A Broken Leg; A Suffering Mind
It was three o'clock in the morning, Krystal was staring at the ceiling, she couldn't get to sleep, "I wish something exciting would happen..." She shut her eyes, but did not go to sleep, "I need to fight, it's getting old, this constant school, school and more school!" She didn't bother keeping her voice down, since her roomed was sealed off.
One of her eyes opened, as she heard something from the room beside her, the training room, she sighed and shook her head, "Vegeta has got to learn to sleep, how come he doesn't just collapse from exhaustion, tomorrow's Monday!"
Meanwhile, Vegeta was training as hard as he could possibly without just giving in entirely, "If I quit training, I might get out of the habit!" He growled and deflected a blast, "Which would not be good."
He got slung into the ground, skidding a few feet after a blast hit him from behind, "Dang it!" He jumped up and kicked the thing that fired the blast and knocked it to the ground, malfunctioning.
"Oops!" He made a face and turned to deflect another blast that another one of the stupid things had fired, the room was lit up in red, and the gravity now read five fifty, Vegeta shook his head and walked over to the control panel and pressed a button, he then jerked around to see a holograph of himself, which had twice the power-level he did, "Now!" He jumped at it.
It dodged and kicked him in the jaw, then fired a blast at him and knocked him down, creating a small crater, which seemed to repair itself, meanwhile, he dodged random blasts fired by the four remaining freaky things, "Damn!" He stood up and kicked the holograph across the room.
--------------------------------
Calis shut his eyes and opened them again, and repeated the process, he climbed out of bed and glanced at the clock, it read three thirty, "Damn, I woke up early again." He lied back down in bed, "I've got to get back to sleep..." He muttered to himself and shut his eyes.
He twisted and turned in his bed, unhappily, he couldn't get back to sleep, he then gave up and sat up, "I need something to drink."
Calis made his way down the hall and walked into the large kitchen area, where he found a sleeping Chris, he had his head down on the table and had some different foods laid out, the saiyan smirked, "Guess getting something to eat really works." He walked over to the refrigerator.
Chris jerked his head up, "Gah!" He looked over at Calis, "Oh, it's just you, I had a peculiar, Calis turned to him.
"That's odd, so did I..." He pulled out some bread, peanut butter and jelly, "What was yours about?"
"Uh, Vegeta, I'd rather not discuss it, yours?"
Calis got a serious expression on his face, but was turned away from Chris, "Same..." He blinked, 'Could it be just a coincidence? I hope so...'
Chris nodded, "It was the freakiest dream I've ever had..."
The other saiyan boy looked away, "Chris...remember before...when that ugly guy hurt Vegeta, really bad, he was out to kill him..."
"Yeah, of course, how could I forget..." Chris glanced at him, "Why did you bring that up all of a sudden?"
"Because, Vegeta had dreams about him before he showed up..."
"Oh, well..."
Calis shook his head, "Well, that doesn't mean anything, Vegeta hasn't had a dream and it probably isn't about the same person anyway." Calis remembered the man in his own dream, he was in the shadows and laughing, Calis closed his eyes, "Heh..."
--------------------------
Speaking of which, the saiyan prince felt the stronger version of himself's laced hands collide with the back of his neck, Vegeta spat out blood and hit the ground, blacking out, "Damn..."
He growled slightly in his sleep, but remained unconscious.
Vegeta blinked and stood up, he looked around, it was raining, he remembered this place well, "Wh-WHAT?!" He looked around, "How?"
Niten appeared in front of him, smirking, "Hello Vegeta, it's been awhile, child..."
Vegeta stepped backwards, "It's you, but why?" He shook his head and growled, "Don't you ever learn?!"
Niten smirked, "Boy, you are the only person who ever had the guts to challenge in battle, and then DEFEAT me, it was disgracing!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "Because you are an incompetent, overly cocky, worthless fighter, you're stupid ego was your downfall, and what do you want?" He growled.
"Vegeta, I know you know what revenge is, right?"
"Freak! It's one thing to lose gracefully, but to come back, WHY?! Don't..." The young boy could sense his power-level and he knew he was keeping it low. 'He's gotten so much stronger.'
Niten smirked, "Here, Vegeta!" He kicked the saiyan back into a wall.
Vegeta hit the wall and wiped off his mouth, which blood had run down, "You creep!" He charged at Niten, who jumped to the side and kicked at him, Vegeta ducked under it and punched at him, but it went right through him, "Shoot."
Niten nailed Vegeta in the ribs, "You can't hit me, you pathetic child..."
Vegeta got up and punched at him again, he couldn't seem to go to full power, "You....creep!"
"You are such a fool, I admire your determination though." He chuckled, and knocked Vegeta on to the ground, kicking him farther down, making a crater.
Vegeta growled and jumped up, yet again, "Here I come...you creep!" He charged at Niten, and punched as hard as he possibly could.
Niten actually stumbled, "Wow...you're not as much as a runt as I thought..."
Vegeta fell on to the ground, he hadn't realized he had put energy into that, "Why...am I so...tired."
Niten grabbed him by the arm, "Do you feel your body getting any weaker, little one?"
Vegeta collapsed on to his knees, "I..." He just spat out blood and panted. He realized he had many more cuts and bruises on him than he had thought, "What...why?!" He growled and looked up at his opponent.
"My touch..." He squeezed Vegeta's wrist and lightening gathered and struck the poor saiyan prince, "Is lethal." He smirked, "I've been waiting to torture you for a long time, and this is only the beginning."
Vegeta cracked an eye open, "It-it...not only drained my energy and electrocuted me, it...hurt me with injuries?" His eyes widened, "How?" He was already stammering, it had only been five minutes tops.
"That's right, isn't it neat." He snapped the prince's wrist, "How does it feel." He outstretched his left hand and Vegeta grabbed his ribs, "I just ground your ribs into a fine powder..."
Vegeta screamed, "How?!" Blood emitted from hid mouth, "That's impossible."
"I'm psychic, have you forgotten already?" He smirked and a black aura formed around Vegeta, picking him up.
Vegeta growled, "Shoot..." He wanted desperately to grab his ribcage, but was being prevented psychically. "Cr-eep..."
Niten laughed, and clenched his fists, causing the young saiyan to be psychically crushed, "Vegeta, give up and I'll let you done, plead for your pathetic life."
Vegeta winced and growled at him, "Not on your life!"
"What about your own?" He squeezed the saiyan tighter, and Vegeta felt and heard his right arm snap.
"N-never!" He growled, and moaned in agony, "I'd never beg you...for anything?!"
"Yeah, your life is far too worthless for that, eh?" He did it tighter, "If not begging, then say you'll join me, or suffer serious consequences."
"NO!" Vegeta screamed, fighting the pain, "I wouldn't join you...if-if you were the last person...or whatever you are in the universe!"
Niten smirked, "I figured you'd refuse!" Lightening struck Vegeta again, and Niten flew up and got to his level, then lifted his chin, se he could meet his furious eyes, "But, I'll give you one last chance." He drew his saber, which he had attached to his back, in a scabbard and held it to Vegeta's throat.
Vegeta's eyes widened, then narrowed, "No!" He growled.
Niten slashed him across the throat, causing him to spit up blood, "I'll make you!"
Vegeta glared at Niten, "You can't!" He began panting heavily, "I...won't do it." He began stammering along his words.
Niten smirked, "I have been waiting so long to watch you be in this much pain."
Vegeta just spat out blood and growled, still panting, "You..." He stammered quite a bit, coughing up some blood, after having his throat's slit deepened, he was completely immobilized, "Demented...freak."
Niten grinned evilly, and slashed him across the chest, Vegeta looked around, everything had begun to black out, Niten leaned over and whispered into his ears, "I'll kill you, Vegeta Ouji...and all of your friends as well."
Vegeta screamed and woke up in a cold sweat, with a throbbing headache, "NO!" He noticed he was still in the training room, he sat up and moaned, "What a nightmare..." He blinked, "But...did it mean something, he didn't really..." Vegeta cut himself off and realized that he still had wounds from earlier.
Krystal walked into the room, "Well, I'm not even going to ask did you sleep well, since I was up at three and could hear you in here?" She looked at his injuries, "You're lucky that machine automatically shut down, or you might have been seriously hurt." She glanced at a cut in his throat, "Guess it didn't shut down completely, eh?"
Vegeta's eyes widened, and he ran in hand along the slit, "Uh...guess not..." He felt some sweat roll down his face, accompanied by some blood, "Heh..."
Krystal nodded, "You better go wash up, and how are you going to explain that slit, huh?" She made a face and handed him a clear bandage, "That way it won't be as noticeable!"
Vegeta nodded, "Thanks, Krystal."
Krystal shrugged, "Avoid people today...you're a little messed up, you think you can handle that request?"
"Yeah, what time is it." Vegeta rubbed his head.
"Six forty."
Vegeta stood up, "I better get ready." He slipped off his armor and the top half of his jumpsuit, "Thanks, Krystal..."
Krystal smiled and nodded, but she caught on to the fact that something was bugging him, "Right, Vegeta..." She shook her head, 'Better not be nosy, I'll just go get ready...' She turned and walked off.
Calis greeted her, "Hey, was Vegeta alright?"
Krystal nodded, "He was fine..." She shrugged, "He had a slit on his throat, it was weird because..." She trailed off and looked away, "I better go get ready."
Calis eye her carefully, watching her walk off, "Hm...that's weird." He walked into the training room, where Vegeta had gone into his room from, he walked into Vegeta's room, "Hey, Vegeta?"
Vegeta looked up at him, he already had on his jeans, but was shirtless, "Oh, hey, Calis."
Calis nodded, "I take it you didn't sleep too well?" He cocked an eyebrow, and glanced at the necklace around his neck, "You train more than me..." He made a face, "It isn't fair."
Vegeta laughed, "Very funny, Calis." He slipped on a light blue, as usual, sleeveless shirt on. "Did you sleep well?"
"No, not really, I had some stupid dreams, it was weird." He watched Vegeta, intently, waiting for a response.
"Oh...you did...so did I..." He noticed Vegeta immediately looked for serious than he had.
'Damn it, I don't think it was just me.' He growled and clenched his fists, 'I hope it is, I can't have another thing like that going on again.'
Vegeta glanced at him, noticing an awkward response, "Calis?" He cocked an eyebrow at the older saiyan.
"Oh, sorry, guess I started daydreaming...huh?" He smiled at Vegeta and dismissed his thoughts for the time.
Vegeta smiled, "Okay." He slipped on his tennis shoes and walked out.
Calis nodded and followed him, he was wearing an orange shirt, and that same old leather jacket over it, he had on jeans, tennis shoes and sunglasses, with silver out-lining so he looked all cool and everything, "Right!"
Lee greeted them in the hallway, dressed in a collared red T-shirt and jeans, wearing brown boots and finger-less gloves, which were red, with yellow out-lining, "What's up?" Lee had forced himself not to think about his own dream, which, all the saiyans had had, Vegeta's being the worst.
--------------------------------
On their way to school, Krystal found it nearly impossible to talk with the cute prince, she kept searching for conversation, but thinking only about that stupid dream, she was wearing a yellow shirt, with green jeans, that were cut at the bottom, and lime green sandals, "So, uh..."
Vegeta glanced at her, "Um..." He was also lacking anything to talk about, "Anyway..."
Krystal sighed, "How's your neck?" As much as she didn't want to bring that up, she had to talk to him, she was desperate.
"It's fine, it doesn't really hurt, but my head does!" He made a face, and realized that the school was basically right in front of him, "I can hardly see straight..."
Krystal nodded, "Oh, I could have given to an aspirin, Vegeta!" She rolled her eyes at him, "You need to tell people these things."
Vegeta just shrugged, "Oh, you're just being curious."
"So..." She smirked at him, and he just grinned.
"So...what if I didn't want to use medicine? Last time Kate used it, she started saying freaky things!"
Krystal smiled, "That's because Calis replaced the aspirin with hallucination crap!" She rolled her eyes, "He's so revengeful."
Vegeta nodded, "Not quite as bad as Max, though."
Krystal smirked, "Now, there's who you hire for the ultimate revenge."
"Revenge..." Vegeta muttered and looked out the window, "I had a dream about 'revenge', it was 'interesting'..." He narrowed his eyes.
"So, did I..." Krystal glanced at him, "Weird, huh?" She didn't want to talk about this, but was there a point in hiding it?
"Oh." Vegeta clearly didn't want to talk about it, he could feel the pain, as if it was really happening, right now.
Krystal nodded, "Well, looks like we're here!"
Vegeta shrugged, "Well, another boring day of school starts now!" He was happy to be off the subject, "Let's go see how bored we can be."
Krystal smirked, "Yep! Don't M-Monday's rule?" She stuttered on the name, trying to remember what it was called.
Vegeta nodded, "That's it!" He smiled and stepped out of the car, opening the door for Krystal after walking around to the other side, "There you go."
She smiled at him, then pushed him slightly, "Thanks!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "Some thank you." He walked over to Calis, who was just stepping out of his car, "You are early?"
"Yeah, you too, guess it's an early morning for us, huh?" Calis smirked, "More time to annoy people, huh Hikaru?"
Hikaru growled and sulked in Max's car, "Hmph!"
Max growled, "GET OUT OF MY CAR! We've been here for five minutes now!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fine.." Hikaru knew not to upset Max, or she would pay ever so dearly, she then shot a hot glance towards Calis.
Calis smirked, "Hey...you're early, huh? What a surprise, you're always so slow getting ready in the morning." He turned away, "But...oh, you stick!"
Earlier this morning, Calis had first, used all the hot water, since he was the second last one to take a shower, excluding Hikaru, then flushed the toilet while she was in there, preventing her from taking one, "Shut up!"
Calis grinned, "It's called revenge, that's what you get for taking two of MY dollars!" He crossed his arms, satisfied.
Hikaru snarled, "Two, you idiot!" She rolled her eyes, "Is that worth a whole day of my humiliation."
"Oh yes!" Calis rubbed his hands together maliciously.
Krystal glanced at Calis, "Go you, you actually DID get her back, I thought you were playing around."
Chris, once again, was talking to Karen, "How was your weekend?"
"Fine!" She smiled, "Thank you for asking, and how was yours?"
"Boring as ever!"
Calis glanced at Chris and narrowed his eyes, "He sure does hang out with her a lot, it's weird..." He looked away.
"Veggie-chan's early!"
"Enjeru..." Vegeta made a face and turned around to see her standing there.
"Hiya! I see you know my intro by now, huh?" She hugged him, "How are you, or how was your great weekend."
"Uh, same as always, I guess..." Vegeta made a face and smiled nervously at her.
She giggled, "You're funny, you get so nervous when people hug you, normally boys will hang all over me if I did that, you're so cute, and not stupid!"
"It's amazing." Honno walked up to them all.
Enjeru laughed, "you can say that again, Honno!" She glanced into Vegeta's eyes, and randomly said, "You're eyes are pretty!"
Vegeta made a face, "Was that random, or do you always say stuff like that?"
Honno looked into his eyes, 'They really are, I've never seen anyone with that eye color before, and it goes so well with that necklace.'
Enjeru shrugged, "That was pretty random, they just seem to stand out!"
Krystal smiled, "Heh...typical..."
Vegeta stood on the sidewalk, near the school, "Guess I shouldn't go in right away now, huh?"
"Nope, now you guys can socialize."
Lee rolled his eyes, "Great!"
Calis nodded, "you can say that again."
Kakarott groaned unhappily, "Get it off! How did you recover so FAST?!" He made a face, "And why YOU, why couldn't have someone else made a miraculous recovery, why YOU?!"
"My love for you kept me going, I had to see you again." She went into this sappy love stuff and other crap.
Kakarott growled, "Yuk, do you ever SHUT UP?!" He tried to sling her off.
He failed, "Oh, Goku..."
"Oh, cut it with the sappy shit!" He growled, was she so stupid she didn't realize WHAT he was saying?
"Oh...I missed you."
"GO AWAY!" He moaned, unhappily.
Krystal noticed a freakin trunk, driving completely crazily and heading right at Vegeta, "Vegeta!"
Vegeta jerked his head to see what she meant and saw the truck, with Yamcha driving in the window, he stepped back with his right leg, and blinked, leaving his left leg in front, "Uh..." He tried desperately to move, but freaked out when Bulma started yelling, and tried to move at the last second and the truck slammed into him, right when he was in a position, with his right left in an easy breaking position and sent him backwards.
Alex ran outside, to see what had happened, hearing Bulma's scream, the glanced at Vegeta, who's tail had come unraveled in mid-flight, "Huh?" Alex narrowed his eyes and watch Vegeta hit the ground.
Vegeta skidded him along the concrete, where he flipped, another car skidded to a stop, he landed flat on his face, and different car hit Yamcha from behind and got all up under the truck, "Ow," Vegeta muttered, with his face driven into the concrete.
"Vegeta!" Calis growled and ran over to him.
Krystal also ran over to him, "Are you okay?"
Alex's eyes widened, he then glared at Yamcha, "You stupid jock!" He growled, "You just hit caused complete chaos, and also hit a boy...who has...a tail." Alex said the last part quietly.
"I-I'm sorry..."
Vegeta growled and got up, "Stupid leg..." He stood up and wiped some blood off his busted lip.
Alex growled and KNOCKED Yamcha out of the car, "Dumb kid!" He kept a close eye on Vegeta, who stood up, "There it is again..." His tail was now in plain sight.
Vegeta growled, he put his tail under his shirt, trying not to move it, hoping no one saw, (It's not coiled, just straight up in his shirt.) "Uh..."
He didn't notice Alex, "Uh..." He looked around, he needed to divert the attention away from himself, so he could fix his leg without any suspicions.
He was being mobbed right now, he pushed a few people aside, looked back and ran in, very quickly, being followed more slowly, "Oh, right." Krystal glanced at Calis, who got the point, too.
Lee shrugged, "He better hurry, his followers are going to see him..." He muttered this under his breath.
Alex followed him quickly and saw him turn a corner, he stayed well hidden, "What now?"
The saiyan looked around, then his tail reappeared and he coiled it around his waist, he then glanced down at his leg, checked for people on last time, and placed his hands on his lower leg area, "And now..."
Alex continued to watch him, :what can he do about it?"
Vegeta jerked his hands, moaning slightly and his leg snapped back into place, "There, it'll hurt for awhile, but it'll have to do!"
Alex just stared at him, "He's not an Earthling...right, I can't ASSUME just yet, but, so far...no Earthlings...have..." He decided to see, he stepped out, "Well, hello there."
Vegeta's eyes widened, "M-Mr. Sanshreez, h-how long have you been there?"
"Just got here, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I-I'm fine, thank you."
Alex nodded, "Okay, well, you know, most people wouldn't have survived, much less be standing, you seem like a tough kid, though."
Vegeta nodded, "Heh...yeah..." The saiyan was petrified, he hadn't seen, right?
Alex nodded, "Okay..." He walked off.
Vegeta sighed in relief, 'He didn't notice, RIGHT?'
Right before he turned the corner, he said, "Oh, and you might want to get that tail of yours looked at."
Vegeta's heart sank, 'No!' He put his face in his hands, how could he have let this happen.
Alex stopped and felt utterly sorry for doing this to the poor kid, he glanced back to see what he was doing, Vegeta was shaking his head in anguish, looking utterly mad at himself, "Poor thing, I need to make him feel better..." He shrugged, "I might as well not mention it, pretend to think it's something different, meanwhile I'll investigate..."
Vegeta dropped his head, "How could I?"
Alex was going to say something, then decided against it, then numerous people mobbed the poor boy, who nearly freaked out, "Gah, popular, isn't he?"
Vegeta sighed, "Oh well, maybe it didn't give it away completely." He found no comfort in pitying himself for anything.
Enjeru looked at him, "Wow, you're really tough, aren't you? You shook that off quick!"
----------------------------
Honno sat quietly outside, "A tail, eh?" She had seen Vegeta's tail also, she also saw that Alex had seen, "It's weird..."
Kate was watching her, figuring Vegeta had plenty of helpers to help him recover, "Hm, it looks like someone might have noticed his tail, well that's not that big of a deal, we can come up with a clever excuse for it, I suppose."
Honno crossed her arms, "I knew he was weird, no boy is so polite and kind yet still strong and smart, no Earthling boy, that is!" Honno looked slightly curious, "Well, I guess he could be a really weird Earthling, I shouldn't jump to conclusions like this!"
Kate sighed in relief, "Everyone likes him, it's hard to make them think he's not safe to be around, but, actually...he is, he's plenty safe, but it's hard to make people think he's different, she might be a problem, since she reminds me of Krystal, but, I'm sick of worrying, that stupid dream was enough worrying for one session."
------------------------------
Calis knelt down next to Vegeta, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." He glanced at Calis and nodded, for some reason, he didn't feel nervous or anything about what had happened, probably because even his own mind drifted back to his peculiar dream, that everyone had seemed to have.
"Good!" Krystal put her hand on his shoulder.
Bulma tried her best to reach him, she managed to get next to him, "You okay?"
He nodded, "Fine."
Krystal looked him in the eyes, "It seems like everywhere he turns, someone's out to get him, how can anyone not enjoy being around him?" She smiled.
He smiled back at her, "Heh..."

A Broken Leg; A Suffering Mind
It was three o'clock in the morning, Krystal was staring at the ceiling, she couldn't get to sleep, "I wish something exciting would happen..." She shut her eyes, but did not go to sleep, "I need to fight, it's getting old, this constant school, school and more school!" She didn't bother keeping her voice down, since her roomed was sealed off.
One of her eyes opened, as she heard something from the room beside her, the training room, she sighed and shook her head, "Vegeta has got to learn to sleep, how come he doesn't just collapse from exhaustion, tomorrow's Monday!"

"Oops!" He made a face and turned to deflect another blast that another one of the stupid things had fired, the room was lit up in red, and the gravity now read five fifty, Vegeta shook his head and walked over to the control panel and pressed a button, he then jerked around to see a holograph of himself, which had twice the power-level he did, "Now!" He jumped at it.
It dodged and kicked him in the jaw, then fired a blast at him and knocked him down, creating a small crater, which seemed to repair itself, meanwhile, he dodged random blasts fired by the four remaining freaky things, "Damn!" He stood up and kicked the holograph across the room.
--------------------------------
Calis shut his eyes and opened them again, and repeated the process, he climbed out of bed and glanced at the clock, it read three thirty, "Damn, I woke up early again." He lied back down in bed, "I've got to get back to sleep..." He muttered to himself and shut his eyes.
He twisted and turned in his bed, unhappily, he couldn't get back to sleep, he then gave up and sat up, "I need something to drink."
Calis made his way down the hall and walked into the large kitchen area, where he found a sleeping Chris, he had his head down on the table and had some different foods laid out, the saiyan smirked, "Guess getting something to eat really works." He walked over to the refrigerator.
Chris jerked his head up, "Gah!" He looked over at Calis, "Oh, it's just you, I had a peculiar, Calis turned to him.
"That's odd, so did I..." He pulled out some bread, peanut butter and jelly, "What was yours about?"
"Uh, Vegeta, I'd rather not discuss it, yours?"
Calis got a serious expression on his face, but was turned away from Chris, "Same..." He blinked, 'Could it be just a coincidence? I hope so...'
Chris nodded, "It was the freakiest dream I've ever had..."
The other saiyan boy looked away, "Chris...remember before...when that ugly guy hurt Vegeta, really bad, he was out to kill him..."

"Freak! It's one thing to lose gracefully, but to come back, WHY?! Don't..." The young boy could sense his power-level and he knew he was keeping it low. 'He's gotten so much stronger.'
Niten smirked, "Here, Vegeta!" He kicked the saiyan back into a wall.
Vegeta hit the wall and wiped off his mouth, which blood had run down, "You creep!" He charged at Niten, who jumped to the side and kicked at him, Vegeta ducked under it and punched at him, but it went right through him, "Shoot."
Niten nailed Vegeta in the ribs, "You can't hit me, you pathetic child..."
Vegeta got up and punched at him again, he couldn't seem to go to full power, "You....creep!"
"You are such a fool, I admire your determination though." He chuckled, and knocked Vegeta on to the ground, kicking him farther down, making a crater.
Vegeta growled and jumped up, yet again, "Here I come...you creep!" He charged at Niten, and punched as hard as he possibly could.
Niten actually stumbled, "Wow...you're not as much as a runt as I thought..."
Vegeta fell on to the ground, he hadn't realized he had put energy into that, "Why...am I so...tired."
Niten grabbed him by the arm, "Do you feel your body getting any weaker, little one?"
Vegeta collapsed on to his knees, "I..." He just spat out blood and panted. He realized he had many more cuts and bruises on him than he had thought, "What...why?!" He growled and looked up at his opponent.
"My touch..." He squeezed Vegeta's wrist and lightening gathered and struck the poor saiyan prince, "Is lethal." He smirked, "I've been waiting to torture you for a long time, and this is only the beginning."
Vegeta cracked an eye open, "It-it...not only drained my energy and electrocuted me, it...hurt me with injuries?" His eyes widened, "How?" He was already stammering, it had only been five minutes tops.
"That's right, isn't it neat." He snapped the prince's wrist, "How does it feel." He outstretched his left hand and Vegeta grabbed his ribs, "I just ground your ribs into a fine powder..."
Vegeta screamed, "How?!" Blood emitted from hid mouth, "That's impossible."
"I'm psychic, have you forgotten already?" He smirked and a black aura formed around Vegeta, picking him up.
Vegeta growled, "Shoot..." He wanted desperately to grab his ribcage, but was being prevented psychically. "Cr-eep..."
Niten laughed, and clenched his fists, causing the young saiyan to be psychically crushed, "Vegeta, give up and I'll let you done, plead for your pathetic life."
Vegeta winced and growled at him, "Not on your life!"
"What about your own?" He squeezed the saiyan tighter, and Vegeta felt and heard his right arm snap.
"N-never!" He growled, and moaned in agony, "I'd never beg you...for anything?!"
"Yeah, your life is far too worthless for that, eh?" He did it tighter, "If not begging, then say you'll join me, or suffer serious consequences."
"NO!" Vegeta screamed, fighting the pain, "I wouldn't join you...if-if you were the last person...or whatever you are in the universe!"
Niten smirked, "I figured you'd refuse!" Lightening struck Vegeta again, and Niten flew up and got to his level, then lifted his chin, se he could meet his furious eyes, "But, I'll give you one last chance." He drew his saber, which he had attached to his back, in a scabbard and held it to Vegeta's throat.
Vegeta's eyes widened, then narrowed, "No!" He growled.
Niten slashed him across the throat, causing him to spit up blood, "I'll make you!"
Vegeta glared at Niten, "You can't!" He began panting heavily, "I...won't do it." He began stammering along his words.
Niten smirked, "I have been waiting so long to watch you be in this much pain."
Vegeta just spat out blood and growled, still panting, "You..." He stammered quite a bit, coughing up some blood, after having his throat's slit deepened, he was completely immobilized, "Demented...freak."
Niten grinned evilly, and slashed him across the chest, Vegeta looked around, everything had begun to black out, Niten leaned over and whispered into his ears, "I'll kill you, Vegeta Ouji...and all of your friends as well."
Vegeta screamed and woke up in a cold sweat, with a throbbing headache, "NO!" He noticed he was still in the training room, he sat up and moaned, "What a nightmare..." He blinked, "But...did it mean something, he didn't really..." Vegeta cut himself off and realized that he still had wounds from earlier.
Krystal walked into the room, "Well, I'm not even going to ask did you sleep well, since I was up at three and could hear you in here?" She looked at his injuries, "You're lucky that machine automatically shut down, or you might have been seriously hurt." She glanced at a cut in his throat, "Guess it didn't shut down completely, eh?"
Vegeta's eyes widened, and he ran in hand along the slit, "Uh...guess not..." He felt some sweat roll down his face, accompanied by some blood, "Heh..."
Krystal nodded, "You better go wash up, and how are you going to explain that slit, huh?" She made a face and handed him a clear bandage, "That way it won't be as noticeable!"
Vegeta nodded, "Thanks, Krystal."
Krystal shrugged, "Avoid people today...you're a little messed up, you think you can handle that request?"
"Yeah, what time is it." Vegeta rubbed his head.
"Six forty."
Vegeta stood up, "I better get ready." He slipped off his armor and the top half of his jumpsuit, "Thanks, Krystal..."
Krystal smiled and nodded, but she caught on to the fact that something was bugging him, "Right, Vegeta..." She shook her head, 'Better not be nosy, I'll just go get ready...' She turned and walked off.
Calis greeted her, "Hey, was Vegeta alright?"
Krystal nodded, "He was fine..." She shrugged, "He had a slit on his throat, it was weird because..." She trailed off and looked away, "I better go get ready."
Calis eye her carefully, watching her walk off, "Hm...that's weird." He walked into the training room, where Vegeta had gone into his room from, he walked into Vegeta's room, "Hey, Vegeta?"
Vegeta looked up at him, he already had on his jeans, but was shirtless, "Oh, hey, Calis."
Calis nodded, "I take it you didn't sleep too well?" He cocked an eyebrow, and glanced at the necklace around his neck, "You train more than me..." He made a face, "It isn't fair."
Vegeta laughed, "Very funny, Calis." He slipped on a light blue, as usual, sleeveless shirt on. "Did you sleep well?"
"No, not really, I had some stupid dreams, it was weird." He watched Vegeta, intently, waiting for a response.
"Oh...you did...so did I..." He noticed Vegeta immediately looked for serious than he had.
'Damn it, I don't think it was just me.' He growled and clenched his fists, 'I hope it is, I can't have another thing like that going on again.'
Vegeta glanced at him, noticing an awkward response, "Calis?" He cocked an eyebrow at the older saiyan.
"Oh, sorry, guess I started daydreaming...huh?" He smiled at Vegeta and dismissed his thoughts for the time.
Vegeta smiled, "Okay." He slipped on his tennis shoes and walked out.
Calis nodded and followed him, he was wearing an orange shirt, and that same old leather jacket over it, he had on jeans, tennis shoes and sunglasses, with silver out-lining so he looked all cool and everything, "Right!"
Lee greeted them in the hallway, dressed in a collared red T-shirt and jeans, wearing brown boots and finger-less gloves, which were red, with yellow out-lining, "What's up?" Lee had forced himself not to think about his own dream, which, all the saiyans had had, Vegeta's being the worst.
--------------------------------
On their way to school, Krystal found it nearly impossible to talk with the cute prince, she kept searching for conversation, but thinking only about that stupid dream, she was wearing a yellow shirt, with green jeans, that were cut at the bottom, and lime green sandals, "So, uh..."
Vegeta glanced at her, "Um..." He was also lacking anything to talk about, "Anyway..."
Krystal sighed, "How's your neck?" As much as she didn't want to bring that up, she had to talk to him, she was desperate.
"It's fine, it doesn't really hurt, but my head does!" He made a face, and realized that the school was basically right in front of him, "I can hardly see straight..."
Krystal nodded, "Oh, I could have given to an aspirin, Vegeta!" She rolled her eyes at him, "You need to tell people these things."
Vegeta just shrugged, "Oh, you're just being curious."
"So..." She smirked at him, and he just grinned.
"So...what if I didn't want to use medicine? Last time Kate used it, she started saying freaky things!"
Krystal smiled, "That's because Calis replaced the aspirin with hallucination crap!" She rolled her eyes, "He's so revengeful."
Vegeta nodded, "Not quite as bad as Max, though."
Krystal smirked, "Now, there's who you hire for the ultimate revenge."
"Revenge..." Vegeta muttered and looked out the window, "I had a dream about 'revenge', it was 'interesting'..." He narrowed his eyes.
"So, did I..." Krystal glanced at him, "Weird, huh?" She didn't want to talk about this, but was there a point in hiding it?
"Oh." Vegeta clearly didn't want to talk about it, he could feel the pain, as if it was really happening, right now.
Krystal nodded, "Well, looks like we're here!"
Vegeta shrugged, "Well, another boring day of school starts now!" He was happy to be off the subject, "Let's go see how bored we can be."
Krystal smirked, "Yep! Don't M-Monday's rule?" She stuttered on the name, trying to remember what it was called.
Vegeta nodded, "That's it!" He smiled and stepped out of the car, opening the door for Krystal after walking around to the other side, "There you go."
She smiled at him, then pushed him slightly, "Thanks!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "Some thank you." He walked over to Calis, who was just stepping out of his car, "You are early?"
"Yeah, you too, guess it's an early morning for us, huh?" Calis smirked, "More time to annoy people, huh Hikaru?"
Hikaru growled and sulked in Max's car, "Hmph!"
Max growled, "GET OUT OF MY CAR! We've been here for five minutes now!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fine.." Hikaru knew not to upset Max, or she would pay ever so dearly, she then shot a hot glance towards Calis.
Calis smirked, "Hey...you're early, huh? What a surprise, you're always so slow getting ready in the morning." He turned away, "But...oh, you stick!"
Earlier this morning, Calis had first, used all the hot water, since he was the second last one to take a shower, excluding Hikaru, then flushed the toilet while she was in there, preventing her from taking one, "Shut up!"
Calis grinned, "It's called revenge, that's what you get for taking two of MY dollars!" He crossed his arms, satisfied.
Hikaru snarled, "Two, you idiot!" She rolled her eyes, "Is that worth a whole day of my humiliation."
"Oh yes!" Calis rubbed his hands together maliciously.
Krystal glanced at Calis, "Go you, you actually DID get her back, I thought you were playing around."
Chris, once again, was talking to Karen, "How was your weekend?"
"Fine!" She smiled, "Thank you for asking, and how was yours?"
"Boring as ever!"
Calis glanced at Chris and narrowed his eyes, "He sure does hang out with her a lot, it's weird..." He looked away.
"Veggie-chan's early!"
"Enjeru..." Vegeta made a face and turned around to see her standing there.
"Hiya! I see you know my intro by now, huh?" She hugged him, "How are you, or how was your great weekend."
"Uh, same as always, I guess..." Vegeta made a face and smiled nervously at her.
She giggled, "You're funny, you get so nervous when people hug you, normally boys will hang all over me if I did that, you're so cute, and not stupid!"
"It's amazing." Honno walked up to them all.
Enjeru laughed, "you can say that again, Honno!" She glanced into Vegeta's eyes, and randomly said, "You're eyes are pretty!"
Vegeta made a face, "Was that random, or do you always say stuff like that?"
Honno looked into his eyes, 'They really are, I've never seen anyone with that eye color before, and it goes so well with that necklace.'
Enjeru shrugged, "That was pretty random, they just seem to stand out!"
Krystal smiled, "Heh...typical..."
Vegeta stood on the sidewalk, near the school, "Guess I shouldn't go in right away now, huh?"
"Nope, now you guys can socialize."
Lee rolled his eyes, "Great!"
Calis nodded, "you can say that again."
Kakarott groaned unhappily, "Get it off! How did you recover so FAST?!" He made a face, "And why YOU, why couldn't have someone else made a miraculous recovery, why YOU?!"
"My love for you kept me going, I had to see you again." She went into this sappy love stuff and other crap.
Kakarott growled, "Yuk, do you ever SHUT UP?!" He tried to sling her off.
He failed, "Oh, Goku..."
"Oh, cut it with the sappy shit!" He growled, was she so stupid she didn't realize WHAT he was saying?
"Oh...I missed you."
"GO AWAY!" He moaned, unhappily.
Krystal noticed a freakin trunk, driving completely crazily and heading right at Vegeta, "Vegeta!"
Vegeta jerked his head to see what she meant and saw the truck, with Yamcha driving in the window, he stepped back with his right leg, and blinked, leaving his left leg in front, "Uh..." He tried desperately to move, but freaked out when Bulma started yelling, and tried to move at the last second and the truck slammed into him, right when he was in a position, with his right left in an easy breaking position and sent him backwards.
Alex ran outside, to see what had happened, hearing Bulma's scream, the glanced at Vegeta, who's tail had come unraveled in mid-flight, "Huh?" Alex narrowed his eyes and watch Vegeta hit the ground.
Vegeta skidded him along the concrete, where he flipped, another car skidded to a stop, he landed flat on his face, and different car hit Yamcha from behind and got all up under the truck, "Ow," Vegeta muttered, with his face driven into the concrete.
"Vegeta!" Calis growled and ran over to him.
Krystal also ran over to him, "Are you okay?"
Alex's eyes widened, he then glared at Yamcha, "You stupid jock!" He growled, "You just hit caused complete chaos, and also hit a boy...who has...a tail." Alex said the last part quietly.
"I-I'm sorry..."
Vegeta growled and got up, "Stupid leg..." He stood up and wiped some blood off his busted lip.
Alex growled and KNOCKED Yamcha out of the car, "Dumb kid!" He kept a close eye on Vegeta, who stood up, "There it is again..." His tail was now in plain sight.
Vegeta growled, he put his tail under his shirt, trying not to move it, hoping no one saw, (It's not coiled, just straight up in his shirt.) "Uh..."
He didn't notice Alex, "Uh..." He looked around, he needed to divert the attention away from himself, so he could fix his leg without any suspicions.
He was being mobbed right now, he pushed a few people aside, looked back and ran in, very quickly, being followed more slowly, "Oh, right." Krystal glanced at Calis, who got the point, too.
Lee shrugged, "He better hurry, his followers are going to see him..." He muttered this under his breath.
Alex followed him quickly and saw him turn a corner, he stayed well hidden, "What now?"
The saiyan looked around, then his tail reappeared and he coiled it around his waist, he then glanced down at his leg, checked for people on last time, and placed his hands on his lower leg area, "And now..."
Alex continued to watch him, :what can he do about it?"
Vegeta jerked his hands, moaning slightly and his leg snapped back into place, "There, it'll hurt for awhile, but it'll have to do!"
Alex just stared at him, "He's not an Earthling...right, I can't ASSUME just yet, but, so far...no Earthlings...have..." He decided to see, he stepped out, "Well, hello there."
Vegeta's eyes widened, "M-Mr. Sanshreez, h-how long have you been there?"
"Just got here, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I-I'm fine, thank you."
Alex nodded, "Okay, well, you know, most people wouldn't have survived, much less be standing, you seem like a tough kid, though."
Vegeta nodded, "Heh...yeah..." The saiyan was petrified, he hadn't seen, right?
Alex nodded, "Okay..." He walked off.
Vegeta sighed in relief, 'He didn't notice, RIGHT?'
Right before he turned the corner, he said, "Oh, and you might want to get that tail of yours looked at."
Vegeta's heart sank, 'No!' He put his face in his hands, how could he have let this happen.
Alex stopped and felt utterly sorry for doing this to the poor kid, he glanced back to see what he was doing, Vegeta was shaking his head in anguish, looking utterly mad at himself, "Poor thing, I need to make him feel better..." He shrugged, "I might as well not mention it, pretend to think it's something different, meanwhile I'll investigate..."
Vegeta dropped his head, "How could I?"
Alex was going to say something, then decided against it, then numerous people mobbed the poor boy, who nearly freaked out, "Gah, popular, isn't he?"
Vegeta sighed, "Oh well, maybe it didn't give it away completely." He found no comfort in pitying himself for anything.
Enjeru looked at him, "Wow, you're really tough, aren't you? You shook that off quick!"
----------------------------
Honno sat quietly outside, "A tail, eh?" She had seen Vegeta's tail also, she also saw that Alex had seen, "It's weird..."
Kate was watching her, figuring Vegeta had plenty of helpers to help him recover, "Hm, it looks like someone might have noticed his tail, well that's not that big of a deal, we can come up with a clever excuse for it, I suppose."
Honno crossed her arms, "I knew he was weird, no boy is so polite and kind yet still strong and smart, no Earthling boy, that is!" Honno looked slightly curious, "Well, I guess he could be a really weird Earthling, I shouldn't jump to conclusions like this!"
Kate sighed in relief, "Everyone likes him, it's hard to make them think he's not safe to be around, but, actually...he is, he's plenty safe, but it's hard to make people think he's different, she might be a problem, since she reminds me of Krystal, but, I'm sick of worrying, that stupid dream was enough worrying for one session."
------------------------------
Calis knelt down next to Vegeta, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." He glanced at Calis and nodded, for some reason, he didn't feel nervous or anything about what had happened, probably because even his own mind drifted back to his peculiar dream, that everyone had seemed to have.
"Good!" Krystal put her hand on his shoulder.
Bulma tried her best to reach him, she managed to get next to him, "You okay?"
He nodded, "Fine."
Krystal looked him in the eyes, "It seems like everywhere he turns, someone's out to get him, how can anyone not enjoy being around him?" She smiled.
He smiled back at her, "Heh..."
