Disclaimer: Hewo everyone. Yes I know, it has been forever, but hey, I delivered didn't I? I was originally going to make this chapter longer, but I figured it would be better if I just split it up. (It also makes it easier on my beta reader, thank you so much for enduring this Mabby ^.^)
Right, well, I don't own any of the characters except, Leektra, Aspearga, Eoric, Letoca, and Oninia. I also don't own the story of Dragon Ball Z, but I do own this story and the idea it follows.
OK, I hope you all enjoy another fun filled chapter of Forever Dormant. (Pssst... OK all you Veggie lovers out there, don't worry, Vegeta is in this chapter. This whole story is about him, I don't know what full moon I was looking at when I left him out of last chapter. Oh well.)
Forever Dormant
Chapter 9 Aspearga's Entrance
A saiyan watches ever still from his post. He has noticed that his prince was taken by a girl... a girl that he knew. Where did he know this girl? What was her name?
She obviously had no intent to bring harm upon the prince for she tended to his wounds after battle. What, then, could her purpose be? If she did not want him dead, why would she want to deal with him at all?
Could she be after his genes? Did she want to attempt to rebuild the saiyan race? No, this girl, as he could recall, had no intent to bear children. What reason would he serve to her?
"General, we have a breach sir," A soldier cried out.
"Yes lieutenant, what is it?" The saiyan general asked.
"Demons sir, they are attacking the palace. We need you to lead us into battle." The soldier explained.
"Is there any idea where the demons are from?" the general pressed the lieutenant further.
"Well sir, we are not entirely sure but their origin seems to be spaceship in the living world," The lieutenant replied.
"That is all the information I need. Return to your duty lieutenant, I shall be with you shortly," The saiyan stated and took his leave.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Once again Vegeta had taken to training as his entire life. After shooing Trunks out he had isolated himself from the rest of the world. If you considered training a sort of punishment then he was overly brutal on himself. For the first time in his training life he had turned the force up to 5,000 times earth's normal gravity. The room seemed blue with the amount of energy it strained to produce.
It was the very most the machine could take. Vegeta knew he had to do this if he wanted to catch up to that kisama Kakarrot. The baka would not take this fight that was rightfully his. Kakarrot had gained control in a fight that was Vegeta's right to end. Kakarrot then defeated the adversary. Not this time, Vegeta wanted to be the one to deliver the final blow in this hunt. He wanted to prove to himself and everyone else that he did not depend on Kakarrot, Gohan, Pan, Trunks, Bra, Goten, Leektra or anybody. It would be a strenuous task that he had done before, and would require much labor, but he was more than willing to put forth that effort and that was what he was doing. The fiery lust inside him for battle had not been extinguished. Not now, not ever.
The prince suddenly felt the gravity beat down upon him. Just as the gravity hit, something else happened. A burst of light entered Vegeta's mind, and a blinding flash struck him and he fell forward on his chest, covering his eyes with his hands. He brought his arms out before him and hoisted himself up with an undignified grunt. The gravity had begun to take effect. He looked for the cause of the interruption and there before him were shadowed figures. They spoke to him in silky voices.
"You weakling, you are not fit to be of the saiyan race," They said to him. It was one of Frieza's minions, they loved to mock him like this. He punched at the enemy, but it disappeared before his punch connected with the silhouette.
"If you truly are a super saiyan you should be able to overcome an obstacle such as a us," they accused him. Another of Frieza's insects. He lashed out towards the creature but it, too, had vanished.
"Such a powerful saiyan could have prevented the destruction of his world." Their chastisement echoed through his head. There was another of the lizard's soldiers. Would their plague on his mind never end? This had never happened when he was awake. Even in dreams it had not been this vivid, why now? He tried to hit this one too, but he met only air.
"Stop taunting me! Whoever is in charge of this come out and show yourself! I want answers and I want them now!!" Vegeta screamed. His anger fueled the power of his ki, the heated rage flowing throughout his body.
Then came another. It was the worst, most terrifying enemy he had ever faced. The one who remained the longest. The one who could never leave. It was the very thing he feared most of any and all things in the universe. This person, no... monster, was.... himself.
The next instant, blinding, white-hot rage was gone, replaced by an icy anger. The kind that you experience when you face someone and you seem calm but you have just as much anger as any other type of rage.
He could not see the foe there, but he felt him within himself. He listened as his own lips moved to vocalize the hissed words he had never heard before, nor thought to say.
He felt his mouth twist into that old smirk he wore to place uneasiness into the hearts of his enemies. "Stupid fool, what have you done? You have destroyed much of what you once were. Stop with the hiding, the personality you have hidden behind denies your legacy. You created it to escape the worries of your true responsibilities. Did you really want to do that? Well, I'm still here. It's the old part of you, you strive to rid yourself of me, but you don't want me gone, do you? You find comfort in having me here. I am the other side of you, I am the other half of what makes you who you are.
I can feel it, you wish to keep me inactive, in hiding, barely existing as it is. Fine, but I will warn you. What you have caged up inside will not remain... forever dormant." He told himself. There was suddenly another flash of light in front of his mind but this time it was a searing crimson hue. He fell forward to his knees. After he had begun to collect himself Vegeta began to rise. He snarled at the long time enemy.
The presence of the other part of himself had seemed to vanish. Vegeta was left in the room alone. The prince knew his old self was still there, still torturing him, still taunting him, but it seemed inactive once again.
Vegeta, puzzled, returned to his training. Perhaps if he could up his power level he'd have a better chance at controlling his other half. With this thought to motivate him, along with the desire to be stronger in general, he continued the vigorous training.
"Chikuso, I must get stronger to defeat these foes. The ones on the outside... and the ones on the inside," he told himself. It needs no writing to know whom he was referring to.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Leektra and Bulma managed to get back home from the mall without any heated disagreements. In fact, they did not speak a word throughout the whole car ride. Leektra took her items into the house using her telekinesis. It didn't seem quite so strange in front of the Capsule Corp. building. Perhaps because the locals knew that Dr. Briefs always seemed to invent the strangest things. They most likely had mistaken the site for one of Dr. Brief's experiments.
As soon as she transferred all her items to her room Leektra took her training clothes with her to change into once she made it to the gravity machine. The saiyan elite made the small trek only to discover a sign on the door that read, "Do not disturb, Wish to train alone. Signed Vegeta Saiyan No Ouji.
"Hmmm... well, if he wants to train alone..." she murmured aloud. Leektra really wanted to train but Vegeta hadn't had a chance to train by himself for awhile and she knew that was what he preferred. The saiyan elite let the prince train by himself with a heavy sigh, wandering off to see what the others were up to.
Leektra went back through the door into the Capsule Corp. building and up to Trunks' room. She found him sitting in front of his game council playing Soul Caliber 2. A smile broke across her face.
"Ha, I challenge thee to Soul Caliber II!" Leektra exclaimed. Trunks turned around and produced another controller.
"Thou dost except thy challenge," the purple haired boy replied.
"Thou shalt kick thine arse," the female saiyan warned.
"Ah, we shall see, Milady, we shall see," The son of the prince chortled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Within this time frame Bulma had retreated back to down to the lab. She was still working on finding out what was wrong with her mate.
Put this wire here, and this wire goes there..." she muttered to herself as she worked on a device. "Now then... I wonder if it will work. It should according to my calculations. It also requires complete cooperation... with him I probably won't get that," Bulma sighed,
"Well, I'll have to try. If we don't know the cause we can't find what they mean... they could mean something important or they could just mean he's having some sort of post trauma experience. I'll never know until I find out," Bulma convinced herself. With that she went on, continuing construction on her new creation.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I see I can't just leave it to those below me. She killed the last one I sent."
A woman, silhouetted by shadows, said as she peered into the monitor. Amazingly enough, she had yet to look at the prince when he transformed into super saiyan.
I'll go to him myself. I just know he'll enjoy my visit," the woman declared and strode further into the shadows.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Vegeta was still at training. His exertion was so great that it was beginning to become difficult to stand.
"I must get stronger. I will not stop. I will never stop. Never," he ordered himself.
Suddenly, he felt a presence outside. He did not recognize the ki signature. The prince went to investigate out the window. Someone was, indeed, there.
She looked about 5'6" and had really long legs and a long torso. The woman's hair was jet black and grew just below her ears. A brown, furry belt circled her curved waist. No, wait. That belt was a tail, a saiyan tail.
Vegeta suddenly knew who she was. The female saiyan held a large resemblance to her sister. However, one distinguishing feature on her face was different from her sibling's, her eyes.
Unlike Leektra, whose eyes were deep brown, this girl's eyes were a piercing ice blue. They didn't hold much depth then, but their appearance remained dangerous. She composed herself as a beautiful youth with all the intelligence you could ask for, but a certain air about her gave off the impression that she really was indeed mad and she didn't bother to hide it.
This girl was none other than the one he had been itching to fight, Aspearga.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What could this mean for our favorite Veggie-chan? Will he get out of this little scrape or will Aspearga get her way with him? Find out in the next installment of, Forever Dormant.
Oh and don't forget that you must REVIEW!!!!
Oh right. I was going to warn all of you out there. This story has been going along somewhat humorous as of the now, but there is much angst to come. Angst will be in later chapters as situations become more dire and difficult to overcome. As for all you that don't like angst, you won't like those chapters because they will be very powerful and very painful. Don't worry for all you angst lovers, one of the best angst writers is not going to let her fans down.
(little voice inside head) She must be talking about someone else."
(me) "..........." *falls over*
(lvih) What? How do you know if you're one of the best?
(me) Oh I suppose you're right, but I'm still pretty good...
(lvih) OK, I'll let you have that one
(me) Yay, the little voice inside my head finally agrees with me on something.
Well thanks for reading this chapter and my little rant and remember to REVIEW!!!! Or I'll send my Giant Flying Hamster Of Doom To Rain Coconuts On Your Pitiful City.. Mwahahahahahaha..."
Right, well, I don't own any of the characters except, Leektra, Aspearga, Eoric, Letoca, and Oninia. I also don't own the story of Dragon Ball Z, but I do own this story and the idea it follows.
