Vegeta’s POV

“Kaa!-Mee!-Haa!-Mee!-Haaaa!”

“Well that worked out pretty good. Alright Team Alpha let’s move! Team Beta begin mission.” Alea’s shouts before flying off to engage King Cold, I follow her like dog. I’ve no idea what to think anymore, this woman is so much stronger than me. I can’t even really help in this fight more than act as an annoyance to King Cold. What must I do to become a Super Saiyan?

While I was musing over my inefficiencies Alea already slammed into King Cold, in an effort to feel worthwhile I blast one of the goons aiming at Alea. Then I begin to pepper King Cold with blasts every now and then to keep his attention and give Alea a possible opening.

But I’m even more useless than I originally thought as King Cold managed to transform once before we got to him and grew stronger. To get stronger I need challenges and mountains to summit but this is just too much.

This only infuriates me further, I haven’t felt so useless since I found out that Planet Vegeta was destroyed! I will not accept this! I will not be weak!

“Galik Gun!”

I shoot my Galik Gun into King Cold’s back catching him off guard and knocking him towards the woman. She took this advantage I gave her and rammed her fist through his chest bringing an end to this fight.

But surprisingly King Cold is a sore loser and is determined to take the woman with him, he wraps around her and prepares to blow himself and her up. Before I can do anything the pair are blown apart King Cold disintegrating, but the woman was sent hurtling into the ground.

I go to fly towards her but I’m caught off guard by Cooler. It seems the death of father set him off, I always assumed the family only cared about reputation but maybe there was some sort of bond among them, maybe he wanted to kill King Cold himself? Probably will never know.

Well I’ve no time to think of such things as Cooler took this chance to transform again just like the other members of his family did. He has a mask and a spiky head now and is comparable to Freeza now, I really don’t know if we can win this or not. I fly straight to the fight to aid Kakarot and Nail.

“God damn it Kakarot why haven’t you finished this fool off yet?!” I shout as I’m redirected by Cooler from my punch.

“Well it’s not all my fault this guy is really strong. What happened to Alea?” He asks while trading a few blows with Cooler before being thrown aside and being replaced by Nail.

“She got hit up close when papa Cold blew himself up like a coward! I don’t know how she’s doing, Nail can’t you do something?” I shoot at Cooler and follow after them with some kicks.

“Me personally no, I’m a warrior, I am unable to heal others wounds. But I have telepathically called the healers so she should be up and about, if she’s alive.”

The fight continues in a similar manner where we try and overwhelm him, but we are too weak to do anything definitive. But as we fight Cooler suddenly stops dead in the air not moving a single muscle. His eyes show that he doesn’t know what is going on.

Not wasting this opportunity the three of us instinctively came together and began charging another Kamehameha to shoot at Cooler.

“Kaa!-Mee!-Haa!-Mee!-Haaaa!” Our three beams blast out merging together and tears a hole through Cooler’s chest and the accompanying force of the Kamehameha blew his body over the horizon.

“What the hell happened there? Why did he suddenly stop? Either of you know?” I rattle off to the others.

“Not the slightest clue, but I’ll take it. I don’t think we would have won without the interference.” Kakarot states and I can’t help but concur.

“Well with that one dead the looming threat has be averted and both our planets and people won’t have to fear for their survival.” Nail adds his opinion.

“Well whatever. I can’t believe the ones responsible for subjugating the entire galaxy were killed off in a matter of days and with no real casualties.” I speak out feeling unfulfilled.

For the last 30 years I have been growing stronger waiting for the chance to exact my revenge upon the bastard who destroyed my world. The one who toyed me. The one that has only looked down on me. And yet now he is dead by another’s hand, I couldn’t even give a definitive blow towards them. Despite my anger and pride I didn’t achieve anything, I must change as that clearly isn’t the answer to becoming stronger.

I will change, I will not allow myself to be weak any longer, I will achieve the legend for myself. I will become a Super Saiyan and I shall be the strongest of them all.

With my resolve set I flew off leaving everyone behind, heading towards Capsule Corp. Once there I get into the ship that has the augmented gravity and fly it into space. I will train for as long as I need to, to become the strongest.

Nail's POV

This was a tough fight, but with someone's help we were able to land a killing blow upon the evil beings. The last few days have been quite exhausting especially mentally, all the waiting for things to happen was stressful. But now we can get back to our quiet lives without worry for our planet being destroyed. Now I’d better check on Alea she took quite the hit before.

“How is Alea doing?” I ask the healers that are surround her, looking at her it doesn’t seem good. She’s covered in a lot burns and her hair, on both her head and tail is quite blotchy. But she doesn’t appear to any life threatening wounds, which is comforting.

“Well the burns can be healed, the hair will have to regrow on its own, other than that she should be ok. Whatever hit her was concussive in force and shook up her innards rather than breaking any bones or gutting her. But she will likely be unconscious for a few days from the force of it all. Once we have taken care of the serious burns we’ll move her back to the village to continue healing.” One of them replies while healing her.

“Alright when you’re done tell me and I take her.” I then turn to Goku.

“Thank you for your assistance in this, without you by my side I would have lost against that alien.” I give a dip of my head.

“Ah it’s ok, I could say the very same to you. You’re quite strong I wouldn’t mind having a fight after we’ve all rested up a little.” He said.

“Well in the meantime you should check on your friends they are likely worried for you after that fight.” And with that he left.

We had gotten back to the village without problem and I placed Alea into a bed for her to rest, someone was left to keep an eye on her while she was out. I then went to speak to the Elder.

“Greetings Edler Guru, I have returned.” I greet.

“Welcome Nail, I’m glad you returned unharmed. I was worried you wouldn’t have been able to beat them, well done.” He says.

“Thank you Elder Guru but you shouldn’t thank me, it was due to all of our efforts that no one died. Especially Alea she fought one of the beings and managed to kill him, stopping their forces from overwhelming us. Though she was injured from the fight and was unable to help us in the second fight. Add on top of that, that we had assistance from an outside force and you quite honestly shouldn’t be congratulating me.” I say humbly.

“That does not matter Nail you fought with your life on the line, you are just as responsible as everyone else. Do not belittle yourself.”

“Yes Elder Guru.”

Alea’s POV

I wake up in a bed and in a change of clothes that I recognise to be Namekian in style. Then I see that someone has left the room, likely to inform others of my resurrection, because goddamn did that feel bad.

“Ah you’re finally up Alea. That’s good, I was slightly worried that you may have been more injured than we realised.” Nail comes in saying.

“I can get that, that King Cold bastard really hit me hard. How’d you handle the other fight without me?”

“An outside force interfered somehow and forcibly stopped Cooler granting us a chance to attack him.”

“Any indication as to who?”

“No I couldn’t feel any other presence in the area.”

“Hmm interesting, I’ll look into that later. So how is everyone else doing?”

“Good no one died, just a few injuries. The one called Vegeta left soon after the fight though, seemed the fight had quite the effect on him.”

“I see that’s good to hear. How’s Guru doing?” I ask tepidly and receive a little shock from Nail.

“How did you know?”

“It was a feeling.”

“Ha a feeling, sometimes I wonder if you can see the future. Anyway Elder Guru told us that his time is drawing near, he’s passed on his title as Grand Elder to Moori along with his possession of the Dragon Balls. He said that before he moves on he wishes to speak to you, he’s already said his goodbyes to everyone else.” He says seriously.

“I see, I guess I shouldn’t keep him waiting then.” I say with a little bit of cheer to bring up the mood. I’m not fond of gloomy moods, don’t act well with them.

We get up and leave the little house and head towards Guru.

“Greetings Guru.” I greet with respect.

“Hello Alea, Nail. I’m I was able to see you before I pass on.” He pauses a little while. “I truly have to thank you Alea, you have done so much for I and my children. Saving them from death and suffering even saving our planet. Not many people are capable nor willing to do that for another.”

As he said this he stood up to his full height of 12ft, despite his age he still managed to stand with grace and sense of power. He then extends his hand towards to shake. I give out my hand and place it in his and we shake hands. He has quite a strong grip considering his condition.

“I have a gift for you, that I hope you will appreciate and look after once I am gone. It is the last thing I can do before passing.” He then kneels down, with a bit of effort, and his throat begins to bulge before his mouth did the same. Moments later he opened his mouth and spat out an egg that could hold a small child.

“Take this, my final child, I wish for you to take care of him and raise him, show him a different life, one beyond our planet. I’ve spent the last year collecting my power for this child, knowing that my time is coming from your memories of your chronicals. With him by your side you won’t need to worry about being lonely.” He ends it with a gentle smile like that of a grandfather's.

I and Nail are left stunned at this. I shakily reach out with my arms and take the egg in them, worrying that it may just break if I’m not gentle with it. Then Guru sits back in his throne and relaxes, his life force fading from him, I bow my head to him one final time before he and his body vanish.
