Red and blue lights filled into the forest; something was happening just a couple miles away. Goku sat up in panic, as a dreadful feeling came over at the pit of his stomach. Something was happening at Capsule Corp.. But what? Was their a fire? Was their a burglar? No.. surely Vegeta and Trunks would've been able to handle that.. Goku, in an instant, grabbed the covers and thrust them over his side. He struggled onto his feet, and lifted two fingers onto the center of his forehead. Everything vanished in front of eyes, and the scene changed to the familiar grounds of Capsule Corp. What he saw was something he least expected..
About 10 police cars crowded over the Gravity Room, an ambulance was making its way up the lawn, and a devastated Bulma and Trunks were crying in the corner, holding on to each other for comfort. Goku immediately ran over to them, already feeling a tight knot form in his throat.
"Bulma! What happened?!" He yelled, concern exploded into his voice.
Tears tumbled down the woman's cheeks, and her blue eyes were littered with pain.
"Someone... some.. one.. almost.. killed.. Vegeta.."
"What?! Who?"
Bulma shook her head in confusion, as her sobs of pain exploded from her throat. "I.. don't.. know.." She finally replied, angst and fear very evident in her voice. Her eyes had dark rings under them, much like the ones Vegeta were starting to form. Goku's eyes narrowed softly, but he couldn't help the seething anger that was boiling up inside of him. Who ever did this.. was going to pay with their life.. and Goku was going to make sure of that.. Damn! Who did this? And why? Who had the power to take down the prince? Goku tightened his fists, and his eyes were already watering up in tears. He fell onto his knees in grief, staring straight at the ground. His conscience was ready burst with guilt.. if only he had stayed with Vegeta on that cliff.. if only he hadn't left him alone..
The stretcher came out of the Gravity Room, an all-too familiar body lay limp, helplessly covered in crimson, thick blood. Goku almost fainted at the sight of it all, but felt he had to look as the saiyan was pulled into the back of the ambulance. The doors were still open, signaling for Bulma and Trunks to come into it. Bulma looked down at her shocked son, and pushed him forward, both of them walking slowly to the outstretched doors. Goku saw the look in Bulma's eyes as the doors closed, and the vehicle zoomed out of sight. The look, was only something Goku had seen very rarely, but he knew it all too well. He had seen it only a couple times, on the looks of great warriors, but never someone as innocent and as cheerful as Bulma. It made the whole experience seem worse than it actually was.. the look, -- he had seen it when Krillin was being lifted into the air by the tyrant Frieza.. when Piccolo jumped in front of Goku, and got shot by Frieza's blast.. when Vegeta said his final dramatic words, and had died telling him to destroy the tyrant,.. when Gohan had given up, knowing that all was lost against Cell,.. and finally, when Vegeta was telling Goku about his dream on that cliff.. that look. The look of fear, absolute terror and pain. Helplessness.. complete and total inability to control the situation.. that the situation was fatal. Maybe even Goku himself, had that look on his eyes once.. but there was no telling that Bulma had just given that glance of despair, just before the ambulance left.
The grass swayed peacefully as the wind seemed to pick it up. The darkness of the night was puzzling, and the quiet was so calm, it scared Goku immensely. How the hell could it be so quiet, if someone almost murdered Vegeta? Why hadn't Vegeta cried out in pain, or gotten out of the Gravity Room before he was attacked? Something must've happened to the prince.. Goku continued to sit on his knees; his hands slung over his head, as his eyes stared harshly at the ground. And then.. the strong saiyan remembered.. Someone, -- or something had killed Vegeta in his nightmare.. someone that Vegeta knew, but wasn't able to recognize.. Goku's eyes widened in realization and shock. The older saiyan prince knew that his dream was a warning, not just a nightmare! No wonder Vegeta hadn't been able to sleep for weeks, no wonder he was so uptight when they were discussing it on the mountain cliff, no wonder he told Goku he wouldn't understand! Goku sighed, his breath was becoming very short for some in ordinate reason.. maybe he was being put under a lot of stress. The type that only anyone could've dreamed of..
His eyes drifted off to the Gravity Room, where police officers and detectives were now leaving the sight with the blood samples, and finger prints. Police cars were steadily leaving the driveway; tire tracks plagued the once clean, cut lawn. Now, all that was left near the Gravity Room, was the great warrior Goku. The great warrior that had defeat many foes, aging to several years back -- Raditz, Nappa, Frieza, Cell, Buu,.. and yes, even Vegeta. Vegeta, the worst of enemies, and the best of friends. Vegeta, who was talking about his nightmare and being completely serious. Vegeta, who was almost murdered exactly after Goku had flown away... The great warrior Goku, now had a mission. Whoever had caused this, whoever had done this gruesome attack, was going to pay. Rage filled the pure saiyan's heart as he envisioned Vegeta's pure look of agony as his attacker gave the final blow.. Goku slammed his clenched fist down on the freezing grass. He once more glanced over at the Gravity Room.. sitting perfectly still, but with the door open, and the bitter aroma of blood.. the bitter feeling of pain.. and the bitter memory of an evil far to dangerous for Goku to even think of. All that the saiyan could wait for, was when Vegeta woke up, and told evidence of who the cold killer could be.
