Chapter 7-The Call of the Saiyan
Vegeta slowly opened his eyes. The corner of his mouth was wet and so was his cheek that he was laying down on. He was drooling. Vegeta sat up and wiped his mouth dry with the blanket that he neglected to sleep under. He felt like something terrible had happened, but he couldn't remember what, and he had a feeling that he didn't want to. He put his hand on his forehead and ran his had through his hair while he stumbled into the kitchen. He looked through the cupboards looking for food. He found a hidden box of cereal, grabbed it and turned around.
"Aw shit!" Vegeta saw the red puddle on the floor with his shredded armor in it. It all started to comeback to him. He sat down at the table, put his hand in the box, and started to eat handfuls of cereal dry. The prison, fighting Goku, the demons... it all started to come back to him. Did it really happen? How else could he wake up the way he did? And if it really did happen, why was it so unreal? Demons with 2 mouths, bleeding acid, equal or maybe even surpassing Vegeta in agility, endurance, and strength, and killing Goku. How could they do that? He didn't even put up a fight. And the creatures them selves, they had to be straight out of Hell. The thing was, at the level Vegeta was at, he should be able to take on anything, even Goku, but he got his ass kicked. And even though he defeated all of his enemies, he still felt like he lost. He had to retreat though, or else he would be dead. The things were true killing machines. Their soul purpose for existing must have been to kill, whether it be for their own survival or otherwise. Or maybe they were like the Saiyans , where they killed for pleasure? Then again, some things about them made him think that they were more defensive than offensive. The fact that nothing fallowed him when he retreated was a tip off. Also, the inside of the prison couldn't have been man made. The coating on the walls seemed too...organic...to be made by any technological species such as Saiyans or humans. They also blended in perfectly with their surroundings, which could have been the reason for them to construct such an enigma. The way they seemed to manifest from the wall and have the power to blow Vegeta through the opposite wall was almost scary. He couldn't even sense there presence, unlike someone like Goku, whom he could sense anywhere on the planet. Wait...
Goku was still alive!!! His inner fire was weak, but not extinguished, yet. Vegeta forgot that he could sense Goku's presence. Aw great. This meant that Vegeta had to go in after him. Good, that meant that he would get to finish off Goku. Vegeta's Saiyan blood called for the fight, even if his body didn't. Then again, Vegeta needed to feel pain. It was the only way he truly knew he was alive. It was going to be a bitch to get him out. He had no idea how many of those things there actually were. Those things were badass, but Vegeta was the ultimate badass! And, well, a badass gotta do what a badass gotta do. This meant he was going to go back in there and get Goku out.
Vegeta was now feeling a reload of vigor. He went into Goku's personal closet.
"Ah ha." Vegeta picked up a bag of Sensu beans. He threw one in his mouth and almost immediately, his strength began to return to him. He walked back into the kitchen and threw the bag on the table. He then went into the bedroom and changed into a fresh set of armor. He pulled the blue Spandex up to his wrists, slapped his gloves on, and slid on his boots. He grabbed a belt, but he didn't put it on. He went back into the kitchen and grabbed the bag of Sensu beans and tied them onto his belt. He went into one of the other cabinets and grabbed 2 high powered, but hand-held sized flashlights. He hooked them both onto his belt and clipped it on around his waist. He curled his arms with his fists extended and stretched his chest muscles. He felt power surging through him again.
Vegeta walked out the airlock and outside. He looked to the now night sky as he felt for Goku's faint aura. He then quoted one of his favorite lines.
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all outta gum."
