Prince Vegeta stood on the edge of the precipice overlooking the expanse of desert below. Memories of the night before flooded his mind. He had almost let that woman kiss him. He wavered between anger and disappointment. He had spent most of the day sparring alone in the wastelands, trying to decide what it was about the woman that unnerved him. He found that he was becoming close to her. He had never been close to anyone before.
Screaming in frustration, Vegeta released a ki attack. The blast demolished yet another ancient stone formation that had taken thousands of years to form. Normally senseless destruction helped to ease his mind; today, however, Vegeta found that it only darkened his mood.
"Onna no baka," he muttered under his breath.
Gohan, Nappa, and Radditz didn't help at all either. They had spent all night following him around, teasing the poor prince. And the fact that his counterpart and the older Bulma had "gone to bed early" only made things worse. Yamcha had tried to make a snide comment, but he had received a swift punch to the nose before he could finish what he was saying. All of this combined to make one grumpy Saiyan prince.
Sighing to himself, Vegeta levitated to the ground below. He began to wander around aimlessly, kicking pebbles with his gold-tipped boots. He stopped short when he sensed someone in front of him. A tall man stood there, smirking. His tail swished lazily behind him.
"Greetings, your majesty," stated Paragas smoothly.
Vegeta scowled at him and glanced over his shoulder. There stood another Saiyan. Vegeta felts himself growing uneasy as he stared into the other's dull eyes.
"You must be Brolly," sneered the Prince arrogantly, ignoring the Saiyan who had spoken to him.
"Ah. I see you have heard of my son," commented Paragas.
Vegeta snorted, his eyes never leaving Brolly. The taller Saiyan smiled lazily at him. Vegeta's eyes narrowed and he slipped into a fighting stance. Behind him, Paragas laughed.
"I hope you enjoy yourself, my Prince. This will be your last battle," he taunted.
Vegeta ignored his mocker; he stared intently at Brolly. The Legendary Super Saiyan mirrored his stance and stood expectantly. Yelling, the Prince gathered ki into his palms. Brolly shifted, bracing himself for the coming attack. Vegeta smirked and whirled around unexpectantly, sending the ki bomb hurling at Paragas. The Saiyan grunted as the life energy slammed him into the edge of a cliff. Paragas slumped over, his body sore and bruised.
Brolly shrieked and charged at Vegeta. The prince spun back around just in time to block the first of Brolly's punches. The two began a steady barrage of punches and kicks. Vegeta smirked as he felt his muscles strain under the assault. It had been too long since he had a proper challenge. With a fierce yell, Vegeta landed a kick directly in the middle of Brolly's stomach. The other Saiyan flew backwards.
Brolly smirked and flipped mid-air. He landed and stalked towards the panting prince. Vegeta's eyes widened when he realized Brolly hadn't even been winded by the attack. The prince barely managed to duck in time as Brolly's leg went flying through the space where Vegeta's head had been only moments before. He landed with a grunt on the ground; Vegeta's leg lashed out, knocking Brolly off his feet. His opponent down, the prince took to the air. He halted several hundred feet and looked down. Brolly was staring up at him with a crazed look in his eye.
Wordlessly, the manic Saiyan gathered his ki around him. Without any effort, he concentrated his power and magnified it. The energy blossomed around him as he transformed into a Super Saiyan. Brolly laughed as he felt Vegeta's fear growing. He leapt up into the sky in pursuit of his opponent.
Vegeta was unable to dodge Brolly as he slammed full force into him. The prince fought the urge to panic as he felt the oxygen being driven from his lungs as Brolly pounded him repeatedly in the rib cage. Vegeta sputtered and began to fall from the sky. Brolly released a ki attack at the dropping sovereign. Vegeta felt several bones crack as the life energy slammed into him and drove him into the desert surface.
The Saiyan prince lay unmoving on the ground, his sore muscles forbidding him to rise. Brolly took the opportunity to kick Vegeta repeatedly in the stomach. The smaller Saiyan grunted with each blow, blood spattering down his chin.
After a few moments of torture, Brolly backed off. He stared down at his injured opponent. He was disappointed; he had expected the headstrong prince to be more of a challenge. Vegeta groaned and attempted to stand to his feet. Brolly grinned. That was more like it.
The insane Saiyan waited for his battered opponent to steady himself before beginning another onslaught. Vegeta vainly attempted to fend off his crazed attacker. Despite his efforts, he could feel himself weakening. He silently cursed his own frailty. Damn this weak body. What good was it? He was constantly being defeated, if not by Kakkarot, then by some other unworthy third-class refuse. Vegeta screamed angrily. Brolly gasped and staggered backward as the other Saiyan's ki level rose drastically. Vegeta stood hunched over, gasping desperately, unaware of the gold, flame-like energy wrapping around his body.
"Like hell I'm going to let you defeat me," he hissed at Brolly.
Releasing another enraged scream, Vegeta's ki peaked. A large wave of pure energy radiated from his body, tossing Brolly through the air. As the ki rush subsided, Vegeta stood panting for breathe, his eyes wide with astonishment. He didn't need to see himself to know what had happened. He was a Super Saiyan now.
Grinning maniacally, Vegeta turned his gazed to Brolly. The depraved Saiyan seemed unaffected by this new development. Brolly carefully picked himself up off the ground. He tilted his head and smirked at the angry little monarch. This would be much more fun.
Hello everyone! So sorry it's taken me so long to update. I had exams then I left for a week long vacation. But I'm back now! I know I left off kinda abruptly at the end of this chapter, but I wanted to go ahead and post so people wouldn't think I had disappeared forever. Besides, I thought this made a good cliff hanger. The next half will be out soon, I promise. Please review!
