Chapter 2
"I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever knownDon't know where it goes
But it's only meAnd I walk alone"
(Green Day – Boulevard of Broken Dreams)
I returned to the place I hated calling home, Freiza's planet. But then again, I always thought of it as temporary residence…
My limbs were numb and a few bones were broken, mostly shattered. There was one thing that hurt a lot though, my Pride. I was sticky and smelly, I needed to clean myself down. I made my way down to the Medical Centre to have my wounds seen to. The doctors quickly put me into a regeneration tank to heal and after a few hours I was healed, almost completely. I was still sticky from the tank and there were still a few places with hardened blood on my body. Taking a glance at the doctors and other personnel in the medical lab, I took off and headed straight for my room.
Upon entering my room my bed looked most inviting, yes that would do just nicely, a long sleep. Unfortunately I had to get clean, the smell on me was just too much and with my Saijin senses it didn't make it any easier on the nose. The bathroom light switched on automatically as I entered piercing my eyes with its brightness. I tore what was left of the bodysuit and armor off of me and chucked it to the side. I studied myself in the mirror and I was disgusted at what I saw. I looked like hell. I studied every part of my body. My skin was pale so it emphasized the wounds more. A big scar was etched on to my chest that would heal soon I hope. I suffered from scars before and all of them healed. (One of the advantages of being a Saijin). I studied my face and saw that many of the bruises on it were gone, other than that it was just my jaw that was still a bit painful. I turned my back to the mirror and looked at it carefully, and that's when it hit me. I no longer had a tail. My tail was gone…
I just then thought of my battle on earth, Kakkarot. I snapped back out into reality as quickly as I could. There it was again, that voice.
'Revenge is going to be sweet. Sweeter than honey. Don't you think Vegeta? Lovely. That idiots blood dripping from your hands, mmm how tasty it sounds. Hey Vegeta…'
"Shut up!"This haunting voice within me was driving me insane. I tried to shut that voice up but it kept getting louder and louder till I couldn't take it any more.
"SHUT UP!"I screamed at it and slammed my fist straight at the mirror, its shattered pieces falling into the basin just beneath it. It was gone, the voice, for now.
I look at the pieces of glass in a daze and it seemed so familiar. The sparkle of it.
Kakkarot.
I don't now how long I was standing there looking at the shards of glass when I came out of my daydream. Then I looked down and I noticed my erection. An erection?
"Did I have an erection because of Kakkarot? Cant be… Could it?"I felt my cheeks heating up, turning red? Was I blushing? NO! I stormed towards the shower with my erection swaying left and right.
"DAMN IT, DAMN YOU KAKKAROT!"I turned on the shower, just turning the knob, which said 'COLD'.
My erection died down and I switched the water from cold to hot. The bathroom quickly filled with steam and I started to clean myself. I washed my hair and everywhere. Clean, clean, clean. I finished up in the shower about half an hour later. And still I couldn't believe myself… Kakkarot.
By now I was extremely hungry. I had nothing to eat for four days and my stomach was growling, considerably. I had to eat something, anything. I made my way down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. While walking down the spiral stairs which lead you to the cafeteria I could still feel those inquisitive fuckin eyes on me. Oh how I desperately wished for them all to just die suddenly. It could be arranged. I thought to myself, smirking at my own sarcasm.
Everybody mocked me, every-damn-body. From the elite fighters to the medical personnel, hell, even the fuckin kitchen staff, all mumbled and whispered behind my back, all of them probably saying what a big loser I was. That was when I entered the damn building, by this time I would have thought it would have died down, blown over. Guess not. I was in a terrible situation one I did not wish to be in. I just wanted the ground beneath me to crack open and swollow me whole. I wanted to be wiped out of existence. I wanted to sleep and never wake up again. But then again I couldn't get what I wanted. But I couldn't show such emotion, especially in front of them. Then a thought came to mind, actually more of a realization.
I could never get what I wanted. Period.
Walking up to get myself a couple of trays I thought of Nappa, I had to do what I did, he was weak and weakness was not tolerated. Moving my mind towards other things for fear of depression I grabbed a few items to eat, nothing much, just a few of this a bit of that and little bit of something till the trays I carried were finally full. I then carried the fourteen trays with me to my table. Everybody still staring, not because I was carrying so much food, I thought to myself, giving off a low growl from my throat, but because I was so weak. That feeling of being stared at made me very uneasy, edgy almost. One could swear some Hollywood star graced them with his or her presence. Idiots, the lot of them, mindless drones all to do the bidding of that freaky lizard. I sat down, not bothering to look up, and carried on eating my meal. Then as if knowing my inner most troubles, one of my least favorite people walked up to my table looking quite smug while doing so.
"Hello Vegeta, long time no see"I was pissed at the fact that he came over to my table while I was eating and then had the nerve to speak to me, very well knowing that I was in no mood for company, I was never in the mood for company anyway.
"What do you want Kuie?"I asked without looking up from what I busy devouring at the time.
"Oh nothing, just wanted to know why a prince was defeated by a Third Class, that's all, tell me again how could you lose against a weakling, third class"
The nerve of the idiot, how dare he mock me, I am Prince Vegeta. He had to pay.
There it was again, that voice in my head started to surface again.
(Are you gonna let him speak to you in such a manner?
You are the prince of Saijins, you are Royalty, he has to be taught how to behave in front of Royalty! Kill him, do it, DO IT! Not only is he mocking you, but his daring you challenging you, well? What are you waiting for? Do it. KILL HIM!)
I lunged at him (knocking my food out of the way as well) with a great and stealthy speed, which knocked him against the far wall creating a rather lovely crater in the process. Satisfied with what I had done to that nobody, whom, I must say had balls to come up to me in the first place, but it wasn't enough, he needed another dose of the 'Vegeta Antidote'. Again I flew straight for him knocking him further back into the wall. But that wasn't enough, something told me to keep on doing what I was. I then blasted him for all his worth, what I received was totally surprising, a loud, screeching scream, a scream filled with sweet and sticky blood came from the freaks bloody lips. The wounds the prick sustained were of course, fatal, how gratifying it was. At that moment I thought of it as a nice prelude to the death of that other nobody, Kakkarot…
"Who next shall dare ridicule me?"I roared into the crowd that had formed while the whole debacle took place between the idiot I just killed moments ago and myself.. Everyone looked at me in utter amazement. They quickly turned their backs as I walked back to my table, all of them like sheep, walking away, ever so casually. Freiza's little herd.
Never was I going to be one of those sheep, never again will I do someone else's bidding.
Never Again
All of them made me sick to my stomach. I was satisfied with myself for taking care of them all. The lot of them.
I silently walked back to my table to finish my meal, in silence, alone.
I finished my meal and walked back to my room, right now I did not feel like training at all. I was in no mood to be stared at. The door to my room opened and there was the bed still inviting me. I sat down on it and plopped to the back and before I knew it I was asleep. I was never so tired like was on that day. And I just slept.
A while later a buzzing of something woke me, the door bell. I did not feel like getting up, but when I looked at the clock next to my bed I saw that had slept for nine hours. I quickly got up and went to the door. What was waiting for me on the other would will the dead alive. I was summoned by Freiza to his 'throne' room by one of his henchmen, an ugly kinda scary looking, blue alien from the Ronast Colony, situated in the Angel Galaxy. Hideous bunch of aliens. Made me sick.
I remember how, under the order of Freiza, I totally annihilated that planet and all its inhabitants. I could still hear the screams of the many people I killed. I can still see the pain, and horror on their faces; I can still smell their fear. It was all an experience, so beautiful. The ultimate mixture of all the wrong senses. It was something I couldn't wait to experience time after time. It was an addiction, a sick yet lovely addiction.
I simply gave the alien a death glare with the added bonus of a grin. I'm sure it was enough to piss the blue off of his skin, but who was I to care? He was gone in an instant. I slowly lifted myself from my bunk and proceeded to the doorway and out into the hallway. My room door closed and locked itself firmly in place.
Walking down the hallway I passed many 'creatures', all of them looking at me. Some looking away while other's just kept on staring. After I foolishly killed Nappa on earth, I never had anybody to talk to. All emotions were always just bottled up within me, there was no vent.
The only thing I tried to listen to, were my footsteps. The steady rhythmic sounds my feet created, somewhat calmed me. I just kept on walking, only facing forward not bothering to look to around, to look into 'those' faces. I tried to just keep on facing forward, slowly making my way to the lizard's lair.
The air around me was frigid, enough for my Saijin anatomy to tolerate but most uncomfortable. Making my way past the guards, which stood on both sides of the massive doors with the Freiza symbol crafted on it I entered the lions, or let me rephrase that, the Lizards lair. And there he was, floating above the floor looking out to in the expanse of his planet, through the huge glass dome above, although I never could understand what would catch someone's attention on such a barren waste land of a planet.
Careful as not to let my thoughts wonder I stand there and fold my arms, closing my eyes not bothering to look up again, waiting for Freiza to speak.
Moments later the great Lord Freiza spoke.
"Vegeta"Slowly lifting my head and equally as slowly opening my eye's I see him standing there. Grinning his trademark grin.
"Vegeta, I see as always you like keeping me in wait"
Bastard I thought, he was the one that me fuckin waiting. I remember the cold feeling I got, it's something you couldn't forget, no matter how hard you tried. He stood there a while looking out to whatever caught his attention earlier. I just looked at him in puzzlement; it nerved me, the waiting.
"Is there something you would like to tell me, Vegeta, something you would like to share with me?"There was no end to the cockiness in his frozen voice. My mind just screamed at me, screaming things which I did not want to hear, especially now, while in front of Freiza. Intimidation was a thing I lease liked. Spears of ice forcing its way through me, at me, knocking me down with a gaze like that of the Devil himself. Unnerving.
"Something I have to tell you Lord Freiza?"I honestly had no idea what the freak was getting at, something I had to tell him?
"Yes, Vegeta, you know I am not one to beat around the bush but today I feel like being amused. I would like to see how all this will pan out"
"What do you mean Lord Freiza?"
I asked the lizard with much sarcasm, but I had to show that there was a tremble within me. I had to keep it under control. He still had that gaze on me, still staring as if to extract my deepest and darkest secrets. Searching?
I knew exactly what he was talking about, probably talking about me killing Nappa and going to earth on my own accord, no less. I just looked at him not breaking the gaze. But I had to play along with his little game.
"Ahg! I never had patience anyway. So let me refresh your memory. You neglected to inform me of a little something, a little something called the Dragonballs."
I was frozen in place, not able to move, I was thinking to myself while heavy beads of sweat started to form on my forehead, how the hell did he know of the Dragonballs? Surely he could not have heard about it from the Scouter, its range is not that far. How?
"You do know Vegeta that something like this, information of this value, being kept from me is punishable? You poor thing, did you really think that you could kill me by wishing on them? You and your kind has always been such a sorry bunch, haven't you? Tsk Tsk, Vegeta, what should I do with you, you lying, Dragonball stealing, monkey thief?"
He threw his head back laughing like there was no tomorrow. It is words that I will never forget, cold words which hurt. My people are not a sorry bunch, I swore that he would be sorry for what he did and said. How dare he call me a monkey?
"You're one to talk, calling me a monkey, look in the mirror lately? You like a Gecko with freezer burn"
I smirked, knowing I shut him up, but all I got in return was a smack across the face, which sent me reeling. It was painful, since my damn jaw was still healing properly.
"Vegeta, you will never learn will you? But I will pretend I did not hear that, Monkey!"My blood pressure most probably sky rocketed because my head started to pain tremendously. He left the room and that cold aura left with him. I was starting to warm up again, and my jaw was starting to throb again and the pain my head was dishing out wasn't making it any easier on me. Bastard.
Freiza had had me confined to my room without any food for two days. Alone. He thought of it as a fitting punishment for lying to him. It could have been worse. Thank Kami it wasn't.
Three days had passed and I was finally allowed to leave my room. The first thing which I came across was that Freiza had sent his elite fighting team, the Ginyu Force, to Namek where there too were Dragonballs. They were sent there to recover the balls and to bring them back to Freiza. That was two days ago, and Freiza was growing impatient. So he himself left for Namek to see what was happening. To see what was keeping his elite force so long. Upon hearing that, I had to do something. I could not let that lizard get his filthy hands on the Dragonballs. I just could not let that happen.
I then, carefully, stole a space pod and made my way to Namek. I had to get their first, somehow I had to get the Dragonballs first.
If I had to stop that tyrant on my own, so be it.
I'll tell you the truth, it puts a damper on things, you know, when no one is there to share you trials and tribulations, when no one cares. I wished silently to myself, that someone, anyone could help me. Being selfish, irate, rude, obnoxious and a host of other negative emotions was something that came naturally, but I would give anything for a friend, wouldn't you if your were alone? Think of it as strange, but everybody had, let me rephrase that, HAS that opinion of me. All of them thinking that I am ruthless, uncaring and just a total bastard. At times I can be all of that and a bit more, but everyone deserves someone, don't they?
The control panel of the pod was beeping frantically alerting me to my arrival at Namek. I saw the green planet on my radar, nothing but a blip, but there was still just space. A while later I could see the planet itself. It was beautiful. But of course nothing could compare to Vegeta, my home planet. Only when the sun set on earth, when the atmosphere created dark oranges to fiery reds, did it resemble something to that of Vegeta, but Vegeta's colors were much darker. But enough reminiscing on the past, even thought it's a past I would give anything for. A time when I was carefree, when I thought the entire universe belonged to me. I had told myself again to stop with this nonsense, I had something to take care of. Something else entirely.
I was on my way to most probably face my death, but I had nothing to lose.
Nothing?
