I'm sorry if you didn't like the prologue, with Vegeta being abused an all, but I feel like that was an important chapter. I hope I don't hav to write more like that, cause writing your favourite character being abused and raped, isn't the best thing in the world. I promise that if any one else has to be beaten up it wont be veggie, but more like Chi-Chi, cause I just hate her! R&R!
The near past
Vegeta walked as fast as he could, without falling over, towards his space pod. Frieza watched every move he made. Once he got to it, the pods door automatically opened, and Vegeta fell in, landing on the controls. He shuffled his feet in, and sat slouched across the compartment. The door closed automatically, and vibrated the pod. Vegeta sat waiting for the computer to speak, but couldn't, as he finally lost consciousness. He slammed against the controls.
'Destination: Earth.
Time: 43 hours.'
The computer chimed, and by itself, shot from the station, and headed to Earth!
'Hmphh...owww, my head hurts so much . . . What's that? Is it Chi-Chi? What's she doing with that frying pan? Oh not again!' A white hot searing pain shot through his skull.
"Owww, that hurt Chi. Couldn't you wake me up any other way?" Chi-Chi stared down at him with slitted eyes, and plonked him on the head again.
"What have I done now?" Goku screamed out in agony, as she firmly held up the frying, shaking it angrily, at his sore head. Goku looked at it with worry. With the light shining of it, from the doorway, it made it deadly to look at. Goku looked around, and noticed it was still night, by the small specs still glowing in the night sky.
He became fixated at staring at them, until he heard the rustling of Chi-Chi place the pan to her side. He sensed that she calmed down slightly, and was ready to look at her now. As soon as he looked at her though, she screeched out an ear splitting nag.
"Goku. Didn't you hear that? For Kamis sake Goku . . . I'm telling you. You sleep through anything. It took me three blows to your thick skull for you to even realise I was even here. What sort of a husband are you. Goku. You should pay more attention to me. Goku. GOKU! Don't you think I deserve better..." She was cut of short, (Or long!) from her ranting, when Goku interrupted her, on going, annoying and repetitive speech.
"I'm sorry Chi." He looked down at the cover that was barely covering his waist. He moved to sit up, once the ringing in his ears had calmed down a bit! His back creaked from sleeping on the uncomfy chair, that not even the strongest man on Earth could handle. The strongest man on even control his wife, who forcefully made him sleep on the sofa.
"What didn't you hear?" Chi-Chi looked down at him sour faced, and pulled a face like, ' you know what I mean' kind of face! "You really should pay attention." She motioned with her hands for Goku to leave the house, as she continued.... "You don't except me to go see what that noise was do you. Honestly Goku. Use your head for once." She pushed him through the door, and watched as he walked out puzzled.
'How am I supposed to think when I've been pounded upon . . . Kami knows how many times. Okay. Think Goku. What did she say. She heard a noise. Great. She heard a noise, and sent me outside in the middle of the night, to search for a noise! Oh man. Where do I start?' Goku shivered as the cool night air brushed past his bare torso, and his draw-string pants rippled in the wind.
"It could be anything." He sighed and walked forwards and headed towards the densely packed forest. Seem as though he didn't know what to do, what better place to start, where in a forest you cant see anything. 'Yeah but at least there is no Chi-Chi, or frying pan!' Goku unthoughtfully remembered.
He looked around, and thought what Chi-Chi could of heard was a tree falling, or a dinosaur on the rampage. He let his rain of thoughts continue, until his sensitive sense of smell, could detect burning. In the dimly lit light of the moon, he saw whispers of smoke flow up into the sky, and he moved on forward towards the smoke.
He edged closer, walking past the trees, and what lay ahead of him, was a massive crater. He looked down at the unusual aspect, and he saw a small type of vehicle. Curiously, he jumped down to it, and slid all the way down. Once he got to the bottom, he circled the thing. It was white, and circle, and had caught on fire at the back. Goku stopped in front of it and looked through the opaque windows, and he could just about see a figure. In anticipation, he ripped the front off, and what he saw surprised him.
A naked man lay there, badly beaten. His back had many slashes on it, and below it... he had a tail! Goku tenderly picked the man up carefully, and held him close.
"NIMBUS!" Goku shouted for the flying omen. A couple of minutes later, his trusty flying nimbus came. Goku jumped on to it, and he commanded for it to take him to Bulma's.
"Hey Goku, long time no see." Bulma's mum said as she opened the door. She looked at Goku, and for once her forever closed eyes opened in shock. "Oh my. What has happened to the poor boy?"
"I'm not quite sure. I found him like this! Is Bulma here. I think she could help him." Goku said so quickly and urgently it surprised the woman. He shot write the house so quickly when she nodded.
Goku quickly walked to the back of Capsule Corporation, where he knew that Bulma would be. He came to the two steel doors of Bulma's lab, and shouted through them.
"Bulma open up. Its Goku." He waited patiently, as he still held the lifeless form of the man he just found.
"Goku, hi. What brought... Oh Kami. Goku bring him in here!" She said as she moved to the side to let him through. "Put him on that table Goku." She rushed up to him, once he placed the battered body, on the cold sterile table. She checked for his pulse, by pressing to fingers on his neck. "Goku, he's still breathing. But he looks in bad shape."
She looked at all his bruising, and noticed one in particular. She bent down over his body, and checked his stomach. "I'm surprised he's stayed alive this long! I will need to run a few tests on him. I think he has internal bleeding." Goku stood to the side, as Bulma did many tests, almost fainting most of the time, when she brought out needles and placed them in the small body.
Bulma walked over to Goku, and gently nudged him. His eyes shot up, and he looked at Bulma. "I have managed to stabilize him, for the moment. If he wakes up, it would be wise to give him a senzu bean. I will get someone to stay and check on him."
"Bulma its okay. I would like to stay." She smiled at him, and pulled a chair over for him and gave him the senzu beans.
"Get me Goku when he wakes then. Would you like me to phone Chi-chi?" Goku shook his head, and walked over to sit beside the man.
"I would like to enjoy some peace for a while." He said with a humph, as he sat down. He looked down at the man, and Bulma left him.
The man was now wearing loose string pull trousers, and his stomach had been bandaged up. Goku looked down at him and thought:
'He has a tail just like I did, before I had to have it permantly removed. He may know why I had one. I wonder what its like to have one still? I wonder what it feels like?' Goku looked at the lifeless, lump of fur, and reached down. He touched it lightly, scared like he had just done something terrible. He touched it again, and lightly stroked the end. "Wow, its really silky. When I had mine, it was always mes.."
A hand shot up, and grabbed his arm. Goku stared with wide eyes, at the man who just grabbed his arm.
"W…what are...you ...doing?" The man said with a deep accent. He closed his eyes, as he felt all his energy drain from him. And his arm fell lifeless to the bed. Goku listened to the man breathing deeply, for a while.
"I'm sorry, I was just curious. You must still be in pain. Here..." He got the bag out, with the many senzu beans in, and held it out in front of him. "If you swallow this, it will make you feel much better. Trust me." The small man, opened one eye, and opened his mouth up, to let the bean in. He swallowed, it, and he felt like he had just got out of a regen-tank. After the shock wore off, the smaller man sat up in the bed and looked at Goku curiously.
"Would you mind telling me, why you have a tail?" Goku asked suddenly, and out of the blue. Startling the man.
"I was born with it. Now, you tell me, why I'm here? And where is here?" The man with hair defining gravity spoke. And he looked around the room, completely puzzled.
"This is capsule corp in Japan. I can tell you don't come from here do you? Any way. I found you, and you where in pretty bad shape, and I brought you here. Tell me. What is your name." Goku asked questioningly.
"Pr... Vegeta. My name is Vegeta." The small man spoke.
"Hi. I'm Goku." He gave him the famous son grin, as he looked at Vegeta.
A few minutes later:
Goku sat at the edge of Vegeta's bed, asking continuous questions. Vegeta only grunted replies, not paying any attention to the tall annoying man.
"Wow, I wonder what it would be like to have a tail." Goku said, looking pensive. "You know, mine was cut off ages ago, I found it hard to walk and..."
"You used to have a tail? Tell me: where do you come from?" Vegeta finally acknowledged the man, eyeing him with thoughtful eyes. Goku blinked.
"What do you mean? I come from Earth. My Grampa found me, he brought me up since I was little. Well, until he was killed by a gigantic ape, anyway."
"Don't you remember...?" Vegeta asked.
"What?" Goku asked, not understanding.
"Ugh. You don't come from Earth. You are a Saiyan. And quite obviously, now that I think about it..." Goku looked confused.
"A say....yan?"
"Yes. Every Saiyan is born with a tail, and has the ability to transform into an Oozaroo..." Goku blinked, now even more confused.
"Oo...saru?"
"A gigantic ape. You transform in full-moonlight. A Saiyan has fighting in their blood," Vegeta said, getting quite angry. "There is hardly any of us left. We are a dying race, since our planet was destroyed. Aside from myself, only two others remain."
"So you're telling me I'm a Saiyan that came from another planet and I can turn into a giant ape during the full moon. What, did we all pick the fleas off of each other?" Goku said, almost bursting into fits off laughter, until the small man slitted his eyes.
"I can't believe you! Don't you have any respect for your own kind? Your a disgrace to the Saiyan name!"
"I'm sorry, I cant help it. The whole idea of it is just hilarious!" Goku paused. He looked Vegeta in the eye, his own widening. "You're serious, aren't you?" Vegeta nodded. Goku looked at the ceiling in contemplation. "Well, that would explain a lot of things. Chi-Chi thinks I'm weird for always going off and fighting. But when I don't, I feel like I have been dead for ages, and when I fight, I feel a whole burst of life flow into me."
"What a pansy way to put it. I bet you're not even that strong," Vegeta taunted the man.
"I am actually the world's strongest man... I won the tournament!" Goku said, proud of himself, whilst showing off his muscles.
"Care to prove it?" Vegeta snarled up at him. Goku looked interested.
"How?"
"Fight me, you dumbass." Vegeta said, outraged at his stupidity. He stood up, and following his lead, Goku did as well. A red-faced woman suddenly burst into the room.
"Goku, leave the poor bloke alone! Don't you dare think you can fight him! Look how much smaller he is compared to you!" Chi-Chi screeched at Goku.
"Chi-Chi, what are you doing here?" Goku said, cowering away from the woman standing in front of him.
"You left, and never had the decency to tell me where you went! I not only married a fool, but I married a rude fool!" She faced Vegeta. "I'm sorry if he bugged you. Come on Goku, we're going home." She turned and left, leaving Vegeta to his thoughts as he watched the tall saiyan follow behind the dreadful woman!
