Descry Incarceration

Goku and Vegeta are captured and experimented on by an evil female scientist named Annabelle, who wishes to understand the basics of their powers' source, their race and themselves. She favors Goku over Vegeta, but doesn't do any less damage to him as she would to Vegeta. The harshness of the environments they are now stuck in forces the two to try and think together as one and stay together through thick and thin; no matter what happens.

Chapter One – Meeting Up

Goku walked down the beachside early dawn. It was a Saturday and it was beautiful; the perfect temperature and the perfect view. The bright oranges and yellows brightening up the sky made being out of the house that early in the morning all the more desirable and whimsical. He smiled as the sun peaked over the horizon. He was to meet Vegeta on the ocean's side as soon as the sun had shown itself.

Saturday at dawn; don't be late again… Idiot…!

He remembered Vegeta saying to him about two days prior. He made sure not to be late this time. Sure enough, Vegeta flew down from the sky and landed gently on the sand. Goku slowly approached him.

"So, Vegeta, did you want to warm up first before we spar?"

"We aren't training today, Kakarot…"

Goku looked suspiciously at him.

"Oh, okay, well then, what are we doing?"

Vegeta stared at him carefully. He took a step forward and glanced back quickly; as though making sure no one had followed.

"I was given an offer three days ago from some woman that knew Bulma or something… She said that there are a huge group of fighters; in our kind of ranks apparently, who wish to challenge us. I didn't want to bring it up at the barbeque two days ago because we all know how your wife would've reacted…"

Goku rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed almost. He chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, Chi-Chi probably would've flown off the handle if you would've brought something like that up…"

"Yeah, exactly, so, because we've both been busy the past day and a half; I proposed that we come out here early morning today to discuss this."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with a cell phone number and a street address on it.

"She said that if we were interested, to go to this address…"

He handed it to Goku to look over.

"What does 'Erickson's Prot Medical Facility' have to do with fighting…?"

Vegeta took the card back from him and turned away, shoved it back into his pocket.

"Nothing… It's just the old facility that the building used to belong to… It went out of business years ago apparently… According to Bulma anyways… I told her about this only because I knew she wouldn't care if we go to spar in this 'competition' thing or whatever, so what do you think, Kakarot…?"

Goku shook his head slightly,

"Well, I suppose if we're not gone too long, Chi-Chi won't care…"

"Alright, then it's settled; let's go check this place out and see what kind of fighters they have to offer… I hope this isn't some stupid waste of time…"

Goku chuckled and began to walk by Vegeta's side down the length of the beach.

"Do you know how to get there, Vegeta?"

"Of course I do, idiot!"

"Okay, geez, I was just making sure…"

They began to fly across the city into the heart and landed on a very grim and quiet street. Goku glanced around weary of the area, not sure if they should be there or not. Vegeta stepped towards a building and Goku slowly followed.

"I hope there something to eat, I'm starving…"

"You're always starving…!"

Goku laughed quietly as Vegeta banged his fist against the door, hoping that woman or at least someone was there. Vegeta was almost wondering if he was even given the right address, until the door slowly creaked open. The woman Vegeta had met with stood there, wearing a lab coat and gloves.

"Oh, hello, Vegeta… I wasn't expecting you to show up so soon…"

Vegeta grunted quietly as he glanced around the background behind her and inspected the place over quickly. Something didn't feel quite right; he could sense it. Maybe it was the other fighter's presences or the environment all around. Goku had the same feeling, but didn't want to say anything stupid in front of this woman and Vegeta; potentially embarrassing him.

"I presume this is Goku… I only got a glimpse of you last time I saw you both…"

She reached her hand out.

"My name is Annabelle Richards. I used to work for Bulma Briefs for Capsule Corporation."

Goku kindly shook her hand and replied,

"It's nice to meet you… I hate to be rude, but is there anything to eat here?"

Vegeta glared back at him but the woman simply chuckled,

"Yes, of course, come on in."

The two stepped inside, closing the door behind them.
