Author's Notes: The warning has been deleted in this chapter because from this point Vegeta will act like his usual 'evil' self now after the truth has been revealed. From this chapter and probably the next two chapters would be a flashback to the thirteenth Universe where a few things will be narrated. Though the three-year love story between Vegeta and Bulma would be separated from this series in a prequel entitled 'Crimson-filled Desires'.
Chapter 32: Ambitions
[Fourteenth Universe, Age 763, November 03, 00:15)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I desperately tried to concentrate and focus all my rage to open up the hole where Bulma and Towa disappeared but found out that I couldn't. "Damn it, damn it damn it! Damn it, Bulma! Don't do it! Don't look! Don't listen to her! Please! Don't listen to her! NO!"
I released my ki and powered up to my full power, "OPEN UP and LET ME IN, DAMMIT! BULMAAAAAA! DON'T LISTEN TO HER, I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE!" I cried out.
After all my failed attempts, I realized that no matter what I do, I couldn't open up the warp hole where Bulma and Towa disappeared.
So this is Towa's doing after all. Darn that demon woman! My fists clenched in with my impatience. Looks like I have to wait for them to return, if Bulma saw everything, then I have no other choice…
I let out an evil grin at the thought.
It wouldn't be a problem… After all, I already did it once. It would be easy now,
Bulma, this was your entire fault… If you didn't show me what that human emotion felt like, I wouldn't have done anything like this. I love you. I loved you more than anything in this universe. You were the first ever person to make me feel anything like it and made me feel it until…
I closed my eyes and began to recall his previous life in a flashback of happy, bitter and sad memories.
[Flashback from the Thirteenth Universe]
For three years, Vegeta trained harder than he has ever done his entire life in order to achieve the level of the Super Saiyan. He nearly killed himself several times, injured himself in horrible ways, and yet he would always get back up, survive several near deaths and grew stronger and stronger. However, He couldn't achieve the legendary transformation no matter how much his powers had grown. He thought it was due to his loss of concentration every time he and that blue haired woman whom he lived with interact. Since that day the Saiyan Prince first met her on Planet Namek, he finds her presence constantly annoying, let alone the way she speaks and acts before him nearly irritated him like no one has ever done. He couldn't understand the strange feelings she was making him feel every time were together, and he thought that these interactions with the woman has distracted him more than enough. So he decided to go to the depths of space and train there, away from her.
It was there where he first transformed, basically due to his rage and need to surpass Kakarot, and survived the destruction of the planet he was in. Finally achieving the power of a Super Saiyan, Vegeta returned to Earth to show everyone his newfound powers and destroy the terrible Androids predicted by the boy from the future who appeared before them three years ago.
And it turned out too much easy for him.
[Thirteenth Universe, Age 766, May 10, Mountain Road, 12:30]
The Prince of Saiyans stood before the destroyed pieces of the mechanical parts that used to be the terrible Androids 16, 17 and 18. In his glorious Super Saiyan form, Vegeta let out a satisfied smile as his looked over at his work. They are completely nothing against his great Super Saiyan power!
"Father!" he heard a teenaged boy's voice call out to him as a purple haired boy came over him along with Krilin, Tien and Piccolo. Vegeta turned around to face them with a proud smirk.
"So this is the terrible Androids you were talking about, eh? Look at them now. It is clear that they are no match against me!" Vegeta told the teenage boy, whom he just realized was his son named Trunks from the future. He was the same boy who appeared before them three years ago.
"That's – …!" Tienshinhan muttered in disbelief as they all looked into the shattered parts of the horror they are so terrified of.
"Father… defeated them all by himself?" Trunks cannot believe what he was seeing too.
"Yoo-hoo!" Krilin laughed in joy. "We did it! We won! We won! Wow, Vegeta! I can't believe how powerful you've gotten! Congratulations!" he said.
Piccolo just glared at me with a hard look. The Saiyan prince glared back at him equally. "Hmph! I don't need your praise, baldy! Has any one of you heard of Kakarot? How is he?"
"We're going to visit him anytime soon, and tell him your victory! I'm sure he'll be glad!" Krilin said.
"Hmph! You tell him to my regards. Tell him that as soon as he recovers from his heart illness, let him come to me, at the mountain ranges where we first had our battle. I have a score and a grudge to settle with him. If you don't send my message, I will hunt you down and make you scream in horror until he comes to me to save you!"
"What?!" Tienshinhan shouted. "You mean to tell us that after you make us all think that you are on our side, you would suddenly turn on us?!"
"Who says I was fighting on your side? Fool! Don't make me laugh!" Vegeta said as he rolled his eyes and laughed sarcastically back at the three eyed Earthling. "I fight for the sake of my own purposes, not for anyone or anything that has something to do with you, or the humans or this mudball."
"Are you going to kill Goku?" Krilin asked,swallowing fearfully.
Vegeta just stared at bald-headed Earthling and smiled, "What do you think?"
"You bastard!" Piccolo shouted, falling into his fighting stance.
"What? Don't tell me you want to fight me, Piccolo? Are you sure you can match me in my Super Saiyan form?"
Vegeta let out a sigh, powered down and returned to his base form. He then levitated off the ground, "Don't worry, I won't be harming any of you today to celebrate my victory against the Androids. Have fun and enjoy the peace I'm giving you for a while. I'll see you soon… when I deliver your souls to the otherworld! Bwahahahahahahahahaha!" then he blasted off into the sky with incredible speed.
"Wait! Father!" Trunks said as he went after him towards somewhere, leaving Krilin, Tien and Piccolo by themselves.
As Vegeta flew across the sky, feeling ecstatic about his own victory, he stared at his fists with a triumphant smile. "At long last I am the Super Saiyan of Legend. If I were to kill Kakarot, I will be the best in the universe. But not now. Not yet. I wouldn't want a dirty victory with him if I were to kill him as he lies in the bed while suffering from his heart illness. I would wait for him to recover in order for him to fight me with everything he got! Get well soon, Kakarot. I couldn't wait to settle things with you!"
[Thirteenth Universe, Age 766, May 13, 8:30, Gizard Wasteland]
After waiting for three long days, Son Goku arrived to where Vegeta stood. A very memorable place where there were several mountain ranges that stood high and tall across the entire terrain. This is the Gizard Wasteland, where Goku and Vegeta first battled each other almost four years ago. Vegeta decided to wait for him in here, unmoving for days, quite ecstatic about the challenge he issued on the lower class soldier. Standing on top of this rock while staring at the human-shaped crater beneath the ground below him for days has made him remember all those humiliation he suffered during their first battle. The great Vegeta-sama, the prince of all Saiyans, surpassed and humiliated by a low-level trash. That fact he cannot ever accept.
"Hi there, Trunks! What's up?!" Goku greeted the boy who was a few feet behind me. Vegeta was suddenly reminded that Trunks was there for three days, sitting on a rock and watching at his back. At first, the Saiyan Prince tried to get him away from him, but the boy remained as stubborn as he is so the prince decided to just ignore the boy as if he was not there in the first place.
"Goku-san!" Vegeta heard the boy greeted back. He almost wanted to puke at way he called the low-class clown, it was with outmost respect. He almost wanted to roll his eyes and pull his lips off his teeth in a snarl of pure disgust.
"You grew up! Good! It looks like you've gotten more powerful than the last time I saw you!"
"Thank you," Trunks answered politely.
"No, Thank you for saving me. You are the reason why I'm here alive and well."
"Eheh,"
"So, how's Vegeta?"
"He's over there, staring down at the mountain ranges without moving for three days straight. I… I tried to change his mind about –"
Goku cut him off and said. "I accept Vegeta's challenge. I'm here to fight him."
That announcement from Kakarot made Vegeta's heart pound in excitement. Of course, he would accept it, unless he wanted this planet and all its inhabitants as collateral for not giving Vegeta the satisfaction to his revenge.
This shocked Trunks, "B-but Goku-san!"
"No worries, Trunks! Vegeta cannot kill me."
How sure is he of that? What a fool.
Vegeta sensed Kakarot walk forward towards where he stood.
"Osu! Vegeta!" he greeted.
"So you've finally come, Kakarot," the Saiyan Prince answered without turning his head to look at his rival.
"Yeah, I heard you've finally turned Super Saiyan and defeated the Androids, congratulations!" Goku said.
Vegeta didn't reply. He could feel him stare at him apprehensively. He probably sensed the brooding evil energy on the prince's aura as Vegeta continued staring below him.
"Do you remember this place, Kakarot?" Vegeta's voice was devoid of any emotion, it's almost robotic.
"Yeah, this is the place where we first fought, isn't it?"
"This is where I suffered my first humiliation when you fucking saved my life," the prince's voice becomes bitter, his lips pulled away from his gritted teeth.
"Yeah, it could be that…"
Vegeta instantly turned around, his expression twisted with pure, unadulterated rage as his body shook with the anger he was feeling boiling inside of him. "Don't say 'it could be that' you fool! This is the place where you stole my honor and my pride away from me!" he yelled at Goku. The low-class warrior stepped back as he sensed the prince's ki starting to rise. "I was the Saiyan Prince, the prodigy of our race! And yet, you surpassed me in strength and power, stripped me of my pride and honor, my destiny! What's more annoying is that you saved my life as if I was a helpless child! That, I will never forgive you! You are going to pay for it, with your life!" Vegeta's sight began to turn red and Goku watched in panic. "Fight me! Fight me, Kakarot! I will make you pay for your debts NOW!"
Goku just stared at Vegeta. Whatever anger issues the prince have with him and was trying to suppress it for four years, was now beginning to resurface once again. He could feel Vegeta's evil ki was beginning to boil over his entire being brought by his uncontrollable rage. What more if the prince transforms into a Super Saiyan, which enhances a Saiyan's rage and thirst for battle?
"Alright, Vegeta. I accept your challenge!" Kakarot exclaimed.
Vegeta grinned evilly back at him, "Of course, you would! You will not deprive me of my right to reclaim what is rightfully mine, idiot! Be prepared! I will kill you, KAKAROTTO!" the prince fell into his signature fighting stance while Goku leapt away from flaming haired Saiyan into the rock formation before him and fell into his own fighting stance. These battle stances were completely identical to the one they had during our first battle on Earth.
This is the long awaited battle that would determine who the strongest Saiyan is. This is the most important battle for Vegeta. However, this battle isn't about just out of primal thirst for battle, it's more of a battle of pride, of ideals… and of vengeance.
The battle began with Kakarot flaring his Kaioken and charging right towards Vegeta with a powerful right hook. The Prince released his ki and prepared to counter the upcoming attack.
The rest of the Z fighters sensed the clash of two powerful energies coming from Goku and Vegeta's battle from each of their locations across the Earth. The battle that they dreaded to come has begun. They all decided to come over the Gizard Wasteland to watch at the fierce battle between the two pure-blooded Saiyans. They found Trunks watching in awe at the battle unfolding. They also found that Vegeta and Goku have transformed into their Super Saiyan forms and were having an all-out battle. At first they both seemed equal, however, soon Goku finds himself growing tired of Vegeta's relentless rage-filled attacks and began to fight a losing battle. The prince was still fueled with his rage, almost like an adrenaline rush into him and continued to pummel Goku. The Z fighters were terrified of Vegeta's action, it was as if the prince had succumbed into his animal side and was rampaging in a wrathful berserk.
Goku was losing, he didn't know why he continued to lose his ki while Vegeta was just beginning to tap deeper and deeper into his hidden reserves of power. He wondered where the prince was getting that kind of energy. Soon enough, Goku couldn't take it anymore and he crashed into the ground completely beaten and broken.
But this doesn't stop the Saiyan Prince. He levitated off the ground and began to summon forth all of his powers and concentrated it into creating his most powerful attack so far. The earth began to tremble before him as the thunderclouds covered the skies, sending lightning all over the entire battlefield.
"Woah! That's a lot of power! If Vegeta releases that attack then the entire Earth would be destroyed!" Krilin panicked.
Sensing the amount of power put into the attack, Goku panicked and so he pleaded the enraged prince. "Vegeta, stop it! Please don't do this!" he shouted, desperate to try and stop Vegeta from destroying the Earth. However, he was only answered with a loud, mad cackle that echoed across the entire battlefield. It was as if Vegeta was ignoring his pleas. Goku concluded that there's nothing he can do but to counterattack and give it his all. He called forth the remaining strength he has and concentrated it on creating the Kamehameha.
"KAAAAAA… MEEEEEEEE….. HAAAAAAAAA…. MEEEEEEEEEE….!"
Meanwhile, Vegeta was giving all of his powers into his attack. When he found Kakarot do his Kamehameha move, he thought how foolish the low-class Saiyan was. Does he actually think he could stand up against his most powerful attack? The Final Flash will definitely vaporize him completely!
"Fool! You think you can stand up to my most powerful attack, Kakarot? Fine, then die trying!" the prince's voice echoed loud and clear across the battlefield. "FINAL FLAAAAAAASSSHHHH!" The Saiyan Prince screamed as released his Final Flash technique in a devastating yellowish white beam of pure ki.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Goku thrust his hands forward and released a bluish white blast to collide with the Final Flash. A powerful shockwave shook the entire battlefield as the two blasts collided with each other. At first, the two blasts seemed to struggle to overpower the other and both warriors strained to gain control, to increase the power of their attacks. However, it didn't last as Goku's remaining power began to falter while the enraged Vegeta's attack continued to increase in power.
"NO! I will never allow this happen once again Kakarot! I will not allow you to defeat me once again just as that time! This is going to be your end! DIE!" Vegeta screamed as he released all the hate and rage he's feeling towards the low class warrior, amplifying the devastating power of the Final Flash. Soon, the Kamehameha wave was completely overwhelmed by the Final Flash. The Earth raised hero felt the prince's attack overcome him and felt his skin smoldering by the scorching heat of the energy.
Goku was completely devastated by shock and regret. He knew Vegeta was a man who is capable of change. He knew it because of the existence of Trunks, his son with Bulma. He strongly believed that the prince has changed from the once cold-hearted murderer into something much better.
A better man and a better warrior.
But why? How did it suddenly turn out into this? He believed that after the mercy and compassion they showed towards Vegeta, he would realize that there is nothing to happen if he was controlled by hatred and his desire for vengeance. In fact, earlier he had a certain faith in him that he will not kill him.
He felt betrayed as well. He knew that they had somehow rubbed Vegeta off. He knew he had a softer side to him which only one person has ever been shown. And that was his first love.
He knew Vegeta changed because of her but why was he all too willing to risk everything he has ever learned to care for this? Was pride and power that important to him more than his loved ones? Goku knows that the true answer to that question was just a painful realization.
His only regret was that he was not able to protect Gohan and Chichi… and his friends. He knew that after this fight, Vegeta would surely go after them. He could only hope that he was wrong.
"Goodbye Chichi… Gohan… I'm sorry and I love you…"
Those were Goku's last thoughts before his entire body got completely vaporized by Vegeta's power.
The ensuing explosion after that was echoed by Gohan's cry and Vegeta's mad laughter.
"H-He really did it… Vegeta really did kill Goku…" Krilin trembled in fear and disbelief. Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, Tienshinhan and Yamcha stood behind him with mouths agape at they all looked on the smoke and dust caused by the detonation of Vegeta's Final Flash.
Goku's nine year old son was overwhelmed with grief and tears at the sudden lost of his father. All his life he always belief his father was resilient and will never lose, especially when he became a Super Saiyan. He had a great faith in him that's why he just couldn't believe his eyes when his father was completely overwhelmed by that… that…
He also couldn't believe that Vegeta will do this. He didn't know if the Saiyan Prince lost his mind and completely reverted back to the way when he first came down to Earth.
"D-Daddy…" he cried as his knees fell into the ground. Everyone around him towards him and Krilin approached the boy to comfort him.
"Hey Gohan, it's going to be okay, boy. We will revive Goku with the Dragon Balls soon so you have nothing to worry about." Krilin said.
Just as Gohan was about to be filled with hope, he saw a yellow beam of ki energy passed by on his side, went towards Piccolo and passed cleanly through the Namekian warrior's chest. Gohan watched, completely stunned just as his teacher's dead body fell backwards. Krilin, Tienshinhan and Yamcha also stared at what happened, completely didn't know what just occurred.
"Pi… Piccolo-saaaaaaaan!" Gohan's loud cry of grief echoed across the wasteland as he stumbled towards the dead body of his mentor.
A dark chuckle made the Z-fighters snapped their heads up above them to see Super Saiyan Vegeta levitating at the sky, with his index finger still pointing towards them. It was obvious that it was him who fired that deadly ki beam that has killed Piccolo. That sinister grin on his lips and those cruel green eyes made him more evil looking that he normally was.
Trunks screamed, "Father, what do you think you're doing?!"
Vegeta's cold eyes looked down on the teenager, "I will not let anyone of you try to revive that low-class trash again," he coldly announced.
At the sight of him, the remaining Z-fighters fell into defensive stances, bracing themselves for Vegeta's attack at them. This made the evil prince laugh madly at their attempt, "Bwahahahahahahahahaha! What are you doing? Do you think you could even defend yourselves against me? Oh please!" he hollered in laughter. He turned to glare at his future son, looking at him as if he were challenging him. "Trunks, I didn't think you had it in you to challenge your own dear father! Your feelings will stop you and that's what makes you weak! If you think you can stand up to me then be my guest!" he taunted.
Gohan's glare at him was menacing and hateful. The boy's teeth were gritted as his body shook with along his growing rage. "You…" he growled. Vegeta eyes turned to him and looked at him oddly as he felt the boy's power rose.
Completely alarmed by the amplifying power within Gohan, the prince made his move before this situation become uncontrollable for him. He knew of Gohan's legendary rage boosts and if he let it go on, the boy might go Super Saiyan and completely overwhelm him.
As the ground shook before Gohan's rising power, the air around him thicken and the boy's head jerked as his hair flashed gold and his eyes turn green, Vegeta raised his two fingers towards Gohan.
The next moment Gohan's body exploded to blood and gore, showering the terrified Krilin, Tienshinhan and Yamcha with it. Trunks looked on in stunned silence. He cannot believe what his father just did.
"G-G-Gohan…!" Krilin said, trembling.
Vegeta rolled his tongue across his lips, licking delightfully at the sight. "My, my… what a beautiful firework," He uttered delightfully. "That was close, indeed. I couldn't let him get a grasp on the power only I should have, could I?"
Trunks' battle stance widened, his hand grasping the handle of his sword on its holster that was on his back. His blue eyes glaring at his own father with animosity but he was uncertain whether to attack him or not. Vegeta saw this reaction and a wide evil smirk stretched on his lips. He tilted his head on the side, his eyes challenging the future warrior to try and attack him but the boy stayed frozen by his indecision.
He mocked his own son, "What's the matter, Trunks? Don't have the guts to attack your own father? Hahahahahahaha!" he laughed, throwing his head back. "Just as I have thought, you clearly didn't inherit my battle and killer instincts but your foolish mother's softness! Ahahahahahahaha!"
Trunks growled at the mention of his mother. Why does his father despise his mother so much? He couldn't understand why he could not love his mother the way she does with him. Was Vegeta really that cold-hearted that he cannot allow himself to feel love? Or was it just his pride that doesn't allow him to realize and accept those feelings he has for Bulma?
Abruptly, he turned his finger towards Krilin, Yamcha and Tien, and he lifted them up into the sky. The three Earthlings struggled against his telekinetic powers, and he watched at their futile attempts sadistically.
"Father! Stop it!" Trunks pleaded.
The prince just smiled at him before he made their bodies explode to pieces, Trunks watched in stunned horror as the blood and gore of his friends rain down into the wasteland.
Everything he has done to save this world from the Androids has been all but futile. Yes, the Androids in this timeline were destroyed and that was good but in exchange for this? Why? Has his father gone insane, overwhelmed by his Saiyan killer instincts and snapped? Or did Vegeta chose this path, choosing pride and power over the things he cared for?
His desire to save his father from the terrible fate that awaited him against the Androids turned into something unforgivable.
His father who he had yearned for since he was very young, who had been his aspiration… was smashed to smithereens…
His mother from the future's voice repeated in his head… "But he also had good things about him. He was very proud, and not the kind of person to show his gentleness, but… I could tell."
I-it's a lie… He doesn't have any good in him!
Trunks suddenly felt an overwhelming hatred of his father. He's an unpleasant person! Completely evil, rotten to the very core! He deserved to die, just like what happened in the future!
Vegeta watched as Trunks exploded in his Super Saiyan form, and charged angrily towards him with his sword. The prince simply raised his two fingers to block the incoming blade before it sliced through him. Trunks was surprised that his father was able to block his sword. Other than that, he felt paralyzed all throughout his body. His body stayed frozen above Vegeta. His father's cold glare bore into him. He realized that his father was using telekinesis at him, restraining him from moving. Trunks tried to fight back, to summon more of his powers from deep within himself but Vegeta's hold on him was too powerful for him to resist. How did his father get this powerful?
"Hehehehe… That's right, Trunks. Are you feeling angry now that you have realized the truth of your father's nature?" he asked. "I am the Saiyan Prince, a Super Elite warrior! At my fingertips I held the power to destroy entire worlds! I have pure royal blood in me, the last of our kind and in my shoulders rest the glory of a proud warrior race! Entire civilizations trembled at the sound of my name! But it was on this planet that all of that has changed! I, the great Vegeta-sama, was feared across the universe! I will not allow anything that would hinder me from my true destiny! After I am done with you, I am going to kill all of humanity and destroy the Earth, and then… and then, I shall become the ruler of this universe, just as I was meant to be.
"But do not worry, my son. Because you are my offspring, I will give you a chance to join me in my conquest."
"I will never join you!" Trunks screamed.
Vegeta stared at the eyes of his son, looking for signs of any uncertainty of his response. He could see that the boy was of pure heart and no matter what he does, Trunks will always refuse to be like him, to accept and embrace his Saiyan heritage. "Hmph! What a waste." Vegeta responded with disappointment. "You know very well that your refusal to my offer is considered as betrayal to the crown prince. Kakarot did the same thing and I killed him because he was a traitor. My son or not, you shall receive the same punishment I dealt with him."
He raised a hand and reached out so that his palm was on Trunks' left chest. "Now, you will join him in the otherworld." And then he charged a deadly ki blast that passed through the half-Saiyan's chest that instantly killed him.
The prince of Saiyans turned around and fired another ki blast that obliterated Trunks' corpse completely.
Finally, it was over.
The very thought that he will now stand as the universe's most powerful warrior electrified Vegeta with extreme euphoric feeling and he began to laugh out loud with overwhelming joy at his victory. "Wahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yes! Yes! At last! I did it! I am finally the strongest in the entire universe! Whahahahahaha!"
He danced around in joy, firing small ki beams across the sky, which exploded around like some fireworks. His joy was so overwhelming he thinks that his woman will be very proud of him.
Being reminded of Bulma, his felicity faded. He wasn't sure how she would react about him killing all of her precious little friends but he decided that it really doesn't matter to him anymore. His relationship with her has long-since ended and he could care less about her or their infant son.
Or maybe, he would simply let her live as token of appreciation for all she has done for him. Maybe he would let her and the boy live so long as she wouldn't dare to stop him of his plans of universal domination.
He returned to Capsule Corporation where Bulma, who has their son on her arms, waited for him.
When he found her, she was looking at him with concern. Perhaps she was afraid to hear some bad news coming from him, seeing his face full of joy like that. So without speaking to him, she turned around, giving him a half-hearted smile as she went inside the house and walked inside of Baby Trunks' room. Vegeta followed her there. "You've returned," she said, avoiding his eyes as she laid her sleeping son on his crib. She was feeling awkward around him after having a rough relationship with him.
"I need a spaceship. I have to leave now," he orsdered at her, his voice emotionally detached. Bulma's eyes furrowed, confused by his words.
Bulma turned around, "You will leave again?" she asked him exasperatedly.
"Yes," Vegeta answered her with his cold eyes boring into her.
Bulma's shock could be seen through her eyes as she gawked at him in complete disbelief.
"And I do not intend to return to this pathetic mudball of a planet anymore." He announced.
"Why?" she asked.
He smiled at her, "I have nothing to do in here anymore. I have done everything I needed to do, there's nothing left for me to fight for."
At his words, Bulma finally realized, "You killed Son-kun?!" she screamed at him disbelief.
Vegeta looked back at her as if the answer to that should be very obvious, "What do you think, woman?" he sneered at her.
Slap!
He felt his head snapped rightwards, hearing a loud slapping sound. He didn't feel any pain at that sudden attack from a pathetic woman like her, but it made him want to retaliate. He glared at her warningly with his dark, obsidian eyes, a look of his eyes that would have made any other being in the universe scamper away in fear that they might induced his wrath, but Bulma didn't falter or fear him. She was purely angry at him, and the fire that burned alit from her cerulean orbs made him want to scamper away from her instead. It was a look of pure disgusted hatred that could have damned him towards the deepest part of hell.
"You jerk!" she screamed at him. "How could you do this to us, you fucking son of a bitch! How dare you betray us after all that we have done for you, you ungrateful bastard! Have you lost your mind or did becoming a Super Saiyan damaged your monkey brain even worse that what Frieza has ever done to you that you have to do this, huh?!"
The prince didn't answer; he just stared at her with that cold look on his eyes.
"Answer me you fucking son of a bi – !"
Bulma's roar was cut off when he finally snapped at her. He grabbed her tightly on her arms and pushed her into a nearby wall. His grip on her arms were firm, like steel and she could feel as if he was about to crush her arms with his strength but he was trying his best not to. On the background, their infant son wailed at the noise.
Bulma looked up at Vegeta's cold eyes, and she gasped out loud, horrified to see that his irises were not the same obsidian orbs she used to love. They're glowing crimson, the same crimson red as the eyes of the Oozaru beast within the Saiyans. And that look alone frightened her to the core.
"Who said that I was fighting on your side in the first place? I only returned to Earth to test my newfound strength against those pathetic Androids and I have already told you so many times that after I am done with them, I am going to kill Kakarot and some others who would get in my way. And then, after I am done with that, I will kill the entire humanity and destroy the Earth. Once I am finished, I will go and conquer the rest of the Universe. Have you forgotten all of that?" He told her.
Yes, he did mention it a lot of times during his training but she never thought that he will go by those plans after all that has happened between them. She always knew it that Vegeta was a very stubborn man and when he set his mind on things; he will do everything in his power to get whatever he wants. Yes, he was an evil bastard, perhaps purely evil, a devil incarnate. She has always told herself that he was beyond redemption but inside of her she knew he was capable of change. That he could be a good person and she was the very first person to see through that. So why has he done this? Was it all just an act to get what he wanted?
"But why?" she asked him. "Why do you have to go and do it, Vegeta? You already have me and Trunks… You're not this way. You're going down the path where I cannot follow you," she said clinging to hope that she could persuade him away from his ambition to dominate the universe. "I thought that you love me – ."
"Love you? Hahahahaha…" He laughed a bitter laugh. A disparaging grin stretched on his lips as he shook his head bitterly, "I never said that I love you." He gave a certain emphasis at the words never and love. "We're already over, woman, you must know that. I could care less about whatever happens to you or that bastard child of yours –," he was cut off when Bulma abruptly hit his groin with her knee but he didn't feel anything.
Again, she glared at him with that disgusted hateful look. "I will not build you any spaceship, Vegeta," she told her. "Do whatever you want with me but I will not give you anything anymore! I regret helping a remorseless, ungrateful bastard like you!" she screamed at him. "Heck, you could just kill me now!"
Bulma's eyes bore into his, taunting him, "If you're so tough and ruthless, DO IT, Vegeta! Kill me!"
He stared at her, quite shocked at her fury. She doesn't seem to fear him and this alarmed him so much. How could someone like this woman exist, someone who was not scared at someone like him, the Legendary Destroyer of Worlds, at all?
Vegeta let out a snort as he finally let her go, pushing her off of him, "I won't kill you," He announced, smirked back at her mischievously.
Bulma blinked back at him, so he really didn't want to do this huh?
"See? I know you. You didn't want to do this." She told him as she reached out to touch his face. "Please. Stop this and stay with me and your son." But he took her hand and pulled away from him as he glared at her blue eyes.
"I will give you another chance, woman. One month. By the time I returned, make sure that my spaceship is ready."
