DRAGONBALLZ
THE TWISTED MIND
Return Of The Prince
Bulma rubbed her head in an attempt to stop the headache that was quickly filling her skull. She wasn't sure what was going on, only that for some reason Gohan and Vegeta had been fighting each other. She looked up and stopped, shock
filled her face. Before her lay Capsule Corp, in ruins. A large chunk of the yellow dome was missing, and most of the windows were gone. Jagged cracks lined the walls. But even more shocking as she looked past that, a large chunk of the city behind the building lay in a similiar state of destruction.
Suddenly she heard "Hey Bulma!"
She looked up to see Krillen and said "My god what happened here!?"
"I'm kinda vague on the details myself, but from what I understand Gohan went crazy and is out to get us all," Krillen replied.
'So thats why Gohan fired that blast at me, and thats why Vegeta was fighting him. But what made him go crazy' Bulma thought.
"The rest of us are inside," Krillen said. Bulma nodded and Krillen led her inside.

Rain fell in heavy sheets, the sun had now set, and it was night. It had been almost twenty-four hours since Vegeta had fallen. The saiyan prince lay in a deep crater of his own making, blood running from dozens of wounds all across his body.
Heavy bruises were everywhere. But for anyone who cared to look, his chest still rose and fell with his shallow breathing. His eyes slowly peeled open.
'Wh-where am I?' He thought, feeling confused. He concentrated. "Ah, thats right. I was fighting...Gohan," Vegeta muttered as his memories slowly returned. 'Did I get him?' He wondered. He stretched out with his senses, and his eyes
widened.
He shot to his feet and shouted "Kakarot!" He couldn't feel the other saiyans power anywhere, he couldn't feel the namek's for that matter either.
Slowly a grimace crossed his face as he sensed Gohan moving towards his home, and he could feel the surviving Z-fighters there. With a growl the saiyan prince slowly began to limp in that direction, he simply didn't have the strength to fly.

Goten had done his best to explain to Bulma and the others what he knew. The others had lsitened as well, but there were still so many unanwsered questions.
"So what should we do?" Bulma asked.
"I think we are all forgetting something," Yamcha observed.
"What?" Tien asked.
"Gotenks, as soon as Trunks wakes up the two of them can fuse and take Gohan on!" Yamcha said. For a moment everyone fell silent.
"How about that, he's right," Krillen said.
"But I don't want to fight him he's my brother!" Goten protested.
"I know, but what else can we do?" Krillen asked.
Everyone went into a thoughtful silence. Suddenly Bulma's head snapped up as she said "Hey I know, we can just take one of the my ships and head to Namek and use their Dragonballs to bring Gohan back to normal and revive all his
victims!"
"Hey yeah! Good thinking Bulma!" Yamcha said.
"I'll go get the ship ready now," Bulma said turning to leave, when suddenly what was left of the ceiling exploded.
"What is that!?" Tien cried out. Gohan descended through the smoke and dust until he stood facing the group. Before anyone could react three blasts launched from Gohan at Krillen Tien and Yamcha. Krillen lifted his arms summoning a ki
shield stopping enough of the attack to save himself, but he was still badly wounded. Yamcha and Tien weren't so lucky, the blasts sent for them tore right through them killing them instantly. With a fierce cry Goten was surrounded by a golden aura as he rushed forward, but with a casual backhand Gohan sent him unconciouss to the floor.
It was over in seconds, if Bulma had blinked she would have missed it.
"Well, that was a bit dissapointing," Gohan said with an arrogant smirk.
"Why are you doing this?" Bulma asked backing away.
Gohan looked voer at Bulma and said "Hey, how are you?" He began walking forward.
"Why should you care!? You tried to kill me last night!" Bulma said angrily.
"True, but don't worry, I'm going to do more than just try this time," Gohan said wickedly, but a sudden blast of ki shot in front of him casing him to whirl in suprise.
What he saw shocked him, Vegeta stood there with a look of crazed fury on his face as he shouted "Stay away from her!!"
"Does nobody know how to stay dead!?" Gohan cried in frustration, then glared at Vegeta. "How are you still alive?"
"Do you really think I'd be fool enought o kill myself again when it failed so badly the last time!? No, when I set off that blast I kept a small sliver of energy in reserve keeping myself alive, and now here I am," Vegeta said with a smirk.
Gohan returned the smirk as he said "Clever, but what makes you think you have any chance of stopping me?"
Vegeta chuckled lightly as dark storm clouds gathered overhead. "How many times must I tell you?" Vegeta asked as he lifted into the air above the ruins. Suddenly he threw his head back and shouted "I AM THE PRINCE OF SAIYANS!!"
Then with an earth shattering roar a tornadoe of golden light exploded to life around him as he became a super saiyan. Lightning flashed in the sky and thunder boomed as the transformation was complete. The saiyan prince was back.
