Vegeta's Diary
Chapter 5
I slowly opened my eyes. The vision was hazy, but I could make out two figures staring at me. We were back in the living room that much I could make out with my blurry vision.
Slowly, it cleared.
Nappa and Raddits were standing over me, worry clearly written all over their face.
Then they bombed me.
"What happened?"
"We were worried sick about you!"
"Where were you?"
"How in the name of Vegetasei did you get so injured?"
"What the heck were you doing out in the forest?"
And so on. I waited for them to stop.
After they did they stared at me and an uneasy silence filled the room.
The clock ticked.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
"WELL?!?!" Raddits shouted.
I just stared at them (with the ghostliest face I could muster) until I knew they were creeped.
"Is it true that Freeza destroyed Vegetasei?" I whispered.
They looked a little shocked at first then they suddenly found a new interest in the floor.
"Is it?" I asked a bit louder this time.
They didn't look at me, nor did they answer. But I was determined to get some answers.
"IS IT TRUE NAPPA? IS IT TRUE RADDITS?" I yelled, authority filling every inch of my voice.
I waited.
"Yes, yes it is." Nappa whispered.
"Why didn't you tell me Nappa?" He was trying to escape my gaze.
"We wanted you to get over the loss a little before letting you know the whole truth." He answered again.
I looked at the ground. They were only protecting me.
But questions still floated around in my mind.
"Why." I stammered a little. "Why did Freeza do this?"
"Because he's smart. At the rate our people were getting stronger, the possibility of one's genetic metamorphosis kicking in and emitting powerful enough ki was growing."
"WHAT?!?!" Nappa and I both yelled in union. I was seven and not yet familiar with the word metamorphosis, and Nappa was a simple man, who grew up in the countryside and did not bother learning 'fancy words'.
"The possibility of a super saiyan emerging was growing rapidly."
"Oh."
We all stood there for a few seconds wondering. On my part, that was the time I decided to buy a dictionary, in case I would be having communicational problems with Raddits.
"Well, now that we are done explaining, it's your turn young man."
Nappa stood with his hands on his hips, glaring down at me, on one side, while Raddits on my other was standing arms crossed also glaring.
"He-he." I smiled up innocently at them and they just stared down even more angrily.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
After all has been cleared up, with me getting grounded for a week (grumble, rusum-fusum-musum) we went to see Freeza. Nappa and I, that is.
His palace was kind of okay I guess. But it was way smaller than ours and way crummier looking. And the guards were all relaxed not like ours. They would even salute to the poorest of beggars who came to see father. And the garden wasn't pretty either and, and.
Fine, I might exaggerate a little when comparing saiyan things to freeza things.
But you got to admit; it wasn't as good as father's palace. Humph.
When we got inside we were led to the throne room. The walls were a grayish color with red spots here and there.
It was blood. I am sure. It smelled of it, and what else could it be?
I mean, I'm kinda sure Freeza wouldn't want to decorate his palace with red polka dots. Max purple.
Anyway, we got to the throne room. Nappa and I were about to enter, when one of the guards holded Nappa back.
We looked confused at the guard.
"Only the kid." He answered in a gruff voice.
"But I'm his bodyguard, I have to go everywhere with him! I-"
The guard cut him off.
"Only the kid, Freeza's orders."
Nappa looked confused at me.
I nodded that I would be okay.
"I'll wait for you at 'home'."
I nodded again and watched as Nappa left.
This did NOT smell right.
I was then shoved into the throne room.
"I see you three have gotten comfortable in your new home." He sat in his throne, with Zarbon and the pink guy on his two sides.
I did not answer.
"I shall give you your list of daily duties now." Duties? Does he mean .chores?
"You shall clean the elites rooms and if it's not spotless they have every right to beat you up, you shall wash the dishes every evening, clean the halls and cafeteria and wash the blooded clothes. Understood?"
I felt my jaws wanting to drop. Me? Do chores? Was this guy crazy?
"Well?"
"No. I am a prince and I will not do such shameful duties."
"What did you say?" The peaceful emperor vanished and the next thing I knew his tail was around my neck, chocking me.
"You little monkey, you will do as I say!" he punched me making me fly into the wall.
He then kicked me upwards, but before long he elbowed me down into the ground.
Before long I was on my fours, my back to the throne, though I was sure the two henchmen were enjoying themselves. Freeza stood in front of me, his legs opened wide like he was going to do an English split.
"Now, you monkey, you will do as I say, and crawl between my legs like the dog you are."
I stared through his legs. Never.
"Crawl!!!" He took the back of my head and pushed it forward.
I closed my eyes. I slowly started to crawl forwards.
But.
Just as soon as my body from the hips up was out, I stretched my legs and quickly pulled them forward, making the off-guard Freeza fall flat on his face.
I quickly took off and brushed against the guards. I heard commotion rise behind me. I ran faster.
"Wonderful Vegeta! What the heck did you get yourself into now?" I scowled myself under my breath.
I looked ahead. Two chutes. Big enough for me to slide through, but none of Freeza's guards. Perfect.
I quickly choose the right.
Man, this was better than the best slide I ever slid on. I barely kept myself from 'whoo'ing.
The slide ended roughly, with me landing with a grunt. I broke out of my prison of.
Ewww, garbage!
Mental Note: Never choose the right chute again.
I heard noises coming from the hall.
I quickly put a bucket over my head sliding down just enough to leave myself a peephole.
I saw two guards pass, searching.
Then something under me was moving.
Oh, no! This was a garbage truck!
I saw a guard look this way, and I slid down completely. Before I knew it (I don't know how) I was asleep.
After a while, the garbage and me where dropped out somewhere. I burst out once again, and saw the truck float off the distance.
I looked around.
This was the biggest garbage dump I have ever seen. The edges of it spread to the horizon.
I pulled myself out.
"Nice going Vegeta! Now you got yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere, with Freeza's men searching for you with a death sentence. Congratulations for a death wish well done!"
One more thing. To reviewers from every chapter: a big thank you to you all. ^^
