Quote of the Week: -from Cowboy Bebop, "Call me Call me"
I close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls
Sunny liquid dreams
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me call me
Let me know everything's alright
Call me call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

Chuey's Corner:
Chuquita: (grins) Welcome to the first Part 7 EVER!
Goku: HOORAY! (tosses confetti in the air)
Vegeta: (said confetti falls onto his head) (sweatdrops) ...
Goku: (glomps Veggie tightly) Happy Part 7, Veggie!
Vegeta: (flushes bright red)
Chuquita: (motions to Q.O.T.W) As you can tell, Goku finally gets to hear Veggie's message in this chapter.
Goku: HOORAY!
Brolli: (snort)
Goku: (blows a raspberry at him) Ha!
Vegeta: (squeaks from being hugged)
Goku: (smiles) I luv u too, Veggie!
Brolli: (twitches, annoyed) (grumbles) I want to make Vejita squeak with joy.
Goku: Well you can't! Cuz only people who Veggie really luvs can make him do that, right Veggie?
Vegeta: I can't feel my limbs...
Goku: Oop! (gently sets Veggie back down in his chair, then sprays him with industrial-strength peasant-repel)
Vegeta: Thank you, Kakarrotto.
Goku: Hee- (pauses, looks at the bottle) Uh-oh, empty. (tilts his head and peers inside through the clear bottle)
Vegeta: WHAT! (nearly falls over)
Goku: Veggie's all out, poor Veggie. (frowns)
Vegeta: (starts to nervously twitch) (turns to Chu)
Chuquita: (sweatdrops) What?
Vegeta: How long do think that final spray will last me?
Chuquita: Probably the rest of the chapter.
Vegeta: Oh...we can get more though, right?
Chuquita: Of course! (blinks) Though I'm not exactly sure where...
Vegeta: (twitches again)
Goku: (wags his tail)
Chuquita: And now for the start of PART 7!...wow that REALLY feels awkward to say.

Summary: Oh Veggie, where are you? One night Vegeta mysteriously disappears, and Goku senses something is terribly wrong. While its thought that the ouji has may have gone out into space to purchase a Veggietine's Day gift for his favorite peasant, several of the group begin to have doubts, especially when they're unable to contact Vegeta at all. There's something disturbing about the ouji vanishing, and when Turles discovers Vegeta's been kidnapped; everyone fears for the worst. Who would possibly be powerful enough to kidnap someone as strong as Vegeta? And how will they find him even when his ki itself is undetectable by Kaio-sama? To what lengths would Goku go to get his Veggie back, and is he capable of breaking the rules to do so?

:" I'm back here again... " Veggy murmured as he stood there just outside his house. He was back in his pajamas

again only the shading on everything looked slightly distorted. The android stared at the ship, walking around beneath it. He

flew upwards until he was at eyelevel and gasped, " That shape...it's a Zorgonian ship, only its be drastically altered.

The sound I heard in my head came from its radar, all androids built on my homeplanet have radars built in so that the

ships can track us if need be. " he folded his arms in thought, then was suddenly hit with a second revelation and almost let

out a yelp, " THAT'S how he found Earth! It was my signal that led him here! IT'S MY FAULT VEGETA WAS KIDNAPPED! " Veggy

cried out in horror.

" Hmmhmmhmm, don't blame yourself, little Vejita-droid. It's not your fault. You didn't ask to have that radar put

into you and you had no idea anyone else still knew of your whereabouts or even thought to look for you. "

That voice:The man who attacked me. The one who hacked into my system: Veggy clenched his fists, then whipped

around, " ALRIGHT YOU- "

" -yes? "

Veggy nearly swallowed his tongue. He had been right, it was a man who attacked him. Not just a man, but a HUGE man,

one easily over 6 feet tall. He had dark green hair and a green tail with a slightly lighter shade wafting behind him. He

wore various strange gold jewelry around his arms, neck, and chest. Beyond that was a large red sash and a pair of baggy

white pants. His boots were golden, each with a blue gem on them identical to the one on the necklace. " Saiyajin. "

" Well, you've gotten that much. " he smirked in reply.

The android searched desperately for a name, an address, any location to link to the saiyajin before him aside from

the unusualness of his ship. By the wicked smirk on the saiyajin's face all Veggy could surmise was that he had most likely

stolen that ship. Stolen it probably because he'd found out about Veggy, about the radar signal, that he was on the same

planet as Vegeta; the huge saiyajin's intended target, " Well I know what you look like, your voice, and your ship. That's

good enough for me. " Veggy smirked, " For now anyway. "

The saiyajin continued to chuckle menacingly, then tilted his head to the side.:

" -CLICK- "

" -Sleep Mode Terminated- " a neon blue logo came up along with a dark background. Veggy opened his eyes to see he

was back in the guest room. He smiled, " I think I've got our suspect. "

" My cellphone. " Goku whispered in shock, staring it in his hands. He burst into a grin, " VEGGIE LEFT A MESSAGE ON

MY CELLPHONE! "

" What? " Chi-Chi whipped her head around to face him, " How do you know its from the Ouji? "

" It HAS to be from Veggie! It just HAS to! " Goku grinned excitedly as he continued to lock his eyes on the phone,

" Goggie and Ji-chan, how do I listen to my messages! " he demanded urgently.

" Hmm. " Vejitto took the phone from him, " Ooh, Toussan your battery is low. "

" Very low. And blinking! " Gogeta pointed to the screen, then whipped out a charger, " But I have the so-lution! "

he quickly plugged the phone into the charger and the charger into the wall socket.

" ▫BeeEEP▫! " the phone beeped with a "currently charging" message.

" There, now we can safely listen to Mommy's message without Toussan's cellphone randomly de-ciding to die on us! "

Vejitto said cheerfully, " Toussan come around here so you can see what to- " he looked to his left and sweatdropped to see

Goku already there and anxiously hopping up and down with excitement, " -do. "

" VeggieVeggie! "

Vejitto typed in 123 and then hit enter.

" Welcome! You have 1 new voice message. To play your messages, press 1, to- "

" ▫BEEP▫! " Goku snatched the phone and pressed 1. Vejitto blinked, not even have seen Goku take the phone out of

his hand. The portara fusion flexed his fingers in and out of a fist for a moment, testing them. He scratched the back of his

head in confusion.

" New voice message: February 13th at 3:34pm " the machine announced. Goku felt a dry lump in his throat. He

swallowed.

" Kakarrotto, "

Oh what a glorious sound! Goku clutched the phone tighter as if holding some precious treasure.

Vegeta's voice was calm and composed with just a small hint of fear in it, " listen to me. I did not abandon you

I've been captured by that twisted densetsu we thought we defeated. "

Goku froze in place, :Densetsu. Brolli. The Big Meanie? He's ALIVE: he said to himself in a stupor :And he's

got my VEGGIE:

" I'm being held here against my will but I promise I will escape and return to you as soon as I can. I want you to

contact Bulma and inform her that she needs to perform a scan on all four galaxies, I have no idea which one he's holding me

in or where my location is at all. I'm going to find out if this ship has any escape pods or not. I want you to contact me

again as soon as you get this message. I'll be placing my phone on vibrate so if it rings while I'm in the presence of the

"Big Meanie" he won't suspect anything. I just, want you to know that I would never leave you Kakarrotto and I miss you

sorely. I wish I'd set the date on my phone so I'd at least know how long I've been here or what today is. I'll see you soon

Kakarrotto, I promise. "

" End of New Messages. To delete this message, press 7, to record a new message, press 8, to return to the main

option menu, press 9. "

" ... "

Chi-Chi looked around the room. The fusions, with their saiyajin hearing, already had looks of pure shock and horror

written all over their faces, a stark contrast with Goku's numbed up body. Chi-Chi uneasily made her way towards Goku and

stood infront of him, " G-Goku-san? Was it the Ouji? What did he say, did he tell you where we can find him? " she said

cautiously.

Goku glanced down at her, then gently placed the little blue cellphone in her hands and walked towards the front

door.

She stared at the phone for a moment, then turned back to him when she saw Goku open the front door, " Hey! Goku-sa!

Where are you going! " Chi-Chi shouted, worried as she ran towards him. Goku stepped out of the house, then held his

fingers up to his forehead and teleported out of the city. Chi-Chi quickly sensed around for his ki; their home on Mount

Paozu. She breathed a small sigh of relief that Goku hadn't left the planet, then turned her attention back to the phone,

" What was on here? "

" My Mommy... " Vejitto said in a small, shocked voice, " My Mommy's in danger. "

Chi-Chi looked back and forth between Vejitto and the phone.

" T-Toussan can beat the Big Meanie, right Jitto? " Gogeta said, mustering as much optimism as he could at this

point.

" Chi-Chi we need to take that phone down to the lab so Bulma can analyze the message. Maybe it'll help us find out

where Brolli took Mommy. " Vejitto said, motioning the to lab door.

Chi-Chi let out a gasp, " BROLLI? "

" ▫Toss▫ ▫Toss▫ ▫Toss▫ " Goku continuously tossed pieces of clothing out of the clothes drawer in his room and onto

the floor behind him. He was down to his orange boxers; his gi carelessly draped across the side of his bed and each of his

boots chucked to a random part of the room. His cheeks were wet with fresh tears. The large saiyajin dug further through the

drawers and suddenly paused. He gently lifted the clothes out of the drawer and stood up, staring at them.

:" I'm sure there's something else you can wear, maybe you could wear your saiyajin armor Bulma made for you

a while back and go as my bodyguard! We had plenty of them back at on Bejito-sei. " the ouji thought up.

" YEAH! " Goku gushed, instantly lighting back up, " I wanna guard Veggie's body! ":

" ... " Goku smirked.

" BULMA! BULMA I'VE GOT IT! I found the file! I know what he looks like and what his voice sounds like! He's an

enormous saiyajin with green hair who pronounces Vegeta's name as if its in french! " Veggy exclaimed as he burst into the

lab.

" ...I promise. "

" ▫Click▫click▫click▫click▫ "

Veggy walked down the steps to see Bulma, the fusions, Raditsu, Turles, and Chi-Chi standing there huddled over one

of Bulma's audio machines. The fusions had hurt, worried looks on their faces while the others, who had just heard the

message for the first time, appeared horrified.

" Oh my God...Brolli. BROLLI kidnapped Vegeta? " Bulma said, her face gone deathly pale, " Brolli's supposed to be

DEAD! I saw Son-kun and Vegeta kill him! We all saw it! "

" But we were all teleported into the ship, none of us ever saw Brolli disintergrate, he just fell back towards the

planet's surface. " Chi-Chi said, her hands in fists, " I don't know how he survived that, but if there's anyone that's

strong enough to kidnap the Ouji without leaving a trace or any signs of a struggle... " she narrowed her eyes, " That

kusoTARE! He tried to MURDER my Goku-san! " Chi-Chi growled, " I HOPE YOU BREAK HIS SKULL, OUJI! " she shouted at the

ceiling.

" That barrier of his, that must've been how he escaped the final explosion the comet created. " Raditsu said

bitterly, " He escaped the same way from Bejito-sei. "

" ... " Turles stood there slumped over forward with his bangs over his eyes. An furious aura hovered over him. The

rest of the group shifted uneasily at the anger in his ki, " ERRRR...AND I GAVE THAT YARO DIRECTIONS TO A FANCY FURNITURE

STORE! "

" What? " Raditsu blinked, confused.

" Brolli contacted me this past September asking for directions on how to get to a place that sells "furniture fit

for royalty." Kuso! If I'd have known he tried to murder Kakarrotto and planned on using that "luxurious" furniture for

his intended VICTIM I'd have hung up right then and there! " Turles fumed, " I'm glad I gave him a hard time on the phone

then. "

" You KNEW Brolli was alive? " Bulma gasped.

" I heard you guys killed him, I only wish you'd have told me WHAT MONTH it was. Could've pieced this together a lot

easier. Maybe could've even prevented it from happening altogether. " Turles sulked, folding his arms, " Ah well, what's done

is done not to mention thanks to Brolli calling I have his ship's ID number. " he smirked. The smirk turned into a wicked

grin and he whipped out a flamethrower, " When we get aboard that ship you can destroy anything you desire but the furniture

is MINE! " he cocked the weapon and let loose a small fireball, which, thanks to the weapon being pointed upward, hovered

there over top of it.

" So, if you know Brolli's ship's ID, that means we can find him? " Chi-Chi smiled hopefully.

" Well it certainly increases our chances quite a bit. " Turles shut the flamethrower off, then frowned, " It'd help

if I actually knew what the ship looked like though. "

" I know! " Veggy said happily as he politely raised his hand. The android turned to face a blank wall and his a

backglow came from behind his eyes and projected a frame from his memory of Brolli's spaceship.

" You got a little smudge there. " Raditsu said, pointing to the tiny dot at the bottom of the frame.

" Oh, that's my house. " Veggy smiled.

" O.O " Raditsu's eyes nearly bugged out of his head, " Your HOUSE! THAT'S how big his spaceship is? "

" Mmm-hmm. " Veggy nodded, the frame nodding with him, " It looks like it was originally a Zorgonian spaceship, but

its got a LOT of modifications to it. You can barely tell with the exception of the hull...and the fact that he was able to

find his way here by using the ship's radar. "

" Radar? " Bulma lifted an eyebrow.

" Think of the ship a giant dragon radar and all the androids they've created over time as the dragon balls. It's

a similar situation. " Veggy frowned sadly, " I'm so sorry you guys, I'm the only reason Brolli was even able to FIND Earth.

It's my fault Vegeta's been kidnapped. "

" Ohhh, Veggy don't worry about it its not your fault. There was no way you could've known about Brolli. " Chi-Chi

patted him on the shoulder. The android sniffled and nodded.

" So? " Raditsu spoke up, " What do we do now? "

He marched slowly and steadly down the hall towards the gravity room, his whole body aching from the emotionally

exhausting pain of it all. Veggie had been kidnapped by BROLLI. And he'd been in that big meanie's clutches for well over a

month now. All alone. And scared. Goku knew the densetsu was one of the few people who genuinely frightened Vegeta. His left

ear throbbed and he reached for the handle.

" Hey Kakarroujo! " a voice said brightly from below him. Goku looked down and to his left to see Bura standing there

happily while holding a wrapped present in her arms, " I made you a special outfit for when Toussan gets back from wherever

he went to. " Bura said, holding it out to him.

Goku took the present and slowly unwrapped it.

Bura looked him over, uneasy, " Kakarroujo why are you wearing your saiyajin armor? And why are you unwrapping your

present all neatly like how Toussan unwraps it. You usually just RIP the paper right off! " she smiled at the mental image of

Goku wildly ripping the wrapping paper apart with an excited grin on his face.

" You haven't heard it yet. " Goku said quietly, his eyes starting to water up.

" Heard what? " Bura paused, " T-Toussan's oh-kay, right? He's coming home soon? "

Goku lifted the lid off the gift to expose a pink tanktop reading "Veggie's Oujo" in big white letters, " It's

pretty, Bura. " he handed it back to her, then smiled weakly, " But Veggie needs more than an Oujo right now. " he stepped

into the gravity room and closed the door behind him. Goku's eyes locked on the gravity machine across the room, " Veggie

needs a hero. "

Bura stood there staring at the large, sound-proof door to the gravity room. She backed up, worried, " Kaasan? " the

demi-saiyajin called out while still watching Goku through the glass window in the door, " KAASAN! "

" Kakarrotto.. " Vegeta mouthed quietly, tucked under the many sheets of his large bed.

:You're worried: Nango said, bewildered.

:He's up to something. Brolli. I can tell by the way he's been acting lately, his demeanor's shifted: the ouji

clutched onto a bundle of the sheets tightly, :It's something big. I can tell:

:He has been acting a little secretive lately now that I think about it...: Nango trailed off.

:What if he tries to take this little "otokohime" scheme of his to the next level. What IS the next level? Making

me sleep in his bed with him? I'd rather sleep with Kakarrotto for the rest of my days than spend a single minute in bed with

that mental case:

:I wish you'd sleep with Kakarrotto more often. Then I'd get to sleep with my Bibishii: Nango sighed at the female

tail's name.

The ouji's cheeks flushed red. He found the more "spare time" he had to himself, the more kaka-related thoughts

flooded his mind. Vegeta wasn't allowed to get it out through training, or get it out through cooking; and videogames were

only good for ridding himself of frustration over losing sparring matches against Goku; so the kaka-thoughts sat in his mind

like a large mushy pile of goo that he couldn't get rid of. It was like the goo was setting up its own nerve-center in his

brain, sending warm fuzzy feelings through his body whenever the topic came up. A terrifyingly intoxicating, snuggly feeling

that petrified Vegeta beyond belief. He felt that if Kakarrotto magically walked through that door right now he would let

the peasant hug him for hours on end. The ouji shuddered, :I feel sick:

:Aw, you're not sick, Vegeta. It's just a bad case of "home-sickness". Absence makes the heart grow fonder 'n

such: Nango said, trying to cheer him up.

:Homesickness. It's definately home-sickness, right? It-it couldn't possibly be any other type of sickness,

right: Vegeta asked nervously.

:The flu? .:

:...it's homesickness. That's all. I'm homesick: Vegeta said, this time to himself.

" Oh Vejita-chan? Are you awake? " Brolli called from the other side of the door.

" No I'm dead, now go away! " the ouji snapped, momentarily poking his head out from under the covers.

" Are you now? "

" EH? " Vegeta froze and glanced over to his right to see Brolli standing there next to the bed, smirking. The ouji

pulled his head back under the covers while keeping a small opening for his eyes to see out, " What do you want. " he said

bluntly.

" I'd like you to try something on for me. " Brolli smiled.

" And I'd like you to drop me off back home. " Vegeta snorted.

" ... "

" ... "

" If I try on whatever you have there will you drop me off home? "

" No. "

" ▫SNORT▫ " Veget huffed, frustrated. He pulled down the remainder of the sheets over his eyes.

" Please try it on, Vejita. I need to know if it needs any altering for the ceremony. " Brolli poked the lump under

the sheets lightly, " It'll only take a couple minutes I promise. "

" Is it pink? "

" ... " Brolli looked down at the garment, " Umm, parts of it. "

" No. "

" VEJITA! " the densetsu snapped, " ERRR...you've been like this ever since you landed that punch on me! You cause

me one little injury and instantly think you're the one in charge around here! "

Vegeta poked his head out, a lame expression on his face, " I am the one in charge, I'm your prince. "

" YOU'RE my otokohime and you should be acting like one. " Brolli narrowed his eyes at the ouji.

" Is that a challange? " Vegeta cocked an eyebrow, " A test of my physical strength, perhaps? "

" It's a warning. " the densetsu folded his arms, " Unless you start to behave properly, Vejita, serious measures

will have to be taken. Measures that I'm not too fond of myself. "

" ... " the little ouji shuddered under the covers, " May I..see this garment? "

Brolli held it up.

Vegeta's face turned blue, then pale green, " Whatever that is, NO. " and with that he yanked his head back under

the sheets.

" But VEJITA! This is your consummation gown. It has to fit just right! "

" No it doesn't, because I'm not wearing it. "

" If you don't wear it, when the time comes we won't be able to complete your otokohime ceremony! "

" Good, because I don't want one. "

" ... "

" ... "

Brolli sighed, " Oh well. Looks like I'll have to just put it away. "

" Looks like you will. "

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm. " Brolli hummed as he casually walked over to the closet, " ... "

" ... "

" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! " the densetsu made a running leap at the bed and tackled Vegeta while he was still under

the sheets. The ouji let out a painful yelp as they both hit the floor, " Will. You. Hold. Still! "

" NEVER! " Vegeta shouted defiantly. Brolli yanked the item over the Ouji's head and picked him up.

" Let's see now.. "

" AHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF IT BURNS! IT BURNS LIKE WHITE FIRE! "

" ▫Swish▫ " the clothing was instantly back off him.

" Hmm, five inches too long. Well, we can fix that! " Brolli said contently, dropping Vegeta onto the bed and leaving

the room with the outfit.

" ... " Vegeta lay there, staring blankly up at the ceiling. He pumped his fist upward into the air, " CURSE YOU! "

" ▫Tap▫tap▫tap▫ " Goku punched in the password keys on the machine, then hit "Guest".

" Welcome to the Gravity Room, guest. Please select your gravity level. " the machine announced.

Goku took a long whiff of the air. The little ouji's scent still hung throughout the room, but the air itself was

stale from having its door closed for such a long period of time, " Veggie. " Goku stared at the room longingly, begging to

wish that it wasn't true. That Brolli hadn't taken his Veggie away and that any minute now the small saiyajin was going to

teleport into the room and... " 600x! " Goku shouted to the computer, who paused for a moment. He burst into ssj2 and waited

for a reply.

" Initiating 600x Earth's Gravity. " the computer replied. The room suddenly grew enormously heavy and Goku felt a

huge weight placed upon his body. He went ssj3 and instantly the weight was released.

Goku panted slightly, " No wonder Veggie can only go up to 550. This is HARD. " he pouted, then made a determind

fist, " But I HAVE to keep going! I have to get stronger! There is no way I can beat the Big Meanie like this without Veggie

to help me. I will stop him and get you back little Veggie! I PROMISE! "

" We should tell him to get out of there. He's been in that gravity room for THREE HOURS now! " Chi-Chi said, worried

as she, the fusions, and Bura stared through the little window at Goku, who was still in ssj3 but sweating and panting now as

he trained and sparred with thin air, " It's not healthy! I can see if he wants to train to fight Brolli but he should do it

outside in the fresh air! Not in that little Ouji-room with its heavy gravity. It's not even his normal training

enviornment! "

" Wow, 620x Earth's Gravity. " Vejitto read in awe, " Toussan's training at 70x more gravity than Mommy does on a

good day. "

" WHAT! " Chi-Chi gasped.

" Ohhh, poor Kaasan. Training at too high a gravity can make upset your stomach or cause you to black out. " Gogeta

gulped, " If only Toussan was here... "

" Toussan will be here. He can beat that Brolli guy all by himself! " Bura said proudly, holding the gift she had

given Goku, " Afterall, he's the saiyajin no ouji! He can beat anybody! "

" You think so? " Gogeta looked down at her uneasily.

" Of course! It was Toussan's plan that saved the Earth and destroyed Kid Buu, and it was Toussan's interference that

distracted Cell just long enough to give Gohan the edge to destroy HIM. I have no doubt in my mind that Toussan will think up

some clever plot to defeat Brolli and drive that evil spaceship back home where he and Kakarroujo can live happily ever after

once more! " Bura beamed.

Vejitto just shook his head, still watching Goku, who had now gone up to 630x, " I dunno. I just don't know. "

" Kuso...just look at me! I'm losing so much muscle-mass due to that psycho now allowing me to train that it isn't

funny! " Vegeta grumbled in frustration as he stared at himself in the mirror. His body was starting to look and feel the

effects of him no longer training nearly the entire day. It unnerved Vegeta, " Any more of this and I'm going to start

looking like an uke. " the ouji spat.

:What do you suggest we do then: Nango asked, curious.

" I suggest we try to break into that gravity room again, but this time, " Vegeta whipped out a can of scented

aerosol spray, " we don't leave any scents behind. " he smirked.

Nango grinned.

" YAAH! YAAH! YAAH! " Vegeta sent a flurry of kicks into the air. The ssj2 ouji grinned pleasantly as he did a back

flip onto the wall and bounced off at the machine, " HAAAAAA! " he teleported out of the way just in time and reappeared

across the room. A warm purring sound emanated from him as he trained, " It feels even BETTER when you're getting back into

it! Like a delicious treat of some sort! " he had the gravity room set on 548x. Didn't want to go too heavy on the first

of many possible trips back inside to train. Vegeta flipped onto his stomach and leaned down onto the floor, " Alright Nango!

Push-up time! Spot me, eh? "

Nango happily saluted him and the ouji went to work.

Vegeta beamed, proud of himself. He'd successfully snuck into the gravity room without Brolli's notice. The window

on the door to the room and the wall window in the waiting area were both covered from the inside with black construction

paper so Brolli wouldn't see him if he happened to be casually walking by the room, " 890, 900, 901, 902, "

" 903. "

" ! " Vegeta froze in place. He turned to his right and gasped to see Brolli sitting there on the floor beside

him.

" Hey there, Vejita. " Brolli smirked, " I would've stopped you sooner but I so enjoy listening to you purr. "

The little ouji started to shake, then narrowed his eyes at the floor and lept to his feet, " You...I'll take you on

right now if I have to! "

" Vejita I don't want to fight you. " he frowned.

" WELL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO! JUST SIT AROUND AND ACCEPT THIS AS MY DESTINY! "

" ... "

" ... "

Vegeta cracked his knuckles, " I refuse to do that. I will defeat you and I will get back to Earth! "

" Vejita in the time it would take you to train and become even as strong as I am right now, centuries would pass by

on Earth. You'd have no one to go home to except a mentally ill Kakarrotto. " he cracked a smile.

Vegeta growled, " How dare you speak of Kakarrotto like that! I challange you to a battle right here and now! If I

can KO you then you take me home the instant you regain consiousness! "

" And if I win I get to have my way with you and you're not allowed to object. " Brolli chuckled, " No more of this

ridiculous longing for Kakarrotto. He's not worth your time anyway. "

" THAT'S NOT FAIR! You can't just take away my free will! " Vegeta snapped.

" That's not taking your free will, Vejita. It's merely encouraging you to comply with my wishes rather than your

deep and overwhelming desires to be with Kakarrotto who isn't even worthy to breathe the same air as you. " and with that he

burst into ssj, " Now come at me! "

The ouji glowered at him, then disappeared and reappeared behind Brolli who spun around only to land a blow to thin

air just as Vegeta's foot made contact with the back of his head. Brolli grabbed the ouji's leg as it was bouncing back off

his head and chucked him over his head and onto the ground. Vegeta twisted his ankle and spun out of Brolli's grip. He

started to rapidly dodge the larger saiyajin while landing after-images at each spot. Brolli paused, then glanced around at

the circle of Vegetas now standing around him.

" Heh. " he prepared to strike the one before him, then faked and landed his punch at the ouji next to him, hitting

the correct Vegeta and knocking him over while the others disappeared.

" Was it that obvious a trick? " Vegeta got up, rubbing his nose.

" Your scent is much stronger than that of your illusions, Vejita. "

" Hn. I see. " he dusted himself off, " Well then, how about this! SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE ATTACK! " the ouji shouted.

His cheeks puffed up and he spewed out 10 Veggie-ghosts.

Brolli gasped, " W-what are? "

" YAHH! " each of the ghosts struck its own defensive position.

" Aw, Vejita-chan how kawaii they are. Such a shame I'm going to have to kill them. "

The ghosts sweatdropped.

Brolli strolled up to the first Veggie-ghost, " Come here, you. " he grabbed it by the collar and instantly noticed

the ghost beginning to glow, " Nani? "

" Byebye! " Veggie-ghost number 1 waved, then blew up in Brolli's face and leaving several small burn-marks on his

upper body and face while his hair was now blown back straight in the position the ghost exploded in.

" ... "

" Hahahahaha! " the other Veggie-ghosts laughed.

Brolli blinked lamely, then shook his head rapidly to fix his hair. He turned to face the others, " Is that how it

works, eh? I touch you and you explode? "

" Pretty much. " Vegeta replied casually, :Arg! I thought that ghost would do more damage to him than a few tiny

scratches! .: he mentally pouted.

" Well, that makes things interesting. " Brolli said, then let out a large kiai. Vegeta did his best to keep from

being blown into the wall while the Veggie-ghosts, who were much lighter, slammed into the walls around them, bursting on

impact.

" ▫BOOM▫ ▫BOOM▫ ▫BOOM▫! "

Vegeta slowly moved his arms off his face and looked around, then sweatdropped at his now nonexistant army and the

marks they'd left on the walls.

" Oh Vejita, you're so creative and entertaining. " Brolli smiled, reaching out to take Vegeta's hand.

" HEY! I'm not done YET! " the ouji shouted, then sent a ki blast at Brolli's face. While Brolli knocked it away

Vegeta lundged for the aerosol can and snapped it at the wall, sending a huge rush of blue smoke along with the scent of

artificial blueberries to fill the air.

Brolli coughed and quickly snapped his head back and forth around the room. The smell was too overpowering and the

fog too thick to see or smell the ouji's movements, " Curse you! "

" Heh-heh-heh. " Vegeta smirked, hovering just two feet behind the densetsu. He burst into ssj3 and stuck his arms

outward, :BIG BANG ATTACK! .: he shouted in his head so Brolli couldn't hear and stop the attack. The blast let loose towards

the larger saiyajin. Brolli felt a rush of wind and turned around just intime to get hit. He tumbled to the ground in pain.

" Errr...uhhh... " Brolli groaned.

Vegeta rushed towards the door and yanked it open, " COMPUTER 10,000x EARTH'S GRAVITY! " he yelled at the machine,

then zipped out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.

" HUH? " Brolli's eyes bugged out of his head.

" -Initiating 10,000x Earth's Gravity.- " the computer announced.

" YARRRG! " Brolli let out a yelp as the heavy gravity slammed him into the floor as he fumed, " OOOOH, VEJITA! "

" Heh-heh-heh, haha, BWAHAHAHAHA! " Vegeta laughed loudly as he raced down the hall towards the control room,

practically giddy with excitement at what he'd just accomplished, " I'm winning I'm winning I'm WINNING! " he spun once on

one foot, then grinned viciously as he grabbed the handle to the control room and flung it open. He powered back down to ssj2

and locked the door, then pushed a chair up underneath the inside doorknob, " Gotta conserve my energy. I don't know how long

that'll last him. "

:Maybe you should've used a higher number? .: Nango asked.

" There is no number higher than 10,000 available on the gravity machine. At least on mine anyway. " the ouji

replied, " Ah its so nice to talk outloud knowing he can't hear me. " Vegeta smiled, then hopped into the main controller's

seat, " Now let's see.. " his eyes roamed the control panel and stopped on a fairly large microphone-like device. He lightly

tapped it, " Hello? "

" -Hello- " the computer responded.

" Hn, I guess this thing is voice-activated as well. " the little ouji pondered, then turned to the screen,

" Display current position. " he said into the mic.

The main screen changed to show a large radar of the ship and a reading of the names of nearby planets and stars.

Vegeta read through the listings and let out a gasp, " AHH! WE'RE AT THE OUTER EDGE OF THE EAST GALAXY! " the ouji paled,

" This must be one powerful ship, it would take the Capsule 3 possibly decades to get from here to Earth. " Vegeta murmured,

then regained his cool, " Alright computer! It's time for a change of scenery! Plot an EMERGANCY COURSE for the North

Galaxy, coordinates 1802-4459-37eigh- "

" ▫POW▫! " the door exploded behind him.

" -ty nine? " the ouji squeaked out.

" RRRRRRrrrr... "

Vegeta slowly turned around and let out a yelp when he saw the figure in the doorway. Brolli was standing there in

lssj form growling at him, random small bruises covering the densetsu's chest, arms, and back. There was a large bruise in

the middle of his chest from where Vegeta had launched his big bang, " Ah... " the smaller saiyajin began to sweat, then

smiled cheesily at him, " Hi? "

Chi-Chi looked at her watch, " 5:00pm and he's STILL training in there! "

" Toussan's just really worried about Mommy, that's all. " Vejitto said from the kitchen where he and Gogeta sat.

" Maybe we should go train WITH Kaasan. I feel guilty just sitting around out here. " Gogeta pouted.

" Hey anyone seen Bulma? " Raditsu glanced about the living room.

" OOOH! THAT'S IT! I'm going to put a stop to that training-under-even-more-intense-gravity-than-the-Ouji-does right

now! " Chi-Chi got up and stormed down the hall. The three saiyajin watched her cautiously from the living room and kitchen.

Chi-Chi banged her fist against the door, " GOKU-SAN! YOU SHUT THAT THING OFF RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR I'LL COME IN THERE AND

SHUT IT OFF FOR- " she paused, staring in through the window. Goku's body was throbbing now at 700x. He'd grown tired and

fallen back into ssj2 and was now repeatedly punching the air. Sweat ran down his face and he felt a strange dehydration,

" Ahh...ah... " Chi-Chi nervously glanced around, then noticed a large red button the size of her head labeled

"Emergancy Shutdown" next to the door, " And I missed seeing that, how? " she sweatdropped, then hit the button with her

entire hand. The gravity rooms insides immediately turned red and the machine powering it shut down. The lights faded as

Goku launched one more punch, then flopped onto the ground, hitting his side, " WAHHHHHHHH! " Chi-Chi cried out, then grabbed

the door and ran inside, " GOKU-SAN! "

" Uhhh...uhh... " Goku groaned.

" Ohhh! I should've stopped you sooner what were you THINKING 700 times Earth's Gravity! " she said her voice a

mixture of anger and hurt.

" Veggie. " Goku mumbled, sitting up on his knees.

:He can still get up after that? .: Chi-Chi blinked, stupified. She shook it off, " ERRR, you should KNOW better than

this, Goku-san! Aren't YOU the one who told the Ouji "there's a point where stressing your body more is just torture, not

training"! " Chi-Chi stomped her foot on the ground, " WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW YOU'RE TORTURING YOURSELF! "

Goku panted heavily, staring at the floor tiles. His vision blurred in and out.

" You were in here for almost 6 hours! Are you even aware of that? " she choked out.

" ▫Hip▫ ▫hip▫ " Goku hiccuped.

" Goku-sa? " Chi-Chi said more softly now.

" Chi-chan...I don't think I could beat him if I don't have my Veggie to help me. " he said, his voice lost and dry

from the intense training without even a break for water or food.

Chi-Chi sat down beside him, " Oh Goku-san that's not true. You've beaten plenty of bad guys without the Ouji's help.

Like Piccolo's father, and the Red Ribbon Army, and Pilawell that's not really something to be too proud of he was fairly

easy- but you beat those two, and, and your brother. "

" Hey. " Raditsu waved to him from the doorway.

" But I died fighting niichan. " Goku sniffled.

Chi-Chi sweatdropped, " Oh yeah. " she paused for a moment, then perked up again, " OH! I know! Nappa! You beat

Nappa without the Ouji's help. "

Goku nodded in agreement.

" Listen, I understand you want to get stronger in order to fight Brolli, but you need to do it in moderation. If you

train like the Ouji, you're going to lose like the Ouji. Train the way you're used to training and don't worry about not

being strong enough to fight him. " Chi-Chi said, concerned as she put her hands on his shoulders, then smiled, " Besides!

You'll have you're own private little army to back you up! Bulma's going to contact the rest of the Z senshi and hold a

meeting to find out who's coming with us. " she got up, " You have lots of people who will fight for you, Son Goku. You won't

have to battle alone. "

Goku smiled back at her.

" Good. It's all settled then. " Chi-Chi said happily, then left the room, " Raditsu will you watch your brother for

me for a couple hours? I have an important errand to run. "

" Umm, oh-kay. " Raditsu said, surprised.

" Thanks! You're a lifesaver! " she waved to him, then took out her keys and dashed out of the building and to her

car.

Raditsu watched her drive off, then glanced back in Goku's direction to see the younger saiyajin had now pulled out

a small Vegeta plushie was soothingly rubbing it as if the plushie has gotten hurt, " Urm, yeah... "

" Hahaha! What a genius I am! " Bulma cheerfully boasted to herself as she put a screw in place.

" What are you doing? " Veggy popped up from behind her.

" Oh, just inventing a little something to help us out during the battle. " Bulma smirked.

" Can I help you with anything? " he asked.

" Hm? Oh no, I'm alright. "

The android frowned, " I just wish there was something I could do to help out. I was programmed to imitate Vegeta's

powers at the time I was created, but I'm not much of a warrior myself. Even so my power can't really increase unless I was

upgraded somehow so there's no real point in me training other than honing my eye-hand coordination. " he sighed, " I'm the

one who Brolli used to find this planet, I should at least help you SOMEHOW in getting Vegeta back! "

" You will. " Bulma said while keeping her eyes glued to the item she was putting together, " It wasn't your fault so

don't worry about it. "

" I suppose. " Veggy folded his arms, " ...I think I'm going to go for a walk. "

" Good idea. That'll take your mind off things for a while! " she said, " Just don't wander off to far into the lab

or I'll have to send a search team out to find you! "

" Uh... " Veggy paled.

" That's a joke, it's fine, really. Go ahead. " Bulma sweatdropped, embarassed.

Veggy scratched his head, then walked off.

" HooooooYAH! HIYA! HUH HUH HUH! " Veggy practiced fighting stances beside Turles's ship.

Turles glanced out the window at the android and chuckled for a moment, then went back to running Brolli's ship's ID

number through the interplanetary directory. He had found record of over 4 dozen purchases, most of them on luxury items,

expensive furniture and drapery, exotic foods, and advanced technological equipmentmost of it security-related. Certain

pieces of clothing that were purchased in what was no-doubt Vegeta's size un-nerved the evil type-3 saiyajin along with the

purchase of a Double King-sized bed from "Beds 'r Us". Unfortunately Brolli's purchases had ended around October, a good

three months before he kidnapped Vegeta; and since there were no purchases made afterwards, there was no way of tracking

him down. Turles took another cookie out of the nearby jar and sat back in his captain's chair, contemplating other ways to

find the ship.

" HaaaaaaAAAAAAH! " Veggy burst into ssj1, then pulled out stopwatch he was timing himself with, " Hn.. "

" Hello there! "

" Need some help? "

The android blinked, then looked down to see two Vegeta kamikaze ghosts hovering infront of him, " Oh, hello. " he

said politely, " Who are you? "

" We're kamikaze ghosts! I'm 1 and he's 2! " the ghost on the left introduced themselves.

" We live here! " Veggie-ghost number 2 chirped.

" My name's Veggy, I'm an android and I also, recently, live here. " Veggy looked around for a moment.

" You must be new. "

" Never seen you before. "

" I am new, sort of. " Veggy said, then reached out his hand, " Pleased to meet you- "

" ! " the ghosts froze in place and slapped their hands against their sides.

" Uh... " Veggy blinked, his hand still extended outward, " Something, wrong? "

" We can't really touch you. Or at least very hard. " Veggie-ghost 1 laughed nervously.

" If we do we'll explode. " Veggie-ghost 2 added.

" OH! " Veggy gasped, pulling his hand away, " I'm sorry, I didn't know. "

" Not your fault! " Veggie-ghost 2 smiled, " Besides we're going for a record. "

" A, record? "

" Yup! 1 and I are the two oldest living kamikaze ghosts created! "

Veggie-ghost 1 nodded, " We'll be 2 in June! "

" How nice! Happy early birthday to you both then. " Veggy whipped out two small cupcakes, each with a candle ontop,

" This won't, make you explode, right? "

" Vegeta made us extra-tough, so we'll only explode if we're hit really hard. " Veggie-ghost 1 explained and they

each took a cupcake, then opened their mouths and swallowed the objects whole. Veggy watched as the semi-transparent ghosts

cupcakes thunked down into their stomachs, still whole and lighted; making them appear as small living lightbulbs.

" Mmmm-MMM! Delicious! "

" ... " Veggy sweatdropped, " Umm, are there, any more of you around here? "

" Of us? Nope. " Veggie-ghost 1 replied.

" But there is someone kinda like you! " Veggie-ghost 2 grinned.

Veggy blinked, " Like, me? "

" ...it's a wall. "

" Ah, but not just ANY wall. This is where V.2 is stored! " Veggie-ghost 1 said happily, " He's Vegeta's modified

clone! "

" We'd have opened his case a while ago but the buttons are too hard for us. " 2 added.

" A clone? " Veggy murmured, surprised.

" Yup! But Vegeta didn't make him, Bulma did. " 1 said, " He was made more recently than you so he's even closer

to Vegeta in strength. "

" And that means he can help us rescue Vegeta from Brolli! " Veggy grinned, " Oh THANK YOU 1 AND 2! This is great! "

" Res..cue? " 1 blinked.

Veggy pressed the button on the wall, then watched as a section slowly expanded out and turned around to reveal a

foggy liquid-filled tube with a vaguely visible figure inside, " Wow... " the android said in awe. He tapped the sides of

the glass, " Hmm, pretty thick. But nothing I can't handle! " he grinned, then tapped his fingers. A glass-cutter came out

of the tip of his pointer finger and Veggy poked it into the wall, then made a large oval around the figure and pulled his

finger back out. The glass fell onto the floor and liquid spewed out, along with the clone who came down with a heavy thunk.

" ... " Veggy and the Veggie-ghosts blinked.

2 poked V.2's unconsious, naked arm, " Oh my. "

" He's not, dead, is he? " Veggy gasped in horror.

" He's alive! Just sleeping. "

V.2 suddenly made several loud hacking noises, his body trembling from the change in atmosphere. The cloned saiyajin

sat up and coughed, " Uhh, where am I? " he rubbed the side of his head.

" Well, you're not in that tube anymore, that's for sure! " 1 chirped.

V.2 stared in shock at the kamikaze ghost. He looked up at the other ghost along with the person who looked exactly

like Vegeta save for the long knife sticking out of the pointer finger of his right hand.

" Hi there! My name's Veggy and I'm an android. This is 1 and 2, they're kamikaze ghosts created by Vegeta. How would

you like to help us on a rescue mission? " Veggy said cheerfully, reaching out to help V.2 up.

" Will...it get me out of this lab? "

" Yup! "

V.2 shook his hand and stood up, " You got a deal! "

" Hmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmhmhmmhmmhmm, hmmhmmhmm hmmhmhmm, nanananana nananan na! " Turles hummed as he left

the lab, and his ship, and walked down the hallway into the kitchen, " Well, the ship's performing an automated check now so

I think I'm going to take a snack. " he announced to Goku and Raditsu as he entered the kitchen. Goku was sitting in Vegeta's

seat at the kitchen table while Raditsu leaned against the wall, " Seme, " he nodded to Goku.

" ▫Sniffle▫... "

" Lackey. " he smirked at Radistu.

" I'm not you're lackey. " Raditsu muttered, annoyed.

" OH! Kakarrotto did I show you? While I was performing my various searches for Brolli's ship, I came across the

most delightful thing on the internet. Check it out! "

Raditsu wandered over to them and glanced over Turles' head, " It's a newspaper from three years ago... " he

got a good look at the cover and paled, " Is, that Vegeta on Kakarrotto's lap wearing only an odd-looking pair of briefs? "

" YUP! " Turles beamed, " And there's a rather intreguing interview with Kakarrotto inside it as well! "

Raditsu glanced over at Goku with a please-tell-me-there's-a-logical-explaination-for-all-this look on his face.

" Veggie had a brief stint modeling underwear for some company in france. " Goku explained cheerfully.

" Heh-heh, "brief". " Turles chuckled, then let out a depressed sigh, " I can't believe I actually MISSED such an

entertaining situation! "

" Actually Veggie was a little embarassed a-bout the whole thing. " Goku nodded.

Turles smirked wickedly, " I can't wait to question Vegeta-san about this as soon as we get him back. You know if I

ever get a chance to use that time machine purely for entertainment purposes, this is the date I wanna travel to. "

" I don't think that would be such a good idea. " Raditsu sweatdropped.

" Aw, I bet you'd enjoy it. Afterall you yourself wore briefs for quite a long while. " Turles teased.

" That's only because I was forced to and Freeza had a shortage of boxers in XL sizes. " Raditsu twitched,

embarassed. He paused for a moment, " And where did you get the actual magazine anyway? "

" Oh, my magical type-3 saiyajin powers 'n such. " Turles brushed it off, still smirking, " I think I'm going to

make a sandwich, sit back, and read this nice long interview Kakarrotto gave about Vegeta-san. " he wandered off to the

fridge, magazine still in hand.

Raditsu slapped his hand onto his forehead and sat down on a side-chair, " And, you let yourself be interviewed for

a magazine like that because...?

" I was bribed with candy! And chocolate! " Goku thought outloud, remembering. He grinned, " Yeah, there was lots of

chocolate... "

Raditsu sweatdropped.

" Hello? " Gyu-Mao opened the front door, then smiled, " Ah, Chi-Chi! "

" Hi dad. " she waved, coming inside.

" So, to what do I owe the pleasant surprise? I haven't seen you or Goku in a while, and the villagers were starting

to wonder what happened to you. " he said friendily as they sat down in the living room.

Chi-Chi sighed, " Well you see dad, I have this problem; or rather, Goku-san has this problem; and I need some of the

toughest armor you have because I'll be going with him. I might need a sword as well. " she looked around the room.

" A sword? " Gyu-Mao said, surprised. He grinned, " Well sure, anything you want Chi-Chi. I'll try to help you out as

best I can. "

" Thanks. " she smiled back.

" ... "

" ... "

" So, " he said, more seriously, " What kind of bad guy are we talking about? "

" One who the last time we met used a ssj2 Goku-san's back as a trampoline. "

Gyu-Mao turned a pale blue, " Uh... "

" His name's Brolli Denkiteki, and he's the real "legendary super saiyajin". He kidnapped the Ouji about two months

ago and we just found out now. Not having the Ouji around, however pleasant it sounds in theory, is making Goku-sa rather

mentally and emotionally unhealthy. And so, even though I dislike the Ouji I'm going to help get him back safe and sound so

we can save Goku-san's sanity. "

" That's a lot of s's. "

" ... " Chi-Chi sweatdropped.

" Just trying to lighten the mood a little, sweetie, that's all. " Gyu-Mao laughed nervously.

" So anyway, can you do it? "

" When do you need it by? "

" A week? "

Gyu-Mao smirked, " Chi-Chi, you misunderestimate your own village. We can have it done for you in 3 days. "

" Really? " she beamed, then gave his arm a hug, " Thanks dad! "

" I don't know HOW drag me into these things. " Bardock sighed as he, Bejito, Ruby, and Celipa all headed up the

large staircase.

" Hey, you want to help my only child escape from the threat of impending ukedom, don't you! " Bejito said proudly.

" Still you didn't need to knock those two Oni out to do it. " Celipa sweatdropped, " I mean they did offer to tell

us the way out of hfil if we raced them. "

" I don't have time to race when my son's life is in danger! " Bejito snorted.

" And how do you expect us to slip past Enma once we get to the end of the hallway? The Oni said this passageway

leads to a drawer in his desk. " Ruby spoke up.

" Heh-heh, " Bejito smirked in a Veggie-ish way, " Simple my dear Ruby-chan. "

" You know, just when I thought the bizarrity ended there... " Bardock sweatdropped, wearing a giant pencil costume.

Celipa, wearing an equally large eraser uniform, sweatdropped as well.

" It is important to blend into your surroundings whenever necessary. " Bejito said wisely, dressed up as a pair of

scissors. Ruby was a notebook.

" Sometimes I worry about you, Bejito... " the ouho raised an eyebrow as they sat there in the drawer.

" Shh! " Bejito made a shhing noise, " I think he's about to open the drawer. Everyone brace yourselves! "

" ▫Creak▫ " Enma opened his drawer and plucked Bardock out. The other three saiyajin gasped.

" BARUmmph! " Celipa stared out only to have Ruby nervously slap her hand over her mouth.

" Hm? Oh wait, that's right, I need a pen to sign this. " Enma grumbled, placing Bardock back and taking out a black

pen.

Bardock gasped and wheezed for air, then caught his breath and sent a death-glare at Bejito, who only smiled cheesily

back at him.

The four saiyajin hopped out of the drawer and quietly flew down behind Enma and his desk, then snuck over to the

open door that led to snake way. They disguarded their costumes as they headed towards the door.

Celipa glanced at the guard, then walked up to him and tilted her head, " Hey, I think he's asleep. " she motioned to

the nose-bubble and the fact that the guard had his body propped up to one side, " Heehee- " Celipa popped the bubble.

Bardock, Bejito, and Ruby froze, " Hey don't worry! Everything's fine now let's go! " she said, heading out the doorway.

" Perhaps I should KO him just in case. " Bejito pondered.

" I really don't think that's necessary. " Bardock replied.

" Fine. " the ou groaned, disappointed as he and the others left out onto snake way. He smirked and cracked his

knuckles, " So, which Kai do you think should get a visit from the Great and Powerful Saiyajin no Ou today? "

" I would say the North one because he's the Kai who's friends with Kakarrotto and Vegeta, but with the level of

action-hero you've been at today... " Ruby trailed off.

" The North Kai it is! " Bejito pumped his fist in the air, " Come my Ouho and fellow subjects! AWAY! " and with that

he blasted off into the sky.

" Uhhhhhh... " Vegeta groaned, his eyes flickering open. The first thing he felt was a sore pain around his wrists

and ankles. The second thing he felt was a draft. Vegeta looked around the dark, dank, dungeony-looking room, then down at

himself. He shut his eyes tight, " Ohhh, this is not going to end well. "

" ▫SIGH▫ " Brolli sighed, depressed as he sat across the room on a bench with an object in his hands.

" GAH! YOU'RE HERE! You know if you were going to kill me I'd rather die in BATTLE than STRAPPED NAKED TO A WALL! "

" Be quiet Vejita I'm trying to think. " Brolli said sadly.

" ! " Vegeta blinked, " HOW CAN I BE QUIET LOOK AT ME! WHERE ARE WE! "

" My dungeon. "

" You have your own dungeon now. " the ouji muttered.

" Mmm-hmm. " Brolli replied, still sounding disinterested and disconnected.

" ... "

" ... "

" Why am I naked? "

The densetsu sighed, still staring at the object, " Why do you have to make me do these things, Vejita. Why couldn't

you have just given me a chance. "

" Uh... " Vegeta sweatdropped, uneasy.

" I don't want to. I really don't want to, but you keep driving me further and further into a corner and I hate to

make such a decision but you leave me with no choice. "

" Umm, you know what, how about you unlatch me from this wall, give me my pants back, and we'll talk, eh? " Vegeta

laughed nervously.

" That won't work anymore Vejita. I tried that. I've BEEN trying that. All you seem to care about is KAKARROTTO. " he

snorted, upset.

" ...you know what, screw the pants. Just unlatch me and I'll walk out of the room and you can have your quiet time

to think things over, alright? "

" If I let you go you'll just run right back to the control room again and try to fly it back to Earth. "

" ...you know me well. "

" Heh. " Brolli chuckled.

Vegeta tilted his head slightly, " So, if I'm latched here because you don't want me to run away, the reason for my

clothelessness would be... "

" Simply for intimidation purposes. You upset me and I wanted to scare you a little. I'm not going to DO anything to

you, Vejita, if that's what you're worried about. " he snickered.

The ouji let out a small sigh of relief.

" At least, not physically. " Brolli got up.

Vegeta stared to pale and suddenly wished he were anywhere but here. Home, the kitchen, his bed, even Kakarrotto's

bed would do! Brolli whipped out the object in his hands. It was a headpiece identical to his own. The ouji blinked,

" You're...crowning me? "

" No. " he whispered back, then looked up at the ouji, " I wish you would've just cooperated, Vejita. I don't want

to do this! "

" Then don't! You don't have to! No one's forcing you to do anything. " Vegeta panicked. The look of that crown made

him uneasy for some strange reason, " Listen, just put whatever that device is down and I'll talk you through this. You're

obviously very VERY lonely and if you let me go, I'll help you make some friends, or something like that. "

" Everytime someone tried to make friends with me, Toussan would lead them off somewhere and I'd wake up the next

morning to find they were dead. Drowned or strangled or something even worse. "

Vegeta stared at him.

" He wouldn't let me say anything at all when I got older because he was afraid I'd meet someone and have a child of

my own and we'd all rebel against him. " Brolli's tail swooshed sadly behind him, " But I never met anyone like that. Such a

paranoid, delusional mind Toussan had... "

" And now you are free. But I can't do any of that for you so it would be more in your best interest to simply let

me go and find someone else to spoil rotten with this lavish wealth you seem to have accumulated. Hm? " Vegeta smiled back at

him, weakly.

" But that's just what Toussan thought. " the densetsu smirked, " I happen to have different plans, however. Plans

that involve you, Vejita-chan. "

" They don't HAVE to. "

" Yes they do. I've been dreaming about having all this, and having you here with me for as long as I can remember!

And now that you're here I'm not letting you trick me into giving that up. " he held the headpiece up to the little ouji's

forehead, " Now hold still, Vejita. This may sting a little. "

" NO WAY! " Vegeta spat, then started wildly jerking his head away to avoid to the object, " EH EH EH EH EH MMPH? "

Brolli slapped his left hand over Vegeta's mouth and held his head inplace against the wall. Nervous sweat dripped

down Vegeta's face as he stared at the densetsu with terrified eyes, " Now now, my little otokohime. You just lay there and

relax and let all those terrible Kakarrotto-related thoughts just fade away. " he slipped the device on directly over the

ouji's widow's peak, " Don't give that mush-brained crybaby another thought. " Brolli removed his hand from off of Vegeta's

mouth. Vegeta felt the images infront of him distort and vibrate. Everything started to blur and the colors began to fade.

The ouji's breathing became much more rapid and his brain felt like it was about to implode. A cold sweat broke out all over

his body and he suddenly felt like he was being pulled somewhere even darker than the dungeon, " Errrr...AAARGH! " Vegeta

groaned.

" Heh, there's no use in fighting this battle either, Vejita. You can't win. " Brolli snickered.

Vegeta glowered at the huge blurry gray blob before him. He smirked, " KAKARROTTO! " the ouji cried out.

The densetu snarled and was about to snap at him just as Vegeta lost consiousness, " ... "

" ... "

" You just have to get the last word in, don't you Vejita. " Brolli said, then smirked, " Well, no matter. Even if

Kakarrotto ever manages to find you now, he'll never be able to truely find you again. " he said, then unlatched the ouji and

picked him up under his arm, " Now let's go get some clothes on you before you catch cold, hmm? "

And with that he walked out of the room.


12:33 AM 3/8/2005
END OF PART SEVEN

Chuquita: And so, we continue!

Vegeta: (sweatdrops) MORE cliffhangers!

Chuquita: (to Veggie) Yup! Though those who've seen the doodles on da probably have a vague idea.

Vegeta: Gettin closer and closer to that climax, are we?

Chuquita: (grins) Hee- I can't believe how many ideas I've collected for this fic! I'm especially happy with this chapter

cuz I got to do a few "different" things.

Vegeta: I noticed.

Chuquita: Like having Veggy go on that mini-adventure, and then yours and Goku's parents with their plan to inform Goku of

your location...

Goku: (happily) It feels like we're all moving a lil bit faster.

Chuquita: That we are! At least, I think we are.

Vegeta: (confused) We've got to be getting closer to the big super-battle by now.

Chuquita: Oh we'll get there, Veggie. Don't worry.

Vegeta: Well I am worried now that that thing's been put on my head. And then there's all this Level 3 stuff. You never

should've mentioned such things on the im!

Chuquita: (twiddles thumbs) I was happy that I'd thought up three alternate climaxs and I wanted to tell at least somebody

about it...

Vegeta: (sighs)

Chuquita: (happily) And now onto the reviewer-replies!

To GogetaJr: Glad you like the long story then:) Hai, I know. Some of the replies were delayed in getting to me cuz of

the site. But that's oh-kay, as long as the site's online. Veggie's dream was fun. I like how the way everyone acts in his

dreams make it so obvious that that's what they are. Aw, it's oh-kay, not your fault.

To RyukoVulpix: One of the reviewers (Tea) gave me a link to a properly-translated version of this song. That line translated

there was "But whenever I look at you, I feel like a fool", which could still indicate that it was Bulma Veggie's singing

about..until you go down a few verses to "Why do we train in this art? Why do we battle so passionately?". The entire

paragraph that starts off with those lines give off a super-creepy "I'm singing mushy songs about Kakarrotto" vibration.

I'd give you the whole paragraph now, but I'm using it as the next chapter's Q.O.T.W. There is however a link to the page I

found the translation at on the most recent page of this fic's reviews. Another line I found eerie in Veggie's mushy song

was "For the sake of love, for the sake of dreams I would even throw away my rank". Veggie throwing away his pride/oujidom

for love kinda freaks me out. Veggie did try his very best to beat Brolli, but now he's got something completely different

to battle against thanks to that head device. Happy you like Turles! Yup, he checked it this chapter! Aw, I like my cellphone

(pats her little blue cellphone) its desktop is a screenshot of a doujinshi of Goku and Veggie that I colored in on psp8:)

I can't begin to imagine what people thought of Veggie's mushy luv song (I'm using "luv" now because there's numerous

this-song-is-about-Kakarrotto overtones in it) but I'd think it must've shocked quite a few people :D

To tea: So glad you liked it! Yup, Veggie misses his training badly. Glad you liked them. Yup! Goku checked his cellphone

and now he's going to do something about it. Wow, that is a very mushy song, especially for Veggie to be singing.

To GokuGirl: The cooking song always makes me laugh :) I've read the lyrics to Gohan and Chi-Chi's kareoke duet, but I've

never heard the actual song before. It's kinda funny to imagine them standing on the kitchen table, singing. The chibi Gohan

songs are fun. Glad you like the fic! Oh?...(sweatdrops, shifts around uneasily).

Vegeta: (also shifts uneasily)

Goku: (blinks, unfazed) (wags his tail) She's got my name in her name too:)

Brolli: (sighs) You're so oblivious to your surroundings, Kakarrotto.

Goku: (glares at him) I am not!

To Cathowl: Happy you liked it! Aw, don't worry. Wow, that was a Short review special. (sweatdrops) Poor Scott..

To Wolfcrysta: Aw, you're not annoying. :) It's oh-kay if its late, I don't mind. Heh, videogames are so much fun. I've

never heard of that game before. My favorite Budoukai-ish game's got to be Super Smash Bros. I wonder if my N64 still works?

Yup! The company that my cellphone comes from is called T-Mobile, however. I forget when I got my cellphone, but it has been

recently. I had two others before it, but the first one just got old, and the 2nd one broke, so now I have this one! (holds

up little blue cellphone) They're not bad, this one guy keeps calling my phone asking for the wrong number though, and they

do it two times every day so I just shut my phone off. Heh, Goku was practically unrestrainable as a chibi if you ever see

the clips of Gohan Sr trying to take care of him before he got his head injury. He attacked Gohan, broke things, and he

wouldn't wear his diapers at all. Heh, interesting. Have you ever seen the episode where Squidward quits his job, then ends

up staying at Spongebob's but doesn't leave after being spoiled and at one point Spongebob comes out in what looks creepily

like a one-sided version of the servant-maid outfit? Level 3 is the third of three possible different versions of the same

climax in the last chapter. Level 1 has Goku and Veggie staring at each other, Level 2 was Goku and Veggie giving each other

a hug, and Level 3 was a non-platonic smooch and admittance of things. The whole message came through. :)

To Kahlan Nightwing: It didn't. The fusions plugged it in so the phone could charge. Two out of three of those things have

happened so far. :) That final question will be revealed hopefully in the next chapter.

To PiccoloDiamao1020: It's oh-kay. :) Hai, the chapters are more interesing when something big happens in them. This one

had the start of a few future plot-points.

To tea: Thank you so much for the link:D Heh, my own translation was so bad compaired to the real one. (sweatdrops) But

wow, some of those lines in Veggie's luv song are shocking, especially when you can tell its definately Goku that Veggie is

singing about.

To Vegeta Prince of Pineapples: Don't worry, he answered it in this chapter. :)

To Jenna & Vash: Cool screensaver. I've never heard of that kind before. Ah, so he's Inuyasha's father! Goodluck on your fic.

It's helpful if you have a snack while typing late at night, it keeps you from getting too sleepy. :) Lol, a carrot. That was

a fun clip.

To hieilover123: Ah, Waluigi. I think I played him once in Mario Tennis. (nods). Yup, that's how Brolli acted in the 2nd

movie. Movie 8 was the first one I saw with him in it (and the first subbed dbz movie I ever saw) so I was disappointed at

how they forgot by Movie 10 that Brolli's intelligent and has a much larger vocabulary than just saying "Kakarrotto" over and

over. Heh, that's cuz its Veggie's dream. Everything's greatly exaggerated in Veggie's dream-sequences because of his

over-active imagination. If Brolli just took Veggie back to earth there would be no super-big battle. Don't worry though cuz

Brolli will be alright. Goku will feel better soon as well. :) Thanks!

To Kat-YaOi MaNiAc: Yup! He finally finds out in this chapter. I luv March:D Heh, yesterday we had a high of 70'F (and

sunny) and today its 24'F and pouring rain, winds, and snow. (sweatdrops) At least there's only two more weeks til Spring!

This is the third time we've had snow, then it warms up, and then just as the snow is almost gone a brand-new snowstorm

comes in and covers everything again. (sighs) Oh well. :)

To Ouji-Chan: Ouji-chan:) Heh, it feels like it's been forever. Welcome back! I'm so sorry you've been depressed. Glad the

fics make you laugh. Thank you. And happy early birthday to you as well!

Vegeta: (looks down at book and blinks) I think I'll flip through half of it.

Goku: YAY! Candy bar! (happily snacks on it)

Turles: (looks at the objects) Hmm, I may have to mentally debate on this one.. (glances between a few of them)

Vegeta: (to Brolli) Pick the blindfold, its the safest thing there.

Brolli: (sweatdrops) ...

To Ouji-Chan: Happy you like the fic! Hai, it has gotten a little more dangerous around here. (glances around)

Vegeta: (smirks) That's why I have a ki barrier.

To Ouji-Chan: I wish you good luck if you do decide to continue your fics. I've never heard of that game before. Heh, I

really don't know why I forgot to think up an antidote to the arrows, it was so long ago.

Vegeta: (twitches at Chu) Hai, so long ago...

Chuquita: You feel fine right now, don't you?

Vegeta: At the moment. (blinks) You don't think I'll get lucky and it'll wear off, do you?

Chuquita: I dunno.

To Ouji-Chan: Ah, yes, this site has some strange thing against urls recently. Did you know that even if you write their own

name in one of your files, even if its not in a url, their QuickEdit will erase it on you? That's why I call this place

"the site", because it won't allow me to call it by name. I plan on keeping Brolli alive after this fic. Several fics that

take place in the future that I wrote between Brolli's first appearance and this one have him in it, so yeah, he's staying

around. Something between Turles and Raditsu? (sweatdrops) Well I did let Turles taunt him a bit in this chapter (since you

mentioned it and I remembered they haven't interacted much lately). but I dunno about relationship-wise.

To Albino Black Sheep: Yup! Hope you liked it!

To BlackDragonFury: That they are! I'm going to use that quote for either Part 8 or Part 9's Q.O.T.W. Veggie tried so hard

to escape, especially in this chapter. That song had to be kaka-germ influenced, especially that "offering" line. It didn't

have Veggie's usual platonic-semeness in it at all. At least the kaka-germs are stopping the brolli-germs, and that's

important. They're gonna need to work extra-hard in the next chapter. Glad you liked it!

To Hakura0: Veggie could try that, but then Brolli has lots of medical devices on his ship to treat Veggie with (seeing as

how he packed the ship to last them both for quite a while). And he's too obsessive to hand over Veggie to someone else for

treatment. Good idea though. :)

To ShiningMoon: Glad you liked it! Cliffhangers are fun. :) Just the first glimpses of how Goku's dealing with this info is

in this chapter. The rest of his thoughts on it should be in Part 8. Veggie's dream was fun because of how he

over-exaggerated the way the others act, not to mention Goku. :D Heh, you did better than I did with listening to the song.

I burst out laughing during Veggie's first few lines of dialogue after the shock of hearing the mushy background music. The

strawberry pocky is newer than the chocolate ones at the Suncoast here too. I might try one of them next time I go up there.

I've heard its good. Hai, I'm trying to conserve my money too. That way I can buy that dbz sagas game when it comes out. You

can actually wander around and jump in that game :D

To SupersayiankingTommy: Thanks! The kaka-germs were leftover from some that were in his room from the previous night before

Veggie got kidnapped. It's good that he finally got the phone message. Congradulations on your fic! Yup, this is a long

story. I know I have at least a couple more chapters to go.

To JustSomeGuy: I have no idea. (sweatdrops). Raditsu wants to bring them all back though. Lol. That'd be interesting, but

I've never read the book, and its been years since I saw the movie. Heh, I can definately see her as Chi-Chi though. Hooray

for the kaka-germs for stopping Brolli's:)

To orchideater: So happy you liked Veggie's semetastic dream. It was a lil treat to make up for all those dresses he got put

into earlier in the fic. Glad you liked his explaination of the rules, Turles, and Veggie and Brolli making cake as well. :)

I should be able to e-mail it to you the day I post this (hopefully sometime tommorow, the 9th).

To Sinah: Heh, sorry 'bout the cliffhangers. Veggie's a genius at videogames, even Toriyama says so! (points to comic-strip

where Veggie beats Goku at a videogame). Well Veggie gets that Brolli's not 100 percent evil so he thinks Brolli would leave

him alone for good if he could direct the densetsu's attention elsewhere. :) I can't imagine how Veggie would get Brolli

either one though. More of Goku's reaction will be in the next chapter, since I only touched on the outside of what's going

on with him now that he knows what happened. Glad you liked Turles too. :D Thanks!

To Nekoni: Glad you liked the videogame part. I wanted to let Veggie beat him in at least something. Lucky that Turles

recognized the bomb in time. :)

Vegeta: (looks down at sticker and sweatdrops) (tries to peel it off but is unable to) (twitches in frustration)

Goku: (laughs at Veggie, entertained)

Vegeta: (takes shirt off completely and tosses it onto the desk infront of him) ▫Sigh▫...

To Nekoni: The kaka-germs are fun to use! They'll have another semi-big role in the next chapter as well. Veggie will be

oh-kay and Goku will definately find him soon. Thanks!

Goku: Ooh, nog! (opens carton and takes a whiff)

Vegeta: (surprised) Huh, I didn't know they still made egg nog in march.

Goku: (sipping from it) Smells 'n tastes fresh to me, Veggie!

Vegeta: Huh...OHHHH. (grabs the side of his chair with his free hand) Did anyone else feel that sudden oncoming wave of

sickness or was that just me?

Chuquita: Probably the spray wearing off.

Vegeta: III! (thunks carton of egg nog down on the desk)

Goku: (points to it) Is Veggie drinking that?

Vegeta: (flatly) (with shock on his face) Not anymore.

Goku: YAY! (takes the carton) Thank you, Veggie.

Vegeta: (nervous) (squeaks out) You're welcome. (to Chu) Get some more peasant-repel, NOW!

Chuquita: I'll try to find some in storage. (gets up and heads off-stage)

Vegeta: (twitches) DON'T JUST WALK! RUN! KAKARROTTO IS SITTING NEXT TO ME CONSUMING A PARTLY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE! AND THE

REPEL IS WEARING OFF! HURRY!

Chuquita: (sweatdrops) Alright I'm going. Goku?

Goku: (gulps) (to audiance) See you sometime next week with Part 8 everybody! Byebye!

Vegeta: On second thought Kakarrotto maybe you don't need two cartons after all.
