Chapter 10
NICE VEGETA
I sighed. So this was it. I was terrified, trembling. I felt more scared than I had when I was about to be tortured by Frieza. I was also terrified about never feeling these emotions again. I would never be me again. And then-Oh, it was so embarrassing! I felt the hot tears begin to fall. It made matters much worse when the evil Vegeta began his evil, stupid, dumb cackle. Trunks walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Father," he said warmly, "don't feel so bad. You'll be whole again. You must do this to help us all. You know that it'll be hard for Bulma if you don't return to your normal self. We are all glad that we got to meet you, the honorable Vegeta, but it's just not Vegeta with the arrogant side either. Be brave. Be your courageous self and return to normal. You're the only one who can keep him under control."
I was quite touched and I knew he was right. It would be too much for Bulma and maybe even for everyone else if I stayed as I was, so I agreed.
Ohh! My son! He was so kind and brave! I turned around and hugged him. He'd been so brave and he's been through so much. I could sense that he was really embarrassed so I let go. We both stood and blushed feeling ridiculous. Then I went and shook everyone's hand, except for my evil self. I turned to Goku. He smirked and playfully punched me in the shoulder.
"I'm so sorry," I said. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you ever..and I'm sorry about all the trouble I will cause in the future."
He laughed and I felt better. "It's ok. You'll feel better once your back together again. Oh, here comes Bulma."
I turned and faced the blue-haired goddess. She was hopping out of one of her flying automobiles and she ran to me and hugged me.
"Well, it's been weird, but it was really great knowing this side of you. Hey, don't worry. It'll be over before you know it and then you'll feel better than ever!"
"Arrggg! Gag me!" Evil Vegeta growled.
Bulma gave a small smile at him and then turned to me. " Vegeta, I love all you. And that's why you need to become one again."
I nodded and turned to Trunks. He led me to the giant genie flask.
" Now put your hand on the glass and push. You'll enter inside, but don't worry, you can breath in this liquid."
I placed a trembling hand on the glassy side and slowly pushed myself in. Instant panic! I couldn't breath!
" Take a breath!" Trunks yelled from outside.
So, accidentally, I did, and I could breath. I saw through the green liquid and realized that I was floating upside down. I gave a whirl of my hands and floated in the center right side up. Trunks, Bulma,Goku, and Gohan began to wrap some wires around the outside of the giant bottle I was in. I glanced up and saw that there were wires dipped into the liquid I was in, too. My stomach gave an uneasy flop. Why would there be wires in the liquid. Were they going to use an electric current to put us back together?! I looked back out into the green world and watched as they wrapped the wires around the evil Vegeta.
He glared at me. It struck my heart and I felt the awful, sickening terror as I realized that this was really happening. That disgusting, vile, evil would be within me again. I wish I could just wash my hands and be rid of him, but I couldn't do anything. I stared and he glared and we never took our eyes of each other.
EVIL VEGETA
I was in rage. I was in a defeated rage that is. I could only glare at the enemy that I was a part of. I hated him. He hated me. The awful fungus called Trunks held up a large control pad that held all the wires wrapped around my stupid twin and me. Damnit! I hated this!
"You'll pay!!I'll kill you all!!"
"Alright. Everyone stand back a little!" Trunks instructed. " The electric charge will be huge. In five, four, three-" Trunks counted down.
NICE VEGETA
I took a deep,shaking breath. I shook and quaked in terror. I could hear my young son counting down. His finger right on the control pad. My fear was indescribable. Overwhelming! All I could was wait for the awful moment.
" Three, two one!"
BBBZZZZEEEERRRR!!!!!!
" AAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!AAAHHH!!"
I felt myself being ripped apart! I was being electrocuted!! The pain!!The burning, blinding pain!!NNOOOO!! The green liquid boiled and felt as if I were being ripped apart in every direction!! My life was over!! Just let it end!!Let the pain end!
EVIL VEGETA
" AAAHHH!!"
They were killing me! Thos fu-AAHHH!! Electrified! I was melting! I felt like a piece of meat being fried by a dozen super-saiyajins! All I could do was writhe in extreme agony as the reoccurring currents of electricity were frying my body.
In all the pain, in all the awful pain I could still see my weak counterpart. He looked like an abstract painting that was thrown together by a drunken artist. His body was stretched. He was long and narrow and seemed to be stretching toward the wires above him. Then suddenly, he vanished! Then, a few seconds later..THE PAIN!! It was so horrible! The pain and agony overwhelmed me and I fell numb and unconscious.
VEGETA
I awoke with a horrible ZZAAPPP and shock. My body twitched and jerked and I barely made it to my side when I threw up. My body felt beaten and broken. Past my exhaustion, I felt my rage began to boil but I also felt like crying. I felt a hand on my shoulder and the pain slowly began to diminish. Kakerotto helped me too my feet. I really didn't want his help but I was too tired to care. My emotions were so messed up and confusing, nothing made sense. I felt.I felt so relieved to be myself again. I was whole, but then I remembered clearly what both minds thought. I could remember what both minds felt and saw. I felt horrified at the way they all saw my weak and kind side. A side that even I didn't know I had. Embarrassment swept over me. Bulma came up to me.
" I bet you just want to go home and rest."
I nodded slowly. It was hard trying to clear mind and think things through. I glanced at the giant science flask. Nope. No one in there, but he was inside me.
" No one is in there anymore," Piccolo said.
Like I couldn't notice. Did he think I was stupid? So I said, "Duh", and went home.
*******
Bulma was on the phone talking to Chi-Chi.
" Yep," she said. "Vegeta is still a little weirded out. His emotions are kinds mixed up. One minute he'll be really arrogant or rude and then I'll say another thing and he's all shy and sweet. Yeah,I know. Oh, ok. See ya later. Bye."
Vegeta sat on the couch and watched t.v. with Trunks.
" Oh here's a show you'd like," Trunks told him. " A guy with a split personality."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. " I see that you got your stupid side from your mother."
Trunks narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly. " Speaking of Bulma, she said that if you're good today, you'll be getting a surprise later tonight."
Vegeta's eyes widened and his face turned bright red. He put his hands to his cheeks and turned his face away. " That's so embarrassing! You shouldn't know that!" Then Vegeta ran upstairs and a door slammed to a room. He leaned against the door and sighed.
" I'm hope I'm not always going to be like this now. I feel like a PMSing girl."
He laughed shyly and flew to his gravity room to continue his training.
