Ch 2. Prince's Pride

Trunks stood there motionless stricken with his Father's newfound power. He stared at the electrical energy that his father was giving out. He could barely keep his footing as the shock waves Vegeta sent off nearly knocked him to the ground. He stumbled backwards, but as soon as he regained his footing he was hit in the face with a powerful uppercut in his chin. He was sent hurtling into the air and noticed his father charging at him. He regained control of his body just to be hit with a strong side kick to his gut. He clasped his stomach in pain and bent over. Vegeta gripped both his fists together and smashed them into Trunks head, sending him towards the ground.

Vegeta warped over to where Trunks was in the air and flew down planting his feet into his Trunks back. He pushed as hard as possible driving his son into the ground. He jumped out of the large hole he had made and dropped into a fighting stance expecting his son to blast out of there and attack him head on. He waited for a minute and nothing happened then suddenly he felt a ki surge and looked up to see a large yellow ki blast drive into his stomach.

The blast sent him backwards creating a chasm in the ground where he slid back. Eventually he rolled off of the blast for his son to be in his face. Trunks repeatedly punched at his Fathers face then delivered a quick punch to his stomach followed by a powerful knee that sent him downwards clutching his injured stomach. Trunks followed up by sending a drop kick to the back off his head, and then a double fisted pound that made a large crater in the ground.

Vegeta didn't stay down for long though because as soon as he recovered he came towards his son as he drew his fist back for a punch. He came full power, but Trunks dodged the blow with ease only to see Vegeta's foot come around and make contact with his face sending him flying backwards. Vegeta took off after his son and as he approached drew his foot back as if to hit him with a side kick. Trunks recovered just in time to block the kick, knocking Vegeta off balance, which left him an opening to deliver a kick to his side and then an uppercut to his face. Trunks drew his hands together in front of him with open palms and a large blue ball of energy began to form. It was aimed directly at Vegeta so when Trunks let it go it soared towards Vegeta.

The blast hurtled towards Vegeta with amazing speed and soon pounded into his chest. It Vegeta crashing to the ground, but he wasn't through yet. Vegeta took off into all of the scattered rock fragments and dust with his left hand at his side. A large green ball formed in his left hand.

"Check out my newest creation!," Vegeta yelled with a smirk as he appeared from the rubble, "Final Shine Attack!" The blast shot out and gave Trunks no time to respond. It hit him head on with so much force that it ripped the clothes off of Trunks leaving him with just tattered remains. He fell to the ground scarred and bloody. Vegeta rushed over to where his Son lie on the ground and saw his condition and gasped in amazement.

Trunks was bloodied up and scarred by the blast. He was laying motionless on the rough ground below him. His purple jacket had been torn off as well as a good portion of his baggy pants. His once golden spiky hair had fell to into its straight purple form. Vegeta could barely feel Trunk's energy.

Vegeta cursed under his breath as he rushed off to Dende with the unconscious Trunks. He quickly felt a burst of adrenaline and shot off at an even faster rate then before. Within a few seconds he was at the white lookout. He glanced over his surroundings a little. In front him was a long walkway with trees outlining it and then a large palace like structure rose up as tall as the tallest tree. At its peak was a tall spire that could only be seen if you were to arch your head back and gaze up. At the blackened doorway stood a small green namekian. The namekian wore simple clothing, the clothing of a guardian. He rushed towards the battered up Vegeta and unconscious Trunks.

He was about to open his mouth for a question when Vegeta shot him a menacing glare that would send shivers down even Broly's spine. Dende fell back and didn't say a word.

Vegeta, with the same evil glare as before, said, "heal him now!" He had said this in such a rough, violent voice that Dende almost immediately placed his hands over the badly injured Trunks. He called upon his own life energy to heal the beaten boy. With in a few seconds the young man's eyes flung open and his scars began to fade.

Dende thought it would be good to ask Vegeta if he would like to be healed as well. Vegeta shot him a deathly gaze that for some reason, I guess if you know Vegeta meant yes. He healed both of the Saiyans and Trunks felt an odd increase in his power level.

Vegeta smirked and then said to Trunks, "When a Saiyan reaches death and is healed he becomes a lot stronger."

Trunks began to punch and kick in the air rapidly as a test of his newfound power. He charged up into Super Saiyan form and repeated his shadowboxing session. Vegeta's face had a hint of impression on it.

His face quickly fell into a face of pure utter shock. He began to tremble at the power he felt and just as Trunks was about to question him he felt the power as well. It was at least twice his power level if not higher. Trunks felt the evil energy closing in on there location.

Dende turned to Vegeta and asked, "It can't be him. . . can it?" The expression on his face was an expression of pure shock and horror.

"Dende inside now!" Vegeta shouted as he ascended to Super Saiyan 2 and pushing his power to the limits. Dende took his advice and made a quick dash for the indoors of the lookout. Trunks followed his Father and powered up to his limits as well. He could feel the new power coursing through him, making him feel much stronger than he actually was.

They now felt the power even closer and within a minute the energy was sitting in front off them. Trunks almost laughed when he saw the pink blob that stood before him, but when Buu powered up his urgency to laugh was quickly wiped away. Vegeta was trembling with fear when the creature began to pound on his chest and laugh manically.

"Trunks go get Kakorot now!" Vegeta yelled flaring his ki almost as if to push Trunks backwards. Trunks didn't hesitate in the slightest and instantly took to the air towards Goku's house. Buu laughed as he fired a purple beam from his index finger that crashed into Trunk's back sending him crashing to the ground. He fell and was lying there a unconscious, burned body on the grass.

Vegeta growled in anger and his power level began to rise. He dashed off towards the pink blob and threw his foot into the air in a roundhouse kick position. The kick collided into Buu's face and Vegeta quickly followed up with a series of punches that sent Buu flying backwards. He warped behind him and struck the top of his head tail with a double fisted slam that sent him flying down into the lookout. As the monster made contact with the lookout the whole thing shook and a piece fell off. A large crater was all that remained of the spot in the lookout. Strange though because there was no Buu. He instantly felt a power rise behind him and then was promptly driven into the lookout by Buu.

By the time he recovered Buu had already readied a raising kick that sent Vegeta spiraling into the cloudless sky above. As Vegeta recovered he was hit again by a powerful blast to his back that sent him down towards the lookout once again. He pounded against the lookout with such force that it caused one of the numerous temples to come crumbling down. Buu had already caught up to him, but before Buu could deliver an attack Vegeta warped behind him. He drove a hard uppercut to his shoulder blade then thrust his foot into the blob's back that sent him off of the lookout.

"I have to lead him away from the lookout," Vegeta thought as he chased after the speeding Buu. As soon as he reached Buu he delivered a powerful head butt that would have cracked his skull if he had one. As soon as Buu recovered he dashed off towards the firm Vegeta. He threw a punch from afar just for his arm to be caught by the lightning swift Vegeta. Vegeta spun around in a circle carrying the helpless Buu with him and then released him, sending him flying far away from the lookout. Vegeta warped up behind Buu and then proceeded to slam him into the ground with a double handed smash.

As Buu approached the ground he recovered and placed one foot lightly on the ground. He shot back up towards Vegeta who was now rushing down towards him. They were locked in an epic clash that shook the ground around them and even the tower that led up to Korin. They exchanged blows for a few minutes each hitting the other only once or twice; the rest was all blocked or evaded. Buu finally saw an opening that he struck with a quick uppercut the drew both fist back and smashed into his stomach with each fist. As Vegeta bent down to grip his injured stomach Buu sent a devastating punch towards his face that sent him crashing into the ground behind him. Buu then warped behind him and swung his fist around in a windmill patten as if he were winding up for a softball pitch. He let out a fierce uppercut that sent Vegeta hurtling into the air.

Before Vegeta could recover he felt a powerful energy hit his back and sent him flying into the air. After a few moments he rolled off of the large pink blast and followed through with a Final Flash that was sent towards and unsuspecting Buu.

"Final. .," Vegeta began to say as he placed his hands together and a large glowing yellow energy that sent off electric charges formed and then finished with, "FLASH!"

The beam shot out of his hands and crashed into the green grass of the earth. When the dust cleared the area where the beam had hit was a complete desert wasteland. The most satisfying, yet strange part, was that Buu was no where to be found. Vegeta grinned at the quick work he had made of his competition and even at the masterpiece he had turned the land into.

Instantly he came to his senses and began a frantic search for Buu. "No way that could have killed Buu," Vegeta thought to himself when he felt a insane energy hovering above him. Vegeta flung his head up so quickly it could have broken his neck. Above him hovered Buu back to his whole form with a large pink energy ball gathering at his side.

"Ha.. Ha..," Buu screeched as he let the beam go and watched it hammer into Vegeta. The blast was so strong that it left Vegeta motionless on the ground. His clothes were mostly shredded and he was immensely scarred and blood was flowing out onto the ground around him. Buu laughed as he spun his head and dashed off towards Goku's house.
