Chapter 7: Vegeta's Downfall

   Goku turned to the rest of the gang. "Looks like we're done here." He turned to Vegeta. "Thank you." Vegeta turned his head and crossed his arms in typical Vegeta fashion. Everyone was stopped by a ki blast the landed not far in front of them, creating a huge crater.

   "Who the hell do you think you are?"

   Vegeta turned around. "I'll tell you who I am" Vegeta went Super Saya-Jin. "I am Vegeta, prince of all the Saya-Jins. I am a father and a husband" The yellow ki that enveloped him turned red as he walked forward. "I am a warrior. I am a protector of Earth. I am the merciless Vegeta, who shows no compassion to anyone, especially to weaklings like you." Vegeta smirked. "That is who I am."

   "Very well, Vegeta. Looks like I'll just have to come after Earth next. You will not be let out of this easily. I do not care any longer that you are my brother. You will pay the ultimate consequence for crossing me."

   "I do not care if you are my brother either, Vegetaa. You will also have no chance at coming after Earth."

   "And why is that?"

  "Because if you do, I'll kill you" Vegeta stared straight into his brother's eyes.

  "That's only if you can keep up." With that, Vegetaa blasted up into the air. In a split second, Vegeta was after him. The battle that would hopefully save Yardrat—and Earth, had begun.

   Goku looked up and followed the two Saya-Jin's movements.

   "Goku, did you know that Vegeta had a brother?" Bulma walked up to him.

   Not taking his eyes off the battle, Goku answered. "No, none of us did. He's probably as surprised as the rest of us."

   "Aren't you going to help him?"

   "No, this is a fight Vegeta has to fight on his own."

   Bulma turned towards the sky. Not being able to see anything, she bit her lip.

   Vegetaa went for the kill. Aiming for the head, he tried to punch Vegeta from the side. Blocking, Vegeta hit Vegetaa's stomach, sending him through the air. Quickly following, Vegeta elbowed his brother into the ground. Vegetaa quickly hobbled to his feet.

   "Not half bad, brother." He said smirking. "But will you be able to keep up much longer? I'd like to show you a little trick I know. I think you're quite fond of it." Vegetaa started to scream. To everyone's surprise, they watched as his hair turned gold and his eyes turned green. Vegeta smirked, not the least but surprised.

  "Makes sense. This should make things more interesting." Vegeta went into his fighting stance. Vegetaa did the same.

   This time, Vegetaa attacked first. Vegeta easily dodged his attacks. Vegeta finally slipped up and Vegetaa punched  him across the face, making his lip bleed. Vegeta wiped away the blood and smirked. Putting his hand level to his face, he started to form a ki blast. "Big…Bang…"

~*~

   Trunks looked up at his father. "Hey Goten" he said, turning to his friend. "Ya want to bet how much longer it takes for my dad to beat the other guy?"

   "Uh Trunks, isn't he your uncle?"

   "Yeah…I guess…but whatever. Want to bet?"

   Goten smirked. "20 bucks says 10 minutes tops."

   "You're on" Trunks gave Goten a similar smirk.

~*~

   "…ATTACK!" Vegeta screamed, releasing the ki ball. It hit it's target straight on. Vegeta smirked.

   Suddenly, the ball came back at him. Not having enough time to react, it hit Vegeta right in the stomach, hurdling him towards Goku. Vegeta slammed into Goku, sending both of them flying farther backwards. Regaining his senses, Goku stopped both himself and Vegeta. Vegeta hit the ground and slowly opened his eyes. "Where's…Vegetaa…" Vegeta said, sitting up. He clenched his teeth. "Damn it! My attack backfired on me again!" Vegeta fell backwards.

   "Vegeta, you're in no condition to fight. Let me take care of this." Goku said.

   "No. If I can't fight, my son will." Trunks looked over at his father.

   "But dad…"

   "I want you to battle him. I have failed. You have the strength and you know it." Vegeta couldn't believe what he was saying. "I'm hanging around Kakarott too much" He mumbled.

   "Okay dad…whatever you say. I'll go fight him. Yeah! And I'll win! You just watch!" Trunks took flight and flew off to meet Vegetaa.

   Trunks landed in front of Vegetaa.

   "Where's Vegeta?"

   "My father asked me to finish you off. Now you have to deal with me."

   Vegeta smirked. "So, you're his son. Well, this is going to be interesting…"

   "Yes, it certainly will. Now, we fight." Trunks dropped into his fighting stance, and Vegetaa did the same.

Attack of the evil cliffhangers, ah! Sorry, but I HAD to end it there. So, Vegeta has failed, but how will his son fare against the evil Saya-Jin? Tune in next time for "Saving Yardrat"! ^_^
