Chapter Eight: For Him,
The reencarnation's body vaporized into brown ash, blown off the diamond shaped planet with a strong trade wind. In the middle of the ominous purple planet stood a barren tree with lushous trailways of small shurbs and beautiful varieties of flowers and the supposed three most powerful men within this universe, in silence after Uub's destruction. Spineless without a inch of emotion- abnormally unfase by death and a cynical laughter bellowed, but it was from none. Behind the mighty men stood a small weasel who controls them all in a much more powerful way than he ever did before- no one could've predict this future would've been riddle with such familiar essence of black magic.
"That was revenge," the yellow bug-like creature turned, looking up at the three men before sending a message mentally, bringing them to their knees- heads bow and eyes casted away from their master.
"Now my minions, it's time to send a message to the precious warriors of Earth. Vegeta will rue the day he used my magic for his own desires!"
-And they stood simultaneously in preparation as a mystic orb floated towards the creature and his boney yellow ligaments danced over as he continued, "Babidi never forgets who crossed him." Shouting his magic words, the crystal ball showed a view of Vegeta on the lookout set on Earth, approaching the Namekian guardian unknowing he's every move is being watched.
"Paparapapa!"
On the well-known pathway, trekking across the traditional white spotless tiles of the lookout Vegeta suddenly cease motion, with Pan in his grasp, as a cold unexplainable sensation washed over the saiyan. He couldn't shake the feeling an enemy was near. Ignoring that Gohan should be right on his tail, literally, Vegeta change Pan's position so that the young girl was on his bare back, secured tightly by their fasten tails and dropped into a fighting stance bring confusion to the faces of Dende and Mr. Popo.
"Get back!" Vegeta shouted to them as they step foward in concern. Transforming into super saiyan, his aura covered Pan as the girl twitched at the yellow, transparent flames latched onto her but cause no harm. Her game face was on instantly, matching Vegeta's, as the infiltration of her future mate's power seem to heighten her senses- something or someone filled with evil was definitely nearby.
Why couldn't anyone else feel it? Pan wondered as her father, Gohan, teleported still enraged by Vegeta's past antics but there was a sudden lull in the oldest hybrid's movements, as surprise coated his features like glitter and body paint. The cold, deadly expression of the Prince made Gohan unexpectedly fear for not only him but his child as well, as the saiyan mirrored his past self. Murder twinkled in his soulless orbs and his ki flared to Gohan's closeness- Vegeta didn't know who all the newly exposed evil belong to but there's no way in the hell which he'd already experienced, was he allowing a soul near his untouched, young mate.
Shortly, Earth's large group of protectors materialised on the ever, peaceful platform that is the Lookout. The group could only spectate as Vegeta's unstable nature rear itself and his aura peaked with harden eyes. Bulla took a brave step forward, towards her father with a face of concern only to be stopped by her brother. Trunks lay a gentle palm on Bulla's shoulder and said,
"I don't think approaching is wise, he doesn't seem like himself."
"What's wrong with him?" Goten questioned taking his mate back into his grasp, looking on at Gohan turned back, wondering how his older brother is taking all this.
"He's gone primal." King Vegeta informed from his spot on the roofing of the lookout with the leader of Saiyan army, Bardock, beside. "My son; your father; Vegeta, is sensing something.. unwanted. It's awoken this ancient side of him as the enemy doesn't seem to have a face and the girl, have yet to bare his mark."
With twisted bodies, everyone absorbed the foreign information that presented one underlying question.
"What can stop this side?" Gohan asked the question as a smirked flickered on the King's face momentarily and Videl flew in from afar, alongside the hovercraft with Bulma and ChiChi inside. The women landed and was sucked into the conversation as they walked in with a bag, bouncing around with capsules. The stoppage only increase the fear swimming in Gohan's heart for his child, more so did the look upon King Vegeta's face as the older man pointed to Pan, his seven year old daughter.
"Only the girl can stop this."
Then, the darkness plagued Vegeta's line of view and he shaked off Pan in a fury. The evil beckon him to come closer and closer to the edge of the Lookout with raised fist and the Prince fell to his knees as evil consumed, attacking his mind in a unstoppable force of nature; calling his mind, body and soul to be controlled; to bow in a stronger yet commonplace fashion. He experienced this before. His veins bulged as the Prince roared out of control and his power surged to new heights- Super Saiyan three, a level attained when he was in his homeland. The lookout shook at the magnitude of his power causing many to spring into action and flee to the sky for safety as the tiled crumble- turning into dust as his ki continue to climb.
"What's happening Father?!" Trunks shouted as the wind whipped against strains of his purple hair with his mother in his grasp. Bulma only focus on her son in admiration; he mirrored future Trunks in every possible way by saving her yet again. Her attention turned to the dark Prince she came to love in remembrance- this happened before, Bulma thought, but who's doing this to him?
A voice suddenly boomed within, bouncing off the inner walls of Vegeta's mind in a painful volume. Wanting nothing more to shout it off as he was dragged unwantedly into a scenario, deep within his conscious and the Prince eyes unpredictably void colour of the green for this ascended level. Flickering back to the usual dark iris split secondly- Vegeta utter the name of his attacker as he fell off the Lookout, completely unconscious.
"Babidi.."
"Nooo!" Pan rushed, flying down after him as he dropped from the sky like a meteorite; aflamed and with speed, frightening Yajirobe on the way down. Luckily the young girl catch him with a bit of a struggle, turning so her back brushes across the forest floor as she protected his head. Coughing, with her back on the lush landes of Earth, Pan's face contoured in pain as she tried to move from beneath but as soon as her little fingers brushed against Vegeta's temple- Pan was casted into the realm of Vegeta's subconscious, now controlled by Babidi.
-And she followed in her soon to be mate's footsteps and passed out.
The scenery became one of supernatural. Well, more than usual. As if she was flung through a portal, Pan landed gasping and her surroundings attract her like metal to magnets. Darkness blanketed the area as if it was a centralised room with doors leading deeper within, but every location have a preview, place and time hanging above the doorframe.
Paddling across the ground, Pan footfalls didn't echo as if she was floating around in a mysterious world of some sort. The closest door was crafted in gold, decorated with royal jewels and heavy arm and as Pan touched the handle, it came alive. The preview blasted with a baby's cry, causing the young girl to jump backwards in fright. The scene continued where a beautiful woman came into view, shushing the child gently- trying her best to calm him but to no avail until a man entered with a familiar widow's peak and a goatee.
"Vegeta, my son. That's quite some lungs you got there," Younger looking King Vegeta wrapped his arms around the waist of the beautiful woman and continued, "He got that from you." The woman blushed, her face lighting up with a dazzling smile but said nothing.
Pan gasped as the preview ended. She could only deduce that was a memory of Vegeta's during his early childhood, but why is she seeing this?
"Where am I...?" Pan asked the dark space as the screen blended back into the shadows. Moving forward, Pan greeted another door but this time of a different colour entirely. It stood out strangely amongst the stillness, resembling broken pieces of wood struggling to remain assemble in the door structure. The handle glazed in pointed pieces, stained with dry blood, as if it pained to know what lay beyond.
Pan glanced back at the magnificent door before and compare to the new one, infront of her, wondering just what happened from then to now. Bravely, Pan touched the handle and the preview commence. The vast galaxy seem to unwind right before his cold, distant eyes. It seem to be a ship of some kind, travelling rapidly through space but time seem to still for him. Vegeta was older in this scene, around Pan age with a royal red cape attached to his snuggle fitted armour, however he looked so drained of life, in a way a young child should never be. Then the door slide open with a 'whoosh' and little Vegeta shut his eyes tight hiding his fear, but Pan felt it as the white lizard like creature slither across the floor, his tail swooshing behind him in joy- contrasting to Vegeta's tighten one. Quickly, the creatures tail slammed against the floor making little Vegeta jump.
"Why aren't you bowing to your master?!" The creature phased out catching little Vegeta off guard, wrapping it's tail, painfully around his neck and then the beating begun.
Pan trimbled as Vegeta's screams blasted in the space. She pictured his tears; his pain as it was a nevet ending assault on his small body.
"Ohh Vegeta," The lizard mock before locking the door with a click and licking his pale lips at little Vegeta's cowardly form, "That's quite some lungs you got there.."
The last thing Pan heard was a ear splitting scream before she ran tear streaken and unknowingly, towards Vegeta's imprisonment within his own mind- dashing face first into his restraint physique, interrupting everything. Pan didn't even wait to interpret the scenario, wiping her fallen tears and observing Vegeta's chained form, the young girl walked forth, starring into the eyes of the strongest being of this universe and their controller, Babidi.
-And she asked one thing, ignoring the fear that bubbled within but she wasn't doing this for her. She was doing this for that little boy in those previews. The innocent boy robbed and abused now grown into a man, misunderstood and portrayed as evil and wicked. She was doing this for him; for Vegeta.
So Pan took a knee, with a bowed head, pushing Vegeta's voice out her mind and asked,
"Give me fourteen days for us to prepare and if we're not ready by then," Pan paused, looking into Babidi's sickly green eyes, ".. then you will take me."
The creature grinned wickedly over Pan's head in Vegeta's heated direction as the Saiyan struggle and shouted in refusal. Agreeing, Babidi turned away, nearing his controlled minions and spoke, "I'll be back for you my dear, in fourteen days time."
Then Babidi shouted his magical word once more and the unmated pair awoke in the real world with a gasp.
