Chapter 2: Origins

When they all regained consciousness, it was pitch black. To cure that, Raiden created a solid spirit ball which illuminated the area. They seemed to be in a cave, and where they came from was nowhere to be seen. "There it is!" Kaiden shouted, running towards a golden ball with a red star on it. He picked it up and showed it to Raiden. Raiden took it and observed it. Suddenly, they all heard a whooshing sound of a metallic door opening and a white light appeared only meters away.

"Destination: Planet earth reached. Wake up Tarble." A female robot voice notified. "Tarble?" Raiden thought to himself. "Where have I heard that name before?" A Figure exited the pod. He wore the same armour as his friend Gotega, had black spiky hair, and a tail. This kicked Raiden's memory. "Tarble!" He shouted out loud. The figure looked at him. His face was simple and young despite his age. "Raiden?" They both ran towards one another and gripped each other's arms. "How long has it been?!" "17 years I think." "It's good to see you Raiden." He looks behind him "Who are they?" "Oh they're my children." Tarble raised an eyebrow "Children? You mean like my brother had?" "Wait, Vegeta had children?!" Raiden stood shocked. "Yes. I visited him at that time and he helped me. I came back to see how he is. Any idea where he is?" "Tarble... Vegeta has disappeared. He's been gone many months now." Tarble recoiled in surprise. "What? What happened?" "I only know what the planet's guardian, Dende has told me."

Many months ago...

Dende was watching over the earth with Mr Popo. Mr Popo was the earth's guardian before Goku was born so no one knows what he is or his origin. Dende was a namekian. He was light green skinned, had green antennas and wore a monk-like robe. The earth seemed to have a reasonable amount of storms around. "Mr Popo, I have a bad feeling today. King Yemma should have contacted me by now." King Yemma was in charge of other world, where everyone goes when they die. He decides if they go to heaven or hell. "Perhaps he is busy today?" "Maybe... These storms though, they're not natural. Look, there's seven of them, all in different positions and moving at great speed." Dende looked at a globe and pointed at 7 dark clouds which moved a great speed. Suddenly, all 7 joined together to make a big one and sped towards the watchtower. "That can't be right. Hang on." Dende closed his eyes and looked for the storm; he found it quickly and searched for power levels/Ki levels. Suddenly, he fell back in shock. "It can't be!"

Soon, the clouds reached the watchtower and 7 figures landed. The first at the front was white with purple orbs around his body. He was Frieza and Dende recognised him instantly. Next to him was a green and black being which looked like he was in camouflaged armour. His name was cell, and the three small blue beings behind him were his children, cell juniors. They sniggered. Behind was a small, child sized pink being with holes on his shoulders. His name was kid Buu. He never spoke. The two cell juniors suddenly jumped up onto cell and disappeared, along with two copies of Frieza, leaving the three, Dende and Popo. "Frieza..." Dende silently spoke, looking at the white figure who smirked, "Cell..." looking at the green figure who looked around and looking to the small pink being "Buu..." It gave a small smirk. Frieza moved forward. "Give us the dragon ball's namekian!" "Why should I?" "Because I'll kill you if you don't." "Kill me and the dragon balls will disappear." "He's got you there Frieza." "Shut up Cell." He moved forward. "Very well, LEAVE THE NAMEK BUT DESTROY THIS PLACE AND FIND THE DRAGON BALLS!" He shouted and all three disappeared, explosions soon following.

Vegeta was sitting on a rock, meditating and thinking about his lost friends and family. "Vegeta!" Dende called in Vegeta's mind. "What do you want, namekian?" "It's terrible, the watchtower is under attack. Frieza, Cell and Buu have all returned and are searching for the dragon balls! Please hurry Vegeta!" Vegeta sighed. "Fine, I'll be there in a second. It's something to pass the time." He placed his two forefingers on his head and concentrated on the watchtower. He vanished into thin air.

"Finally, we've found them!" Seven yellow balls with red stars were gathered in the middle of the floor. "Eternal dragon, arise and grant my wish!" The balls glowed for a moment but after a sudden explosion, a green dragon appeared. "You who have summoned me, I will grant you two wishes." "Dragon, we wish that all of us were..." Frieza started saying "That you were never born right?" a voice said. "Yes that we were never bor... All right who's the smart guy?" Frieza asked angrily.

Suddenly Vegeta appeared with long blonde hair all the way to his waist in front of them or also known as Super saiyan 3. "Sup bitches!" Vegeta mockingly said. "VEGETA!" Frieza and Cell shouted in unison. "So..who's first?" Vegeta asked.

Hearing this, Buu charged at Vegeta with all his power. He punched Vegeta multiple times but none of them had any effect. Vegeta stopped one of Buu's punches and crushed it completely and utterly. Buu cried in pain but before he could make much of a noise, Vegeta blasted him into oblivion so he couldn't regenerate. Before Frieza and Cell could react, Vegeta appeared behind Cell and punched his gut so hard, his fist burst through. He then exploded in a pink explosion from Vegeta's hand. "And then, there was one." Vegeta said coldly while powering down to his normal form and staring at Frieza. "You don't know how long I've waited for this. Any last words?" "Yes... I remember when you were 15. I wish you were 15 again so I could teach you a lesson." Frieza spoke, forgetting the eternal dragon was behind him.

"Your wish has been granted." It bellowed. "Wait, what?!" Frieza answered. Vegeta was about to say the same thing, but he exploded in a burst of light. He woke up after a couple of seconds and didn't feel any different. He looked towards Frieza who seemed shocked. "Ve...Vegeta, you're a kid again?!" After quickly revising his body, his anger burst. "DAMN YOU FRIEZA! TIME TO DIE!" and powered up a very powerful blast in his hand. Frieza, noticing he wouldn't win shouted to the dragon. "I wish Vegeta was in another dimension!"

As soon as Frieza finished, he was blasted into oblivion by Vegeta's attack. "Your wish has been granted" the dragon bellowed again. "WAIT STOP!" Vegeta shouted but was cut off by a vortex surrounding him. He was sucked through before he could react and fell unconscious. Before he did, he heard the dragon say "Farewell!" and that was all Vegeta heard before he fell back into unconsciousness.

Present day...

Tarble fell back onto a nearby rock. "That was a few months ago. From what Dende told me, Vegeta wanted to stay where he was for a while. We can ask Dende to send a message if you want?" "No, it's fine." Tarble muttered quietly. While Raiden told this tale, his children went looking for a way out. "Do you think that's the legendary Vegeta's brother?" Kaiden asked Dauntia. "Nah, he seems too weak. Besides, Vegeta lost all that he had, remember?" Kaiden stopped for a moment. "Kaiden?" "I need to talk to Dende." Dauntia sighed. "You can't remember, only dad can." "Actually that's not true." A voice spoke in both of their heads, making them jump. "Don't worry, it's me. Dende." "Ooh!" they both spoke in unison. "Anyway, what did you want to talk about young Saiyans?"

Raiden and Tarble were waiting quietly for Raiden's children to return. Raiden was a little worried that they were taking so long. "I'm sure their fine." This didn't improve Raiden's mood much. Suddenly, a bright light appeared, blinding both Raiden and Tarble. When they could see again, they were both shocked to see a man in an orange Kimono, like Goku wore, with short spiky hair like Goku, and a face like Goku. After a second of staring, Raiden and Tarble realised who it was. They both shouted in unison and surprise "KAKARROT!?"
