Dragonball Z

Sweet Sweet Lanvander

Chapter 1-Past Catches Present


Such a perfectly beautiful day, yet it was the day that would start a tragic turn of events from the past to come to light. For within the breath of the Earth, a seemingly harmless scent would come back to haunt the living heart and soul of a powerful warrior.

WHAM!
BASH!
Punch after punch were hurled. Kick after kick were thrown.
Both opponents looked at each other, smirking half-heartedly. It was a regular sight, the two Saiyans training together was part of their daily routine. With each collision of their powers, they grew stronger. It kept them both in top condition for anything that might cross their path like it had done many times before.
"Hey Vegeta, how about holding it off for a while?" Goku called to the Prince.
"Had enough already Kakarot?" Vegeta yelled back, narrowing his eyes.
"No, I'm hungry."
Vegeta rolled his eyes and sighed. It was always the same excuse and it was highly frustrating. Vegeta walked past Goku and paused to catch his breath.
Then, something caught his attention. Vegeta lifted his head up looked upwards. But his focus wasn't at the sky, it was something else.
"Kakarot, can you smell that?" Vegeta asked, srunching his nose a little at the scent.
Vegeta got no answer, which annoyed him greatly. If there was one thing he didn't like, it was when no one responded to him. His turned his head and looked at Goku.
"I said Kakrot! Can you smell that…"
He stopped. A confused and deeply puzzled look swept upon the Prince's face as he stared at the other Saiyan.
The look on Goku's face, it was unlike anything Vegeta had ever seen from him. His eyes, they semi-glazed and full of fear and terror. His breathing had become erratic, short shallow gasps. His whole body was shaking fiercely and sweat began to pur from his head.
Vegeta didn't understand. Had Goku sensed something? Or was it that scent?
The more Vegeta thought about that scent, the more familiar it became. But why? He didn't remember how, why or where from. He did however sense an unnerving and haunting about it.
"Kakarot?" Vegeta spoke, walking towards Goku who still looked completely terrified.
"L-L-Lavander…" Goku stammered.
"What? What's that?" Vegeta growled in semi-frustration and semi-confusion.
"T-T-That smell. It's L-L-Lavander…"
Goku's eyes then closed and he fell with a sickening thud on to the heavy ground.
"Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled, running to the fallen Saiyan.
Vegeta put his hand against Goku's forehead then yanked it away. He was burning up and fast. It had all been so sudden and totally unexpected, Vegeta thought it had been impossibility. But it was happening. How and why, he didn't know. He also noticed Goku's breathing was becoming increasingly shallow and laboured and his heartbeat was decreasing at an alarming rate.
Vegeta mentally cursed and scooped Goku's body into his arms and flew fast towards the Capsule Corps. He had no doubt in his mind that the scent was responcible for this and he was determined to find out why.
