Second-best was the fourth Brady Patrick story, and the second of the additional ten stories added. This was the last story I wrote before a hiatus spanning the end of 2012 and early 2013. In addition, although this was the third story on the new list of ten, it was not the original idea for the #3 slot of a story. The original number three was a story about Upa, which I came up with during my quick brainstorm of 10 ideas for a story (of which, I used most of for the additional Brady Patrick stories). But fuck Upa. So I replaced that with the story of King Vegeta sending off Tarble.

But fuck Upa. So I replaced that with the story of King Vegeta sending off Tarble. The origins for this story were not something I had been thinking about, but instead improvised on a whim. While I released Second-best on October 14, I had written it around the time I changed Spoils (the name of the Upa story) to Second-best on September 24. My reason for not posting it was that I was incredibly busy and didn't have time to read it over yet. Once I read it over, it was posted. As for the story, I've felt that King Vegeta is a somewhat misunderstood character. There is bravado and classic kingly instincts within him, but he's also a very caring person. He challenged Frieza to rescue his son, knowing he had no chance of surviving. In The Forgotten, King Vegeta was a major character of the first saga, but his emotions were rarely seen. Being king, he often put on a kingly role, and acted mature and calm. Only in private with Frieza did he show his emotions for a brief moment. In this story, he is basically alone, before the battle - in the deep breath before the plunge - and his emotions can be freely expressed, which helps to give his character the development it deserves. Tarble is not the focus of this story by any means. What is the focus is how Vegeta felt about his son, and a last moment of redemption where he decides to do something nice for his son for once. In essence, Vegeta saves Tarble from the fate he knows the rest of his race will befall should he not beat Frieza. Because of this, Tarble is more of an object, driving certain emotions, than a character. That was intentional, and I really liked doing it. Being how I was able to write King Vegeta completely in character, it worked well to show him in a moment of sadness at the end. Perhaps it is sadness at his own fate, his race's, him not being able to see either of his sons again, or remorse at the life he had lived that caused him to break down in the end; although, I feel like it could be a combination of all of those.
