Vegeta frowned, absentmindedly destroying the robots that were darting around him as he trained in the Gravity chamber. He didn't trust her. She had no noticeable energy level that he could sense, and she just seemed off to him. He knew that his son and Kakarrot's brat had taken to her pretty fast, and that seemed like it meant something, but he couldn't help thinking that what she had talked about, what would happen for the two brats to need these new powers, was something more than what she was letting on.
He glared around him, noticing that he'd yet again destroyed all the droids. Stalking over to the consule, he shut off the gravity, thinking that he'd have to let his mate know that the gravity chamber needed more droids.
Exiting the gravity chamber, he glanced around sensing that his brat and Kakarrot's brat were in the house, up in his brat's room, and that his mate was in her lab, probably busy working on some new gadjet or other. Smiling slightly, he huffed, taking off into the air and heading to the desert to train.
As he flew, his thoughts turned back to the female that had shown up a little over a week ago. He still wasn't able to gauge her power level or strength. All she ever did, was accompany his and Kakarrot's brats about, playing with them when they wanted her to. And if she wasn't with the brats, no one knew where she was. I was like she just disappeared.
When his brat had asked to let her stay with them, gazing at him excitedly from her grasp, his first instinct had been to grab his son, and blast the female with everything he contained. He still didn't know why he didn't follow his first instinct, but it had seemed almost wrong to attack her, almost as wrong as he felt about what she hadn't told them about the upcoming enemy.
So he'd agreed to let the female stay with them, thereby earning a bawling out after his mate found out. He grinned, remembering the sex that had followed the arguement. He would be surprised if she was pregnant again. She had been getting moody lately.
During the female's stay, he'd kept a close eye on her, always watching from the shadows, not trusting her, but not overly concerned for some reason. He just felt that he had to watch her. When his brat's saiyan powers had suddenly cut off, being replaced by something foreign, he'd been startled, to say the least. He'd taken the brat to his mate, telling her that something had happened. She'd done some tests, but everything had come back negative. There was nothing wrong with their son.
Then, when he'd heard that the same thing happened with Kakarrot's brat, he'd been confused, and maybe a little worried. Even though he didn't show it, he did consider Kakarrot to be a friend and ally. When ChiChi had died of cancer just months after Goten had been born, Kakarrot had been devistated, and it had only been the thought that his children would be left alone that had kept him from following her to the afterlife.
He had helped Kakarrot work through his pain, thanking whoever it was that watched over them that his friend hadn't killed himself. Not that anyone would have noticed that Vegeta cared enough to say anything about it. He still acted the same around everyone, seeming like he could care less if everyone he knew was killed.
The truth was, he had come to care about his mate and her friends. Sure, he didn't show it, but if one of them had ever been in trouble, then he would have been one of the first ones to help. But so far, the only help he'd had to give out, was with Kakarrot's brat, Gohan. Something to do with that pathetic female that hung around him.
Shrugging out of his thoughts, Vegeta landed in the desert, glancing around, smirking when he noticed Kakarrot off to the side a few feet away from him. Grunting slightly, he walked over to the taller saiyan, crossing his arms.
"Hey Vegeta! How's it going?" Goku exclaimed, grinning.
"Hm. Kakarrot? Why do you insist on plaguing me with your presence?" Vegeta demanded.
"Ah, Vegeta! I figured you might want to spar with me!" Goku exclaimed, his eyes pleading.
Grunting, Vegeta shrugged, replying, "Later."
Nodding his acceptance, Goku dropped onto a nearby rock, looking out over the land. "Hey Vegeta? What do you think of Chaos?"
Frowning now, Vegeta growled, "She's a fake."
"Vegeta! That's not nice. She seems nice enough. The kids love her," Goku stated.
"I don't trust her. She has no energy signature."
"Now you just sound like Piccolo. He keeps saying that we should keep an eye on her, make sure that she doesn't do anything to the kids," Goku explained, glancing at Vegeta as he too sat.
"The Namek has the right idea. That's the only reason I said the woman could stay at Capsule Corps," Vegeta stated.
"Yeah, I figured there was some other reason to you allowing her to stay with you guys. That you would allow someone unknown to stay with you, around your mate and child, seemed a little off to me. It's just not your style," Goku commented, his voice soft.
"I don't trust her, but for some reason, I feel like she won't harm the kids, or Bulma," Vegeta mused.
"Yeah. I feel like I should know her for some reason, but I can't place why. She just seems familiar to me somehow," Goku murmured, almost to himself.
Snorting, Vegeta rolled his eyes, but refrained from commenting.
"Hey Vegeta?" Goku questioned after a moment of silence.
"What, Kakarrot?" Vegeta growled, glaring at the taller saiyan.
Grinning, Goku tilted his head to the side, asking, "Can we spar now?"
Groaning slightly, Vegeta rolled his eyes, mentally comparing Goku's ability to stay still to that of a hyper four year old's. Standing, Vegeta nodded, beginning to power up as Goku grinned wider, shooting to his feet.
They sparred for a few hours, going at it like the meaned to kill each other, this being normal for them. It wasn't until they felt a huge surge of energy, did they pause in their fighting.
"What the hell was that?" Vegeta demanded, eyes slightly wide.
"Dunno," Goku commented, feeling strange for a moment.
Vegeta turned to Goku, intending to tell him that they should check out the energy signature, only to see Goku suddenly grow pale and faint.
'Brother....'
'Huh? Where am I?' Goku looked around, seeing nothing but blinding fog.
'Brother....'
'Huh? Are you talking to me?' Goku frowned, wondering where the voice was coming from.
'It is almost time, Brother....'
Goku frowned deeper. The hauntingly soft voice seemed familiar to him. He felt like he knew it from somewhere, but he couldn't figure out where from. 'Who are you?'
'Your time has almost come, Brother.....Sister has begun the preperations for your arrival...'
'What are you talking about? Who are you?' Goku questioned, walking forward into the fog.
'Always asking so many questions.....'
'What are you?' Goku inquired, stopping.
'You are not afraid?'
'Afraid? Why? Should I be?' Goku questioned, his voice curious.
'Never. You need never fear me or what is to come....'
'Are you talking about the fight Chaos talked about?' Goku questioned.
'Chaos....'
'Yeah. She showed up a couple weeks ago.' Goku explained.
'Chaos....I see....It has begun then....'
'What do you mean? What's begun?' Goku asked.
'Tell me, Brother. Is she happy?'
'Is she happy? Yeah, I guess so. She plays with the kids a lot.' Goku replied.
'Kids? Chaos is young?'
'Not really. She's about my eldest son's age, 19. She just plays with my other son, Goten, and his friend, Trunks.' Goku stated.
'I see....She has chosen then....'
'Chosen? What do you mean?' Goku inquired.
'She has chosen the saviors of your planet. They will save the planet, protecting it until you arrive.'
'What do you mean? I'm already here.' Goku stated, confused. He frowned when he heard soft laughter.
'Your body is there. You are not. Not for a long time have you truly been there.'
'Huh?'
'I see you are still easily confused. I must go, Brother.'
'Wait! Who are you?' Goku exclaimed, walking deeper into the fog, searching for the source of the voice.
'You will know soon enough....'
