Chapter 11
Zarbon and who?
(AN: In earlier chapters I wrote 'I found them!' Well now we meet 'Them' with some twists, ENJOY!)
Vegeta reappeared in his room at the mansion. It was huge with a cherry wood four poster canopy bed with a black blanket with red silk sheets under it. A deeper red silk fell from the posters to hide most of it from open view.
Vegeta threw his shirt, vest and coat onto the bed and walked over to his gigantic closet. Pushing the sliding wood doors aside he walked inside. Racks were filled with clothes he had only worn maybe twice in this decade but was over flowing with things, mostly black.
Vegeta kicked off his boots and undid his belt letting his pants fall to the ground, more things on his mind than modesty. He grabbed a black spandex suit, sticking one leg as fast as he could keeping a steady clam look on his face. He then grabbed a pair of gold trimmed boots with a matching pair of gloves. As a final touch he added a white breastplate. Satisfied Vegeta walked out of his closet to sit on his bed to think. A shine of gold caught his eye on the dresser next to the bed.
Reaching over he picked it up in his hands. It was a very old and worn pendant with the seal of the Great House of Vegeta on it. It was really more like a trident with a half circle under it. It had been Vegeta's for centuries now and he never left it behind, and only he knew of it, not even Talana. She was to young to remember what it meant anyway.
"Maybe Talana you wouldn't be so screwed up if it hadn't been for Zarbon. Or maybe it's my fault; I'm the one that waited. After I was turned I could have taken Tobias's help to save you; but you must understand I hated him for making me what I had always feared. I fought so hard to save you and me from those damn vampires and what happened, I turned you.
"But I couldn't let you die. When Tobias astroprojected himself to me telling me that you were dying in an ally how could I not come? I transported to that ally and found my baby sister now a proud 24 barely clothed and you were torn to shreds. You didn't even know who I was. But I changed you just the same; I even took you back to my training base in England.
"And that next day who showed up but Tobias, worse for the wear, but there. When you in embraced him crying I knew you and him were lovers. The rage I felt at that bastard touching my only family was almost too much. I heard you tell him that it was Zarbon, Freeza 'Priest' that violated your body! That sick son of a bitch beat you, my only family till you were almost dead and fucked you in that damn ally!"" In his rage Vegeta throw the pendant at the closest wall. But before it hit he stopped it with his mind bringing back to his waiting hand.
"I wanted to kill Tobias for letting this happen, and Zarbon for what he did to you but Tobias was closer. I tore you from him and was ready to kill him and I would have if you hadn't caught my hand. I remember you asked me who I was; I was so shocked I let Tobias go. 'Your brother Vegeta. He's the one that saved you.' Tobias said. You know what you asked? 'The traitor?'
"I told you what really happened and that we were now both Super Elite Vampires. And Tobias told you that now all of us were traitors. He said we had to hide for a while but I told him I would not hide with that bastard so you had to make the choice of Tobias or me. I still remember your sad look when you disappeared with Tobias. A brother you didn't know or a know lover, I guess I can't blame you. But soon I came around and joined you. I mean you are my only blood how could I leave you?" Using his mind he dropped the pendant he was talking to back on the dresser.
"And now it's time to make them pay." Vegeta said standing up and transporting out of his room.

"Son of a bitch, thinks you can get rid of me so easily, well try this. Hope you like wearing pantsts cause there's a nice little tracking device in them. I'm a genius; like I wouldn't have all types of project in my room." Bulma muttered jumping onto her sports car. The tracking device was similar to the DragonBall radar only meant for the small tracker on Vegeta.
"You won't tell me anything about you, well I'm going to find out." She said turning the engine on and pulling out of her drive in hot pursuit.
***
Vegeta reappeared in the living room. Both Tobias and Talana were dressed entirely in black. Talana a pair of skintight black leather pants and a black tank top with one of Tobias's leather jackets. For once she let her tattoo's show of a black dragons with red eyes curling around each upper arm their mouths blowing blue fire from her elbow joint to encircle the black bangles tattooed on her forearm. Vegeta was positive if he removed her jacket with the Japanese symbols for strength, intelligence, power, wisdom and beauty would touch all five points of the giant pentagram tattooed on her back. She had streaked her hair black so she strangely resembled a zebra and pulled it into a tight bun.
Tobias's wore baggier clothing his leather jacket hiding the same marks that Talana had but without the bangles.
"You two ready?" Vegeta questioned. Talana looked up for once her eyes were solemn and Vegeta could see a hint of fear at encountering her green haired destroyer.
"Almost do you want to see the black retard before we go."
Vegeta nodded.
"Sure I could use a laugh." Vegeta responded. Talana got up and led the way to a room and swung open the door. Vegeta froze for a minute before doubling over laughing.
Yamcha sat in a corner gently rocking while stroking his um *coff coff* miniature penis and talking to it.
"It's okay Captain Winky I won't let anyone ever hurt your magnificence again. Because you're a good captain and you always steer me right. Isn't that right, right?" He yelled shaking his penis. "Why won't you answer me Captain. Oh know Captains dead he cradled his Dick in his hands. No, no," His voice trailed off into pathetic mumbling. Talana closed the door.
"He keeps doing it over and over again." Talana said shaking her head sadly. "Oh well." she said shrugging. She linked arms with him. Just another bastard getting what's coming to him. Now lets hurry I mean we have thousand year revenge to settle for our dad and our moms murder. A bastard to castrate and cut off all limbs for raping and leaving me to die. I mean we have a big day ahead of us so we better get cracking.
Vegeta just shook his head. "Well now that our enemies are coming back to Earth let's go meet them." What Tobias found was that the reason they couldn't find their foes on Earth was that they weren't on Earth. Around 1640 the two found a space ship and had been in space ever sine. Talana nodded and they both went to retrieve Tobias. He was pulling a device off the table when they came back.
"Where we going?" Talana asked grabbing the device from Tobias.
"It's there." Tobias said as Vegeta took a look at it. Making a note on where to appear Vegeta turned to his teammates.
"Let's go." Vegeta said read to leave.
"That's your big motivation speak? Kind of crappy to me." Talana said.
"I agree." Tobias replied looking up.
"Don't die. There is that better? Now lets go." Vegeta snarled annoyed. They shrugged but followed his lead as he transported out. They all reappeared on a grassy hill next to a lake. The wind was soft and the weather good but no one was around, well almost.
"Kakarrot! What are you people doing here?" Vegeta cried at seeing not only Goku but also Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo.
"What's Kakarrot?" Goku asked stupidly. He was barely heard over Talana's laughter.
"It doesn't matter, what does is that it fits!" She laughed leaving everyone in the dark. 'I guess it does.' Vegeta thought staring at the fool. 'Kakarrot is a very rude term from a long for gotten language but it does go well with that man.' "What are you people doing here anyway?" She questioned.
"Well we were waiting for theses two guys to show up really." Krillin said stepping froward. Vegeta glared at him shocked at what he said.
"What!" Vegeta roared. 'How do they know about Freeza and Zarbon?'
"Krillin's right." Goku said stepping next to his friend. "My brother Raddiz crash landed on earth about two years ago. We beat him easy, and all of us recovered fine but he died telling us of two people far more powerful than him that would be here in two years. He was in this army like empire commanded by this man named Freeza that takes over planets. Well we felt the ki and are waiting here." Talana held up her hand and everything froze.
Vegeta looked at Talana and Tobias. "Guys I know this is going to get my ear eaten off but can you please get these fools out of here?" They just stared at him. Well Talana glared at him.
"Are you crazy or is it just me?" Talana questioned him. "Because you would have to be to think that I would actually leave this battle and you.
"I don't have the mind powers to convince them that they are fighting someone and not know that they're not here anymore. Do this for me. Or else I will go on a nice rampage at the nearest schools and children's hospitals." They both glared at him but they turned to the group to get started.
"Take them somewhere and I'll call if I need you."
"Remember your not allowed to die." Talana called disappearing with the small band just as two fiery streaks in the atmosphere appeared. Vegeta stayed where he was on the ground waiting. The two pods landed with a great crash sending tons of dust into the air still not fazing Vegeta.
'I shouldn't have let them go like that but now no one will be hurt. Wait a second did I really just think that?! Getting laid after so long is really messing with my head.' Vegeta thoughts stopped as the dust settled. Before him were two men but one was not who he was waiting for.
Zarbon was dressed in a black spandex with no legs much to Vegeta's horror. He had a white breastplate on with matching boots. He had black leggings on his arms for some odd reason and wearing an upside down cross. But what Vegeta was looking at was this alien next to him that wasn't Freeza.
It was two feet taller then Vegeta and was VERY fat but that wasn't the thing that made it very clear that he was an alien. Its spiked arms were pink, actually all of him was pink. He wore black armor with full body suit that this looked terrible on him.
"What is that suppose to be Zarbon, your excess bubble gum?" Vegeta spat taking in the pink blob.
"You must be Vegeta, pretty arrogant for a low class vampire. I'm Dodoria, Lord Freeza's right hand man. More than a match for you." It said with a sneer, peering from under it's crested eyes. Vegeta just laughed.
"Zarbon! Give me your word that you will not intervene in this little 'exchange of words' and then we'll get down to business." Vegeta said turning his attention to the green vampire. Zarbon's eye were narrowed trying to see if Vegeta was bluffing, he wasn't.
"I don't see why you continue this pointless feud against Master Freeza."
"You don't get it Zarbon. What you and that lizard have done to my family is unforgivable, and you will pay with your undead lives. But if you insist on putting these worthless simpletons in my way, so be it. But don't get in the way." Vegeta could hear his voice leave his mouth in a low hiss, deep and penetrating. Surprisingly Zarbon was smiling.
"You don't stand a chance against Dodoria let alone Master Freeza. Yes, I'll give you my word I wont intervene, I'll just watch you die." The last thing he said came as just as much a hiss as Vegeta's.
"Good." Vegeta said with an evil smirk. To a normal person it looked like Vegeta's image flickered and nothing more, but then again how do explain that the once tall Dodoria was now doubled over gasping in pain. Zarbon was shocked; this scouter read no change in Vegeta's ki but some how he had moved so fast that Dodoria and him couldn't even see it.
"You bastard! What the hell are you doing? This is a fight not an ambush!" Dodoria yelled finally standing strait again.
"You seemed up to the challenge when you thought I would be the one caught unaware." Vegeta piped crossing his arms over his chest. (AN: Damn I love this!) Dodoria just glared.
"From my understanding you are 1000 years old, there is no way you could be so powerful." He growled never taking his eyes off of Vegeta.
"It's 1290 not 1000. And just for the fun of it I'll tell you how I became so strong. My sire has the rare ability to sense ki, it appeared when he was turned. To him it was just a talent to know where your food was and soon forgot about it. But my sister didn't, she thought that if you could feel a person's life force then there must be away to use it. Tobias proved that there was a difference in other vampires. The older they were the more mixed and strong.
"The only real difference is how many people they had eaten. When I joined the group I put the last link in place. The way to take another person's ki completely while drinking their blood. In doing that I have become a master with my own ki and can sense it in others. With this knowledge and power you don't stand a chance." Vegeta finished triumphantly.
"If those vermin I heard about are what you alley yourself and base your power then you don't stand a chance." Dodoria said now smug. "To show you that not all alien's are so bad I'll let you go, after you tell me where the dragonballs are." He said lightly trying to convince Vegeta, it didn't work.
"What are you so afraid of? Why don't you just come at me? Could it be in that 400 years that Freeza was gone I have become stronger than any before me. You saw my power reading before, well it was nothing and so is ours at full power." Vegeta said now full out smiling.
"IS THAT SO! I GAVE YOU A CHANCE AND YOU BLEW IT! AND NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Dodoria screamed powering up in a very flashy show of light his body seeming to puff out with all his energy. 'Fool' Vegeta thought not even tensing for the attack. Dodoria raised his huge arms above his head charging his ki blast and with a great howl unleashed it. The power behind the attack came pouring from his hands lighting the area. Nothing could with stand it, except Vegeta that is.
He was behind the pink blob before he had even brought his hands down. Dodoria froze as he heard the deep tones of the young vampire. "You gave ME a chance? And now I'm going to die? Do you honestly believe that?" His tone was cold and mocking.
Dodoria took this chance to swing his arm back planning on catching Vegeta off guard. Vegeta caught it easily with one hand. To counter the move Dodoria swung his foot to knock him down. Vegeta instead leaped in to the air still holding onto his arm using it to throw HIM off balance. He quickly moved over the offending leg pulling him back and twisting to land again behind Dodoria unharmed. Using his advantage Vegeta grabbed Dodoria's other arm and pulled back arcing his back with a painful crack.
"You're nothing. Vampires have a knack for coming back stronger than they were in life. The more we fight the stronger we become. And I have fought more people than you can ever imagine. Your strength is nothing compared to mine, I do hope that in your next life you come back as a true warrior." Vegeta spat pulling back harder straining the already meek body in his grasp.
"Wait Vegeta let me go and I'll tell you why Freesia chose your family, the Great House of Vegeta!" Dodoria cried desperately stalling for time. What he did do was shock Vegeta into letting go of him.
"WHAT!?"
"DODORIA STOP!" That caught both of their attention for neither Vegeta or Dodoria knew who had spoken, it was Zarbon. Although he had stayed out of their fight but he was now looking very alarmed.
"I thought I had your word to stay out of this 'exchange of words'? Are you a liar was well as a rapist?" Vegeta hissed rounding on the intrusion. Instead of attacking, which from the look of it he wanted to, he stiffened and fell silent. "Now what was that Dodoria?" Vegeta said turning to his frightened opponent.
"You wouldn't kill me after I tell you.would you?" He said looking at Vegeta questionably.
"Don't tell me and I'll kill you now. Say it!"
"Lord Freeza was out one night looking for something to eat when he found your mother, but she wasn't alone, you were there. He saw in you an aura of power, something about the way your fathers make up has the result of having this.power aura in his offspring. He took an interest in you."
Vegeta could remember than night. He had been 9 but already very well grown. Word of his grandfather had arrived last week confirming what they had thought for the past 3 months. His ship had been lost at sea with him aboard making Vegeta's father the new head of business. His mother and him had gone to the marketplace to get something special for dinner. In their family they focused on the good not the bad.
"He followed you home and heard about your father's new venture and made his plan to get close. Joining your father in the shipping company and being 'friends' was the best way to do that." He continued.
"I already knew all this, so what else do you got?" Vegeta sneered getting tried of this run down memory lane.
(AN: Ok let me explain this next part. Vegeta's mom is not the same one as Talana's. It was one of the reasons that Vegeta didn't like Talana when he was alive. But after Freesia killed everyone and took Talana he felt a kind of honor to up hold and to save her from what he went through. Again all will be explained soon.)
"But do you know how your mother died?" Dodoria asked a small smirk pulling at his mouth. Vegeta just glared waiting for him to continue. "Freeza convinced your father to go on that ship to China. Knowing that he would be gone a very long time. And we all know what happened three days after he left. She was found attacked by wolves on the way home. It was Freeza, not some dogs; he just made it look that way so he would get custody of you." Dodoria was now happy he was going to make it out alive if the story he told Vegeta would hold his mind for a few seconds.
'Yes I remember that day.' Vegeta thought reliving something he very much hated.
*Flashback*
He had waited up all night for his mother to return. He couldn't stop worrying that he would never see her rich black hair coming over the hill to their home. Her warm smile greeting him telling him he was worrying for nothing. Her perfectly tanned hand taking his hand and leading him to bed where he should be at this late hour. But young Vegeta kept staring out the window waiting.
***
He didn't know how but he had fallen asleep while waiting. At first he wasn't sure what had woken him. Then he heard it again at loud knocking was coming from the front door.
"Mother!" The small Vegeta cried rushing for the door. It didn't hit him till he was turning the door handle that his mother wouldn't have knocked but by then it was to late. (AN: And remember vampires came change shape.) In the doorway stood two men.
One was dressed in priests robes complete with a collar. His blond was pulled back in an extremely long braid that was pulled over his shoulder. And he was tall, well at lest compared to Vegeta and his companion. The man next to him was very strange. He was very short with black hair, slicked back, and had dark lips and reddish brown eyes. But make no mistake the short one was the leader.
"Mr. Vegeta I presume?" It spoke in an almost feminine voice. Vegeta's smile faded into a glare, but he nodded. "We haven't met but we know of each other. I am Lord Freeza and this is my personal faith consultant, Zarbon." The blond man nodded his greeting; Vegeta ignored him. Freeza was his father's new business partner and he had heard some very untrusting things about him.
"I regret to inform you that your mother was found yesterday on the side of the rode attacked by wolves. I am here to tell you that you are to pack your things and come live with me. I have already taken care of her remains, so we can get on our way as soon as possible." Lord Freeza continued as thought he had not seen the exchange between the two.
Vegeta had stopped breathing; he had been right, his mother was never coming home. His father was gone and may not return for years and he was left with a man no one trusted or knew anything about. But he didn't show any emotion to these strange people he just nodded solemnly and left the door open to get his things.
He didn't care weather they came in or not use headed up the stairs to his room. Pulled a new saddlebag off his desk and started to pack. He put clothes inside not even looking at what they were, he grabbed a gold pendant on a thin chain with his family's seal engraved in it, and last of all a picture of his family. The black ink was freshly painted from last week. His father had insisted and so he slipped it in at he bottom for he couldn't bear to look at it.
On his way down the stairs he paused to put on his green riding cloak noticing that the door was closed and voices coming from the living room. He walked to the doorway caring his heavy pack with both hands.
"I am ready." Vegeta said speaking for the first time. Both of men turned to look at him, the smaller one smiling.
"Yes you are my young Elite." He said smiling wider. Vegeta eyebrows came together but did not ask what he meant. Vegeta followed them out to the front yard and found a shingle horse carriage waiting for them. Zarbon leap with amazing ease into the driver's seat while Lord Freeza stood aside waiting for Vegeta to open the door, Vegeta didn't move. Freesia glared at him.
"Mr. Vegeta open the door." He spoke. With out realizing what he was doing Vegeta had pulled the door open, to say the lest Vegeta was shocked. But instead of holding the door open young Vegeta slammed the door closed before Freeza had a chance to enter, also glaring. "Fine." Freeza breathed, with a flick of his eyes the door flew open and slammed next to Vegeta's face.
Vegeta stood in shock as Lord Freeza stepped passed him into the carriage. At the same time his bag flew out of his hands and into the dark opening.
"Vegeta come!" Freeza ordered form inside. This time Vegeta felt like he was being pulled inside even though he tried to fight it. When he finally sat down the pulling stopped and he lunged for the door only to have it slammed in his face. Finally he looked at his captor as gasped.
The man he had just met was gone, next to his bag was a demon! It had pink arms and legs with three toed feet. It had two black polished horns with matching lips. Its cold red eyes stared at Vegeta with a kind of smile on its face. It didn't take long for Vegeta to figure out that this thing was in fact Lord Freeza.
"If it means anything to you I was once human. But now I am the oldest vampire ever, almost 2 and a half million years old. I have quite amazing powers so I would try any thing while you are my charge. Oh and nothing will work on Zarbon either, he is the second oldest of my Elite's." The thing known as Freeza spoke.
"What do you want with me demon?" Vegeta spat not moving from his place on the floor still holding onto the door handle.
"It's vampire, Mr. Vegeta, get it right. I only change people that have an aura of power about them and you have it."
"You want to make me a de- vampire?!" Vegeta asked alarmed.
"Not for another 19 years so don't think much of it. But till that time I will train you to be a gentleman as my charge."
"I don't want to be your charge." Vegeta said defiantly standing up, which was hard for the carriage was now moving.
"You don't have a choice in the matter. And again I warn you, telling anyone what I am will only result in me killing everyone in the village and moving on with you. Don't worry we'll get along just fine."
*Flashback*
Vegeta hated him. He never missed a chance to make Freeza's life harder. And that Zarbon, using the bible to justify what Freeza was doing. Vegeta knew he didn't believe anything that was in the holy book. He was so old he went from religion to religion never believing a word they said. Zarbon would beat him though very time he said this, starting Vegeta's hate for priests and their torture.
When Vegeta was 13 his father returned home freeing Vegeta from Freeza after four years of living trapped in the household. For the first week he was thrown in the basement, but after a while Vegeta calmed down and was given a room with only one window but much more comfortable.
When his father returned Vegeta did not tell him of his partner's secret for he was promised that if he stayed quite his father would not be harmed, and Vegeta would be left alone. After his father heard of his wife's death Vegeta's father did two things, got a bodyguard for his son named Nappa and got a new blond wife. Vegeta felt as through what he had gone through meant nothing to his father, even the death of his first wife.
"Sorry if the shock was too great for you. But I'll take this time to return to my master." Dodoria said bringing Vegeta back to the present.
"Don't get me wrong Dodoria. I could care less about what Freeza has done. For a moment I was just angry that I let myself be used by you bastards." Vegeta said powering up. Dodoria now realizing his fate flew off for Zarbon.
"Zarbon help me!" The terrified man screamed racing for his friend, Zarbon didn't move. With one hand Vegeta let a ki bast pour from his hand whipping out Dodoria. "Now Zarbon it's your turn. Shall we begin the real fight?" Vegeta said turning to the shocked vampire with an evil sneer.
Zarbon and who?
(AN: In earlier chapters I wrote 'I found them!' Well now we meet 'Them' with some twists, ENJOY!)
Vegeta reappeared in his room at the mansion. It was huge with a cherry wood four poster canopy bed with a black blanket with red silk sheets under it. A deeper red silk fell from the posters to hide most of it from open view.
Vegeta threw his shirt, vest and coat onto the bed and walked over to his gigantic closet. Pushing the sliding wood doors aside he walked inside. Racks were filled with clothes he had only worn maybe twice in this decade but was over flowing with things, mostly black.
Vegeta kicked off his boots and undid his belt letting his pants fall to the ground, more things on his mind than modesty. He grabbed a black spandex suit, sticking one leg as fast as he could keeping a steady clam look on his face. He then grabbed a pair of gold trimmed boots with a matching pair of gloves. As a final touch he added a white breastplate. Satisfied Vegeta walked out of his closet to sit on his bed to think. A shine of gold caught his eye on the dresser next to the bed.
Reaching over he picked it up in his hands. It was a very old and worn pendant with the seal of the Great House of Vegeta on it. It was really more like a trident with a half circle under it. It had been Vegeta's for centuries now and he never left it behind, and only he knew of it, not even Talana. She was to young to remember what it meant anyway.
"Maybe Talana you wouldn't be so screwed up if it hadn't been for Zarbon. Or maybe it's my fault; I'm the one that waited.

I fought so hard to save you and me from those damn vampires and what happened, I turned you.

I transported to that ally and found my baby sister now a proud 24 barely clothed and you were torn to shreds. You didn't even know who I was. But I changed you just the same; I even took you back to my training base in England.
"And that next day who showed up but Tobias, worse for the wear, but there. When you in embraced him crying I knew you and him were lovers. The rage I felt at that bastard touching my only family was almost too much. I heard you tell him that it was Zarbon, Freeza 'Priest' that violated your body! That sick son of a bitch beat you, my only family till you were almost dead and fucked you in that damn ally!"" In his rage Vegeta throw the pendant at the closest wall. But before it hit he stopped it with his mind bringing back to his waiting hand.
"I wanted to kill Tobias for letting this happen, and Zarbon for what he did to you but Tobias was closer. I tore you from him and was ready to kill him and I would have if you hadn't caught my hand. I remember you asked me who I was; I was so shocked I let Tobias go. 'Your brother Vegeta. He's the one that saved you.' Tobias said. You know what you asked? 'The traitor?'

"And now it's time to make them pay." Vegeta said standing up and transporting out of his room.

"Son of a bitch, thinks you can get rid of me so easily, well try this. Hope you like wearing pantsts cause there's a nice little tracking device in them. I'm a genius; like I wouldn't have all types of project in my room." Bulma muttered jumping onto her sports car. The tracking device was similar to the DragonBall radar only meant for the small tracker on Vegeta.

Vegeta reappeared in the living room. Both Tobias and Talana were dressed entirely in black. Talana a pair of skintight black leather pants and a black tank top with one of Tobias's leather jackets. For once she let her tattoo's show of a black dragons with red eyes curling around each upper arm their mouths blowing blue fire from her elbow joint to encircle the black bangles tattooed on her forearm. Vegeta was positive if he removed her jacket with the Japanese symbols for strength, intelligence, power, wisdom and beauty would touch all five points of the giant pentagram tattooed on her back. She had streaked her hair black so she strangely resembled a zebra and pulled it into a tight bun.
Tobias's wore baggier clothing his leather jacket hiding the same marks that Talana had but without the bangles.
"You two ready?" Vegeta questioned. Talana looked up for once her eyes were solemn and Vegeta could see a hint of fear at encountering her green haired destroyer.
"Almost do you want to see the black retard before we go."

"He keeps doing it over and over again." Talana said shaking her head sadly. "Oh well." she said shrugging. She linked arms with him. Just another bastard getting what's coming to him. Now lets hurry I mean we have thousand year revenge to settle for our dad and our moms murder. A bastard to castrate and cut off all limbs for raping and leaving me to die.

Vegeta just shook his head. "Well now that our enemies are coming back to Earth let's go meet them." What Tobias found was that the reason they couldn't find their foes on Earth was that they weren't on Earth. Around 1640 the two found a space ship and had been in space ever sine. Talana nodded and they both went to retrieve Tobias. He was pulling a device off the table when they came back.
"Where we going?" Talana asked grabbing the device from Tobias.
"It's there." Tobias said as Vegeta took a look at it. Making a note on where to appear Vegeta turned to his teammates.
"Let's go." Vegeta said read to leave.
"That's your big motivation speak? Kind of crappy to me." Talana said.
"I agree." Tobias replied looking up.
"Don't die. There is that better? Now lets go." Vegeta snarled annoyed. They shrugged but followed his lead as he transported out. They all reappeared on a grassy hill next to a lake. The wind was soft and the weather good but no one was around, well almost.
"Kakarrot! What are you people doing here?" Vegeta cried at seeing not only Goku but also Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo.
"What's Kakarrot?" Goku asked stupidly. He was barely heard over Talana's laughter.
"It doesn't matter, what does is that it fits!" She laughed leaving everyone in the dark. 'I guess it does.' Vegeta thought staring at the fool. 'Kakarrot is a very rude term from a long for gotten language but it does go well with that man.' "What are you people doing here anyway?" She questioned.
"Well we were waiting for theses two guys to show up really." Krillin said stepping froward. Vegeta glared at him shocked at what he said.
"What!" Vegeta roared. 'How do they know about Freeza and Zarbon?'
"Krillin's right." Goku said stepping next to his friend. "My brother Raddiz crash landed on earth about two years ago. We beat him easy, and all of us recovered fine but he died telling us of two people far more powerful than him that would be here in two years. He was in this army like empire commanded by this man named Freeza that takes over planets. Well we felt the ki and are waiting here." Talana held up her hand and everything froze.
Vegeta looked at Talana and Tobias. "Guys I know this is going to get my ear eaten off but can you please get these fools out of here?" They just stared at him. Well Talana glared at him.
"Are you crazy or is it just me?" Talana questioned him. "Because you would have to be to think that I would actually leave this battle and you.
"I don't have the mind powers to convince them that they are fighting someone and not know that they're not here anymore. Do this for me. Or else I will go on a nice rampage at the nearest schools and children's hospitals." They both glared at him but they turned to the group to get started.
"Take them somewhere and I'll call if I need you."
"Remember your not allowed to die." Talana called disappearing with the small band just as two fiery streaks in the atmosphere appeared. Vegeta stayed where he was on the ground waiting. The two pods landed with a great crash sending tons of dust into the air still not fazing Vegeta.
'I shouldn't have let them go like that but now no one will be hurt. Wait a second did I really just think that?! Getting laid after so long is really messing with my head.' Vegeta thoughts stopped as the dust settled. Before him were two men but one was not who he was waiting for.
Zarbon was dressed in a black spandex with no legs much to Vegeta's horror. He had a white breastplate on with matching boots. He had black leggings on his arms for some odd reason and wearing an upside down cross. But what Vegeta was looking at was this alien next to him that wasn't Freeza.
It was two feet taller then Vegeta and was VERY fat but that wasn't the thing that made it very clear that he was an alien. Its spiked arms were pink, actually all of him was pink. He wore black armor with full body suit that this looked terrible on him.
"What is that suppose to be Zarbon, your excess bubble gum?" Vegeta spat taking in the pink blob.
"You must be Vegeta, pretty arrogant for a low class vampire. I'm Dodoria, Lord Freeza's right hand man. More than a match for you." It said with a sneer, peering from under it's crested eyes. Vegeta just laughed.
"Zarbon! Give me your word that you will not intervene in this little 'exchange of words' and then we'll get down to business." Vegeta said turning his attention to the green vampire. Zarbon's eye were narrowed trying to see if Vegeta was bluffing, he wasn't.
"I don't see why you continue this pointless feud against Master Freeza."
"You don't get it Zarbon. What you and that lizard have done to my family is unforgivable, and you will pay with your undead lives. But if you insist on putting these worthless simpletons in my way, so be it. But don't get in the way." Vegeta could hear his voice leave his mouth in a low hiss, deep and penetrating. Surprisingly Zarbon was smiling.
"You don't stand a chance against Dodoria let alone Master Freeza. Yes, I'll give you my word I wont intervene, I'll just watch you die." The last thing he said came as just as much a hiss as Vegeta's.
"Good." Vegeta said with an evil smirk. To a normal person it looked like Vegeta's image flickered and nothing more, but then again how do explain that the once tall Dodoria was now doubled over gasping in pain. Zarbon was shocked; this scouter read no change in Vegeta's ki but some how he had moved so fast that Dodoria and him couldn't even see it.
"You bastard! What the hell are you doing? This is a fight not an ambush!" Dodoria yelled finally standing strait again.
"You seemed up to the challenge when you thought I would be the one caught unaware." Vegeta piped crossing his arms over his chest. (AN: Damn I love this!) Dodoria just glared.
"From my understanding you are 1000 years old, there is no way you could be so powerful." He growled never taking his eyes off of Vegeta.
"It's 1290 not 1000. And just for the fun of it I'll tell you how I became so strong. My sire has the rare ability to sense ki, it appeared when he was turned. To him it was just a talent to know where your food was and soon forgot about it. But my sister didn't, she thought that if you could feel a person's life force then there must be away to use it. Tobias proved that there was a difference in other vampires. The older they were the more mixed and strong.
"The only real difference is how many people they had eaten. When I joined the group I put the last link in place. The way to take another person's ki completely while drinking their blood. In doing that I have become a master with my own ki and can sense it in others. With this knowledge and power you don't stand a chance." Vegeta finished triumphantly.
"If those vermin I heard about are what you alley yourself and base your power then you don't stand a chance." Dodoria said now smug. "To show you that not all alien's are so bad I'll let you go, after you tell me where the dragonballs are." He said lightly trying to convince Vegeta, it didn't work.
"What are you so afraid of? Why don't you just come at me? Could it be in that 400 years that Freeza was gone I have become stronger than any before me. You saw my power reading before, well it was nothing and so is ours at full power." Vegeta said now full out smiling.
"IS THAT SO! I GAVE YOU A CHANCE AND YOU BLEW IT! AND NOW YOU WILL DIE!" Dodoria screamed powering up in a very flashy show of light his body seeming to puff out with all his energy. 'Fool' Vegeta thought not even tensing for the attack. Dodoria raised his huge arms above his head charging his ki blast and with a great howl unleashed it. The power behind the attack came pouring from his hands lighting the area. Nothing could with stand it, except Vegeta that is.
He was behind the pink blob before he had even brought his hands down. Dodoria froze as he heard the deep tones of the young vampire. "You gave ME a chance? And now I'm going to die? Do you honestly believe that?" His tone was cold and mocking.
Dodoria took this chance to swing his arm back planning on catching Vegeta off guard. Vegeta caught it easily with one hand. To counter the move Dodoria swung his foot to knock him down. Vegeta instead leaped in to the air still holding onto his arm using it to throw HIM off balance. He quickly moved over the offending leg pulling him back and twisting to land again behind Dodoria unharmed. Using his advantage Vegeta grabbed Dodoria's other arm and pulled back arcing his back with a painful crack.
"You're nothing. Vampires have a knack for coming back stronger than they were in life. The more we fight the stronger we become. And I have fought more people than you can ever imagine. Your strength is nothing compared to mine, I do hope that in your next life you come back as a true warrior." Vegeta spat pulling back harder straining the already meek body in his grasp.
"Wait Vegeta let me go and I'll tell you why Freesia chose your family, the Great House of Vegeta!" Dodoria cried desperately stalling for time. What he did do was shock Vegeta into letting go of him.
"WHAT!?"
"DODORIA STOP!" That caught both of their attention for neither Vegeta or Dodoria knew who had spoken, it was Zarbon. Although he had stayed out of their fight but he was now looking very alarmed.
"I thought I had your word to stay out of this 'exchange of words'? Are you a liar was well as a rapist?" Vegeta hissed rounding on the intrusion. Instead of attacking, which from the look of it he wanted to, he stiffened and fell silent. "Now what was that Dodoria?" Vegeta said turning to his frightened opponent.
"You wouldn't kill me after I tell you.would you?" He said looking at Vegeta questionably.
"Don't tell me and I'll kill you now. Say it!"
"Lord Freeza was out one night looking for something to eat when he found your mother, but she wasn't alone, you were there. He saw in you an aura of power, something about the way your fathers make up has the result of having this.power aura in his offspring. He took an interest in you."
Vegeta could remember than night. He had been 9 but already very well grown. Word of his grandfather had arrived last week confirming what they had thought for the past 3 months. His ship had been lost at sea with him aboard making Vegeta's father the new head of business. His mother and him had gone to the marketplace to get something special for dinner. In their family they focused on the good not the bad.
"He followed you home and heard about your father's new venture and made his plan to get close. Joining your father in the shipping company and being 'friends' was the best way to do that." He continued.
"I already knew all this, so what else do you got?" Vegeta sneered getting tried of this run down memory lane.
(AN: Ok let me explain this next part. Vegeta's mom is not the same one as Talana's. It was one of the reasons that Vegeta didn't like Talana when he was alive. But after Freesia killed everyone and took Talana he felt a kind of honor to up hold and to save her from what he went through. Again all will be explained soon.)
"But do you know how your mother died?" Dodoria asked a small smirk pulling at his mouth. Vegeta just glared waiting for him to continue. "Freeza convinced your father to go on that ship to China. Knowing that he would be gone a very long time. And we all know what happened three days after he left. She was found attacked by wolves on the way home. It was Freeza, not some dogs; he just made it look that way so he would get custody of you." Dodoria was now happy he was going to make it out alive if the story he told Vegeta would hold his mind for a few seconds.
'Yes I remember that day.' Vegeta thought reliving something he very much hated.
*Flashback*
He had waited up all night for his mother to return. He couldn't stop worrying that he would never see her rich black hair coming over the hill to their home. Her warm smile greeting him telling him he was worrying for nothing. Her perfectly tanned hand taking his hand and leading him to bed where he should be at this late hour. But young Vegeta kept staring out the window waiting.
***
He didn't know how but he had fallen asleep while waiting. At first he wasn't sure what had woken him. Then he heard it again at loud knocking was coming from the front door.
"Mother!" The small Vegeta cried rushing for the door. It didn't hit him till he was turning the door handle that his mother wouldn't have knocked but by then it was to late. (AN: And remember vampires came change shape.) In the doorway stood two men.
One was dressed in priests robes complete with a collar. His blond was pulled back in an extremely long braid that was pulled over his shoulder. And he was tall, well at lest compared to Vegeta and his companion. The man next to him was very strange. He was very short with black hair, slicked back, and had dark lips and reddish brown eyes. But make no mistake the short one was the leader.
"Mr. Vegeta I presume?" It spoke in an almost feminine voice. Vegeta's smile faded into a glare, but he nodded. "We haven't met but we know of each other. I am Lord Freeza and this is my personal faith consultant, Zarbon." The blond man nodded his greeting; Vegeta ignored him. Freeza was his father's new business partner and he had heard some very untrusting things about him.
"I regret to inform you that your mother was found yesterday on the side of the rode attacked by wolves. I am here to tell you that you are to pack your things and come live with me. I have already taken care of her remains, so we can get on our way as soon as possible." Lord Freeza continued as thought he had not seen the exchange between the two.
Vegeta had stopped breathing; he had been right, his mother was never coming home. His father was gone and may not return for years and he was left with a man no one trusted or knew anything about. But he didn't show any emotion to these strange people he just nodded solemnly and left the door open to get his things.
He didn't care weather they came in or not use headed up the stairs to his room. Pulled a new saddlebag off his desk and started to pack. He put clothes inside not even looking at what they were, he grabbed a gold pendant on a thin chain with his family's seal engraved in it, and last of all a picture of his family. The black ink was freshly painted from last week. His father had insisted and so he slipped it in at he bottom for he couldn't bear to look at it.
On his way down the stairs he paused to put on his green riding cloak noticing that the door was closed and voices coming from the living room. He walked to the doorway caring his heavy pack with both hands.
"I am ready." Vegeta said speaking for the first time. Both of men turned to look at him, the smaller one smiling.
"Yes you are my young Elite." He said smiling wider. Vegeta eyebrows came together but did not ask what he meant. Vegeta followed them out to the front yard and found a shingle horse carriage waiting for them. Zarbon leap with amazing ease into the driver's seat while Lord Freeza stood aside waiting for Vegeta to open the door, Vegeta didn't move. Freesia glared at him.
"Mr. Vegeta open the door." He spoke. With out realizing what he was doing Vegeta had pulled the door open, to say the lest Vegeta was shocked. But instead of holding the door open young Vegeta slammed the door closed before Freeza had a chance to enter, also glaring. "Fine." Freeza breathed, with a flick of his eyes the door flew open and slammed next to Vegeta's face.
Vegeta stood in shock as Lord Freeza stepped passed him into the carriage. At the same time his bag flew out of his hands and into the dark opening.
"Vegeta come!" Freeza ordered form inside. This time Vegeta felt like he was being pulled inside even though he tried to fight it. When he finally sat down the pulling stopped and he lunged for the door only to have it slammed in his face. Finally he looked at his captor as gasped.
The man he had just met was gone, next to his bag was a demon! It had pink arms and legs with three toed feet. It had two black polished horns with matching lips. Its cold red eyes stared at Vegeta with a kind of smile on its face. It didn't take long for Vegeta to figure out that this thing was in fact Lord Freeza.
"If it means anything to you I was once human. But now I am the oldest vampire ever, almost 2 and a half million years old. I have quite amazing powers so I would try any thing while you are my charge. Oh and nothing will work on Zarbon either, he is the second oldest of my Elite's." The thing known as Freeza spoke.
"What do you want with me demon?" Vegeta spat not moving from his place on the floor still holding onto the door handle.
"It's vampire, Mr. Vegeta, get it right. I only change people that have an aura of power about them and you have it."
"You want to make me a de- vampire?!" Vegeta asked alarmed.
"Not for another 19 years so don't think much of it. But till that time I will train you to be a gentleman as my charge."
"I don't want to be your charge." Vegeta said defiantly standing up, which was hard for the carriage was now moving.
"You don't have a choice in the matter. And again I warn you, telling anyone what I am will only result in me killing everyone in the village and moving on with you. Don't worry we'll get along just fine."
*Flashback*
Vegeta hated him. He never missed a chance to make Freeza's life harder. And that Zarbon, using the bible to justify what Freeza was doing. Vegeta knew he didn't believe anything that was in the holy book. He was so old he went from religion to religion never believing a word they said. Zarbon would beat him though very time he said this, starting Vegeta's hate for priests and their torture.
When Vegeta was 13 his father returned home freeing Vegeta from Freeza after four years of living trapped in the household. For the first week he was thrown in the basement, but after a while Vegeta calmed down and was given a room with only one window but much more comfortable.
When his father returned Vegeta did not tell him of his partner's secret for he was promised that if he stayed quite his father would not be harmed, and Vegeta would be left alone. After his father heard of his wife's death Vegeta's father did two things, got a bodyguard for his son named Nappa and got a new blond wife. Vegeta felt as through what he had gone through meant nothing to his father, even the death of his first wife.
"Sorry if the shock was too great for you. But I'll take this time to return to my master." Dodoria said bringing Vegeta back to the present.
"Don't get me wrong Dodoria. I could care less about what Freeza has done. For a moment I was just angry that I let myself be used by you bastards." Vegeta said powering up. Dodoria now realizing his fate flew off for Zarbon.
"Zarbon help me!" The terrified man screamed racing for his friend, Zarbon didn't move. With one hand Vegeta let a ki bast pour from his hand whipping out Dodoria. "Now Zarbon it's your turn. Shall we begin the real fight?" Vegeta said turning to the shocked vampire with an evil sneer.
