Chapter 4
After Math of Vegeta's Awakening.
Trunks was astonished by his mothers story to this point, and from the looks of it she's was nowhere even done yet, but if what she was telling him now was the absolute truth a part deep down in him knew he was in for a hell of a surprise somewhere down the road. His thoughts however were interrupted as his mother continued with her tale.
"To tell you the truth I did not expect Vegeta to perform as well as he had. Gokou and the others had no idea that Vegeta was one of my creations. They were horrified as he touched down on the battlefield; poor little Gohan almost had a heart attack as he felt Vegeta's power. You see like all the other Sayian's that had landed so far on this planet none of them had learned how to conceal they're power levels so why should I make they're prince any different?
Well unfortunately he had to be different, you see I just didn't have the technology to make the prince as strong as he truly was in real life, sure my biomechanics were superior to anything else on earth but Vegeta's bio make up could only withstand so much power rushing through his small body. As it stood upon release from my lab Vegeta's body was able to withstand a power level of eighteen thousand and that's was his maximum output. Anything more and his body would begin to eat its self away from the concentration of energy.
The battle between the two was on a level in which this world had never seen, Gokou's afterlife training had made him over ten times stronger then he had been when he had died. I had made Vegeta as strong as he was because I had hopped to work Gokou up to his level over the years, how could I have known that he would push my creation to its limit they're first fight? It was amazing, Vegeta kept total pace with Gokou never giving Gokou a moments of peace or mercy, just like I had programmed him. It wasn't until Gokou had given it his all and blasted Vegeta into the atmosphere with his super Kahmehameha that Vegeta truly surprised me. When he had fallen he should of admitted defeat and retreated, but instead he went on a rampage and turned Ozarou! I was so surprised that stood there like a stone statue, unmoving and thoughtless.
My computers went haywire with the drastic changed within my creation; his power had increased ten fold from eighteen thousand to one hundred and eighty thousand. But it didn't last but more then a few seconds, because of the mass increase in power his body began to eat away at him. He had no idea it was happening but that wasn't my concern at the moment, because his power level was so high he quickly made mince meat out of what little fight Gokou had left in him and if it wasn't for little Gohan and Kurilin then surly Vegeta would have killed Gokou that day.
I had no idea that my Biomechanical creation could become Ozarou I never even considered it a possibility because he wasn't a real Sayian. How stupid I was as I look back at it this day. AI is a powerful thing Trunks and mixing free will with a body that is almost completely human is a dangerous combination because the possibilities for a manifestation are almost limitless now. So strong was the programming in Vegeta to compete with Gokou that he manipulated his very own genetic structure with just a memory from Raditz's DNA that enabled him to create and release the globe of energy that triggered the transformation. Vegeta turning Ozarou was the first clue that something was happening and I just ignored it. What a mistake that truly was.
It took forever to repair the cellular damage Vegeta's manifestation had caused himself. I gave him memories of retreating to one of Freiza's planets fill the gap in time he would have when I woke him from the repairs. It was during this time that I had sent a biomechanical version of my self with little Gohan and Kurilin to fetch the dragon balls from Namik. They needed me but I could not leave Vegeta unattended there was too much to do while they were gone and Gokou him self was in the hospital recovering from his fight with Vegeta. It was during this time that I had visited him in the hospital that I told him what Vegeta truly was. I had never seen Gokou so happy, it was like we were kids again Trunks.
He couldn't wait till Vegeta was fixed and he could fight him again. He went on and on about the fight and how it felt so real, about his training in the after life and how he had feared he wouldn't make it back in time to save everyone. The time seemed to fly by, before we knew it the nurses were coming in and kicking me out because visiting hours had long sense expired. I had said my goodbyes and returned to my lab where I worked night and day repairing my creation determined to make him stronger this time so that Gokou would have his rival.
I chose to remove Vegeta's tail permanently. I could not take the risk that he would turn Ozarou at a later date when he was faced with loosing another battle. It was during these minor changes I was making that I discovered something truly remarkable. Vegeta's body as it was being repaired was becoming stronger! The data readouts were remarkable; he had increased his power by several thousands. I couldn't believe it, Gokou would be truly happy when next him and Vegeta squared off.
I had just finished your repairs and woken you from the coma I had placed you in when something unexpected happened. You came out of your sleep in a frantic rage destroying the lab around you screaming about Freiza and the dragon balls; I had been knocked unconscious during your rage. Vegeta then stole Napa's space pod and shot after the planet Namik leaving me to awaken alone and injured.
I rushed to the hospital where I found Chichi tending to Gokou she wasn't abusing him or yelling at him like she normally was, when I had walked in there she was actually being nice to him and caring for him with the love a wife is supposed to have for her husband. When she saw me in the doorway her features became ghostly and I had to smile slightly at the rush of pride I felt from knowing I had knocked some sense into her.
Gokou was then told of the situation and how Vegeta had increased his power severely and would be much harder then he was the first time they had fought. A grave look appeared on Gokou's face as I told him this information. What a stoke of luck we had when at that very moment I was done telling Gokou my story Yajarobi appeared with a bag of fresh Senzu beans. He quickly gulped one down and rushed to save his son and Kurilin from my creation that would surly try to destroy them if they came in contact with one another.
Gokou rushed to my fathers for his space ship that he had asked my father to build him some time ago. What luck that it was actually finished except the installation of the cappuccino machine. Insisting that he did not need it Gokou blasted off after my creation to save his friends. Never in a million years would I have expected that Freiza would actually be there on Namik as well in search of the very same things we were and that he was one hundred times stronger then we had ever imagined.
It is here on Namik that I think Vegeta truly became alive, where the spirit of the real Vegeta some how merged with my creation. It's the only way to explain the anomalies. When Freiza killed my creation, the being brought back was not the life of Gokou's toy but that of the true prince Vegeta. I never even put two and two together until just a few hours ago Trunks. I still have yet to figure out how it happened in the first place." Bulma is silent for a moment before she stands and faces Vegeta's motionless body. Softly she caresses his cheek with her right hand as she says her next sentence.
"Somewhere inside him is the true prince Vegeta, laying dormant emerging only at times when his will is stronger then that of my programming. Locked in the confines of a body that is not his own yet so similar his soul would mistake it for its own, willingly assimilating with this biomechanical being even though he wasn't in complete control."
Bulma turns to her son and begins to walk out of the lab. "Come on Trunks lets go eat, there is much more to tell you and I am not about to do it on an empty stomach. Agreeing one hundred present with his mother on this idea Trunks obediently follows his mother upstairs.
It isn't until the two of them are gone that the Prince of All Sayians smirks his trade mark smirk and his eyes become alive again in the darkness. "That's right Onna you have much more to tell indeed and when your story is done and our son understands fully what you have done you will finally pay for what you have done to me. I'll make damn sure of it. No one enslaves The Prince of all Sayians and gets away with it…not even you my pretty little Onna." Vegeta releases a small chuckle of manic laughter before his eyes become glassy once more and his body goes back into the state of rest, which Bulma had placed him in once he had returned.
