Vegeta groaned and opened his eyes. His back was up against some kind of clear material and his knees where pressed up against his chest.
"Dad!" Vegeta whipped his head around and peered through the glass of his cell. Chibi Trunks had his hands on the glass of his own cell and was looking anxiously at Vegeta. His voice had sounded odd, like it was coming from a speaker. Vegeta looked up, it was coming from a speaker. He quickly stood up and surveyed his surroundings. They seemed to be in a lab of some sorts, computers and other technical objects lay strewn around the room and in all four corners, containers stood. Goten was to the Vegeta's left and Gohan was just coming to in the tube diagonally across the room from Vegeta. Goten was still unconscious, or dead. No, he was breathing. Vegeta only saw one door that lead out of the room. A display of a sorts sat beside each of the cells, several thick green bars that lazily rose and fell at different times and different lengths was shown on each. A seemingly solid wall that sat between Vegeta and Goten's cells slid open and the strange man in a white lab coat came striding through and the wall shut it self closed behind him.
"So you are finally awake are you?" He said breathily "What's this?" he said and stepped up to Goten's cage and tapped on it. "Wake up!" he sang, "Come on wake up!" he frowned when Goten didn't respond and walked over to the computer in the center of the room and hit one of the four of the red buttons arranged in a square. A torrent of electricity swept through Goten's cell. Goten screamed as the shock hit him.
"GOTEN!" Gohan and Trunks cried. It stopped as suddenly as it began and Goten was left panting on the little room that the cell walls left him.
"Are we awake now?" he cooed. Goten didn't respond, he was still unconscious. He scowled and turned back to the computer.
"Goten!" Trunks said and Vegeta glanced at him, "It's time to eat!" Goten snapped awake and looked around. Trunks grinned in relief.
"Ah, welcome." The wild man said in his silk voice. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Doctor Semadd. Creator of the tubes you now reside in." he giggled, "You will provide me with the energy I need to rule the world." He threw up his head and laughed. "You see, the tubes will take your power from you're bodies and convert it into a power that I will use to take over the minds of all living people in the world!" Vegeta growled and threw his fist at the wall in front of him. It didn't affect the 'glass' at all! Semadd laughed harder.
"You cannot break out now can you? I couldn't have had you locked in there just to escape now could I? I did make a stronger clear material, yes I did! It's steel plastic is what it is." He laughed, "Not even you can break it can you Vegeta?" Vegeta bared his teeth at him and transformed into a Super Saiyan. The green bars on that display next to his cell immediately shot to the top, changing to a brilliant red. This Semadd stared in shock at the display and Vegeta sneered at him. A warning flashed on the screen.
"Warning. Power overload." A computer said with a smooth, calm, unconcerned, female voice. Vegeta powered up. He decided that he was going to shatter this 'steel plastic' and kill the doctor slowly. "Switching power outlet to stabilize in three. Two. One. Zero." Pain suddenly blinded Vegeta as electrical shocks played around and through him but he increased his power again. He would break this thing. Screams came suddenly from the speaker and Vegeta jerked his eyes to Trunks' cell. He too was being electrocuted, but unlike Vegeta, he wasn't taking it at all well. Trunks and Goten where on the floor screaming. Vegeta quickly released his power and brought down his ki. The shocks stopped and Vegeta stared at Trunks, he was curled in a ball, shuttering with the memory of pain.
"Much more power you have than I though! Good! I do not recommend you do that again." Semadd hissed. He walked over to Vegeta's cell and rapped his knuckles on the steel plastic, flashing a toothy grin. "You just might hurt someone." He giggled. "But I must admit I did not think that precaution necessary."
"What are you going to do with us!" Gohan demanded.
"Ah, Gohan." Semadd said and turned his back on Vegeta.
"And how do you know out names?"
"I will tell you all." Semadd said, "In time." He turned to leave. "Oh yes. I am sure you have seen the speakers that connect you to each other and to the outside. I can turn them off." Semadd grinned and stepped up to the control panel but paused and looked at the two kids. "But I will leave yours on." He turned back to the panel and flipped two switches. He waved and said something that Vegeta couldn't hear and left by the door between Gohan and Trunks' cell. Goten sat cross-legged on the floor and passed the time talking to Trunks. Gohan sank down, looking defeated and Vegeta spent his time planning an escape.
