Muse of Dragons Chapter 2: Ghosts (Part 2), a dragon ball z fanfic

Tloj: Allow me to bring you up to speed from the last part. It has been a few hours now. Nappa, Dodoria, Raditz, and the fish-faced alien have been playing hide-and-seek for pretty much the entire time, hence why I cut ahead a few hours. I probably should've cut back when Goku landed and singlehandedly destroyed three out of five of the Ginyu Force and asked how Vegeta got seriously mauled, basically the same time Nappa decided to check on his alive friend and suggested that he fell down the stairs. Vegeta has just put Goku into the healing pod and pretty much fell asleep and woke up needing to pee, nearly missing the wish-making dragon and very mad that he didn't get his wish. He also almost peed himself when Frieza showed up. After fighting for assuming thirty minutes at most (And Piccolo showing up), Vegeta asked Krillin to, get this, almost kill him. Krillin did so happily, and Vegeta got healed before Little Green was blown into pieces. Vegeta has gotten his ego handed to him, and now Goku will come out of the pod any minute now. Let's check up on Kakarot, shall we?

Disclaimer: I do not own anyone here. That being said, I do wish I owned the fish-faced alien. Just so that he can appear at times of my choosing, in whichever story I choose. I do own the sort of semblance to plot, however, except for the bits which came directly from TFS's DBZA. Cyber-cookies to the person that can name the two consecutive episodes I used. And, for the previous chapter, the episode I used is episode 18.

Vegeta's got a lovely bunch of Dragon Balls, do do do do...

Goku floated there, submerged in Super-Polymorphic-Unleashing-Gel. He didn't really mind. He was a little bored though. Hence, why he was currently occupying himself by singing.

"Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream!"

At this time, King Kai decided to join in. "Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream!"

After a few moments, Tien joined in for the heck of it. "Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream!"

Unbeknownst to them all, more people were singing along. But, being dead and not tuned in to King Kai's frequency kinda meant that they were out of contact.

Dodoria and Raditz were standing there, feeling awkward, as their de facto leader had just randomly broke into song. And his voice also attracted the final member to voice his very much unneeded opinion. Repeatedly.

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE! I CAN SEE THE FUTURE! I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!" The alien screeched over and over, every time Nappa finished a verse.

Finally, Raditz cracked and started singing too. "Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat, gently down the stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream! Row, Row, Row your boat-"

Suddenly, the pod dinged and Goku stated, "Done!" as he tore off the mask and blew off the glass, rocketing out.

At the exact same time, Nappa said, "He's done!" He did this so randomly that he cut everyone off.

"Okay then. So now what?" Dodoria asked.

"We check on Vegeta! Hey, wait, isn't that a space duck?" Nappa asked.

Dodoria listened and said, "Ah, such a majestic creature!"

Goku exclaimed, "Oh no, Krillin! Imma coming!"

Dodoria growled, "Wait, you mean the space duck I heard was actually a person?!"

Nappa shrugged and said, "Apparently. Anyways, let's check on Vegeta!"

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!"

"Oh, for God's sake! Shut up already!" Raditz shouted.

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!" It screeched again.

Dodoria stated, "Don't talk to it; you're only giving it attention."

Raditz complained, "But it's so freaking annoying! Nappa, can't we just kill the thing?!"

Nappa answered, "Saiyan who's as strong as a Saibaman says whut?!"

Raditz asked incredulously, "What?"

Nappa exclaimed, "That is correct!"

Raditz realized what had just happened and growled, his eyes narrowed, "I. Hate you."

Dodoria said indifferently, "We all hate each other, get over it."

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!"

Dodoria continued, "Well, except him. I have half a feeling he doesn't even know who we are."

Nappa said happily, "Oh, there's Vegeta! He's just laying there… Like that guy that died to a Saibaman… He was Kakarot's Raditz, I think!"

Raditz muttered, "I'm his brother, you idiots… That would technically mean that I'm that team's Raditz too… Not that it matters, I'm still insulted."

Nappa continued, "And there's Lord Frieza! What a boss, he's helping Vegeta back to his- Oh wait, he's kicking Vegeta's ass. How many Raditz does that make Lord Freiza?"

Dodoria mentioned, "Last he told me, he said he was approximately five hundred Raditz and three Yamcha's, regarding the exchange rate. What's a Yamcha, anyway?"

Meanwhile, on King Kai's planet, Yamcha sneezed before saying, "For some odd reason, I feel insulted, yet at the same time honored. Weird."

Back with Nappa and friends, Nappa said, "Aaaand there's Kakarot. Who wants to bet that Frieza kills somebody within ten minutes?"

Dodoria raised her(?) hand and said, "I got twenty Raditz on the Namekian!"

Raditz crossed his arms and said, "I have ten on Vegeta."

Nappa finished, "And I've got twenty on that rock formation over there!"

Raditz scowled and stated, "Nappa, did Dodoria fart on you again? Rocks aren't alive!"

Nappa said conspiratorially "I never said that that someone had to be alive in the first place. There are no rules that say Lord Frieza can't kill something that's already dead."

Raditz scowled and humphed, "Whatever."

The fish-faced alien screeched, "I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!"

Nappa said happily, "I know! Don't spoil the surprise for the rest of us, okay?"

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!" The alien said obligingly.

Goku asked, "Are you that Freezer guy?"

Frieza said haltingly, "I am Lord Frieza, yes."

Goku said eagerly, "Awesome! Imma deck you in the shnozz!"

Dodoria said, "Hm, I've never heard that one before."

Frieza shot Goku, and Goku reflected it off into the sky.

Surprised, Frieza immediately shot another, which Goku also blocked into the exact same rock formation that Nappa had bet for.

As Frieza unleashed a hail of lasers, Nappa collected his earnings triumphantly.

"And that's why I was King Vegeta's Vizier!" Nappa exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah. Now let's see if any of us gets our money back." Raditz growled.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I have complete and utmost faith in Vegeta! As long as he doesn't say the Super Saiyan speech again."

All four were silent as Vegeta coughed and began saying that Goku was the Super Saiyan, only to have Frieza blast him again in the chest.

"Vegeta, no!" Nappa exclaimed.

"Vegeta, no!" Goku exclaimed.

"Vegeta, no!" Gohan exclaimed.

"Don't worry, Little Green'll-" Krillin started, pausing when he remembered that Dende was dead.

"Oh… Vegeta, no!"

Piccolo rolled his eyes and said, "Meh."

"Well, I still like him as a friend." Nappa said after a moment of silence.

"Can I have my money back?" Raditz asked.

"Are you alright?" Goku asked.

Although very out of it at the moment, Vegeta managed to say incredulously, "I have… A f*cking hole in my chest. WHY DIDN'T YOU BLOCK THAT ONE?!"

Goku said defensively, "I thought you had it!"

Vegeta cried, "NO!"

Dodoria stated, "I'm surprised he's still talking; I thought Lord Frieza hit a lung or something."

Vegeta coughed out chunks of blood.

"Ah, there it is!" Dodoria said, pacified.

"Kakarot, if you are ever going to listen to anything I have to say, do it now." Vegeta groaned.

"What is it Vegeta?" Goku asked seriously.

"I've lived… my entire life under Frieza's rule… My entire kingdom… My race… was enslaved… to do his bidding." Vegeta struggled to say.

"I understand now!" Goku said. "If it weren't for Freezer, you wouldn't be-"

"Dying?" Vegeta interrupted. "No."

"…I was gonna say evil."

"Oh, no. I'd definitely still be evil. If this situation was reversed, this conversation would never have happened." Vegeta said. "You'd be dead, and I'd be laughing. Hahaha… Oh, it hurts to laugh…"

"So…" Goku said curiously, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because Kakarot, you are our races' last hope. You are the last remaining Saiyan."

Vegeta paused at what he just said before the realization gave him a heart attack. "Oh God. You're the last remaining Sayain!"

With that, he died.

Nappa turned around, and there lay Vegeta, in all his ghostliness.

"Wha…? Where am I?" Vegeta groaned before coughing and sitting up.

He froze when he heard, "Vegeta! You're alive! I mean, dead! I mean, a ghost!"

Vegeta's face became filled with horror as he said, "Oh God. Please don't let that be Nappa. Oh pleeaase let that not be Nappa!"

He turned slowly with his eyes closed, praying silently that this was just a dream, before he cracked an eyelid, daring a peek.

Nappa stared back at him.

Vegeta closed his eye again, groaning, "Oh, Goddammit Nappa."

"I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!"

There was dead silence before Vegeta breathed, "Ah… Sh*t."

Tloj: Well, looks like it's gonna be three parts. Oh well, now I can go all out!
