Previously on Part 11: Thorah is now part of the crew and they are heading to Planet Argon to train along with Vegeta and his crew. Raditz has become Vegeta's second servant and Bardock is not yet informed of his revival.

Part 12

Kageto and his crew appeared in front of Vegeta. Raditz was standing next to Vegeta and was obviously bored.

"I'm back, brother," Kageto announced.

"Well, if it isn't the King," Bardock said, "Are you still the same as you were before?"

"Don't tempt me, whoever you are," Vegeta responded, "I am capable of much more than you think."

"Hmph."

Bardock's eyes wandered and focused on Raditz. Raditz' eyes too focused on Bardock.

"Raditz?!" Bardock said, "You're alive?"

"Well, I'll be damned," Raditz replied and turned to Kageto, "If you don't kill me, you send my father. I thought you were dead."

"I know YOU were dead, you good for nothing excuse for a Saiyan. SOMEONE has to explain to me WHY this bastard is alive."

"Oh," Kageto answered, "I just thought Vegeta would be better off with another servant under his command."

"You revived me to serve the King?" Raditz asked.

"Yes, and to meet your father, of course."

"I don't want anything to do with this troublesome child. You do not deserve to be my son," Bardock said angrily.

"Oh, I don't want to be your son. To be stuck with you is punishment enough. I'd rather be in Hell right now."

"Alright, stop it, you two," Kageto interrupted, "I didn't revive you to clash with your father. I revived you because we may need you in the future. You are to train with my brother and become stronger. You dare to betray any of us in a few seconds you'll be back in Hell. Do you understand?"

"Who are YOU to tell be what to do?" Raditz replied stubbornly, "I have gotten stronger in Hell. I can kill every single one of you."

Raditz wasn't even finished producing his last word when Kageto appeared behind him and kicked him in the back. He crashed face-down to the ground.

"The only way you'll ever be stronger than me is if you dream it," Kageto said angrily.

"Whoa, I've never seen you THIS angry before, Kageto," Fasha said.

"I have," Vegeta replied.

Raditz was having difficulty standing up. That's why he decided to stay down.

"Remember, Raditz," Vegeta began, "My brother gave you a chance to train with us to become stronger. If you let that pass, you will return to Hell."

"Uuugh, I hate ALL of you," he groaned.

"Should I send Kakarot to teach you a lesson?" Kageto asked.

"Hmph."

"Alright, here's the deal. We are going to pair up and hold a fight. Raditz is going with Thorah and that other guy over there. Vegeta is going with Fasha and Bardock is going with me. We will fight ht together. Every team is against the other two teams. Are you in, Destiny? I just assumed you weren't."

"And you assumed correctly," Destiny answered.

"Alright, we're going to use the entire planet as battleground. You can go anywhere on the planet. For the next month there is no end to the fight. You can find somewhere to sleep but let it be a safe place. There are no rules. It's a hunt. Let me drop all of you to a secluded location so we can start the fight."

Kageto grabbed the first team and disappeared. He returned and grabbed the second team. He dropped them off and came back and stood next to Bardock.

"So it's just me and you, buddy," Kageto said to Bardock.

"I guess so," he replied.

"Ok, let's make the best of it. This training is going to be intense. It would be cheating if we go directly to one of the other teams because I know where they are. That's why we'll wait a while. Care to warm-up?"

"Sure, but I won't be holding back."

Two days later

"Alright, let's find the other teams. I sense no energy output so that means no one has found each other yet. I wonder what Destiny is doing."

"I don't know."

"Maybe he went back to Earth," Kageto said.

"Maybe... Is it just me or is your power level rising, Kageto?"

"Heh heh heh, I called in some backup. Look up there. What do you see?"

"Umm, the sky?"

"No, look closer, it's my energy star."

"OH, that, good idea."

"Yeah, we'll be able to use it to replenish our energy."

"Uh, have you forgotten that Fasha can use it too?"

"Oh, damn it, I knew there was something I had to remember."

"We can use it to our advantage," Bardock said.

"What do you mean?"

"Fasha's team would probably head there for two reasons. One: to find you or Two: to stay under it for the same reasons we do."

"You're probably right. We should keep an eye on it."

"Let's go..."

"WAIT, don't fly, they can sense our energy."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

"That reminds me, we have enough time to teach you the Instant Transmission."

"When do we start?"

"Right now."

Fasha and Vegeta

"So, you're Kageto's brother, huh?"

"Yes, even though my entire life I've pretty much stayed away from him," Vegeta answered.

"Why is that?"

"I really don't believe in being close to anyone. They just drag you down with them."

"That's your opinion. It's not true."

"It is, most of the time."

"Well, you don't know Kageto like I do."

"I don't know Kageto at all. The only thing I know is that he only wants to get stronger."

"That's not true! He doesn't seek power."

"Well, at the stadium a long time ago he was determined to win."

"Oh, I've heard that story. You completely misread him. His strategy was to tire you out and then deliver a final blow. The Tuffle King ended the fight and called you the winner. He was enraged because he didn't get to prove his strength. THAT is not a hunger for power. Power seems to find HIM."

"Oh, I think I understand him better now. Thank you..."

"Fasha."

"Yes, Fasha, thank you very much."

"Speaking of Kageto, I see his energy star over there. He must have summoned it to replenish his energy. He seems to have forgotten that I can use it too."

"You can?"

"Yes, we have been together so long that our energy pattern has merged into one. Let's head over there. I'm pretty sure he and Bardock will be heading there too."

One month later...

"That was the best training session I have ever had," Bardock said out loud.

"I agree with you on that one," Kageto replied, "I liked the part where all of you teamed up on me. Why did you join them, Bardock?"

"Because I knew this training wouldn't be enough to make you stronger."

"And you were right. Even Fasha managed to transform into a Super Saiyan, right?"

"I'm exhausted, Kageto, please let me rest," Fasha said lying on the ground.

"How about you, brother? Did you reach or even surpass the limit of your power?"

"I believe I did but I am too tired to push my body any further."

"I believe I speak for everyone when I say we need to rest. There are only nine months left before the timeholes will do unspeakable damage to our bodies. I have no idea how to prepare against that. Let's just hope I find a solution."

"We'll leave in a few minutes, brother," Vegeta said to Kageto.

"Where are you going?"

"We are going to wherever we can create a home. When we accomplish that, I know you will find us."

Vegeta called his servant and Raditz to follow him to his spaceship. Not too long after that they blasted off and disappeared in space.

"I believe it's time for us to return to Earth," Bardock said.

"I agree," Kageto said, "We have a home."

Three days later...

The sunlight shone through the window and Fasha woke up.

"What a beautiful day. I think I'll hang around the city today and figure out what I will do today."

In the next room Bardock also woke up.

"Ahhhh, time sure is going slow. I wish it would go faster. I want those timeholes to be over and done with. Living in fear eveyday for what's about to come is not living at all. Oh, I know, I should practice time traveling today. I should probably not tell Kageto about it. I'll go somewhere secluded and train. But first, I need to have some breakfeast. I'm starving."

Next Thorah woke up.

"To think I was in Hell one month ago. Who could have known that that guy had the power to make this possible. I don't know what I would do now if we hadn't met him back at Planet Vegeta. I do know I'm hungry. I wonder what I can eat here."

And at last Kageto woke up.

"Ah, what a beautiful day. Something is missing though. Oh, right, Destiny is not living with me anymore. I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of miss him now that he's gone. It was fun having him around to talk with. Now I just feel lonely."

Destiny suddenly appeared on the chair beside him with a huge grin.

"Even if I'm somewhere else, I can still hear your thoughts," he said, "Did you say you missed me?"

"Ah, shut up, who gave you permission to read my mind?"

"I gave myself permission because I own you."

"Hah, yeah right. Anyway, are you available for breakfeast?"

"Sure, let's go."

All four of them met at the breakfeast table. Bulma's mother made breakfeast and Bulma was sipping from a cup of tea.

"Good morning, everyone", Mrs. Briefs said, "I made breakfeast for everyone. Don't hesitate to ask for seconds. There is more where that came from."

The four of them sat down. They each got a big plate with a huge stack of pancakes. They attacked the food immediately.

"I told my mom how much you Saiyans eat," Bulma said.

"That's right, I got up very early to make these pancakes especially for the four of you and... what was his name again?"

"Vegeta," Bulma answered, "He probably went to train with the gravity controller. I'll bring him some pancakes later."

Finally Kageto spoke: "I was walking with Destiny. Did anyone see him?"

All of them shook their head.

"I'm inside of your head, Kageto," Destiny said.

"What are you doing here?! You have your own body. You don't need my head. Where's your body?"

"Whenever I possess someone, I take my body with me. It reappears when I get out of your head. Oh, and it's very nice of you to forget all about me when there's food on the table."

"I'm sorry, I was hungry."

"Anyway, I have a favor to ask you."

"And that is?"

"I need someone's Fate adjusted."

"Why can't you do it with your own body?"

"Because it's going to be tough and you are perfect for the job."

"So, you don't want to get your hands dirty and that's why you're asking me?"

"Yes, you have the skills to fight. I don't. The only thing I can do right with my kind of power is blow everyone up. That is not my plan."

"Fine, I'll do it. Who do I have to change?"

"Gohan."

"Gohan?! But why...?"

"You need to implant some anger into him. Actually you need to enhance the anger already present in him. It will affect the future in a good way."

"How do I do that and why is that necessary?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you. What I can do for you is to help you avoid those timeholes you fear."

"And how will you do that?"

"I will transport all of you over the timeholes. You can't see into the future but I can. I know exactly when the timeholes end. That's your reward for this favor I'm asking you."

"Hmm, alright, I'll do what you ask."

"It's a deal."

"So how do I get him angrier?"

"His anger is fueled by the thought of losing his father. Talk bad about Kakarot and he will pop."

"I don't like the sound of this but it's a deal. Won't the kid hate me after this?"

"Don't worry, he'll understand."

"When do we leave?"

"Right now. Say goodbye and fly as fast as you can to Kakarot's house."

Kageto stood up from the table and walked away.

"I'm leaving," he said, "Don't wait for me. I'll be back later."

He left the room and flew away as soon as he reached outside. Bardock and Fasha were accustomed to his behaviour and didn't really mind him. A couple of minutes later they reached Goku's house. Gohan was studying in his room and Chi-Chi was cooking.

"Hello, is there anybody home?"

"Who's there?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I am Kageto, a friend of your husband."

"YOU, DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY PRECIOUS GOKU IS?!"

"Calm down, Chi-Chi, I just came to borrow your son. I have something very important to tell him."

"NO, NO, AND NO! I already lost my husband and I'm NOT going to lose only son. He spent months with that awful Piccolo someplace after he got kidnapped by that horrible Saiyan. And that was under Goku's watch! I am NOT going leave him in the hands of a complete stranger. He already spent months away from home at that planet far away. He has to stay and STUDY. He HAS to become a scholar. My son isn't going to become a delinquent like his FATHER!"

"I respect your love for your son, I really do, but there is no way you are going to stop me from doing what I'm about to do now."

"What?! You're going to kidnap my son too?! I'll protect him with my li..!"

With a simple hand gesture Kageto froze time. He stepped inside and grabbed Gohan who was sitting at his desk. Before leaving he erased Chi-Chi's memory and put her to sleep on her bed.

"That will buy us some time."

Kageto flew away with a frozen Gohan under his arm but didn't see the frozen butterfly in front of him. He hit his head hard and came to his senses.

"Oh, right, I forgot to unfreeze the time."

He waved his hand and unfroze time. Gohan woke up and realized he was being carried high in the sky.

"W-where am I?"

"Don't worry, Gohan, it's me. I'm taking you somewhere to train."

"B-but I have to study. My mom will be angry."

"Don't worry, your mother was to tired to argue with me. She's sleeping."

"Ok..."

Gohan stayed quiet for the rest of the flight. They landed on a green field.

"Ok, here's the deal," Kageto said to Gohan after he put him down, "I couldn't care less about your father. He's probably somewhere getting a massage as far as I know."

"N-no, you don't know him. He's probably doing the best he can to return to Earth."

"If you want to prove that you'll have to fight me, boy."

Kageto slapped him in the face and stepped back. Gohan rubbed his cheek and his aura became visible.

"You do NOT TALK ABOUT MY FATHER LIKE THAT!"

Gohan charged toward Kageto and unleashed his rage. His ki increased exponentially and he fired a yellow energy blast.

"MASENKO-HA!"

Kageto braced himself and deflected the blast upward.

"Am I done now?" Kageto asked Destiny, "I don't think he can get any angrier."

"Yes, you're done."

"All right, good job, Gohan," Kageto said while floating toward him, "That's what I wanted to see. I'm sorry for talking bad about your father but I needed to see your true power. I bet you didn't even know you had it in you, huh?"

"Uh, well... no," Gohan said a little calmer now.

"Uh, we should probably head back. This was great, wasn't it? Spending some time together?"

"I think so."

"Let's go."

Both of them flew silently back to Gohan's house. Chi-chi was fortunately still asleep. Gohan went back to study and Kageto flew over to the top of the tallest tree to sit on.

"So, I did what you asked. When do we leave?"

"We leave when you want to leave."

"Hmm, I'll have to ask the others. We WILL have to train before we leave. I want to fully control my Super Saiyan form."

"Uh... yeah, about that. You'll have to go over the limit if you want to survive. There is a transformation after the Super Saiyan. You'll have to reach that one."

"You mean I can transform again?"

"Yes, if you want to stay superior, you'll have to reach that transformation. That means that we can't leave to the future now. We have to train, and by "we" I mean you and the rest of your crew."

"Oh, and to believe that in such little time there already is a stronger enemy to rise and take place of the previous one."

"Your crew needs more time. I suggest that the four of you enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train."

"Only two people can enter at a time. It's not possible for the four of us to enter at the same time."

"You can control dimensions. Surely you can fit all four of you in there. The first two of you will enter and from the inside you will open a portal for the last two to enter."

"Hmm, that could work. But how do I open a portal?"

"Just think about opening a portal to the outside world and it will just appear in front of you. Think you can do that?"

"I think so."

"It's settled then. Go tell the others."

Kageto used the Instant Transmission and appeared in front of the Capsule Corporation.

"I wonder if they're going to miss us when we're gone..."

End of Pa...

"Most likely," Destiny answered.

"Hey, I didn't ask you. Now you ruined a perfect ending for this chapter... Wait, what chapter?"

"Yeah, sometimes you don't make any sense."

"Ah damn, now I have to come up with a new one... Wait, a new what?"

"I don't know."

Kageto stepped inside and walked toward Bulma who was signing a delivery. The delivery man left and she carried the box to her father's lab.

"Hey, Bulma, wait up."

"Wait up? With that super speed of yours you can certainly catch up," she answered.

"Heh, are any of my crew here somewhere?"

"That cute new guy was helping out in my dad's lab."

"Who? Vegeta?" Kageto joked with a grin on his face.

"Ha ha, very funny but no, that new guy you brought yesterday. What's his name?"

"Thorah. He's actually helping you out?"

"Yeah, he said he didn't have anything to do."

"Oh... What about Vegeta? What is HE doing?"

"He's still training. We are busy making energy reflecting drones for the gravity chamber. They can withstand any gravity and reflect energy. That will toughen up his training."

"Wow, good idea."

"Yeah, I think so too. My father came up with it."

"Why am I not surprised. Your father's a genius."

"Yeah, that's what I have been told. When he's at work days seem like minutes to him. It's up to me and sometimes my mother to get him to eat and sleep. When he finally finishes something he's been working on, he would simply step back and marvel his creation with a smile on his face. I'm always happy to see him like that. It makes ME happy."

A tear trickeled down Bulma's cheek. She wiped it off and continued.

"I don't know how much longer we can enjoy these moments anymore. I know he will have to leave someday. He has most of his life behind him already. It's just a matter of time..."

Her voice trailed off as she was reminiscing. They silently reached the main lab. Thorah was sitting on a ledge watching a big screen where Dr. Briefs was working behind.

"I'm back," Kageto said to Thorah.

"Oh, I didn't sense you coming in. What's your secret?"

"I just hide my energy, that's all. By the way, did any of the other two say where they were going?"

"I know Fasha went shopping, but Bardock didn't say a word when he left. I stayed here because I don't know this planet. I was afraid I would get lost. All three of you are untraceable. I can't find your energy at all."

"Yeah, we do that so no bad guy will track us down and surprise us."

"What about Bardock or Fasha? What do you do when you need to find them?"

"Even though we can hide our energy, we still emit energy. You just have to train to detect that small energy trail."

"Oh... So I'm very outclassed."

"Don't worry, I'll let you catch up. I just wanted to tell the three of you that we're going to spend some time at a special training site. We're going to become stronger. I still have the other two to tell them."

"Wait," Thorah yelled, "Take me with you."

"Okay, grab my shoulder..."

Just as he finished his sentence an intense pain ripped through Kageto's head.

"AAARGH, Isn't this way too soon?!" he thought, "What's the meaning of THIS?!"

"I can't explain it," Destiny said with a hint of pain in his voice, "Did we change the future somehow?!"

The pain went on for a couple of minutes. Kageto collapsed on the ground clutching his head.

"Kageto! Are you all right?!" Bulma and Thorah said at the same time.

"We have to do something, quick!" Bulma yelled, "Thorah, grab him and put him on this table. DAD! Get the MRI scan ready."

Dr. Briefs opened a case and quickly found the capsule. He pressed it and threw it on an empty spot in the lab. Thorah quickly grabbed Kageto and put him in the machine. Just when the pain finally faded away the scanning was completed. While Kageto recovered, Bulma and his father were examining the results of the scan.

"I have never seen such a scan before in my life," Dr. briefs uttered.

"Yeah, well, when you're dealing with these guys, dad, you'll have to get used to unusual results.

Kageto walked over to the scientists and rubbed his head.

"W-what's the prognosis?"

"Your brain has mayor activity going on in there," Dr. Briefs concluded.

Destiny suddenly appeared in front of them rubbing his head.

"Sorry about that," he said, "That's partly my fault. I was inside of Kageto's head during the timehole."

"Timehole, you say?" Dr. Briefs asked interested, "Would you care to enlighten the subject?"

"Yeah, ah... my head, these timeholes are... well, holes that have been ripped to travel through time," Destiny explained, "You could make your own timehole or utilize one created by other circumstances. When using an already existant one, it won't hurt us. But when making your own, you tend to make it bigger than necessary. We are beings connected to Time. When it is damaged, we are damaged. That's just how it goes."

"This sounds interesting," Bulma said, "Dad, we should investigate this."

"I think so too, Bulma," he replied.

"Destiny," Kageto asked, "Do you know where that timehole originated?"

"You mean that I was tracking it down while I was writhing in pain?!"

"Technically I was the one writhing in pain. You just made it worse by being there. Our pain combined because WE were combined."

"Yeah, it doesn't make sense. The timeholes won't come for months. How come one has opened now?"

"I don't know, but I have to find Bardock. I need to see if he and Fasha are alright. Thorah, grab my shoulder if you want to go with me. What are YOU going to do, Destiny?"

"I'll stay here with these geniuses to figure out the problem."

"Ok."

Kageto concentrated and picked up Fasha's energy signature. He appeared next to her in a circle of people. She was passed out on the floor of what seemed to be a shop.

"Fasha! Are you alright?!"

Fasha woke up and rubbed her head.

"W-was that a..."

"Yes, I believe it was," Kageto answered, "We should find Bardock, and fast. Do you know his whereabouts?"

"No, he left without telling me anything."

"Hmm, I'm starting to believe that Bardock is involved in this timehole."

Kageto concentrated to find Bardock's energy signature. He couldn't locate him.

"It's like he disappeared from face of the universe! He... It WAS him. Apparently he's practicing time travel. We have to brace ourselves for when he returns. That is IF he returns..."
