The Future is Now

Chapter 3

The man went down the stairs slowly, catching some attention from Vegeta and the others. He just smiled and walked over to them Gohon could feel his energy. 'This guy is tough! He won't beat Vegeta though, well, I hope!' Gohon thought to himself. Bulma peeked out from behind to see who the man was. No one could tell who he was.

******************************

Goku opened his eyes and looked around to see where he was. He felt so much better. He was all powered up and ready to fight. 'I don't feel Frieza's power source anymore. Maybe the guys beat him (A/N: Or her? I don't know) after all. I feel another big power! It's Vegeta! No way! His power is amazing! Wait! There's an even bigger power! Who is that? I can't tell!' Goku kept thinking about what's going on. He punched the glass on the regeneration tank and all of the water fell out around the floor. Goku stepped out onto the wet floor. He slashed through the water towards the door and flew off toward where the others are.

******************************

Vegeta could sense that this guy was more powerful than he was, but his pride got the best of him, of course, so he thought he could beat him. "Who are you?" Krillin asked, breaking the silence. "I am Hermeshi! I am a super saijin!" Hermeshi said. Vegeta looked at him stunned. "What the? You can't be! There's only 2 saijins left. Myself and Kakarrot!" Vegeta exclaimed. "Well, you're prince Vegeta. Hmmm? Nice to meet you, your royal highness." Hermeshi said bowing to Vegeta. Vegeta just smirked, while the others stood there in awe. "What business do you have here?" Vegeta said, letting Hermeshi rise. "I have come to destroy Frieza. He destroyed our entire race. I was lucky enough to get away. Are you still on his team my prince?" Hermeshi asked. "No. I killed Frieza. I never him in the first place." Vegeta replied. "Oh. I should have known that the prince of all saijins would beat Frieza first. Well, I'm here to serve you in any way possible." Hermeshi said. Everyone spotted Goku flying towards them. Goku landed next to Gohon. "So guys, what's going on? And who is this?" Goku asked confusedly. "My name is Hermeshi. I serve my royal prince Vegeta. Who are you?" "He is the other saijin. His name is Kakorrot." Vegeta responded for Goku. "Well, I actually go by Goku." "Aren't you the Earth failure?" Hermeshi said, trying not to laugh. Vegeta broke out laughing hysterically. Bulma still stood behind the boulder watching. 'I've never seen Vegeta laugh before. Wow! He looks so, wait, what am I thinking?' Bulma thought.

"Yes, he was the Earth failure. He turned all 'good' or whatever." Vegeta said, after he stopped laughing. "Oh." Hermeshi simply said. "So, did you destroy Frieza?" Goku asked turning to Vegeta. "Yes. I'm a super saijin now." Vegeta said with pride. (A/N: He seems to always say things like that with pride huh?)

A while later everyone got caught up with what's going on. Hermeshi turned around and faced the others. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get a drink. Would you like a drink prince Vegeta?" Vegeta looked at him startled. "Huh, oh, sure." Vegeta said, and went back to mocking Goku.

******************************

Hermeshi walked over to the river on the other side of the mountain and pulled out a communicator. Bulma was sitting on the other side of the mountain gathering things and happened to see Hermeshi. She stopped and decided to see what he was doing. "I have landed on Namek, and Vegeta has beaten Frieza." Hermeshi said talking into the communicator. (think of it kinda like a cell phone.) "Yes, I'm sure. Send the men to attack them now. They're distracted with relaxation...there's about 5 or 6 of them....just get here, we don't have time to fool around...yes, he thinks I serve him, haha!" Bulma's eyes got wide as she listened to his conversation. She watched as he turned around and headed her way to get some water from the river. She walked around the opposite direction he was in and leaned up against the side of the mountain, trying not to be seen. When she peeked her head around the corner he stood there right in front of her smiling. "So, you've been eavesdropping on me? Hmmm? What did you hear?" Hermeshi said grabbing Bulma's shirt collar. "Uh, um, nothing. I didn't hear anything. I just got over here." Bulma said nervously, trying to get out of his grip. "I'm not that dumb! I saw you spying on me!" Hermeshi said tightening his grip on her. He raised his hand up to her head and a ki ball formed. She could feel the heat coming from the ki ball. "I'll kill you!" Hermeshi said. Bulma screamed loudly punching and kicking to get out of his grip. "Let me go you bastard! HELP! AHHHHHHH!" Bulma screamed.

******************************

The others heard Bulma scream and they rushed over to where her screams were coming from. Even Vegeta ran to her aid. Something inside of him made him go. He was the first to arrive and shortly everyone else appeared. They spotted Hermeshi with Bulma in one hand, and a ki ball in the other hand pointed towards Bulma's head. Bulma had tears running down her face. Hermeshi looked over and saw all five of the guys standing there with their fists up. "Lay one hand or ki ball on her, and I'll kill you!" Vegeta said. 'Why did I just say that? Am I defending her? Hmmm.' Vegeta thought. "That goes for the rest of us!" Krillin said. "He's been lying to you! He is the bad guy! He's sending some other guys over here to come after you!" Bulma yelled. Hermeshi slammed her back into the wall. Bulma fell to the ground with a sickening 'thud.' "Bulma!" Gohon yelled as he ran to her side. The back of her head was bleeding and she lay unconscious. Vegeta ran up to Hermeshi and killed him with one blow to the head. Everyone was shocked by Vegeta's sudden anger, but decided not to question him. "Is she alright?" Goku asked Gohon. "Well, she's got a small concussion on the back of her head, but she'll be fine. "Good." Vegeta whispered to himself. He couldn't exactly explain why he just said that or why he killed Hermeshi. Something inside of him just wanted to hurt that jerk for what he's done to the woman and for deceiving them.
