Chapter 13 � Fate

Vegeta wakes up,
feeling dizzy and disoriented.

�What the hell
happened?�

He sits up
groggily and looks up into the sky. His sons are up there, beaten and bloody,
getting ready for the final blast. He feels Trunks� hand squeezing his
shoulder, letting him know that his other son is glad he�s awake again.

�Toorah knocked
you out to have his shot at Glacier,� Trunks says to him. �It�s hard to tell
who will win, they�re both exhausted.�

A tremendous energy
wave emerges as both fighters hit each other with everything they have left.
Rocks crumble and Chikyuu trembles underneath the ones who watch the fight.
They have to take cover not to get hit by flying debris.

When the
earthquake is over, Vegeta shakes off the rocks and dust that settled down on
his body. It takes a while before the dust blows away in the breeze. Glacier�s
body is broken and torn apart by the blast; he�s finished alright.

�Toorah?� Goku
cries out, his voice trembling because he fears the worst.

�I can still
sense his ki,� Vegeta says. �He�s over there.� He points to another pile of
rubble and flies towards it.

Toorah stretches
out his hand as he sees his father kneel beside him. Beyond speech because of
his injuries, he contacts Vegeta telepathically.

Father, I�m sorry to have hit you like that. I had no
choice.

Vegeta looks at
him, his face softening when looking at his dying son.

I understand. It�s a pity we only meet now and not
under better circumstances.

Toorah�s body
tenses and his breathing becomes even more ragged than before.

This was my fate� I knew I had to sacrifice my life
to protect you� Father, please don�t be harsh on Kakarot. He never meant to
hurt you.

Vegeta cocks an
eyebrow when Toorah brings up Goku in this conversation.

Kakarot is not your concern, son.

Toorah squeezes
his hand and pulls his head closer to his own. He whispers something into
Vegeta�s ear and then his spirit gives up the fight. His body relaxes and a
tear falls from Vegeta�s eye. Vegeta puts his forehead to his son�s motionless
hand and cries, sobs racking through his body.

�Vegeta? Are you
awake?�

Vegeta comes to
with a mind-blowing headache.

�My head hurts
like hell, so I guess I am,� he growls. His vision improves slightly and he
recognizes his bedroom in Capsule Corp. The figure standing next to his bed is
Kakarot.

�You passed out
after Toorah died,� Goku says softly. �We brought his body back here to give
him a proper burial.�

�Hn,� Vegeta
grunts. He�s really not in the mood to talk about the loss of his son. He
doesn�t give a damn about Glacier, but Toorah� He never even knew Radditz got
pregnant! Suddenly he remembers what Toorah told him right before he died.

�Toorah told me
what you�ve been through in Hell,� he says questioningly. �Is it true what he
told me?�

Goku nods. �It�s
true.�

�I can�t believe
it.� Vegeta shakes his head and consequently groans in pain as his headache
reminds him not to move his head in that way. He growls defiantly when Goku
hands him a bag of ice, but then he accepts it and puts it on his forehead. The
cold numbs his pain.

�Did you check if
Glacier was dead?� he asks.

�He was torn
apart. He won�t come back.� Goku stretches out his hand to stroke Vegeta�s
hair, but Vegeta turns his back to him.

�Leave me,
Kakarot. I need to rest.�

Goku�s face
falls, but he leaves anyway. He never expected Vegeta to forgive him for what
he did.

Bulma almost
jumps him when he enters the living room.

�What the hell
happened out there? Why did you return? Why did you kill Vegeta in the first place?�
She fires questions at him as if she holds a machine gun.

�I can�t tell you
why I killed him, Bulma. I can only say that it wasn�t me at the time.�

�You mean you
were possessed?�

�Something like
that.�

�Please Goku,
tell me what happened out there today. I need to know.�

�Vegeta fought
Glacier after me. It didn�t work. Then another fighter, Toorah, appeared and
fought Glacier. He had to knock out Vegeta first because he wouldn�t let him
fight. Toorah killed Glacier and then died himself. End of story.�

�Who were those
guys anyway?�

�I�m not sure I�m
allowed to tell you that.�

�I know Toorah is related to Vegeta
somehow, Goku, I�m not stupid nor am I blind. Now tell me!�

Goku rests his
head on his hands as he whispers: �Toorah was the son of Vegeta and Radditz.�

�N� nani?� Bulma
flops down on the couch as her legs give up supporting her weight.

�You mean� Saiyan
males can get pregnant?�

�Some of them.�

�How come I never
knew? I gave you guys tons of medical check-ups.�

�Vegeta and I are
not the kind that can get pregnant.�

�I see��

�Glacier was also
Vegeta�s son. Frieza created him by mixing their semen.�

�You mean Vegeta
had a child from Frieza?� Bulma�s
eyes become wider every second.

�No. He can�t get
pregnant. Frieza must have had help from scientists to create an
Ice-jin/Saiya-jin hybrid. Glacier was meant to be Frieza�s successor.�

�And now Glacier
and Toorah are dead. That means� Vegeta lost two sons in one day!�

�I know. He�ll
probably shut everyone out for now. I�ll stay around for a while, just in case
you need me. I won�t show my face though; Vegeta hasn�t forgiven me for killing
him yet.�

�I�ll be there
for him� if he lets me.�

�I know. Thank
you, Bulma.�

Several months
later�

Vegeta stands on
the balcony, looking at the stars above. They are pale; the moon is almost
full. He inhales the smoke of his cigarette; a bad habit he took over from
Bulma�s family. His Saiyan body isn�t affected much by it though. He can feel a
bit of a rush when the nicotine starts to get to his blood. Without turning around,
he knows who just appeared.

�I guess you
caught me.�

�I never knew you
smoked,� Goku says surprised.

�There are many
Chikyuu temptations� I couldn�t resist this one.� Vegeta turns around and puts
his elbows on the railing. �Why are you here?�

�To ask you for
forgiveness for what I did to you.� Goku falls down on one knee and bows his
head. �I�m yours. Kill me if you wish.�

Vegeta looks down
on Goku�s spiky hair and smiles bitterly. �Don�t be ridiculous, Kakarot. Toorah
told me that you�d never hurt me and that you changed to prevent it from ever
happening again. You know what his last words were? I sacrificed my life to save you, father, but Kakarot changed his whole
being for you and he�s prepared to live with it. That�s what I call a sacrifice.�

Goku�s eyes well
up as he hoarsely says: �I couldn�t bear the thought of something like that
happening to you twice.�

�I have suffered
greater evil, Kakarot, and I�m still alive.� Vegeta glares at him from under
dark eyelashes. �I forgive you, if it helps you to sleep at night. Now get up
and stop embarrassing yourself.�

Goku gets up and
then hesitantly asks: �Do you want to talk about Toorah?�

Vegeta sighs and blows
out a cloud of smoke. �I had no idea� Saiyans under great pressure don�t get
pregnant, because it would harm them and their babies. I never considered the
option that Radditz would get pregnant anyway, but I guess it happened. It
makes sense now: he must have given birth to Toorah when he was gone for a
so-called �deep space mission�. He was gone for nearly a year, that gave him
enough time.�

�Do you have any
idea why he didn�t tell you?�

�No. Maybe he
knew I�d never see him, because he was destined to fight Glacier. He may have
wanted to protect me from a broken heart, knowing that I had a son but never
allowed to see him grow up.�

�I think that�s
the reason,� Goku thinks out loud. �I probably would have done the same thing.�

�He did the right
thing,� Vegeta says. �I can still visit Toorah in Otherworld if I want to.�

�That�s right.
I�m going home, Vegeta. Do you want to spar tomorrow?� Goku lifts his fingers
to his forehead, waiting for Vegeta to answer.

�Sure.�

Goku grins and
fazes out.
