A/N I think this will be the final chapter of this story. I don't think I can go into it anymore what with it being 5 years old and I forgot what I was even thinking when I started it lol. No it's cute but I think a good long chapter will sum everything up. Please enjoy! Oh and in the last note when I was like 15 I was too lazy to spell check. The last thing Shenza says is, "I'm able to pick up on FRIEZA'S thoughts once in a while"

Disclaimer: DBZ and Hinder will most likely belong to the government as will everything someday….but they don't belong to me.

I think you can do much better than me

After all the lie that I made you believe

Guilt kicks in and I start to see

The edge of your bed where your nightgown used to be

Stepping over rock and rubble white boots slowly made their way toward a secluded cave, showered with maddening sheets of rain and meteors. Bright, frightening flashes emerged from every visible place making the dark entrance easy to find. Inside a young Saiyan woman was waiting for the opportune moment to set out for an escape pod and make a reckless and daring journey to a new life.

"Shenza," the owner of the white boots called stepping into the cave.

Glancing up afraid it could be Frieza or one of the aliens set out to destroy her, she spotted the white boots with the Saiyan royal emblem and her heart beat calmed. "Vegeta shouldn't you be out finishing your master's assignment?"

"Shenza there's something I must ask you. When I carried you back to your room and you began to pass out you muttered something."

Tears began to run down Shenza's eyes and she spat out fit-like, "Is this really the best time Vegeta. I know that you hate me. I can read your thoughts remember? Since you found out that I love Zarbon you immediately began to repress every fond memory we had together. And now that you want to know something you're not calling me a wench. What did I say that was so important?"

"Something about your brother Kakarot, and you muttered other things like low level and it's been on my mind since you've said those things."

Furiously wiping her eyes she screamed over the storm, "You're going to get yours someday Vegeta! And Kakarot is going to give it to you. I swear this is true."

Vegeta didn't say anything but calmly began to charge a ki blast in his hand and held it high above his head.

"Kill me and your killing your son."

Momentarily Vegeta held the blast in the air staring at Shenza dumbfound. Thunder roared behind him and he looked down and flung the blast behind him in a reckless non-caring matter. Then he began to walk out of the cave. Before he left he turned around and spoke softly "You knew this and yet you wish to be with Zarbon?"

Shenza nodded and mouthed to him, "I'm sorry but please don't kill me."

Taking in her innocence and beauty he had once so cherished he took one long look at her and made his way back out of the cave. Never would he forget her smile and courage. Those qualities he would later on find in her brother. And those innocent naïve looks Kakarott modeled so well would forever remind him of Shenza had ruining his already weak ability to love. Never before had he felt so shattered.

After Vegeta left Shenza felt so helpless she just began crying unable to control her emotions. Alone, cold, and scared glanced over and saw that the storm was beginning to settle down. Crawling her way to the entrance she saw that the storm had finally ceased. The sky had turned a lilac hue and across the terrain Shenza saw only desert ground.

Out of nowhere Zarbon came running towards her. "Shenza!" he cried.

Leaping out of the cave Shenza leaping into Zarbon's arm her own arms tightly embraced around his neck. She began to kiss him countless times over his cheeks and neck. "Zarbon my darling! I've missed you so."

Zarbon buried his head into her thick black hair and tears uncontrollably streamed out. He consciously knew what he was about to do to her. What other choice did he have. With a sickening grin he set her down so he could hold her face in his hands.

Looking up at him lovingly Shenza asked, "Darling are we going to find the escape pod? Why are you crying is everything ok?"

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

"Umm Shenza plans have changed," Zarbon stuttered lying through his teeth. "Radditz is going to come pick you up soon and he's going to take you to a planet where some other Saiyans have located. Both of us don't believe that Frieza has become aware of this relocation so you'll be safe there. Radditz will help you blend in so you have a good chance at survival."

"But Zarbon what about us? We're getting married aren't we?"

Not knowing what else to tell her Zarbon ran his fingers through her hair and said, "Oh course beautiful. Why wouldn't we?"

"So how are you going to escape Frieza? What's going to happen to you? Why don't you come with me?" she pleaded.

"Shenza I cannot I must stay and finish Frieza's mission."

"Who cares about the mission? Just come with me. You've always loved me. You've never loved Frieza. Why is it so easy to serve him instead of being with me? Is it because of the baby? Zarbon why won't you look at me?"

Staring blankly to the side he said under his breath barley loud enough for her to hear "Shenza you are going to leave with your brother do you understand me?"

"No I don't understand you promised we could be together"

Softly pushing her away he said, "Shenza you don't understand and the fact that you're not even trying hurts."

Backing up Shenza began shaking her head, "No, this isn't you. It's not you. Zarbon do you even hear yourself?"

Immedately seeing her turn away from him Zarbon wanted her against him again. He fought off every urge to run towards her and wrap his arms around her again.

I really miss your hair in my face

Shenza I really don't want to do this to you.

Shenza stopped in her tracks and slowly turned her head towards Zarbon. "Why don't you tell me the real plan. I know you're going to betray me."

"Shenza how can you say this?" Zarbon had been working vigorously at keeping his thoughts closed.

"You know I know don't act stupid."

And the way your innocence tastes

"You should've stayed with Vegeta," Zarbon whispered strands of green hair whipping across his eyes in the cool breeze.

"But I love you."

Staring straight at her he responded, "I love you too. You'll always be my princess."

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

Sitting on the throne inside the giant spaceship a white hand tightly gripped a glass of wine. "I'm glad you and Zarbon decided to finally stop being whiny babies and serving me properly. Normally your insubordinate actions would've gotten you killed but I like this situation better."

"Hai sama," Vegeta stood at his side and nodded.

"Although I am sorry about your little girlfriend don't worry she'll get what is coming to her. No longer will she have the privilege of marrying me. Tonight she will bear me one last Saiyan warrior and then we will dispose of her. "

One look through your old box of notes

Found those pictures I took that you

Were looking for

"Shenza you need to come with me now to meet Radditz."

"Tell me lover where are we really going," she asked scornfully.

"Shenza please understand I don't want to do this."

"THEN WHY ARE YOU?"

Rushing towards her Zarbon put his arms around her waist and slung her over his shoulder, weeping the entire time. It was impossible to drown out her screams and protests. "Zarbon I loved you. I love dyou. You watched over me why the hell are you doing this? Please tell me why?"

"I owe homage to Lord Frieza," he cried out. "I can't expect you to understand.

Feeling fists punch his back Zarbon bit his lower lip and tried to fight the pain. Shenza had just about equaled him in strength and with the emotional state he was in he was unsure of how he'd do against her in a battle. "How can you even imagine truly battling her? You love her so…" While he was deep in thought he noticed something. The punches had stopped and there was an uneasy silence. While Shenza was being quite Zarbon treated his mind by thinking back to the night he had first kissed Shenza and they had held each other so tenderly. Half-hoping she was breaking into his mind so she could understand that he still loved her so Zarbon waited for her to say something. Anything.

If theres one memory I don't wanna loose

That time at the mall you and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you

But I remember

What it feels like beside you

Shenza was absorbed into her own thoughts.

Vision

Vegeta was falling at the hands of her twin brother."Kakarot," he cried in angst. His tail had been cut off the most embarrassing punishment a Saiyan could ever endure. But what was this Kakarot did not have a tail either. Shenza did not dwell on this as much as she did the next vision that came to her.

A young man with short black hair that had a receding……hairline was walking towards a family. There was a blue haired woman and a small boy around 7 years old with lavender hair running around flailing his arms. And there was Vegeta. Another boy came into the picture with hair just like Kakarot's and Shenza's. He jumped on the lavender head boy's shoulder and they began sparring playfully. The young man with hair like Vegeta's inched nearer to the family. "My name is….."

And then so engulfed in the vision Shenza did not notice that she was laying on top of a bed her arms tied above her. Blinking everything was happened. "I passed out what happened. Zarbon are you there?"

Below her waist was an agonizing pain. Looking down at the slant she was at she saw her legs were raised and a head of green was down there. It was Zarbon. Almost forgetting their previous conversation she asked, "How did I get here? Who, what's going on?" Beads of sweat dripped from Shenza's red exhausted face. Struggling to remember what she could've done that drained so much energy Zarbon quickly answered her.

He held up a tiny premature infant that was screaming madly. Handing the child to Shenza and trying to wipe him off with a washcloth he said, "This is your son. Frieza has named him Vegeta after his father."

"No," Shenza protested. "He will not be a prince so there is no need for that name. His name will be Cree."

Puzzled Zarbon asked, "Why Cree?"

Holding her arms out so she could hold her child she just smiled. "I like that name."

The baby wailed and waved his fists madly in the air. "Just like his father." Kissing the baby's forehead she stroked his silky black hair. The baby looked up at her with a scowl and huge mahogany eyes like her own. "He's beautiful."

Leaning in Zarbon kissed her on the cheek. Loathingly Shenza glared at him. "You didn't have faith that our love could survive everything. Your doubt killed me."

"What do you mean?"

"Zarbon I did inherit the ability from my father to read thoughts and see the future. I saw what could've been had you trusted your first thoughts and stayed with me."

"Would it have been any different?" Zarbon asked tightly holding her hand. "Honestly Shenza, Frieza is everywhere. What did you see in your visions about us. Would we have survived."

Shenza nodded and Zarbon was dumbstruck. Afraid to asked he whispered, "What's going to happen now?"

"You're going to take my son," she answered kissing him one last time and handing him over to Zarbon. Upon being placed into the Greenjin's arms the baby began to bawl again. "And I'm going to stay here and wait for Frieza to deliver my fate. He knew if he asked you to do it you'd chicken out and he'd have to kill you too and then he'd lose his right hand man."

"You say this with such ease," Zarbon sniffled. "After everything I've done to you."

"Zarbon I understand and I don't care. Your fear overpowered you. It could've happened to anybody."

"I'm a coward."

Closing her eyes she smiled sweetly. "Make sure my son is safe. I love you my green prince."

"Darling I love you as well. Zarbon clutched the crying baby against his chest. "No you can't do this Shenza. Let's run away together."

Eyes still closed she whispered, "Slightly bruised and broken."

"Shenza…."

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder

Wish I never would've said it's over

And I can't pretend that

I won't think about you when I'm older

Cause we never really had our closure

Running back to the bed Zarbon kissed her one last time and savored the sweet tase of his lips on hers. "I love you my little. Please don't forget that. I wish things were different I'm so sorry I did this to you."

From behind him a cool feminine voice purred. "Zarbon if you would hurry up with getting that child out of here that would be spectacular. Me and Shenza need to have a few words alone."

"But sire," Zarbon tried to use every last ounce of courage to protest.

"Zarbon if you do not vacate this room immediately I will blow you and that baby to bits NOW LEAVE!"

Opening her eyelids slightly Shenza nodded at Zarbon to leave. "Take my child away," she whispered.

This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face

And the way your innocence tastes

Sitting on the window ledge of the space ship Zarbon cried softly to himself. "Why couldn't she have just told me it would've turned out better if I had gone along with the plan? Why? Why?" His inner voice told him, "Because you wouldn't have listened anyway."

Vegeta walked arrogantly past him a smug look on his face. "Aren't you going to look at your son Vegeta?" Zarbon spat at him.

"I'm off to complete an elite's assignment not babysit a lower class infant. So if you'll excuse me."

Zarbon did not expect much else. Looking down at the child he had wrapped in white silk he told himself that he had to rid himself of all thoughts of his one and true love. The only thing he could do to keep himself alive was to serve Frieza, watch over this child and keep his chin up.

"From our head on collision," he sang quietly to himself fighting back tears.

The next morning Vegeta(Cree) was sent out in a Saiyan space pod to planet UFAS (A/N that's the acronym of my college lol :P) and Zarbon watched out the window as his pod zipped away. Frieza called him into the drafting room as he was looking over a map of the universe. "I think we should plan Namek as our next conquest."

"Sire the Namekians will resist."

"I am the greatest fighter in the world you fool," Frieza spat. "I can take care of those green frogs anyday. Now if you'll go to the store room there's something you should see."

Knees shaking Zarbon made his way towards the storeroom. Inside was a white coffin halfway open. Knowing what was inside he slowly eased his way up there. Inside was his sleeping angel her arms folded over her chest. Kissing her cold forehead he whispered, "I'm sorry."

And I think you should know this

You deserve much better than me

A/N Wow that only took 5 years to finish. I hope my style of writing has somewhat improved over the years. And for the few Zarbon supporters out there I hope you liked this. I think it explains a lot of the bitterness with Vegeta and Zarbon. Please Review!!!
