Chapter 30

"Father!" Vegeta yelled in concern. He had been wandering around in the mist until he heard a familiar voice crying in pain. He followed it until he found the previous Saiyan King who was in so much pain with heavy wounds on his chest and left leg.

"Vegeta! I'll fight this guy! Run and escape this planet! This isn't something we can win against guys like them!"

"But –"

"Go!"

This time, Vegeta did not run. He glanced over at the dark figure in the mist as soon as he heard a loud cackling voice. "Frieza?"

Frieza laughed evilly. He was powering up for a small red energy ball, which Vegeta recognized as the powerful Supernova attack.

"Father, no!" Vegeta yelled and ran toward King Vegeta. He made sure that he was in between the former King and Frieza. "I won't ever allow this to happen again, Frieza!"

"Vegeta!" The former king yelled worriedly.

Vegeta whipped his head around when he heard a loud explosion. Apparently, a blue energy ball came out of nowhere and just destroyed the former King into air instantly. "Father, no!"

"Look, I'm not alone after all," Frieza gave a dark chuckle.

Behind the decreased king, there was another dark figure approaching closer and closer to them until Vegeta recognized him.

"Gohan?!" Vegeta asked in shock.

Gohan was laughing. Just like Frieza. Before the current Saiyan King knew what was happening, he got blasted instantly into pieces by one of Gohan's powerful energy balls.

~WE ARE ONE~

Vegeta woke up quickly, sitting up and panting heavily. He looked around, in fright, in the dark room. He glanced over at his mate sleeping peacefully. He was thankful that he did not wake him up or else Kakarot would be very worried and would not be able to sleep as well.

He carefully got out of his bed and stretched out his arms. He knew that he would not be able to go back to sleep after the nightmare. This time… It came back. He completely forgot about it until today. He had the exact same reoccurring nightmare back on Earth after escaping from his own home planet… except the parts where Vegeta tried to save his father and where Gohan appeared. This nightmare was same but this time it was different somehow.

But why? Why did it come back? Was Vegeta that afraid? Would Gohan take him out just like Frieza did? The Saiyan King growled lightly at his own thoughts.

He checked the clock, which was almost six in the morning. Kakarot would not be getting up for another hour or so.

Vegeta put on his dark blue silk robe and walked out on the balcony to watch the rising sun. He was not sure what to do with the so-called former Outsiders. He wanted to ask the former Saiyan Kings for their wisdom, but it was already morning, so he would have to wait until tonight.

Gohan had one month to gain Vegeta's trust anyway. Was his dream trying to warn him about Gohan? He could be a spy for the Outsiders. Or worse, he could have gotten the orders from the leader to kill the Vegeta family.

Or was it a mere coincidence that Gohan and Trunks met at the martial arts tournament? What if Gohan did not have any intention to harm anyone?

So far, the former Outsiders had not done any damage. At least, not yet. As much as Vegeta wanted to expel them from the kingdom, they had not done anything wrong. Today, he would make sure to increase the number of patrols who would be monitoring the Outsiders.

Just in case.

~WE ARE ONE~

Gohan could not believe his luck. When he got to the palace before the sunrise, he was turned away by one of the guards at the gate. Since Trunks was not here yet, Gohan decided to wander around outside the palace until he spotted the Saiyan King on the balcony.

Vegeta seemed to be in deep thoughts. He was not wearing anything that was armored. That meant… His guard was completely down! Gohan had a chance to take him out without having to earn the Saiyan King's trust through the Prince first! And, even better – No witness!

Making sure not to raise his ki too fast and too much, Gohan was focusing on creating a ki ball on one of his palms. He was so eager that he could finish the mission much earlier. He was also way too excited that he did not even notice an approaching presence.

"Good morning!"

Gohan nearly jumped; completely startled by the Saiyan Prince's cheerful voice that he lost his concentration. He quickly made his energy ball go away, silently hoping that Trunks did not notice it.

Trunks laughed, as he jumped around the former Outsider. "I surprised you, didn't I?! Did I?!"

"You…" Gohan said hesitantly. He glanced over at the balcony only to discover that Vegeta was gone. "Yeah, I guess you surprised me."

"Ha! I knew it!" Trunks grinned widely. "Sorry about the guard turning you away back at the gate! I saw you and tried to catch up with you, but then you were completely distracted… so, I wanted to scare you!"

"T-that's…" Gohan chuckled softly, trying to cover up his nervousness. "You did good hiding your ki."

"I'm ready for my first lesson," the Saiyan Prince took Gohan's hand. "Come on! Let's go to the training arena!"

Gohan made one last glance at the empty balcony. He followed Trunks to the training arena, which was a few miles away from Vegeta City.

"Whoa," Gohan said in awe once he and the Prince got to the destination. The training arena was an outdoor, and it was huge. It was as wide as a football field back on Planet Earth.

"'Whoa' is correct," Trunks chuckled softly. "This place is only restricted to the royal family and friends. You're the first friend I brought here!"

"Friend?" Gohan asked. They were friends already? He thought it would take him a while to get to this point. Whatever, he did not complain a little bit. The sooner he finished the mission, the better.

"Yeah, friend. What's wrong with it?" Trunks asked almost nervously.

"No… no, that's fine," Gohan gave him a charming smile. "Let's start, shall we?"

~WE ARE ONE~

It had been two weeks since the training started. The routine began from the day one. Gohan showed up at the gate not only waiting for Trunks to come out but also hoping that Vegeta would show up alone. Unfortunately for him, the Saiyan King never did.

As for training, Trunks was excellent at close combats, but he was terrible at handling energy balls and at doing techniques. He could not even do a simple special technique called Kamehameha! Wasn't it one of Kakarot's special techniques?

Goten joined them sometimes just for fun. Some days he got out of control. For other days, he just played around with Trunks, pissing him off. Even at the age of 18, Goten was still a little brother to Gohan.

But, this morning was completely different. Gohan got to the palace and was waiting at the gate. He spotted a loud Saiyan couple walking by.

"Did you hear that the Immigrant Restriction Act was passed last night? It was fucking great!" One of the Saiyans exclaimed excitedly.

"Finally! It was proposed by our King's mate, didn't he? And then, the council passed it… and lastly, Vegeta-sama approved it. That means… we will have control over the aliens who either want to visit here or to live here! It was about time!" The second said loudly.

Gohan was quiet for the entire time. It was not the first time he heard positive things about the Saiyan King and his mate. Kakarot was very active on his part, so he often volunteered to help out the not-for-profit organizations and charities. He even helped setting up free schools for all children. A few years ago, he also proposed another Act, which required all children between 5 and 18 years old to attend schools.

While Kakarot focused on the issues inside the kingdom, Vegeta had been working on the issues outside the kingdom. He visited several alien planets, which were either allied or nearly wiped out by Frieza and Cooler. Saiyans had so many enemies out in the space, so Vegeta made sure that their own home planet and their allies were safe. So, he negotiated with hundreds of planets and signed hundreds of peace treaties with the former enemies. For the foreign planets which were allies, he tried to either change or create trade agreements.

As Gohan also heard, Frieza left an absolute mess in Planet Vegeta's economy. After Vegeta reclaimed his throne, they were in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt. Even today, they were still working on trying to pay off the rest. But, the economy was much better today, as there was significantly decrease of low-income families.

The Saiyans in Vegeta City seemed so much happier than what Gohan heard from the Outsiders, of course, to his surprise. He grew up hearing from the Outsiders about how Vegeta was a monster and how much cruel he was.

But after moving to Vegeta City, what he saw and heard was completely opposite from what he expected. Saiyans spoke quite positively of the King. Hell, they even worshipped him by attending a weekly small festival in the honor of Vegeta-sama.

At this point, Gohan was not sure about his mission. What was he supposed to do now? Assassinate the Saiyan King who was loved by his people? Or just abandon the mission and live in the city with Goten and Ketsu?

Even Trunks wasn't being a spoiled and mean Saiyan Prince who the Outsiders always talked about. Yet, all he had done was being very kind to Saiyans and often received friendly greetings from them.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Trunks leaped from the closed gate. "Gohan, let's do something different today!"

"What?" Gohan blinked in confusion at Trunks's eagerness.

"We're going to Planet Earth! Their gravity is a little heavier than here, so it will be perfect for my training!"

Gohan had never been to Earth in his life. He heard that it was the most beautiful planet in the entire North Galaxy. "Um. Sure, if you want to."

~WE ARE ONE~

"Gohan isn't making any move on Trunks. What now?" King Kai asked himself. If Vegeta was assassinated before King Kai had done anything, then the great Saiyan Kings would be going after him for sure!

He walked over the spot where he usually used to monitor Planet Vegeta only to discover that Gohan and Trunks were not there anymore. He moved around, trying to search for their life forces until he found them on the way to Earth. Okay, so… Earth, eh?

"Wait!" He yelled at himself when he realized that they were heading for the blue planet. "That's perfect! All I need to do is to reach out to Dende!"

Kami had fused back into Piccolo during the battle against Cooler about 18 years ago. They did that in order to increase their strength and almost won against Cooler, but got knocked out instead. Luckily, Vegeta and Kakarot were there to defeat him anyway.

As in the result, Dende decided to take over Kami's place, so he flew all the way from Namek to Earth. Right after he became the god of Earth, he got the chance to meet the rest of Vegeta royal family who visited Earth and liked them already. Probably it was because of Kakarot's kindness.

"Dende!" King Kai yelled.

"What is it, King Kai?" Dende asked.

"Okay, Gohan and Trunks are on the way to Earth right now. They will be here in half hour. So, I need you to do something for me."

"Yes?"

"Make them fall in love."

"WHAT?!" Dende yelled, almost dropping his old cane. "You know that's against the law of the universe –"

"It is serious this time! You have to do anything to make them fall in love with each other… well, naturally."

"Is it even possible?" Dende shook his head in disbelief. He did not know anything about love at all. After all, he was an asexual Namekian!

"Try!"

"Okay, I'll do it." Dende sighed lightly. It was King Kai's request, after all, so Dende would do it. But, the problem is, Trunks and Gohan would be here soon, and the Earth god did not have any idea what to do at all.

"Perfect! Report back when they return to Planet Vegeta!"

"Wah, what do I do, Mr. Popo?!" Dende cried after the telepathic link was cut off by King Kai.
