Author Talk; Wow it has been awhile... I'm going to finally get back to this story. I haven't been writing in ages and have received a few angry e-mails concerning that. I'm not going to say that real life is the issue because that would be a lie... It's fake life... or World of Warcraft... whichever. Anyway I've got a bunch of free time now so I'll try to finish this story.

For now I'm using Bold type to indicate telepathic conversation and Italics to denote inner thoughts for some reason my other methods aren't working...

Chapter 14

Vegeta blink blinked. "He's dead. I think..." He quickly turned looking from Shira to Master Roshi's motionless body. "You may have wished him dead..."

Shira looked concerned. "Umm.. I'm pretty sure I can't do that."

"Well I don't know the abilities of female saiyans... hell I've only really seen one before you... worked with Bardock... can't remember her name..." Vegeta mused as he began to pace the room.

"Shouldn't you check if he's dead?" Shira offered.

"Probably." Vegeta answered absent mindedly.

"Can you do that now then?"

"I thought you wanted him dead... you know.. what with the breast ogling he'd be doing now if he was alive." said Vegeta as he scratched his head and walked over to the body of Master Roshi. "Well only one way to find out if he's still alive." He said as he began to prod at the body with his foot. "Hey... You OK?"

Vegeta continued to prod for a few seconds before Roshi let out a gasp of air. "HOLY SHIT!!! ZOMBIE!!" Vegeta cried as he leapt into the air and then rushed behind Shira.

"Uhhhhh." Roshi moaned.

"AIM FOR THE BRAIN!!! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KILL HIM!!" Vegeta yelled as he scrambled up onto Shira's back grasping frantically at her clothes with one hand and pointing a shaking hand at Master Roshi.

"What... Happened?" Roshi asked himself in a tired voice.

"Talking... zombie?" Vegeta queried with a cocked eyebrow. He slowly released his death grip on Shira's cloths and slid down her back. "I think he's ok..."

"Course I'm ok." Roshi said slowly bringing himself to his feet. "You think some whippersnapper could lay me out?"

"Umm.. I mean... I didn't see what happened... but I'm going to assume that some 'whippersnapper' laid you out." Vegeta said, edging towards Master Roshi.

Roshi grinned. "Oh.. you would assume that eh?" He said pulling his trunks up. "You would assume wrong!"

"Then that's not your drool puddle on the floor... and covering half of you face." Vegeta said pointing at the wet spot on the floor and then to the one that glistened on Roshi's wrinkled face.

"Nope!" Roshi declared triumphantly.

Vegeta bent down and picked something off of the floor. "This isn't your tooth?" He said holding a yellowed tooth with small flecks of half dried blood encrusting it.

"Umm..." Roshi felt around his mouth. "Yeah that's mine... BUT THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING!"

Vegeta tossed the tooth to Roshi, who caught it and set about trying to put it back in his head. "Right... Anyway we're looking for Piccolo... and like everything in this universe it's taking a very long time and wearing my patience thin. So cough up any information you have on the green alien so we can be on our way."

Roshi grinned. "Oh… looking for Piccolo eh? I may know a few things."

Vegeta sighed. "Then tell me."

"FIRST! A favor." Roshi said with a lecherous smile.

"Name it…"

Roshi looked over at Shira. Then back at Vegeta. "Well…."

"NO!!" Shira cried out. "If it has anything to do with me forget it!"

Vegeta looked over at Shira who had crossed her arms over her chest and was pouting. "Ok… a different favor then?"

Roshi looked sad. "Sorry… I have my mind set on it."

Vegeta mimicked Roshi's sad face. "Oh… that's too bad… I wonder how long we'll have to kick the shit out of you before you tell us what we want to know."

Roshi was taken aback. "WAH! YOU WOULDN'T!"

Shira cracked her knuckles. "Wouldn't think twice about it."

Roshi began to blabber. "Umm.. ah… well… when you put it that way…"

----------------------------

Puar woke up covered in egg rolls. She had been sleeping in dumpsters for the last few days attempting to follow the trail of the androids that killed Yamcha. She had thought that she had seen a giant dragon in the sky yesterday and had followed it only to find a strange man in a motorcycle helmet and a bizarre costume running off holding his head. The trail had picked up again though and Puar was following to the best of her ability. Soon she would find the androids responsible. Soon she would have her revenge.

Slick and Greasy sat in a ramen bar thinking over their situation. "So we've been chasin' dragon nuts and givin' back the dragon his seven nuts let's us make a wish." Slick mused as he slurped down some ramen.

Greasy nodded. "Yup… that's what's going on I guess. So what's our next move Slick?"

Slick shrugged. "The dragon testicle locater seems broked."

"You mean it's borked?" Greasy interjected.

"I dun told you, you can only bork soccer balls…" Slick said, correcting his friend.

"Can you bork dragon balls?" Greasy asked his mental gears shaking off some rust.

"Yeah I guess so… but who would want to?" Slick said, finishing his ramen and ordering another bowl.

Greasy played his chopsticks on the counter like drumsticks. "I dunno… but if we borked us some dragon balls we might be able to make a new wish… like to be able to understand Poodigger."

Slick shrugged. "Yeah maybe… and I thought his name was Ike…"

Greasy nodded as he picked his nose with one of the chopsticks. "Yeah.. Ike Gefelter… I wonder where he is now?"

Slick shrugged again and started on his new ramen bowl. "Probably in dragon jail for not giving us wishes."

"Yeah probably." Greasy said as he began to eat his ramen.

--------------------

Vegeta closed the door to Master Roshi's shack behind him. "OK… so Piccolo should be in the mountains somewhere that way." He said pointing off at a mountain range.

"Yeah that's what the old pervert said." Shira said looking at the mountain range.

"Alright lets….. whoa…" Vegeta began to reel. He fell to his knees and propped himself up with one hand, grasping his head with the other. "What's… happening?" He asked as his vision fogged.

"Vegeta?" Shira asked in a worried voice. "Are you OK?"

A moment later Vegeta stood up. "I'm fine Shira… where am I? This isn't planet Vegeta?" Vegeta kicked back and into the air, his ki flaring. "WHAT HAPPENED!!?!" He yelled glancing around frantically.

"Vegeta… you are worrying me…" Shira said holding her hands up to her mouth.

Suddenly Vegeta stopped looking around and began to fall to the ground. Shira rushed over to him and managed to catch him before he hit the ground. "Wha… Shira?... what happened?"

Shira held him close to her chest. "It's ok… your alright now…" She said in a comforting tone.

Vegeta attempted to fight being pulled into Shira's ample bosom but gave up not having the strength. "I don't know what came over me."

Shira shushed him and started to rock him as if he were a child. "It's ok love… I have you…"

Vegeta pushed himself back slightly. He looked up at Shira and grinned. "You don't have to mother me." Shira let him go looking slightly ashamed. "It's ok… I… I don't know what happened there, and I can't tell you it won't happen again… so just… watch out for me will you?"

Shira smiled and leaned in to hug Vegeta. "Of course."

Vegeta smiled as he hugged her back. What just happened… He asked of King Kai telepathically.

Whoa… Vegeta… I haven't heard from you in a while. King Kai responded emanating confusion.

Yeah I know Kai… but something weird just happened to me… I was wondering if you noticed anything? Vegeta asked as Shira started to stroke his hair.

To be honest Vegeta I wasn't really watching you… but I know a few people who were… I'll ask them if they saw something odd. Kai said.

Vegeta felt Kai mentally disengage and snapped back to the real world where Shira was comforting him. I really don't know why I keep fighting this… it's kinda nice. He thought as he gave into Shira's warmth.

------------------------

Kame… you were watching Vegeta weren't you? Kai telepathically asked.

Kai felt the strong mental presence of Kame guardian of Earth. Yes… it seems a sprit attacked him… I'm not adept in the realm of sprits so I wasn't able to identify it or discern what it wanted.

Kai frowned. Thank you Kame… you have confirmed what I suspected.

As Kai started to leave the mental conversation he felt Kame once more sending his thoughts to him. May I ask what it was? I am very interested in this boy and would like to know if there is anything I can do.

Kai's frown grew. I'm afraid there isn't much either of us can do right now… but I will tell you what I suspect. Kai paused to gather his thoughts. He is being attacked by the sprit that used to reside in his body… I think it is attempting to regain control. Most likely to get revenge.

Revenge for what? Kame asked feeling worried.

The destruction of Planet Vegeta.

End of Chapter.

Notes: OOOH cliffhanger… I hope people enjoy this… I don't even know if people are tracking this story any more… I've been on hiatus for ages now and I keep sorta going on and off. Well I want to finish off this story so try to hang on whoever is reading.

Email: ahold of me for anything, cause I'm pretty much up for it.
