Chapter 5:

 Mind Games

The next day, Goku sneaked into the hospital (The nurses had banned him as
he left the previous day due to totally depleting the hospital's food
supply...and his "I was just hungry!" excuse got him nowhere). Upon reaching
Vegeta's room, he began to wonder how Vegeta would take the news...Goku
decided that it would be a good idea to have Bulma start collecting
Dragonballs. He turned to access a pay phone, but a nurse started down the
corridor. He immediately ducked back into Vegeta's room.

"Kakorott! What the fuck are you doing here?"
"Vegeta...good to see you...Got any food?"
"No, you bastard! You made me go without dinner yesterday! And no, I don't
give a fuck just how hungry you were!"
"Oh calm down, Vegeta...I have some bad news."
"Oh shit"
"They don't believe you...not at all. In fact, they're pretty damn sure
you're on drugs"
"Fuck them! I don`t care what they think...they'll die regardless!"
"Honestly, Vegeta, I'm having trouble believing you myself!"

Several seconds later, a new hole was formed in the wall of Vegeta's
hospital room. Goku was expelled quite painfully by a Galic Gun, and soon
found himself falling towards the parking lot. He caught himself,
fortunately, and after shouting a few choice phrases at the large hole above
him, and then ran from the flood of energy blasts coming from the hospital
room.

"Fucking half brained monkey!"

Vegeta was severely angered. Not only did the monkey brained Kakkarot not
believe him, the others didn`t as well! He eventually gave up on trying to
convince them, and settled back into his bed. He realized his mistake too
late, and soon enough he had fallen asleep...

Back at the Capsule Corp., Goku had his wounds from Vegeta`s assorted
attacks bandaged up. Bulma was quite annoyed at Vegeta, and had to be
restrained in order to keep her from going to the hospital herself. Being
unable to fly, she would make a far easier target for an enraged Vegeta.
Night swiftly came, and they all retired to their respective rooms.

Vegeta opened his eyes, terrified at what might await him in Dreamworld. He
was pleasently suprised when he saw the face of his father. He was standing
in the throne room on Planet Vegeta, surrounded by assorted Saiyans. King
Vegeta sat in his throne, smiling at Vegeta. Vegeta rolled his eyes at the
utter lack of creativity Freddy was showing. Sure enough, within thirty
seconds, King Vegeta had transformed into Freddy, and the Saiyans had all
become Xenomorphs. Vegeta blasted the ceiling to bits, and as it rained down
on Freddy and the Xenos, he made his grand exit through the open roof. The
landscape started to change, and Vegeta soon found himself standing on the
surface of Namek. He waited for Frieza to appear, and was not disappointed.
Shocked at the predictability of the mind games, Vegeta blasted Frieza to
bits, and dropped back to the ground. This time, rather than reforming as
Frieza, Freddy appeared in front of Vegeta.

"Hello, Vegeta"
"Fucking bastard...what the hell do you want with me?"
"Come now, Vegeta...Must you be so rude"
"Freddy, I have no patience for your mind games. Tell me what you want, and
then let me go!"
"Impatient, are we? Patience is a virtue, my friend..."
"Fuck you!"
"Have it your way, Vegeta...I'll tell you. I wanted to talk...I encountered
a marvelous creature a few weeks ago...I'm sure you'll recognize it...After
all, you exterminated them!"

Freddy smiled at Vegeta, and gestured to his right. A snarling Xeno stood
there, preparing to strike. Vegeta fired an energy attack at it,
obliterating the foul creature.

"Naughty, naughty! Must we be so rude to the kind animals?"
"Kind animal my ass...You know what those things can do! Don't tell me you
actually trust them...You saw what they did to Kakkarot and I!"
"Hmph...We'll see about that. For now, Goodbye...oh, and here's a bit of a
"parting gift"...Have fun!"

Freddy pointed his glove at Vegeta, firing the razors off one by one. They
thudded into the prince's arms and legs. Vegeta fell to the ground, unable
to move, in great pain. The razors had penetrated many sensitive nerves; he
couldn't move even if he wanted to. Freddy looked at him one last time, then
turned and vanished into the landscape of Namek. Vegeta closed his eyes, and
fell back into the darkness.

"GOKU! Get your lazy ass over to the hospital right away! Vegeta had a bit
of an accident!"
"Oh shit...Bulma, do you have to be so loud? Damn...I've gotta get something
to eat..."
"Eat your fucking arm, just get over to the goddamn hospital!"

Goku, swearing loudly and holding his stomach, lurched out the doorway and
leapt into the air. After about thirty minutes, he arrived at the hospital.
Upon entering, several nurses walked up to him and attempted to throw him
out the door. Goku "accidentally" decapitated one of them, shutting the
group up. He proceeded to Vegeta`s room, only to find it blocked off with
yellow tape. Apparently Vegeta had been moved, thanks to the wall incident.
Goku asked a nurse (Rather, he grabbed her by the neck and threatened to
crush her if he was not given the information) where Vegeta had been moved
to, and was soon sitting in the intensive care unit. Vegeta was a
mess...full of holes in his arms and legs. "What the hell happened?",
thought Goku. A doctor walked by, and Goku motioned him over.

"What happened?"
"We have no idea...He went to sleep fine, however when we came back to check
on him, he was like this! It's almost like a bunch of razors impaled
him...but where are they?"
"Thank...thank you for your time...I have...to go for now..."

Goku was horrified. He began to run down the corridor, desperate to get home
and warn the others. He blasted out of the front entrance, and flew into the
air. He flew incredibly fast, at hundreds of miles per hour. The wind cut
into his face and hands, causing him to bleed. The blood obscured his
vision, and he hit a rather tall tree. Goku slowed down, and continued on.
After a few more minutes he reached the Briefs house. Stumbling in the
doorway, Goku yelled at Dr. Briefs, asking him where Bulma was. After
getting the need information, he ran into her room, only to find her asleep.
He shook her awake, afraid that she might not be able to wake up...but she
did. Goku told her what had happened, and told her not, under any
circumstances, to go to sleep. He then flew up (Out of the ceiling, to be
exact...severely pissing Bulma off), and towards the Kame House. Upon
arrival, he warned the assembled crew, and headed for his own house.
Goku landed in front of the large house in which he lived, and walked in
to the kitchen. Chi-Chi was washing dishes, Goten was doing homework, and
the Ox King was sitting at the table eating a small feast. Goku called them
together and told them the story. As with Bulma and the others, he warned
them not, under any circumstances, to sleep. Then he noticed something.

"Where's Gohan?"
"Our son got tired because of his workout with Videl...he's asleep in his
room."
"Oh...oh my god!"

Goku made a mad dash towards Gohan's closed door, and kicked it open...
