Chapter 5 Memories

Vegeta stood on the cliff staring out at the wasteland before him. This was the place he had come to when he first arrived on Earth. How dare she insult him like that, how dare she remind him of the destruction of his home. He thought she understood, he had been on the verge of letting his guard down, of opening up to her, something he had never done fully before, not even on Namek when he had spoken to Kakarot, telling him what Frieza had done to his race.

He screwed his eyes up as tears threatened to surface, he would not cry! He clenched his fists and bit his bottom lip, "DAMMIT! I WILL NOT BECOME LIKE A WEAK HUMAN!" He screamed these words into the nothingness and powered up, as high as he could, still not a Super Saiyan. He threw punch after punch, kick after kick at the invisible enemies surrounding him, demons of his past. Frieza, King Cold, Zarbon, Dodoria, the Ginyu Force all of these faces flashing before his eyes.

He darted up high into the clear blue sky, the blazing sun burning down upon him. He switched to using ki blasts throwing them in all directions, blowing off chunks of rock from the cliff face, creating large craters, the size of football pitches in the ground. The tears came, flying in the air as he whirled around and around still shooting blasts. He suddenly stopped panting for breath, the air not entering his lungs fast enough.

He fell down, gathering speed as he went, his tears still flowing from his eyes, that though open, saw only his planet, his people, his father.

He hit the ground with a thud, luckily nothing was broken due to his Saiyan build, it still hurt though but he was oblivious to the pain, for no amount of physical damage could drown out the emotional hurt he felt inside him.

Bulma sat typing frantically at one of her many computers, it was getting late, eight o' clock in fact, and Vegeta had not returned. She had checked on her computer files and with her father but the only ship to have left the Earth was a small rocket carrying a surveillance satellite. That meant Vegeta was still on the planet, but she had no idea where. She had not even bothered to call any of the Z-fighters she knew if Vegeta had turned up at one of their places they would have called, besides the likelihood of Vegeta going to stay with one of them was as likely as of her marrying Krillin. Now she was searching through the many satellite pictures for any evidence of Vegeta's whereabouts such as destroyed islands. So far however she had had no luck. Why she was so worried, she had no idea, after all Vegeta was perfectly capable of looking after himself however it was her fault Vegeta had gone and she wanted to apologise. He had been living at Capsule Corp. for over a year, Bulma was well aware of his temper or rather his lack of it at times 'Why does he have to get like that?' she wondered to herself. 'I just hope he's okay…' She continued to search yet nothing was coming up. "Dammit!" She hit the keyboard in her frustration. "BEEP." "Huh," she looked up at the screen and couldn't help but smirk, and her dad had said her own temper would disrupt her work. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the co-ordinates. "I should have guessed, it looks like he to that wasteland were he first fought Goku, if so, let's just hope he's still there." She pressed the button on the intercom. "Doctor Briefs here, how may I help?"

"Dad it's me."

"Bulma? What do you need?"

"I need you to get someone to prepare an air ship for a recovery mission."

"Oh you found him then?"

"I hope so."

"Okay, I'll have one ready with a medical bay inserted in ten minutes. You do need one right?"

"I dunno, but better safe than sorry, he was pretty pissed of when he left and we all remember last time he got pissed of."

"Don't remind me, that Gravity Chamber was expensive to build and just as expensive to fix."

Okay, thanks dad I'll just get ready," She turned the intercom off and pick up the slip with the co-ordinates on it and shut down her computer. She would have to get changed out her lab gear, she couldn't go on a rescue mission dressed like this!
