Sorry it took so long but I'm back!

Bulma ran while throwing objects behind her to slow the things path. It was still coming at her while ripping everything into shreds.
Bulma ran to where she knew there were people so she could get some help.
She prayed that whatever it was wouldn't catch up with her.
The thing snarled and howled in rage as she through an old antique oil lamp in its face and the oil seeped into its eyes.
'Good that should slow it down just long enough for me to gain a little distance.' Bulma's mind raced as she ran down the corridor.
She heard the sound of sirens and people talking as she headed towards the first floor near the labs.
She ran out the door towards fellow lab personnel and police men only to realize it wasn't following her anymore.
Bulma stared at the way she came tensed for anything to come out the doors.
Nothing came.
Personnel members and police men rushed to her side to question what had happened.
Bulma was so exhausted she went over to a police car to sit to recall the entire story.
Meanwhile in the corridor of Capsule Corporation
Vegeta got of the floor the best he could. He was in total pain as he tried to climb to his feet only to fall down in from mind numbing pain. He tried to open his eyes but the oil burned them. He felt normal again aside from the pain but he felt exhausted as well. He soon collapsed on the floor dead asleep. Dreaming about the incredible hunger he had felt that he didn't believe could ever exist even for a saiyan.
Bulma and the police and lab personnel made their way to the corridor armed to the teeth and ready for anything.
Bulma was in the lead so she saw him first.
There was Vegeta lying on the floor beaten and battered and scratched to a near bloody pulp with fur scattered around the whole corridor.
Bulma ran to him and tried to wake him up but all she got was a groan of pain.
"Vegeta what happened? Did you kill it? Or did it almost kill you? What's going on she cried as some people hoisted him to get him to the medical room near the labs.
Vladimir came up behind her "What happened Miss Bulma? Are you alright?" He said worriedly
"I'm fine but whatever it was it got a hold of Vegeta and messed him up pretty bad." She sobbed
"Miss Bulma if I might suggest that I might take some blood samples of Mr. Vegeta and take some of the fur samples?" Vladimir asked
"Sure but why?" Bulma asked pausing from her sobbing
"Maybe I can get to the bottom of this thing you speak of if I might have some DNA samples." Vladimir said
"But why would you need Vegeta's blood?" Bulma now very interested to hear what his reasoning was for it
"By the looks of it both him and that creature practically tore each other apart and maybe some of its blood is on him." Vladimir stated
"Of course come on well go get that now while he's out of it. I don't know if he'd like anyone to get any samples while he's awake... He's just that stubborn." Bulma said
"I know" Vladimir said silently as he walked behind her towards the medical room.
By the time they got there Vegeta was all bandaged up and by the looks of it on some heavy pain killers. Strangely he even had a bandage over his eye that caught Bulma's attention. She shrugged it off for now because she was more interested on how he was at the moment.
Vladimir took Vegeta's samples and gathered some fur samples and left immediately to the lab that was given to him.
Vegeta didn't sleep so peacefully that day. He tossed and turned and even moaned loudly in pain even under heavy doses of pain medication.
Bulma decided that he might be more comfortable to be in his own room. After all he might go into a state of panic if he wakes up to the unknown medical bedroom.
She ordered a few men to help move him to his bed near the Briefs living quarter floors of Capsule Corporation.
When they got there however Bulma was shocked to see his room torn to pieces
'Did the thing somehow get in and beat up Vegeta and then come after me? But then how did Vegeta get where he was? Did he go looking for me?' Bulma thought amazed as she looked at the damage.
'Was it Vegeta I had heard scream no?' Bulma shook her head she needed to get Vegeta to a new room and a closer room to people since he didn't look like he could fight of this thing at his current state.
As she and the men went to find a suitable living place for her companion Vladimir was working franticly in his lab.
"He still fights me! I need to make it stronger somehow... The only reason why he slips out of control is because his body isn't used to the transformation. I need to have more control over him!" Vladimir yelled infuriated at the blood work he was working on.
A few hours later he gasped in surprise
"He's not human!"
Vegeta shot open his eyes... His pain was back the pain that made him that horrible monster... the monster that made him hungry... so hungry he didn't think he could stop eating if he got a hold of food. Eating continuously even if the food was people, lots and lots of people.
Vegeta felt the pain growing again and he groaned.
Bulma was sitting asleep beside him and she awoke to find him sweating and twisting on the bed beside her.
Vegeta was rolling and moaning and kicking in pain. The itching came back as well and he started to scratch frantically to relieve it.
Bulma saw this and ran to go get medical help.
Vegeta felt the transformation happen faster and it was even less painful than it was before but it was still close to unbearable.
He felt the other mind fight for control again but since the pain wasn't as bad as the last time he fought back as he lumbered out of the bed and into the vacant hallway.
His huge furry form staggering down the corridor blindly searching for something as the battle for his mind continued on.
Bulma was on her way with help and that's when they saw it.
Bulma saw the way it was acting and cautioned the workers.
"Vegeta might have injured him pretty bad so be on the lookout because a creature that's hurt will lash out at anything that threatens it." Bulma said to her men
It turned around and looked at her and Bulma gasped as it made its way towards her.
Vegeta was still in main control when he saw Bulma and he tried to make his way towards her. Hoping she would help him with his problem.
Bulma readied herself as the creature came closer grunting at her.
One of the medical workers had run to go get help as her and the others kept an eye on it.
It reached out unsteadily for her grunting and groaning as it seemed to be in a dizzy state
Bulma backed away from it as it stumbled forward and heard people rushing towards the hallway they were in and before she knew it some police officers with their guns and lab personnel with tranquilizer guns rushed forward to confront the beast.
Vegeta was stunned at the sudden outburst of people with weapons pointed at him. Didn't they know it was him? Of course he's the beast now and they wanted to make sure he didn't hurt anyone.
Vegeta called out to Bulma behind the mass of people but in only came out as a weird guttural bark. Vegeta didn't know if he could hold off the other mind for much longer. It was using his pain against him so it could take over.
Vegeta stepped forward a little ways to get to Bulma knowing she could help him find out what was wrong.
The voice of this other mind was demanding control and was getting louder and stronger and so was the pain. Vegeta started to think if he gave in he wouldn't feel the pain but he shook his head.
'I am the Prince of all Saiyans!!! I will not succumb to such trivial pain! I've been through much worse! I need to get to Bulma she will help!' Vegeta's mind raged against the other.
A lightning streak of pain was sent through his spine and branched out to his entire body. Whatever was trying to get a hold of him did not like the fact that he was not going to give in so easily.
Vegeta howled in agony and rushed forward to get to Bulma. He didn't want the hunger to consume him again. He didn't want someone to control him.
That's when he heard it.
The guns went off
He was able to dodge some of them but most of them hit and they hit mostly in the arms and nicked his ears.
Vegeta was stunned so stunned that before he could recover the other mind took its chance and took over.
Vegeta felt the hunger growing again the hunger that almost seemed to never be satisfied.
He was soon lost into a vortex of darkness as the other mind pushed him away from controlling himself for this time.
Bulma stared in shock the beast had looked right at her and was coming for her when everyone shot at it.
It seemed stunned and confused by this but then it snarled at them all and crouched into a more animalistic form than it did before.
It seemed ready to lunge again then out of nowhere Goku showed up from using his instant transmission.
"Bulma!? What's going on!? Where's Vegeta? I can hardly sense him anymore and where did this thing come from!?" Goku asked worriedly
"I don't know Goku this thing just showed up last night then it did again near lunch and now its back! It practically tore Vegeta apart he had to be put in the medical ward!" Bulma cried
Goku looked fiercely at the beast and it snarled and growled at him extending its claws.
Goku checked the beast's ki only to feel something familiar about it but there wasn't enough time to think because it lunged and it was fast.
Goku stunned through a ki blast at it.
It looked stunned and jumped out of the way and it went through the wall. It looked at him again and took off down the corridor and Goku went after it.
It turned to look at him again and snarled then jumped out a window and took off into the city.
Goku stood there looking out as Bulma ran up to him.
"Goku! Vegeta is gone! I can't find him anywhere! What if that thing got him again!?" She cried hysterically
Goku just stood looking for the beast and searching for its ki only to find that it went away as though it had somehow knew how to suppress it.
"I don't know what's going on Bulma. I just don't know!" Goku said to her then took off through the window to find it again.
