A Universe Called Liagiba

In the limbo Universe of Liagiba… "A Letter"

Vegeta and Goku had postponed their spar in favor of showing their fellow Saiyans the power of Super Saiyan.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Both Earth Saiyans were slowly powering up while Bejito, Bardock, Raddi, and Raditsu watched the numbers on scouters Falcon had zapped. They couldn't register any level higher than SSJ2, but they wouldn't blow up either.

Vegeta stopped at SSJ, then smirked at Goku before snapping into Level 2. Goku rolled his eyes, continuing slowly so the others could catch it. Both stopped at Level 2, Goku grinning, and Vegeta with a smug smile.

"This is the second level of Super Saiyan," explained Goku.

Before he could explain about SSJ3, Raditsu exclaimed, "There's more than one level?!"

"Yep," responded Vegeta.

"And that's not all," continued Goku. He powered up to SSJ3.

Bardock and Raditsu fell over in shock at the change. "Waaah…" Raditsu said, twitching, his green scouter reading "ERROR."

"Where did all that hair come from? You look like Raditsu," observed Bardock, floating to his feet. Bejito, meanwhile, was staring expectantly at his son. Vegeta was glaring back, having no intention of saying he couldn't do SSJ3. He turned to Goku.

"Kakarott! Power down, I plan to continue our spar and I can't have you fainting from stress on your body. You're alive, remember?" Goku grinned and humored him, though he knew they both knew he could have stayed in the third form far longer. Vegeta snorted.

Falcon had walked away from the group and back to her desk while the Super Saiyans showed off. Now she beckoned the only Saiyan who saw her, Raddi, to bring the others over. Her eyes were fixed on the silver circle in her desk, which had started shimmering.

Raddi tapped Bardock on the shoulder. "Bardock? Falcon has something else to show us." She wandered around getting everyone else's attention, then led them back to the desk. Falcon looked up at them.

"We have an incoming message," she stated, pointing to the glowing disc. At that moment, a rolled up slip of paper popped out of it as if it were a portal. Falcon picked up the paper and read it aloud to the group.

"Okay, I want to ask Goku a question. Why you so stupid! And, Radditz, your fly is down..."

Raditsu involuntarily looked down. He turned slightly pink. "Hey, this uniform doesn't have a visible fly!"

"… Made you look!

- Sto®m ;p"

Falcon rolled up the note, opening an invisible-until-now drawer in the side of the desk and tucking it inside. Once the drawer closed, it disappeared again. "Well, Goku? The question was for you."

Vegeta looked ticked, but he couldn't decide whether to be angrier about the slight to his subject or the fact that he wasn't in the letter. Goku frowned. "I wouldn't say stupid is the right word. Naïve, definitely, especially when I was younger, but not stupid. 'Dumb, lovable Goku' is partially a mask I put on so that my human friends aren't scared of me. I mean, super-strength plus smart 'n seriousness…? That doesn't sound like someone you'd go out of your way to be close to if you're an Earthling. I don't like freaking people out unless they've done something bad."

Vegeta eyed him sideways, slightly creeped out. "And what happened to 'happy-go-lucky', Kakarrot?"

"Oh, that one's real!" Goku chirped, dropping his serious face in favor of the trademark Son grin. The others sweatdropped.

"Goku, Oujisama?" Falcon interjected. "There is one form you haven't shown yet." She zapped her closed hand, and then opened it to reveal…

"Portaras?!" Goku gasped.

"Temporary portaras. They work like real ones, but as long as Vejitto stays in this realm I can split the fusion at will. Unless you prefer the fusion dance…?" Falcon trailed off as she looked at Vegeta.

"Oh no. No, no, no no no!" Vegeta backed away quickly. "I am not fusing with Kakarrot again!" He folded his arms once he was a 'safe' distance away.

"Aww, come on Vegeta…"

Thank you, Storm, for your review and questions!
