Thanks to Vegetachik7, K. C. Whitestar and the invisible reviewer ( ) for reviewing! And special thanks to Debido for constructive criticism (always welcomed), although I don't think that I have so few descriptions because I hurry, in fact I barely have any ideas and struggle always for some weeks (well actually rather months) until I get something acceptable together. But I tried to put in more now. Maybe I'll rewrite the first 3 chapters.
Isn't it incredible: there's no difference between a grin and a smirk in german! How am I supposed to make the difference between Goku's Son Grin and Vegeta's usual smirk???
I know, you wanna read on... How about another author's note???
Vegeta: *appears next to me* "Don't you dare, brat! That's my past!"
Me: "Yes, and if you piss me off then nobody will ever know it!"
Vegeta: "Shut up and write on!"
I know, that was lame...
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. If I did, Veggie-chan wouldn't be mated with that blue-haired screeching potato.
[Thoughts are in square brackets.]
Chapter 4:
In a rocky desert far away from any inhabitants, two figures appeared in the sky. Immediately, the ground began to shake, rocks were blown away, the earth cracked. A toad was blown away by the sudden surge of ki. "Not again!" it croaked. (A/N: Guess who that was).
Goku decided to settle down some way away, and look what would happen. Vegeta was emitting strong waves of fury, and Goku had to power up to Super-Saiyajin be able to resist them enough to keep the smaller Saiyajin in view. He sat down on a rock and watched him intently. Tears of grief for Bulma rolled silently down his cheeks.
Vegeta's mind was racing. He didn't know where he was, or why, he only knew that Bulma was dead. Why? It filled him with incredible fury that he had been unable to help her. He was Saiyajin no Ouji, the second-strongest being in the universe! He didn't even bother about Kakarotto being stronger than him. All that did matter was that Bulma wasn't there anymore.
"Bulma-chan!" he suddenly screamed. Goku had to duck behind the rock he had been sitting on, or he would have been blown away by the quickly increasing amount of energy that radiated from Vegeta. [Hope he won't kill himself] Goku thought. [This is Vegeta.] he quickly reminded himself. [That proud, cocky, callous "prince of all Saiyans".] Then, the radiating subsided. When he looked up, he was really caught off guard. In the sky hung an eyebrowless Vegeta with kneelong golden hair, glaring furiously. He had achieved Super Saiyajin 3.
Then Vegeta attacked. Before Goku even realized what was going on, sharp pain hit his chest, and he found himself flying in a large rocky mountain, that crumbled above him. He began to power up, emerging from the heap of stones the collision had created. [He must be out of control] he thought. But what he saw next proved him wrong. Vegeta was waiting for him to power up, smirking evilly. Goku had a flashback of the time when Vegeta had landed on the earth for the first time. That was the last time he had seen that look in the smaller Saiyan's eyes. A look of pure indifference and hatred.
When Goku had finished powering up to Super Saiyajin 3 himself, he flew up to Vegeta and took a fighting stance. "You do not know how long I waited for this day, Kakarott." - "What? For Bulma's death?" Goku was confused. - "For the day I will be strong enough to kill you, baka. I am the Saiyan Prince, and I will finally be what I should have been since my birth. The strongest being in the universe." Goku couldn't explain Vegeta's sudden change. Maybe the transformation to SSJ 3 had brought out his other side, all his long buried anger and touched pride. "Please, Vegeta, don't. Bulma wouldn't want you to." - "I could care less." With these words, Vegeta phased out of sight and then reappeared behind Goku. He slammed both his fists in his back and sent him flying downwards, then flew to the ground under Goku and sent a Final Flash up to him. Goku countered it with a Kamehameha.
Meanwhile, on the picknick site, there was a great confusion. Trunks was sitting against a tree on the edge of the wood, trying hard not to cry, while Goten, a bizarre expression on his face, tried in vain to comfort him. Bra was howling in Gohan's arms, Pan was running around, searching for Bra's stuffed elephant she hoped would comfort her a little, Videl was shaking ChiChi, who had fainted when she heard that Bulma was dead, Krillin and 18 were fighting loudly about who should have helped, with Piccolo desperately trying to separate them by yelling at the top of his voice.
"You could both not have done anything! Even Dende was unable to heal her!"
This time, Krillin and 18 decided to team up against Piccolo: "Shut up!!!" they shouted in unison "This is none of Ð"
Suddenly, everyone was silent. They had sensed Vegeta powering up half across the Planet. Actually, they had thought he might do so, but not to that extent of power.
"He must have achieved Super Saiyajin 3" Trunks muttered, voicing eventually what they all thought. Without another word he took off and sped in direction of the flaring ki of his father. Everyone followed him, Gohan carrying a still unconscious ChiChi in his arms.
Trunks was first to reach Vegeta and Goku. They were so absorbed in the fight they didn't even notice them coming.
"Otousan!!!" He couldn't believe what he saw. That expression in his eyes... He'd already seen it somewhere. Then he remembered. Ten years ago, he had first encountered that look... It was what he had seen when he had watched Buu's eyes. He still hung shocked in the sky when a powerful ki blast shot by Vegeta raced straight at him. He snapped back to reality only when he heard a scream.
"Oniisan!" The beam was only a few feet away from his face when he saw a tiny figure phase in sight in front of it. The attack hit her full, tearing her clothes and even spots on her skin. She let out a heart piercing scream of agony that absolutely everyone could hear for miles.
"Bra!!!" Trunks raced down after her, catching her a mere six feet from the ground. Everyone gathered around them.
The scream reached behind Vegeta's fury, stirring something inside of him. While the others were crowded around Bra, he quickly took off in direction of Capsule Corporation. He purposely dropped something on Trunks' head.
"Ouch", Trunks exclaimed. Something had hit his head. When he saw what it was, his heart did a leap of joy. A bag of senzu Beans!
When the dome-shaped buildings of the Capsule Corporation complex came in sight, Vegeta landed an headed towards a large hangar. At the entrance, he put his open hand against a computer screen to scan his fingerprints, not wanting to damage the building. "User identified. Access allowed." it said with a metallic voice and the large doors opened. He disappeared inside. Shortly later the roof slid to the side and a spaceship shot in the clear blue sky.
Duh, I should get drunk more often. I wrote the last 5,5 paragraphs in a row! (Normally I take 2 days or more to get one together)
I would like to notify (uh, I still mistrust my dictionary) that there is no real reason whatsoever why my chapters end where they end, but just how much I can write at a time and the first place possible I think I can cut. When I finish the story I'm gonna re-edit it and make this more logical.
I got no ideas for this part of the story! I wanna get to the really interesting part, but I don't want it to come too soon! Please give me ideas what could happen to Vegeta in space!
Sorry for all those author's notes. They just piled up during the last three months.
And please review! Or I'll get even slower!
