Chapter Fourteen

Shopping Is Suppose To Be Fun

Somewhere out In Space

"Beg for mercy and I might let you go." A man with dark blue skin and black hair that shot out of his head like huge pointy spikes remarked. He was holding another man with light green skin and dark red hair by the collar. He was drenched in blood and dying slowly and painfully. The room looked as if it was part of a ship, a cafeteria maybe. It was painted in the color of red created by the dead bodies on the floor. Blood flooded the old white tiled floor, blood and flesh. Hundreds of men and women were lying on the floor, dead. Blood seeping out from their disheveled bodies, their flesh peeled off from their original places and lying in the thick red liquid. There were even pieces of ash spread about on the ground that was left from some people's bodies. Who was responsible for all of this?

"I will never beg for mercy at the hands of you. You are nothing but a monster and you should die a slow and painful death." The dying man stated while spitting blood from his mouth onto the floor. The blue skinned man just chuckled evilly and the sweet scent of fresh blood filled his senses. He breathed the well-known smell into his nostrils and sighed in a comforting manner.

"You know, death is not an enemy. It is an ally, and believe me, I will rule the universe and have my fun in this world before I pass on to the afterlife."

"You will never rule anything you worthless scum. I won't let it happen. You should die and you will die. I do this in the name of all the innocent people you have killed and all of the children and newborns that had suffered in your hands." He pulled a little black box out from his pocket and lifted his finger over a big red button.

"Die!" He yelled as he pushed the big red button and everything around them exploded and dissolved into nothing. Except for the blue skinned man. He was still fighting the source of energy and he fought with so much energy that he ripped a hole in space. He spotted the little open portal and his curiosity took over. He entered the portal and fell into a space of time that was filled with emptiness and blackness. Finally he fell through another hole and hit a hard surface with a large thud. He regained his sense after a little bit and found that he could breathe, wherever he was. He looked around and took in his surroundings. There was a blue sky with white puffy things in it instead of a normal black sky with stars. He saw big tall brown things that shot out from the ground with green things on them that reminded him of lettuce. Then he saw it. An overlook of a huge city filled with commotion and life. He smirked as he rose from his spot on the ground and levitated into the air. He shot a few ki blasts at those brown and green thing and they each exploded into nothingness. He smirked once again and shot off towards the city with life.

Trunks and Jess each grabbed a cart and wheeled them into the huge store of food. Goku's dreamland practically. Anyways, Vegeta followed behind them, not caring for the trip one bit. All he wanted was food and breakfast. He was just about starving and now he had to take a three-hour trip to the grocery store? Vegeta just 'humphed' and crossed his arms over his chest while glaring at people.

"Ok, we need all of the basics. You do know them right?" Jess asked Trunks as he was staring at all of the appetizing food. "Trunks?" She yelled in his face. He quickly cam out of his daze and looked at Jess.

"What?" She growled in annoyance and repeated what she said. "Oh yea. Of course I do." He said with a smirk and a wink. Jess just rolled her eyes and pushed the cart over to the meat section.

"Don't get stuff that is too fattening Trunks." He just mocked her voice and rolled his cart over to the snack aisle. Vegeta followed Jess since she was going over to the better place and he eyed all of the delicious meats and fish. A little bit of saliva escaped from the corner of his mouth and he licked his lips. Jess glanced over at him and she giggled. Vegeta looked at her and suddenly realized what he was going on. He wiped his mouth off with the back of his hand and growled at her.

"Well if you had more food, I wouldn't be doing that." He barked. Jess just rolled her eyes and continued on with grabbing all of the meat she could find. Vegeta even helped by shoveling all of the meat on the counter into the cart and glaring at Jess. She narrowed her eyes at him and moved onto the different aisles of the store.

Lexy and Goten were in the woods that everyone usually sparred in and they warmed up with a few hundred push-ups and sit-ups. They both shot ki blasts at some trees and each other. Finally, they got into real action and threw a series of kicks and punches at each other. Goten nipped Lexy a bit on the jaw with his fist and her head flung back a bit, but she kept her balance. She recovered quickly and kicked him in the legs sending him to the ground. She shot a ki ball at him, but he rolled over and flew up into the sky before she could muster another. He threw a couple of ki blasts at her and none of them connected with her. She kept dodging everything he had to hand out and she even dished out some of her own attacks. They both were in the air, powering up and creating a huge ball of energy in their hands.

"I hope you like my new attack!" Lexy yelled while powering up some more.

"I bet I will! But you will like this one more!" Goten finished powering up and smirked at Lexy before throwing his hand back and then launching the huge ball of ki forward. As Goten launched it, Lexy stopped powering up and released her huge ball of energy towards the other. A few seconds later, the two balls connected and a huge explosion set off blowing everything around it to the ground or dissipating it. Lexy and Goten both got sent to the ground and their bodies met with the cold hard ground.

Trunks turned the corner of one of the aisles and grabbed all the good stuff. He was licking his chops while just looking at some of the types of food. Of course he loved this kind of food, but he also needed some good food. So he went over to the produce aisle and grabbed bundles of yogurt, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, bagels, donuts that were in the middle of the aisle, anything that looked appetizing to him. He nodded in accomplishment and went to turn towards another lane when he bumped into something with his cart. He looked up and saw Jess rubbing the back of her head and his dad rubbing is forehead.

"Uhhh…hi." He said after a while. Vegeta and Jess just glared at him and then Jess's eyes widened while she looked at his cart.

"Trunks, do you want me and Lexy to blow up or something? You certainly picked out the most fattening foods I could ever think of." She complained. Trunks just grinned sheepishly and walked over to her to stare at the cart from her angle. He did get a lot of food, but she didn't have to eat it if she didn't want to.

"You don't have to eat it. Me and Goten and Goku will eat it all. I also got some good stuff like cheese, yogurt, milk, and eggs." He listed them while searching for the 'nutritious' food in the cart. Jess just shook her head and continued rubbing the back of her head.

"You know, you made your dad run into me and I think you should apologize to us. That hurt." Trunks looked at the red bump that was starting to form on his father's head and the bump that was starting to form on Jess's.

"Uh….yea sorry about that. I'll be more careful next time."

"There won't be a next time boy. Just go get food and we can go." Vegeta gruffly stated while rubbing at the throbbing bump on his head.

"Don't worry Vegeta. With your healing abilities, that will go away in like five minutes."

"Good. Yours is actually starting to go away already. But how? I have faster healing power than you do. You're only human." He questioned to himself as he inspected her bump and the fading red color.

"I've always been like that. I heal fast, that's all."

"You heal faster than a Saiyan brat. That is nothing to ignore. We'll have to look into that." He remarked while crossing his arms. Jess just nodded and moved onto the next section of the store.

Lexy and Goten got up from the ground and luckily they weren't hurt that bad. Just a few cuts and bruises. Maybe one or two gashes, no biggie. They both crouched into a fighting stance and charged at one another. They once again threw punches and kicks at each other and finally Lexy's foot connected with Goten's stomach and she quickly took this opportunity to punch him in the face. He was sent flying down to the ground making a ditch in the ground where he landed. Lexy flew down after him and threw and a blast of ki into the hole as well. She smirked at her victory, but it quickly faded as Goten reappeared in front of her and punched her in the stomach so hard that she couldn't catch her breath quick enough and unconsciousness took over. Goten wrapped his arms around her before she could fall and he looked at her in confusion.

"I didn't hit her that hard, did I?" He asked himself. He shrugged it off and flew back towards Jess's house.

Jess strolled over to the deli with Vegeta right behind her and she waited in line to take an order. It was her turn now and she looked up at the man or should I say teenager who would serve her. A boy with dark brown hair and matching brown eyes smiled at her and leaned against the counter.

"Can I help you?" He asked. Jess smiled back at him and nodded her head.

"Yea. I have a huge order for a party so don't freak. I'd like all of the provolone, American, Swiss, and farmer's cheese you have."

"Sure thing." He took out all of the cheeses she asked for and even glanced at her through the glass windows of the counter while getting her order. Jess felt his gaze on her and she felt a little uncomfortable, but liked it none-the less. He handed her the cheeses and made sure to brush his hands over hers while giving them to her. Vegeta saw the moves this boy was pulling and he didn't like it one bit. He growled and stepped a little closer to Jess. The boy saw Vegeta and sank back in fear. He gulped and smiled nervously at Jess.

"Um…anything else?" He squeaked. Jess noticed the change or should I say squeakiness of his voice and she had to stifle a giggle.

"Yea. I want all of your smoked ham, roast beef, and oh what the heck, I want all of the meat you have. Can you do that for me?" He nodded his head and got right to work. Jess wondered about why he got so nervous all of a sudden and she glanced back at Vegeta. Her eyes widened a notch when she saw him growling and glaring at the deli boy. What was he doing? She turned around and faced him eye to eye.

"What are you doing?" Vegeta calmed down a bit and narrowed his eyes at her.

"You do know that he was putting moves on you right?"

"Of course I do. I'm not stupid. That's just how all men are. I've already had worse then someone touching my hand. So just leave it be." Vegeta pondered over what she meant by worse.

"Worse? Like what?" A dark look came over Jess's face.

"I don't want to talk about it." She grabbed the food that the deli boy laid out on the top of the counter and stuffed it all in her cart. After she loaded all of the food, she smiled at the deli boy.

"Thanks." He nodded and winked at her. Jess looked away quickly and treaded with her cart off towards another hall. Vegeta stayed back and glared at the boy. The boy had enough of it and he growled.

"What is your problem sir? You've been glaring at me since you got here."

"Hmph. It was kind of obvious you were hitting on her. What are you five, six years older than her?"

"And just who are you, her father?" Vegeta kept his stance, but that question ran around in his mind a bit. Her father. "Hello? Are you going to answer me?" Vegeta growled once more. Was this kid stupid and rude or what?

"Yes I am. And if you don't want to die, then I prefer you shut up and never try it again." With that Vegeta stalked away towards Jess and left the deli boy stunned. Vegeta caught up with Jess who was actually running back towards the deli.

"Where are you going?" Vegeta asked blocking her way.

"I forgot the Roast Beef. I need to get it." She skipped around him and back over to the deli. She went up to the counter and the deli boy came up to her.

"Do you need something else too babe?" He asked while winking at her. Jess just narrowed her eyes at him and nodded.

"I forgot my roast beef." He looked around the deli and finally found it.

"Here it is." He handed it to her, but grabbed her hand while giving it to her. "Why don't you come on back and I'll show you some of the deli things in here?" Jess tugged on her hand, but he didn't let go.

"No thanks. I have to go."

"What? Did your father tell you something?" Jess eyes widened in shock and she growled.

"Excuse me? What did you say?"

"Your father. The man who you were just with." Oh, so he thought that Vegeta was her father. Well, she can play along.

"What about him?"

"He's very protective of his baby. I would too if you were mine." Jess narrowed her eyes at him and tugged at her hand again.

"That's nice. Now let go of me." He reluctantly let her go and she gave him the finger before walking off towards her 'father'. Just as she was walking back, she stopped dead in her tracks. The roast beef fell to the ground and Jess's hands were shaking. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was agape. Trunks came running over to her and shook her shoulders.

"Jess. Do you feel that?"

"Yea. What energy! Whoever it is, is amazingly strong."

"Yea." Just then, the roof was blown off the building and it exploded. People were screaming and some were even dead. Jess and Trunks both got up from where they were standing and looked around for the source of the attack. Up in the air, a large blue skinned, black haired man floated and man did he ever have such a smirk on his face. Trunks looked around for his father and saw him about twenty feet away from him and Jess glaring at the newcomer. Went Trunks went to glance at Jess, she was gone. He looked back up towards the man and saw her levitating up towards him.

"Jess! What are you doing?" He yelled out to her, but she ignored him.

"Who are you?!" She demanded to know. The man smirked and checked her out, eyeing every part of her body.

"I am Drake, the most powerful being in the universe."
