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 Note: Hello everyone and Happy Vegeta Day! (December 19 here, it's his 26th birthday). Here's the twenty-fifth chapter of Crimson-dipped Obsession. Please read and review.

Chapter 25: The Androids

[Age 763, September 4, 20:43]

Vegeta walked around the streets of West City Capital with a depressed look on his face. His eyes were still distant and glassy. Earlier, he went to Bulma's house to give her a present and a packed bento for dinner. He immediately left after that and tried to avoid being caught by her when she sensed her coming.

He admits his present could be a little disgusting to her, but he has to test her out. If she's worried about him then she would think it's his heart inside that ice box. Well, it was his indeed, but not exactly his. For him, it was the only way to tell her that he's giving all his heart for her, even his life and death just to be with her.

But she might misunderstand once again.

Ah, how he wish something exciting happen anytime soon. Maybe the Androids. May they come sooner than expected so he can show her how he will protect her and make her trust him again just like what happened on Planet Namek.

As he walked across a road that leads out of the city, a red sports car passed by him. It was coming to the direction where he just came from and it was coming at three hundred fifty kilometers per hour.

But at the moment it passed by the Prince of Saiyans, it felt so very slow to him. His sharp eyes caught the looks of the three passengers inside that vehicle.

The driver was a teenage boy with dark shoulder length hair, wearing an orange bandana around his neck, a black top over a white long sleeved shirt, blue, faded jeans and green sneakers. Sitting beside him was a beautiful teenage lady with the same style of hair as him, only blonde in color. She wore a denim blue jacket over a striped long sleeved shirt, a skirt made of jeans over her black leggings and brown boots. At the back seat of the car sat a bulky orange headed man wearing a green vest over black jumpsuit.

And the three of them turned their eyes on him.

"Areh? Is that-?" The girl said. The driver hit the breaks of the sports car and the red sports vehicle skidded to a stop.

"Indeed, he is." muttered the orange headed man at the back.

The two teenagers at the front took off their seat belts and came out of the car. Vegeta continued walking, ignoring the three people who just came out of the car.

"Hey, you!" The teenage boy called. Vegeta stopped walking and then slowly turned his head to the right side. His glassy eyes bored into the three newcomers with cold disinterest.

The dark haired boy approached him, as he planted his hands over his hips. "Aren't you Vegeta, The Prince of all Saiyans?"

"I am. Get lost, brat." He muttered with cold disinterest before turning away.

"Hahaha! How rude of you! Perhaps you do not know how powerful we are for you just dared to turn your back on us while I'm talking to you! Lazuli-nechan, should we teach this arrogant Saiyan a lesson he'll never forget?" The boy turned to his older twin sister.

"Whatever you want, Lapiz. But you have to talk him out of the information where Son Goku is. Our orders are clear." The girl called Lazuli answered.

"Okay, okay I get it, sis. Sheesh! I really don't like taking orders from that stinky old man!" Lapiz complained as he walked and caught up with Vegeta's slow pace. He grabbed the Saiyan by his arm roughly.

"Hey, Vegeta!" Lapiz growled at him. "Don't turn your back to me when I'm talking to you!"

Vegeta glared at him warningly, still with his cold, glassy eyes. "Take your hand off me," he ordered.

Lapiz's eyes furrowed. "I will but you have to answer a few questions for us before I let you go. First, where is Son Goku?"

With that, Vegeta turned to him angrily, his eyes suddenly sparked with life as it blazed red in his rage as he landed a vicious kick towards the teenager. "I said 'take your hand off of me!" he yelled, but to his surprise, the boy was able to block that kick. "W-What the-?!"

A dark chuckle escaped from Lapiz's lips. "Surprised?"

The prince grunted as he tried to pry off Lapiz's fingers off his arm by trying to snatch his arm away.

"Now now, be careful or you might rip your arms off my steel grip."

"Let go of me!" Vegeta cried out as he grabbed Lapiz's wrist and tried to pry away his hand. Lapiz dug his fingers deep into Vegeta's skin and the prince screamed in pain.

"Huh? What? I didn't know you were this weak, Vegeta. To be easily injured by that..." Lapiz said as he looked over the Saiyan blood that flows in his fingers. "Let me tell you something about us. Just like you, the three of us aren't human. But unlike you, we aren't aliens. We are Androids, created by Doctor Gero to kill Son Goku and his friends. I am Android number 17, that girl over there is my twin sister Android 18 and the other one is a friend Android 16."

At first, Vegeta's reaction was of horror, "So they have come?! B-but aren't they supposed to come in less than fours years according to Trunks? What could have happened in here? Was it because I willed for them to come earlier? Or was it just a coincidence?" he thought in panic and after he realized that, something inside him thought it was the best, however, he cannot fight yet. At least not tonight. He needed to fight where Bulma could see. So she can watch him fight and kill for her. So she can see him protect her.

Vegeta gritted his teeth as he glared at the boy, "I'm not..." he growled. Lapiz laughed. Vegeta's expression turned sour at that "...I'm not in the mood to kill anyone today. Please just let me go. I do not know where Kakarot is." he pleaded.

"Nice try, Vegeta but I do not believe that lie. You're not going anywhere unless you tell us where Son Goku is. Or maybe... we could use you... as a hostage... he will probably come and save you."

"Heh! Suit yourselves. Nobody's going to do that."

"Why not?"

"I am their enemy. They wouldn't care whatever happens to me or not."

"Enemy? Ahahahahahahaha! Don't tell us we are on the same agenda. To kill Goku as well."

"Don't be mistaken, I'm not even interested anymore."

"Why?"

"If I want that then I would have done it sooner..."

Lapiz turned to Lazuli, confused. Something was wrong with how Vegeta was acting. Saiyans were not up to avoiding battles or the kill.

"Speak now, unless of course if you want me to beat the information out of you."

"You won't get anything from me. Just let me go in peace."

"Are you trying to avoid something? I'm pretty sure you are strong enough to free yourself from my grip, Vegeta. But you're not even releasing your true strength yet."

"...I'm sorry. I'm not really in the mood to fight or kill anyone today." Vegeta told them.

Lapiz glared at the pathetic expression on the prince's face. What the hell was wrong with this Saiyan? "Then I'll make you!" he concentrated his power into the hand that was gripping Vegeta's arm. The prince felt the energy searing through his skin and flesh and he cried out in pain before he was blasted far away, a few meters away from the boy.

It took less than a blink of an eye before Lapiz caught up with him and sent a vicious kick on his spine. Vegeta was sent spiraling up into the sky before Lapiz was above him and began to hit him with a barrage of punches and kicks. Vegeta took each of those beating. It really doesn't matter now. The pain brought by each hit from Lapiz was a relief to his hurting soul, he wanted more of it, he wanted to feel more pain. This was to punish himself from what he has done to her. But the pain of Lapiz's beating was nothing in comparison to the pain he was experiencing in his chest. Nothing can compare to that, not even all the tortures he has received and inflicted combined would ever match this pain. He didn't care anymore if she won't be his after all.

Vegeta crashed into the ground, totally beaten and broken. Lapiz emitted an uninterested sigh as he said, "Man, you're boring me Vegeta. I didn't know you were so cowardly and you just let me beat you up without fighting back. Saiyans were not up to it you know. Your people must be disgusted of you being their prince right now."

Who cares about their opinion anyways? They were all dead after all.

"What can I do to make you fight back? You're not even worth our time if you continue being like this." Lapiz wondered. Then an idea suddenly came into his mind. "Ah! I see. You have a girlfriend from this city, right? Why don't we present ourselves to her and make you fight us. Maybe Goku would also join to save his best friend!"

At the mention of Bulma, Vegeta's mind raced in panic and he unexpectedly found the strength to retaliate, "Y-you..." he growled as he painfully picked himself up."You... d-do... do not... touch... m-my Bulma... or I'll... I'll.."

Lapiz, Lazuli and the one called Android 16 noticed the sudden change in the prince's actions when Lapiz threaten to go to Bulma. They watched in awe as the Saiyan prince began to be engulfed by purple smoke aura that was slowly turning gold. They also observed the atmosphere being covered by dark thunderclouds and the earth started to tremble due to the prince's power being released bit by bit.

Vegeta's body shook with rage as his aching legs tried to balance his hurting body, but he didn't mind at the pain anymore. If he doesn't fight back and show these bastards who they are messing with, Bulma will be in great peril.

Thunder abruptly erupted at the dark skies above and simultaneously rang like bells of hell.

"Hmph! Finally releasing your true power eh? Let's see this!" Lapiz announced.

"RAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHHH!" Vegeta threw his head back as he roared his fury. The golden smoke like aura completely overwhelmed him and transformed his body to the golden Saiyan Legend.

"W-what? That's impossible!"

As soon as Vegeta's transformation ended, golden waves of energy incessantly shot around him like ripples of water, the three Androids unexpectedly plunged to the ground and screamed as their bodies jerked like fish out of water, bolts of electricity abruptly flashed across their bodies as their circuits burned with the raw energy the Super Saiyan was emitting.

Vegeta lowered his head as he gazed at the electrocuted Androids below him; his jade green eyes were dead flat and cold once again. "I told you to just let me go tonight and yet you provoked me enough by threatening my dear little Bulma. I'll make you taste my wrath, you worthless puppets." He told them in his dark, chilling tone. "Electromagnetic Energy. Quite a useful technique against machines like yourselves, isn't it? Enough to make you completely incapacitated..." he watched as the three Androids jerked uncontrollably in the ground before him. "You foolish mechanical dolls, this isn't even my true power! If I release my full power the entire universe will be destroyed! To tell you frankly, I can toast your oily gears and destroy you to pieces anytime I wanted to but as I have mentioned earlier, I am in no mood to kill anyone tonight. If you really wish to be destroyed then meet us all at the island nine miles Southwest of South City at ten tomorrow morning. We will be waiting for you there and then... I will destroy you there. Or maybe... I will ask my dear little Bulma to recycle your parts and be recreated into something more... useful..."

With that, Vegeta turned around and sauntered away, leaving the three jerking androids completely stunned at his unexpected change.

Not long after that, the Saiyan Prince turned back to tell them one more thing. "Oh, you may invite the rest of your playmates if you want as well."And then he continued to stroll away.

When Vegeta was distant enough, the three Androids numbered 16, 17 and 18 were finally freed from Vegeta's odd technique. They tried to pick themselves up pitifully.

"W-what the hell was that? H-how did he know that there are other Androids besides us?" Lapiz asked in stunned horror. "W-what does he mean he can destroy the universe if he release his full power? That he can destroy us anytime he wanted? Is he really serious?"

The hulking Android 16, the most intelligent and was actually the strongest but more composed among the three of them answered in his mechanical voice. "When he used that Electromagnetic Energy Wave to incapacitate us, he could have released a much powerful wave of that same energy to completely destroy our internal operating systems. However, his motive was just to paralyze us for the moment as he has no interest with annihilate us... yet. Clearly, according to my scan of his aura earlier, what he released just now wasn't even his true power, just like as he said. He was holding back the majority of it though."

"Why would he do that?" asked Lazuli as she tried to fix her disheveled blonde hair.

"Maybe... Vegeta truly wanted us to fight against Son Goku and his friends. The way he reacted earlier with the threat to his girlfriend was shocking though. Anyways, we cannot know the extent of Vegeta's true power as my sensors identify a very extraordinary ki within him being highly suppressed."

"Extraordinary ki?" repeated Lazuli, wondering what he meant by that.

"Not anything in my data. It's not really that easy to be detected though. It's almost completely unnoticeable."

"That Vegeta... I did not expect him to be this... this powerful at all. Doctor Gero's data must be completely outdated." Lapiz growled. "The next time we meet I will finish him!"

"Come on and let's get back to the base to report this to Doctor Gero." Android 16 told them.

They all returned to their car and drove their way back to the mountains where Doctor Gero's lab is.

[Age 763, September 4, Paozu Mountains, 21:30]

Vegeta stumbled into the forest that would lead him to the Paozu Mountains. That energy he just released to incapacitate the Androids earlier have drained nearly all of his power. Not to mention the injuries he suffered because he let that Android to just beat him around. Yeah, this is what he wanted after all.

When he finally reached the end of the clearing and found Kakarot's house, he saw his fellow Saiyan about to take off somewhere but was stopped when he sensed him.

"Who's there?" Kakarot asked cautiously, bracing himself in case someone tried to attack him.

Vegeta drew out a few hard breaths, his vision was getting blurred. He couldn't take it anymore and yet he has to go and try and tell Kakarot about the Androids, to regain their trust once again, and to protect his Bulma. As he walked lamely out of the shadows, his legs finally gave out and he collapsed into the ground in complete fatigue.

"Vegeta?!" he heard his fellow Saiyan called out to him in worry and then he was immediately on his side. He didn't expect him to be this... this foolish after what he has done to him, his son and his friends. "Hey Vegeta, hang in there! What the hell happened to you?!" Kakarot's high pitched and irritating voice was ringing on his ears.

Vegeta tried to pry open his eyes to look at his best friend, "Kakarotto... the... the... Androids... they're here... they're already here, Kakarot! And they're going to kill us all!"

TO BE CONTINUED.

Author's notes: Lapiz is Android 17's official name, Lazuli is Android 18's official name. I used the official names to be different.

I will be editing the previous chapters by the next few days to try to improve the description in the story. For the meantime, let me asnwer some of the reviews from the last two chapters.

Review: Wait what happened to android 19 and 20? How is he alive with no heart ?

Answer: They will appear next chapter. And Obviously, it's not exactly Vegeta's heart...

Review: Is it really Vegeta's heart or the other (dead) Vegeta's?

Answer: What do you think?

Review: Will he and Bulma be able to get back together despite so many conflicts?

Answer: Of course, they will.

Review: I'm guessing trunks won't be born or will have a different daddy

Answer: The date in this story is Age 763. Trunks is born at Age 766. It's not time ye for them to create Trunks, right?

Review: Curious why did you switch to first person voice?

Answer: Because I like messing with people's minds and make them feel confused.

Review: I wonder what would happen next? Will Vegeta go after them and kill them all? How is Bulma going to fight him? Was it that device that seals ki that Vegeta used on Yamcha? And what does Vegeta mean by it all ended up the same as that time? I remember somewhere in the past chapters that Vegeta dreaded for Bulma to give him 'that look' I wonder why?

Answer: As stated in this chapter, Vegeta didn't feel like killing as of now. The rest you will find out in the future chapters.

[Next Chapter Preview]

Yamcha: "But what if this is another trap set up by Vegeta?!"

Goku: "it won't hurt to try and see. What if they are really in here? I would want to fight them!"

Irami: "Why did you do that? What was your motive for the murder?"

Vegeta: "The Androids have come earlier than expected. Please watch over at Bulma for me."

Yamcha: "Vegeta! What do you think you're doing in here?!"

Bulma: "How the hell is he wearing that? Did he read my mind or something? I was thinking of making that for him when he fights the Androids but...!"

Vegeta: "Bulma! My dear little Bulma! I finally found you! Watch me! I am going to protect you!"

Irami: "Vegeta-san! Would you like to come up in here for a second? Bulma-san wanted to tell you something!"

Vegeta: "Why? Why are you doing this to me?!"

The Judgment Day has finally arrived... but in the most unexpected time!

Android 20: "I, Doctor Gero have spent my time researching about what could kill you, Son Goku. I have been watching you all these time using microscopic robots and has learned everything about you until your fight with Vegeta. I used that knowledge to create the Androids who would bring the death of you and your friends!"

Krilin: "Y-Yamcha-saaaaaaaaan!"

Goku: "Y-you... T-t-this is... completely unforgivable... Grrrrgh! I will make you pay... for this... with your blood!"
