Chapter 8: Rescue
"Hurry, before they get the noose around his neck." Vegeta urged me to run faster.
"Shut up and let me run. Fly ahead if you want."
"Not without you."
We reached town square to see a huge crowd of people. Kakarott was standing in the center of them, down in a pit that was normally not there.
His hands were banded together with ki restraints. Slowly, the executioner placed a noose around Kakarott's neck. He stood still, accepting his fate.
Vegeta rose up above the crowds heads and shouted for all to hear. "Stop, I forbid you to execute this man!"
The executioner looked up and stopped what he was doing. He motioned for Vegeta to come closer so they could talk without yelling.
Vegeta took my hand and flew us to the center of the pit. "You wished to speak with me?"
The man nodded. "Yes. Prince Vegeta, this man killed your sister. Are you sure you want to save 'im?"
Vegeta nodded firmly. "I know for a fact he was only protecting his mate." He nudged me forward. "Princess Kira was planning on killing her to get to Kakarott. Don't kill a man who was obeying the laws of the gods."
The executioner paled slightly, then nodded and unhooked the noose from Kakarott's neck. He hugged me, kissing my lips. I hugged back, pulling him closer to me.
We stood there in each others embrace as the crowd began to disperse. Vegeta finally couldn't stand it any longer. "How about we go back to the castle? We can get some dinner."
Kakarott let go of me and smiled at Vegeta. "Sure."
The three of us took off towards the castle.
We landed in the garden. Vegeta pulled me closer to him and stepped between Kakarott and me so that he was in the middle.
He led the way to the cafeteria. Kakarott immediately began piling food onto a plate. I waited until he was done, then grabbed two steaks and a couple Happles. Vegeta got a steak and a baked potato.
"So, Kakarott, why did you kill Kira?" Vegeta asked.
"That's a stupid question, Vegeta. She was gonna make me mate her. And I didn't want to."
Vegeta shook his head. "I should have let them kill you."
Kakarott looked shocked. "Why would you do that?"
"Because you can be so stupid. It's a disgrace to the Saiyan name."
The three of us laughed, enjoying each other's company.
Happy ending (maybe). If anyone would like to supply ideas for a coronation, it would be welcome. Once again reveiw or give ideas and I'll continue the story.
