Gohan with all his was trying to bring out his rage on the edge of a cliff overlooking the city. His aura was turning gold as Tarble yelled at him.

"Don't you see it Gohan! They're killing you dad and Trunks. He's hurting Videl and raping your mother!"

Gohan was screaming but then the aura broke, and he collapsed to the ground panting he said, "It was too much."

"Damn you were really close too." (He yawned trying to aggravate Gohan.) "You ready to give it up yet Bulma says that she needs to take some measurements for my arm."

Gohan was sweating profusely sat down with a thud "So Sensei you think aggravating me will get me to turn."

Tarble sighed "Worth a shot, but I suppose you need a break. My first student dying on me won't look too good."

There was a pause as simply Tarble looked at the city and Gohan got that same feeling that he got from his father sometimes. It was like he was a million miles away.

Gohan mulling things over "Would he hurt Videl and well…?"

Tarble looked at him with intense eyes and cut him off "Absolutely. I've seen it."

Gohan knew he was in dangerous waters, but he had to push it further. "Sensei I'm having a hard time seeing it. Feel free to say no but I…"

"You want to hear the whole story I get it. Fine! If it gets us closer to killing that monster."

I was a more whole man back then, I worked as a farm hand growing turnips. It was the only work I could really get. Tech-Tech was a nice place that harbored some dark truths. I got stares all the time. Never did they call me 'Monkey' to my face. But as enlightened as they pretended to be, I was an outcast.

I looked odd and I was from what they considered a primitive culture. I was an oddity that children stared at and that was for Tech-Techs was freaking large. Funny I'm a dwarf to my people and humans but I'm a giant to them.

It was fine though because I was a freak to my own people too. They liked to fight, I didn't. I was weak they were not. Funny too because compared to the Tech-Techs I was unthinkably strong.

I suppose I have that in common with Kakarrot. To my own I was a weakling but to them I was friggin superman, but while he looked like his adoptive culture I didn't.

No other jobs that required my brain ever came to me. They would say nice things, but the message was 'We think your too stupid to do this job. You're a monkey, stick to lifting things and breaking things.'

Some days I woke up angry. I wasn't a person; I was a tail to them. Some days I just wanted to find my brother and take some of this out on someone. That changed though when me and Gure feel in love.

She was different from them. I actually was a person to her not just a tail. We may have not been compatible as it were, but she cared about me and I wasn't a freak to her. We got married despite lots of angry from my adoptive parents and her parents. They kicked us out by we managed to not live in the streets. We were mending ties until one day. When all of what I just said stopped coming close to mattering.

It was a warm summers day. It was going to break records. I was working the fields as she worked her desk job. When the shadow came overhead. It was the 'Malice'. His flagship.

Tech-Tech nor its people have any importance strategically. They were like the Tuffles in retrospect. Lot of kinds words without any meaning to them. They were vegetarians, hadn't gone to war in generations and stayed out of most galaxy politics.

They were neutral and like to stay that way. They payed tribute to whomever asked and was willing to kiss whatever ass was ended to stay out of it.

Unfortunately, they made one wrong move accepting me. In a way, I caused what happened.

Malice just started dropping its army down as the fleet arrived everywhere. Everyone was screaming. They just started slaughtering them all. No demands were made. They never asked for anything they just started killing.

I never liked fighting or training. Didn't like to get hurt or hurt someone else but that went out the window that day.

First one I killed a Terran with a flamethrower burning a school down with them still inside. All of my training from family seemed to just come to me then. I ripped him apart then his squad then another. Can't say I remember all of that day.

I wasn't really thinking, I was just doing. I killed maybe a thousand of them and managed to find Gure, but my success didn't last.

I was hugging her having saved her from them along with her co-workers when he showed up.

His kami-damn smile I see it every fucking night. He landed his words were 'Well I have been misinformed. I was under the impression that you we're a weak coward, but here you are cake in my men's blood. It actually quite relieving to tell you the truth. I thought that this won't be any funny but you 've managed to prove me wrong.'

In a blind rage I charged him. I guess I figured that hey I killed all of guys why not him? I was soon proven quite wrong on that fact. In two moves I was smashed against a metal building unable to move my entire broken body.

'Well, isn't that a shame you really haven't been working out have you?' His eyes found her and he grabbed her pulling her off the ground. 'Sorry girly. Your man seems to not have this one at all. He tried…' He shrugged 'but he failed.'

He looked at me 'You know I know your angry right now. You're have a bad day to put it mildly. Nothing is going right. Everything around is burning, including the people. But I have a philosophy I would like to share with you right now. Why so serious? You think any of this shit matters? Someone was going to come along and do this. Everything is going to burn. Everyone going to die. If you want proof look no further, then what I'm about to do.' (He put his and on her head.) I tried to move tried to get up, but it was all for not. 'Think of it like this. For the rest of your life I'm give you a purpose.'

I couldn't look away. I was staring into her eyes as he crushed her skull like it was a… watermelon.

Very thing went black in that moment. It was like I lost myself completely. I don't even know if I knew my own name. I was purely an emotion right then and there. Rage. That's all I was. I was pure. Every part of me was just here to kill him.

It all snapped, and the power came like that. I needed to rip him apart. I needed to kill him after that who cares.

The power that my brother and father sought all their life. I got, and I didn't even notice it.

Kakarrot looked shocked for a second but then looked like my people excited at a good fight. I should have known that he was playing with me he didn't even transform at first.

He was allowing himself to get pummeled by me for shits and giggles, but I was in a blind rage. I put everything into those kicks and punches, but it wasn't enough.

He got free of me then transformed, then he began to demonstrate how fucked I was. He was faster, stronger and better trained. Soon enough I was on the ground laid out unable to stand. He broken my armor and my face.

He stood over me with his fucking grin. I was a mouse that the cat wanted to watch die. I with what I assumed was my last act breath was to raise my left arm as my right was too broken to move and I flipped him off.

It was childish and vulgar but hell what else could I do. I wanted to do something to him and that's all I had.

He laughed saying 'It's good that the last of us are this defiant in the face of the death. I'd like to tell you that you were a challenge, but that would be a lie.'

I felt the planet shake and his hair stood straighter, lightning came from him. I couldn't sense power levels at the time, but I knew he was far beyond just Super Saiyan. A hundred of me might not be able to match him.

He powered down then grabbed my left hand. He said 'Funny I bet you'd be willing to give your left arm to make this day just end. Let's see if we can't help you on that account.'

I screamed as he ripped my arm off. I lost Super Saiyan. He had it in his hands and chuckled as he stripped it of my armors spandex he said 'Farewell to Arm.' I think it was a reference or something then he started eating it. He proclaimed it to be quite tender. I was on the verge of passing out when he picked me up and threw me.

I don't remember anything after that. I woke up in a ship in the medical wing. Apparently, I had distracted the empire long enough for a great deal of people to escape. They told me that I had saved them. That an army of them had distracted Kakarrot sacrificing themselves to rescue me.

They proclaimed me King of them. I attempted to resist but I couldn't say no. Everyone else in authority was dead. They needed me as broken as I was. I was the outcast of two worlds but now I was hero. Who was proclaimed king by the masses.

Not for a second did I except to be King of anything. I may have been a Prince but my brother was the man made to be king. He was a warrior I was a coward still am. I piss myself before each battle. I shake like a leaf. Every time I kill one of them I end up puking my guts out afterwards.

I talk a big game Gohan but truth is I'm scared to die. It sounds every liberating but if I die, they'd die. Anger keeps me going but its fear that makes my decisions. It's the same with your 'dad' I'm sure. Fuck my arm. Nothing more precious in this life than others. I do care if I don't like killing, I'm do it if it buys them even a second.

Your going to have to kill even if you don't like it if you want your family to live. Dying is easy Gohan, living is the challenge. They're going to need you. You may not like your origins Gohan but you're Gohan son of Kakarrot. You have the blood of a true killer in you. You're going to need it to keep them alive.

Romulus stood in attention next to him was Cobalt and Videl both in full dress uniforms. Videl was the closest to him. The hangar was full of troopers. The typical greeting that all Princes and Princesses would receive.

Romulus said out loud to her in his robotic voice "Captain I know it wasn't you that told my father but one of your men. When I find out who I will kill them for this outrage."

Videl broke a sweat. "I swear it was me Prince."

Romulus coldly stated, "You're poor liar."

The transport came and landed. The ramp came down and Remus was the first one out followed by the various staff. Thankful it appeared that he had left his many girlfriends behind. But there were a few faces that Videl didn't expect.

Naval intelligence was there. They were the people that had the job of working with the Naval and MO to make sure everyone was on the same page. It was a thankless job that involved them all being desk jockeys. It also was were most loyal families put their bastards and craven children.

Romulus and Videl quickly notice however that Remus was sober. A rare sight these days. His onyx eyes were bright and full of awareness. His tail was not limp but tightly wrapped around his waist. His armor was polished and shiny.

Remus rushed forward and hugged Romulus. Romulus cringed but it was hard to see under the armor. Remus was all quick with a hug.

Romulus only allowed this for awhile before he pushed him off. Remus always hugged him which never made sense to him. His mother and father never felt the need to do this.

"I'm sorry brother that he asked me to come. But it was either me or…"

"Our sister I know. Its fine. I'm glad it's you not her."

"Well you should be glad to know that we have the entirety of the Intelligence working on finding them."

Romulus unenthused "I can't wait to hear what they have to say brother."

Remus chuckled and pulled him along followed by their staffs including Videl who found herself next to one of the Naval intelligence men that had only a black suit on instead of a uniform. They took the train to Romulus's area and everyone but Videl and this man were allowed in but the guard.

The door practically closed in her face and the man almost gave a chuckle. That he quickly stifled but still looked quite giggly about what had happened. He had greyish hair a single cut scar on his face. His skin was an odd almost pinkish color. He was not fully human most likely a bastard between an officer and a slave he rescued.

Videl incensed "Find something funny soldier?"

"He hasn't forgiven you yet for making him look bad."

"You know about that…?"

"It's Nogea… No matter my middle name is Noj. Terran's tongues seem to find just calling me that easier than my full name."

"Well Noj you don't seem to be in their either."

Noj sighed "Well I already know about what is going to be said but mostly it's because I have three strikes. Forgive me Madame I know your not used to this world of office politics due to who your parents are. I assure you I meant no disrespect or dishonor."

"I've never been a part of this sort of things and it sure didn't sound like you respecting me."

"Forgive me Madame but you're. You may not think it, but you are quite privileged. For instance, you can't take being laughed at. Was there ever a 'commander' that you 'served' that didn't agree with what you said or sent you were you wanted to go? Besides the other Royal's? Both your parents are Moff's and you call the house of Gero cousin. Your future husband will have a tail I guarantee you Madame. Fret not you're not the only one here because of their parents."

"So your father?"

"He's an Admiral. I'm not in that room because I have three strikes, I'm a bastard, I'm only half-Terran and well the third thing… that you father throws people into ovens over. So, you can see why I'm nervous with the idea that I've insulted you."

Videl sarcastically "You seem it. Why would you say something like that to me? And why would you be on…"

"Our side? I exist because of my god the Emperor and my father. My mother was a seer in her tribe she spoke with the gods and had a vow of celibacy. A vow that the slaver and her master took from her. She prayed to her gods to save her. They said nothing, but the Emperor answer her prays along with my father. My father was once just another RRA officer with a wife in kids. Now he owns a planet and has a mistress. His honor keeps me in his house. His love made it so that my issues on birth and life are known but not acted upon. His connects got me a job to which I can be out of sight and not in that room. They earned my loyalty already. Do you know where your loyalties lie dear Captain? Because call this a hunch but even asking a question that you were trying to ask sure sounds a lot like treason to me."

Videl clenched her fists as she got ready to fight.

Noj laughed "No my silly Madame I'm spy, and what your father calls MO calls a degenerate. I'm a friend with nothing to hurt you with or even oppose you with. You are stronger in every sense. Killing me won't even earn you a slap on the wrist. I'm not valued like you are. I'm a pawn your one of the better pieces that can actually chance the game by your movement. You are going to have to decide that for yourself which side you are really on. The side of what you know or what you don't. Gohan or Romulus. Which honor, I wonder? The side that was willing to let you go or the side that you have always known. My superiors' decisions are always interesting. So, world changing. Billions love the Emperor and thanks to our money gaining strategies plenty are on our pay role we will find them soon you best forget the wayward Prince he hasn't long for freedom. The tentacles are simply too wide and too many. The strongest always wins Madame."
