Chapter 21: The Rebellion Begins
*Vegeta*
The last thing Vegeta remembered was the blackness that took a hold of him during his meeting with Frieza. Suddenly he heard a loud beeping and he felt as though water was draining around him. He opened his eyes and noticed he was floating in a tank; he pulled the mask from his mouth and waited for the door to open. Once it opened Vegeta stepped out, there was one of Frieza's doctors waiting to greet him. "Hello Prince Vegeta," The Doctor said. Vegeta grunted at him and pulled his clothes on and armor over his head. "How long was I out this time?" Vegeta asked. "Only three days, Frieza requested your presence as soon as you wake," The Doctor answered.
Vegeta's eyes turned into slits, "Did he say why?" "He said he had a mission for you," The Doctor said, going back to his work. "Very well," Vegeta said and he left the room. Vegeta walked down the long curved hall way, soldiers dodging even his glare. He reached the doors to Frieza's Throne Room and pushed open the doors without knocking. "My my, what temper my sweet Prince," Frieza said without turning around from his table where he was pouring a glass of wine. "What's the mission?" Vegeta said trying to get to the point. "I need you to retrieve someone for me," Frieza said.
Vegeta looked at him skeptically, "Who is it and why am I picking him up." "It's your friend Kakarot; I believe he is the one who killed half my men in search of you," Frieza said handing Vegeta some wine. "You can order someone else to do it; I will not bring Kakarot in for you to kill him," Vegeta told Frieza. "You don't have the say in the matter, you WILL bring him here or you will take his punishment!" Frieza said poking Vegeta in the chest. "Fine," Vegeta agreed, dropped the wine glass on the floor and stormed out of the room, 'This actually works in my favor; I don't have to figure out a way to sneak Kakarot into the ship now.' He stepped out of Frieza's ship and blasted towards Bardock's home.
*Bulma*
Once she woke up for the second time, she looked around the room she was in. It was quaint; the walls were real wood paneling, but not a color of wood that she had ever seen before. It was darker mahogany; the lighting was dim but almost crystal like. 'Where am I?' she wondered as she got out of the bed she was in. Her body felt heavy and her legs were burning. She opened up the bedroom door and looked down the hall. She heard voices from around the corner so she followed them. As she stepped into the room everyone stopped talking and Gine was standing in front of her, "How are you feeling? You should sit down." "I am fine Gine. Really," Bulma said and smiled. Bardock stepped up next to Gine, "We just want to make sure that you and the heir are okay," he said and put his arm around his wife. "I know, but I am fine, just a little hungry is all," Bulma replied.
Gine smiled and walked towards the kitchen, Bulma following. "Did…Did the doctor say that I can do this?" Bulma asked before she took a sip of a drink that smelled like tea. "Yes, he said that since Saiyan babies are strong, you may be uncomfortable. But you are strong. I am sure you can handle it," Gine said and plated some food for Bulma. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Bulma heard Kakarot get up and answer, she snapped her head up when she heard Vegeta's voice. She ran into the living room, and he was almost unrecognizable, he looked tired and there was a dark aura about him. Vegeta looked up and saw his mate, and then he turned back to Kakarot. "You must come with me," Vegeta said and Gine looked at him with concern.
"What is this about Vegeta?" Gine asked. "Frieza sent me to get Kakarot; it is no concern of yours," Vegeta said, brushing off Gine. Gine looked at him in shock, she was about to say something but she was interrupted. "Vegeta! It is her concern! Kakarot is her son!" Chi-chi yelled at Vegeta. "Pipe down woman!" Vegeta yelled back. "How dare you! You don't tell me to pipe down! What if it were your son?" "THEN I WOULD STICK TO THE PLAN!" Vegeta yelled having enough. Bulma calmly walked up to Vegeta, "Hey, can you come outside real quick?" she asked him trying to keep it together. She was happy to see him, but she was also nervous. He simply nodded and stepped outside.
Bulma grabbed his arm to get him to stop walking, "Vegeta…" Vegeta stopped and sighed, "I just need to stick to the plan right now." "I can feel your energy Vegeta; you have every right to be mad. But don't take it out on your friends," Bulma said, Vegeta turned and looked at Bulma, his stare was cold, "What did you say?" Bulma stepped forward and buried her head into Vegeta's neck and began to cry. "I know what happened Vegeta, I am so sorry." Vegeta put his hand on the back for Bulmas head. "Fucking bond," he choked out. Bulma pulled her head out of Vegeta's neck and looked into his eyes. She saw a tear fall from the corner of his eye, and she caught it.
More tears welled up in her eyes and she kissed him passionately. "Vegeta, I love you," Bulma said as she pulled away. "I know," was all Vegeta responded with and she smiled. "Go get Kakarot, you have a plan to stick to," she said as she pushed Vegeta towards the door. "I will defeat Frieza," Vegeta said with a smirk on his face. "I know you will," Bulma smiled back. Vegeta walked inside and Kakarot was standing by the door. "Kakarot, are you ready?" Vegeta said calmly. Kakarot nodded, he turned to Chi-chi and kissed her, he grabbed her right hand that was now covered in bandages and kissed it gently. "I promise you, I will be back," Kakarot said, tears fell from Chi-chi's eyes and she nodded. "If you don't, you don't get dessert," she said, trying to hide her cry with a giggle. Kakarot turned and said his goodbyes to his family, and he and Vegeta flew towards Frieza's ship.
*Frieza's Ship*
Vegeta and Kakarot had landed next to the large ship, and to add some show Vegeta placed the electric cuffs on Kakarot. "Don't pull your wrists apart," Vegeta warned and Kakarot nodded. Vegeta lead him down the hall and into Frieza's Throne Room. "That didn't take as long as I had expected, well done Vegeta," Frieza said. Vegeta bowed his head in return, "Kakarot knows he is to follow my orders." "If that's the case, I should have made you my General a long time ago," Frieza said with a smile. Kakarot cleared his throat, "Why am I here Lord Frieza?" he asked. Frieza's smile turned into a frown, "You are responsible for the death of half my fleet, that is treason, and you need punishment." "I only attacked because they attacked us. I see no wrong doing in self-defense," Kakarot boldly stated.
"You are the son of Bardock, is that correct?" Frieza asked. "Y-yes, why does that matter?" Kakarot asked. "I need to know who I need to punish for not teaching you manners! Vegeta, I want you to remove his cuffs and take him below, I will be there shortly," Frieza ordered. Vegeta turned to Kakarot and nodded. Kakarot closed his eyes and began to concentrate his power. He opened his mind and searched for Chi-chi's ki, once he found it he tapped into her mind, "Chi-chi, warn the others that it is time." Vegeta took the cuffs off of Kakarot, and turned towards Frieza. "I decline that order," Vegeta said. Frieza's face was priceless, "You what? Do I need to remind you who is in charge here?" Frieza asked standing up. "I think you do," Vegeta said with a dark look and he and Kakarot both took fighting stances.
*Chi-chi*
Chi-chi was sitting next to the fire that was growing in the fireplace, she couldn't get the feeling out of her stomach that something awful was going to happen. She looked down to her hand and took the wrappings off of it. She had only been mated to Kakarot for almost 48 hours now, and this was not the way she pictured her honeymoon. She sighed and suddenly it felt like someone was in her head. "Chi-chi, warn the others that it is time," she heard Kakarot's voice. Chi-chi shot up out of her chair and ran into the kitchen. "Bardock! I just got word from Kakarot! It's time!" Chi-chi said frantic. Bardock got a blood thirsty look on his face. "Let's go kill us some henchmen."
*Frieza's Ship*
Frieza began to laugh at the two Saiyans. "Do you really think that you two monkeys can defeat me?" "I don't think Lord Frieza, I know," Vegeta responded. "Well then, before we begin this funeral, let me show you something," Frieza said as he lifted a drape off of what Vegeta thought was some bizarre decoration. Once Vegeta and Kakarot got a good look at what Frieza had uncovered, both their jaws dropped, along with their fighting stances. "F-father?" Vegeta said almost losing his cool. "Don't let him get to you Vegeta. He wants you to lose your temper. Stay calm," Kakarot said. Vegeta walked up to Frieza's throne and picked up his father's head. "You will pay for this," Vegeta said through his teeth. "Oh is that so?" Frieza asked sarcastically.
Frieza glared at the two Saiyans haughtily as Vegeta stared at his father's severed head. "This is the fate of all that dare defy me, Vegeta," Frieza said, smiling. The ship then began to rumble as it left Planet Vegeta's atmosphere. Frieza then tapped a key on his throne, "Head for the nearest inhabitable planet," he ordered. Frieza then got off his throne, and began walking a circle around Vegeta, "Do you really think that you are some great hero, come to destroy the evil warlord, Vegeta?" Vegeta glared pure hatred at Frieza then touched his forehead to that of his father, "Watch me Father, I will avenge you." Vegeta then placed the head into the corner where it could watch.
Vegeta's ki flared out all around him as he roared out loud and strong, making the ship rumble as though it was going through an asteroid field. Frieza's own ki flared as well as he yelled out, "This rebellion is over!" Frieza flew right at Vegeta going for a punch. Vegeta quickly caught Frieza's punch, then he caught Frieza's other fist. Vegeta smiled at his former tormentor, "This rebellion has only begun, and this is when I finally have my revenge!" Vegeta said in a dark tone and then disappeared and reappeared behind Frieza and backhanded him, sending him slamming into the wall. Vegeta then slammed his shoulder into Frieza's back, cracking it and making the tyrant scream out in pain.
Frieza then wrapped his tail around Vegeta's neck and before Vegeta could free himself Frieza tossed him off him. Vegeta wasn't through; he quickly recovered and blasted a red ki blast into Frieza's face, then followed up with an axe kick that sent him to the floor. Frieza spun around, trying to trip him up, but Vegeta nimbly dodged his kick and then grabbed Frieza's tail and used it to swing Frieza around and slam him into the ground again. "HAHAHAHAH! Is this all you got Frieza!?" Vegeta bellowed at him. "I'm frankly disappointed, though I don't know whether I'm more disappointed in you; or me for not being able to do this sooner!" Kakarot looked on in amazement, "I can't believe it! Vegeta is making Frieza look like a chump!"
*Planet Vegeta*
Bardock had gathered all of the Saiyans that would listen to him about freeing the Saiyan race from Frieza and the gory fight had begun. Chi-chi, Bulma, and Gine watched the battle raging around them. Gine turned to the two Earthlings and said, "Are you sure you want to participate in this? This is war, kill or be killed, and I won't be able to protect you." Bulma looked at her with steel in her eyes as she said, "My husband is fighting, how could I do any less than him?" "Right, you trained us Gine, we can handle ourselves just fine," Chi-chi said with a similar look in her eyes. Gine looked at her two students and smiled, "Alright girls, here's one more lesson, to fly you need to concentrate on using your ki to push against the ground, and then you need to keep your body straight and focus on where you want to go. I can't tell you anymore." With that Gine's ki flared out and she flew off into the battle.
Chi-chi and Bulma concentrated hard, and were soon floating over the ground. "Alright Bulma, you ready?" Chi-chi asked. "Ready," Bulma replied as their auras flowed around them. The two Earthlings flew into battle. Bardock blasted away two of Frieza's soldiers and then was dog piled by ten more. "Will you bastards, GET OFF!" Bardock roared out as his ki blasted them all off of him. He then grabbed one unlucky soldier and used him as a club to send the other nine flying off into the distance before tossing the broken body away. Raditz laughed as he dodged the attacks of three soldiers at once. He then caught the punches of two of them and blocked the third one's kick with his knee. He then blasted the first two away with ki blasts to their heads, and kicked the third one on his chin so hard his neck snapped.
The other Saiyans all cheered at the sight of their General and his son's prowess. "SAIYANS! SHOW THEM WHO WE ARE!" Bardock yelled, and the other Saiyans flew into another wave of Frieza's soldiers. Gine, Chi-chi, and Bulma were right in the thick of things alongside them. Gine dodged a ki blast and elbowed her attacker in his head, then spun around and kicked another soldier away, and blasted a third with ki that was giving Fasha trouble. "Thanks Gine," Fasha said, "You wanna do our combo together?" Gine nodded, "Alright!" Gine held Fasha's right hand with her left and the two Saiyan women spun around into a tornado, sending ki blasts everywhere, slaying scores of soldiers or distracting others long enough for other Saiyans to finish them off.
*Frieza's Ship*
Frieza roared out, "ENOUGH!" and blasted Vegeta's face with white ki, making him let go as he was temporarily blinded. Frieza got up and saw that Vegeta had made him bleed! "Don't get too cocky, Vegeta, this is only the first form that I am capable of, it's power pales in comparison to my other form!" Vegeta smirked at this, "Go ahead then, show me this second form, I'll only beat you again, just like I did Zarbon." Frieza chuckled at this, "Oh Vegeta, your pride will be your undoing." Frieza started to glow all throughout his body, and his armor exploded off of him. Frieza then clenched his fists and yelled out. "Whoa! I can feel his power growing like a crazy!" Kakarot said.
They watched in horror as Frieza's body exploded, growing in size along with power. His legs were first, and then his arms, then his torso. "He's…so big," Kakarot gasped. 'He's even bigger than Zarbon,' Vegeta thought as Frieza's horns grew and stuck up, and at last his head exploded into the right size to fit his body. Frieza smirked at them and crossed his arms. "I admit, that it was indeed a worthy effort, making me change into my second form like this," Frieza said, his voice was deeper and resonated power, "But this is the end of your little farce. I'll have you know that in this form, my power level is over one million!" "WHAT!?" Vegeta and Kakarot yelled at once. Frieza chuckled at this, "Oh yes, this will be a very quick fight. And after I pound you monkeys into pulp, I'll enjoy making you relive the experience for the rest of your excruciatingly long and painful lives."
Frieza then flew straight at Vegeta head first. Vegeta barely caught Frieza's horns before they gored him. Frieza tossed his head like a raging bull and slammed Vegeta into the wall behind him, sending him flying through the wall and three rooms. Frieza's soldiers scrambled to get out of their master's way as Frieza flew after Vegeta. Vegeta barely got up in time to avoid Frieza's stomp then jumped up and kicked his head hard enough to send him into another room. Vegeta then flew after Frieza and slammed his elbow into his stomach, shocking the tyrant with his power. Frieza recovered quickly and grabbed Vegeta then slammed him headfirst through the floor into the one below. Frieza's troops in the lower hull ran for their lives as Vegeta got up and his ki flared. Kakarot flew after them, ready to jump in whenever he was needed.
Vegeta wiped the blood off his forehead and roared, his ki flared out even more as he blasted Frieza in his face, stopping his charge dead. Vegeta then quickly flew forward and grabbed Frieza by his horns and kneed him in his face hard enough to break his nose, then flipped around and slammed Frieza into the floor. Vegeta quickly flew up a little and blasted a rain of ki at Frieza. When the smoke cleared Frieza was bruised and bleeding in several places and Vegeta smirked. The navigator of the ship announced, "Now entering the atmosphere of planet Nallee." Frieza glared at Vegeta, "You miserable punk. It would seem that I've underestimated you." Frieza then flew at him with more speed than Vegeta was prepared for and grabbed his face, and grabbed Kakarot's head as well.
"OPEN THE AIR LOCK NOW!" Frieza yelled. The air lock opened and Frieza threw the two Saiyans through it, right into the open air of a flat grass filled plain. Vegeta and Kakarot flew head on into the ground below, and left a ten foot wide crater on impact. Kakarot got up and asked, "Are you okay Vegeta?" Vegeta gasped in pain as he sat up, 'That was more painful than I thought it would be.' Frieza floated down in front of them and put his hands on his hips. The two Saiyans jumped up and Vegeta smirked at Frieza, "Was that your best shot Frieza? I barely felt a thing." "You damn Saiyans are becoming a nuisance! I never thought once in my life that any of you would force me to use my third form!"
