Chapter One
With Many Leftovers
Vegeta lay helpless. Completely helpless. In the enemy's lair. In the very place he should not be, let alone in Radditz's lair. The humans and aliens outside the door waited for their chance to kill him, their chance to beat upon the once mighty Prince of the Saiyans. His eyes had swollen shut, his face was horribly swollen elsewhere, his chest had a hole blown through it, but he was alive. He wish he had died, he wished that woman had not taken pity on him. Pity, what a disgusting word. He was the leader was the toughest gang, but his thought drifted toward that night, the night he let his group down.

It was dark and cold. Each breath from the group materialized into a fine mist. Vegeta smiled as Goku finished the story of his and ChiChi's first time out on the town.
"I swear, she was so scared to be seen with me!" Goku laughed.
"Shut up," ChiChi said, giving him a playful slap on the shoulder.
"Yoooooou knooooooooow I looooooove yooooou!" Goku sung softly.
"Stop it," ChiChi giggled.
"You two make me sick," said the thin blonde.
"Don't be so mean, 18," the shortest of the group said with a grin. "I remember when we first started dating..."
"Krillin!" 18 blushed.
Vegeta chuckled from the head of the group.
"All of you are idiots," he snickered.
"So says the jilted!" came a voice, a sinister voice from above.
Vegeta's eyes widened with fear, his heart pounding in his chest. A menacing laugh of malice filled the dark streets, the group only visible via the streetlight they stood almost conveniently under. Vegeta turned to his group, a maddening look in his eyes.
"RUN!" he screamed at them.
"SCATTER!" Goku yelled soon after.
Shots rang out from every dark corner as the group ran, each breath a streaming mist of urgency. Vegeta's feet slammed into the group as he ran off, he couldn't sense the enemy; he ran his group right into a trap! CRACK! He heard it, he felt it, he stopped.
Goku turned in mid-stride to see Vegeta's face contort, blood flow from his mouth, and the offending projectile shoot from his chest, leaving a spray of blood in its wake. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. Goku's face twisted into one of worry and anger.
"NO!" Goku shouted as he took off in Vegeta's direction.
His bravery was rewarded by a shot to the leg; he didn't take notice. He watched helplessly as his friend fell to his knees, then face first into the snow. Goku knelt close to him and turned him on his back, Vegeta's eyes were not focused.
"Vegeta...Wake up... Please..." Goku sobbed quietly.
"Kakarot..." Vegeta's eye twitched. "Leave me."
"NO!" Goku shouted stoically.
Vegeta's eyes focused on the symbolic snow now falling from the sky.
"ChiChi needs you," Vegeta said with finality.
Goku looked at Vegeta, whose eyes never quite focused back. He sniffed sadly.
"Take the ring from my right hand, you have to lead them to safety," Vegeta gasped out.
More tears ran down Goku's face, Vegeta was lost to them. Lost to them all. He took the ring as he was told, gently placed Vegeta's head on the ground, then ran off, just as another bullet pierced his right shoulder. The shots ceased when Goku was out of sight, leaving Vegeta with the peace of the snowy night, his body slowly losing feeling. Two blurry figures appeared, that's when the beating started.
&&&&&
That left him here, inside the lair of the very man who wanted no more than to kill him. However, there was a girl, a girl who wanted no more than to save him. For the time being. There was no telling what would happen in the coming days. He could only pray to Kami that Radditz would not kill him so soon. Before he could have his revenge.
