Chapter 27:

As Goku and Kefla were making their way out of the chamber they were quickly intercepted by Dende and Mr. Popo. Both of whom looked very worried.

"Goku, thank goodness you're finally out!", Dende exclaimed as he came up to the Saiyan.

Confused, Goku questioned them on what was going on.

Mr. Popo explained to both him and Kefla that Vegeta had recently been up here, demanding to see Goku, saying that it was very important and that it was something which could not be ignored.

"Vegeta...", Goku trailed off.

That's when it hit him. Everything up till the point where her and Kefla had entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber came rushing back. Before they went in, Goku had Vegeta go seek out Beerus and Whis, using the Instant Transmission technique he had been taught a little beforehand by Goku himself in order to get there.

If Vegeta was seeking him out to discuss what Goku had sent him there to do, then that meant only one possibility.

Goku growled, his frustration was starting to grow the more he considered this and what could very well be the reality that he and the others would face if it turned out to be true.

The feeling of his hand being squeezed tore Goku away from his mind and thoughts to Kefla, who looked concerned.

"Are you all right?", she asked him.

Goku shook his head, "no, I fear something very bad is going to happen, and if what I believe is going to happen, then it will be very soon.

Kefla didn't talk right away after he finished speaking. She appeared to be taking his words in, and Goku could feel an unnatural swirl of her emotions. It became apparent to Goku that she was also starting to remember the cause that drove them to use the chamber in the first place. And that's when some other thoughts crossed Goku's mind...

He squeezed Kefla's hand reassuringly, "there is a possibility that I may be wrong. It all depends on what Vegeta has to tell us."

Her eyes had drifted once in thought, but as she looked back up and into Goku's eyes, Kefla slowly nodded, "okay."

Goku returned her nod before abruptly turning his head back to face Dende and Mr. Popo. There had been a change in their sense that when he picked up, Goku felt more than a little awkward.

Since the other two had no idea what has transpired between him and Kefla over the past while, it definitely seemed strange for them to see him acting this way with someone that was not his wife. Granted, Goku never showed that much of what he was displaying now with Kefla, but that didn't really take away from the point all that much.

Thankfully however, neither Dende or Mr. Popo decided to question either of the two Saiyans about it. They were more occupied with what could possibly be another danger to the Earth.

"Do you have any idea what Vegeta wants to speak with you about?", Mr. Popo asked.

"Yeah, is it serious?", Dende seconded, "he wouldn't elaborate with us. He just wanted to talk straight with you only. That seems to me like typical behavior for him, but something doesn't seem right."

Goku was serious, but he had to shrug his shoulders when saying, "there could be something at play going on, I'm not entirely sure. It's just a hunch we are following; nothing to sound the alarm for yet. I'll let you know if it's for real I promise."

Trusting Goku's judgement, Dende and Mr. Popo agreed and with that he and Kefla were free to leave Lookout and set course for the destination they would be meeting Vegeta at.

"There you are!", Vegeta scowled as Goku and Kefla landed in front of him, "took you long enough."

"It's not our fault!," Kefla returned his scowl with a heated glare, "you could have met us back there, but instead you leave us the task of finding you in order to talk."

Anger flaring, Vegeta stood up from the tip of the mountain he had been sitting on and marched up to Kefla.

"Hey!", Goku barged in before the two could go at it, "this is not the time nor the place for this."

With hard reluctance, both of them calmed down a pace, finishing with a huffed, "fine!"

Goku sighed and looked at Vegeta, "okay, so tell us what happened."

Vegeta frowned, "it looks like were handling this one on our own."

Both Goku and Kefla were shocked, "what!"

Vegeta clenched a fist, "yes, it seems like they want to enforce their laziness and leave important matter such as this to us mortals."

Goku shook his head baffled, "but why? the last time we dealt with the guy, Beerus was all for taking care of the issue."

Vegeta eyes moved to Kefla for a moment before returning to Goku, "it wouldn't make sense to say that they would know and that they're just choosing to ignore something like this. No, they do really believe that that "demon" is long gone.

This was just becoming more unbelievable by the second and Goku felt his own anger begin to build within him. How, how could Beerus and Whis possibly do this to them.

Unless...

Goku looked back at Vegeta and found out by the other's expression a similar line of thinking, "can you...?"

Vegeta shook his head, "not a trace."

"Do you think he was killed?", Kefla asked the two. She out of all them for the most part would have expected something. However, just like Goku and Vegeta she couldn't get anything. Not even in her own dreams which for the most part, had been clear.

"That is a possibility," Vegeta considered, "however, someone very powerful must have been able to pull that feat off, and for right now I don't believe there is anyone who has that capability."

Goku nodded in agreement, "I don't think so either, something very dark is happening here and-"

Vegeta cut him off by finishing the statement for him, "there could only be one puppet master pulling the strings to all this."

Frieza's flagship,

"Our guest has finally settled down my lord," the soldier spoke from his knelt position.

Frieza nodded, "good, keep me informed on his condition."

"Yes my lord," the soldier made his his way out of the room, once again leaving Frieza alone to gloat over the entire situation.

He hadn't needed to be told that his guest was calmed down for the moment, he had already known.

Frieza chuckled, how ridiculous it must be for his enemies to believe that he had not covered for every aspect of his plan.

No, he wasn't going to fail this time. He would have his ultimate revenge.

And this time, no one would be able to stop him.
