A few seconds later Megan and Vegeta crashed through a window on the 13th
floor of the hospital. Immediately they felt the heat and smelled the
smoke from the huge fire. They covered their noses and mouths and started
looking for Raiko. Vegeta's heart was racing. He could lose
Raiko...forever. And then he thought of the Dragon Balls. But still,
losing her would break his heart.
Suddenly, a part of the ceiling crashed down in front of them, blocking their path. Vegeta coughed as the smoke grew thicker and the heat more intense. They swerved to the left, dodging another cave in. They kept going straight, looking for Raiko's room. They turned another corner, and recognized the hallway. The fire was right behind them.
"Which one is it? I forgot," asked Megan.
"It's room number 1313," Vegeta replied. They took off, looking at each number on the doors...
1301...1302...1303...1304...
...the numbers seemed to go on forever, but then he saw, "1313". He screeched to a halt, almost falling backwards. He reached for the handle...
A wave of pain took over him as the burning ceiling forced him to the ground. He screamed in pain.
Megan had turned around just in time to see the ceiling fall. She was there in a flash, pushing the tiles off Vegeta's scorched body. After the burning tiles were removed, Megan looked down at Vegeta. Vegeta lay there, 3rd degree burns covering at least 90% of his body. He was in so much pain...he didn't think he could go on. He blacked out...
...and was in front of the apartment door again. He gulped and went inside. He examined the paintings and went to see Raiko and Trunks, and when he crossed in front of the dining room, the screaming sound filled his ears again. Bulma was on the floor, ripping her heart out. He backed up against the window, Raiko and Trunks coming out of the room. Raiko threw her Ki at Bulma and the same thing happened. She started crawling towards them, wanting blood. Vegeta wanted to know what would make this stop. It was haunting him to the point of not wanting to live.
He needed to do something. He needed to prevent Bulma from getting to them. He didn't want to be in more pain than he already was. He stepped forward, taking a breath. Bulma looked up at him, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. This time she didn't scream. Vegeta let out the air in his lungs, and then took another deep breath.
"Why do you want to hurt us? You don't really want to hurt people, do you?" he said. Bulma recoiled, hissing. Then, she started cackling. She laughed until she couldn't get any more breath in, and then said in an insane voice,
"Oh, but I do. And I'm sorry. It won't stop." She started to advance again. Raiko and Trunks were whimpering with fright. Vegeta scowled at the bloody thing crawling forward on the carpet. This was foolish. He shouldn't be scared by a bloody heap of limbs that shouldn't even be called a human anymore it was so mangled. He transformed into SS2 and blasted the gory woman into oblivion. As the smoke cleared, Bulma was gone, and so was the painting that she had come from. Vegeta returned to his regular state. Raiko stood up and gave Vegeta a kiss. She reached into his pocket and took out the "Just Married" picture. She held up a picture just like it in the other hand.
"Go make it real," she said.
He woke up with a start on the floor of the hospital. He rolled over and stood up, ignoring his burnt body. In a burst of light he transformed into a Super Sayian. He grabbed the handle and pushed the door open violently. He rushed over to the bedside. Raiko was no better than the last time he saw her (not including the dreams). He took off the air mask, and carefully removed the IV from her arm, placing a nearby bandage on it. Then he picked her up and crashed out the window, back first.
He bit back a scream of pain as glass cut his skin. His eyes clouded over. He blinked, trying to clear them, but it didn't help.
"Megan!" he yelled, praying that she would hear him. She did and flew out to meet Vegeta.
"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned. Vegeta covered his eyes with a hand and unintentionally fell into Megan, his hair fading back into his original black color. Megan suddenly realized that Vegeta was about to faint, and put Vegeta's arm around her shoulder, her other arm taking Raiko. She floated silently to the ground.
Nurses and doctors and reporters rushed over to her. Vegeta and Raiko were taken to the ambulances, and the reporters questioned Megan about how she saved them. She looked at the reporters, silent, and then flew away after Vegeta and Raiko.
Vegeta was in much worse a state than Raiko, even though, as a Sayian, he could heal his wounds fast. But then again, so was Raiko, but her wounds hadn't healed all the way either. Soon, after a couple of hours, she woke up, her eyes searching for Vegeta. Megan came into view.
"Are you okay?" she asked. She nodded, silently, then asked,
"Where's Vegeta? I want to see him." Megan's face suddenly got very worried. She looked at the cot to her right. Raiko followed her gaze...
Vegeta lay in a sea of bandages, wires connected to him, and an EKG sat next to the makeshift bed. An air mask covered his nose and mouth. He was breathing slowly and weakly. Raiko's eyes filled with tears, and she let them fall.
"He's not going to make it..." she turned back to Megan, "is he...?"
She solemnly shook his head. She looked back over at Vegeta, the reading from the EKG getting slower...and slower. Despite the still broken bones, she leapt out of bed and flung herself at Vegeta's side. She took his hand, tears streaming down her face. He opened his eyes and looked at her through also teary eyes. Vegeta held his hand up to her face and she let him touch her cheek, her hands holding his. He then took off his air mask and the held both of her hands. He turned them over, palm side up, and kissed her palms, then closing her fingers.
"Keep these until I return..." he said, and then died.

Maria: there. Its done. Now be happy. AND NO FLAMES! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!
