Vegeta's change

Chapter 1

Vegeta always had evil inside of his heart. Evil that could cause him to kill his friends and family without any remorse. That evil had now awakened after lying dormant for many years. This turn of events was tragic for everyone living on Earth as Vegeta started slaying the ones he used to call his friends, starting with his family.

"Vegeta... why are you doing this?!" Bulma shouted. She didn't know what had come over him.

"It's what I've always wanted. I can't believe I used to call you my family and friends," Vegeta replied to his wife.

"You know you will never get away with this! Goku will stop you!"

"I think I am and he won't. I'll kill him," Vegeta responded with a smirk as he killed his wife. He proceeded on towards his rival's house, but along the way he encountered Piccolo, who demanded him to stop. Vegeta refused to as Piccolo blocked his way, wearing a grim look.

"I can't believe we ever trusted you... we should have known you'd never change."

"Well, Piccolo, you know how they say...," Vegeta smirked. "'If you can't beat them, join them.' That's exactly what I did." He charged and before Piccolo knew what had happened, Vegeta killed him.

"Curse you!"

Vegeta laughed as he saw Trunks and Goten watching him in horror. Before they could do anything to him, Vegeta slayed them as well. He went to his rival's home and killed Chi-Chi and Gohan.

Goku sensed all of this going on and he knew he had to stop it all. His power level rose until he reached his max. Using his Instant Transmission, Goku appeared at Vegeta's location in the wastelands. Vegeta was standing there, arms crossed, a horrible smirk on his face.

"Well, it was about time you got here, you 3rd class level baka."

"Vegeta... why are you doing this... this isn't like you. The Vegeta I know wouldn't senselessly kill all the people who care about him."

"Oh, this is me. I've watched too long to let people take control of me. And kindness and love are stupid emotions, which get in the way of your ambition. And my goal is to kill. Since you haven't wiped this planet clean, I'll do it for you." Vegeta suddenly fired a volley of ki blasts at Goku.

Goku tried his best to cancel out each blast. "Please Vegeta... snap out of it..." Goku's pleas go unheard though as Vegeta assaults him, punching and kicking him as hard as he could. "I know you don't mean anything you're saying... you changed, for the better." Goku said in between his attacks.

"Feh. That was an act, an act you all foolishly followed." Vegeta said as he continued his assault.

Goku sighed. "I really don't want to do this... but if you insist I will fight you..."

Vegeta smirked. "That's more like a Saiyan. Now let's go."

Goku's eyes turned serious. He started charging throwing varies punches and kicks at Vegeta. Vegeta dodged around them as he continued his fight. Goku in the back of his mind tried to figure out what happened. 'What could have happened to him... why would he sudden act like this after such a long time.'

'He isn't giving his all. He thinks I'll change, but I know I won't.'

'There is still a chance he may come back to us...' Goku thought

Goku powered up a huge blast and fired it at Vegeta. Vegeta barely got out of the way in time. "Vegeta, listen to me... do you really want to become like Frieza, the man who destroyed your people and YOU?"

"Bah. Frieza. He was a tyrant. He wanted to rule the universe. I, on the other hand, just want to kill. Be a true Saiyan. Don't you want to be a true Saiyan? Give into the bloodlust. I know you're ignoring it... Feel your blood pulsate through your veins..."

"Vegeta... all I really need is my family and friends. I don't want to hurt any innocence people. They don't deserve to be killed to satisfy our desires... It's wrong and you're wrong if you think I will let you do something like that and ruin the life you created here on Earth!"

"Oh really? Try me, Kakarot."

Goku attacked again, this time even faster then before. "We are the protectors of life... not its destroyers, remember that!" Vegeta got hit as he spat out blood. Goku relentlessly attacked, not giving Vegeta a moment to attack. Vegeta was getting damaged more and more before he lay on the ground, one of his arms broken and severely hurt. "Come on Vegeta... come back to us..."

"Feh. I was never with you..."

"Its senseless to continue this... you are badly hurt. No one will gain anything from this."

"I'd rather die than submit, Kakarot. Your kindness for everything sickens me."

Goku look a bit aggravated. 'I'm not going to give up on this!'

'The fool doesn't realize I won't give in. I'm never going to change.'

Goku stepped on Vegeta, breaking some of his ribs. Vegeta grunted in pain, one of his eyes closed in pain. Goku kept applying pressure. "I'm sorry about this Vegeta... but it's what I must do!"

"You're willing to sacrifice my life to save these pathetic humans' lives?"

"They aren't pathetic... in there own way, they are just as good as we are... I will not kill you... you are my friend and I will do anything and everything in my power to chase those demons from your head."

Vegeta laughed with the little energy he had left. "The demons in my head? I AM a demon. A Saiyan demon."

"Stop it... I know your not. You can talk all you want... but I know you aren't convinced of it yourself..."

Vegeta growled. "You don't know what I'm thinking, baka."

"Oh I know what your thinking all too well... you don't believe a word your saying... you just don't want to accept it."

"Really? You act as if you know me well."

"I told you... we're friends. I understand you very well Vegeta. You share everything with me... and I you."

"Bah. I do not."

"You told me about your life... you told me about all your pain... I listened and I helped you create a life here... please don't destroy that! Don't let the evil within your heart control you."

Vegeta tried to laugh again. "Fool."

"You're the fool Vegeta!"

Vegeta remained silent.

"You just don't get it!"

"Then explain it to me, Kakarot."

"Evil will never be greater the good. You can gain great power from good... but evil will be destroyed."

"Your mumble jumble doesn't faze me, Kakarot."

"It did once. It meant something to you. You created a family... and a group of friends who care about you."

Vegeta smiled evilly. "Did I now? Since when?"

"For many years... you believed as I did..."

"Feh."

Goku growled. He slapped Vegeta back and forth. "I guess I gotta slap some sense into you."

Vegeta spat out more blood. As time went on... Goku hit Vegeta harder and harder. Soon Vegeta was almost knocked unconscious. Goku sighed, picking Vegeta up. "I'm sorry about all this..."

"Gah..." Vegeta grunted when Goku picked him up. His body ached so much.

"Sorry Vegeta.... Let's get you home..."
