----------

I found help for my writers block. While not a cure, it helps me. I listen to midis from "Fist of the North Star" and DB/Z/GT.

----------

-Goten-

I immediately dropped to the ground and started my search. "This isn't good." I exclaimed searching as fast but as well as I could.

As I was about to give up and go to my house to search for senzu beans I looked up to find a saber toothed cat looking directly at me merely inches away. At first I didn't notice it, but between it's teeth was a senzu bean.

"Nice kitty." I purred softly, "Give Goten the senzu bean." I outstretched my hand slowly.

Of course that cat wouldn't listen to me and started to run off. I wasn't in any mood for this though and before he could get away I had a firm grip on his tail.

Unfortunately that didn't stop him and he kept running.

I wasn't about to let my best friend die. So I kept my grip on the tail and dug my feet into the ground trying to stop him. As luck would have it, I underestimated his strength. The result was me "surfing" across the forest.

"Just stop and give me the senzu!" I cried as I was dragged through the forest via the kitty express.

-Bulma-

I climbed down from the tree and put the last dragon ball on the ground with the others. For a moment my mind went blank on how to raise the dragon. Then as if my mind had chipped away the rust I raised my arms, "Arise Dragon!" I yelled.

The dragon balls began to glow, and then the dragon made his flashy appearance.

"Okay!" I yelled a bit confident, "Let's make this quick, I'm only using one wish!"

I thought I saw the dragon sweat drop. "Well?" he asked.

"I wish that Vegeta…er…Prince Vegeta be brought back from the afterlife." I added the Prince on an after thought, you could never be sure how many Vegetas were up there.

"I cannot grant that wish." The dragon said, "Prince Vegeta isn't in the afterlife."

I mentally slapped myself, I'd completely forgotten what Goku had told me. "Then I wish that he be brought to this spot."

The dragon didn't reply for sometime. Then his eyes glowed a deep red. I front of him there was a gold shimmer. The shimmer took on arms, legs, and that crazy hair. The gold faded and in it's place was Vegeta.

"Your wish has been granted." Then the dragon exited.

Vegeta looked slightly dazed, and he kept rubbing his eyes even though it wasn't that bright a day. "B…Bulma?" he asked.

I realized that there were tears in my eyes. I didn't care, I ran over to him and threw myself in his arms.

"What am I doing here?" Vegeta asked.

"I wished you back."

"But I was in the Dead Zone."

My eyes bugged out, and my mouth dropped open. "That must've been the reason the dragon was having trouble with the wish."

"Ye…" he was about to agree, but this time it was his turn to look surprised.

"What?" I asked.

"There's a battle…" he said.

"Yeah."

"But that's not the problem." He looked very troubled. "Kakarot's brats are fighting, and green bean is too. Our brat is in the battle…" he trailed off.

I grabbed his shoulders and tried to shake some sense into, "Trunks? What happened to Trunks? I swear, if he's." Vegeta silenced me my placing a hand over my mouth.

"Shhh." He whispered. "Kakarot isn't fighting."

I tried to talk but his hand was still over my mouth. I simple tapped him on the shoulder. He looked at me then at his hand then back at me and slowly removed it.

"That's probably because Goku's up in heaven." I explained.

"Well what the hell is Kakarot doing up there?" he asked.

"He was TRYING to get you out of hell." I replied calmly.

"Well I got myself out…" he looked back at me, "And got stuck in the Dead Zone."

I smiled.

Suddenly his attention turned back towards the battle. "Bulma, I've got to go, they really need me."

I nodded my head in approval. Before I could say anything he could hear he was already gone. "Be careful." I whispered.

-Goku-

"I'd really like to talk to Enma-Sama now." I pleaded with the guy that had been showing me around.

"No, I have orders from Croo to keep you busy until he kills…" his voice trailed off.

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "What did you say?" I asked trying to look as menacing as possible.

"Nothing!" he squeaked.

"Oh yes you did! And you know what, I think blocking my telepathic messages wasn't Enma-Sama's idea."

The guy gulped.

I wasn't going to wait around much longer, "That does it!"

I dragged the little blue, protesting, devil to Enma-Sama.

"Goku." Enma-Sama said cheerfully, "We've located Vegeta, he managed to make it back to earth somehow."

I smiled. "That's nice, but I have to report this." I said shaking the blue guy.

Enma-Sama looked closer at the little blue 'person' "Klop? Is that you?"

Klop gave a little squeal of terror.

Enma-Sama gave a big sigh, "What he do?"

"Somehow he blocked my telepathy, and was trying to stall me so that a friend of his could finish off the warriors of earth." I set Klop down, "So if you'll excuse me, I have to get going."

I pressed two fingers to my forehead and concentrated on finding Vegeta's chi and smiled. ~I think I'll give him a little surprise.~

-Vegeta-

I nearly had a heart attack seeing Kakarot appear in front of me. "You idiot!" I cried.

He smiled.

I was about to yell all sorts of curses at him but the two of us arrived at the battle field at that moment. What met our eyes shocked the two of us. Me most of all, because HE was beating the tar out of Piccolo.

"Croo…" I muttered with a utter contempt in my voice.

Kakarot's younger brat had disappeared and was no longer around, while Kakarot's oldest sat cradling my own brat in his arms.

The two of them nearly made me go over the edge. I know I'm not supposed to show feelings toward others, but imagining what the two of them had been through made my rage grow.

Kakarot's brat, Gohan didn't have a shirt on anymore, I'm guessing it had been torn to shreds. On his back were multiple wounds still bleeding. Some of them looked pretty deep and painful. He only had one pant leg remaining, the other one looked like it was made for a pair of shorts. His legs also had deep gashes and the brat was scratched nearly everywhere his skin showed. Kakarot's brat was bleeding from a gash on his forehead, and a bit of blood trickled from his mouth, on top of that it looked like he might get a black eye soon.

I couldn't see my own son very well because of the way Gohan was sheltering him. I could tell however that his puple hair had red spots on it. I hoped it was Gohan's.

I think Kakarot was feeling the way I was at that moment because I felt his aura flicker. Croo was definitely dead.

As I was about to land and check on my son, there was a sudden streak of light, which after it stopped I realized was Goten. Exactly what was going on?

-Goten-

I'd finally gotten the senzu away from that stupid cat without it eating it. When I landed though I'd found Gohan in a state nearly as bad as Trunks's. I softly shook my brother's shoulder, he winced.

"Gohan?" I asked softly.

He opened his eyes slightly. I could see that they were glazed with pain.

"I managed to find a senzu." I said.

"Give it to Trunks." He replied.

"But you need a senzu too." I pointed out.

"Yeah, well, I don't think Piccolo would mind one right about now either."

"Can't I break it into thirds?" I asked.

"A third isn't going to help Trunks."

"B…But I can't just ignore the fact that your in pain too!" I cried.

Gohan clasped a hand onto my shoulder and looked me in the eyes. "Give it to Trunks, I'll manage." He said firmly.

"You." I said, "I can't." I handed over the senzu bean.

He of course immediately gave it to Trunks.

"Why do you have to ignore your own pain?" I asked in anguish. "What if you die?"

"Then it will be my fault and not yours." He said. "Goten, he's your best friend..."

Trunks stirred in Gohan's lap. His wounds began to heal. When he opened his eyes again they were bright and shining. At least he was alright.

-Goku-

I decided to let Vegeta take his emotions out on Croo.

Just as this Croo fellow was about to connect a powerful blow to Piccolo Vegeta shot a Final Flash that barely missed him.

Croo looked up to see Vegeta. He smirked, "Well, if it isn't Vegeta."

Vegeta snarled, "What are you doing here?"

"What else?" Croo asked, "I'm gathering energy."

"Oh yeah, take this!" Vegeta yelled throwing a punch towards Croo's face.

Croo caught it with ease. "Ha. I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you."

Vegeta's eyes widened in shock. "How…Where did you get all that power?"

"Would you believe him?" Croo asked pointing towards Gohan.

Vegeta growled at Croo before bringing his knee up to the villain's face and connecting sharply. This brought a trickle of turquoise blood out of Croo's mouth. "Interesting blood color." Vegeta sneered throwing an elbow into the monster's stomach.

Croo, taken aback by the sudden burst of power backed up. He took quite a beating until Vegeta suddenly stopped and fell to his knees gasping for air.

"I see my disease still effects you." Croo snickered.

"W…what?" Vegeta stammered.

Of course I wasn't going to let Vegeta just sit there helplessly, so before Croo could hit him with some sort of counterattack I got between Croo and Vegeta.

"I mean that I needed more power, I wasn't going to just wait around for the next powerful villain to come along, so I killed the only earth warrior that would go to hell, you."

"How…How did you kill me if you were in hell?" Vegeta stammered.

"I had enough power to send smaller objects through to earth, I had a friend of mine build a small, remote control operated, robot. It contained a minute amount of the virus, the only reason it didn't affect you right away is that it was such a small dose.

"But in the 24 hours that I was back on earth I was fine!" Vegeta protested.

"The effects of heaven and hell could have caused it to be dormant, but the fact that you didn't pass through exit the afterlife normally could mean that it's effects took up where they left off.

Vegeta cringed in pain. "Then I'm dying again…" he whispered.
