Hey guys. So that cliffy was a bit much huh? Well, I'm sorry, but it had to be done. So here we are at another exciting chapter of "Survival." Don't you love me...not after that cliffy. Are you wondering what I'm about to do? Then let's stop with this crap and go on!

Chapter 7

I don't own DBZ

Kakarot stretched out his hand and it began glowing brightly. "COME OUT!"

"I'm here!"

Kakarot looked down below and saw his target with a giant ax in his hand. "That's the guy in my vision Prince Vegeta!"

"Well," he crossed his arms "I guess this means you're not crazy."

"Hey! Why would you think that?"

"It's kind of hard to believe that anyone can see into the future, especially a little boy."

"Well, I'm gonna show you what I can do!" Kakarot landed in front of the very large man.

He growled and said low and menacing "What do you want with me?"

"I'm supposed to fight you."

"Why? What do you have against me?"

Kakarot shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but it must be important. I saw you in my head."

Vegeta then landed on the ground behind Kakarot and took a seat on the ground, as if already bored. "Come on Kakarot! We don't have all day!"

"Okay. I'll get him. You just wait." Kakarot smirked. "By the way, I thought you should know the name of the guy who's about to kill you, so my names Kakarot. Remember it in the next dimension."

"And I'm the Ox King and I won't be defeated by a small child."

Kakarot chuckled. "Don't underestimate me. You're not very strong. My dad could take you down with a stare!"

"Whatever you may believe, I won't let you destroy me or my home!"

Vegeta yawned, showing that he was now obviously bored. "Come on Kakarot! You're being so stupid! Get the job done!"

Kakarot growled. "Okay! I'm going!"

Ox King felt insulted that a mere child was thinking so little of him, but he felt uneasy about this boy, as if he was unstoppable, and would one day be be completely unstoppable. "Ahhhhh!" He charged at the boy, but he then disappeared. "Where are you?"

Kakarot then sent the Ox King flying with a blow from the back of the head on to the ground. "Man, I didn't think you were actually this weak."

Ox King really wasn't expecting that from him. Even though it was one blow, he felt as if he was just snapped into two. 'What kind of boy is this?'

Kakarot stretched out his hand and gave the Ox King a blast.

"Hurry this up!" barked Vegeta.

Kakarot had a bloodthirsty smile on his face. "Just hold on a minute."

The Ox King searched around for the ax that he had dropped and realized that it was only a few feet away from his reach. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab it, but then he felt a sharp blow in his stomach and cried out in pain.

"You're so weak."

Ox King struggled to his feet. "You monster."

"Papa!" A little girl with long black hair and dark eyes ran from the burning mountain to the battlefield. "Don't hurt my papa!"

"No Chi-Chi! You must leave!"

Tears were streaming down her face quickly. For everyone, there was another to replace it. There was so much pain and hurt in her eyes and no matter how scared she was, she couldn't leave her father to die. "No don't hurt my papa! Please don't! I love him!" She ran in front of him and held her arms out to protect him.

Vegeta whispered "Give me a break."

Kakarot seemed to hesitate, but shook his head to shake off any emotions. "Get out of the way girl!"

Ox King pushed his daughter to the side. "Run Chi-Chi!"

Kakarot got in fighting stance once more.

Ox King picked up his large ax. "I won't let you do this!"

"To bad, because I'm gonna do it anyway!" With the blink of an eye, Kakarot flew in front of Ox King and punched him in his face, knocking him down. Kakarot then sat on top of him and began ruthlessly punching him in the face, over and over again. Blood was spraying on Kakarot's face, and he did not care. He was having the time of his life, just beating this weak giant.

"NO! Stop! You're killing him!"

Kakarot continued on, pounding Ox King until his helmet fell off and revealed his bloody face.

"Please stop! Don't kill my papa! He's all I have!"

Kakarot stopped the assault on Ox King and turned to look at the girl. Tears were falling down her face.

"Please don't hurt my papa!"

Kakarot saw the hurt in her eyes and could bring himself to hurt the Ox King any further. Something in his soul broke, and he couldn't continue on, not like this. Kakarot got off of him and backed away.

"Papa!" Chi-Chi ran to her father who was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. "Papa." She was horrified by his bloody face, but couldn't leave her father.

"Why'd you stop?" Vegeta walked over to Kakarot with a look of confusion and almost disgust on his face. "Why didn't you kill him?"

"Because..." Kakarot couldn't take his eyes off of the little girl and her father. "That's the look I had on my face when I held my dead mother in my arms. I had that same pain in my eyes." Kakarot found the courage to face Vegeta. "I-I don't think we're supposed to purge the planet. I think we might have to protect it."

Vegeta cocked an eyebrow. "Then why did you see yourself fighting him?"

"Because it changed when I said to purge Earth. I don't think we're supposed to purge it."

Vegeta grunted. "That must mean that Capsule Corp place is going to destroyed by someone coming to Earth, meaning that we're not safe on this planet."

Kakarot stopped paying attention to his and Vegeta's conversation and walked over to the little girl. "Is he alright?"

Chi-Chi looked at Kakarot with fearful eyes. "I...I don't know yet."

Chi-Chi smelled the boy and boldly said "You don't smell good."

Kakarot blushed. "Uh...yeah I was meaning to take a bath."

Chi-Chi was still crying and was scared to death, but managed to talk. "Why...did you spare him?"

Kakarot shrugged his shoulders. "I guess I realized that if I killed your father, I would be no better than the people who killed my father."

Chi-Chi wiped the tears from her eyes. "I need to get him to the villagers."

Kakarot stood to his feet and looked over to Vegeta. "I want to help her."

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Whatever for? She's nothing but a stupid girl!"

"She needs my help, and it's all my fault!"

"So! What does it matter?"

"Because...I think this is the right thing to do. I can't ignore her. The universe doesn't need anymore orphans!"

Vegeta couldn't believe that Kakarot was saying such things, even though there was some truth to it. "Fine. Do what you must, but I'm going to scout the planet. I'll find you later." Vegeta flew up in the air and took off quickly. "I can't believe he's being so weak! I knew I should have left his stupid behind back on the planet!" The pain Vegeta felt when Zarbon killed his mother came back into his mind, and Vegeta calmed down. 'Well...maybe he had a point.'

Kakarot was grateful that he left. He almost felt embarrassed about helping this girl.

Chi-Chi wiped what was left of her tears away. "I don't like you, and I want you to leave."

Kakarot smirked. "Are you scared of me?"

"Are you pwoud of that?"

Kakarot wasn't expecting that comeback from her. He was proud of that, but he thought that maybe that wasn't something to be proud of. "Well..." he blushed, feeling so embarrassed. "Just shut up! I'm going to help you with your father, whether you like it or not!"

Chi-Chi was still scared of him, but she nodded in agreement. "Thank you; please don't hurt him while I go to the villagers." Chi-Chi stood to her feet and ran away from Kakarot, leaving him to think about his thoughts.

With the villagers helped Ox King and patched his wounds, while Kakarot took a bath in one of the villager's home. Everyone disliked him, but they were too scared to deny him anything. Chi-Chi was somehow able to find the heart to forgive Kakarot, even though he hurt her father.

While Kakarot was bathing, he thought about all that he had done on this planet and how he had already managed to mess everything up. He wasn't supposed to kill those people, and yet he did. His father meant to give him that power, but he already let his father down. 'What am I supposed to do?'

"Kakarot?"

"Whose there?"

"I-It's Chi-Chi. I'm bringing you...your c-clothes. I had them cleaned for you."

"Bring them in."

Chi-Chi opened the door and walked in the bathroom and tried not to look at him.

It was at that moment that Kakarot realized how young she really was. He never thought about someone's age when he was about to kill. He just did, but now he could really see. "How old are you?"

Chi-Chi blushed since she was in a room with a naked boy. "Um...four."

"Me too."

Chi-Chi gasped. "And you're killing people? You're so young!"

Kakarot shrugged his shoulders. "It's what I was raised to do."

"So all of you are bad?"

Kakarot nodded, and for the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of what he did in his life. "Yes. I guess you could say that."

Chi-Chi had grown pale. She now wanted Kakarot to leave, because he was scaring her to death.

Kakarot smirked. "You're pretty smart for a girl your age. You talk well."

"What about you?"

"My race is taught a lot when they're young, especially Prince Vegeta."

Chi-Chi still was uncomfortable around him, but she somehow was able to tolerate it. "I'm gonna go." She got up and didn't look back at him. 'I can't believe he's that bad.'

Kakarot played with the water and smiled, actually having a good time. 'I miss my mother. I wish she could see me now...I'm taking a bath and she didn't even make me.'

By the time Kakarot left it was already late at night. He would have left sooner, but he wanted to stay with Chi-Chi and make sure Ox King was alright. He didn't know why either. He never felt this way about anyone besides his parents. He actually cared that he hurt her, and wanted to make it better, but distance would help the most.

Chi-Chi watched him leave from one of the villagers homes. She couldn't get into the palace because the flames were so high around her palace.

Kakarot looked back at the village, but wished he wouldn't have. Everyone had such a look of disgust on their faces. He just wanted to leave then. 'I should have just left with Vegeta.'

"Look at the sky." Said a woman from the village, trying to cheer up Chi-Chi.

Chi-Chi sighed and looked up at the moon. She thought it was so beautiful when the moon was full. "It's nice. My papa would like it."

Kakarot looked up in the sky, over hearing the woman with his sensitive ears. "I don't remember ever seeing one. I went on a mission, but I can't remember seeing..." Kakarot's heart began to beat slowly, but then began beating faster and faster and faster. 'What's wrong with me...is this what it feels like...when you transform?'

His body mass began increasing with every heart beat and he could feel a burning power in him rising.

"Ahhhhhh!"

By the screaming of a child, everyone looked at Kakarot and became horrified. Chi-Chi couldn't believe that monkey hair was growing all over him and his body was growing after every second. His teeth began to sharpen...

"We have to leave Miss Chi-Chi!" Someone grabbed her arm and began to run off.

"What about my papa?"

"We have to get the Ox King!" Everyone began to run away, but Chi-Chi ran in a house to join her father.

"Papa! Papa!"

Kakarot's transformation was complete and he had no idea what he was doing. He was totally out of control and couldn't stop himself from doing anything. "Arghhhhhhhhh! Grhhhhhrr!" He began to make his way to the village and began destroying house after house, crushing whatever villagers who didn't get out of the way.

Screams surrounded the area, and the Ox King's body was far too large to be moved. "Papa! I won't leave you!"

"We have to leave Chi-Chi!" yelled a man.

"NO! I won't leave my papa!"

He grunted and picked the small girl up.

"Put me down!"

"No!"

"Papa!" She began kicking a screaming, doing everything that she could possibly do to get into her father's arms. "Papa! I don't want to leave you!"

The ground shook with Kakarot's foot steps and the closer he got, the more everyone panicked. Chi-Chi didn't take her eyes off of the house that her father was in, and her heart collapsed, when she saw Kakarot's foot crush her father's body. "Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Tears readily streamed down her face. "NO! Papa no! No! You monster! Why? Papa no!"

Kakarot heard the voice with his now super sensitive ears and managed to control himself a little, but not completely. He didn't step forward, which would have crushed Chi-Chi, but he stepped back and continued his assault on the part of the village that he already began destroying.

"Papa! Papa! Papa!" She cried her heart out, all night, until the crack of dawn.

In the morning, Vegeta flew back to get Kakarot, fearing what happened. His scouter began going off and it was a high power. He figured it was Kakarot and didn't bother to go back for him, but he knew he should have. The damage of the village was unfixable. There were destroyed homes, bodies, blood, and the castle was gone, as well as the flames. Vegeta found Kakarot sleeping on the ground heavily, but his white boots were now stained with blood. "Kakarot?"

Kakarot rolled over, but Vegeta poked him. "What do you want?"

"Get up you stupid boy! Why'd you look at the moon?"

"The moon?" Kakarot sprung to his feet and looked around at the damage. "I-I did this?"

"Yeah stupid. You shouldn't have looked at the moon!"

Kakarot looked down at his feet and quickly took his boots off. He then realized that it was all on his armor, so he removed that and his gloves and was left in nothing but his body suit. "I didn't mean to."

"Well, you can't change the past, so come on." He grabbed his arm and began walking.

"Come on, I found this Capsule Corp. Did you have any visions?"

Kakarot was still in shock of what happened. "Well...no...and I hope I never do again!"

Vegeta stopped walking and looked into his eyes. Kakarot was completely horrified at what he had done. Vegeta grunted and slapped Kakarot in the face, knocking him down.

"Get over it, you fool!"

Kakarot touched his hot face. "B-but why?"

"Because you needed it! We kill all the time!"

"And we shouldn't!"

Vegeta was taken back by that. "What? What's your..."

"Don't even ask that stupid question! Frieza kills for no reason, and we do to! We shouldn't! It's wrong!" Kakarot looked at all of the destruction before him. "It's all so wrong."

Vegeta couldn't believe that Kakarot was having this nervous break down. "Kakarot..." Vegeta did think about this whole situation last night, but now it really began to sink in his head. "Well...it's too late now, so just suck it up!" Vegeta took off into the air. "Follow me!"

Kakarot looked around for the girl Chi-Chi and couldn't find her. 'I guess I bashed her into the ground.' Kakarot took a deep breath and swore that something had to change. If Vegeta would not support him, then that was simply too bad. He would have to just do it on his own, but he had to change. He didn't want to be like Frieza, and there was no way that he'd grow up into another Frieza. Like he said, there were too many orphans already. He didn't want to add some more.

"Are you okay Chi-Chi?"

Chi-Chi's tears were not wiped away, but dried on her face. She wanted her tears to stain her face. She wanted to remember the pain. She was in the forest, far away from her palace, cursing the day she had ever met Kakarot. 'I swear I'll get you. I'll kill you for this Kakarot. I'll kill everyone of your kind one day. You'll regret what you did to my papa, and my people.'

To be continued...

A/N: Hehehe. I guess you all think I'm sick. Just keep reading. I swear everything will be to your liking.
