
He glared her for a while, not sure if he should trust her, but then he saw Gohan lean into her smiling as she hugged him and cooed over him. He instantly made grabbing motions to the woman and she took him with out a thought, carefully curling his tail over her arm and stroking the baby soft hair on it as he purred in contentment not realizing that he was getting sleepy until he was curled into her chest and sucking happily on his thumb.
Gohan snickered as he moved away from Chi-Chi and Toma as Kakarot mouthed 'you're evil' at Gohan who just smiled and flicked his tail like the cat who ate the canary. Cornelius just laughed as did everyone else. Cayenne giggled as he followed Gohan up to his room where the two were going to be held captive until later...
-Festival-
"Will you hurry up!" Nappa demanded, holding Toma in one arm and trying to keep him from pulling on his mustache.
Radditzu walked down stairs in the original clothes submissives, females and Iompróirí. It started from just below the collar bone and clung tightly to his body, it was backless so the tail could hang out as well makes it easier to slip out of. The skirt was long and had one slight on the left for mate Saiyans a slight on the right for ones that have yet to mate. Radditzu had even pulled his hair into a braid.
"Calm your horses, Nappa!" He snarled at him, grabbing a set of shoes off the floor and heading back up, smirking when Nappa's eyes locked onto his exposed back. "You may want to tame your beast, your furs gonna fall off."
Nappa looked down and felt his face flush as he tried to cool his libido down and tried to adjust the black fur pelt that he wore like a Scotsman's kilt. Cornelius shook his head at the bigger male's idiocy as he finished pinning his own fur around his waist and wrapping the part that didn't fit over his right shoulder.
"Don't forget Nappa, Gohan's Vegeta's mate to be. He has to look the best."
"I fail to see why... the gown's just going to get ripped to shreds." Nappa told him, settling Toma into the wrap of his furs smirking when the baby cuddled into the warm fur.
"I know, but with those court members looking for the slightest imperfection to deny the mating as well as the marriage Gohan has a lot on his shoulders." He said looking up at the stairs as Radditzu came back down and pulled Toma out of his father's wrap and hugged him tightly wanting to hold him as much as he could before his body craved for Nappa.
"I know. It's just I've always hated that." Nappa said recalling his three older sisters going through the same thing before the were mated.
Burdock came down, his hair had been left down framing his face as his gown swept the floor softly. It was the same as Ditzu's, but a bit fancier since he's the King's second mate and tonight they were making the mating public knowledge, hopefully to shut up the court members who are against Vegeta's and Gohan's mating.
"They should be down. Gohan's a bit nervous." Burdock said, sighing a bit as he heard Chi-Chi and Kakarot trying to coax him down saying he looked fine, but as always the boy was too shy and too modest for his own health.
Cayenne came down smiling as his hair was let out for once the unique red color looked brighter as his dark gray eyes shone with giddiness. Kakarot appeared next with Chi-Chi, who wore a robe that she called a kimono, and both tugged Gohan down the stairs. The 18 year old was bright red as he stood before his father and uncle, waiting for approval.
Nappa was stunned in to silence as was Cornelius. Gohan's gown was a deep royal purple, making his pale skin positively glow. The collar, cuffs and hemming were all a bright gold and diamond design as the slight on the right had laces to tie it shut, no one was allowed to see Gohan's legs nor his back or tail. His hair, which he was forced to grow out fell to his shoulders as a simple ivory band sat on hi head, representing both his purity and his status as the future princess. He spun when Chi-Chi told him to to show the back of the dress and his groomed tail and then back around so she could put the cape he was to where at all times, it was a few shades lighter than the dress and had the same hemming as his gown.
"Well?" Kakarot asked, looking at his mate with a look that said 'complement him or you can use your left hand tonight.'
Cornelius snapped out of his daze and wrapped his arm over Kakarot's waist, nuzzling his neck as he laughed a little.
"You son looks so much like you it's almost frightening. I'm pretty sure that Prince Vegeta will have a hard time keeping both his eyes an hands off of him."
Gohan blushed deeper, about to run back up to his room, if Chi-Chi and Cayenne didn't catch hold of him an calm him down, telling him he was fine.
"Well let's not forget that everyone single will try and get the Prince to fall in lust with them so they can be the next queen." Nappa said, knowing that Gohan had a bit of a jealous streak.
And like that the boy went stiff and turned, the blush gone allowing them to see the the light gloss on his lips, with his natural beauty they thought he didn't need to put on any extra makeup. He squared his shoulders and he glared at his uncle that made him shiver as he said.
"That was really low... But thank you." Gohan said, giving a polite curtsy.
Burdock just laughed as he picked up one of the five huge baskets of food they had made much earlier that day.
"Alright enough teasing, lets get going before Vegeto and Vegeta come breaking down the door." Burdock said.
Everyone nodded as Nappa and Cornelius picked up the other four baskets and they headed out. The guard unit formed ranks, some stunned at how beautiful Gohan looked in the natural blue light of the Saiyan Moons. All three were glowing brightly tonight though only the second one would reach it's zenith, and at that moment it would be mating season...
