72. Hell

(A/N: Happy New Year!!! I hope all of you readers remain safe and we finally get rid of this CoronaVirus.)

(A/N: This chapter is divided into Vegeta's and his Family's perspective. Now, tell me, if you want it like this or focused on solely Vegeta with side chapters here and there explaining what's going on with his family.)

As Vegeta opened his eyes. He found himself in a pitch-black void stretching up to miles. Screams could be heard in his surroundings, used to put pressure on the mental health of the Hell-dwellers here. There was an oppressing force that was being applied on the souls in this Hell.

The world had helped Vegeta in retaining his body, memories and emotions in his dead state. This happened because Vegeta had helped the world with a very big threat. Even though he did it unintentionally. The world didn't know that so Vegeta got a free pass to make a come back. Vegeta was going to comeback to the world of the living Kratos style.

--------1st pov-------

I looked around and felt a pressure weighing down on my soul. I was sure that I was in soul state as I felt particularly light. Then I felt my anger that I was trying to keep bottled in, again starting bubbling inside me. The Gods weren't going to get away from my hands.

The surroundings here, were particularly dark. I injected Ki, allowing me to see everything. There was a dark gooey stuff flowing here and there all across the floor. There were fumes coming out of it. I saw a wandering soul accidentally step on it and the place it touched was fully corroded and it hadn't even fully touched it and just the fumes did all the work.

It was so dark that you couldn't even see, even if you put your hand in front of your eyes. My Ki vision also had to be pumped with more Ki than usual to counter the effects of this darkness. I hovering a bit above the ground and slowly made my way forward.

I slowly made my way forward, a bit wary of my surroundings. I was scanning my surroundings every now and then with my spiritual sense. I could scan quite a large area. My scans actually yielded adequate results, I could feel a particularly large energy source near my location.

The energy signature that I felt was quite vast. It looked like it was out of control as it was bubbling up and cooling down, again and again. It was like a volcanic geyser. It would erupt and then settle down again. I was interested to know what was it that I felt from the energy signature but first I need to sort some things out.

Drying the land with a Ki wave, I landed down. Sitting cross legged, I concentrated and tried to feel the sensation that I felt when that cunt cheap shotted from behind. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil, just then I entered Super Saiyan and Lightning started flickering around me.

I felt stronger than ever but I knew that keeping anger as a trigger for this can be detrimental in the long run. Over the years, I got to know some things about my transformations. With enough mind and Ki control and a strong enough power level/body. You can access transformations much faster and easier.

Goku entered Super Saiyan before Vegeta because he had better control over his Ki than Vegeta and he is much milder in anger department. In the show, it is told multiple times that a gentler personality has a much easier time to access SS than the others. Example, the universe 6 Saiyans. Even God Ki needs you to have more control over your Ki.

Now that I ma in my soul state, I can feel another type of energy in my body. It is barely even 10% of what I have in amounts of Ki. 'it feels much more purer and more heavier?? a weird feeling'. I tried to move the energy around but to no avail. After some time, I just gave up and worked on my SS2 transformation.

Now, if I can access SS4, I will have a much better chance in getting out of this place and getting my revenge. If I am not mistaken then this has to be the Underworld. I would say Tartarus would be the exact location as to where I am.

--------------------

When Vegeta left that message through his clone. The connection between him and his clone got cut but the clone was still there. The thing is since Vegeta asked for Dragon Ball related powers, he got a cheat unknowingly. We can see in the show that Goku, even when had died. He could still get stronger and access all his Ki and techniques.

Heck, he learned Kaio-Ken and Spirit Bomb while he was dead. So its not farfetched to assume that powers in Dragon Ball are linked to the Soul than body. As long as you are not Hakaied out of existence, you will live and have you powers. Vegeta is an anomaly, so the rules made by the Gods do not bind him. He is basically immortal as long as he can escape Tartarus and keep coming back. Just like our boy, Kratos.

Now Vegeta's situation is like Kratos, where he dies and goes to Tartarus. Just to come back and slaughter the Gods of the Greek pantheon. Actually proper hell is only depicted in Hindu and some other myths. Greeks just send the dead to Tartarus but it is not true death, even Norse Gods send the dead to Valhalla or Helheim/Niflheim, depending on situation.

-------------------------------

The girls were devastated, a woman's intuition was through the roof. They could feel that something bad had happened to Vegeta and he will not be coming anytime soon. The only saving grace was that his clones were still there.(Linked to soul, remember.)

Everyone was feeling sad right now. Vegeta was like a pillar of the family, everyone was quite attached to each other. They practically lived next door, so developing a familial bond was easy. The girls were using each other's support and just silently shed tears in their hearts, keeping a strong front.

"Vegeta may not be coming back anytime soon but it doesn't mean, we can't do anything. We are in the monster continent. There are plenty of ways to get stronger, we have a gravity chamber, monsters to farm". Nejire, the eldest of the girls said to them. She was acting like a responsible adult.

"Yeah you are right. We have to get stronger, so that when he comes back. We will not just dead weights and actually helpful in his troubles". Bulma the straightforward girl said to them. She had ways to get stronger by making plenty of tech and through monster hunting.

Momo an Toru had their fists clenched, showing their resolve to the rest of them. Tio' mind though was in another place. 'Ahn master, please come back faster. Who will punish me, while you are gone'. She started panting and squirming on the spot. Everyone took a bit of a distance and continued their own talking. Already getting used to her antics.

"So, let's get stronger". Momo Yelled.

"Yeah!!". Everyone else.
