A/N: (sigh) the P.O.V. switches around in this chapter too, but I kinda
like it now that I'm fixing up the page.
Vegeta
flew towards Goku and Frieza's ki signatures and stopped dead as soon as
he saw Goku. A Super Saiyan! Kakarotto is a Super Saiyan! He stared
at the golden hair and green eyes, and marveled at his huge increase in
ki. Then he realized..
"Frieza's no match for him.." he wanted to laugh,
but part of him was too angry. Damn him! He thought.
But he realized it was what he'd asked Goku to do before he died.
Well he'd be damned if he didn't pay Frieza back for killing him!
He charged forward and punched Frieza in the jaw
throwing him back. Frieza quickly regained his footing and gazed
upon Vegeta. His angry glare died as he realized who was in front
of him.
"What? Your dead!" he spat.
I opened my mouth to reply but nothing came out,
I got dizzy and closed my eyes (which, of course, made me more light-headed)
and when I opened my eyes next I was surrounded by a thick, green forest
and the sky above was blue!
"What the hell?"
He heard other voices crying out in joy, he wondered
at the sound. He flew towards its origin and found a large group
of Namekian's, two humans, and the hybrid. He stared from afar.
I remember that girl with the blue hair! He frowned at the
thought. So what if he did? He remembered the other's as well
but he couldn't recall their names. He noted the extra large Namek who
was surrounded by the other green aliens.
"Guru!" one cried running up to the small gathering.
"We can't find the Anasazi tribe! Everyone from their village is
missing!"
"The wish was supposed to bring back everyone Frieza
killed." Vegeta grinned rakishly and he burst out laughing. Everyone
turned toward him. Bulma let out a shriek and cowered behind Gohan.
"They aren't here because I killed them!" he said.
He laughed harder at their horrified expressions. He laughed at their
looks of disgust, fear and anger. He reveled in their fear for a moment.
"And I am now the strongest fighter in the universe! I will get the
dragon balls and wish for immortality! Then I will sell this planet
after I've killed everyone on it!" he laughed. He felt a twisted
delight at the thought of slaughter. He grinned malevolently.
"You jerk!" ah! Now Kakarotto's brat wanted to challenge
him. He laughed at the small hybrid before him. He is strong,
but I am a greater fighter than he is. I am stronger. I will
win.
"What's the matter brat? Worried about your
stupid father?" he smiled as Gohan growled in fury. No one
talks about my dad! Gohan thought as he charged. He actually
hit Vegeta a few times. He was indeed strong. But as Vegeta
quickly recovered from a blow, he smirked in satisfaction. He appeared
in front of Gohan, his knee slamming into Gohan's chest as both elbows
came down on his shoulders. As the air was forced from his lungs,
Gohan thought of Goku, hoped he would live to avenge his death. But he
couldn't be dead, not his dad. Three successive punches sent him
hurtling to the ground. He was stunned and he sluggishly came to.
He was alive, but man, he hurt!
Vegeta stared down at the boy in contempt.
He was lucky he'd been spared, after all Vegeta wanted him to be
strong when he fought him again, for the last time. King Kaiou spoke
to Guru and informed him that the planet Namek had been destroyed.
Everyone cheered. Vegeta snorted in disgust when Gohan began to cry when
he couldn't sense his father anymore. Neither could Vegeta, but he
knew somehow that the other saiyan was still alive.
He wanted to leave the whole scene right then and
there especially when the huge Namek announced that he was about to die
and all the others started to whine and cry. It made Vegeta want
to throw up, but something made him sit there and wait.
"If you guys need a place to stay you can all come
the Capsule Corporation. We have tons of rooms. Even you Vegeta!"
his ears perked at the mention of his name and he turned and glared at
the blue-haired girl. She noticed his scowl, and smiled. Stupid
girl, only a few minutes ago she was screeching and cowering behind Kakarotto's
brat, now she dares to address me directly?
"Come on, don't be so stubborn! You have no where else to go! And besides,
your kinda cute!" What?! He had to bite his lip to keep from blushing
stupidly and making a fool of himself. That.. Damn.. WOMAN!!
He quickly stood.
"Idiot! You don't know what your getting yourself
into." She didn't hear his warning or she was ignoring him. Either
way, he was pissed.
The Capsule corp. was a strange place Vegeta immediately
decided. A small, blonde woman walked right up to Vegeta and gave
him a glass of some pinkish liquid. He sniffed it and tiny bubbles
tickled his nose. He dropped the glass though, as soon as he saw
Mr. Briefs walking out of his newest space ship. As soon as he was
busy talking to Bulma, Vegeta took off, bolting inside and started pounding
buttons. He didn't understand what he assumed to be writing, he'd
never seen anything like the strange symbols in front of him.
"Damn it!" he cursed and punched a few buttons.
The door pulled shut and the panel lit up. He could hear the main
engines come on. Before he had time to sit down the ship took off
and almost threw him to the ground. He grabbed onto the chair and
held on for dear life as he shot away from Chikyuu. Soon it slowed
and he looked out one of the small windows to watch the earth fall away.
It is very nice, from far away. He chuckled. He had gotten
out of that situation at CC with no trouble. Now he could concentrate
on finding Kakarotto.
But first, he was hungry. He actually couldn't
recall the last time he'd eaten and now that he thought about it he noticed
the gnawing pain. His stomach felt like it was trying to eat itself!
He noticed a set of stairs leading down and he stumbled down them.
If there's no food in here I'm going back! He thought, even though it seemed
like a sign of utter failure for him to quit before he'd even begun to
search for the Super Saiyan. He entered the lower deck and saw a
huge, white containment device. He threw open both doors and was
greeted with a fully stocked refrigerator. He squealed in joy, ignoring
the fact that squealing period was something he'd never done but who cared?
He was so hungry he could probably eat the entire contents in the cooling
unit. He grabbed as much as he could hold and sat down on the floor
and tore into the packages and began to devour everything in sight.
When he was done (and half of the 'fridge was empty) he noticed the
bed in the far corner. Does being dead count as sleep? He
wondered. The last time he'd gotten any sleep was right after they
put Kakarotto in the re-gen. tank after defeating the Ginyu force.
That had only been a whopping hour nap. He flopped down on the bed
and passed out.
Vegeta awoke with a start. He had been dreaming
of something.. Someone had done something to him and his face had
been bleeding. It hadn't hurt but he had been worried about a huge
nasty scar...
He looked at the timepiece next to the bed.
When he had went to sleep it read four hundred, but now it said twelve
hundred. He was surprised. He rarely needed eight hours of
sleep. He got up and went up to the top deck and noticed that he
was an hour away from his destination.
Planet Frieza 39.
Vegeta searched until he found a home base.
He formed a ki-ball and sent it flying into the side of the structure.
There was a deafening explosion and he waited for the inhabitants to come
out.
About 60 or more Dakian warriors came rushing out. Vegeta grimaced,
they had to be the weakest of Frieza's forces relying on firearms instead
of their own fighting power, which was understandable as their fighting
level ki was virtually non-existent. He watched as the purple, mottled,
squid-like men charged towards the cliff he perched on. With a smile
he rose to his feet and levitated up and floated down to meet them.
The general of the forces squeaked in alarm when
he saw and recognized Vegeta.
"It's the renegade Saiyan! He is one of the elite!
We cannot hope to defeat him!" he cried as Vegeta quietly headed towards
them.
"If we don't," the sergeant replied, "Lord Frieza
will destroy us.. And if we do, the reward will be great indeed!" the General
nodded slowly and sighed, Sergeant Dai was right, they had no choice.
They had to fight.
I don't even need to use ki to defeat these weaklings!
He smiled at the thought, it had been awhile since he practiced basic moves
and fighting techniques. He watched their charge with interest before
dashing in the middle. He kicked one in the stomach, its eyes widened
in shocked pain, he'd seen nothing. Vegeta almost sighed, this would
not be any challenge. But he didn't care, he laughed as an enemy
raised a ki-shooting gun specially made by Frieza's most brilliant scientists.
He grabbed its wrist and with a slight tug, tore its arm off at the shoulder.
It screamed in agony and Vegeta smiled. Now he was having some fun
at least. He went through the ranks kicking, punching, gouging, and
dismembering. In his wake lay blood and mangled bodies. Most
had decided to flee, but he caught a few and demanded to know if they'd
seen the Super Saiyan with golden hair. None had, and in his rage
he'd crushed their limbs like brittle twigs.
He went back to his ship disappointed, but calm,
having released a good deal of rage on the Dakians. He sat in front
of the controls, wondering where to go next. Kakarotto had to be
on his way home, but how far away was he? Wondered briefly if he
had enough fuel to go any farther. He didn't want to stay on this
planet. It was a barren rock, more like a moon than anything else.
He punched the button that started the main reactor and powered the
engines. As he sat back and waited for lift-off, he noticed a series
of beeps and a panel lit up with a flashing message. Of course he
couldn't read it, he couldn't decipher the symbols. But as
the ship tore through the atmosphere he wondered if it was taking him back
to Chikyuu. He shuddered at the thought, he poked a few buttons hoping
to get a response, but nothing happened. Oh well, he
sighed, and went to the refrigerator. I can't do anything now,
when I get back I'll refuel and leave.
The next day he landed on Earth. As soon as
he got out of the ship he spotted the pathetic Earth weakling the Cultivars
had killed. He smirked at the memory.
"Vegeta! What are you doing here?" he said, taking
up a fighting stance. A little weird animal floated behind him.
"I was wondering if Kakarotto came back yet." He
snapped, not liking how the human addressed him.
"You didn't find him either? Bummer." The weakling
looked disappointed. Vegeta frowned.
"Don't remind me! I'm pissed enough as it is and
kicking your ass will definitely make me feel better" Just then the
loud woman with blue hair came over.
"Hey Guys. What's that awful smell?" he scowled,
as she walked over her nose wrinkled she turned to face him. "Oh,
it's you! When's the last time you've taken a bath there bud? You
need to bathe. Please follow me." She said, the whole time him finger pointed
at his chest. Yamcha stood speechless as she walked off. He
scowled at her retreating for and she looked back. "Well? What? Do
you want me to roll out the red carpet?" he clenched his fists, growling
in anger. How dare she talk to him like that? He calmed down and
put his hands on his hips, following her.
"Unreal!" Yamcha muttered.
"I hope she knows what she's doing." Puar squeaked.
They watched Bulma walk with her head high and Vegeta follow her,
barely stifling curses.
