Author's Notes: I was searching the net, finding the differences between the anime archetypes, tsundere, yandere, yangire and yandeguire. I was on villains wiki when I found the meaning of yandeguire and found Vegeta's name included in the list of male examples. Also, in one of my youtube videos,' Vegeta being a Tsundere', someone wondered if Vegeta would make a scarier yandere than Mirai Nikki's Yuno Gasai. Thinking of it, I was able to come up with this fan fic. I hope you like it. But be warned that this fic will have a lot of deaths and gore.
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. Some events in this fan fic is also inspired by Mirai Nikki and DBXV. The Cover Art of this fan fiction was created by my friend, hirokada on DeviantArt. It was based on Chapters 22 and 23 of this fanfic. Please do check out her amazing artworks!
Warning: You might find Vegeta out of character in this story as this fic is made as an answer to the question 'What if Vegeta was a yandere?'. Vegeta is originally and generally a tsundere. A Tsundere is a character who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warm and caring side over time. The yandere personality is the exact opposite of a tsundere personality. AYandere is a character who is genuinely kind, loving, sweet or gentle, but can suddenly switch to being aggressive or deranged. (From wiktionary).
If you don't like Vegeta to be like a yandere then I suggest you to turn back now and stop reading as this story also contains lots of blood, gore and violence.
Prologue
"Wake up! Wake up, woman! Wake up!" cried the frantic man as he shook the unconscious woman lying steadily on the ground before him. The woman didn't show any signs of waking up at any moment. Her skin was paling and her still body was growing cold. The man could not even sense her faint energy anymore. It was clear that the woman was dead but the man who was desperate to wake her up refused to believe the unacceptable truth.
He ran his hands over her cheeks, feeling her cold skin over his shaking hands. Tears were beginning to fall from his eyes, tears he never thought he will ever have because of feelings for a mere, weakling human.
He loved her so much, but he has never told or showed her how much he loved her. His pride was too high for him to demonstrate them since he believed that having foolish emotions for someone was such a weakness for a warrior such as himself. And now that she's dead, there's no other way to revive her. Not even those seven wish granting golden magical balls would bring her back to him.
With all his attempts, he realized that there was nothing he can actually do and he felt a deep pang of regret. He cursed to himself and hated himself for it. If only there was a way for him to change things then he would gladly take any chance.
He threw his head back and let out a loud cry of despair. His powers exploded out of him in a destructive maelstrom as he screamed his rage. Thunder and lightning snaked down from the dark skies into the trembling earth. Without her, he didn't care anymore. He will destroy the universe and make everyone feel his wrath!
However, in his inhuman rage he saw something open up before his very eyes. A swirling dark hole was beginning to form at the heavens above him caused by his power and rage. What it was he didn't know…
He let out a wide, psychotic grin and let out a dark mirthless chuckle.
"Damn you!" a flaming haired alien screamed in rage. He was just sent soaring to this planet's atmosphere by a blast similar to his own by someone he considered a low class trash. That he could never accept.
"Why? Why? How did Kakarot's power level surpass mine?!" he seethed in refusal to believe what just happened. "No! I am the Saiyan Prince! I am the best in the universe, there's no way a low class trash like him could ever surpass me!"
The Saiyan prince named Vegeta, was burning with fury and he tried his best to maintain his control over his anger by drawing out breaths. Once he was finally calm, a dark chuckle escaped from his lips as a plan formed on his strategically genius mind.
"Time to stop worrying about being a pretty boy for now. I will transform into the Oozaru and crush him! Hahahahaha! My Great Monkey transformation is a terrifying sight to behold, even to myself!" With that, he turned his head left and right, trying to search for any signs of the moon.
"Hm? That was strange. It's almost past time, the moon should be out by now…" he muttered to himself. He decided to fly around looking for the full moon in order for him to initiate his transformation.
While flying from place to place, he found himself floating in the night sky almost opposite to the place where he and Kakarot were having a furious battle. Oddly enough, there was still no sign of the moon. He wondered in confusion how come the moon isn't out yet despite being night time on this place, he remembered he planned his arrival on Earth on a full moon night so he and Nappa could eradicate this planet quickly.
While looking for the moon, his eyes were transfixed to the beauty of the Earth's constellations before him. Thousands and thousands of stars shone dazzlingly before him and the view of it was magnificent. Vegeta did love star gazing but this isn't the time for that. He has to find a way to defeat Kakarot!
Abruptly, there was a burst of light behind him, Vegeta sensed some sort of ki attack coming right towards him. He quickly twisted around to attempt to dodge but the attack was too fast for him to even react. An ultra-fast bolt of golden energy pierced his back, went through him and exited on his chest. What did just happen? And who was that trying to kill him? Could it be that Frieza learned of his plans and sent someone to kill him? Was it Zarbon, Dodoria, or Frieza himself? Maybe Kakarot realized he was still alive and went after him. Those were the thoughts running on his mind as his body crashed into the earth. He flinched in pain and coughed out blood, lots of it. Whoever shot him was able to pierce his lungs and he was beginning to find it hard to breathe.
"Wow, I thought I targeted his heart but it seems I missed. What a lucky one. Oh well, at least I was able to weaken him that much."
Vegeta froze in shock hearing those words. That voice. He knew that voice all too well. He has been hearing that voice all his life. But how? It's impossible!
"Fucking coward, show yourself!" Vegeta seethed as he picked himself up from the dirt to retaliate. He felt the person's presence land quietly behind him. Vegeta quickly turned around and what he saw made him freeze in complete terror. His eyes, huge and terrified stared at the dark figure that stood before him.
That man with bloodshot eyes that was glowing crimson was raising an axe behind him, determined to kill him with it.
It seemed impossible for Vegeta, the proud prince of the powerful alien Saiyan warrior race, to be killed due to having an axe chop his neck. But that man, his killer, was powerful and ruthless enough, possibly even more than Frieza, to do it.
Vegeta tried to block the man's hand as the killer mercilessly swung the axe's blade towards him but the blade went through his forearm, chopping it off cleanly before it ruthlessly smashed to his neck. "STOP!" he let out a bloody, fearful squeak, before the ground he stood upon was splattered with his own Saiyan Blood.
Vegeta was still as tough as he could be. Even with the hole in his chest and the huge chop on his neck that were draining his blood, he was still alive and kicking. He desperately tried to escape by crawling away from the killer but the man sauntered forward with the intent to murder him. He decided that maybe transforming to the Oozaru form would likely make him win or survive. After all, even without the full moon he was able to create an artificial moon in order for him to transform. He tried to focus his ki into creating the Power Ball with his good and remaining hand, but the killer seemed to be familiar with what he was trying to do. The killer then harshly grabbed his tail and chopped it with the axe, The Saiyan Prince let out a painful scream.
How the killer knows of this, Vegeta will never have a chance to imagine. He dreadfully attempted to fire a ki blast towards the dark man with all his remaining power but the man simply deflected his attack like it was nothing.
The man cruelly grabbed him by his armor and told him in a chilling tone, "You should be grateful that I'm the one to finish you, Vegeta. But before that, let me show you something so at least you can die proud of yourself in the otherworld."
A golden light flashed on the man as he transformed. The light enshrouding his figure also made his cruel face clear to Vegeta.
This is ridiculously impossible. The man before him is the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Transfixed by the sight, Vegeta was completely awed at the magnificent transformation his killer just performed before him and he didn't even see the man's attack coming. The killer grabbed his head by the hair with brutal force and with a loud snapping sound, his head came rolling into the ground while the rest of his body slumped into the pool of his Saiyan Blood.
Vegeta's cold, dead eyes were gazing at the stars in that dark, night sky. The killer peered at the corpse of his victim with an emotionless stare of his crimson eyes. He then raised his head to look up into the stars, exactly where Vegeta was gazing too,
The killer then let out a dark, mirthless chuckle. "I am back for you, my dear little Bulma."

1.The Creator (vocals by: Yousei Teikoku, Album: Kuusou Mesorogiwi, Mirai Nikki OST) - the main theme song of this story
"The scent of the war-torn world is strong
I closed my eyes and I recalled of a fantasy I'm dreaming of;
To be able to freely manipulate the rules of space and time
To risk life and death for the survival of the future
If you desire life then realize that death is the salvation
Offer your prayers to the gods and the gods shall answer in a prayer
The terrible days are only an illusion
Hold out your hands for a mutual merit*
Plunder the throne of gods at the end of this twisted world
It's already exceed the time to be summoning out a miracle
Go on and worship the heaven-sent child as the answer for the foolish corruption
History of the world's creation is a fine nectar of destruction
We desire the ancestral tree with many scapegoats like a carnival**
If you wish for death tomorrow, then death is the training for life
The prayers shall reach the gods, and those prayers shall be matched
I'll overthrow the termination of the world as our mutual plan was read to
We'll plunder the throne of the gods, eliminate them and the scapegoats to the very last one of them
Awaken the miracle as it flows right to your hands
"The gods created the heaven and earth and held that as their greatest title - the creator
Far in the distant past, men had dreamed to be as such
Peeking through the night's sky decorated with the stars;
The myths of such fantasy were only a distant promise to themselves
They can only keep on believing the dreams..."
