Vegeta snarled as the two of them turned the area around them into a blood bath. Every scream of terror only seemed to fuel their desire for destruction. Soldier after soldier, man or woman, it didn't matter. These bastards had gone after their families for the last time. The rest of the galaxy would remember this slaughter for generations to come. No one would stop the Saiyan Empire. No soul stood a chance.
As they stepped over the corpses and into the bunker, the two saiyans growled. They could hear some screams from down the dark hallway. Vegeta snapped his teeth as they flew down that hall, knocking soldiers to the side.
Kakarot grabbed one of the soldiers and pushed his head against the wall as he flew, making the man's head rub raw as he screamed.
Vegeta didn't turn to look at it though. He only laughed as they continued to fly down the hall. The Emperor stopped as they made it to the clamber and looked around. There were still plenty of soldiers running around. Vegeta took a step forward, only to hear the sound of blood under his feet. The emperor let out a roar which shook the room.
All of the soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked over at him. Some dove forward, only for the emperor to blast them to pieces. Kakarot grabbed two through the chest, ripping out their insides in one swift motion.
Another ended up with a kick in the stomach, followed by Kakarot twisting his neck. Bodies were beginning to pile up as the emperor and his captain laid waste to their enemies.
Tarble and Raditz were staring at the place where all of the ships used to be. The prince smirked. "It looks like they'll be taking it from here. Let's get back onto the planet's surface."
"What are we going to do with Betra?" Raditz asked.
Tarble growled, "That scumbag can just stay here and rot for all I care."
While the two of them walked back though, they started to notice something odd. Tarble's eyes landed on what looked like some kind of flopping worms on the ground. "Where did those come from?"
Raditz watched as a saiyan ran from one building to the next, before changing into one of those worms. "It looks like they were a part of Betra's illusion. Now that you're free of her, she sees no reason to keep up the charade."
Tarble gave a disgusted look. "How the hell did I fall for any of this? I'm not an idiot."
Raditz laughed. "Well, you did have your mind on other things. Distractions can do that."
The two of them walked into the temple, but tensed up as they saw blood on the floor. Tarble snarled moving quickly around the temple until he heard some humming from the kitchen. He stormed in, ready to go after Betra, only to find Gure sitting at the table with a baby in her arms. Gure was looking down at the baby with a clear smile on her face. The child burped as it finished its bottle. "I think it's time for a nap." Tarble watched as the baby snuggled in against Gure's chest.
Gure looked up with surprise. "I didn't think you would be back this fast," she said with a smile.
Tarble moved closer. "I…I don't understand."
Gure rocked the baby in her arms. "Betra tried to attack me after you left. But she injured herself, so I had to deliver the baby. She did try to kill me afterward, but that didn't turn out so well for her." Gure looked back down at the boy. "Did it Zoran?"
The baby's tail was wrapped tightly around her wrist as Tarble looked down. "It's a boy?" He couldn't believe that he was a father.
"Did you have a different name in mind?" Gure asked.
Tarble shook his head. "I wasn't even thinking about it." A small smile came to his lips. "He seems to like you."
Gure giggled. "Well, he should. He's my son."
Tarble's eyes went wide as he watched his mate. "I don't deserve you."
"No, you don't." She leaned in and kissed him on the nose. "For some reason, I fell in love with you."
Raditz chuckled behind them, making Tarble jump in embarrassment. "You know as sweet as this is. We should probably head home."
Tarble nodded. "Let's just get Gure's things."
Gure shook her head. "They might be a little destroyed. Betra is still in there."
"We can go then," Raditz said, shooing them out of the kitchen and outside. Gure wasn't letting go of the baby in her arms for a second and Zoran looked quite comfortable. Raditz looked over at the child and he could see why. Zoran had to be a clone of Tarble.
They got onto the ship and Raditz began to get them ready to leave. Gure sat down with Tarble next to her. His tail wrapped around her waist possessively. She giggled. "Do you want to hold him?"
Tarble looked down at his son. "I don't want to disturb him. He looks really comfy right now," Tarble purred. "I would be too, if you were holding me."
Gure turned red. "You did that last night…and this morning if I remember correctly."
Tarble smirked. "True. I plan on doing that tonight as well." He purred into her side. "Until the day I die."
Gure smiled at him. "Let's just get home first. Hopefully, Vegeta has cleaned up your quarters. We're going to need some extra room."
Tarble smiled back. "That can be arranged, my Queen."
Gure shook her head. "I don't think we need to call each other silly names like that."
Tarble smiled. "I guess not, but you're still my Gure."
"Well of course I am," Gure said as the baby's eyes opened, looking at his father. The ship was in the middle of going through the atmosphere. "It looks like someone isn't going to sleep through space."
"He'll sleep when we get back." Tarble started as Gure placed the boy into his arms. Tarble stared down at what had to be his doppelganger. "I'm going to protect you," he said. "You'll not have the life my father gave me."
Gure smiled as Tarble looked like he was about to cry. She just hoped that home wasn't a warzone when they got there.
Bulma turned to Chichi. It was like chaos had erupted in the bunker. Chichi had Gohan in her arms, while Gine stayed close to them with Turles. Next to them, Onna stood with someone new clinging to her. They could hear the screams. There had been a breach.
Gohan wiggled in his mother's arms, the small boy wanted to know what was doing on, but Chichi kept him still. "There were fewer soldiers than before."
"Yeah, it looks like the line has been put down," Gine said, watching as Turles tried to climb on her head.
A pair of animalistic snarls filled the bunker. "Dada," Gohan said.
Chichi looked between her son and the source of the sound. "Goku must have discovered that we were under attack." She made to walk forward as a woman jumped down in front of her. "Commissioner," Chichi hissed as she stared at the gun in her face.
The woman laughed. "This ends now. I will get my revenge."
Electricity snapped and Gine backed away. "Kakarot…" She knew this form. The one that killed her.
The Commissioner turned back at Kakarot, while keeping her gun raised at Chichi. "What are you going to do, Captain? Are you going to watch your beloved mate die or die in her place?"
Chichi took a deep breath, closing her eyes then opening them. She stared at the raged filled man that was her husband. His eyes were following something and she caught on to what he was trying to tell her. Chichi smiled. "The only one that's going to die is you."
Gine knew that Chichi was confident in Kakarot's ability but there was still the small chance that her son could kill them. As she thought it, Kakarot snarled, distracting the Commissioner for a split second in which Chichi was able to back up and kick the blaster out of the woman's hand.
"I suggest the rest of you look away," Chichi said as her mate began to rip the woman to shreds. Her screams filled the bunker, but they were only accompanied by cheers as Vegeta walked through the rest of the bunker. He was covered in blood.
"That looks like everyone down here." The emperor smirked. He had come out of his second form a couple of moments back. "I'll need to access the outside. Hopefully, we have taken them out."
Bulma moved over to him. "I really hope that isn't your blood."
He smirked back. "It's not."
Kakarot snarled as the Commissioner's head rolled across the floor, landing at Chichi's feet. The saiyan captain walked over to his mate; that form hadn't left him.
"Chichi, watch out!" Bulma said in a panic. Gine only stared, hoping that her son would come out of it.
"Did you have your fun, Goku?" Chichi asked, calmly.
Kakarot smirked before leaning down and kissing his mate. "Yes, but I can think of better ways to spend an afternoon." He looked around then smiled, which turned him back into his base form. "It looks like Raditz is on his way back from the moon." Onna smiled while Vegeta breathed a sigh of relief. The ships had to be gone then. The captain's smile grew. "He's not alone though. There are three more kis heading back."
"Three?" Bulma asked. "Why are they bringing back Betra?"
"Probably so that she can be put to trial for treason." Vegeta smirked. It looked like everything was going to be okay. "Let us meet them at the hanger then."
Tarble felt the ship dock into the hanger and took a deep breath. How was he going to explain himself to Vegeta? He knew that he had to have let his brother down. He really didn't mean all of those horrible things he had said to him.
Raditz walked by him. "It's going to be fine. Vegeta will just be glad to have you back."
Tarble shook his head. "I betrayed him."
"He wouldn't have searched for you if he didn't care," Raditz said. "The moment I told him about the ships aiming at the moon, he almost had a panic attack."
Tarble looked down. "I should have never done that to him in the first place. Now he's going to treat me like a child."
"I don't think so," Raditz said as the hatch opened. "He's going to be too busy to do that."
Before Tarble could say anything, Raditz walked out of the ship, leaving Tarble with Gure and Zoran. He looked back at his mate; he didn't want to get off of the ship until she was ready.
As soon as Raditz stepped off the ship, he came face to face with a large group of people, but his eyes moved over to his mate. The smart saiyan had a confused look on his face. "Onna…where did that come from?"
Onna walked forward. "I had her late last night," his mate said. "You were working so your mother came over and helped me." She said as he looked at her in shock. "Dear, you would have been in the way if I had told you."
Raditz looked over at his baby girl, she was curled into her mother. He could see his long hair, but he was thanking Kami that there wasn't that annoying widow's peak of his. There was plenty of her mother in her. Onna pushed the baby into his arms, making him smile. "So, do we have a name?"
"Salot," Onna said, watching him stare down at the small life. "It was your grandmother's name."
Vegeta looked away from the two of them and back to the hanger door. "How are we going to transport Betra to prison?" he asked.
Raditz only laughed at that. "We didn't bring her back. She's dead."
Vegeta and Bulma looked at each other in confusion. "Then why did Kakarot say that there were three people with you?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta heard a cry from inside the ship. He had forgotten that Betra had been with child. Slowly, he saw movement at the doorway. The crying had ceased, but once again Vegeta was really confused as a strange woman came off the ship with a baby in hand. Tarble was talking next to her.
"You're back to you other form, I see?" Bulma giggled. Vegeta's jaw dropped. That was Gure.
Tarble gave his brother a sheepish look as he walked forward. "Vegeta…I…" Before he could finish, he was pulled into a tight hug. "Vegeta, I can't breathe." He heard a sniffing noise and relaxed. "I… I shouldn't have listened to her."
"I should have paid attention," Vegeta said, not releasing him. "If I had only told you what I was going after, then we would have been on the same page."
"But I should have trusted you. You would have never betrayed me," Tarble said, wanting to cry.
"She toyed with your emotions. I should have noticed. You were acting strange, that should have been my clue," Vegeta said, finally giving Tarble some breathing room. "Promise me, that no matter what happens, we will go to each other from now on."
Tarble gave his brother a smile. "As long as I can go back to the lab."
"Who said that you had to leave?" Vegeta asked.
"No one, but I left it over time and I missed it. Besides, with the Commission out of the way, it's all ours," Tarble said. Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "My son deserves a better upbringing than I had and I will make sure that he has it."
Vegeta's eyes turned to his nephew. He didn't really get a good look at the boy, mainly because he didn't know what to expect. Gure was looking down at the bundle with the most loving smile. How could she be so happy about it? It was Tarble's child with that monster, then there was the fact that Tarble was being protective of it. He moved closer and looked down; his eyes went wide as he stared at the child. Its hands moved up and he seriously couldn't believe it. "He really is his father's son," Gure said. Now Vegeta understood. It looked nothing like Betra.
But that wasn't the only thing Vegeta noticed. Gure had a bite mark on the side of her breast. His brother had mated correctly then. "Do you want to hold him?" Tarble asked.
Vegeta felt jumpy as the boy was placed in his arms. "So this is Prince what? He needs a name."
Gure giggled. "I named him Zoran."
Vegeta's eyebrow rose once more. "What kind of name is that?"
Gure rolled her eyes. "It means sunrise."
"Prince Zoran, huh? I'll have to get used to that," Kakarot said walking over with some robot and his father. "I got the health bots out, fixing everyone's wounds, so we can do some relaxing."
Bardock's eyes moved over to Raditz. "So, the kit's been born. Took him long enough…"
"Dad, it's a girl," Raditz said.
Kakarot and Bardock looked at the baby as she made to climb up her father's chest. "A girl?"
Onna rolled her eyes. "Someone had to have one."
"Who knows, I might have one." Bulma said, making Vegeta laugh. "Well it's the truth."
As an argument began though, the small robot moved over to Gure, pricking her quickly. She stared at Tarble in confusion, until the robot said something that would bring her to tears. "Congratulations."
Everyone stopped arguing to stare at Gure. Raditz then chuckled. "It looks like you've been busy, Tarble."
Tarble turned bright red. He had no idea that he could even have a child with Gure. "Like you're one to talk."
Raditz continued to laugh. "If I remember correctly, how was it that Gure saved you?"
"That's none of your business!" Tarble growled.
Gure smiled. "Well, I had to play dirty, even if I wasn't trying to at first." She sighed. "I'm going to have to toss out this outfit, I really liked it too."
"So did I," Tarble said under his breath, but everyone laughed.
"I think you preferred taking them off," Gure said with a smile.
Tarble smirked for a second, and then shook his head. "Let's not talk about my sex life."
"You think that's bad," Chichi said, making everyone turn to stare at her. "You should have seen Goku after we mated." Kakarot turned magenta. "He couldn't keep his hands off of me for 5 minutes."
Bulma stared at Chichi with a puzzled look. "How many times did you do it before you had Gohan?" She was just curious.
Chichi sighed as she thought it over. "I have no idea. I think maybe 50 or 60."
"When did you sleep?" Onna asked.
Bardock had turned to his son with grin, but he wasn't the only one. Vegeta and Raditz were laughing. "I think all we did for three weeks straight was eat, have sex, and sleep," Chichi answered.
"Didn't you say you were going to be celibate?" Vegeta teased.
"If you had that wonderful smell locked with you on a ship, what would you do?!" Kakarot huffed.
"Fair point," Raditz said. "I just didn't think that my little brother would be such a sex fiend."
Kakarot growled under his breath as Tarble moved back over to Vegeta. He was looking down at his son. "So everything if finally ours."
Vegeta smirked. "Yes. Finally, our empire is complete."
"Our children will remember this for years to come," Tarble said.
Vegeta grinned back. "Immortality is ours, Tarble."
"That it is," Tarble agreed. "But our Empire has just begun."
"Let's make sure that it's an Empire that our children will be proud to rule." Vegeta looked down at his nephew. "Where no one is left in the darkness ever again."
"No one will stand against us. We will conquer all," Tarble proclaimed. "Glory is in our reach."
"I really did miss you," Vegeta said as Zoran's tail moved around his wrist.
Tarble smiled at his brother. "I'll never leave your side again, brother. Let us build this empire together."
"Should I call you King Tarble?" Vegeta teased.
"Please don't call me that," Tarble said, turning green.
Vegeta smirked down at his nephew. This truly was the beginning of the grandest empire the galaxy had ever known. He would make sure of it. They would not die out. His legacy was secured. His greatest dream was realized. The Saiyan Empire was here to stay.
The End…until the epilogue
