DISCLAIMER: FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! I DON'T OWN DBZ! Wait…this was the 4th time, wasn't it. Yeah, it was. Well, here's chapter 4!
Chapter 4: A dream can tell you many things…
Vegeta looked around the planet he was on. Creatures were standing around
him, ready to attack. He smirked at the inhabitants, and made his hands into
fists. "Bring it on"
The creatures attacked him in groups, but it was no use. Vegeta
ruthlessly killed them by the thousands. By the time he was finished, there
were piles of inhabitants all around him. He sat down on a rock to eat when a
transmission came through his scouter.
"Prince, Planet Vegeta was just hit by a meteor. As of right
now you are the only known survivor. We are terrible sorry."
"Very well, so be it." It was a stab to Vegeta's heart, if he even had
one.
Vegeta shook uncontrollably in his sleep. The dream had haunted
him throughout his years. The last thing he ever wanted was his home planet
being destroyed. All he wanted was…
Bulma walked into the room quietly. Soundlessly, she sat down next to
Vegeta's bed.
"Vegeta" she thought, "what have you've done to yourself?
You're stuck on the oxygen machine again." Her eyes started to tear.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"He'll be al right Bulma. Just a little drank a little too
much…no big deal."
Bulma stood up and turned around. Swallowing, she spoke.
"What if he isn't Goku? He's been in this state for days now. He's been
shaking and screaming in his coma. What if he doesn't make it?" She
started to cry and buried her face in her hands.
Goku hugged her. "Don't worry. He'll be okay. He's
strong. He'll pull through. Don't worry."
Bulma looked up at Goku. She noticed that his eyes weren't
as bright as they used to be. They seemed darker and older. Had he finally
grown out of his kid personality, or was it that determination of winning a
challenge? "Are you sure he'll be okay?" She asked.
"Positive" Goku smiled.
There it was. Those huge, black eyes. Those were the eyes that
Bulma was looking for. There was a twinkle in his eye that a child never loses.
It always made her feel better when he was around.
"Come on Bulma. Let Vegeta rest. He'll be up soon. I can feel
it."
"Okay" Bulma said, wiping her eyes.
Bulma and Goku walked out of the room.
Vegeta ripped the oxygen mask off of his mouth.
"What the hell happened?" He said, to himself. He rubbed
his head "My head is killing me. Last I remember I was with that
Saya-Jin…what was his name? Oh well. Might as well go and find Kakarott and the
others." He got up quickly, only to fall back onto his bed.
"Damn it!" He cursed, and got up slower. He walked
through the door into the living room. Everyone was sitting there. As soon as
Vegeta entered, everything stopped.
"What's everyone staring at?" Vegeta asked. "It's
not like I'm coming back from the dead!"
"You've been out cold for two weeks Vegeta." Krillin
stood up, in time to catch Bulma fainting. He laid her down on the couch before
continuing.
"What the hell happened?"
"Well, Vegeta" Krillin said, " You got drunk with a
bunch of Saya-Jins that you're supposed to be trying to stop. They've probably
killed everyone on Yardrat and hit the road. Goku told them one day, and you've
decided to take two weeks to recover!"
"So this is a stupid hangover"
"You've got it"
Bulma began to stir again. "Vegeta" she whispered. Trunks
walked over to her.
"It's al right mom," He said, cradling her head in his hands.
"Dad's awake. He's right over near the door.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, grabbed a capsule, and started
towards the door.
"Be careful, Vegeta" Bulma said. "Don't get
yourself killed. I wouldn't be able to bear it"
Vegeta sighed, "Of course Bulma" He was about to walk out the
door, Goku interrupted him.
"Stop Vegeta. You have to wait for the rest of us.
You're not strong enough to fight alone. You're just recovering."
"Shut up Kakarott. I will go alone. I have some matters to
take care of, and it does not concern you." Before Goku could speak,
Vegeta walked outside. He threw the capsule into the air and watched it turn
into a space pod. He quickly stepped into it, and took off.
Well, Vegeta's off again! Yay! What will his brother Vegetaa have in store for him when Vegeta returns to Yardrat? What will Goku and the rest of the gang do about Vegeta? Stay tuned!
