Preciousjade76: Haha, then wait no more! XD

SaiyanQueen0522: Thank you very much *takes a bow* :3

KimiruMai: I hope you like it :D

Bulma opened the door to her room. Frieza was still asleep when the two entered but he didn't wake up until his scouter started ringing sensing their power levels. He reluctantly opened his tired eyes and saw both Bulma and Vegeta standing in front of him in armor, both looking very unhappy.

It took Frieza a moment to realize what was going on, but when he did he spoke calmly.

"So the monkey told you," Frieza stated.

Bulma crossed her arms and let her tail uncurl from around her waist. "You tell me," she said bitterly.

Frieza smirked. "I should have known," he replied. "So I take it you knocked me out with something."

"Yes."

Frieza seemed very amused, though neither Saiyan knew why.

"Go," Frieza said shocking them. "Go live your life."

Vegeta's mouth dropped open and his brow furrowed. There was no way Frieza was dropping his guard and allowing them to leave just like that.

"What's your game?" Vegeta asked accusingly.

"No game," Frieza stated. "I just want my daughter to be happy."

"Really?" Bulma spoke up.

"Of course," Frieza responded. "You were the daughter I never had."

Don't buy his act, Vegeta instructed.

I…it's kind of hard not to, Bulma admitted.

Trust me, Vegeta replied. He doesn't change just like that unless he has something to gain.

I know you're right, but part of me just wishes this could be true.

"Well, run along, you two," Frieza muttered.

"Fine," Vegeta replied. He turned to Bulma. "Let's get out of here."

Bulma nodded and went to the door giving Frieza one last look. Vegeta watched him as he left the room in case Frieza were to make a move. When he made it to the door, he shot Frieza one last glare and left.

Frieza raised his hand to press a button on his scouter. "Yes, Dodoria. I need you to take care of something for me. Distract the Saiyans…at least until I'm awake."

"What's going on?" Nappa asked Vegeta when he and Bulma showed up unscathed.

"Frieza told us to leave," Vegeta stated. "I think it's a trap."

Bulma didn't say anything. She didn't know what to think right now. Just then, their scouters went off, detecting a large number of power levels. Bulma knew what that meant.

"Damn," Vegeta muttered. He had been planning on avoiding a fight with the majority of the ship. That's why he wanted the power outage as a distraction. "We're going to have to fight." Vegeta looked to the others and noticed that Bulma had lost some of her fighting spirit. "Bulma?"

Bulma was starting to feel lightheaded and she couldn't figure out why. "Vegeta, I…I…" At that moment, Bulma passed out and fell into Vegeta's arms.

"What the hell?" Raditz asked.

Vegeta used his abilities to sense for any changes in her ki and was shocked. He didn't know if it was possible to tell after just one night and this early, but he sensed another ki, a very small but powerful ki. Before he learned that ability, he would have never been able to tell until much later. "I think she's pregnant," Vegeta whispered in concern. Both Nappa and Raditz looked panicked.

"What are your orders?" Nappa asked.

"Hold them off," Vegeta replied while looking down at his unconscious mate. "I'll be back."

"Right," the two Saiyans responded.

Vegeta brought Bulma to the prepared pods and put her in the one they would be taking. The pods were larger models that fit two people instead of one. He brushed her hair away from her face and kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back," he whispered to her.

"You shouldn't make promises that you can't keep, monkey." Vegeta let out a growl and turned to face his former master and captor.

"You were buying more time," Vegeta observed.

"Oh course," Frieza said with a smirk. "You didn't honestly think I would let you leave just like that. Well, I bet Bulma did, but I digress. The four of you will die here."

"What happened to seeing her as your daughter?" Vegeta snapped.

"Well, she chose to betray me…and you know the punishment of betrayal, don't you."

"You're disgusting," Vegeta remarked, moving defensively in front of the pod and getting into his fighting stance.

"Oh no, not me," Frieza said in amusement. "But now I see why Zarbon had tried to rape her. It makes much more sense now. If I had been the one to find out, I would have ordered it and you wouldn't have been able to do a damn thing."

"I am warning you," Vegeta muttered darkly. "You dare to harm her and that WILL be the last thing you ever do."

Frieza chuckled. "We both know that I am stronger than you, Vegeta. Let's not be delusional today. You can't defeat me."

I can and will, Vegeta thought.

Ve…ge…ta… he heard Bulma's voice. Kill him.

His mate's words seemed to fuel his power and his desire to rip Frieza's head off. He dropped into a fighting stance, letting Frieza know he was ready for a fight.

"Well, I see that someone is anxious to die," Frieza teased. "Fine, then. Let's end this."

"My thoughts exactly!" Vegeta shouted as he charged at Frieza.

Frieza wasn't expecting Vegeta to move that fast. In fact, Frieza wasn't expecting him to be that strong either and he was starting to take a beating. How much has that damn monkey been training? Frieza asked himself. He hated to admit it, but he couldn't handle fighting Vegeta in his first form.

Frieza attempted to transform after he hit Vegeta into the wall and found that he could not do so. He asked in a whisper why he couldn't change, and Vegeta with his Saiyan hearing picked up on it. He smirked. If Frieza was desperate to transform, that meant he could finally win.

He needed a plan; he couldn't win this way. That's when he got the idea. He looked over to the pod where Bulma was sleeping. One blast would be enough to destroy the ship and her along with it. Then Vegeta would be defeated. Frieza would take away the one thing he cared about most.

Vegeta continued an onslaught of punches and while he pummeled Frieza, the tyrant managed to shoot a beam aimed near the ship. The blast hit dead on.

"Bulma!" Vegeta exclaimed. He was about to race over to the pod when Frieza managed to scratch him deeply with his razor sharp nails. Vegeta held in a surprised yelp and turned to face Frieza. Hatred shone from his eyes.

"You…" Vegeta said trying to reign in his anger. "YOU BASTARD!"

Frieza was pushed back by a large force of energy. A bright light flashed around him and he could barely open his eyes. When the light died down, he saw Vegeta flying directly above him. He was angry; and he now had blonde hair and teal eyes.

A/N: Yay, Vegeta transformed. Sorry about the cliffhanger, but we're not done yet :D One more chapter and an epilogue…and then onward to a sequel :3
