Vegeta frowned worriedly at the computer screen in front of
him. We’re going to have to find a hospitable planet to land on soon or go
into suspended sleep. Our supplies are running low. But suspended sleep is not
a good idea… too defenseless… eh? What’s this? His slim fingers danced over
the keyboard, double-checking the data.
/Kakarotto, call the brats here./
/Hai, Vegeta/
As the three walked into the control room, Vegeta did not
look up but continued examining the screen. “Our food supplies are running low
but there is a suitable planet not more than two days journey from here. It is
uninhabited as it is too far away from other occupied planets and also, it is
in the middle of an asteroid belt. Navigation through it will not be too
difficult but it will be tricky. It looks like it will support life and we will
land there to stock up. From there, it is about three months journey to I6.”
“Finally!” Trunks whooped. “I was getting sick of being
cooped up on this ship!”
“Our mission is to stock up on food supplies. It is not some
leisure excursion!” Vegeta growled.
“Sure thing dad.”
-----
As Vegeta stepped down from their ship, he was immediately
swamped by a wave of warm, humid air. Stunned, he stood still and gazed around
him in shock and wonder. Goku moved worriedly to stand beside him. “Koibito?
Are you alright?”
“Kakarotto! This planet… it’s just like Vegetasei!” The
wide-eyed prince fell silent again, studying the lush jungles around them, a
turmoil of emotions running across his countenance and resonating through their
bond. Delight, wonder, amazement… homesickness, sadness, failure, loss, painful
memories…
Vegeta resolutely pushed the memories away and instead
focused on the present sensations. Sniffing the rich air, heavy with the
primeval miasma of damp soil and lush foliage, his tail ruffled in sensuous
delight as his nostrils flared. His keen Saiyan senses could make out the
sounds and scents of the multitude of wildlife here; this planet was teeming
with life. Deep sunlight filtered through the canopy, creating dappled shadows
around them. To the distance, he could make out the rushing roar of a
waterfall.
The others were similarly affected, their dormant instincts
springing to the fore as they took in the luscious vegetation and just the
general feel of life around them. After encapsulating their ship, they took off
towards the sound of the waterfall. Stalking around the clearing in front of
the waterfall, his auburn tail lashing wildly behind him, the prince took note
of a large cave opening with a critical yet approving air. He turned to face
the others, his onyx eyes gleaming. “Excellent. We shall set up camp here.”
Trunks and Goten were about to pop the ship capsule for modern conveniences
when Vegeta stopped them. “No. I am tired of living in a synthetic
environment.”
“Huh? You mean like we are going to rough it out?” The pampered heir to Earth’s
richest company blinked nervously.
“Yeah brat. Too spoilt?”
Trunks bristled. “Of course not!” His father only smirked.
Casually peeling off his tank top and jeans, the prince
strode over to the waterfall. “But first, a swim. I’m feeling gritty.” The
others grinned and followed his example.
After spending almost half a year cooped up in a tiny,
cramped spaceship, the sheer wide expense was liberating. Vegeta surfaced near
a large boulder and hoisted himself onto it. A large tree overhung it, shading
it with its spreading branches. Lying on his front, his tail lazily flicking
from side to side, he watched the others frolic with childish abandon through
half-lidded eyes. The tension that always seems present in the hard-bitten
prince drained out slowly as he lolled indolently. A small smile tugged at his
lips at his thoughts drifted. Ah yes. This trip was exactly what he needed. The
past decade had been too peaceful. Initially he had enjoyed it, savored it,
especially after the Buu incident where he realized just how much his family
meant to him. But since Bulma had passed away, he had started to feel restless
again. He was happy with his family, yes, especially his new mate but he wasn’t
contented. Intense training and work at Capsule Corps helped distract him, not
only from Bulma’s demise but also his growing agitation.
The fights with Coolant’s troops had only served to ignite
the restless fire. He now realize what he was missing. Saiyans are a naturally
fierce, passionate warrior race; the urge to fight, to be free to roam, the
wanderlust for adventure, burned in their blood. Over a decade of peace had not
extinguished the smoldering embers. Frankly, he had been bored, and so had the
other Saiyans.
Still, even bloodthirsty Saiyans need downtime once in a
while and this planet was perfect. And tonight, they would hunt for their dinner.
His blood stirred at the thought of running free and wild through the lush
jungles and his mouth watered at the thought of fresh meat. They had been on
dried and packaged rations for too long. His tail lashed excitedly in
anticipation.
Goku admired his mate who lay sprawled out delectably on the
rock. Dappled sunlight captured his chiseled muscles and satiny skin,
highlighting the auburn tints in his wild locks and lush tail. Moving
stealthily, he crept up behind his dozing prince and knelt down over the
tempting bare ass. Grinding his hips suggestively, he leaned down to plant
little nips and kisses along the crook of that curvy shoulder even as his
callused palms stroked the prince’s sides. A deep purr started rumbling in the
lithe body under him.
“Kakarotto… you had better stop unless you want dinner to
wait. And I’m getting hungry.”
“Well, we’ll just have to make this a quickie then.” Goku growled raunchily, his hands moving
down to cup the prince’s firm ass.
“Kakarotto! I mean it!” Vegeta bucked and squirmed, which
only served to excite the brawny Saiyan on top even more. “So do I!” As the
pair grappled playfully, they rolled off the boulder with a loud splash.
-----
Much later, a sodden but grinning pair made their way back
to the clearing in front of the cave. The setting sun painted the sky in
brilliant oranges and purples and the jungle came alive with sounds as the
wildlife woke up. Dusk is a very good time to hunt.
Goku went over to wake their slumbering sons, who lay
embraced on the thick springy grass. The four had become much closer and at
ease after months of extreme close living; open physical contact and nudity did
not bother them.
Four naked figures leapt silently through the dense network
of branches. At least the two in front did. The two younger ones behind were
making more noise. Vegeta slapped his hand to his forehead in exasperation as
he heard another crash behind him. Turning around, he hissed. “You clumsy brats
are scaring away all the game!” Two mumbled apologies were heard as the
embarrassed sons tried harder to emulate their fathers’ movements.
/Vegeta… they have never done this before./
/Hn. That onna
refused to let me take him out for wilderness training when he was younger,
saying something about being afraid I would abandon him to the wild beasts.
Look at him now! Ach! It’s an embarrassment!/
However, even his irritation at the demi-Saiyans could not
eclipse the ouji’s increasing enjoyment of the hunt. The two older Saiyans
shared meaningful looks and feral grins as they jumped nimbly from branch to
branch in silent synchrony, their blood racing with the song of the hunt.
The demi-Saiyans soon fell into a comfortable, quiet lope
amidst the tangled branches as they picked up the hang of moving more
noiselessly. Though they were bred city brats, their instincts soon kicked in.
Adrenaline coursed through their veins and their pulse hammered with an almost
familiar excitement. It was very much like fighting, yet also very different.
Stealth and skill rather than raw power and speed were more important here.
There was plenty of smaller game in the jungle but the
hungry males were after something bigger. They soon left the dense jungle and
came out onto a more open grassland. Nostrils flared as they picked up the
scent of a large mammal and the four turned as a pack. With silent
understanding, they split up, caging the prey. It was a towering six-legged
beast with dark brown fur, standing well over ten feet. It sheer size and bulk
made it look clumsy but it was surprisingly nimble with sharp tusks and long
claws as it reared up in defensive fury. Still, it was no match for the hungry
Saiyans who brought it down quickly with a few well-placed chops. A short while
later, the formerly magnificent wild beast was reduced to thick slabs of juicy
steaks sizzling over an open fire.
As they made short work of the ton of meat, darkness fell.
Brilliant orange hues gave way to purplish twilight and the Saiyans lay back on
the springy and sweetly scented grass, sated. No words were spoken as they took
in the breathtaking splendor of the transition between dusk and nightfall, as
the sky changed rapidly in a myriad of colors that soon blurred into velvety
black. Sparkling stars and planets (which do not flicker like stars) blanketed
the night sky. The asteroid belt cut a bright glittering swath across the
horizon. Sweet scents wafted around them on the cool night breeze. A bright
silver crescent rose, bathing the Saiyans in its ethereal silvery beams. To
their surprise, a smaller second moon, also just a sliver, soon followed its
larger twin.
/This planet is
really beautiful./ Goku’s mental voice spoke softly, almost reverently through
their bond.
/It is so much like our home world… / Vegeta
sounded wistful.
/Did Vegetasei have two moons too?/
/No./ A light chuckle. /I wonder how two
moons would affect us, once they are full. It looks like they wax and wane on
the same cycle./
/How long do you plan to stay?/
The prince was silent for a while. /I don’t know.
Initially I had only planned a short planetfall, long enough to just stock up
on provisions but now…/
/We’ve fallen in love with this planet./
/Hai…/
/Yet we have a mission./
/We will stay for a week. Then we will come back./ Goku
understood that the prince meant to come back with the other Saiyans.
“Dad? Does this planet have a name?” Trunks spoke softly.
“No, just a number designation.”
“Can we then name it?” Goku wondered.
Vegeta smirked. “Welcome to New Vegetasei.”
-----
They spent the next week stocking up on food supplies and
exploring the rest of the planet. New Vegetasei was slightly larger than Earth.
While lush tropical jungles covered most of the continental land masses that
dotted the unspoilt virgin paradise, vegetation thins to grasslands and tundra
as latitude increases before disappearing altogether in the ice and
snow-covered poles.
They also spent some time cataloging new plants, mainly
along the lines of “Is it edible” and if yes, “Does it taste good?” While the
scanner they brought out could check for known toxins, it fails to filter out
other substances, which may not be poisonous but have interesting side effects.
Goten eyed a brownish red fruit dubiously and took a whiff.
“This smells really, really good! Like lemons and oranges… very sweet and
tangy. It is safe right?” Vegeta continued to study the data on the hand-held
scanner where a small sample of the fruit has been placed and analyzed.
Strange… where had he seen or heard of that particular structure before?
Tri-substituted xanthines? His eyes widened. Xanthine family of compounds… much
like caffeine only this has longer alkyl chains…
“Stop!” Vegeta looked up in alarm at the dark-haired lad who
had finished most of the fruit. Three other pairs of eyes swiveled towards him.
“Nani?”
“How do you feel?”
Goten beamed. “Good! This fruit tastes wonderful! I feel a
little warm but otherwise I feel great!” Vegeta blinked as the demi-Saiyan
continued to gush, waving his hands a little wildly. “Wonderful. It appears
that this fruit is a stimulant, although it doesn’t appear to actually make one
more focused.” Rolling his eyes, he explained briefly to the other puzzled
Saiyans.
Absently, he reached over to the pile of fruits on the
table, intending to grab a handful of the small light purple berries that they
had discovered the day before to be not only safe but extremely sweet. However,
his fingers missed the bowl and picked up the pile of dark purple berries lying
just beside. As they were almost the same size, the prince did not realize
until he had popped the handful in his mouth.
“Vegeta! You took the wrong berries!” Goku cried out in
alarm. He pointed to the dark purple berries. “You ate those instead!”
Vegeta panicked slightly, then covered it with anger. “Baka!
Why didn’t you warn me?” He had already swallowed the berries. Running the
scanner over it, he was relieved to find that it was also safe. Pushing the
incident to the back of his mind, he continued to examine the pile of fruits on
the table.
However, he soon started to feel warm and tugged off his
thin tank top. That action did not help though, and if anything, he began to
feel even hotter. Yet it wasn’t an unpleasant kind of heat…
“Kakarotto…” The others looked up in surprise at the
prince’s sudden low purr. Vegeta was stripped down to a pair of thin black
boxers, his face flushed becomingly and there was an unusual glint in his eye.
His lips curled up in an inviting, seductive smirk even as his tail started to
wave sinuously behind him. Without any warning, the prince pounced upon the
started Saiyan like a large cat, straddling and kissing him aggressively, a
loud purr resonating forth from deep within his throat and his fluffed out tail
waving high like a flag.
The boys could only stare; jaws dropped, as the prince then
lifted his larger mate easily over his shoulders with a smirk and bounded off.
“What just happened?” Goten finally broke the silence.
Trunks eyed the pile of purple berries speculatively and
with a knowing smirk, picked up a handful. “Oh, Goten?” As his unsuspecting mate turned, his mouth
unfortunately opened as he started to speak, the wickedly smirking demi-Saiyan
popped the berries into his open mouth.
Meanwhile…
Goku tried to speak but his breath came out in jerky gasps as his solar plexus was repeatedly bounced on the prince’s shoulder. Vegeta stopped for a while, looking up at a large tree and without warning, started to clamber up easily despite his large burden. Finding a nice broad branch, he promptly deposited his prize roughly and started to unwrap it.
“Vegeta, what are… ” His query was cut off by a hot mouth
and as Goku leaned into the kiss, he was wondering to himself why he was
protesting anyway. Picking up the long brown tail, Vegeta started to stroke the
fur, breaking off the kiss to look down smugly at his moaning mate. With a
wicked smirk, he popped the tip into his mouth and started to lick and suck
wetly. Goku gasped loudly and bucked so hard he almost fell off the branch.
Clutching the rough bark weakly, he could only lie there and writhe, completely
at the mercy of his mate who isn’t exactly known for mercy.
Luck was on his side today. Vegeta was extremely aroused
already from the berries and watching the luscious form below him squirming and
moaning was almost more than he could bear. He removed the sodden tail from his
mouth to wet his fingers, and quickly stretched the brawny Saiyan’s entrance.
Releasing the tail, he placed his small hands firmly on the muscular hips, jerking
it up to him and sheathing himself in a quick stroke.
Goku arched and howled at the sudden white heat of pain at
the intrusion and the prince paused for while to let him acclimatize. Slowly,
he started to move in long, hard strokes. Goku growled impatiently, rolling his
hips in a clear message but the prince ignored him.
Suddenly, it was Vegeta’s turn to arch back and howl as a
wet, furry length entered him. Dimly, his mind registered it as Kakarotto’s
tail but soon all coherent thought fled as the furry coil started to pump
rapidly, the short hairs rubbing and enhancing the torturous pleasure. He
started to thrust harder in unison and it wasn’t long before their shattering
climaxes claimed them.
As they lay panting, trying to slow their racing pulse, Goku
grinned. “Wow, ‘Geta. That was fantastic! But let’s get back to the campsite
soon, I’m getting hungry.”
A hand crept up his thigh, massaging the sensitive skin of
the inner thigh. “Who said I was done yet?” The ouji purred predatorily. “I’m
still feeling… very hot…”
Onto the next part!
