Animeduchess: Konichiwa, minna-sama! It's me again. I've finally started my first DBZ fic! *does happy dance* Anyway, hope you enjoy it. And, yes, I know… *glances warily at sea of angry faces* …I have several other stories to finish. I'm working on them, alright? So don't be mad at me. Please review them when you have the chance. I will consider any and all ideas you have to help improve my stories, thanks. ^_^ Anyway, after all that blathering, here it is!
Duo: Wow, she stopped talking…
A: *smacks Duo* Shut up. Shouldn't you be off flirting with Heero or something?
Duo: Stay out of my love life!
A: Hey, I write your love life. So would you just leave me alo…
Vegeta: Would you start the story already?
A: I'm trying to, but I keep getting interrupted.
Vegeta: So what the hell is this about exactly?
A: You'll see. You're in this part anyway…
Duo: Yeah, as a 10 year old.
Vegeta: Why, you pathetic human! How dare you mock me! *powers up*
Duo: Yikes! *runs away*
Vegeta: Come back here, coward! *chases him*
Duo: Help! Get this crazy alien away from me!
Vegeta: No one insults the Great Prince of all Saiyans and lives!
A: ^_^* … Anyway, as I was saying, … *Duo comes running past, Vegeta on his tail* …hmmm… I wonder how those two would look in a fic together… *giggles* *both stop dead*
Duo and Vegeta: WHAT?!
A: Um, never mind. *whistles* *turns toward readers* My apologies for the delay. Now, finally, here's the story.
Disclaim: Oh, I loathe and despise this part, but all well… I DO NOT OWN DBZ! I'M NOT MAKING MONEY OFF THIS! So if you try to sue me, you'll be lucky if you can get a cent off me. I'm broke.
YOSHIMA
Prologue…
"Vegeta, hey, wait for me!" the small boy whined. Vegeta turned."Hurry up or they'll catch us!" Vegeta hissed.
"Well, I can't help it if I'm not as fast as you yet," the younger saiyan shot back. Vegeta sighed in frustration and took the boy's hand, as they ran through the corridors of Freeza's ship.
"So, how exactly do you plan on getting us out of here, your highness?" The boy said sarcastically.
"Smart ass," Vegeta replied.
" I learned from the very best," The younger saiyan said, grinning. Vegeta growled softly.
" My, did we get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" The boy teased. Vegeta instantly halted and turned the boy, giving him a glare that would send most creatures running in fear from the 10-year-old prince, but the boy just stared at him, smiling innocently.
"You do realize," Vegeta said, " that if you were any other being in this universe, you would be dead right now."
"I know," the boy said, still smiling, " that's what makes this so fun."
Vegeta sighed and gave the boy a small smile.
"Come on," he said, taking the younger saiyan's hand again.
"So how exactly do we get out of here?" the boy asked.
"There should be an escape pod hatch around here somewhere," Vegeta replied. They turned another corner… and came face to face with a dead end.
"Smooth move, Highness, now what do we do?" the boy asked irritably.
"Nothing," came a raspy voice in the Saiyan tongue. They turned to see Freeza standing over them. Suddenly, a voice filtered into the boy's mind.
When I count to three, blast him and run! Vegeta told him telepathically, 1…2…3! At that exact moment, both saiyans ki-blasted Freeza and raced back down the corridor. Vegeta ran until he was out of breath. It was then that he noticed he was alone.
"Vegeta, help!" he heard the younger saiyan yell. He ran toward the sound of the voice, until he came face-to-face with Freeza squeezing the younger saiyan's neck.
"Put him down!" Vegeta snarled.
"Or you'll what?" Freeza said, tossing the young saiyan up in the air and catching him by his tail. The boy had to clench his teeth in order to keep from screaming as Freeza squeezed his tail.
"Come on, scream," Freeza mocked, "You know you want to." The boy blew him a raspberry. Freeza squeezed harder.
"Is that supposed to hurt?" the boy spat. He was then hurled into a wall.
"Annoying, stupid monkeys," Freeza said.
"Leave him alone!" Vegeta yelled, jumping on him. Freeza just pushed him into another wall.
"Hey, Ice-face," came a pain filled voice, "you're gonna have to do better than that." Freeza turned to see the boy standing, his pride the only thing keeping him upright.
"Stupid monkey, don't you know when to give up?" Freeza said.
"Why would I give up to a foolish, arrogant, stupid slime ball like you?" the boy sneered.
"Why you smart-assed little bastard!" Freeza yelled. He then smiled.
"You know," he said, "I think your usefulness to me has just ended." With that, he sent a large ki-blast at the boy.
"Vegeta!" the boy yelled, trying to shield himself, "Vegeta, HELP ME!" The blast sent him through the metallic wall, causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, the boy was gone. Vegeta just stared at the dark hole, dumbfounded.
"Come, Prince ling, our work is done here," Freeza said. Vegeta let out a loud mournful roar and jumped on Freeza. Freeza caught him and threw him to the ground in a single motion.
"I would highly recommend that you never try that again," Freeza said, "if you plan on living a little longer that is." He then turned and walked away, an enraged Vegeta en toe.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Vegeta sat alone in a small cell. Something fell down his cheek and he wiped it away irritably, surprised to find he was crying. He felt more tears threaten to fall from his eyes. He screamed and threw ki everywhere. He fell to his knees; tears flowing down his face. He reached up, and ki-blasted a camera in the corner of the room. He then reached into his armor and pulled out a gold locket. He opened it, revealing a photograph of himself, his parents, and the younger saiyan.
"I swear, I will avenge you," Vegeta said, "My brother, Yoshima."
(End Part 1)
Authoress stands facing audience, smiling innocently. To her left and right Duo and Vegeta are gagged, bound with chains, and tied to two steel reinforced poles.
A: Muses are fun. *giggles* Well, until they get on your nerves, then you need to…deal with it.
Duo/Vegeta: *yelling incomprehensible profanities beneath gags*
A: Shut up. Now. *instant silence* Thank you. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think. Requests and constructive criticism welcome. Flames will be used for roasting marshmallows. And if the boys behave, I might just let them out for the next chapter.
D/V: *more profanities*
A: Or I could just leave you there. *instant silence* That's better. Please review. I will warn you it may take me a while for the next chapter, due to school, life, etc. But with lots of reviews (5+) I might get it up faster. Arigato!
