I hope you guys liked the last chapter. I liked it, and I'm gonna make sure everything turns out alright in the end, so don't kill me for what I have done. Okay? So let's get on with it!

Chapter 8

Vegeta looked behind him and realized Kakarot was lagging farther behind him than usual. Vegeta sighed frustratingly and then flew back to meet with him. "Kakarot!"

Kakarot's eyes were empty and his mind was busy with thoughts. Everything seemed almost unreal, ever since he destroyed the Ox King's Kingdom.

"Kakarot!" Vegeta took him by the collar of his shirt and shook him hard and fast. "Speak to me you moron!"

Kakarot forced his way from Vegeta's grasp and grunted. "What do you want from me?"

"I want you to quit moping and wake up! I'm not going to accompany myself with a little kid that doesn't have a brain, so I suggest that you get your act together!"

"Leave me alone Vegeta!"

"Why, so you can pout all day? We have a job to do! Don't you want to avenge your father?"

"Yes!"

"Then wake, open your mouth, and try! I know you feel bad because of what you did, but you have to go on with life! Even if you feel bad, it was an accident! You've got nothing to be ashamed about!"

"I disagree with you Vegeta."

"I don't care if you do or don't, but I'm not going to this Capsule Corp with a misguided vision, so if you had another one while we were flying, you better tell me!"

Kakarot sighed and shook his head.

"Are you lying?"

"No. I haven't had one."

Vegeta glared at him suspiciously, but started flying again.

Kakarot was about to continue on with his depressing attitude, but his stomach began rumbling and he had to open his mouth. "Uh...Vegeta, I'm hungry."

"We'll get something after we figure out what's going on."

Kakarot flew closer the Vegeta. "How much closer are we?"

"We're in the city, so we should be there any second."

Kakarot smiled, now getting excited that the faster he was to Capsule Corp, the closer he was getting to food. When he saw the giant yellow building, he smiled so brightly that his eyes couldn't be seen. "There it is! That's Capsule Corp!"

Vegeta rolled his eyes and said sarcastically. "How did you know?" Of course there was the name on the building being a clue, but Kakarot answered differently.

"Because it looks familiar and I think I saw it in my vision."

People in the city began looking up in the sky and screaming, recognizing that the two boys on the news were in their city.

Vegeta smirked. "They've heard of us. How nice?"

Kakarot didn't like what they knew them for.

Dr. Briefs ran into his room with his daughter in his arms. "Honey, we've got to go."

Mrs. Briefs was in the mirror, trying on a bright yell dress. "Do you think I look fat in this dress, hun?"

Dr. Briefs began to panic. "This city is about to be destroyed and all you can think about is your clothing?"

"Just a minute dear. I just want to go out with some style. Then we need to find my baby."

"I'm right her, momma." said Bulma.

"No, not you dear. I'm talking about my kitty."

Dr. Briefs grabbed her arm. "We've got to go."

"But I need to pick out some better looking shoes then these old black ones!"

"We have to time. The aliens are in the city!"

"Actually, we're here."

Dr. Briefs gasped as he looked to the window that was in the room and saw the two Saiyan boys. "W-what do you want?" Dr. Briefs thought about running over to close the window, but it was too late.

Vegeta came in the room through the window and Kakarot followed. Kakarot was holding his stomach, believing that if he didn't have anything to eat soon, he would then die. Vegeta had a smirk on his face, feeling like he was in control. "I don't know yet, but you're going to help me find out what I'm supposed to do."

"W-what do you mean by that?" Dr. Briefs held his daughter tightly in his arms. She was holding on to him for her dear life, as well as her favorite doll.

"Daddy."

"I know Bulma. Be quiet." He put her down after he pried her hands away from him. "What do you want me to do?"

Vegeta pushed Kakarot forward. "Well, I had a vision of this place being destroyed. At first I thought I was gonna destroy it, but it's not us, so I think we're supposed to protect you."

"Then why did you kill all those people?"

Vegeta answered bluntly. "Because I felt like it."

Kakarot also answered "We shouldn't have and I want to make things right."

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Do you have anything that makes you see outside of this planet?"

Dr. Briefs nodded.

"Lead me to it."

Dr. Briefs wasn't sure if he could really trust this boy and not be killed, but he had no choice really.

Bulma held on to her father's leg, wishing that he wouldn't go, but she was able to let it go of her own accord when she got a good look at Vegeta. "Hey!" Bulma placed her hands on her hips and cocked an eyebrow. "You're just a stupid little boy! You're not the boss of me!"

"What?" Vegeta had never been so insulted in his whole entire life. Vegeta held up his medallion to show he is royalty. "Listen you stupid girl! Do you see this? Do you realize what it means?"

Bulma took a look at it and simply said "It means you're a sissy boy."

Dr. Briefs gasped and covered his daughter's mouth.

Vegeta grunted and prepared to blast the girl, but Kakarot stood in front of the girl.

"Don't Prince Vegeta!"

"I will if I want to! Do you realize what she said to me?"

"Yes, but she doesn't know any better!"

"So she can learn in Hell!"

"Please don't! We're not supposed to, so leave her alone."

Vegeta wanted to kill the girl so very badly, but he didn't want to mess up anything that could help him kill Frieza. "Fine. Show me the blasted device!"

Dr. Briefs sighed in relief. "Follow me." When Vegeta and Dr. Briefs left the room, Bulma caught and attitude with Kakarot.

"And you're just a stupid boy who's even smaller than the other one! You expect me to bow down to you? Do you know who I am? I'm Bulma, and you don't go threatening me!"

Kakarot was angered by her words, but somewhat admired her courage. "I could kill you in an instant. If you've seen the news, you'd know."

Bulma remembered the television and decided it would be foolish to insult him. "Why did you kill those people? Don't you know it's wrong?"

Kakarot nodded his head. "I just learned that, but Prince Vegeta still needs some convincing. As a matter of fact, I don't think he'll even stay on this planet to help you...Earthlings."

Mrs. Briefs walked over to Kakarot and played with his hair. "Why, aren't you just a piece of work? You're a little cuttie alright. As a matter of fact, if you were older..."

"Do you have anything to eat?" Kakarot smiled, hoping that she would.

"Why yes. Are ya hungry?"

Kakarot nodded. "Uh huh! I sure am!"

"Well, I'll fix ya something hun. I bought these little cakes that I think you'll like." Without thinking about the fact that Kakarot could kill her in an instant, she left out of the room to get him some cakes.

Bulma sat down on the floor and crossed her arms. "Where did you come from? You sure don't look like E.T."

Kakarot sat down on the floor with her. "Well, my name is Kakarot. I come from a planet called Vegeta."

"I thought that little boy was named Vegeta."

"He is, but that's also the name of our planet. You see he's only Vegeta Jr. His father is King Vegeta, and King Vegeta named the planet after him."

Bulma looked up at the ceiling as if she was bored. "Vegeta is a stupid name and Kakarot's a weird name too."

Kakarot really was upset with what she said now. "Excuse me, but my name is not stupid! I like my name! It's a name for a strong warrior!"

"How old are you?"

"Four."

"You're just a baby!"

"How old are you?"

"Seven, but I'll be eight soon."

"Vegeta's eight, but he'll be nine."

Kakarot realized how strange Bulma was and pulled her hair.

"Ouch! Why'd you do that?"

"Why is your hair that color? It's strange."

"It's blue! There's nothing wrong with blue!"

"You're eyes are that color too!"

"Because they are! How come your hair is black?"

"Because all Saiyans have dark hair."

"I thought you were a Vegeta."

"No. That's what our planet is called, not what my race is! I'm a Saiyan, and Vegeta's the Prince of our race!"

Bulma rolled her eyes. "I think you're all weird."

"Well, blue haired girls are named Bulma are weird too!"

Bulma stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "Now listen, you may be top dogs on Vegeta, but here, you go by my rules."

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm the richest girl in the world and my daddy owns the most successful business ever, so we're a smart family with wealth and power."

"So, you're the princess of this planet?"

"No, but I would like to marry a Prince Charming and have my own Kingdom." She sighed in her girlish fantasies. "Just like Cinderella."

"Well I don't know a Prince Charming, but I do know a Prince Vegeta."

"You're so stupid! Charming isn't his name! That's what he is!"

Kakarot shrugged. "I don't care about this stupid Earth tradition! If you want my help, then shut up!"

Bulma grunted and held her doll tightly. 'I don't like these stupid Saiyans.'

Dr. Briefs lead Prince Vegeta to the observations station where their giant telescope was located. "Here it is."

Vegeta looked into the telescope and saw nothing. "Adjust it."

Dr. Briefs walked over to a computer and began pressing buttons. "This computer will help you more. It is hooked up to our satellite. With this, we should be able to find...what are you looking for?"

"A spaceship or perhaps many. There is reason to believe that people will come to destroy this planet or sell it to the highest bidder."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because Kakarot, the boy with me can see the future and this place was destroyed, and we didn't do it."

Dr. Briefs was hit with fear, but decided to keep working. "I've found something."

Vegeta walked over to the computer screen. "What did you find?"

"It appears to be spaceships alright." Dr. Briefs' heart sank and fear began to bring chills all over his body, like the cold. "You and Kakarot weren't lying. Someone really is coming to Earth."

"Hey! Get out here, ya freaks! I wanna teach ya a lesson about messen with our planet!"

"What was that?" asked Bulma.

Kakarot walked over to the window and opened it all the way. "It's a riot."

"There's the freak!"

"Let's kill it!"

"Leave it alone! It'll kill our children, just like everyone else!"

Some fat man with black hair got a gun and began shooting at Kakarot, but Kakarot caught the bullets as if they were nothing. "What kind of thing is this?" Kakarot looked at the bullets with wonder. "What are these things?" He turned to Bulma.

"Oh my! You caught a bullet! What are you?"

"I told you, I'm a Saiyan!" Kakarot dropped the bullets on the carpet and looked out the window at the people. "Go away! I'm gonna set things right."

"Kill it!" yelled some one in the city.

"We've got to get out of here! They can catch bullets!"

"Run for you lives!" With those last words, everyone in the city began to scream and run.

Kakarot hung his head down low, as if disappointed. "What's wrong with everyone? I said I would set things right." Kakarot closed the window and walked over to Bulma. "Are they always this cowardly?"

Bulma was a little scared herself. She knew Kakarot was strong, but to catch bullets was difficult to believe. "Are you gonna hurt me?"

"No. Why would I do that?"

Bulma was so run over by fear that tears began to run down her face. "Because you killed those other people, and I'm scared."

Kakarot recognized Bulma's fear from the look the girl Chi-Chi had in her eyes. "I-I'm not gonna hurt you."

"You promise?"

"Yes. I promise.'

"What about Vegeta?"

"He won't hurt you either."

"I don't trust him. He's mean and scary."

"He won't hurt you."

Bulma dropped her doll and backed away from Kakarot. "I don't trust you, and especially him!"

"But...but Vegeta likes you! He thinks you're pretty...and he's you're prince charming...in disguise!"

Bulma wiped her tears and picked up her doll. "Do you really mean that? Does he really like me?"

"I promise. Vegeta would never hurt you. He may seem like a tough guy, but he's..." Kakarot decided to ruin Vegeta's image so that he might be able to get revenge on Vegeta, just for all the times he called Kakarot a freak, stupid, weak, and so on. "Well, he really does like you, and I know he'd do anything for you. As a matter a fact, he thinks you'd be a great potential one day."

"Potential? What do you mean? And I thought boys thought that girls had coodies!"

"What's coodies?"

Bulma smiled happily. "Never mind! You don't need to know. Tell me more about my Prince!"

"Well, he puts on a tough act to hide the fact that he's an old softy inside. He really likes girls. Oh, and a potential is...your mate."

"What's a mate?"

"Well..." Kakarot scratched his head, trying to figure out the best way to describe the relationship between mates. "It's two people that are joined together, forever..."

"You mean he wants to marry me!" Bulma blushed. "How exciting! "I can't wait until I get older! You know, if you stare at Vegeta really hard, he starts to look cute."

Kakarot smiled. 'I'm glad I cheered her up.'

Mrs. Briefs came into the room with a tray of cookies and cakes. "Now here are some snacks for you all."

Kakarot licked his lips and as soon as the tray was sat down on a table, Kakarot dove into the plate of cakes.

"Oh my. He sure was hungry."

Vegeta and Dr. Briefs then walked into the bedroom. "Kakarot, it appears we're not safe on this planet. We should go."

After swallowing three more pieces of cake whole, Kakarot wiped his mouth and turned to Vegeta. "We can't go! We have to protect the Earthlings!"

"No we don't!"

"Yes we do! My father gave me the power to see the future for some reason, and I'm not running..."

"There's Prince Vegeta!" shouted a green lizard man. "That's the one Frieza's been looking for."

"Prince Vegeta!" Kakarot ran to Prince Vegeta, trying to stop what was about to happen to him, but he felt a painful blow in his chest, and then fell to the ground dead.

Prince Vegeta tried to fight his way from Frieza's men, but it was no use, and he was captured.

"I grow tired of you and your rebellious ways, Vegeta!" Frieza was swaying his tail back in front impatiently.

A bloody and almost dead older version of Prince Vegeta was on the ground, coughing up blood.

"Now it's time for you to die!"

"Kakarot?" Vegeta waved his hand in front of Kakarot's face. "You there?"

Kakarot hung his head down. "If you don't leave, then you'll be captured, and I'll be killed."

"So then let's go."

"But..."

Bulma had tears in her eyes, and she didn't know what do to. She was so scared that she couldn't move. Her parents were already dead, and now it was her turn.

A rat type creature grabbed her arm. "This one will be our dinner."

"NO!"

"But Bulma will die if I go!"

Bulma ran over to her father and held on to his leg tightly. "Please stay! One of you stay!"

Kakarot looked to Vegeta, to see what he should do. "Our race will end if we stay," said Vegeta.

"But their race will end if we go, and we've done enough to these Earthlings."

Vegeta sighed. "Is there anything else...any other visions...about me?"

Kakarot shook his head. "If you go, don't die Prince Vegeta. You are the Prince."

Vegeta nodded. "I won't die, but you better not be wrong about your visions."

Kakarot shook his head again. "I know what we're supposed to do, but come back some day."

"How long are you going to stay?"

"Until I feel it's time to leave."

Vegeta smirked. "Maybe you're not so stupid after all."

Kakarot was somewhat honored that Prince Vegeta's opinion about him changed. "Thank you Prince Vegeta."

Vegeta nodded in respect for the young Saiyan. "I'm off then." Vegeta began to make his way out of the room.

"Wait!"

Vegeta turned around. "What?"

"Y-you should find a man named Matayis."

"Matayis? Who would he be?"

"I don't know, but it feels right."

Bulma blushed and walked over to Vegeta and gave him a quick hug and then ran behind Kakarot.

Vegeta growled at the little girl and walked out of the room.

Dr. Briefs looked at Kakarot and realized how small he was, and doubted that he could do anything. "Can you really stop what's coming to Earth?"

Kakarot shrugged. "I don't know, but I know staying here is the right thing to do. I have my path, and Vegeta has his."

"Do you think you'll meet each other again?" asked Dr. Briefs.

"I should hope so. I don't think I could ever beat Frieza alone, and he won't be able to either."
