The new king

Vegeta didn't stop even when Nappa yelled at him to, even when he was putting himself in the blast's range.

For he couldn't stop now, because if he did, that would mean he was always played for a fool by Raditz, he was the real clown.

That legend was always besides him, listening to him dream about becoming super Saiyan one day, all the while knowing he had no chance.

'I will not stand for this!'

With a final growl, Vegeta detonated his galick gun on Raditz's chest, his hands keeping it pressed on the white armour.

'Galick gun!'

*Booooom*

A purple hemisphere of energy overtook the duo, leaving the audience aghast.

Vegeta was putting his entire strength behind it, this was the planet busting attack he did in canon, just this time around only Raditz was tanking the blunt of the whole attack.

"Raditz! This short villain! He is so awful."

Launch exclaimed with her hands on her mouth, Pie pie and Bulma who were sitting besides her looked royally pissed too.

Digging her naturally sharp nails on the titanium chair she was sitting on, Pie pie slapped her tail on the ground angrily.

*Crack*

Causing cracks to form on the floor, Bulma looked upset too, but she looked at Pie pie with a stare.

"Hey, keep it down, you will wake those two up."

Said Bulma with a grumpy tone, Pie pie gave a startled look at that and looked back, watching two babies lying fast asleep on the bed.

One had a mermaid tail and the other boy had a monkey one, with that one special trait of Raditz's family on him.

The messy hairstyle Bardock, Goku and Goten all seemed to inherit, this strong genetic line was once again seen in all it's glory within this boy.

Looking back herself, Launch waved at the two and laughed in a silly voice, and from the looks of her dazed eyes gaining clarity, she seems to have somehow confirmed Raditz's safety.

"Hey Raditz is safe! I just checked the otherworld, he isn't there yet!"

As both women sighed with relief, Launch walked upto both the kids and poked the boy she brought into this world on the cheek.

Such a cute boy, who knew the night she shared with Raditz that day would result in this, even Raditz didn't know, she only got to know this after she left for the otherworld.

And then couldn't return until a week ago, missing Raditz all that time, stupid otherworld rules, stupid earth's main magician rules.

"Hehe, and you don't have to worry about these two, little Bardock is a heavy sleeper, he won't make a noise even when he was just born in otherworld."

"I was afraid something was wrong, but then Baba told me what really happened, guess he just wanted to see Raditz again."

The last line was said in a mumbling voice by launch, and she also knew why the other baby came over just as quickly from Pie pie.

These two might be normal babies right now, but it's because they have been cleansed and reincarnated, it was a majin buu and uub situation, but Launch didn't tell anyone else.

She will only tell it to Raditz personally later.

"Booom*

The women's talks were cut short by the loud crashing noise the TV emitted, looking back at it they saw something amazing.

*Booom*

*Booom*

*Booom*

In the battlefield Raditz was rushing like a bull, his hands clenched around Vegeta's face and his armour was still as spotless as ever.

"Aaaaaah!"

Vegeta screamed into his mouth as he was being dragged through row after row of buildings, with his head acting like the demolisher.

Raditz was using Vegeta's entire body to dig into the hard concrete and metal structure and he just kept pushing, making a large cave in where ever he went.

"Hah!"

Finishing the entire row of buildings, Raditz looked down at the bloody Vegeta hanging limp.

*Clench*

*Crack*

Clenching his hand grabbing Vegeta's face, which cracked Vegeta's teeth from the sound of it, Raditz finally picked up the limp prince and brought him to his face.

"Vegeta... Always the sore loser aren't you, I told you didn't I, you can't defeat me."

"I might even be as strong as Freeza now, and I am still growing, I will keep growing every minute and every second, this is the reality Vegeta, accept defeat, so I can end this farce."

Although Raditz did tell the Vegeta this, he was nowhere close to Freeza, even the first form much less the final, at least right now.

He was currently stuck, unless he wants to push more and turn into Oozaru, losing the natural case of ki trapping his Saiyan body provides with Ikari.

'I can possibly do what Broly did and cut my tail, losing the ability to become Oozaru, but Broly had special circumstances, he was going Oozaru since forever, and had many tail regrowth phases as a child.'

'But I can't train like that anymore, I have reached the age where I can't regrow my tail if cut, just like Vegeta, so if I try that, I might lose Ikari altogether.'

Considering that possibility, Raditz decided against cutting off his tail for a shot at the complete Ikari, or mortal god form as he liked to call it.

Ikari had way too much potential, Broly was losing to super Saiyan Vegeta in base, then as soon as he used Ikari, it kept him going until he was beating them as gods, but that's where he peaked.

Blue Goku could once again defeat him, because that was as strong as Ikari could make him, this was the entire reason Freeza was upset Broly couldn't go super Saiyan, he was losing to blue Goku.

If this was the old Broly, he would have just kept getting stronger with no limits whatsoever, but the canon Broly had clear logical limits, for more power he had to transform into Ikari and super Saiyan respectively.

'But that's the best part, these forms aren't specific to Broly, unlike his green haired form, everything else is something I can replicate.'

Just when Raditz was thinking about his future powerups and how he could go on to defeat Freeza, the broken Saiyan prince suddenly coughed.

"Haaah, haaah, haaah."

Vegeta's panting sound brought Raditz out of his thoughts, he remembered, he had dropped the prince to the ground a while ago.

"Dammit..!"

Said Vegeta with hate, from down here all he could see was Raditz's feet, he, the prince of all Saiyan's, was lying at the feet of another.

But Vegeta couldn't even gain enough energy to stand up anymore, his previous galick gun had hurt him more than it did Raditz, and the next beatdown he just recieved.

"Dammit! Dammit!!!!"

Vegeta banged on the broken pavement, looking up at Raditz with a face that almost looked to be crying, from pain or from his pride getting shattered.

That was something only Vegeta knew... And Raditz too, he also knew.

"You.. you lie.. it cannot be.. I was supposed to become super Saiyan, I am a super elite..!"

"You are just a low class Saiyan, how.. how are you the one of the legend?! It should have been me! Prince Vegeta!"

Vegeta hit his head on the floor, with clear tears now streaming down his face, Raditz gave him a hard look.

Because he knew Vegeta wept majorly because he felt as if Raditz always knew but treated him like a joke, his pride was hurt more than anything.

As for remorse, that wasn't something the Saiyan prince was capable of feeling currently.

"Low class? Don't kid yourself Vegeta, my father was Bardock!"

"I am sure you have heard of him didn't you, everyone did, he was a low class warrior who rose through the ranks all on his own."

Smirking haughtily, Raditz continued.

"And I am his son, Raditz! Wasn't this the entire reason a low class like me was taken into your elite squad?"

The real reason for this might have been Dragonballs doing their thing somehow through Bardock's status, making sure Raditz could survive the planet buster.

Or it could really be Bardock's potential that spurred the king to put his son, Raditz into a team with Vegeta.

Whatever it was, that was all because of Bardock in the end.

"Bardock.."

*Bang*

With a sudden kick to the chest, Raditz knocked Vegeta out.

Vegeta was once again about to go on about how everything was a lucky coincidence, how he will never stop being the Saiyan prince.

And Raditz had given up on trying to convince the guy, to hell with it, he'll just send Vegeta back to Freeza force or something, he can handle it from there.

"Nappa, announce the results."

From a shocked face to a large smile is what Nappa went through.

Laughing with relief Nappa rushed towards Raditz, and fell on the floor with a bow.

"My King, Nappa is at your service."

A smile of real relief was constantly on Nappa's face, not only did he survive, he also knew the legendary Saiyan was always with them.

And be trained the guy himself! What absolute honor, he had no qualms serving the new Saiyan king, especially seeing how he refused to kill Vegeta, just because he was one of his own.

'Freeza, just you wait, the legend you feared has come true.'

With these words, Nappa looked up to ingrain the kingly image of Raditz in his mind.

Perhaps his appearance resembling a royal garb was not a coincidence, but his plan all along.
