All out Attack
Thankfully the room was emptying. Goten was getting bored and tired of all these people that looked like they wore suits for a living and he was tired of wearing his own suit.. Well, his only suit that he owned and it was too small anyway. Soyna looked tired as well as she approached him with both Flint and Flare in tow.
The plan was, that she was going to take them home, make sure that they were settled in and he would stay and help out Trunks and Bra with whatever they needed. It looked like they needed help shooing everyone out of the hall, so that they could go home. After all, it was a rather trying day.
He wanted to go home too. Soyna did not look like her normal self and he wanted to make sure that she was going to be okay. She looked like she needed the rest. Not Flint and Flare who were very eager looking. They never seemed to tire out! At least, not when you wanted them too!
He could see that the Z crew was now the majority of the people in the room, but there still were way to many suits for his liking.
Trunk's was getting a pat on the back from Yamcha who looked as if he hadn't slept for a couple of days. He heard someone saying once that Yamcha and him was an item before Bulma met Vegeta. He couldn't see that, but from the look of him, maybe it was true. He wasn't about to be so tactless as to ask that stupid question at this funeral. Marron had arrived and was holding Juniors hand as if she were going to loose him. Junior looked like he was going to pass out any time now. Krillin and 18 stood close, by speaking in whispers to Goku and ChiChi. Yajerobi was there, standing back from the crowd and talking with Corin by the buffet. Ubu was standing with a girl that he did not know in a corner. Everyone was here, expect for Tien and the guy that looks like a mime, but they always tended to stay in the woods and were hard to get a hold of at the best of times.
But his biggest concern was his wife.
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked gently as she fetched the children's jackets and umbrellas. It was still drizzling outside.
She nodded. "Don't worry. Just make sure that Bra doesn't stress herself out to much," she said and glanced over to where Bra was standing with Raymond, well away from the rest. "She shouldn't be so upset in her current condition."
He blinked. Current Condition? What did that mean?
"Gee dad, you are so dense at times," Flint said as he was putting on his jacket. "She's pregers!"
Soyna frowned and placed her hand on his head. He winced. He remembered that she used to do that with Benot and Legen all the time to get them to calm down, too. "Thanks for being subtle," she said, her voice thick with sarcasm.
"No problem, mom," he said and winced further as she patted his head and told him to go wait in the car.
"I didn't know!" he said and looked over at Bra. She wasn't showing yet.
"Of course, you didn't. She is only two months along! Gee. You can be dense," she said with a smile and then gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder. "She is not listening to Raymond. Put your voice in. She may start to listen."
He nodded. He knew how it worked. Raymond was the doctor. He knew best, but they were all stubborn and said that they were fine whenever they were hurt. Bra was no different that way, even though, she tended to be a little easier to convince than the others or even him.
He nodded and went to bend down and kiss her but she was gone before he could. Well, he guessed that was pushing the mushy stuff a little bit.
...............
Cyrus had heard stories about how bad his grandpapa used to be, but he didn't believe them. Why should he? So he had a little bit of a foul temper. It was not much different that moms. Oma even used to say that he used to be someone that she was even scared of! He could not imagine Oma being scared of anyone. But seeing Vegeta looking at him like he was, he could understand how at one time, she could be scared of him.
He was terrifying to look at. His eyes were ablaze with sorrow and a fury that he didn't understand. His hair was soaked and draped down to his shoulders. His clothes were soaked and you could see that his muscles were straining to stay under control.
He may not train, but he knew what it looked like when you were trying to stop from powering up!
"Grandpapa?" he said in a whisper.
"You want to help me boy," his voice harsh, and so not like him. "Give them to me. I know they have to be in there. That kind of energy just does not disappear!" He saw Vegeta's arm dart out and he didn't know how he dodged it, but he thought it better if he does not let Vegeta get a hold of him. He heard Vegeta grunt and before he could look back, he felt himself being lifted off the ground. He wasn't quick enough to miss the hand that grabbed the hood of his jacket and pulled him back.
"Quit hiding who you really are! Show yourself!" Vegeta said from behind him. He had no idea what he was talking about! He quickly undid his jacket and struggled out of his coat. Vegeta looked stunned for a moment, as he looked at the empty coat.
"Grandpapa?" Cyrus said as he shivered in the rain. "I don't know what you want!" he said. He dropped the coat into the dirt and looked at him with those crazy looking eyes. He had never been so scared in his life! Grandpapa was desperate and he wanted something that he couldn't give.
"You do," he said in a hoarse voice. "You just don't know it yet."
Cyrus looked around for some sort of help but didn't see any. He slowly began to back away from Vegeta. "You can't run from me boy," he said. Cyrus knew that he was defiantly no match for Vegeta, but he knew that he just had to wait until someone came home that was! Legen was not going to be any help. He was most likely on the computer gaming right now. He wouldn't notice a thing!
Where did Benot go after they ate? He didn't see him leave? Did he go home? He hoped so.
He started to run. It was the only thing that he could think of. He ran and managed to dodge Vegeta's hands once more but was once again caught tight in his grip and this time, there was no way that he was going to be able to get out of the sweater he was wearing. Soon he was staring right in the face of fear himself. "You have to have it," Vegeta said, his voice full of desperation. He wished he could give him what he wanted. He would have like to see Oma, for just one more day too. But he had no idea as to why Vegeta thought that he could do such a thing! His eyes softened and looked they were starting to water. The grip loosened on his arms. "Just one more day." His eyes were looking at him, as if he was searching for something.
"I don't know." he started and then found himself thrown aside.
"You do! You do!" Vegeta said and shook his head. He stood still in the rain for a bit, with his hand pressed to his forehead. He found himself sitting in the mud staring up at a Vegeta he did not know. He was starting to feel the familiar tightness in his chest and he reached for his inhaler, but it was not there. He looked over to his yellow slicker and there it was, encrusted in mud. It wouldn't do him any good like that.
Vegeta lowered his hand and looked up at the rain clouds and allowed the rain to wash over his face.
"You just need the right motivation," Vegeta said in a much calmer voice than before. It was actually even scarier than his other voice!
He could hear himself start to wheeze as he tried to get to his feet now. It was more of a panicked scramble, but he couldn't get much ground. The earth was so wet that he slipped. He cried out as he saw Vegeta raise his hand and point his finger. You could see the tell tale flickering of light that was starting to envelope his body and the sparks start to fly.
He closed his eyes and threw his arms up into his face. He didn't want to see what it looked like to die!
...............
Benot was shocked to see Rose at the funeral. She said that her parents owned the hall and the catering company. He was more shocked to get sympathy from her. She turned out to be a really nice person when she wasn't calling him blueberry head, or he was calling her strawberry butt.
He didn't realize the time that he lost talking with her and when he reemerged in to the throngs of the people, he could see that most of them were gone now. Which was fine by him. The only one left in his family was Goten and he looked like he was busy consoling Bra right now.
He quickly gathered his stuff and flew home, despite the rain. The rain felt good. Refreshing almost. It was a long, long day. He was tired. He was looking forward to loosing his thoughts in a video game. He didn't want to think about the funeral anymore.
When he felt the familiar rise in Vegeta's-- he was pretty sure that it was his-- Chi, he was shocked to see his aura in the yard.
He was more shocked to see Cyrus cringing as Vegeta pointed at him and looking like he was about to attack! Cyrus! How? Why? He didn't think, but just reacted. He lunged at Vegeta with all he got and tried to tackle him. He knew that he was nowhere near his strength, but he couldn't let him hurt Cyrus! Vegeta turned the attack on him and it got him good. He didn't have time to block it completely, but he stopped a bit of it. It still sent him sliding into the side of the house and he couldn't get up after it. He could feel a couple of ribs crack and he could see that his right arm was not twisted the right way.
Vegeta turned back to Cyrus. Cyrus was panting and holding his chest. He wasn't wearing his inhaler and he looked like he was scrambling to get away. He tried to call out to him, but the action of taking a breath it caused pain to flare up in his chest, that he had never felt before.
He heard Vegeta growl lightly, "I am not asking much."
That was when he saw his mom jump into the picture. He did not know where she came from. There was the truck, with Flint and Flare's faces plastered to the windows with large curious eyes.
"I just want a day!" Vegeta said and let a flash of energy go from his finger, right at Cyrus, who screamed and threw his hands up over his face to try to brace for the attack. Mom somehow caught a bit of it and deflected it. Not enough though. He could see the rain turn red as Cyrus fell hard onto the muddy ground.
Mom screamed. He had never heard her scream like that before. No, that was wrong. He did hear that sound before. It was the time that he died. She made that same awful sound that was so full of anguish that it was unbearable.
Benot struggled to his feet, despite the pain that he was feeling. He had to check on Cyrus, but he froze where he was.
Mom changed.
Vegeta changed.
Vegeta dark eyes turned wide with horror. He wasn't too sure if it was because he just realized what he had done or what mom changed in to. It wasn't the transformations that they were used to. Hell, they hardly even went to level 4 because they couldn't hold it for longer than half an hour in Vegeta's case and 10 minutes in Soyna's case.
Mom was no longer mom. She was different that she was before. When mom transformed before, she was always more beautiful than she was in the last one. It was an advantage for her. He knew that she used that advantage on Goten lots of times. She purposely wouldn't transform, that next level up, for a while and then boom and he would always be flabbergasted. It worked to some extent on everyone else, but the best on Goten. This change was something he did not know about. He only heard a little bit about what happens with those with Saiyian blood and a full moon and turning into giant apes. He couldn't see that, but then, he wasn't born with a tail.
But seeing his mother looking like an animal scared him. She grew a little bit, but she wasn't a giant. She went from his beautiful mother to this creature in a burst of energy. Even her aura was wrong. She usually had a green aura, and here it was red. Brilliant red and it looked almost, well, thick. She hovered over Vegeta now, being a barrier between him and the fallen Cyrus. Her whole body was thick with muscle and red fur. Her clothes no longer existed on her body. Her tail was flashing wildly behind her and she had a snout. She looked like a werewolf! The worst part of the whole thing, was her eyes. They were not his mother's eyes, they were black and vacant and full of pure fury.
It happened so quickly. She looked down at the fallen body of Cyrus and her eyes actually flared red and she turned towards Vegeta. Vegeta had powered up as well but he was at Level 4, as they called it. He had no idea where his mother was.
Mom let out a growl and opened her maw of a mouth wide and let out a blast that Vegeta dodged. By then, her feet had finally touched the ground one of her taloned toes dug into the ground and she lunged all out at Vegeta. It was so hard to see! She was so fast. Vegeta was even shocked at the speed. You could see it.
Some of the dirt that was flung by her foot hit Cyrus, who sat up, as if he was startled. He was all right! He smiled with great relief as he tried to walk towards him. He couldn't move his arm. He was quite certain of that and his ribs ached.
He kept one eye on the vicious battle that was going on. He had seen his mom spar so often that he was used to her moves, but they were different here. It was like the time, when he was little; when Krad arrived. she fought differently there. She fought without mercy and fought to kill!
She was planning on killing Vegeta!
And from the looks of it, Vegeta had the same plan in mind for her!
"MOMMY!" Cyrus yelled and looked up at the two fast moving figures, they were not sparing. No energy was held back as the punches landed on each other and the kicks flew. Cyrus put a muddy had on his face. He could see that there was a cut there, but he was more worried about the wheezing sound that he was starting to hear, coming from his chest. He needed that inhaler before he couldn't breath at all!
He looked up at the battle for the booms of the punches stopped. They had their hands locked and both were growling. Mom looked terrifying! Vegeta looked furious. He didn't know what was going on! Despite the pain, he ran to Cyrus. He was standing now and there were tears running down his face, mixing with the blood from the cut on his cheek. "Benot," Cyrus gasped. "Stop them!"
He just looked at him. How was he going to stop them! He couldn't even get close to Vegeta before. "We have to get you inside," he said. He had to get him away from them, before they killed them, while they went on their rampage.
"He has it in him," he heard Vegeta roar. "Everyone else gets another chance. Why can't I!" He yelled and kicked at mom, who just roared back at him and bit his arm. Vegeta screamed and looked as if he were going to put a fist through her skull. He winced and looked away. He covered Cyrus face.
..........
Goten felt it. He looked towards the others, to see if any of them felt that odd power. He could see that they did.
Pan's eyes grew wide with shock as she helped Trunks who fell to his knees and looked stunned. He looked to Gohan who dropped the plate that he was holding. "What the hell is that?" he heard his brother say.
"Dad?" He heard Trunks say as he caught his breath.
It was looking at his own father that scared him. "Goten. We have to go now!" He didn't have time to respond as his father grabbed his arm and brought his fingers to his forehead, but by then he was to stunned to speak. He knew that something bad had happened and involved Soyna and Vegeta.
At first he didn't understand what he was seeing. It took a few seconds for it to sink in. It just didn't seem like it was possible. Vegeta was ready to pound his fist through the skill of a furry monster. The monster had its mouth firmly planted on the Vegeta's other arm.
Then he realized that the monster was his wife! The red aura was one that he had seen her reach once, she didn't transform, because he had stopped her before she could reach this far, and was very grateful for that right now.
Vegeta's fist hit the target and with the amount of force that he knew that Vegeta put in that fist, she should have been knocked to the ground. But she wasn't. She just let out an awful howl and let go of the arm with her teeth and they flew apart for a second.
"He didn't mean it!"
He blinked and looked to where Cyrus stood, covered in mud and soaked with rain. Benot had him by one shoulder and was trying to drag him back away from the battle zone. Cyrus looked like he was having trouble breathing.
"Mom!" Cyrus cried and started to cough. He then saw the blood that covered his right cheek. He was bleeding! He got hurt! He ran forward but was knocked down by the boom of Vegeta and Soyna's next hit on each other. They were both out of control!
He then realized that Benot was injured as well and was struggling to stay on his own feet. He looked like he was ready to drop. His right arm sure didn't look right.
The two warriors separated. Vegeta was no longer at level 4. He had dropped back down to normal. Soyna was not done with him yet though, and as Vegeta started to sink, he saw the creature that was once his wife let out a growl, throw it's arms wide, and bind Vegeta in her famous Solar Bind, at least a variation of it. Her usual attack was one band of energy that she usually just wound once around the person and knocked them to the ground. This attack looked very similar but it bound Vegeta in an electric looking cord from his feet to his shoulders and it looked like it was tightening.
Vegeta screamed.
He had forgotten about his father, with his concern for his wife and children that were in the way of the battle. Dad appeared behind her and swung and punched her hard in the back.
She buckled briefly but quickly turned herself around and lunged back at Goku, with surprising speed.
Cyrus coughed harder. He picked up the boy and put him under one arm. He could feel his whole little body shaking. He grabbed Benot by the other and made sure that it was the uninjured arm. He ran them towards the house, so they wouldn't be in the center of the storm. "Dad," Cyrus gasped. "He didn't mean it." He said and coughed harder. He patted his son on the back and looked at Benot who looked horrified as he was watching the battle.
"Mom is a monster," Benot whispered. "That's not natural, is it?"
He didn't know the answer to that. He really didn't know. He looked up to see his father doing a pretty good job with keeping up with her, but she had an advantage. She was willing to kill to get the job done. He could see it in those dark vacant eyes. Dad never went in to battle with the intention of killing someone.
"Goten!" He heard his father yell as he avoid a fist in the jaw, only to get kicked in the stomach and thrown down into the muddy ground. Soyna turned back to Vegeta, who had finally stopped screaming but was still struggling against the solar bind. He had freed one arm. The energy seemed to grow in the white light and Vegeta's struggles stopped. He clenched his teeth tightly as if he were trying to stop a scream.
"Stop her dad!" Cyrus yelled at him between the deep gulps of air he was taking. "Stop her!"
"The tail!" Goku yelled at him and he lunged at her again. "Cut it off!"
Goten looked down at Cyrus, who was wheezing and shaking and crying and.and Benot, who looked like he was on the verge of collapsing but still riveted to the monster that his mother had become.
She gave Goku another hard blow and he could see his father falter. He had to act and act quickly.
"Soyna!" he yelled but she did not respond. She grabbed Goku by one of his legs and began to swing him around.
"MOMMY," Cyrus said and started to cough quite badly. Benot looked terrified at what he was seeing. He had to get him to the doctor. He had to get Benot to the doctor. He had to cut off her tail.
Goku went flying with a scream and her attention was now turned back to Vegeta. He had a leg free now but he looked like he was in serious pain. Soyna pulled a hand back and he saw the horrible energy that she was building up there. He did the only thing he could think of, and that was to create a destructo disk. He was not very good with it. It was not a technique that he master, but he knew enough. If she stayed intent on trying to kill Vegeta, he could throw it and slice off the tail that she had refused to cut off until this point.
She let out a terrible roar.
The energy that bound Vegeta vanished in a flash. It startled Vegeta for he fell over as he did so, but the ball of energy that she was preparing to throw was growing. It looked like he couldn't get up. Where the energy band had been, it looked as if he was burnt.
He threw the disk that he created.
.......
Wow! Does he cut off her tail? Will Vegeta live? What the hell has Soyna turned into? What will happen next? Stay tuned!
Thankfully the room was emptying. Goten was getting bored and tired of all these people that looked like they wore suits for a living and he was tired of wearing his own suit.. Well, his only suit that he owned and it was too small anyway. Soyna looked tired as well as she approached him with both Flint and Flare in tow.
The plan was, that she was going to take them home, make sure that they were settled in and he would stay and help out Trunks and Bra with whatever they needed. It looked like they needed help shooing everyone out of the hall, so that they could go home. After all, it was a rather trying day.

They were not his mother's eyes, they were black and vacant and full of pure fury.
It happened so quickly. She looked down at the fallen body of Cyrus and her eyes actually flared red and she turned towards Vegeta. Vegeta had powered up as well but he was at Level 4, as they called it. He had no idea where his mother was.
Mom let out a growl and opened her maw of a mouth wide and let out a blast that Vegeta dodged. By then, her feet had finally touched the ground one of her taloned toes dug into the ground and she lunged all out at Vegeta. It was so hard to see! She was so fast. Vegeta was even shocked at the speed. You could see it.
Some of the dirt that was flung by her foot hit Cyrus, who sat up, as if he was startled. He was all right! He smiled with great relief as he tried to walk towards him. He couldn't move his arm. He was quite certain of that and his ribs ached.
He kept one eye on the vicious battle that was going on. He had seen his mom spar so often that he was used to her moves, but they were different here. It was like the time, when he was little; when Krad arrived. she fought differently there. She fought without mercy and fought to kill!
She was planning on killing Vegeta!
And from the looks of it, Vegeta had the same plan in mind for her!
"MOMMY!" Cyrus yelled and looked up at the two fast moving figures, they were not sparing. No energy was held back as the punches landed on each other and the kicks flew. Cyrus put a muddy had on his face. He could see that there was a cut there, but he was more worried about the wheezing sound that he was starting to hear, coming from his chest. He needed that inhaler before he couldn't breath at all!
He looked up at the battle for the booms of the punches stopped. They had their hands locked and both were growling. Mom looked terrifying! Vegeta looked furious. He didn't know what was going on! Despite the pain, he ran to Cyrus. He was standing now and there were tears running down his face, mixing with the blood from the cut on his cheek. "Benot," Cyrus gasped. "Stop them!"
He just looked at him. How was he going to stop them! He couldn't even get close to Vegeta before. "We have to get you inside," he said. He had to get him away from them, before they killed them, while they went on their rampage.
"He has it in him," he heard Vegeta roar. "Everyone else gets another chance. Why can't I!" He yelled and kicked at mom, who just roared back at him and bit his arm. Vegeta screamed and looked as if he were going to put a fist through her skull. He winced and looked away. He covered Cyrus face.
..........
Goten felt it. He looked towards the others, to see if any of them felt that odd power. He could see that they did.
Pan's eyes grew wide with shock as she helped Trunks who fell to his knees and looked stunned. He looked to Gohan who dropped the plate that he was holding. "What the hell is that?" he heard his brother say.
"Dad?" He heard Trunks say as he caught his breath.
It was looking at his own father that scared him. "Goten. We have to go now!" He didn't have time to respond as his father grabbed his arm and brought his fingers to his forehead, but by then he was to stunned to speak. He knew that something bad had happened and involved Soyna and Vegeta.
At first he didn't understand what he was seeing. It took a few seconds for it to sink in. It just didn't seem like it was possible. Vegeta was ready to pound his fist through the skill of a furry monster. The monster had its mouth firmly planted on the Vegeta's other arm.
Then he realized that the monster was his wife! The red aura was one that he had seen her reach once, she didn't transform, because he had stopped her before she could reach this far, and was very grateful for that right now.
Vegeta's fist hit the target and with the amount of force that he knew that Vegeta put in that fist, she should have been knocked to the ground. But she wasn't. She just let out an awful howl and let go of the arm with her teeth and they flew apart for a second.
"He didn't mean it!"
He blinked and looked to where Cyrus stood, covered in mud and soaked with rain. Benot had him by one shoulder and was trying to drag him back away from the battle zone. Cyrus looked like he was having trouble breathing.
"Mom!" Cyrus cried and started to cough. He then saw the blood that covered his right cheek. He was bleeding! He got hurt! He ran forward but was knocked down by the boom of Vegeta and Soyna's next hit on each other. They were both out of control!
He then realized that Benot was injured as well and was struggling to stay on his own feet. He looked like he was ready to drop. His right arm sure didn't look right.
The two warriors separated. Vegeta was no longer at level 4. He had dropped back down to normal. Soyna was not done with him yet though, and as Vegeta started to sink, he saw the creature that was once his wife let out a growl, throw it's arms wide, and bind Vegeta in her famous Solar Bind, at least a variation of it. Her usual attack was one band of energy that she usually just wound once around the person and knocked them to the ground. This attack looked very similar but it bound Vegeta in an electric looking cord from his feet to his shoulders and it looked like it was tightening.
Vegeta screamed.
He had forgotten about his father, with his concern for his wife and children that were in the way of the battle. Dad appeared behind her and swung and punched her hard in the back.
She buckled briefly but quickly turned herself around and lunged back at Goku, with surprising speed.
Cyrus coughed harder. He picked up the boy and put him under one arm. He could feel his whole little body shaking. He grabbed Benot by the other and made sure that it was the uninjured arm. He ran them towards the house, so they wouldn't be in the center of the storm. "Dad," Cyrus gasped. "He didn't mean it." He said and coughed harder. He patted his son on the back and looked at Benot who looked horrified as he was watching the battle.
"Mom is a monster," Benot whispered. "That's not natural, is it?"
He didn't know the answer to that. He really didn't know. He looked up to see his father doing a pretty good job with keeping up with her, but she had an advantage. She was willing to kill to get the job done. He could see it in those dark vacant eyes. Dad never went in to battle with the intention of killing someone.
"Goten!" He heard his father yell as he avoid a fist in the jaw, only to get kicked in the stomach and thrown down into the muddy ground. Soyna turned back to Vegeta, who had finally stopped screaming but was still struggling against the solar bind. He had freed one arm. The energy seemed to grow in the white light and Vegeta's struggles stopped. He clenched his teeth tightly as if he were trying to stop a scream.
"Stop her dad!" Cyrus yelled at him between the deep gulps of air he was taking. "Stop her!"
"The tail!" Goku yelled at him and he lunged at her again. "Cut it off!"
Goten looked down at Cyrus, who was wheezing and shaking and crying and.and Benot, who looked like he was on the verge of collapsing but still riveted to the monster that his mother had become.
She gave Goku another hard blow and he could see his father falter. He had to act and act quickly.
"Soyna!" he yelled but she did not respond. She grabbed Goku by one of his legs and began to swing him around.
"MOMMY," Cyrus said and started to cough quite badly. Benot looked terrified at what he was seeing. He had to get him to the doctor. He had to get Benot to the doctor. He had to cut off her tail.
Goku went flying with a scream and her attention was now turned back to Vegeta. He had a leg free now but he looked like he was in serious pain. Soyna pulled a hand back and he saw the horrible energy that she was building up there. He did the only thing he could think of, and that was to create a destructo disk. He was not very good with it. It was not a technique that he master, but he knew enough. If she stayed intent on trying to kill Vegeta, he could throw it and slice off the tail that she had refused to cut off until this point.
She let out a terrible roar.
The energy that bound Vegeta vanished in a flash. It startled Vegeta for he fell over as he did so, but the ball of energy that she was preparing to throw was growing. It looked like he couldn't get up. Where the energy band had been, it looked as if he was burnt.
He threw the disk that he created.
.......
Wow! Does he cut off her tail? Will Vegeta live? What the hell has Soyna turned into? What will happen next? Stay tuned!
