Chapter 25

Me no own

"And here's one of the last Saiyans alive" said Zarbon looking at Kakarot working diligently on a something, some sort of device. Zarbon wasn't sure what, but he knew it was something. They were in a laboratory on one of Frieza's ships. They were on their way to a planet for purging. "And he had better behave himself, or I will kill him."

"Now, now, now," Canella said standing next to Zarbon, also admiring the work of Kakarot and how fast he had already began constructing part of the gravity machine, some sort of generator, so quickly. "Kakarot can behave himself. Just don't provoke me and you'll have no trouble with the Saiyan."

She was very pleasing to Zarbons' eyes. They weren't of the same race, but looking at her was very pleasing to the eye, for just about any man. She was an unnatural beauty. "You know-"

"Kakarot wouldn't like it, and nor would I." She turned to Zarbon with a full smile and looked him right in the eyes. "Oh come on. I can read your mind, not that I would have to." She rolled her eyes. "I am with this Saiyan at the moment."

"And a brainless Saiyan can make you happy?"

"He's not brainless" she told Zarbon with frustration. She had explained it many times. "His whole way of thinking is different. He's never felt this way about anyone or anything before, no one really does. He's thinking, not how he used to, but he's definitely thinking. If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be demonstrating his genius by constructing this device" Canella said. "This will help him kill Vegeta, and I think the worst thing we can do, is make a low level Saiyan beat the mighty Prince Vegeta."

"Hand me the bottle" Bulma said to Vegeta. She had finally woken up, but her head was killing her and she didn't know if it was mentally or physically. She kept taking aspirins and hoped that everything Canella did to her would all go away. "It feels like my head his going to explode. I've never heard of such power."

Vegeta gave her a bottle of medicine. "Well, now that blasted idiot is with her, being completely controlled by her. How could that idiot let something like this happen to him?"

"Hey" Bulma yelled "he may be a stupid jerk, but he was sick when it happened. He probably couldn't defend himself. It's not his fault, Vegeta!"

"I don't care! He'll be punished for his insubordination, whenever I get my hands on him."

"Will you kill him?" Bulma asked sadly.

"He's the enemy. He's probably working for Frieza now, taking orders from that buffoon! If he's foolish enough to do such a thing, then I have to. No one betrays me, and I mean no one!"

"He didn't mean to!"

"I don't care!" he yelled. "Kakarot has to be terminated."

Bulma sighed heavily. She couldn't believe that her childhood friend, the man who protected her, watched over her, and survived against all odds was now her enemy, working for the man who ruined her life. Kakarot was more than just a man. He was family to her. "Can't we try at least to turn him back to the way he's supposed to be? I mean, if he sees Chi-Chi was with his child then-"

"That's the sort of naïve thinking that will get you killed. People can't change like that Bulma. His whole mind was tampered with. You've got to listen to me when I say this, and don't bring it up again. Kakarot is the enemy, not your friend. He'll kill you in a matter of moment, no matter what you say, or no matter what you do. He wants you dead, and will kill you, if he has to Bulma. It's a fact of life. Get over it."

She sighed. 'There's got to be some way. We can't just give up on him that easily.' "Vegeta" she was beginning to regret calling his name to tell him about the invention she had been working on. It would help him kill her best friend. "I uh…well…you haven't been in Kakarot's training room for a while, and he got sick and hadn't been using it, so I turned it into…well…my greatest invention."

Vegeta seemed intrigued. "Go on."

"Well, it's a gravity chamber. It should help you get stronger. It right now can only go up to one hundred times Earth's gravity."

"Why only one hundred?" he asked arrogantly. "Planet Vegeta's gravity was already ten times that of your pathetic planet."

Bulma grumbled. "Hey! I was just trying to help you stupid Saiyans out! I doubt you'll be able to take one hundred times normal gravity. You'll be flattened like a pancake. You can try it out in the highest possible setting and die! I don't care. Go ahead and try it, and whatever you do, do not blow up the spaceship, Vegeta!"

"As if I could be crushed by your foolish invention, woman." He walked out of his room and there was his daughter staring at him. She probably just wanted some attention, maybe some love and affection, but he couldn't afford to give it. He had work to do. Vegeta ignored her, even though she reached for him to pick her up. 'I've got to train to defeat Frieza. I've got to beat him and destroy Kakarot.'

His daughter put her head down and began sobbing. "Papa?" she asked. He continued to ignore her, and she began to cry. She cried, and she cried, and she cried. Bulma already had a headache and didn't honestly feel like messing around with Vegeta's little girl, but someone had to help her. Suddenly, her crying ceased as she felt someone pick her up and rock her back and forth. It was Colly who picked her up and smiled at her. She still wanted her father, her grandfather, or brother.

"Thank goodness, it stopped" Bulma said. "I'm glad" she sighed in relief. "I hope my head stops spinning too!"

'You are very fortunate Kakarot' Canella said as Kakarot sat on her bed in her chambers. 'I almost envy you, for you feel a love that I am unable to feel or comprehend. I've never felt that emotion. I've been alone all my life.' She was communicating with him telepathically, so no one else on the ship would be able to hear their conversation. 'You certainly are an interesting fellow, my dear Kakarot. Soon, you and I shall rule the universe, hand in hand.'

'Just tell me what I must do, and I will do it.'

'Just continue on making your little invention and continue loving me, and soon you and I shall rule the universe. After you finish making the gravity chamber, you must train until you are strong enough to defeat Prince Vegeta. After that, then you will and must defeat Frieza, if you are strong enough to defeat him, then you and I would have no one in our way. Frieza's might and resources are more powerful than my own. If you can defeat him, then the universe is ours for the taking.'

'I understand' Kakarot said telepathically back to her. 'I shall do what you wish.'

'How long until the gravity chamber is completed?'

'It will take at least month.'

'A month? It will take a whole month?' She grunted. 'Then I suppose I should be thankful that Frieza wanted you to stretch your legs out and test your tremendous power. After all, I can't have you doing nothing while Vegeta trains in that gravity chamber and increases his power. After all, you Saiyans do increase your power after every battle, especially after ever near fatal injury. You might just keep up, or catch up.'

'Yes Canella. I shall do my best.'

'I know you will Kakarot.' There was a knock at Canella's door and a foot solider came in. "And what is it that you want? Can you not see that I am very busy with Kakarot at the moment?" She was highly annoyed with everyone at this point of time. She wanted to play with her little doll.

"Yes I see, but Zarbon has informed me that we are landing very soon and it's going to be a rocky landing."

"I understand, but Kakarot and I can manage. Don't ever bother me again."

He bowed to her and let her be. 'Kakarot, all of Frieza's people are just so bothersome.'

'Would you like me to kill them?'

'No. If you and I miraculously survived while everyone else died, then we couldn't exactly pull that over on Frieza. He was already suspicious when I told him that Dadoria was killed by Prince Vegeta. I just want you to know that I'd like you to kill all of them when the proper time comes.'

'I understand.'

"I can't believe you got this kid to shut up" Bulma said handing Vegeta's darling little girl a doll, but she didn't want anything from Bulma, and even though it appeared to be her favorite doll, she ripped its head off and began to cry. "She hates me." Bulma said. "Amazing, it's absolutely amazing how much this little girl hates me!"

Colly only laughed with the girl and played with her. They were in her room. Bulma didn't really have one anymore, ever since she started sleeping with Vegeta, but she wasn't complaining.

"Hey, I want you to stay here while I go check up on Chi-Chi. Colly nodded as Bulma walked off to Chi-Chi's room, which wasn't too far down the hall. Chi-Chi was looking at her window into the deep void of space. "How ya hold'n up?" she asked. Chi-Chi didn't have the heart to answer. "You should at least make yourself something, or I'll do it. Your baby needs to eat."

"I can do it myself, thank you" Chi-Chi finally said. The thought of Bulma cooking always made everyone feel uneasy. Bulma knew that would get her to speak.

"Hey Chi-Chi, you know he's not himself." She smiled. "But we can get him back to normal. You just wait. As soon as we get the chance, we'll get to him and everything will be better. We just have to make him remember us and-"

"What if I don't want him back…?" Chi-Chi finally faced Bulma. "I've grown to have feelings for him, feelings that I didn't know I had. He's always had feelings for me, but me…I fell for him so fast that I forgot what he was."

"Please don't tell me this is the 'I'm going to kill Kakarot and Vegeta to avenge the death of my father' speech again, because I don't think Vegeta's in the mood to hear it, regardless of the fact that you're pregnant, Chi-Chi."

"It's nothing like that. It's just that, his loyalties haven't always been with me. They've always belonged to Vegeta. He has fighting in his blood and I can't deny it. Now that he and Vegeta are at war, all of his bonds that tied him down before are broken. I don't matter, and neither does his sister. No one matters except his mission."

"His mission?" Bulma questioned. "Do you know what you're saying? You're not even making any sense! Don't you know anything? Your dear Kakarot is being brainwashed! He's not going to abandon you for any other reason besides that, but I promise you, if he knew that you were pregnant, then he wouldn't be like this. He'd-"

"He doesn't know, but he probably wouldn't care." She sighed. "I think I've had enough of fighting. I'm absolutely done. I think I'd rather go back and live with the rest of the survivors of Earth on that little adorable planet, very far from here." She rubbed her stomach. "It was a very long time ago. Kakarot and I first laid eyes on each other a very long time ago, and now everything we've ever done, everything we were going to do doesn't even matter. Nothing matters anymore. All I have is what he left me." She sighed. 'I wish things were different.'

"Chi-Chi" Bulma said sadly. 'The poor girl.'

"Don't say anything Bulma, it's alright. I was a fool to fall for a Saiyan anyway."

"Don't blame anything on him. He didn't do anything. It's all Frieza's fault."

"It's always Frieza's fault!" She yelled with frustration. "Frieza did this, Frieza did that. It's funny, because I've never seen this Frieza guy, but I have met Kakarot, and I know all the things he's done in order to make my life miserable, including leaving me with his kid." She grunted. "I guess he's just a stupid nineteen year old anyway."

"Hey, you're taking this too far!" Bulma reached out to touch her, but she felt her body began to lift and so did Chi-Chi's. "Are we flying?"

"I can't fly" Chi-Chi said. "What's going on?"

"The gravity chamber." Vegeta looked at the control panel and wondered if he should just go to the max and test him limits. "I might as well." He started out with ten, just for curiosity. 'Hmm…feels like home. Now for something a little harder…' Vegeta's body soon began to rise up, but he wasn't doing it himself. 'What's going on in this blasted ship?' He turned off the gravity machine while he could still reach the controls, but soon floated higher than that. 'I can't get control of my body.'

In Colly's room, she too had begun to rise up along with the young child with her, but Colly could move her own body, and everyone else's as well. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" she screamed, having everyone's thought's rush into her head. She was going crazy as her power was steadily increasing. "Help me…Kakarot!" Everything, all of her horrible memories began to pour out of her head as she remembered what they had done to her, on Frieza's ship. "Ahhhhhhh!"

"What's the matter?" Canella asked Kakarot. They had just landed on the planet and Kakarot already looked uneasy. "Did you have a vision or is something coming?"

"Something's wrong, with Colleen." He said almost worried. "She's out of control."
