Phoenix Rising: Chapter 3
By: Phoenixical
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ nor am I making money off of this story.

Note: I guess I'm not too bad as a writer seeing that I haven't gotten a flaming review yet. All constructive criticism is welcomed, however. Sorry about taking so long to get this chapter out. Work kind of got in the way. As mentioned before this takes place after the Buu saga. I don't like DBGT, so I tend to act like it doesn't exist.
Pairing: Vegeta/OC, Vegeta/Goku eventually (hopefully the muses don't change their minds)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRASH!!!
The Gods were punishing him. That had to be the answer to his issue. He could not even believe that they would visit this type of punishment on anyone else but him. Closing his eyes he tried to ignore the squabble that was going on in the background. The Gods know he did. If he didn't have to get involved then avoided it like a damn cat avoided water.
BANG!!!
'Please,' he thought to himself, 'make them shut up and quit this shit. I can't deal with them right now. I really can't.'
Unfortunately, the Gods did not seem to see things in his favor at the moment. After the fourth crash, Micael got up from his command chair and headed towards the kitchen in the small mess hall. As soon as he reached the doorway, he heard the screeching insults and threats that his two older sisters, Emerald and Invincible were hurling at each other. Emerald was threatening Invincible, but was stuck against the wall, while the latter was standing in the middle of the kitchen floor trying to dodge the utensils that were being thrown her way. She too was stuck standing where she was at, but she was giving it her all by insulting the crap out of Emerald. Micael sighed, and put his face in his hands.
'Where in the hell is 'Jeeri when you need him? I can't deal with this, I....just...the FUCK!!!!'
"WHAT IN THE ENTIRE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!?!," Micael yelled as he was hit with a big black pot filled with hot water.
Both participants stopped almost immediately and turned shocked eyes towards Micael. Neither of them said a word. Micael was royally pissed and that did not spell anything good for them. Even though they were the eldest of the five, he was the strongest and often times had a short fuse if Majeeri wasn't there to save them. Sapphire was Micael's favorite, but they were Majeeri's favorites, and he would go through hell and high water to keep Micael off their backs. He was glaring at the both of them in open hostility. Just when they started to get nervous, they heard a voice that was like music to their ears:
"You'll never know if you yell and stare at them like you're going to kill them.", the amused voice of Majeeri rang out.
Micael turned at the sound of his twin’s voice and pinpointed his glare on him.
"YOU didn't have to hear the bullshit that they had going on! And YOU didn't get fucking hot water splashed on your ass either!! I think I have a fucking right to kill both of them! That shit was hot!!"
Majeeri took in his brothers’ sodden appearance and tried to restrain the laugh that wanted to erupt from his throat. Another look at the withering glare that his brother leveled at him, and he could contain the laughter no longer. He grabbed his sides as he laughed; tearing up as he tried to stop laughing. Another look at his brother had him on the floor snorting and trying to catch his breath. Micael, on the other hand, did not find the situation amusing at all. His eye started to twitch and he bared his canines at his brother. Majeeri was still laughing and paid no heed to the warning that was issued. Micael, pissed off to the extreme, grabbed hauled his brother up by his hair until they were nose to nose.
"Micael!! Put me down you freaking asshole!!", Majeeri grouched as he struggled to release the grip that was on his hair.
"Why the hell would I want to do that?! You sat up here laughing about the shit they did and now...NOW you want me to let you go!? BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!!"
Majeeri punched Micael square in the nose before he could utter another sentence. That caused Micael to release his hair. Majeeri jumped on Micael and an all-out wrestling match ensued. Emerald and Invincible, who had been quiet during the entire debacle, watch in awe as they saw their brothers fighting. Both of them wanted to break them up, but neither of them had the strength to do it. Just when they were debating about using their mentat/telepath skills to attempt to separate the two, they saw their baby sister walk in. She looked like she had just woken up, and she was pissed. If everyone treaded lightly around Micael when he was pissed off, they were even more conscious of Sapphire. Unlike Micael, Sapphire was a vindictive soul and would make you pay ten times over for what you did to her. She was also the only one on the ship that had beaten Micael's ass in a spar, even though she skirted the rules for the sparring match, she still managed to beat him. That was one thing that made all of them respect her as a force to be reckoned with.
"CAN YOU TWO PLEASE QUIT ACTING LIKE FUCKING ASSHOLES!! WE'RE ONE WEEK OUT AND SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING SHIT READY, BUT NO....YOU TWO WANT TO ROLL ON THE DAMN FLOOR LIKE SOME FUCKING MONKEYS!! GET THE HELL UP AND STOP THAT SHIT!!"
Both males paused in mid-action at the sound of her voice. Micael has his hands around Majeeri's neck, while Majeeri had his fingers poised to poke the living shit out of his eyes. They both looked at her in mild shock. She growled at them and they both stood unsteadily on their feet. Turning to her older sisters, she ground out:
"And what in the hell were you two going at it for!?! That's what woke me up in the damn first place!"
Emerald turned and glared at Invincible. "I told her that it was my time to cook and she needed to clean. She didn't want to do it, so she had me pinned against the wall, with her mind of course, so I pinned her to the middle of the fucking floor and started throwing shit at her."
"It was your time to clean!! Not mine you fucking bakayaro!!"
"You bitch! I'm the eldest twin and what I say goes!!"
"And I'm the smartest one so what I say...."
"ENOUGH!!!", Sapphire screamed, "Just shut the HELL UP!!!"
They both quieted and looked at Sapphire with a little fear in their eyes.
"Both of you will cook and clean together!! Hell, I did both last night, so there's no reason that you two shouldn't be able to do it either!!"
And with that she stomped out of the kitchen and headed towards the viewing room. The other four spared glances at each other before they got up and went to their respective places. Emerald and Invincible both ended up cooking and cleaning as Sapphire had ordered grumbling all the while......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was some time later that Micael made his way down to the viewing room. He wanted to apologize for waking her up earlier. Technically he knew it wasn't his fault, but he couldn't stand to have her mad at him for too long. Coming around the corner he saw that the door to the viewing room was open. Quietly, he crept forward until he was almost all the way in and saw Sapphire sitting in the com chair with her head resting on her arms. She wasn't sleep, he could tell, but she was staring at the picture of their mother.
"Something wrong chibi?"
Sapphire didn't start like he expected her too. Instead she turned her head lazily to look at him. He smothered his natural inclination to say something to piss her off, when he saw the look of fear and sadness in her eyes. It was extremely rare to see her scared of anything and damned unnatural to see her sad. The whole situation took him by surprise. Closing the distance between them quickly, he immediately put his arms around her and pulled her close.
"What is it?", he asked her quietly, "What's got you so upset?" 'Gods', he thought to himself, 'she's shaking like hell....what the world is really going on in here....'
So lost in his thoughts, Micael didn't hear her response. He started, looked at her and pulled her face until she was eye level with him.
"Say that again."
Sapphire sighed slightly and pushed away from her brothers’ embrace. Wiping at her eyes, she repeated what she had said quietly:
"What I said was, he'll know you guys. He had a hand in raising you all. But he won't really know me and he really won't recognize me. Like what if I'm just nothing to him? What if he doesn't even claim me as his? I mean, he didn't even get a chance to name me like he did you all. I'm just worried that I won't live up to his expectations and everything."
Micael could do nothing but shake his head in wonder as she went on to expound about her feelings of the entire situation. He was utterly dumbfounded by what she was saying. Shaking his head slightly, he could do nothing but just look at her in disbelief. Before she could work herself into even more of a tizzy, he interrupted:
"I ought to hit you right now, but because you're upset, I'm not going to do it. I could have sworn that 'Jeeri told you there was nothing for you to worry about. Sapphy look," he said as he eased down to his haunches in front of her, "you're his child. He gave birth to you. That in itself is enough for him to not disown you or anything. And seeing that you're his child, you share the same type of bond with him that the rest of us do. We all have the parent-child bond with him. Granted he's blocked his off for most of our damn lives.....but when he sees us and he opens it back up, there's no way in hell that he can deny us. And do you actually think he won't know who you are? You do know that father sent him pictures and holograms of each of us growing up. He knows you sis, believe me when I say this. There is nothing for you to worry about at all. In all the time that I spent with mom, there was no face that he couldn't remember. Quit all this stressing out for no reason."
Sapphire sighed and snuffled for a few minutes until she gained her composure.
"Thanks," she said quietly, "I needed you to talk some sense into me. I'm just worried about everything, probably because I don't know what to expect. I'm just kind of out it. It seems like the closer we get to the planet, the more I start flipping out and worrying about everything. I know it's just nervous energy, but I really don't know what to expect."
"I know. That's why I'm the big brother and you're the baby sister. I'm supposed to take care of you," he said chuckling. "You know dad charged me with taking care of all of you before he died."
"I miss him.", Sapphire said quietly, "I wish he was here with us right now to confront mom. I think I would feel a lot better if he was here."
"Some things don't work the way that we want them to chibi. We just have to take the good with the bad and keep on pushing and moving forward with our lives. That's what dad would want us to do anyway. And think about it.....as stubborn as mom is and as stubborn and crazy as dad was....this meeting would probably be over before it began."
"I wouldn't say that he was crazy, more so that he just had his insane moments."
Both Sapphire and Micael jumped as they heard Majeeri's voice enter their conversation.
"Is that all the fuck you do 'Jeeri? Sneaking around scaring the shit out of people and interrupting them. That's that bullshit I tell ya!"
"Maybe if you would actually stay aware of your surroundings then you would know when I was coming around!"
"Asswipe! You get on my last damn nerve!!"
"At least I'm not the one that gets called crackbrain on the damn regular!"
"I'll come over there and crack YOUR damn brain if you keep it up!!"
"Your big slow ass would have to make it over here first!"
"I'll bust you a new one!"
"Tough talk from someone who hasn't even busted a nut in damn minute!"
At that, Micael jumped on Majeeri and another wrestling started. Sapphire couldn't do anything but smile and laugh at her brothers. She knew the ridiculous argument was more for her benefit than theirs. And it was working. She couldn't sit here and be sad because she was too busy enjoying the argument. Still laughing to herself she walked forward and proceeded to break up her brothers from actually hurting each other. It was turning out to be just another happy-go-lucky day on the ship.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta was trying to meditate, but it was harder than he anticipated. It seemed like every thirty minutes Trunks would come into the gravity room with Goten and ask him something about Vegetasei. He didn't know where this sudden curiosity for his home planet came from, but he was proud of the fact that Trunks was asking him questions. He was so proud, in fact, that he didn't even listen to the nagging suspicion that kept trying to come forth from the back of his mind. Just as he pushed that back to the outer reaches of his mind and was entering into a great meditative state, Trunks and Goten entered the gravity room yet again...
"Dad...um....I'm not the only Saiyan with different color eyes am I?"
THAT caught Vegeta's attention and made his suspicion come back to the forefront violently.
"Trunks," he said in a quiet voice laced with suspicion, "why are you asking me all these questions all of a sudden and why are you wondering about Vegetasei?"
Caught off guard, Trunks couldn't think of a story to come up with quickly and that's went Goten spilled the beans.
"Well Mr. Vegeta," he said putting his hand behind his head like his father, "We were in your room.....and we apologize for going in there without permission, but Bulma had us looking for her mother's new cat and we thought he might be in your room and we just happened to go in there and we kinda looked in your night stand and we kind of saw some pictures that looked a little weird. And I told Trunks that they looked weird and all and we kept looking at them and...."
Trunks was trying in vain to quiet Goten once he saw the vein in his father's forehead appear. He KNEW he was in some deep shit for sneaking in his father's room and he had no clue how to get out of it. Finally he gave up and grabbed Goten by his hair and proceeded to drag him out the room. They didn't even make it to the door before they were both slammed face first into Vegeta’s chest. Vegeta picked both boys up by the scruffs of their shirts and flew to the balcony to his room. Dropping both boys on the balcony, he opened up the doors and looked into his room. There on his bed was the book with the pictures spread all around it. His walls were sporting images from the few holograms that he had managed to take. There was no doubt in his mind that Trunks was the mastermind behind figuring out how to work the holograms. Turning around slowly, Vegeta fixed his glare on both boys.
“Why would you think that a cat, as simple a creature as it may be, would be hiding in my night stand?”
Trunks and Goten both sidled into the room while gulping. Neither of them knew what to say. Goten was debating about cutting his loses right then and there and try to blast off for home, while Trunks was trying to determine the amount of time it would take for his mother to get there if he screamed. To say that both boys were frightened was an understatement….they were absolutely terrified. Trunks, being the elder of the two and seeing that Vegeta was HIS father, decided to attempt to answer Vegeta and try to work his way out of said shit pile….
“D-Dad…we know we were wrong….a-a-and we apologize. We m-moved the night stand a-and the book just kinda fell out. S-s-s-so we picked it up and saw all the pictures….and we just wanted to know more about you and everything and…..”
His voice trailed off as he saw the intense look of anger in his father’s face. Just when both he and Goten thought they were going to have hell laid upon them, Vegeta’s face softened just slightly. Kneeling in front of the boys he looked at each of them intently before nodding his head as if he had made up his mind about something.
“Next time do not go through my things. It is unbecoming of a Saiyan. It is especially unbecoming of a prince. But seeing as you brats seem to want to know more about Vegetasei I will tell you.”
Motioning for the boys to follow, he walked over to his bed and picked up the first picture that his hand landed on. It was a picture of him and Mica. They were standing side by side, he with his customary scowl and Mica with his smirk. In the picture, Mica’s bluish gray tail was wrapped around Vegeta’s midsection, effectively hiding what was underneath from prying eyes. Vegeta stood there re-memorizing the planes of Mica’s face and body. He was broken from his reverie by both brats looking over his shoulder at the picture he held.
“Mr. Vegeta,” Goten began, “Who is that and why do you have a blue belt on?”
“Yea dad,” Trunks joined in, “Who is he? Me and Goten noticed him in a lot of the pictures with you. And some of those pictures even looked like they had kids in them or something.”
Vegeta debated with himself whether or not to have this conversation. Of course it wouldn’t hurt the boy to not know a thing; on the other hand, he should know more about his family and the life his father led before he was sent to Earth. He glanced over at his son and looked into his eyes. It was the eyes, which reminded him eerily of another, that convinced him to tell the children.
“Trunks….how much do you remember about the Saiyan mating conversation that we had a while back? Do you remember? It was the conversation that your mother said you were too young for.”
The demi-saiyan smiled as he realized that he was getting exactly what he wanted. He was going to get a firsthand look into his father’s past.
“I remember that you said Saiyans mate for life. And that if one of the mated couple was killed that most of the time, the other mate followed shortly. I remember you saying something about Saiyan women…..OH! You said that there wasn’t a lot of female Saiyans, so the males kind of evolved so that they would also be able to carry babies to help the race stay intact! Um….I think that’s all I remember dad…”
“Did I say anything about repudiating a bond?”
Trunks and Goten both scrunched their faces up as they tried to remember that conversation. Finally, they both gave up in defeat.
“No dad. I don’t remember you saying anything about that. I don’t think Goten remembers anything like that either.”
“Nope, Mr. Vegeta, I don’t remember that word. And I would have remembered it because it’s such a big word.”
Vegeta sighed inwardly as he realized that he would have to tell the two young demi-saiyans about repudiating a bond.
“Remember when I told you that there were two clans of Saiyans?”
Both boys nodded their heads enthusiastically at this. They remembered because they were trying to determine who might be more powerful.
“Well the man in the picture beside me is a Phoenix Clan Saiyan.”
Both boys immediately turned to look back at the picture and began to peruse it. After a moment of bewilderment, they turned their faces back toward Vegeta.
“But that doesn’t explain why you all took the picture together dad.”
“Yea, Mr. Vegeta, why did you take the picture? I thought that you hated taking pictures.”
Vegeta closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. It had seemed like such a good idea at the time to tell the boys about the people in the pictures. Now….he wasn’t entirely sure that he wanted to let his life story unfold before the two brats. Turning his head slightly at the barely audible sound of footsteps at his door, he decided to plunge ahead.
“The Phoenix Clan Saiyan in that photo is named Mica. I’m pregnant in that photo….and his is-was my mate.”
Both boys were quiet and staring at him in wide-eye wonderment. Vegeta could see Trunks was mentally going over what had been said in this conversation while Goten was still staring at him in wonder. He almost knew the exact moment that Trunks would ask his question, just by watching his eyes.
“But dad….if he was your mate….and he died…then how are you still alive?”
Vegeta looked sadly at the picture before answering his son:
“He repudiated me,” he said quietly. “It is a gift that was only known to their clan. They could break bonds between themselves, but they had to have certain knowledge and be trained to do it. Even still, it could have dangerous side effects. I was pregnant with our first children in that picture. By the time I gave birth to my last child, Freiza began to view them all as a threat to him. Unbeknownst to me, he planned to have them all killed. Mica somehow found out and he came to me. He told me that he wanted us to go, find another planet, leave Freiza and just raise our children. I-I told him that I could not leave Nappa and Radditz behind. I told him to take the children, since he was stronger, and to hide them from Freiza. He escaped and Freiza became…..enraged….and he took his anger out on me. I took the pain since it would mean that the children would live. Mica had not told me where he had taken them. He did come back, when Freiza was off checking one of his sectors. He brought me photos and holograms of the children and he asked me what type of missions Freiza had me going on. I told him that the missions were increasingly dangerous….and that’s when he said that he would repudiate the bond between us. Neither of us wanted to do it, but it was for the best. It wouldn’t do to have me killed, only to have him die and leave the children without a guardian. Somehow h-he reached into my mind and just seemed to break something inside me. I felt so lost….and it damn near drove him insane. He stayed with me that night and left before Freiza returned. I never saw him in person again, but somehow he had managed to talk Recoome into being a liaison for him and giving me the pictures and holograms. I never saw my children again either. I believe that they might be dead. I tried looking for them once, through the parent-child bond, but I couldn't find them.”
Trunks and Goten were silent after Vegeta finished his small story. They were both shell-shocked by all the information that had been given to them in this short amount of time. Finally, Trunks came to his senses and asked a question that seemed to be bothering him.
“D-dad…what about mom? How do you feel about her?”
Vegeta looked at his son with sadness in his eyes. “I-I love her Trunks, but it is not the same as the love I shared with Mica. Your mother and I are not bonded and have never been bonded. And you are not an idiot my son. I know that you have realized that your mother and I are no longer together as a couple. We knew it wouldn’t work, but the love we have for each other wouldn’t allow us to leave each other alone. But we are friends, good friends to be exact.”
This seemed to alleviate Trunks concerns at the moment. He sat back slightly and abruptly picked up another picture asking his dad to explain what was happening. Vegeta settled himself against the headboard of his bed and proceeded to explain more about his past to the young brats. He kept his eyes neutral as he heard the barely audible footsteps walk back down the hall.
‘I hope you heard what I said onna. I could never love you the way I loved him. NEVER.’ And with that, Vegeta began explaining the new picture to the boys.

Phoenixical: Pfft. You sir are an asshole and a horrible liar to boot.
Majeeri: *snickers at Micael which starts another wrestling match*
Emerald and Invincible: *begin to cheer the fight on*
Sapphire: Will I ever stop being sad and emotionally fucked up?
Phoenixical: *trying to ignore the sounds of the fight behind here* Yea…I’m just trying to flesh out your character a little more.
Sapphire: Thanks. I was wondering about that. I guess I should go break up dumb and dumber now. *walks off to go break up the fight*
