Chapter 7

Nice Vegeta

" He's a genius! A pure genius!" Bulma waved the papers frantically. " He could be as smart as me! All the answers are right! He even wrote out explanations on why they're right!"

I sat and blushed. Bulma was too kind.

" You helped him didn't you, Trunks?"

My son held up his hands defensively.

" No way! He did the whole thing in less than a half an hour."

Bulma smirked and shook her head.

" This must mean that I'm even more of a genius than both of you!" Trunks said. " I mean, generations do get stronger."

" Don't get your hopes up kid," Bulma replied.

The phone rang so she went and picked it up. Instantly she was serious and she spoke shortly, then hung up. She turned to Trunks and me.

" Goku and the others have gone to fight Uragiru. You two must go."

I'm sure my expression was pure horror because Bulma and Trunks smiled sheepishly and looked at each other. Trunks slowly glanced to the nearest exits as if he were to read my mind. I shook my head in terror.

" There's no way I'm going!" I leaped and wrapped my arms around the stair banister. " Take the other guy! He'll finish that ugly beast!"

" Vegeta!" Bulma yelled. "Stop being a baby!"

She grabbed my feet and pulled me. Yes, she was strong when she was angry, but I still had half my usual power, so, I clutched the railing with shaking fear.

" Father," Trunks said softly. " If we took that Vegeta, then he would destroy Uragiru and everyone on earth. He's just a body of rage and fury. You know that. You are the brave one. You're the strong one. After all these years, you've been able to sustain and suppress all that rage and evil. You have always been able to hold him back, and you can fight. Now come with me and help all your friends."

I stared at him and realized he was right. I really wished he wasn't, but I knew I'd be dragged with anyway, so I released the stair banister just as Bulma gave one last tug and we both flew into Trunks with a painful yelp. Exasperated, Trunks pushed us off and stood up.

" And you're going to fly."

I whimpered as usual.

EVIL VEGETA

Luckily, those idiotic fools hadn't checked on me for a while. I was able to make myself stand and find the healing solutions. The antidote would replenish my strength.

So! The two Saiyajin wannabes didn't need me? I'll show them! I'll kill that stupid monster and then I'll destroy Earth! That'll show Kakerotto and all these weak, putrid humans! They will cower at my might! They will all pay! Ok, control my rage..or control me, and concentrate. There! I could feel their weak powers out there! HA! What pathetically weak energy! A bunch of cowards they are!

I blasted through the roof of the Capsule home and headed straight for battle. To Battle! YES! Skulls will be crushed and people will cry in agony when the mighty prince arrives! I saw them down there. It seemed that the little bastard Gohan and his revolting, weak, coward, stupid piece of crap father were taking a stab at the hairy beast. Uragiru. I'd show them all, so I blasted a powerful, gigantic energy beam at Uragiru.

NICE VEGETA

" Watch out!" Krillin hollered.

The small blast hit Uragiru and the awful giant put his gaze on the evil, arrogant prince floating in front of him.

" HAHAHA!" My double said. " How does my mighty power feel to you?"

" I don't know," Uragiru replied with a toothy grin. " did you just try to show me?"

I'm sure that all the Z fighters could feel Evil Vegeta's rage boiling. If it had an actual mass, the planet would be shaking apart.

" How dare you say that!!" He roared. " Don't you even know who I am?! I'll rip you apart! I'll tear out your intestine and choke you with it! I'll torture you with- "

" Vegeta!" Goku yelled. " Go away."

My evil twin just turned and stared at the brave saiyajin. His eyes were dark and shadowed over with quaking fury. His whole body trembled as the fire within him burned.

Oh Goku! Be careful. I would be crushed if something happened to him. How would I ever be able to cope with the feeling that I caused Goku's death? But wow, he could stand up to anyone. The way he listened to me when I was dying from Frieza's hits. He saved the planet so many times. He stood in the light in universe. He even treated me and joked with me like I were a true friend. Yes, I knew it, he was my best friend.

" Look at him," I said out loud. I felt myself turn red as everyone looked at me. " Well, look at Goku. What bravery and what honor he holds to his friends."

Tien laughed quietly. " Yep, that's Goku. Isn't it cool to finally realize it?"

I nodded. Suddenly, evil Vegeta attacked Goku! All the Z fighters growled angrily.

Trunks shook his head. " Don't be too alarmed. When Vegeta was separated, so was his power. The two sides have equal power levels. I don't even think either of them can turn super-saiyajin."

" Look!" Piccolo burst in. " Goku and Vegeta have distracted Uragiru! So here's the plan, Nice Vegeta attacks him and then we all blast him."

" WHAAATTT??!!"

Yamcha and Trunks put their hands over my mouth quickly.

" You must!" Piccolo said. " He'll see you and the other you and then he'll get confused. Then we'll attack."

I shook my head and trembled, but I knew he was right. I looked up at Uragiru and Trunks and Yamcha released me. Hmm.Uragiru. Judging on his attitude and ego, he mustn't be too bright so it could probably work. I still didn't want to be the one-

" Whoa! YYYAAHHHH!!"

Piccolo had grabbed my arm and threw me straight at the horrifying, snarling beast!

" AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"
