Sixth Chapter : Shadows From the Past

___________________________________________________________________________

Shadows, lurking everywhere,
Shadows, hidden in the night,
shadows that come to hunt us
from a not yet forgotten past.

called "Shadows From the Past"

When Vegita gave the communicator to Raditsu, he did it just so that
Raditsu would stop annoying him, telling him he had all the fun while he
stayed here managing all the boring aspects of ruling Vegitasei. He didn't
think twice about it or thought it would be any problem. Much less did he
ever imagined being defeated, also, he didn't think about Raditsu and his
communicator, even at his death ...

culture" chapter 5 page 74.

***************************************************************************

Vegita stayed sitting where he was, his mind numb, trying not to think,
trying to wash away the recondition and the wave or hate that invaded his
being. He sat there, saying to himself that this was a dream, that this
person in front of him was not who he thought he was.

K. Vegita : Yes, you are not dreaming (almost reading his mind) I am King
Vegita, unfortunately your father. I have come to revenge my race, my
bloodline, which you have tainted with a human mate.

Vegita still didn't move from where he was, shock didn't permit him.

K. Vegita : So, no greeting to your king, I thought you had learned some
manners, but, after all (he smiled coldly and menacingly) a traitor can't
have manners.

Finally Vegita stood up, completely facing his father, a cold stare in his
eyes.

Vegita : What are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be (he smirked)
...dead. I'm sorry to say I never had the opportunity to kill you. But, you
have now given it to me.

K. 	Vegita : At least you have some spirit left. Sooo, you think you could
be able to kill me, I don't think a traitor and sentimentalist could have
what it takes.

Vegita : You'd be surprised what 22 years of training and battles can make.
Have you heard about the legendary Super Saiya-jin.

K. 	Vegita : Hai, what does this come to the theme of the treason and
weakness you posses.

Vegita : Nothing and everything, just watch and learn.

Vegita now makes all his anger surface, all his hate, all his raw power
pulsing through his veins, adrenaline giving him that exhilarating feeling
of total stamina. The strength, singing through his body, surfacing, as he
screamed from pure pleasure. His hair moving by his own account, rising,
getting spikier. King Vegita's scooter exploding, not being able to read
the rising power levels. Vegita is now covered with a golden aura, his eyes
green, his hair white blond, an eerie breeze swiping the landscape, his
eyes mirroring the most pure hate, so much King Vegita almost trembled, he
had never seen power such as this.

Vegita : Now what do you say ...father (he said with a very sarcastic tone)

King Vegita looked at his son with a feeling that he had never felt before.

Vegita : Now, if you tell me how did you come here, I'll make your death
quick, something you don't deserve (he smiled a smile so cold and menacing
that King Vegita almost shivered).

K. 	Vegita : You believe yourself to be very powerful, but you are just a
traitor and a coward.

Vegita : Well I see you want to die suffering ...

Meanwhile ...

Marron : Aren't the stars beautiful, Trunks ? .... Trunks ? .... Trunks,
are you listening to me ?

Trunks : Umm, sorry, what did you say ?

Marron : What is happening, you have been acting weird and detached all
night long.

Trunks :I'm just having a strange feeling ...

Marron : What feeling ? Is something wrong ?

Trunks : Could be, I don't know.

Suddenly, Trunks feels Vegita's ki, looks like if he has gone SSJ, OK, no
big deal, thinks Trunks, but then he feels a strange ki near Vegita's ki, a
strange but familiar ki all together.

Trunks : Something's wrong, got to go.

Then, Trunks shoots out to the sky.

Marron : HEY ! ! ! ! Trunks ! ! ! Come back here ! ! What's wrong !

But as she yelled, she saw Trunks getting smaller and smaller until only a
little point in the sky was visible, and then, she didn't see her no more.
Then she decided to go to the Son house to ask what was wrong to Goku.

Meanwhile, in the Son house :

Suddenly all the warriors present (Goku, Gohan, Goten, Krilin) stand up as
if abruptly they have felt some strong breeze. Then wordlessly they looked
at each other and shoot out flying through the open door, almost crashing
with Marron that was coming inside.

Marron : Something is wrong. Something is seriously wrong.

Chi Chi : (coming out of the kitchen) Does someone want some desert ? Hey !
! Where's everybody ? Marron ? Where's Goku ?

Marron : I don't know, but something's wrong.

Chi Chi : Wrong ? Now you too ? First #18, and know you say it. Where are
they ? What's happening ?

Marron : I have no idea what is happening.

Then, Marron, facing the sky, saw them disappear into the clouds.

Meanwhile ...

Vegita : Now I'll play with you a little, make you suffer, and then I will
take out your hear and see it making it's last beats in my hand.

King Vegita was scared, but he didn't let it show it, his pride wouldn't
let him surrender, he would fight for his honor.

Then, Vegita lunged at King Vegita, taking him by surprise and making him
fly a couple of meters, until he caught himself in the air. When he finally
stopped flying, he saw Vegita coming for him, with a fist, Vegita try to
punch him, but King Vegita was prepared, or that he thought. King Vegita
caught Vegita's fist in his hand, and then, Vegita knowing he would do
this, punched him in the stomach with his other fist, smirking when he saw
blood spurting out of King Vegita's mouth. King Vegita gasped for air as
Vegita strangled him, and fell to the ground. Vegita floated to meet him in
the ground and stood, looking down at the twitching King. Taking him by the
collar, he levitated him so they would be face to face, and King Vegita
thought he was looking at a mirror, only that this time he had blond hair
and blue eyes.

Vegita snarled at him and said "Is that all you have ? Defeated by such a
sleazy trick ?" He spat on the ground because of his disgust. Then, King
Vegita punched him in the stomach, thinking his fist had connected, he
gasped when he saw he had connected with Vegita's hand. "You are too slow"
he said as he flung him at the ground. King Vegita felt the impact, but
that was the least important of his thoughts. Then he stood up to face a
crossed armed, smirking Vegita. Vegita, looking at him, united index his
fingers, and concentrating, he filled his hands with energy, creating a
small ki ball. Then he looked at him again, this time almost calmly. The
calm before the storm, King Vegita thought. Then he said "With this you
die."

In that moment, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Krilin came. Vegita didn't
turn around.

K. 	Vegita : So, you have brought your friends.

Vegita : I haven't called anyone, they came 'cause they wanted to.

Goku : What's happening Vegita ? Who's he ?

Vegita : Someone who will die soon.

Gohan : What's going on ?

Vegita :Everyone shut up and leave ! ! ! !

Everyone stood looking at Vegita, not moving a step. King Vegita, seeing
his opportunity, lunged at Vegita, but Vegita swiftly got out of the way.

Trunks : Tusan, I feel a very familiar ki in this stranger, and he is
obviously Saiya-jin. Who is he ?

Vegita : He's my father. And by hell that I don't know how did he come. 

Goku : Father ? Isn't he supposed to be dead ?

Goten : Exactly. Then, what is he doing here ?

Gohan : It's almost obvious that he had to come in a time machine of some
sort.

Trunks : But why did he come ?

Goku : Yeah, for what ?

Vegita : Hey ! I'm trying to finish a battle here, so go away.

Gohan : We aren't going away until we receive some answers to our
questions. How can someone from the past come here ? Why ?

Vegita : Well, you 'aint gonna get your stupid answers anyway, so go away !

Then Vegita, turning around to face King Vegita, said ...

Vegita : We have some business to attend.

And with that he squeezed King Vegita's tail, making him shout in pain, and
then he called his energy to his hand, making it a blade and then he hit
his neck ....

Some place in the bushes, Dantreo smiled to himself, thinking, my revenge
is complete.

Meanwhile, in the past ...

Raditsu sat almost numb looking stunned at the communicator. How could that
be ? My great master, the king of the mightiest race in the whole world,
killed by a traitor. Something had to be done about that. He took another
communicator and called Yudaio, the commander of the Saiya-jin army.
"Yudaio", he said "Prepare the army, we have a mission to accomplish."

Meanwhile ...

Vegita left the limp and lifeless body of his father in the ground. He
didn't feel anything at all. He just was numb all over. Suddenly he felt
another strange but pathetically weak ki. It was a wonder he had felt it.
Then he went looking for the source of the ki. He found it in some bushes,
while he was doing this, all the other where discussing from where had he
come...

Gohan : But how did he come ? ? ?

Trunks : How the hell should I know, just lets go home.

Then, Vegita grabbed the cat looking creature he found in the bushes, and
said...

Vegita : This could be the answer to your worthless question ....

Meanwhile, in the past ...

Raditsu is sitting down, waiting for further informs about the army, he
would revenge his King...

Ubbu's journal, 763 days after the last Tenkai-ichi Budoukai :

Well, this is my first entry. I really didn't want to do this but Goku
insisted in that it was a good thing, and when I asked, he didn't know why.
He's got a lot of heart and power, but if you ask me, his brain is just a
little damaged. Today I trained as always with Goku. My daily schedule is
waking up in the morning about 4 :30 and begin training, then eat a "light"
by Goku's standards, breakfast, then, continue training until 12 :40, when
food will be served again, and finish at 7 :00 when dinner is eaten. Chi
Chi was totally strict about not training any further. And, all the
warriors around are saying something's going on, I'm in my mother's house
now, so I couldn't go to Chi Chi's dinner. Well, this is all for today !
