Ch107: Untold memories

Hey everyone. This is a brief note. If you read my story Untold Memories… this is going to sound very familiar … well to be honest this is the exact thing but told by Raditz. So anyway please review and enjoy as always.

They continued to walk until they got to a lake. On the lake was Vegeta! He was floating about one inch from the water. Yellow ripples of energy spread along the lake in a ripple affect pattern. Vegeta's hair had gotten a bit longer, and had turned from jet black to a dark blackish purplish color. His power was increasing. Goku was shocked at Vegeta's power. It had grown.

" How is this possible?" Goku asked Tarka.

" I can only guess. Prince Vegeta's power is quite unique. He has gone past everyone who had reached this level, even Cageta. However it's not by much. The two of them have unique energy patterns much like their children. I do know one thing though, this trait will pass down for many generations."

" I never had a chance!" Goku stated.

" What are you taking about Kakarot?" Saguta asked.

" I fought with Vegeta on many occasions and I never realized up till now he had only been toying with me. If he had used that power all those years ago he would have killed me."

" Kakarot he couldn't have anyway. He made a promise to you long ago he can't break. A promise he also gave me." Raditz said.

" What promise was that?"

" Well I guess I should tell you the whole story. Shouldn't I?"

" Before you begin I think we should relocate. It would be better. Besides when Prince Vegeta gets fired up like that he could kill us all without realizing." Tarka said.

So the gang of Saiyans walked away a few good yards before Raditz spook again. " You what to hear this?"

" Ya. I do."

" Are you sure, little brother?"

" Yes. Go on."

" Ok here goes. Well all of you know the fact that Prince Vegeta is a special case. He is not the type to show his feelings for another, however, He do it once, at least as I can remember." Raditz paused, then continued, "This all started with a young Vegeta when he was crying over his sister's body. It was a sad site. A young Nappa and a younger version of me were standing behind the prince. We knew it was hard on him but we were trying to "cheer him up"." Raditz paused for a second time. " Let me mention to you that I am repeating exactly what everyone said that day so bear with me."

" Sure brother. Continue."

Flash back….

" Sire…" I started to say.

" Why does it have to be this way. She was just a infant!" Vegeta started to cry even more. I walked over to him.

" Sire I know this is hard on you and everything but we have to get going. Your father wanted to see you." Vegeta dried his tears and stood up.

He turned to Nappa and said, " Tell my father that I'm busy. I have things to take care of first." Nappa was hesitant for a moment then left.

" Come Raditz. We have to talk about something." Vegeta said as he started to walk off. I followed him not knowing what the prince wanted to talk to me about. When Vegeta stopped walking we were in front of the nursery. Vegeta was starring at Goku.

" I envy you Raditz. You have a little brother to look after. I however will never have that chance."

" I wish that was true. Kakarot will be sent away, you know. I will never see him grow up like I would have liked. You know I would have loved to see his first kill. That is always a proud moment. However I also know that, that will never be. Somehow Kakarot will forget everything and he would be my enemy. He will despise me and he will be the one who brings me down. I know it." I was in a sense proud that my brother would be such a powerful warrior but I couldn't help but to be disappointed that my brother would be against me.

" There is something else Raditz. He will also defeat me. He will be the first to bring me to my knees. Ha, who would have guessed."

" Aren't you worried? If my brother would be that powerful then why don't you try to get…"

" Stronger.. No that wouldn't help. I know that now. I am not going to run and hide. I will let things happen like it does."

" Sire does it really have to be this way?"

" I wish it wouldn't. I know that our world will be destroyed, I know that I will lose the best friends, the only friends I have ever had. It is something that I can't avoid."

By this time Nappa had come back. He couldn't believe that his prince would have considered him to be a friend.

" Raditz... Nappa… I want to two of you to do me a favor."

" Anything" We said.

" I want you to help me get rid of all of my "softer" emotions. I don't need anyone to take advantage of that." We were unsure for a moment then agreed to do it. Just like Vegeta asked us we helped him to gradually lose all emotion, except his darker emotions.

Later on that day…

Vegeta went to the nursery alone to see Kakarot once more. Planthor was happy to see that the young prince had interest. He let him in. He walked over to Kakarot. He had a mixed look on his face. He was sad but on the other hand he was happy. Then something the prince didn't expect happened. The infant Kakarot grabbed Vegeta by the arm and with his tail showed him the sign of friendship. Vegeta couldn't believe it. In the first time in his life someone as young as Kakarot showed him friendship. Vegeta smiled and in return he gave him the scar of friendship, which was an honor to receive it from the prince. It looked like the royal symbol. Little amounts of blood appeared and Vegeta wiped it off of Kakarot and outlined the same symbol on him self. Vegeta then quickly went outside when he saw Nappa and myself coming down the hall.

" You here again sire?" I asked. Vegeta didn't answer me. Then I noticed the scar on you little brother.

" So you gave it to him as well. I thought you…"

" Didn't care? Nonsense." He stated, " Well I got to get going. I will see you two later." I starred at you Kakarot when Nappa finally spoke.

" You remember when Vegeta said that he would lose us? Who did he say would kill me?" " I tell you this much, it is the person you least expect." I turned toward you brother.

" See you around little brother." I started to walk away.

Nappa remained there deep in thought. What I said was going over and over again in his mind. " The person I least expect? Could that person be VEGETA! NO, no it couldn't be. Well we will see."

" You coming or what?" I said, sounding a bit angry.

" YA, ya I'm coming you low level."

" What you say! Who are you calling a low level? I not! I am a first class warrior. If you're looking for the low level, go look in a mirror."

" Wait till I get my hands on you!"

" Just try it! I'll make you pay."

" You make me pay, HA! You couldn't hurt a fly."

" SHUT UP!" Vegeta yelled, " I can hear you two from over here. So, SHUT THE HELL UP!" Of course we continued our arguing. Vegeta shook his head, " They act like low levels to me." After awhile he turned around and face them and shouted, " Ok, I've had it. You want to know what? YOUR BOTH LOW LEVELS! Ok! That settle your augment?"

" Just like the prince to say something like that." I laughed. We all left.

A month later…

Prince Vegeta was now nine years old. He was aboard Frieza's ship. It so happens that earlier that day he made a gap in Frieza's door so he could spy on him. This is something he would live to regret. The day went on as any normal day would have gone, but this would be the day that Vegeta would change forever. Vegeta's father had come on board to " see" Frieza. Prince Vegeta walked down the hall way when he looked through the little crack, he saw his dad. A complete shock overcame him. Before he could stop his dad, they started to fight and Frieza killed him easily. After he took care of King Vegeta's men, he wiped Planet Vegeta out of existence. Young Vegeta saw the whole thing and he was screaming inside of himself. He ran as fast as he could to an abandoned section of the ship. He let out a mighty scream. He didn't realize it yet but he had just awaken his inner most power, the final form. When he opened his eyes, he saw the big crater he had left behind. He was so scared. He didn't know what to think. So he calmed down and went back to his room.

A few years later…

Vegeta, Nappa and I were all grown up. We were on another planet eating, limbs of the race we had just destroyed.

" Sire, I think it is time that I go find my brother."

" You sure about this Raditz. You know what will happen if you go there. You will die."

" Don't you worry about me. I accept this fate. It can't be helped." Vegeta stood up and said, " Raditz, come with me please." I followed Prince Vegeta away from Nappa.

" Raditz, I guess this is where we say goodbye, isn't it." Vegeta's eyes started to water up again. I smiled and cleaned off the tears and said, " Sire, it was an honor knowing you. Just promise me something, that you will not do anything as rash as I am going to do now. I know about your true power, however don't let my brother know just yet. It would be a broken promise to him if you used it now."

" Raditz, I never plain to use it."

" You are scared of the memories that transformation holds, aren't you?"

" I guess you can put it that way. Take care Raditz. I guess the next time we meet will be in Hell. Don't forget our promise."

" I would never forget that. Goodbye my friend." I said. I walked off without saying a word.

" Goodbye Raditz, my friend." Vegeta whispered. He started to walk back to Nappa.

Nappa was thinking about his end. " Someone who you least expect will kill you." My words repeated in his mind. Nappa was more sure now then ever, that Vegeta would be the one who kills him. The two of them had kinda drifted apart. You know what happened after that." Raditz concluded.

(End of flash back)

" Damn, What a tale. I never thought it was like that." Goku said.

" Ya, it's not a great thing but that's what happened. That's how Vegeta's great power surfaced. I think it would be a good idea if you try to achieve this level soon. In the Saiyan Tournament no one will go easy on you. Trust me I know."

" I sure will." Goku had no idea whom to ask to help him.

" Uh Raditz, do you think you could kinda… you know."

" Sorry little bro. Can't help you with this one."

" Then who do you think could help me with this?"

" I think that Cageta might be able to help you out."

" Oh I see. That sounds good. I just hope that she can."

" Trust me little brother, she can. Her power was just as painful if you know what I mean."

" Ya I think I do."

Then all of a sudden Vegeta came over. " Well Kakarot, I hope you haven't developed cold feet on me."

" Nope. I am still going to face you in the tournament."

" Well that's good to hear." Vegeta started to walk away then he said, " I just hope you can get some help before it's too late."

" I know I will." Vegeta knew that Goku didn't have a clue at the time

. " Oh no Kakarot, your going to have a harder time then you think if you are going to defeat me."
