Description This is a scene that will appear near the end of Okami Vegeta. If anyone has seen Balto recently, then you'd recognize this immediately. I am really proud of this one. It's not the prettiest, but it speaks to the heart with so much emotion that it's hard to describe.
Here is part of the chapter of Okami Vegeta where this scene takes place:
*********************************************************
Feeling the cold stinging his skin as tears ran down his cheeks, Vegeta covered his eyes with his left wrist. His hand hung there while the bridge of his nose held his wrist in place as the blizzard grew as well as his sorrow.
Vegeta: “Help me.”
The silence around him just added to the pain. High above, Goku and the others finally reached the cliff thanks to Issun’s guidance. But the blizzard made it impossible to see anything below and Vegeta’s temperature had dropped so much that it was impossible for any of them to sense his life force.
Goku: “Vegeta! Can you hear me!? Vegeta!”
Tarble: “Big brother!”
When no answer was heard, they all assumed that they were too late. However, Goku and Tarble’s voices echoed to the canyon below. Vegeta heard the echos and uncovered his eyes. His eyes focused instantly on a large paw. Slowly, the prince lifted his head up and stared right up at a large white wolf. The wolf stood right in front of him, as though to block the direction of the blizzard. Though his eyes were still filled with tears, Vegeta could easily see it. It was as white as the snow. The wolf stared at Vegeta with its black eyes, before it closed them and lifted its head high as it howled. When it stopped, it stared back down at Vegeta. But the prince looked away, now too weak to stand. The wolf leaned forward and to the side to look at Vegeta before it walked away and into the blizzard. At first, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him so he blinked a few times and looked again. The saiyan stared at what was left of the cliff that fell from... Wide eyes slowly ran up the mountain and fixed on the cliff high above. Even a saiyan had little chance of surviving a fall from that hight, but Vegeta somehow beat the odds. Roshi had said something to Vegeta before he and Issun traveled to Kamui, and now it made sense.
“Let me tell you something, Vegeta. Even a god could not make this journey alone. But maybe a saiyan can.”
The saiyan prince looked back down at the snow and closed his eyes, deep in thought. Then he lifted his head up while taking a deep breath and turned back to the wolf. But it was gone. So he looked at where it was standing. All it had left behind were footprints, but there was something very strange about them. They weren’t in the shape of a wolfs print at all, but the shape of a hand curled like a paw... Like his. He didn’t know how, but Vegeta, with his arms and legs trembling, stood up and placed his right hand on top of the print. When he removed it, the print was undisturbed.
Vegeta: “Now I understand. The villagers of Kamiki thought you had died. But somehow you really went back in time, back to your time. And after I was born, you went back again. You fought with Orochi again and this time you truly died. You also had the ability to transform into animals and that’s where I got that power. Amaterasu, you really were Shiranui here on earth! And you really were the Queen of Saiyans. I understand now and now I know where I must go from here! Thank you... mother.”
Now Vegeta understood everything. His body flowed with renewed warmth and strength but there was one last thing he needed to do before he attempted the climb. He had to tell the others that he was alive and to thank Amaterasu. Pointing his nose strait down to the snow, Vegeta bared his teeth and snarled as he took a deep breath. When he could no longer hold anymore air in his lungs, the saiyan prince howled strongly as he slowly lifted his head up in the air. When he was out of breath, he quickly inhaled and howled again. The wolf reappeared out of nowhere in the blizzard and stood looking back at Vegeta. When she saw Vegeta howl, and heard its power, Amaterasu perked her ears up and smiled. With 4 great steps, she walked up to her son and stood there while raising her nose into the air. Both mother and son howled in unison as Vegeta’s voice traveled upward.
