Morning. The Saiyan Prince awoke. Straining in thought nothing seeming clear. Something was definitly wrong. Something in the air, it smelled of fear and helplessness. Vegeta made his way to the boys room. What he found made his body shake. Gohan was not there. ''Boy!!?.......Go, Gohan?!'' Nothing...
He felt sick to the stomach. Knowing crossed his mind. He left slowly and began walking to the Throne Room. What do I do now? If he isn't dead yet he soon will be, as will I and the rest of us...the last of us except for kakorott.
He arrived at the throne room door and without knocking forced the doors open. Just as he had thought. Nappa and Radditz stood back to back ruefully watching the encirclement of guards around them. Zarbon held the unconscious boy by the scruff of his shirt and was about to lay another blow as Frieza watched sadistically. All action stopped as Vegeta was noticed. '' Ah Vegeta, glad you could join us.'' Vegeta watched his smiling face with hate as Frieza continued. ''I assume you realise your offense and why it is punishable by death. Treason is without a doubt an extremely serious offence. Vegeta smiled '' And tyranny is not?'' Zarbon dropped the boy and took a step towards Vegeta.
''Watch your mouth Prince, unless a slow death is more to your liking.''
''The only death you'll cause Zarbon is your own'' Frieza stood up '' Enough Vegeta. You have risked a lot for this boy. Oh yes, i know all about it. Don't look so surprised my monkey friend. Ofcourse I have eyes and ears all over. As punishment you will watch the last of your annoying little baboon race be eliminated. Unless ofcourse you are powerful enough to challenge me?
Frieza extended an arm sideways a ki ball enveloping on the tip of his finger. A lazer of ki was released striking Nappa in the chest. Nappa looked down at his fatal wound then back to Vegeta before collapsing in death.
Vegeta watched him fall emotions flaring once again. He stands before me, the prince of al saiyans and kills my subjects. Anger erupted deep inside of him.
Frieza laughed ammused at the saiyans reaction. He walked slowly to Radditz and stopped in front of him. Radditz didn't move an inch and showed no sign of fear.
Frieza extended his arm once again gripping him with his ki. Radditz's body was frozen and shaking. Frieza slowly began to close his hand causing Radditz to shake the pressure building. He let out a cry.
Vegeta watched with hate burning in his eyes. I care nothing for Radditz but why do I feel pain? He is a brother, a link to an extinct race....my race.
Frieza tightened his grip creating a fist. Blood oozed from all over his body until he exploded in a light show of crimson. Vegeta fell to his knees. All we ever wanted was freedom. They trusted me to deliver it to them. I'm sorry....so sorry.
Frieza watched Vegeta and was satisfied with his reaction. '' Do you see now monkey? You could never have succeeded. Such a fool. I almost pity you.'' He looked towards Zarbon. ''You may finish the job Zarbon.
''It would be my pleasure Lord Frieza''
Vegeta looked towards Zarbon. He picked the boy up and began to charge a ki blast. Vegeta could feel Zarbons energy grow. What do I do now? He looked at the boy. So helpless now, if he ever needed anyone in his life it would be now. His mind was in turmoil, hate clashing with love, clashing with rage, colliding with truth. Everything came together to form an emotion more powerful than anything but could not be put into words.
Helplessness was overcome with intense need. Need to protect, need to save, need to preserve. I am a saiyan warrior! The power is mine to weild, my right!
Vegeta slowly came to his feet looking to the floor. ''I won't let you! No More!
A white aura seeped out of Vegeta his eyes glazed white, his hair a sail in a hurricane. The earth shook, the ground tore and Vegeta broke.
The white aura gave way to one of gold growing bigger and raging like a tempest. ''No more!!!!'
Vegeta was enveloped in gold, clashing with his black heart. His hair wavelike and gold, his aura tormented and gold, his eyes cold and turquois.
All in the room watched him with awe. A sight worthy of illusion. Godlike in stature and painfull in temperment. Frieza uncertainly watched his pet. ''What is this?''
Vegeta smirked looked to Zarbon then to Frieza. '' This is your destruction. Zarbon dropped the boy, unsure of what was about to happen. Vegeta raised his arm and pointed it it Zarbon. ''It's my turn now'' He released a single golden ki ball which peirced his body and killed him instantly.
Frieza smiled. '' You will need much more than that my friend. Frieza knew that he would aswell. Vegeta attacked with truly godlike speed. He shoulder charged Frieza with a force that had not challenged him that way in his life. He crashed through the throne room and out into the open. The stations populace fled in panic. Frieza stood up quickly. Although impressed by his power he was disappointed. ''So thats a super saiyan? Not much is it''
Vegeta flew after him landing in front of him, an arrogant smile on his face. '' Are you enjoying yourself Frieza? I am...''
''Foolish little monkey. You are still nowhere near strong enough to take me on. Theres more to Frieza than you will ever know.He took a fighting stance and closed his eyes in concentration. A sphere shaped aura enveloped him, covering him, transforming him. It ended in an explosion and a flurry of power. Frieza had changed. He looked the same but was much bigger and twice as powerful.
Vegeta was outraged. Frieza's power once again exceeded his by far
''Surprised? I imagine you must be...I say it again, in what world could you ever have succeeded?''
Vegeta roared, a sound of pain and frustration before attacking. He threw blows with all his furry. Frieza was taken back and unprepared for such a savage attack. Many blows were blocked but many landed squarely.
Vegeta knew he could not win but he had to atleast escape. Both attacked each other with equal furry none gaining ground. Vegeta desperately fighting for his life as well as the boys. Vegeta gained the upper hand for a split second and took advantage of it to the full. He landed a searing blow sending Frieza on his way following it up by a barrage of ki balls. Before he could give Frieza a chance to recover he charged up a fully powered Gallit Gun and unleashed his anger. His energy fast depleting he flew towards the throne room. The boy lay where he had fallen. He picked him up and flew with all the energy he had left. Through the panicked crowd at evil speed. The hangars almost in sight. A ki ball flew past his head and exploded against a building sending debris everywhere. Vegeta looked behind him to see Frieza in persuit. Vegeta flew into a random hangar and threw the boy into a pod before turning around. Frieza was mildly wounded holding one arm. Vegeta drew some satisfaction from it
His power was fast depleting. Only have one more left in me, must make it count. He took a stance showing he was about to do or die. Drawing every single shred of remaining energy. Effort slowly killing him he left only enough energy to live. He released a massive ki ball hurling it towards Frieza. It cracked with energy and burned with fury. It missed its mark by far. Frieza stopped and laughed '' Stupid fool....you've missed''
Vegeta smiled, no I haven't. Frieza looked backwards to find the blast heading for the power room. On contact it would destroy the entire station. It would cause a vast blast as a result of the Black crystal powering the station compacting causing the station fall into itself much like a black hole.
Vegeta enjoyed the annoyed look on Frieza's face before entering the pod. He punched in random co-ordinates and hit the blue button sending the ship into space rocketing away at light speed. Within seconds the dark of space was illuminated by white caressing everything. Frieza will live but it will buy time to escape. The ship shuddered and spun. Then there was still and silence. Vegeta looked at the contol panel to find out where they were headed. Destination planet Selenia, A large planet with an enormous gravity field. The planet is one of two in the solar system and orbit a neutron star thus the extreme gravity field. Not much is know about the planets populus....
Vegeta sighed. Its as good as any. It will make a good training ground. Lets just hope Frieza doesn't find us until it is time. He looked at the still unconscious boy. There is still much to do. He reached for the boy to stroke his head before stopping. He won't know. He continued. His heart felt something strange for the first time in his life but he dare not even utter it. Everything will be fine. The pod drifted off into the cold uninviting darkness of space....
Thanks again people for the revies and suggestions. I think this story will get more interesting from this chapter onwards...
