Chapter 27

The Prince is Out

Bulma's heart was engulfed in pain, she felt as though she had been shot through the heart. How could she live without the arrogant Saya-Jin King, who said she was his mate? She could see the docking area for the shuttles and she could only hope that Vegeta would come back for her, but she knew he wouldn't. After a few minutes, the Saya-Jin guard placed her down on her feet directly in front of the large dome shuttle she had helped create.

"You must get on this shuttle, Princess," informed the solider.

Bulma nodded slowly, tears welled in her eyes, she didn't want to leave – she didn't want to leave Vegeta. She had tried several times to speak to him through their bond, but she received no reply. She knew he hated her. Reluctantly, she turned to the ship entrance and entered, she was going to lose him!

She heard the door begun to shut, slowly, and she wanted to jump outside and run to her Prince. "Oh, the escape pods," she said aloud, and quickly stuck her hand into her bosom and pulling out a small white bag. "Hey, you need to get these to Prince Vegeta!" she yelled.

"Vegeta," Bulma cried, however, it was unanswered and she was tossed over the shoulder of another soldier. "Wait," she pleaded, "please, I have something that Prince Vegeta needs."

"Princess, I cannot bring you anywhere else but to the shuttle, the Prince said I must make sure that you're on board the ship when it takes off." The solider quickened his pace, and was pleased when he saw the ship was still on land.

"Listen, okay I don't even have to go, I can give it to you… just please get it to Prince Vegeta," she said hastily. The solider placed her on her two feet away from the large silver dome shuttle, her prison sentence.

"What will you have me give to him, Princess?" asked the solider.

Bulma wiped the tears welling in her eyes with the back of her hand, and then reached into the bosom of her dress. She pulled out her hand to reveal a small white sash that was tied securely, and handed it to the solider. "Just give this to him, and tell him to press on the top bottom get inside and it will do the rest. There are five of them," she explained.

The Solider nodded in response, "You must get on the shuttle now I can't leave until you do."

Bulma reluctantly walked to the shuttle entrance and despite her every fiber urging her to stay, she entered. "Bye…"

Soon after entering, to her dismay, she heard the door slowly begin to close behind her. "All passengers please be seated, we will be taking off in the next two minutes." The intercom voice announced loudly.

Bulma sighed, the door had long been shut and she stood in a daze, many of the seats were taken only a few were open. She glanced around the small dome at the many slaves and Saya-jin aboard the small ship, she didn't belong.

"Sleeping gas will be administered in thirty seconds, please take a seat," the machine recited. Bulma quickly made her way to the first available seat and halfheartedly sat down.

Vegeta stood in shock, gazing at his father's lifeless body as it lay on the floor with a gaping hole through his chest. The man, whom Vegeta had grown looking up towards, with his great pride and strength, had been killed in a matter of minutes. Vegeta quickly shook his head, he needed to get back to the battle at hand and not dwell on his sorrow. "We need to get out there now. First two rows of men will take to the sky and then the other two rows. Your purpose is not to defeat him, but to weaken him enough to let his composure slip and make a mistake that will be to our benefit. Understood?"

All the Saya-Jin soldiers nodded in response, Vegeta then walked to a small switch located on a wall in the glass chamber and pressed it. The glass covering began to rise slowly, revealing their hiding place to their foe. "GO!"

In seconds, the first two rows: twenty men in each took to the sky, all launching at Frieza in unison attacking him with punches, kicks, and kis. He countered with the same, quickly weakening each Saya-Jin, and as he was about to send a ki their way, the second two rows of soldiers launched at him. It seemed that Vegeta's brilliant plan was taking effect, the alien was beginning to weaken from having to fight so many Saya-Jin at once. But Frieza became enraged and whipped his tail violently, throwing many of the soldiers crashing into the hard ground below. He send two large ki blasts straight at a few more of the soldiers, their bodies immediately erupted into ash, leaving the surviving solders astounded.

Vegeta, Kakarot and the forty Saya-Jin men left inside the glass chamber watched intently. It seemed the beast had the mind frame of a child, and with such a great number of men around him he was like a child in a fight: blind sighted. "He is strong, but he has a great weakness…"

"Prince Vegeta!" exclaimed Bulma's escort solider, bursting in. "I have something that the Princess requested that I give you," he took the small sash out and knelt before the prince on one knee, presenting the sash to Vegeta. "The Princess also wished me to relay the message, 'Press the top button and get inside and it will do the rest.'"

Vegeta grabbed the sash, and still enraged he tossed it to the floor, "I need no device. Let's get out there now." He instantly took to the sky, with the other soldiers following behind except for Kakarot who strayed behind to retrieve the small sash.

Kakarot stuffed it into his blue spandex suit before taking to the sky to join side along the remaining Saya-Jin warriors. Kakarot was hesitant at fighting the small creature because of the power reading he illuminated. Fist after fist, soldiers attempted to hit the alien, and soon they were able to weaken his defense.

"Is this how the Saya-Jin's must fight, with mountains of people?" Squealed Frieza, He received a hard blow to the face shortly after, sending blood flying from his mouth. Another Saya-Jin was able to land a hit this time to his abdomen that had him huddle over in pain. "That's it!"

His tail begun to thrash violently once again, his eyes locked on the solider that gave him the painful hit to the abdomen and launched at him with an uppercut, sending him flying backwards. He gathered his ki and sent it flying at the solider, eradicating his body into ash. He was just about to launch at another solider when Vegeta gave him a hard punch to the face, sending him flying. He crashed into the ground below, blood trickling down his lip as if it were a waterfall. He wrinkled his nose, quickly got back to his feet and spit blood before quickly returning to the sky, with Vegeta as his number one target.

Vegeta quickly side stepped Frieza's fist and rewarded him with an elbow to the back, sending the creature hurdling back towards the ground. Frieza caught himself before he hit the hard ground and flew, yet again, back up to Vegeta. Quickening his speed this time, he managed to land a punch to Vegeta's chest. Vegeta coughed blood, his body was engulfed in pain, but he would still fight.

Frieza tried to connect another punch to Vegeta; however, Vegeta caught his fist and returned a blow to Frieza's chest. Frieza laughed mercilessly as he gave Vegeta a hard kick to the abdomen, and then followed suit with a punch to the face. "I must say, you're stronger than your father," he spoke, between fits of laughter.

Vegeta saw red at the mention of his father, he wiped away the trail of blood from his lip with the back of his hand. He went after Frieza in a blur of kicks and punches, which were returned with the same moves, they continued the tag and war fight for several long minutes, and Vegeta was slowly weakening with each blow he received.

Kakarot watched fixedly, it seemed as though Vegeta was winning and that he could defeat the vicious Frieza. There were only a hand full of soldiers left aside from him, and the odds of winning were growing in Kakarot's eyes, until Frieza gave Vegeta a hard uppercut sending him crashing into the palace. Immediately, the remaining soldiers launched at Frieza, but one after the other was swatted back like a fly, into the crumbling palace.

"It's over, Frieza," Kakarot, exclaimed. He left no time for reply, as he gave Frieza a hard round house kick, sending him flying into nearby houses. The remaining soldiers stood by in awe as the sudden intense growth in Kakarot's ki hit them like a tidal wave, and continued to increase.
