Chapter 22: To save their one chance, before it's too late.
Vegeta's glorious transformation had filled the usually dark skies with unspeakable light, he had achieved the one greatness that was unreachable by many, apart from his one and only rivals Goku, but now he and Goku were equals.
In addition, Vegeta would make certain that he would keep up with the lower class sayajin, even if it meant his life.
*I can feel it; I have achieved what I was so long denied, Kakkarot.. You are no longer having the upper hand, the glory that I alone should have had* he perched in his ego mane festering mind.
Vegeta opened his eyes fully, his features were still illuminated by the read fiery ball of energy that he held on the tip of his erect fingers, he looked toward the ground where an astound Tempo stood, his purple lips slightly parted as he stared back at the Sayajin Prince in all his glory.
"I dare you to observe me, observe me for the final time Tempo, for I will end your pitiful and disgraceful existence within seconds!" Vegeta called down to the invalid icejins, the red ball of toxic energy hummed with eagerness.
Tempo snarled at Vegeta's newfound confidence, moments ago he has the prince under his thumb with total control over him, now he had lost it to a legend. A legend he had hopes was actually a myth.
"Your ego had risen like the a storm Vegeta, uninhibited and unstoppable, but you will not shed your bolt of lightning onto me, without purging certain things that you hold dear" Certain that it would make Vegeta consider his actions, Tempo had given him a final warning.

From a short distance the earths defenders, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo and Bongo watched. In utter amazement at what had taken place.
"Oh. Kami, what just.. Happened?" Questioned Krillin, his mouth hanging ajar.
"He is a super sayajin, just like my dad! how did it happened ?..Piccolo?" Asked Gohan his mentor whom stood close behind him.
Piccolo was watching with a different expression on his face.
*Vegeta did it, but at what cost, I can sense his newfound arrogance, and defiance along with an unspeakable energy. knowing what he was like before. What are we in for this time? * Piccolo wondered, the Namekian moved forward to stand along side Gohan.
"I don't know Gohan, but I do know that we will have to watch out for him, he could be unpredictable ar this point, and with all that energy there is no measure to the damage he may cause" Piccolo said in his blunt tone.
Gohan did not acknowledge him, he only continued to stare.
Behind them, Bongo was also watching.
*This is utterly bizarre, what in the world id he? I have never seen such a transformation in all my days. but I did sense something, something deep within you Vegeta. like a bubbling volcano and you finally exploded into an unstoppable frenzy"
Bongo spoke in his mind, he was indeed impressed by such a display, and then he saw a movement that was close by to Vegeta, turning toward it he gasped lunging forward with his hand outstretched.
" No, what are you doing? you will be killed!" he cried out.
****
Vegeta had had enough.
Vegeta threw his head back in a defiant laugh.
"Fool, you think I am sentimental to those pathetic wenches you hold captive? I care only for my own glory, not for that of others. And now, I will prove that by destroying you finally once and for all!" His eager fingers started to coil around the surface of the blast; pulling it back, he then threw it forward, sending a call of anger out with it.
The crimson ki ball left his hands, and began a decent toward Tempo the ship and his men, the men whom had been watching from the ground began to flee, away from the ship knowing it would also be destroyed, so they fled into the bushes.
Tempo coolly stood his ground, smiling at the blast as it came closer and closer to end his life.
Both he and Vegeta were startled from their expectations when the ball of energy stopped in mid air.
"What? what is this?" Vegeta demanded.
Beneath the blast, holding it in its position was Goku.
"I cant let you do this Vegeta" Goku called out, his eyes shut tightly, using all his strength to stop the ball from making its assault on the ship that contained the girls.
However, the blast was filled with toxic energy, energised by the angered and poisoned mind of Vegeta.
Goku was experiencing great pain, and his energy was being sucked out like a sponge which was strange considering he himself had the capabilities of a super sayajin.
*Something wrong, why am I loosing strength! * Goku though, at first it was different he felt capable to stop the ball from its descent, but now suddenly he couldn't.
****
Gohan lunged forward toward the battlefield, but was grabbed firmly but the collar of his gi by Piccolo's outstretched arm.
"No dad needs help, he is loosing his strength, something wrong. let me go Piccolo" Gohan demanded, tossing and turning in Piccolos grasp.
"No Gohan I cant let you go down there, but your right something is wrong" Piccolo answered, grapping the strong young half sayajin around the waist.
Bongo looked on as Goku was loosing more energy, he also knew that something was wrong, he had fought the sayajin before, and Goku was invincibly strong, beyond anything that existed on this earth.
*What is it Goku? * Bongo questioned. Coincidently Bongo took a moment to look back at Tempo, and then noticed something strange.
Tempo had his hand raised up toward Goku, im the centre of the ice-jin guardians palm was a blue, black glass sphere, the sphere was sucking energy from Goku's body, draining it straight trough the air in a long trail of light.
"There look! Its Tempo he is draining Goku's energy!" Screamed Bongo his eyes wide at the realisation.
The others also looked and realised the same thing.
Without a second though they all raced toward the battlefield, they had to do something at this point.
****
"Kakkarot, you imbecilic bastard. what in hells name are you trying to pull." Vegeta stipulated, balling his fist in anger at Goku's attempt at stopping his fatal assault on Tempo.
Goku was putting everything he had left into preventing the blast from destroying the ship.
"You. are going.. to kill them all .. Vegeta!" He belted out through his clenched teeth.
Vegeta was furious, baring his teeth he started to fly down toward Goku and the ki blast.
"You will not beat me again Kakkarot, for too long I have been pushed down in my ranks and rights, you will not make a fool of me and take this away from me!" Vegeta shrieked as he flew down toward Goku.
Goku did all he could, if he could not stop the ball he would have to deflect it, he had failed to take notice that Tempo was draining his energy from him, so he did what he had planned, seconds before Vegeta reached him, Goku changed the ki balls directory, sending it into any random direction except for the ship.
Vegeta watched as his one-ki blast went hurtling away in an unappointed direction, exploding on impact when it hit a Cliffside in the distance, destroying the solid rock landmark to dust.
He swang his head back toward Goku, the golden follicles on his head brightening up further as he headed down toward the weakened sayajin.
"Kakkarot I will kill you for that, how dare you interfere"
Goku was exhausted, he did not float but rather fell straight to the ground, landing on his back he bounced on impact then came to land against the rocky ground on his panting chest.
"DADDY!" Gohan called as he reached his fathers side, kneeling down he grasped the fabric over Goku's shoulder, shaking his father desperately for a response.
Goku didn't more; he was in a deep state of unconsciousness.
"Dad please, please you can't give up like this!" Gohan pleaded, shaking his father again, whilst he tried to revive his father, a pair of booted feet landed before him.
"Brat, move out of my way!" Vegeta demanded, Gohan looked up toward him, his eyes scowling at the super sayajin form of Vegeta.
Vegeta growled when Gohan didn't move.
The sayajin price didn't hesitate pulling back his boot, prepared to kick the young boy to kingdom come with his unstoppable strength.
A blast landed directly between the two, then in its place landed a confident Piccolo.
"Not today Vegeta,"
Vegeta only smirked at Piccolos attempts at saving Gohan, chuckling as he watched both Krillin and Bongo land on the ground close behind them.
"All of you, try to somehow get to the girls, we cant let him take them, use any means necessary." Piccolo ordered, not removing his deep drilling gaze from Vegeta, hidden in the back of his mind was the panic that Isabelle was suffering away from his reach.
"Right!" Krillin and Bongo said in union, Bongo took off first directly toward the ship and Tempo; Krillin kneeled down Beside Gohan who was looming over him fathers motionless form.
"C'mon kid, we have to save the others, you dad will be fine Piccolo will take care of him" Gohan hesitantly released his fathers gi, Krillin took off holding Gohan's arm in his hand pulling the young boy along with him along into the sky.
Bongo was headed toward the ship and Tempo, his face in a scowl he came to a halt once he came close but not too close to the dreadful Tempo.
"Well well, I did not think to meet another Namekian on this planet, one I expected, but two." Tempo exclaimed in a casual manner, in his hand sat the black and blue glass orb, Bongo could see in the centre an orange light flowing around in a wave like motion.
"What have you done? what is that think?" The Namekian demanded, hovering closer he balled his right fist.
Tempo smirked as he watched his entire henchman return to the ship from their bush refuge, some coming to stand beside him.
"Why you mean this insignificant looking think in my hand? well I shall tell you, it is Force hunter, it hunts out not only ones energy but their life force as well" Tempo finished, lifting the deadly orb up toward bongo.
Bongo gasped, he understood now that Tempo had not only drained away Goku's energy but also his ability to live, and his life could be next.
