Chapter 20:
Capsule Corp
"That's impossible!", Vegeta paced around the room in disbelief.
Goku shook his head, "I know how hard it is for you to believe, but Vegeta I swear to you this is for real."
Vegeta sighed and placed a hand over his face, "Kakarot we saw him erased before our very eyes. There is no possible way he could have come back from that."
Goku sighed as well and stood up from his chair. All the emotions he was feeling right now made it difficult to keep still.
"I know what we saw", Goku agreed while thinking back to that moment, "but-"
Vegeta cut him off sharply, "and what evidence do you have to prove this?"
For the first time in quite a while, Vegeta glanced over at Kefla, "you know Kakarot, as time goes by I am beginning to find it rather difficult to trust you."
Having heard enough from him, Kefla stood up. Throughout this secret meeting between the three, she had remained silent but the more she listened to Vegeta doubt and grip it drove her a little over the edge.
"He's not lying to you idiot!", Kefla pointed a finger at Vegeta in emphasis. "I was nearly killed by this guy. If you have any sense you trust the one you known for years."
Vegeta matched her heated glare with his own. "Every acquaintance relationship has its faults as you can see here," Vegeta explained.
He turned his back to Kefla and Goku, "oh and for your information, you are just apart of Kakarot's bucket list for reasons not to believe him."
Kefla growled and took a step towards him.
However she was stopped when a hand appeared in front of her.
Kefla looked up at Goku who was shaking his head at her.
"Its not worth it," he told her. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."
Kefla clenched her teeth, but nodded. Already this Vegeta had proven himself to be a real stubborn pain in the ass. However she knew Goku was right and engaging in conflict would not help them in these kinds of matters.
"Vegeta," Goku explained, "I'm sorry for not clearing everything out to you this past week. But please realize that it wasn't intentional. You know me, I would never lie to you about something like this."
Vegeta frowned and turned to look at Goku, studying him.
Kefla watched back and forth as the two Saiyans stared at each and to her it seemed like time was stopping.
Vegeta sighed, "okay, I believe you. What should we do?"
Goku sighed in relief, "thanks best buddy."
Vegeta glared at him, "don't call me that."
Goku smiled sheepishly, "sorry."
When he was back to business, Goku explained what he had in mind.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "that seems pretty simple. Especially for you Kakarot."
Goku crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, "I know, but I don't care anymore. It was one thing when we had to face him in your son's timeline. It would be a whole new case of worms being opened if we had to face him here. Only much worse."
Vegeta put a finger to his chin in thought, "that does sound like a good option. It would save us the pain and effort."
He was about to say something else, but both his attention and Goku's were brought to a sharp hiss.
Both male Saiyans turned their heads to stare at Kefla.
She was now sitting in her chair again. Though this time she was holding her head in both hands.
"Kefla!", Goku cried while rushing to her side.
"What's going on!?", Vegeta demanded.
Goku ignored him and bent down on one knee so that he would be eye to eye Kefla.
He placed a hand on her shoulder, "Kefla, is it him?"
Through the pain Kefla nodded, "yes!"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow, "what?"
Kefla cut him off before he could say anything more, "I can't see him fully, but I can hear him speaking to me."
"What is he saying," Goku begged, "please Kefla tell me."
Kefla clenched her teeth, every part of her mind felt like it was being smashed.
Still, she managed to open her mouth and bite out words.
"He, telling to me to warn you Goku," Kefla explained, "he saying that you better be ready. It won't be long before he escapes his chains and when he does he will come for you."
It was at that moment that Kefla gasped and feel back into her chair. Whatever hold this person had on her was separated and for now at least she was free.
Goku rubbed her shoulder, "take it easy for a bit okay?"
Kefla nodded and he stood up.
Expression hardening, Goku turned to Vegeta with his fist clenched.
"I know you said it before, but after that do you truly believe me now?," Goku asked.
Vegeta looked at Kefla recovering in her seat back to Goku, "it's still a lot to take in. However yes, I do believe you."
Goku's jaw clenched, "I want to end this Vegeta. That bastard won't come near our planet and the ones we love."
Vegeta nodded, "I agree with you 100%, however there is a problem."
"What is it?", Goku asked his fellow Saiyan.
Vegeta inclined his head to Kefla, "the last bit of what she just said got to me. He is apparently locked away but promises to be free soon."
Goku did not understand where he was going with this, "yeah so?"
Vegeta sighed a little in irritation, "think with me for a second Kakarot. If he is alive then in some way he is being held captive."
Placing his hands on the back of his chair Vegeta continued, "If there is anyone capable of holding this one then it would be Frieza."
Goku was shocked, "Frieza?"
Vegeta nodded, "that stinking Lizard is the only being I know who would be capable of accomplish this. It all makes sense. To be honest with you Kakarot I wasn't being very truthful either. When we were still at the Tournament of Power Frieza and I had a little chat. I didn't get much out of him but after I gave him my piece I could tell he was coming up with something only an insane tyrant like him could come up with."
Goku took this all in, "I should have killed him."
"And I should have too," Vegeta admitted in agreement. "But lets now dwell on the past now, lets take care of this before it goes where we fear."
Goku nodded, "okay."
Vegeta nodded to, "then let's get going."
Goku was about to get Kefla but when he looked at her a sudden realization hit him.
"Wait", Goku took his hand away from his head.
Vegeta asked him what was wrong and Goku quickly explained.
"I can't let them find out her Vegeta, it will all get traced back," Goku told him.
Vegeta was stunned, "you mean to tell me that you deliberately went behind their backs. Kakarot how could you do something like that!?"
Goku sighed, "I know, but it was something I had to do."
He glanced at Kefla again, "I made a promise."
Vegeta sighed and shook his head, "if it wasn't for how serious this was then I would just leave you to handle it. But...tell me what to do."
"Thank you Vegeta," Goku said gratefully.
It was decided that Goku would finally teach his best buddy one of his greatest abilities. And through doing so he would go to Whis and Beerus where then he would ask them for a way of keeping tabs on Frieza.
"When are you going to teach me that?", Kefla asked him after Vegeta disappeared.
Goku grinned at how eager she was, "I will, but not now. Right now you and I are going on a little trip."
Kefla eyed him suspiciously, "do I get to know where we're going?"
Goku smirked and told her to grab on.
"I don't like to ruin surprises."
