I have to… stay awake. I have to stay… awake.
I yawned. I'm so tired. It's so late… I'm so sleepy. But I'm scared to go to sleep, because I know that thing will be there. What's it going to do to me…?
I closed my eyes. No… don't. Don't go to sleep… But it's no good. I can't stay awake; I'm too tired. Stay awake… please stay awake…
But I fell asleep.

I looked around. Black again… there was nothing but darkness. I felt afraid. Somebody help me… I'm so scared. What'll happen to me?
"There you are," I heard the monster's voice echoing from all around me.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"Right here." It appeared in front of me. I stepped back.
"What do you want?!" Can it sense the fear in me? I think it can, it's smirking.
"I told you what I want." It said.
"Where's Vegeta?" I demanded.
"Which one? There's two of them."
"Two?" I didn't understand. Weren't there three?
"Well, there will be two." The monster told me.
"What do you mean, "will be" ?" I asked.

"Frieza!" I turned my head to see the brown-haired Vegeta running towards us. He saw the monster and stopped, his eyes wide with fear.
"What is it?" the monster smirked at him. "Have you met my friend?"
"Friend?" Vegeta looked at him. The monster raised its head to look at what had been chasing Vegeta.
"Ah, there you are." It said. I looked as well. I saw a man, I've never seen him before in my life, I don't think. Not since I lost my memories, anyway. He looked like an older version of Vegeta – except he has a beard.
"Get away from me!" Vegeta ran over to me.
"Come here." King Vegeta growled. His eyes… they're like the monster's… except not quite as evil. He doesn't scare me all that much – although he terrifies Vegeta.
"Well, make this quick." The monster sighed. King Vegeta frowned at it, but didn't reply. He looked at me.
"Hand me the boy." He spoke to me in a language I didn't recognize, but still understood.
"You won't get a reaction speaking to him like that." The monster warned. "He doesn't speak saiyan."
"… I understand it, though." I said. King Vegeta smirked at the monster, and looked back at me.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"Are you insane? I'm King Vegeta!" He frowned.
"King?"
"Yes, I'm the damn king! Now give me the boy!."

"No… please…" Vegeta hid behind me. "Frieza, don't let him!"
"Frieza?" King Vegeta repeated. "Isn't that a bit of an odd name for a saiyan?"
"A saiyan?!" the monster burst out laughing. "You mean he actually LOOKS like one to you?"
"What?" King Vegeta looked at him. "What do you mean?!"
"He's no saiyan, take a closer look. He acts like a saiyan, and he certainly wants to be a saiyan, but he is in fact a changeling."
"A changeling?" King Vegeta studied me.
"Yes. My former self, actually. You have that boy… and I have this."
"I don't see it, he's a saiyan!" King Vegeta argued.
"He's not a saiyan, his name is Frieza and he is my friend!" Vegeta yelled. "Don't you remember?!"
"I have none of your memories." King Vegeta replied. "Just come here."

I have a bad feeling…
"What do you want from him?" I asked.
"Well to kill him, of course!" King Vegeta answered. Kill him?!
"You want to WHAT?!"
"How can I exist if my past is still alive?" King Vegeta explained. "Now… GIVE him to me!"
"No!" I stepped in front of Vegeta. I'm not letting anyone kill him, no way! "I'm not giving him to you!"
"You have no choice!" King Vegeta snarled. "Give him to me or I will kill you!"
"I have to kill him." The monster reminded King Vegeta.
"Well do it!" King Vegeta snapped.

"Aah!" I cried out as he suddenly lashed out at me. "Get off!" he knocked me to the floor. What a blow… am I bleeding?
"Frieza!" Vegeta gasped. "Are you okay?!"
"Come here!" King Vegeta grabbed for him.
"No!" Vegeta jumped out of the way. "Leave me alone!" he started to run.
"Come back!" King Vegeta shouted. "If you don't die I won't live!" he chased after Vegeta.
"So don't live!" I scrambled to my feet, and glared at King Vegeta and the monster. "Both of you – just go away!"
"It's you who needs to go away." The monster told me. "Now, hold still."
"No!" I dodged as he tried to attack me. "Get away from me!" I ran after Vegeta and King Vegeta.
"You can't escape and you have nowhere to go!" The monster's calling after me. "So why don't you just same your time and give up?"

I can see Vegeta running ahead. King Vegeta's gaining on him… I ran faster, and jumped at King Vegeta. I knocked him to the ground.
"Hey!" he threw me off.
"Ha ha!" Vegeta beamed. "Thanks, Frieza!"
"It's okay, just keep –" I gasped when I saw another saiyan grab him. It was that other Vegeta – the older one with the heart. He smirked at me.
"Nice try."
"Ha!" King Vegeta stood up. "Well done." He walked over to them.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted. I tried to run at them, but something grabbed my tail. I looked to see what. The monster.
"Don't worry, you'll have your revenge." It said.
"Huh?"
"Frieza –" I heard a squidgy sound, and turned back around to see what had happened. My eyes widened.

"You – you killed him!"
"Yes." King Vegeta said, walking away from the other Vegetas.
"But - - WHY?!" I shouted. "Why did you – I hate you!" I tried to run at him, but the monster grabbed me and held me back.
"Don't you even DARE!" it hissed into my ear. I swallowed, and I can feel myself trembling.

"Now it's your turn." The adult Prince Vegeta said, looking at King Vegeta.
"What?" King Vegeta replied.
"Don't you remember?" Prince Vegeta asked. He smirked. "Now it's time for your part of the bargain."
"Bargain…?" what bargain? I listened to the rest of it.
