I was hyper when I wrote the last chapter. Can't you tell? Oh well. Thanks for reviewing. J Oh, and if you can think up any spiffy names for an oozaru/werewolf, email me at Sundance300@hotmail.com. You'll get recognition. Oh, big deal huh. ;)
Dr. Lobo exposed Vegeta and Bulma to rye, silver, and wolfs bane. Neither of them wanted to touch the substances, both anxious to get away from them. Having already seen Vegeta's strength and speed he decided it would be useless to test him for abnormal strength, so he tested Bulma. He had her lift up heavy lab equipment, which to everyone's surprise she did. After several hours and tissue samples later, the doctor informed them to stay inside when the moon was full.
"Does that mean we are werewolves?" Bulma asked, uncertain of the results of the tests.
"I'm pretty sure you are. But the only way to be certain is to see you turn into a wolf right before my eyes. And I probably still wouldn't believe it!" With that said and the test done for now, he left. Bulma didn't know how to react to the news, but Vegeta just shrugged it off. So what, he already was a wereape, how different could this be? But a thought kept nagging him, upsetting his confidence. How would the two genes react to each other? Neither of the doctors seemed concerned, had they thought of this? Did Dr. Lobo even know what he was or did he think he was human? He would know soon enough. The full moon was less than two weeks away and he wasn't planning on following doctor's orders.
1 week, 3 days later…
Both Bulma and Vegeta found themselves restless the day of the full moon. Vegeta had gone to train in the desert, but now he waited for the silver orb to show itself in the black of the sky. He watched the moon, feeling the familiar tingle in his tail. He also noticed some aches in his tense muscles, but found when he relaxed they almost disappeared. Then everything happened almost at once. He felt rather than saw the hair growing on his face, for he was suddenly blinded by the sudden brightness of the night orb. He felt himself grow both in width and height. He walked over to a small oasis to gaze in its small pool. Vegeta looked upon himself in the inky pool. His ears were very wolf-like. As were his eyes, which were orange with oval pupils. He turned to his tail, it was much fuller than the Oozaru tail, but still had its original flexibility. His body was sleeker, better proportioned, yet well muscled. His muzzle was finer, covered with soft black/dark brown fur, filled with sharp canine teeth, and a black nose at the tip. He walked over to a nearby mesa, testing his new form. He wasn't as clumsy as he was in Oozaru form, but he still and…Bang! And the ki wielding abilities.
He also had the urge to destroy everything he saw. He could sense the familiar Oozaru mind, but a new mind was also present. The wolf mind was stronger and more aggressive than the wereape mind. It only wanted to destroy kill and feast on flesh of those it killed. It was pure evil. Vegeta was actually afraid of it. He fought to stay in control, finding himself on the losing end. He remembered something he read on the computer while Bulma was working on it. The beast is good if the man is good; the beast is evil if the man is evil. Was his past catching up on him again? It seemed that way. All the evil, hate and anger in his heart fueled the strength of the beast. But he pure evil anymore, was he? He had help Kakkorott's brat and the midget. He didn't understand why, but he had. And he didn't want to destroy Chikyuu anymore. He held onto those thoughts and his years of training to handle the Oozaru mind, and finally pushed the wolf mind back. His confidence restored, Vegeta smirked at his reflection, or the closest thing to it that an Oozaru/werewolf could manage. This for would do nicely, he felt stronger. Instead of walking like a chimpanzee he walked with one foot in front of the other. He punched at the air, satisfied at the speed and accuracy of the punches.
He sensed another presence appear right next to him. Kakkorott! He turned and faced the Earth Saiyan.
"Wow Vegeta! What happened to you."
"Baka! I was bitten by a werewolf and now I'm a…" Vegeta wondered what he was. But Goku didn't seem to notice his pause and bombarded him with questions.
"What's a werewolf? Why do you look different? Vegeta, did you get a puppy, you smell like a dog…" By than Vegeta had tuned him out. Annoying baka! Then a great idea crossed his mind.
"Now I can beat you and reclaim my title as being the most powerful being in the universe. Mwhahahahahaha! Let's spar."
"Yeah, sure Vegeta. First, can we go find Bulma? Her dad called and said she ran outside. They can't find her and they want us to come and help."
"Nani! Why would I care where the onna is, she's not my problem."
"But Vegeta, who'll fix your gravity machine? Dr. Briefs will be so grief-stricken that he won't be able to fix it," Goku said in an innocent tone, as if he didn't know that he had just said something intelligent. Vegeta growled and headed towards Capsule Corp.
"Uhhhh…Vegeta, is it really a good idea to go in there like that?"
"Grrr…I can't help it. The moon is up."
"Oookaaaay…" Goku followed behind the henze (shape shifter).
Will they find Bulma? What will the other Z-fighters think? What other surprises are there along the way?
