Chapter 4

Lost Friend

Note from author: Hope you like the story so far. I'm trying to figure Vegeta out some more and hopefully you aren't disappointed. – WarriorAsag82

Vegeta flew over the landscape with Gohan behind him. Piccolo flew behind them also and in the distance they saw stupid Krillin. The bald man who Vegeta knew was lucky to be alive. It was obvious who was surprised to see him. The Namik was one, and Krillin was the other.

"Vegeta! I'm surprised to see you." They stopped flying and Gohan exchanged greetings with Krillin.

"Bald one don't speak to me. We are far enough, turn and fight me Gohan." He turned to Gohan. He needed a challenge. He needed to confront someone. He needed that time to fight.

Gohan watched Vegeta worriedly. He didn't know about fighting him. This wasn't the time nor the place, but he was tired of studying. He wanted a break and he didn't have his father to fight. He needed someone who could match him and give him a good fight. Unfortunately, Piccolo wasn't the one to do that. He needed someone more. He figured Vegeta could help him out in that regard.

"You going at it?" Krillin asked Gohan.

"Its his idea. He needs the challenge. I've been in the books for a while. I need to keep up with my training and I figure Vegeta is a good outlet." Piccolo grunted and frowned.

"Vegeta doesn't care about your well being. I wouldn't trust him yet." Vegeta crossed his arms and just floated there as if waiting for him to make the first move. Krillin looked at Vegeta then back at Gohan.

"I don't know Piccolo, I think Vegeta has learned the meaning of friendship. Give him a chance, unless you think you're up to par to fight Gohan or Vegeta, cause I know I'm not." Piccolo frowned.

"This isn't the time for this Krillin. Vegeta is ruthless when he fights." Vegeta grunted. Gohan could take care of him self.

"Let the boy make his own decisions Namik. I don't think you have ever saved his life before." Vegeta was his sarcastic self. It has been two years since the Cell games and two years since his biggest mistake of his life. Showing off, he lost his father. He lost his friend. He lost his family. He was all by him self now and felt as if he failed his father. He saved the world but lost his family in the process.

"What happens if he wants to kill you?" Piccolo was always paranoid of Vegeta ever since their first encounter. This was definitely nothing new.

"I'll take my chances Piccolo. I need the exercise. Come on Vegeta, let's go." He shed the hat he had been wearing and noticed Krillin float over to a mountain cliff. Piccolo just floated off to the side. Vegeta gave a sly smile, a very sly smile. This was a smile that said, don't worry I'll beat your ass, kind of smile.

"Ready to get yourself pulverized?" Gohan put himself into position. He was ready for Vegeta. He was ready for whatever he could throw at him.

"I'm ready to meet you and beat you Vegeta." Gohan smiled at the rush he was feeling. He just hoped his practice would hold up for he knew Vegeta has been training hard. From what the conversation he over heard on the phone is Vegeta has a training facility where he works out all day in under extensive gravity to meet and beat the level his father achieved, which would never happen.

"Lets g…" Before Gohan could end his thought Vegeta came at him with a left punch then a right kick so fast that Gohan had to take a second to get into gear. Gohan blocked with his right hand and left leg. The hand punched at his face as Gohan moved back from the intense power behind the punch. They were powering up and in an instant they would be only on the on button as Gohan called it. They knew not to go Super Sayine ever again cause of the cell games, but now it was different. He will beat Vegeta.

Vegeta fought with intensity as his legs and hands and arms went the speed far beyond what was at the cell games. Gohan remembered Vegeta's match with cell. The hands were blocked with great effort. They flew and met. They fired blast at each other, blocking it with one motion or moving in the air. They flew in the air and flew back and forth from one another. They were in an all out match. The sparks were definitely flying.

He wasn't sure how long they fought but it felt like hours. They kept going at it and they were getting sweaty. He was sure Vegeta had the upper hand though for he had been training hard but Gohan was getting in the swing of it again. Soon Gohan was getting the upper hand and things were getting intense.

Vegeta grunted as Gohan punched him to the gut. He wasn't in a good mood. His training had paid off for the last few hours as he proceeded to pulverize this little squirt into nothing. This is what he came to do. He was getting a thrill though but he would never tell Gohan that. He was a challenge he gave him that much. He had to do more though, to beat him. He had to win.

He moved his hand getting Gohan in the jaw and sending him to the ground. He flew down following his punch. Krillin yelling in the background to stop being so rough it's just a sparing match, but Vegeta was serious enough not to hold back. He can heal.

Gohan hit the ground like a ton of brinks and felt the floor move beneath him as he saw Vegeta fly at him. Gohan flew out of the way and met him half. He would not loose to Vegeta.

Vegeta was very impressed by Gohan being able to move at all. The force he put into the last move would have killed any normal man. Gohan was definitely an opponent worth watching. He moved fast after Gohan as he flew back, with his lip bleeding now. He grunted and flew hitting Vegeta in the stomach sending him backwards with a cry of pain.

Gohan had to hit Vegeta back so he got him in the stomach. He figured the stomach was a good place to hit. He was bleeding now and Vegeta was sent against the mountain below where Krillin stood. Things were getting violent and Piccolo was yelling to tone it down. Gohan was determined to win and he bet Vegeta was determined to win as much as he was. This was the Sayine way and matter in which they fight. They were the type of species of being that loved to fight and loved the satisfaction of winning. He would win and he knew it. His father always won over Vegeta and so would Gohan. He just needed more time, and more time he had.

Vegeta looked mad now as he flew at him. They met half way and there was a loud crash and thunder sound from the intense powerful bang between exchange of arm, leg, and hands. This was definitely intense and exciting for Gohan. They both exchanged a small smile and then it disappeared. They were getting serious and who ever won this battle will have something to carry home, and hopefully Piccolo won't get in the way like he yelled he'd do. This was a personal and professional match and they went at it as if there was no end in sight.

Vegeta relished in this fight. And as they exchanged another powerful match between hands, the sound that flooded the skies and the color of energy blast he sent Gohan was definitely something to be said. Things were getting toasty and Vegeta was determined to win this match.

He was worried as Krillin watched the match. Sayines, he thought to himself. They were having fun as he stood here biting his fingers. They were fighting as if it was more then a sporting match. They were competitive creatures as he knew but this was ridiculous. They were both bleeding really hard and really black and blue now. They were beat up to bits. They weren't stopping either. He knew it had to be no later then one o'clock and they started at nine in the morning. Who would win? He bet on Gohan or it might be a tie. He didn't know. He would find out though. He surely will find out.
