Dragonball Extreme

King Vegetaned ned and absently plucked at some of the strands of grass around him. He wondered briefly if they were going to be there much longer then realized he\'d wondered the same thing about five times in the last five minutes. He was getting impatient, but he didn\'t really know what he could do.
Beside him, Bardock twitched a little. The lower-class saiya-jin was stretched out on the grass, totally consumed by a vision. The elder saiya-jin wondered if Bardock was feeling what he saw as well. It was something he\'d never thought to ask.

Bardock suddenly bolted upright. He looked around and realized that he wasn\'t in any danger. The saiya-jin slipped back to the ground and rolled over onto his back. \"Kuso,\" he said. \"I hate these damn visions sometimes. They never make any sense right away, and I always loose track of what\'s going on around me!\"

\"Is this last vision bothering you?\" Vegeta asked.

Bardock shook his head. \"It is, but I don\'t know why. I don\'t see anything unusual. I see everything I should see...our sons grown with grown children of their own...your son is King finally, by the way...but...their mood didn\'t seem right...they were nervous...\" He shook his head again. \"I\'m not going to torture myself thinking about it.\"

Vegeta looked at Bardock quizzically. \"What, king of a handful of men? They\'ve got to be joking with him, right?\"

\"I don\'t think so,\" Bardock replied. \"They seem sincere.\" He thought on it a moment, then furiously scrubbed at his head with his hands, making his wild hair more wild momentarily. \"Argh! I refuse to think about it. If I\'m going to see the damned future, why can\'t it be crystal clear?\"

\"I suppose that\'s why that creature gave you the ability in the first place,\" King Vegeta mused. \"He must have known that it would torture you like this. His idea of a parting blow, I suppose.\" He flopped back on the grass next to Bardock and looked up at the blue sky.

Bardock stared at his king for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

Vegeta looked over at him. \"What\'s so funny?\" he asked.

\"You don\'t exactly look the picture of royalty,\" Bardock said. \"I\'d never in my wildest dreams thought of seeing you sprawled out on the grass like an ordinary warrior.\"

\"And why not?\" Vegeta retorted hotly. \"I wasn\'t always king, you know. I was an \"ordinary warrior\" once.\"

Bardock smiled, then sighed and looked sad. \"No, you weren\'t,\" he said. \"I remember quite inctinctly. You were always Prince Vegeta, the untouchable saiya-jin, and I was always the lowly third-class trash. I don\'t know why or how I ever ended up bonding with you.\"

Vegeta\'s eyes were concerned as he scanned the other saiya-jin. \"Are you sorry that we are?\" he asked.

Bardock sighed again. \"No,\" he said. \"I just hated having to sneak around to spend any time with you. No one else had to pretend they hadn\'t bonded yet, or sneak around to see their partner.\"

King Vegeta raised an eyebrow. He rolled onto his stomach so that he was closer to the lower-class warrior. \"Why do you think I was so happy when you died so soon after I did? I didn\'t want to see you dead; however, I didn\'t like not having you around either.\"

\"So the high-and-mighty King Vegeta was worried about a nobody low-class saiya-jin, eh?\" Bardock quipped. \"Funny how that happens; even my own level of warriors wouldn\'t take me seriously. No one but my team ever took me seriously, and they all died because I wasn\'t there.\" He closed his eyes and sighed.

Vegeta grabbed him roughly by the shoulders. \"I told you to stop blaming yourself for that!\" he snapped. \"Do you think I like it any more that my son suffered most of his life under Freeza because I was the fool who calmly handed him over? We all do things we regret, Bardock, but dwelling on it isn\'t going to fix matters. They\'re still dead and you\'re still dead. Get over it.\" He threw Bardock back on the ground.

Bardock looked up in surprise as he landed with a thud on his back. \"You didn\'t have a choice,\" he said. \"Freeza would have killed all of us right there if you hadn\'t handed the prince over.\"

\"Neither did you,\" Vegeta shot back. \"You were in that regeneration tank because you did the first thing any squad leader does; you stood up and got between the enemy and your men. Perhaps the whole race wasn\'t at stake; however, your squad was, and that\'s what matters when you\'re a warrior like all the others. We\'re exactly the same.\"

Bardock sighed and scanned the pretty horizon again. \"I don\'t know,\" he said. \"Maybe I\'m just homesick. Being here reminds me too much of my younger days. I\'m stuck seeing the future and wishing for the past.\"

King Vegeta sat up. He pulled Bardock up beside him. \"Then live in the present and take your mind off of everything for a while. That woman said all the pleasures of life are here; that must mean that there\'s good hunting. I\'m hungry, and it\'s been a long time since I\'ve been on a good hunt. Let\'s go.\"

Bardock looked at him in surprise, then smiled as his own stomach suddenly growled. \"I guess I\'m in agreeance with you!\" he laughed. He jumped to his feet and leaped into the sky, followed closely by his king. \"Biggest catch wins!\" he yelled. He took off in a streak of light.

King Vegeta was hot on his heels. \"Like you stand a chance,\" he laughed.

*

Bardock sat back and sighed contentedly, absentmindedly rubbing his full belly. It was his first full meal in days, and he was glad his king had thought of it. The hunt had been fun, and the game they found was delicious. The scent of meat slow-cooking over the fire and the sweet smell of crushed fruit tempted him to stuff himself even more full.

King Vegeta sat down beside him. \"So,\" he said, \"who\'s catch was bigger?\"

Bardock mulled over the question for a moment. \"Well, there\'s more of mine left, so I\'d say mine must have been bigger.\"

\"I beg to differ,\" King Vegeta retorted. \"Mine just tasted better, so we ate more of it.\"

Bardock stuck out his tongue. \"Hardly.\"

\"That tongue all you got, or do you think you can back that up?\"

\"I know I can back it up,\" Bardock said hotly. He stood and looked down at the older saiya-jin. \"You\'ve been sitting on that cushy throne so long you probably don\'t even remember how to fight.\"

King Vegeta flew to his feet. \"You think so?\" he snarled. \"Did you forget just why I\'m an elite? I\'ll kick your ass around any day.\"

Bardock smirked. \"Try me,\" he said. \"I\'ve increased my power dozens of times over while you\'ve sat at the same level for years.\"

King Vegeta growled and threw a punch in Bardock\'s direction. Bardock ducked to the side and easily avoided the blow.

\"Nice try,\" he said. \"Let me show you how it\'s done.\" He quickly dove under Vegeta\'s arms and made a quick jab to his stomach.

King Vegeta dove too late to protect his midsection and keeled over, but quickly straightened up. \"Lucky shot,\" he growled. He powered up and fired a blast at Bardock.

Bardock dove aside and fired his own blast in return, which Vegeta easily deflected. Without hesitating, Bardock charged forward and tackled the king to the ground, taking him by surprise.

The two wrestled on the ground for a few minutes, each trying to throw the other and gain the upper hand. Bardock locked his hands into Vegeta\'s knowing that the older saiya-jin wouldn\'t be able to throw him without throwing himself that way. He brought his knee up into his king\'s chest, hoping to knock the wind out of him.

Vegeta was undeterred, however. The blow to his chest stung, but he was able to flip the two of them over so that he was on top of Bardock. He threw all of his weight down and heard a satisfying crack of bone as Bardock\'s knee bent under the strain. The younger saiya-jin was forced to lower his leg to avoid a serious injury, and Vegeta got the upper hand. He pushed Bardock\'s hands backward, bending his wrists unnaturally and grinding his knuckles into the ground.

Bardock shouted in pain and anger and struggled underneath his king. He refused to give in and kicked outward with all of his might, toppling Vegeta onto his side. Bardock released his grip on his king\'s hands and scrambled to his feet. He had barely recovered his breath when he felt his feet swept out from underneath him, and he was suddenly on his hands and knees.

Vegeta stood triumphantly over Bardock and set his foot into Bardock\'s back. \"So, I don\'t know ho fig fight anymore, eh?\" he asked.

Bardock growled and spun on his knees, throwing his king aside and grabbing his ankles at the same time. \"That\'s right,\" he snarled. He attempted to pull Vegeta\'s feet out from underneath him, but the king realized it at the same time and leaped into the air. His boots came off in Bardock\'s hands, leaving the lower-class saiya-jin fuming. He laughed at the frustrated look on Bardock\'s face.

His laughter abruptly ended, however, when Bardock suddenly appeared behind him. Vegeta tried to race away, but Bardock reached out to grab him. He got a handful of dark blue spandex and yanked. The sound of ripping material echoed through the night air, and King Vegeta was left hanging in mid-air in front of a huge sliver moon with only his chest plate armor and shreds of material on.

Bardock fell to the ground laughing. He couldn\'t help himself. The sight of his king standing half nude in the moonlight was too hilarious, as was the crimson blush of humiliation that crossed the king\'s features.

Vegeta dove at Bardock in a rage, pinning him to the ground. He cursed at Bardock, swearing up and down about the indignity, at the same time trying to rip the armor off of the lower-class saiya-jin so that he could beat him within an inch of his life.

Bardock suddenly shed his armor and dove out from underneath his king, again eluding the older saiya-jin\'s grasp and still laughing at his king\'s embarrassment. \"Aren\'t we powerful now?\" he taunted between laughs. \"Mighty King Vegeta is so humiliated he can\'t even keep a lower-class warrior pinned!\" He turned and waved his tail tauntingly at his king.

\"You\'re asking for it!\" King Vegeta raged. He lunged forward again, only to find himself skidding across the ground and eating a mouthful of dirt and grass.

\"You\'re slipping up!\" Bardock taunted. \"Just admit defeat and I won\'t embarrass you any more.\"

\"Never!!\" King Vegeta roared. \"I will never admit defeat to a low-class piece of trash!!\" He powered up and fired a huge ki blast directly at Bardock\'s chest.

Bardock responded with a blast of his own. The two blasts collided in mid-air with more force than either of the saiya-jin could have imagined, knocking them both backward into the ground. Dust and debris flew into the air around the collision point and showered down on the two saiya-jin.

As the dust settled around them, Bardock sat up and looked around warily, expecting his king to pounce at any moment. His wariness turned to worry, however, as he saw his king lying motionless some feet away from him. He scrambled to his feet and ran to his king.

\"Vegeta!\" he cried. He slid to a stop and knelt down next to his king. \"Vegeta, are you all right?\"

King Vegeta sighed heavily and opened his eyes. \"Yes, I\'m fine,\" he said. \"Just wounded pride. I\'ve never been beaten in battle like that; especially not by anyone less than an elite.\"

\"You gave me a good fight,\" Bardock said. \"To tell you the truth, you almost had me a couple of times; I\'ve just been in similar sticky situations and remembered how to get out of them.\" He flopped down on the ground next to King Vegeta and propped his chin on his hands. \"I actually enjoyed it; it reminds me of the night we bonded with each other.\"

King Vegeta chuckled. \"That was quite the night, wasn\'t it? Everyone was shocked that I didn\'t drag your lower-class carcass back to the palace to display after you challenged me. I think Father had an idea what had happened, but he knew better than to say anything.\"

\"Hm, yeah,\" Bardock said. \"My father was pissed. He thought I\'d gone out of my head when I challenged you to fight, especially in the town square like that. He threw me out of the house when I came back the next morning because he thought I was a ghost!\" He laughed at the memory. \"I guess it\'s not too often that royalty bonds with low-class warriors, huh?\"

\"Never, before we did,\" King Vegeta said. \"I was sure my father was going to kill me and have another son to be heir to the throne. He never said a word about it, though. I guess he figured it\'d be more embarrassment to the royal family to have to start a family again.\"

Bardock moved in close to King Vegeta. He nuzzled him lightly behind the ear, taking in his strong, masculine scent. \"I never meant to cause you embarrassment, you know,\" he said.

King Vegeta responded by nipping Bardock\'s ear. \"Mm hm,\" he replied. \"I know.\"

Bardock quietly slipped out of his remaining clothes and ran his hands up underneath King Vegeta\'s chest plate. \"I hope I\'m not being too forward,\" he said.

King Vegeta smiled at the other saiya-jin. \"Not at all,\" he replied. \"Right now, we\'re not King Vegeta and Third-Class Warrior Bardock; we\'re just two bonded partners. For now, we\'re equals.\"

\"Equals, hm?\" Bardock queried. \"I think I like the sound of that.\" He slipped Vegeta\'s armor over his head and tossed it aside. He crawled on top of his king and scanned the length of his nude body; he was almost diatdiately aroused by the sight of the powerfully built, nude flesh underneath him.

King Vegeta growled a little, noticing Bardock\'s arousal as he did so. \"There\'s no way I\'m letting you be on top, however,\" he said. He flipped them over so that Bardock was on his stomach and he was straddling Bardock\'s backside.

Bardock squirmed underneath him in excitement. \"You may have me for round one,\" he said sexily, \"but we\'ll wait and see for the rest of the night.\"

Vegeta grinned. He leaned down so that his face was next to Bardock\'s. His beard tickled the younger saiya-jin\'s neck, making him squirm more. \"Who says that you\'ll last for more than one round?\" he whispered huskily.

Bardock\'s eyes went wide and he gasped as he felt Vegeta\'s erection pressed against his tight entrance. \"Try me,\" he challenged hoarsely.

Vegeta pushed against him suggestively, prodding Bardock to beg for it. Bardock clamped his mouth tight, however, and refused to be so submissive. \"Come now, Bardock,\" Vegeta said. \"Let me know how much you want it.\" He rocked his hips against Bardock\'s, ever so slightly entering him, teasing him with a trickle of dampness that ran down his buttock.

Bardock panted, straining to keep control. He reached around to stroke himself, to ease his eagerness a little, but the other saiya-jin would have none of it.

\"Ah ah!\" he warned teasingly. \"I can take care of everything you need...just let me know how.\"

Bardock squeezed his eyes shut. He was being enveloped by wave after wave of heat, he felt like he had to submit, but his stubborn saiya-jin pride wouldn\'t let him. Finally, however, he broke down and cried out. \"Please, Vegeta! Now! I need it now!\"

The bearded saiya-jin grinned and thrust sharply against his partner. Bardock screamed, feeling like fire was racing through his body. He instinctively bucked against the pressure inside of him, increasing the feeling even more. Flashes of light lit up his mind, and a cacophony of silent sounds bombarded him. When he came out of it, he could hear Vegeta\'s concerned voice breaking through his consciousness.

\"Bardock! Bardock, am I hurting you?\"

Bardock dizzily shook his head. \"No,\" he panted. \"No, keep going. I...I don\'t know what\'s going on...but I want more.\"

King Vegeta nodded, and thrust down on Bardock again, this time more gently. He rose up and down, falling into time with Bardock\'s heavy breathing.

As the younger saiya-jin recovered, he began to rock with the smooth pace his partner was setting. He took in a deep breath, and the world cleared around him. He was distinctly aware of the smell of a masculine body and he could feel Vegeta\'s sweat dripping down onto his back. He glanced over his shoulder and saw that his king was absorbed in ecstasy, not seeing or hearing anything around him. Bardock smiled and lazily tilted his head back, feeling the pale white rays of the crescent moon shine on his face.

The two of them rocked with steady motion for a few more minutes, then Bardock became impatient and lifted his hips upward, urging his partner to pick up the pace. King Vegeta smiled sexily down at Bardock and complied. The two of them felt themselves building to a climax and Bardock began to forcefully push upward, trying to increase his pleasure.

King Vegeta knew what Bardock wanted, and he reached around the younger saiya-jin and took his hardened length in his hand. He clamped his fingers tightly around Bardock\'s member and began to pump it in time with their rocking.

Bardock groaned at the new feeling of pleasure and rocked harder against his king, feeling nothing but the pleasures in his body and the night air soothing away the drops of sweat that were beading across his skin. He moaned loudly and continued to increase their pace, not thinking, just acting on his primal urges.

Suddenly, explosively, King Vegeta climaxed inside of Bardock; his seed coated the inner walls of the hot, steamy flesh that enveloped him. He sat back, panting, and pulled Bardock into his lap, continuing to roughly stroke the saiya-jin\'s erection. Bardock leaned back against his chest and cried out his pleasure to the night sky as he came, spilling his seed over his and his king\'s laps. He went limp from exhaustion in Vegeta\'s arms.

\"Told you so,\" King Vegeta whispered in his ear.

Bardock was too tired to do anything but grin. \"So I\'m a better fighter...and you\'re a better lover,\" he said.

\"I\'ll live with that, for now,\" Vegeta agreed.

\"Is that a fact?\" a female voice said suddenly.

Bardock and Vegeta\'s heads snapped up in the direction of the voice.

A second female voice chimed in. \"I think I\'ll top both of you as a fighter and a lover.\"

Bardock paled. He looked back at King Vegeta to be sure he wasn\'t hearing things and saw that the king had reacted similarly. He scrambled to his feet.

Three female figures walked toward them out of the darkness. Shukumei walked in front of two other women, one tall and sporting a long mane of spiky black hair, the other shorter and more delicate, but with similarly long hair. Both wore snug-fitting armor and had a brown tail wrapped around their waist.

\"Can it be...\" Bardock whispered.

King Vegetshedshed forward. \"Seika!\" he cried. He swept the short, delicate woman up into his arms and smothered her face with passionate kisses. \"I can\'t believe this! I thought I\'d never see you again! I couldn\'t find you after we died...\"

Bardock had wrapped his arms around the taller woman and was holding her tightly against his body. \"Ninjin! I missed you! I thought I\'d find you after Vegetasei was destroyed, but King Vegeta told me about the complications during your labor...I wish I would have been there for you. I didn\'t want you to die alone like that.\"

\"I wasn\'t alone,\" Ninjin replied. \"King Vegeta stayed by my side, like you asked him to...and my baby...I heard my baby cry before I passed away.\"

\"So that\'s why you were so late getting to Freeza\'s ship to rescue Prince Vegeta,\" Bardock said quietly. \"You never told me.\"

King Vegeta shook his head. \"It wouldn\'t have mattered. That son of a bitch killed me with one blow. He\'d already gotten my son, and that was all he needed.\"

Seika looked up at him in alarm. \"That monster has my baby?!\" she cried. \"No! Tell me it\'s not true!\"

\"He doesn\'t have him any more,\" King Vegeta soothed. \"Our son is safe and happy now.\"

\"How do you know? We\'ve been separated and stuck in Hell for who knows how long! How do you know what\'s happened?\"

King Vegeta pointed to Bardock. \"Bardock, here, acquired an interesting talent before he died. He has the ability to see the future. He told me of his visions. Long ago he told me that our son would be freed from Freeza, and our grandson was the one who killed the tyrant.\" A bemused look crossed his face. \"Don\'t ask me how...I\'m still not sure I understand what happened there.\"

The two women were looking at Bardock curiously. \"Don\'t look at me,\" he said. \"I don\'t understand my own visions. I just tell what I see.\"

\"Darling, did you know we\'d be back together?\" Ninjin asked.

Bardock shook his head. \"No, I didn\'t. I can\'t see everything, just bits and pieces...like a puzzle missing a lot of blocks. I don\'t even understand most of what I see, it\'s images and some rare sounds. I never dreamed that we\'d meet again. King Vegeta and I looked all over Hell for you two, but we couldn\'t find you.\"

\"We\'d lost our life forms,\" Seika said. \"This woman, Shukumei, showed us how to regain our bodies. Demon Lord Daio wasn\'t at all happy, but she told him it was important that we be here.\"

Shukumei spoke for the first time since appearing with the women. \"Indeed, it\'s important for the four of you to be alive again. There are some very complicated knots in my tapestry that your life threads ran right through. In order to re-direct them, I had to restore your life.\"

Bardock and King Vegeta pulled their mates close to them. \"So where do we go from here?\" King Vegeta demanded. \"Do we remain in this place for all of eternity?\"

Shukumei shook her head. \"No, this is just a resting ground. I\'m going to make arrangements with a friend of mine for you to stay on Planet Earth for a while. It shouldn\'t be too hard for you to adapt to that planet\'s climate, and I understand that you have relatives there.\"

\"Relatives?\" Ninjin asked.

\"Yes!\" Bardock exclaimed. \"That\'s the planet that Kakarott was sent to! That\'s where he and Prince Vegeta have raised their families!\"

The women\'s eyes glowed. \"You mean we\'ll be able to see our children?\"

King Vegeta turned to Shukumei. \"Well, will we be able to?\" he demanded.

\"I don\'t see why not,\" Shukumei replied. \"You\'ll be able to talk to anyone you want to on Earth. You\'ll be normal citizens, just like anyone else.\"

Seika snorted. \"Hardly like anyone else,\" she muttered under her breath.

\"Rest for tonight,\" Shukumei said. \"I\'ll try to have the arrangements made by sunrise.\"
