Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z this is just a story for fun.
Aboard, Frieza's ship, Grapefruit had snuck into the medical bay and grabbed a few packets of blood, before sneaking back to the prison cell, where Vegita was being kept. The traitor took a deep breath and opened the cell very carefully and approached the unconscious Sayain. Grapefruit then opened the blood packets up and carefully poured them onto Vegita keeping a careful eye on him incase he moved, but he didn't. After a few seconds Vegita's arms and chest were covered in blood. Grapefruit smiled at his work and left the cell to begin the next phase of his plan.
In another part of the ship Dodoria was in his quarters silently cruising his luck. Ever since he got to Namek it seemed like things just kept going downhill for him. First he angered Frieza by accidentally killing that Namakin kin, then he got beaten by Vegita, though he did tell a convincing lie about what happened to him to Frieza and Zarbon, that lie was now exposed by Zarbon's fight with Vegita making Frieza question Dodoria's loyalty and angering him even more. Frieza had told Dodoria that he would be punished after he made his wish on the dragon balls. The thought of punishment made Dodoria shudder in fear, he was either going to be killed or greatly demoted. It was a shameful thing to happen to Dodoria after all his years of service. The big alien just grumbled as he tried to come up with a plan to redeem himself.
Elsewhere on the ship, Appule was hanging around one of the main decks daydreaming. There had been talk amongst the troops about Dodoria being demoted and a higher position being open up in the organization. Appule thought he might get promoted, he knew he wasn't the strongest solider, but he had proven his loyalty and Zarbon had given him more responsibilities showing he trusted Appule. This made Appule believe that he was moving up in the ranks. Appule became interrupted from his thoughts by Grapefruit running into the room with a panicked look in his eyes.
"I think Vegita is trying to kill himself! There is blood everywhere!"
Appule and a few couple of nearby soldiers quickly followed Grapefruit to the cell and saw Vegita covered in blood. Appule was startled by the sight, he hardly knew Vegita, but from what he heard about the prince, he didn't seem the type to take his own life, but due to his current situation suicide seemed a more quick and peaceful end then dying a slow death at Frieza's hands. The soldiers looked at Appule for instructions. Appule knew that Frieza would be furious if Vegita died before he could be punished and he would take his rage out on the messenger and anyone who was involved in the mess.
"Take him to the medical bay at once and throw him into a healing pod." Ordered Appule.
The soldiers quickly hopped to it and grabbed Vegita and began carrying him to the medical bay followed by Appule. As soon as they were gone Grapefruit let out a chuckle as he walked back to his quarters and pulled out a blaster. The traitor needed to move quickly before things started to get out of hand.
A mile away from Frieza's ship, Cooler, the Armored Squadron, and seventy soldiers were preparing to launch a sneak attack. Without their scouters, Frieza's forces wouldn't see the attack coming, until it was to late. Salza raised his hand and order the soldiers forward. The soldiers flew forward ready to fight.
Inside the ship, Vegita was put into one of the healing pods and Appule stood by to guard him. The purple alien watched the computer as it began to heal Vegita. As the machine healed the prince, Appule noticed something was weird about the readings. According to the machine Vegita dint have any severe cuts or loss of blood. Appule starred at the machine confused then, he went to take a closer look at Vegita. It was at that moment Vegita regained consciousness and pointed his hand up to fire an energy blast at Appule destroying the pod and causing an explosion in the ship.
"Aaaaaaaa!" Screamed Appule as the blast hit him and killed him.
Vegita stepped out of the pod and looked at Appule's dead body. The Sayian had no idea what was going on, but he didn't care, what mattered was he was healed up and able to fight again. Now he just had locate finding the dragon balls and avoid Frieza. The prince grinned as he sprinted down the hall looking for Frieza's quarters.
On another deck, Kata was in the private room he had been assigned, when he heard a loud explosion. He went to his door to see what was going on, but when he opened it he was confronted by Grapefruit pointing a blaster at his face.
"Your coming with me." Said Grapefruit as he grabbed Kata and marched him in front of him.
Kata could only obey as he was marched forward.
Frieza and his forces were confused by the explosion Vegita caused. Frieza and Zarbon went to go investigate the explosion and found Appule's dead body and the destroyed pod. The tyrant was fixing to give out some orders, when there was a bunch of screaming and shouting outside. Cooler's forces had arrived and they had began their attack.
"Cooler thinks he can attack me? I'll show him!" Snarled Frieza as he and Zarbon went outside to attack the invaders.
Vegita was making his way down the hall encountering very little resistance. Whenever a soldier did encounter him they would either run and scream for their lives or attempt to stop Vegita. The prince easily dealt with any soldier foolish enough to attack him. It was when he got closer to Frieza's room that he encountered twenty soldiers along with Dodoria. The brutish alien looked at Vegita startled and the soldiers cowered behind him. Vegita just smirked at them.
"So shall we finish what we started, or are you going to run away and get Zarbon and Frieza to fight me?" Said Vegita.
"Shut...up. I don't need them to kill...you!" Sputtered Dodoria.
"So is the lapdog going to to bark, or is he going to bite me." Taunted Vegita.
A vein on Dodoria's head bulged as he let out a roar and threw a punch at Vegita. The Sayian caught Dodoria's fist with his hand and twisted the arm hard. Dodoria screamed in pain as he fell to his knees. The soldiers gasped in horror and a couple of them ran for their lives. After a few seconds Vegita punched Dodoria in the face knocked him into a few of the soldiers knocking them to the ground. The prince raised his hand up and with a smirk he fired an energy blast that destroyed Dodoria and the soldiers causing a part of the ship's roof to be destroyed. Vegita just laughed as he continued on his way towards Frieza's quarters.
Outside the ship Frieza and Cooler's forces were blasting away at each other. It seemed that Cooler's forces had the advantage, until Frieza and Zarbon showed up on the scene. Zarbon quickly started to deal out death blows to Cooler's forces, while Frieza would occasionally fire a Death Beam at any unlucky solider. The tyrant looked up at the sky and saw his older brother with his elite team. As soon as the brothers eyes locked the fighting seemed to cease as both forces watched their leaders stare each other down.
"Cooler." Said Frieza.
"Frieza." Said Cooler.
"Have you come grovel and beg for mercy?" Asked Frieza.
"No, but I will make you grovel and beg." Said Cooler.
"As if you could." Said Frieza with a smirk.
"Oh I can and it will be me who will be the ruler of the universe." Said Cooler.
"Are you going to simply talk or are we going to get down to business?" Said Frieza.
"As much as I would like to do that. Now is not the time. I want you to know that I'm here and I will get the dragon balls. Once I do I will beat you within a inch of your life and make you watch me get my wish." Said Cooler.
The brothers glared murderously at one another.
In the ship Vegita made it to Frieza's quarters and found the dragon balls. The prince then hurled the orbs through a window with incredible speed and then he flew after them laughing at how he easily stole the precious orbs right out from under Frieza's nose.
Outside the two forces watched their leaders, wondering if a fight was fixing to breakout between them. It was at that moment a Frieza solider ran out of the ship shouting.
"Lord Frieza! Vegita has escaped and stolen the dragon balls!"
"WHAT?!" Shouted Frieza in rage.
"It appears that your little pet has bested you." Chuckled Cooler as he turned around to leave. "There's no need in going after them right now, but rest assured. This is far from over."
Cooler and his forces left, leaving Frieza's forces annoyed and enraged. Frieza turned to Zarbon.
"Find Vegita and bring the dragon balls to me within the next hour."
"Yes my lord." Said Zarbon with a bow.
One of the solders showed Zarbon which way Vegita went and he flew off after the prince. The hunt for the dragon balls was on again.
To be continued.
