Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail: Wrath of the Reaper

Chapter 2: The Kai's Cube

It took 5 minutes to convince Vegeta to come down from the Gravity Room, but he eventually did. It was obvious, however, that he was not in a good mood.

"This better be as important as you say it is," Vegeta grumbled.

"Quit whining!" Bulma yelled. Vegeta just scoffed and ignored her. They returned to the lawn where Jaco landed to see him staring intently at a metal cube.

"So this is what I had to stop training to see, a metal box." Vegeta's anger starting to reach the boiling point. Jaco turned to them with a deadly serious look.

"This is more dangerous than you can possibly imagine." Vegeta immediately perked up.

This moron never takes anything seriously, this might actually be something big. As Vegeta's mind raced, Jaco began to explain the cube.

"This is an ancient prison we found 50 years ago. It holds a very dangerous tree."

"Your joking right. A tree?" Bulma asked.

"I never joke about dangerous beings," Jaco replied. "This prison has the sapling of the Saihonai Tree. According to ancient legend, it was found on a deserted planet. Some foolish explorers decided to take a sample for analysis. When they brought it to their home planet, they analyzed it several times and found nothing. They eventually decided to plant it and hoped it would grow. But as soon as they planted it..."

"It sprouted and began to drain every living thing of its life force." A mysterious voice interrupted. They all turned to see a familiar face.

"Oh, hello there Supreme Kai!" Bulma said cheerfully.

"I'm sorry Bulma, but I'm here on business." The god smiled weakly.

"May I continue the story?" He asked Jaco.

"Be my guest."

"Thank you, as he was saying, the Saihonai Tree drains a planet and its inhabitants of its life force. A group of wizards created it to resurrect their leader, known as The Reaper. Her strength was so great, us Kais had to wake Lord Beerus to destroy him. " Vegeta raised an eyebrow.

Now that is interesting.

"Once the tree began to kill more of the planet's inhabitants, their own wizards contacted us Kais. We realized the gravity of the situation and I was sent to assist. With my help, we were able to revert the tree to its sapling state and seal it away in this cube. I then took it to another deserted planet to be locked away." The Kai concluded.

"And 50 years ago we found it and locked it away ourselves" Jaco added. "Now that you see how dangerous it is, please help me get the Dragon Balls!"

"You still didn't explain why you need the Dragon Balls," Bulma replied.

"Oh, right, you see a couple thugs heard about the tree and decided to try to steal and use it. We stopped them but the cube was damaged in the process." Jaco turned the cube so they could all see a large crack in it. The Supreme Kai gasped.

"The Galactic king asked me to come here and use the Dragon Balls here to make a new and improved prison." Supreme Kai perked up.

"Yes! That's a great idea!" He said excitedly. Bulma thought about what she had heard for a few moments before responding.

"Ok, I'd love to help, but as I said the Dragon balls are inert right now. However..." Bulma changed to a more positive tone as she sees Jaco's reaction. "... you can go to Planet Namek and use their Dragon Balls!"

"There's just one problem." Vegeta booms. "Planet Namek was restored in a different location, and none of us know the coordinates, and Kakarot is buys on King Kai's world."

"Way ahead of you honey!" Bulma replied with her trademark charm. "Me, Piccolo and Dende mapped Namek's location for just this kind of scenario."

"There is no need Bulma," The Supreme Kai said. "I'd be more than happy to take Jaco myself. I need to see this situation through personally. I can't let something as danger-"

"Hello? Hello hello?" A voice resonates through their heads.

"Whis? What do you need, we're dealing with an important situation here!" Bulma replied angrily.

"Watch your tone Earth woman." An all too familiar voice cried.

"L-Lord Beerus." Vegeta managed.

"It appears that the Supreme Kai forgot we have an appointment tomorrow, We agreed to meet with Gowasu and help him go over new candidates for his apprentice. We have to leave now to get there on time." Whis said calmly.

"Oh, m-my bad, could you, uh, maybe go without me?" Supreme Kai said weakly.

"WHAT!" Beerus bellowed. "Don't tell me your backing out! Your coming!"

"B-But this situation is important! I have to overse-"

"I'm not going alone!" Beerus interrupted. "I don't want to do this as much as you!" When Bulma heard this, she went berserk.

"YOU'RE GOING TO RISK SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THIS GET OUT BECAUSE YO-" Vegeta clamped his hand over Bulma's mouth.

"Quiet woman! He might actually destroy us for that!" He whispered.

"What did you say?" Beerus said in an angry tone. "Nothing Lord Beerus, she was yelling at our son!" Vegeta quickly added.

"It's ok Supreme Kai," Jaco said, breaking his silence. "I'm sure Vegeta and I can handle it." A relieved smile broke across the Supreme Kai's face.

"Thank you, I hate to leave you this task, but I have complete faith you will succeed." The Supreme Kai bowed and warped away.

"Alright let's go!" Vegeta called, already halfway to Jaco's ship.

"This isn't like you, normally there's an argument to make you do anything. " Jaco said perplexed.

"It's clear this thing is dangerous, so it must be dealt with, so let's go!"

"I'll punch in the coordinates." Bulma hurried after Vegeta.

Alright, this is great. Jaco ran after the others. What could possibly go wrong!
