#agentoblivion

King Vegeta's solemn face, touching his forehead to Vegeta's little one together in a gesture rarely given and received, one final time before Frieza came calling.

Fighting for survival, not for its own sake. A Prince destined to and for slaughter.

Looking down from his high spire upon Kakarot. Spiky bangs framing a determined gaze. Vegeta had not been prepared for what he had seen in those eyes that day - apprehension, yes, light anger, yes, but also- excitement.

Watching Kakarot slaughter the Ginyu force easy, without actual slaughter. Vegeta's fury had been tainted with awe. How had this third class become so much stronger so fast?

Kakarot arriving, solemn and powerful like the light of the full moon. Moments before Vegeta was shot clean through the heart, physically manifesting what had been an already dying spirit over the years.

Desperation as he lay dying at Kakarot's feet, begging to give some meaning to all the senseless tragedy both caused and received.

The first moment Vegeta laid eyes on that brilliant, golden fury of super saiyan: Kakarot's softness giving way to something darker... but strangely without malevolence.

Watching his son from the future meet a terribly similar fate to his own first death, shot clean through the abdomen this time. Realising for once, rage could live in more than vengeance. Could arise out of unexpected atachments.

Kakarot's peaceful smile, gentle green eyes right before he morphed away to die, right before the world completely lost all meaning.

Finding that meaning slowly over 7 years, in blue eyes sharp with intelligence, unsaiyan purple tufts of hair framing a piercing young gaze that is so very saiyan.

Submission to Majin. One moment of selfishness; desperation to be seen and acknowledged, leading to the whole world's destruction. But that wasn't new for Prince Vegeta right? Destined for destruction.

Except, at the last moment, he wasn't. From the enemy to the wildcard to the ace. Prince Vegeta and Kakarot -Son Goku- had made the final stand not as reluctant allies, but as friends. Maybe more than that.

The arrogant and the protective; the fatalistic and the spirited. What neither of them ever lacked was courage.

Leaving out of self hatred, only to return out of care of something bigger than himself.

- a snippet of chapter 9 of my KakaVege fic, Agent Oblivion

Just recording here because I am feeling melancholy from the last chapter of DBS and reflecting on Vegeta’s life trajectory.

Had planned a sequel for @kakavegeweek prompt “secret agents” but it may not come out in time...

Image from Runta Heruman. A Goku version does not exist; I may attempt one to mirror it

People hyping over Goku in black, short sleeved skin tight shirt and I’m sat here thinking I literally wrote in c11 of my fic Agent Oblivion- how Vegeta’s mouth goes dry when he sees Goku in the black short sleeved top 😂 the timing

Also Vegeta in the coat is 💙🧡

In case anyone is interested the link to the specific chapter of my fic is here:

I created a collage of the most pivotal moments of Goku and Vegeta’s relationship through DBZ as the basis for my chapter art of Agent Oblivion - epilogue.

We have hit the end :’3 thank you to everyone who has supported, loved , screamed at me for this fic. I love and treasure each and every comment, lurker, supporter , obsessor. I may sometimes reshare bits of the story for memory but for now, one journey closes as another begins.

A snippet:

Neither Goku or Vegeta are particularly sentimental, but some days later, it’s an unspoken agreement to meet in the plains reminiscent of where they first clashed.

That’s when it happens: Goku and Vegeta's first all-out spar in three years since this entire ordeal began. And it’s nothing short of glorious.

The game is slightly different now, because they’ve both grown stronger in the years apart, picked up things to throw eachother off guard.

“Is that the best you can do, Kakarot, after three years?”

“You wish -I’m just getting started!”

The heckling, Vegeta meeting Goku fist for fist, blow for blow. The fierce nature of their exchange, belied by trust. The mutual sentiment of not holding back anything, because the other can take it - will take it, not break. Patch up the pieces together after.

Afterwards, the two Saiyans somehow end up watching the sunset morph into twilight together. Goku can feel every ache in his body, every beaten muscle, bone and sinew reminding him just how amazing it is to be alive.
