Guru made his announcement; his life was to come to an end. He called the villagers for one last talk. Upon this request, it was noticed that no villager from Guru's village had returned. This is when Vegeta spoke up.

"You mean those whiney villagers I defeated. I believe the Dragon Balls brought back anyone killed by Frieza or his henchmen, isn't that right?" The group turned to look at this man who claimed death so easily, he was proud of himself. "That doesn't include me, how very sad." He had no remorse, just more joy that the Dragon didn't even see him as a henchman any more. By the Dragon's standards he was free.

Bulma just watched him, looking at his battle worn skin, wondering how he could be so proud of himself. Maybe, he was sorry the others didn't come back, he even said so, though his voice said differently. She looked back at Guru, tears filling her eyes. She didn't know Guru, but he had been nothing but kind, and his people loved him. She smiled at their peace, yet she hated that Krillin couldn't see it. Dende commented that Krillin could be wished back with the Namek balls, they had powers outside of those of the Earth ones. Guru had passed his power to the next in line, his oldest son. The Dragon Balls could still work.

Bulma watched as Vegeta laughed, she had been in his presence for a time now and she wasn't dead, none of them were. She wasn't even nervous really; his aura wasn't as dark as she thought it was. His presence wasn't that bad truly. She knew he was strong, and that brought her some comfort. Maybe Vegeta wasn't so bad, well at least he wasn't Frieza. He did show compassion to her and her friends on Namek, more than once. Maybe he wasn't the monster he thought he was.

As she stood and mingled a voice and a face came to her mind. This was the first time she really thought about that man in a couple of days, Yamcha. She knew he was dead, and that was that. Her mind had been focused on other things. She felt a bit ashamed, but she was sure she didn't cross his mind either. "Bulma can you hear me?" Yamcha spoke

Bulma looked up. "Who said that? I must be losing my mind.

"Bulma you aren't losing your mind. It's me Yamcha."

"Huh? Yamcha? Where? I can't see you but I can hear you. Did something shrink you or something?" She looked around, as if he would appear any moment. Her voice caught the attention of all the others, including Vegeta. Who even sat up and watched the woman.

"No. Nobody shrunk me, I'm full sized. Look Bulma I'm communicating with you telepathically. King Kai arranged it. I'm relaying message for him."

"No way? Hey Yamcha what's up?" She giggled please to hear his voice.

"Just hanging out with the other dead guys you know." He laughed. "It's about Goku, he beat Frieza."

"Goku won!" Bulma yelled jumping up and down.

Vegeta watched the elated group. "He did it? Unbelievable." The raven haired man commented to himself.

"Bulma that's not the end of the story there's more. After Goku defeated Frieza he tried to use Frieza's space ship to high-tail it out of there. But the darn thing bugged out on him, he was stuck no way out. When Namek exploded he went with it. He's gone." His voice was forceful yet pained.

"Hold on guys. There's more Goku didn't make it off planet Namek before it exploded, he's dead. What a bummer." She said calmly. Yamcha began yelling at her on how he could have done a better job of breaking the news. She laughed at him. "Duh, listen up pea brain. I'm the one with the real inside scoop not you. What would you say if I told you with the Dragon Balls from Namek you can wish people back to life more than one time? That means we can wish everyone back. That means Goku, Krillin and Chow-su, they can all be wished back!" She exclaimed throwing her arms into the air.

All was well until King Kai revealed the flaw to their plan. The Dragon restores life, but the body is restored to the place where it fell, and Namek doesn't exist any longer. They all questioned how they could do it, isn't there another way. Bulma collapsed with the fear and the knowledge her friends wouldn't come back.

Vegeta burst out into laughter, once again. He jumped and flipped in the air as he landed just feet from Bulma. "I told you didn't I? Looks like my prophecy came to pass after all. I'm number one now guys, now get used to it. It was nice of your dad kid for getting rid of Frieza like that for me. What a guy, he served his purpose." Gohan defended his father saying how he saved and spared Vegeta's life. Vegeta's only remark was. "He shouldn't have been so soft, now should he? That only leaves one question what should I do with his son? Destroy him now so he doesn't destroy me later?" He looked down at the mad child. "Don't sweat it kid, you're the only Saiyan left beside me. That makes you a very important young man; we are the last survivors of an ancient race. Beside I need someone like you by my side to polish my boots and call me Lord Vegeta." He laughed "your dad is history kid!" These word angered Gohan as he lunged for Vegeta and missing him all together.

Vegeta counter attacked, no one threatens him and gets away with it. Seeing his blatant cruelty for the boy Bulma piped up. "Hey you leave him alone Jerk!" She couldn't fight but she could yell.

Gohan had challenged Vegeta. The Prince could not pass up a chance to fight; the two began dancing their fight when Gohan got the upper hand, beating the crap out of Vegeta. This angered him greatly. He spoke his boastful words treating Gohan's life. He didn't stop; as he beat the poor child up, his power much greater than the boys. Bulma watched in horror as Vegeta attacked her little friend. Screaming as she watched his limp body fall to the ground. "Pity what a waste of talent." Vegeta raised his hand only to be stopped by Piccolo. Piccolo knew Vegeta's soul better than most, he, himself once was a monster, and he could see the slow change in Vegeta, but that didn't change his hate for him. He did die once before because of that man. Piccolo had been healed and was at full power. Vegeta gave in not wanting a 'real' battle; he was still weak from his re-life. Angered and humiliated Vegeta stalked off. Bulma just watched him, but the only words on her lips where "Goku."

The group began to talk, there had to be away to get Goku back, but how? Bulma babbled on about some bird and egg analogy to help the others understand why they couldn't bring Goku or Krillin back to life, due to there being no planet Namek, when she was rudely interrupted.

"Shut Up!" The man growled. "Enough of this ridicules babble. If you want Kakarot back then listen. The Earth has a check-in station to the sprit realm, wish him back there first then wish him back to life." Vegeta stood, eyes locked on the blue haired girl.

Turning with a smile on her face Bulma exclaimed. "Hey, that might work. Man Vegeta what a great idea. I'm impressed!"

"Humph" Vegeta snarled

"This is awesome! We need to gather the Dragon Balls!" she smiled. As she spoke, Gohan felt the need to thank Vegeta, he might have just beaten him up, but Gohan didn't back down when Vegeta told him too, he had already said he wasn't going to kill him. He wanted to keep another Saiyan around. Vegeta did help out once again. Gohan held out his hand only to be swatted away by Vegeta.

"Bunch of softies." His eyes once again locked on Bulma, he could tell she was smart and had some great ideas even if they were soft hearted, but what else could you expect from an Earth Female. He had his own reasons for wanting Kakarot back.

Bulma just eyed the man for a moment, how could he be so mean and then so nice a moment later? Then it dawned on her, he never knew how to be nice. It was in his true nature to have compassion but his life with Frieza changed all that. He now only hid his feelings, buried them deep within. They'd only get him killed anyway.

The eldest Namek spoke up. He asked for a place to stay while the Dragon Balls slept. Bulma offered him a place at her father's compound, Capsule Corp. Turning to Vegeta, the lone Prince she smiled at him. "What about you!?" She flirted. "Hey home-boy!"

This caught Vegeta's attention. "Huh? Home…what?" His eyes grew big no one addressed him like that. Her tone was different too. She wasn't scared, mad, or even mean. She was smiling, hands on her hips and spoke sweetly to him.

"Hey loosen up! You're going to need a place to crash too!" Vegeta only turned his head, as if her words meant nothing. But deep down they meant the world to him, even if he wouldn't admit it. "Why don't you drop the arrogant tuff guy act? Just relax and let it go. Take a vacation for goodness sake." She giggled. "Unwind a little and see what life has to offer you." She turned to face him full on, Vegeta's face still looking to the side. "Besides you're kind of cute!" She giggled again. She had a thing for powerful, strong men, someone who demanded and had the power to back it up, just on that wasn't so arrogant.

This caused Vegeta to turn and scowl at her. "What? I'm not kinda…shut up!" He barked. He was embarrassed. No one ever commented on his looks except on the battle field, there it was normally an insult. But here a woman and a nice looking one at that had given him a complement. The Prince had no idea how to respond. This was a battle he knew nothing about, but one he'd learn how to win by her.

Bulma scurried away to call her father, she needed his help. Nearly 100 Namek's were going to need a way to her house, along with a few others. Soon, her father appeared in the air in his large cargo ship. Everyone loaded up including Vegeta; he swaggered in last, scoffing at all the others excitement.

In no time they all landed at the Capsule Corp grounds. As they all walked out, they commented on the size of the complex, even Vegeta was surprised at the place.

Within moments of landing Bunny had spotted the attractive Saiyan and rushed over to thank him for all his help in saving her beautiful daughter. Vegeta wasn't use to this, he wasn't feared, he was welcomed, and not for his power or what he could do for them, he was welcomed for just being there. "I…I..uuhh." Vegeta was at a loss for words with this woman; this blonde ditzy woman called him a hero and thanked him once again for all the great things he did for her daughter. Quickly his attention was grabbed by a ship. The same type of ship Kakarot had come to Namek in.

Vegeta left the group, who at this point we're talking full of excitement about their new home. He found himself gazing up at the ship, admiring its technical advancement. Dr. Brief saw the young man admiring his work. Most people couldn't understand the time and effort that goes into a ship like this, but Vegeta seemed too. Vegeta made no sound as the Dr. spoke of the ship and all its gizmos and gadgets. Dr. Brief opened the door to let Vegeta inside, to get a better look at his work. Vegeta ignored him as he walked inside. He began his full investigation on this new ship. It had many similarities to his Saiyan capsules, just much larger. This one offered him space and a gravity machine.

As he reached the control panel a small screen turned on. It was Bunny. "Hi Vegeta! Come on out. I made cold drinks for everyone. I made you a Shirley Temple!" she smiled. This constant bombardment of kindness ticked the great Saiyan off. He wasn't sure if he'd ever get use to it.
