Chapter 10-The Acid Reign
Vegeta couldn't understand it. He felt that Goku was still alive, and he still wouldn't wake up! Vegeta looked around the room, trying to think of what to do.
*SMACK
Vegeta slapped Goku in the mouth.
"WAKE UP YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A SAIYAN!!!!"
Goku didn't even flinch. His head just lie there, limp, not responding to anything. Vegeta rolled his eyes and turned around, still pondering what to do with him. OK, if he wasn't going to wake up, Vegeta was just going to have to carry him out. Vegeta went up to where Goku lied on the wall and began to tear away the web that held him there. Goku began to slide off the wall and fell into Vegeta's arms. Vegeta gritted his teeth and grunted, as he did not particularly care for holding Goku. Vegeta lifted him up and threw him over his shoulder.
He wasn't too heavy to Vegeta, since his daily workout usually took place in 100 times earth's gravity. Vegeta took to the air and went toward the elevator shaft he crashed down in. He went in the elevator, floor eaten away by acid, and looked up the shaft. He had fallen farther than he thought, and he didn't feel like carrying Goku up there. It was the only way to the main entrance, so he gritted his teeth and started up.
Up above him, he could see light pouring out of the ground floor door. He couldn't wait to get Goku out of the way so he could do some hunting. He was even tempted to bring back one of their skulls. He envisioned the whole thing. He would sneak up on one of them, blast them in half with a ki shot, and get a special kit that skins the skull, cleans it, and buffs it, and hang it in his living room. That would be perfect, he thought.
Vegeta then heard a crash in the floor he was passing. Like pots and pans falling. There was something about it. He looked over at the closed elevator door. He knew what it was. Stupid little things. They alerted Vegeta to their presence. Vegeta shook his head. They were very vicious, but had the intelligence of dogs. Then Vegeta turned around.
A demon sprang from the opposite side of the shaft and smashed him through the door. Goku's limp body fell from him and landed on in the doorway, half on and half off the edge of the shaft. The demon was now pinning Vegeta to the ground. He kicked it off him, went Super Sayian, and turned to face his attacker. There were 3 of them, but 2 seemed not that interested in him. This floor was a kitchen. There was something about the smell of the room, but Vegeta ignored it. He concentrated on the one. He leaped into the air, and attacked the demon with an elbow drop. It dodged it before he could connect. He bounced of his hands and kicked at it, missed. He bounced off the wall, and went after it was a close-line. Missed again. He land and spun around, just in time to see the demon do a diving head butt to his face. Vegeta crashed into a few shelves, knocking them down, and landed face down. Unfazed, the demon charged him on all fours. Vegeta grabbed a pot that had fallen from the shelf and tossed it at the demon. It connected, sending acid blood and the demon into the air. It landing on it's side as Vegeta got to his feet. He ran up to it and kicked it in the chin as it attempted to get up. He then looked over to the others. They did nothing but look at him, spectating the fight before them, unwilling to join in. Vegeta then felt something hit the side of his head and made him flip several times sideways to the ground. He looked up at the demon lurched over him. He kicked up at it and made it fly. He got to his feet and brought his hands behind him and put them together.
Just as heat began to radiate from his hands, he recognized the smell. He looked over to the other 2 demons as they escaped the room. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"Mother..." he muttered to himself as intense heat, energy, sound, pain blew into his side. An explosion. The smell was gas, and Vegeta played right into their trap.
He was blown back into the shaft, slamming hard into the wall and falling uncontrollably downward. Several reaction explosions fallowed, most bigger than the first. Vegeta smacked onto the elevator, which woke him up. An orange glow illuminated the shaft, making the darkness that once occupied it retreat. He heard all kinds of explosions and shrieking steel above him. He turned around from his face down position and noticed Goku's body on the opposite end of the elevator. He looked up and noticed all kinds of fire and debris up above. He slowly made his way to his knees. His body further ached; his armor shredded and burnt. An explosion of that of that magnitude would have vaporized a human, but Saiyans were known for the punishment they could endure, but this was driving Vegeta to the breaking point.
Vegeta's troubles were far from over. Above him, the sounds of the death of a building pierced his ears. Everything was about to come crashing down on top of them. Vegeta looked to his right, the opposite side of where the elevator doors were. A grate blocked a an air duct. It seemed like the easiest escape. Picked himself up and grabbed Goku by his hair and drug him over to the duct. He kicked it open and tossed him in there. As he did, the building came crashing down as stories worth of debris and shrapnel fell with it. Vegeta dove into the duct just in time. It all came down, destroying everything in the shaft. When the dust settled, the shaft was completely blocked off. Vegeta would have blasted through it, but he was afraid of hitting that machine in doing so, and after reading that that thing could take out the whole planet, he decided not to take a chance. He would have to find another way around.
