Chapter 46
What Should I Do?
Those people who carelessly showed their emotions rushed towards their dead hero with joy. Goku chuckled with joy as countless of people hugged him. Some had tears flowing down their faces and some tried their best to keep their faces stoic.
Gohan hugged his father tightly along with his mother and other members of the Z Fighters. Kaiser stood a few feet away with a smile. Vegeta, who stood next to his sons, kept his stoic expression which was evenly matched with Piccolo's. Videl stood next to Kaiser wondering what she should do but she wasn't the only one thinking that, two little demi Saiyans were as lost as she was.
Brila couldn't help but go up to Goku with a hug. After all, he was Kaiser's half brother. It was something unexpected for her to find out but she could deal with it. 18 looked away from the scene as it didn't seem of any relevance to her.
"It's so good to be back." Goku said as he finished hugging the crowd. "Look at you three. How you have grown. " The cheerful Saiyan said as he turned his attention to Gohan, Kaiser and Brila. "I used to watch over you guys but seeing you like this in person is different and so much better."
"Dad." Gohan said gaining Goku's attention. "There are two people I'd like you to meet." He said as he led his father to his brother and the love of his life.
"Oh I know them." Goku said with his goofy grin. "It's an honor to meet my son's girlfriend." He said he held out his hand. He was surprised when he was hugged by the pig tailed girl.
"The honor is all mine Goku and thank you for accepting me." She said as she stepped away from him with a content smile. Goku returned that smile with his own and then he got down on knee to meet the son he never got to meet.
"Hey there little guy." Goku said as he put his hand on the demi Saiyan's head.
"Are…Are you my d-daddy?" Goten asked shyly.
"That's right. I am your daddy." Goku said with a smile. Goten giggled happily and jumped into Goku's arms as he squealed with joy. Goku hugged his son as tears threatened to escape his eyes. He was so happy to finally meet his son. He would talk about Goten and the rest of his family everyday in the otherworld. He looked up to see his two fiercest rivals and gave them a respectful nod. Vegeta merely scoffed and Piccolo gave him a nod and a stern smile in return.
Finally, there was one last person to formally meet. Goku put his son down and walked over to Kaiser with a smile. Kaiser looked back at him as he rivaled the older Saiyan's height.
"It's good to see you Goku." Kaiser said with a smile.
"There's no difference after all." Goku chuckled making Kaiser raise an eye brow. "Between yours and your mother's smile."
Kaiser chuckle silently but then he did something that no one could have ever expected. He drove his fist into Goku's gut making the older Saiyan clutch his stomach in pain.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MAKING ME LOSE!" He growled. Everyone except for 18, Vegeta and Piccolo fell over however, smirks formed on the trio's face.
"Ow…" Goku whimpered.
"KAISER!" Gohan and Brila gasped.
"What?"
"He just came back! Couldn't you wait to punch him later on?" Gohan groaned.
"He had it coming." Kaiser stated.
"Oh Kaisy. You shouldn't go around punching people." Brila giggled.
"No it's okay." Goku chuckled. "It was because of me that Kaiser lost that day."
"My brat would've beaten your brat easily and he's going to do it this time too." Vegeta smirked. "Today the Saiyan elite will triumph."
"We'll see Vegeta. I haven't stopped training in the otherworld."
"Neither have I Kakarot."
"Since we have the pleasantries over and done with." Kaiser paused as his eyes travelled over to the fighters heading over to the sign up desk. "We should get signed up." He suggested.
He was met by several nods and thus they began making their way to the desk. Trunks tugged on his brother's pants wanting to ask him a question.
"Um…Kaiser?" The demi Saiyan said.
"Hm?"
"That man is Goten's father right?"
"Yes he is."
"Why did you punch him?"
"Because he helped Gohan to defeat me in the last tournament." Kaiser chuckled. "I told you about that didn't I?"
Trunks nodded and proceeded with his next question. "Is he strong?"
"Very strong."
"Stronger than you?"
"Oh come on Trunks. You know no one is stronger than I am." Kaiser said playfully as he ruffled the demi Saiyan's hair.
"Name please." The attendant asked Kaiser who was first in line.
"Kaiser Vegeta Briefs." He said shocking the attendant.
"Y-You're related to the Briefs?!" He asked hoping to get an autograph or a free gadget but his question remained unanswered. "Next…" He said with fallen spirits.
"Brila Briefs." Brila said with a smile. The attendant opened his mouth to ask her if she was related to the Briefs but she was gone.
"Next…"
"Vegeta Briefs." Vegeta grunted and walked away. The attendant groaned and proceeded with the process.
"Next…"
"Trunks Briefs." Trunks said excitedly. The attendant was definitely going to ask this one.
"Are you related to the Briefs?"
"Are you dense? Of course I am! My last name is Briefs you oaf." Trunks said as he narrowed his eyes at the attendant.
"Can I have a free gadget?" He asked uneasily.
"I can give you a free punch." Trunks said impatiently.
"How old are you?" The attendant groaned at being told off by a kid.
"Seven."
"I am going to sign you up for the junior division."
"What? Why?" The demi Saiyan snapped.
"New rules. Sorry."
"Darn it." Trunks hissed as he stepped away from the attendant.
"Next…"
"Gohan Son."
"It sounds familiar." The attendant said silently to himself. "Next."
"Goku Son." Goku grinned, happy to be back at the tournament.
"Now that definitely sounds familiar." He thought wanting to ask this Goku Son some questions but said Saiyan walked off. "Next…" He said half heartedly but when he looked up, he recognized a fighter who had done well in the last tournament and was also the world's most favorite teenager.
"Ms. Videl Satan!" The attendant smiled. "It's good to see you again. How's your father?"
That was something the pig tailed girl did not want to answer. Heck, she didn't even know how he was doing. The attendant raised an eye brow at her silence but his was question was answered when he saw a crowd gather around the fake champion.
"I guess that answers my question." He chuckled. Videl smiled uneasily and rushed to Gohan.
"Gohan…" Videl started out hoping for some comfort.
"I know. Don't worry. He won't do anything." Gohan said reassuringly. Videl felt relieved when those words left his mouth and she felt even more relieved to see all her friends with her. Kaiser, Brila, Goten, Trunks, Goku, Vegeta and all the rest. They weren't her friends. They were her family.
"I am going to bitch slap him if he lays a finger on me." Kaiser grunted.
"What about me?" Videl whined jokingly.
"What about you?" He smirked.
"Nasty Kaisy." Brila giggled.
"So now it's Nasty Veg-" Gohan said but before he could complete the prince's name, he was punched on the head by said prince. "OW!"
"No one calls me that!" Vegeta spat.
"I can." Brila said with a smirk. Vegeta just snarled and moved on.
"How come he goes easy on you?" Gohan whimpered.
"That's a good question. If I call him something like that he'll beat the crap out of me." Kaiser groaned.
"That's a girl's secret, isn't it Bri." Videl smirked.
"It sure is. Would you like to know the secret V?" Brila asked as she shot the two male Saiyans a smirk.
"Hell yeah!" Videl said with joy as the two began their little conversation.
Kaiser merely smiled while Gohan groaned even louder. He didn't like getting punched. There was only one way he could make the prince stop and he was sure that it was going to work.
"Dad! Tell Vegeta to stop punching me!"
"Vegeta! Stop punching Gohan."
"Kakarot! Tell your son to grow a pair."
"Gohan! Vegeta is telling you to grow some pears. Grow them well, I feel kinda hungry." Goku chuckled. Vegeta burst out laughing while Gohan's jaw dropped. Even Kaiser overheard the conversation and burst out laughing. Goku was left puzzled as to why the ones who overheard their conversation laughed so uncontrollably.
"Well, didn't that backfire." Kaiser chuckled.
"Damn it…" Gohan cursed.
The Z Fighters moved along to the changing rooms where most of them could gear up but of course the Saiyans and Piccolo didn't need to change. Their everyday clothing consisted of their fighting gi which would imply that they needed a new wardrobe but that was of course not the case. Piccolo didn't enter the changing room and waited outside with the Saiyans.
Those who needed to change came out quickly and went ahead to the fighter's arena. Upon entering the arena, they noticed that there were a lot lesser fighters compared to the last tournament.
"I guess most people chickened out after seeing us fight." Kaiser remarked.
"I am not surprised." Videl added.
"My brother's super glare must've scared them off!" Trunks said proudly.
"His glare so cool!" Goten added.
"It's supposed to be intimidating." Kaiser groaned.
"At least it works on your enemies." Brila giggled.
"You two should get going to the junior barracks. You wouldn't want to be late for your matches." Gohan said. The two demi Saiyans nodded and dashed away to their barracks.
"I wonder what it will be this time." Kaiser said.
"What do you mean?" The demi Saiyan asked.
"Last year they had that punching machine remember?"
"Oh yeah! I hope they have something less troublesome."
"Quite the opposite." Brila said.
"This year's qualification process will be a battle royal." Videl said. "Didn't you two read the whole article?"
"Nope." The two male Saiyans said in unison making Videl and Brila rolled their eyes at their laziness.
"It's pretty simple this year. This year we're going to have a battle royal." Videl said excitedly as she really liked this idea.
"Battle royal? I like the sound of that." Gohan said.
"I know right?! Me too! Anyway, we should knockout those who approach us because I am sure none of you guys want to waste your energy on anyone and no one from our group must knockout the other because we all want to fight each other right?" Videl paused to see several nods. "The last 16 to remain standing will go on to the next round."
"And where exactly will this battle royal take place?" Gohan asked.
"On a separate yet larger ring on the right side of the island." Videl replied.
"Now we all know what to do and I am sure you guys like the idea of a battle royal. I personally like it a lot because it's so convenient." Brila giggled. "Anyway, did everyone get that?" She needn't ask. Everyone there had super sensitive ears so they all got that.
"There weren't that many entrants for the Junior Division. There were 34 in total and the prize money is slightly lesser than the Adult Division and the winner gets to fight with Mr. Satan." Brila explained the rest.
"Awesome! That means that either Trunks or Goten will beat up Mr. Satan!" Gohan said excitedly.
"My brat will beat up that oaf for sure." Vegeta spat at his rival.
"We'll see Vegeta and besides, my family always has been a cut above the rest." Goku smirked.
"You cheated in the last tournament you low class wretch."
"Who transformed into a Super Saiyan first?"
"Who got his ass kicked by a stupid virus?"
"Who got beat up by a woman?"
"Who got killed by a bug?"
"Hey, he was a very strong bug."
"Save it for the match you two." Kaiser said making the two veteran Saiyans chuckle softly. These two rivals missed these conversations they used to have with each other. They couldn't wait to fight each other when the time came.
The blonde announcer with his usual sunglasses stepped up to the stage and began his announcement. "Welcome fighters!" He cheered receiving roars from majority of the fighters.
"As most of you know, we had to cancel our past few tournaments due to the damage done to the island but now all that is behind us and we can finally start the 26th World Martial Arts Tournament!" He cheered.
"I wonder where my father is." Videl said wondering why he didn't make any efforts to talk to her whether it may be with negative or positive intent. "Kaiser? Could you tell me where my father is?"
"You could find out yourself. He is on the island ya know." Kaiser replied.
"I know but sensing ki is not something I am good at." She said with an apologetic grin.
"He's in the VIP building on the end of the island." Kaiser said as he wished that the announcer would get to the point already.
"How do you know that there's a VIP building on the island?" Brila asked.
"I saw it when we reached the island." Kaiser replied. "This clown is taking too long." He snarled at the announcer who kept talking away.
"Your mother was right." Goku chuckled. "You're starting to talk a lot like Vegeta and father."
"She said that?" Kaiser chuckled.
"Yeah. Kaiser?" Goku said with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
"Yes?"
"There's something important I had to tell you." Goku said as he stepped next to his half brother.
"What is it?"
"It's about Hell Kaiser."
Kaiser's eyes widened at this and he hoped that his evil counterpart hadn't been causing any trouble in H.F.I.L. "What about him?"
"King Yenma asked me to tell you this. Your mother, father, Soba, King Yenma and I have been noticing that he is truly connected to you even if he's outside your body because he's getting stronger and he isn't even training." Goku paused as he studied Kaiser's worried expression. "Don't worry, he isn't doing anything bad. The worst he has done was to beat the living daylights out of…you know." He said meaning Kaiser's real father.
"Something tells me there's more." Kaiser said.
"Indeed. King Yenma doesn't quite trust Hell Kaiser and wishes to remove him from existence with the help of the Grand Kai and other high authority figures."
"Wait! You want to remove him from existence?!" Kaiser said in disbelief.
"I have no say in this. King Yenma decided that it would be best but the thing is the choice is yours."
"Mine?"
"That is correct. If you wish for him to be erased then it will happen immediately." Goku explained.
"My answer is no." Kaiser said without hesitation.
"Are you sure you don't want to think about this?" Goku asked.
"Hell Kaiser is part of me. I know what he did was wrong but people can be forgiven." He paused as he remembered his encounter against his evil counterpart. "Does he know about this?"
"He does."
"And what's his take on this?"
"He doesn't want to go out like that. He wishes to live on. I mean, die on?" Goku said unsurely.
"What do you guys think I should do? I don't like playing God and neither do I want him to die." Kaiser said hoping to get advice from his friends.
"Let him exist Kaisy. You said it yourself. Everyone deserves a second chance." Brila said with a warm smile.
"She's right K. As much as I don't care about his well being, he's still part of you and just based on that, he should continue to exist." Gohan said with a reassuring smile.
"I am not in the position to say anything since I don't know much about this situation but I say that you should cut the guy some slack." Videl giggled.
"There you go Goku." Kaiser smiled. "I don't care what Chewbacca (A.N: A character from Star Wars) has to say. My decision is for him to continue existing."
"Well said. Your folks in the Otherworld will be happy with this decision." Goku said. "Oh look, he's getting to the point."
"Finally!" Kaiser cheered.
"Now it's time for us to find our final 16 contestants! This year's challenge is a battle royal!" He said as he receiving roars from the fighters. "I will lead you all to the right side of the island where you'll all see a larger ring then the one we have for our fights. All of you have to do is stay in the ring and be one of the last 16 to proceed to the next round. You can be eliminated through three ways which is submission, knockout or ring out." He paused as he let the information sink in.
"Now if you'll follow me, I will lead you to the battle royal arena." The announcer said as he led the fighters to the other arena.
As the Z Fighters began moving, a fat giant bumped into Brila. "Hey! Watch where you're going or I'll-"
"You'll die if you don't walk away." Kaiser said in the coldest tone with the deadliest look. The giant fighter tried his best to run out of the arena as fast as he could so this demon wouldn't harm in. "Pah, what a wimp."
"You didn't have to be so mean to him." Brila giggled.
"I did it because I love you." Kaiser said as he pecked her lips with his own.
"You gotta teach me how to do that." Gohan said. That deadly look could prove to be vital at some point.
"I am not sure if I can. I think it kinda runs in the family." Kaiser chuckled.
"I am sure your real mother wouldn't be capable of such a thing." Videl said questioningly.
"Oh you would be surprised." It was Goku who had spoken up this time. He knew first hand that Lila could be a very scary woman sometimes. Maybe scary is an understatement. She is scary enough to have him, his father and Soba shaking in their boots.
The fighters entered the new arena and were quite surprised by the size of the ring they had to fight in for the battle royal. It was twice as big as the standard ring but it made sense since there were over a hundred contestants in the battle royal
"Contestants! Please enter the ring!" He instructed and the fighters did as they were told. They entered the ring and glared daggers at each other.
"There he is." Gohan noted Mr. Satan step into the ring.
"Now I know who to go after." Vegeta said with a deadly smirk.
"You will do no such thing." Kaiser halted his father, shocking everyone in the process.
"And why not?" The prince spat.
"Think Vegeta." Brila said as she read her mate's mind. "If you knock him out now, it will be considered bad luck on his end through everyone's eyes since there are so many people in one ring. We must make the world believe that he's nothing but a cheat."
Vegeta let the information sink in and crossed his arm with a smirked and looked at his son for further explanation. "Eventually, one of us would have to fight him and when the time comes, we'll beat the crap out of him." Kaiser paused as he glanced over to Videl. "And I am sure all of us are willing."
"You bet we are." The pig tailed girl replied as she cracked her knuckles.
"I suggest that we should all stand in a circle and knock out whoever comes towards us." Gohan suggested. The gang accepted this and stood in a circle. Kaiser and Gohan, on instinct, stood slightly in front of their mates as an act to protect them. Not that they needed it but they still went ahead with it. The two girls thought that this was a very cute act and giggled at their over protectiveness.
"You don't have to protect us." Videl giggled.
Gohan gave her a warm smile in response and said, "I feel that it is my duty."
"You don't deserve to be touched by these pitiful fighters." Kaiser smirked.
"That's not very nice." Brila said disapprovingly. He didn't have to be so mean about it.
"I am only joking. Protecting what's precious is a natural instinct to us, isn't it G?" Kaiser said.
"It sure is." Gohan replied with a smile.
"Contestants! BEGIN!" The blonde announcer roared and the fighters erupted in roars as they launched themselves at each other.
"This is boring." Kaiser said as he saw all the fighters fighting with each other. No one had yet approached them yet and it was bugging him." I could throw everyone out within a second."
"I could throw everyone out within a tenth of a second." Vegeta smirked.
"You wanna race old man?!" Kaiser growled.
"Bring it brat!" Vegeta spat back but they were interrupted when someone punched Kaiser's face. All the Z Fighters widened their eyes when the son of the prince had been punched. The person who had punched him stood there with a smirk on his face.
"He's dead." Gohan stated.
"Now Kaisy, calm down." Brila tried to calm him down but she knew it wouldn't work.
"Kick his ass already!" Videl smirked evilly. She wanted to see some action.
"Oh dear…" Goku said under his breath.
"If I were you, I would run." Piccolo told the bulky fighter who punched Kaiser. Not that he cared; he just found this situation quite amusing. His eyes narrowed when he could hear hysteric laughter from the Saiyan prince.
"D-Did you just punch me?" Kaiser said with his killer glare. The tall bulky man felt as if the devil was standing right in front of him. Him being scared was an understatement.
"I-I…I am sor-" He stuttered but he couldn't complete his apology as Kaiser hit him as softly as he could in blind rage. Unfortunately for the unknown fighter, his softest punch was able to knock him out of the island faster than anyone could see.
"Damn man…" Videl giggled. "You need to calm down."
"I AM CALM!" He growled making everyone chuckle. Even Vegeta, Piccolo and 18 had smirks on their stoic faces.
During the next thirty minutes, the Z Fighters eliminated whoever came towards them and it was fun on their end because there was no effort involved. Kaiser ducked under a right hook and returned it with his own which sent his opponent out of the ring. Brila knocked her opponent out cold before he could make his move. Gohan kneed his opponent and then delivered a quick chop on the back of his head to put him to sleep. Videl threw a ki blast faster than most human eyes could see which swept her opponent off his feet sending him flying out of the ring. Vegeta was quite ruthless when it came to knocking out his opponents. He hit them all with bone shattering attacks where as Goku punched them softly while putting an amused expression. Piccolo tried his best to avoid conflict, occasionally moving behind his friends so they could take care of them. 18 and Krillen took their opponents out together swiftly and without attracting too much attention.
Then something caught Gohan's attention. He was surprised that the rest of the Z Fighters didn't notice but he did. On the other end of the ring, he saw a short man with a white mohawk and the oddest thing about him was his skin color which was pale purple. He wore a pair of earrings and wore quite the odd clothes too. He stood with a taller man with long white hair and pink skin color. They seemed to be effortlessly eliminating their opponents and it seemed to the demi Saiyan that they weren't here for the tournament.
"Hey K." Gohan said as he nudged his best friend who had just slapped another contestant out of the ring.
"Hm?" He grunted as he turned to the demi Saiyan.
"What do you think about those two?" Gohan asked as he pointed towards the mystery duo. Kaiser studied them for a few brief moments and then a smirk surfaced on his lips.
"What do you think?" Gohan asked quizzically. What could he possibly found so funny?
"Looks like Piccolo won't feel left out." Kaiser laughed loudly. "I mean look! We got Mr. Green!" He said as he pointed at Piccolo. "And we got Mr. Purple and Pink."
Gohan couldn't help but laugh. He tried to be serious but this was too funny. "No but seriously, what do you make of them?"
"I am not too sure." Kaiser chuckled as he tried his best to regain his composure. "They seem to be suppressing their ki."
"How powerful are they at this moment compared to us?" Gohan asked with slight concern.
"The way they are now, Videl could take em but once they let go of their restraints, the short one might just give Brila trouble." Kaiser said as he studied them carefully.
"As Super Saiyan 2?" Gohan gasped. If they could match Brila at her max then it could be troublesome.
"Of course not. Her base form should be enough to take care of the short one." Kaiser smiled.
"And the tall one?" Gohan asked.
"He's no trouble. He's quite weak actually." Kaiser remarked.
"Oh would you look at that." Gohan said. "We're all done; there are only 16 of us left."
Kaiser was so into the conversation he was having with his best friend that he didn't notice the lack of fighters. From what he could see and what he had expected all along, the Z Fighters qualified, Mr. Satan made sure to be out of the way and knocked out all the small fry, the two guys on steroids with the strange 'M' mark on their foreheads, the two people with the colored faces, the really huge yet fast fat man with a pony tail and some weirdo with hood covering his face which was meant to be a mask.
"This brings the end to our battle royal and the contestants who have qualified are as follows; Mr. Satan, Yammu, Spopovitch, Pintar, Mighty Mask, Shin, Kibito, Krillen, 18, Piccolo, Kaiser, Brila, Videl, Gohan, Vegeta and Goku!" He cheered. No one seemed to celebrate except for Mr. Satan who roared loudly even though there was no crowd to cheer him on.
"Pah, what an idiot." Vegeta snorted.
"All right contestants! Your opponents will be decided after a short break. You may take this time to explore the island, get something to eat or watch our junior fighters fight!" He cheered and dismissed the fighters as he returned to his barracks. The arena lost more and more people as Shin and Kibito walked off before the announcer was done. The two men who looked as if they were on steroids did the same. Mr. Satan returned to his VIP barracks but not before he shot Videl a dirty look. The other two fighters walked off too leaving the Z Fighters alone in the arena.
"I guess we should get something to eat first." Goku suggested. "The kids must've just started the tournament and the first few fights will be kinda boring."
"Let me be judge of that." Kaiser said as he dematerialized and materialized back a second later. "Turns out that Goten and Trunks will fight each other in the final round. We have about an hour for them to get to the semi finals so we can take our time."
"Alright then! Let's get something to eat." Brila said excitedly and with that, Earth's special forces made their way to the cafeteria.
The waiters the tournament organizers had hired had never worked like this before. There was literally no break for the entire hour and they were all busy serving one table. Most of the Z Fighters were eating like pigs while some ate like normal people and only two hardly ate anything.
All the Saiyans ate like there was no tomorrow. Brila ate almost as much as her fellow Saiyans but managed to eat in a civilized way. Videl's appetite had increased over the months but it was still nowhere near as much as her friends. Krillen and Videl ate almost the same amount while 18 only ate a bowl of rice with a drink. Piccolo was the only one who didn't eat anything; he just drank two glasses of water. Kaiser saw this and decided to mock him.
"Come on Piccolo. Even plants must get hungry sometimes." Kaiser chuckled. Piccolo snarled at him and sipped away at his drink.
"Don't be so mean Kaiser." Videl said. "It's not his fault that his biology is that of a plant." Videl burst out in laughter making everyone on the table laugh. Piccolo smirked at them and turned all of their food into water.
"HEY!" The Saiyans growled.
"Don't you hey me." Piccolo snarled. "That's what you get and besides, it's time we got going." He said as he got up from the table.
All the Saiyans shot him an evil look but decided to save it for the tournament. They walked over to the junior section and in the way they saw a few bruised kids making their home with their parents or other family members. Kaiser could sense his brother's energy on most of them and it made laugh softly.
"Looks like the kids had a little fun." He said.
"I hope they didn't beat em to the extent to make these kids stop fighting." Gohan said.
"Hey, I got killed while fighting." Kaiser remarked. "You didn't see me quitting."
"Not everyone's you Kaisy." Brila giggled as she latched onto his arm.
"You two should get a room." Gohan said in an annoyed tone.
"Maybe we should too Gohan." Videl said as she latched onto his arm.
Goku watched as the four friends engaged in a conversation different things. The veteran Saiyan felt happy to see his son and half brother so happy with their lovers. He missed this so much and sometimes he felt that there was no longer any threat on the planet and he might want to return but he wasn't too sure but right now wasn't the time to think about this. He considered himself lucky to see his family and friends alive and happy. He felt quite relieved. He glanced over to his rival who had his customary stoic expression on his face. He was happy to see him too. They might be eternal rivals but in a weird way they were also best friends.
"Hey Vegeta?"
"What is it Kakarot?"
"How does it feel to wake up every morning and know that you'll be able to see your wife and kids?"
"It's a feeling that you have forgotten."
"What should I do Vegeta? I want to come back but I don't know if I should…"
"What makes you think that our enemies only come because of you?"
"Well…I…"
"If you wouldn't have destroyed the Red Ribbon Army back then, you would've been dead and the planet would've been a wasteland and the solar system would be probably be gone too if Cell was to absorb the Androids."
Goku was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to make of this.
"What you did was selfish, Kakarot."
"Selfish? I did it for the Earth and everyone on it."
"You never thought of the consequences did you?"
"Consequences?"
"Your second child had to grow up without a father and Gohan came over several times to our house just to talk to me or Bulma because he was made the man of the house at just the age of 11. It put him under a lot of pressure and since Kaiser was dead too, things just went from bad to worse. The only thing that kept him going and determined was my brat's mate, his brother, Trunks and his mother."
"I…"
"I know you want nothing but peace Kakarot but there were other ways. You could've stayed and trained and fought off any threat but you chose not to. Not that it was unjust but it wasn't fair on our end. I know you meant well but you didn't consider everyone's opinion."
"…What should I do?"
"I will tell you to come back so I can beat your lower class ass whenever I want but that's just me. If you want an answer that will influence your decision, then ask your family. My opinion doesn't matter however my advice does and if you need more advice, ask my brat. As young as he is, he's smart."
Goku took a moment to let all sink in and then gave his rival a smile. "Thank you Vegeta. This really means a lot to me."
"Whatever." The prince grunted.
The Z Fighters reached the balcony and their timing was most impeccable. The final was just about to start and they also got the best view and thanks to their enhanced vision, they'd be able to say anything.
"May the better brother win." Kaiser said as he held his fist forward to Gohan.
Gohan smiled to him and said, "May the better brother win." He connected his fist with Kaiser's fist.
"Ladies and gentlemen! These two fighters have effortlessly beaten all of their opponents. This is going to be quite the fight indeed as two juggernauts will collide with each other!" He cheered as he got a round of applause from the crowd. "Let me introduce you to our first finalist! He's the son of Goku Son who was a previous champion. Everyone please help me welcome Goten Son!"
Goten made his way to the ring, blushing and scratching the back of his head. He had never heard so many people cheer for him.
"Our other finalist is the son of the richest woman on the planet! The glamorous and beautiful Bulma Briefs! Give it up for Trunks Briefs!" He cheered and Trunks made began making his way to the ring but he was as cool as a cucumber. He was used to people cheering him on or adoring him since he got to go with his mother and brother to meetings or product advertising. Being part of the Briefs family had its perks.
"You're going to lose Goten. I have been training with my brother, my sister and my father day and night." Trunks said with a smirk that resembled his brother's and father's smirk.
"Oh yeah?! Well, I have been training with my big brother, my big sister and my mother." Goten retaliated.
"Ooooh your mother. I am so scared." Trunks mocked him. Goten growled at him and jumped into his stance.
"It'll be pretty embarrassing if you lose ya know?" Goten smirked. "Being trained by three powerful people should make you win without a doubt." He taunted him.
"And it will." Trunks said as he jumped into his stance.
"May the better fighter win." Goten said honorably.
"Yeah. May the better fighter win." Trunks replied with a smile.
"Contestants! Begin!" The blonde announcer yelled and with that the two demi Saiyans launched themselves at each other.

VegetaFan4Ever: I really hope you're fine now. Take whatever medicines you need. I wouldn't want you to stay sick for too long. It would make me happy to see or read you back to a 100 percent. I am sorry for not putting you in this chapter but I can guarantee you that you'll be there in the next chapter. I just couldn't find any space for you. Please forgive me. Haha I knew that I would get something wrong. I should've done my research but I felt kinda lazy and I have not been at my strongest lately. Physically or mentally. I hope there are laughable parts in this chapter too. I am sure there is one that you'll absolutely like. The pear one lol. Sorry for the late update but I hope that this is worth it.
