Reborn As Vegeta - Chapter 17 Cooler Arrives
Goku and Vegeta returned to earth and went off to join their family, Vegeta arrived a Capsule Corp to see Bulma working on a new space ship, Vegeta checked in on Trunks, he was playing with Goten, they both had just turned two, born much earlier than in the original Canon and full-blooded Saiyans they already looked like they were four.
Vegeta smiled and walked up to his wife and gave her a kiss, “Good morning,” Vegeta said placing his arms around her waist.
Bulma smiled, thanks to the training she received from the other Saiyans she had her power level rise greatly as well, she wanted to train with Vegeta, but he said, “No matter how much you ask, I won’t be able to hurt my Bulma.”
Bulma gave up after that and accepted his help by constantly maintaining a Re-Heal spell on her.
Bulma was considered part of the Strongest Wives Under the Heavens Group, Bulma had a power level of 135 Million, while Chichi had a Power Level of a 138 Million, and lastly, Gine had a power level of 140 Million.
Vegeta felt Bulma grabbed his wrist and said, “So did you have fun training with Goku?”
Vegeta laughed, “Not as much as I missed you!”
Bulma turned around and laughed, “Maybe we should spend a few days inside the Training Grounds on Earth.”
Vegeta grabbed Bulma and said, “Come on, let’s go!” He looked over to see Raditz chatting with Tights in a friendly manner, “How long has he been here?”
Bulma smiled, “Apparently they hit it off well, they just decided to start dating.”
Vegeta started to sweat, “Oh god, if they marry Kakorot will be my brother in law!”
Bulma laughed, “It’s not that bad.”
“He’s my rival, not my brother, oh no, what if calls me Onii-Chan!” Vegeta felt a chill crawl up his spine.
“He’d do that just to get at you!” Bulma laughed.
“It’s not funny!” Vegeta countered.
After letting out a sigh, he looked to Trunks and Goten before saying, “Kids, we’re going to Turtle Mountain, Trunks can spend a few nights over at Goten’s place.”
Goten jumped up, “Yay! Trunks can sleep over at my place!”
Trunks ran over to the window and opened it, “The last one there is a rotten egg!”
Trunks blasted off, “No fair Trunks! You cheated!” Goten took off after him.
Vegeta laughed as he teleported Bulma to Goku’s house, the changes that took place around Goku’s residence was pretty big, Bulma helped them pick out a much bigger house to live in, and a few dozen miles away was the where the Dojo was built, many fighting platforms and gravity training rooms were set up, around them were dormitories for live-in students.
Tien and Chiaotzu had become trainers at the Dojo, along with Grandpa Gohan, and Krillin, even Master Roshi came by once and a while to check out the young ladies in training.
Yamcha, however, had quit martial arts and became a baseball player.
Tien’s Power Level was at 70 Million.
Krillin’s Power Level was at 90 Million.
Chiaotzu’s Power Level was at 45 Million.
Grandpa Gohan was around a thousand, he didn’t so much as partake in the physical training as much, “Too much strain on these old bones,” he’d always complain. He worked much better as a teacher, Goku was terrible at it, it took him a long time just to learn to teach with proper words instead of sound effects and gestures with his body.
Bulma and Vegeta arrived to see Trunks and Goten arriving a few seconds later, Gine and Bardock were the first to see them, “My Lord!” the two gave a salute.
Vegeta waved his hands, “It’s alright…” The sound of Trunks and Goten landing on the ground drowned out his voice, “I win!” Trunks shouted.
“You cheated Trunks, you didn’t line up with me!” Goten countered before running over to Gine and shouting, “Grandma!”
Gine picked Goten up and cuddled his cheeks, “You look so much like your father, you have your mother’s cheeks though!”
“Hey, Kid don’t I get a hug!” Bardock pointed at himself.
Goten jumped into Bardock’s hug and laughed.
Turles had left the planet in search of Vegeta’s brother, and other Saiyans that might have survived the initial explosion. He was trying to atone for his actions, they kept it a secret but eventually, he found out what he used to do.
He decided to try and persuade other Saiyans that might be going down the wrong path, and return them to the Plante Salada, where he lives now while representing the Son Family.
Goku and Chichi came out to greet everyone, as they talked Goku and Vegeta sensed a powerful surge of energy enter their solar system.
Everyone looked up and could sense the terrifying power getting closer and closer to earth at a rapid pace, Vegeta and the group quickly blasted off in the direction of the space ships that had arrived.
The Z fighters all appeared out in a large wasteland, the ship was getting closer and closer to their position when the shape of the PTO’s mothership appeared in the sky.
Dozens of PTO dropships flew alongside it and landed on the planet not to far from the mother ship.
Vegeta and everyone else was staring at the purple and white colored frost demon descend in his base form.
He looked around the area and said, “This is a nice planet, it should fetch a high price.” Cooler said with a grin, waving his hand he shouted, “Move out, and find me those Dragon Balls.”
Vegeta and the rest were about to make a move, when suddenly, a voice called out to stop them, “I don’t think you’ll be making a move anytime soon,”
Everyone looked over to see a blue-haired youth wearing a capsule corp jacket and carrying a sword on his back, he was staring down the Frost Demon when he said, “So you must be Frieza,”
Cooler made a funny expression and proceeded to laugh, “No, I’m afraid you have me confused with my brother,”
Future Trunks made a confused expression, “Odd, did I come to the wrong time.”
“Are you an Earthling?” Cooler asked with a cold smile.
“You’re half right.” Trunks began sensing the power levels for all of Cooler’s men, Trunks frowned and immediately turned into a Super Saiyan, and without warning, he attacked the army, with a power level of a 162 Million, only Cooler could stop his attacks.
Cooler was ready to make his move when Vegeta and Goku appeared out of nowhere, both of them had entered their Super Saiyan 2 forms and punched out at Cooler with all their strength, Cooler, who was extremely suppressed, raised his arms and blocked their attacks.
This split second allowed Trunks to completely wreck the Cooler Force, as he came to a stop and sheathed his sword, countless explosions went off in the sky, all of the space ships full of PTO Soldiers crashed to the ground in a haze of fire.
It appeared the only one to survive the attack was Salza and his men, Salza had eaten his second Fruit of Might and gained the power level of 165 Million, just slightly weaker than Trunks.
He looked on in horror as the wreckage came raining down beside him, a vicious cut across his chest caused him to leak a small pool of blood as he grasped it and fell to his knees.
Trunks looked back at his father and Goku in surprise, “Either mom has a terrible memory, or I really came to the wrong timeline!” He could feel the power rolling off of them like a calming storm. “If they had this kind of power, this can’t be the past, where am I?”
Because Cooler was in his base form, or rather his 4th form his power was sealed to 250 Billion, Goku and Vegeta knew that their power level of 15 Billion currently wasn’t Cooler’s match.
Vegeta grunted and thought, “How did he get so strong!”
Goku was thrilled to be fighting such a powerful Frost Demon as he transformed into a Super Saiyan 3 and used a Kiaoken Times 10 before punching out again.
Goku’s Power Level shot up to 450 Billion, Cooler was taken by surprise as Goku’s punch railed into Cooler’s face and sent him flying into the sky.
Vegeta transformed and activated his Kokoro-Ken Times 10 and appeared behind Cooler before kicking him in the back, Cooler’s body shot up into high atmosphere before came to a stop.
Trunks and the rest watched on in shock as Goku and Vegeta pushed Cooler higher up into space, Vegeta took this time to charge up a full powered Galic Kamehameha.
As the indigo-colored blast stretched across the sky, Cooler shouted and transformed into his 5th form, his power level shot up to 800 Billion causing the space to shack and rattle all across the planet.
Everyone on earth shook as they felt Cooler’s massive Power Level blasting throughout their universe, several Saiyans on Planet Salada also felt their battle going on.
Vegeta Senior frowned as he felt the power was similar to the Frost Demons, he gathered as many Super Saiyans as he could and stood together in case the frost Demon came to their planet, if Cooler did, he would be met with a combined Super Saiyan Ki blast that numbered in the dozens.
Vegeta and Goku were smiling ear to ear, “Kakorot, I call dibs,” Vegeta said as he felt his Saiyan Blood boiling.
Goku frowned, “No way Vegeta, you got to fight last time!”
“Are you challenging your king?!” Vegeta grunted.
“Hah, you know your not my King!” Goku stuck his tongue out, “I live on earth!”
Vegeta held out his hand “Play you for it!”
Goku smiled, “You’re not gonna win this one!”
Cooler stared at them in disbelief, “What the hell is happing here?” he thought as they started playing, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Goku lifted his hands up in victory as he shouted, “Hahaha! I win Vegeta!”
Vegeta crossed his arms and powered down, “Fine, don’t get sloppy!”
Goku grinned and said, “I Got this, Kaioken Times 20!”
His power level shot up to 900 Billion, everyone was shaking with trepidation as they felt Goku’s strength completely surpass Cooler’s.
“What power!” Trunks thought as he saw Salza trying to hide in the distance.
Salza pulled out a small green seedling and tossed it into a crevice, Trunks appeared above him and ran his sword through his chest before saying, “Sorry, but I can’t have you causing trouble here.”
He looked back to the sky and focused in on Goku fighting, “Mom was right about him, he really is the strongest.”
Goku stared down Cooler and said, “Let’s have a good fight!”
Cooler frowned and said, “Are you the one who killed my brother?”
Goku shook his head, “No, but if your looking for revenge you’ll have to get past me first!”
“Revenge, I want to thank whoever killed my brother, however losing all my forces like that was a little disappointing, I know Frieza hated you Saiyans, but I held you in a different regard. Join me, become my new soldiers, with your power you could help me conquer the universe!”
Goku shook his head, “Are we going to fight now, because if you aren’t done, then I’m just going to go ahead and attack now.”
With a blast of Immense Speed, Goku shot out at Cooler and appeared in front of him before he could react, Goku raised his fist and punched out with all his might.
A loud boom was heard as Goku sent Cooler reeling backward, Goku shot over and kicked out at Cooler’s hip, once again Cooler was sent flying away, “Danm it, where is this strength coming from!”
Goku went on the offense, he continued to attack with dozens of punches and kicks, Cooler was taking damage, when he suddenly countered, Cooler’s fist shot out at Goku’s throat, Goku placed the bottom of his foot against Cooler’s knuckles and jumped back.
“Super Kamehameha!” Goku shouted as a giant Ki Beam engulfed Cooler and shot him down towards the ground, Cooler raised his arms and pushed back against the beam while shouting, “You dirty Saiyan Apes! How dare you!”
His power level began to grow during the fight, little by little he was catching up with Goku, they struggled for a few minutes before Cooler finally managed to knock the beam away.
Goku was about to charge at him when a massive tree could be seen growing in the distance, everyone down on earth had their energy drained almost to zero, the roots spread out and covered a large section of the surface and destroyed cities and entire towns.
The Z fighters closest to the tree felt the biggest drain in their energy, the roots were wrapped around them and caused the Tree of Might to rapidly accelerate its growth.
“My energy?” Trunks said a he felt the roots tighten around his body, all the Z Fighter’s were in the same position, they were so concentrated on the fight, that the moment the roots latched onto them it was all over.
Cooler grinned as he took flight towards the Tree of Might, Goku frowned and was about to go and help everyone, when Vegeta shouted, “I got this, go after him! Don’t let him eat any of those fruits!”
