Quick Author's Note

This is the last installment in a series of fanfics that I am writing. You do need to read the second one to understand what is going on in this one, but you don't have to read the first one to understand the story. Nor do you have to read the two spin offs that I made for fun. This series also has a beta reader now, so there will be less mistakes. A few things did change from my original previews, but not too much has been shifted around.

Ages

Raditz: 25

Vegeta: 23

Tarble: 20

Kakarot: 18

He stood a little awkwardly as he looked out the window at the city below them. His city. It had taken 10 years, but they had finally rebuilt everything that had been destroyed in the battle with his father. The planet was at peace over these 10 long years. Well, they wouldn't have been long if he had already taken his mate. Bulma was being a little difficult about the subject. She said she wanted something called a wedding. He had no idea what she could possibly mean by that and to make matters worse, Chichi had run off. She had gone back to Earth for some reason and Bulma wanted her here. It was like he couldn't catch a break.

He was hoping that he could start conquering the galaxy, but without a mate or heir, it was difficult to proceed. If only Bulma didn't want that maid of honor thing. Then this would have gone a little smoother.

He sighed. "Why are women so difficult?"

To his surprise, his advisor chuckled. "You barely know the half of it, my Emperor."

He glared a little over at Bardock. "It has to get better." He stated.

"It has its ups and downs." Bardock sighed. "If only I could get those two to see that."

At that he smirked. "Raditz sees it; he's just hung up on one woman. Kakarot is the problem."

Bardock shook his head. "I really don't know what went wrong. He should have felt the need to mate when he went through puberty."

He couldn't help but agree with his advisor. The Captain of the Royal Guard should have found himself a mate by now, but for whatever reason, Kakarot never fell to the same desires that plagued him when it came to Bulma. Hell, the fact that Tarble had gone so early, made it even more confusing. He had learned from Ginne that puberty happened 3 years after the first kill, so why didn't Kakarot fall under the spell of a woman's scent?

It wasn't as if any of the women on Planet Vegeta weren't trying. Kakarot either ignored their advances or glared daggers at them. Some wanted the status that came with Kakarot's position and others must have found him attractive based on his power.

Then there was Raditz. He kind of wanted Raditz to give up his endless searching for Onna. She was gone and possessed by Zera for far too long. There had to be no sign of her left in there. At one time, there was another girl vying for Raditz's attention, but she had given up and mated with another.

He did have to give it to Bardock's children though. They kept their word. One refused to give up hope and the other said that he would never mate. But that did make them a touch too stubborn for him these days. He needed Kakarot to push away his foolishness and just settle down.

He was pushed from his thoughts as Bulma came into the throne room. "Vegeta, I thought that you were going to send someone to go get Chichi." She said, glaring at him a little.

"As you can see woman, I'm a little busy." He snapped back. He was so tired of hearing about this marriage thing.

"What could be more important than us getting married? I need Chichi here." She said with a pout on her face.

He sighed. "I will send someone, Bulma. It's just a little complicated."

She looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean by complicated?"

"Who do I fucking send after that Harpy? Everyone here is getting ready for our launch against the rest of the galaxy. Our armies are ready to march and Tarble is almost finished drafting out a couple of treaties that will give us control of everything in the Tech-Tech system. Everyone's hands are full." He almost started to chuckle at his mention of his brother's name. Of course Tarble couldn't wait to get to Tech-Tech. He had a mate of his own waiting.

He expected Bulma to back off, but she only gave him a knowing smirk. "What about Kakarot? He's not doing anything."

He looked at her as if she had lost her head. "That is a complete waste of Kakarot's abilities."

Bulma only looked at her nails; a dark chuckle came from her lips. "That may be, but I guarantee you that it's the only way that you will get Chichi to come back."

He crossed his arms. It was no secret that Chichi had an affinity for Kakarot. They had been friends as children and Kakarot was protective of her, but it never went beyond that.

He continued to ponder Bulma's words as she spoke again. "You know that she left because she couldn't look at him anymore. Send Kakarot and I will forgo the marriage idea and mate with you here and now." She had a sneaky smirk on her face.

He had to hand it to her. She had played him pretty well. "You never wanted a wedding in the first place, did you?"

She giggled. "Why would I want one of those over blown things? I'm only interested in the man."

He smirked. "You, sneaky wench." He didn't say it with any malice though.

"You wouldn't have it any other way." She said walking up to him and kissing him. She was never one to shy from public displays of affection, at least she wasn't after she went through puberty, which he had to say made her even more to his liking.

He chuckled as he pulled away from the kiss. "Fine. I shall send Kakarot to Earth, but the moment he's gone, you're mine."

"Deal."

Raditz looked through a bunch of paperwork and sighed. Tarble was rarely in the lab anymore and he had taken control of the place. His best friend was awaiting his trip to Tech-Tech, something that he had not stopped talking about for weeks.

It was kind of nice that he wasn't around at the moment; he was tired of hearing about Gure. He probably wouldn't have been complaining if he had a mate of his own, but it was kind of annoying having someone talk about how they were going to see their soon to be mate over and over again.

He let out a breath as he organized the papers in his hands. It wasn't like he didn't have offers. They just weren't the same. He wanted to be sure that Onna was gone forever and for some reason, he just couldn't let go of the idea. He knew that Zera had complete control at this point, but he didn't know what that meant for him. Did that mean that he was fine with the idea of mating with the woman that once tortured him? Was it okay if she looked like a woman that he really did love?

He knew this logic was flawed, but it didn't stop him from questioning himself. To this day, the only one that knew of his weakness was Kakarot. The fact that he had kissed Zera back all of those years ago disgusted him, but that didn't stop him from thinking about it. Was that what he really wanted? It wasn't that she looked like Onna. It had to be more than that.

He shook his head. He knew that he was crazy. How could he not be after everything that had happened to him?

He put the paperwork up. He couldn't concentrate on it anymore. He pulled himself away from his desk. If he walked around the lab, he could clear his head.

He left his office to find himself distracted immediately by the sight and smell of the lab around him. He longed to start a new project, but the thing would take far too long for him to complete. It would have to wait until Vegeta's need to conquer was quenched.

He got some strange looks from time to time. He was an unmated male in his mid-twenties. That was rare. Most mated in their teens to early twenties. He was almost 25 and people talked. Those who knew nothing about Onna thought that there was something wrong with him, which was backed up by his brother's behavior when it came to women. It was thought that the sons of Bardock were either sterile or there was some other problem. Some said that it was a curse that was laid upon them for bringing back his father and mother at the end of the battle with King Vegeta. If only they knew the truth, then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to judge them.

Maybe he wouldn't be so quick to judge himself.

She chuckled darkly. She thought that it would be harder to get in here. The guard next to her was foaming at the mouth. She had made herself well versed in poisons over the last 10 years. This body didn't have the same raw power that her older one had, much to her dismay. But it had its perks, her mind flashed back 10 years and she remembered seeing him. The object of her desires. Raditz was the way she had always pictured him.

The way he reacted to her words was almost like a fantasy that she wanted to relive over and over again. The way he had kissed her was almost like he was kissing his lover. Something she longed for.

"You're kidding yourself. You know that he wants me." That annoying voice played in the back of her head. She disliked her host, but Raditz was clearly attracted to her body.

"It looked like he wanted me plenty the last time we met, remember that he knew who I was girly." She said to herself.

The voice stopped and she made to walk forward. She wasn't here to be berated by her host. She was here for a more sinister plot.

She chuckled as she walked around the compound. She had the keys that she needed. It had taken her years to get close enough to get the cell number that she needed.

She rounded a corner, but walked back as two guards walked back and forth. She smirked to herself as she pulled out the vial of cyanide and covered her nose as she jumped out and threw it at the guard that had noticed her.

She took a sick satisfaction in watching them grab at their throats. She only wished that he was here to enjoy it with her.

She continued to walk towards her destination though, giggling as she passed cell after cell. Many of the prisoners glared at her as she passed. She longed to kill them but she had to save her poison for the guards.

Part of her hated the idea of coming here. They were the last people that she wanted to see. She hated them. But she needed them if her plan was to work.

She smirked to herself as she stood in front of the cell she needed. It had a special electrical ring around it and she could see them already. Her father sent her a glare. "So a monkey has come here to stare at us as if we are in a zoo."

Her brothers looked at her with disgust, but she only chuckled. "Is that how you greet all of your visitors or am I just special?"

"Leave, unless you are planning on letting us out. I have no time for games." Frieza said, looking at her annoyed.

"I don't know. It doesn't look like you have much to do in there." She smarted off.

Cooler ran at the wall to attack her, but was shocked for his efforts. She had to wonder how strong the current was. It was made to keep them in and her family wasn't slackers.

There was something empowering about seeing them locked up like this though. It was too bad that she had to let them out. "I wouldn't do that again Cooler if I was you. It's going to take me some time to turn off the current." She said turning her back to them.

She could sense their dumbfounded looks. "What are you after?" She heard her father.

"I'm shocked that you don't recognize me, father." She giggled.

They all stared at her shock. "Zera….I thought that you were…." Cooler started.

She continued to giggle. "Someone was stupid enough to transplant my heart into this body."

"It's your fault we're in here!" Frieza snarled tossing himself at the current.

She turned back and glared at him. "You know if you had never brought Vegeta to me, it would have never happened. Raditz and I were perfectly fine."

They looked at her in confusion at the way she said Raditz's name. "Zera, is there something you aren't telling us?"

She giggled to herself. "Oh daddy, you wouldn't understand the thrill of being killed by the person you love." Her laugh was slightly insane as she pushed the button that freed them from their imprisonment.

But they stayed in place and stared at her. "Love?"

She giggled again to herself. "You're free if you didn't notice."

"Why are you freeing us?" Cooler asked.

"Because I need your help with something." She said in a sickly sweet way.

"What makes you think we are going to help you after all of your craziness?" Frieza said, taking a step out of the cell.

She chuckled. "Because my plan involves taking down a bunch of monkeys. Maybe, I can even get my body back."

Her father smirked. "We're listening."

To Be Continued…

Author's Note

Yes, it's back. The planning took forever on this one; that and my classes are heavy, I was sick as a dog, and everything was put on hold. This will operate on a once a week update as I already have chapters in reserve for this. I'm thinking this novel is going to be about the same length as A New Age was. There are going to be a lot of twists and turns and I'm excited for everyone who loved A New Age to finally see the conclusion to this tale. As anyone knows, I refuse to leave any series unfinished. Get ready for an adventure, filled with love, loss, pain, suffering, and perseverance.

On another note- I am talking couple requests for a series of one shots that I am doing for both Dragonball and Fairy Tail. Feel free to send me a personal message about the couples you want to see. I am planning on covering the canon couples, I just need requests from the community. All I ask is that I get nothing from GT. I have not seen GT and I will not watch it as it isn't canon anymore, even if Super Saiyan 4 looks badass.
