Forever Dormant
Prologue: A female saiyan runs from the house that once contained a family of four. She looked to be nearly five feet and three inches tall with dark mahogany hair reaching her shoulders. Much beauty was in her eyes, they seemed to be the very essence of the color icy blue. She ran to the launch pad area.
"Oninia do you have the child?" A sayain male said to the female stepping out of the shadows. He was six feet and seven inches tall with rich black hair as dark as midnight that reached his middle back. Set on his face was a pair of very deep brown eyes, the likes of which were so deep that if you were to look long and hard enough you could see his very soul. It was almost too pure to be saiyan.
"Yes, I have Letoca. She is sleeping like a baby." The blue-eyed saiyan replied.
The male looked down on his mate and his spawn in her arms and smiled. He pushed a button on the device located over his left ear and around his left eye. Numbers flashed before his eye and stopped at 100. "Her power level is one hundred. She will make us proud as a warrior." His voice was already full of pride.
His mate glanced at the empty space ship and back at him. She asked, "Must we send her away? How do we know we won't win this war? What if…"
Letoca interrupted her, "My love, I know how you feel but how do we know if we will win? It is better this way. Should we win we will search for her. Should we not she will be safe." Letoca took the child from his mate's arms and placed her in the tiny space pod.
Next to this pod was another. The young girl's older sibling with an almost equal, if not higher, power level than her. The parents launched the two precious bundles into space and reported back to the king. The younger child looked at her parents and planet. She waved her last good bye to the parents she would never see again, thanks to a ruthless monster named Frieza.
Preface: Vegeta has always, no matter how he has tried, been just one step behind Kakarrot. He dreamed of defeating that Terran with sayain powers and making him sorry for destroying his pride. He stove just trying to catch up to the one the earthlings called Goku and hoped for that one chance to be stronger. Is it possible for rage to unleash the power hidden in him or will it remain, forever dormant?
Chapter 1 The Dreams Begin
Vegeta was fighting Frieza and losing terribly. Apparently Frieza had seen something in Vegeta that scared him. The prince knew this because right before Frieza wrapped his tail around his neck, Frieza had looked into Vegeta's eyes and recieved a terrified look on his face, if only for a split second. This had happened the first time this took place, but so quickly no one had noticed.
Now he had lost all will to fight and was only trying to hold on to life, barely dangling by a thread. Suddenly, Frieza melted away into Kakarrot, he could feel him shaking him and saying, "Wake up Vegeta." But after a couple times of repeating it didn't sound like Kakarrot anymore. In fact it sounded like Bulma. He opened his eyes and saw Bulma shaking him in his room.
"What are you doing woman!" He shouted.
"You were screaming your lungs out, and I was worried. What were you dreaming of?" She asked soothingly. Her attempt at making her husband calm down was in vain however.
"Don't worry about it, it was just some stupid dream." He didn't like sharing what he experienced with other people, even if "other people" are his family members.
"Well that was the third time this week I have had to shake you awake so it can't be just 'some dream'. Come on Vegeta what do you want to get off your chest?"
"Nothing just leave me alone and go back to sleep." The prince yelled, a little softer now, he was calming down a little.
Bulma knew she was trying to argue with a brick wall so she just backed down, for now.
The next day Bulma insisted they go to the park for a picnic. Of course Vegeta complained about not being able to train but shut up at the thought of food. Not Bulma's food but Chi Chi's food. It was the only reason he let himself be talked into going.
So they got to the West City park and got out of the cars. All the kids, Goten, Trunks, Bra, Pan, and Marron, played tag at super fast speed. They may have been kids, but they were the sons and daughters of the strongest beings on the planet. Bulma, Videl, Chi-Chi, Eighteen, and Krillin started setting out the picnic supplies while Gohan sat under a tree doing his college homework. Everyone else was busy so Goku and Vegeta decided to go and spar.
Goku had Vegeta way outmatched in size and strength but no one is as agile and cunning as the royal prince himself. Everyone was talking amongst themselves when Bulma brought up the fact about Vegeta having a strange night mares recently.
Chi Chi suggested, "Maybe we could get Goku to read his mind and he could tell us. We all know there isn't a snowflake's chance in hell that Vegeta himself would ever tell us on his own."
Bulma replied, "You know Chi Chi, that is a great idea but to do it we would have to get him unconscious. He wouldn't let Goku lay a hand on him unless he was sparring."
Videl piped up, "I can fly so I will go tell Gohan to occupy Vegeta while we tell Goku the plan."
Bulma chirped, "Great idea Videl. You do that." Videl flew off to go get her husband.
She walked over and said rather quickly, "Gohan we have a problem with Vegeta and he won't spill the beans so we need you to keep him occupied while we tell Goku about the plan."
Gohan looked at her quizzically. "Can you start at the beginning and explain this to me a little further? What is wrong with Vegeta and why do I need to keep him occupied?"
Videl slowed down and summed everything up for him, " OK, Vegeta has been having weird dreams lately and won't say anything about it because, well you know how he is. We need you to fight with him and keep him occupied while we inform Goku on these matters. He has to knock Vegeta out and read his mind."
Gohan was understanding, "Oh I see now. Yeah I know just how stubborn mister high and mighty prince of the saiyans can be. Let's go!" So the couple lifted off and headed for the spar that seemed would never end. (yes pun intended)
Gohan called a time out sign with his arms by making a T shape. He drifted over to Goku and told his father that Bulma wanted to see him. Goku touched Gohan's hand to show he was tagging him for the moment and went back with Videl.
"I see you want to challenge me." Vegeta stated.
"Yeah, lets see if I've still got what it takes to take you down." Gohan played along.
"Oh please, you quite training to study, what a waste of saiyan power." Vegeta shot. He had a smirk on his face. For some reason he never quite forgave Gohan for all that time wasting his energy and muscles away in front of school work.
"Are you going to fight me, or keep insulting me?" Gohan knew Vegeta was only trying to get him mad so he'd try harder.
The talking was done, Gohan and Vegeta dashed at each other at once. They both had their fists out and smashed them into one another. Their knuckles slammed into the crevasses of the other's knuckles. The spectacle was almost hypnotizing.
Bulma walked over to Goku and informed him, "Goku we have a problem with Vegeta. He has been having nightmares for the past three nights and he won't say anything more than it was 'some stupid dream'. We would like you to incapacitate him and retrieve what ever information you are able by any means.
Goku stopped for a minute trying to take it all in. He gave her a puzzled look for a moment.
Eighteen summed it up for him, "OK, all you have to do is knock out the pipsqueak and read his mind. You got that?"
Krillin walked up next to his lovely wife and said, "Well dear that about as blunt as you can put it."
"It's Goku we're talking about here, of course he needs a little more definition. Were you able to understand what the girl genius said?" The blonde retaliated and walked away.
All the human could do was shake his head with a smile on his face, " I love that woman, but sometimes she can be a little too dominating. Well Goku, you think you can handle this one?
"Yeah I could do that, no problem, we all know what Vegeta can be like when he doesn't want to talk. I better get on that then." He said with an exasperated sigh.
He flew up and back to the battle ground. Tagging a very beat up Gohan, he switched places and told the young man he could watch until lunch.
Vegeta said to his rival, "What did the shrew want you for?"
Goku replied, "She wanted to know if I wanted the butterfly or the checker board blanket. I chose the butterfly."
"Oh great we have to eat on a blanket with butterflies on it? You idiot that is not how saiyans dine."
Goku scratched his big dumb head and concluded, "Oh well. Lets just get back to where we left off."
They got into their fighting stances. Each waiting for the other to attack. Goku went for it because Vegeta hadn't made any moves. Goku started throwing punches and kicks Vegeta's way but he dodged and blocked every single one, using only half of his effort. They flew away from each other and Goku let loose a Kamehameha wave. Vegeta, using the time given, threw a Gallic Gun. Neither was too powerful but at the last second Goku put a huge amount of energy into the Kamehameha wave. Then he used instant transmission to get behind Vegeta. Before Vegeta had enough time to block the attack and turn around Goku hit him really hard in the back of the head. His eyes rolled up into the back of his head, then he started descending.
