'Are you ready boy? What's taking you so long?'' Gohan emerged from his room carrying a bag containing posessions he had accumulated over the years. Vegeta looked at him with annoyance. ''What's with all the junk?''
''It's my junk ok. We might never come back, you said so yourself.'' Gohan tucked his pendant underneath his shirt.
Vegeta smiled. ''You still have that thing?'' Gohan put his hand behind his head. '' Sure. I like wearing it. It reminds me of long ago and all we've been through. Guess you can call it a good luck charm.
''How did you become so sentimental? You didn't learn that from me.'' Gohan smiled. ''Don't know, guess that's just the way I am.''
''Enough talk. It's time to focus. Come on....'' Vegeta walked out the door.
Gohan began to exit but stopped before he reached the door. He turned around slowly and surveyed the house for the last time. I'm going to miss this old place. He sighed softly and walked out the door. The whole comunity had gathered outside their house in order to bid farewell. Promethius stood in the front of the crowd with a sad look in his eyes. He came forward slowly before stopping in front of the pair of saiyans. '' So...It is finally time? You have reached your goal and now you must leave to finish what was left undone.'' Vegeta nodded. ''Yes my old friend. We must leave. Our years here have been pleasant ones and we will never forget any of you. Vegeta extended his arm and touched his right shoulder, Pomethius doing the same. ''Goodbye. Hopefully not forever?'' Vegeta shrugged. ''It is not certain yet. only time will tell.'' He nodded then looked to Gohan. ''And ofcourse we haven't forgoten you my boy.'' Gohan smiled '' I'll never forget you. Any of you. You're all my family.'' Promethius smiled. They said goodbye in the way of the Salenian.
''Ok boy, it's finally time.'' Gohan looked at him. ''Yes...'' They began walking towards a structure not far from their house which housed the pods they would use to reap revenge and stop the tyranny of the one known as Frieza. They waved their final goodbyes to the people who had been like family and the planet that had been a home. '' Ok boy, listen carefully. Plot the co-ordinates TSX-3. Got it?'' Gohan nodded. '' Where is it?''
''It's another of Frieza's space stations. If he's not there surely their will be someone who can tell us his location.
Gohan nodded his understanding. They climbed into their respective pods as the structures large doors began to open. ''Ready?'' Vegeta's voice reverberated inside Gohans pod. ''Ofcourse, let's go....''
They both plotted their co-ordinates before hitting a blue button. Both pods soared into life rumbling like a woken demon. They shot out of the structure acting as a hanger and jetted off into the calm void of space. ''You may as well get some sleep boy. Our destination is uite far from here.'' Gohan acknowleged Vegeta's voice behind the sandpapery audio transmition static. ''Ok, I guess I could use some sleep. Couldn't get any shuteye last night anyway.''
''Well make use of this time wisely then''
It wasn't long before Gohan fell asleep. His mind reached unreality and he was locked in a dream state: He found himself on a beautiful planet of colour and variety. It was green and radient with blue skys and clear water. He looked around in awe. Everything was so peaceful. He was thirsty so he stopped at a river to take a drink. His thirst quenched he stood up and turned around. A man stood behind him. A figure of power and peace, strength but a certain gentleness. ''There you are Gohan, i've been looking all over for you.
''Who are you? Tell me please!'' The man smiled and shook his head. ''Don't be silly Gohan. How can you not know me? Gohan shook his head. ''Tell me....please.''
The man laughed mildly. ''I'm your....''
''Boy! Wake up!'' Gohan shot into reallity. The real world striking him like a whiplash. ''Vegeta..yes, i'm awake.
''Good! We've arrived. Let me dothe talking, you say nothing. Understand.
''Ok, no problem'' The two pods stopped in front of the station hangar. There was silence for a short while until a voice could be heard over the transmition equipment.
''Identify''
''Prince Vegeta'' There was a stunned silence for a few seconds. ''Vegeta? Are you a fool? There's a huge bounty on your head. What are you doing here.''
''It's none of your concern. Let both pods enter and you can try and collect the bounty if you wish'' There was laughing from the other end. ''You are truly a fool but you may enter.
The hangar doors opened slowly allowing the two pods to enter. They both landed side by side. The room filled out immedietly with many gaurds. The two Saiyans exited their pods slowly surveying their surrounding, bot smirking slightly.
Vegeta took a step forward. ''Where is Frieza?'' An officer stepped forward. ''He is on official buisiness elsewhere but i'm sure he would love the pleasure of your company.''
Vegeta smiled ''And we his..'' The officer waved a hand forward sending a wave of gaurds to intercept the pair. Vegeta took yet another step forward and merely powered up a ki flame blazing around him intensely. The gaurds were swept back and knocked unconscious. The officer was openly shocked a small hint of fear starting to form on his face. Vegeta smiled satisfied, the ki flame slowly abating. ''What is you name?'' The oficer looked uncertainly at Vegeta. ''It's Cassius.''
''Well Cassius me and my friend here surrender.'' A surprised loko enguled his face. ''Surrender?''
''Yes, but only under one condition.'' Cassius craned his head forward in interest. ''And what condition is that?''
''Take us to Frieza immedietly. If you fail to comply we will have no hesitation in destroying this entire station.
Cassius looked shocked. He had no doubt that destroying the station would'nt even cause Vegeta to break a sweat. ''Ok, ok. That can be arranged. Wait here, I'll be back soon. Vegeta nodded smiling in an ammused fashion.
Cassius made his way to the control room in a panic. ''Get out of my way! Move!'' On arrival he was flustered and anxious. ''Set up a link with Lord Frieza now!''
It wasn't long before Frieza's dispicable face was visible on the giant screen. ''How dare you ignorant fools! You had all better pray that this is important. Cassius you worm! Are you responsible for this?'' Cassius gulped. ''I....uh, yes Lord Frieza, but it's very important.'' Frieza looked annoyed '' Stop stammering you fool. Spit it out!''
''Ofcourse, well you see Vegeta and some strange boy are in the station at this moment and...''
''Vegeta's there?!? Why didn't you say so you moron! Is he secure? Make sure he can't escape.I'll be there soon.''
''Well Lord Frieza it in't necissary to secure him. He came out of his own free will and he wants me to take him to you or he'll destroy the station...'' Frieza looked ammused. ''Are you serious? Very well then. I am currently on a planet called Dysiria. The co-ordinates are X98S. I'll be waiting.'' Cassius nodded '' Very well my Lord.
''Tell him he's a bigger fool than I previously thought.'' Cassius nodded again and the transmition was cut.
He got up and made his way back to the hangar. He gave random orders as he walked. ''Lisander ready a ship! And you Remus are in charge during my absence.'' He finaly made it back to the hangar where Gohan and Vegeta were waiting. ''Well? Do we have a deal?'' Cassius nodded ''Yes we do. We leave right now. Follow me.''
He led them to a moderately large ship. ''We leave on this.'' Vegeta nodded. The three of them as well as a crew for the ship. The hangar door opened and the ship growled into life. It sailed smoothly out of the hangar and began it's journey towards destiny.
''How long will this take?'' Cassius spoke carefully. '' This ship is not designed to move as fast as your pods, it's much slower and...''
''I asked how long, not for the history of space travel.'' He nodded. ''It shoud take about 24 hours. Vegeta contemplated this for a while. ''Very well.'' Damn! We shood have taken the pods!. ''Show us to seperate rooms so we can rest.''
''Certainly, follow me.'' Vegeta and Gohan both followed the strange looking blue creature. He stopped in front of a door. ''The room next to this is also avalable.''
Vegeta nodded ''You may go.'' Cassius walked away quickly. 'Well boy, more delay but the time is coming. We will realise our destiny soon.'' Gohan nodded. ''Go get some more rest.
''Ok Vegeta, i guess i'll see you later then.'' He opened the door and entered the room. Vegeta made his way to his own room entered and lay down on the army like bunk bed. So close now. I look forward to it. Frieza doesn't stand a chance. With satisfaction he roled on his side, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Kewl kewl. Getting interesting now. Took me a while to think this chapter over.
