Kindred Spirits
Chapter 3: Suche
A/N: This is SSJ2MajinPhoenixWriter88, and this is my first DBZ fan fiction. I do not own anything from DBZ except my OCC Dr. Ice and Dusk.
Since Vegeta was taken Bulma was a nervous reck. It's been two weeks since Vegeta left, and Goku gathered the Z-fighters to search for Vegeta.
-The Lookout-
The Z-fighters were gathered to search for Vegeta.
"I don't see why all of us have to look for that murder." Tien said. Yamcha nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. He's a torn in everyone's side anyways."
"That awful man has caused nothing but trouble for us." Chichi said.
"Goku, what if he just ran away. What if he doesn't want to be found?" Piccolo asked. Goku sighed, he knew his friends didn't like Vegeta but he didn't know they didn't want to look for him. All he could see is Trunks trying to comfort his mother, as she was crying her eyes out.
"Look you guys, I promised Bulma that if Vegeta didn't show up in two weeks I'd look for him. I thought as his friends you'd do the same."
"Sorry Goku. He's no friend of mine." Tien said coldly. Yamcha nodded alongside Chichi. Gohan stepped forward toward his father.
"Dad, you know Vegeta he might have wanted to leave. He wasn't always a loyal person."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Eighteen yelled at everyone. "Now I've heard everyone put in why we shouldn't search for Vegeta. Now have you ever thought, he meant something to Bulma and Trunks? Now I know I don't know Vegeta all too well. But I know he is important to us. During the fight with Buu, who fought alongside Goku to help defeat Buu? Vegeta did. From what Kurilin told me, Vegeta has helped you guys on many occasions. Now why don't you all just forget the past and try to find him. I was once evil and I even killed people. It's just that if you can forgive me and Piccolo why not him. Sure he can be arrogant, and prideful but you never ask why is like that. You just assume a lot about him and that's wrong." Eighteen was a little winded after her speech but she still wanted to say one last thing. "Bulma, if these men here won't help you. Then Goten, Trunks, Goku and I will help you find your Prince."
Bulma looked at the android with joyful eyes. "Thank you, Eighteen."
Eighteen smiled at the crying woman and turned toward the z-fighters. "Well?"
"Your right. We'll help." Tien said. "I guess it's not good to hold a grudge."
"Yeah. Vegeta may be a lot of things, but he means the world to Bulma and Trunks." Yamcha said.
"I'm sorry Bulma. I didn't mean to be such a cunt." Chichi said. "If it was Goku, I know Vegeta would help no matter what."
Bulma felt so much better, the Z-fighters are now going to help her find Vegeta. Thanks to an unlikely source.
Vegeta didn't know how long it's been since he was aboard Dr. Ice's ship. According to his internal system it had been about two weeks. He hadn't eaten anything since he left home. He was so hungry; he had to get something to eat. Dusk looked up at her friend, and was worried.
"Geta…Geta?"
"Yes child."
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I am fine." Vegeta clenched as his stomach tighten.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"I caught something last night. Two rats, they're pretty big."
"You have them Dusk. You need your strength." Vegeta said.
"No. You need to eat. I had two rats already today before you woke up."
"Dusk."
"Geta please have it, for me."
"Okay." Vegeta smiled as he ate the two rats.
The Doctor stopped by the cell and laughed at the two.
"Vegeta. I've see you made a friend."
"Screw you!"
"Oh no. How rude of you after all I gave you a place to sleep."
"Get me out of here and I'll show you my gratitude." Vegeta snarled at the doctor.
"My Prince and princess why so mean. I'm your friend."
Dusk growled at the doctor.
"Then let me look at the moon."
"Dear, you know we can't do that."
"Your lucky Geta can't change or he would have killed you!"
"Oh yeah. Well he would have to have his tail."
"Yeah."
"How bout I return it to him."
"Baka doctor, it's removed permanently."
"Well monkey boy, I can give you the hormones to restore your tail back to normal."
"No. I want nothing from you!" Vegeta yelled at the doctor baring his fangs.
"Naughty monkey, I don't think you have a choice." Dr. Ice grinned as he and his men entered the cell. Dr. Ice's men knocked the wind out of Dusk. One of Dr. Ice's men pulled Vegeta's arms behind him and pinned him down. The other man placed a glass of substance on Vegeta's lips.
"Drink Monkey!"
"NO." Vegeta yelled.
"If you don't drink, she will pay dearly." Dr. Ice said coldly. "I'd hate to kill her."
Vegeta sighed as he slowly drank the substance.
"Good Monkey." Dr. Ice petted Vegeta as he left the cell. Vegeta sat up quickly his whole body was on fire. His lower back was aching and it felt like something was trying to rip through his skin. Vegeta was in so much pain, he didn't want to cry or scream but the pain was unbearable. Vegeta screamed as tears fell from his face. After a few minutes, the pain disappeared. Dusk awoke moments later to see Vegeta sleeping.
"Geta…wake up Geta…please wake up."
"Dusk. I'm okay just sleeping." Vegeta said sleepily.
"Geta, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. He hit me too hard, I was so weak." Dusk said in defeat.
"Dusk, you are not weak. You're strength is depleted and your young. Don't worry you'll be alright."
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I was in some pain earlier but it went away."
"Geta, what kind of pa…IN! GETA YOU HAVE A TAIL!"
"Hmm." Vegeta looked behind him too see a brownish soft appendage waving. "He wasn't kidding."
" Who."
"Dr. Ice. He said he would give me my tail back, I refused. As a coward he treated to kill you. So I drank his hormonal substance."
"Geta…do you feel any different?"
"No, my dear."
"Geta, I'm so sorry."
"Dusk, he is the coward. He will pay."
"Won't your friends come."
"No."
"How do you know?"
"They hate me."
"They will come."
"Dusk, I'm glad you have such optimism." Vegeta laid back in his bed.
"Geta do you love me?"
"Yes Dusk I care deeply for you."
Dusk squealed and hugged the Saiyajin Prince tightly.
"I love you too, Geta."
