Earth's Ambassador Is...

Komamura: "But Vegeta... I thought you said that your race was all but gone except for you, Goku and your two brothers?"

Vegeta: "They were but apparently, during the battle with Frieza on Namek, a wish was made on our dragon balls to bring all of those killed by Frieza back to life. That wish must have extended further then expected."

Goku: "It's the only explanation I can think off. And the Eternal Dragon has the power to bring hundreds, even thousands, of people back at once."

Kurotsuchi: "Hold on! If the saiyan race is back, then why haven't they tried to locate their prince yet?"

Vegeta: "Oh I don't know, maybe because they might think that I'm dead! For someone like you who is the chief of the Department of Research and Development, Mayuri, you're not that bright are you?"

Kurotsuchi: "WHAT DID YOU SAY, SAIYAN!"

Vegeta: "YOU HEARD ME, FREAK SHOW!"

Toushiro just rolled his eyes with a groan. Vegeta and Kurotsuchi getting into a verbal argument was nothing new. In fact it happened almost every time there was a captain's meeting.

Zaraki: "Here we go again."

Kurotsuchi: "AT LEAST I DON'T CHARGE INTO A BATTLE WITHOUT RESEARCHING WHAT I'M GETTING INTO!"

Vegeta: "That's because I have something a hundred times better than your research, it's called my GUT INSTINCT! AND DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FIGHT! I'VE PROBABLY GOT MORE FIGHTS UNDER MY BELT THAN YOU DO!"

Kurotsuchi: "WHY YOU LITTLE-"

Yamamoto: "ENOUGH!"

Kurotsuchi and Vegeta stopped their arguing on the spot, much to everyones relief.

Soifon: "Finally!"

Zaraki: "You two finished?"

Once the room went silent, Yamamoto continued.

Yamamoto: "As I was saying... The King of The Saiyans has sent an announcement to all corners of the galaxy, including earth. He wants at least one person from each planet to represent their planet. The purpose of this is to discuss and negotiate planetary alliances and galactic peace."

Vegeta: "The old man said that?"

Kurotsuchi: "It's amazing at how much disrespect you have towards the saiyan king!"

Vegeta: "And it's amazing at how quickly you forget things! Hello! I'm 'The Prince of All Saiyans'!"

Kurotsuchi: "So?"

Vegeta: "Oh my god... ... Do I need to explain how a royal family works? That king that I just 'disrespected' is my FATHER! Father, pops, dad, pa, papa, my old man, any of these ring a bell?"

Kurotsuchi opened his mouth and was about to speak back at Vegeta when he got a dirty look from the rest of the captains and he kept quiet. With Kurotsuchi quiet now, Yamamoto turned his attention at Vegeta.

Yamamoto: "You are surprised at this announcement?"

Vegeta: "More than surprised. Up until now, 'peace' has never been in my fathers vocabulary... ... Surprised he even knows what it means ha!"

Yamamoto: "Regardless, the Z-Fighters have given the choice of who to send to us. One of us must go to Planet Vegeta and represent earth."

Ukitake: "Why would you not want to go, Goku? This seems to be something that you'd want to do."

Goku: "Ask him."

Goku just pointed to Vegeta. He knew that his saiyan friend could explain it better than he could.

Vegeta: "If it wasn't for the fact that it's the saiyan race that has called this meeting, Kakarot would have gone. Think about it... A low-ranking saiyan staying in the royal palace to represent earth in a galactic peace meeting? It's basically the same thing as saying 'I want to commit suicide!'."

And Goku nodded.

Goku: "There ya go!"

Byakuya: "He's got a point."

Yamamoto: "That is why I have chosen the best candidate for this mission... Toushiro Hitsugaya."

That announcement really got everyones attention! Even Toushiro was a little shocked!

Komamura: "Captain Hitsugaya? Why him, sir? Why not Captain Kuchiki or another person familiar with nobility?"

Yamamoto: "I admit, the thought did cross my mind. But out of all of us, Captain Hitsugaya has the most experience in dealing with saiyans and the fact that he is not influenced by nobility or any other special status means that he won't be distracted by honor or pride."

Yamamoto cast a look at Byakuya when he said that. The Squad 6 captain just looked away unamused and Yamamoto turned his attention to his chosen ambassador.

Yamamoto: "Captain Hitsugaya... This is an important and dangerous mission, by far the most important I've ever given you. Can I trust you with this mission?"

Toushiro: "I'll do my best, sir."

Yamamoto: "Good. There is one other thing I wish for you to do while you are there. As you know the war with Sosuke Aizen is approaching. Even with the Z-Fighters and the Substitute Soul Reaper's help, I fear it may not be enough. That is why I want you to see if the saiyans or any other race will assist us in the war. I know it won't be easy so if you fail with that, then I understand."

Toushiro: "I'll see what I can do, Head-Captain."

Yamamoto: "Good, now-"

Vegeta: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone seemed shocked that Vegeta would just interrupt the Head-Captain like that.

Yamamoto: "What is it now?"

Vegeta: "While I approve of the idea of trying to get other planets to aid us in the war against Aizen, I DO NOT approve of sending Toushiro there alone. I know what kind of ambassadors are likely to show up and let me tell you something... Aizen doesn't hold a kindle to the power these guys wield."

Everyone just looked at Vegeta, wondering if he was serious. Goku recognized the looks on their faces.

Goku: "I don't have as much space travel under my belt as Vegeta here, but from what little traveling I have done... I have to agree with him."

Toushiro: "That and all of those bad guys that keep coming to earth like Cooler, Bojack and his goons and Hirudegarn."

Goku looked at the young captain with a weird look for a moment before glancing at Vegeta.

Goku: "Been telling him stories again, huh."

Vegeta: "He has that effect on me."

Kyoraku: "But didn't you just say that your father's never held an ambassador meeting before?"

Vegeta: "I said he's never held one to discuss peace and alliances before. I still vividly remember all of the times when ambassadors came and believe me, they are not the kind you want to insult because it will be the last thing you ever do. There is also the fact of the saiyans themselves. You think I'm temperamental? HA! I am a saint compared to most of the other saiyans!"

Goku: "He is!"

Vegeta: "And I've seen saiyans kill each other just for looking at them funny!"

Goku: "Uh-ho! That just reminds me of that one saiyan! You remember HIM, don't you Vegeta!"

Vegeta: "Good god, how could I not!"

For a minute, Toushiro thought they were talking about Coge.

Goku: "A few years ago, close to our battle with Cell, we fought another pure-blood saiyan named Broly and boy was he a mean one! He hated me like no other person before! All because I cried all the time as a baby from what I was told!"

Vegeta: "Kakarot and Broly were born on the same day and they were placed next to each other where Kakarot kept him up from his 24/7 crying, and me too."

Goku: "I kept you up, Vegeta?"

Vegeta: "I'm five years older than you if you don't count all of the years you've been dead and such. I could hear you almost everywhere!"

Goku: "Did ya ever come to see me?"

Vegeta: "To find out what was making all that racket, yes I did. Who do you think sent your brother to come get you in the first place?"

Goku: "Huh... That explains a lot."

Vegeta: "Honestly... Anyway! What made Broly dangerous was that he was born with a power level of 10'000 at birth which made him the Legendary Super Saiyan."

Goku: "And boy did he fit the bill! He was, by far, the toughest opponent we've ever faced! And when I say tough, I mean tough!"

Vegeta: "Took us three tries to finally kill him for good!"

Hearing all of that sent a chill down Toushiro's spine. It also made Yamamoto rethink his idea.

Yamamoto: "What do you purpose, Vegeta?"

Vegeta: "Let me go along with Toushiro as his bodyguard."

Goku: "But you told me that you didn't want to go, Vegeta."

Vegeta: "I can change my mind, can't I?"

Goku: "I never said you couldn't!"

Vegeta just rolled his eyes with a groan. Sometimes Goku was painfully innocent and carefree. Toushiro couldn't help but smile at these two friends. Something interesting or amusing always happened when they were around each other.

Vegeta: "I've seen many other ambassadors bring bodyguards before and with me as his bodyguard, I can almost guarantee that no one will want to lay a hand on Toushiro. And since I'm the Prince of All Saiyans, my presence just might be the leverage Toushiro will need to help achieve your plan, Yamamoto."

Yamamoto thought long and hard about the idea, and he approved.

Yamamoto: "Very well. Captain Hitsugaya and Second Lieutenant Vegeta will leave tomorrow morning. For the rest of the day, they are excused from all activities and duties as they prepare to leave."

Toushiro: "Thank you sir. But what about my squad?"

Yamamoto: "I will personally take care of your squad while you are gone."

Toushiro: "Thank you, Head-Captain."

Yamamoto: "And as for you, Second Lieutenant Vegeta... I am entrusting Hitsugaya's well-being to you. If you return without him, you WILL be punished!"

Vegeta: "Like that's nothing new. Don't worry about him. If anyone lays a hand on in the wrong way, I'll brake every bone in their hand... If they're lucky."

Yamamoto: "That is all. Dismissed!"

The meeting was dismissed. The chosen Ambassador for Earth was... Toushiro Hitsugaya.
