Spyrok opened his eyes. He had blacked out? No...no he had been shoved into his mind room by Sprigetsu. As he slowly came into consciousness, he felt around for the energies of scientists around him. To his relief he found none. But as the world came back into focus, he suddenly gasped in horror.

"Sprigetsu...what have you done?!"

Bodies were strewn everywhere, just as they had been on Planet Vegeta when the wolf was still a puppy and had defended his master from the cruel scientists that tortured his young body. Harvey, the ring leader, was everywhere. His throat torn out and limbs thrown about, torso still leaking guts on the floor, his face bitten clean off. The Savage Legend had made sure his charge was ten times avenged for the torment he had endured at the hands of the man. But Spyrok, instead of feeling justified and at peace, felt a deep sense of terror and discust.

"These were humans...not Saiyans! They hurt me yes...but no one on this planet deserves this that you gave! The mate of Vegeta is not going to be pleased, Sprigetsu! She may destroy me or worse, send me in chains to the Saiyajin no Ouji!"

It occurred to Spyrok that he was unrestrained, so he could run. But his sense of honor told him to forget any escape plans, and face the wrath of the Mate of the Prince. She would come in in about a mere ten minutes and see what his beast had done, and if he were gone, she would assume that it was a purposeful act and have the Prince hunt him down.

"Well there's nothing for it. I just have to wait and face my fate with true dignity." He said, sitting as far from the bloody corpse as he could manage, and dry heaving some. "You really didn't have to take it that far you know."

His beast rumbled a question, and he sighed "No, I'm not saying the man didn't deserve punishment of some kind. But not at your fangs. Not like this."

"Great KAMI! What happened?!"

Spyrok got on his knees and face, thrusting his tail forward in the ultimate sighn of submission as he lowered his eyes from the horrified mate of the Prince. "I'm deeply sorry! I couldn't...He took over and..."

Bulma glanced around, her face betraying her horror. "GOHAN! Get in here kid!"

The hybrid son of Goku burst in, ready to fight or restrain any idiot doctors that would threaten Bulma. His stance changed as soon as he took in the carnage around him. Spyrok gulped hard as Gohan stared at him, then sighed in relief as the black eyes softened, and the young scholar knelt down and put a hand on his back gently.

"It's alright Bulma." He assured the genius "I know what happened, and it wasn't Spyrok's fault. Something tells me that Sprigetsu was just defending his master. Look around you. I sense these scientists in the back there are recovering. But who is actually dead? Who got literally ripped apart? That's who's actually responsible for this. And those near him are dead too, but not destroyed."

"Harvey" Bulma growled "Well serves him right, that creep! He was just asking Spyrok to snap. There's only so much restraint a Saiyan can have when he's being operated on unnecessarily! Only so much fear he'll express before it turns to rage."

"But I told you, it wasn't Spyrok who did this." Gohan said. "It was his body yes, but inside him, there's a savage beast. He doesn't control it, it acts on its own."

"Is that what Vegeta saw attacking Goten?"

"He wasn't attacking Goten. He was romping with him, but yes, that was Sprigetsu"

Spyrok wimpered as he felt Vegeta approaching Capsule Corp. He began to shake violently under Gohan's gentle touch "He's coming." The silverback whispered "He'll see. He'll destroy me."

"I doubt it kid" Bulma smirked "Vegeta is as fond of these guys as your wolf. In fact, he has threatened to incinerate Harvey more than once. He'll laugh if anything."

Spyrok reluctantly rose t his feet. He was filled with relief and shame. "Still, he didn't deserve that kind of end."

Gohan smiled "You're right, and I'm proud of you for not taking pleasure in what is essentially revenge. It shows your quality, Spyrok. My Dad would be proud too."

The Silver Saiyan blushed sheepishly "You think so?"

"I know so" the hybred assured him. He then smiled wide "He'll tell you himself! He's on his way. Guess he and Vegeta sensed your energy spike when Sprigetsu took over."

Spyrok's reaction to the news that his mentor and Earth's Greatest Hero was actually coming right that second, and thus would see what his beast had done...was to immediately hide his energy and go behind a table. This surprised Gohan, and the hybrid noted wryly

"Spyrok, I just said he;d be proud of you. What are you so afraid of?"

"He'll bwe proud that I'm not thrilled with what my beast did. He'll be furious about WHAT was done!" The teen insisted in a small voice.

In affirmation of his fears, Goku was incensed with what he found when he looked at the carnage in the lab, clenching his fists in barely controlled rage There was killing by accident during a fight...there was killing on purpose to end a fight..but this senseless destruction of life without a battle was to him, unforgivable.

"Who did this?" His voice was deep and dark.

Bulma smacked him. "Calm down Goku! Spyrok's beast got pissed with one of my scientists and snapped. It's karma!"

Goku's narrowed eyes searched the room. "Spyrok." He said, folding his arms "Is that true?"

The guilty Silverback camne out of hiding, tail between his legs...literally. "Y...Yes sir." He said in a small voice. "I'm sorry...I couldn't stop him...I..." He gasped, collapsing. "No...no you can't! Well...ok. But only to explain yourself."

Gohan and Goku got in a stance as Sprigetsu came out again. The wolf observed the situation and looked at Goku curiously, head tilted to the side.

"Why do you look so surprised, Saiyajin? I did what needed to be done to save my Master. That is all. I do not kill for pleasure. Relax your stance! I will do no more harm here."

Gohan relaxed, but Goku stayed guarded, scowling heavily. "What you've done to a mere human scientist shows your true value for human life, monster. There's no doubt in my mind that you had another choice...there was another way to defend your host other than this!"

"Monster?! I'M the monster here?!" Sprigetsu crouched down, teeth bared in an open mouthed snarl "After what my Master has gone through, you honestly think I would show mercy to a tormentor that took pleasure in terrifying him to the point where his heart nearly ceased to beat? A fiend who had every intention of dissecting a creature he was told not to lay a finger on and who begged for his life to get release from his situation?! A monster indeed! It was that weasel in human skin who was the real monster here!"

Bulma scowled at the Saiyan that still held his stance "He has a point, Goku. After all, this didm't happen when I was leading the testing. Spyrok was pushed to the point where his beast felt it necessary to step in. That point had to have been breached somehow, and with Harvey's reputation, I'm guessing that it was a pretty drastic move."

"Yeah Dad. Plus, that guy's energy...it was pretty rank. He was a nasty creature himself. I coul;dn't stand him...it reminded me too much of Cell. Toying with Spyrok's emotions, preying on his fears...I understand why Sprigetsu acted the way he did."

Finally, Earth's Greatest Hero let his guard drop.

"Alright. I'll let this slide just once. But I warn you, it better not become a habit."

"I will never promise to not defend my Master." Sprigetsu snarled "However I can assure you that as l;ong as this situation is not repeated, I will refrain from causing so much bloodshed while I do my duty."

"That is...acceptable I guess. Seems like it's the best option we're getting right now." Goku muttered. He then sighed as Vegeta came in and took in everything. Sprigetsu growled low, but was quickly subdued by his host, who took full control, ending up curled up on the floor, asleep.

The Saiyan no Ouji looked at the youth and snorted, his nose in the air, "You were warned, woman. This was your doing as much as anyone's. Did you not hear me last night warning you against such actions? Now your staff is partly dead, and you have a giant mess to clean."

"Oh hush you!" Bulma spat.
