Chapter 20
The End
"Vegeta!" Bulma whispered in awe.
Vegeta acknowledged her with a slight nod of his head without removing his gaze from the vampires in the doorway. Bulma stalked towards him fury brimming in his eyes her whole body shaking with repressed feelings of anger, hatred and the most terrifying emotion of all the scorned love of a woman. She slid her fingers under Vegeta's collar twisting the material around her fist pulling his eyes to hers. " You god damn mother fucking son of a bitch. How dare you think you have the right to come waltzing back in here and-
"Go upstairs woman." Vegeta said calmly returning his eyes to Frieza and Zarborn.
"Fine." She said releasing his collar and taking a step backwards. " But we will continue this later. But for now I am going to go take care of my children. She spun around and started walking towards the stairs.
"I thought they were Yamchops children to?" He stated calmly. She froze and without turning around said coldly.
"He has to actually stay around in order or the children to be his." She then finished her walk up the stars and turned into a room disappearing from sight.
"She's a very amusing woman." Frieza stated.
"Yes I also find her amusing." He said calmly a smirk highlighting his features. He then lifted one finger and shot a thin blue beam at Zarborn's heart that instantly disintegrated the monsters heart. "I find that amusing too." he said smirking even more broadly at Frieza.
"You do know that when I'm done with you I'll be back for her." Freeza said brimming with fury. His gaze focused on Vegeta not even looking towards his fallen fledgling.
"And you know when I'm done with you you'll be dead." With these words both Vegeta's and Freeza's smile vanished.
"Why don't you invite me in and we can finish this?" Freesia said stepping closer to the barrier.
"If you don't mind I think a change of scenery is in order." Vegeta stated stepping away from the doorway. Suddenly Vegeta shot backwards out the kitchen door. He kept his eyes on the front of the house. With in seconds a purple streak flashed across the sky straight towards Vegeta. He smiled setting out for the deserts south of the city.
He rolled in mid air enjoying the new burst of speed. He glanced behind him to see Freesia fighting to keep up. A passing grin took over his face, Vegeta wasn't even trying. After about 3 minutes of flying Vegeta suddenly dived for the ground landing softly on his feet. Freesia landed about 20 yards away from him looking more put out then before.
"I never thought I would see the day when the undead pass so easily from the world." Freesia said looking slightly bored at the turn of events.
"Do you also believe that it was the weakness of the opponent and not the strength of fighter? Zarborn thought the same thing, sad with his resent passing¦" Vegeta trailed off gazing at Freesia with an off hand look.
"Have you forgotten just who you are talking to?" Freesia said stepping a step closer.
"I haven't forgotten a thing Freeza, quite the contrary. I remember you and everything you've ever done. And I know that you are terrified of the legacy my mother left behind her."
"And what legacy would that be?" Freeza growled crossing his arms over his chest.
"The legacy of the Super Saiyajin. You tried prevent your own death by killing all the Saiyajin's but you've just been fooling yourself. You see Freeza you missed two of us. In a freak mistake I was turned back into my Saiyajin form and Kakarrot was sent away from the planet and sent here.'' Vegeta said
"I thought you smelled mortal. But I do wonder what makes you think that a pitiful Saiyajin could ever defeat me?" Freeza asked with a sneer.
"I'll show you." Vegeta snarled dropping in to a relaxed fighting stance. Freeza rolled his eyes on bothering to move into one himself. Vegeta grinned. "Let's play."
With a flash of blinding blue light Vegeta rush forward on e gloved fist raised. Freeza almost laughed at the power rating on his scouter. Without removing his arms from their crossed position Freeza moved to the side faster than the human eye could see. Vegeta continued passed him and at the last second whipping his leg around sending Freeza spinning into the dirt.
"What the fuc-" Freeza yelled staring in shock at the ground.
"Come on Freeza, at lest try to defend yourself." Vegeta said brushing a bit of dust off his sleeve.
Freeza roared in anger letting his ki flare out around him in a glare of purple light. He shot away from the ground flying at Vegeta with both fists ready. His first fist was aimed at Vegeta's face. He effortlessly blocked with his left. But instead of letting the hand fall away Vegeta held onto his hand using his right to backhand Freeza across the face. Vegeta leaped into the air spinning Freeza's arm around making his knees buckle under the pain. As he landed on the other side of Freeza's arm he slammed his knee into Freeza's face.
The force of the blow sent Freeza flipping back into the air. In the last moment Freeza righted himself landing on his feet breathing hard.
"So you weren't entirely lying." Freeza spat standing to his full height of four feet. Vegeta looked at Freeza closely.
"You know for the terror of the universe you're not very tall?" Vegeta said crossing his arms as he stared at the miniature vampire.
"I can fix that." Freeza said.
"Oh yes your transformation. I know all about that. Could you just skip the dramatics and get right to it? I think maybe then I would have a challenge." Vegeta said a bit sarcastically.
(AN: Freeza is only going to have one transformation. He is not an alien but a vampire in this story so he should only have one like Zarbon. The first vampires have their functioning normal looking form, then their powerful inhuman looking from. Got it? Good, now read.)
Freeza glared at Vegeta but said nothing. Instead his armor shattered by the force of his ki. His muscles started to shift and mutate as his power level soared upward. A cloud of dust rose up in the air hiding Frieza from Vegeta's calculating view. When the dust began to settle Vegeta burst out laughing.
" This." He gasped. "Is the famous final form? Lucifer's balls, you grew a foot taller and lost your scales! Oh and your power level jumped a bit. Big fucking deal. Piss Talana off and you get the same reaction- except for the going losing scales part. I mean really Frieza, do you truly think you can beat me in that ridiculous costume. Come now Frieza, you know me better than that." Vegeta said with a confidant smirk.
"You really think you can beat me?" Frieza sneered.
"I'm sure of it." Vegeta returned confidently.
"Well then lets just see." Frieza said
"Yes, why don't we". With that they both rose up into the air and the real battle began.
Vegeta cut to the left shooting across the ground at Frieza, right, left, right, left till he became a series of after images charging toward one point. Then one of images off to the left raised his fist slamming it into Frieze's face. That same hand whipped around the back of Frieze's head forcefully snapping it into Vegeta's knee. His other leg spun around smacking into the side of Frieze's face sending him flying in to a mountainside.
Vegeta stood perfectly relaxed watching the pile of ruble. Thousands of pounds of rock flew from the hill as if some small atomic explosion had occurred. Vegeta didn't even flinch. He looked calmly onto the unscratched Frieza who stood on a pedestal of preserved dirt at the center of the crater he had caused. Before Frieza could try something Vegeta through himself to the side letting loose a powerful yellow ki blast. But before it had left his hand Frieza vanished reappearing inches from his face. The heel of Frieze's hand snapping Vegeta's head backward. Almost at the same time Frieze's foot slammed into Vegeta's stomach crumpling his body around Frieze's leg and sending him flying into the air.
Vegeta rolled in mid air bouncing of the ground with one hand landing on his feet. The world seemed to still as Frieza and Vegeta stared at each other across the space separating them. Both seemed to be mentally measuring their opponent waiting to find that key weakness in their fighting style. Ancient knowledge of their perfected art emanated from each man as surely as their auras whipped around them in dazzling displays of power.
"So you weren't entirely lying." Freeza remarked.
"Stop playing with me Freeza. If you could hit me even once you could have defended any blow I gave you." Vegeta spat through gritted teeth.
"True." Freeza stated coldly.
"That ends here!" Vegeta thundered shooting across the space separating them 5 times faster than before his fist raised. As he reached Freeza Vegeta sidestepped to the left and round housed him to the neck. The whole world seemed to slow as Vegeta watched Freeza effortlessly take the blow and counter attack. The blow hit him squarely in his solar plexus but Vegeta didn't give in. The blows were coming almost faster than Vegeta could see. Each block was either too slow to stop the hit or just barely able to lessen the hits. Vegeta danced through the air trying time and time again to fight back but the pain was becoming even more than he was use to taking.
He was slowing and that would be his undoing. While the undead seemed to never tier Saiyajin's had their limits. He knew it had only been about 25 minutes of fight at this full paced rate but each move, blow, failed hit made it a thousand years longer. He was amounting a collection of serious injuries that were stating to take their toll. A weak shot at his ankle had smashed into a limp mess forcing him to float above the ground and using it was out of the question. A blow to his arm made it hard to move but he was still pushing it through the pain. A blow to his chest had made many of his ribs had shattered, and he was sure one had punctured his lung fore he was having trouble breathing and was spitting up blood.
The decided blow came next and in his weakened state Vegeta could only watch as Freeza spun whipping his tail around and sent his flying. His back slammed in to the rock face and he fell defenseless to his knees. He coughed violently spurting up more blood as he stared stunned at the ground. Freeza landed a few yards off watching with satisfaction as Vegeta tried to breathe.
"I understood from Mr. Zarborn that you know our full history currently?" HE said lightly waking towards him carelessly. Vegeta nodded not looking up from the ground. "A shame that Akasha's prophecy didn't come true. You were probably the only one that could have defeated me. With you dead now that means there stands no one that can beat me. I am truly immortal."
"Your wrong." Freeza had been lying so loud he almost missed Vegeta's remark.
"What did you say?" Freeza snapped. He hadn't thought Vegeta capable of speaking.
"Your wrong Freeza. While over the years I could amount an incredible amount of power my dead body could never really use all of it. So it became part of my very life force, my very being. And thanks to a misguided wish I have been give a body not just alive but able to use such power. I didn't want it to come to this fore I don't have the skill or strength to handle this power yet. But you haven't left me much choice now have you Freeza?" Vegeta taunted from his kneeling position.
"Our bluffing." Freeza snapped. But he had stopped walking and a hint of uncertainty had entered his eyes.
"No Freeza I'm not." His said slowly rising from the ground freezing Freeza where he stood. His eyes that had once been bottomless black pools had been light with a glowing teal more murderous and dangerous and inhuman than any thing Freeza had ever seen in his 3 million years of life. The every hair on his head flicked to life, ebony locks glowed a bright yellow pulsating with energy. His whole body burned with power, his entire being a massive conqueror of time and space. Pure terror filled Freeza as he looked on.
"No." Freeza whispered stuck to the place he stood.
"This ends here Freeza!" Vegeta roared. Both hands rose from his sides coming together in front of him. His palms stretched out gathering huge amounts of energy to them. Every ounce of energy focused into a single swarming ball.
"FINAL FLASH!!!!!!!!" Vegeta screamed letting loose the terrible blast. An explosion rolled from his out stretched hand swelling to the size of a huge title wave. Freeza last horrible cry of pain and terror could only barely be heard over the rushing of the energy. And when the dust had settled there was nothing left but ash. Vegeta grinned.
"So what they say is true, Blondes do have more fun." He laughed bending over and slapping his knee in his glee.
"HUH!" He gasped falling instantly out of his Super Saiyajin doubling over in pain. Blood poured from his lips as he tried to breathe again. He pulled the precious gasps in through his nose trying to clear his lung of the red liquid.
"Damn it!" He cursed trying to stand again. All the injuries he had sustained earlier had come rushing back 40 time worse than before. He had no more life to keep living and it was only a matter of time before his wounds would kill him. He had known that is would happen but he had been hoping he would have a bit more juice to teleport, but he had nothing. Biting his inner lip he pushed off the ground and tried to fly.
Luckily he made it and started in the direction of West City, he had to see Bulma one more time. The pain was unbearable but he kept on his path even as his energy continued to drain. He had to make it if only to tell her that he cared. It was amazing to him that he could possibly have any offspring. He had lived and dyed for his family but he had never thought his line could continue, and how they were meant to as well. He had to see them, his children, Bulma's children; he had to make it to the city.
It was then that to yellow spots appeared ahead of him. The spots flew across the sky at amazing speeds even before they reach him Vegeta knew who they were. Both Trunks and Bra floated before him both with spiked blond hair.
"Father!" Trunks cried shocked at his appearance. Bra floated beside him her mouth hanging open in disbelief.
"Don't worry brat it's much worse than it looks." Vegeta said flying past him and the stunned Bra.
"What happened? Did Freeza come early?" Bra asked following behind him.
"No, he gave us the wrong time so he could fight him alone." Trunks stated also following his bloody father. Vegeta looked at him over his shoulder.
"You know, you're pretty smart for a blonde." Vegeta said with a grin. Trunks stared at him spellbound. "What? Didn't know I had a sense of humor did you? I suppose I'm always so busy keeping up appearances that it doesn't show very often." He started to laugh but stopped as his laughter turned to a painful fit of coughing.
"You're dying aren't you?" Bra whispered. Vegeta calmly looked at her.
"You know you do look just like your mother. And I'm sure you're just as good a person as she is. I hope you stay to meet her. She's a bit bossy but it's worth it." He snapped his head in the other direction as something stooped under his arm; it was Trunks.
"We're getting you home whether you like it or not." Trunks said staring straight ahead. Bra dipped under his other arm so that the both of them held him up. Vegeta collapsed against them with out another word. He wasn't sure if he passed-out then or if the pair just moved very quickly but before he could blink he was on the front steps of Capsule Corporation Compound.
Vegeta pushed them away forcing himself to stand on his own feet. They stepped back but not too far down the steps just in case. He reached out and knocked. From the other side he heard hurried footsteps rushing for the door.
"Vegeta!" Bulma cried when she pulled open the door. He fell to his knees unable to stand. Bulma fell with him catching hold of his arms. "Vegeta what happened?" She cried looking him over from head to toe.
"They can tell you later. That's not why I'm here." He said vaguely waving in Trunks and Bra's direction. "I came to tell you-" he paused thinking.
"Tell me what?" Bulma asked tears escaping her blue eyes.
"I love you." Vegeta said smiling. "I have since I first met you. I just never could admit it to myself. I the night before I left I loved you with all that I had. I left because I needed to get stronger; I had to protect you. I wanted so much to be with you and our children but I had to stop Freeza first. And I did! I did it Bulma! You and our children will be safe now and that's all I wanted to do. Not bad for my last act huh?"
"You stupid bastard." Bulma whispered shaking her head through the tears. Vegeta grinned painfully at up at her.
"I had to do it. I had to be the one to kill him. My mother knew it and I knew it in my own way. I could never die until I killed him. A final gift to the world for all that I had taken. You understand don't you?" Bulma nodded for she was past talking.
"Hey brat." Vegeta called over his shoulder. Trunks stepped closer.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Get your aunt and uncle here. They really wouldn't want to miss this." Trunks nodded disappearing from sight. In second he had returned with Talana and Tobias. Both froze their gazes taking in the morbid scene before them. Talana dropped to her knees near Bulma and Vegeta . She stared into Vegeta's eyes tears forming in her own as an understanding passed between them that only siblings as close as them would understand. She leaned over and gently placed a kiss upon his forehead leaving a smear of blood red lip stick. She smiled at him and calmly whispered
"Tell the 'rents hi for me but don't get to comfortable because someday I'll follow you up there and when I do there will be hell to pay." Vegeta coughed and blood sprayed onto himself and his surroundings before saying with a weak smirk.
" I would expect no less from MY baby sister." Then he turned serious. "Take care of them."
"With my life." she responded.
His eyes shifted to Tobias ,a smirk once again highlighting his features, who said
"I'll let them die when I get a sex change." Vegeta smirk widened and responded by saying
"Good to know Grandma." He turned serious once more and looking for the last time to Bulma he whispered
"Only you now and forever." before his eyes turned glassy and his grip on her arm dropped.
He was gone.

The End
"Vegeta!" Bulma whispered in awe.
Vegeta acknowledged her with a slight nod of his head without removing his gaze from the vampires in the doorway. Bulma stalked towards him fury brimming in his eyes her whole body shaking with repressed feelings of anger, hatred and the most terrifying emotion of all the scorned love of a woman. She slid her fingers under Vegeta's collar twisting the material around her fist pulling his eyes to hers. " You god damn mother fucking son of a bitch. How dare you think you have the right to come waltzing back in here and-
"Go upstairs woman." Vegeta said calmly returning his eyes to Frieza and Zarborn.
"Fine." She said releasing his collar and taking a step backwards. " But we will continue this later. But for now I am going to go take care of my children. She spun around and started walking towards the stairs.
"I thought they were Yamchops children to?" He stated calmly. She froze and without turning around said coldly.
"He has to actually stay around in order or the children to be his." She then finished her walk up the stars and turned into a room disappearing from sight.
"She's a very amusing woman." Frieza stated.
"Yes I also find her amusing." He said calmly a smirk highlighting his features. He then lifted one finger and shot a thin blue beam at Zarborn's heart that instantly disintegrated the monsters heart. "I find that amusing too." he said smirking even more broadly at Frieza.
"You do know that when I'm done with you I'll be back for her." Freeza said brimming with fury. His gaze focused on Vegeta not even looking towards his fallen fledgling.
"And you know when I'm done with you you'll be dead." With these words both Vegeta's and Freeza's smile vanished.
"Why don't you invite me in and we can finish this?" Freesia said stepping closer to the barrier.
"If you don't mind I think a change of scenery is in order." Vegeta stated stepping away from the doorway. Suddenly Vegeta shot backwards out the kitchen door. He kept his eyes on the front of the house. With in seconds a purple streak flashed across the sky straight towards Vegeta. He smiled setting out for the deserts south of the city.
He rolled in mid air enjoying the new burst of speed. He glanced behind him to see Freesia fighting to keep up. A passing grin took over his face, Vegeta wasn't even trying. After about 3 minutes of flying Vegeta suddenly dived for the ground landing softly on his feet. Freesia landed about 20 yards away from him looking more put out then before.

"Have you forgotten just who you are talking to?" Freesia said stepping a step closer.
"I haven't forgotten a thing Freeza, quite the contrary. I remember you and everything you've ever done. And I know that you are terrified of the legacy my mother left behind her."
"And what legacy would that be?" Freeza growled crossing his arms over his chest.
"The legacy of the Super Saiyajin. You tried prevent your own death by killing all the Saiyajin's but you've just been fooling yourself. You see Freeza you missed two of us.

With a flash of blinding blue light Vegeta rush forward on e gloved fist raised. Freeza almost laughed at the power rating on his scouter. Without removing his arms from their crossed position Freeza moved to the side faster than the human eye could see. Vegeta continued passed him and at the last second whipping his leg around sending Freeza spinning into the dirt.
"What the fuc-" Freeza yelled staring in shock at the ground.
"Come on Freeza, at lest try to defend yourself." Vegeta said brushing a bit of dust off his sleeve.

"So you weren't entirely lying." Freeza spat standing to his full height of four feet. Vegeta looked at Freeza closely.
"You know for the terror of the universe you're not very tall?" Vegeta said crossing his arms as he stared at the miniature vampire.
"I can fix that." Freeza said.
"Oh yes your transformation. I know all about that. Could you just skip the dramatics and get right to it? I think maybe then I would have a challenge." Vegeta said a bit sarcastically.
(AN: Freeza is only going to have one transformation. He is not an alien but a vampire in this story so he should only have one like Zarbon. The first vampires have their functioning normal looking form, then their powerful inhuman looking from. Got it? Good, now read.)
Freeza glared at Vegeta but said nothing. Instead his armor shattered by the force of his ki. His muscles started to shift and mutate as his power level soared upward. A cloud of dust rose up in the air hiding Frieza from Vegeta's calculating view. When the dust began to settle Vegeta burst out laughing.
" This." He gasped. "Is the famous final form? Lucifer's balls, you grew a foot taller and lost your scales! Oh and your power level jumped a bit. Big fucking deal. Piss Talana off and you get the same reaction- except for the going losing scales part. I mean really Frieza, do you truly think you can beat me in that ridiculous costume. Come now Frieza, you know me better than that." Vegeta said with a confidant smirk.
"You really think you can beat me?" Frieza sneered.

His other leg spun around smacking into the side of Frieze's face sending him flying in to a mountainside.
Vegeta stood perfectly relaxed watching the pile of ruble. Thousands of pounds of rock flew from the hill as if some small atomic explosion had occurred. Vegeta didn't even flinch. He looked calmly onto the unscratched Frieza who stood on a pedestal of preserved dirt at the center of the crater he had caused. Before Frieza could try something Vegeta through himself to the side letting loose a powerful yellow ki blast. But before it had left his hand Frieza vanished reappearing inches from his face. The heel of Frieze's hand snapping Vegeta's head backward. Almost at the same time Frieze's foot slammed into Vegeta's stomach crumpling his body around Frieze's leg and sending him flying into the air.
Vegeta rolled in mid air bouncing of the ground with one hand landing on his feet. The world seemed to still as Frieza and Vegeta stared at each other across the space separating them. Both seemed to be mentally measuring their opponent waiting to find that key weakness in their fighting style. Ancient knowledge of their perfected art emanated from each man as surely as their auras whipped around them in dazzling displays of power.
"So you weren't entirely lying." Freeza remarked.

Pure terror filled Freeza as he looked on.
"No." Freeza whispered stuck to the place he stood.
"This ends here Freeza!" Vegeta roared. Both hands rose from his sides coming together in front of him. His palms stretched out gathering huge amounts of energy to them. Every ounce of energy focused into a single swarming ball.
"FINAL FLASH!!!!!!!!" Vegeta screamed letting loose the terrible blast. An explosion rolled from his out stretched hand swelling to the size of a huge title wave. Freeza last horrible cry of pain and terror could only barely be heard over the rushing of the energy. And when the dust had settled there was nothing left but ash. Vegeta grinned.
"So what they say is true, Blondes do have more fun." He laughed bending over and slapping his knee in his glee.
"HUH!" He gasped falling instantly out of his Super Saiyajin doubling over in pain. Blood poured from his lips as he tried to breathe again. He pulled the precious gasps in through his nose trying to clear his lung of the red liquid.
"Damn it!" He cursed trying to stand again. All the injuries he had sustained earlier had come rushing back 40 time worse than before. He had no more life to keep living and it was only a matter of time before his wounds would kill him.

"Vegeta!" Bulma cried when she pulled open the door. He fell to his knees unable to stand. Bulma fell with him catching hold of his arms. "Vegeta what happened?" She cried looking him over from head to toe.
"They can tell you later. That's not why I'm here." He said vaguely waving in Trunks and Bra's direction. "I came to tell you-" he paused thinking.
"Tell me what?" Bulma asked tears escaping her blue eyes.
"I love you." Vegeta said smiling. "I have since I first met you. I just never could admit it to myself. I the night before I left I loved you with all that I had. I left because I needed to get stronger; I had to protect you. I wanted so much to be with you and our children but I had to stop Freeza first. And I did! I did it Bulma! You and our children will be safe now and that's all I wanted to do. Not bad for my last act huh?"
"You stupid bastard." Bulma whispered shaking her head through the tears. Vegeta grinned painfully at up at her.
"I had to do it. I had to be the one to kill him. My mother knew it and I knew it in my own way. I could never die until I killed him. A final gift to the world for all that I had taken. You understand don't you?" Bulma nodded for she was past talking.
"Hey brat." Vegeta called over his shoulder. Trunks stepped closer.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Get your aunt and uncle here. They really wouldn't want to miss this." Trunks nodded disappearing from sight. In second he had returned with Talana and Tobias. Both froze their gazes taking in the morbid scene before them. Talana dropped to her knees near Bulma and Vegeta . She stared into Vegeta's eyes tears forming in her own as an understanding passed between them that only siblings as close as them would understand. She leaned over and gently placed a kiss upon his forehead leaving a smear of blood red lip stick. She smiled at him and calmly whispered
"Tell the 'rents hi for me but don't get to comfortable because someday I'll follow you up there and when I do there will be hell to pay." Vegeta coughed and blood sprayed onto himself and his surroundings before saying with a weak smirk.
" I would expect no less from MY baby sister." Then he turned serious. "Take care of them."
"With my life." she responded.
His eyes shifted to Tobias ,a smirk once again highlighting his features, who said
"I'll let them die when I get a sex change." Vegeta smirk widened and responded by saying
"Good to know Grandma." He turned serious once more and looking for the last time to Bulma he whispered
"Only you now and forever." before his eyes turned glassy and his grip on her arm dropped.
He was gone.
