Phobia
Chapter 17: Falling apart

And then I knew what I was to do

My dark eyes cracked open, I cursed under my breath as the throb at my brow lessened.
"Vegeta! Thanks Kami you're alright!"
That voice . . . No- but how?
I turned to see the man I love, tears of joy were in his sparkling eyes.
"Wha-?" The words barely left my agape mouth as his arms wrapped around me and pulled me close, nearly cutting off my air supply. What the hell is going on? He's dead!
He
Is
DEAD!!
I was silent as he held me in his comforting arms.
"I-I thought that-," He sobbed into my shoulder.
"Where are we?" I said, trying not to sound as distraught as I really was.
"In the hall, y-you must have passed out. I've been waiting for you to wake up . . . I would have carried you to the lab, but I don't think that's such a good idea." I nodded into his chest. I breathed in his clean scent, it was so much different than in the dream I had experienced.
Damn Videl
DAMN HER!!!!
Warm hands gently took a hold of my chin and I was staring into the eyes of my mate. He smiled at me. "Vegeta, is everything alright . . .?"
I leaned forward, not answering his question and brushed by lips over his. A deep purr began in his throat as I pressed my lips against his; lesser force came from him. So, I pulled back, a questioning look on my face. "What is it?" The purr halted.
"N-nothing, I just think we should get back. Everyone is probably very worried." I stood up and reached down, pulling my heavier than usual mate to his feet. He smiled his 'thank you' and walked beside me, his tail swaying lazily behind him.
I froze
I knew what to do
I know how to stop Videl
I know how to end this madness
I know how to save Kakkarot and our family
I can save them all, and I will. I will kill her at last
"Uh . . . Geta?" I snapped back into reality. Kakkarot had his head cocked and he was staring intently at my eyes. "Are you sure you're alright?"
~The dragonballs~
I shook my head.
~ One ~
~Two ~!
~Three~
~Four~
~Five~
~Six~
~Seven~
~One wish~
"DAMMIT I KNOW!" I blurted out, causing Kakkarot to jump back. I avoided his eyes. "I'm, sorry but I need to do something. I want you to find Bulma and get her to land the space ship on the closet planet. Then get Gohan to get the others"
"Vegeta, I don't understand; you're confusing me."
"Just do as I say-"
He cut me off. "But what about Oolong!!??"
I scowled, "He's dead. He's in the oven. Go, now! Be careful. Videl may show up any second."
"Let me go with you!"
I shook my head, even though I wanted him to go with me. "Do as I tell you. I love you." I spoke, my voice tried to stay calm.
"Alright, if that's what you want. I love you too Geta." He grinned at me. "You be careful too."
"I will." With that, I turned away from him and ran the opposite direction, towards the lab, to retrieve the dragon radar.
I sprinted into the large lab and instantly spotted the dragon radar. I smiled in triumph as I picked it up. Now all I need to do is get Ka-
"Vegeta, what are you doing here?"
My teeth grinded against each other as I heard the monotone voice.
DAMMIT
DAMMIT
DAMMIT
I forgot about him.
"I should ask you the same question Namek." I glared at him. His eyes searched the room for a moment then they rested upon me. He was up to something I could feel it in my gut.
"Where's Goku?" He asked. He works with Videl. I should blast his ass. But I stopped myself, what if the dream hadn't been entirely true? Maybe she wanted me to kill him so she didn't have to. Damn, this is so confusing.
"I think he's sleeping . . ."
"That's not a good idea." Well he isn't really sleeping; thank Kami. "We should go get him-"
"He's fine, I will get him. I don't need your help." I walked past him. He didn't say anything and he didn't try to stop me. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

Goku walked down the halls as quietly as possible. He grimaced as pain surged through his stomach and faded as rapidly as it came. "You're hungry for energy today." He whispered to his child inside his belly. He got to the kitchen; this is where Bulma and Gohan had been earlier. He could only hope they were still there. The door slid up and kind blue eyes met his, as did a black set.
"Dad." Gohan stood up. "What is it?"
"Vegeta said for Bulma to land the ship on the nearest planet."
Bulma looked at him for a moment. "Why?"
"I don't know he just said to. I think you should go now. I'll go with you, Gohan. I want you to get the others alright. I know they're searching for Oolong, but he's dead . . ."
"HE IS!" They gasped in unison. Goku sadly nodded.
Bulma took in a deep breath. "Come on, whatever Vegeta is up to I'm sure it's important."
The two Sayians followed her out the door; Gohan went the opposite way.

I continued down the hall, until I got to the pilot room. I went inside to see Bulma and Kakkarot sitting on a couch like thing. They looked up.
"What is this all about?" Bulma asked. I ignored her question and went over to Kakkarot.
"Did Gohan get the others?"
"Yeah, he should be back soon."
They could hear voices.
"We should be arriving at the planet in a few minutes . . . why do you have the dragon radar?" Bulma asked
"I need to collect the dragon balls. We need to get all of them. Everyone will help, the sooner we acquire them the better."
Goku's eyelashes lowered to his stomach, his face distorting in pain.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, and went to his side.
"No- it just hurts a little. That's all, it's nothing." For some reason I felt insecure about something. Something was bugging me.
Videl.
Where the fuck was she?
The door opened and the others all crammed inside. They all chatted quietly. "Everyone." They all looked at me. "I need you all to help me find the dragonballs. They are all located on this ship." There was a beeping sound. The radar showed the whole ship and the various places the Dragonballs had been hidden.
Videl must have known that we would figure this out.
Kakkarot, you are going with me. Goten, Trunks, Gohan and Bulma can go to the lab and get the one located near it . . ." I continued until everyone had some place to go. Kakkarot and I were checking the bedrooms. It wouldn't show us the short-range scan; I don't know why Bulma made this blasted thing if it can't do that! Kakkarot followed to the left of me, he walked slower than he usually does, which caused my heart to thump faster. His breathing became labored. I turned to him as he collapsed onto the floor, his teeth clenched tightly.
"Kakkarot!!" I shouted and smoothed his wet hair back.
"G-go get the Dragonball, I'm fine. Go and hu-hurry . . ." I stood up and was running towards the bedrooms. I entered the first one, the beeping grew lower and slower. Damn. I need to hurry, something is wrong with Kakkarot. I went into another room and was successful. I punched through a wall and a black Dragonball came tumbling out. I shoved it into a bag I grabbed up and put it over my shoulder; then hurried out of the room. I staggered forward as the ship landed.
Kakkarot was at the end of the hall still on the floor. "Oh Kami . . ." I glanced over his sweat drenched body. His breathing hitched as I touched his shoulder. "Can you walk?"
"N . . . n . . . . . . no . . ." He answered weakly. His head not moving to see me. My eyebrows drew together. What the hell is wrong with him? My mind screamed as I brought him into my arms. He cried out as I did so. Maybe it was time for the baby to be removed? It can't be. Not yet.
I sprinted down the hall, holding my mate protectively against my chest. His breathing became shallow. "Ge-ta . . ." he groaned and gripped onto my shirt. No
No
No
No
No
No
No!
Not yet, please make the pain disappear. I wanted to take the pain away. So, he wouldn't have to feel it. But I can't! I could only run faster. I need to bring him to Bulma; maybe she'd know what to do.
"Vegeta we- oh sweet Kami! Goku!!" Bulma raced over to us. Goten, Trunks, and Gohan next to her.
"What's wrong with dad?" Goten asked, him and Trunks equally worried as the rest of us were.
"I don't know. Bulma try to help him. I need to do something."
"N-NO- Geta!! Don't-don't leave me- it hurts! Oh K-kami make it stop!" My heart twisted as I heard his pleading words.
"I'll be right back, I promise." I leaned down and kissed his cheek ever so softly then handed him to Gohan.
"NO!" He shouted and tried to struggle but didn't do anything but injure himself.
Bulma handed me the Dragonball. The others ran up to us. They all gasped. I took the Dragonballs from them and hurried towards my destination.
I exited the ship and ran a few meters away from it. I set them down and they lit up. The sky instantly became dark.
Now I will end all the pain. I will end it all!
A huge dragon appeared in the sky of the small planet. "Why have you awakened me from my slumber?" Its voice boomed.
"Dragon-"
"NO!" I turned to see Videl running up to me.
Before she could utter another word, I said my wish. "Strip Videl of all her powers!"
There was silence and it's eyes grew brighter then faded back to black. "It is done." Then the dragon disappeared and the dragonballs were brought into the air and shot to different places. I smiled.
Finally
I could hear low sobs coming from Videl. I turned to see tears streaming down her cheek.
It is finally her time to die and she was crying. DID SHE STOP WHEN KAKKAROT CRIED!!!???????
NO SHE DIDN'T!
I moved towards her, but she didn't step away. Maybe she was welcoming death. "So, are you ready to pay for what you've done?"
She looked at me, her eyes filled with pain. "I've already paid, and so have you!" She shouted. "Come on kill me."
Like in the dream.
"You have no idea what you have done," She cried. I almost felt bad for her. Almost . . .
I extended my am, my pointer finger aimed at her chest. At where her heart should have been. I hesitated, her words kept me from it. What is she talking about? I paid? She paid? What have I done?
Then pain blackened my eyesight. Videl hadn't moved from where she stood. "What the fuc-" It hit me again, this time harder but then it was gone. I held my neck where Kakkarot's teeth had sunk into. What is going on??
It had to have been that bitch. "BURN IN HELL!!!" I shouted and blue shot from my finger. She didn't try to escape; only a gasp came from her throat as she fell backwards. I waited for a moment. No sound came from her. I moved next to her and brought my hand to her throat.
Thump . . .

Thump . . .

"Veg-eta" Her eyes met mine. "I tried to tell you- I tried- buh-but you thought something else. I didn't want to hurt the child because I hate her. If anything I love her but- she, Goku- it'll kill him. There was nothing you could do but use the Dragonballs to save him. He was destined to die- Vegeta- you can't save him now- it's all your . . . fault . . . tell him . . . tell him how much you love him, keep the child alive. Love her. Love Goku . . . I love him so . . ." Her words trailed off, as did the tears off my face, they rolled off my face.
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She had been trying to save him!
Before I knew it, I was running, running towards the ship. There was silence until I got aboard. I could hear my mate's cries of pain as I sprinted towards the lab; they only grew louder.
The tears flowed quicker. The door opened and I stepped inside. Cries of utter Agony reached my ears.

Continued . . .
Agent 182: BUHAHAHA! Evil cliffhanger! Sorry it was rushed . . . I want to finish this fic! So, something you didn't expect I bet! Heh heh it's almost over. So, it all was a dream! Heh heh! Hopefully it's starting to fall into place. Videl put Vegeta in that dream so if something happened to her, he would make a wish. Something that would make Goku better! T_T But Nooo! Vegeta got it all wrong and well . . . ruined everything. What was that pain Vegeta felt on his neck? Hmm, I know but you'll hafta wait and see! Thanks for the reviews and hopefully you'll review again! ^_^ Thanks for reading!

I turned to see the man I love, tears of joy were in his sparkling eyes.
"Wha-?" The words barely left my agape mouth as his arms wrapped around me and pulled me close, nearly cutting off my air supply. What the hell is going on? He's dead!
He

DEAD!!
I was silent as he held me in his comforting arms.
"I-I thought that-," He sobbed into my shoulder.
"Where are we?" I said, trying not to sound as distraught as I really was.
"In the hall, y-you must have passed out. I've been waiting for you to wake up . . . I would have carried you to the lab, but I don't think that's such a good idea." I nodded into his chest. I breathed in his clean scent, it was so much different than in the dream I had experienced.

I can save them all, and I will. I will kill her at last
"Uh . . . Geta?" I snapped back into reality. Kakkarot had his head cocked and he was staring intently at my eyes. "Are you sure you're alright?"
~The dragonballs~
I shook my head.
~ One ~
~Two ~!
~Three~
~Four~
~Five~
~Six~
~Seven~
~One wish~
"DAMMIT I KNOW!" I blurted out, causing Kakkarot to jump back. I avoided his eyes. "I'm, sorry but I need to do something. I want you to find Bulma and get her to land the space ship on the closet planet. Then get Gohan to get the others"
"Vegeta, I don't understand; you're confusing me."
"Just do as I say-"
He cut me off. "But what about Oolong!!??"
I scowled, "He's dead. He's in the oven. Go, now! Be careful. Videl may show up any second."
"Let me go with you!"
I shook my head, even though I wanted him to go with me. "Do as I tell you. I love you." I spoke, my voice tried to stay calm.
"Alright, if that's what you want. I love you too Geta." He grinned at me. "You be careful too."

"I think he's sleeping . . ."
"That's not a good idea." Well he isn't really sleeping; thank Kami. "We should go get him-"
"He's fine, I will get him. I don't need your help." I walked past him. He didn't say anything and he didn't try to stop me. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

"I don't know. Bulma try to help him. I need to do something."

Bulma handed me the Dragonball. The others ran up to us. They all gasped. I took the Dragonballs from them and hurried towards my destination.
I exited the ship and ran a few meters away from it. I set them down and they lit up. The sky instantly became dark.
Now I will end all the pain. I will end it all!
A huge dragon appeared in the sky of the small planet. "Why have you awakened me from my slumber?" Its voice boomed.
"Dragon-"
"NO!" I turned to see Videl running up to me.
Before she could utter another word, I said my wish. "Strip Videl of all her powers!"
There was silence and it's eyes grew brighter then faded back to black. "It is done." Then the dragon disappeared and the dragonballs were brought into the air and shot to different places. I smiled.
Finally
I could hear low sobs coming from Videl. I turned to see tears streaming down her cheek.
It is finally her time to die and she was crying. DID SHE STOP WHEN KAKKAROT CRIED!!!???????
NO SHE DIDN'T!
I moved towards her, but she didn't step away. Maybe she was welcoming death. "So, are you ready to pay for what you've done?"
She looked at me, her eyes filled with pain. "I've already paid, and so have you!" She shouted. "Come on kill me."
Like in the dream.
"You have no idea what you have done," She cried. I almost felt bad for her. Almost . . .
I extended my am, my pointer finger aimed at her chest. At where her heart should have been. I hesitated, her words kept me from it. What is she talking about? I paid? She paid? What have I done?
Then pain blackened my eyesight. Videl hadn't moved from where she stood. "What the fuc-" It hit me again, this time harder but then it was gone. I held my neck where Kakkarot's teeth had sunk into. What is going on??
It had to have been that bitch. "BURN IN HELL!!!" I shouted and blue shot from my finger. She didn't try to escape; only a gasp came from her throat as she fell backwards. I waited for a moment. No sound came from her. I moved next to her and brought my hand to her throat.
Thump . . .

"Veg-eta" Her eyes met mine. "I tried to tell you- I tried- buh-but you thought something else. I didn't want to hurt the child because I hate her. If anything I love her but- she, Goku- it'll kill him. There was nothing you could do but use the Dragonballs to save him. He was destined to die- Vegeta- you can't save him now- it's all your . . . fault . . . tell him . . . tell him how much you love him, keep the child alive. Love her. Love Goku . . . I love him so . . ." Her words trailed off, as did the tears off my face, they rolled off my face.
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She had been trying to save him!
Before I knew it, I was running, running towards the ship. There was silence until I got aboard. I could hear my mate's cries of pain as I sprinted towards the lab; they only grew louder.
The tears flowed quicker. The door opened and I stepped inside. Cries of utter Agony reached my ears.
