Hey everyone in Fanfiction and I'm sorry for the delay in posting chapter 4, but I have two valid reasons.
The first one may not be that valid, but I was working on my Spyro story, and got involved in the moment I was writing.
The second reason, and I believe the most important reason. Last week, at the age of 40, I had a minor stroke.
I have lost partial vision in my right eye because of this, and I will tell you now how this happened. I have been smoking for over twenty years, and it is finally taking it's toll on me. So here is chance for me to make a difference in the world, and I beg you to listen. Do not start smoking, and if you have started...STOP.
I can barely read the words that I am typing now, and that is scarier then dying itself. I am thankful that I still have the ability to see, and can only pray that I keep what vision I have. I am cigarette free for nearly a week, and I only hope I have the will power to remain a non smoker...and most importantly stay alive.
I will try my damn hardest to keep this story light hearted, as this is to be a comedy, and I hope you understand that there will be delays from this point.
Chapter 4 The Draconian Favor
"I don't understand why you have come here, Lord Beerus!" barks the angered voice of the Dragon King, staring upon the small cat-like God of Destruction with fierce rage. "You were asked to stay away from this place by our ancestors and would not be allowed to use this chamber ever again."
Beerus, actually kneeling to this very large Draconian, turns his eyes to his attendant, knowing this humbling of himself is Whis' fault.
"I will not beg for your forgiveness, King Titan, because as it states in your history, I was not the one who destroyed your hyperbolic chamber either of the three times."
Beerus rises back to his feet, then looks up at the king of this very powerful race with mutual respect in his eyes, knowing he cannot throw his strength around as a deterrent. Unlike Earth, this race would put up a fight, and though it would not be successful, both parties would suffer great consequences.
Possibly ending the reign of a God.
"If it pleases Your Majesty, I can promise that Whis will not destroy the chamber again, because he will not be going inside."
The large black and red dragon balks, hearing this duo will not be together, and turns to the only other person that accompanied Whis and Beerus into the throne room.
"You mean this puny creature is going to try using a Hyperbolic Time Chamber?!"
He lowers his head down to gaze upon the five foot Saiyan Prince, and gives a little chuckle. With his massive paw, he pushes Vegeta. However, the small Saiyan barely budges an inch.
"If you wish to lose this paw, please continue pushing me with it. If not..." Vegeta smacks the large black paw from his chest, forcing the black drake to regain his balance from this sudden impact.
"...GET IT OUT OF MY FACE!"
Beerus and Whis become concerned for a moment, especially as the large dragon begins growling with anger, then lowers his muzzle down before Vegeta.
"HOW DARE YOU STRIKE THE KING!" Titan yells, and yet Vegeta remains intimidated.
"I will prove my resolve on your jaw, if you wish." the Saiyan Prince remarks with a smugness that startles the king, and Titan shockingly backs away.
"Feisty little thing you are?" he says, annoying Vegeta as he continues pointing out his size. "Do you really think you can defeat a creature like myself, if I chose to strike?"
Vegeta only smiles and nods his head up and down.
"I would like to see that!" the king retorts to his non verbal response, and quickly his tail is dropped down from the sky.
Vegeta, seeing this attack coming from a mile away, moves two feet to his right, allowing the impact to occur directly by his left side. He places his hand upon the black dragon's tail and uses it to leap up in the air. The Saiyan Prince then unloads all of his power into a vicious kick that connects across Titan's muzzle.
Beerus and Whis sit in total shock as the gold crown comes flying of the head of colossal Draconian king, and even more surprise fills their eyes as Vegeta lands this bicycle type kick beside the gem encrusted head piece.
He then picks it up and arrogantly holds it over his own head.
"It's a bit large for me," Vegeta remarks sarcastically, lowering the hula-hoop sized crown down around to his waist, then lets it fall to the ground. "but I guess I can just melt it down, and give my wife a solid gold, jewel encrusted, rocking chair for her birthday!"
"ARE YOU NUTS!?" Whis barks out, knowing how enraged the Dragon King will become, but Vegeta answers the question in a different way.
"You're right, Whis...Bulma will kill me if I gave her a rocker!"
"I will KILL you for this!" the large black dragon yells, noticing his crown being disrespected in such a manor. He opens his wings wide and stands up on his hind legs, raising his head nearly thirty feet above his foe.
His height and size are impressive, but not to Vegeta, as he has faced threats far bigger than a single dragon, regardless of it's size.
"You can try, Tiny!"
The smugness of his voice incites a feral reaction, and it is anticipated by the Martial Arts expert, whom averts the large paw that comes crashing down from high above. Vegeta again leaps in the air, but this time he takes his assault to the appendage that just missed him.
With one well placed kick, the Saiyan Prince connects upon the large dragon's wrist.
The Draconian King cries out in pain as he collapses to the ground, when his weight and momentum force this paw to dislocate and bend in the wrong direction. Several dragons quickly enter the room at this moment, hearing the pain-filled scream of their king, and all of them focus their anger towards the small Saiyan Prince. However, before a single plume of flame can be fired to protect their king,
"STAY BACK!" Titan bellows from the ground, the pain in his voice still very apparent. "This is a private fight, and I will deal with this little problem myself."
The half dozen armored drakes back off as instructed, as their king returns to a three pawed stance. He then grasps his dislocated paw and cracks it back into place.
Lowering the slightly damaged appendage back to the ground, Titan tests the stability of his paw, before looking down at the tiny creature holding his crown.
"You are surprisingly strong for your size, like your friends over here..." the large king remarks, pointing at Beerus and Whis with the paw he just fixed, then flexing it to show no pain. "...I guess I will need to stop taking you lightly, and end this now!"
Again Vegeta smirks, showing no fear in his eyes, however, that all changes as a dark orange glow begins forming in the black dragon's throat.
That's not good! He says to himself, just as a huge plume of fire comes from the King's muzzle, engulfing the small Saiyan within an inferno of flames.
Whis and Beerus, still stunned about this impromptu scuffle, stay back as well, knowing their fight has been declared one on one by the king, and knowing better than to disrespect Draconian law.
However, with a bit of concern, and a great deal of sarcasm, the large cat does open his mouth.
"Are you still alive in there, Vegeta!?" He asks jokingly, and is quickly answered with an arrogant snicker.
"It's a trifle warm, but I cannot complain!" Vegeta replies, and the black dragon immediately drops his attack, astonished to hear a voice from the fire.
"WHAT THE HELL?" he cries out, believing now that Vegeta is a god as well and his eyes focus hard upon the God of Destruction and his purple skinned comrade. "You didn't tell me he was a deity as well!"
Beerus and Whis begin laughing, as does Vegeta, whom answers Titan's question on his own.
"I am no God!" he replies, still laughing at the thought, then gives his opponent proof. The Saiyan Prince raises his right arm, showing the burn mark that was left after protecting his eyes from an intense fire.
"And now we're even, Your Majesty," Vegeta continues, lowering to his knee and grasping the large crown. He holds it up, and bows his head, trying to be respectful, however, the Draconian leader has no interest in a stalemate.
Vegeta is struck from the side with a vicious paw, sending the Saiyan Prince through the wall on the far side of the throne room.
Goku, who happens to be sitting in the same room his friend comes crashing into, is startled when Vegeta hits the ground before him.
"What the-!" he barks, quickly on his feet and by his friend's side. However, the Saiyan Prince is also up on his feet in a blink, and his hand is held out to the larger Saiyan Warrior.
"BACK OFF, KAKAROT!" Vegeta yells, staring through the hole he just came through, and locking his eyes on the large dragon who sucker punched him. He turns his head slightly, showing an almost smug grin upon his face, which stuns the large black and red Draconian King.
"This is a Private Fight!"
Vegeta finally charges himself up, ascending directly to his Super Saiyan Two form, and blasts back through the hole. He leads with his fist, heading directly towards the startled face of this colossal opponent, and connecting with his own unexpected punch.
The drake lurches back from the impact, and Vegeta is quick to take advantage, moving swiftly to his left, and driving the king back the other way with a second powerful punch.
Beerus and Whis watch with astonishment as the small Saiyan prince begins man-handling the creature hundreds of times his size and weight, showing off his cunning and ability in landing solid attacks with little resistance.
"That is impressive skill he posses, Whis. He has a fluidity to his movement that is remarkable...almost like an artist working on a canvas," The God of Destruction remarks, believing now that he could learn a few pointers from the Sayian Prince.
Whis nods then shows a bit of a smirk as the Draconian King finally becomes angry.
"Well lets see how well his defenses are, because this battle is going to become very one-sided now."
After being struck over a dozen times in the jaw, the Dragon King becomes enraged. His eyes flash with power, and like Vegeta and Goku, this alien species shows they have internal power that is easily tapped.
Vegeta, still unleashing fists at a rapid pace, suddenly realizes his punches are hurting him more the dragon he is striking, and stops the assault.
"Well now!" the Sayian Prince remarks, staring down the large dragon that continues to build up power. "It appears there is more to these creatures than just their tough exterior..." the Saiyan Prince shows a very agreeable grin to his opponent, and basically asks for this fight to continue. "...lets see what you have on the inside!"
The leader of this battle loving race also smiles, seeing an almost kindred spirit within the powerful little warrior.
"You appear to have a dragon's heart," the large king replies, grasping his crown from the ground, and placing it upon the throne he came down from. "I will enjoy this fight from this point."
The two stare each other down, while in the background, Goku and King Kai regroup with Whis and Beerus.
"Did Vegeta start another intergalactic war?!" the short but round Kai asks with an attitude, however, Beerus is quick to reply with a smile.
"Not at all! In fact, I think he knows just how to negotiate with them!"
The Saiyan Prince drills Titan directly in the jaw at this exact moment, snapping the drake's head back several feet. The king, in retaliation, whips his tail up into Vegeta's chest, flinging the tiny warrior into the chandelier above him. The massive crystal light fixture breaks from it's holdings, and everyone leaps back as it falls to the ground with the Saiyan Prince entangled inside.
"VEGETA!?" Goku barks out with worry, however, the familiar sound of his friend's aggravated voice keeps him from running in to help.
"That was a sneaky counter attack, you over sized lizard!" the Saiyan Prince remarks, rising up from the pile of broken crystal shards, and staring up at his much large opponent.
"Do you need medical attention, little fella?" the large dragon remarks with humor, seeing a stream of blood now trickling from Vegeta's forehead. He, on the other hand, shows no ill effects from the Saiyan's powerful right cross. "I didn't mean to make you bleed, I just didn't know you were that fragile."
Vegeta nods his head in respect, and not just for that well placed tail attack, but a good insult that followed. Again a smile fills his face, and again the large dragon is startled seeing the small Saiyan is preparing to attack.
"I've enjoyed this workout, Your Majesty." the Saiyan Prince remarks, then looks over at his friend with a wide grin, knowing he is about to truly show off what he has learned from Goku.
"But now it is time to see my TRUE POWER!"
Beerus and his mentor shake their heads, as Vegeta increases his power to the Super Saiyan Three form he used for only a second against Whis, knowing this power increase means nothing to the Draconian race.
"Ahhh...Vegeta!" Whis remarks, raising a hand to get the Prince of all Saiyan's attention, however, as he is consumed with the images of his wife and son, powering his body to this level, Vegeta cannot see the gesture from Whis to stop.
The now long haired Vegeta zips straight up to the dragon's eyes, showing a smugness that consumes his entire body, knowing how much power he can now call upon with his heart so pure.
"I do not want to kill you, great king, but if you push me in this form, I may not be able to contro..."
Before he can finish this warning, the Darconian King swipes his paw across his face, and clubbers Vegeta out of mid air.
The great Saiyan warrior, who has seen Goku move faster than fast, is astonished to watch this thirty five foot tall, twenty ton dragon move just as fast. Before he can think, the drake has his giant paw down upon the Saiyan's chest, pressing Vegeta's back to the hard marble floor of the throne room.
Whis smiles as the Darconian king just lowers his muzzle down to the powerful Saiyan and laughs directly in his face.
"They draw energy from their opponents, you idiot!"
The large dragon, who takes most of Vegeta's power within seconds, just continues laughing.
"You had a better chance when your hair was short and black.." he remarks, lifting Vegeta from the ground in his paw, and showing a respectful smile. "You're a talented fighter, but you didn't learn about your enemy before charging in...a lesson your friend over there learned the hard way as well."
Beerus blushes, as he recalls the first missions he was tasked with, and the only time he has ever failed to destroy a planet that was marked by the gods.
"I made a compromise with your ancestors that I have stuck with, Titan!" the God of Destruction replies, stepping forward to confront the large dragon whose great great great grandfather held the powerful cat in this same defenseless position. "He can still win this battle by destroying the castle and everyone in it."
The large king worries as Vegeta's power begins to spike again, but to his surprise, the black and red dragon can tell quickly the Saiyan's rage is not focused upon him.
"That is a cowards way of fighting..." Vegeta barks down at Beerus, then looks upon the dragon that could crush him if he wanted. "...if I lose...I lose, but I would not resort to such a tactic like that. I have learned to have respect for my opponent. Especially one who has asked for a fair fight."
Vegeta is stunned as Titan releases him, and lowers back down to four paws.
"You really do have a dragon's heart, my friend, and I have had a change of heart as well." the king remarks, bowing his head slightly in respect to a fellow warrior. Titan then looks down at Beerus before returning his eyes to Vegeta. "...I believe a year alone with you and this wise-alec cat might learn some respect in battle."
Thank you for reading, and I hope beyond hope to see this story through to a fun conclusion.
Again I will beg you, DON'T SMOKE!
Life is far too short!
