Chapter 9

I don't own DBZ

Vegeta walked out of Capsule Corp with a serious look on his face. He knew what he now had to do, and wouldn't stop until his mission was complete: kill Frieza. He reached into his armor and pulled out a remote control and pressed a blue button on it. 'My ship will be here soon.'

All of the people that saw Vegeta began running around and screaming their heads off. Vegeta couldn't help but smirk. He did enjoy making everyone scream bloody murder and making fear crawl up and down their spins.

"Vegeta!" Bulma ran outside with tears in her eyes and down her cheeks. "Prince Vegeta!"

"What do you want girl? I don't have time to play with you? I'm leaving now!"

"But something's wrong with Kakarot!" Bulma collapsed on the ground, trying to catch her breath.

Vegeta was taken back by what she had said. "Well, what's wrong with him?" Vegeta felt a sudden rush of fear hit him, and that was strange. 'This must be bad.'

"I don't know." Bulma began wiping her eyes, but it was no use, because she couldn't stop crying. She felt like she could actually trust Kakarot and everything would be alright if he stayed on Earth, but she believed that Kakarot would die.

Vegeta growled knowing that Bulma wouldn't be any help to him, so he ran back into Capsule Corp, but Bulma came running behind him.

Scientists were gathered around the landing site observing the space pod.

"Amazing" said one.

"We must never let this pod get out of out sights."

Just then, the space pod began rising up in the sky and flew off.

"Where is it going?"

When Vegeta saw Kakarot Vegeta's heart actually skipped a beat and he went into pure shock. "W-what's wrong with him?"

Kakarot was lying on the ground as if in some kind of a coma and his eyes were rolled all the way back, so you could see nothing but white.

Vegeta got on his knees and got right next to him. "Kakarot?"

Bulma went over to her father and began holding him tightly. "I'm scared daddy."

"It's okay."

Mrs. Briefs got a tissue and started blowing her nose. "Oh, the poor dear."

Vegeta rested his head on Kakarot's chest to see if his heart was still beating and it was. "He's still alive."

"What's wrong with him, Vegeta?" asked Bulma.

"I don't know!"

"F-f-f..."

"Kakarot?" Vegeta backed away to give him some space. "Kakarot?"

"Frieza!"

That name was like acid on Vegeta's ears. "Frieza? Frieza!"

Kakarot sprang up off of the floor, but his eyes were still all white. "Stay away from him! Leave him alone!" Tears began to roll down his eyes and his heart began to beat faster. "Frieza!"

"Kakarot!" Vegeta felt utterly helpless and stepped away.

"Help him!" screamed Bulma.

"I don't know how! I don't even understand what's wrong!"

Kakarot's heart began to beat slower, until it was barely beating at all. "Leave him alone, Frieza!" Kakarot feel back down and hit his head and his eyes were normal, but he was no longer breathing.

'Kakarot?'

Bulma turned her head away and started crying so hard that her face turned red and her eyes started hurting.

"Is he..." Mrs. Briefs began crying as well.

"I-I think he's dead." Vegeta turned his head and walked towards the door, but couldn't walk out. 'Why is this happening now?'

Kakarot sprung back up and Dr. Briefs, Mrs. Briefs, and Bulma screamed and jumped back.

Vegeta was beyond relieved, but felt a sudden rush of anger and walked over to Kakarot and knocked him upside his head. "What did you do that for?"

Kakarot cradled his head in pain. "What did you do that for?"

"Don't scare me like that stupid!"

"But what did I do?"

"You died you dummy!"

"I did?" Kakarot stood to his feet, still rubbing his head. "I thought you were leaving."

"Yeah, but I didn't think you'd stop breathing! What happened to you?"

"Well..." Kakarot began scratching his head, trying to think about what had just happened. Hatred and fear sprung into his body, as well as shame. He feel back to the ground trembling, remembering the emotions he just felt. "The vision was about me."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. Frieza was there and I was older. I don't know how much older, but I was older. Frieza was going to hurt someone I cared for, and I couldn't stop him. I don't remember who, but I felt numb and I...I don't know anymore than that." Kakarot cuddled himself up into a ball, trying to erase the horrible feelings that he just got. He had never felt so horrible in his whole life.

Bulma stopped crying and walked over to Kakarot and kissed him on his cheek. "It's okay. Everything will be okay. Bad things don't happen to good people."

Kakarot suddenly felt more horrible. "I'm not a good person."

"Sure you are. You and Vegeta."

Kakarot shook his head.

Vegeta placed his hand on his shoulder. "Will you be alright if I leave you here?"

"Even if I'm not, you still need to go."

Vegeta felt like things would only go from bad to worse if he left, but he also felt like this was fate. "No turning back."

Kakarot nodded. "I'll be fine."

Vegeta didn't believe him, but he decided to trust in Kakarot and left anyway.

Mrs. Briefs walked over to Kakarot and picked him up. "You poor thing. Do you want to sleep a little bit?"

Kakarot wanted to say no, but he was exhausted."

"That would be nice." Kakarot's eyes suddenly couldn't seem to stay open and he had to sleep, so he did. He tried to forget to pain that he had just felt, for it was enough to make anyone man whimper.

Vegeta was once again outside, but now just a street away from where Capsule Corp was. There were no Earthlings to watch him leave, for most of the city was gone, stuck in traffic trying to leave, or locked away in their homes.

Vegeta looked back inside Capsule Corp and wondered if Kakarot would be alright, but then the little girl with the strange blue hair came into his mind, and he then stopped wondering. "He'll be alright, but I'm the one going into space looking for a man who I've never heard of."

He sighed as he opened the door and nodded his head. 'It's time.'

The Next Day

"I'm really worried about the Dear. He hasn't woken up since." Mrs. Briefs poured herself a cup of tea and then some for her husband. They were outside on a patio, enjoying their summer. "The poor thing must be hungry."

"Well dear, we've also got to think about ourselves. I mean no one is even in the city anymore because he's here. I'm afraid we'll have to hide him somewhere else, because he's bad for business and if anyone finds out that he's been sleeping, people will come after him and try to kill him."

"Well, we've got to think about the poor Dear. He's not well."

Dr. Briefs took a sip of his tea. "I know."

Bulma was also at the table, but didn't drink any tea. She had a gloomy look on her face and held her favorite doll in her arms, wondering about Kakarot. "Is he gonna die?"

Dr. Briefs nearly chocked on his tea when she said that and then felt saddened for his little girl. Dr. Briefs patted his daughter on her head. "Why would you ask that?"

"Because he didn't look good."

"He'll be okay."

Bulma sighed and left the patio, as well as her little doll. "I'm going to my room." It was strange that other people were not in her house. Many people usually were there at her large home, but no there was no one to serve her, just because Kakarot was there.

She decided not to go to her room, but went to Kakarot's room and watched him sleep. She thought it was funny as he snored so very loudly. 'He's so loud. He's so weird.' She felt as if he was the little brother that she never had and wanted to protect him, even if he was the one who was going to protect her.

She climbed onto his bed and watched him so closely. She watched his stomach fill up with air and empty out as he breathed naturally. 'It's hard to believe that this little guy kills.'

Then instantly, Kakarot sprung up from his bed. "They're here!"

Bulma was startled and fell unto the ground and hurt herself. "Ouch! Don't scare me like that!"

Kakarot ignored her and jumped down off the bed and landed beside her. "Where's your parents?"

"On the patio."

Kakarot felt an explosion in his mind and in an instant, he grabbed Bulma's arm and ran for a window that was in the room.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Where are they?"

Bulma was so scared of jumping out of a window and then floating in the sky to the point where she couldn't answer him, but there was no point.

"Where are..."

Then a powerful and furious blast erupted out of Capsule Corp and Kakarot tried to fly away and save Bulma.

Bulma's heart stood still as her home was destroyed right in front of her very eyes. "Noooooo!" She reached out as if she was trying to save it, but it was gone.

Kakarot had never flown so fast in his whole entire life, but he had to.

A blast came from none other than one of Frieza's men, and it was meant to destroy the city in one swoop. Kakarot was able to save Bulma, but no one else survived.

Kakarot planned to get Bulma out of the city, but she continuously screamed about how she wanted to see her mother and father. Their bodies were not to far from Capsule Corp, but they were together. Buildings were on fire and the people that were still in the city was now dead. There was an eerie sound of death that crept around the city and there was the painful wailing coming from a seven year old girl.

"No! Daddy! Mamma! Please don't leave me! I love you too much! Please don't go! Mamma please don't go! No daddy!"

To Kakarot's horror, he could still clearly see Capsule Corp and he remembered his vision. 'Maybe just because Vegeta's not here, doesn't mean that Earth's going to be okay.'

Kakarot held Bulma in his arms, and whispered in her ears "Everything's gonna be alright."

"But they're gone! Nothing's all right! Nothing!"

"I know how you feel Bulma." Kakarot did know how she felt. Frieza was once again making children parentless.

Kakarot sneered and held her tighter. "I swear I'll get revenge for you. We have the same enemy now and I swear he won't get away with what he's done!"

To be continued...

A/N: But will Frieza get away with what he's done? You'll have to see later. I promise I'll update, if you guys review!
