Author's Note: New chapter! This is the end of the first part! YAY! Actually, I finished this chapter a few days, but decided to wait until today so that it gave me more time to try write the next chapter. Enjoy the end of the first part!

By the way, as for the second Lion King movie, I'm not going to submit a sequel. Instead, I'm going to include the second part in this story. So, you don't have to worry about looking for the sequel in order to add it to your alert list.

Chapter 21

It was a long and harsh winter season. It was two times longer as Earth's winter season. Now that the Saiyans did not have any ally's technology and resources anymore, food and water were running out at the rapid rate.

As much as Vegeta did not want to get Earth involved, millions of humans still insisted to provide their knowledge and resources in order to teach the Saiyans how to grow their own vegetables and fruits. It turned out that the humans heard about how Super Saiyan Vegeta defeated the universe's nightmare, Frieza and how their planet was targeted to be wiped out so they were forever in his debt.

By the end of the winter season, the war against Frieza's allies was over when they decided to retreat back to their own home planets after Cooler, the new leader and the older brother of Frieza, was killed by both the blonde-haired Saiyan King and his newly blonde-haired mate. Yes, Kakarot went Super Saiyan when he witnessed Cooler killing more Saiyans. With two Super Saiyans, it was an easy victory for them. Saiyans might have won, but they knew that their struggles were not over just yet. They had to grow on their own.

"Vegeta, when will you ever get a break?" Kakarot asked after entering the throne room just in time to witness the last third-class Saiyan leaving with a smile on his face.

"Right now," Vegeta got up and stretched out his tired arms. "You are supposed to be in the bed."

Kakarot pouted cutely at him, as he rubbed his large stomach. "I'm fine. I'm worried about you."

"Vegeta-sama!" Bulma yelled after running into the throne room. "You're late for the spring ceremony! You were supposed to be at the balcony ten minutes ago! They are waiting for you."

"When do I ever get a break?" Vegeta almost smacked himself in the face, but held back the urge to.

"Well, it is time," Bulma smiled brightly at him, as she hugged him. "Kakarot, you get dressed too! They would love to see the king's adorable mate too."

"Thank you... I think?" Kakarot laughed.

After getting dressed up, Kakarot could not help but wonder where his brother was. A few weeks after the war started, Vegeta sent out the search party for Raditz, but he was not found anywhere. Still, Kakarot was worried about him... even though Raditz used him for the wealth, he was still his brother.

A month ago, Raditz came back, probably also to use Kakarot again as an excuse for being a 'brother,' but Vegeta was not that stupid. As in the result, Raditz was immediately expelled for his crimes. Kakarot tried to stop Vegeta once, but he realized that there had to be consequences for what Raditz had done to Planet Vegeta.

Now Raditz was gone. Other than human friends, Kakarot did not have anybody else left except Vegeta.

"Kakarot, are you ok?" Vegeta asked.

"Oh!" Kakarot was almost startled. He did not realize that Vegeta was still there. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about Raditz..."

"Hn," Vegeta simply said. And, that was it. There was no need to bring up another conversation about Raditz. They had too many fights about him, and it was exhausting. With Kakarot's terrible past, pregnancy, and mood swing, it once got to the point when Kakarot threatened him that he would leave.

Raditz was not the only one who was banished. Hundreds of Saiyans were also expelled with him because they were loyal to Frieza and wanted to take out the Vegeta Kingdom.

"Come on, Kakarot. We shouldn't keep them waiting any longer," Vegeta said after putting on his red cape. He turned to Kakarot who was putting on the white loose armor that was made only for pregnant men. He smirked at the beauty of his mate. Everything about his mate was completely pure, and he could see the reason why everyone wanted him. Too bad for every single dominant Saiyan though because Kakarot was now his.

"Okay, I'm ready!" Kakarot said cheerfully.

When they got to the entrance of balcony, they were surprised to see their Namekian and human friends.

"Good job!" Krillin yelled.

"We are so proud of you!" Yamcha exclaimed.

"Hn," Piccolo simply said with a usual scowl on his face.

"You guys!" Kakarot laughed. "What are you doing here?"

"Bulma let us in! Hope you don't mind," Krillin gave them a thumb-up. "We just wanted VIP seats! We can't wait to hear what you are going to tell your people."

"Right," Vegeta mumbled. He was not exactly a people person, but he knew that he was destined to be... the Saiyan King. What was really going through his bloodstreams was the former great Saiyan Kings, so he was not going to let the former kings and his people down.

"Vegeta, come on!" Bulma yelled. "They are waiting for you!"

As soon as the balcony doors opened, they noticed right away that it was pouring outside for the first time in a long time. The planet needed it more than anything else. Still, the Saiyans didn't care about the rain and were more than happy to see their new king.

"Vegeta, go on. I'll be with you soon," Kakarot smiled and placed a kiss on Vegeta's lips. "You'll be fine."

Vegeta nodded his head.

"Here," Bulma handed a gold crown to the king. "Vegeta... it is time. This is the moment we've all been waiting for."

Vegeta placed the crown on his head and gave Bulma a small but rare smile. "Thank you for everything, Bulma."

"Oh, sure – ack!" Bulma almost yelped when Vegeta gave her a tight hug. "Oh, Vegeta, it's no need for you to thank us. We just did what we wanted to."

Vegeta took a deep breath before coming out on the balcony. As soon as the Saiyans caught a glimpse of their new king, they cheered loudly.

He waited patiently until the cheering died down. "People of Planet Vegeta, I'm more than honored to be here, welcomed by all of you. I really appreciate your kindness and support, despite of what recently happened. And more importantly..." He hesitated and turned to Kakarot.

"Go on," Kakarot whispered.

"Frieza and Cooler are finally dead –" Vegeta was interrupted by the loud cheers and was waiting patiently once again. He continued when it got quiet, "So, we are on our own... We may have fallen, but we will definitely get back up. We may start all over, but we are definitely on the way to being the most powerful kingdom in the universe. It's only the beginning of our journey..."

"Vegeta-sama! Vegeta-sama!" the Saiyans chanted.

Vegeta looked up at the dark wet clouds. He remembered when he had a chat with his father on Earth. Remember who you are.

"My father..." He started, "He often told me great things about our home planet. About how hard you worked just for the sake of our planet. Our dreams may be lost, but we will always stand tall and finish strong. We may be individuals, but we are much more than we are. We are the one pride... Pride of the Saiyans."

Almost immediately, the raining stopped. But Saiyans ignored it as they cheered loudly once again.

"One more thing..." Vegeta turned to Kakarot and made a gesture that told him to come on the balcony. Kakarot did so, and Vegeta took his hand. "I would like to announce that Kakarot is officially my mate. We are expecting the next Saiyan King."

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
Circle of Life
