Chapter 11-Clostrophobia
Vegeta's grip on Goku's collar kept slipping. Some blood kept on getting on his hands, which made things even worse. He didn't know who's blood it was, his whole body ached and he didn't feel like stopping to check if it was him. The shaft held a tight squeez over Vegeta. It probably only had a 2 1/2 to 3 foot diameter. He had to move in a crawling position and, only if he tried real hard, could he flip around in the other direction. The shaft was also dark and illuminated. Holding Goku in one hand and a flashlight in the other also made things frustating. Once again, his mind began to wander.
These damn sonsofbitches are smart, Vegeta thought to himself. He figured they only had the intelligence of dogs and the ferocity of a wolverine when he first encountered them, but after that stunt back in the elevator shaft, he figured out he truely knew next to nothing about them. What he did know was limited. He knew that the were fast, could slice him up, and have concentrated acid for blood. Everything else was left up to speculation. He needed some time to rest and clear his head. It was going to be a while before he got outta there. He came up on a T junction and sat down to rest up.
He turned his head to Goku, still panting heavily from exhaustion. He was still out. What ever these things did to him, it put him out cold, and he wasn't gonna get up for a long time he figured. This whole ordeal he was in was unreal. This planet looked peaceful enough when he first got here, but he never even fathomed preparing himself for this. Why was a prison all they way out here anyway? There were no populated systems for many light years from here. It would probably take the closest system almost a week to get here. That's probably what did this place in, if they radioed a distress signal, the rescuers would have been too late. The demons probably got them too, otherwise they would have destroyed this place. Another thing that bothered Vegeta was how Dr. Breif's (Bulma's dad) who reffered them to this planet, overlooked such a place like this. The entire complex was atleast the size of a small city, and with Dr. Brief's resources, he shouldn't have missed it. He had probably seen it and didn't tell them because he was getting antsy about him being around the house so much and wanted him out. Goku specifically requested an uninhabbited planet, and for Dr. Breifs to lie to Goku meant that he really wanted Vegeta gone for a while.
He had rested up enough. He had to get going.
Well, he found a way out, but it was verticle. That was usually not a problem for Vegeta, but given that the shaft was so narrow that he couldn't just drag him up, they wouldn't fit. This Goku thing was getting tidius, as if it hadn't already. The shaft looked as if it stopped at every floor from here up, so he was gonna go to the top floor and dumb Goku off at the ship. He thought for a second on how he was going to get Goku up the shaft, and got it. He got into the shaft, standing on his hands, and grabbed Goku's arm. He then started flying slowly up the shaft backwards. He didn't like this. He couldn't see what was above him and he hated close quarters. It was all too limiting, and Vegeta didn't like limits. He should have kept his mind clear, incase something attacked him, but he couldn't help it. He started to think.
So many things were buzzing through Vegeta's head that he didn't know where to start. There were so many unanswered questions, like what these demons were, why the seemed to want to mutalate him and cacoon others, why those three cacooned ones have died a horrible death, and what the hell that giant spider ting was. And the questions answered by that journal, like where the demons came from and what happened here, only left more questions. Such questions as who really was the women who wrote that journel, why Freeza's men were after her, why Freeza's men regrouped, how they were able to spawn these creatures, and, most important to Vegeta, if one sayjin escaped the planet's destruction that he didn't
know of, does that mean there are more? If Freeza's men regrouped, who was leading them? This was going to be a problem after this was behind him. If they are back, they need to be iradicated.
Vegeta's feet tapped against something. It was the top of the shaft. He looked around for the grate that would gain him access to the floor. It was to his left at about his knees. He fly downward a little bit so he could angle himself to kick it out. He did. He jumped out the shaft and hung Goku between the shaft and the vent. Vegeta fell to the floor, facing the well, and came face to face with a man. Vegeta fell backwards on his back end. Then he became confused. His brain couldn't comprehend for a second what he was seeing. It looked like a stutue, it couldn't be real. Then it clicked as he got to his feet. The man was cacconed, but he didn't look like the first three that he came across before. He was human,
but he was blue. His form was wrong. He looked like he was comming out of the wall rather than in a web. He had no pupils, and the only noticable things that made him think he was alive were his arms and legs, which were frozen in a position of struggle. His body was in the wall, with a noticable huge cavity
where the chest should be. His face showed signs of incredible pain. It was the same scene as before, only this guy must have been here much longer, much longer than the other 3. Maybe the other 3 where the rescue team. It would make sence that there was no ship. For such a call like this, the government out here wouldn't send a drop ship, but a sort of paratrooper that would be deployed from the atmosphere, and there ship would go home and wait for a report. Those three must have been those paratroopers.
Vegeta turned around and came face to face with another cacoonie. He then looked around extensively. The room was littered with them, hanging from the walls and ceilings, with the same surroundings that the demons make as their home enviroment. Vegeta's jaw dropped, he couldn't beleive
what he was seeing. Hundreds of people dead, and all right infront of him. The feeling hit Vegeta like a ton of bricks. He may have been at one time, the most evil and destructive being in the universe, but not even his carnage ever produced anything like this.
Vegeta caught a cold wind and turned fast. It came out of the wall at him and threw him down. Before he even knew what was happening, a bright flash came from behind him and a charge connected with what hit him and made it explode. Vegeta instinctively covered his face so the acid wouldn't hit it. None touched him. Then he looked behind him. It was Goku, still where he ahd left him, but awake, barely. Vegeta only flashed him a look of disapproval.
