Episode 22:

BATTLE OF CONFUSION: WHO IS ON WHOSE SIDE?

"Soldiers!" the King bellowed despite his worn body. Vegeta noticed that as the King called for these soldiers a third time that he kept his hand on a device on his person. It was identical to the one the Elmorites wore about their wrists.

There was a loud crash and the earth trembled slightly and Vegeta knew that a gathering had alighted just outside of the castle. His theory was proven as a massive pool of bright light swiftly approached them. The anticipation was nagging at him and he twitched in excitement but instead he looked on with dread and surprise upon noticing who these men and women were. His countenance was greatly exaggerated upon the group falling to their knees in respectful bowing.

"At first, that was why I allowed the boys to survive. I thought that they would have made a great addition to the team despite their disgusting heritage, for I have never encountered such power or at least such resilience from mere children but then again - I changed my mind," the King laughed.

Gawking at the swooshing of tails that hung tight onto the lower backs of several of the soldiers, Vegeta gasped, "Are those - saiyans? But - Beerus, the God of Destruction - he - he confirmed that there were no other survivors in all of the universe but Kakarot and I and our sons! I - I - I can't believe this. I just cannot. Explain yourself, dammit. Explain how is it that you really are still alive?"

"It's simple really," the Great Ruler added, "After the King and I met on the Igmite planet, he needed to be off the radar, so to speak. With their brilliant technology, the Igmites allowed the King and the saiyans and any future generations under his care to be covered from ever being sought out. No one, no matter who they are or what they are could ever trace them. As far as it was known - the saiyan race really and truly was extinct."

"So then - it is true? My race - my people - I am no longer alone."

"Why yes, son - indeed, somewhat. I have been harbouring them for years, low-levels but still very useful after all because of me I have unlocked their true potential. Now I've found you or rather you've found me - together, son, we can build a new world. A new planet Vegeta! Stronger and better than ever before. Forget my past transgressions as I have forgotten yours. Soldiers, show him your power!"

The saiyans whose head count was nearing 60 and the intense golden sheen radiating off of them forced Vegeta to shield his eyes with his arm. As the light subsided, he studied the spectacle with curiousity. All of them were adorned with lengthened, golden hair. All of them had effortlessly transformed to super saiyan 3.

The King laughed, "You've always been a bit smart. With their efforts combined, do you really think that you can take on all of them at once? There is strength in numbers, my boy."

Vegeta smiled and with a wave of power, the crowd of saiyans fell instantaneously. The King looked on both baffled and enraged and his son's mockery only furthered his rage.

"What part of I am a level beyond god do you not understand!" Vegeta chuckled, "And besides, unlike you, I do not lack experience and as such cannot be overwhelmed in such a way. At least your cowardice was not in vain. I must say, it eases the pressure that my race has survived after all and will continue to thrive. I've searched for over two decades without any luck - thinking the worst had already happened. At the very least father, you did some good."

Suddenly, Vegeta stopped laughing and his eyes widened at the odd sensation he was experiencing. He fell to his knees in a dizzying display and he fought to keep on all fours. Without warning, the Great Ruler pounced towards him but there was no preparation for the cruel blow to the side.
