Nightmare 5 ~ Welcome to Oblivion

"Mm . . . " Vegeta groaned as his eyes opened slowly to catch sight of a white sky.

The small warrior then sat up and rubbed the back of his neck, his hands becoming covered with a liquid. This caused his hand to twitch, then rapidly race back to the front of Vegeta's eyes. His hand . . . it was coated with blood. His eyes widened as he felt his body a lot less lighter than before . . . had he lost weight or . . .

"Vegito . . . ?!" Vegeta quickly snapped out, his head turning from right to left. His son was no longer with him!

The prince got up, a crack on his lower back welcoming him back to consciousness. Without further adieu, the saiyan began to run off into the distance in search of his fruit that came from love. His huffs and puffs accompanied him as it began to rain, the clouds now pitch black. This didn't stop the prince at all, but didn't help but notice the liquid falling onto him wasn't clear, but dark as oil.

"Vegito!" Vegeta screamed again as his feet stopped in their tracks, a guidance sign above him welcoming him to the abandoned town. In black, smudged letters, the sign spoke, "Dark Crystals".

"Dark Crystals? Is this the town's name?" the saiyan whispered to himself.

His eyes wandered to nearly destroyed buildings, his legs telling him to keep on. Vegeta breathed calmly, his air coming back to him as his eyes went from building to building.

"This place . . . it's almost like hell."

Vegeta's eyes wandered around once again as it came across a dark figure before him. He began to walk towards it slowly, the other figure doing the same as if it were his mirror. As soon as he noticed the figure wasn't of his son, but someone else, he stopped. This figure . . . it's skin was dark! He stood taller than even Vegeta himself and Vegito! Frightened, the prince began to run off into another direction, footsteps of the other figure following him close behind.

The prince gasped for air as soon as he hit his half mile run. His lungs causing him to stop, a mysterious hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey."

Vegeta twitched and roundhouse kicked the stranger away as he flew off into the air.

"No! Wait! Don't fly! They'll find us!" the stranger yelled out.

Vegeta, paying no attention, flew up into the clouds, his eyes meeting with . . .

"Huh?! I-I can't see!" Vegeta yelled, the sky pitch black, no sign of light at all.

"God, I should have thought twice . . . I need to get out of here . . . but how?! I'm literally blinded."

The prince gulped as he felt other people's presences . . . they were faint, but he could feel their ki. Vegeta stood still until he felt something breathe on his shoulder.

"You there . . . you're not from here are you?" a creature spoke from behind Vegeta.

"What if I weren't?" Vegeta responded, his pride striking up.

Silence filled the atmosphere for a while, not a sound or creep was done. Vegeta stood there, breathing heavily, feeling the ki's simmer down.

"They're leaving? Good, they better be afriad . . ." Vegeta spoke to himself as he looked down.

"Maybe . . . if I try going back from where I came from I could-"

Vegeta's thoughts were cut short as the ki's of the creatures were shot to the top. Many hands began to grab onto him.

"Geh!"

"You're not leaving anywhere." a voice literally croaked from behind Vegeta as cries were heard across the atmosphere.

"Ah! Let me go!" the prince yelled as he tried pulling out of the grips of the monsters that surrounded him, but to his surprise, the damned creatures were stronger than he thought. His eyes then closed tightly.

"Hold on! I want the big half!"

"Can't we give him a break?"

"Sure, first we can break his legs, then his arms, then we'll take a break."

"Daw, come on! I'm starving!"

Vegeta breathed heavily as he heard the bloodthirsty monsters speak.

"Is this the end?!" Vegeta spoke to himself as he felt a pull to his left leg and right arm.

"No! It isn't!" a familiar voice spoke to him.

"Huh!?" Vegeta's eyes snapped open as he felt a big tug on his upper body which caused him to being dragged back down.

Eyes closed tightly until a huge thud was heard, Vegeta's eyes then swung open. He was back where he used to e, but now the clouds weren't as dark. Snow beginning to fall, Vegeta got up from his savior's body and looked down at him.

"Phew, tha-"

Vegeta's words were cut off, his eyes now wide. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The man that had saved him . . . wasn't just no ordinary man . . . his skin was dark . . . his hair spiked out like Goku's, a red scouter worn to his right side.

"T-Turles?!" Vegeta exclaimed.
