A year later…
"Usagi! Where is the freaking Weights for my Training Uniform?" He called out, as he tore through the bedroom they shared. She chuckled, and walked in with a grin, her hand resting on her lower belly carefully, the overly-large mound standing out broadly. In the year since Frieza's demise, Vegeta and Usagi had made good with their vow of eternity, creating new life in the womb of Usagi, who was now closer to Neo-Queen Serenity. They were waiting for the event that would make it necessary to leave, but they were in fact King and Queen of the Saiyan and Lunarian races. The Vegetasei kingdom had indeed grown exponentially since the past, even if the remaining members of those races were deceased.
"Vegeta, love… you left them at Goku's place last time. Remember?" she said, as he looked up thoughtfully, then cleared his throat. "Oh…I do remember that, vaguely. I need them… I'm going to train." He said, as she chuckled again and nodded. "That's fine. Just be close to home… this little girl is close to being ready to come out…" she smiled, as he moved to her, and placed his hand over hers, resting on the large bump.
"No, he's not. Give him a week or so, wife. He'll be ready in a week." He said, as she placed her hand on her hip, and pouted.
"Not 'He'. She. She'll be ready to come out in a few days…" Usagi said, as he laughed, "We'll see. Remember, if it's a male, then I get to have anything I want for food for the next month."
"And if it's a girl, you'll be rubbing my feet every day, whenever I ask, for a month." She said, as he looked up and chuckled at her.
"Fine, fine. Either way, I'll be back later, Usa-ko." He said, as she nodded and kissed his cheek, smiling.
"Have fun. Don't kill Goku." She giggled, as he nodded, and took off out the door.
Later on, while she was cooking…
"Vegeta…it's so late. You're never this late." She sighed, as she set the steaks and rice on the table. Vegeta should have been home hours ago… he never left her this alone, not with the baby on the way soon… She looked out the window, as the sun began to set… and she felt a massive Ki. It felt…similar to Frieza's ki, from when they were on Namek. Nodding to herself, she turned off all of the heat, covered up the food, then took off out of the door, getting in the hover-vehicle that Bulma had made, and soaring to the scene…
King Cold pushed the young-looking Saiyan out of the pod with a glare, as the boy tumbled to the ground. Cooler grinned, as the Saiyan growled at them. "Now now, Tarble. Remember…an eye for an eye… Your brother and sister killed my brother. I plan to make them both watch as I return the favor." Cooler said, as Tarble glared. This was not good… Vegeta was here, he could feel it…
Usagi was closest to the scene, and as she pulled up, King Cold grinned. "I sense a high power level, on that ridge there." They left Tarble with the guards, and flew up to take a look, taking her by surprise.
"Well well… I recognize you from the security footage… You're Vegeta's little mate…and it looks like he's been busy with you too…" Cooler grinned, as he grabbed her by the throat and lifted, squeezing her neck.
About 10 minutes away… in Saiyan Flight Time that is…
"Hey, Vegeta? You feel that? It feels like Frieza…and Usagi, both in the same place." Goku said, looking up confused. It was VERY close to Frieza's energy, but not quite there. The same family, definitely…
"I feel it, Kakarott… I need to leave…" Vegeta said, and before Goku could say anything more, Vegeta took off like a bat out of hell, heading to the scene…
Back to Usagi and Cooler…
"Nngh… you won't get away with this, beast…" she said, as he laughed. "Really? Says who? No one is here to save you, little girl! You OR your little brats!" he laughed, as he raised his hand up to strike her down…
Right as a ship of some kind appeared in the gully below. As the door opened, a young man with purple hair and a Saiyan tail stepped out, holding a sword firmly in his hand. He attacked the people holding Tarble, freeing the young Saiyan and helping him up.
Meanwhile, a young woman followed out the boy, mid-length pink pigtails hanging from two bunny-ear shaped odangoes on her head. She also had a tail…and she, unlike her brother, kept some lines of her Saiyan heritage. She had on a Purple Saiyan training uniform, with the addition of an identical jacket as her brother, a denim Capsule Corps jacket.
She headed up the ridge, and smirked at Cooler. "Hey, you that weak that you have to pick on an innocent girl, a pregnant one at that?" the girl asked, as Cooler dropped Usagi to the ground and turned to look at her.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked, as she grinned. "Your worst nightmare." She said, as she tackled him to the ground. At that moment, Vegeta arrived, Piccolo, Goku, Kymri, Krillin, Gohan, Yamcha, and Tien on his tail. Vegeta lifted Usagi to his arms, and he smiled. "Usa-ko… wake up, my Usa-ko." He said, as she groaned and peered at him.
"Vegeta… OH VEGETA! You have to help that girl! She saved me!" Usagi exclaimed, as Vegeta turned to look down at the girl. He then did a double take, and blinked. "…Tarble?" he asked quietly, as Kymri came up to him and gaped.
"Tarble? TARBLE!" she called out happily, a grin on her face. The girl tossed Cooler to the ground, and looked up, grinning a bit, as the boy shook his head, dropping King Cold to the ground. Neither one was moving, and after the boy was done, they were sushi.
Tarble looked up, and grinned. "Kymri! Vegeta! You're alive!" he said, as he jumped up and ran towards Kymri, hugging her tight. "Sister, I missed you!" he said, as she smiled and ruffled his hair.
"Little Tarble… you've gotten so big!" she laughed, and chuckled at him. They then looked down at the boy and girl… "Tarble…are those friends of yours?" she asked, as he shook his head, looking at them with an odd expression. "No… They look…almost Saiyan, but not quite…" he said.
The boy looked to Goku, and waved him over. "Goku! We need to talk to you please…in private!" he said.
*Author's Note: Yes, I added Tarble, Vegeta's CANON little brother. Look him up, he's a real DBZ character. ^_^ Hope you enjoy! More to come!
