Title: Crimson-dipped Obsession
Summary: Bulma Briefs' life made a horrifying turn when an obsessed Saiyan prince arrived on Earth and wanted her to be his! What's more to this alien was a dark secret that has caused a change in the history of Dragon Ball Z, and if it is revealed, it holds the fate of the entire universe.
Genre: Horror, Psychological Thriller, Romance, Mystery
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. Some events in this fan fic is also inspired by Mirai Nikki and DBXV.
Warning: You might find Vegeta out of character in this story as this fic is made as an answer to the question 'What if Vegeta was a yandere?'. Vegeta is originally and generally a tsundere. A Tsundere is a character who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warm and caring side over time. The yandere personality is the exact opposite of a tsundere personality. A Yandere is a character who is genuinely kind, loving, sweet or gentle, but can suddenly switch to being aggressive or deranged. (From wiktionary).
If you don't like Vegeta to be like a yandere then I suggest you to turn back now and stop reading as this story also contains lots of blood, gore and violence.
Author's Notes: Hello everyone! Here's the Eleventh chapter of Crimson-dipped Obsession! I wrote this chapter in a longer time than what I thought so thanks so much for waiting. Also, I put some fan arts for this fan fiction on my tumblr account, (prince-vegeta-universe) and on my deviantArt account, (Jiita), so please do check them out! Enjoy! :)
Chapter 11: The Ginyu Force
[762 A.D. December 19, Planet Namek]
Bulma and Gohan stared in fear with their mouths gaping at the brutality they just witnessed Vegeta had done towards Frieza's right-hand man. To Gohan, who had sensed Zarbon's power when they first investigated the area where they found Frieza and his minions, he couldn't even believe that Vegeta just defeated that freak very easily. He was terrified of Frieza and his men, but he feels that the Saiyan Prince is an even more terrible monster than Frieza. After what he just witnessed, is Vegeta really on their side or was Krilin right about thinking that he was only pretending? Were the children in the mirror spaceship right? Would Vegeta suddenly turn on them once he gets what he wants? For a moment, he wondered if Vegeta's claim on stealing the Dragon Balls from a temple were true. He remembered the time when he and Krilin sensed some Namekians die on a village somewhere near them. However, during the time of the killing, they didn't even sense Vegeta being the murderer. He knew the prince could control his power at will if he wanted to. So, if Vegeta was the one who killed those villagers… how did he do it without them sensing him?
Is it even possible? Or maybe Vegeta was telling the truth? He didn't know.
Gohan gulped as he just stared at Vegeta, who was standing still over a few feet in front of him and a terrified Bulma. The prince remained still as he held Zarbon's remains, with his left hand while his left is still positioned in a way when he impaled and blasted Zarbon's entire trunk. All that remains of Zarbon's body were the upper body, consisting of the head, neck and shoulders, which were in Vegeta's grasp. The lower part, which consisted of the pelvic part and legs, sprawled on the ground near his feet. The rest of Zarbon's meat, blood and gore were scattered on the grass before him. Vegeta was in a dark trance, the sight of blood and gore is still making his blood lust rise. He wanted to kill even more. His fingers twitched, wanting to kill someone so badly. His eyes glowed crimson even more, his mind was about to shut down.
At the same moment, Gohan sensed Vegeta's dark energy boiled over. "This is bad!" he thought and tensed. He mentally prepared if Vegeta would try to attack them again, just as he did to him on the mirror spaceship. He knew he was no match for Vegeta but he will do anything to protect Bulma and himself.
The smell of fresh blood was strong, and it's making Bulma nauseous. She snapped out of her shock and quickly ran into the rest room in her Capsule House to throw up. Gohan quickly followed her; anxious about whatever she was feeling.
"Bulma-san!" Gohan yelled as he went after Bulma.
Bulma's name snapped Vegeta from his trance; he blinked as if waking up from a hazy dream. He looked down at his left hand and found Zarbon's head on it. He squirmed in disgust and threw the gory thing away from his hand. He quickly ran inside the Capsule House to find Gohan standing in front of the restroom's door and asking Bulma if she was alright. He could hear Bulma throw up and smell her vomit. He walked towards where Gohan is, he saw Gohan tensed as he turned around and faced him.
"What's the matter, Gohan?" he asked innocently.
Gohan was scowling back at him, "I… I don't know… if we can really trust you or not… Let me ask you again, w-where did you got that Dragon Ball?" he asked carefully.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you I stole it from the temple I saw completely unguarded?"
Gohan suddenly remembered what he heard from Frieza. That the Dragon Balls were delegated to seven Namekian Village Elders across the entire Planet Namek, so that means that each of the Dragon Balls was within one village.
"The villagers… The villagers, did you kill them all?" Gohan asked carefully, hoping not to provoke Vegeta to kill him this instant.
Vegeta shrugged with complete indifference, "Yes, I did. So what about it?"
It was as if Gohan was struck by thunder when the shock hit him. So it was Vegeta who did the killing on the village he and Krilin sensed. Soon, his shock turned into anger. How dare he do this to the innocent villagers?
"W-Why did you do it, Vegeta-san?! How dare you kill the Namekians! You were no different than Frieza!" Gohan screamed in anger.
Vegeta stared at Gohan, wondering why he was getting angry at him, "Well, I asked them nicely to give me the Dragon Ball but they didn't want to give it to me so I killed them all. I found the Dragon Ball in the temple unguarded so I stole it."
"Of course, it is unguarded because you killed the guards!"
Vegeta stared at Gohan, his eyes becoming cold and completely emotionless. This was a warning look. He let out a sigh, "You know, there was no other way to retrieve it and prevent Frieza from obtaining all seven."
"We are really preventing him from obtaining them, but what about you? I don't know if you are pretending to be helping us in order to get what you want and in the end you will just turn on us and get the wish for yourself! I don't even know if you are our friend or enemy!"
The Saiyan Prince simply watched Gohan let out his anger and fear of him. He was hurt by the words the boy just told him but he remained his cold look to avoid any display of emotions. For a moment he listened and didn't speak until the boy was calm. A few moments passed and Vegeta finally spoke,
"I am neither both." His voice was hoarse, he sounded hurt.
Gohan raised his head, what does it mean? He's neither a friend nor an enemy?
"You can think whatever you want, boy. I could care less. All I want and care about are nothing but one… It's Bulma."
Gohan blinked. Vegeta walked forward and knocked lightly at the door of the rest room. "Bulma, are you alright?"
No response, he could smell tears and could hear hiccoughing inside. In his heart, he felt sorry for Bulma for witnessing how he killed Zarbon. He should have taken the battle somewhere else.
"I'm sorry you saw all of that. Please do calm down and come out. I will clean up the rest."
He turned to Gohan with a cold but angry stare. Gohan gulped. The prince shook his head, visibly annoyed and walked out of the house. He saw that the mess he did was already cleaned up and found a familiar figure standing before him, holding Zarbon's upper remains. Vegeta turned his head on his left, telling the figure to follow him elsewhere silently and both blasted off towards another island on Planet Namek. While flying, they had a conversation.
"By the looks on your face, you messed up again like you did last time, eh?"
"Shut the fuck up, Towa." Vegeta told her.
"I told you to be careful on what you do or she won't be yours. How are you supposed to explain to her, Gohan or even Krilin about what happened?"
Vegeta gritted his teeth in annoyance. He doesn't really care about what Gohan or Krilin would think of him but Bulma is of another matter. Towa was right. If he wanted Bulma to be his, he needed to impress her, not scare her almost every time. But he was a Saiyan, he needed the drive to kill and to destroy in the most brutal ways possible. In that way, he could satisfy his own primal blood lust but if it scares his love, what should he do? He cannot just forget who and what he is! "I need a perfect timing and a perfect plan…"
"What do you mean by that?"
Vegeta simply let out an evil grin, immediately formulating his plan. "Heh!"
[762 A.D. December 19, Planet Namek]
Frieza stood before the giant glass wall that revealed the beauty of Planet Namek before him. Despite the planet's magnificence that was before him, the galactic overlord didn't pay any attention to any of it. There was something more in his mind. Just two more Dragon Balls and he will live for eternity. He let out a creepy smirk at the thought of ruling the universe forever.
His thoughts were interrupted with a voice outside his door, "Frieza-sama, I have a report to present."
"Enter," he ordered. The yellow skinned soldier went inside and bowed before him. Without looking, he ordered the soldier, "Report."
"Frieza-sama, I have found a village, but all the villagers on it have been killed."
Frieza abruptly turned around, "What?! But the Dragon Ball…!"
"The Dragon Ball is missing, milord."
Frieza growled, "Could it be Vegeta's doing?" he suspected.
"I highly doubt it, milord. The Namekians were killed using several kinds of blades, like swords, spears and the like."
"It doesn't sound like Vegeta. He doesn't use weapons. If it isn't him, then who could it be? Could it be those two weirdlings?" Frieza wondered. "By the way, where is Zarbon-san?"
The soldier blinked in confusion, "H-He isn't here yet?"
Frieza wondered to himself why was Zarbon taking so long? Could it be that he found Vegeta? Was that the reason of that strange darkness and earthquake earlier? Damn, if they only had scouters they wouldn't be having a hard time locating those last two Dragon Balls. He was angry that his plans were thwarted because of two little insufferable weirdlings.
"Appule-san!" Frieza called. A purple skinned reptilian soldier with spots wearing black battle armor entered and bowed before the emperor. "Contact the Ginyu force on Planet Frieza. Tell them to come in here and don't forget the updated scouters."
"Yes, milord!" Appule said and went out to follow his lord's order.
The yellow skinned soldier asked, "Pardon me for asking this, milord. But why do you need to contact the Ginyu force?"
Frieza frowned at him, and with an eye beam, the yellow soldier was turned into ashes. He hated being questioned by low class soldiers. He turned around and stared at the scenery before him without really appreciating it. "I could feel that Vegeta isn't the same person as he used to be. If it is really true that the strange earthquake and darkness was his doing, and if he really did kill both Dodoria and Zarbon, then he has grown more powerful than I thought."
Who would have thought that the little boy he spared would grow this powerful? What a waste. If only Vegeta didn't rebel against him then he could be his most trusted soldier. All these years, Vegeta was his most favorite. He doted on him, congratulated him on all of his successes, stood up for him, and he treated the prince as if he was his own child. Frieza always counted on Vegeta to become his most powerful and ruthless soldier, a perfect duplicate of himself. He made sure that the name of the Saiyan Prince would be feared across the galaxies as the Legendary Destroyer of Worlds. It seemed that in all the battles he sent Vegeta into, the prince would use that opportunity to get stronger. In all these years, he realized that the more the Saiyans battle, the more they get stronger, most especially when they were sent on a brink of death. All the years he was with Vegeta, he always had a strange premonition that the Saiyan would one day stand up against him. He ignored it though, because he will never accept the fact that a Saiyan would ever defeat him in battle. Unless, of course if Vegeta is one of two things… Two things he feared the most.
The Legendary Super Saiyan and the Super Saiyan god.
"I should kill him before these premonitions become the truth and might lead to my downfall." Frieza thought as his dark purple lips stretched into an evil smile.
[762 A.D. December 20, Planet Namek, 6:30 Earth time]
Krilin fluttered his eyes open. He and Dende made a stop into a small island to rest. They ended up sleeping though. Yesterday, he wondered how long a day on Planet Namek was and Dende revealed to him that there was no night on Namek because of the three suns around it. He realized he didn't noticed how long they were awake since they arrived and decided that a little rest would make him feel refreshed when he wakes up.
Now that he was awake, he rose Dende up and told him to take him to the Great Elder quickly. They took off to the sky and continued their way towards the Great Elder. A few minutes passed, the Namekian child pointed at a very high rock surrounded by water. The rock formation looked like a very tall mountain, probably as tall as the highest tower on Earth. They carefully descended into the grassy ground before a white Namekian house, which was larger than the other Namekian houses Krilin has seen on Dende's village. The hatch of the door opened, rising and floating upwards like a magical door. A tall Namekian adult wearing a red vest and white puffy pants came out of the door. This Namekian reminded Krilin of Piccolo due to them looking exactly like each other.
"Nail-san!" Dende recognized, a huge, happy smile appearing on his face. "I'm glad you are safe!"
"The Great Elder knows everything," Nail spoke, his expression was hard, cold and emotionless, like the hardened warrior he is but his deep voice had a casual tone on it. "He is waiting for you, come inside." He was about to come inside the house but Dende asked.
"But if he knows everything then why doesn't he escape?"
Nail turned to him and answered, "The Great Elder is of old age and he feels as if he is getting closer to death. All he can do is nothing even if he feels he wanted to help his children. All I can do is to protect him if ever someone tries to harm him." Then he turned his head towards the house, "Let's come inside."
Krilin watched as Nail went inside the white Namekian house. He knew he could sense a lot more power from him than the rest of the Namekians. He followed Nail and Dende into the house and the three of them levitated up into the second floor.
Once there, Nail said, "Great Elder-sama, I have brought Dende and a guest,"
Krilin was taken aback when he saw the Great Elder of Planet Namek. He was incredibly huge, almost gigantic, both in height and width. The oldest Namekian was looking weak and sick, just as Nail had said, and he sat in a huge white throne before his three guests. A one-star Dragon Ball was sitting above the backrest of the throne.
The Great Elder smiled weakly and said, "Hello there, you must be from Earth. First of all I want to thank you for saving my child, Dende. I am Guru, the Great Elder of Namek."
Krilin shrugged timidly and said, "Oh, oh, it's no problem at all! Thank you."
"Those monsters have killed nearly all my children… I am grieving deeply, for what those monsters were after were my Dragon Balls. I never thought that the spheres of hope, the proof of wisdom and strength of Planet Namek will lead to such horror." Guru said with a sad and weak tone in his voice.
Krilin knew how the Elder must be feeling but there's no time for sympathy. He needed to take the Dragon Ball so he can prevent Frieza from having all seven. "Forgive me for being straightforward, sir, but will you please allow me to borrow that Dragon Ball above you. I'll never give it up to them, I promise." Krilin said.
"I implore you, Great Elder," Dende said. "If they make their wish, the Dragon Balls on their planet will be returned and with that, they can resurrect their fallen friends, who could help save us from those monsters!"
"There are Dragon Balls on Earth, too?" the Great Elder said with surprise.
"Yes, sir. I heard that a Namekian child escaped from here when a terrible drought happened on Planet Namek, he was sent to Earth," Krilin explained.
"I remember now, he must be the child of Katatz. I never thought that a child would be able to travel safely that far away but he was the prodigy of the Dragon Clan after all. You spoke as if he died? Did he die of sickness?"
"No, he was killed on a battle by a Saiyan named Vegeta."
For a moment, the Great Elder didn't know how to react to such news. "It is true that the Saiyans are known for their ruthless reputation across the galaxy, but to be able to kill the prodigy of the Dragon Clan?" Guru muttered. "Is he… the Legendary Super Saiyan?"
Krilin blinked, not knowing what that means, "Legendary Super Saiyan? What's that?"
"Child of Earth, would you kindly come over here?" Guru said as he pointed at the side of his throne. Krilin obediently went over where the Elder pointed at. "If you please, I would like to see into your past."
"My past?"
The Great Elder raised his right hand and put it over Krilin's bald head. Guru began to mumble something as if he could see what happened to the Namekian child, the sons of the one called Katatz. And then Guru was stopped.
"I see that your intention is pure, young man. But…"
"Eh? What is it?"
"That Saiyan you said who killed the son of Katatz, has he become your ally?" Guru asked.
"Y-y-yes…"
"You sounded so unsure; you are suspicious of him, are you?"
"Yes…"Krilin muttered.
"Hmmmmmmm…."
For a few seconds, Guru was silent. Krilin wondered what the Elder was thinking. He feared that he could have given him the Dragon Ball but wouldn't because he knew that Vegeta was with them. Nail spoke up to break the silence. "I could sense the Saiyan's energy flicker in and out like a flame, Great Elder. He must have the ability to suppress his energy when he wanted to, but there is something even more suspicious of his ki."
"What do you mean?"
"It seems he can control the flow of the three ki components with his will alone. Genki (life force), Yuki (heart's nature) and Shoki (mind nature). There were times when I can sense his ki as if he was just an ordinary being. Sometimes, I cannot even feel him. There were also times when his ki feels very different than what I sensed the other time. In other words, he is completely unstable. Most of the time, his ki felt as pure as this Earthling but there were also times when a dangerously negative yuki would appear, making him an even darker monster than our other enemy. Generally, that Saiyan is both mysterious and extremely dangerous no matter what. We cannot know what he really is after. So we have to be careful and treat him as an enemy as well."
"B-But…"
"But I see that this Earthling is of pure heart," Guru said.
"I know," Nail said. "If you wish to give him the Dragon Ball then so be it. The Saiyan was far away from where his two other comrades so I think it would be better."
"Very well, I shall give the Dragon Ball to you. But you should know that you might not get your wish ," Guru said and reached out for the Dragon Ball behind him and gave it to Krilin.
"What? Why's that?" Krilin asked as he took the ball from Guru's huge hand.
"Unfortunately, my life won't probably last longer, maybe a few days more. In that time, can you take the rest of the Dragon Balls and make your wish? I doubt it. Because when I die, the Dragon Balls will also disappear."
"I… I see… It can't be helped. I have to prevent the enemies from getting their wish after all. I have to protect this with my life!"
"Please do so. I cannot move anymore, if the one called 'Frieza' would come here, not even Nail would be enough to defend me." Guru said. "By the way, you have exceptional power for an Earthling. In fact, you are wasting inner power that still lies dormant within you. Let me awaken it for you."
"What? Hidden power?" Krilin blinked. "N-no way. I always train. If I have more power I would have known about it. In fact, I think I'm already past my limitations….." he laughed awkwardly, cannot fully believe that he still has that exceptional power Guru was talking about.
Guru put his hand over Krilin's head once again and then suddenly, the bald-headed Earthling felt a warm sensation flow through his veins and then suddenly exploded outward in a wild white aura that surrounded his body. To his surprise, this was an incredible power. 'Woah! This is amazing! I… I never thought I have such power! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Krilin exclaimed in joy.
Guru smiled back weakly, "No problem. I hope you will be able to escape them."
"Uhm… Can you do this to little kids as well? I mean, does this shorten your life or anything?" asked Krilin.
"All I did is to awaken the power that lies within you. It has no effect on my life or such thing. You can bring him here. We can get all the help we can." Guru said.
"Great! I'll bring him here. But… uh… what do I do with this Dragon Ball?"
"Bring it with you. I have already put the fate of this planet and the universe to you."
"Okay…" Krilin turned to Dende. "Dende, wait in here. I'll return with Gohan. I'll see you later!"
The bald-headed monk went out of the house and blasted back towards the island where he left Gohan and Bulma. He cannot sense Vegeta near them, in fact he cannot sense him at all. He wondered why he wasn't with them this time and the thought of him made his heart quiver with pain. Did something happen? He hoped Vegeta didn't do anything to Gohan or Bulma or else…
The bald-headed warrior from Earth headed back towards where Bulma and Gohan were with incredible speed he never thought he could have. "With this new power-up. I can reach Bulma and Gohan in no-time!"
Back inside Guru's house, Nail scowled, sensing something dangerous. "He's here…"
The Great Elder just nodded back at him while Dende wondered what Nail meant. The strongest Namekian warrior told Dende to stay inside with the Elder as he descended outside.
[762 A.D. December 20, Planet Namek , 8:35 Earth time]
Vegeta stood on a rock and behind a tree as he watched the white house that stood above a tall rock formation a few feet before him. He just sensed Krilin's ki rise with an incredible awakening of power. He was glad that the human was able to awaken his true power. He also saw that Krilin was holding the last of the seven Dragon Balls and was heading back towards where Bulma and Gohan were. Once Krilin was far away, Vegeta came out of his hideout and leaped towards the Great Elder's house. He was surprised that someone was there to welcome him.
Nail came out of the house and coldly glared at the Saiyan Prince, who was smiling innocently back at him.
"Yo," Vegeta greeted.
Nail scowled at the sight of the strange Saiyan before him. "You shall not enter. I'm warning you, Saiyan." He seethed.
Vegeta blinked back at him and grinned, "Is this what they call 'assisted suicide'?" he said. "Don't worry. I'm not here to cause you trouble or anything. I just wanted to help."
"We don't need your help!" Nail said. "Go away, Saiyan. I can sense a great evil in you! You have no right to enter!"
Vegeta scowled this time. He decided that there's no other choice after all so he raised his hand and blasted the wall of the house. Dende scampered in fear but when he saw the Saiyan Prince, he didn't know what to feel at his presence. Vegeta ignored Nail as he floated up and entered the house without invitation.
The Great Elder didn't move even when he saw Vegeta before him. The prince could feel the old Namekian's ki getting weaker. He raised his hand, his palm facing at Guru. Nail, seeing this action, charged at Vegeta in full power, Nail punched the Saiyan hard into the side of his face, but Vegeta was unfazed. The Saiyan prince turned to him and said, "Don't get in my way…" before he sent Nail flying outside the house with powerful telekinesis.
Vegeta charged up a clear white sphere and fired it towards the Elder's chest.
"Noooo!" Nail and Dende screamed.
The Elder let out a loud cry as pain hit him but it only lasted a few seconds longer. The clear white sphere that Vegeta fired at him exploded and surrounded him like an energy barrier made of white fire.
"What have you done?!" Nail screamed in anger, fearing that the Elder is in great danger. Vegeta turned to him, his cold dark eyes warning the Namekian warrior.
"Just as I thought, you are completely useless on defending this old toad by yourself. I merely set up a protection for him just in case Frieza really did come here looking for the Dragon Ball you just gave the Earthling. Plus, I can sense he's nearing his death so let's say I lengthened his life a little as a bonus so the Earthlings could make their wish."
"How did you know that the Great Elder was the one sustaining the power of the Dragon Balls?" Nail asked suspiciously.
"I just know." Vegeta replied with indifference.
"Are you really on the Earthlings' side?" Nail asked again, with the same tone.
Vegeta smiled sweetly at him. "Of course, I am,"
"I don't trust you…" the Namekian guard growled.
The Saiyan prince snorted, "Whatever. And I could care less if you do or not. The only matter I care is helping the Earthlings get their wish, no other than that."
Nail remained silent for a moment. He really couldn't say what this Saiyan's true motives are. By the way he could see, Vegeta was telling the truth and was indeed trying to help the Earthlings get their wish. But he could see that there could be something more to it. There was a reason why. Was there something he wanted from the Earthlings? Whatever that is, he could feel that it was not good.
"For what reason are you doing this?" Nail asked.
Vegeta pretended to think, his eyes shifting as he put a finger on his bottom lip like a child. "Hmmmmmm… Ah!" he snapped as if he had a great idea that just popped out of his mysterious mind. "It's none of your business!" he exclaimed before scowling deeply. "You should be thanking me for trying to protect your old toad! Not question me!" he growled as he back-handed Nail on the side of his face, sending the Namekian flying into the wall. "Oops… Sorry! I completely forgot just how inferior you are to my superior strength! Bwahahahahahahahaha!" he laughed like a madman. Then he released his blue aura, "So long, fool! And take care of yourself! Frieza will be coming for you if he successfully got the Dragon Balls! Jaa!" and took off into the sky with unbelievable speed.
Nail picked himself up from the rubble caused by his impact and rubbed his head. A purple bruise was beginning to mark on the side of his head where Vegeta backhanded him. It hurt but he was glad that Vegeta didn't kill him.
[762 A.D. December 20, Outer Space]
Meanwhile, in the deep reaches of space, Son Goku traveled across the galaxy towards Planet Namek using a spaceship made for him by Bulma's father. During his travels, he took his time training under the pressure of multiplied gravity levels. He began two days ago under fifteen times normal gravity. He was determined to train as hard as he could in order to defeat Vegeta if ever things go bad once he confront him about his real identity on Namek.
Earlier, Dr. Briefs contacted him through a smart TV and said that he has told Bulma and Vegeta the news that he will arrive on Namek in four days. According to the genius doctor, while Bulma was ecstatic that he will arrive, Vegeta on the other hand was not impressed.
"I told him you were coming and he sounded surprised. And then I told him that you wanted to talk to him and then it took long before he answered back. And when he did, he sounded a little strange." Dr. Briefs told him.
When Goku asked him what he meant by strange, the doctor replied: "He sounded a little different. His voice sounded chilling and deep… Or maybe it was just me, I don't know…"
Chilling? Vegeta sounded that way when he told them back at the hospital that he will not kill anyone unless someone dare take Bulma away from him. Goku laughed at the memory. Yes, Indeed. Vegeta surely had a terrifying look when he said that.
Also, Doctor Briefs told him that Vegeta also mentioned that there are other beings on Namek that are looking for the Dragon Balls but Vegeta assured that he will protect Bulma, Gohan and Krilin no matter what.
For hours after that conversation, Goku thought of it very well, since he was warned by King Kai a few days ago. He wondered why he didn't realize it at first, that time when Vegeta returned after their clash of blasts. He remembered that Vegeta acted strangely at that time. When the prince landed before him, he was smiling sweetly at him as if he was glad to see him again. And then, when their battle resumed, Vegeta made quick work of him, pummeling him as easily as swatting a fly. Goku could not understand where Vegeta got that power after he was damaged by his Kaioken and Kamehameha earlier that day but it seemed as if Vegeta was just beginning to show him his true power. Vegeta showed him the Saiyan's beast form by transforming into an Oozaru where Goku realized that he was the one who killed his grandpa and destroyed the buildings at the Tenkaichi Budokai when he was a kid.
When Krilin, Gohan and Yajirobe came to help, the prince was not worried, even as Yajirobe cut his tail off to return him to his base form. Vegeta went to pummel Krilin, Gohan and Yajirobe until he grew bored of it. Just as when Goku was sure that the Saiyan Prince was about to kill them all mercilessly, Vegeta decided to spare them all as if the idea of that just came out of his mind. Goku asked why the prince stopped his attack and this was his answer:
"I'm not anymore interested with killing scums like you. I am here for a different purpose than killing humanity or destroying the Earth." Vegeta told him. Goku thought it was the Dragon Balls but Vegeta simply smiled back at him. "Don't worry, Kakarot. You are not going to die today. I will also help you. But first, I just want to see something else…" and then Goku felt darkness cloaked over his visions after that.
Since then, Goku had thought that Vegeta was true to what he said even though it was strange to him as to how his enemy suddenly turned around and became friendly towards him and his friends. He tried to feel the prince's ki but he cannot feel any evil on him… or even anything. The day after that he realized that it was Bulma he wanted to see. How he knew her when he was from outer space was still an unanswerable question for him. Thinking it over and over again, Goku wondered if the Vegeta he first met and fought is still the same Vegeta who are with his friends on Namek by now.
No matter what happens, Goku is determined to get answers from Vegeta once he confronts him there.
After he was done training under the pressure of one hundred times Earth's normal gravity, he stood in the middle of the room, panting. He let out a smile and contemplated about his success. And then he heard the voice of King Kai on his head.
"Goku! Can you hear me?" King Kai's voice rang in Goku's head.
"King Kai?" Goku guessed.
"That's right. Where are you now? Oh you are on outer space – … What are you doing –?! Oh, I see, going to Planet Namek to get the Dragon Balls too."
"Don't you know that something's happening on Planet Namek?"
"Forget that for awhile I have good news for you!" King Kai said. "I happened to have some guests over here."
"Guests? What about them?" Goku asked.
"It's amazing they cleared the Snake Way and got here in a far shorter time than you did! And there are four of them!"
"Four?"
"Yes! You should know them very well!"
"You mean?!" Goku's smile brightened at the thought of who King Kai's guests were.
"And they want training even tougher than you had!"
"That's awesome! Dead or not, they made it to the Lord of Worlds!"
"Goku, can you hear me?" A different voice rang in Goku's head and that voice he recognized well.
"Yamcha!"
"Yes, it's me, bro! We met the soul of Kami-sama on King Yemma's desk and told us about this place! We heard that you are going to Piccolo's home planet to look for the Dragon Balls so we can come back to life!"
"You said there are four of them, you, Tienshinhan… Is Piccolo there too?"
"Oh yes!"
"Then who is the last one? Is it Kami-sama?"
"No, he's chosen to stay with King Yemma. It was Chaotzu."
"Chaotsu? But didn't he blow himself up? Krilin told me that."
"Kami-sama regenerated his body. He's going to train with us."
"Wow! Congratulations, Chaotzu!"
"But the gravity in this place… I'm so heavy I can barely run…"
"I've been there and done that. The gravity I'm training in right now will make that nothing. I have to get stronger than ever or you guys will have more company."
"Why? What's happened?"
King Kai's voice came in, "Yes, you hinted that something terrible is happening on Namek."
"I was still in the hospital so Bulma, Gohan and Krilin went to Planet Namek without me. They went along with Vegeta, the Saiyan who killed you guys!"
"What?! Vegeta!" Yamcha screamed in surprised. Behind him, Tien, Chaotzu and Piccolo wondered what Vegeta was doing with them. "B-But h-how…? H-he's the enemy, right? H-He killed us!"
"I know, but then… after I fight him he suddenly had a change of mind and decided to spare me, Gohan, Krilin Yajirobe and the Earth." Goku explained.
"And why would he do that?"
"He said he has a different purpose than the Dragon Balls or destroying the Earth… He said he wanted to see something else…"
"And that is?"
"Bulma…"
Yamcha blinked. "Just how did that Saiyan know of Bulma?"
"I don't know. And then, he said he will help us bring you back to life so long as Bulma becomes his."
Yamcha was beginning to get angry, "That… little… bastard…." He growled. "Why'd you let him do that? Bulma can't agree with that! She's my girlfriend!"
"Bulma agreed, by force I could say. She did it to bring you guys back to life." Goku explained.
"I swear when I get back to life I will rip that Vegeta apart…" Yamcha was very angry.
King Kai's voice came back, "Goku, remember what I told you. Do not put your trust on Vegeta."
"I got it, King Kai. Also, there's one more thing…"
"What is it?"
"Doctor Briefs, Bulma's dad told me that Vegeta mentioned about some other guys looking for the Dragon Balls as well. And according to Bulma, he's even more powerful than Vegeta!"
"Eh?! A being more powerful than Vegeta?!" Yamcha said. "But Vegeta was too much for Goku…!"
"In any case… Is it Frieza?" King Kai asked.
"I'll let you know as soon as I find out."
"I'll see what I can find…"
"Really? Thanks!"
Goku heard King Kai's voice mutter the position of Namek, probably searching for the planet's position. And then, "Ooh! I feel tremendous ki… two of them… one of them is…" and then King Kai said with outmost shock. "Frieza!"
"Do you know him?" Goku asked.
"G-Goku… I know you were always been confident with your strength and you may think you can handle anything, but forget that! Frieza is not your match! You cannot handle him! Not this one! Just stay away!"
"What? Why?"
"Goku, I command you when you get to Namek just grab the three of them and run away! I'm not saying this just for your sake, but for the sake of the Earth, of Namek and all the planets! Attacking Frieza would only make him angry and the wrath of Frieza will bring only horrors I fear to describe!"
"I never knew there was anybody that powerful…"
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" King Kai yelled at his thoughts.
"But King Kai…" Goku moaned like a child arguing by his parents.
"GOKUUUU!"
"Vegeta claims that he can make quick disposal of all of them if he wanted to. What does it mean?"
"Probably Vegeta was just a fool to think of that. Frieza used to be his master and it's impossible he would think he can ever hold a candle to Frieza unless –…"
King Kai was cut off again. A few seconds later, he came back. His tone became even more terrified than when he was talking about Frieza. "I… I see… now… Haaaaa….." The Lord of World's voice trembled with fear.
"What's the matter, King Kai?" Goku asked, hearing his master's fearful moan.
"V-V-Vegeta…"
"What's with Vegeta?"
The other tremendous ki King Kai felt earlier was indeed Vegeta just like he expected but there was something unexplainable with it. The Saiyan Prince's ki felt even stronger than Frieza's ki!
"H-He… He did it… H-h-he's… he's…"
"Huh? King Kai? Are you alright?"
"The Legendary Super Saiyan…"
"Legendary Super Saiyan? What's that?"
"Goku!" cried King Kai. "I see now why Vegeta's confident to finish off Frieza if he wanted to! Still, I command you to run away once you get to Namek!"
"But I need to talk to Vegeta about the paradox you were talking about – ,"
"Forget the paradox, Goku! Forget it! Tokino Kaioushin, the guardian of Time and Space has contacted me earlier that she will bring forth a time patroller and detective to investigate the cause of that paradox! Listen to what I say, Vegeta is extremely dangerous! Even more dangerous than Frieza!" The Lord of Worlds sounded so desperate.
"Okay, but he's on our side, right?"
"We don't know about that!"
"Yeah, we're still unsure of that yet but if I grab Gohan, Krilin and Bulma, Vegeta would definitely get mad. He warned us that he will not cause harm on us so long as Bulma is with him. I cannot do that, King Kai."
"Why Bulma of all people?" Yamcha moaned, he sounded like grieving as if he's losing his beloved to his own killer.
"I don't know."
"I understand, Goku. Just always remember… do not try to incur the wrath of Frieza, most especially Vegeta's."
"What with this Legendary Super Saiyan thing you said about him?" asked Goku curiously.
"The Legendary Super Saiyan is a myth passed down from generations to generations of the Saiyan race. According to the myth, it only appeared once in three thousand years. A Saiyan who becomes the Legendary is extremely powerful and bloodthirsty, very different from a normal Saiyan. He has extreme urge for blood, battle and destruction and is completely uncontrollable."
"But Vegeta isn't that uncontrollable… right?"
"That's something I cannot say, Goku. It seems as if when he was battling you on Earth, he was not using his full power on you."
Goku frowned, disappointed that he didn't get to see how powerful the Saiyan prince is. He remembered Vegeta's power up on Earth and how it felt that it was his full potential. That was not it?
"Really? That's… unbelievable… I wish I could see just how much powerful he is."
"Goku!"
Piccolo's voice came in, cutting off King Kai, "Goku, just grab the Dragon Balls and bring us back to life. I'm sure there will be no problem if we team up and defeat Frieza and Vegeta."
"Why you -!" King Kai yelled.
King Kai and Piccolo began to argue, trying to tell Piccolo not to face Frieza and Vegeta. Their voices faded in Goku's mind, cutting the telepathic conversation off. Goku let out a sigh. He really wanted to see just how powerful Vegeta and Frieza really is. He decided that he might just do that and the thought of it made his heart pound with excitement.
"Well, whether I face them or not, I will still train to get stronger! Now! Let's go for one hundred twenty times normal gravity!"
[762 A.D. December 20, Planet Namek.]
Krilin returned to where Bulma and Gohan were and he was greeted by his two companions. Both Gohan and Bulma were glad to see the Dragon Ball on Krilin's hands.
"Great! Now we have two!" Bulma exclaimed happily.
"Two?" Krilin asked, wondering what they meant with that.
"Vegeta brought the other one earlier," Gohan explained.
"Where did he get that?"
Gohan's face became serious and Krilin blinked at that serious look. "Do you remember that village where we sensed the Namekians being killed earlier?"
"Yeah,"
"That's where Vegeta found it."
"I see… wait… what? You mean he's the one who – "
Gohan nodded.
"Why are you so serious about that? Vegeta did it so Frieza cannot have all seven. I heard him say that earlier!" Bulma piped in.
"But that is not a good reason for him to kill those innocent Namekians." Gohan said.
Bulma let out a sigh. "You see, I thought it over. I think Vegeta did that because he knew we can restore those Namekians back to life when we get our wish with the Dragon Balls. He just wanted to make sure Frieza won't get them."
"But you saw how he kills those people, right? And you're defending him." Krilin said.
"I am not defending him. I think he's only doing that because of a reason. And that is for the three of us. He killed that monster because he was protecting us from it."
"How can you trust someone that easily when you don't know what he really is?"
Bulma looked down, "I just know…"
Krilin turned to Gohan and said to him, "Anyways, Gohan, come with me. I have someone for you to meet."
"Who?" Gohan asked.
"Guru, the Great Elder of this planet. I actually want you to meet him because I asked him to awaken your dormant powers so you can hold a candle against Vegeta if ever things go wrong."
"Hmmm… Okay."
"Wait, you're leaving me alone here after you made Vegeta walk away like that!
"Sorry Bulma, but this is a very important matter. We'll leave the Dragon Balls to you. Bye."
Krilin and Gohan took off into the sky, leaving a very mad Bulma.
"Damn, I wish Vegeta was here instead. At least he can protect me from those freaks."
Vegeta saw Krilin and Gohan leave. He expected that after all he's heard of Krilin's conversations with Guru earlier. Now that he found Bulma alone, he decided to watch at her.
"Damn, I wish Vegeta was here instead. At least he can protect me from those freaks." He heard Bulma said. Vegeta laughed and decided to come out of his hiding place.
"Don't worry, my dear little Bulma. I'm here and I will protect you!"
Bulma turned around and was glad to see him back. "Vegeta! Oh, you're back!"
The Saiyan Prince nodded, "Yep," he smiled. "I'm sorry about earlier. You were right, I killed those Namekians because I know we can bring them back to life later on. Thanks so much for standing up to me." Then he threw his arms and wrapped them around her. "Thank you. This was the reason why I love you so much, you understand me more than anyone else does."
Bulma let out a laugh as she pat his back. "No problem."
Four days passed by, and during those days…
Vegeta and Bulma were together. Bulma began to open up with Vegeta and the prince also began to tell her more things about him. He told her that Frieza used to be his master, who enslaved him and his race. He also told her that it was Frieza who destroyed his home planet and killed his people, which made Bulma sympathetic towards the prince. However, despite opening up to Bulma about his past, there were some things he refused to tell her, that would remain until forever if he can help it.
Vegeta told her that when they get back to Earth, they will go to a planetarium to do some star gazing. Of course, they cannot do that while on Namek because there were no nights on the planet. He told her he loved star gazing and he promised her to show her where his home planet used to be as a present.
Meanwhile, Krilin and Gohan continued travelling towards Guru's place. It took them that long because they were trying to minimize their use of ki in order for them not to get noticed by Vegeta. Frieza waited for his special forces to arrive and decided to search for more planets to conquer through their computers. He cannot leave the planet; someone destroyed the main control without someone knowing it. Frieza suspected it was Vegeta's doing and he was literally growing angry at the traitor.
In outer space, Goku continued to train to get stronger than ever.
[762 A.D. December 24, Planet Namek, 8:00 Earth time]
Krilin and Gohan finally arrived to Guru's place. When they saw the damage in the house, they wondered what happened.
"That Saiyan did it," Nail said, still bitter about
"Saiyan? You mean Vegeta?"
"Yes. He also did this to the Great Elder." Nail said as he pointed at Guru, who was still surrounded by the white fire.
Krilin wondered what was that strange aura surrounding the great Elder of Namek. "What has he done?!" the monk-turned warrior said in anger.
Guru said slowly, "Do not worry, Krilin. I am fine. In fact, I am feeling that my life has been sustained for quite a bit longer than what I was expecting."
"What do you mean?"
"Vegeta has shared a small part of his genki with me. Perhaps because he really wanted for me to stay alive until you guys get your wish."
"Eh? He really did that?"
Guru nodded weakly, smiling back. Krilin and Gohan suddenly thought that Vegeta wasn't that bad after all. The two of them let out a smile, completely forgetting their anger of the prince's doing four days ago. Guess Bulma's right about him. Vegeta's really trying to help them.
"Do you remember the kid I was talking to you about? I brought him here. Can you please awaken his power, too. I'm sure with his dormant powers he can help us beat those bad guys!"
"I will. Come over here, boy." Guru beckined Gohan to stand on the side of his throne.
Gohan stepped forward and stood where Guru told to. The Great Elder placed his huge hand over the half-Saiyan's head. With that, Guru awakened Gohan's true powers.
Gohan and Krilin were both amazed at the amount of power awakened from the boy.
Then suddenly Guru said, "There is someone coming."
"Huh? Someone? Who?" Krilin asked, blinking. And then his senses screamed danger. "It's true! Someone is coming!"
Was it Vegeta?Or was it Frieza? They wondered. Krilin, Gohan and Nail ran out of the house, looking up to the green skies.
"It's Goku! It could be Goku!" Krilin exclaimed with excitement in his voice.
Gohan blinked, confused as he could sense something different. "That's strange… It feels as if they are five of them."
"Five?" Krilin blinked and concentrated again. Yes, he can sense five beings with tremendous ki coming to Planet Namek. "Yes, you're right. There are five of them!"
Back to the Capsule house, Vegeta who was watching at Bulma sleep next to him also sensed the five tremendous ki coming towards Namek.
"So they're finally here…" he said.. He turned to look at the two Dragon Balls that he was guarding. His eyes slowly glowing crimson as an evil smile crept across his lips. "Heh!"
[762 A.D. December 24, Planet Namek, 8:33 Earth Time]
Five space pods broke through Namek's atmosphere and plummeted to the planet's surface like meteors falling into the sky. The pods crashed before the spaceship of the Emperor of the Universe who was waiting for them for five days.
From the pods came out five aliens who claimed to be the most elite fighting squad in the universe. The five of them levitated off the ground to land before their master, who was sitting on his hovering throne above his spaceship.
Then, their introductions began as they all together made poses.
The first of them was a tall, bulky and muscular man with shaggy orange hair and beady eyes. He has a cleft chin under his lips. He wore a special type of white battle armor with short black jumpsuit under it, white gloves and white boots with gold toes. He calls himself, "Recoome!" as he knelt on the ground and raised both his arms on his right side.
The second was the tallest among the five liens, even taller than Recoome. He has dark blue skin red but pupil-less eyes and many small spots over his body. He wore a black version of the armor similar to Recoome's, but he left his arms bare. He also wore black spandex pants and white boots with gold toes. He also had black bands on his wrists. He exclaimed his name in a loud voice, "Burter!" as he posed to reflect Recoome's pose.
The third was just average in height. He has bright red skin and white hair that goes down to his hips. He has sharp black eyes. He wears a black jumpsuit with sleeves under his white and gold armor, white gloves and boots and a green scouter. He yells out, "Jeice!" as he knelt on the ground and raised his arms above him with his hands down on the side, similar to a flying bird.
The fourth one was the shortest among all the five of them, even shorter than Krilin was. He was a round reptile-like alien with light green skin and four eyes. Two of his eyes were located like a human's eyes and two much larger eyes located at the side of his head. He wore a black jumpsuit under his white and gold armor. He proclaims to name to be: "Guldo!" as he posed exactly identical to Jeice's.
And the fifth and last one who stood by the center of the five was a tall, purple skinned alien with two black horns protruding on the sides of his head. He had several veins bulging over the skin of the top of his head and red eyes. He wore black and gold armor and a brief-shaped pants, black wristbands and black boots. He is the most powerful among the five of them and is obviously the leader of the group, in which they named their group after. "Ginyu!" he exclaimed as he turned around and looked in between his legs in an awkward looking pose.
All five of them exclaimed altogether in loud voices, "AND TOGETHER WE MAKE… THE GINYU SPECIAL FORCES!" and posed differently in comparison to their initial poses. Ginyu was kneeling on the ground, his arms spread on his sides downwards. Jeice posed on his left as if he just won a jackpot from a lottery, while Guldo was on his right holding his left elbow while his right hand were closed into a fist over his chin. Burter stood next to Jeice with his right foot while his left knee was raised, his arms spread on the sides as if to balance himself while Recoome posed behind Guldo, his body turned to the side with his feet spread apart as his right arm raised across his left side while his left arm was on his lower side behind him.
Frieza watched at them awkwardly in his throne, blushing at the embarrassing pose his men performed before him. For a few awkward seconds of silence, Frieza thought how these men of his able to think of these ridiculous poses. He decided to let it off this time since there are more important matters on hand and orders for him to give them. "I've been waiting for you," Frieza smiled.
The five elite warriors finally relaxed from their poses and bowed before the Emperor. "We're flattered, Frieza-sama." Ginyu spoke. "So, what is it that you want for us to do, milord?"
"It was about that traitor, Vegeta."
"Woah, Vegeta-chan? What about him?"
"We lost our scouters due to a foolish Namekian Elder and now we cannot locate the other two Dragon Balls. I sent Zarbon and another soldier to look for it. The soldier found a village but the villagers are already dead when he came in there and the Dragon Ball was gone. On the other hand, Zarbon never came back. I suspect it was Vegeta's doing. It could be that he killed those villagers, got the Dragon Balls and killed both Dodoria and Zarbon. I'm quite surprised that Vegeta was able to defeat both my most trusted soldiers so what I want you to do is to bring Vegeta to me, make him suffer but do not kill him. I still have something to talk to him about. If he has the Dragon Balls, take it from him."
"As you wish, milord," Ginyu said as he pushed the button on his scouter, "The scouter located him immediately. He won't be able to escape."
Jeice stepped forward, a briefcase in his hands. "Frieza-sama, here are the scouters you requested," he said.
"Thank you," Frieza said as he took the briefcase from Jeice.
"Let's do this!" Ginyu proclaims to his members.
'Yeah!" The other four said.
The five altogether exclaimed, "TOGETHER… WE FIGHT!" and then they all blasted off into the sky, leaving a dumbfounded Frieza thinking how ridiculous those five were.
At Guru's house… Krilin and Gohan were frozen with fear when they felt the enormous power level of the five new arrivals. The powers of those warriors were no match for them.
"W-W-What are we going to do?" Krilin said, his lips and body trbling with fear. "Just who are these people? Their power is tremendous I'll never be a match for them!"
"W-W-We have to get back to Bulma… They might located the Dragon Ball and kill her," Gohan said.
"Y-you're right," Krilin said.
Then they sensed Vegeta's ki suddenly appear on the planet as if his signal was off for the past four days. "That's Vegeta-san! He's with Bulma-san!" Gohan said.
Krilin didn't know if he must be tensed or relaxed at the thought of Vegeta being with Bulma. "We have to go and protect Bulma! Let's go, Gohan!"
The half Saiyan boy nodded and the two took off to the sky. Later, they sensed the five mysterious beings move incredibly fast and they are coming towards where Vegeta and Bulma are.
"They're moving fast! They're coming towards where Bulma is! We cannot make it in time!" Krilin shouted.
"We have to try!" Gohan answered him back.
They continued their way towards the island where Bulma and Vegeta were.
[762 A.D. December 24, Planet Namek. 9:00 Earth time]
At the Capsule House, Vegeta shook Bulma to wake her up. The human woman fluttered her eyes open and wondered why the prince woke her up.
"The enemy is coming here, prepare yourself."
That woke Bulma up instantly. "What?! Enemy?! Oh no! The Dragon Balls! What are we going to do?!" she panicked as she jumped out of bed looking for the Dragon Balls but cannot find it. Vegeta watched at Bulma panicked before he laughed at her.
"Don't panic, Bulma. I hid them somewhere."
"Where did you hide it?"
"Not telling you for now. You might expose it to the enemy, you vulgar girl," Vegeta smiled. "So… shall we go?"
"Go where?"
"Outside and meet these enemies."
Bulma freaked out, "No way!"
"Hmph! You have nothing to fear of. I am here, I will protect you. Okay, Bulma?" Vegeta grinned as he offered his hand to her, "Let's go?"
When Vegeta smiled that way, Bulma didn't know what to say. Her heart fluttered when he smiled at her as if the Saiyan Prince was doing that for her and only her. She felt very special with him, unlike how she felt with her boyfriend, Yamcha… well… that's ex-boyfriend now.
During those four days she was together with Vegeta, she learned more about him and with that information she knew that Vegeta wasn't that bad after all. That's why she reconsidered his proposal back on Earth.
"I am here to be your boyfriend, whether you like it or not,"
"Why? Because we are meant to be together. That's our destiny."
"I will make you fall in love with me someday!"
And he was right… She's slowly falling in-love with him after she saw how much he was trying to protect her, how much he fights for her, and just how much he loves her. Bulma smiled and reached out for Vegeta's hand.
She trusts him, trusts his every word, and trusts him to protect her no matter what.
Vegeta and Bulma went out of the Capsule house and out of the cave where they found the five most elite warriors in the universe, the Ginyu Special Force.
[762 A.D. December 24, Planet Namek. 9:17 Earth time]
Vegeta stood before the five members of the most elite and ruthless group of mercenaries called the Ginyu Special Forces. He felt Bulma's hand became cold with fear as Bulma stepped backward at the sight of the five soldiers. Vegeta smiled at her and held her hand a little tighter but not to the point of breaking her hand, a gesture to tell her that it's going to be okay. Bulma swallowed her fear and faced the beings with courage.
Ginyu spoke up, "Yo, Veggie-chan! What's up?! You have such a beautiful lady with you. Is she your sex slave?"
With that comment, Bulma got angry, "What?! I'm not anyone's sex slave, you freak!" she yelled back.
The five warriors laughed.
"Whoah! You have such a feisty woman there, Vegeta-chan! Hahaha!" Recoome said.
"I bet she can match up with him!" Jeice said.
"I wonder how she does in bed," Burter licked his lips.
Vegeta snarled like a ferocious beast at those words, "Don't you dare try thinking of doing such dirty things to my woman or you'll have hell to pay!"
"Woah!" The five cheered.
"Your woman, you say? Bwahahahahahaha!" Recoome laughed.
"Since when did the great Saiyan Prince, Vegeta had interest with women?" Guldo asked, to specifically to mock the prince.
"I heard Nappa and Raditz tried to persuade him to try the sex slaves back on Frieza-sama's planet but he wouldn't dare. Everybody thought he will be single all his life and now look, he has a woman now!" Jeice said.
"You grew up, Vegeta-chan! Congratulations!" Ginyu said.
Vegeta's patience was getting thinner by each word that comes out of these fools' mouths. How dare they underestimate him?
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FOOLS! THIS WOMAN IS NO SEX SLAVE OF MINE! SHE IS MY WOMAN! AND WHEN I SAY THAT, IT MEANS WE ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP!" Vegeta yelled.
The Ginyu force did shut up at that and were surprised. Couple? They are a couple?
"Now, what the fuck do you want with me and you pollute the air around me with Guldo's stinking breath!" Vegeta demanded.
Guldo snarled at that insult, "Why you little – ," he was about to attack Vegeta when Recoome grabbed him with his huge hand.
"Woah! Calm down, team mate! Don't let him get to you like that." He said.
"Now that you mention it, we are here to follow Frieza-sama's orders to take you to him and along with the Dragon Balls you have."
"And what makes you think that I will surrender to the likes of you that easily? I will never surrender to you fools without a fight! If you want to get me, then you have to kill me first!" Vegeta let go of Bulma's hand. His girlfriend stepped backwards as he crouched down into a battle stance. His eyes turning from black to red, "That is if you can kill ME!" and then a wide smirk stretched across his lips.
"Alright, if that's what you want then!" Ginyu said, and he turned to his men. Who wants to go fight Vegeta-chan?"
All four volunteered. Ginyu let out a sigh and said, "I guess there's no helping it. You can all go and make him suffer, but do not kill him. Frieza-sama wanted to see him for some private business."
"Yes, Captain!"
The fight didn't last long and Vegeta was defeated. He didn't know why but something suddenly went wrong and he felt dizzy and weak. He panicked, Bulma. He cannot protect Bulma if this is happening to him. He tried to fight off this weakness that began to conquer him. He cannot release his ki, cannot use his powers. What's happening to him he didn't know.
Then, blackness came over him. The last things he heard were the joyous laughter of the Ginyu force and Bulma's cry, calling out for his name.
"Damn it all… my power… my Bulma…"
