Chapter 1: Obsession
Twelve years after the defeat of the universes biggest threat, Majin Buu. Two years since the Earth was finally secure in peace that was sure to last. Though some of the Earth's greatest defenders felt that danger was always there. The Namakian Piccolo was always on high alert. Watching events on Earth along side it's guardian Dende at the lookout high in the atmosphere, Piccolo always trained his hardest to be prepared for the Earth's next biggest threat.
"You shouldn't train so hard Piccolo. You'll only do more harm than good." Mr. Popo told him.
"The day I stop training is the day things go to hell."
Piccolo went and and sat by the edge of the lookout by Dende.
"You've always have said we're going to experience something worse than Buu is coming our way, and everyday I get the feeling that it's coming closer. You've never said what it is though, do you have any idea?"
"Yes I do. Though i don't know exactly who or what. Ever since Goku died the world hasn't been safe, even if it is peaceful at the moment. That damn heart virus, we thought that medicine from the future cured it. It only made it lie dormant like a silent killer. The only enemy Goku wasn't able to defeat. Dende, tell Mr. Popo to make stronger training simulation for tomorrow. Whatever this threat may be, it's not coming from space or any distant planet. It'll be from right here.
"KAKAROT!"
Vegeta screamed as he woke up in a cold sweat with a look of horror on his face.
"Huh? Vegeta, what's wrong?"
Bulma asked as she woke up to Vegeta's scream.
"Nothing, a nightmare I suppose. I'm going to get some air."
"What? This late?"
"Don't question me woman just go back to sleep!
"Hmph, such a ass sometimes."
The rest of the briefs family rushed in hearing Vegeta's scream.
"What happened is everything alright?" Dr. Briefs asked.
"Don't worry about it old man just mind your own damn business." Vegeta said in a irritated voice.
Vegeta quickly left the house and took off into the air not saying a word about where he would go.
"Odd, Bulma what's with him?"
"I don't know dad, just let him blow off some steam and he'll be fine."
Vegeta flew at great speed out of West City and flew towards the Mountains, where he landed and thought.
"You're gone, you don't exist anymore. Why do you continue to haunt me?"
Vegeta looked at his surroundings and was amazed.
"This…This is where we had our first battle. Yes, I remember like it was yesterday. I thought you were going to be a joke, that there was no way you could win against me. ME! A Saiyan elite, but no you proved me wrong. I was the one defeated, no matter what trick I pulled during that fight you came out on top and for years I hated you for that."
Vegeta was thinking back to when he and Goku first fought. For days he's been haunted by Goku and he doesn't know the reason why. Goku and Vegeta buried the hatchet years ago, after the fight with Buu. Vegeta discarded his thoughts and figured it was nothing more than memories.
He flew back to Capsule Corp. house where Bulma was waiting nervously.
"Vegeta, are you okay? You've been gone for hours."
"I'm fine; I just needed to get some air that's all. Don't worry about me, let's just get some sleep."
Vegeta and Bulma both went back to bed, but Vegeta still had his dreams to bother him.
