Hi folks. I'm really sorry for all those damn cliff hangers but I have to, or you won't want more. Am I right? But since every other author here tortures me with that, I'm doing it to you. So sorry. But the good thing is, there's always a follow-up to cure the itch of cliff-hangerscrulosis. And it's right here.

A/N:When it gets to the monster/chase sequence, try to picture the monster thing in "The Village", if you've seen it. If you haven't then...make up your own or something.

Rating:PG-13- Mild language, Graphic Violence, Angry Saiyan Princes, Catastrophe

Enter: Prince Vegeta/

Suddenly an immaculate raise in ki brought the Prince's attention to the far west of him. His eyes narrowed as he detected who the increasing but still small ki belonged to. A smirk slid up his cheeks as he realized who it belonged to before he raced off to it on full speed. Confidence filled his entire being as the sweet sense of victory and revenge took its place in him as well.

'Heh heh heh. So the ridiculous female thought she could fool the almighty Saiyan Prince? I'll teach her to attempt to decieve me. And that slimy toad Zarbon... What an idiot to think he would convince the girl to mate with him! Well, I'll just dispose of both of them and make this whole situation a lot more satisfying. Ha ha ha..'

As Vegeta gloated on in his mind of ways to "dispose" of Zarbon and Bulma, both of the others were having a few problems of thier own...

Enter:

"Kami DAMMIT! This girl is severly testing my patience with her! ErrrrARRRGGHH!"

A gigantic, thick spray of ki blasts spread over the dark, rusted ruins of the worn out planet as Zarbon did all in his power to rid himself of the anger the girl had put upon him with her little games. After the dust had dissolved from his sudden outburst, he just stood there, staring at the damage he had caused. His arms folded and he looked out to the east of him, feeling a sudden surge of a vague premonition, an intuition that something would happen. And that something didn't feel good. Not at all.

As if on cue, an awful increase in ki sparked Zarbon's attention. His eyes widened at the power level it approached on and his mouth gaped opened when it did. He got into a defensive pose before going off towards the sudden power.

'It could be Vegeta, but I sense no malice in it. I actually sense...fear? Defense? BOTH!? Those two emotions are the ones the Prince is most immune to! This is most extraordinary...'

As he approached the location, his mind was filled with whose awesome power it was. He had forgotten all about the unsettling feeling he had a moment ago. Little did he know that that moment of uneasiness was linked to something very big...

Enter: Bulma Briefs/

Flashes of her early childhood, her adolescence, her most precious and defining moments; all of these were filled in her head, as if to ease the fear, to make it go faster and with a more fulfilled acceptance. Instead, they only magnified her fear and sadness as they continued to remind her of what she was about to lose. Everything came up to this moment, because this moment was when it all came to a halt. The ones who loved her and hated her, the memories of sadness and happiness, the moments of absolute bliss and pure chaos, and the beautiful feelings of accomplishment and failure. The perspective on death was dependent on all of these; the lack of, the quantity of, or even the quality of them. But she still couldn't shake the feeling of having not marked the Earth, not having people remember her for something she did or made or even said. And she hated it.

Tears brimmed on her eyelids, ever so soft and salty. She cursed herself for ever stepping into that forest, ever allowing such risky circumstances to occur to herself. But she couldn't help that now. She had to clear her mind and find some sort of strength. And she had to find it fast.

The shadow had stepped and she could only see its outline in the moonlight, which was unusually orange. Spikes were visible on its back and it seemed to be at least a foot and a half taller than her, having full advantage to do basically whatever it wanted with her. The tears that were now streaming down her cheeks were not helping since they were practically blinding her and making her alot more vulnerable to the creature's presumed attacks.

It was much closer now, making its hollow breathing clearly audible. She shut her eyes, hoping it would keep her from seeing its true face, and also help keep her sanity in check. She took in a deep breath and gulped, as the thin fluid ran down her dirt-smudged cheeks. A throaty sob escaped her as fear took over, making them almost uncontrollable. She blinked away a stream of tears and they ran down her cheeks once more. Only a second went by and she could almost feel it getting closer. The heat from its heavy breath was almost burning her skin. She took in another deep breath and held it before she felt leathery skin making contact with her face.

Next thing she knew, a slick, rubbery object was sliding around the side of her mouth. Something she could only guess was a tongue. She had the impulse to pull it out of the thing's mouth, but common sense overcame it. But when the tongue nauseatingly flickered over her lips, that was quite enough for her, so instinct kicked in and in one flash, her fist connected with the creatures face, knocking it into the rubber-like tree she was examining earlier. When she slowly realized what she had just done, it was much too late.

Her eyes became huge as it advanced slowly towards her, it slow pace making it ten times more frightening than it already was. The fire of anger glowing in its eyes could be seen even in the velvet darkness of the eventful night, magnifying her already unbearable fear. It was now growling as it still advanced toward her. Using the leftovers of her newfound strength, she got on her hands and knees and went opposite of the creature. Noticing this, it let out an infuriated roar and increased speed. She whimpered as she tried to get faster, but the pine-like bristles on the ground were pinching into her knees, serving as an impediment. She bit her lip before getting to her sore feet as quickly as she could, barely missing a hefty swipe of the creature's gargantuan claw.

She broke into a sprint, but only managed to trip again and bust her lip on the pines. Still on the ground, she looked behind to see where the creature was. When she saw it was nowhere in sight, all breathing she was holding in released itself, relief washing over her fear. Convincing herself that it was a dream, and that those strange men had drugged her, she started to get up. Before she even got on her knees, she looked up to it standing over her, breathing more ruggedly than she had ever heard in any kind of horror movie back home.

"Oh- Kami-" She choked out before ducking one of its swipes and landing backwards. Before she get away further from it, it got her legs with a painful gash of its thick, sharp claws. She started sobbing again, trying to blink the tears away so she could see, but the stinging pain had brought them all up again. She turned and got up in one motion, thanking the Kami above for her lower body strength. She started to run, momentarily forgetting about her leg injury, then limping due to the returned pain to her leg.

But as soon as the creature started after her, the entire planet started to fall apart as well.

Enter: Prince Vegeta

'Yes, the girl and her damned planet is mine!'

The Prince's train of thought hadn't faltered one bit as he started to get closer to the increased ki. The wind was blowing his dark flame of hair around as he approached it, his confidence boosted higher than the ki that had escalated. That was, before he spotted the source of the ki.

First he saw a black blur speeding toward a pink and blue blur. As he got closer, he still couldn't identify the black thing. Growling at his confusion, he sped to the two objects. But before he was even twenty feet away from the creature, it looked over at him, and for a second Vegeta felt a surge of startling fear. Keeping his expression calm, he stared back at the creature, trying intimidate it with his trademark glare. The creature didn't falter, in fact, it didn't do anything at all.

Vegeta looked over at the limping form that was escaping the black beast and realized that it was his target in the first place. A smirk grew on his already triumphant face before it vanished when he looked back at the creature, which had done exactly what his smirk had. He looked around for it, even tried detecting it, but found nothing. Shrugging it off, he advanced towards the girl, who was still limping from her apparent injury.

But before he could reach her, the entire planet started its wrath on the Saiyans' invasion.

Enter: Lt. Zarbon/

Zarbon was much closer to the ki now as his thoughts wandered away about Frieza's increased pride in him, his victory in this ridiculous game, and the surrender of the girl to him. He also couldn't wait to see Vegeta's expression of fury when Frieza renders him useless, giving Zarbon total control of the Prince's fate, Yes, that would be most satisfying indeed.

But all of the malicious thoughts and his breath halted when he spotted the Prince, who was much closer to the ki then he was. Everything in him exploded as absolute anger burnt up inside as his conscious evaluated that the Prince had beaten him in this game. The Prince had beaten him once more and all of Zarbon's confidant predictions had crumbled beneath him. He felt veins popping and his fists hardening like stones as visions of Vegeta, high and mighty, replayed in his mind like a venomous plague.

Blinded with rage, he powered up, giving an outlet to his outright jealousy and anger. He felt everything around him escalate and quake upon his sudden power. A triumphant smirk played on his smooth features when he saw the horrific expressions on Vegeta and the girl... Wait! The girl was...afraid of him? No, he couldn't afford that. Not now when he was so close to winning her. He could pummel Vegeta and show her how much he would do to get her. But that still ran the risk of her thinking he would do the same to her, and he might not win against the prince in the first place.

Suddenly his form was cleared of all the power he had a few seconds ago, and Vegeta was glaring at him as the girl had a look of pure surprise and confusion. But there was a third being, a dark and spiked creature that was there with Vegeta when he arrived at the scene, at least he WAS there. Zarbon face turned to confusion and when Vegeta noticed this, he looked back also to see the creature that had reacted so strangely to his appearance, was now gone. Vegeta looked around and even tried to detect it but found nothing. Shrugging it off, Vegeta turned back at Zarbon and gave a victorious grin, then the two enemies both set after the girl, whose eyes widened in fear before she tried to get away at her highest speed.

But before either got close enough to even touch her, the planet rumbled and chaos swallowed them all whole.
