The wind harshly whipped across the Sayian Princes face. Although it hurt him, he welcomed it. At least that was the same everywhere he went. His mind was a whirl of thoughts, none of which he wanted. The land around him was just one continuous blur of motion, matching right along with his mind and thoughts.
Why he couldn't remember anything was more than he could fathom. When he was ruthless, he would have had a clear mind. All that would have been running through his mind would be 'Kill'. He would have rejoiced at that though; right now, all he could think of was how vile that sounded. He would do anything if it meant that the word would exhilarated him, even if it meant doing something that felt wrong to him now.
He slowed his pace, now taking in the surroundings that encircled him. He gave off an evil laugh, one that scared the crap out of him. "This will do. Yes, indeed."
The small town that panned out beneath him almost called his name. It was begging for him to destroy it. None of these measly humans would mind. Their lives were nothing to live for. Though the thought went through his mind, it didn't come easily. It was almost as if he had to force it to cross. He considered it a victory.
"Now, what attack should I use on you guys?" He bent his head in thought. A bird flew by him, singing. He brought his attention to it, and saw that it had redirected its course, and was flying back at him. To his shock, it landed on his shoulder. The little robin perched there, as though it sensed no threat was in the air.
The next moment, it felt as though his mind exploded, images raining upon him.
Flashback
The birds seemed never ending. The flocks descended upon the forest in great numbers. They were slow to anger him at this moment in life. He could watch them with ease. The line was crossed when one attempted to land on Vegeta's arm as he was eating the rolls that Kakarot's woman had set aside.
They were both on break from training, clothes tattered and cuts littering their bodies. His was famished, and had one currently sliding his throat when it happened. He caught it before it could land on him. As he held it in the center of his palm, he tightened his grip around it. His intention was to smash it for even daring to sit on him.
"Vegeta! What are you doing?" Kakarot exclaimed, giving the Sayian prince a look. He had slowly been teaching Vegeta that animals had feelings too, and that not everything was made for him to destroy.
"Going to kill the damn thing. What does it look like?" He cocked an eyebrow. Wasn't it obvious?
"What have I said? That bird it innocent, and has every right to live as we do." The goofy smile appeared on the raven haired mans face.
He looked at the robin hard. What was the fuss about? The bird was nothing. Why would it have feelings? But as he continued to study it, he began to see why. It was as if the robin was pleading to him, asking him not to kill him. "Whatever." He snarled, throwing the thing away. He would rather not have to go soft on the insides.
"I knew you were a teddy bear inside!" Kakarot cooed.
Vegeta just rolled his eyes, taking a bight into the next roll that await him.
End of Flashback
He returned to the present, baffled. Why had that, of all memories, decide to show up? Irritation flared. "ENOUGH!" He roared. He cupped the bird in both hands, bringing it up to his face. "Hope you enjoyed your life, bird, because this is where you end." In a flash, he crushed the bird, letting it fall to the ground.
His breath came out in huffs. He was more than pissed. He pushed out the horror of what he'd jest done out of his mind, plummeting down, arms forward. He was going to obliterate this whole village, and there was nothing that could stop him. He pushed his ki forward, until the power formed into a ball at his hands. He let it grow. Why wouldn't he feel the thrill? Why go soft?
At that point, the familiar sharp pain hit his head again. "Not again."
Flashback
He just about had enough of this city. The stupid human who had claimed to kill what Gohan had legitimately killed was dominating everything. From the city that was now named after him, the very school that was also named after him. It all pissed Vegeta off. It should have been him who killed off the monster, and it should have been Gohan getting all the credit and not that idiotic human.
He was walking with a blue haired woman, who was humming. He didn't want to be on this trip. These shopping trips took forever, and in that time, he could be training.
The last straw was when he heard yet another couple raving about the bafoon and all that he had done.
"That's it, let's get out of here, woman." He snapped, grabbing her. He catapulted into the air, whirling around. It had no reason to still be here. He lifted his arm, allowing a ball of energy to appear.
"Vegeta! What the hell are you doing!" The woman screeched loudly. That stopped the Sayian prince from launching the ball, and to look at her.
"Going to obliterate this place. All they seem to do every time we are here is talk about that idiot. They are calling me to do it, can't you hear them?" He retorted, making no move to continue what he had been doing.
Her blue orbs softened as she brought her hand p to cup his chin. "They aren't. This is just all they know. We are a strange race. That still doesn't give you the means to kill them. Everybody has the right to live." She pecked him on the cheek.
End of Flashback
He skidded to a holt, eyes wide. That was the woman that had been with him when he woke up. She was the woman that Kakarot had said was his wife. The mere thought of it sent horrified jolts down his spine. Now he remembered why he wouldn't destroy life. "It's because of that woman."
He sped through the sky again, trying to remember more things about that woman. None wold pop up. In fact, nothing else became unlocked with that flashback. With that one though, he wanted knowledge of the rest of them. Maybe then would he understand. Some part of him wanted to rebel against that though. Only time would tell.
AN: Well there's the next chapter. Review and tell me what you thought. Thanks. And thanks for reading!
