Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 3: fallen princeGohan flew towards Capsule Corp home base at a rapid speed with Goten still sleeping in his arms.
The massive complex had already called in someone to make repairs after Goten's little rampage. Replacement glass doors had already been placed at the entrance and the repairman had just finished testing the hinges when Gohan landed. He kicked the door open so it slammed into the poor repairman and the glass shattered and rained down on him.
All the people in the small lobby stared as he entered and Bulma glared.
"Oh great. Another door down…" she sighed then noticed Goten and quickly ushered the demi-saiyan to the living room.
"What happened? We've been getting calls from pretty much everyone asking why you two had powered up so much!" she exclaimed as they reached the room. Gohan didn't say a word and instead pushed past her and into the room where he was attacked almost immediately by a grief stricken Chichi.
"Are you ok? What did you do to Goten? What happened out there? Why did-" she started but Gohan pushed her away and dumped Goten onto the sofa before retreating to an armchair in the corner of the large room.
Videl stepped forward to ask if her husband was feeling all right but someone held her back. Bulma shook her head at her.
"Don't. Lets just let him cool down before we question him." She told the younger woman who nodded and they all looked worriedly at the boys.
Vegeta drove down the motorway at top speed. It was strangely quiet on the long stretch of tarmac and there wasn't another car in sight. It was just Vegeta and Bra in their lone convertible air-car driving against the beautiful sunset.
Bra watched the sunset set over the ocean as they drove and sighed.
"The perfect ending to the perfect day." She muttered and only got a grunt out of her father. She couldn't blame him for being grumpier then usual. This day was probably the complete opposite to perfect to him. Shopping was more of a torture for the saiyan prince.
She tore herself away from the view and looked to the back seat of the car where many of the purchases that couldn't fit in the car's boot were lying.
"Can't believe that I bought so much." Bra said, attempting to strike up a conversation.
"You mean that I bought." Vegeta snapped as he drove. Bra laughed.
"Actually mum bought them. But aren't father's supposed to buy nice things for their little princesses?" she asked in a sweet voice. Vegeta bit back any comments and concentrated on driving. Bra frowned at this and started digging through one of the bags.
"What's this?" she asked herself as she felt a small container. Vegeta quickly glanced at her.
"Oh, you bought some scented shaving gel for yourself." She laughed and made Vegeta frown in what she knew was embarrassment.
"Aw, come on daddy, you look years younger without that thing." She told him but he still didn't say anything. Instead his eyes moved to the rear-view mirror to see another car with teenage boys speeding behind them.
Soon the second car came zooming towards them and quickly moved into the second lane, slowing down. The guy and the passenger side looked passed Vegeta and at Bra.
"Hey there. What's a girl like you doing with him?" the guy called from his car and Bra stared at him.
"Yea, why don't you dump the old dude and come hang with us for a while and we'll have some fun!" the second guy called.
Before Bra could answer, Vegeta turned the steering wheel and rammed into the other car. He then leant over and tore out the other car's steering wheel and drove off, leaving the other guys to crash through the barrier and fall into the water below.
Bra frowned at her father then looked back at the guys in the water.
"Sorry guys! My dad just has a bad temper!" she yelled at them.
Gohan's head snapped up. It had been small and had disappeared as quickly as it had appeared but he had definitely felt Vegeta's energy spike. He knew where the prince was.
Gohan abruptly got up and started walking to the door. The women all looked away from what they were doing to see what he was doing. Chichi had been tending to an unconscious Goten, Bulma had been working on her laptop and Videl had been reading. Now they all watched Gohan and Videl got up.
"Where do you think you're going?" she asked but Gohan didn't answer and put his hand on the doorknob. He stopped when Videl's hand laid itself on his shoulder.
"Gohan, what is with you tonight?" she asked. Gohan growled. He didn't have time to deal with her so instead of answering he tensed up and purple ki-bolts ran down his body, shocking her and making the lights explode.
Videl jumped back as the glass from the ceiling lamp fell around her and Gohan wordlessly left.
"Gohan?" she whispered.
Gohan flew swiftly out of a window and continued to fly to the spot where he had sensed Vegeta. Soon he was out of the city and flying over the countryside that surrounded it. Gohan guessed that they had gone to the mall that had been purposefully built on the edge of the farms simply because of its enormous size. It had been too big to build within the city so it had to be built outside of its borders.
Soon Gohan had reached the motorway and was following it back round to west city. He was sure that he would find Vegeta there.
And I'll finally have the strongest life form on this rock at my disposal. Gohan is impressive but if he's right about Vegeta then this is nothing. Bebi thought from the safety of Gohan's head. He was truly excited over the chance of getting more power.It had grown dark. The sun had finished setting and stars now filled the sky. Vegeta continued to drive towards west city. They were nearly there now and only needed to go across a bridge that was over another road that led to Satan city and beyond. Then they would be home.
The prospect of the overly large complex that was Capsule Corp made Vegeta smirk. He just wanted to get back there so he could spend the next few hours in his gravity room. But suddenly he doubted that he would get there any time soon.
A flicker of movement had caught Vegeta's eye. Something had been jumping from lamppost to lamppost at a speed that no untrained person would have picked up. Bra hadn't noticed anything and was still talking as she surfed the radio stations, complaining about rap. Before she could register what happened, Vegeta had grabbed her and flown out of the car, leaving it to crash into a ki-blast.
The princess blinked at the ruined car as it continued to roll out of the smoke, now singed and badly damaged. Bra stared at it as Vegeta lowered them down to the ground and then her blue eyes slowly moved to where her father was glaring. Gohan stood on one of the lampposts with an uncharacteristically evil smirk spread across his face. He had a smoking palm raised and pointed to the spot where the blast had impacted with the car.
Bra glared at Gohan and quickly the temper she had inherited from her father flared up.
"Gohan! Do you have any idea what you just did? You ruined just about all of my new clothes! My very expensive new clothes! You better pay for all of the damage done! And just look at our car!" she yelled, not noticing that Gohan wasn't listening.
"Bra! Leave!" Vegeta's voice cut through the air and startled her enough to stop her little tirade.
She stared at her father.
"But dad, he-" Bra began.
"I said leave." Vegeta said again, scarily calm. Bra instantly shut up and got into the wrecked car. It was actually still able to start up.
Bra gave Gohan and her father one last look.
"You better get him to pay up, dad." She called to her father then sped off down the road.
Gohan watched her carefully then looked at Vegeta. Vegeta stared back with cold coal-black eyes.
"You are not Gohan." He said.
Bebi Gohan didn't even flinch and just stared at Vegeta, still wearing the smirk. Vegeta narrowed his eyes and watched him.
"I can sense Gohan's power signature mixed with another within you. So who are you and why are you inside the brat?" Vegeta asked, moving into his classic pose with his arms folded across his chest.
Bebi Gohan smirked at him.
"Can't you guess what I am?" he asked. Vegeta hardened his cold glare.
"If I had to guess then I would say a Tsfuru-jin but I thought that they were all killed." He told him. Bebi Gohan laughed.
"Well then you are just as stupid as your father." He told the prince then charged, instantly powering up in his mystic form to be equal to a level two saiyan and throwing a punch to try and catch Vegeta's jaw. The prince was thrown backwards but landed on his feet. He skidded to a halt and transformed into a level two super saiyan and charged at the same time as Bebi Gohan and both of them punching at the same time.
Goten groaned as he lay on the sofa at Capsule Corp. His eyes slowly fluttered open and the sight of his mother greeted him.
"Mum?" he mumbled. Chichi let out a small cry and wrapped her youngest son in a tight hug.
"Oh, my baby is ok! Thank Kami!" she cried.
"Mum, can't breath!" Goten said hoarsely and Chichi let go.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you alright?" she asked, her voice full of worry.
"Yea mum, just confused. Wasn't I on a date?" he asked, hoping he didn't faint in front of Paris. Chichi frowned at him but it was Videl who answered.
"You came round here demanding to see Vegeta. Then you attacked Gohan." She said, frowning at the floor. She was worried about her husband.
"I what?" Goten asked. He couldn't remember that.
"You ripped this place up as well. All of the doors from here to the lobby were torn apart. Not to mention that dent in the wall." Bulma said, looking up from her laptop. Goten stayed in thoughtful silence for a moment.
"I guess Gohan hit me too hard round the head. I'm really sorry Bulma." He said then noticed something in the bin. Chichi followed his gaze then frowned.
"You destroyed my frying pan as well." She said in a sad tone.
"Sorry mum." Goten said, although he obviously didn't mean that one.
Chichi sighed.
"It's alright. As long as your ok." She said.
"Ok. I just need a glass of water." Goten said to the women and got up to get one.
Goten walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He stared thoughtfully at it, wondering what exactly happened before downing the cool liquid. He put the glass down then, after a moment, lurched forward. He felt sick and he was in pain. He stayed hunched over the sink and his hands clutched the edge, one hand knocking the glass off of the side, sending it smashing onto the ground.
Chichi heard the glass smash and hurried into the kitchen just as Goten straightened up.
"Are you ok? I heard something…" she trailed off and spotted the shards of glass on the floor. Goten turned to a door that led to a balcony.
"I'm going out." He said simply. Chichi stared worriedly at him and placed a hand on his shoulder before he could take off.
"But Goten you're not yourself. I think you should lie down." She said but Goten roughly pushed her hand away and took off.
Chichi stared after him in shock and sunk to her knees. Bulma came outside and saw Goten flying away then knelt next to Chichi to comfort her.
"What is wrong with my boys?" the poor woman asked. Bulma stared at her and sighed, feeling sorry for the younger woman whom she had always admired for putting up with so much.
"I don't know, Chi…I don't know." She sighed.
Vegeta kicked Bebi Gohan off of him and smirked. He was stronger and faster then Gohan, even after Bebi had Gohan power up to full. Vegeta had gone to level three and was still a step ahead of him.
Bebi Gohan fired several blasts at Vegeta who slapped them all away as if they were flies before launching himself forward and punching Gohan across the jaw and sent him flying back. Vegeta charged a blast and Gohan's eyes widened.
"Wait! You can't kill me, if you do then Gohan goes with me!" Gohan warned the prince in Bebi's deep voice. Vegeta shrugged it off.
"Why would that concern me? You'd be gone and I doubt that the boy will stay dead." Vegeta said, full of confidence.
Bebi Gohan glared then phased out of sight. Vegeta reabsorbed the ki-blast in his hand then quickly shot his elbow backwards, hitting Gohan hard in the gut as he came back into view.
The saiyan prince turned and watched him as he doubled over. Bebi Gohan frowned and floated backwards. Vegeta smirked at him.
"Looks like you are all bark and no bite." Vegeta told him. Gohan's face contorted into a frown and then the possessed scholar disappeared as he quickly lunged forward at the prince, starting the fight again.
Vegeta was blocking Bebi Gohan's attacks almost lazily. Gohan threw a round house, followed by two quick jabs then another kick then a spinning kick followed by a lucky spin punch that hit. Vegeta stumbled backwards in the air and then had a kick to the chest that sent him flying backwards. He managed to stop himself and the two warriors entered a stare down.
Goten arrived on the scene just as the two entered it.
"Hey! I'm here to help!" he called but Vegeta brushed him off.
"Well I don't need it." He said and jumped towards Bebi Gohan. Before he could get too close a blast sailed towards his back and he managed to spin round just in time to deflect it.
"Vegeta glared at Goten whose hand was still out stretched.
"I didn't say who I'd be helping." The demi said with a sly grin.
"True. And he will be extremely helpful." Bebi's voice said and made Vegeta turn round to glare at him.
Gohan smirked then both brothers charged at Vegeta, who quickly learnt just how hard it was to fight two saiyans.
Goten had gone super saiyan two and swung at Vegeta who ducked just as Gohan threw a kick at him that caught his stomach. Goten landed a heavy blow to Vegeta's back that sent him flying towards the ground but Gohan was down there waiting for the prince and kicked him back up.
Vegeta stopped himself in mid air and paid great attention to the two demi-saiyans. The brothers exchanged a glance and then they both started circling Vegeta at a tremendous speed and eventually they had made a type of ki-hurricane.
Vegeta couldn't move without being cut by it. He soon had cuts all the way down his arms and on his cheeks but couldn't do anything to get out…except maybe one thing.
"What's the matter Vegeta? Can't you get out?" Goten's voice called to him.
"Don't think he can. Must be too weak." Bebi's voice mocked.
A vein on Vegeta's forehead bulged and he began to power up. His aura flared violently around him. His power burst outwards and knocked the two demi-saiyans out of the ki-hurricane.
But un-noticed by Vegeta was a silver liquid that went flying into his every wound while he was busy screaming and powering up.
Finally he stopped and levelled off. Vegeta breathed heavily and looked at both boys who were lying on the ground, unable to fight. Vegeta sighed and powered back down to his regular form before noticing something.
The second power signature that was inside of Gohan wasn't there anymore. It was…
"Silly Vegeta. Like I said, you're as stupid as your father." Bebi's voice said. It took Vegeta a while to realise that the sound had came from his own lips.
"Who are you?" he demanded. He had to buy some time to get his energy back up and push the parasite out.
"I'm Bebi. One of the victims of the saiyan race." Bebi's voice said through Vegeta's mouth.
"What?" Vegeta asked and Bebi laughed.
"The saiyans attacked the Tsfuru-jin home world, led by your father. To keep Tsfuru-jin species alive they created a genetically superior being. That being was me. They sent me into space where an alien doctor called Myuu found me. And now I'm here for revenge." He explained.
Slowly some of Bebi's own facial features seemed to appear on Vegeta's face. The red lines that had been on his face appeared on Vegeta's. He was losing control.
"What did you do to the boys?" Vegeta asked, struggling.
"Simple. Before I leave a body I implant an egg inside it. It then controls that person when I'm gone. Isn't that right Gohan?" Bebi said as he walked up to the saiyan scholar. Gohan raised his head and smiled.
"Yes Bebi." He said with a nod.
"You see? Oh and Vegeta, don't bother trying to fight me. You've already lost!" Bebi proclaimed and powered up, his hair turning a white colour and his laughter filling the air.
Vegeta had indeed lost.
