If Death Comes Near

Chapter 2: Next mission: Going to Earth

Note. : that female voice of Vegeta's space pod.

The Saiyan Prince did not know how he felt. He felt beaten and angry at the same time and he could not figure out what missed him too, 'The strange feeling I get every day since I came back from Earth. What is this feeling? Why am I feeling a bit 'sad?'?' The words kept on going in Vegeta's mind, 'Oh yeah, that idiot, Kakarot! Wait and see what I'll do to you Kakarot! I'll have my revenge on you in no time, wait and see. You have crushed the only thing I have left, my pride.'
 After Vegeta left Frieza's Meeting Room, he thought about putting some clothes on, since he was regenerated naked and having a shower. Sure, he healed himself in the Regeneration Tank, but the liquid was not strong enough to make you very clean, let alone smelling better. He was going to do that after he was done with Frieza.
'I know that Frieza would not kill me. I am too valuable for that.' Vegeta smirked at the thought, 'Maybe even too valuable for Frieza.'
 After Vegeta left the Regeneration Tank chamber, he went straight into the direction of Frieza's personal chamber. But what he did not noticed is a purple tall alien smirking at him.

At first Vegeta did not mind the goofball, but then he began to feel uneasy about the strange look in his eyes, "Out of my way, Kuwi!" Kuwi opened his mouth to speak to Vegeta with an annoying grin on his face. But then Vegeta punched Kuwi in the stomach, yelling at the fallen warrior, "GET OUT OF MY WAY! I can not even go to Frieza if you're in my way like this. I'm sick of your annoyance. What do you want, toddler? Candy? Sorry, I don't have candy at the moment. Are you frequently an idiot? Or just a dumb creature who doesn't even knows to leave someone alone!" Vegeta said in an annoyed and yet sarcastically.

Kuwi stared at Vegeta with his mouth fully opened for a short moment. He did not like the way Vegeta yelled at him, "Hey easy there, monkey, I wanted to tell you the news that Frieza ordered me to say to everyone."

Vegeta looked in disgust at the thought of his master, Frieza. 'Damn, just even thinking about his ugly lizard face makes me get the chills.' Vegeta looked at Kuwi straight in the eyes, "Well? What's the damn news?"

Kuwi did not like Vegeta at all, so he must answer this to get this monkey business over with, "It's about the new Ice-Jin kid is born. And his name is--"

Kuwi was cut off by Vegeta's deep and fierce voice, "---Look! I don't care about the new ugly monster is born, nor do I care about that idiot, Frieza. You understand? I don't want to hear about these stupid species. You just leave the hell of me alone. The reason I am still working for that ugly girl-voiced Ice-Jin, is that I have no choice. And I don't care to listen about that idiot new Ice-Jin or whatever what not-mighty-race is! Now, will you leave me alone, or shall I punch you harder this time? So, what shall it be, Kuwi!... I am waiting."

Kuwi did not believe at what Vegeta said. Kuwi did knew that Vegeta's confident was pretty high, but, Kuwi hate to admit this, but he would 'never' have the same courage as Vegeta. "Hmph! You're too confident about yourself lately. What happened to you? Frieza could easily destroy you, you know that!"

"Feh, you don't need to worry about me, Kuwi. I'll be fine. I always have been."

"I am not worrying about you. Besides, I don't want to be punched in the stomach by a lowly Prince of Monkeys, anyways." Kuwi said the 'Prince of Monkeys' with a VERY bad taste in his mouth, like he was about to puke.

Vegeta growled at the sound of Kuwi when he said Prince of Monkeys, "You know Kuwi, I would really like to talk bad about your ugly race but I'd rather save my breath. Just look at yourself before you start complaining about me. You must know what's good for you. If it weren't for Frieza here, I could destroy you less than two seconds. I never saw you doing a 'good' mission, nor did I even hear of it. You're just someone who cleans the Empire. If Frieza didn't felt sorry for you, you would mob the floors."

Kuwi still did not believe Vegeta's courage at the moment and his anger raised by every second Vegeta spoke, so he powered up, "AAAAAAAAHHH! WHY YOU LITTLE---" 'What was he talking about? I'M the one that's stronger! And I will gladly prove it!'

"Who's little when you're childish? Trust me, it's you!"

'He never gives up, does he?' With that, Kuwi blasted Vegeta with everything he got.

Fire blasts were all over the place, making sure that Vegeta was going to pay his debts to everyone. Kuwi did not miss Vegeta. In fact, Vegeta did not move a muscle from where he was standing.
Kuwi finished with throwing his energy balls towards Vegeta and let out a loud sigh, 'Whooh! He has got to be very superior to withstand my blasts.' He laughed until he heard nothing else. Not a sound. Not a voice. Nothing to hear, he grinned. "Mwuahahaha, Vegeta's gone! Now I can make a victory dance."

((A/N: Oh, boy. --".))

Kuwi went on and on cheering and doing whatever he was pleased. "Yeah man! Who's the man?" until he heard a voice, laughing evilly from the background.

The smokes and dusts were slowly clearing away, "Oh dear, is that everything you've got? Well, too bad for your energy. You know that Frieza will kill you if you are against one of 'his henchmen'. Well, do you! I think it'll be smart not attacking you right now but later. You are so weak that you couldn't even tare a rip of my spandex suit and my armor. Tsk tsk, shame on you." Vegeta smirked at Kuwi and walked away with guts and left the terrified warrior alone. He knew that Frieza heard him via the monitor screen, but nobody knew, even Kuwi and Frieza, why Vegeta was 'so' confident.

Frieza took a sip of his whine, and still was insulted by that comment Vegeta made about the Ice-Jins, 'Damn him, I'm going to torture him when I see him!'

Frieza heard that the main door opened, "Feh! Hello Frieza." Vegeta said it 'again' full of spirit and with a dangerous smirk.

Frieza looked pissed off at Vegeta, and Vegeta guessed why. "Why you ignorant Saiyan! How dare you? How dare you to look down upon me? We'll just see about now if you could talk big!" Frieza ran to Vegeta's direction. Vegeta looked surprised and shocked to see Frieza right there in front of his eyes in just a matter of seconds, before Frieza punched Vegeta in his stomach and left him on the ground. "Now Saiyan, how does it feel to be punched by a mighty Ice-Jin you call 'weaklings', hmm? Maybe I shall refresh your memory." Vegeta coughed up blood as it soon started to flow from his mouth. Vegeta moaned as the pain in his stomach did not go away just like that. Frieza looked coldly at Vegeta and wrapped his tail around Vegeta's throat at the same time glaring 'hard' at him, "Why you monkey! How dare you to insult me and my race?"

Vegeta could not answer his question because of the tight hold of Frieza he was getting, "Ugh. you. beast!" Vegeta's last words were before he almost lost consciousness. Frieza did not like the comment of Vegeta but then if he would tighten his strangulation, there would be no one suitable to do his dirty work.

Frieza let go of Vegeta, leaving Vegeta on the floor, panting and trying to catch his breath, with his eyes completely blank, "Humph! Foolish monkey! You could get killed if I did not have someone who doesn't fall in love. You are the man who could less fall in love."

'Fall in love? What's he talking about? Where is this conversation going?' Vegeta looked disgusted, but tried to hide it. He is not strong enough to kill him right now, but he will 'later'. Vegeta still did not stand up. The pain in his neck and stomach were still there.

"Stand up!"

Vegeta did as he was told 'for now' and stood up the fastest way he could, which is not very fast because of his condition, "What is it you want to talk about?"

"First off, don't you even dare to talk about me and my race like that, understood?" Frieza glared.

Vegeta nodded, but behind Frieza's back, he just said 'The hell with you' to Frieza, but only in his mind for now on. Heck, Vegeta himself was not sure why he had the courage right now, 'What is this feeling I get every time?'

"Now, Vegeta, there is one female on that planet you previous time went called, Earth, is yet interesting for me. I don't want you to ask me why, but there's more than mating." Frieza smirked.

'What the? Mating? Frieza?' Vegeta thought Frieza had finally lost it. 'Why marriage if you have power?'

"I have found out that she's also a genius, since I looked closer to her house, she was busy doing some 'research'." Frieza got Vegeta's attention, "So, I would let you take a closer look at her to at least recognize her when you are back to Earth to pick her up for me."

Vegeta made a slight nod.

Frieza got over to the control panel and pushed the big red button for the screen, "You see this is the female I have been talking about."

Vegeta's attention did not go to Frieza anymore, but more at that blue haired female, 'What's with the hair? Is she born that way?' "Blue hair?"

"It doesn't matter, Vegeta. Don't even 'try' to question me, understand?"

Vegeta's attention was with the blue haired female, not with Frieza, until Frieza yelled at him this time, "Well understand?"

Vegeta took his attention fully to Frieza and snapped back at him, "Yes Lord Frieza!"

"Don't you 'ever' do that again when I'm talking to you, I want your full attention!"

"Yes, Lord Frieza!"

Vegeta left the Empire and headed to his space ship. 'Damn, why can't he do his dirty job alone? He can't be that busy!' Remembering everything what Frieza said, Vegeta fused with his mind into the thought of, 'I wonder why he looked at me as if he had plans for me...'

Frieza

"Maybe I shouldn't have sent him to Earth and killed him right away… He looked at her like she was something far more interesting than me… He can't just—Nah! That's too crazy. Maybe Vegeta looked at her more because he had to focus on her looks so when he goes on Earth, he can remember her… Or maybe not, either way, his destiny lies in my hands." Frieza laughed evilly and very loud and 'accidentally' forgot to shut his scouter off.

Vegeta in his spaceship

"'His destiny lies in my hands'? Is he going to kill me or something? THAT INSOLENT FOOL! After going through so many missions for all these years, he wants to kill me? Feh! And going to get that stupid woman from Earth is just as bad as it gets. Humans are so predictable. Not to mention they ARE my enemies. This mission is the worst Frieza could give to me!" Vegeta said before he turned his scouter off, so Frieza could not hear him say that sense.
