Part 1 Fear Shrieks, Terror Hushes
"What does he have that I don't? What is so special about him? What is his secret to being so powerful? I have to find out!" All these questions with no answers surged through Vegeta's head as he sat down on his bed.
The sunlight poured from the window to his right, and the room was still darkened. Outside of the door he heard Bulma feed lunch to his 11 year old son, Trunks. It was 3 years after Goku had fought Buu, and everything seemed to be normal. No villains to defeat. But, still, Vegeta had one problem. One problem that he has faced ever since he met Goku; and that was to become stronger than him. But, Vegeta just couldn't figure out how. Was it too hard for him? Did he have to train harder? What was it? But, no matter how hard Vegeta thought, once again, he came up with no answers.
Vegeta decided to get up and enter the kitchen for some lunch. He opened the bedroom door, and shut it with a bang. "Hi Vegeta! How are you?" Bulma asked eagerly. Vegeta merely nodded. He wasn't in the mood to even say hi to anyone. He was still deep in thought when Bulma told him something that caught his attention."Well, have you heard? The Z fighters are having a meeting today. I don't really know what it's about, but I thought you would like to go. Goku told me about it,(Vegeta winced when he heard Goku's name) and he sounded pretty urgent. So, you might as well just go. I guess the meeting will be held at Goku's house. What do you say?" Vegeta thought hard about this. He finally answered,"Fine. Besides, there is nothing else to do." And with that, he walked outside. "I wonder what this meeting is going to be about.I mean, there is no new villains. Kakarot is just probably going to humiliate me again. I don't even know why I'm bothering to go. But, whatever this meeting is about, it does sound a little interesting." Vegeta then decided to fly over to Goku's house.
When he got there, he noticed everyone was already inside the house. As Vegeta walked in, everyone stared."Man, I didn't think you'd make it." Goku replied, astonished. "Well, here I am." Vegeta then said cooly. He then chose a spot to stand in the far corner. The meeting would now begin. "Ok, the reason I called everyone over here was because I wanted to tell you something.(In the background Krillin and Yamacha was talking about this hot new girl they saw on the way over to Goku's house, Tien was talking to Piccolo about this new show, which Piccolo could care less, and ofcoarse, Vegeta was just staring out the window) "And,"Goku said somewhat annoyed," there is going to be a World Martial Arts Tournament. There is no Junior Division, so it's going to be pretty short." This caught everyone's attention. Krillin and Yamacha stopped talking to each other, so did Tien and Piccolo, and Vegeta stopped staring out of the window."Well, that caught everyone's attention!"Goku said. "So, the tournament is going to be in 2 days, meaning if today is Thursday, it's going to be on Saturday. So, we only have today and tommorow to train. Good luck everyone. And, that's pretty much the meeting. Bye guys!" Goku replied.
Goku went to door to welcome everyone out. "See ya Yamacha and Krillin! Bye Tien and Piccolo! Oh, Vegeta I want to talk to you." Vegeta then stayed back. "What do you want Kakarot?" Vegeta asked. "Well, do you suppose your going to win the tournament?" Goku requested. "Well, yes. I suppose. Why do you want to know anyway? It's none of your buisness." Vegeta responded. "Well, I just want to say that I think I'm going to win too. So, I guess I'll see you in the finals, right?" Goku said. Vegeta just stared. He then smirked. "You won't have a chance Kakarot! You really think your going to make it to the finals? Ha! That's a laugh!" "Well, yeah! I will make it to the finals! And...I'll win too...so watch out! Bye!" Goku then responded and shut the door. Vegeta angrily flew home.
"Who does he think he is shutting the door in my face?" Vegeta thought."I will beat him if it's the last thing I do! I have to! That means, I have to start training as soon as I get home." Vegeta, in moments, landed in his front yard. Trunks then came running outside."Hey Dad! Are we going to train today?" Vegeta just stared at his son. He then answered. "Well, there is this big tournament in a few days, and I'd like to train alone.Go inside and play with your toys or something." "But, I'm way too big to play with toys. Besides, their boring. I mean, maybe Goten would, considering that he is immature, but not me." Trunks then crossed his arms. "Well, I suggest you find something else to do, because I'm training alone. Got it?" Vegeta suggested. "But.....fine. Maybe I'll go to Goten's house or something. I'll probably talk him into training with me." And with that, Trunks left. "Finally, I got the boy to leave. You know, he kind of reminds me of myself sometimes. But, I have to get to my training.I can't let the boy distract me."
Vegeta then went to go train in the Gravity Room. He started by putting the gravity at about 400X. He has to train hard if he was going to have any chance.
Meanwhile.......... Goku watched the television set, waiting until ChiChi finished making lunch. Even though he couldn't wait for lunch, he was thinking of the tournament two days away. He had to win! He always did. He always found one way or another to win in sticky situations. And, once again, he had to show Vegeta that he was stronger."Man, could I really win? I have to! C'mon Goku, you always win! No sweat. And just think about it.....if it's the Z fighters that are going to be a little threat, how could I lose? I have a pretty good chance!" Goku thought. Well, this was his big chance to win. Just think about it, the last tournament was interrupted, so he really couldn't fight in it.And, he remembered the last World Martial Arts Torunament before that one, the Cell Games. He didn't win that one either.So, he had to win."Hey, ChiChi, by the way, what's for lunch?" Goku asked eagerly. "Well, we're having spaghetti." ChiChi exclaimed. "Great! I love spaghetti!" Goku then said. He turned the television off. Well, he'd get serious after he'll eat................
Back at Capsule Corp....Bulma was washing the dishes since she herself just had lunch. She looked outside, and noticed the Vegeta was training. She wondered what had happened in the meeting. She was going to go outside and ask, but decided not to, considering on how he was training hard. She just smiled. She realized that Vegeta was always really dedicated, and that was part of the good she saw in him since day 1. She also remembered that day when Vegeta first trained in the Gravity Room, and he broke the machine. He was seriously hurt, so Bulma had to take care of him. She laughed at the thought. She decided to go clean the rest of the house.
Vegeta did a whole exercise of punches and kicks. He remained like that for about 4 hours, and finally thought to himself that that was it for that day. He determined that he would train much more than that the next day. He gradually walked over to his room. He sat down, thinking of what Goku said about 4 hours and 30 minutes ago. It reigned through his head."Well, do you suppose your going to win the tournament? Well, I just want to say that I think I'm going to win too. So, I guess I'll see you in the finals, right? Well, yeah! I will make it to the finals! And...I'll win too...so watch out! Bye!" No!!!I have to win! Kakarot can't beat me! Not again!" Vegeta thought, solenmly.He just can't! He is always one step ahead of me. How am I supposed to win anyway? But, I have to try! Vegeta considered. He wasn't about to give up. Not now. Not never.
Outside of the door, he heard Trunks finally step in. "Hey honey, did you have anything to eat over at Goku's house?" Bulma asked eagerly. "Yeah, I had spaghetti."Trunks answered cooly."Where's dad?" "Well,he's in his room;we shouldn't disturb him." And with that, he went back to thinking. He lay down on his bed, thinking for hours, until Bulma yelled," Vegeta! Dinner's ready!" Vegeta gradually got up. He opened the door as he had done earlier on that day, and again shut the door with a bang. "Well, we're having steaks for dinner." Bulma announced. Vegeta sat down. Trunks ate right away, but Vegeta just kept staring at the ceiling. "So, what happened at the meeting today?" Bulma asked, trying to start a conversation. "Why should you care?" Vegeta said. "Well, you know, I was just asking. I'm kind of interested, since you haven't said a word about what happened." Bulma suggested. "Well, it's none of your concern, so just stop worrying about it, ok?" Vegeta considered. "Fine! You know, I shouldn't have asked!"Bulma shouted. "Your right, you shouldn't have.And stop shouting woman!" Vegeta said. "Guys! your giving me a headache!" Trunks screamed. Everyone then grew silent, and didn't talk throughout the whole meal. After dinner, it was about 8:00, and time for everyone to go to sleep. Vegeta went to sleep immidiately. He wanted to get a good night sleep because he was going to train a lot the next day.But...he didn't really get a good night sleep.....Vegeta had a bad dream that night......
Vegeta was training in the Gravity room. He put the level to 400X. He put it higher and higher, until it reached 700X. It was too much for Vegeta. He couldn't even sit up. He was just on the ground, and he couldn't get himself up. All of the sudden, he saw Goku come, and Goku started powering up, and Goku could actually stand up. Goku just turned around and smiled at Vegeta and said, "Hey, you can never beat me in the tournament. So, why don't you just give up?" Goku just smiled once more and disappeared."No!! I won't give up! You can't beat me!" Vegeta screamed out loud. "Vegeta calm down! It was only a dream!" Bulma yelled, trying to calm Vegeta down. "Look, it was only a bad dream. Try to go back to sleep." Bulma reasoned. Vegeta just stared at the ceiling. That was a terrible dream. How could he go back to sleep? But, he tried and finally went back to sleep.
Meanwhile....Goku had a weird dream too.....Goku was walking..and he didn't know where. He was just walking in nothingness. Like a black pit. All of a sudden, he saw a figure in front of him. He really couldn't see who it was. But, then finally, he could actually see who it was...it was...Buu!! What was he doing here??!! Buu then smirked. "You know, I should wish you good luck in the tournament, because you'll need it.." Buu then said. "What do you mean? It's not like you'll be there..." Goku said. "Well, you're going to have to see about that..." Buu smiled.."No!! Buu! I will get you for this!!" Goku yelled. "Goku! What's wrong? Is there a burglar inside the house?" ChiChi screamed. "Uhhh, no it's ok..I just had a bad dream...that's all..everything's fine." Goku explained. "Ok, good. Now just get some rest ok?" ChiChi said. "Yeah, I will." Goku reasoned. The whole rest of the night, he could only think of what Buu said. Is he really going to be there in the tournament? And, if he was, what was Buu going to do?? Goku was really worried. I mean, what was Buu going to do? Was he going to interrupt the tournament? Was he going to blow up the stadium? What?? Goku had to find out and soon. Goku stayed up all night.
Back at Capsule Corp....The alarm rang. It was about 6:00AM. Vegeta then decided to train again.
