"Ah!" Vegeta Jr woke up in his bed, sweating like a pig. "I... I felt incredible ki," the saiyan muttered under his gasping. He took a minute to look around, see if anything had changed.

Vegeta lived in an apartment in Ginger City where a lot had been destroyed since years ago. Now it was a corrupt city, full of violence and thugs.

"Nothing's wrong, that's so unusual. It's as if it was never there, but if it wasn't, why is my chest still burning from it?" Vegeta stood up with a groan and headed for the public washroom downstairs. He left his apartment a mess, clothes were everywhere. His sink was completed with bowls and dishes left unattended. The only clean part of his entire house was the window, where he enjoyed sitting near and just watching the events of life.

Vegeta swept a hand through his thick black hair and stretched his muscles. He yawned as he strolled his way down the stairs.

"Good morning!" A blonde girl stood at the counter beside the washrooms.

"'morning Tsumi..." Vegeta grunted as he passed her.

Tsumi worked at the apartment and managed the reservations and customers, she new Vegeta as a local resident. She was also a friend who bailed Vegeta out of money problems and situations, which Vegeta would usually repay with a night out to dinner. She had gold and silky hair strolling down her back, her eyes were a light shade of blue and could always see through people's emotions. Today she wore her maiden uniform.

Vegeta quickly brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth before nature called. He left the washroom receiving another smile from Tsumi before reaching his room.

"She certainly seems upright today," Vegeta sighed as he slipped on a white shirt and black pants. He took a brown leather jacket and hung it around his shoulder. Without a word the saiyan made his way back to the front desk and and cooly slid a tip under Tsumi's hands. He'd do that every end of the week, which didn't impress Tsumi since she'd gotten a larger amount of money from lots of men. But it was only Vegeta who gave her a tip for the fine work she did, not because he thought she was some sort of slut.

Then a moment of slipping on his jacket and out the door he went to attend his own business.

Tsumi giggled, "He only gave me a buck 50."

Vegeta spent his whole morning drinking coffee at his daily café and watching it's public TV.

"Rick, change the damn channel..." Vegeta demanded as his eyes almost dried out from watching some dumb show about how to fish.

Rick, the bartender grabbed the remote and hurled it over to Vegeta.

Vegeta snatched it right out of the air and began flipping channels. He kept going until he hit the channel 6 news. The first thing he saw was the face of grandma Pan, crying her heart out.

'In other news, a local living in the mountains was found unconcious in the forests near grandma Pan's lake. The victim was found with a wound jammed into his left arm. The attack was performed at night at about 9-11 pm. The victim, who was about only 18 years of age turns out to be grandma Pan's grandson, Goku Jr."

Vegeta widened his eyes, "Goku!" he hissed. He dropped the remote onto the floor and leapt off his chair. Leaving his payment for the coffee on his table, he left the café and headed for the city's entrance.

It began raining a light drizzle, the drops pasting the ground in water. Suddenly, as Vegeta passed through an alley, a bunch of thugs crossed paths with him.

"Hey dawg, you're not passin' through our territory!" one of them said. The whole lot had their own choice of weapons, let it be chains, knives or guns.

Vegeta just ignored them and turned to take another route.

"Hey man!" The lead thug shot a bullet at Vegeta's feet.

"Not so fast!" All of them began to chuckle. "You're very unlucky that we feel like beating someone up today, right guys?" They all nodded. Then the leader withdrew his gun and smirked. "We ain't letting you out."

Vegeta was about to walk away, more of the gang dropped by in front of him, each of them with their own unique grin.

Vegeta stood there with his eyes faced down. The whole bunch pinned him to a wall with no difficulty, then most of the took out their knives and pointed the blades at Vegeta's chest.

"Get 'im boys."

Then with a sudden flare of ki, Vegeta socked a punch right at the main thug's guts.

Taking the strike into his stomach, the leader was pushed backwards making an almost 1 foot deep crater into an alley wall.

Vegeta smirked and stared at the other thugs, who were now shivering in their boots. He shook off the paste of rain on his hair, "you were right. I'm very unlucky that you wanted to beat someone up today," Vegeta shifted into his battle stance as if necessary. "But you were unlucky that someone was me!"

Then the whole gang attempted to run away, but Vegeta's lightning speed caught them all in a death trap. First thug Vegeta tripped him onto another thug, snatched him by the collar and hurled him over the building. One of the thugs tried and defended himself, but the young saiyan kicked him up 50 miles away. The rest got away.

Vegeta grinned, "I love this city..." suddenly a strike of pain pierced his skin. He was weighed down as if gravity reached over his limits. He fell onto his knees, the rain stained his back completely. Water was dripping from his nose. The day was cold as winter, yet he was burning up. "GAH!" Then with one final strike of pain, he was relieved of the heat and fell down to his back.

"What the hell was that...?" he muttered after a moment of breathing and gasping. Vegeta looked to the direction from where the aura came, it was the direction of the café he'd been to earlier. The saiyan stood up and felt his blood boil as he hurried to the café.

When he had arrived, all he saw was piles and piles of rubble. Underneath a broken table was at least one survivor. "Rick!" Vegeta called.

The bartender crawled out from under the table, "Vegeta! It was horrible, some sort o-of monster j-just came from no where and-!" Rick was hesitating and shivering as if his blood was cold as ice.

Vegeta grabbed his friend by the arms and stared at him sternly yet calmly, "Rick, tell me where he went." He demanded.

Rick couldn't say anymore but simply pointed to the direction of the apartment.

Vegeta widened his eyes, "Tsumi!"

Tsumi screamed as the monster entered the apartment. The people who were there with her just ran out the door screaming, no one bothered about her. Tsumi was paralyzed in her place, eyes shrouded in fear.

The monster turned out to be exactly the same one that attacked Goku. It lifted it's blade like tail and..

"TSUMI!" Vegeta had just rushed in breathing like crazy.

"Vegeta!" Tsumi cried, she wanted to run and hug him, but the creature was right in front of her.

"Get away from her you bastard!" Vegeta cursed. He charged with a simple balled up fist. He punched the monster in the back, but it was like punching a brick wall. Vegeta staggered back holding his bleeding fist. "God, what the hell is this thing?!"

The creature, now annoyed by Vegeta turned around and began charging for an assault.

Vegeta quickly moved out of the way with his famous speed and swiftly snatched Tsumi in his arms.

The monster's head was caught in the depths of a wall and was struggling to pull out.

"Did it hurt you!?" Vegeta hissed as they dashed out to daylight.

"No, you came just in the nick of time!" Tsumi smiled with relief and glomped Vegeta Jr but the neck.

Vegeta blushed a bit and glared back at the building where the monster still remained. "Tsumi, go and head for home, grab your car and go to Silver city, it's a small city, you'll be safe there," Vegeta said as he let go of the damsel.

"Are you going to come?" the blonde asked.

"No, I'm heading for the mountains, I need to help a friend," Vegeta replied. He'd have to leave the monster here, people in Ginger city knew how to take care of themselves, and Vegeta had no remorse for those who didn't.

"Then I'll come with you!" Tsumi insisted.

"No it's even more dangerous there than it is here!" Vegeta lied. The forest was actually filled with peaceful and kind animals that roamed around. He and Goku used to frolic with them when he visited. He fibbed so that Tsumi didn't come, he didn't want any disturbances.

Tsumi's expression didn't seem like she believed him.

"Just go, I'll come to Silver city after I'm done visiting my friend," Vegeta assured with a smile.

"No! You can't tell me what to do!" Tsumi hissed.

Suddenly a roar of terror shook the buildings of Ginger city. The monster came crashing out of a wall and glared at Vegeta and Tsumi.

Vegeta didn't spare a single moment, he looked back at Tsumi before approaching the monster. His eyes were filled with passion before he shut them tight and moved in close enough to Tsumi that they could feel eachother's breaths.

Tsumi hesitated, but welcomly aloud him to kiss her.

Vegeta broke the kiss before Tsumi could realize what had happened, "I said go now!" he demanded before the monster came charging at him.

As much as Tsumi didn't want to leave, she was afraid of the monster and her feet just moved by themselves.

After the satisfication of independence, Vegeta finally returned the monster's glare and prepared for a fight. "Time to rid of this bastard!" Vegeta unleashed amounts of ki at the bottom of his feet and dashed towards the creature.

The saiyan made a clash of fists with the monster and was knocked back nearly 5 miles away. He staggered to his feet. "Why the hell is this monster so strong?!" Vegeta JR hissed. "I'll have to go SS." He hesitated a moment, he hadn't had to go SS form since his childhood while play fighting with Goku.

Suddenly the monster appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

Vegeta spotted the monster and narrowed his eyes. He took in a deep breath and, "RAHHhHHHhhhhH!!" A bluish aura burst from every inch on Vegeta's body. Gradually the aura became a bright golden colour, matching the colour of his already gold hair. His eyes shined a teal colour. Vegeta held out a palm, a sphere of Ki formed in the middle. Showing off his immense increase of strength and speed, he phased into air and appeared behind the monster. "Big BANG!" Vegeta released the final amount of gathered Ki and blasted the monster with full power.

Vegeta calmed down back to his original state, his strength really did decrease from when he was a child, but still strong enough to defeat this monster.

But the young saiyan thought wrong, the monster stood tall where he was after the smoke cleared. Not a scratch remained on him.

"WHAT?!" Vegeta shrieked.

The monster made a shape with his mouth, it was obvious to Vegeta it was a smirk. Then, with a final whip of the monster's tail, Vegeta fell unconcious back to the ground.

Hours later, Tsumi had come back, deciding not to go since the sounds of terror had faded. She found Vegeta in an alley, a crater circling his cold body. The rain had stopped, and the monster had dissapeared.
