Friendship
Found (Chapter
2)
Bulma reached home in record time, although it meant going cross-country and out running half the cops in the country. She burst into Capsule Corp, with Chichi right behind her. Surprisingly Chichi hadn't said anything so far, Bulma had a feeling that she was in shock, and she wasn't relishing the thought of how Chichi was going to react when she got out of shock.
Vegeta was still staring at the phone when Bulma ran in. Thousands of possible ways to get the boys back had run through his head but none had been workable. He turned to face his mate, hoping that she would have a plan, he barely registered the fact that Chichi was there.
"Vegeta," Bulma cried as soon as she spotted him, the race home, as hectic as it had been, had given her time to figure out what to do. First, she needed to give Vegeta something to do and she hoped that her first plan would work.
"Vegeta, I need you to go find Goku. Maybe he can track the kids chi and teleport them back." Vegeta nodded, like as flash he was out the door, racing towards the chi of Goku and Piccolo. Meanwhile, Bulma was running for the lab, if Goku couldn't get them back maybe she could. There was no way that she was going to lose her son.
"Ohh, now that's a meal," Goten moaned. Empty ice cream containers, chocolate bar wrappers and piles of other junk food lay scattered around the kitchen. The two boys sat at a large table, both were slouched down in their chairs, hands over their full bellies.
"You've got that right," Trunks replied, after a search of the ship, which included 4 bedrooms, a gravity room and a large bathroom, they had found the kitchen. It had two large fridges, a huge walk-in freezer and a pantry the size of Goten's room. And every single one of them contained food, every type of food the kids had ever heard of.
"Your mom sure can pack," Goten said, a huge grin on his face. His mom never let him pig out on junk food, maybe this trip wouldn't be so bad after all. He was even getting along with Trunks, now that he had time to actually get to know him, he didn't seem that bad.
Trunks leaned back, and let out a yawn. "You know after that meal, I'm kind of tired." Goten also yawned and nodded, agreeing with Trunks.
"How about we get some sleep and then we can figure out how to get home." Trunks said, while climbing out of his seat.
"Sounds good to me," Goten replied as he also climbed out of his seat. Trunks and Goten headed towards the door leading to the rooms, both yawning loudly.
However, while the boys slept the ship continued moving, no real destination in mind, still moving forward since it had not been told to stop, heading deeper into space.
Goku ducked as Piccolo swung for his head, however at the last moment the move changed and Piccolo brought a foot upwards and kicking at Goku's stomach. Goku quickly blocked and responded by bringing a knee up to narrowly miss Piccolo's gut. The two fighters shot away from each other, and hovered in the air, each waiting for that silent signal that would indicate that the fight was beginning again.
That signal never came as a gold blur shot at Goku, the fighters stared in shock as the blur stopped in front of Goku to reveal Vegeta at Super-Saiyan 2.
"Vegeta! What's going on?" Goku asked, surprise written across his face. He had seen Vegeta in many different moods but this was a new one, and for once it looked like Vegeta wasn't looking for a fight.
"Kakarott, I need you to find the brats. They got a hold of Bulma's spaceship, she wants you to find them and teleport there." Vegeta said, his voice betrayed no emotion, but Goku's face did at the news.
"What!?" he yelled, he shot down to the ground and raised his eyes skywards, Piccolo and Vegeta soon landed beside him, both watching to see if he could find the children chi. Vegeta had dropped out of Super-Saiyan and was pacing slightly, while Piccolo was silently watching Goku.
Goku searched vainly, but the children were just to far away for him to sense. A chill ran down his spine, the thought of Goten lost out in space made him want blow some thing up and the feeling scared him a little. He didn't even know his youngest son that well, but he loved him as much as he loved Gohan and Chichi.
Vegeta watched as Goku's brow crinkled, but when he opened his eyes and sadly shook his head Vegeta turned his face away so that nobody could see the sadness that ran across it. He quickly composed himself and turned to face Goku, but he couldn't stand it, he knew that if he didn't leave soon he would do something he might regret.
Vegeta walked quickly away but before he could take off, a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He tensed but Goku let him go and instead said, "Vegeta we'll find them, none of us will rest until we get them back."
Vegeta didn't reply, he just shot upwards and headed back towards Capsule Corp. Goku watched Vegeta fly away; he hoped he wouldn't do anything foolish. He turned to face Piccolo who was still watching silently, "Piccolo, I need you to go get Gohan and the rest of the gang, maybe they can help some how. We'll all meet at Capsule Corp, 'kay." Piccolo nodded and took off, heading towards Gohan's chi.
Goku turned back to face towards Capsule Corp; he let out a deep breath. He had to stay calm for everybody, but he hoped that the boys would be okay. They were strong kids, he had to have hope. He quickly lifted off the ground and blasted towards Capsule Corp, hoping that there was something he could do to help.
Vegeta reached the Capsule Corp within a minute, flying at top speed. He landed in the yard and just stopped there. He was unsure of what to do and the feeling bothered him. The door crashed open and Bulma raced out.
"Vegeta!" she yelled, but slid to a halt as soon as she spotted his face, Goku couldn't find the boys. Even without words she knew right away. "Damn," she cussed quietly, walking over to Vegeta.
She was reached for his shoulder trying to get his attention, when he spun around to face her, the move almost made Bulma fall down but she caught herself at the last second.
Vegeta's hands grasped her shoulders, "Woman you can track the trajectory and make an assumption about where they are can't you?" Bulma silently nodded, unsure where he was going with this thought. "Then give me a ship, I'll go after them."
Bulma stared, them broke down into tears, she collapsed against a stunned Vegeta's chest, "I can't," she gasped. "I dismantled the only other working ship we had, so that I could built the new model," she moaned, she began crying harder. Vegeta slowly reached a hand up and lightly patted her hair, neither noticed the arrival of Goku, and as soon as Goku spotted them he quickly left to find Chichi not wanting to disrupt this moment.
"Hush woman, you can rebuilt it can't you?" he said a little gruffly.
Bulma nodded slightly, her head still resting against his chest, "But it will take a least a week," she said softly. "What if something happens to the boys? It would be all my fault!" Her voice quivered on the last word.
Vegeta pulled her away slightly so he could look in her eyes, "They have Saiyan blood in them, I'm sure that they'll be fine." Bulma stared up hopefully and slowly nodded, she pushed away from Vegeta and ran for her lab already planning out the steps needed to rebuild the spaceship.
Vegeta watched his mate run for the lab, for some reason his words to Bulma had calmed him, he realized that he really did believe that the boys would be fine, but that didn't mean that he wasn't going to go after them, and kick their sorry little asses for worrying everybody. He huffed slightly and wandered towards the house, he could sense Goku and wondered when he had arrived, he hoped that he hadn't seen him and Bulma together. The thought of somebody else witnessing the personal moment made him flush slightly. He opened the door and walked into the kitchen and into utter havoc.
Chichi was sobbing on Goku's chest, but even as Vegeta watched she shoved Goku away and grabbed the toaster, one of the few unbroken things left, and flung it against the wall, before going back to crying. Goku looked helplessly over her head at Vegeta. Vegeta slowly shook his head and smirked, Goku was obviously trying to get him to help. He considered it for a moment, and let out a grumble.
"Quit your sobbing, the boys will be fine. The woman is already working on a spaceship so we can go after the brats."
Chichi's head jerked up, and she screamed, "But my poor baby is stuck in space without his mommy!"
Vegeta groaned, he couldn't handle this; he stormed over to the drawer where Bulma kept the medical supplies, and pulled out a syringe filled with a clear liquid.
"Vegeta what are you doing?" Goku asked, not being able to see what Vegeta had grabbed. He almost screamed when Vegeta turned around, the needle glinted in his hand. Vegeta grabbed the stunned Chichi and injected the fluid into her. Goku felt his eyes rolling back into his head, and he fought off extreme fear as Chichi collapsed in his arms.
"What the hell? Vegeta!" Goku yelled, his voice quivering slightly. Thankfully Vegeta had already tossed the syringe into the garbage, but even the thought of that needle made Goku want to run screaming.
Vegeta just glared at Goku. "It's just a tranquilizer, she be fine in a few hour, and meanwhile we'll get some peace." Goku glared back, "You had no right," his eyes wandered down to the now sleeping Chichi resting on his soaked chest and he mumbled, "but it was a good idea." Vegeta only smirked in response.
After putting Chichi in one of the spare bedrooms to sleep off the tranquilizer, Goku and Vegeta went off to find Bulma. They were on the way to the lab, when they noticed that there were some chis headed towards them. As Goku and Vegeta watched figures appeared in the distance, they grew rapidly and within moments all the Z-senshi were touching down.
Gohan was the first to speak, "Dad, what's going on? Piccolo said something about Goten and Trunks."
Goku glanced at Vegeta to see if he wanted to tell them, but Vegeta simply waved his hand telling Goku to go ahead. Goku sighed and faced the fighters, "It seems the boys activated a spaceship and it took off with them inside."
Gasps rang out from the assembled group, Killian stepped forward, "What can we do to help?" A snort rang out from Vegeta but was ignored.
"We're going to see Bulma now, to find out if we can help. Come on, she's in the lab. She plans on building a ship so we can go after the boys." Goku said. He started walking again, heading towards the lab with the z-senshi close behind.
The lab was a total mess; Bulma was searching through piles of spare parts, an uncompleted ship resting in the background. She was mumbling as she grabbed a handful of wires and ran over to a table where a half assembled component rested. The group piled into the large lab, but were completely ignored by Bulma.
"Hey Bulma, we're here to help," Goku piped up, the blue-haired woman turned to face the group.
"Perfect!" she cried, she grabbed 4 pieces of paper and waved them around. "I need you to split into groups of two and get these parts I need."
The groups formed, Tien and Chouzu, Gohan and Piccolo, Killian and Yamcha, Goku turned to look at Vegeta. But found only empty space, 'Vegeta? Hey Vegeta?!" Silence was his only answer.
Ahhh, poor Goku, he got ditched by Vegeta. Well I guess
you can't expect Vegeta to run around playing delivery boy. I know this part
didn't deal much with Goten and Trunks, but the next chapters are going to be
all about them. Action is going to be coming up soon, probably in the next
part. But I need more REVIEWS. I'm not going to keep writing if I get the
